None. Hey, everybody.
(00:50):
What? Let me just bump into that.
Yeah. Hey.
Hey, everybody. What's going on?
Welcome to Big Dumb Monsters. I'm Chris.
I'm Nick. And this week we are watching
the void. You probably haven't heard of
it. Maybe you have.
If you're like a deep cut or a person.
If you haven't, you're in for a treat because this is pretty
good. You're in for some cool like
(01:12):
cosmic horror, some cool practical effects.
It is not without flaws, but overall we really enjoyed it.
Yeah, it was definitely inspiredby movies that we all love and
the like. Us watching it this week was
inspired by watching How to KillMonsters last week.
I needed this. I needed this flavor.
(01:36):
So we're going to Babble on about the void for about an hour
and 15 minutes. Here we go on big dumb monsters.
Enjoy the show, it's a perfect doctor to stay in common.
The air itself is milled in the lobsters.
(02:25):
And there we are. Is it working?
It's working. It's working, it's working.
All is well. What's going on?
Man. It's Monday.
Just Monday in it up. It's Monday night.
It is 7:45. Well, no, it is 7:45.
Yeah, that's right. We rolled the five at 7:40.
(02:46):
That's inside baseball. It's not really.
It's just the way we advertise the show.
Yeah. When's your show on 745?
Yeah. Yeah, Monday night.
Guess who forgot to run a promo for this on Instagram?
Oh, this guy. Yeah, anyway.
That sucks. Yeah, We got to get back to like
(03:06):
running the promos like. Days ahead of.
During the week. Yeah, we'll get there.
Instead of just like the day of.Like an hour beforehand, Yeah.
Anyway, what's going on? It's big dumb monsters.
And this week we watched The Void.
Yeah, this was. I did enjoy this movie.
I haven't, I haven't seen it since it first came out, which
(03:28):
was 2016. Yeah, 20. 1617, yeah.
I remember liking it and this isthe first time I've watched it
since then, so I forgot most of it, Yeah, but it was pretty
good. It was enjoyable.
I. Really like it.
Couple of things I don't, yeah. Like, you know, definitely like
see the seams some places, you know, metaphorically speaking.
(03:48):
Yeah, yeah. Realistically, like the only
thing I don't love about this movie is these two characters of
the beginning. Yeah, they they.
Don't make sense. Well, it's not that they don't
make sense, but like there's like there's nothing story wise
(04:12):
with them. Like where did they come from?
Why are they in the house? Why are they on the rampage
against this cult? Had they find out about the
cult? That kind of stuff?
Like yeah, if you give me a where?
Did they? Go exactly.
Cotton eyed Joe Yeah, yeah, no. And like on top of that, they
(04:32):
make the one guy who can speak incredibly unlikable.
Yeah, he has 0 charisma and likeI just.
I'm fine with that. I don't know, I it's like he's
kind of a hero of the movie, himand the other cop.
(04:52):
Yeah. And like who also is just like a
blank slate, like Charisma. Was The thing is, there's not,
there really is no hero in this movie.
Yeah, Yeah, that's true you. Have a villain and you have a
group of people surviving the villain I think is kind of what
it boils down to and it's just situational heroics.
(05:15):
Yeah, but yeah, I don't give a shit about most of the people
dying, but I will say the practical effects pretty fucking
bad ass. They are.
They're great and like, are theythe top of the heap?
No. Is there shit from the 80s that
they're taking inspiration from that did it better?
(05:36):
Yes. Yeah, but it's a crowdfunded
movie. It's.
I did not know that. Yeah, I just ruined a trivia
fact, but it it suits my argument, so here we go.
But yeah, it's crowdfunded, so there's not shit loads of money
going to it. You can tell that they spent
their money wisely, which is kind of the same thing we said
(05:57):
for How to Kill Monsters last week.
You can tell that like they spend their money in the smart
way and then filmed around what might have been a problem.
You know what I mean? Because like in this movie, they
go whole hog on the practical effects, which is great, but
(06:18):
then you see a lot of like really tight shots and then
things like kind of out of focusor in silhouette.
One thing I really hated, I think when they first come
across the monster that, like, emerges, like from the nurse
when they're fighting it, it's like this strobing light in the
background that is just so distracting.
(06:40):
Yeah, like, I did that. Like, I just, I hated that.
Like it completely ruined the scene for me.
I don't, I don't hate a strobe light or a strobe effect.
I hate if it's like abused. And I see, I think, I think it
was abused because it went on for a long ass time.
Yeah, but they use it again later in the movie to a little
(07:02):
better effect. OK.
What was it like when they, I think it's when they go through
that portal, you get like a strobe effect or something,
something like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Alright,
yeah. It flashes for a second or two
and then it's then it's on. Yeah.
I mean, characters are good. Aside from like not getting any
(07:26):
real back story on the the two like cult hunter dudes.
Oh, TJ. Hey, TJ.
All right, kicking off that hypetrain.
Oh shit, yeah. I'll drink to that.
PBR Delicious. Yeah, that was a good choice,
(07:49):
yeah. I don't know, man.
Like, yeah, it wears all of its inspiration on its sleeve, but
it does enough different things with those inspirations that it
doesn't feel like it's panderingto people who are like, yo, you
remember these movies from the 80s?
(08:12):
Stewart's. Hey, that Stewart's doesn't
exist anymore. Yeah, no hydrating for real now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just, it's, yes.
Is this kind of an amalgamation of its influences?
Yeah, you can tell. It definitely takes a huge chunk
from like Sam Raimi like Evil Dead movies without the comedy
(08:36):
though. Very, very John Carpenter.
Yeah, that was very much Hellraiser like, especially the
ending. Yeah, you have the the skinless
like Doctor. Yeah.
But I'm cool with it because it it, it's not just a rehash of
those things like it's doing something different.
It's doing something kind of on its own.
(08:59):
I don't think it fires on all cylinders all the time.
Yeah, I know it does like drag alittle bit in the middle.
But I like that it like it once it's going, it's going.
And that's like what, 20 minutesinto the movie?
Yeah. Like when shit starts getting
weird, it just goes weird. Yeah, they do keep up, like,
what the fuck of it all, like, through the whole movie, which
(09:20):
is good, Yeah. Because just when you think you
kind of like, OK, this is going this way, like, what the fuck?
Like, yeah, yeah, it takes a turn.
Which is great. It's it's not it doesn't get, it
doesn't have time to get stale. Yeah.
And you know, it's what 90 minutes and pretty much yeah,
Yeah. The.
(09:41):
CPAC Ethics Committee. Hey, that committee doesn't
exist anymore. Yeah, yeah, No, I, I, like you
said, I, I wish like the lore was a little deeper.
Like give me a little bit more of what's going on with the
cultists. Like I want to know where these
fucking people. Are actually like I really not
(10:04):
to be argumentative about it, but like I think we get enough
of the cult like it just to keepit like interesting and not like
overbearing. Like this is the story of the
cult. Like you can kind of put two and
two together on that one, but some of the character stuff I
think we needed a little more on.
(10:24):
Like, that's really where I think that the shortfall is.
Yeah, I don't know, Like, to me,like, the fascinating thing is,
like, what person is like sitting at home at, like, 9:30
at night? Here's the fucking horn.
Yeah, it's like, got to get my cult outfit.
Like, you know, like fucking andwho's blowing the horns?
Like, what's up with that shit? Like, you know, I don't know
(10:49):
what else is there to say about this.
I didn't like the cop, the younger cop.
You don't. He again, he's not like, not
somebody I'm rooting for like. I don't think you're supposed to
though. Yeah, I think that's kind of the
point is like nobody in this movie is like a paragon.
Like nobody is like the quote UNquote hero.
(11:11):
It's just people in a situation and like this is just how people
are going to be. Yeah, yeah.
You know, like, I like that they're, they're all pretty
flawed. Actually.
The closest thing you have to a hero in this movie, I think is
the the fucking grandfather. Yeah, which that's not even
much. I gotta get my colt off.
(11:37):
No, we don't have art this week.Yeah, unfortunately.
We have producer Monique. Yes.
Yeah, I feel like there's like, there's not much depth to this
movie, so it's getting already difficult to like talk about
other things about it. Well, I mean, yeah.
(11:59):
I liked it. It's pretty fucking gnarly.
Like they don't spare the gore. Like, yeah.
Yeah, because and every, well, not everything, but almost
everything is practical. Yeah.
Like as much as they could humanly do.
Yeah. You know, once they get into
that alternate dimension, other planet, whatever the fuck that
is. Yeah, that's all CG.
That's all CG. Yes.
(12:20):
With a really kind of bad green screen.
Spoiler the other two survivors end up at the end of the last
Skywalker, a Rise of Skywalker, or that fucking huge floating
pyramid where the Emperor is re resurrected.
They're not really like the survivors, though.
Well, they both die. Well, he falls through the
portal, but she dies. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(12:41):
No, the survivors are the the trainee nurse and the the mute
kid. Yeah.
But yeah, I think it's just likeI like this movie because it
keeps you on your toes the wholetime.
Like you don't know who's going to survive, you don't know
(13:01):
what's going to happen next. It like, I guess it's like it's
one of the least predictable movies that I've seen in a
while. Debts for sure, yeah.
And yeah, 'cause like you, I, I saw this like a long time ago,
like when it was kind of fresh and maybe once after that, like
(13:22):
shortly after that. But it's it, the whole thing is
stuck with me, especially the the visuals, like the the the
cult outfits. I love it.
Like it's simple and it's effective and it's unsettling,
especially when they're all standing there and then on cue,
they all hold up the knife just like just to the side a little
bit. Fantastic.
(13:43):
That is a really creepy ass scene where they're just there
out of nowhere all of a sudden like.
It's just unsettling and it's fantastic.
And that's the thing too is like, you don't know who is in
this cult. Are these just regular town
townies are? These extra dimensional beings
like. Yeah, I like that mystery.
(14:07):
They like that. For me, that's a good amount of
mystery. Yeah, I guess you're right about
that. I made a snap deck this week.
I titled it Herbie's Simplex. Oh, Jesus.
Christ. Side note.
(14:28):
Awful. You should be ashamed.
Hello you noisy fuck. Donner's making his appearance
and taking off. All right, Yeah.
What else can we say? It's used to good effect, but
(14:53):
the lighting in this movie is just like everything is so
sickly. Seems like our first like couple
of dozen podcast episodes. Yeah, everything.
Is. Yellow streaming episodes it's.
Yellow and green look here. What do we like 10 minutes into
this movie? 18 minutes into this movie ish
and you already have the first fucked up thing.
(15:14):
Yeah. Woman pulling scissors out of a
dude's eye and cutting her own face off?
Yeah, fantastic. Fantastic.
I'm here for it. I'm in.
You know, do I want this in every movie?
No. But this doesn't call for a slow
burn. Yeah, this one is supposed to be
(15:35):
fast-paced. Everything goes to shit all at
once. Everything just ramps up in the
craziness. It's great.
I fucking love it. This is like, it is weird.
Well, it's not that weird because we mentioned it while we
were talking about it. But like, this is almost like an
alternate take of How to Kill Monsters, where it's like the
same concept, you know? And then like this is a much
(15:58):
more serious take on it than than How to Kill Monsters was.
Yeah, yeah. How to Kill Monsters was like
the Edgar Wright version of this.
Yeah, man, yeah. I, I tell people about this
movie all the time. Like anytime somebody's like, I
kind of want to watch like a weird movie and like fucking
watch The Void. Here's 1 you haven't seen.
(16:20):
Yeah. 'Cause it's, it's weird, but
it's not, it's not so far gone that you can't understand it and
that it's weird for no reason. Like they, they give you what's
going on and you, you don't haveto interpret a million things
and look for the symbolism and, you know, just like, fuck all
(16:42):
that, you know, this is not hereditary.
Yeah, it's not. It's straightforward with a with
a mystery in it. And to even specify a little
further, this is not so much Hellraiser one as it is
Hellraiser 2. Yeah, the whole hospital
setting. Like the Doctor.
(17:03):
It's weird but not uppity exactly.
All right, I guess we can jump into some ratings on this.
I'll take a set. This is it's enjoyable.
It's right to the point. There's nothing, I think
extraneous in this movie. Like, you know, all right, you
(17:25):
can cut this out. You can cut this out.
I think there were, I wish therewere scenes that were a little
bit more informative, a little better.
But overall for like a like an indie movie again, that like it
nobody's heard of. Yeah, I would go.
I feel like 8 is too high. It does.
Cosmic horror really well. It does.
It does that whole like kind of Lovecraftian thing.
(17:49):
No, I'm going to stick with thateight.
I'm going to stick with the eight.
I think they earn that mostly onthe back of the the really good
practical effects. This giant, like just amorphous
creature, you know, two of those, it's two different.
Ones. It's just chunks of people and
yeah, yeah. They're gross.
(18:10):
Yeah, I think I'm I'm right there.
I like I was, I was just going between like 7-5 and eight, but
I think 8 is 8 is where it. It feels right.
Feels right, yeah. Yeah, because there is room for
improvement, but it it's really impressive at the same time.
Yeah, you, you especially have to boil it down to what it is,
(18:33):
right? Like this is an indie movie that
does so much right? And like you, you get a lot of
indie movies where they're like,oh, we had to compensate because
we didn't have so much money or whatever.
