Episode Transcript

(00:32):
None. Hey everybody, what's going on?
Welcome to big dumb Monsters. I'm Chris.
I'm Nick. And we are just beating the crap
out of ourselves cinematically this week.

(00:52):
We also beat the crap out of this movie.
Because it deserves it. Quite frankly.
It's terrible. Yeah, we are watching the subpar
follow up to truly one of my favorite movies of all time, a
cult classic Return of the Living Dead.
We are watching Return of the Living Dead Part 2.
I really wish we didn't. Yeah, and as I said in the in

(01:15):
the tagline for this episode on the live stream, it certainly is
number 2. It's bad.
Fucking it's not good. We don't enjoy it.
We let you know about that in detail.
Yeah, no and no uncertain terms.This movie sucks.
Yeah. So here we go.
I hope you at least enjoy our DIS enjoyment.

(01:39):
I'm sure that's a word somewhere.
Our demolishing of this. Movie.
Yeah, yeah, that of Return of the Living Dead Part 2 on big
dumb monsters. Enjoy the show.

(02:27):
Hey. Hello everyone.
Oh, the mics are working and everything.
Yeah, no, I I'm pretty sure I fixed all the issues we were
having with the turning on and off.
What's going on? I should probably start the
movie. Should Well, do we have to?
Do we really have to? Were you prepared for the level

(02:49):
of disappointment? I was not.
I told you it was going. To be like, I knew going in that
this movie was not going to be good.
I knew that. For the record, we're watching
Return of the Living Dead Part 2.
Yeah, I knew the movie was not good.
I did not know that this movie was a toilet abortion.

(03:12):
Yeah, yeah, I know it. I I'm pretty sure I gave Return
of Living Dead A10 on this show.Yeah, it's one of your favorite
movies. Like I think, I think you did
give it a 10. Yeah, And I was high on it.
I think I gave it maybe like an 888 and a half fucking.
Love that movie. It's so good.
Yeah, it's fun. This is not fun.

(03:32):
It's not. Yeah, it the comedy is all like
forced and like. It's the same comedy, just told
in a way poorer fashion. Yeah, yeah, it's ripping itself
off, and not even in a good way.It's not fun.
No, it's such a, it's such an amazing drop off from 1:00 to

(03:53):
2:00. Well, they were almost telling
the same fucking story. Well down to even having the
same 2 characters that make maincharacters.
Do the same thing. Yeah, what the fuck happened?
I don't know, It is astounding to me that this movie is this
bad. Yeah.

(04:14):
Like, did you not even watch thefirst movie?
Did you not understand? And not only, like, you know,
the comedy doesn't hold up. The makeup is shitty fucking in
this movie. It's all like it all looks like
just Halloween masks they boughtat a fucking store somewhere.
It looks like puppets, a lot of it.
Like it's just puppet like, not even like good looking puppets,
just like dry ass latex puppets.All of this latex is dry.

(04:38):
Yeah, yes, yes, yeah. And I like, I didn't want to be
the weird guy that says like, this whole thing looks dry.
No, but it is. Yeah.
They're fucking suck. I just, I don't, I don't get it.
I don't get it. Yeah.
Like you, you had OK, so I don'treturn of the living Dead is

(05:07):
like that punk rock, like cool cousin that you have like, you
know, like you're in the, you'reinto the like the Super grizzly
serious zombie movies and like that's over there.
That's like your rad cousin who you like to have come over every
now and then 'cause that dude loves to party, right?

(05:28):
This movie is like one of the people in his group of friends
that you can't fucking stand. You know what, I, I thought you
were going. I think you were going this way
with this. I'll take it another way.
Yeah. Like you were saying, like, this
is like the punk band, like thatyou really, really love.
Yeah. You know, this, like this band

(05:49):
fucking speaks to me. I love every album.
I love every song. Yeah.
And then one day they become popular and then, like, you
know, they get mainstream and then, like, they're not as good.
But then, like three years afterthey get big, like another band
comes out that's just ripping them off.

(06:10):
Yeah. And like, that's what this is
that that band that's like, you know, just playing off of like
what was popular a couple years ago.
Yeah. Yeah, fucking hate it.
It's like fucking. It's the worst.
It's it's the worst of everything from the first movie.
Yeah, yeah. Like I'll give you the some of

(06:33):
the music in this was awesome. So like some of the needle drops
were good, like a couple of Robert Palmer tracks.
Like OK, I'm about that. That's cool.
Every now and then you would getlike a cool like gore scene or a
cool like a bit of makeup. But that's like little bits of

(06:55):
movie in between this just like horseshit of people just
screaming this this entire movieis just people yelling and like
I was getting ear fatigued by the end of the fucking movie and
like I was so. Sufferably whining and fucking
screaming. Yeah, yeah, like the redhead is
unbearable in this movie. He's bad.

(07:19):
He was I I would say he was worse than the first one.
The red like, oh, the girl. Yeah, yeah, the yeah, I was
like, oh, this is the Paramore music video.
Yeah. No, she was bad.
The the two returning characters.
The younger guy was better in this one than he was in the
first one, but the fucking olderdude, I wanted him to die

(07:41):
immediately. Immediately.
Yeah, he. Just like was playing a
caricature of his character fromthe first movie.
Yeah, but the entire time he's on screen after after the first
zombie show up, his entire existence on screen is just
going. Watching and oh.

(08:01):
No, yeah, he's like, God fuckingstop.
This kid was fucking annoying too in the beginning where like
he's like he's like he's clearlysaying written lines like a kid
would never say any like any of these things.
Yeah, did you ever notice that kid?

(08:23):
Like child actors in the 80s were either astoundingly good
and brilliant or the worst ever.Nobody in this is astoundingly
brilliant. I'd say it all boils down to
cocaine, and I'll let you pick who's who on this one.
Is better the ones with or the ones without?

(08:45):
Yeah, yeah, like, I'm even honestly struggling to think of
something good to pick. I mean, like, you can tell the
budget and like production is isis of a higher standard, but
everything else is fucking terrible.
Like a much worse. Standard.
They started off bad. The script is terrible.
The plot of this movie is trash.It's like the worst rehash of

(09:09):
the first movie. It's almost like they tried to
do the evil dead thing but like had no idea what they were
doing. He's like, they're trying to
make this jokier than the first one but also not have any of the
like offset shit. Like, none of the horror, none

(09:31):
of the scares. Like they just try to write on
the jokes, basically. Yeah, The first movie, while it
has funny parts, it also has terrifying parts.
Yeah. This does not.
It's all just goofy fucking shitover and over.
Yeah, and this version of Tar Man is God awful.
Yeah, it's, it's the same, it's the same actor, but just the

(09:54):
makeup of it, like it just looksterrible.
It looks like he's wearing a Halloween mask.
Yeah, again, it's it's down to the shitty.
Like, yeah, I don't know if it'sjust shitty Latex work or what
or what. What, Fuck it.
It just doesn't look good. I think that's the like the the
crux of the horror situation in this movie, is it None of it

(10:14):
looks good. Yeah, you're like, I was
thinking as I was watching this.You're there's never a scene
where you're actually scared of the zombie threat.
No, they're all busy doing like pratfalls and fucking shit like.
That also like, OK, here's the thing, I understand if you take
a movie and you are in a genre, right?

(10:37):
So we're in a zombie horror genre and you want to fuck with
the rules? Go ahead.
I love it. Just do something different.
That's fine. First one did that and but it
stuck to its own rules. So where like the zombies would
talk? Well, yeah, they would talk, but
it was all like a few phrases and it sounded really painful

(11:00):
and you couldn't it, it wasn't like they were holding a
conversation in this one. You get some of that, you get
the send send, more police like stuff like that.
Zombies driving a fucking army Jeep around.
Driving, yes, driving a Jeep, running around holding full on
conversations, dropping gag lines.

