and with me, as always, is yourother host. Jacob Davison, how
you doing? Jacob,
Jacob Davidson (00:41):
not amazing.
Been a rough week.
James Jay Edwards (00:45):
I don't think any of us are doing amazing.
It's, yeah, it's, it's rough.
But we don't want to go intothat, because, you know, we're
just the liberal left Grifters.
Uh, also with us, as always, isyour other other host, Jon
Correia, how you doing Correia?
As if I need to ask,
Jonathan Correia (01:03):
I was about to say, we don't get those comments
anymore of our thought this wasa horror podcast because I
think, I think we drove them allaway. But it's fine. We also
Jacob Davidson (01:11):
don't want to worry about
James Jay Edwards (01:13):
well, we also may have toned down the liberal
grifting.
Jonathan Correia (01:18):
Listen and my politics are the same as Divine.
My politics are filth. Killeveryone now. No, not really.
Yeah, doing great on justgenuine. I know our topic today
is Halloween hangover, but I'mgenuinely feeling hung over from
Halloween, even though I don'tdrink anymore. So that's fun.
Jacob Davidson (01:38):
Hey, you
James Jay Edwards (01:39):
don't drink anymore. I didn't know that you
hopped on the wagon.
Jonathan Correia (01:42):
I mean, like, I it's, it's gone, it's, it's
just kind of like, let it go.
You know, I used to binge drinkin my 20s and teens and all that
stuff. And then was like, Idon't want to binge drink
anymore. And then, like, it'sless and less. So it's like,
once every few months, maybe,but like, for the most part, not
James Jay Edwards (02:00):
really good on you. I'm at almost 12 and a
half years.
Jonathan Correia (02:03):
It's definitely not a, not a quit
situation. It's just a, what'sit? I don't know, but congrats
on the 12 years, bud.
James Jay Edwards (02:10):
That's fun.
Oh, it was, yeah, that was backin August, but so not quite 12
and a half years, but a longtime. Yeah. Fuck yeah, bud.
Anyway, what you guys
Jacob Davidson (02:19):
been doing?
Well, I celebrated Halloween ina pretty fun way. I went to the
VISTA theater video archive, youknow, kind of the little side
theater outside of the or insideof the VISTA, and they did a
Halloween triple mystery featurewhere they played like three
movies on VHS that we didn'tknow what we were gonna get and
(02:39):
it was HauntedWeen, Jack-O andHack-O-Lantern all on VHS,
James Jay Edwards (02:49):
wait, what's the first one HauntedWeen?
Jacob Davidson (02:51):
HauntedWeen. It was a regional horror, regional
Halloween, horror movie fromKentucky. I've
James Jay Edwards (02:57):
seen Jack-O and Hack-O-Lantern, but I don't
know that I've ever heard ofHaunted, HauntedWeen.
Jacob Davidson (03:04):
Is that wean haunted? HauntedWeen
James Jay Edwards (03:07):
What is? What is that telling us? I'm
interested in that I've seen theother two, but yeah, it's
Jacob Davidson (03:11):
about this old is about this fraternity that's
running low on money. So decideto renovate this old mansion on
the outskirts of town into aHalloween Haunt fundraiser. And
it's the same place where, like,this guy killed somebody during
the last time somebody did ahaunt there. And of course, the
(03:33):
guy comes back to start killingpeople in the haunt. It was a
lot of fun, though. I'm a bigfan of regional horror movies
with a lot of heart and is funsetup, and it even had its own
rock and roll theme song.
James Jay Edwards (03:49):
What? What year is it from?
Jacob Davidson (03:51):
I think 1992
James Jay Edwards (03:54):
Okay, so, so from early 90s. Okay, cool. 9191
so about the same time as theother two then,
Jacob Davidson (04:02):
yeah, like late 80s, early 90s, yeah and yeah.
Jacko is such a bizarre movie,basically being kind of like a
pumpkin head slasher thing. AndI love Hack-O-Lantern,
especially because it's gotGregory Scott Cummins, aka Mac's
dad from always SonyPhiladelphia and high pike as
(04:23):
the satanic grandpa who's alwayshamming it up and saying stuff
like, the power is in the blood
Jonathan Correia (04:29):
Jesus. I have never seen any of these movies,
but that sounds amazing. Justyoung Mac's Dad as a satanist,
yeah,
James Jay Edwards (04:38):
when I used to do my cinema Fear Day column
for film factor. I used everyHalloween I used to try to find
a Halloween Horror movie to do,and after you do it for long
enough, you start scraping theHack-O-Lanterns. Jacko has
Linnea Quigley in it, we need tomention
Jacob Davidson (04:58):
also Jon Carridine in stock footage.
Jonathan Correia (05:04):
Sorry. Jon Carrodine, stock footage,
Jacob Davidson (05:07):
pretty much, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (05:09):
I think he was dead when they he was right,
yeah. So they had,
Jacob Davidson (05:13):
they used, like, some footage that I guess they
shot of him several years agofrom another move and just kind
Jonathan Correia (05:18):
of stuck it in. Didn't work together as well
as a Mute Witness. When theyinserted use the because they
shot the footage with, I thinkit
Jacob Davidson (05:27):
was alleged, allegedness.
Jonathan Correia (05:29):
Yeah, they shot that years prior. Yeah. I
didn't realize that until I wentinto the special features on the
arrow disc, and I was like,wait, that was from years prior.
Hell, yeah. Okay, yeah. Funnyenough. I
Jacob Davidson (05:40):
was at a screening of Mute Witness a
couple weeks ago, and thedirector mentioned that in his
introduction, yeah, yeah. It isalways funny when they do stuff
like that, or like, famously,Edward Wood putting the footage
of Bell legosi in plan Nine fromOuter Space after he died, and
then having chiropractor juststand around with the cape. So
good.
Jonathan Correia (06:00):
I mean, I mean, they did a much better job
Mute Witness with it.
Jacob Davidson (06:04):
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, it's pretty seamless. But
yeah, and Jacob, not so much,because, like, he is, like,
There's shots where JohnCarradine is, like, sitting
somewhere, and he's like, a in arobe as a wizard. And then,
like, I think they just have aJohn Carradine impersonator in
some shots,
Jonathan Correia (06:19):
amazing.
James Jay Edwards (06:20):
But this is from the late 80s, so it's not
like Tarkin in Rogue One. It's,yeah,
Jacob Davidson (06:26):
no, it's not CGI. It's just some guy in a
robe.
James Jay Edwards (06:31):
Oh, man, speaking of CGI, and we This
isn't horror at all, but itmight be. It's horrible because
it's the, probably the worstmovie of the year. Here,
Zemeckis's Here.
Jacob Davidson (06:41):
Oh yeah.
James Jay Edwards (06:42):
Oh my god.
Okay, so the, basically, thecrux of this movie, and I don't
want to go into it too much,because it's not horror at all,
but it's, it goes. It's this onepiece of land that they build
this house on, and it literallygoes from the dinosaurs up until
current day. But most of it is,is on this family that Tom Hanks
and Robin Wright are in andwhenever they showed the de aged
Tom Hanks, I can't help butthink, Bosom Buddies, Bosom
(07:05):
Buddies. Oh yeah, it but no,Here is bad. It's really bad.
Like, I love the concept,because basically it's one shot
of this one room. And I wasjoking as we were leaving that,
you know, best supporting actorto this bay window that's in the
room because you're looking outthis. But anyway, something new
that I did see that, I think itcomes out tomorrow, which by the
(07:28):
time this post will have beenlike a few days ago. Heretic,
oh, the new A24 Yeah, reallyexcited
Jacob Davidson (07:37):
for that. This.
It's
James Jay Edwards (07:38):
pretty good.
It's in a year full of like, youknow, The First Omen, and The
Exorcism, you know, andImmaculate, this is a refreshing
religious horror movie. The cruxof it is on these two Latter Day
Saints missionaries. One of themis Sophie Thatcher, and the
other is Chloe East. They knockon the door of this guy who is
(08:00):
Hugh Grant, and he invites themin, you know, let's talk about
our Lord and Savior, JesusChrist. And he's like this
religious scholar, so he'sbasically questioning their
whole belief system and throwingthings back at them. And they're
kind of on the defensive. Butthere's other stuff going on
there as well. And it's, it's,it's pretty I think the scariest
(08:20):
part is how he is basicallygetting them to question their
whole belief system. And thegirls this, the Sophie Thatcher
one was converted intoMormonism, but the Chloe East
one was born into it. So theythey have different levels of
commitment to the religion. Butthere's, there is, I mean, it's
a real wordy movie. There's alot of conversation, but there
(08:43):
is actual horror movie that doeshappen. Horror movie stuff that
does happen later on, but it'sit Oh, it's and Hugh Grant, oh
my gosh, dude, this is the mostvillainous since Paddington 2
that we've gotten from. He's Oh,he's so good in it, all three of
them. It's like a three personplay, kind of, although one of
the Mormon elders, and I didn'teven recognize him until the
(09:08):
credits at the end, is TopherGrace. That's awesome. It's a
real small part. He basicallycomes looking for these girls
because, you know? Oh, theydidn't check back in, you know.
But, yeah, I didn't evenrecognize them. But yeah,
Heretic, it's, it's not what youthink it is, but it's really
good. So
Jonathan Correia (09:30):
hell yeah, for For New Movies, I went out and
saw Smile 2, which prompt me tofinally watch the first Smile.
James Jay Edwards (09:38):
You hadn't seen the first one. No, it just,
Jonathan Correia (09:42):
it never interested me. I just, it was
always like, I'm all set.
James Jay Edwards (09:47):
So when I mentioned the cat scene, you had
no idea what you were in for.
Jonathan Correia (09:51):
No, and I got to say my they're not my vibe I
like because I again, I don'twant to trash. Movies, just
because it's not my vibe,because they are well made. The
first one definitely had a lotof faults. The cat scene was
great. You know, I enjoyed thatone quite a bit. The first movie
just had that did that thingwhere there's, like, one thing
(10:13):
that just irks the shit out ofyou, story wise, and then it
like you can't stop, like,looping on it the rest of the
movie. And it's early ish in themovie after, you know, the smile
curses put on her and all that.
It's like the day after. Andshe, you know, has a
hallucination, and she accusesone of the patients of being
aggressive. And then thedoctors, like this man, has
never shown any sign ofaggression, ever, and whenever
(10:33):
he's been here, listen, I knowyou. I know you've, uh, been
pulling 80 hour work weeks forthe last few months and witness
someone slit their own throat infront of you yesterday. But you
accusing this man of beingaggressive today is a bit too
much. Maybe you should take sometime off. I was just sitting
there going giving that girl abreak. Man
Jacob Davidson (10:56):
like that is and her fiance is a dick. Her fiance
everyone
Jonathan Correia (11:01):
just like, everyone's just like, yeah,
someone slit their throat infront of you. It's fine, quit
being so weird. Okay? And it'slike, Guys, come on this. You
need to be buying her vacation.
Okay, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (11:12):
yeah, no. It does kind of lean pretty hard
into like, even though thisperson seen some crazy shit,
everybody just blows her offabout like, all the stuff that's
happening to her,
Jonathan Correia (11:22):
that being said, I like Smile 2, a lot
more. Yeah, that kind of stuffwasn't going on at the end of
the day. I like all both moviesare about, like, women not being
listened to, and, you know,trauma and all that Smile 2
James Jay Edwards (11:36):
had a different reason for for that,
because she was a recoveringaddict and alcoholic, so that
people were like, oh, did yourelapse? You know, kind of a
thing.