Like the only thing that I am missing in this movie is some
additional story. Yeah, yeah.
Like I'm fine with what I have. Ending could have been a little.
(18:55):
Better ending, could have been alittle little stronger, but
fucking great. It's like I was entertained the
entire time. That's all I can ask.
All right. It's pretty solid.
Yeah. All right, so I think we should
move on to the trivia. All right, let's move on to
trivia. Still very bright.
(19:20):
Very, very. Washed out.
I even like toned it down. I like tried to make it unwashed
out. Oh, you're going to fuck with
the ISOI? Did.
Oh yeah, did. Unless it just reset itself in
the interval, which is entirely possible.
I don't. I don't care.
(19:40):
You can go to main camera if it's that like distracting.
No, I, I no. I'm going to sit here and glow.
I don't care. He's an 8 1/2 by 11.
Very white. That's actually much better I
think. Nope.
Nope. No, it's it's.
(20:01):
This light that is like at 30%. The light is the problem.
It's purple, it makes me pink. It's not how bright it is, it's
the colour and. He burnt like a lobster.
So I got burnt like a Maha vlogging.
If I put it on like, hold on, let's.
Turn off. Smart home shit is really tough.
(20:32):
Donner agrees. I will have you know Tji still
have not seen Wolfman. It's terrible.
Yeah, I bet. Oh my gosh, I'll be you.
Hey, that's better. What's that at like 2%?
Yeah, it is exactly at 2%. Yeah, that's the one.
(20:57):
That's the one for now on. Like my lighting, Like a like my
milk hole. Yeah, You know why, TJ?
Because it's easy to talk about a movie you hate.
You can bash that shit up and down all day, but talking about
(21:19):
a thing you like is is considerably harder.
It is because you want to, I don't know about you, but like I
always want to walk the line. Like if it's a movie that I
really, really like, God damn right.
I want to praise the movie, right?
But I also want to find things to talk about that I don't like
(21:44):
and to continually go like, I love this, I love this, I love
this, I love this is a little boring.
Like it. It feels like I'm kissing the
movie's ass. And I just, I would say
conversely, it gets boring to just go I hate this, I hate
this, I hate this, I hate this. Like, yeah.
Yeah, tossing movie salad. You know, like.
(22:04):
Some days it's syrup, some days it's Jelly.
Alrighty. Then 9. 1.
One this. Is emergency.
Ah, Christ. Thank you.
We are now. We try to never be boring.
(22:30):
We try to never be boring. That is the goal.
Is that a royal we? Yes, yes, let's say that.
OK, No, no, no, no. I mean, whatever.
This show is never boring else. That's right.
(22:51):
That's the one all right, on thetrivia.
The hospital used in the film was actually a former high
school, Sir James Dunn Collegiate and Vocational School
in Salt Ste. dot Marie. Sioux Saint Marie.
Oh, OK, that makes sense. Because this is Canadian.
(23:13):
Yeah. Yeah, in Ontario, Canada.
You know what? I have heard that a million
times. I've never seen it spelled.
Yeah, I, I, I used to be a geography major.
The only reason I remember that.Why the fuck would you be a
geography? What the fuck I wanted to do
when I got? To.
Geography, yeah, I, we used to analyze like satellite photos
and shit like fucking yeah, I made I made some nice maps and
(23:35):
I'll have you know. The school had been closed for a
while and was demolished not long after filming was
completed. And yeah, like, you look at that
hospital and you're like, is this in the 80s?
Yeah, it's Canada again. So like they just got the 90s
like a few weeks ago. The Void was a crowd funded
(23:56):
project which we had spoken about before.
I don't know if it was Kickstarter or or something
else, but oh, like a flock of birds.
This film was originally going to be shot in an actual
abandoned hospital, but the abandoned hospital that was
scouted to be used proved to be unsafe to shoot in.
(24:19):
Pussies, which means. Yeah, asbestos and holes in the
ground. Yeah, I.
Don't know about you, but like, I love these like weird
interstitial shots of like meat and then like.
Deep space and then deep space, yeah.
It's fucking weird and cool. Let's see here, though, and then
(24:47):
this is our our last trivia facthere.
The film makers say they intentionally leave the Black
Pyramid and much of the cult mystery to viewers to use their
own imaginations and create their own explanations and
theories. All right, fine.
And they, but they do it well. They like, they, they give you
enough to like give you an idea of what's going on.
(25:07):
And then they leave it a mystery.
I like clues. Then that's what they do.
They give you clues, Blues clues.
Blues or otherwise? Yeah, like, but we've said this,
you know, a bunch of times before.
Like, you don't have to lead me by the hand and feed me every
(25:29):
bit of information when it comesto this weird shit.
Give me a chance to do it on my own, and if I like what you've
got going on in the movie, I'll have an explanation for myself.
What are you doing over there? Are you imitating me in my hand
gestures? You are, aren't you?
No, I'm doing the. Billy Madison.
(25:53):
Over here, you're doing, you're doing the Madison.
Fucking don't. Worry about me over here.
OK. It's fine.
It's fine fine. It's fine, but that's it.
That's it for trivia. Oh boy.
But we have one star. Oh.
(26:15):
That's right, the ever fucking saving grace.
One star reviews. Yep, the time padding.
Time padding one star reviews OKhere.
This is called the avoid. It's dumb, but it works.
(26:35):
It works. It would be fine if there were
like 1000. Would like avoid this movie.
Oh God can I have my 90 minutes of life back?
Terrible period IA pile of nonsense, cliche lines, poor
acting IMD BS ratings are not trustful anymore.
(26:56):
No, they're fucking not. I could've told you that.
Some relatives or friends involved on the movie maybe, I
don't know, avoid it like the plague.
Avoid it like the annoyed it. It's 2 annoyed jokes in one day.
Come on, give me a little credit.
No, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it, and I'm
(27:21):
going to say it with my whole chest.
The Noid as a mascot was wasted on shitty pizza.
Yeah, 'cause that was way more popular than that pizza ever
will be. Yeah.
Yeah, Domino's Pizza is ass toilet.
Garbaggio, although I will say better than Little Caesars.
I won't say that I will. Cheesy bread, cheesy bread.
(27:44):
They knock it out of the park onthe cheesy bread, but.
Everything else like bottom likeof the barrel.
Better than Papa John's. I will give you that.
Yeah, yeah, better. Ingredients better.
Pizza, you going to drink that garlic sauce?
Why are there a couple random Peppers in the box?
(28:05):
I don't know all of you. Christ, yeah, here we go again.
Totally void of content. 0 substance movie.
After about half an hour you quickly get that the intro of
the movie has was nothing more than a substance.
(28:28):
Substance less side plot that doesn't go anywhere.
Does he by any chance happen to say when this review was written
or how old it is? Oh, I don't know, it probably
did on IMDb. Why?
Just curious, 'cause it's like the third time he's worked in a
substance like mentioned. And I'm, I'm wondering is this
is like some film snob who just watched the substance, The
(28:50):
substance. Oh no.
And he's now going back to shit on this.
No, no, no, This is well, this is the, this is the second
review. Oh yeah, 2 uses of the word
substance. No, these these are older than
the substance, which was great until the end.
Yeah, I'll give you that. Last 15 minutes.
(29:11):
That movie was trash. I still did enjoy it.
Yeah, sure, sure, some of the actors that play important roles
do their job well and there is some impressive contortionists
employed in this movie, but theyare so poorly used.
They have they have tried a Cthulhu angle and I'm going to
(29:32):
spell the Cthulhu the way they spell Cthulhu.
KATHOO LOOO cat Hulu cat Hulu angle to get They have tried a
Cthulhu angle to give this moviemore substance, but it turned
(29:55):
out to be a movie that you should never expect a sequel
from. I don't expect a fucking sequel.
Yeah, I know. I don't ever expect a sequel in
a movie. Yeah, this is the strobe light
thing I was talking about. Oh this is fucking annoying.
Oh, I I kind of liked it and this is what I was talking
about. When when I think this is them
(30:18):
masking some of the imperfections in the makeup.
Yeah, yeah, I get that. But like, fuck, it's God damn
distracting, Yeah. I think it was it's flashing a
little too quick. Yeah.
For what they're what they're going for the.
Strobe is too strobey. Yes, too, Strobey, I'm about to
have a seizure. Strobe.
(30:39):
You know the thing you cut your hair with with the vacuum?
Oh, come on, Donner, It wasn't that bad of a joke.
Fucking floby references floby. I like strobe.
(31:00):
Oh Jesus Christ, it's just too boring.
You can turn this movie into 1/2hour script and it might be
entertaining, but the way it is is just feels like a waste of an
hour and a half. Sorry, but I want my hour back.
Poorly conceived one out of 10. If you dumb this down to 1/2 an
(31:21):
hour you lose everything. Yeah, you lose a lot of the
creepiness and like the what thefuck again of it all, Yeah.
I just, I don't understand what people want from these kind of
movies. Like you have to have a certain
set of expectations, right? Like you look at this as an
independent, low to mid budget movie, you're going to get
(31:44):
certain things like you're not going to have the best cast in
the world, right? Like everybody in this is great.
Everybody does their job well. There's just no like, Oh my God,
that was an outstanding performance.
Like. It's just good EW.
(32:05):
Only for weddings and, you know,funerals.
Maybe you get the flow B. Jesus Christ.
Here's here's another one. Do not listen to the positive
reviews. I think I will actually, as
(32:25):
somebody who loves the thing Hellraiser.
And in the mind of Madness, you meant the Mouth of Madness, you
inept fuck. I can't believe these are the
films people compare The Void to.
Why 'cause it, it's fucking directly influenced by them.
Yeah yeah, you compare them because they're similar you dumb
(32:49):
fuck. This isn't quote the next modern
parentheses insert good film here.
It's just a really lazy rehash of better movies with none of
the soul and passion behind it. Everything about this film is
shallow, uninspired, and tired. The characters are boring and
(33:09):
interesting, the plot is vague and unoriginal, and the monster
designs are forgettable. I think you're wrong.
Most of those have got a. Lot like a lot of that.
Yes, there are practical monstereffects in this film, but the
design themselves are underwhelming and unoriginal.
Side plots are left by the wayside.
(33:31):
So don't expect any of your questions to be answered.
I will give you that yes, it does set up side plots and then
not really deliver on them. Yeah, but that's because they're
side plots. It doesn't have to like it.
We're worried about the main thing going on here.
Yeah, and this is going to be our last one star review
(33:54):
garbage. It should be plain and simple
one word review garbage. Do yourself a favor and learn
from others mistakes, disregard any references to the Thing,
quote old horror, etcetera, etcetera.
It is a simple BS. It's all much much emptier than
that. Idiotic acting, Absence of any
(34:15):
digestible plot or idea. Why this movie movie is in
quotes was. It's not like quote a movie.
It's a fucking movie. Yeah yeah was made.
It's not even C or D list. I'm a bit confused.
GH list movie lol Don't waste your time.
Nothing to find here. I guarantee you that was typed
(34:40):
out with like a live laugh love like plaque unironically on the
wall in the background. Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just fuck you anyway.
Yeah. That'll do it for the one star
(35:01):
reviews. That's it, time to move on to
the better known as. There we go.
We will start off with the directing team, because there
were actually 2 directors on this.
We'll start off with the first one, Jeremy Gillespie.
(35:26):
This is probably the biggest thing he's known for.
Hasn't directed anything since 2020 aside from this Chow Boys,
an American folk tale that showsup in a couple of people's BIOS
in this Inferno of the dead 2009Father's Day 2011.
(35:48):
And that's it for what's his name?
Jeremy. Wait, go back down.
Oh, he's got. Oh yeah, Shit, I forgot art.
Department, art department on like good shit.
Yeah, he's got the he's in the art department on Shape of
Water, The Boys Lock and Key it,Chapter 2, Scary Stories to Tell
in the Dark. That movie was actually pretty
(36:09):
good. I didn't see it.
The the first Shazam movie. Star Trek Discovery, The first
it, Fargo. The series, Suicide Squad, The
Bad One, The Poltergeist remake that everybody forgot about.
No, no. Hannibal the Series I.
(36:32):
Think this is where he needs to.Stick to the art department,
yeah? Stick to the art department.
I mean, whatever. I mean, he, he ventured out to
become a director of a of a goodmovie.
Yeah, but like, Jesus Christ, Pacific Rim, like this is where
the fucking payday is for him. Yeah.
All right, moving on, we have Steven Kostansky, who's had a
(36:56):
bit more success in the world ofhorror.
He most recently directed Frankie Frico, and we're seeing
that on a couple people's like best movies of last year list.
Really. Yeah, I haven't seen it.
He's working on something calledDeath Stalker.
I don't know if this is a remakeof that old movie I used to see
in the, like, the video store all the time.
(37:18):
Look at the coolest cover. It was like Death Stalker and
like, I don't know, it was like Barbarians or whatever.
Yeah, 'cause Death Stalker was aa fucking Frank Frazetta
character. OK.
Yeah, yeah. So he's like a hooded dude on a
horse with a giant axe? Yeah, yeah, He directed 4
episodes of a Day of the Dead TVseries.
(37:41):
I don't know where that. Aired.
That screams Sci-fi Channel. Yeah, I don't think I want it.
Well, it's got a 4.8, so I know I don't want to watch it.
Yeah, he directed a segment in VHS 94.