(11:23):
Like what are we doing here? Like do you want this to be
scary or do you want this to be a piece of shit?
Because obviously you're not trying that hard to make a good
movie. You've got piece of shit.
You've got piece of shit. Yeah, I, it is, it is like like

(11:45):
in in terms of movie making, like in, you know, you know, in
the not serious world, it is tragic that the first movie is
so good and then this is so likethe complete opposite.
Even even if you don't like the content of the first one and the
fact that it it drifts so far from like your normal zombie

(12:08):
movie. Like if you like hard and fast,
this is what a zombie is. Slow shambling.
Zombie, right? Right.
Then that's fine, but you can also take away a lot of other
good shit from that first movie.Like the comedy ratio was good,
the jokes were funny, the gore was good.

(12:30):
You know, the the monster designs were fine.
You had tone, you had structure.Like this is just a fucking
mess. Yeah, like I really hate to keep
shitting on. It I don't because it sucks.
Yeah, I love the first movie so much, but like, this is just

(12:51):
what the fuck are you doing? This, this felt like such a cash
grab and I don't know if that's the case.
I don't know if people. There have been that much cash
to grab from the first return ofthe living dead.
I mean, it was a popular movie. True.
No, I don't think we have like Dan O'bannon involved.

(13:14):
It was. A.
No, not at all. Another like yeah.
That's probably probably why it suffers so bad.
Yes, this movie can all be shit.Is that a poop emoji?
That's a poop emoji. No, there were times when like I
was like, OK, it's about to get no, no, no, like I even like,

(13:35):
like, was I too harsh and judging it?
Nope, no, no, it's terrible. Yeah.
But even the stuff where they're, they're like, OK,
they're ramping up. Like things are going to get
cool. They would do a cool thing and
then just drag it along, like way too fucking long.
Like like where they're electrocuting them all in that
Causeway. Cool.

(13:57):
OK, yeah, you, you set up a trap, you fucked it up a little
bit and you fixed it. Like that is your drama.
And then you get the payoff. They're killing all the zombies.
The fucking electrocution scene went on for like what, 5
minutes? It went on for a good while.
Yeah, and then you have to throwa fucking Michael Jackson
thriller zombie into it. Well.

(14:18):
That's the I was going to mention this too about the
makeup. They're all Thriller zombies in
this like they all look like thezombies directly from Thriller.
Like in the first one, you have zombies from like different
eras. Like some of them are basically
skeletons, you know? Yeah.
Where in this one they're they all look like the thriller
zombie basically with, you know.Pretty much at.
At one point you have like one of them wearing like World War

(14:40):
One, like, you know, yeah. Uniform.
Yeah. Like he should not be a fresh
looking corpse. Yeah.
Like, you know, shit like that just annoyed the shit out of me.
Like, yeah. Oh, and when they all, like, all
of them stop and start watching the fucking aerobics, like, come
on, it's not that funny. It's not.

(15:00):
Yeah. Yeah, it is like, oh man, this
is. Yeah.
I am seriously struggling to sayanything.
Good. And like, and the
inconsistencies in all the makeup was driving me crazy too,
because like sometimes you wouldsee one that was like, oh,
that's that's cool that I like that.

(15:21):
And then the next one is just like a dude in a rubber mask.
There wasn't there was also likeyou could tell maybe like 3 or 4
like principal zombies and then like they would recycle them.
Even there's one, I don't know if it's just generic, like, you
know, generic zombie face. I don't want to be racist

(15:41):
against zombies, you know, I don't know if he just you know,
they all just look alike. Again, trying to be racist
against zombies, but like I would like I just you know, we
just saw that guy. I think he got like, you know,
stabbed in the head like 1 sceneago and it's it's the same
actor, like same makeup, same yeah costume like.

(16:02):
Who T JS in the house? Yeah.
This made $30 million, Yeah. Worldwide.
You've got to be shitting me with a. $112,000 budget.
No. No the.
First one did OK. Yeah, that I was.
Refereed. All right, Yeah, he.
Asked what kind of money? OK, so the first one was made

(16:25):
for 100 and something 1000 dollars $12,000 and it made 30
million that I understand that makes total sense.
That, that I can live with. Yeah.
This making $30 million. No, this making $112,000 that I
believe. Yeah, on a $30 million budget,
yeah. You should also mention we're

(16:46):
drinking a little this evening A.
Little a little. I'm just sipping this because
this is she's a spicy batch. Yeah, yeah.
I, I, we, I, I bought some Hades.
Well, that we were at the Bull and Bee the other night.
Bought little Hades. Art is not back.
Art We Nope. We got him out of Secot on the
condition that he marched in themilitary parade this past

(17:08):
weekend. So he was down there.
Did you actually read that shit yesterday?
Have have been no kings but today we got our queen back.
No hit the hit the button that says Art Cam.
Do I watch it? Yeah, it'll be fine.

(17:28):
No. Aw balls.
All right, never mind. There we go.
Yeah, that's fine. So you know, we we do have an
actual date on when Arthur will return.
Maybe. Yeah, again, you will be amazed
at the places that boy can find to hide cocaine on his body.

(17:51):
I've seen it. I used to live with him.
Yeah, but pending no more smuggling attempts, we'll have
him back in a couple of in a couple of weeks.
Producer Monique. Yeah.
So not that you will be surprised, but this film itself
only grossed 9205 dollars. 9000.Yeah, I, I can read.

(18:15):
Yeah, I, I sit here now before you.
This is, you know, I'm not even speaking for the Fences.
We could make a movie that wouldmake more than $9000.
Two days it cost. It cost 4 million for them to
make this movie I guess. What?
$9000. What?

(18:39):
AI is really you know. It ruins everything that
information I mean it had. Budget was 6,000,000 and it made
9.2. Still gross.
It made money. Yeah.
No, for this to be in the black is just offensive, Yeah.

(19:03):
Yeah, man, Like seriously as much as I the.
Brooder film made more than that.
I mean, technically, yeah, because it kept us in the war
and made all those contractors way more money for that much.
Longer. So yeah, I guess we can.
We can commence with the ratings.

(19:24):
Not that we're fucking going to aim high on this one.
You. Oh, you want to?
Do you want to? Do you really want to stop
shitting on this so soon? What else do we have to say
other than it sucks because it. I mean, we could go.
We could go fucking scene for scene.
Exactly. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you just reminded methe scene for scene thing.

(19:45):
We we will give a shout out to the Let's Talk Turkeys podcast,
which we just did a guest on this last.
Weekend. That was fun.
Yeah, thanks again to Movie Missfor having us on.
We will let everybody know when that's going to be coming out.
So watch the space for more infobecause we did.
We watched scene for scene. That's why I remembered that.
Yeah, probably explain. We watched scene for scene deep

(20:06):
rising which oh boy I as bad as that was better than this.
Way better than this I I will watch that 100 times before I
watch this again and and really surprising was not that bad.
Yeah. That was not that good.

(20:29):
Christ the fact that this has a 5.7 on IMDb is fucking.
That's offensive. Like I feel like I need to call,
I don't know, a social worker orlike somebody needs help
authorities, I need an adult. Someone should be in handcuffs.

(20:52):
Could have been deep blue sea. I like deep blue sea better than
deep rising, I'll say. Yeah.
It's a way, way more enjoyable movie than Deep Rising.
It doesn't make it better. Sorry, stickler for the
language. Yeah, that's right.
Words of meaning. Yeah, I just.

