James Jay Edwards (00:25):
Welcome to Eye on Horror, the official
podcast of ihorror.com this isepisode 149 otherwise known as
season eight. Episode Nine. It'sbeen a while I am your host,
James Jay Edwards, and with me,as always, is your other host,
Jacob Davidson, how you doing?
Jacob Davidson (00:41):
Jacob, doing good. Had a very full and
rewarding summer, and it may beSeptember, but I really wish
that it would cool down.
James Jay Edwards (00:50):
Oh, I know it's so super hot. Did you see
the Gloucester sea serpent whileyou
Jacob Davidson (00:54):
were back home?
I wish
James Jay Edwards (00:57):
also with us, as always is your other other
host, Jon Correia, how you doingCorreia?
Jonathan Correia (01:02):
Oh, I'm just, just like a baked bean in the
sun, just getting cooked by theit's, it's September. This is
the hottest time of the year inthe valley. So, you know, just
getting cooked.
James Jay Edwards (01:14):
Yep, it's, it's, it's a warm one. We have
not talked in a really longtime, so we need to jump right
into it and talk about some coolshit. And I think that there is
something cool that all of ushave seen that i But anyway,
let's talk about Weapons. Yeah,Weapons was amazing. I loved
(01:36):
this movie. It was so like, it'sweird because it had like,
almost like a Sinister or aLonglegs vibe. It's a very cold
and dreadful movie. But then ithad, like, these little snippets
of comedy. And I have heard alot of people saying that they
have a problem with a third actand how it goes off the rails. I
(01:59):
think it went off the rails inthe best way possible. I
absolutely loved the ending tothis
Jonathan Correia (02:06):
movie, but the but this Assault Rifle alarm
clock that wasn't third actlike, no.
James Jay Edwards (02:11):
That was weird, that, but, but that was
also a dream that was, that wasJon. If you haven't seen
weapons, which by now youprobably all have, it's
basically about this thirdgrade. I think third grade this,
this class of kids. One night,they all get up at 217 and walk
out of their house Naruto style,yeah. And they disappear, yeah
(02:35):
and yeah, and they run off intothe night in narrative style,
except for one of them, and Heis the only one left in his
class. So, of course, they're,they're, you know, blaming the
teacher. They're blaming, youknow, it's the story is told
from the point of view of allthe different towns people like
they're, you know, it'll say,you know, that go from the
teacher, one of the parents,everybody, to this one freaking
(02:57):
homeless druggie
Jacob Davidson (02:59):
who is awesome, Jay directly inspired by
Magnolia. Yeah, yes,
James Jay Edwards (03:04):
it's, it's, yeah, it's that kind of a thing.
But it is this movie. This movierules. This movie is so freaking
cool.
Jacob Davidson (03:13):
Yeah, I was so excited to see Weapons that I
actually saw an opening daywhile I was on the East Coast in
Boston, and saw it at the IMAXtheater at the Commons, and it
it was such a fun time, like itwas a full house. And during
that third AXIe, like somebodyactually yelled in the back of
(03:33):
the audience, Holy fucking shit.
Jonathan Correia (03:37):
There was a few moments of our screening
where people had that type ofreaction. It was great, and we
had an amazing crowd.
James Jay Edwards (03:42):
It's a Holy fucking shit movie, yeah, it it,
yeah. And the thing is, theydidn't screen it for press down
here, which turned out to be agood thing, because I got the
Warner rep to give me a Fandangocode so I could go see it with
an audience. And that was a goodway to see it. I was glad to get
to see it with like, um, withlike, an actual audience,
(04:04):
because it is, it's an audiencemovie.
Jonathan Correia (04:06):
Our our audience had visceral reactions
to some of the food bits in themovie. So like the seven hot
dogs, someone, someone shoutedlike, what like with the seven
hot dogs bit, which was abeautiful homage to Trevor Moore
and whitest kids, you know,yeah. But for me, it was the
because I'm going to talk aboutthe food in the movie. It was
the whole Campbell Soup thing,yeah, oh, my god, like that.
(04:31):
That was great storytelling ofjust like what the kid was going
through, of showing the sequenceof him struggling to get the
CANS open, dropping them, andthen going to the store and
buying ones with the easy openlike it the the amount of like
character, like development andjust like storytelling of just
(04:52):
this kid in this soup was justphenomenal.
James Jay Edwards (04:55):
And the way that they unfold it it's this is
Zach Cregger, in case youhaven't known the. Who made
barbarian and the way that itunfolds with the different, you
know, telling it from differentpoints of view. It's almost
like, like a Pulp Fiction or aStrange Darling kind of thing,
where it's like, it's better tonot know some of the things he
tells you that happened earlier.
Yeah, but yeah. But the craziestthing about it is, and one of my
(05:19):
critic colleagues had said he'sall, where'd they find the
actress to play?
Jonathan Correia (05:26):
Gladys? Gladys is McCoy from Streets of Fire.
James Jay Edwards (05:33):
I saw her name in the credits, who was Amy
Madigan, and when I looked itup, she is a chameleon in this
movie. By now you, even if youhaven't seen the movie, you've
probably seen pictures of Gladysbecause it's kind of a meme now,
she's like, dyed red hair, thiscrazy looking lady. It's
freaking Amy
Jonathan Correia (05:50):
Madigan. Or, if you have my algorithm, you've
seen at least five or six dragqueens pull off that look
James Jay Edwards (05:56):
recently.
It's a good drag queen look.
Jonathan Correia (05:58):
It's, it's, the new Mia Goth. It's the new
MaXXXine or Pearl is she'siconic, but Amy Madigan deserves
Oscar nominations for this.
She's phenomenal.
James Jay Edwards (06:11):
But because it's a horror movie, they'll
probably snub her, but you'reright, she was amazing.
She was unrecognizable. Yes,totally.
Jonathan Correia (06:19):
There was one point in her performance where
Lindsey and I both looked ateach other and just went, McCoy
Streets of Fire, because we'reobsessed with that movie, and it
took a while for us to recognizeher.
James Jay Edwards (06:30):
I didn't even recognize her, and I saw the
name and the credits, and I wason who was Amy Madigan in this
and then it was only when me andmy friend Josh were discussing
it, you know, about who wasGladys, and I looked it up. I'm
all, holy crap, that's who shewas. Oh my god, so amazing.
Anyway, everybody go seeWeapons. Another thing I saw
that's brand new. It comes outnext week. I don't know if
(06:52):
either you guys have gotten achance. I know they've been
doing preview screenings. Haveyou seen The Long Walk?
Jacob Davidson (06:58):
No, I'm hoping to go to a preview screening at
the arrow next week. But, yeah,no, it's still got some time,
although I really wanted do thatpreview screen where you had to
watch it on a trip treadmill,three miles per hour, and if you
stop, and if you couldn't walkanymore, you would have to leave
the movie and you wouldn't beable to finish.
James Jay Edwards (07:19):
Yeah, that's that's the crux of the movie. It
is. It's sort of like a HungerGames kind of thing, where
America, they take one one kidfrom each state, one boy,
they're all males from eachstate, and they have to walk
until they all are dead. And ifyou fall below three miles an
hour, you get up to threewarnings, and then they shoot
(07:42):
you. And so it's you, these guysall have to walk, and three
miles an hour is, I mean, it'snot super fast, but it's a
pretty good clip. It's notlollygagging, yeah. And so this
movie, it's, it's directed bythe guy who did all the Hunger
Games movies except for thefirst one, and it is written by
(08:03):
Jay T Molnar, who did StrangeDarling. And this guy has a way
with dialog. I mean, you couldtell in Strange Darling, he had
a way with dialog. But thismovie is, I think it sticks
pretty close to the to theStephen King. It kind of
simplifies things, and it alsokind of combines some characters
and leaves out some so, I mean,I haven't read the Stephen King
(08:25):
one in decades, but it kind ofcombines some characters and
leaves out some little, littlethings. But a lot of this movie
is conversations, like the boyswalking and talking about
things, and the conversations,the dialog is really well
written, and then theseconversations will be split up
(08:45):
by just extreme violence in themiddle of this movie. But it's
so that's so well done. It'ssuch i It's not as intense as I
thought it would be, but it'sdefinitely unflinching, like the
violence in this is especiallythe very first kid who fails,
the first one who dies. Like,once it happens, you're kind of
(09:09):
just left there going, wait,they showed that, you know, I
mean, it's like, it's, it'spretty insane. But, yeah, it is.
I was lucky enough to see it wasan early screening, because they
had this discussion afterwardsof the themes of the movie, but,
but next week they start the theactual press and promo
screening. So if either you guysget a chance and it opens on the
(09:30):
12th, which when this posts,it'll be this Friday. So go see
the long walk. Yeah, can't wait.
Jonathan Correia (09:36):
I'll have to watch it at the Cinemark in my
hotel,
James Jay Edwards (09:40):
but, but on a treadmill, though, we'll see set
for three miles an hour.
Jacob Davidson (09:45):
And in terms of other new releases, I assume you
guys saw Together,
James Jay Edwards (09:51):
I have not seen Together, and I'm super
bummed.
Jonathan Correia (09:54):
Yeah, let's, let's unpack that one.
Jacob Davidson (09:58):
Oh boy, oh boy.
Yeah. Uh, yeah, no, together waspretty interesting. Like, it did
kind of feel like, you know,kind of conceptual horror thing,
because it's about toxicrelationship. Like, you got
Allison Bree and Dave Francomoving in together this kind of
rural town, and they've got somerelationship issues, and then
(10:18):
they fall to a cave, and theydrink the weird cave water. And
now they start getting reallytogether, connected, leading to
all the body horror stuff. Yeah,it's,
Jonathan Correia (10:33):
I was really excited for it together, because
it looked like there was a lotof like, you know, body horror
stuff. And it's definitely moreon the Brian Yuzna side of body
horror than it is Cronenberg, toput it in in those type of
perspectives. But my two biggestissues with it is the when it
does the body horror stuff, it'sreally good. The body horror
(10:55):
stuff is great, but it didn'tfeel like there was an
escalation with it. It almostfelt like random ideas of how it
was gonna, how them kind ofcoming together happens, until
the the finale, you were cool,but like it felt a little
disjointed with that. But mybiggest issue is it I didn't
(11:17):
feel the chemistry between thetwo in love. It felt like they
hated each other throughout mostof the movie, and I wish that
they spent more time on therelationship between the two of
them, rather than the kind ofreally ridiculous reason why it
was happening, which it goes, Iwon't spoil a whole lot, but it
(11:40):
goes into, like, a reallyalmost, kind of overly explained
cult thing.
Jacob Davidson (11:46):
And yeah, like, it leans heavy into the full
core.
Jonathan Correia (11:50):
And I mentioned the cult aspect of it
because it's not in thetrailers, but this is how much
it kind of bothered me. You guysknow me, you know, I love pretty
much anything about cults. I'mvery fascinated with the
subject. I have multiple books,so like that would that sounds
like something I would beexcited about, but it kind of
felt like it derailed the thing,because, again, I wanted to know
more, like, Well, were theythese people ever in love?
(12:12):
Because they seem like they hateeach other, right now, it didn't
really feel like, if you'remaking commentary about
codependency and getting in arut, you know, there, it didn't
feel that. But other than, Imean, it was still pretty good.
I There's a few moments where itwas like, I it was really
intense and gross and stuff. Idug it. But also that final shot
(12:34):
bit, I've been making fun of itwith Lindsay ever since. It was
a bit silly, um, but, yeah, Imean, it's fine. I'd recommend
it if it comes to streaming orsomething.
James Jay Edwards (12:47):
But I have a love hate relationship with
neon, because I love theirmovies. I absolutely love their
movies, and I love the packagethey send me at the end of the
year that has their movies init, but they don't screen
anything for press in ourmarket. I mean, the last thing
they screen they screen forpress was Longlegs. So I get so
(13:09):
frustrated and Together as aneon movie. So I have not seen
it. And neon has a couple goodthings coming out, Selby Oaks,
and also Keeper and I, and Iknow that I'm hoping that my
package comes and those are init, so that I actually get to
see them sooner than later. But,yeah, I have not seen together
yet, but it'll be in my neonpackage. Um, did either you guys
(13:31):
see I Know What You Did LastSummer? No, I didn't get to that
the new one. Did you get to aCorreia?