It was 2021. He directed Psycho Gore Man in
2020. I did not like that movie, but
people seem to fucking love it. I still haven't seen it.
(38:02):
It. Looks.
So weird. Yeah, it is very weird that I'll
give him. You know, the creature effects
are cool. It is like a very crazy, over
the top horrory horror comedy ofPower Rangers.
Kind of basically, yeah. There's a kid in it who is just
(38:23):
the most annoying actor, actress, character ever.
I ever. I cannot stand this fucking kid.
This fucking kid right here. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I just, I just did not enjoy
this movie and people seem to fucking love it.
(38:47):
I mean it, it seems pretty original, like not a whole lot
out there like it. Yeah, I'll give it that.
And that'll, that'll always bring people to a movie, you
know what I mean? Aside from that, he directed
Leprechaun returns 2018. He also directed.
That Cowboys thing we mentioned before, he directed.
(39:10):
That what? Like what the fuck is that?
I have no idea. It's a short so can't be
anything. 2-3 stupid Cowboys arelost in the woods without any
food and the gold isn't that of the year.
This has succumbed to the cold, cannibalism or the Christmas
spirit. No.
(39:30):
This does not sound enjoyable. It's.
The Donner Party Christmas special, is that what that was?
Pretty much, yeah. ABC's of Death Two we mentioned
Father's Day was mentioned in the other directors.
Oh, Manborg. Manborg 5.5 And that's really
(39:52):
laser ghosts. Laser Ghosts 2.
Oh my God. Return to laser.
Laser with AZ in the ghosts. Laser with an S in the Cove.
Yeah, the the. Classy place, yeah.
Proper way to spell that is withan S.
Yeah. OK then.
(40:17):
Broke back cannibals. Yeah, that's the one.
Death Stalker on the list of Schindler was great.
Jesus Christ, TJ. I should probably tell you this
guy's name, Aaron Poole. He was the less than charismatic
cop. I really just saved him because
(40:40):
he's like one of the main characters.
He really isn't in anything notable.
Really. It's all very Canadian.
Oh, he was in an episode of North Odds.
Colonel Tear. I don't know if he he was
playing the God Tear, but that like God.
Tear. Yeah, yeah, I I know.
(41:02):
I can see it spelled out. He was in that movie Spiral.
That was the like offshoot reboot I saw Donner's.
Just losing? No, not that one.
Is it? No, I assumed it sounded.
(41:23):
About no, that's a shudder original, I think.
Oh yeah. No, actually, that was good.
That was a good movie. Which the other one wasn't.
Yeah, all right, buddy. Why?
Why are we doing this? A lot of people really weren't
(41:50):
in a lot of things. This guy was in an episode of
Schitt's Creek and that's I think his biggest credit.
A lot of like. Lost Girl.
Yeah, this show was pretty good.Copper.
Copper. Yeah.
It was on BBC America. It was a police show set in like
the 1870s, eighteen 80s. Yeah, in New York City, all
(42:14):
right. Yeah, Yeah.
Sounds like it could be brutal. Yeah, it was, Buddy.
You wanna go inside? Yeah, most of this looks like
trash. Yeah, really like it all it
(42:34):
again. It seems like we're looking at
like movie credits from another dimension.
It's just Canada, Yeah. Yeah.
That's like when we find somebody who's like, in like,
you know, Italian or French films, they're just like, yeah,
I have no idea what any of theseare.
He wasn't an episode of The X-Files in 1995.
That was his first role I started.
Off with a bang. Yeah, and it just.
(42:57):
So how's that Kenneth Welsh? This is a dude.
Like, I know I've seen this guy and stuff and like I have, but
nothing like super memorable. He's still in stuff again.
Like I don't, I haven't heard offucking.
Kids in the Hall. I used an episode of the Kids in
the Hall reboot in 2022. Which was so good.
(43:21):
The Charmed reboot 2021, two episodes of Star Trek Discovery.
He is in Psycho Goreman. He's in Lodge 49.
That's probably where I knew himfrom.
Buddy, that was a show on AMC. I'm gonna have to escort him.
(43:52):
He was an episode of the Human Target 2010.
I get like. This is probably, yeah, that's
where I know him from. Yeah, Survival of the Dead 2009
crap. Yeah, he was in the Grey Gardens
TV movie of the IT was ATV movieabout ATV documentary.
What, from like the 70s? Feel free to shut that door
(44:15):
behind him when he goes in usingthe Bionic Woman remake from the
2000s. Fantastic Four, Rise of the
Silver Surfer. No, thank you.
Yeah, Smallville, one of the Stargate spin offs.
Oh, the exorcism. Exorcism of Emily Rose.
That was good. That was really good, yeah.
(44:38):
Four brothers. Aviator.
Was he? Oh yeah.
In The Aviator, it's. Fucking miracle.
Amazing. Oh yeah, He was in Miracle.
That was 2004. I was like, I'm going to cut it
off soon 'cause this dude's credits go on, like, way too
long. He was in that TNT Witchblade
series in like the early 2000. Yeah.
(45:04):
Before I knew it was a comic book.
Yeah, Erie, Indiana. That's an NBC show.
Yeah, I never actually saw that when I was a kid.
Yeah, it was. It was on like at 7:00 PM for
some reason. So I was like, never home when
it was on. Yeah.
All right. We're definitely going to move
it on from here. He's in Legends of the Fall 1994
(45:27):
with Brad Pitt and Time Cop 94. Yeah, with Jean-Claude Van
Damme, Kung Fu legend continues.I watched a lot of that.
Death wish, the faces of death. No, just the face.
Face, not the faces of death. Sorry, yeah, that's a different.
(45:48):
I kind of wish Charles Bronson had a different face.
All right, we're going to, oh, using Twin Peaks also for 10
episodes. Wyndham, Earl.
Oh shit. All right, moving on.
Ellen Wong did not put this together.
She is most well known for beingKnives Chow and Scott Pilgrim
(46:09):
versus the World. I thought she looked familiar.
Yeah, I did not even realize it until I saw this.
Like, Oh yeah. She was also in 29 episodes of
The Glow. He knocks the highlights out of
her hair. She did the voice of that
(46:29):
character in the animated Scott Pilgrim series.
Other than that. She was in like a bunch of glow,
but like I started watching thatand I was like entertained
because it was a good show. And then I just like.
I stopped caring. Yeah, I did finish it.
(46:50):
I just don't remember much aboutit.
She's she's in an episode of Castle.
I feel like she was in somethingelse that we talked about.
Maybe. Nope.
Oh my God, Scott Pilgrim versus the World was 15 years ago.
(47:10):
Disgusting. Oh God.
Oh Lord, that hurts. Moving on.
Yeah, Art Hindle was in this movie.
He was the older cop. I believe we possibly talked
about him before. I don't think we did.
(47:32):
Probably. Yeah, he's in something called
You Don't Know Dick upcoming. Aside from that, it was Steve
has been like Private Dick. Yeah, there we go.
I had to have saved him for somefucking reason.
(47:56):
Pride, Prejudice and mistletoe. Oh.
TJ. No ersty gnome.
I've never shot a dog. Jesus Christ.
(48:21):
Yeah, there's a lot of like, nothing.
Why did I save this fucking guy,Degrassi?
Yeah, let's say that. Yeah, Oh my God.
And you're like halfway through and it's only 2000. 2000 and
five, 2005. Was he in murder?

Beverly Hills nine O 2 and O Poltergeist the legacy he's the
students all over syndicated TV in the 90s anyway Walker Texas

Missus King. Oh good, Porky's 2.
Yeah, he's in Porky's one and two.
Ted Jarvis. He's in Walking Tall, the TV

the obvious reasons. Beretta.
Starsky and Hutch, he's in BlackChristmas, also in 1974.
(50:42):
That might be the last. Yeah, we're done there.
We're moving on. Yep.
We're gonna blouse through the rest of these cause fucking
Jesus, Stephanie Belding is in this movie.
It's just a a graphic of a cat pissing.
Yeah, that's cool. Your home smell like cat pee?
Yeah, try this. She.
(51:03):
Does your home smell like cat pee?
Is that in your algorithm? What are you telling me she was
in the Watchmen movie in 2009? It might be her biggest credit.
She's in Murder Bot which I hearis awesome.
I just have not watched. It's on Apple TV.
(51:23):
Ghosts. I've seen a few episodes of and
it is funny. I've heard, I've heard good
things about it, I I just haven't seen it.
Yeah, I just, yeah, I haven't really, like, sat down to watch
the whole thing. Star Trek Discovery shows up
again. Lots of Canadian ass shows.
Schitt's Creek shows up again. Well, it doesn't help that like
(51:48):
75% of everything is shot in Canada.
Yeah, 5050 with Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon Levitt.
Slap shot 3. Nope, straight to video.
No, no, no, that's not a thing that didn't happen.
She's an episode of Reaper. That's probably it for the known
(52:10):
stuff. Yeah.
Existence, 1999. The Cronenberg movie.
Yeah. Evan Stern was in this story.
He was James. He's the criminal dude who's
like, handcuffed. Yeah, he's the the pill header

Letterkenny. Yeah.
He's rolled. Rolled I started watching that,
enjoyed it, and then just stopped watching it and.
Like oh really? Yeah, yeah, I loved it.
Yeah, it at the end like the last like season is like meh.
But then you get the spin off show of Shorty.
(52:54):
Yeah, yeah, he also shows up in American Gods Killjoys.
It was 2018. The Strain, another Canadian
film show, and RoboCop, the 2014.
Yeah, I keep, I keep meaning to give the strain another shot
because like when it first hit TV on FX.
(53:17):
Yeah. I watched like the first like 2
episodes or whatever and it just, it did nothing for me.
Yeah. But I keep hearing that like it,
it, it is good. I liked it, yeah.
It was a book first, like, right?
Yeah, I think Guillermo del Torohelped.
And he somebody write co-authored it.
Yeah. Matthew Kennedy up next.
(53:40):
I saved him because he was in the recent Lord of the Rings
anime. The War to War, The War of the
Rohiram. Didn't everyone hate that?
I heard I didn't squeeze say it was good.
I don't take his opinion for shit.
Noted. Yeah, yeah, it's anime, so I'm
(54:01):
not going to watch it. Like, yeah.
You're missing out on a lot of stuff.
I probably am, I just fuck I like I just animation just
annoys me. Same.
Don't like the art style? Yeah, he's in the last video
store documentary. That was 2023.
(54:21):
Or is it the documentary? Or is that just something else?
Nope, that's something else. That's something else I'm
thinking of. The last blockbuster.
Yep. Which I think is now close.
Gone, yeah. I don't know if they're still
doing with the travelling thing.He's in another wolf man or
another wolf cop? Yeah, another wolf.
(54:42):
Cop. That's why I saved him.
We have to. We have to do that someday.
Gross. What's the sound of one hand
fapping? And then laser ghosts too, which
shows up again. Return to Laser Cove.
(55:03):
Yeah, you're gonna kill me, TJ. Yeah, OK.
I'm just dehydrated, but I was getting that weird like, stomach
like from drinking. Yeah, yeah.
Trish Reynone Deluzio, who I have actually had on my old
(55:23):
podcast several times. I did not realize it until I was
watching this movie. Yeah, we did a bunch of podcasts
together. She used to do a web series
called My Roommate is an Escort.I think she was the creator.
I had her and like one of the actresses on like a couple of
times. Didn't even didn't even realize
it. No shit.
(55:43):
Yeah, I didn't say the reason hesaved it.
She was the mother she'd want toget shot in the beginning,
maybe, I think. No.
Is there any other mother in this movie?
(56:09):
Yeah, when you get that glimpse of what could have been, what's
his face, his family. Being shot.
Oh yes, maybe that was her. Yeah, I don't remember what she
looked like. So.
I don't think you really saw herother than like a bloody kind of
body. Yeah.
Was she anything other than her show?
(56:30):
I don't believe so. Oh, she's in an episode.
The Umbrella Academy. Belushi's toilet.
Belushi's toilet. This is fucking fucking Johnny
Carson skit. What the fuck was that
(56:54):
character? Oh, Karnak.
Karnak the great Karnak. Yeah.
Belushi's toilets. Oh.
Oh God, TJ, Yeah. Yeah, no, TJ, trust me.
You haven't seen me drink. You've seen me drink alcohol.
(57:15):
You haven't seen me drink alcohol.
Fucking anyway, this dude Jason Death Rage.
That's the fucking coolest name ever.
It kind of is, yeah. Probably pronounces it like
Dutharage. It's Dutharage.
No, your name's Death Ridge, dude, just fucking go with it.
(57:38):
You sound like AGI Joe character.
Yeah, Fuck yeah. Yeah, he was a monster puppeteer
and Beau is afraid and fuck I hated that movie, although I I
was like all this close to goingto see the new Ari Astron movie
this weekend. What the fuck is the new Ari
Astron movie? Eddington with Pedro Pascal and
(58:00):
fucking what's his name? Joaquin Phoenix.
Why am I not remembering seeing anything about that?
Because it was barely fucking advertised.
Oh yeah, Somehow Beau was afraid.
Didn't make any money. I wonder why.
Oh. Well, oh, poultrygeist.
(58:21):
Yeah, Night of the Chicken Dead and Last up Chris Nash.
Oh. He's the mute.
Yes. Oh shit.
Yeah, he is actually quite a well known horror writer and
director right now. Hell yeah.