(21:14):
Heard something we were going tosay like 20 minutes ago when we
started the show. This fucking meat is super
spicy. Yeah, we're drinking the Hades.
It tastes like jalapenos with honey instead of the other way
around. But it's still fucking best meat
I have still tasted to this day.We were tasting some other
needs. I won't drop any shade on him

(21:35):
buddy the other night. Oh really?
Yeah. Yeah, you Hooker.
No, no. Alex was giving them to us.
Oh, really? Yeah.
Yeah. He's like here, taste this.
He's like anyway. Oh, don't mind if I.
Do Oh, let's hydrate. That's right.

(21:59):
Jesus. You know, I don't know if my
taste buds have all just been burned away, but that one didn't
sting as much. It's called a coping mechanism.
That's why I don't remember the ages of four to 10.
Yeah. Anyway, yeah.

(22:19):
All right. Do you want to rate it?
Yeah, let's rate it. Pile.
Of fucking turds this. Movie's ass toilet.
It is ass toilet. Yeah.
Oh God, it's a it's a three at best.
I was going to say, I'm going toput it right there.
Like in the same tier as like Ghoulies.
Yeah, it is that bad. Yeah, yeah.

(22:42):
Threes with the low. Lowest we ever gave was
Deathbed, which I think we gave a 0.
The zero or a one or something. Yeah, all.
Right. So that's our that's our low bar
standard. Yeah yeah, two.
I mean like I can give it a two.I'll give it the extra point on
like again, the production value, like it looks, you know,

(23:02):
like an improvement on the 1st movie, but it in no way is an
improvement on the 1st movie. Like story wise, no artistry
wise, just all around it's a fucking.
Turn. It's unwise.
Yeah, yeah, no. So yeah, now let's give it a
flat 3. There is in.
In no fucking universe should this have a 5.7.

(23:23):
No, Jesus Christ. No.
On IMDb, I'm going to log our dissatisfaction with this.
Yes, yes, Hopefully we bring therating down.
I gave it A2, didn't I? Whatever it's a piece of.
Shit. Fine.
It's fine. Yeah.
No, you gave it a you agreed with me out of three.

(23:45):
All right? All right, but then you've
talked about it too. Yeah, shit.
I talked around. What are you doing?
I'm. Going to go 2.5.
Then this doesn't deserve half points.
They did not go the extra mile in any way.
Jesus Christ. Aw, man.
Are you ready for trivia? Yeah.

(24:07):
All right, let's do some trivia.Have to bother you with trivia?
Oh God, I didn't even like getting trivia for this movie.

(24:30):
It is nothing. Not a God damn thing, all right,
but. You've been shitting on it,
wasn't. Act like it's fine.
Like it wasn't like fun because it wasn't like cheeky shitting
on it, it was like. This.
No this. Sucks.
Sucks so bad, all right? Tom Matthews disliked the sequel

(24:55):
so much that he said the best part about making the film was
the outstanding craft service. Here's the shitty tar man.
Yeah, like how you going to do my boy dirty like that?
Yeah. Yeah.
That's. No.
You know what the fucking face reminds me of is?

(25:18):
Fuck it, it looks like Joe Boo. Yes, yeah, it looks exactly like
Joe Boo in the face. Hats for bats.
Very good. You know, steal Joe Boo's rum.
Better than that. If you have no idea what the
hell we're talking about, you should watch Major League.

(25:42):
Like turn this off and go watch Major League No.
It's too high, it's too high, it's too high.
Who gives a shit? It's out of here.
Classic. Oh man, the Michael Jackson
Zombie was improvised on the spot.
I wish they didn't think they were so clever.
I wish they would. Have improvised editing his ass

(26:04):
right the fuck out. That would have been great.
The blue electrocution lines in the final sequence were all hand
drawn frame by frame, which is cool, but yes, that's the only
way they had to do that stuff back then.
Genuinely feel bad for the person who had to do all that
work for this shitty movie. Oh, don't feel that bad because
it cost over $50,000 the. 80s money.

(26:24):
That's like a good chunk of. Change yeah, the NPAA would have
granted this film APG 13 if the scene at the hospital where the
zombie is shot in half was toneddown this is.
All right out of Thriller. All of this shit is right out of
like the mist going over the graves with the zombies slowly
coming out. These shots, yeah, these shots

(26:45):
are right out of Thriller. Yeah, I mean, they were also
sort of out of the first return of the list.
Stylistically, the way they look, the way they're like, Oh
yeah, everything even like, because in Thriller, I remember
again, watching that making of documentary a million times as a
kid. Like, you know, I remember the
why them making the mist go overeverything.

(27:07):
Yeah, the zombies came out. Like, for sure, Thriller made
this a worst movie. Somehow that is true.
Oh, I don't like that. No, I don't either.
I love thriller. Thriller's so good.
I have always sort of wanted like a Rob Zombie cover of

(27:29):
Thriller. I think it it would just be
thematic enough for it to work. Have you ever heard his cover of
On Your Boogeyman? Yeah, yeah, it's fucking
awesome. His cover of Brick House is
awesome. I haven't heard that.
Oh yeah, yeah, get on that one. Let's see.

(27:53):
Yeah. So the IT would have gotten APG
13 rating but where they blew that zombie in half was just too
gory which I mean it was a cool scene.
This is dumb. All this like 3 stooges bullshit
when the zombies are coming up out of the ground.
I knew from there like this movie does not get better.
Yeah, like that's it. That's the.

(28:14):
Like the one he got his hand stepped on.
Oh, that sucks. And then he pulled his hand out
and he put his hand back and then the one stepped on his head
and like stop. Just fucking stop.
Make a zombie movie. And then like this, where
they're running through the graveyard and they can like,
they pass each other like, like they turn around and run like,
yeah, is this a fucking Naked Gun movie or like, yeah.

(28:40):
Stupid, fucking stupid. The script was not originally
written as a sequel to Return ofthe Living Dead.
Producer Tom Fox was interested in Ken Wiederhorn's story, but
would only finance it if he agreed to make it part of the
series. So what the fuck was the story
then? Because it's just returning to
living. 10, it's the same, yeah,it's the same fucking story.

(29:04):
What, like where is where is it different?
Like, or did he just like completely scrap his script and
just be like, fine, I'm just going to remake this fucking
movie. Yeah, also why is there like why
doesn't one person reference like hey, wasn't it crazy like 3
years ago when they knew Nashville?
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.

(29:31):
Writer director Ken Wiederhorn was trying to get out of the
horror genre at the time LorimarProductions bought his script.
Once the film was released, he received nothing but horror
comedy directing opportunities and they should not have given
him anything else. They should have looked at this
and went no. Like that, that could have been

(29:53):
a cool gag where like she punches through the zombie head.
Yeah, but they just, they fuckedit up.
It looks fucking looks like an asshole in his face.
Looks like our space. Yeah, I was going to say he
looks like our space it that that's the least of this movie's
fucking sins for. Real.
This is going to be our last trivia fact for the for the

(30:16):
evening. All the extras who ate the real
calf brains weren't made aware that they had potentially been
exposed to a prion disease, AKA the brain.
The zombie disease, Yeah. Not a fun way to die.
No Prion Prion diseases are mutated proteins only caused by
eating infected animals. One calf can infect thousands

(30:37):
and it would cause the brain to develop holes and Swiss cheese
itself. In an ironic twist, the actors
playing zombies could have become the closest to a living
zombie possible infected with a prime zombie disease.
Now I am not a medical professional but sounds legit

(31:00):
because I know like mad cow disease is from cows.
Cows eating cows would have beenhilarious.
That's it for trivia, but now we're going to move on to 1 star
reviews, which does not have a button.
Yet. For our producer, yeah, I have
to make music and I'm just, I haven't been sorry.