Jonathan Correia (13:37):
No, I was, I I wasn't really a fan of the
franchise. I didn't feel theurge to go,
James Jay Edwards (13:44):
here's the deal. No, no, you, you don't,
don't. It's not that great. Itis. It's essentially a remake of
the first one, which we'vealready gotten that with part
three. Although part three, itwas a copycat, and it was more
supernatural. But this one, infact, it could be a remake,
except the fact that the firstmurders actually exist in this
(14:06):
universe, and there are likeJulie and Ray are in it, Freddie
Prinze and Jennifer Love Hewittand minor spoiler, Sarah
Michelle Gellar is in it too.
It's like a dream
Jonathan Correia (14:18):
sequence. And is it no brandy in the post.
James Jay Edwards (14:22):
It's like a mid credits scene. Yeah, she she
pops up, which kind of leaves itopen for I still know what you
did last summer. I don't knowwhat they're gonna do with
Jonathan Correia (14:33):
that. It's like the only motivation for me
to see it is more brandy,because she rules.
James Jay Edwards (14:39):
When it's being a slasher, it's actually
kind of cool, you know, I mean,it's, it has this, the the
typical, you know, creativekills and stuff, but there's so
much stuff in between that andthe, I don't know if it's the
dialog or the acting, but it'spretty corny in between the
kills. So, yeah. It's nothingthat you really need to rush out
(15:02):
to see. It's one of those thingsthat if you're bored for 90
minutes and it comes on HBO, youknow, it's not a waste of time.
But there's definitely betterthings to to seek out if you're
going to fair. So what else isnew? Have there been a couple
superhero movies? Have you guysseen Superman or Fantastic Four
(15:23):
first
Jacob Davidson (15:23):
steps? Yeah, I saw
James Jay Edwards (15:26):
both. Would you guys? You guys
Jacob Davidson (15:28):
fans? Yeah, I like them both.
James Jay Edwards (15:30):
Here's the question, which did you like
more? Yeah, I like Superman,really. I like fantastic, four
more, I think. And here's myissue with Superman, crypto, was
CG. You guys know, I'm a fan ofanimals and movies. I think
there should be an Oscar forBest animal performance. And
crypto was probably 95% CG. Andgranted, you can't have a flying
(15:53):
dog in but they could have useda real dog for me. But anyway, I
mean, I didn't mind Superman. Iyou know, I did enjoy it. I had
fun with it, but I think I likeFantastic Four more, yeah.
Jacob Davidson (16:06):
I mean, they were both good in their own
ways, and kind of evoking thekind of more out there, Silver
Age ish superhero stylings. Butyeah, they all. They both were
great, and they both had theirpositives,
Jonathan Correia (16:21):
yeah. I mean, Fantastic Four I dug, especially
since there were it did invokesome of the Lovecraftian cosmic
horror of Galactus a bit,because that's one of the main
reasons why I love Galactus, isthat he is this very cosmic
horror character. And I dug alot of it. The problem is I just
saw Superman the night prior toit, and I really love Superman,
(16:45):
and especially after survivingthe Snyder version of Superman,
which did not get understandthat character at all. So to see
Superman's heart and humanity onfull display for the entirety of
the movie is great, not tomention, like, the just the fact
that it handled such heavythemes of, like, all right, if
(17:05):
Superman did exist now and didstep into, you know, wars and
countries and things of thatnature, what would that kind of
Fallout be? Was just so welldone. I mean, and I mean, come
on, Hawkgirl killed a worldleader.
James Jay Edwards (17:21):
Hawk girl was easily dictator. She was easily
my favorite part. She was great.
Um I Nathan, fillions, GreenLantern bug, the crap out of me,
but
Jonathan Correia (17:33):
that's the point of guy. Guardian, no, he
is annoying. Mr.
James Jay Edwards (17:38):
Terrific.
Love him. Oh yeah, so good. Iloved everything except his
name, Mr. Terrific. Come on,
Jacob Davidson (17:44):
that's, but, yeah, that's his name in the
comics. Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (17:47):
you can't change
Jonathan Correia (17:48):
that. But Mr.
Terrific, so cool, because he'sjust so stoic and like and he's
Everything about him is sologic, but he has such style and
flair, and he but he doesn'tlose that, like Mr. Spock, logic
at all. But even, like thatwhole sequence with the orbs,
and he's taking them all out,just style and flair, and
James Jay Edwards (18:09):
he's terrific, yeah, it but Hawkgirl
just flying around. Ah, I mean,she was amazing. She was
awesome.
Jonathan Correia (18:17):
People were complaining about that. It's
like, that's how she is in thecomics? Yeah, no, no. She was,
she was awesome. That actressrules. She was great in Last of
Us as well.
Jacob Davidson (18:26):
Yeah, and I gotta say, David Corenswet, he's
an amazing Superman, like, hefelt very genuine.
James Jay Edwards (18:35):
He's, he's the best Superman, I think,
since Christopher Reeve, like, Imean, you know, this is
including all of the freaking TVones, but yeah, he's, he's,
yeah, he was great.
Jacob Davidson (18:47):
He gave an emotional performance, while
also doing a lot of greatsuperhero fights.
Jonathan Correia (18:53):
Yeah, and I think it helps that, like the
script was really good as well,because Henry cavityville was a
good Superman and Clark, but Ijust think that the direction of
the of the scripts and where itwas going with it, it didn't
again. It wasn't, it was it wastrying too hard to make Superman
cool and edgy. And that's thewhole point of Superman, is that
he's not, he's, he's got agenuinely good heart and stuff
(19:18):
and like, it's, it's, that's thething that you, you almost feel
like you got to protect him,even though he's our Protector.
It's great, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (19:26):
All the, all the people who were like, oh,
Superman went woke. It's like,did you just wake up yourself?
Superman has always beenfreaking woke. He, yeah, he.
People, the
Jonathan Correia (19:39):
bad reads on on this and others, has been
insane to watch.
James Jay Edwards (19:44):
Well, speaking of woke have either
guys seen Eddington?
Jacob Davidson (19:48):
Oh yeah, I saw Eddington. Might be my second
favorite Ari Aster movie now.
James Jay Edwards (19:54):
Well, there's only been four what is, what's
your favorite? Hereditary?
Hereditary? Yeah, right. Sure?
Yeah, I think that this. I thinkI like Midsommar and Hereditary
more than this, but this isdefinitely better than Bo is
afraid. But I'm an area Astrafanboy, so I like them all. This
one is, what's so funny aboutEddington, is it kind at first
when it, when it was startingup, I'm like, oh, here, here it
(20:17):
goes. We're looking, you know,we're going full Maga here, but
then he's kind of making fun ofboth sides, like he has BLM
protesters in it who are kindof, who are kind of looking like
fools. And then, of course,Joaquin Phoenix, sheriff, who
is, you know, anti Vax, antimask. He's looking like a fool.
He's almost making fun ofeverybody. I saw the perfect
(20:39):
poster for Eddington, it was atin foil cowboy hat.
Jacob Davidson (20:44):
Well, I wouldn't say he's even really doing kind
of a both sides thing, as muchas he's showing that a lot of
people are are using politics tokind of cover up for their own
personal neuroses and andfailings, like the whole thing
with Joaquin Phoenix's characteris, just like a lot of his
(21:06):
politics, is just stemming fromhis own insecurities, like the
whole thing with his wife andlike hit masculinity issues and
just a lot of Different kind ofpersonal failings leading them
to really bad politics. But Ithink probably my favorite part
was the No Country for Old Menask, like, ridiculous shootout
(21:32):
in the town at night, likeJoaquin Phoenix is just like
tumbling and falling for athing, and he pulls out like a
chain gun from the gun store,and, well, he's being chased by
this dude. And it just does havea lot of funny moments, like,
like the Triumph music. When hemakes his campaign card, he's
got all those stupid slogans, alot of them misspelled on the on
(21:55):
the card, like you're there,you're being lied to. Why? Oh,
you are,
James Jay Edwards (22:01):
yeah? 824 put out a post that's that had that
you're being lied to with, like,some something about Eddington
on there, and people weretotally correcting them. It's
like all, dude, tell me youhaven't seen the movie without
telling me you haven't seen,
Jacob Davidson (22:13):
yeah,
James Jay Edwards (22:14):
yeah. It was,
Jonathan Correia (22:16):
did they also have a data center that was
named after, like that.
Jacob Davidson (22:20):
Me, yeah, it was shining golden magic. Carp,
there you go. Yeah, fromPokemon.
Jonathan Correia (22:24):
I saw that and that that made me go. Maybe I do
need to see this. My issue islockdown sucked that that era,
and I'm not the most motivatedto go is to a movie theater and
re experience a lot of that. Sothat's why I didn't see it in
theaters. Yeah, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (22:42):
I mean, it is it. Parts of it are gonna
infuriate you just because it'sgonna it, you know, to use a
freaking right wing buzzword,it's, it'll trigger you, but
there are other parts of it thatyou're gonna actually relate to.
And it is it, yeah, it's, Imean, Ari Aster, it does go off
(23:04):
the rails in the perfect areaway at the end. Like, you know
what Jacob was alluding to, itis it goes crazy in the best
way. I mean, I think it wasawesome,
Jonathan Correia (23:17):
nice. Well, I've been, I haven't been seeing
a lot of movies because I'vebeen absolutely killing it on my
summer reading challenge. Sohope you guys ready for Correias
Book Nook. I spent most of thesummer finishing up a lot of
series that I started and neverfinished. I read all of
Invincible, Preacher and theWalking Dead, which i i stopped
(23:40):
at walk walking dead at thewrong point, because shortly
after where I stopped it, itstarted making a case for post
scarcity society. And y'all knowme as a Star Trek fan, I'm all
about that, so highly recommendthose. But once I want to
highlight there's one bookcalled The All-Nighter. It was a
Comixology exclusive, but theyhave a few trades out now, and
(24:02):
it's about these vampires. Andthey get kind of bored. They run
an all night diner, and so twoof them go out and pretend to be
superheroes. And it's a reallyinteresting story, because how
they explain why vampires existis because there's a fantasy
element. And I only read thefirst trade. I just got volume
(24:23):
two and three and so, butthey're hinting that there's
like, something to do with, likefantasy magic stuff going but
it's a really interesting story.
It got recommended to me by thesame person who said, Hey, do
you like Sinners? Read thesecomics. This was on that list
along with so it's bipocFocused. Bipoc written, but
All-Nighter is pretty fun. Butfrom that list, was also Bitter
(24:46):
Root. And if you've been talkingto me at all this year, I will,
I probably shouted at you aboutBitter Root, which is absolutely
phenomenal. That's it'sLovecraft Country meets
Ghostbusters set in. Uh. The,you know, the Harlem heights
era. And that one's phenomenal.
And they just came out with thesequel series, Bitter Root: The
(25:08):
Next Movement, which justfinished its run, which takes
place in the 60s and has that,like 60s, retro futuristic look
like Fantastic (25:16):
Four First Steps, but continues the story
of like, how hatred and racismturns people into these beings
called like jinoo. But nextmovement takes it a step further
and goes even more Lovecraftian.
It's it's such a great read, andthey always include amazing
essays at the end of each comic.
(25:37):
Another one that I would highlyrecommend is a mute The
Amusement Park. So Sandy KingJohn Carpenter's comic book
company with with Sandy put outa comic book adaptation of
George A Romero's The AmusementPark, the film that was on earth
(25:58):
a few years ago. If you like themovie, I highly recommend the
comic. The artwork isincredible. They expand on a lot
of the themes that are in themovie. Because, of course,
there's some limitations, asGeorge A. Romero made this as
like a PSA, and it was funded bya church and whatnot. So it was
cool seeing them, like, expandout on some of those themes, of
like, taking care of the elderlyand what it's like going through
(26:21):
all that. And the last of mycomics I'll recommend is
Exorcism at 1600 Penn. I juststarted reading the trade for
that. I'm like an issue in andit's all I'm already
recommending it to everybody.
It's phenomenal. If you're a fanof the of the of Exorcist the
series, yeah, I'm being thatfucking specific right now. The
(26:43):
series, exorcist series, and howthey with the show, they did a
really good job of showing theseduction, or, like, what led to
the possession beforehand.
Exorcism at 1600 Penn. It's likeexorcist the series meets Chucky
season three, I'd want to say,well, because, you know, group
(27:04):
crazy horror stuff in the WhiteHouse. Yeah, it's really
interesting. It's really coolseeing like the demon in the
background and all that. And,yeah, it's a really fun read.