Jonathan Correia (11:47):
But also, she hid the fact that she witnessed
the guy, yeah, die in front ofher. No one knew about it. So
it's not like, everyone waslike, Yeah, we know you saw this
terrible thing. And it's like,no, no, no. Like, it's there's
legit. Like, why are you actingso like no one knew. So, like,
it made sense, and I like, shewas
James Jay Edwards (12:02):
at a drug dealer's house when it happened.
So exactly, you know it, she hada reason to hide it, because she
was, yeah, didn't want people toknow that she was buying Ambien.
But, yeah.
Jonathan Correia (12:13):
But also, that whole opening with with Kyle
Gallagher was just so good,
James Jay Edwards (12:20):
you know what? I saw him in the in the
credit list for Smile 2. I'mlike, okay, he's either gonna
die in the first scene or he'sgonna be the guy in the cabin
that they go to. How do we breakthis curse? You've lived through
it. And sure enough, there he isdying. And see, spoiler alert,
but not really. Yeah,
Jonathan Correia (12:39):
I had a lot of fun with it. Naomi Scott
absolutely ate it. I just, Ithink, at the end of it, because
I don't know, like, at the end Iwas, like, it was a good movie.
I just, I wasn't, like, super. Iwas, I was tired by the end of
it, like I do, like, if I feltlong
James Jay Edwards (12:58):
for me, it is a long movie. And also, when I
re watched Smile before smiletwo, yeah, I didn't realize
that. I think that one's an hour50, and to me, Smile feels like
a 90 minute movie. Whereas Smile2, it feels longer than it is,
whereas Smile I think, feltshorter to me at least. Yeah,
(13:19):
smile two is 127
Jonathan Correia (13:21):
minutes, so it's a little over two hours. I
mean, again, they're, they'regood movies. I'm gonna say
they're, they're, they're not myvibe. But Naomi Scott absolutely
ate it, especially when she'slike, full Sky Riley and is
like, doing the moves and stuff.
She was absolutely serving and Iloved every minute of it.
James Jay Edwards (13:38):
So are you Team Sky Riley or team Lady
Raven. Listen,
Jonathan Correia (13:42):
I need them to go on tour together. What was it
on letterboxd? Someone said,Yeah, Lady Raven and Sky Riley
cunty World Tour, when
James Jay Edwards (13:53):
I know they're the Taylor Swift
Paramore tour.
Jonathan Correia (13:58):
My main takeaway from it was, Oh, great.
Drag Queens can finally put awaytheir Pearl costumes, because
now they have a new screamingqueen to emulate. Because, boy,
she, she must have burst like athroat vessel with the screaming
on that one. But, yeah, it was,it was fun. Yeah, I'll watch a
Smile 3, but I want to seeParker fan do a non smile
(14:20):
movies. Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (14:20):
that's, that's exactly what I was about
to say. I'm like, you know, I, Ilike the smile movies, but I
really do want to see him comeup with another idea. Or, you
know, because, because the dudecan make a movie, yeah, I just
don't know if the Smilefranchise has the kind of legs,
you know, to support many moremovies after this.
Jonathan Correia (14:42):
Well, it's like a ROB Savage, you know,
where? It's like, All right,cool. Can you lean away from the
found footage stuff, host guy,yeah, where, yeah, the Host and
Dashccam. It's like, all right,you can, you can do about
footage stuff. Can you do nonand then he did The Boogeyman,
which was great, you know? Andit's like, awesome. So I'm
hoping, cool. Something similar.
He does a third and it's
James Jay Edwards (15:02):
something you can work outside of screening
horror Exactly, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (15:08):
and yeah, I haven't seen a lot of other new
stuff, although I have seen,like, some pre screening and
independent stuff, like therewas this movie, Watch Them Come
Blood that was made by some coworkers of mine at the
Cinematheque, Mike Cuenca andJoaquin Dominguez. And
James Jay Edwards (15:29):
what is it?
Watch Them Come Blood. Yeah,
Jacob Davidson (15:32):
watch them come blood. It's like a kind of a
grind house exploitationthrowback.
James Jay Edwards (15:36):
It sounds like, it sounds like a horror
porn movie. Well,
Jacob Davidson (15:40):
it is set at a brothel. Oh yeah, because it's
about, yeah, it's about thisgroup of friends are going on
road trip, and they discoverthis kind of underground sex
club at a brothel, and they gothere, and, of course, shit goes
sideways. I don't want to gettoo into it, because it, it goes
into some pretty crazy places.
But, yeah, it's just like anindependent horror movie made
(16:03):
for pretty minimal budget. And,yeah, I got this. I got to see
it at the Los Feliz theater acouple weeks back, and it's a
lot of fun. Like, it has, it haskind of a ensemble cast so like
there's a lot of intersectingcharacter, plot lines and arcs.
Yeah, it does kind of feel likea lost, like 70s, grimy, dry
(16:28):
drive in movie. And I think it'sgoing to be getting a release
sometime next year throughVinegar Syndrome.
Jonathan Correia (16:39):
Oh, yeah, awesome. I It's not particularly
horror, but, you know, it'sgenre related, but I saw Sean
Baker's Anora this past weekend.
Have you guys watched that
Jacob Davidson (16:50):
yet? No, it's, it's, it's, it's
Jonathan Correia (16:53):
going to be in the running for Best Picture.
It's really, really good. MickeyMadison as the title character
Anora is absolutely phenomenal.
Sean Baker just continues totell really great stories about
sex workers and shedding lightand humanity on them.
James Jay Edwards (17:12):
Sean Baker, the Florida Project guy, right,
yeah. Florida
Jonathan Correia (17:15):
project,
James Jay Edwards (17:16):
marine, yeah.
Jonathan Correia (17:17):
Red Rocket, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (17:19):
Oh yeah, he did. Red Rocket, yeah, okay,
Jonathan Correia (17:21):
this one's very much more in in the vibe of
Red Rocket. But it's because thewhole point is, you know, this
rich Russian teenager whoseparents get money from nefarious
dealings goes to this sex club,yeah, this stripper club where
he meets Ani, Anora and she it'sone of those, like, whirlwind
(17:47):
wet love affairs where it'slike, oh, we're, you want to be
my exclusive? Yeah, it's gonnacut, you know, like, almost
Pretty Woman But then, like, youknow, it goes kind of through
the ropes, but it doesn't doanything similar. Like, it's,
it's hard to describe withoutspoiling a whole lot, but
essentially, every single personin this movie is charming as
(18:07):
fuck it to some degree. It's,it's, it's really good, really
funny. And I got a shout outrespect to Mickey Madison, who,
I guess they did a screeningbefore it came out for sex
workers in New York, and at theend of the movie, they all
lifted up their legs and startedclapping with their heels. So I
highly recommend looking up thatfootage, because it's just a
(18:29):
bunch of like, really high heelswith like, neon, clear shoes,
just like clacking real fuckingloud with the legs over the
seats. It's so good.
James Jay Edwards (18:39):
I love these specialized screenings they do,
because there was a screening,and this wasn't the one that I
was at, but of Sing, sing, wherethey had all of these ex cons in
the audience. And then TheBikerider screen that I was at,
they invited a real motorcycleclub to it, yeah, and that was
(19:00):
really funny, because theylaughed at all the right places,
and it made it really enjoyable.
Like, you could, like, there's,there's a line in the movie
where, where they say somethinglike, so you take these guys who
don't follow rules, and you givethem a bunch of rules, and the
MC just all started cracking up.
And it was really funny. Butthen there was room at my
screening of Kneecap, and Ididn't know this at the time,
(19:24):
but I did hear people speakingIrish all around me. There was
some Irish coalition that theyinvited. So those specialized
screenings can be really fun. Ifyou are in the you're immersed
in this audience of people whoare going to relate to this
movie a lot harder than you do.
You know,
Jonathan Correia (19:41):
I wish I was at that Anoro screening, because
that would have been just suchimmaculate vibes and just ours.
Our screening was really great.
We sat at the AMC prime and citywalk in, like midday on a Sunday
or something, and no one elsewas in it. So we had like these
tall balcony seats, essentiallyhad the whole theater to
ourselves. It was great. I
James Jay Edwards (19:58):
had a screening of First Reformed to
myself once, these were themovie past days and and this
screening started, it was likethe last screening of the day,
and I'm sitting in there, andthen they start the movie, and
it's just me, and I'm like, Oh,this, these theater workers hate
me because, you know, I'm thereason they're staying. Yeah,
no, I
Jacob Davidson (20:18):
love when I got an entire theater and myself at
like, Alamo Drafthouse, like Ithe last time that happened was
I was the only person in theaudience for, like, an early
screening of quiet place. Well,the new one. What was it called
again? Oh, day one, day one.
Yeah, the day day one. I was theonly one there. So it was real
quiet, the
James Jay Edwards (20:39):
first quiet place. I saw it twice, and it
was a packed theater both times.
And I think you needed a packedtheater for that, because a
packed theater just completelydead silent. There's just this
energy to it, but, but day onewas a little different. It was,
it was not as it was not asdependent, yeah, it wasn't as
dependent on that silence, likespeaking of silence, have you
(21:04):
guys seen Azrael? Yes,
Jacob Davidson (21:08):
I saw an Alamo draft house last month. Yeah,
it's on
James Jay Edwards (21:11):
shudder now.
It kind of has A Quiet Placeconcept to it, because what do
they say at the at the verybeginning, something like,
there's, like, some kind ofapocalypse. And they're like,
people have the rapture, yeah,the rapture. There was a
rapture. And they're like,people have, have foregone
their, you know, the sin ofspeech, or something like that.
(21:31):
They have some dramatic way ofputting it. They have, you know,
given up talking. And SamaraWeaving is the main character.
And, um, oh, man. It's anothermovie where she ends up soaked
in blood. If you like, SamaraWeaving, drenched in blood.
Azrael is your bag.
Jacob Davidson (21:49):
We all do, yeah, we Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (21:51):
exactly. She basically there. There's, like,
some kind of it. The thing is,the lack of dialog makes it not
difficult to follow. But youreally have to pay attention,
because it's the opposite of,you know, show, don't tell.
They, I mean, they aredefinitely showing, not telling,
but it's the kind of thing like,oh, okay, wait a minute. And
plus, there's, there's basicallythe crux of it is there's this
(22:12):
cult that that is after her, andit alternates between her
running from them and hergetting revenge on them, you
know, at points, and there's oneof the cult members who,
especially when she's covered inblood, you're like, Okay, wait,
you know, from behind, you'relike, is that, you know, is that
the cult member, or is thattomorrow weaving, you know,
(22:32):
there's kind of that kind of adeal. But it's, it's, it's
pretty good, though. I mean, theway it's, it's real, it has that
quiet place tension. Because, Imean, the most dialog you have
is there's a guy that's speakingsome other language without
subtitles, so you don't knowwhat he's saying. But then he
puts on sniffing the tearsdriver's seat when they're
(22:54):
driving. So you're like, Oh, allright, hell yeah.