(31:24):
That was good. It was good blood work right
there. Yeah, I have to sit down and
make music for the bumper and I I haven't the.
New network intro too, probably tomorrow.
Yeah, All right, here's for someone stars.
Although I feel I'm ready but I feel like it's not going to be
fun again because like usually we don't agree with the one star

(31:45):
reviews like. We're gonna Yeah.
Ernest meets a zombie. I don't agree with that.
That's. Just no, You're disrespecting my
man, Ernest enjoyed. Ernest.
Yeah, absolutely awful follow upto a cult classic.
Agreed. This movie lacked everything
that made Return of the Living Dead so enjoyable.
In that movie there was suspense, horror, comedy, good

(32:06):
effects, restricted content, etcetera.
This lame sequel had none of that.
It was more like an earnest filmwith the characters constantly
looking at each other and fake screaming before running off in
every direction as if they were in a screwball comedy.
Yep, horrible, just horrible. The acting was terrible, the
effects were lame, but by far worse was the constant Home

(32:29):
Alone type action. This movie was made for five
year olds. Just about as bad as a sequel
can possibly get. Yes, TJ has the most accurate,
accurate trivia fact. This movie does indeed.
That's not even trivia. It's like the law.

(32:52):
All right, moving on to our nextone, dinosaur.
Dinosaurs aren't the only creatures with brains the size
of a pea. Not too far into viewing Return
of the Living Dead Part 2, maybeonly 10 minutes, I began to make
a mental list of the truly terrible zombie movies I had
seen in my life. Burial Ground, Zombie Lake,
Night of the Zombies, House of 1000 Corpses.

(33:16):
Not really a zombie move, not really a zombie movie, but it
was directed by 1. I'll give you that because it's
clever, yeah. Then, not too much later, I
began to make a mental list of the terrible sequels to
generally decent horror movies, in particular the soulless
retreads put out just to make a buck.

(33:37):
First, in my mind was Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, I
agree, followed by The Hills Have Eyes Part 2, which I don't
think I've ever actually seen. I.
Never saw the original. 10, the original is good and then just
getting back to watching Return of the Living Dead Part 2.
I knew only maybe 30 minutes in that this would be awarded with

(33:58):
a high position on both lists. It's ass.
For real. I just I really like the title
of this review. This movie just sucks.
Yeah, you get called it man. This is one of the worst comedy
horror movies I have ever seen. With a name like Return of the

(34:21):
Living Dead Part 2, I wasn't expecting much in the 1st place,
but even those expectations weretoo high.
The Evil Dead trilogy did it right with how to mix comedy and
horror. No, they didn't.
Not in a trilogy format. Because the first one was a dead
serious horror movie. Everyone slapstick comedy.
Everyone fucking forgets it. Yeah, everyone forgets Evil Dead

(34:43):
is a horror movie. That's it.
No comedy. Yeah.
And The Army of Darkness is pretty much just a comedy.
Yeah, fuck you. There's one scene in particular
where a zombie's head is in a bag and it's moving around.

(35:04):
So the man unzips the bag, picksthe head up, and it starts
screaming. And then he points at it and it
puts his finger. He puts his finger into the
head's mouth. Just dumb things like that.
Yeah, that was stupid. He's biting me.
Biting me. Fuck you.
You know what's in the bag, you've seen what is happening.
Why would you open the bag? You know what's like It's going

(35:26):
to be a head writhing around fucking.
Yeah, the back is moving. Yeah, and then to have the head
dropping one liners like. I I can't stand it.
It's so fucking bad because you're very smart and very
sarcastic and also ow, no, no no, that was fun.

(35:46):
I like that one because you're very smart and very sarcastic
but also sometimes a dumb ass. TJ asks where do we stand?
And children shouldn't play withdead things.
I never saw that. One I haven't either.
Was that a That wasn't a StephenKing joint, was it?
No, that was sometimes they comeback.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(36:08):
No, I haven't seen that one. Yeah, I haven't seen it, TJ,
sorry. But anyway, that's it for one
star reviews. There we go, move on to the
better known as Nope BKA. There we go.

(36:29):
All right, it. Looks like there's a lot of
entries up here, but we're goingto blow.
You are looking jaundicey as shit my boy.
Yeah, yeah, Our shit is off. Our shit is all fucked up.
Shit's fucked. Yeah, they quote Idiocracy.
Shit's fucked. You shit's all fucked.
We'll start off with director Ken Wiederhorn is probably the

(36:53):
thing he's most known for, otherthan two episodes of 21 Jump St.
or 7 episodes of Freddy's Nightmares.
Yeah. Oh come on.
Meatballs Part 2. Yeah, has a lower rating than
this somehow. Wow, wow.
Yeah, everything else he's done is really like, probably nothing

(37:14):
you've ever heard of, unfortunately.
Sorry, Ken. You suck.
Yeah. Moving on, moving.
Yeah, moving along. I was going to say moving on and
then miss switch to a long mid word.
Don't do that. Yeah, James Caron is returning
from the first movie. Yep.
Why fucking why? Like.

(37:37):
Money. I guess I mean like the whatever
we so we've talked about it before.
Yeah. There's really nothing, you
know, I'm pretty sure he's long dead.
So he has been in anything for a.
Long, long dead. Since 2018.
I wouldn't say that's long. He.

(37:57):
Died in 2018. So sad he's been dead seven
years. Other than that, I mean, like,
he did a couple of, like, voiceson kind of popular things, like
The Cleveland Show, American Dad.
Yeah, he was in Superman Returns, the Superman movie
everyone loves. He's in Mulholland.

(38:20):
Dr. David Lynch shows up a couple of times tonight.
Yeah. He's in Walker, Texas.
Ranger also shows up a couple oftimes tonight.
He's in any given Sunday 1999. We talked about him.
We're going to move on. Yeah, yeah.
What are we doing? He is much, much better in the

(38:41):
first movie, as is Tom Matthews or Thumb, however you want to
say that. I'm going to say Tom, yeah, just
because I'm not a fucking weirdo, yeah.
You need the H man. Just get right to business TOA.
It's like people whose name is Jeff and it's Geoff like.
No dude, it's JEFFI can even live with JEPH fucking can you?

(39:03):
I could JE or Geoff, yeah. G off.
Aside from these, but he's also returning from the first movie.
Aside from these, he is most well known from a couple of
entries in the Friday 13th series.
He was Tommy Jarvis in like 1 ofthe official movies and then

(39:28):
like a shit load of fan films. Friday the 13th Vengeance 2,
Colon Bloodlines 5.2. So it's almost as good as this
movie. Her Hike alone.
The Ghost Cut, a Friday the 13thfan film, has a 7 point O
rating. But like, here's the thing

(39:49):
though. Like is he in these fan films or
are these fan films just using clips from older movies?
He voiced Tommy Jarvis in the now defunct Friday the 13th
video game. Yeah, forgot that.

(40:10):
That's that's like dead now. Saved it somehow somewhere, like
on a server or something. Yeah, yeah.
He was in the Peacemaker in 1997with George Clooney and Nicole
Kidman. We've talked about it before.
So we're going to move on. Because really there's, I mean,
he was in Kickboxer, so we're going to move on.

(40:34):
Up next, Michael Kenworthy was in this film, he was Jesse
Wilson. It is possible that we have
talked about him before. He was in The BLOB, the 1988,
excuse me, 1988 version of BLOB,which is a much, much better
movie. It's so good.
That they reuse this guy. Hold on, I'll show him again in

(40:56):
a second. I think that guy.
Oh, yeah, He comes back later. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's the one that gets blown in half.
Yeah, probably, yeah. Yeah.
Other than that, he was in an episode of Just the Ten of Us,
which is a spinoff of Growing Pains.
And he he was also in that playing different characters.
So he's apparently got range. She's got that growing pains

(41:19):
range, huh? Moving on, Susan Snyder, who was
the highly, highly, one of the many highly annoying characters
in this movie, she was actually in a bunch of shit and I'm
pretty sure we talked about it before.
We definitely have. Yeah, 'cause she was a Killer
Klowns from Outer Space. Yeah, she was in a fools rush in

(41:40):
with Matthew Barry. Barry.
The dude from Friends. Yeah, exactly.
In 1991 she was in. Murder, she wrote.