And I've read all these onHoopla, so if you have a library
and they have Hoopla, I highlyrecommend it. It's a great
resource to be reading comics onthe cheap and testing them out.
Jacob Davidson (27:27):
Yeah, yep.
Speaking of comics, while I wason the East Coast, I actually
picked up a couple of Dark Horsestarted doing a bunch of EC
comics archives releases onpaperback. So they're pretty
cheap. Like they got wholevolumes that are a couple 100
pages and a few issues for only,like 20 bucks each. So I got,
(27:48):
like an old tales from the Igot, like Tales from the Crypt
and Vault of Horror. And it isso funny reading the original
comics after being such a bigfan of the tales for the Crip TV
show for so long because, youknow, drew on all that the Tales
From the Crypt, Vault of Horror,Haunt of Fear, and they are,
actually, are very well writtenand very funny and ghoulish, and
(28:11):
it's, and it, yeah, I got someof the issues that had been
adapted, like, I forget thename, but the one with Joe Pesci
and the twins that that was oneof the issues I got. But also,
there's some really crazystories that never got adapted,
(28:33):
but I think would have been fun,like the let's see this one
where it's like a game show, andyou fake the contestants of
vampire, but it turns out thepeople running the game show are
vampires that they eat the guy.
So there's a lot of funny stuffto it.
Jonathan Correia (28:51):
I've been collecting those too. I have all
of the trades for Tales, Hauntof, and Vault, and they just
started putting out, because ECwas revived recently, and they
just started putting out thetrades for those. So if you like
that, I recommend Yeah,epitaphs, of of, of evil. I
believe it's called
Jacob Davidson (29:11):
Yeah, something
Jonathan Correia (29:12):
like that.
It's, it's, it's a lot of funand really good. It's, it's in
that style, but with, likemodern, you know, Epitaphs From
the Abyss, my apologies,
Jacob Davidson (29:21):
yes, yes. It's a fun read, and they've got a sci
fi one too, like weird tales. Ithink it was like a Abyss of
Horror or something like that.
Yeah, yeah. It's cool that hesees back and with new artists
and writers and stories, but itis funny to revisit the
originals. And you know, ifthere hadn't been such a
(29:42):
crackdown on horror comics backin the day, it does make you
wonder how the art form couldhave evolved.
James Jay Edwards (29:50):
Have you guys seen this movie? I think it's on
Hulu called Borderline.
Jacob Davidson (29:53):
Uh, yes, I actually saw it theatrically. It
had a limited run at AlamoDrafthouse.
James Jay Edwards (29:58):
Yeah, this is, it's. Samara Weaving, and
she plays a kind of like aMadonna, yeah, yeah, although
Madonna exists in her universe,so she's not Madonna, but she's
kind of like this, this pop starwho kind of burns through
romantic partners. But there'salso this fan who's just
(30:19):
obsessed with her, who whobasically wants to marry her,
has has set up a wedding forthem. So it's kind of like a
crazy stalker story, but
Jacob Davidson (30:31):
then that it turns into Alone in the Dark,
because then he busts out of anasylum with two other patients
to, like, do a home invasion andhold her hostage,
James Jay Edwards (30:42):
yep, so it, but it, yeah, it's another
Samara weaving covered in bloodmovie that, you know, we love so
much. It's his own sub genre.
Jonathan Correia (30:50):
Love Samara weaving,
Jacob Davidson (30:52):
uh, yeah, she was great. And also Ray
Nicholson, son of JackNicholson, plays the stalker
guy, uh, Paul and he and hedoes, you know, he looks so much
like his dad, so that when hedoes kind of go crazy, he does
kind of evoke Jack in theshining, although I also have to
(31:16):
say I was a Big fan of AlbaBaptista, who played the French
asylum patient who escaped, whoescapes with Ray Nicholson,
because she's like, just ascrazy, and she's kidding. She's
got this whole French theme toher. So she was very quirky.
James Jay Edwards (31:36):
Ray Nicholson, whose face was all
over the promotional materialsfor smile too. And he was in the
movie for about, you know, 20seconds, yeah.
Jacob Davidson (31:45):
And he was the bad guy in Novocaine, yeah,
James Jay Edwards (31:50):
Hey, speaking of Novocaine, although not
really, speaking of Novocaine,but similar style. Did you guys
see Nobody 2?
Jacob Davidson (31:58):
I did. I thought it was a lot of fun.
James Jay Edwards (32:01):
I loved it. I thought it was totally did you
see it?
Jonathan Correia (32:04):
Correia, let me tell you, there's 16 volumes
of The Walking Dead, which iscomprised of two trades. When I
tell you I spent my summerreading, I genuinely spend my
summer reading,
James Jay Edwards (32:17):
well, nobody too, basically, is Bob Oden
Kirk's character from nobody,and he's on vacation, and, of
course, he goes to a place onvacation that is ripe with
criminals and corruption, and hebasically gets into trouble the
same way he did in in Nobody.
But yeah, it's just, it's, it'sa lot of fun, and it's a lot of,
(32:39):
you know, ass kicking and,
Jacob Davidson (32:44):
yeah, it's National Lampoon's Vacation
turning into John
James Jay Edwards (32:46):
Wick, yeah, yeah, it pretty much is, but
yeah, yeah. And it's directed
Jacob Davidson (32:51):
by Timo, Oh, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (32:54):
Timo jonto, yeah. I don't know how to say
the name, but he did the one ofeverybody's favorite VHS
segments,
Jacob Davidson (33:03):
yeah, Timo to hunt. Oh yeah, no, he did VHS
two and VHS 94 and he also didsome really great action movies
on Netflix, like the Night Comesfor Us, The Shadow Strays, The
Big Four. So, like, this is aguy who knows how to do his
action with ample gore. So yougot people getting blown up and
(33:24):
impaled in like traps. And I dolove that Bob Odenkirk gets to
use an old fashioned tommy gunfor a scene. And also Sharon
Stone is the main villain, andshe just goes full ham like she
is crazy.
James Jay Edwards (33:39):
I didn't realize it was Sharon Stone. It
was another Amy Madigan moment,because I saw it all Sharon
Stone. I'm like, oh, was she themate? Because you're right,
she's totally, she's having somuch fun with this, this role,
and she's not, not really unreNot as unrecognizable as Amy
Madigan, but she but it was kindof a surprise to see that it was
Jonathan Correia (34:00):
Sharon Stone.
And does she get to do someaction bits? Because she can
Jacob Davidson (34:03):
do Yeah, yeah, you stab peoples in the face.
Yo, yeah, yeah,
Jonathan Correia (34:07):
making me want to watch The Quick and The Dead
again. But the director ofnobody too, is doing beekeeper
too as
Jacob Davidson (34:14):
well. Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard about that.
James Jay Edwards (34:17):
Yes, they're making a Beekeeper 2, because
The Working Man was not aworking man. Was not the
Beekeeper 2 that I wanted. Itdidn't work. Have either you
guys seen Dangerous Animals?
Jacob Davidson (34:29):
Yes, I did see that. I was actually at the big
screening they did at theEgyptian theater on my birthday.
James Jay Edwards (34:35):
I finally caught up to that, because IFC
sent out their FYC screeners forthe year. Dangerous Animals is a
crazy movie. It's basically thisserial killer, which is Jay
Courtney and um, his his way ofkilling people is using sharks.
He takes him out on his boat andhe dangles them above the water
(34:56):
while he chums the water forsharks. And if. It's, it's
pretty crazy. And it goes placeslike, I mean, I don't want to
spoil anything, but it goes tosome Moby Dick places that are
pretty awesome.
Jacob Davidson (35:09):
Yeah. Also, this might be one of my favorite Jay
Courtney performances, becausehe gets to be very hammy and
Australian, yeah. Like, he's nothiding the accent.
James Jay Edwards (35:18):
Is he Australian? Like in real life.
Okay, cool. He is genuinelyAustralian. He's one of those
like Charlie Hunnam. I got soused to seeing him in Sons of
Anarchy that when I see him likein interviews and he's British,
I'm like, What the hell is Jaxteller doing speaking with the
accent?
Jonathan Correia (35:36):
I'm the opposite with him. I'm like, why
is the British exchange studentfrom undeclared speaking with an
American accent, watching sons.
Jacob Davidson (35:44):
And did any of you guys see the New Toxic
Avenger?
Jonathan Correia (35:48):
No, listen, there's a there's a lot of
issues of Invincible. And I, Ihad a lot of reading to
James Jay Edwards (35:56):
do with me.
It was my social anxiety,because the press screenings
were during Comic Con, and theywere at theaters next to Comic
Con, and I was like, yeah, no,I'm not going down there. So,
yeah, I missed it.
Jonathan Correia (36:08):
That was, that was me with highest to lowest.
Like, I glad Lemley was showingit, because I was like, I'm not
going to downtown. I'm sorry.
Jacob Davidson (36:15):
Like, well, yeah, no, the dude, Toxic
Avenger movie by Maken Blair isfinally out. And it's so funny
because, like, I saw it almosttwo years ago at Beyond Fest,
and it was, you know, just sucha big event. Like, they decked
out the arrow theater our, ourwater was green for a while
because they dyed it and that,you know,
James Jay Edwards (36:37):
for a while after the screening, like, for
like, weeks after,
Jacob Davidson (36:42):
yeah, no, there was green slime everywhere. I'm
kidding. I'm kidding. But no,what I'm trying to say is that,
you know, they just made such abig event of the Toxic Avenger
festival screenings. It suckedthat, you know, they shelved it
for a couple years because,like, I had such a blast, and it
was such a fun time. Butthankfully, cineverse, and, you
(37:07):
know, the team behind it, put itout, and I and they did, they
didn't really change it thatmuch from the the version I saw
at beyond fest, except, I thinkthey extended the credit seek,
or the credits tag sequence. Soif you want to learn how to make
an authentic Toxic Avengergrilled cheese sandwich, I
(37:27):
recommend staying for after thecredits. But no, it's such a fun
movie. I mean, I really lovePeter Dinklage, and this gave
him the chance to do somethingvery different from what people
are used to seeing him do. Plus,you got Kevin Bacon and Elijah
Wood as bad guys and very weirdand kind of can't be bad guys
like Elijah woods a hunchbackwho's managing a monster core
(37:53):
band, and Kevin Bacon is adickhead CEO obsessed with
health who's like injectinggorilla blood into himself. And,
you know, example, Gore, itreally is evocative of kind of
the style of trauma and theoriginal Toxic Avenger movie,
but also strangely timely,because much like trauma, which,
(38:15):
despite its usual absurd andline crossing gore and
weirdness, there is someemotional core to it and socio
political messaging, because,like, Peter Dinklage is a single
dad trying to take care of hisson and the Yeah, I mean, it has
(38:39):
all the kind of anti corporatemessaging because, like, it's
Kevin Bacon's evil companythat's polluting the environment
and make everybody sick. And thefunniest part to me was that
there was a sequence where theseproud boy type guys, the nasty
lads, took over our restaurant,fast food restaurant, which was
(39:02):
called Mr. Meat, but was changedto miss meat because they were
so mad about the name, and Ijust couldn't stop thinking
about, like, the whole CrackerBarrel of controversy that made
all these right wing dudes sopissed off, so toxic. Adventure
really is a topical, uh, movieand a hero for our time. And one
of the best promotional, uh, seethings they ever did, and they
did was that they bought andtook care of over $5 million of
(39:27):
medical debt, and with theirincreasing box office, they're
they're helping to eliminatemore medical debt.
James Jay Edwards (39:35):
Correia kind of alluded to it, but let's talk
about a couple of not reallyhorror movies, but crime movies
from auteurs. Let's go tohighest to lowest. First, the
new Spike Lee joint.
Jonathan Correia (39:45):
Don't even get me started this movie.
James Jay Edwards (39:48):
It's almost like two movies. And honestly,
there's basically DenzelWashington dealing with being
this, not really washed up, butthis struggling music. Yeah.
Mogul, and then there's thiskidnapping side of it. And
honestly, the Denzel Washingtonmusic mobile part was more
(40:08):
interesting than the kidnappingpart. I was a little
disappointed in the crimeaspect. And then the movie
itself becomes a freaking musicvideo towards the end, and
you're like, Oh wow, come on.