(58:41):
Yeah, he's been in some. He was in Psycho Gore Man.
He wrote in A Violent Nature andis writing the upcoming sequel,
which again, I he also directed into Violent Nature.
Yeah, I I didn't love that movieas much as everybody else did.
It's a very split camp. Yeah, it's a very and I can
(59:02):
understand it. I liked it because it's very
different. Yeah.
Like I'm tired of seeing like the same old slasher movie.
I dig that it's something different.
They made a lot of mistakes in that movie.
Yeah, yeah. I, I I'm gonna have to give it a
second shot. Yeah, but I am totally on board
(59:25):
with you. That the fucking 10 minute
exposition fucking crunch. No that I liked.
Oh, the ending. The end that.
Fucking that car ride. Insufferable.
Yeah, it seems like it just goeson and on and on and on.
That's. 'Cause it does.
Yeah, and guess what? Nothing happened.
You can fucking leave. Literally nothing you.
(59:45):
Can get up and leave, you gain. Nothing from that.
You gain a hatred of the movie you just watched.
It's so bad. But that'll do it for the
better. Known as Eddington was not about
the bear in the raincoat, no. Say that'll do for the better
(01:00:11):
known. Under the crapshoot.
Oh, hey, we're on. Hey, yeah, I watched some movies
this week. Did you?
Did I go to the movies this week?
Probably yes. You always go to the movies.
What? The fuck came out this week?
I went Friday. God damn.
It How many times did you see Superman?
(01:00:32):
Oh. I know what I saw.
Oh, that's thought it'd be good.No it wasn't, trust me.
How to join your dragon? No, no, no, I heard that
actually was good. I like I don't know if my wife
doesn't have crappy movie radar.No.
She's not, but she was dead set on going to see I know what you
(01:00:57):
did last summer. It was it was like it.
It is easily my worst horror movie of the year it was.
All of them sucked. It was so bad.
The original sucks. Yeah, it was so bad.
Nothing redeeming about it. And credits.
(01:01:19):
Yeah, apparently there was a post credits scene.
I'm like. Oh really do?
You know what, I'm good. I don't need the post credits on
that. You know what I just saw what
had a fucking post credits sceneand I didn't watch it was
sinners. Yes, has two post credits
scenes. Oh, does it?
Yeah. There's the, you know, the big
one that everybody talks about, like the you know where.
In the bar in like the 80s or whatever you.
(01:01:40):
Didn't watch that. I didn't see it.
No 'cause like the credits rolled and I, well, the credits
rolled and I'm like, OK, cool. Like, there's nothing about that
movie that makes me think there's gonna be a fucking post
credit Stinger. Yeah, yeah.
No, it's yeah. Smoke and Mary in the 90s.
Stack. Or Stack in 90s and the Mary in
the 90s. Yeah.
And then yeah. What's his name?
(01:02:01):
Preacher Boy? Yeah, what's that movie?
Is Fight just watched on HBO again?
God damn it, I love that movie. Fury drafts the vampires and the
adventures. Yeah, but they had.
There's a second one and it's Preacher boy playing.
Is it this little light of mine?Yeah, playing this little light
of mine in the church. And then at the end of the song,
(01:02:23):
he just looks up at somebody andyou don't know who the fuck he
looks up at. So the theory is like, he sold
his soul to the devil to be ableto play good, you know, play
music well. And like, that's why that's what
brought on the vampires. Like.
Yeah. But yeah, I know what you did
last summer was fucking bad. Yeah, I bet I they're all trash.
(01:02:52):
They're all all those movies fucked and sucked.
Yeah. And I only saw two of them.
I I could not remember one single thing about the second
one. I know I saw it.
Yeah, couldn't tell you a thing about it.
I actually watched the Minecraftmovie this week.
It's not bad. It was kind of fun.
It's not bad. I like I already got my
(01:03:14):
questions queued up for that kidnext week.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Randy Quaid bailed. God damn.
Oh, did he really? Yeah.
Who'd have thought Randy Quaid could flake on something?
Yeah, I I wanted to talk about Quick Change so bad.
That movie is amazing. The only one.
Yeah, no, I guarantee you I would have got, people would
(01:03:35):
have like, well, film people would have got like something
out of it. Yeah.
But yeah, I know he's not gonna be there.
What the fuck else did I? I almost watched A woman in the
yard yesterday, but I heard thatwas really bad.
Like the trailers look interesting?
Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's gonna look curiosity.
Good, but they look interesting.Yeah, I read that comic this
(01:04:00):
week. Predator, Black, white and
blood. Yeah, pretty fucking dope.
Yeah, It's, it's, it's, it's Marvel, but it's, they only use
for color wise, black and white,red and green, cause Redditor
blood is green. So it's, you know, visually it's
really cool. It's like 3 or 4 short stories.
(01:04:22):
It seems like the first one thatthey first one in the book is
going to be like serialized. It's set like in the Old West.
And then there's, like, I think I, if I was reading it
correctly, I think it's from thePredator's point of view.
All right, again, my story's confused.
Yeah. The last story in the book is
from the Predator's point of view, which is kind of cool.
(01:04:45):
But the first one is like, there's like this travelling,
like circus. And like, their star attraction
is like, I forget what they callthem, but it's a fucking
Predator. They have like, chained up and
like, they cut one of those armsoff.
Yeah, Yeah. They cut off the arm with the
bomb and like the guy like running the the the like the
sideshow has it like on a staff like.
(01:05:05):
That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK. So yeah, I, I'm really fucking
digging that one. Kind of pick up the the other
issues when they come out. TJ asked.
How many times have the Predators come to Earth?
I don't know but like. Yeah, it seems like it's a
running thing at this point, like.
Yeah, it's, it's getting a little stale, but at at least
(01:05:31):
6-7. Yeah, right.
Yeah. Well, I know.
I think in the lore, like Earth is like a like a hunting ground.
Like a known like hunting ground.
Yeah. Yeah.
Every day when you live in America.
Yeah. Just ask Chris Hansen, why don't
you? Have a seat.
(01:05:58):
We went to Six Flags New Englandand I got sunburned everywhere.
Top of the head, front, back, feet.
That's that's classy. Yeah.
(01:06:19):
Oh man. It's good.
It's, it's, it's not like severesunburn.
It's just enough to be like, that's uncomfortable everywhere.
I when I saw the Ramones when I was fucking 16, it was an
outdoor show, Yeah. Did not put on sunblock.
And I got sunburned so bad that my skin was just, like,
(01:06:40):
sloughing off, like in the next couple of days, yeah.
Yeah, what was that like? Tulip Fest where it was like.
Park Fest. E Park.
Fest just outside, yeah. Yep.
Showed up at like 9:00 in the morning, left at like 6.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch some more Parks and rec.
(01:07:01):
That's fun. I think we we finished the
season 1 right I. Think so.
Yeah, I think we like started episode 1 of season 2.
All right, that's fun. Yeah, I, I watched, we watched a
little bit more of Mortician. That's so fucked up.
Oh, that's Taco E. The hell.
(01:07:21):
Yeah, side note, there's new late night Taco Doritos.
Pretty fucking good. Yeah, they taste just like Taco
Bell. It's weird.
That is odd. Yeah, it sounds.
Like. Diarrhea.
It does. Sure it will be.
I really miss the fucking black pepper Jack Doritos.
Yeah, that does sound really good.
They were fucking great. All right.
(01:07:45):
They were on, they sold them forlike 2 years in like I don't
know, 2000 and four 2003 two. 1004 gone.
They're yeah do not exist anymore.
They're. They're getting a little crazy
with the Doritos. There's like fucking, I saw
ketchup. I saw dill Pickles.
There's mustard. There's mustard ones.
(01:08:07):
Yeah, ketchup and mustard came out at the same time.
Yeah, like, all right, guys, fucking slow it down.
Yeah, and they did like the roulette ones where it's like a
regular bag of Doritos and then like a couple of like, shit your
pants. These are hot Doritos.
Oh God, I. Don't get it dude, like who's
(01:08:30):
buying those? Somebody's got to be buying.
The crazy flavored Oreos. Hey, hey, yeah, look, let's not
be too hard on the Oreos, all right?
The Selena Gomez ones were kind of good.
Post Malone ones were good too. I was telling her this like I
don't understand why Selena Gomez is popular enough to have
a a flavor of Oreo. Hawk Oreo, they were, they were
(01:08:51):
just chocolate and cinnamon, butit's really fucking good.
Right. But like, why?
Selena Gomez, TJ, you're a different kind of animal.
Just just going to put it out there.
Yeah. But like, yeah, Doritos did like
(01:09:14):
the fucking Buffalo wing and blue cheese and they were God
awful. Yeah, yeah.
God awful you. Ever have the Buffalo wing blue
cheese combos? Yeah, all so awful.
Yeah, all so fucking terrible. Yeah, this tastes like shampoo.
I like, I don't. I don't want things flavored
(01:09:35):
like blue cheese unless it. Is blue cheese, Yeah.
Did we watch anything else this week?
I don't remember. Yeah, I feel like I did.
If I did, it was a kids movie ofsome kind.
Oh, Strange New Worlds is back? Oh yeah, I watched the first
(01:09:59):
episode. It was pretty fucking badass.
Oh, you started. Watching Nautilus.
Yes. Oh, that's right.
Yeah. I was watching Nautilus, yeah,
it's got like the 90s adventure TV vibes all right with like, I
never watched it, but I assume it's similar to what like
Seaquest would have been. All right, I can get on board
with this. TJ has had Buffalo wing soda and
(01:10:25):
blue cheese soda. Jones soda I think makes those.
Yeah, they make like gravy soda too.
They. Make everything.
It's fucking foul. Yes 100%.
But yeah Nautilus is fucking rad.
I forget his name but he like the the guy that plays Nemo was
(01:10:49):
in Star Trek Discovery. Yes, yeah, yeah.
And Penny? Dreadful and penny dreadful,
Yeah. Cool.
Yeah, definitely check it out. It's on MC plus.
Yeah, I do. I do have that.
Yeah, I think the five maybe 6 episodes are out so.
Star Trek picks up where the cliffhanger left off.
Like where they're starting thisgiant fucking battle with the
(01:11:10):
Gorn. Yeah, it was pretty dope.
I got to, I got to go back and finish all that.
Yeah. It's just so much of it now.
Yeah, there I feel like there's like nothing.
Leave the card out of it. I The first season was good.
It was good because, like, the nostalgia was hitting just
right. Yeah, I would.
I if you haven't watched the second season, I would say skip
(01:11:33):
it and go right to three and youmight like it.
Like I I just quit halfway through three, but because I
don't have like the much of likethe next generation, like
nostalgia. It was just getting the band
back. Yeah, it's getting the band back
together for like 1 big fucking,you know.
But yeah, season 2 was just straight up garbage.
(01:11:55):
What the fuck else did I watch? I don't know.
I feel like this. Well, we yeah did.
You play anything. Fuck no other than snap high
voltage back this week. Yeah, I saw that.
(01:12:18):
I've been trying to get more into MTG Arena lately.
That's like the when I sit down to play a game, that's kind of
what I play because I'm a huge nerd.
I like Magic, but I've got a deck that I'm building that
(01:12:39):
because in that game you can like pick these cards that you
don't have and you get like wildcards that you can use to to
basically like cheat the system because you didn't open them in
your packs. But I need a lot more wild cards
to be able to finish that deck and I'm not going to buy them
(01:12:59):
because that. Sucks because fuck that shit.
I'm super hyped for the Fantastic Four this week.
Is that this week? The reviews are starting to come
out and they're saying it's fucking I'm.
Not going to pay attention to the reviews but I just I know
that stylistically that movie looks rad.
Yeah, yeah, the whole like retrofuture vibe is so cool, so I'm
(01:13:21):
hyped about that. Hey, we're going to have a date
night. Do you want to go see Fantastic
Four with me? Oh, OK.
It's got Daddy, it's got a new date.
It's got Daddy Pascal in it. He's.
Not my daddy. Oh.
(01:13:41):
The thing is pretty sexy. Yeah, look at him.
Rock hard ABS. I mean, come on, Rock.
Hard everything. Yeah.
What comic? Everything like comic wise?
I picked up the chainsaw and Bobmeet Archie comic.
(01:14:03):
I haven't read it yet though. Oh Jesus, who the fuck put that
out? Kevin Smith and Archie comics?
Yeah. Is that it?
Oh, have you? We haven't talked about this.
Have you watched the new Predator animated movie?
I haven't. It's fucking good.
Which one is it 'cause there's like 2 new predator things
(01:14:24):
coming out right? It's something of blood or
something. Something something.
It's on Hulu. Yeah.
It's on Hulu. Yeah.
Yeah. It's like 3 segments, the first
one is set like in Viking times,the second one is like set in
like you know, feudal Japan. And then the last one is set
(01:14:46):
during World War 2 and then theyall converge at the end and
that's really fucking dope. I think one of, I think, I think
some of the shit from that is going to be in the new one.
Predator Badlands 'cause they'relike there's a scene where they
go to like the Predator home world and like they meet like
(01:15:08):
the fucking Predator king and like I'm pretty sure they show
him in the fucking trailer. For Predator King, huh?
How about the Predator PresidentI.
Thought he I thought he hung himself in jail.
Those files don't exist. Yeah, there's nothing there.