(42:00):
Oh Lord yeah. Only took you a little bit
longer than ours too, yeah. And yeah, she was in Killer
Klowns from Outer Space. I think we mentioned that.
Yep. She's also in Weird Science.

(42:21):
She's like one of the two girls that Anthony Michael Hall and
the other guy are like kind of like chasing a star fighter as
well as me before. She's a good ass movie.
Is it? It is.
I haven't seen it probably sincethe 90s, so maybe I'm going out
on a limb, but I do remember being awesome.
Marsha Deepline was in this film.

(42:45):
She. As who?
Exactly. Yeah, I like, I saw her picture.
I'm like, you know, what was she?
There had to be a reason I savedher.
Oh, is she the older sister? That's it.
Yeah, that's it. There you go.
Yeah. She was an episode of Blue
Bloods. She was in Box 2013.

(43:10):
Who among us wasn't anyway, She was in Gossip Girl. 2 episodes
of that. Save her for a reason I don't
know. But TJ goes be fair, Art is
masturbating when you do that tohim and he has to zip up TJ you

(43:37):
unhinged fucking gremlin you. Just maniac.
She's in the movie Boiler Room in the year 2000.
That was a red flag of a movie for a long It still is a red
flag of a movie. Somebody really likes the movie
Boiler Room, They're probably anasshole.
I don't know what that is. That was like the stock market
trading movie with fucking like Vin Diesel and fucking.

(44:01):
What I. Want to say Giovanni Ribisi?
Yeah, It's it's like shitty WallStreet, basically.
Yeah, it's yeah, shitty. The Wolf of Wall Street.
How many people does Vin Diesel beat up while he's a fucking
wall? St.
Bro Probably several, yeah. Scott Kahn.

(44:23):
Jamie Kennedy. I'm going to say it.
I like Giovanni Ribisi. That's that.
That's pretty divisive. I'm.
Trying to think of bad shit he was in.
I really can't using the Ted movies.
Those are pretty good. I like.
Those he was in transfers I think right?

(44:47):
Was it transfers? Pretty sure one of those shitty
90s knock off sci-fi movies. Yeah, this.
Is like a a year 2000 like showcase for douchebaggery.
Vin Diesel, Scott Kahn, Jamie Kennedy, Tom Everett Scott, Ben
Affleck. Jesus, who do I saw?

(45:08):
Maybe I'm just. Wait, why is Ben Affleck in the
douche list? Oh yeah.
Early tooth like Ben Affleck nowI kind of like because he's like
just a fucking dude now. You know he's just a fucking man
with. Life, yeah, but back then he was
like, you know, the douchebag fucking like actor, like pretty
boy. Yeah.

(45:30):
Yeah, it was not good. And I just remember a lot of
people watching that movie repeatedly while doing.
Not at once. Yeah, Hanela Segal was in this
movie. Speaking of TJ being fucking
unhinged, Boiler room is Glengarry Glen Ross fucks Wolf

(45:53):
of Wall Street and then Wolf of Wall Street smoke during the
pregnancy. That's accurate.
I'll leave it for the clarify. Not only did smoke during
pregnancy, it smoked crack. During.
Yeah, is the crack baby of thosemovies.
I saved her. Hanoah, whatever the fuck her
name is Hanoah Segal. She was in Robin Hood

(46:14):
Mennonites, which is a far superior.
Who the fuck was she in this? Oh, the aerobics instructor.
Yeah, yeah. Robin Hood Mennonites 6.7.
Criminal. Yeah, that is what, less than a?
Point. That's in this.
Movie. That's at least an 8.
Yo fuck yeah. Yeah.

(46:35):
She's also in Thriller of. Course.
She's a dancer. Moving on, Jonathan Terry is in
this movie. He is Colonel lover.
I saved him because he is the Colonel in the first movie as
well. He's in a couple of sort of
notable movies. He's in the sequel to Waiting.
It's in Halloween 3. I was going to get to that all

(46:58):
right. Maybe I'm not.
Don't mind if I do. Yeah, sort of, sort of Notable
Movies I. Was gonna get there.
Sort of notable. That's a bigger movie than Still
waiting, I'll say. Yeah, he's an episode of Monk,

(47:19):
Highway to Heaven, Remington Steele, and yeah, Halloween
Three Season of the Witch. 5.2. That is rated lower than this
movie. Fuck, fuck you.
Fuck you. Fuck.
We say this almost every week, but I mean it this time.
But fuck you, IMDb. You can.
OK, I will give you that. You can be disappointed that
there is no Michael Myers in that movie, but to fucking watch

(47:42):
that movie and go, this is a 5.2.
You're out of your fucking mind.Good movie.
You're just mad because it doesn't.
It's not a slasher. Yeah, I get it.
It was a bait and switch, OK? Be upset about that.
Don't take it out on the fuckingmovie itself.
You lost what, like 5 bucks on arental?

(48:02):
Like get over it. All right, Dana Ashbrook is up
next. He is also a notable the fucking
David Lynch on the alumni. Who's Bobby Briggs in like all
of the Twin Peaks stuff. Oh yeah, I'm going to get back
on the Twin Peaks. I will, I promise.

(48:25):
I watched the first episode likeAmanda didn't like it.
Of like the original. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, there's there's a high buy in the show
is fucking weird. Yeah.
It lost me in the second season.So it's like that's why I never
continued on with any of the other shit because like I was
like, oh, this is really good. This is really good.
This is really good. That's a weird way to end a

(48:46):
season. What the fuck am I watching now?
Yeah, yeah. OK, aside from that.
So blue bloods. Yeah, an episode of Psych Blue
Blood shows up again. White Collar.
There's another USA show wasn't.It.

(49:08):
I think so, yeah. Oh, Deadwood.
Oh yeah. Deadwood.
He's one of Hearst's goons. Gerald Mccraney.
He's in nine episodes of the Creek Creek Creek.
Oh good boa. Yeah, he's in Boa and Python
too. Get the fuck out of here.

(49:29):
So he's got the market cornered on snake horror.
He's in an episode of the Outer Limits remake from the 90s, and
then I think that's probably allthe notable stuff.
I really just saved him for TwinPeaks.
He's in another episode of 21 Jump St. that shows up again.
He's an attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

(49:50):
That was his first role, 1978. Jesus, that movie is that old.
Yeah, God damn. Troutman is in this movie.
He was. I saved him because he is tar
man and this. And in the first movie he didn't
even think he'd be like wait, what the fuck are you guys
putting me in? This doesn't even look anything

(50:10):
like the first. Yeah, you think he looked at it
and went, Is this Joe Boo? Aside from that he has been in a
lot of Muppets stuff over the years.
Just recently he was in Mufasa, the live action Lion King
remake. Just some of the muppet stuff.

(50:31):
He was in Muppets Haunted Mansion, he was in the happy
time murders. That like R rated fucking movie
with like Muppets. I like, I was like this
interested in that. I was like, OK, I can kind of
see where they're doing what they're doing here.
But then I was also like, I couldn't give a shit less about
Melissa McCarthy. Yeah, I couldn't get, I don't

(50:52):
think I've ever seen it, other Muppet things.
Like he's AI mean. I would go out on a limb here
and say he's a Henson actor. Yeah, Greg the Bunny.
It's a very Muppet Christmas movie.
The country bears. It's a monkey bone.