Yeah because, oh yeah, becauseAesop Rocky is in it. And you're
like, I loved it. The thingabout the kidnapping one is it's
all so far fetched. And you'relike, ah, yeah, I don't know,
but, but the Denzel Washington,and here's the thing, Jeffrey
(40:31):
Wright is in it. He kind ofplays this ex con who's Denzel
Washington's right hand man. Andfor someone to be able to out
act Denzel Washington. Thattakes some talent, but Jeffrey
Wright did it. He, he isincredible in this so that,
yeah,
Jonathan Correia (40:48):
both of them, yeah, I gotta, I gotta say
something about Highest 2Lowest, because I absolutely
fucking loved it. I fought tofind a screening, which was
insane, because I live in LosAngeles. You think that they
would have more than fourfucking theaters showing it, one
of which was only doing 10pmshowings, and two the other two
were downtown. But I'm so glad Isought it out, because the
(41:10):
crowds energy was incredible.
With it, all the jokes landed,and I loved it, because the
setup is a kidnapping movie, butit's not about the kidnapping
and and so I can understand whythere's a bit of a disconnect.
But Spike really took theopportunity to really talk
about, like, where art andentertainment is right now. I
thought you were
James Jay Edwards (41:31):
going to say he took the opportunity to bash
Boston.
Jonathan Correia (41:34):
Oh, did he ever like, if you walk out of
Highest 2 Lowest, you knowexactly where spike stands on AI
and Boston sports, and the truthis, he fucking hates both of
them. There's, there's an entiresequence where they during the
chase, where they enter in atrain full of New York fans, and
they're just chanting, fuckBoston. Fuck Boston. Fuck. To
(41:58):
the point where, where the actorgets, like, into a face, close
up, and is staring down thebarrel of the lens screaming,
fuck Boston. It's great.
Jacob Davidson (42:06):
Wow. I didn't see the movie, but there was an
interview that Spike Lee did inCentral Park, and he saw a guy
wearing a red sox hat go by. Islike, Hey, fuck the sox. Like he
just stopped the interview. Thatguy. He hates Red Sox,
Jonathan Correia (42:21):
yeah, he's a huge Knicks fan, but it's but
it's really masterful, and it'scritique and dwellings on where
entertainment is right now,especially as a business, as an
industry. And nothingencapsulates that more than the
end credits. Song is samples anduses this 1970s Italian song
(42:44):
where the guy wrote, basically,in Italy, Italian artists were
struggling to get on the chartsbecause English songs were much
more popular or American songs.
So he wrote a song that wascomplete gibberish, but sounded
like he was speaking English,and I think them using that and
putting it was the singer that'salso featured at the end of the
(43:05):
movie. She's singing over it,just that overlay, I thought
was, was a perfect, likeencapsulation of the themes of
the film. And so, yes, if you'relooking for, like, another crime
thriller, this isn't that. Ituses a lot of that to tell its
story, but I think it'smasterful. Even the chase
sequence was, there's a lot ofchoices where it's like anyone
(43:26):
else would have done this in avery stereotypical, like high
energy way, and Spike was muchmore. Did it in a very different
manner. I don't want to say itwas slow or or anything like
that. It just wasn't like highenergy in that sense. And it
kind of made me even morenervous because of that, because
it's like, Why? Why isn't thismoving along like it would?
(43:46):
There was a lot of veryinteresting takes, and the
distribution of it, I think, hasbeen trash, because they're
barely putting it in theaters,barely pushing it, and it is
going to Apple TV, plustomorrow. But, I mean, come on.
I was
James Jay Edwards (44:04):
gonna say this is one of those, A24
straight to Apple so whichactually, now they think about
it that the Tragedy of Macbethalso with Denzel, but the
tragedy of death is starting tohit other platforms. So I don't
know if it was a limited Applecontract or whatever, but, but
also these cinematic autuermovies, Darren Aronofsky is
(44:26):
Caught Stealing. You guys seenthis?
Jonathan Correia (44:29):
No, I haven't seen that yet, nope, but I saw
the red carpet footage of thecat showing Okay,
James Jay Edwards (44:34):
the cat is okay. Here's, here's the deal
with Caught Stealing. It's yourtypical crime drama. It's
nothing special on the Aronofskyscale. It's actually kind of mid
to low. It's better than Noah,but it's not The Wrestler, um,
but that cat is amazing. It'sthe same cat. His name is tonic.
It's the same captain. The PetSemetery remake,
Jonathan Correia (44:55):
best part of that movie, too. Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (44:58):
yeah, he was.
But. It's funny because, like,because, like, you said, Austin
Butler and Zoe Kravitz isamazing in this, in this movie,
Austin Butler's okay, but Idon't think they gave him a
whole lot to work with. ZoeKravitz is easily the emotional
core of the movie. But, um,they'll be doing their red
carpet interviews and stuff, andthey'll put this cat in this car
(45:19):
and, and someone is controllingthe car, obviously, but it, but
the car, the cat will drive upinto the middle of this
interview in this car, but,yeah, that cat, but Caught
Stealing it's, I mean, it's yourpretty typical, you know, this
guy's, he's speaking, we weretalking about Amy Madigan,
unrecognizable. He Austin Butlergets caught between the Russian
(45:43):
mob and these Hasidic criminalsis just kind of what is the
these? They're in the guy'sphone as the Hebrews, and it's
leave Schreiber and VincentD'Onofrio, and they both have
these huge beards. They're justchameleonic. And it's kind of
hilarious, because these guys,you know, they'll like, go home
(46:04):
to their bubby, and they'll talkand stuff, and then they'll go
out and they'll rip people'seyes out with a spoon. It's,
it's pretty crazy that what hegets in between, and his Matt
Smith plays his his punkneighbor, who's, who's the owner
of the cat, but he ends upthat's the whole thing. Is like
(46:27):
his neighbors, like, take careof my cat while I'm in England.
And of course, there's more thanjust the cat that he has taken
care of, because all this othershit happens. But it is on the
Aronofsky scale. I think it saysmore about Aronofsky movies than
it does this movie, because thisis not a bad movie, but it's not
one of Aronofsky best. It's alittle too typical for
(46:47):
Aronofsky, I think is, is theissue. But, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (46:51):
it seemed like he was doing kind of a crime
caper type of movie. He very
James Jay Edwards (46:55):
much, and he didn't write it. It's, uh, based
on a novel, and the the novelistadapted his own screenplay, so
that might have had something todo with why it's a little it's a
little too typical, becauseAronofsky didn't, you know, he
didn't have complete he's takensomeone else's script. But
let's, let's wrap things uphere. But I think let's wrap
(47:16):
things up here. Correia with aknown caller
Jonathan Correia (47:19):
dog. No, I shouldn't have told you I
watched a Netflix True Crimething, because I know, I knew
you were going to want to talkabout, well, at least we're not
talking about Train Wreck.
James Jay Edwards (47:27):
Hey, yeah, I oh yeah, no, I avoided all the
train wreck that I've watchedbecause there have been, they're
putting out one of those everyweek, it seems um, but those
ones, the blue boy one is cool,though, but the rest of them are
um, but no UNKNOWN CALLER this.
It basically this. It's this.
It's a convoluted story, butbasically this girl started
(47:49):
getting texts from an unknowncaller that was like, not really
threatening, but like, talkingcrap about her, about her
boyfriend, saying things like,You're so ugly, your boyfriend's
gonna leave you for me that allthis stuff, and they're trying
to find out who is sending herthese messages, and it goes to
some really weird places, and itkind of reveals who's sending
(48:13):
these messages. Kind of earlyfor me, in fact, so early that I
actually thought I'm all this,can't be this, this can't be the
end of this. But it was, well,
Jonathan Correia (48:23):
it's, it's, it's weird because, like, it's
basically, it's this teenagegirl, and it happened in like,
2020, so it was, like, a recentthing, but it was this, like, 13
year old girl and her boyfriend,and it was always in group chats
between the two of them. And itwas all this shit talking of,
like, your boyfriend's gonnaleave me, because I put out much
more explicit than that. Butlike, it starts off as like
this, like, it seems likethey're trying to break them up,
(48:44):
but then it, like, it stops forlike, six or eight months, and
then comes back and for like, ayear and a half, it's like, 40
or 50 texts a day at somepoints, and it's
James Jay Edwards (48:55):
at one point they did break up, and he starts
seeing another girl, and thatgirl's mom starts getting texts.
Yeah, so, so, I mean, it goesway further than just this group
chat. Like, it almost seems likeit's clearly someone in their
inner circle that's doing this,who has, you know, knowledge of
where these two kids are andwhere they go
Jonathan Correia (49:15):
and and they do reveal who it is decently
early. But, and it's becausethere's a lot to unpack with who
it turns out to be. We're tryingnot to spoil it right now, but
there's a lot to unpack. And Ithink my only it was something I
watch while doing other stuff,but, like, my biggest
disappointment with it was justthe fact that, like, I don't
know, there was so much tounpack with it, and it felt like
(49:37):
there was, there's no realcatharsis on, like, why they did
it. There's no I wish, I wish. Iwish more time had had lapsed so
that we could see, like, more ofthe ongoing effects I do really
like, because there's pointswhere, with the texting, where
they implicate other students,and so there's other. It's not
(50:00):
just these two kids who arebeing massively traumatized by
this, because, again, whenyou're getting 40 to 50 texts a
day and they're saying you're ananorexic bitch and you should
kill yourself, like, that'sgonna take a toll on you. But
like, it also shows that, like,with the implication that it
might have been this otherperson in the class, like, that
person's life was affected,these families lives were
(50:20):
affected. So I'm, I'm glad thatthey did interview all these
people and showed that it wasmore than just two but I don't
know it. I wish we were a fewmore years out, because then you
could see the longer effect ofit. Maybe if they do a revisit
in like, a few years, I'llprobably watch it. But, like,
it's pretty insane, because youthink like cyber bullying, cyber
(50:43):
stalking, things of that nature,it's still relatively new, but
also not in our society. And Ido respect the fact that they go
into how this has realramifications in the real world
on people,
James Jay Edwards (50:57):
and not just for the people who are getting
the like like you said, theperson doing it pointed the
finger at other people, and mayand planted clues to make it
look like these other people aredoing it to throw the trail off
themselves. So, you know, thereare people going around the
school saying, Oh, this girltotally is doing all this, and
(51:18):
it ruined her life, too. Yeah.
And, you know, and, and by theend, you know, everybody knows
this girl didn't do it, but sowhat she's already branded, you
know, it, yeah, it's and,
Jonathan Correia (51:31):
of course. And of course, the cops didn't do,
oh, the cops due diligence. Iloved when the parents of, like,
one of the kids that was blamed,they were like, Yeah, we told
them to investigate that person,but they didn't. It took, like,
the FBI having to get searchwarrants from these third party
apps and stuff to go and it'slike, Y'all couldn't have done
(51:51):
that from the fucking beginning.
You couldn't have asked thosepeople for their fucking phones
from the
James Jay Edwards (51:56):
beginning.
Like, you know, you could havesolved this two years ago,
right?
Jonathan Correia (52:00):
But it's but it's also pretty insane, because
they have the the camera footagefrom the body cams of the cops
when they go to confront theperson, and that scene goes on
for a long and it's veryuncomfortable. There's a lot,
there's a lot of revelations andrealizations happening in real
time. And it is, it is rough.
James Jay Edwards (52:22):
That is, it's uncomfortable. It is, yeah, it
is that, that one's tough.
Jonathan Correia (52:26):
So it's, it's, I mean, it's your typical
Netflix True Crime doc, it, butit's, it's, it's interesting. I
was interested in it becausemost of the time when people
were like, You should watch thistrue crime doc, it's like, Oh,
great. Let's watch anotherserial killer thing. Let's watch
another murder thing. So I wasinterested in the cyber
bullying, cyber stalking aspectof it. So all
James Jay Edwards (52:44):
right, cool.
Well, sorry, we missed like twomonths. I won't even say we

Jay Edwards,
Jacob Davidson (54:37):
I'm Jacob Davison
Jonathan Correia (54:38):
and I'm Jonathan Correia.
James Jay Edwards (54:39):
Keep your eye on horror.
Welcome to Eye on Horror, the official
podcast of ihorror.com this isepisode 149 otherwise known as
season eight. Episode Nine. It'sbeen a while I am your host,
James Jay Edwards, and with me,as always, is your other host,
Jacob Davidson, how you doing?