(01:15:31):
Why are we still talking about that?
But it, it was so much better than I was expecting it to be.
Yeah, it's really fucking good. OK.
And then I, I, I so like it's, it's all Dan Trachtenberg, the
guy who did pray, and he's doingBadlands too.
So I'm super hyped for that now.OK, yeah.
(01:15:53):
Alien, the Alien TV show is coming out soon.
I'm hyped for that. I keep hearing good things might
be almost as good as aliens, whoknows?
It's not a not a high bar I guess.
No, it is because I mean, that'sthe the best of those movies.
Like, yeah, it's. Not I.
Mean it is though, like. The best?
(01:16:14):
It is the best. It is the best action movie in
the Alien franchise, yes. You are right, it is the best
movie in the Alien franchise. You are 100% correct.
How'd you find a sound clip of Chris's opinion?
It's so weird. Yeah, I think.
(01:16:41):
That's it. But.
We're we're squeezing every oz out of this show.
I think it's just time to let itgo.
I am like 99% certain I'm about to go see Superman again.
When's the showing? 10:00 Oh boy.
Yeah, which means it doesn't start till 10:30.

Yeah, I saw you drinking meat and smoking cigars.
If I remember the back of the label on that cigar, was that a
(01:18:06):
Rocky Patel? It was.
Just disgusting. No, they're they're good.
I'm disgusting. The fact that I can recognize
labels like that. Yeah, yeah.
Fucking stupid. No, yeah, we were drinking.

(00:50):
What? Let me just bump into that.
Yeah. Hey.
Hey, everybody. What's going on?
Welcome to Big Dumb Monsters. I'm Chris.
I'm Nick. And this week we are watching
the void. You probably haven't heard of
it. Maybe you have.
If you're like a deep cut or a person.
If you haven't, you're in for a treat because this is pretty
good. You're in for some cool like
(01:12):
cosmic horror, some cool practical effects.
It is not without flaws, but overall we really enjoyed it.
Yeah, it was definitely inspiredby movies that we all love and
the like. Us watching it this week was
inspired by watching How to KillMonsters last week.
I needed this. I needed this flavor.
(01:36):
So we're going to Babble on about the void for about an hour
and 15 minutes. Here we go on big dumb monsters.
Enjoy the show, it's a perfect doctor to stay in common.
The air itself is milled in the lobsters.
(02:25):
And there we are. Is it working?
It's working. It's working, it's working.
All is well. What's going on?
Man. It's Monday.
Just Monday in it up. It's Monday night.
It is 7:45. Well, no, it is 7:45.
Yeah, that's right. We rolled the five at 7:40.
(02:46):
That's inside baseball. It's not really.
It's just the way we advertise the show.
Yeah. When's your show on 745?
Yeah. Yeah, Monday night.
Guess who forgot to run a promo for this on Instagram?
Oh, this guy. Yeah, anyway.
That sucks. Yeah, We got to get back to like
(03:06):
running the promos like. Days ahead of.
During the week. Yeah, we'll get there.
Instead of just like the day of.Like an hour beforehand, Yeah.
Anyway, what's going on? It's big dumb monsters.
And this week we watched The Void.
Yeah, this was. I did enjoy this movie.
I haven't, I haven't seen it since it first came out, which
(03:28):
was 2016. Yeah, 20. 1617, yeah.
I remember liking it and this isthe first time I've watched it
since then, so I forgot most of it, Yeah, but it was pretty
good. It was enjoyable.
I. Really like it.
Couple of things I don't, yeah. Like, you know, definitely like
see the seams some places, you know, metaphorically speaking.
(03:48):
Yeah, yeah. Realistically, like the only
thing I don't love about this movie is these two characters of
the beginning. Yeah, they they.
Don't make sense. Well, it's not that they don't
make sense, but like there's like there's nothing story wise
(04:12):
with them. Like where did they come from?
Why are they in the house? Why are they on the rampage
against this cult? Had they find out about the
cult? That kind of stuff?
Like yeah, if you give me a where?
Did they? Go exactly.
Cotton eyed Joe Yeah, yeah, no. And like on top of that, they
(04:32):
make the one guy who can speak incredibly unlikable.
Yeah, he has 0 charisma and likeI just.
I'm fine with that. I don't know, I it's like he's
kind of a hero of the movie, himand the other cop.
(04:52):
Yeah. And like who also is just like a
blank slate, like Charisma. Was The thing is, there's not,
there really is no hero in this movie.
Yeah, Yeah, that's true you. Have a villain and you have a
group of people surviving the villain I think is kind of what
it boils down to and it's just situational heroics.
(05:15):
Yeah, but yeah, I don't give a shit about most of the people
dying, but I will say the practical effects pretty fucking
bad ass. They are.
They're great and like, are theythe top of the heap?
No. Is there shit from the 80s that
they're taking inspiration from that did it better?
(05:36):
Yes. Yeah, but it's a crowdfunded
movie. It's.
I did not know that. Yeah, I just ruined a trivia
fact, but it it suits my argument, so here we go.
But yeah, it's crowdfunded, so there's not shit loads of money
going to it. You can tell that they spent
their money wisely, which is kind of the same thing we said
(05:57):
for How to Kill Monsters last week.
You can tell that like they spend their money in the smart
way and then filmed around what might have been a problem.
You know what I mean? Because like in this movie, they
go whole hog on the practical effects, which is great, but
(06:18):
then you see a lot of like really tight shots and then
things like kind of out of focusor in silhouette.
One thing I really hated, I think when they first come
across the monster that, like, emerges, like from the nurse
when they're fighting it, it's like this strobing light in the
background that is just so distracting.
(06:40):
Yeah, like, I did that. Like, I just, I hated that.
Like it completely ruined the scene for me.
I don't, I don't hate a strobe light or a strobe effect.
I hate if it's like abused. And I see, I think, I think it
was abused because it went on for a long ass time.
Yeah, but they use it again later in the movie to a little
(07:02):
better effect. OK.
What was it like when they, I think it's when they go through
that portal, you get like a strobe effect or something,
something like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Alright,
yeah. It flashes for a second or two
and then it's then it's on. Yeah.
I mean, characters are good. Aside from like not getting any
(07:26):
real back story on the the two like cult hunter dudes.
Oh, TJ. Hey, TJ.
All right, kicking off that hypetrain.
Oh shit, yeah. I'll drink to that.
PBR Delicious. Yeah, that was a good choice,
(07:49):
yeah. I don't know, man.
Like, yeah, it wears all of its inspiration on its sleeve, but
it does enough different things with those inspirations that it
doesn't feel like it's panderingto people who are like, yo, you
remember these movies from the 80s?
(08:12):
Stewart's. Hey, that Stewart's doesn't
exist anymore. Yeah, no hydrating for real now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just, it's, yes.
Is this kind of an amalgamation of its influences?
Yeah, you can tell. It definitely takes a huge chunk
from like Sam Raimi like Evil Dead movies without the comedy
(08:36):
though. Very, very John Carpenter.
Yeah, that was very much Hellraiser like, especially the
ending. Yeah, you have the the skinless
like Doctor. Yeah.
But I'm cool with it because it it, it's not just a rehash of
those things like it's doing something different.
It's doing something kind of on its own.
(08:59):
I don't think it fires on all cylinders all the time.
Yeah, I know it does like drag alittle bit in the middle.
But I like that it like it once it's going, it's going.
And that's like what, 20 minutesinto the movie?
Yeah. Like when shit starts getting
weird, it just goes weird. Yeah, they do keep up, like,
what the fuck of it all, like, through the whole movie, which
(09:20):
is good, Yeah. Because just when you think you
kind of like, OK, this is going this way, like, what the fuck?
Like, yeah, yeah, it takes a turn.
Which is great. It's it's not it doesn't get, it
doesn't have time to get stale. Yeah.
And you know, it's what 90 minutes and pretty much yeah,
Yeah. The.
(09:41):
CPAC Ethics Committee. Hey, that committee doesn't
exist anymore. Yeah, yeah, No, I, I, like you
said, I, I wish like the lore was a little deeper.
Like give me a little bit more of what's going on with the
cultists. Like I want to know where these
fucking people. Are actually like I really not
(10:04):
to be argumentative about it, but like I think we get enough
of the cult like it just to keepit like interesting and not like
overbearing. Like this is the story of the
cult. Like you can kind of put two and
two together on that one, but some of the character stuff I
think we needed a little more on.
(10:24):
Like, that's really where I think that the shortfall is.
Yeah, I don't know, Like, to me,like, the fascinating thing is,
like, what person is like sitting at home at, like, 9:30
at night? Here's the fucking horn.
Yeah, it's like, got to get my cult outfit.
Like, you know, like fucking andwho's blowing the horns?
Like, what's up with that shit? Like, you know, I don't know
(10:49):
what else is there to say about this.
I didn't like the cop, the younger cop.
You don't. He again, he's not like, not
somebody I'm rooting for like. I don't think you're supposed to
though. Yeah, I think that's kind of the
point is like nobody in this movie is like a paragon.
Like nobody is like the quote UNquote hero.
(11:11):
It's just people in a situation and like this is just how people
are going to be. Yeah, yeah.
You know, like, I like that they're, they're all pretty
flawed. Actually.
The closest thing you have to a hero in this movie, I think is
the the fucking grandfather. Yeah, which that's not even
much. I gotta get my colt off.
(11:37):
No, we don't have art this week.Yeah, unfortunately.
We have producer Monique. Yes.
Yeah, I feel like there's like, there's not much depth to this
movie, so it's getting already difficult to like talk about
other things about it. Well, I mean, yeah.
(11:59):
I liked it. It's pretty fucking gnarly.
Like they don't spare the gore. Like, yeah.
Yeah, because and every, well, not everything, but almost
everything is practical. Yeah.
Like as much as they could humanly do.
Yeah. You know, once they get into
that alternate dimension, other planet, whatever the fuck that
is. Yeah, that's all CG.
That's all CG. Yes.
(12:20):
With a really kind of bad green screen.
Spoiler the other two survivors end up at the end of the last
Skywalker, a Rise of Skywalker, or that fucking huge floating
pyramid where the Emperor is re resurrected.
They're not really like the survivors, though.
Well, they both die. Well, he falls through the
portal, but she dies. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(12:41):
No, the survivors are the the trainee nurse and the the mute
kid. Yeah.
But yeah, I think it's just likeI like this movie because it
keeps you on your toes the wholetime.
Like you don't know who's going to survive, you don't know
(13:01):
what's going to happen next. It like, I guess it's like it's
one of the least predictable movies that I've seen in a
while. Debts for sure, yeah.
And yeah, 'cause like you, I, I saw this like a long time ago,
like when it was kind of fresh and maybe once after that, like
(13:22):
shortly after that. But it's it, the whole thing is
stuck with me, especially the the visuals, like the the the
cult outfits. I love it.
Like it's simple and it's effective and it's unsettling,
especially when they're all standing there and then on cue,
they all hold up the knife just like just to the side a little
bit. Fantastic.
(13:43):
That is a really creepy ass scene where they're just there
out of nowhere all of a sudden like.
It's just unsettling and it's fantastic.
And that's the thing too is like, you don't know who is in
this cult. Are these just regular town
townies are? These extra dimensional beings
like. Yeah, I like that mystery.
(14:07):
They like that. For me, that's a good amount of
mystery. Yeah, I guess you're right about
that. I made a snap deck this week.
I titled it Herbie's Simplex. Oh, Jesus.
Christ. Side note.
(14:28):
Awful. You should be ashamed.
Hello you noisy fuck. Donner's making his appearance
and taking off. All right, Yeah.
What else can we say? It's used to good effect, but
(14:53):
the lighting in this movie is just like everything is so
sickly. Seems like our first like couple
of dozen podcast episodes. Yeah, everything.
Is. Yellow streaming episodes it's.
Yellow and green look here. What do we like 10 minutes into
this movie? 18 minutes into this movie ish
and you already have the first fucked up thing.
(15:14):
Yeah. Woman pulling scissors out of a
dude's eye and cutting her own face off?
Yeah, fantastic. Fantastic.
I'm here for it. I'm in.
You know, do I want this in every movie?
No. But this doesn't call for a slow
burn. Yeah, this one is supposed to be
(15:35):
fast-paced. Everything goes to shit all at
once. Everything just ramps up in the
craziness. It's great.
I fucking love it. This is like, it is weird.
Well, it's not that weird because we mentioned it while we
were talking about it. But like, this is almost like an
alternate take of How to Kill Monsters, where it's like the
same concept, you know? And then like this is a much
(15:58):
more serious take on it than than How to Kill Monsters was.
Yeah, yeah. How to Kill Monsters was like
the Edgar Wright version of this.
Yeah, man, yeah. I, I tell people about this
movie all the time. Like anytime somebody's like, I
kind of want to watch like a weird movie and like fucking
watch The Void. Here's 1 you haven't seen.
(16:20):
Yeah. 'Cause it's, it's weird, but
it's not, it's not so far gone that you can't understand it and
that it's weird for no reason. Like they, they give you what's
going on and you, you don't haveto interpret a million things
and look for the symbolism and, you know, just like, fuck all
(16:42):
that, you know, this is not hereditary.
Yeah, it's not. It's straightforward with a with
a mystery in it. And to even specify a little
further, this is not so much Hellraiser one as it is
Hellraiser 2. Yeah, the whole hospital
setting. Like the Doctor.