(51:12):
Fuck yeah oh 4.8 kiss my ass the.
Flintstones. Viva Rock.
That's that's upsetting to me. Muppets from Space.
Muppets Tonight. The Muppets CD-ROM, 1996.
Jesus Christ. He is in a bunch of Timmy the
Tooth videos. I remember those.

(51:34):
I don't. It was, I just remember seeing
the video like fucking case it was.
It was a literal like muppet tooth like that teach kids to
brush their teeth. No.
He's an episode of Married with Children.
He is in 65 episodes of Dinosaurs.
Hell yeah. Body actor of the mom, Franz
Sinclair. Yeah.

(51:57):
He is actually the Mama Muppet Vision 3D, which just closed
down at Disney World, and he's in the letter People in 1974 and
1976. As someone who went to public
school in the 1980s, we watched a lot of the letter People.

(52:23):
I don't know it by name but likeclick on it for me.
It was all puppets that were like, like anthropomorphic
letters, like fucking, you know,they tell you the alphabet,
obviously. This this sounds really fucking
familiar. Fucking pictures of this.

(52:48):
Yeah, like all the puppets were shaped like letters.
Oh, I do remember that. I think Mr. like Mr. S was like
super socks or something like that.
I remember. Jesus Christ.
Yeah. Because like, I started, I would
have started school in 1990. Yeah.

(53:09):
So it was like not terribly far removed from when that came out.
Yeah, I started kidding around an E4 and like in like first or
second grade. It was first grade.
I think my teacher had like theyhad like the fucking like
stuffed animals of the of the letter people.
Jesus Christ. Cutouts all over the fucking
thing. Yeah.

(53:30):
It's like low budget fucking Sesame Street.
All right, moving on a Kleenex ad.
Yeah, we have Don Maxwell. He is in this movie.
I saved him because aside from this, he also shows up in an

(53:52):
episode of Married Children. Yep, he is in Frankenstein, The
college years 91 Gross. He's in A Nightmare on Elm
Street, the dream child in 1989.He's also in an episode of
Quantum Leap that year, and alsoin an episode of Beauty and the

(54:14):
Beast with Ron. Perlman.
Hell yeah. And Moonlighting.
Dude had a big 1989. He also is not only in A
Nightmare on Elm Street movie, he's in an episode of Freddy's
Nightmares. Yikes, no thank you.
Speaking of disappointing horrorsequels and spin offs, beside
from Returning the Living Dead too.
And the dream child. He is also in V in the 80s.

(54:40):
He's in the series, not the miniseries TV series.
I have to rewatch that as I knowI've seen it.
It has been so fucking long. It's probably been since the 90s
or maybe the early 2000s. Yeah, because I want to say they
say they showed him on like FX for a while.
Yeah, yeah, they did like. When FX first came out, Yep.

(55:03):
So that's probably the last timeI watched him and like I fucking
loved it. I remember watching that like
with my parents when I was a kid.
When? I was.
That was the one with the RobertAnglin, right?
Robert Anglin. Yeah, aside from that, Greatest

(55:24):
American hero, Incredible Hulk. You should do a Hulk movie.
I'm down for a Hulk movie. Are you?
Monster. I guess yeah.
Oh, humanoids from the deep. Oh yeah, that's right.
That's why I saved him. He was in Humanoids from the
Deep. It was our very first episode in
this studio. What's?

(55:47):
Up oh, the video is freezing a little bit oh, we'll just give
it a second give it a second back.

Also he's in BJ and the bear. I mean, who doesn't love

(56:10):
anything with a monkey in it? A monkey named Bear.
Yeah, Quincy shows up. So we have two points of the
Pentagra. Uh huh.
Chips remember the time what's his name told us about the time
he watched some dudes teeth get kicked out during an episode of
Chips. No the.

(56:33):
Fucking actor we talked to, not Eric Roberts.
Anyway, moving on, the guy from Stone.

(57:17):
Bruns, he is the doctor in this movie.
Another character. I absolutely hate it.
Yeah, he like he. At no point is he ever not
telling a joke. He's always joking about
something. Yeah, atrocious.
Yeah, Yeah, he is in a ton of stuff though, over the years.
Just shoot me. He's in one episode of that

(57:37):
sitcom, The steamy Baywatch Nights.
Mr. Belvedere. Anyway, Ben or Phillip Bruns.
I saved him because he was the original Jerry's dad on Seinfeld
for like 1 episode. Oh really?
And they switched him out? Yeah, like Dick Yorked him.

(58:05):
Other than that he shows up in MASH like a lot of TV sitcoms.
The Jeffersons, Barney Miller. Bunker's Place.
He's in Flashdance. Airwolf St.
Elsewhere. Kojak.
So you've seen this dude on TV at some point?
Yeah. The streets of San Francisco all
the way back to, if I'm not mistaken, Car 54.

(58:31):
Where are you? God damn. 62 I watched the hell
out of that on Nick at night when I was a kid.
I did not like it would be on and I'd be like, that's not my
show. Oh.
Dude, I loved it. Lastly, we have Mitch Pileggi,
who's like kind of a known actorwho shows up for about two
seconds in this movie. Yeah, he's like one of the Army

(58:52):
guys. He is also in a ton of.
Shit load of X-Files, wasn't he?Yeah, he was like the the
director of like their division.Yeah, division director Skinner.
He has. He pulled off a rare feat.
He is in 69 episodes of the Walker, Texas Ranger remake.
Nice. He is also in the original Texas

(59:15):
Walker Walker Texas round here for. 69 episodes.
Not for 69 episodes, no, Unfortunately, no.
If I were him, it'd be like, I can't do anything.
I didn't show it to the show. I didn't know that that song of
bitch and show ran for three seasons.
Yeah, 6 at least 69 episodes. Which is crazy because like, I
didn't want a one. Yeah, not a one, just.

(59:35):
Rewatch other Walker. Like Jared Padalecki.
You're great. I like you.
You're fine. You are not.
You are not Chuck Norris. You are not Chuck Norris.
He shows up in 4 episodes of therecent Supergirl TV series.
He's been off the air for five years.
So feel bad for you it it. Honestly seems like it's been a

(59:58):
year or two. I mean it ended when COVID
started so that really doesn't count for like 2 years.
Yeah, I mentioned The X-Files. He's in 91 episodes of the show,
and he's in a couple of the movies as well.
Yeah, he's in 14 episodes of Sons of Anarchy, 8 episodes of

(01:00:19):
Supernatural, The Human Target, which was awesome.
Stargate Atlantis, 22 episodes. I really didn't.
I didn't ever care for Stargate.Arthur, I think, loved it.
I. Never.
Yeah, no, the dude love love Stargate and I.
It's. A cool concept.
Like I thought the movie was OK.I didn't love it.

(01:00:42):
Yeah, I never, I, I've never actually seen the movie.
Oh really? Yeah.
Skipped on a Kurt Russell joint.I I that came out like what,
9495? Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, like. Just before I like habitually
went to the movies all the time.Yeah.
Nip Top. I mean, he's a dude.
You he's one of those guys that you know him when you see him,

(01:01:04):
Yeah, you might not know his name, but yeah, he's you're not
supposed to know about this. If you're going to 69 a Walker,
it has to be Norris. Yeah, yeah, wholeheartedly.
You don't 69 Chuck. He's 69 to you.

(01:01:24):
Yeah. He was in an episode of That 70s
Show. He was Red's like army buddy who
turns out to be a swinger. Oh Jesus Christ, they.
Go to a party in his house. It's a swinger party.
Yeah, Also, you don't 69 Chuck Norris, you 68 with him.
You blow him, and he owes you one.