Jacob Davidson (22:56):
In terms of new stuff, I was fortunate enough to
see pre screening of the newWallace and Gromit movie,
Wallace & Gromit (23:02):
Vengeance Most Fowl, ah, featuring the return
of the greatest villain incinematic history, Feathers
McGraw,
Jonathan Correia (23:11):
I'm so jealous you got to see that in theaters.
Yeah,
Jacob Davidson (23:15):
no, because the thing is, it's a Netflix movie.
So I mean, maybe they'll do alimited run, you know, so they
can, you know, go for awards.
But, ya know, as lucky, theywere doing a pre screening over
at USC. And, I mean, it's a lotof fun because, you know, it's
like just taking a lot of thosetechniques from all the other
previous Walt and Gromit movies,and it just looks so seamless,
(23:36):
and had, like, even biggerstunts and misadventures. And,
yeah, no, it's funny too,because, like, the wrong
trousers, the one with feathersMcGraw was like, 30 years ago.
Yeah, so it's wild to see kindof a sequel to that after all
this time. But yeah, I love thatevil penguin
Jonathan Correia (24:00):
the Wallace and Gromit movies are just
absolute clutch greatest. Yeah,well, Curse of the Were-Rabbit
was absolutely phenomenal. Andall the shorts, I mean, you
can't beat Wallace and Gromit.
That's just, fact
James Jay Edwards (24:13):
is that the same guy who did Creature
Comforts, yes, Hardman, yeah,it's the same style animation.
Yeah, I remember that from theold sick and twisted the mic and
spikes sick and twisted thecreature comforts that would
just, they would show that, itseemed like every year, and it
would always slay. I
Jonathan Correia (24:34):
love creature comforts. It's just them
rambling stuff going on in thebackground, but
James Jay Edwards (24:41):
also like, like, the lions laying on a on a
branch that you could see, it'sbolted the wall, and he's like,
oh, I need the blue skies andthe water to swim.
Jacob Davidson (24:52):
It's funny. I just saw Curse of the
Were-Rabbit for the first timeat the out at the new Beverly
last month, too. So. So I'veseen both theatrical Wallace and
Gromits, and I do have fondmemories of Wallace and Gromit
too, because, like, when I was akid, you know, like they toured
those movie those shorts, and,like, I'd see them at, think it
was the Boston Children's Museumor Museum of Science, where they
(25:15):
do stuff about claymation andthat, and that stuff just blew
my mind as a kid.
Jonathan Correia (25:20):
As a kid, it was the Wallace and Gromit tapes
and any Eyewitness VHS tapes mylocal library had, were
constantly on loan for me.
Remember eyewitness? Ah, theyhave all those on YouTube now.
But speaking of Aardman, Aardmanalso, they're having a good year
because they had their ChickenRun sequel come out. They Oh
yes, they had this, and theyjust premiered earlier this
(25:41):
month, a two minute shortcelebrating the 10th anniversary
of Over the Garden Wall as well.
Oh
Jacob Davidson (25:50):
yeah, yeah. That was really good. It
Jonathan Correia (25:53):
was phenomenal. I love that.
Patrick. Michael was like, yeah,the original show should have
been all stop motion. And it'slike, well, yeah, yeah, you
know, Captain hindsight, 10years later, you know, but Over
the Garden Wall is still amasterpiece. And before
Halloween, we got to attend aThe Blasting Company is the band
that did all the music for it.
So for the first time ever, theyhad the entirety of the people
(26:15):
who performed on that soundtrackperform it live. And they also
had an orchestra, and it wasincredible. It was interesting
seeing people jam out to thatstyle of like jazz live. So that
was interesting. But yeah,special guests through the
wazoo, including Elijah Wood,came out and read some bad
(26:38):
poetry for everybody. Over theGarden Wall 10 years still
strong of being the best cozyfall watch you could possibly
do. God, I just want thosecomics to go back in print.
They're so expensive.
James Jay Edwards (26:53):
Did either you guys watch Woman of the
Hour? No, Netflix it. It ispretty good. It's interesting.
It's Anna Kendrick. She stars init, but she also directed it.
And it is, you know, the story,it's the, it's the story of
Rodney Alcala, the The DatingGame killer, yeah, and Anna
(27:14):
Kendrick plays the, the theBachelorette, who is on the the
dating game with him. But italso goes back, and it's more
about him than her, because itgoes back and it shows some of
his killings. And I did a littlebit of research, and it looks
like it looks like that part ofit seems kind of real. There's
(27:36):
one thing in it that it thatsee, that seems like it was
dramatized, and that's in theaudience the dating game. There
is a woman who recognizes him asthe guy who she thinks raped and
killed her friend, you know. Sothere's that little subplot, but
it's a, it's a pretty well madelittle, I mean, it's a, it's a
(27:57):
compact little movie, you know.
I mean, I think it's like anhour 35 so it's not like super
short, but it is. It's real.
It's an easy watch. I mean,anything with Anna Kendrick is
an easy watch, really, but theguy who plays Rodney Alcala is
pretty creepy. He's like, he'sand it goes through a few of his
victims, including one who gotaway from him, and it was like
(28:22):
his undoing was this one thatrun away, that got away from
him, yeah? But, um, it's apretty cool little, I think it's
her directorial debut. I don'tknow maybe she's done something
in the past, but it's, I
Jonathan Correia (28:34):
think it's her feature, yeah, maybe
James Jay Edwards (28:36):
the feature, yeah, it's a pretty strong
little, little movie, though. Imean, it's, it's cool. It's on
Netflix.
Jonathan Correia (28:43):
I'm very interested in it because, you
know, especially growing up andhearing the stories and then
finding the clips of the of theepisode where he's on. It's,
it's always creepy to watch,because he is very like, the
actual guy on The Dating Show ispretty charming. But there is
this, like, little like, yeah,you know. And they
James Jay Edwards (29:01):
show that because, because they go into
sections where, like, wherethey're not taping, like,
commercials and stuff, wherehe's interacting with the other
two bachelors and, and you'relike, Okay, something is totally
off about this dude, you know.
And, but his answers to herquestions are all the right
answers, you know. You can seewhy he won it. It's, yeah, he,
he turns it on and off prettyeffortlessly. It's, it's, it's
(29:26):
pretty crazy. But yeah, there's,there's some Ted Bundy in there
where he's just, like, supercharming. And you can see the
audience, you know, falling inlove with him, just, you know,
although you know. And this inin real life, too. The woman who
won it, she, she didn't go onthe date with him because she
thought that he was creepy. Soit's like, and it shows like,
them kind of getting a drinkafter the show, and you could
(29:49):
see where she's getting creepedout by him, you know, it kind of
goes into that more. It's like,okay, this is why, you know,
this is why she's not going onthe date. With him, because he,
because he's a creeper. Yeah,no, I'll
Jonathan Correia (30:02):
definitely have to check that one out.
Let's,
James Jay Edwards (30:04):
let's take a trip into Correia's Book Nook.
Correia's Book Nook. Oh, man,yeah, because, because, because,
with guest star Jay, because, Ihave a couple of a couple things
I read. One of them is thenovelization of X. A24 is doing
vintage horror novelizations ofthe X trilogy, and the first X
(30:28):
is out, and it, you know, it haslike the vintage, you know,
cover and stuff like that. Andit is, it's pretty much the
story of X, but there's more ofPearl in it. And it makes me
wonder, because they say thatthis was novelized from is that
a word novelized? It was, it waswritten off of the original
script. And it makes me wonderif there was more of Pearl in
(30:51):
the original script that theykind of cut because it, I mean,
I like the movie the way it is,because it leaves Pearl as more
mysterious. But this one thebook, it tells more about her
and like and it shows a littlemore about her obsession with
Maxine and, you know, and someof the killings it does from her
(31:11):
point of view, instead of just,you know, from the victims point
of view. It's pretty interestingthough. It's a, it's a, it's a
cool little read and a anotherbook nook entry, I think I've
mentioned in the past. One of myfavorite podcasts is the Mr.
Ballen podcast, he put out ait's called MrBallen Presents:
(31:32):
Strange, Dark & Mysterious thegraphic stories. And it's like a
graphic it's a graphic novel of,you know, five or six of the
stories he's told on thepodcast, but then he had an
artist, you know, draw it outand, and it's a graphic novel
about him, and that is a lot offun to see the these stories,
you know, brought to life. Imean, on the page, not, you
(31:55):
know, it's not like a movie,it's, you know, a comic. But
that's, that's really fun to seethat. And the final Correia's
Book Nook from guest star Jay isI've been reading, and I'm only
about maybe a third of the waythrough it. It's called Bad Man.
It's by Dathan Auerbach. Is hisname, and you'll know him better
(32:16):
as 1000 vultures who wrote thatpen pal creepy pasta that then
got published as a book.
Remember pen pal?
Jonathan Correia (32:24):
I think so.
Yeah, yeah, pen pal, I
James Jay Edwards (32:26):
loved. And a Bad Man is it's basically about
this dude whose little brothergoes missing, and he's looking
for his little brother. And, youknow, nefarious things happen,
and I'm only about a third ofthe way through, so you know,
I'll keep you posted on how thatone goes, but so far so good.
It's, it's shaping up to be apretty good there's a cardboard
(32:48):
baler that they keep focusing onthat I'm positive is going to
come back to literally bitesomeone. Well, it's
Jonathan Correia (32:57):
the classic, you know, theater line. You
introduce a cardboard baler inthe first act. It's got to be
used in the third right?
James Jay Edwards (33:03):
Well, it's also a film school thing. It's
like, if you show a phone inthis scene, it better ring,
Jonathan Correia (33:08):
right?
Exactly. No, no. I plan onbringing back Correia's Book
Nook more frequently. I'm just,I have this problem of buying
books and then starting to readthem. So I'm like, a quarter of
the way of, like, five or sixbooks, and my ADHD won't let me
finish anything, but manhunt isgetting a television adaptation
from Lily Wachowski, whichpreviously recommended Correia's
(33:31):
Book Nook entry Gretchen FelkerMartin's manhunt, the post
apocalyptic trans story. That'samazing. I've been saying from
the since I started reading thatI need a Last of Us level
adaptation of this book. I neverthought it would happen. So
it's, it's, I'm so pumped forit. I'm so excited. The other
(33:51):
thing that I'm still excitedover is the day before
Halloween, Halloween eve, toeat because devils night, yeah,
devils night wentto a 10 year anniversary
screening of The Guest nice,which is amazing, because the
guests never really had atheatrical run. So I'm really
glad that it's getting more Ithink it played. They said it
(34:14):
was 54 screens when it firstcame out, and
Jacob Davidson (34:18):
I was at one of them. I was at the Cinefamily
premiere.
Jonathan Correia (34:21):
Oh, that's awesome. But seeing that with
like, a crowd was so amazing,because I've gone through so
many different phases with thatmovie and and viewing it as,
like, when I first saw it, Iwas, I was sitting there, like,
this is a serious movie. It's aIt's Captain America slasher,
you know, and I almost got noneof the humor of it. And then,
like subsequent viewings, gotmore and more of the humor, and
(34:44):
seeing it with a crowd andeveryone laughing at all the
ridiculousness was amazing. But,yeah, it's funny. But what made
this screening special? It wasover at Vidiots, and their
theater was they had two of theproducers there who have come to
previous screenings, as well asJay is already smiling. He knows
what I'm about to say. My man,Dan Stevens,
Jacob Davidson (35:04):
oh yeah, your idol.