(17:03):
It's weird but not uppity exactly.
All right, I guess we can jump into some ratings on this.
I'll take a set. This is it's enjoyable.
It's right to the point. There's nothing, I think
extraneous in this movie. Like, you know, all right, you
(17:25):
can cut this out. You can cut this out.
I think there were, I wish therewere scenes that were a little
bit more informative, a little better.
But overall for like a like an indie movie again, that like it
nobody's heard of. Yeah, I would go.
I feel like 8 is too high. It does.
Cosmic horror really well. It does.
It does that whole like kind of Lovecraftian thing.
(17:49):
No, I'm going to stick with thateight.
I'm going to stick with the eight.
I think they earn that mostly onthe back of the the really good
practical effects. This giant, like just amorphous
creature, you know, two of those, it's two different.
Ones. It's just chunks of people and
yeah, yeah. They're gross.
(18:10):
Yeah, I think I'm I'm right there.
I like I was, I was just going between like 7-5 and eight, but
I think 8 is 8 is where it. It feels right.
Feels right, yeah. Yeah, because there is room for
improvement, but it it's really impressive at the same time.
Yeah, you, you especially have to boil it down to what it is,
(18:33):
right? Like this is an indie movie that
does so much right? And like you, you get a lot of
indie movies where they're like,oh, we had to compensate because
we didn't have so much money or whatever.
Like the only thing that I am missing in this movie is some
additional story. Yeah, yeah.
Like I'm fine with what I have. Ending could have been a little.
(18:55):
Better ending, could have been alittle little stronger, but
fucking great. It's like I was entertained the
entire time. That's all I can ask.
All right. It's pretty solid.
Yeah. All right, so I think we should
move on to the trivia. All right, let's move on to
trivia. Still very bright.
(19:20):
Very, very. Washed out.
I even like toned it down. I like tried to make it unwashed
out. Oh, you're going to fuck with
the ISOI? Did.
Oh yeah, did. Unless it just reset itself in
the interval, which is entirely possible.
I don't. I don't care.
(19:40):
You can go to main camera if it's that like distracting.
No, I, I no. I'm going to sit here and glow.
I don't care. He's an 8 1/2 by 11.
Very white. That's actually much better I
think. Nope.
Nope. No, it's it's.
(20:01):
This light that is like at 30%. The light is the problem.
It's purple, it makes me pink. It's not how bright it is, it's
the colour and. He burnt like a lobster.
So I got burnt like a Maha vlogging.
If I put it on like, hold on, let's.
Turn off. Smart home shit is really tough.
(20:32):
Donner agrees. I will have you know Tji still
have not seen Wolfman. It's terrible.
Yeah, I bet. Oh my gosh, I'll be you.
Hey, that's better. What's that at like 2%?
Yeah, it is exactly at 2%. Yeah, that's the one.
(20:57):
That's the one for now on. Like my lighting, Like a like my
milk hole. Yeah, You know why, TJ?
Because it's easy to talk about a movie you hate.
You can bash that shit up and down all day, but talking about
(21:19):
a thing you like is is considerably harder.
It is because you want to, I don't know about you, but like I
always want to walk the line. Like if it's a movie that I
really, really like, God damn right.
I want to praise the movie, right?
But I also want to find things to talk about that I don't like
(21:44):
and to continually go like, I love this, I love this, I love
this, I love this is a little boring.
Like it. It feels like I'm kissing the
movie's ass. And I just, I would say
conversely, it gets boring to just go I hate this, I hate
this, I hate this, I hate this. Like, yeah.
Yeah, tossing movie salad. You know, like.
(22:04):
Some days it's syrup, some days it's Jelly.
Alrighty. Then 9. 1.
One this. Is emergency.
Ah, Christ. Thank you.
We are now. We try to never be boring.
(22:30):
We try to never be boring. That is the goal.
Is that a royal we? Yes, yes, let's say that.
OK, No, no, no, no. I mean, whatever.
This show is never boring else. That's right.
(22:51):
That's the one all right, on thetrivia.
The hospital used in the film was actually a former high
school, Sir James Dunn Collegiate and Vocational School
in Salt Ste. dot Marie. Sioux Saint Marie.
Oh, OK, that makes sense. Because this is Canadian.
(23:13):
Yeah. Yeah, in Ontario, Canada.
You know what? I have heard that a million
times. I've never seen it spelled.
Yeah, I, I, I used to be a geography major.
The only reason I remember that.Why the fuck would you be a
geography? What the fuck I wanted to do
when I got? To.
Geography, yeah, I, we used to analyze like satellite photos
and shit like fucking yeah, I made I made some nice maps and
(23:35):
I'll have you know. The school had been closed for a
while and was demolished not long after filming was
completed. And yeah, like, you look at that
hospital and you're like, is this in the 80s?
Yeah, it's Canada again. So like they just got the 90s
like a few weeks ago. The Void was a crowd funded
(23:56):
project which we had spoken about before.
I don't know if it was Kickstarter or or something
else, but oh, like a flock of birds.
This film was originally going to be shot in an actual
abandoned hospital, but the abandoned hospital that was
scouted to be used proved to be unsafe to shoot in.
(24:19):
Pussies, which means. Yeah, asbestos and holes in the
ground. Yeah, I.
Don't know about you, but like, I love these like weird
interstitial shots of like meat and then like.
Deep space and then deep space, yeah.
It's fucking weird and cool. Let's see here, though, and then
(24:47):
this is our our last trivia facthere.
The film makers say they intentionally leave the Black
Pyramid and much of the cult mystery to viewers to use their
own imaginations and create their own explanations and
theories. All right, fine.
And they, but they do it well. They like, they, they give you
enough to like give you an idea of what's going on.
(25:07):
And then they leave it a mystery.
I like clues. Then that's what they do.
They give you clues, Blues clues.
Blues or otherwise? Yeah, like, but we've said this,
you know, a bunch of times before.
Like, you don't have to lead me by the hand and feed me every
(25:29):
bit of information when it comesto this weird shit.
Give me a chance to do it on my own, and if I like what you've
got going on in the movie, I'll have an explanation for myself.
What are you doing over there? Are you imitating me in my hand
gestures? You are, aren't you?
No, I'm doing the. Billy Madison.
(25:53):
Over here, you're doing, you're doing the Madison.
Fucking don't. Worry about me over here.
OK. It's fine.
It's fine fine. It's fine, but that's it.
That's it for trivia. Oh boy.
But we have one star. Oh.
(26:15):
That's right, the ever fucking saving grace.
One star reviews. Yep, the time padding.
Time padding one star reviews OKhere.
This is called the avoid. It's dumb, but it works.
(26:35):
It works. It would be fine if there were
like 1000. Would like avoid this movie.
Oh God can I have my 90 minutes of life back?
Terrible period IA pile of nonsense, cliche lines, poor
acting IMD BS ratings are not trustful anymore.
(26:56):
No, they're fucking not. I could've told you that.
Some relatives or friends involved on the movie maybe, I
don't know, avoid it like the plague.
Avoid it like the annoyed it. It's 2 annoyed jokes in one day.
Come on, give me a little credit.
No, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it, and I'm
(27:21):
going to say it with my whole chest.
The Noid as a mascot was wasted on shitty pizza.
Yeah, 'cause that was way more popular than that pizza ever
will be. Yeah.
Yeah, Domino's Pizza is ass toilet.
Garbaggio, although I will say better than Little Caesars.
I won't say that I will. Cheesy bread, cheesy bread.
(27:44):
They knock it out of the park onthe cheesy bread, but.
Everything else like bottom likeof the barrel.
Better than Papa John's. I will give you that.
Yeah, yeah, better. Ingredients better.
Pizza, you going to drink that garlic sauce?
Why are there a couple random Peppers in the box?
(28:05):
I don't know all of you. Christ, yeah, here we go again.
Totally void of content. 0 substance movie.
After about half an hour you quickly get that the intro of
the movie has was nothing more than a substance.
(28:28):
Substance less side plot that doesn't go anywhere.
Does he by any chance happen to say when this review was written
or how old it is? Oh, I don't know, it probably
did on IMDb. Why?
Just curious, 'cause it's like the third time he's worked in a
substance like mentioned. And I'm, I'm wondering is this
is like some film snob who just watched the substance, The
(28:50):
substance. Oh no.
And he's now going back to shit on this.
No, no, no, This is well, this is the, this is the second
review. Oh yeah, 2 uses of the word
substance. No, these these are older than
the substance, which was great until the end.
Yeah, I'll give you that. Last 15 minutes.
(29:11):
That movie was trash. I still did enjoy it.
Yeah, sure, sure, some of the actors that play important roles
do their job well and there is some impressive contortionists
employed in this movie, but theyare so poorly used.
They have they have tried a Cthulhu angle and I'm going to
(29:32):
spell the Cthulhu the way they spell Cthulhu.
KATHOO LOOO cat Hulu cat Hulu angle to get They have tried a
Cthulhu angle to give this moviemore substance, but it turned
(29:55):
out to be a movie that you should never expect a sequel
from. I don't expect a fucking sequel.
Yeah, I know. I don't ever expect a sequel in
a movie. Yeah, this is the strobe light
thing I was talking about. Oh this is fucking annoying.
Oh, I I kind of liked it and this is what I was talking
about. When when I think this is them
(30:18):
masking some of the imperfections in the makeup.
Yeah, yeah, I get that. But like, fuck, it's God damn
distracting, Yeah. I think it was it's flashing a
little too quick. Yeah.
For what they're what they're going for the.
Strobe is too strobey. Yes, too, Strobey, I'm about to
have a seizure. Strobe.
(30:39):
You know the thing you cut your hair with with the vacuum?
Oh, come on, Donner, It wasn't that bad of a joke.
Fucking floby references floby. I like strobe.
(31:00):
Oh Jesus Christ, it's just too boring.
You can turn this movie into 1/2hour script and it might be
entertaining, but the way it is is just feels like a waste of an
hour and a half. Sorry, but I want my hour back.
Poorly conceived one out of 10. If you dumb this down to 1/2 an
(31:21):
hour you lose everything. Yeah, you lose a lot of the
creepiness and like the what thefuck again of it all, Yeah.
I just, I don't understand what people want from these kind of
movies. Like you have to have a certain
set of expectations, right? Like you look at this as an
independent, low to mid budget movie, you're going to get
(31:44):
certain things like you're not going to have the best cast in
the world, right? Like everybody in this is great.
Everybody does their job well. There's just no like, Oh my God,
that was an outstanding performance.
Like. It's just good EW.
(32:05):
Only for weddings and, you know,funerals.
Maybe you get the flow B. Jesus Christ.
Here's here's another one. Do not listen to the positive
reviews. I think I will actually, as
(32:25):
somebody who loves the thing Hellraiser.
And in the mind of Madness, you meant the Mouth of Madness, you
inept fuck. I can't believe these are the
films people compare The Void to.
Why 'cause it, it's fucking directly influenced by them.
Yeah yeah, you compare them because they're similar you dumb
(32:49):
fuck. This isn't quote the next modern
parentheses insert good film here.
It's just a really lazy rehash of better movies with none of
the soul and passion behind it. Everything about this film is
shallow, uninspired, and tired. The characters are boring and
(33:09):
interesting, the plot is vague and unoriginal, and the monster
designs are forgettable. I think you're wrong.
Most of those have got a. Lot like a lot of that.
Yes, there are practical monstereffects in this film, but the
design themselves are underwhelming and unoriginal.
Side plots are left by the wayside.
(33:31):
So don't expect any of your questions to be answered.
I will give you that yes, it does set up side plots and then
not really deliver on them. Yeah, but that's because they're
side plots. It doesn't have to like it.
We're worried about the main thing going on here.
Yeah, and this is going to be our last one star review
(33:54):
garbage. It should be plain and simple
one word review garbage. Do yourself a favor and learn
from others mistakes, disregard any references to the Thing,
quote old horror, etcetera, etcetera.
It is a simple BS. It's all much much emptier than
that. Idiotic acting, Absence of any
(34:15):
digestible plot or idea. Why this movie movie is in
quotes was. It's not like quote a movie.
It's a fucking movie. Yeah yeah was made.
It's not even C or D list. I'm a bit confused.
GH list movie lol Don't waste your time.
Nothing to find here. I guarantee you that was typed
(34:40):
out with like a live laugh love like plaque unironically on the
wall in the background. Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just fuck you anyway.
Yeah. That'll do it for the one star
(35:01):
reviews. That's it, time to move on to
the better known as. There we go.
We will start off with the directing team, because there
were actually 2 directors on this.
We'll start off with the first one, Jeremy Gillespie.
(35:26):
This is probably the biggest thing he's known for.
Hasn't directed anything since 2020 aside from this Chow Boys,
an American folk tale that showsup in a couple of people's BIOS
in this Inferno of the dead 2009Father's Day 2011.
(35:48):
And that's it for what's his name?
Jeremy. Wait, go back down.
Oh, he's got. Oh yeah, Shit, I forgot art.
Department, art department on like good shit.
Yeah, he's got the he's in the art department on Shape of
Water, The Boys Lock and Key it,Chapter 2, Scary Stories to Tell
in the Dark. That movie was actually pretty
(36:09):
good. I didn't see it.