Jacob Davidson (00:41):
Jacob, doing good. Had a very full and
rewarding summer, and it may beSeptember, but I really wish
that it would cool down.
James Jay Edwards (00:50):
Oh, I know it's so super hot. Did you see
the Gloucester sea serpent whileyou
Jacob Davidson (00:54):
were back home?
I wish
James Jay Edwards (00:57):
also with us, as always is your other other
host, Jon Correia, how you doingCorreia?
Jonathan Correia (01:02):
Oh, I'm just, just like a baked bean in the
sun, just getting cooked by theit's, it's September. This is
the hottest time of the year inthe valley. So, you know, just
getting cooked.
James Jay Edwards (01:14):
Yep, it's, it's, it's a warm one. We have
not talked in a really longtime, so we need to jump right
into it and talk about some coolshit. And I think that there is
something cool that all of ushave seen that i But anyway,
let's talk about Weapons. Yeah,Weapons was amazing. I loved
(01:36):
this movie. It was so like, it'sweird because it had like,
almost like a Sinister or aLonglegs vibe. It's a very cold
and dreadful movie. But then ithad, like, these little snippets
of comedy. And I have heard alot of people saying that they
have a problem with a third actand how it goes off the rails. I
(01:59):
think it went off the rails inthe best way possible. I
absolutely loved the ending tothis
Jonathan Correia (02:06):
movie, but the but this Assault Rifle alarm
clock that wasn't third actlike, no.
James Jay Edwards (02:11):
That was weird, that, but, but that was
also a dream that was, that wasJon. If you haven't seen
weapons, which by now youprobably all have, it's
basically about this thirdgrade. I think third grade this,
this class of kids. One night,they all get up at 217 and walk
out of their house Naruto style,yeah. And they disappear, yeah
(02:35):
and yeah, and they run off intothe night in narrative style,
except for one of them, and Heis the only one left in his
class. So, of course, they're,they're, you know, blaming the
teacher. They're blaming, youknow, it's the story is told
from the point of view of allthe different towns people like
they're, you know, it'll say,you know, that go from the
teacher, one of the parents,everybody, to this one freaking
(02:57):
homeless druggie
Jacob Davidson (02:59):
who is awesome, Jay directly inspired by
Magnolia. Yeah, yes,
James Jay Edwards (03:04):
it's, it's, yeah, it's that kind of a thing.
But it is this movie. This movierules. This movie is so freaking
cool.
Jacob Davidson (03:13):
Yeah, I was so excited to see Weapons that I
actually saw an opening daywhile I was on the East Coast in
Boston, and saw it at the IMAXtheater at the Commons, and it
it was such a fun time, like itwas a full house. And during
that third AXIe, like somebodyactually yelled in the back of
(03:33):
the audience, Holy fucking shit.
Jonathan Correia (03:37):
There was a few moments of our screening
where people had that type ofreaction. It was great, and we
had an amazing crowd.
James Jay Edwards (03:42):
It's a Holy fucking shit movie, yeah, it it,
yeah. And the thing is, theydidn't screen it for press down
here, which turned out to be agood thing, because I got the
Warner rep to give me a Fandangocode so I could go see it with
an audience. And that was a goodway to see it. I was glad to get
to see it with like, um, withlike, an actual audience,
(04:04):
because it is, it's an audiencemovie.
Jonathan Correia (04:06):
Our our audience had visceral reactions
to some of the food bits in themovie. So like the seven hot
dogs, someone, someone shoutedlike, what like with the seven
hot dogs bit, which was abeautiful homage to Trevor Moore
and whitest kids, you know,yeah. But for me, it was the
because I'm going to talk aboutthe food in the movie. It was
the whole Campbell Soup thing,yeah, oh, my god, like that.
(04:31):
That was great storytelling ofjust like what the kid was going
through, of showing the sequenceof him struggling to get the
CANS open, dropping them, andthen going to the store and
buying ones with the easy openlike it the the amount of like
character, like development andjust like storytelling of just
(04:52):
this kid in this soup was justphenomenal.
James Jay Edwards (04:55):
And the way that they unfold it it's this is
Zach Cregger, in case youhaven't known the. Who made
barbarian and the way that itunfolds with the different, you
know, telling it from differentpoints of view. It's almost
like, like a Pulp Fiction or aStrange Darling kind of thing,
where it's like, it's better tonot know some of the things he
tells you that happened earlier.
Yeah, but yeah. But the craziestthing about it is, and one of my
(05:19):
critic colleagues had said he'sall, where'd they find the
actress to play?
Jonathan Correia (05:26):
Gladys? Gladys is McCoy from Streets of Fire.
James Jay Edwards (05:33):
I saw her name in the credits, who was Amy
Madigan, and when I looked itup, she is a chameleon in this
movie. By now you, even if youhaven't seen the movie, you've
probably seen pictures of Gladysbecause it's kind of a meme now,
she's like, dyed red hair, thiscrazy looking lady. It's
freaking Amy
Jonathan Correia (05:50):
Madigan. Or, if you have my algorithm, you've
seen at least five or six dragqueens pull off that look
James Jay Edwards (05:56):
recently.
It's a good drag queen look.
Jonathan Correia (05:58):
It's, it's, the new Mia Goth. It's the new
MaXXXine or Pearl is she'siconic, but Amy Madigan deserves
Oscar nominations for this.
She's phenomenal.
James Jay Edwards (06:11):
But because it's a horror movie, they'll
probably snub her, but you'reright, she was amazing.
She was unrecognizable. Yes,totally.
Jonathan Correia (06:19):
There was one point in her performance where
Lindsey and I both looked ateach other and just went, McCoy
Streets of Fire, because we'reobsessed with that movie, and it
took a while for us to recognizeher.
James Jay Edwards (06:30):
I didn't even recognize her, and I saw the
name and the credits, and I wason who was Amy Madigan in this
and then it was only when me andmy friend Josh were discussing
it, you know, about who wasGladys, and I looked it up. I'm
all, holy crap, that's who shewas. Oh my god, so amazing.
Anyway, everybody go seeWeapons. Another thing I saw
that's brand new. It comes outnext week. I don't know if
(06:52):
either you guys have gotten achance. I know they've been
doing preview screenings. Haveyou seen The Long Walk?
Jacob Davidson (06:58):
No, I'm hoping to go to a preview screening at
the arrow next week. But, yeah,no, it's still got some time,
although I really wanted do thatpreview screen where you had to
watch it on a trip treadmill,three miles per hour, and if you
stop, and if you couldn't walkanymore, you would have to leave
the movie and you wouldn't beable to finish.
James Jay Edwards (07:19):
Yeah, that's that's the crux of the movie. It
is. It's sort of like a HungerGames kind of thing, where
America, they take one one kidfrom each state, one boy,
they're all males from eachstate, and they have to walk
until they all are dead. And ifyou fall below three miles an
hour, you get up to threewarnings, and then they shoot
(07:42):
you. And so it's you, these guysall have to walk, and three
miles an hour is, I mean, it'snot super fast, but it's a
pretty good clip. It's notlollygagging, yeah. And so this
movie, it's, it's directed bythe guy who did all the Hunger
Games movies except for thefirst one, and it is written by
(08:03):
Jay T Molnar, who did StrangeDarling. And this guy has a way
with dialog. I mean, you couldtell in Strange Darling, he had
a way with dialog. But thismovie is, I think it sticks
pretty close to the to theStephen King. It kind of
simplifies things, and it alsokind of combines some characters
and leaves out some so, I mean,I haven't read the Stephen King
(08:25):
one in decades, but it kind ofcombines some characters and
leaves out some little, littlethings. But a lot of this movie
is conversations, like the boyswalking and talking about
things, and the conversations,the dialog is really well
written, and then theseconversations will be split up
(08:45):
by just extreme violence in themiddle of this movie. But it's
so that's so well done. It'ssuch i It's not as intense as I
thought it would be, but it'sdefinitely unflinching, like the
violence in this is especiallythe very first kid who fails,
the first one who dies. Like,once it happens, you're kind of
(09:09):
just left there going, wait,they showed that, you know, I
mean, it's like, it's, it'spretty insane. But, yeah, it is.
I was lucky enough to see it wasan early screening, because they
had this discussion afterwardsof the themes of the movie, but,
but next week they start the theactual press and promo
screening. So if either you guysget a chance and it opens on the
(09:30):
12th, which when this posts,it'll be this Friday. So go see
the long walk. Yeah, can't wait.
Jonathan Correia (09:36):
I'll have to watch it at the Cinemark in my
hotel,
James Jay Edwards (09:40):
but, but on a treadmill, though, we'll see set
for three miles an hour.
Jacob Davidson (09:45):
And in terms of other new releases, I assume you
guys saw Together,
James Jay Edwards (09:51):
I have not seen Together, and I'm super
bummed.
Jonathan Correia (09:54):
Yeah, let's, let's unpack that one.
Jacob Davidson (09:58):
Oh boy, oh boy.
Yeah. Uh, yeah, no, together waspretty interesting. Like, it did
kind of feel like, you know,kind of conceptual horror thing,
because it's about toxicrelationship. Like, you got
Allison Bree and Dave Francomoving in together this kind of
rural town, and they've got somerelationship issues, and then
(10:18):
they fall to a cave, and theydrink the weird cave water. And
now they start getting reallytogether, connected, leading to
all the body horror stuff. Yeah,it's,
Jonathan Correia (10:33):
I was really excited for it together, because
it looked like there was a lotof like, you know, body horror
stuff. And it's definitely moreon the Brian Yuzna side of body
horror than it is Cronenberg, toput it in in those type of
perspectives. But my two biggestissues with it is the when it
does the body horror stuff, it'sreally good. The body horror
(10:55):
stuff is great, but it didn'tfeel like there was an
escalation with it. It almostfelt like random ideas of how it
was gonna, how them kind ofcoming together happens, until
the the finale, you were cool,but like it felt a little
disjointed with that. But mybiggest issue is it I didn't
(11:17):
feel the chemistry between thetwo in love. It felt like they
hated each other throughout mostof the movie, and I wish that
they spent more time on therelationship between the two of
them, rather than the kind ofreally ridiculous reason why it
was happening, which it goes, Iwon't spoil a whole lot, but it
(11:40):
goes into, like, a reallyalmost, kind of overly explained
cult thing.
Jacob Davidson (11:46):
And yeah, like, it leans heavy into the full
core.
Jonathan Correia (11:50):
And I mentioned the cult aspect of it
because it's not in thetrailers, but this is how much
it kind of bothered me. You guysknow me, you know, I love pretty
much anything about cults. I'mvery fascinated with the
subject. I have multiple books,so like that would that sounds
like something I would beexcited about, but it kind of
felt like it derailed the thing,because, again, I wanted to know
more, like, Well, were theythese people ever in love?
(12:12):
Because they seem like they hateeach other, right now, it didn't
really feel like, if you'remaking commentary about
codependency and getting in arut, you know, there, it didn't
feel that. But other than, Imean, it was still pretty good.
I There's a few moments where itwas like, I it was really
intense and gross and stuff. Idug it. But also that final shot
(12:34):
bit, I've been making fun of itwith Lindsay ever since. It was
a bit silly, um, but, yeah, Imean, it's fine. I'd recommend
it if it comes to streaming orsomething.
James Jay Edwards (12:47):
But I have a love hate relationship with
neon, because I love theirmovies. I absolutely love their
movies, and I love the packagethey send me at the end of the
year that has their movies init, but they don't screen
anything for press in ourmarket. I mean, the last thing
they screen they screen forpress was Longlegs. So I get so
(13:09):
frustrated and Together as aneon movie. So I have not seen
it. And neon has a couple goodthings coming out, Selby Oaks,
and also Keeper and I, and Iknow that I'm hoping that my
package comes and those are init, so that I actually get to
see them sooner than later. But,yeah, I have not seen together
yet, but it'll be in my neonpackage. Um, did either you guys
(13:31):
see I Know What You Did LastSummer? No, I didn't get to that
the new one. Did you get to aCorreia?
Jonathan Correia (13:37):
No, I was, I I wasn't really a fan of the
franchise. I didn't feel theurge to go,
James Jay Edwards (13:44):
here's the deal. No, no, you, you don't,
don't. It's not that great. Itis. It's essentially a remake of
the first one, which we'vealready gotten that with part
three. Although part three, itwas a copycat, and it was more
supernatural. But this one, infact, it could be a remake,
except the fact that the firstmurders actually exist in this
(14:06):
universe, and there are likeJulie and Ray are in it, Freddie
Prinze and Jennifer Love Hewittand minor spoiler, Sarah
Michelle Gellar is in it too.