(01:01:47):
You blow him and you still owe him.
That's how that works. All right, we're going to end it
there. Oh, Basic Instinct.
Oh yeah, he's a Basic Instinct, along with Sharon Stone's
vagina. I'm terrible.
That will do it for the better known.

(01:02:08):
But that was the joke for, what,five years after that movie came
out? Yeah, Brown was still the joke.
Yeah, all right, crapshoot. Yeah, let's shoot some crap.
We have a butt for that. Beautiful.
Thank you. I did go to the movies this

(01:02:30):
week. To see what.
By default, because there was really nothing like out that I
would have gone to see how How to Train Your Dragon.
But Amanda didn't want to go. I know she wants to see that.
So I ended up going to see the Phoenician scheme, the fucking
Wes Anderson movie. Oh yeah, yeah.
Why do I do this to my why wouldyou go?
You hate Wes Anderson movies? It's got a lot of people who I,

(01:02:53):
you know, it's got Benicio del Toro like.
I'm gonna stop you, right? I'm gonna stop you right there.
Go. Ahead you have the floor.
Every single Wes Anderson movie is stacked top to bottom with
phenomenal talent. You don't like Wes Anderson
movies? Don't.
Really fucking don't like I I can see like there are things I

(01:03:14):
did like in this movie. Like there's a lot of cool
shots, like a lot of like artistic stuff.
Great, I I just I need you the. Tone of his movies is just
fucking weird. Yes, I need you to show an ounce
of fucking growth as a film maker.
Just do anything different in your next movie for Christ's

(01:03:34):
sake. Why would he?
Dude he hit so fucking big with what was the one before the life
aquatic. Oh, the royal Tennenbaums.
Was it? It was like that and then
Fantastic Mr. Fox maybe. No, which one?
What was his first? Was it Little Miss Sunshine?
Was his first? Huge.

(01:03:54):
One. No, his first one was Rushmore,
and then it was. Yeah, that that played like a
regular fucking movie. Yeah, that was actually a really
good movie. Then it was Royal Tennenbaums.
OK, so there is where he goes like this is my style of movie.
He has not changed his style of movie since then.
Like it is not is not developed into anything else.

(01:04:15):
And like, I get it, you like, you find your niche and you're
like, this is what I enjoy doing.
But like you got to change it upa little bit.
Like look at look at Tarantino. Tarantino makes basically the
same fucking movie over and over, but there's a different
style to every one of them. There's some kind of something
that's different in every movie.Exactly, like all of his movies

(01:04:35):
are basically people talking to each other.
But there's differences between the, like I said, stylistically,
like differences in the time periods.
All of these fucking movies are set like in this indeterminate
like 50s era. And you know, everyone talks
like this very dry and very, youknow, quickly paced without any
punctuations and just talk like this.
And all the junks are very dry and they don't really make any

(01:04:56):
sense because they're really just dumb.
And you're supposed to laugh andlike people are laughing in the
theatre. And I don't know why because the
people are just talking like this.
And like, I just don't fucking get it.
Like I just, I don't fucking getit.
Like like there were, like I said, there were things I really
liked. Like it was an interesting story
but like I just got lost in it because it was so fucking like
overly like complicated and tweeand fucking.

(01:05:18):
Yeah. Yeah.
Like like I, I'm trying to like,I'm trying to compare it to like
a band, right? So like Wes Anderson movies are
basically like, I don't know, like who does the same fucking
shitty indie album? Matthews.

(01:05:40):
Every single. Bullshit.
Every fucking album. Pretty much Dave Matthews, like
on screen, yeah, but more like an indie, indie rock band.
So I don't know, like fucking Pomp Lamous or something, you
know, it's just you're great at what you do and if that's what

(01:06:00):
your fans want, you deliver for them.
Yeah, I guess they're getting everybody else fucking hates it,
bro. You know it's the fucking.
Well, this vegan. Shit, you're the fucking
unicorns. I need a fucking steak every now
and again, so dramatically speaking.
Yeah, you know what? That's what it is.
It's the unicorns. It's just noisy trash to

(01:06:20):
everybody that doesn't pretend to like it.
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, that was frustrating.
I was that desperate to see a movie.
Like that sucks. I guess I'm going to see this.
I'd rather just not go out like.I've been sitting here all day
like Sunday, other day. I'm like, I got to get out of
the. House.
Yeah, to go sit somewhere else in the dark.

(01:06:44):
I mean, I went out like cruised around for a little.
While in the store got. Myself, the movie like got out.
I grabbed a steak, ironically. Yeah, yeah, fucking.
And made it for dinner for myself afterwards.
Let's see. Oh, this weekend I watched a
preposterous amount of On Patrollive.
Like, unreal. Unreal what?

(01:07:05):
Was the other one life after lock up?
Love after lock up. Yeah.
Yep. I don't know, man.
Like, I just like, I was, it wasFather's Day weekend and I just
actually even a couple of weekends before that, I just,
it's such an easy thing to just throw on and not care about.

(01:07:26):
Like it's background noise and Ican look at it every now and
then and immediately know what'sgoing on because there's some
weird dirtbag doing some crazy crackhead shit.
But it was Father's Day weekend and so my son was over at the
house and I was watching it and he started watching.
He was like getting really into it.
And I was like, all right, like,so we can just hang out and

(01:07:49):
watch on patrol live. It's fine to the point where
like. 40s this would be like 2008 four, 2012 active G4.
Yeah, but like I would turn the TV off to go do something and
then like I would come back and the TV was on and he was
watching say whatever. Oh man, we're watching like

(01:08:15):
we're watching both. Like Dark Side of the 90s and
Dark Side of the 2000s. Oh yeah, 1.
Of the next ones we have is cops.
Oh, I can't wait to watch that. Dark side, huh?
Yeah, yeah. I didn't know there was a light
side to cops, to be honest with you.
Yeah. Yeah.
I remember still to this, I mean, like there was never

(01:08:37):
anything not interesting on cops, but like one of the
funniest fucking things I ever saw to this day.
Like you do that thing where like they're rolling up on
somebody in the parking lot and you always hear the two cops
talking before they get out of the car.
Like, yeah, you know, we, we gotto call this guy's in the
parking lot. You know, we we heard he's like
huffing something out of the bag.
He's like a known huffer. You know, we've busted him a

(01:08:57):
couple of times. We're going to see what he's up
to. So they get out of the car.
We're like, you know, how's it going, Sir?
Like they haven't shown the guy yet.
Like they haven't seen his face.Like, how's it going?
How you doing? Having a good night.
And like, yeah, yeah. He's like, you know, you're
huffing any pain or anything. He turns around.
Paint. Over his fucking lips.
He's just like, no, no fucking that show was the goddamn best.

(01:09:23):
Dude, that's on patrol life. It's this.
It is cops. It is cops.
Or it looks like the sound of like a cop starting to run.
Let me see your idea. Don't do it.

(01:09:43):
Yeah. And then just like 90 lbs of
shit jingling on them. Fucking oh God, that show used
to be so good. Yeah.
It's it's still good. Yeah.
It's on Peacock. The cock.
It's on the cock. OK, what else did I do?
Oh I I watched most of at least half of the Alto Knights.

(01:10:09):
How is it so? Far jarring, but OK.
All right. Well, because you've got De Niro
playing a a gangster and his ownrival.
Yeah. Yeah.
So he's Vito Genovese and Frank Costello.
It's pretty gory I heard actually.
Isn't it like? No worse than any other, you

(01:10:30):
know, like gangster. Like yeah, it's like in terms of
like gore and people being shot and shit, like what I've seen is
on par with like Goodfellas or whatever.
I. Heard that somewhere.
It's like kind of fucking gory. It's not that bad.
I mean, like, I'm not deep into the movie.