Jonathan Correia (35:07):
Oh idol.
That's putting it lightly. Getat awesome
James Jay Edwards (35:11):
picture out there. You should post it to our
socials of Correia in hisskeleton sweat suit with Dan
Stevens, Yes,
Jacob Davidson (35:21):
Dan Stevens wearing a hoodie.
Jonathan Correia (35:23):
No, he was wearing a Roswell t shirt. Yeah,
it was. It was really funny,because I wear that skeleton, I
will take any excuse to dress upas a skeleton, and so Dan loved
it, by the way, just in case youthought, but no, immediately, I
was like, I don't know what thefuck I'm gonna say to Dan, but
he was wearing a Roswell tshirt. I was like, dude, have
you ever heard of the alienWatchtower in Colorado? He's
(35:45):
like, Well, I'm like, it's onthe border of New Mexico and
Colorado, and it's this weirdspiritual place. He was like,
Oh, shit, I have. I've beenthere. I was like, me too. So we
geeked out over weird alien hotspots for a minute. And yeah, I
also, in that photo, you'llnotice I have a comically large
fanny pack filled with candy. Sogave him some candy and left.
(36:05):
But yeah, no, it was a it was anamazing screening. And again,
going back and revisiting thatmovie, it's fucking hilarious.
Dan Stevens even said he's like,yeah, no, it's a comedy from the
get go. First of all, casting meas a super soldier is inherently
funny and ridiculous. But onething I never really picked up
(36:25):
on, because, again, I keepsaying every time I watch it,
it's something new to watch it,as he brought up that for him,
and what him and Adam Windgardtalked about was that it was a
queer love story, because DanStevens character, you know, he
went to war with their son, withthe family's son, and so he was
coming back to legitimately takecare of them and make sure that
(36:47):
they're all right after thedeath of their son. And it
wasn't until his brain washprogramming kicked in was he
actually, like, you know, akiller. And it just brought a
whole new perspective to the tothe story, because there were a
few parts, like, why did he helpthe dad, if it didn't help the
mission? You know what I mean,things of that nature. So it's,
(37:09):
it's such a great movie and sofun to go back to. And, God, I
hope they do a sequel someday.
It would be great.
Jacob Davidson (37:16):
I was gonna say, I actually re watched the movie
too at Alamo, because it was thenew 4k restoration they were
putting down. And, yeah, well, Imean, technically, there is a
sequel, because they put out thesequel soundtrack, where they
made us soundtrack for thehypothetical guest two. And
there's some kind of hints andpieces for what they would go
for. Like, I think it would belike David fighting some kind of
(37:40):
fundamentalist religious cult.
So, you know, we can, we canimagine,
Jonathan Correia (37:46):
I know I have, I have that vinyl, and I sit
there and I just imagine what'shappening. Mostly it's just
imagining a shirtless whichthose scenes killed. Let me tell
you, if you, if you're alistener of the podcast, if you
think I'm thirsty for DanStevens, Nah, dude. Half that
crowd at the screening werewomen who were thirsty. Let me
(38:10):
the lady next to me was was sofunny. She had a bunch of things
for Dan to sign. And as soon ashe came out of that shirtless
scene, was just like you wouldhave thought the Beatles came
out, and it was the 60s, andwhen he was carrying the kegs,
everybody fucking lost it. Ohyeah, it was great. Yeah, that's
James Jay Edwards (38:27):
funny.
Speaking of Dan Stevens, Iactually caught up with Cuckoo,
Jonathan Correia (38:33):
his least sexiest role of the year.
James Jay Edwards (38:36):
You know, it's funny. I and I even texted
you guys, or, you know, when itwas happening, I was getting
huge Human Centipede vibes fromit. And Dan Stevens was the
freaking creepy Doctor dude. Iwas like, this is this is going
Human Centipede, um, cuckoo wasnot what I thought it would be.
(38:58):
I mean, you guys know me, Idon't watch trailers or, you
know, look at stuff. So it wasnot what I thought it would be.
It was, I loved Hunter Schaefer.
She's note perfect in this. Ohyeah, and it is. It's just Yeah.
I mean, I think that you alreadytalked enough about it. I can.
I'm just gonna give you know, mymy thumbs up to it. I thought
(39:20):
Cuckoo is was great. And
Jacob Davidson (39:25):
I'm actually going to another screening of
Cuckoo at the new Beverly nextweek, as they're doing as a
double feature with Creepers,aka Phenomena, the Dario Argento
movie, also in the Swiss Alpswith Jennifer Connelly. But
Jonathan Correia (39:39):
are they showing the the Creepers
version, the American version ofit. It's
Jacob Davidson (39:44):
the Creepers version because I think it's the
only 35 millimeter prints, and Ithink the only like English
print, which, yeah, I mean, Iprefer the Phenomenal cut. But
still, I've seen the Creeperscut a couple times, and it's
truncated, but still fun. Yeah.
Jonathan Correia (40:00):
I was gonna say as a double feature with
that, I'm sure it'll be fun,especially if you already have
seen phenomenon a bunch of time.
I just recently, yeah,phenomenon for the first time,
so I can't imagine what thecreepers version is, but as a
double feature like that, thatsounds like a great time. Oh
Jacob Davidson (40:15):
yeah, no, I'm very excited for that. It's also
my favorite Argentina movie, andI love cuckoo and yeah, just
swiss alps are creepy. What's upwith Switzerland?
James Jay Edwards (40:26):
Let's wrap this one up with this episode up
with this. In case you couldn'ttell, this has just been our
Halloween hangover episode,because we had a guest fall
through. So you have to dealwith us just talking, and not to
tip our hand, because we stillwant to try to get this guest on
there. But Jacob and I both sawStreet Trash, the remake of
(40:49):
street trash. So let's end withthat. What do you think the
sequel? Is it a sequel or, yeah,I guess it is. It's
Jonathan Correia (40:55):
a sequel.
Yeah, it's
James Jay Edwards (40:56):
it's not a very faithful remake of it is.
So yeah, let's call it a C, whatdo you think, Jacob,
Jacob Davidson (41:02):
Oh, I loved it.
James Jay Edwards (41:03):
It is so
Jacob Davidson (41:04):
I thought it was so much. Yeah, it was so bizarre
and brutal and, oh, is it gooey?
It's totally
James Jay Edwards (41:11):
your thing. I remember, as I was watching it,
I'm like, I'll do this is up.
Jacob zali, this is, like, thisis like, Astron six, you know,
style, you know, squirtingladder, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (41:22):
yeah. And I do appreciate them elevating the
story, because I've seen theoriginal Street Trash and, I
mean, it's fun. It's just, it'snot, not a whole lot of plot,
except, you know, like all thesehomeless people drinking 10 to
five Viper and melting down andall this weird stuff in New
York, but this, it's like, it'slike a social satire, because
(41:44):
it's set in South Africa, whenthe homeless population is
reaching all time high, and thegovernment basically makes this
bio weapon to melt down thehomeless for ecological
purposes.
James Jay Edwards (41:56):
They're getting rid of the homeless
problem. Yeah, by melting them,yeah,
Jacob Davidson (42:00):
it's a war on poverty, and they're gonna kill
the powers the impoverished.
James Jay Edwards (42:04):
I love what Correia talked about him when,
when he did, like the fullreview on it. Um, Sucko little
blue guy. He had one of the bestline. And this is actually
Director Ryan Krueger did thevoice. He had one of the best
lines. He's high is a giraffe'spussy. And that's high
Jonathan Correia (42:23):
I said in my review. I can't say what he was
saying. And here's Jay,
James Jay Edwards (42:28):
yeah, that's one of the cleaner lines of this
guy's
Jacob Davidson (42:30):
dialog. So much foul language that
James Jay Edwards (42:35):
is now in my my everyday vernacular, higher
than a giraffe's pussy.
Jonathan Correia (42:42):
I clipped out my review and sent it to Ryan
and Justin, and I got a noteback from Justin that just said,
great review. Thanks formentioning the penis
decapitation.
Jacob Davidson (42:53):
Oh yeah, slammed in a gate door.
Jonathan Correia (42:55):
That's probably my favorite note I've
gotten from someone about areview. But yeah, no, it's
definitely a sequel, becausethey, they take the booze from
the first movie, and that's howthey make the weapon. They
vaporize it so that it could beinhaled. But again, yeah, it's
it's incredible, becauseoriginal Street Trash, yeah,
it's fun. It's gooey, butthere's a lot to be desired when
(43:16):
it comes to like, characterdevelopment and story. And this,
Ryan Kruger's Street Trash justmakes up for that. And tenfold,
what like the most charminggroup of hobos you'll ever see.
I know.
James Jay Edwards (43:27):
I know. And what is it? What's the girl's
name? Alex, yeah, yeah. She was,she was way too clean to be a
real homeless person. I'm like,no, no, yeah. That was pretty
funny. The the little hobo tribethey had,
Jonathan Correia (43:45):
but did you guys expect to tear up because I
teared up during the attempt atresuscitation scene?
James Jay Edwards (43:53):
Yeah, it was funny, because you would, you
would prep me for it. He's doingCPR, do I?
Jonathan Correia (44:00):
Yeah, so funny. But like, also, I'm like,
James Jay Edwards (44:02):
This is so sad. Well, I I kind of got teary
eyed during the last guardiansof Galaxy movie with when
they're trying to save rocket.
I'm like, I did not have gettingall emotionally attached to a CG
raccoon on my bingo card. Buthere I am, you know,
Jonathan Correia (44:19):
and then 2024 it's getting teary eyed over,
uh, decapitated
James Jay Edwards (44:23):
corpse, yep, which was not CG, which is
beautiful,
Jonathan Correia (44:27):
full practical, yeah. And, oh
James Jay Edwards (44:30):
my gosh, and there is so many the effects
alone are worth it, you know,just like splattering faces and,
oh, let's call this one anepisode, mainly because I have,
I have a heart out here in asecond. So this one's all this
short episode is because of me.
It's all good, but we, yeah, ifthe Street Trash review, we're
(44:53):
still trying to get a guest inthat. I'm gonna blow the whistle
on it. We're trying to get RyanKruger.
Jonathan Correia (45:00):
Sure. Oh, we're gonna get Ryan. Ryan's
coming on. It's gonna happen. Idon't care when. There you go.
So she's decided we're gettingthem.
James Jay Edwards (45:08):
You have that to look forward to sometime in
the next few episodes. But fornow, this is our Halloween
hangover. Hope you guys likehearing us talk, because that's
what you got. Our theme song isby restless spirits to go check
them out. And our artwork is byChris Fisher, so go check him
out. And you can check us out onall the socials, under
@eyeonhorror, or at ihorror.comwhich is the website we all call
(45:32):
home. And we'll see in a coupleweeks, possibly with Ryan Kruger
or some other fun guest that wehave coming up that I also don't
want to jinx, but one that I'mreally excited about.
Jonathan Correia (45:46):
It's gonna be fun. Yeah, we have a fun few
episodes. Yeah, we
James Jay Edwards (45:49):
do. We have a few good episodes lined up, but
you'll have to wait for that. Sowe'll see you in a couple weeks.
So for me, James, Jay Edwards,
Jacob Davidson (45:57):
I'm Jacob Davison,
Jonathan Correia (45:58):
And I'm Jonathan Correia.