It's like a dream
Jonathan Correia (14:18):
sequence. And is it no brandy in the post.
James Jay Edwards (14:22):
It's like a mid credits scene. Yeah, she she
pops up, which kind of leaves itopen for I still know what you
did last summer. I don't knowwhat they're gonna do with
Jonathan Correia (14:33):
that. It's like the only motivation for me
to see it is more brandy,because she rules.
James Jay Edwards (14:39):
When it's being a slasher, it's actually
kind of cool, you know, I mean,it's, it has this, the the
typical, you know, creativekills and stuff, but there's so
much stuff in between that andthe, I don't know if it's the
dialog or the acting, but it'spretty corny in between the
kills. So, yeah. It's nothingthat you really need to rush out
(15:02):
to see. It's one of those thingsthat if you're bored for 90
minutes and it comes on HBO, youknow, it's not a waste of time.
But there's definitely betterthings to to seek out if you're
going to fair. So what else isnew? Have there been a couple
superhero movies? Have you guysseen Superman or Fantastic Four
(15:23):
first
Jacob Davidson (15:23):
steps? Yeah, I saw
James Jay Edwards (15:26):
both. Would you guys? You guys
Jacob Davidson (15:28):
fans? Yeah, I like them both.
James Jay Edwards (15:30):
Here's the question, which did you like
more? Yeah, I like Superman,really. I like fantastic, four
more, I think. And here's myissue with Superman, crypto, was
CG. You guys know, I'm a fan ofanimals and movies. I think
there should be an Oscar forBest animal performance. And
crypto was probably 95% CG. Andgranted, you can't have a flying
(15:53):
dog in but they could have useda real dog for me. But anyway, I
mean, I didn't mind Superman. Iyou know, I did enjoy it. I had
fun with it, but I think I likeFantastic Four more, yeah.
Jacob Davidson (16:06):
I mean, they were both good in their own
ways, and kind of evoking thekind of more out there, Silver
Age ish superhero stylings. Butyeah, they all. They both were
great, and they both had theirpositives,
Jonathan Correia (16:21):
yeah. I mean, Fantastic Four I dug, especially
since there were it did invokesome of the Lovecraftian cosmic
horror of Galactus a bit,because that's one of the main
reasons why I love Galactus, isthat he is this very cosmic
horror character. And I dug alot of it. The problem is I just
saw Superman the night prior toit, and I really love Superman,
(16:45):
and especially after survivingthe Snyder version of Superman,
which did not get understandthat character at all. So to see
Superman's heart and humanity onfull display for the entirety of
the movie is great, not tomention, like, the just the fact
that it handled such heavythemes of, like, all right, if
(17:05):
Superman did exist now and didstep into, you know, wars and
countries and things of thatnature, what would that kind of
Fallout be? Was just so welldone. I mean, and I mean, come
on, Hawkgirl killed a worldleader.
James Jay Edwards (17:21):
Hawk girl was easily dictator. She was easily
my favorite part. She was great.
Um I Nathan, fillions, GreenLantern bug, the crap out of me,
but
Jonathan Correia (17:33):
that's the point of guy. Guardian, no, he
is annoying. Mr.
James Jay Edwards (17:38):
Terrific.
Love him. Oh yeah, so good. Iloved everything except his
name, Mr. Terrific. Come on,
Jacob Davidson (17:44):
that's, but, yeah, that's his name in the
comics. Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (17:47):
you can't change
Jonathan Correia (17:48):
that. But Mr.
Terrific, so cool, because he'sjust so stoic and like and he's
Everything about him is sologic, but he has such style and
flair, and he but he doesn'tlose that, like Mr. Spock, logic
at all. But even, like thatwhole sequence with the orbs,
and he's taking them all out,just style and flair, and
James Jay Edwards (18:09):
he's terrific, yeah, it but Hawkgirl
just flying around. Ah, I mean,she was amazing. She was
awesome.
Jonathan Correia (18:17):
People were complaining about that. It's
like, that's how she is in thecomics? Yeah, no, no. She was,
she was awesome. That actressrules. She was great in Last of
Us as well.
Jacob Davidson (18:26):
Yeah, and I gotta say, David Corenswet, he's
an amazing Superman, like, hefelt very genuine.
James Jay Edwards (18:35):
He's, he's the best Superman, I think,
since Christopher Reeve, like, Imean, you know, this is
including all of the freaking TVones, but yeah, he's, he's,
yeah, he was great.
Jacob Davidson (18:47):
He gave an emotional performance, while
also doing a lot of greatsuperhero fights.
Jonathan Correia (18:53):
Yeah, and I think it helps that, like the
script was really good as well,because Henry cavityville was a
good Superman and Clark, but Ijust think that the direction of
the of the scripts and where itwas going with it, it didn't
again. It wasn't, it was it wastrying too hard to make Superman
cool and edgy. And that's thewhole point of Superman, is that
he's not, he's, he's got agenuinely good heart and stuff
(19:18):
and like, it's, it's, that's thething that you, you almost feel
like you got to protect him,even though he's our Protector.
It's great, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (19:26):
All the, all the people who were like, oh,
Superman went woke. It's like,did you just wake up yourself?
Superman has always beenfreaking woke. He, yeah, he.
People, the
Jonathan Correia (19:39):
bad reads on on this and others, has been
insane to watch.
James Jay Edwards (19:44):
Well, speaking of woke have either
guys seen Eddington?
Jacob Davidson (19:48):
Oh yeah, I saw Eddington. Might be my second
favorite Ari Aster movie now.
James Jay Edwards (19:54):
Well, there's only been four what is, what's
your favorite? Hereditary?
Hereditary? Yeah, right. Sure?
Yeah, I think that this. I thinkI like Midsommar and Hereditary
more than this, but this isdefinitely better than Bo is
afraid. But I'm an area Astrafanboy, so I like them all. This
one is, what's so funny aboutEddington, is it kind at first
when it, when it was startingup, I'm like, oh, here, here it
(20:17):
goes. We're looking, you know,we're going full Maga here, but
then he's kind of making fun ofboth sides, like he has BLM
protesters in it who are kindof, who are kind of looking like
fools. And then, of course,Joaquin Phoenix, sheriff, who
is, you know, anti Vax, antimask. He's looking like a fool.
He's almost making fun ofeverybody. I saw the perfect
(20:39):
poster for Eddington, it was atin foil cowboy hat.
Jacob Davidson (20:44):
Well, I wouldn't say he's even really doing kind
of a both sides thing, as muchas he's showing that a lot of
people are are using politics tokind of cover up for their own
personal neuroses and andfailings, like the whole thing
with Joaquin Phoenix's characteris, just like a lot of his
(21:06):
politics, is just stemming fromhis own insecurities, like the
whole thing with his wife andlike hit masculinity issues and
just a lot of Different kind ofpersonal failings leading them
to really bad politics. But Ithink probably my favorite part
was the No Country for Old Menask, like, ridiculous shootout
(21:32):
in the town at night, likeJoaquin Phoenix is just like
tumbling and falling for athing, and he pulls out like a
chain gun from the gun store,and, well, he's being chased by
this dude. And it just does havea lot of funny moments, like,
like the Triumph music. When hemakes his campaign card, he's
got all those stupid slogans, alot of them misspelled on the on
(21:55):
the card, like you're there,you're being lied to. Why? Oh,
you are,
James Jay Edwards (22:01):
yeah? 824 put out a post that's that had that
you're being lied to with, like,some something about Eddington
on there, and people weretotally correcting them. It's
like all, dude, tell me youhaven't seen the movie without
telling me you haven't seen,
Jacob Davidson (22:13):
yeah,
James Jay Edwards (22:14):
yeah. It was,
Jonathan Correia (22:16):
did they also have a data center that was
named after, like that.
Jacob Davidson (22:20):
Me, yeah, it was shining golden magic. Carp,
there you go. Yeah, fromPokemon.
Jonathan Correia (22:24):
I saw that and that that made me go. Maybe I do
need to see this. My issue islockdown sucked that that era,
and I'm not the most motivatedto go is to a movie theater and
re experience a lot of that. Sothat's why I didn't see it in
theaters. Yeah, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (22:42):
I mean, it is it. Parts of it are gonna
infuriate you just because it'sgonna it, you know, to use a
freaking right wing buzzword,it's, it'll trigger you, but
there are other parts of it thatyou're gonna actually relate to.
And it is it, yeah, it's, Imean, Ari Aster, it does go off
(23:04):
the rails in the perfect areaway at the end. Like, you know
what Jacob was alluding to, itis it goes crazy in the best
way. I mean, I think it wasawesome,
Jonathan Correia (23:17):
nice. Well, I've been, I haven't been seeing
a lot of movies because I'vebeen absolutely killing it on my
summer reading challenge. Sohope you guys ready for Correias
Book Nook. I spent most of thesummer finishing up a lot of
series that I started and neverfinished. I read all of
Invincible, Preacher and theWalking Dead, which i i stopped
(23:40):
at walk walking dead at thewrong point, because shortly
after where I stopped it, itstarted making a case for post
scarcity society. And y'all knowme as a Star Trek fan, I'm all
about that, so highly recommendthose. But once I want to
highlight there's one bookcalled The All-Nighter. It was a
Comixology exclusive, but theyhave a few trades out now, and
(24:02):
it's about these vampires. Andthey get kind of bored. They run
an all night diner, and so twoof them go out and pretend to be
superheroes. And it's a reallyinteresting story, because how
they explain why vampires existis because there's a fantasy
element. And I only read thefirst trade. I just got volume
(24:23):
two and three and so, butthey're hinting that there's
like, something to do with, likefantasy magic stuff going but
it's a really interesting story.
It got recommended to me by thesame person who said, Hey, do
you like Sinners? Read thesecomics. This was on that list
along with so it's bipocFocused. Bipoc written, but
All-Nighter is pretty fun. Butfrom that list, was also Bitter
(24:46):
Root. And if you've been talkingto me at all this year, I will,
I probably shouted at you aboutBitter Root, which is absolutely
phenomenal. That's it'sLovecraft Country meets
Ghostbusters set in. Uh. The,you know, the Harlem heights
era. And that one's phenomenal.
And they just came out with thesequel series, Bitter Root: The
(25:08):
Next Movement, which justfinished its run, which takes
place in the 60s and has that,like 60s, retro futuristic look
like Fantastic (25:16):
Four First Steps, but continues the story
of like, how hatred and racismturns people into these beings
called like jinoo. But nextmovement takes it a step further
and goes even more Lovecraftian.
It's it's such a great read, andthey always include amazing
essays at the end of each comic.
(25:37):
Another one that I would highlyrecommend is a mute The
Amusement Park. So Sandy KingJohn Carpenter's comic book
company with with Sandy put outa comic book adaptation of
George A Romero's The AmusementPark, the film that was on earth
(25:58):
a few years ago. If you like themovie, I highly recommend the
comic. The artwork isincredible. They expand on a lot
of the themes that are in themovie. Because, of course,
there's some limitations, asGeorge A. Romero made this as
like a PSA, and it was funded bya church and whatnot. So it was
cool seeing them, like, expandout on some of those themes, of
like, taking care of the elderlyand what it's like going through
(26:21):
all that. And the last of mycomics I'll recommend is
Exorcism at 1600 Penn. I juststarted reading the trade for
that. I'm like an issue in andit's all I'm already
recommending it to everybody.
It's phenomenal. If you're a fanof the of the of Exorcist the
series, yeah, I'm being thatfucking specific right now. The
(26:43):
series, exorcist series, and howthey with the show, they did a
really good job of showing theseduction, or, like, what led to
the possession beforehand.
Exorcism at 1600 Penn. It's likeexorcist the series meets Chucky
season three, I'd want to say,well, because, you know, group
(27:04):
crazy horror stuff in the WhiteHouse. Yeah, it's really
interesting. It's really coolseeing like the demon in the
background and all that. And,yeah, it's a really fun read.
And I've read all these onHoopla, so if you have a library
and they have Hoopla, I highlyrecommend it. It's a great
resource to be reading comics onthe cheap and testing them out.
Jacob Davidson (27:27):
Yeah, yep.