(01:10:51):
Like, well, I'm like halfway, I think pretty good.
Like the, the, the makeup work is really weird because like,
sometimes you're like, oh, that looks really good.
And then other times you see it and you're like, that is that is
a rubber mask on De Niro's face.Yeah.

(01:11:12):
Yeah, you know, I'm not even going to restart this fucking
movie. Fuck that shit.
But I'm, I'm digging it. From what I can tell, it's
fairly accurate. Obviously, none of those movies
are super accurate. But yeah, from what I know of

(01:11:36):
mobster history, it's in the ballpark.
All right, Pretty good. It jumps timelines a little bit.
But like, one of the big focuseswas like when Frank Costello was
at the the Supreme Court hearingand, you know, was kind of
giving some answers that he shouldn't have gave and

(01:11:58):
basically all that shit that that plays a big part of it.
All right. But yeah, I would definitely
recommend it. Yeah.
Did we watch anything else this week?
We've. Been watching more of that
mortician show. Oh yeah, the mortician.

(01:12:19):
Yeah, there's two episodes out. Oh no, another one came out
Sunday. Yeah, he's on Sunday nights.
Sunday nights at 9. Fascinating, all right?
Fucking fascinating. The dude was a absolute scumbag.
All right, Yeah, I don't. Do you know what that's about at
all? No, I know, I know.
So it's. What's his name?

(01:12:41):
David Skonce. And he's.
He was a funeral director, but then he started like a side
business of. His like parents inherited
funeral. Home, yeah, like a legacy
Funeral Home. Like everybody went to this
place and he started like wholesaling cremations.

(01:13:03):
So he was burning bodies like. Two or three at a time.
Well, it started off two or three at a time and it got to be
like 100 at a time. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, he wound up buying this, like, ceramics factory that had
a giant kiln. So he's just, like, stuffing it
full of bodies. Yeah, I think he got up to like
200 at a time. Holy shit.

(01:13:25):
Yeah, but he was also like, spoiler alert, like, everybody
knows that part. And anybody's, like, familiar
with the case. He was also, like, organ
harvesting. Oh.
Yeah, yeah, stealing people's. Gold teeth and like melting down
and selling the gold. Yeah.
Oh, all right, I'm in. Yeah, it's fucking crazy.
I'm somehow watching too many shows yet not enough shows right

(01:13:49):
now because I have things I've watched like one or two episodes
of that like I do like, but I'm just like not crazy about.
Yeah, you get a lot of lot of irons in the fire.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I like, I need, I need like a
good reliable workhorse of the show that I can move forward to.
Well, I don't know. There's probably probably only

(01:14:09):
going to be like 3, maybe 4 episodes of this.
So like. Producing new stuff.
Great. Like that's even better because
yeah, something. Look forward to the fucking TJ
cooking 2 body, 200 bodies at a time.
Arby's new business model. We have the meats, literally.
Though they were talking about how they dug like a huge trench
for all the fat to like. To yeah, drain out of the kiln.

(01:14:35):
Can you watch Fight Club Harvestthat makes soap or nitroglycerin
for Christ's sake? Yeah, we could all be credit
card debt free Nitroglycerin. Yeah, definitely watch that.
Is there anything else? I I don't think there's anything

(01:14:56):
else really. I started watching that show
Tires on Netflix. It's pretty funny.
I gave that like an episode or two and it didn't really grab
me. I know they just dropped season
2. Yeah, I mean, like, it's just
like goofy dumb ass humor and like I could use that right now.
So yeah, I've been like on episode 6 or 7.
It's yeah, it's like offensive office, right?
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.

(01:15:18):
I like Shane Gillis, but I don'tknow if I want, you know, an
entire show's worth of him. Yeah, I don't know.
Like I, I it seems like wheneverhe got booted from Saturday
Night Live a couple years ago, like when that happened, like he
was dubbed like Shane, you know,St.
Shane Gillis of comedians. Oh, really?
And. Like, I just don't fucking

(01:15:38):
understand why. Like I it's just not my type of
humor. Like, like, you know, yeah.
So I don't know, I don't understand like why he's like as
big as. He, I think he's one of those
dudes that I really enjoy bits. If I see clips, I'll watch them
and I'll think they're hilarious.
But if I watch a whole thing, I'm like.
I can't even like pinpoint why. I mean, like he's kind of right

(01:15:59):
wing, which kind of puts me off,but like he's.
He's not like. Yeah, it's not like in his
comedy, though. Yeah.
So like, I've seen like the show.
I do laugh at it, but like everynow and again I'm just like, I
don't really like this dude. Yeah, I.
Can't explain why, like it's just fucking yeah.
But I do like the show. It is pretty funny.
Yeah. What else man that might be?

(01:16:21):
It I think that is it. Oh, Spaceballs 2.
I am very not excited for that. No, Fuck no.
I'm also going to make a you remember that I don't want to
come true, but I know it's like going to be true.
It's the last thing Mel Brooks is ever going to do.
He's not going to live to be in that movie like he will.
He definitely not going to live to see the premiere.

(01:16:44):
Maybe he's filmed his stuff already, Like hopefully I don't
know I. Mean he well if they're.
He looked pretty good in the in the in the thing they dropped
the other. Day.
Yeah, Rick Moranis is coming back.
Yeah, I really hate Josh Dad, though.
Like a lot. Yeah.
Yeah, he's not funny. Yeah, that's like the Drake and
Josh. Josh.

(01:17:04):
No, no, he plays. The snowman in.
Prison. Yeah, he's Olaf and frozen.
Oh, OK. Oh, for a while.
I know what you're talking about.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No, I'm not.
I'm not looking forward to that at all.
Like, do you remember the Spaceballs cartoon and how awful

(01:17:25):
that was? No, I've never seen it
thankfully. You need to soil the memory.
Of that, yeah, that was that wason the the ass end of G4.
That's right. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
That, like Spaceballs is like another like foundation of my
fucking movie like upbringing. Like, yeah.
They're you know what? I'm going to go out on a limb

(01:17:47):
here and say I've seen Spaceballs more time than I've
seen Star Wars. I can't go out on that.
Limb, It's close. Yeah, yeah, I understand.
Yeah, like the fucking singing alien at the end is always going

(01:18:07):
to make me laugh. Like hello my baby.
Yeah, fucking get this man some Pepto baseball.
The special I ordered the special.
Check please. Oh my God, fucking prime Mel
Brooks was undeniable. Yeah, I get the bad half.

(01:18:30):
There's a good half, a bad half.Debbie Schwartz.
Oh. Fuck.
It's firing assholes. It's just going to suck.
It's going to suck. Because they're just going to.
Like they're just. They're going to try to recreate

(01:18:50):
jokes from the first one that aren't going to be as fun.
They're going to reference everything.
Yeah. Really not looking forward to
Naked Gun with Liam Neeson. Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, Liam
Neeson was in 33 and a third, but like, who cares?
It's I. Don't think it's gonna be.
Funny. It's not.

(01:19:11):
It's not. I I, I don't think I ever wanted
to be more wrong about something, but I, I, I'm
trusting my gut on this one and I don't have high hopes.
Nobody from the original movies is alive to be in them anymore.
Like like that cast made those fucking movies.

(01:19:31):
Like that's what made those funny is those people and.
George Kennedy, and I hate to say it, OJ.
OJ was fucking good. OK, all dead.
Heroine, Frank heroine. That's a tall order.

(01:19:52):
Give me a couple of days. Fuck.
Jesus. Yeah.
Everyone should have a friend like you.
This. Fucking goes flipping over the
road. Oh God, Are you ready to get out
of here? Yeah, we'll drop a few plugs.