James Jay Edwards (46:00):

James Jay Edwards (00:45):
I don't think any of us are doing amazing.
It's, yeah, it's, it's rough.
But we don't want to go intothat, because, you know, we're
just the liberal left Grifters.
Uh, also with us, as always, isyour other other host, Jon
Correia, how you doing Correia?
As if I need to ask,
Jonathan Correia (01:03):
I was about to say, we don't get those comments
anymore of our thought this wasa horror podcast because I
think, I think we drove them allaway. But it's fine. We also
Jacob Davidson (01:11):
don't want to worry about
James Jay Edwards (01:13):
well, we also may have toned down the liberal
grifting.
Jonathan Correia (01:18):
Listen and my politics are the same as Divine.
My politics are filth. Killeveryone now. No, not really.
Yeah, doing great on justgenuine. I know our topic today
is Halloween hangover, but I'mgenuinely feeling hung over from
Halloween, even though I don'tdrink anymore. So that's fun.
Jacob Davidson (01:38):
Hey, you
James Jay Edwards (01:39):
don't drink anymore. I didn't know that you
hopped on the wagon.
Jonathan Correia (01:42):
I mean, like, I it's, it's gone, it's, it's
just kind of like, let it go.
You know, I used to binge drinkin my 20s and teens and all that
stuff. And then was like, Idon't want to binge drink
anymore. And then, like, it'sless and less. So it's like,
once every few months, maybe,but like, for the most part, not
James Jay Edwards (02:00):
really good on you. I'm at almost 12 and a
half years.
Jonathan Correia (02:03):
It's definitely not a, not a quit
situation. It's just a, what'sit? I don't know, but congrats
on the 12 years, bud.
James Jay Edwards (02:10):
That's fun.
Oh, it was, yeah, that was backin August, but so not quite 12
and a half years, but a longtime. Yeah. Fuck yeah, bud.
Anyway, what you guys
Jacob Davidson (02:19):
been doing?
Well, I celebrated Halloween ina pretty fun way. I went to the
VISTA theater video archive, youknow, kind of the little side
theater outside of the or insideof the VISTA, and they did a
Halloween triple mystery featurewhere they played like three
movies on VHS that we didn'tknow what we were gonna get and
(02:39):
it was HauntedWeen, Jack-O andHack-O-Lantern all on VHS,
James Jay Edwards (02:49):
wait, what's the first one HauntedWeen?
Jacob Davidson (02:51):
HauntedWeen. It was a regional horror, regional
Halloween, horror movie fromKentucky. I've
James Jay Edwards (02:57):
seen Jack-O and Hack-O-Lantern, but I don't
know that I've ever heard ofHaunted, HauntedWeen.
Jacob Davidson (03:04):
Is that wean haunted? HauntedWeen
James Jay Edwards (03:07):
What is? What is that telling us? I'm
interested in that I've seen theother two, but yeah, it's
Jacob Davidson (03:11):
about this old is about this fraternity that's
running low on money. So decideto renovate this old mansion on
the outskirts of town into aHalloween Haunt fundraiser. And
it's the same place where, like,this guy killed somebody during
the last time somebody did ahaunt there. And of course, the
(03:33):
guy comes back to start killingpeople in the haunt. It was a
lot of fun, though. I'm a bigfan of regional horror movies
with a lot of heart and is funsetup, and it even had its own
rock and roll theme song.
James Jay Edwards (03:49):
What? What year is it from?
Jacob Davidson (03:51):
I think 1992
James Jay Edwards (03:54):
Okay, so, so from early 90s. Okay, cool. 9191
so about the same time as theother two then,
Jacob Davidson (04:02):
yeah, like late 80s, early 90s, yeah and yeah.
Jacko is such a bizarre movie,basically being kind of like a
pumpkin head slasher thing. AndI love Hack-O-Lantern,
especially because it's gotGregory Scott Cummins, aka Mac's
dad from always SonyPhiladelphia and high pike as
(04:23):
the satanic grandpa who's alwayshamming it up and saying stuff
like, the power is in the blood
Jonathan Correia (04:29):
Jesus. I have never seen any of these movies,
but that sounds amazing. Justyoung Mac's Dad as a satanist,
yeah,
James Jay Edwards (04:38):
when I used to do my cinema Fear Day column
for film factor. I used everyHalloween I used to try to find
a Halloween Horror movie to do,and after you do it for long
enough, you start scraping theHack-O-Lanterns. Jacko has
Linnea Quigley in it, we need tomention
Jacob Davidson (04:58):
also Jon Carridine in stock footage.
Jonathan Correia (05:04):
Sorry. Jon Carrodine, stock footage,
Jacob Davidson (05:07):
pretty much, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (05:09):
I think he was dead when they he was right,
yeah. So they had,
Jacob Davidson (05:13):
they used, like, some footage that I guess they
shot of him several years agofrom another move and just kind
Jonathan Correia (05:18):
of stuck it in. Didn't work together as well
as a Mute Witness. When theyinserted use the because they
shot the footage with, I thinkit
Jacob Davidson (05:27):
was alleged, allegedness.
Jonathan Correia (05:29):
Yeah, they shot that years prior. Yeah. I
didn't realize that until I wentinto the special features on the
arrow disc, and I was like,wait, that was from years prior.
Hell, yeah. Okay, yeah. Funnyenough. I
Jacob Davidson (05:40):
was at a screening of Mute Witness a
couple weeks ago, and thedirector mentioned that in his
introduction, yeah, yeah. It isalways funny when they do stuff
like that, or like, famously,Edward Wood putting the footage
of Bell legosi in plan Nine fromOuter Space after he died, and
then having chiropractor juststand around with the cape. So
good.
Jonathan Correia (06:00):
I mean, I mean, they did a much better job
Mute Witness with it.
Jacob Davidson (06:04):
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, it's pretty seamless. But
yeah, and Jacob, not so much,because, like, he is, like,
There's shots where JohnCarradine is, like, sitting
somewhere, and he's like, a in arobe as a wizard. And then,
like, I think they just have aJohn Carradine impersonator in
some shots,
Jonathan Correia (06:19):
amazing.
James Jay Edwards (06:20):
But this is from the late 80s, so it's not
like Tarkin in Rogue One. It's,yeah,
Jacob Davidson (06:26):
no, it's not CGI. It's just some guy in a
robe.
James Jay Edwards (06:31):
Oh, man, speaking of CGI, and we This
isn't horror at all, but itmight be. It's horrible because
it's the, probably the worstmovie of the year. Here,
Zemeckis's Here.
Jacob Davidson (06:41):
Oh yeah.
James Jay Edwards (06:42):
Oh my god.
Okay, so the, basically, thecrux of this movie, and I don't
want to go into it too much,because it's not horror at all,
but it's, it goes. It's this onepiece of land that they build
this house on, and it literallygoes from the dinosaurs up until
current day. But most of it is,is on this family that Tom Hanks
and Robin Wright are in andwhenever they showed the de aged
Tom Hanks, I can't help butthink, Bosom Buddies, Bosom
(07:05):
Buddies. Oh yeah, it but no,Here is bad. It's really bad.
Like, I love the concept,because basically it's one shot
of this one room. And I wasjoking as we were leaving that,
you know, best supporting actorto this bay window that's in the
room because you're looking outthis. But anyway, something new
that I did see that, I think itcomes out tomorrow, which by the
(07:28):
time this post will have beenlike a few days ago. Heretic,
oh, the new A24 Yeah, reallyexcited
Jacob Davidson (07:37):
for that. This.
It's
James Jay Edwards (07:38):
pretty good.
It's in a year full of like, youknow, The First Omen, and The
Exorcism, you know, andImmaculate, this is a refreshing
religious horror movie. The cruxof it is on these two Latter Day
Saints missionaries. One of themis Sophie Thatcher, and the
other is Chloe East. They knockon the door of this guy who is
(08:00):
Hugh Grant, and he invites themin, you know, let's talk about
our Lord and Savior, JesusChrist. And he's like this
religious scholar, so he'sbasically questioning their
whole belief system and throwingthings back at them. And they're
kind of on the defensive. Butthere's other stuff going on
there as well. And it's, it's,it's pretty I think the scariest
(08:20):
part is how he is basicallygetting them to question their
whole belief system. And thegirls this, the Sophie Thatcher
one was converted intoMormonism, but the Chloe East
one was born into it. So theythey have different levels of
commitment to the religion. Butthere's, there is, I mean, it's
a real wordy movie. There's alot of conversation, but there
(08:43):
is actual horror movie that doeshappen. Horror movie stuff that
does happen later on, but it'sit Oh, it's and Hugh Grant, oh
my gosh, dude, this is the mostvillainous since Paddington 2
that we've gotten from. He's Oh,he's so good in it, all three of
them. It's like a three personplay, kind of, although one of
the Mormon elders, and I didn'teven recognize him until the
(09:08):
credits at the end, is TopherGrace. That's awesome. It's a
real small part. He basicallycomes looking for these girls
because, you know? Oh, theydidn't check back in, you know.
But, yeah, I didn't evenrecognize them. But yeah,
Heretic, it's, it's not what youthink it is, but it's really
good. So
Jonathan Correia (09:30):
hell yeah, for For New Movies, I went out and
saw Smile 2, which prompt me tofinally watch the first Smile.
James Jay Edwards (09:38):
You hadn't seen the first one. No, it just,
Jonathan Correia (09:42):
it never interested me. I just, it was
always like, I'm all set.
James Jay Edwards (09:47):
So when I mentioned the cat scene, you had
no idea what you were in for.
Jonathan Correia (09:51):
No, and I got to say my they're not my vibe I
like because I again, I don'twant to trash. Movies, just
because it's not my vibe,because they are well made. The
first one definitely had a lotof faults. The cat scene was
great. You know, I enjoyed thatone quite a bit. The first movie
just had that did that thingwhere there's, like, one thing
(10:13):
that just irks the shit out ofyou, story wise, and then it
like you can't stop, like,looping on it the rest of the
movie. And it's early ish in themovie after, you know, the smile
curses put on her and all that.
It's like the day after. Andshe, you know, has a
hallucination, and she accusesone of the patients of being
aggressive. And then thedoctors, like this man, has
never shown any sign ofaggression, ever, and whenever
(10:33):
he's been here, listen, I knowyou. I know you've, uh, been
pulling 80 hour work weeks forthe last few months and witness
someone slit their own throat infront of you yesterday. But you
accusing this man of beingaggressive today is a bit too
much. Maybe you should take sometime off. I was just sitting
there going giving that girl abreak. Man
Jacob Davidson (10:56):
like that is and her fiance is a dick. Her fiance
everyone
Jonathan Correia (11:01):
just like, everyone's just like, yeah,
someone slit their throat infront of you. It's fine, quit
being so weird. Okay? And it'slike, Guys, come on this. You
need to be buying her vacation.
Okay, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (11:12):
yeah, no. It does kind of lean pretty hard
into like, even though thisperson seen some crazy shit,
everybody just blows her offabout like, all the stuff that's
happening to her,
Jonathan Correia (11:22):
that being said, I like Smile 2, a lot
more. Yeah, that kind of stuffwasn't going on at the end of
the day. I like all both moviesare about, like, women not being
listened to, and, you know,trauma and all that Smile 2
James Jay Edwards (11:36):
had a different reason for for that,
because she was a recoveringaddict and alcoholic, so that
people were like, oh, did yourelapse? You know, kind of a
thing.