Speaking of comics, while I wason the East Coast, I actually
picked up a couple of Dark Horsestarted doing a bunch of EC
comics archives releases onpaperback. So they're pretty
cheap. Like they got wholevolumes that are a couple 100
pages and a few issues for only,like 20 bucks each. So I got,
(27:48):
like an old tales from the Igot, like Tales from the Crypt
and Vault of Horror. And it isso funny reading the original
comics after being such a bigfan of the tales for the Crip TV
show for so long because, youknow, drew on all that the Tales
From the Crypt, Vault of Horror,Haunt of Fear, and they are,
actually, are very well writtenand very funny and ghoulish, and
(28:11):
it's, and it, yeah, I got someof the issues that had been
adapted, like, I forget thename, but the one with Joe Pesci
and the twins that that was oneof the issues I got. But also,
there's some really crazystories that never got adapted,
(28:33):
but I think would have been fun,like the let's see this one
where it's like a game show, andyou fake the contestants of
vampire, but it turns out thepeople running the game show are
vampires that they eat the guy.
So there's a lot of funny stuffto it.
Jonathan Correia (28:51):
I've been collecting those too. I have all
of the trades for Tales, Hauntof, and Vault, and they just
started putting out, because ECwas revived recently, and they
just started putting out thetrades for those. So if you like
that, I recommend Yeah,epitaphs, of of, of evil. I
believe it's called
Jacob Davidson (29:11):
Yeah, something
Jonathan Correia (29:12):
like that.
It's, it's, it's a lot of funand really good. It's, it's in
that style, but with, likemodern, you know, Epitaphs From
the Abyss, my apologies,
Jacob Davidson (29:21):
yes, yes. It's a fun read, and they've got a sci
fi one too, like weird tales. Ithink it was like a Abyss of
Horror or something like that.
Yeah, yeah. It's cool that hesees back and with new artists
and writers and stories, but itis funny to revisit the
originals. And you know, ifthere hadn't been such a
(29:42):
crackdown on horror comics backin the day, it does make you
wonder how the art form couldhave evolved.
James Jay Edwards (29:50):
Have you guys seen this movie? I think it's on
Hulu called Borderline.
Jacob Davidson (29:53):
Uh, yes, I actually saw it theatrically. It
had a limited run at AlamoDrafthouse.
James Jay Edwards (29:58):
Yeah, this is, it's. Samara Weaving, and
she plays a kind of like aMadonna, yeah, yeah, although
Madonna exists in her universe,so she's not Madonna, but she's
kind of like this, this pop starwho kind of burns through
romantic partners. But there'salso this fan who's just
(30:19):
obsessed with her, who whobasically wants to marry her,
has has set up a wedding forthem. So it's kind of like a
crazy stalker story, but
Jacob Davidson (30:31):
then that it turns into Alone in the Dark,
because then he busts out of anasylum with two other patients
to, like, do a home invasion andhold her hostage,
James Jay Edwards (30:42):
yep, so it, but it, yeah, it's another
Samara weaving covered in bloodmovie that, you know, we love so
much. It's his own sub genre.
Jonathan Correia (30:50):
Love Samara weaving,
Jacob Davidson (30:52):
uh, yeah, she was great. And also Ray
Nicholson, son of JackNicholson, plays the stalker
guy, uh, Paul and he and hedoes, you know, he looks so much
like his dad, so that when hedoes kind of go crazy, he does
kind of evoke Jack in theshining, although I also have to
(31:16):
say I was a Big fan of AlbaBaptista, who played the French
asylum patient who escaped, whoescapes with Ray Nicholson,
because she's like, just ascrazy, and she's kidding. She's
got this whole French theme toher. So she was very quirky.
James Jay Edwards (31:36):
Ray Nicholson, whose face was all
over the promotional materialsfor smile too. And he was in the
movie for about, you know, 20seconds, yeah.
Jacob Davidson (31:45):
And he was the bad guy in Novocaine, yeah,
James Jay Edwards (31:50):
Hey, speaking of Novocaine, although not
really, speaking of Novocaine,but similar style. Did you guys
see Nobody 2?
Jacob Davidson (31:58):
I did. I thought it was a lot of fun.
James Jay Edwards (32:01):
I loved it. I thought it was totally did you
see it?
Jonathan Correia (32:04):
Correia, let me tell you, there's 16 volumes
of The Walking Dead, which iscomprised of two trades. When I
tell you I spent my summerreading, I genuinely spend my
summer reading,
James Jay Edwards (32:17):
well, nobody too, basically, is Bob Oden
Kirk's character from nobody,and he's on vacation, and, of
course, he goes to a place onvacation that is ripe with
criminals and corruption, and hebasically gets into trouble the
same way he did in in Nobody.
But yeah, it's just, it's, it'sa lot of fun, and it's a lot of,
(32:39):
you know, ass kicking and,
Jacob Davidson (32:44):
yeah, it's National Lampoon's Vacation
turning into John
James Jay Edwards (32:46):
Wick, yeah, yeah, it pretty much is, but
yeah, yeah. And it's directed
Jacob Davidson (32:51):
by Timo, Oh, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (32:54):
Timo jonto, yeah. I don't know how to say
the name, but he did the one ofeverybody's favorite VHS
segments,
Jacob Davidson (33:03):
yeah, Timo to hunt. Oh yeah, no, he did VHS
two and VHS 94 and he also didsome really great action movies
on Netflix, like the Night Comesfor Us, The Shadow Strays, The
Big Four. So, like, this is aguy who knows how to do his
action with ample gore. So yougot people getting blown up and
(33:24):
impaled in like traps. And I dolove that Bob Odenkirk gets to
use an old fashioned tommy gunfor a scene. And also Sharon
Stone is the main villain, andshe just goes full ham like she
is crazy.
James Jay Edwards (33:39):
I didn't realize it was Sharon Stone. It
was another Amy Madigan moment,because I saw it all Sharon
Stone. I'm like, oh, was she themate? Because you're right,
she's totally, she's having somuch fun with this, this role,
and she's not, not really unreNot as unrecognizable as Amy
Madigan, but she but it was kindof a surprise to see that it was
Jonathan Correia (34:00):
Sharon Stone.
And does she get to do someaction bits? Because she can
Jacob Davidson (34:03):
do Yeah, yeah, you stab peoples in the face.
Yo, yeah, yeah,
Jonathan Correia (34:07):
making me want to watch The Quick and The Dead
again. But the director ofnobody too, is doing beekeeper
too as
Jacob Davidson (34:14):
well. Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard about that.
James Jay Edwards (34:17):
Yes, they're making a Beekeeper 2, because
The Working Man was not aworking man. Was not the
Beekeeper 2 that I wanted. Itdidn't work. Have either you
guys seen Dangerous Animals?
Jacob Davidson (34:29):
Yes, I did see that. I was actually at the big
screening they did at theEgyptian theater on my birthday.
James Jay Edwards (34:35):
I finally caught up to that, because IFC
sent out their FYC screeners forthe year. Dangerous Animals is a
crazy movie. It's basically thisserial killer, which is Jay
Courtney and um, his his way ofkilling people is using sharks.
He takes him out on his boat andhe dangles them above the water
(34:56):
while he chums the water forsharks. And if. It's, it's
pretty crazy. And it goes placeslike, I mean, I don't want to
spoil anything, but it goes tosome Moby Dick places that are
pretty awesome.
Jacob Davidson (35:09):
Yeah. Also, this might be one of my favorite Jay
Courtney performances, becausehe gets to be very hammy and
Australian, yeah. Like, he's nothiding the accent.
James Jay Edwards (35:18):
Is he Australian? Like in real life.
Okay, cool. He is genuinelyAustralian. He's one of those
like Charlie Hunnam. I got soused to seeing him in Sons of
Anarchy that when I see him likein interviews and he's British,
I'm like, What the hell is Jaxteller doing speaking with the
accent?
Jonathan Correia (35:36):
I'm the opposite with him. I'm like, why
is the British exchange studentfrom undeclared speaking with an
American accent, watching sons.
Jacob Davidson (35:44):
And did any of you guys see the New Toxic
Avenger?
Jonathan Correia (35:48):
No, listen, there's a there's a lot of
issues of Invincible. And I, Ihad a lot of reading to
James Jay Edwards (35:56):
do with me.
It was my social anxiety,because the press screenings
were during Comic Con, and theywere at theaters next to Comic
Con, and I was like, yeah, no,I'm not going down there. So,
yeah, I missed it.
Jonathan Correia (36:08):
That was, that was me with highest to lowest.
Like, I glad Lemley was showingit, because I was like, I'm not
going to downtown. I'm sorry.
Jacob Davidson (36:15):
Like, well, yeah, no, the dude, Toxic
Avenger movie by Maken Blair isfinally out. And it's so funny
because, like, I saw it almosttwo years ago at Beyond Fest,
and it was, you know, just sucha big event. Like, they decked
out the arrow theater our, ourwater was green for a while
because they dyed it and that,you know,
James Jay Edwards (36:37):
for a while after the screening, like, for
like, weeks after,
Jacob Davidson (36:42):
yeah, no, there was green slime everywhere. I'm
kidding. I'm kidding. But no,what I'm trying to say is that,
you know, they just made such abig event of the Toxic Avenger
festival screenings. It suckedthat, you know, they shelved it
for a couple years because,like, I had such a blast, and it
was such a fun time. Butthankfully, cineverse, and, you
(37:07):
know, the team behind it, put itout, and I and they did, they
didn't really change it thatmuch from the the version I saw
at beyond fest, except, I thinkthey extended the credit seek,
or the credits tag sequence. Soif you want to learn how to make
an authentic Toxic Avengergrilled cheese sandwich, I
(37:27):
recommend staying for after thecredits. But no, it's such a fun
movie. I mean, I really lovePeter Dinklage, and this gave
him the chance to do somethingvery different from what people
are used to seeing him do. Plus,you got Kevin Bacon and Elijah
Wood as bad guys and very weirdand kind of can't be bad guys
like Elijah woods a hunchbackwho's managing a monster core
(37:53):
band, and Kevin Bacon is adickhead CEO obsessed with
health who's like injectinggorilla blood into himself. And,
you know, example, Gore, itreally is evocative of kind of
the style of trauma and theoriginal Toxic Avenger movie,
but also strangely timely,because much like trauma, which,
(38:15):
despite its usual absurd andline crossing gore and
weirdness, there is someemotional core to it and socio
political messaging, because,like, Peter Dinklage is a single
dad trying to take care of hisson and the Yeah, I mean, it has
(38:39):
all the kind of anti corporatemessaging because, like, it's
Kevin Bacon's evil companythat's polluting the environment
and make everybody sick. And thefunniest part to me was that
there was a sequence where theseproud boy type guys, the nasty
lads, took over our restaurant,fast food restaurant, which was
(39:02):
called Mr. Meat, but was changedto miss meat because they were
so mad about the name, and Ijust couldn't stop thinking
about, like, the whole CrackerBarrel of controversy that made
all these right wing dudes sopissed off, so toxic. Adventure
really is a topical, uh, movieand a hero for our time. And one
of the best promotional, uh, seethings they ever did, and they
did was that they bought andtook care of over $5 million of
(39:27):
medical debt, and with theirincreasing box office, they're
they're helping to eliminatemore medical debt.
James Jay Edwards (39:35):
Correia kind of alluded to it, but let's talk
about a couple of not reallyhorror movies, but crime movies
from auteurs. Let's go tohighest to lowest. First, the
new Spike Lee joint.
Jonathan Correia (39:45):
Don't even get me started this movie.
James Jay Edwards (39:48):
It's almost like two movies. And honestly,
there's basically DenzelWashington dealing with being
this, not really washed up, butthis struggling music. Yeah.
Mogul, and then there's thiskidnapping side of it. And
honestly, the Denzel Washingtonmusic mobile part was more
(40:08):
interesting than the kidnappingpart. I was a little
disappointed in the crimeaspect. And then the movie
itself becomes a freaking musicvideo towards the end, and
you're like, Oh wow, come on.