The the first Shazam movie. Star Trek Discovery, The first
it, Fargo. The series, Suicide Squad, The
Bad One, The Poltergeist remake that everybody forgot about.
No, no. Hannibal the Series I.
(36:32):
Think this is where he needs to.Stick to the art department,
yeah? Stick to the art department.
I mean, whatever. I mean, he, he ventured out to
become a director of a of a goodmovie.
Yeah, but like, Jesus Christ, Pacific Rim, like this is where
the fucking payday is for him. Yeah.
All right, moving on, we have Steven Kostansky, who's had a
(36:56):
bit more success in the world ofhorror.
He most recently directed Frankie Frico, and we're seeing
that on a couple people's like best movies of last year list.
Really. Yeah, I haven't seen it.
He's working on something calledDeath Stalker.
I don't know if this is a remakeof that old movie I used to see
in the, like, the video store all the time.
(37:18):
Look at the coolest cover. It was like Death Stalker and
like, I don't know, it was like Barbarians or whatever.
Yeah, 'cause Death Stalker was aa fucking Frank Frazetta
character. OK.
Yeah, yeah. So he's like a hooded dude on a
horse with a giant axe? Yeah, yeah, He directed 4
episodes of a Day of the Dead TVseries.
(37:41):
I don't know where that. Aired.
That screams Sci-fi Channel. Yeah, I don't think I want it.
Well, it's got a 4.8, so I know I don't want to watch it.
Yeah, he directed a segment in VHS 94.
It was 2021. He directed Psycho Gore Man in
2020. I did not like that movie, but
people seem to fucking love it. I still haven't seen it.
(38:02):
It. Looks.
So weird. Yeah, it is very weird that I'll
give him. You know, the creature effects
are cool. It is like a very crazy, over
the top horrory horror comedy ofPower Rangers.
Kind of basically, yeah. There's a kid in it who is just
(38:23):
the most annoying actor, actress, character ever.
I ever. I cannot stand this fucking kid.
This fucking kid right here. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. I just, I just did not enjoy
this movie and people seem to fucking love it.
(38:47):
I mean it, it seems pretty original, like not a whole lot
out there like it. Yeah, I'll give it that.
And that'll, that'll always bring people to a movie, you
know what I mean? Aside from that, he directed
Leprechaun returns 2018. He also directed.
That Cowboys thing we mentioned before, he directed.
(39:10):
That what? Like what the fuck is that?
I have no idea. It's a short so can't be
anything. 2-3 stupid Cowboys arelost in the woods without any
food and the gold isn't that of the year.
This has succumbed to the cold, cannibalism or the Christmas
spirit. No.
(39:30):
This does not sound enjoyable. It's.
The Donner Party Christmas special, is that what that was?
Pretty much, yeah. ABC's of Death Two we mentioned
Father's Day was mentioned in the other directors.
Oh, Manborg. Manborg 5.5 And that's really
(39:52):
laser ghosts. Laser Ghosts 2.
Oh my God. Return to laser.
Laser with AZ in the ghosts. Laser with an S in the Cove.
Yeah, the the. Classy place, yeah.
Proper way to spell that is withan S.
Yeah. OK then.
(40:17):
Broke back cannibals. Yeah, that's the one.
Death Stalker on the list of Schindler was great.
Jesus Christ, TJ. I should probably tell you this
guy's name, Aaron Poole. He was the less than charismatic
cop. I really just saved him because
(40:40):
he's like one of the main characters.
He really isn't in anything notable.
Really. It's all very Canadian.
Oh, he was in an episode of North Odds.
Colonel Tear. I don't know if he he was
playing the God Tear, but that like God.
Tear. Yeah, yeah, I I know.
(41:02):
I can see it spelled out. He was in that movie Spiral.
That was the like offshoot reboot I saw Donner's.
Just losing? No, not that one.
Is it? No, I assumed it sounded.
(41:23):
About no, that's a shudder original, I think.
Oh yeah. No, actually, that was good.
That was a good movie. Which the other one wasn't.
Yeah, all right, buddy. Why?
Why are we doing this? A lot of people really weren't
(41:50):
in a lot of things. This guy was in an episode of
Schitt's Creek and that's I think his biggest credit.
A lot of like. Lost Girl.
Yeah, this show was pretty good.Copper.
Copper. Yeah.
It was on BBC America. It was a police show set in like
the 1870s, eighteen 80s. Yeah, in New York City, all
(42:14):
right. Yeah, Yeah.
Sounds like it could be brutal. Yeah, it was, Buddy.
You wanna go inside? Yeah, most of this looks like
trash. Yeah, really like it all it
(42:34):
again. It seems like we're looking at
like movie credits from another dimension.
It's just Canada, Yeah. Yeah.
That's like when we find somebody who's like, in like,
you know, Italian or French films, they're just like, yeah,
I have no idea what any of theseare.
He wasn't an episode of The X-Files in 1995.
That was his first role I started.
Off with a bang. Yeah, and it just.
(42:57):
So how's that Kenneth Welsh? This is a dude.
Like, I know I've seen this guy and stuff and like I have, but
nothing like super memorable. He's still in stuff again.
Like I don't, I haven't heard offucking.
Kids in the Hall. I used an episode of the Kids in
the Hall reboot in 2022. Which was so good.
(43:21):
The Charmed reboot 2021, two episodes of Star Trek Discovery.
He is in Psycho Goreman. He's in Lodge 49.
That's probably where I knew himfrom.
Buddy, that was a show on AMC. I'm gonna have to escort him.
(43:52):
He was an episode of the Human Target 2010.
I get like. This is probably, yeah, that's
where I know him from. Yeah, Survival of the Dead 2009
crap. Yeah, he was in the Grey Gardens
TV movie of the IT was ATV movieabout ATV documentary.
What, from like the 70s? Feel free to shut that door
(44:15):
behind him when he goes in usingthe Bionic Woman remake from the
2000s. Fantastic Four, Rise of the
Silver Surfer. No, thank you.
Yeah, Smallville, one of the Stargate spin offs.
Oh, the exorcism. Exorcism of Emily Rose.
That was good. That was really good, yeah.
(44:38):
Four brothers. Aviator.
Was he? Oh yeah.
In The Aviator, it's. Fucking miracle.
Amazing. Oh yeah, He was in Miracle.
That was 2004. I was like, I'm going to cut it
off soon 'cause this dude's credits go on, like, way too
long. He was in that TNT Witchblade
series in like the early 2000. Yeah.
(45:04):
Before I knew it was a comic book.
Yeah, Erie, Indiana. That's an NBC show.
Yeah, I never actually saw that when I was a kid.
Yeah, it was. It was on like at 7:00 PM for
some reason. So I was like, never home when
it was on. Yeah.
All right. We're definitely going to move
it on from here. He's in Legends of the Fall 1994
(45:27):
with Brad Pitt and Time Cop 94. Yeah, with Jean-Claude Van
Damme, Kung Fu legend continues.I watched a lot of that.
Death wish, the faces of death. No, just the face.
Face, not the faces of death. Sorry, yeah, that's a different.

Yeah, try this. She.
(51:03):
Does your home smell like cat pee?
Is that in your algorithm? What are you telling me she was

She's in Murder Bot which I hearis awesome.
I just have not watched. It's on Apple TV.
(51:23):
Ghosts. I've seen a few episodes of and
it is funny. I've heard, I've heard good
things about it, I I just haven't seen it.
Yeah, I just, yeah, I haven't really, like, sat down to watch
the whole thing. Star Trek Discovery shows up
again. Lots of Canadian ass shows.
Schitt's Creek shows up again. Well, it doesn't help that like
(51:48):
75% of everything is shot in Canada.
Yeah, 5050 with Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon Levitt.
Slap shot 3. Nope, straight to video.
No, no, no, that's not a thing that didn't happen.
She's an episode of Reaper. That's probably it for the known
(52:10):
stuff. Yeah.
Existence, 1999. The Cronenberg movie.
Yeah. Evan Stern was in this story.
He was James. He's the criminal dude who's
like, handcuffed. Yeah, he's the the pill header

or whatever. Yeah, he's in 79 episodes of
Letterkenny. Yeah.
He's rolled. Rolled I started watching that,
enjoyed it, and then just stopped watching it and.
Like oh really? Yeah, yeah, I loved it.
Yeah, it at the end like the last like season is like meh.
But then you get the spin off show of Shorty.
(52:54):
Yeah, yeah, he also shows up in American Gods Killjoys.
It was 2018. The Strain, another Canadian
film show, and RoboCop, the 2014.
Yeah, I keep, I keep meaning to give the strain another shot
because like when it first hit TV on FX.
(53:17):
Yeah. I watched like the first like 2
episodes or whatever and it just, it did nothing for me.
Yeah. But I keep hearing that like it,
it, it is good. I liked it, yeah.
It was a book first, like, right?
Yeah, I think Guillermo del Torohelped.
And he somebody write co-authored it.
Yeah. Matthew Kennedy up next.
(53:40):
I saved him because he was in the recent Lord of the Rings
anime. The War to War, The War of the
Rohiram. Didn't everyone hate that?
I heard I didn't squeeze say it was good.
I don't take his opinion for shit.
Noted. Yeah, yeah, it's anime, so I'm
(54:01):
not going to watch it. Like, yeah.
You're missing out on a lot of stuff.
I probably am, I just fuck I like I just animation just
annoys me. Same.
Don't like the art style? Yeah, he's in the last video
store documentary. That was 2023.
(54:21):
Or is it the documentary? Or is that just something else?
Nope, that's something else. That's something else I'm
thinking of. The last blockbuster.
Yep. Which I think is now close.
Gone, yeah. I don't know if they're still
doing with the travelling thing.He's in another wolf man or
another wolf cop? Yeah, another wolf.
(54:42):
Cop. That's why I saved him.
We have to. We have to do that someday.
Gross. What's the sound of one hand
fapping? And then laser ghosts too, which
shows up again. Return to Laser Cove.
(55:03):
Yeah, you're gonna kill me, TJ. Yeah, OK.
I'm just dehydrated, but I was getting that weird like, stomach
like from drinking. Yeah, yeah.
Trish Reynone Deluzio, who I have actually had on my old
(55:23):
podcast several times. I did not realize it until I was
watching this movie. Yeah, we did a bunch of podcasts
together. She used to do a web series
called My Roommate is an Escort.I think she was the creator.
I had her and like one of the actresses on like a couple of
times. Didn't even didn't even realize
it. No shit.
(55:43):
Yeah, I didn't say the reason hesaved it.
She was the mother she'd want toget shot in the beginning,
maybe, I think. No.
Is there any other mother in this movie?
(56:09):
Yeah, when you get that glimpse of what could have been, what's
his face, his family. Being shot.
Oh yes, maybe that was her. Yeah, I don't remember what she
looked like. So.
I don't think you really saw herother than like a bloody kind of
body. Yeah.
Was she anything other than her show?
(56:30):
I don't believe so. Oh, she's in an episode.
The Umbrella Academy. Belushi's toilet.
Belushi's toilet. This is fucking fucking Johnny
Carson skit. What the fuck was that
(56:54):
character? Oh, Karnak.
Karnak the great Karnak. Yeah.
Belushi's toilets. Oh.
Oh God, TJ, Yeah. Yeah, no, TJ, trust me.
You haven't seen me drink. You've seen me drink alcohol.
(57:15):
You haven't seen me drink alcohol.
Fucking anyway, this dude Jason Death Rage.
That's the fucking coolest name ever.
It kind of is, yeah. Probably pronounces it like
Dutharage. It's Dutharage.
No, your name's Death Ridge, dude, just fucking go with it.
(57:38):
You sound like AGI Joe character.
Yeah, Fuck yeah. Yeah, he was a monster puppeteer
and Beau is afraid and fuck I hated that movie, although I I
was like all this close to goingto see the new Ari Astron movie
this weekend. What the fuck is the new Ari
Astron movie? Eddington with Pedro Pascal and
(58:00):
fucking what's his name? Joaquin Phoenix.
Why am I not remembering seeing anything about that?
Because it was barely fucking advertised.
Oh yeah, Somehow Beau was afraid.
Didn't make any money. I wonder why.
Oh. Well, oh, poultrygeist.
(58:21):
Yeah, Night of the Chicken Dead and Last up Chris Nash.
Oh. He's the mute.
Yes. Oh shit.
Yeah, he is actually quite a well known horror writer and
director right now. Hell yeah.
(58:41):
Yeah, he's been in some. He was in Psycho Gore Man.
He wrote in A Violent Nature andis writing the upcoming sequel,
which again, I he also directed into Violent Nature.
Yeah, I I didn't love that movieas much as everybody else did.
It's a very split camp. Yeah, it's a very and I can
(59:02):
understand it. I liked it because it's very
different. Yeah.
Like I'm tired of seeing like the same old slasher movie.
I dig that it's something different.
They made a lot of mistakes in that movie.
Yeah, yeah. I, I I'm gonna have to give it a
second shot. Yeah, but I am totally on board
(59:25):
with you. That the fucking 10 minute
exposition fucking crunch. No that I liked.
Oh, the ending. The end that.
Fucking that car ride. Insufferable.
Yeah, it seems like it just goeson and on and on and on.
That's. 'Cause it does.
Yeah, and guess what? Nothing happened.
You can fucking leave. Literally nothing you.
(59:45):
Can get up and leave, you gain. Nothing from that.