Jonathan Correia (11:47):
But also, she hid the fact that she witnessed
the guy, yeah, die in front ofher. No one knew about it. So
it's not like, everyone waslike, Yeah, we know you saw this
terrible thing. And it's like,no, no, no. Like, it's there's
legit. Like, why are you actingso like no one knew. So, like,
it made sense, and I like, shewas
James Jay Edwards (12:02):
at a drug dealer's house when it happened.
So exactly, you know it, she hada reason to hide it, because she
was, yeah, didn't want people toknow that she was buying Ambien.
But, yeah.
Jonathan Correia (12:13):
But also, that whole opening with with Kyle
Gallagher was just so good,
James Jay Edwards (12:20):
you know what? I saw him in the in the
credit list for Smile 2. I'mlike, okay, he's either gonna
die in the first scene or he'sgonna be the guy in the cabin
that they go to. How do we breakthis curse? You've lived through
it. And sure enough, there he isdying. And see, spoiler alert,
but not really. Yeah,
Jonathan Correia (12:39):
I had a lot of fun with it. Naomi Scott
absolutely ate it. I just, Ithink, at the end of it, because
I don't know, like, at the end Iwas, like, it was a good movie.
I just, I wasn't, like, super. Iwas, I was tired by the end of
it, like I do, like, if I feltlong
James Jay Edwards (12:58):
for me, it is a long movie. And also, when I
re watched Smile before smiletwo, yeah, I didn't realize
that. I think that one's an hour50, and to me, Smile feels like
a 90 minute movie. Whereas Smile2, it feels longer than it is,
whereas Smile I think, feltshorter to me at least. Yeah,
(13:19):
smile two is 127
Jonathan Correia (13:21):
minutes, so it's a little over two hours. I
mean, again, they're, they'regood movies. I'm gonna say
they're, they're, they're not myvibe. But Naomi Scott absolutely
ate it, especially when she'slike, full Sky Riley and is
like, doing the moves and stuff.
She was absolutely serving and Iloved every minute of it.
James Jay Edwards (13:38):
So are you Team Sky Riley or team Lady
Raven. Listen,
Jonathan Correia (13:42):
I need them to go on tour together. What was it
on letterboxd? Someone said,Yeah, Lady Raven and Sky Riley
cunty World Tour, when
James Jay Edwards (13:53):
I know they're the Taylor Swift
Paramore tour.
Jonathan Correia (13:58):
My main takeaway from it was, Oh, great.
Drag Queens can finally put awaytheir Pearl costumes, because
now they have a new screamingqueen to emulate. Because, boy,
she, she must have burst like athroat vessel with the screaming
on that one. But, yeah, it was,it was fun. Yeah, I'll watch a
Smile 3, but I want to seeParker fan do a non smile
(14:20):
movies. Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (14:20):
that's, that's exactly what I was about
to say. I'm like, you know, I, Ilike the smile movies, but I
really do want to see him comeup with another idea. Or, you
know, because, because the dudecan make a movie, yeah, I just
don't know if the Smilefranchise has the kind of legs,
you know, to support many moremovies after this.
Jonathan Correia (14:42):
Well, it's like a ROB Savage, you know,
where? It's like, All right,cool. Can you lean away from the
found footage stuff, host guy,yeah, where, yeah, the Host and
Dashccam. It's like, all right,you can, you can do about
footage stuff. Can you do nonand then he did The Boogeyman,
which was great, you know? Andit's like, awesome. So I'm
hoping, cool. Something similar.
He does a third and it's
James Jay Edwards (15:02):
something you can work outside of screening
horror Exactly, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (15:08):
and yeah, I haven't seen a lot of other new
stuff, although I have seen,like, some pre screening and
independent stuff, like therewas this movie, Watch Them Come
Blood that was made by some coworkers of mine at the
Cinematheque, Mike Cuenca andJoaquin Dominguez. And
James Jay Edwards (15:29):
what is it?
Watch Them Come Blood. Yeah,
Jacob Davidson (15:32):
watch them come blood. It's like a kind of a
grind house exploitationthrowback.
James Jay Edwards (15:36):
It sounds like, it sounds like a horror
porn movie. Well,
Jacob Davidson (15:40):
it is set at a brothel. Oh yeah, because it's
about, yeah, it's about thisgroup of friends are going on
road trip, and they discoverthis kind of underground sex
club at a brothel, and they gothere, and, of course, shit goes
sideways. I don't want to gettoo into it, because it, it goes
into some pretty crazy places.
But, yeah, it's just like anindependent horror movie made
(16:03):
for pretty minimal budget. And,yeah, I got this. I got to see
it at the Los Feliz theater acouple weeks back, and it's a
lot of fun. Like, it has, it haskind of a ensemble cast so like
there's a lot of intersectingcharacter, plot lines and arcs.
Yeah, it does kind of feel likea lost, like 70s, grimy, dry
(16:28):
drive in movie. And I think it'sgoing to be getting a release
sometime next year throughVinegar Syndrome.
Jonathan Correia (16:39):
Oh, yeah, awesome. I It's not particularly
horror, but, you know, it'sgenre related, but I saw Sean
Baker's Anora this past weekend.
Have you guys watched that
Jacob Davidson (16:50):
yet? No, it's, it's, it's, it's
Jonathan Correia (16:53):
going to be in the running for Best Picture.
It's really, really good. MickeyMadison as the title character
Anora is absolutely phenomenal.
Sean Baker just continues totell really great stories about
sex workers and shedding lightand humanity on them.
James Jay Edwards (17:12):
Sean Baker, the Florida Project guy, right,
yeah. Florida
Jonathan Correia (17:15):
project,
James Jay Edwards (17:16):
marine, yeah.
Jonathan Correia (17:17):
Red Rocket, yeah.
James Jay Edwards (17:19):
Oh yeah, he did. Red Rocket, yeah, okay,
Jonathan Correia (17:21):
this one's very much more in in the vibe of
Red Rocket. But it's because thewhole point is, you know, this
rich Russian teenager whoseparents get money from nefarious
dealings goes to this sex club,yeah, this stripper club where
he meets Ani, Anora and she it'sone of those, like, whirlwind
(17:47):
wet love affairs where it'slike, oh, we're, you want to be
my exclusive? Yeah, it's gonnacut, you know, like, almost
Pretty Woman But then, like, youknow, it goes kind of through
the ropes, but it doesn't doanything similar. Like, it's,
it's hard to describe withoutspoiling a whole lot, but
essentially, every single personin this movie is charming as
(18:07):
fuck it to some degree. It's,it's, it's really good, really
funny. And I got a shout outrespect to Mickey Madison, who,
I guess they did a screeningbefore it came out for sex
workers in New York, and at theend of the movie, they all
lifted up their legs and startedclapping with their heels. So I
highly recommend looking up thatfootage, because it's just a
(18:29):
bunch of like, really high heelswith like, neon, clear shoes,
just like clacking real fuckingloud with the legs over the
seats. It's so good.
James Jay Edwards (18:39):
I love these specialized screenings they do,
because there was a screening,and this wasn't the one that I
was at, but of Sing, sing, wherethey had all of these ex cons in
the audience. And then TheBikerider screen that I was at,
they invited a real motorcycleclub to it, yeah, and that was
(19:00):
really funny, because theylaughed at all the right places,
and it made it really enjoyable.
Like, you could, like, there's,there's a line in the movie
where, where they say somethinglike, so you take these guys who
don't follow rules, and you givethem a bunch of rules, and the
MC just all started cracking up.
And it was really funny. Butthen there was room at my
screening of Kneecap, and Ididn't know this at the time,
(19:24):
but I did hear people speakingIrish all around me. There was
some Irish coalition that theyinvited. So those specialized
screenings can be really fun. Ifyou are in the you're immersed
in this audience of people whoare going to relate to this
movie a lot harder than you do.
You know,
Jonathan Correia (19:41):
I wish I was at that Anoro screening, because
that would have been just suchimmaculate vibes and just ours.
Our screening was really great.
We sat at the AMC prime and citywalk in, like midday on a Sunday
or something, and no one elsewas in it. So we had like these
tall balcony seats, essentiallyhad the whole theater to
ourselves. It was great. I
James Jay Edwards (19:58):
had a screening of First Reformed to
myself once, these were themovie past days and and this
screening started, it was likethe last screening of the day,
and I'm sitting in there, andthen they start the movie, and
it's just me, and I'm like, Oh,this, these theater workers hate
me because, you know, I'm thereason they're staying. Yeah,
no, I
Jacob Davidson (20:18):
love when I got an entire theater and myself at
like, Alamo Drafthouse, like Ithe last time that happened was
I was the only person in theaudience for, like, an early
screening of quiet place. Well,the new one. What was it called
again? Oh, day one, day one.
Yeah, the day day one. I was theonly one there. So it was real
quiet, the
James Jay Edwards (20:39):
first quiet place. I saw it twice, and it
was a packed theater both times.
And I think you needed a packedtheater for that, because a
packed theater just completelydead silent. There's just this
energy to it, but, but day onewas a little different. It was,
it was not as it was not asdependent, yeah, it wasn't as
dependent on that silence, likespeaking of silence, have you
(21:04):
guys seen Azrael? Yes,
Jacob Davidson (21:08):
I saw an Alamo draft house last month. Yeah,
it's on
James Jay Edwards (21:11):
shudder now.
It kind of has A Quiet Placeconcept to it, because what do
they say at the at the verybeginning, something like,
there's, like, some kind ofapocalypse. And they're like,
people have the rapture, yeah,the rapture. There was a
rapture. And they're like,people have, have foregone
their, you know, the sin ofspeech, or something like that.
(21:31):
They have some dramatic way ofputting it. They have, you know,
given up talking. And SamaraWeaving is the main character.
And, um, oh, man. It's anothermovie where she ends up soaked
in blood. If you like, SamaraWeaving, drenched in blood.
Azrael is your bag.
Jacob Davidson (21:49):
We all do, yeah, we Yeah,
James Jay Edwards (21:51):
exactly. She basically there. There's, like,
some kind of it. The thing is,the lack of dialog makes it not
difficult to follow. But youreally have to pay attention,
because it's the opposite of,you know, show, don't tell.
They, I mean, they aredefinitely showing, not telling,
but it's the kind of thing like,oh, okay, wait a minute. And
plus, there's, there's basicallythe crux of it is there's this
(22:12):
cult that that is after her, andit alternates between her
running from them and hergetting revenge on them, you
know, at points, and there's oneof the cult members who,
especially when she's covered inblood, you're like, Okay, wait,
you know, from behind, you'relike, is that, you know, is that
the cult member, or is thattomorrow weaving, you know,
(22:32):
there's kind of that kind of adeal. But it's, it's, it's
pretty good, though. I mean, theway it's, it's real, it has that
quiet place tension. Because, Imean, the most dialog you have
is there's a guy that's speakingsome other language without
subtitles, so you don't knowwhat he's saying. But then he
puts on sniffing the tearsdriver's seat when they're
(22:54):
driving. So you're like, Oh, allright, hell yeah.
Jacob Davidson (22:56):
In terms of new stuff, I was fortunate enough to
see pre screening of the newWallace and Gromit movie,
Wallace & Gromit (23:02):
Vengeance Most Fowl, ah, featuring the return
of the greatest villain incinematic history, Feathers
McGraw,
Jonathan Correia (23:11):
I'm so jealous you got to see that in theaters.