Yeah because, oh yeah, becauseAesop Rocky is in it. And you're
like, I loved it. The thingabout the kidnapping one is it's
all so far fetched. And you'relike, ah, yeah, I don't know,
but, but the Denzel Washington,and here's the thing, Jeffrey
(40:31):
Wright is in it. He kind ofplays this ex con who's Denzel
Washington's right hand man. Andfor someone to be able to out
act Denzel Washington. Thattakes some talent, but Jeffrey
Wright did it. He, he isincredible in this so that,
yeah,
Jonathan Correia (40:48):
both of them, yeah, I gotta, I gotta say
something about Highest 2Lowest, because I absolutely
fucking loved it. I fought tofind a screening, which was
insane, because I live in LosAngeles. You think that they
would have more than fourfucking theaters showing it, one
of which was only doing 10pmshowings, and two the other two
were downtown. But I'm so glad Isought it out, because the
(41:10):
crowds energy was incredible.
With it, all the jokes landed,and I loved it, because the
setup is a kidnapping movie, butit's not about the kidnapping
and and so I can understand whythere's a bit of a disconnect.
But Spike really took theopportunity to really talk
about, like, where art andentertainment is right now. I
thought you were
James Jay Edwards (41:31):
going to say he took the opportunity to bash
Boston.
Jonathan Correia (41:34):
Oh, did he ever like, if you walk out of
Highest 2 Lowest, you knowexactly where spike stands on AI
and Boston sports, and the truthis, he fucking hates both of
them. There's, there's an entiresequence where they during the
chase, where they enter in atrain full of New York fans, and
they're just chanting, fuckBoston. Fuck Boston. Fuck. To
(41:58):
the point where, where the actorgets, like, into a face, close
up, and is staring down thebarrel of the lens screaming,
fuck Boston. It's great.
Jacob Davidson (42:06):
Wow. I didn't see the movie, but there was an
interview that Spike Lee did inCentral Park, and he saw a guy
wearing a red sox hat go by. Islike, Hey, fuck the sox. Like he
just stopped the interview. Thatguy. He hates Red Sox,
Jonathan Correia (42:21):
yeah, he's a huge Knicks fan, but it's but
it's really masterful, and it'scritique and dwellings on where
entertainment is right now,especially as a business, as an
industry. And nothingencapsulates that more than the
end credits. Song is samples anduses this 1970s Italian song
(42:44):
where the guy wrote, basically,in Italy, Italian artists were
struggling to get on the chartsbecause English songs were much
more popular or American songs.
So he wrote a song that wascomplete gibberish, but sounded
like he was speaking English,and I think them using that and
putting it was the singer that'salso featured at the end of the
(43:05):
movie. She's singing over it,just that overlay, I thought
was, was a perfect, likeencapsulation of the themes of
the film. And so, yes, if you'relooking for, like, another crime
thriller, this isn't that. Ituses a lot of that to tell its
story, but I think it'smasterful. Even the chase
sequence was, there's a lot ofchoices where it's like anyone
(43:26):
else would have done this in avery stereotypical, like high
energy way, and Spike was muchmore. Did it in a very different
manner. I don't want to say itwas slow or or anything like
that. It just wasn't like highenergy in that sense. And it
kind of made me even morenervous because of that, because
it's like, Why? Why isn't thismoving along like it would?
(43:46):
There was a lot of veryinteresting takes, and the
distribution of it, I think, hasbeen trash, because they're
barely putting it in theaters,barely pushing it, and it is
going to Apple TV, plustomorrow. But, I mean, come on.
I was
James Jay Edwards (44:04):
gonna say this is one of those, A24
straight to Apple so whichactually, now they think about
it that the Tragedy of Macbethalso with Denzel, but the
tragedy of death is starting tohit other platforms. So I don't
know if it was a limited Applecontract or whatever, but, but
also these cinematic autuermovies, Darren Aronofsky is
(44:26):
Caught Stealing. You guys seenthis?
Jonathan Correia (44:29):
No, I haven't seen that yet, nope, but I saw
the red carpet footage of thecat showing Okay,
James Jay Edwards (44:34):
the cat is okay. Here's, here's the deal
with Caught Stealing. It's yourtypical crime drama. It's
nothing special on the Aronofskyscale. It's actually kind of mid
to low. It's better than Noah,but it's not The Wrestler, um,
but that cat is amazing. It'sthe same cat. His name is tonic.
It's the same captain. The PetSemetery remake,
Jonathan Correia (44:55):
best part of that movie, too. Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (44:58):
yeah, he was.
But. It's funny because, like,because, like, you said, Austin
Butler and Zoe Kravitz isamazing in this, in this movie,
Austin Butler's okay, but Idon't think they gave him a
whole lot to work with. ZoeKravitz is easily the emotional
core of the movie. But, um,they'll be doing their red
carpet interviews and stuff, andthey'll put this cat in this car
(45:19):
and, and someone is controllingthe car, obviously, but it, but
the car, the cat will drive upinto the middle of this
interview in this car, but,yeah, that cat, but Caught
Stealing it's, I mean, it's yourpretty typical, you know, this
guy's, he's speaking, we weretalking about Amy Madigan,
unrecognizable. He Austin Butlergets caught between the Russian
(45:43):
mob and these Hasidic criminalsis just kind of what is the
these? They're in the guy'sphone as the Hebrews, and it's
leave Schreiber and VincentD'Onofrio, and they both have
these huge beards. They're justchameleonic. And it's kind of
hilarious, because these guys,you know, they'll like, go home
(46:04):
to their bubby, and they'll talkand stuff, and then they'll go
out and they'll rip people'seyes out with a spoon. It's,
it's pretty crazy that what hegets in between, and his Matt
Smith plays his his punkneighbor, who's, who's the owner
of the cat, but he ends upthat's the whole thing. Is like
(46:27):
his neighbors, like, take careof my cat while I'm in England.
And of course, there's more thanjust the cat that he has taken
care of, because all this othershit happens. But it is on the
Aronofsky scale. I think it saysmore about Aronofsky movies than
it does this movie, because thisis not a bad movie, but it's not
one of Aronofsky best. It's alittle too typical for
(46:47):
Aronofsky, I think is, is theissue. But, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (46:51):
it seemed like he was doing kind of a crime
caper type of movie. He very
James Jay Edwards (46:55):
much, and he didn't write it. It's, uh, based
on a novel, and the the novelistadapted his own screenplay, so
that might have had something todo with why it's a little it's a
little too typical, becauseAronofsky didn't, you know, he
didn't have complete he's takensomeone else's script. But
let's, let's wrap things uphere. But I think let's wrap
(47:16):
things up here. Correia with aknown caller
Jonathan Correia (47:19):
dog. No, I shouldn't have told you I
watched a Netflix True Crimething, because I know, I knew
you were going to want to talkabout, well, at least we're not
talking about Train Wreck.
James Jay Edwards (47:27):
Hey, yeah, I oh yeah, no, I avoided all the
train wreck that I've watchedbecause there have been, they're
putting out one of those everyweek, it seems um, but those
ones, the blue boy one is cool,though, but the rest of them are
um, but no UNKNOWN CALLER this.
It basically this. It's this.
It's a convoluted story, butbasically this girl started
(47:49):
getting texts from an unknowncaller that was like, not really
threatening, but like, talkingcrap about her, about her
boyfriend, saying things like,You're so ugly, your boyfriend's
gonna leave you for me that allthis stuff, and they're trying
to find out who is sending herthese messages, and it goes to
some really weird places, and itkind of reveals who's sending
(48:13):
these messages. Kind of earlyfor me, in fact, so early that I
actually thought I'm all this,can't be this, this can't be the
end of this. But it was, well,
Jonathan Correia (48:23):
it's, it's, it's weird because, like, it's
basically, it's this teenagegirl, and it happened in like,
2020, so it was, like, a recentthing, but it was this, like, 13
year old girl and her boyfriend,and it was always in group chats
between the two of them. And itwas all this shit talking of,
like, your boyfriend's gonnaleave me, because I put out much
more explicit than that. Butlike, it starts off as like
this, like, it seems likethey're trying to break them up,
(48:44):
but then it, like, it stops forlike, six or eight months, and
then comes back and for like, ayear and a half, it's like, 40
or 50 texts a day at somepoints, and it's
James Jay Edwards (48:55):
at one point they did break up, and he starts
seeing another girl, and thatgirl's mom starts getting texts.
Yeah, so, so, I mean, it goesway further than just this group
chat. Like, it almost seems likeit's clearly someone in their
inner circle that's doing this,who has, you know, knowledge of
where these two kids are andwhere they go
Jonathan Correia (49:15):
and and they do reveal who it is decently
early. But, and it's becausethere's a lot to unpack with who
it turns out to be. We're tryingnot to spoil it right now, but
there's a lot to unpack. And Ithink my only it was something I
watch while doing other stuff,but, like, my biggest
disappointment with it was justthe fact that, like, I don't
know, there was so much tounpack with it, and it felt like
(49:37):
there was, there's no realcatharsis on, like, why they did
it. There's no I wish, I wish. Iwish more time had had lapsed so
that we could see, like, more ofthe ongoing effects I do really
like, because there's pointswhere, with the texting, where
they implicate other students,and so there's other. It's not
(50:00):
just these two kids who arebeing massively traumatized by
this, because, again, whenyou're getting 40 to 50 texts a
day and they're saying you're ananorexic bitch and you should
kill yourself, like, that'sgonna take a toll on you. But
like, it also shows that, like,with the implication that it
might have been this otherperson in the class, like, that
person's life was affected,these families lives were
(50:20):
affected. So I'm, I'm glad thatthey did interview all these
people and showed that it wasmore than just two but I don't
know it. I wish we were a fewmore years out, because then you
could see the longer effect ofit. Maybe if they do a revisit
in like, a few years, I'llprobably watch it. But, like,
it's pretty insane, because youthink like cyber bullying, cyber
(50:43):
stalking, things of that nature,it's still relatively new, but
also not in our society. And Ido respect the fact that they go
into how this has realramifications in the real world
on people,
James Jay Edwards (50:57):
and not just for the people who are getting
the like like you said, theperson doing it pointed the
finger at other people, and mayand planted clues to make it
look like these other people aredoing it to throw the trail off
themselves. So, you know, thereare people going around the
school saying, Oh, this girltotally is doing all this, and
(51:18):
it ruined her life, too. Yeah.
And, you know, and, and by theend, you know, everybody knows
this girl didn't do it, but sowhat she's already branded, you
know, it, yeah, it's and,
Jonathan Correia (51:31):
of course. And of course, the cops didn't do,
oh, the cops due diligence. Iloved when the parents of, like,
one of the kids that was blamed,they were like, Yeah, we told
them to investigate that person,but they didn't. It took, like,
the FBI having to get searchwarrants from these third party
apps and stuff to go and it'slike, Y'all couldn't have done
(51:51):
that from the fucking beginning.
You couldn't have asked thosepeople for their fucking phones
from the
James Jay Edwards (51:56):
beginning.
Like, you know, you could havesolved this two years ago,
right?
Jonathan Correia (52:00):
But it's but it's also pretty insane, because
they have the the camera footagefrom the body cams of the cops
when they go to confront theperson, and that scene goes on
for a long and it's veryuncomfortable. There's a lot,
there's a lot of revelations andrealizations happening in real
time. And it is, it is rough.
James Jay Edwards (52:22):
That is, it's uncomfortable. It is, yeah, it
is that, that one's tough.
Jonathan Correia (52:26):
So it's, it's, I mean, it's your typical
Netflix True Crime doc, it, butit's, it's, it's interesting. I
was interested in it becausemost of the time when people
were like, You should watch thistrue crime doc, it's like, Oh,
great. Let's watch anotherserial killer thing. Let's watch
another murder thing. So I wasinterested in the cyber
bullying, cyber stalking aspectof it. So all
James Jay Edwards (52:44):
right, cool.
Well, sorry, we missed like twomonths. I won't even say we
missed a couple episodes. Wemissed a couple months, but you
guys were treated to our end ofsummer catch up here. And
supposedly, I'm not gonna makeany promises, but we have some
interviews coming up, right?
Correia, yeah, we
Jonathan Correia (53:01):
have some cool stuff. Sorry for getting way too
into my summer readingchallenge, but just know that I
dominated that shit. I put allthose kids to shame with the
amount of pages I read. Let metell
Jacob Davidson (53:12):

James Jay Edwards (53:16):
and I was too busy watching train wreck about,
you know, the American Apparelcult and the PI moms and
whatever, but we, but hopefully,I won't even promise, and we'll
be more regular, but we're goingto try. But yeah, if you like
the sound of our voices, youwere cool here. So let's, let's

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