You gain a hatred of the movie you just watched.
It's so bad. But that'll do it for the
better. Known as Eddington was not about
the bear in the raincoat, no. Say that'll do for the better
(01:00:11):
known. Under the crapshoot.
Oh, hey, we're on. Hey, yeah, I watched some movies
this week. Did you?
Did I go to the movies this week?
Probably yes. You always go to the movies.
What? The fuck came out this week?
I went Friday. God damn.
It How many times did you see Superman?
(01:00:32):
Oh. I know what I saw.
Oh, that's thought it'd be good.No it wasn't, trust me.
How to join your dragon? No, no, no, I heard that
actually was good. I like I don't know if my wife
doesn't have crappy movie radar.No.
She's not, but she was dead set on going to see I know what you
(01:00:57):
did last summer. It was it was like it.
It is easily my worst horror movie of the year it was.
All of them sucked. It was so bad.
The original sucks. Yeah, it was so bad.
Nothing redeeming about it. And credits.
(01:01:19):
Yeah, apparently there was a post credits scene.
I'm like. Oh really do?
You know what, I'm good. I don't need the post credits on
that. You know what I just saw what
had a fucking post credits sceneand I didn't watch it was
sinners. Yes, has two post credits
scenes. Oh, does it?
Yeah. There's the, you know, the big
one that everybody talks about, like the you know where.
In the bar in like the 80s or whatever you.
(01:01:40):
Didn't watch that. I didn't see it.
No 'cause like the credits rolled and I, well, the credits
rolled and I'm like, OK, cool. Like, there's nothing about that
movie that makes me think there's gonna be a fucking post
credit Stinger. Yeah, yeah.
No, it's yeah. Smoke and Mary in the 90s.
Stack. Or Stack in 90s and the Mary in
the 90s. Yeah.
And then yeah. What's his name?
(01:02:01):
Preacher Boy? Yeah, what's that movie?
Is Fight just watched on HBO again?
God damn it, I love that movie. Fury drafts the vampires and the
adventures. Yeah, but they had.
There's a second one and it's Preacher boy playing.
Is it this little light of mine?Yeah, playing this little light
of mine in the church. And then at the end of the song,
(01:02:23):
he just looks up at somebody andyou don't know who the fuck he
looks up at. So the theory is like, he sold
his soul to the devil to be ableto play good, you know, play
music well. And like, that's why that's what
brought on the vampires. Like.
Yeah. But yeah, I know what you did
last summer was fucking bad. Yeah, I bet I they're all trash.
(01:02:52):
They're all all those movies fucked and sucked.
Yeah. And I only saw two of them.
I I could not remember one single thing about the second
one. I know I saw it.
Yeah, couldn't tell you a thing about it.
I actually watched the Minecraftmovie this week.
It's not bad. It was kind of fun.
It's not bad. I like I already got my
(01:03:14):
questions queued up for that kidnext week.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Randy Quaid bailed. God damn.
Oh, did he really? Yeah.
Who'd have thought Randy Quaid could flake on something?
Yeah, I I wanted to talk about Quick Change so bad.
That movie is amazing. The only one.
Yeah, no, I guarantee you I would have got, people would
(01:03:35):
have like, well, film people would have got like something
out of it. Yeah.
But yeah, I know he's not gonna be there.
What the fuck else did I? I almost watched A woman in the
yard yesterday, but I heard thatwas really bad.
Like the trailers look interesting?
Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's gonna look curiosity.
Good, but they look interesting.Yeah, I read that comic this
(01:04:00):
week. Predator, Black, white and
blood. Yeah, pretty fucking dope.
Yeah, It's, it's, it's, it's Marvel, but it's, they only use
for color wise, black and white,red and green, cause Redditor
blood is green. So it's, you know, visually it's
really cool. It's like 3 or 4 short stories.
(01:04:22):
It seems like the first one thatthey first one in the book is
going to be like serialized. It's set like in the Old West.
And then there's, like, I think I, if I was reading it
correctly, I think it's from thePredator's point of view.
All right, again, my story's confused.
Yeah. The last story in the book is
from the Predator's point of view, which is kind of cool.
(01:04:45):
But the first one is like, there's like this travelling,
like circus. And like, their star attraction
is like, I forget what they callthem, but it's a fucking
Predator. They have like, chained up and
like, they cut one of those armsoff.
Yeah, Yeah. They cut off the arm with the
bomb and like the guy like running the the the like the
sideshow has it like on a staff like.
(01:05:05):
That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK. So yeah, I, I'm really fucking
digging that one. Kind of pick up the the other
issues when they come out. TJ asked.
How many times have the Predators come to Earth?
I don't know but like. Yeah, it seems like it's a
running thing at this point, like.
Yeah, it's, it's getting a little stale, but at at least
(01:05:31):
6-7. Yeah, right.
Yeah. Well, I know.
I think in the lore, like Earth is like a like a hunting ground.
Like a known like hunting ground.
Yeah. Yeah.
Every day when you live in America.
Yeah. Just ask Chris Hansen, why don't
you? Have a seat.
(01:05:58):
We went to Six Flags New Englandand I got sunburned everywhere.
Top of the head, front, back, feet.
That's that's classy. Yeah.
(01:06:19):
Oh man. It's good.
It's, it's, it's not like severesunburn.
It's just enough to be like, that's uncomfortable everywhere.
I when I saw the Ramones when I was fucking 16, it was an
outdoor show, Yeah. Did not put on sunblock.
And I got sunburned so bad that my skin was just, like,
(01:06:40):
sloughing off, like in the next couple of days, yeah.
Yeah, what was that like? Tulip Fest where it was like.
Park Fest. E Park.
Fest just outside, yeah. Yep.
Showed up at like 9:00 in the morning, left at like 6.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch some more Parks and rec.
(01:07:01):
That's fun. I think we we finished the
season 1 right I. Think so.
Yeah, I think we like started episode 1 of season 2.
All right, that's fun. Yeah, I, I watched, we watched a
little bit more of Mortician. That's so fucked up.
Oh, that's Taco E. The hell.
(01:07:21):
Yeah, side note, there's new late night Taco Doritos.
Pretty fucking good. Yeah, they taste just like Taco
Bell. It's weird.
That is odd. Yeah, it sounds.
Like. Diarrhea.
It does. Sure it will be.
I really miss the fucking black pepper Jack Doritos.
Yeah, that does sound really good.
They were fucking great. All right.
(01:07:45):
They were on, they sold them forlike 2 years in like I don't
know, 2000 and four 2003 two. 1004 gone.
They're yeah do not exist anymore.
They're. They're getting a little crazy
with the Doritos. There's like fucking, I saw
ketchup. I saw dill Pickles.
There's mustard. There's mustard ones.
(01:08:07):
Yeah, ketchup and mustard came out at the same time.
Yeah, like, all right, guys, fucking slow it down.
Yeah, and they did like the roulette ones where it's like a
regular bag of Doritos and then like a couple of like, shit your
pants. These are hot Doritos.
Oh God, I. Don't get it dude, like who's
(01:08:30):
buying those? Somebody's got to be buying.
The crazy flavored Oreos. Hey, hey, yeah, look, let's not
be too hard on the Oreos, all right?
The Selena Gomez ones were kind of good.
Post Malone ones were good too. I was telling her this like I
don't understand why Selena Gomez is popular enough to have
a a flavor of Oreo. Hawk Oreo, they were, they were
(01:08:51):
just chocolate and cinnamon, butit's really fucking good.
Right. But like, why?
Selena Gomez, TJ, you're a different kind of animal.
Just just going to put it out there.
Yeah. But like, yeah, Doritos did like
(01:09:14):
the fucking Buffalo wing and blue cheese and they were God
awful. Yeah, yeah.
God awful you. Ever have the Buffalo wing blue
cheese combos? Yeah, all so awful.
Yeah, all so fucking terrible. Yeah, this tastes like shampoo.
I like, I don't. I don't want things flavored
(01:09:35):
like blue cheese unless it. Is blue cheese, Yeah.
Did we watch anything else this week?
I don't remember. Yeah, I feel like I did.
If I did, it was a kids movie ofsome kind.
Oh, Strange New Worlds is back? Oh yeah, I watched the first
(01:09:59):
episode. It was pretty fucking badass.
Oh, you started. Watching Nautilus.
Yes. Oh, that's right.
Yeah. I was watching Nautilus, yeah,
it's got like the 90s adventure TV vibes all right with like, I
never watched it, but I assume it's similar to what like
Seaquest would have been. All right, I can get on board
with this. TJ has had Buffalo wing soda and
(01:10:25):
blue cheese soda. Jones soda I think makes those.
Yeah, they make like gravy soda too.
They. Make everything.
It's fucking foul. Yes 100%.
But yeah Nautilus is fucking rad.
I forget his name but he like the the guy that plays Nemo was
(01:10:49):
in Star Trek Discovery. Yes, yeah, yeah.
And Penny? Dreadful and penny dreadful,
Yeah. Cool.
Yeah, definitely check it out. It's on MC plus.
Yeah, I do. I do have that.
Yeah, I think the five maybe 6 episodes are out so.
Star Trek picks up where the cliffhanger left off.
Like where they're starting thisgiant fucking battle with the
(01:11:10):
Gorn. Yeah, it was pretty dope.
I got to, I got to go back and finish all that.
Yeah. It's just so much of it now.
Yeah, there I feel like there's like nothing.
Leave the card out of it. I The first season was good.
It was good because, like, the nostalgia was hitting just
right. Yeah, I would.
I if you haven't watched the second season, I would say skip
(01:11:33):
it and go right to three and youmight like it.
Like I I just quit halfway through three, but because I
don't have like the much of likethe next generation, like
nostalgia. It was just getting the band
back. Yeah, it's getting the band back
together for like 1 big fucking,you know.
But yeah, season 2 was just straight up garbage.
(01:11:55):
What the fuck else did I watch? I don't know.
I feel like this. Well, we yeah did.
You play anything. Fuck no other than snap high
voltage back this week. Yeah, I saw that.
(01:12:18):
I've been trying to get more into MTG Arena lately.
That's like the when I sit down to play a game, that's kind of
what I play because I'm a huge nerd.
I like Magic, but I've got a deck that I'm building that
(01:12:39):
because in that game you can like pick these cards that you
don't have and you get like wildcards that you can use to to
basically like cheat the system because you didn't open them in
your packs. But I need a lot more wild cards
to be able to finish that deck and I'm not going to buy them
(01:12:59):
because that. Sucks because fuck that shit.
I'm super hyped for the Fantastic Four this week.
Is that this week? The reviews are starting to come
out and they're saying it's fucking I'm.
Not going to pay attention to the reviews but I just I know
that stylistically that movie looks rad.
Yeah, yeah, the whole like retrofuture vibe is so cool, so I'm
(01:13:21):
hyped about that. Hey, we're going to have a date
night. Do you want to go see Fantastic
Four with me? Oh, OK.
It's got Daddy, it's got a new date.
It's got Daddy Pascal in it. He's.
Not my daddy. Oh.
(01:13:41):
The thing is pretty sexy. Yeah, look at him.
Rock hard ABS. I mean, come on, Rock.
Hard everything. Yeah.
What comic? Everything like comic wise?
I picked up the chainsaw and Bobmeet Archie comic.
(01:14:03):
I haven't read it yet though. Oh Jesus, who the fuck put that
out? Kevin Smith and Archie comics?
Yeah. Is that it?
Oh, have you? We haven't talked about this.
Have you watched the new Predator animated movie?
I haven't. It's fucking good.
Which one is it 'cause there's like 2 new predator things
(01:14:24):
coming out right? It's something of blood or
something. Something something.
It's on Hulu. Yeah.
It's on Hulu. Yeah.
Yeah. It's like 3 segments, the first
one is set like in Viking times,the second one is like set in
like you know, feudal Japan. And then the last one is set
(01:14:46):
during World War 2 and then theyall converge at the end and
that's really fucking dope. I think one of, I think, I think
some of the shit from that is going to be in the new one.
Predator Badlands 'cause they'relike there's a scene where they
go to like the Predator home world and like they meet like
(01:15:08):
the fucking Predator king and like I'm pretty sure they show
him in the fucking trailer. For Predator King, huh?
How about the Predator PresidentI.
Thought he I thought he hung himself in jail.
Those files don't exist. Yeah, there's nothing there.
(01:15:31):
Why are we still talking about that?
But it, it was so much better than I was expecting it to be.
Yeah, it's really fucking good. OK.
And then I, I, I so like it's, it's all Dan Trachtenberg, the
guy who did pray, and he's doingBadlands too.
So I'm super hyped for that now.OK, yeah.
(01:15:53):
Alien, the Alien TV show is coming out soon.
I'm hyped for that. I keep hearing good things might
be almost as good as aliens, whoknows?
It's not a not a high bar I guess.
No, it is because I mean, that'sthe the best of those movies.
Like, yeah, it's. Not I.
Mean it is though, like. The best?
(01:16:14):
It is the best. It is the best action movie in
the Alien franchise, yes. You are right, it is the best
movie in the Alien franchise. You are 100% correct.
How'd you find a sound clip of Chris's opinion?
It's so weird. Yeah, I think.
(01:16:41):
That's it. But.
We're we're squeezing every oz out of this show.
I think it's just time to let itgo.
I am like 99% certain I'm about to go see Superman again.