Yeah,
Jacob Davidson (23:15):
no, because the thing is, it's a Netflix movie.
So I mean, maybe they'll do alimited run, you know, so they
can, you know, go for awards.
But, ya know, as lucky, theywere doing a pre screening over
at USC. And, I mean, it's a lotof fun because, you know, it's
like just taking a lot of thosetechniques from all the other
previous Walt and Gromit movies,and it just looks so seamless,
(23:36):
and had, like, even biggerstunts and misadventures. And,
yeah, no, it's funny too,because, like, the wrong
trousers, the one with feathersMcGraw was like, 30 years ago.
Yeah, so it's wild to see kindof a sequel to that after all
this time. But yeah, I love thatevil penguin
Jonathan Correia (24:00):
the Wallace and Gromit movies are just
absolute clutch greatest. Yeah,well, Curse of the Were-Rabbit
was absolutely phenomenal. Andall the shorts, I mean, you
can't beat Wallace and Gromit.
That's just, fact
James Jay Edwards (24:13):
is that the same guy who did Creature
Comforts, yes, Hardman, yeah,it's the same style animation.
Yeah, I remember that from theold sick and twisted the mic and
spikes sick and twisted thecreature comforts that would
just, they would show that, itseemed like every year, and it
would always slay. I
Jonathan Correia (24:34):
love creature comforts. It's just them
rambling stuff going on in thebackground, but
James Jay Edwards (24:41):
also like, like, the lions laying on a on a
branch that you could see, it'sbolted the wall, and he's like,
oh, I need the blue skies andthe water to swim.
Jacob Davidson (24:52):
It's funny. I just saw Curse of the
Were-Rabbit for the first timeat the out at the new Beverly
last month, too. So. So I'veseen both theatrical Wallace and
Gromits, and I do have fondmemories of Wallace and Gromit
too, because, like, when I was akid, you know, like they toured
those movie those shorts, and,like, I'd see them at, think it
was the Boston Children's Museumor Museum of Science, where they
(25:15):
do stuff about claymation andthat, and that stuff just blew
my mind as a kid.
Jonathan Correia (25:20):
As a kid, it was the Wallace and Gromit tapes
and any Eyewitness VHS tapes mylocal library had, were
constantly on loan for me.
Remember eyewitness? Ah, theyhave all those on YouTube now.
But speaking of Aardman, Aardmanalso, they're having a good year
because they had their ChickenRun sequel come out. They Oh
yes, they had this, and theyjust premiered earlier this
(25:41):
month, a two minute shortcelebrating the 10th anniversary
of Over the Garden Wall as well.
Oh
Jacob Davidson (25:50):
yeah, yeah. That was really good. It
Jonathan Correia (25:53):
was phenomenal. I love that.
Patrick. Michael was like, yeah,the original show should have
been all stop motion. And it'slike, well, yeah, yeah, you
know, Captain hindsight, 10years later, you know, but Over
the Garden Wall is still amasterpiece. And before
Halloween, we got to attend aThe Blasting Company is the band
that did all the music for it.
So for the first time ever, theyhad the entirety of the people
(26:15):
who performed on that soundtrackperform it live. And they also
had an orchestra, and it wasincredible. It was interesting
seeing people jam out to thatstyle of like jazz live. So that
was interesting. But yeah,special guests through the
wazoo, including Elijah Wood,came out and read some bad
(26:38):
poetry for everybody. Over theGarden Wall 10 years still
strong of being the best cozyfall watch you could possibly
do. God, I just want thosecomics to go back in print.
They're so expensive.
James Jay Edwards (26:53):
Did either you guys watch Woman of the
Hour? No, Netflix it. It ispretty good. It's interesting.
It's Anna Kendrick. She stars init, but she also directed it.
And it is, you know, the story,it's the, it's the story of
Rodney Alcala, the The DatingGame killer, yeah, and Anna
(27:14):
Kendrick plays the, the theBachelorette, who is on the the
dating game with him. But italso goes back, and it's more
about him than her, because itgoes back and it shows some of
his killings. And I did a littlebit of research, and it looks
like it looks like that part ofit seems kind of real. There's
(27:36):
one thing in it that it thatsee, that seems like it was
dramatized, and that's in theaudience the dating game. There
is a woman who recognizes him asthe guy who she thinks raped and
killed her friend, you know. Sothere's that little subplot, but
it's a, it's a pretty well madelittle, I mean, it's a, it's a
(27:57):
compact little movie, you know.
I mean, I think it's like anhour 35 so it's not like super
short, but it is. It's real.
It's an easy watch. I mean,anything with Anna Kendrick is
an easy watch, really, but theguy who plays Rodney Alcala is
pretty creepy. He's like, he'sand it goes through a few of his
victims, including one who gotaway from him, and it was like
(28:22):
his undoing was this one thatrun away, that got away from
him, yeah? But, um, it's apretty cool little, I think it's
her directorial debut. I don'tknow maybe she's done something
in the past, but it's, I
Jonathan Correia (28:34):
think it's her feature, yeah, maybe
James Jay Edwards (28:36):
the feature, yeah, it's a pretty strong
little, little movie, though. Imean, it's, it's cool. It's on
Netflix.
Jonathan Correia (28:43):
I'm very interested in it because, you
know, especially growing up andhearing the stories and then
finding the clips of the of theepisode where he's on. It's,
it's always creepy to watch,because he is very like, the
actual guy on The Dating Show ispretty charming. But there is
this, like, little like, yeah,you know. And they
James Jay Edwards (29:01):
show that because, because they go into
sections where, like, wherethey're not taping, like,
commercials and stuff, wherehe's interacting with the other
two bachelors and, and you'relike, Okay, something is totally
off about this dude, you know.
And, but his answers to herquestions are all the right
answers, you know. You can seewhy he won it. It's, yeah, he,
he turns it on and off prettyeffortlessly. It's, it's, it's
(29:26):
pretty crazy. But yeah, there's,there's some Ted Bundy in there
where he's just, like, supercharming. And you can see the
audience, you know, falling inlove with him, just, you know,
although you know. And this inin real life, too. The woman who
won it, she, she didn't go onthe date with him because she
thought that he was creepy. Soit's like, and it shows like,
them kind of getting a drinkafter the show, and you could
(29:49):
see where she's getting creepedout by him, you know, it kind of
goes into that more. It's like,okay, this is why, you know,
this is why she's not going onthe date. With him, because he,
because he's a creeper. Yeah,no, I'll
Jonathan Correia (30:02):
definitely have to check that one out.
Let's,
James Jay Edwards (30:04):
let's take a trip into Correia's Book Nook.
Correia's Book Nook. Oh, man,yeah, because, because, because,
with guest star Jay, because, Ihave a couple of a couple things
I read. One of them is thenovelization of X. A24 is doing
vintage horror novelizations ofthe X trilogy, and the first X
(30:28):
is out, and it, you know, it haslike the vintage, you know,
cover and stuff like that. Andit is, it's pretty much the
story of X, but there's more ofPearl in it. And it makes me
wonder, because they say thatthis was novelized from is that
a word novelized? It was, it waswritten off of the original
script. And it makes me wonderif there was more of Pearl in
(30:51):
the original script that theykind of cut because it, I mean,
I like the movie the way it is,because it leaves Pearl as more
mysterious. But this one thebook, it tells more about her
and like and it shows a littlemore about her obsession with
Maxine and, you know, and someof the killings it does from her
(31:11):
point of view, instead of just,you know, from the victims point
of view. It's pretty interestingthough. It's a, it's a, it's a
cool little read and a anotherbook nook entry, I think I've
mentioned in the past. One of myfavorite podcasts is the Mr.
Ballen podcast, he put out ait's called MrBallen Presents:
(31:32):
Strange, Dark & Mysterious thegraphic stories. And it's like a
graphic it's a graphic novel of,you know, five or six of the
stories he's told on thepodcast, but then he had an
artist, you know, draw it outand, and it's a graphic novel
about him, and that is a lot offun to see the these stories,
you know, brought to life. Imean, on the page, not, you
(31:55):
know, it's not like a movie,it's, you know, a comic. But
that's, that's really fun to seethat. And the final Correia's
Book Nook from guest star Jay isI've been reading, and I'm only
about maybe a third of the waythrough it. It's called Bad Man.
It's by Dathan Auerbach. Is hisname, and you'll know him better
(32:16):
as 1000 vultures who wrote thatpen pal creepy pasta that then
got published as a book.
Remember pen pal?
Jonathan Correia (32:24):
I think so.
Yeah, yeah, pen pal, I
James Jay Edwards (32:26):
loved. And a Bad Man is it's basically about
this dude whose little brothergoes missing, and he's looking
for his little brother. And, youknow, nefarious things happen,
and I'm only about a third ofthe way through, so you know,
I'll keep you posted on how thatone goes, but so far so good.
It's, it's shaping up to be apretty good there's a cardboard
(32:48):
baler that they keep focusing onthat I'm positive is going to
come back to literally bitesomeone. Well, it's
Jonathan Correia (32:57):
the classic, you know, theater line. You
introduce a cardboard baler inthe first act. It's got to be
used in the third right?
James Jay Edwards (33:03):
Well, it's also a film school thing. It's
like, if you show a phone inthis scene, it better ring,
Jonathan Correia (33:08):
right?
Exactly. No, no. I plan onbringing back Correia's Book
Nook more frequently. I'm just,I have this problem of buying
books and then starting to readthem. So I'm like, a quarter of
the way of, like, five or sixbooks, and my ADHD won't let me
finish anything, but manhunt isgetting a television adaptation
from Lily Wachowski, whichpreviously recommended Correia's
(33:31):
Book Nook entry Gretchen FelkerMartin's manhunt, the post
apocalyptic trans story. That'samazing. I've been saying from
the since I started reading thatI need a Last of Us level
adaptation of this book. I neverthought it would happen. So
it's, it's, I'm so pumped forit. I'm so excited. The other
(33:51):
thing that I'm still excitedover is the day before
Halloween, Halloween eve, toeat because devils night, yeah,
devils night wentto a 10 year anniversary
screening of The Guest nice,which is amazing, because the
guests never really had atheatrical run. So I'm really
glad that it's getting more Ithink it played. They said it
(34:14):
was 54 screens when it firstcame out, and
Jacob Davidson (34:18):
I was at one of them. I was at the Cinefamily
premiere.
Jonathan Correia (34:21):
Oh, that's awesome. But seeing that with
like, a crowd was so amazing,because I've gone through so
many different phases with thatmovie and and viewing it as,
like, when I first saw it, Iwas, I was sitting there, like,
this is a serious movie. It's aIt's Captain America slasher,
you know, and I almost got noneof the humor of it. And then,
like subsequent viewings, gotmore and more of the humor, and
(34:44):
seeing it with a crowd andeveryone laughing at all the
ridiculousness was amazing. But,yeah, it's funny. But what made
this screening special? It wasover at Vidiots, and their
theater was they had two of theproducers there who have come to
previous screenings, as well asJay is already smiling. He knows
what I'm about to say. My man,Dan Stevens,
Jacob Davidson (35:04):
oh yeah, your idol.
Jonathan Correia (35:07):
Oh idol.
That's putting it lightly. Getat awesome
James Jay Edwards (35:11):
picture out there. You should post it to our
socials of Correia in hisskeleton sweat suit with Dan
Stevens, Yes,
Jacob Davidson (35:21):
Dan Stevens wearing a hoodie.
Jonathan Correia (35:23):
No, he was wearing a Roswell t shirt. Yeah,
it was. It was really funny,because I wear that skeleton, I
will take any excuse to dress upas a skeleton, and so Dan loved
it, by the way, just in case youthought, but no, immediately, I
was like, I don't know what thefuck I'm gonna say to Dan, but
he was wearing a Roswell tshirt. I was like, dude, have
you ever heard of the alienWatchtower in Colorado? He's
(35:45):
like, Well, I'm like, it's onthe border of New Mexico and
Colorado, and it's this weirdspiritual place. He was like,
Oh, shit, I have. I've beenthere. I was like, me too. So we
geeked out over weird alien hotspots for a minute. And yeah, I
also, in that photo, you'llnotice I have a comically large
fanny pack filled with candy. Sogave him some candy and left.
(36:05):
But yeah, no, it was a it was anamazing screening. And again,
going back and revisiting thatmovie, it's fucking hilarious.
Dan Stevens even said he's like,yeah, no, it's a comedy from the
get go. First of all, casting meas a super soldier is inherently
funny and ridiculous. But onething I never really picked up
(36:25):
on, because, again, I keepsaying every time I watch it,
it's something new to watch it,as he brought up that for him,
and what him and Adam Windgardtalked about was that it was a
queer love story, because DanStevens character, you know, he
went to war with their son, withthe family's son, and so he was
coming back to legitimately takecare of them and make sure that
(36:47):
they're all right after thedeath of their son. And it
wasn't until his brain washprogramming kicked in was he
actually, like, you know, akiller. And it just brought a
whole new perspective to the tothe story, because there were a
few parts, like, why did he helpthe dad, if it didn't help the
mission? You know what I mean,things of that nature. So it's,
(37:09):
it's such a great movie and sofun to go back to. And, God, I
hope they do a sequel someday.
It would be great.
Jacob Davidson (37:16):
I was gonna say, I actually re watched the movie
too at Alamo, because it was thenew 4k restoration they were
putting down. And, yeah, well, Imean, technically, there is a
sequel, because they put out thesequel soundtrack, where they
made us soundtrack for thehypothetical guest two. And
there's some kind of hints andpieces for what they would go
for. Like, I think it would belike David fighting some kind of
(37:40):
fundamentalist religious cult.
So, you know, we can, we canimagine,
Jonathan Correia (37:46):
I know I have, I have that vinyl, and I sit
there and I just imagine what'shappening. Mostly it's just
imagining a shirtless whichthose scenes killed. Let me tell
you, if you, if you're alistener of the podcast, if you
think I'm thirsty for DanStevens, Nah, dude. Half that
crowd at the screening werewomen who were thirsty. Let me
(38:10):
the lady next to me was was sofunny. She had a bunch of things
for Dan to sign. And as soon ashe came out of that shirtless
scene, was just like you wouldhave thought the Beatles came
out, and it was the 60s, andwhen he was carrying the kegs,
everybody fucking lost it. Ohyeah, it was great. Yeah, that's
James Jay Edwards (38:27):
funny.
Speaking of Dan Stevens, Iactually caught up with Cuckoo,
Jonathan Correia (38:33):
his least sexiest role of the year.
James Jay Edwards (38:36):
You know, it's funny. I and I even texted
you guys, or, you know, when itwas happening, I was getting
huge Human Centipede vibes fromit. And Dan Stevens was the
freaking creepy Doctor dude. Iwas like, this is this is going
Human Centipede, um, cuckoo wasnot what I thought it would be.
(38:58):
I mean, you guys know me, Idon't watch trailers or, you
know, look at stuff. So it wasnot what I thought it would be.
It was, I loved Hunter Schaefer.
She's note perfect in this. Ohyeah, and it is. It's just Yeah.
I mean, I think that you alreadytalked enough about it. I can.
I'm just gonna give you know, mymy thumbs up to it. I thought
(39:20):
Cuckoo is was great. And
Jacob Davidson (39:25):
I'm actually going to another screening of
Cuckoo at the new Beverly nextweek, as they're doing as a
double feature with Creepers,aka Phenomena, the Dario Argento
movie, also in the Swiss Alpswith Jennifer Connelly. But
Jonathan Correia (39:39):
are they showing the the Creepers
version, the American version ofit. It's
Jacob Davidson (39:44):
the Creepers version because I think it's the
only 35 millimeter prints, and Ithink the only like English
print, which, yeah, I mean, Iprefer the Phenomenal cut. But
still, I've seen the Creeperscut a couple times, and it's
truncated, but still fun. Yeah.
Jonathan Correia (40:00):
I was gonna say as a double feature with
that, I'm sure it'll be fun,especially if you already have
seen phenomenon a bunch of time.
I just recently, yeah,phenomenon for the first time,
so I can't imagine what thecreepers version is, but as a
double feature like that, thatsounds like a great time. Oh
Jacob Davidson (40:15):
yeah, no, I'm very excited for that. It's also
my favorite Argentina movie, andI love cuckoo and yeah, just
swiss alps are creepy. What's upwith Switzerland?
James Jay Edwards (40:26):
Let's wrap this one up with this episode up
with this. In case you couldn'ttell, this has just been our
Halloween hangover episode,because we had a guest fall
through. So you have to dealwith us just talking, and not to
tip our hand, because we stillwant to try to get this guest on
there. But Jacob and I both sawStreet Trash, the remake of
(40:49):
street trash. So let's end withthat. What do you think the
sequel? Is it a sequel or, yeah,I guess it is. It's
Jonathan Correia (40:55):
a sequel.
Yeah, it's
James Jay Edwards (40:56):
it's not a very faithful remake of it is.
So yeah, let's call it a C, whatdo you think, Jacob,
Jacob Davidson (41:02):
Oh, I loved it.
James Jay Edwards (41:03):
It is so
Jacob Davidson (41:04):
I thought it was so much. Yeah, it was so bizarre
and brutal and, oh, is it gooey?
It's totally
James Jay Edwards (41:11):
your thing. I remember, as I was watching it,
I'm like, I'll do this is up.
Jacob zali, this is, like, thisis like, Astron six, you know,
style, you know, squirtingladder, yeah,
Jacob Davidson (41:22):
yeah. And I do appreciate them elevating the
story, because I've seen theoriginal Street Trash and, I
mean, it's fun. It's just, it'snot, not a whole lot of plot,
except, you know, like all thesehomeless people drinking 10 to
five Viper and melting down andall this weird stuff in New
York, but this, it's like, it'slike a social satire, because
(41:44):
it's set in South Africa, whenthe homeless population is
reaching all time high, and thegovernment basically makes this
bio weapon to melt down thehomeless for ecological
purposes.
James Jay Edwards (41:56):
They're getting rid of the homeless
problem. Yeah, by melting them,yeah,
Jacob Davidson (42:00):
it's a war on poverty, and they're gonna kill
the powers the impoverished.
James Jay Edwards (42:04):
I love what Correia talked about him when,
when he did, like the fullreview on it. Um, Sucko little
blue guy. He had one of the bestline. And this is actually
Director Ryan Krueger did thevoice. He had one of the best
lines. He's high is a giraffe'spussy. And that's high
Jonathan Correia (42:23):
I said in my review. I can't say what he was
saying. And here's Jay,
James Jay Edwards (42:28):
yeah, that's one of the cleaner lines of this
guy's
Jacob Davidson (42:30):
dialog. So much foul language that
James Jay Edwards (42:35):
is now in my my everyday vernacular, higher
than a giraffe's pussy.
Jonathan Correia (42:42):
I clipped out my review and sent it to Ryan
and Justin, and I got a noteback from Justin that just said,
great review. Thanks formentioning the penis
decapitation.
Jacob Davidson (42:53):
Oh yeah, slammed in a gate door.
Jonathan Correia (42:55):
That's probably my favorite note I've
gotten from someone about areview. But yeah, no, it's
definitely a sequel, becausethey, they take the booze from
the first movie, and that's howthey make the weapon. They
vaporize it so that it could beinhaled. But again, yeah, it's
it's incredible, becauseoriginal Street Trash, yeah,
it's fun. It's gooey, butthere's a lot to be desired when
(43:16):
it comes to like, characterdevelopment and story. And this,
Ryan Kruger's Street Trash justmakes up for that. And tenfold,
what like the most charminggroup of hobos you'll ever see.
I know.
James Jay Edwards (43:27):
I know. And what is it? What's the girl's
name? Alex, yeah, yeah. She was,she was way too clean to be a
real homeless person. I'm like,no, no, yeah. That was pretty
funny. The the little hobo tribethey had,
Jonathan Correia (43:45):
but did you guys expect to tear up because I
teared up during the attempt atresuscitation scene?
James Jay Edwards (43:53):
Yeah, it was funny, because you would, you
would prep me for it. He's doingCPR, do I?
Jonathan Correia (44:00):
Yeah, so funny. But like, also, I'm like,
James Jay Edwards (44:02):
This is so sad. Well, I I kind of got teary
eyed during the last guardiansof Galaxy movie with when
they're trying to save rocket.
I'm like, I did not have gettingall emotionally attached to a CG
raccoon on my bingo card. Buthere I am, you know,
Jonathan Correia (44:19):
and then 2024 it's getting teary eyed over,
uh, decapitated
James Jay Edwards (44:23):
corpse, yep, which was not CG, which is
beautiful,
Jonathan Correia (44:27):
full practical, yeah. And, oh
James Jay Edwards (44:30):
my gosh, and there is so many the effects
alone are worth it, you know,just like splattering faces and,
oh, let's call this one anepisode, mainly because I have,
I have a heart out here in asecond. So this one's all this
short episode is because of me.
It's all good, but we, yeah, ifthe Street Trash review, we're
(44:53):
still trying to get a guest inthat. I'm gonna blow the whistle
on it. We're trying to get RyanKruger.
Jonathan Correia (45:00):
Sure. Oh, we're gonna get Ryan. Ryan's
coming on. It's gonna happen. Idon't care when. There you go.
So she's decided we're gettingthem.
James Jay Edwards (45:08):
You have that to look forward to sometime in
the next few episodes. But fornow, this is our Halloween
hangover. Hope you guys likehearing us talk, because that's
what you got. Our theme song isby restless spirits to go check
them out. And our artwork is byChris Fisher, so go check him
out. And you can check us out onall the socials, under
@eyeonhorror, or at ihorror.comwhich is the website we all call
(45:32):
home. And we'll see in a coupleweeks, possibly with Ryan Kruger
or some other fun guest that wehave coming up that I also don't
want to jinx, but one that I'mreally excited about.
Jonathan Correia (45:46):
It's gonna be fun. Yeah, we have a fun few
episodes. Yeah, we
James Jay Edwards (45:49):
do. We have a few good episodes lined up, but
you'll have to wait for that. Sowe'll see you in a couple weeks.
So for me, James, Jay Edwards,
Jacob Davidson (45:57):
I'm Jacob Davison,
Jonathan Correia (45:58):
And I'm Jonathan Correia.
James Jay Edwards (46:00):
Keep your eye on horror.
