Speaker 1 (00:06):
Come one and all to the following segment of enjoyment
and an Escape from reality. But beware the show you
are about to bear witness to will not hold back
when it comes to spoilers, language, and things not.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Appropriate for work or children. If you continue on, we hope.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
That you laugh at the banter, that you are thrilled
by the topic of discussion, and marvel at the host's
dedication to their craft, because you can only get that
type of treatment here at Monster Madness.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
You have been warned.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Tired a body of folks back there. We're looking for
an individual, golden brown complexion, fifteen pounds, no head, anoros.
I'll even serve them up on a sewer platfor him.
I'll get in here. Glad to see you finally out
of your man cait. You know, Amanda can be pretty
convinced in what she wants to be. Hey, babe, erk sir.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hey Amanda, well well well well you made it.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, sorry tell us one second. I baked this for you.
I couldn't need to buy myself and just being too depressive. Wow,
you bake this? Yeah, you know for a single guy.
I know my way around the oven. I got in
a uniforms and knows how to bake.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I have the feeling you're not gonna be single for long.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Come on here, I am mom right.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hi, Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of Monster Madness,
a podcast dedicated to all sorts of creatures, features and beyond.
I'm Erica enjoying with me is a man who can
baste a turkey like nobody's business. My co host, Matthew.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Fun Fact never based a turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
What the fuck, dude, suspension of disbelief.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
No, that's fine, I'm but I'll be perfectly honest. How
I spatchcock and smoke my turkeys.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Ooh, that's a solid choice.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
That's what I'm saying. So it's like, yeah, maybe I
don't paste. Uh. And if I want to get real
freaking naughty with it, I just packed butter under the skin.
Ooh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Are you a fan of deep frying turkey?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I'm not not a fan of deep prying turkeys. I've
just I think we did it once or twice when
I was a kid, but we've always just done like
roasted turkeys.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah. Nice, Well, Happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
I fucking love turkey time.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I know you do.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
It is a good time. I would say it's probably
you know, if we're tearing my favorite holidays, it goes Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving.
But they're all great. This is the best time of
the year.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, I mean We've argued plenty of times over the years.
I'm not the biggest Christmas person for a plethora of reasons. Yeah,
Halloween is my jam because it's that time of year.
And Thanksgiving I think you can just center a little
bit more around friends as opposed to a family, whereas
Christmas is like a family bukkake that I don't want

(02:49):
to be involved in.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
True though, I will say, since you have known me,
you've at least put one or two Christmas decorations out
in your house.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Alyssa has put one or two Christmas decorations out, and
one of those decorations is always a six inch tall tree.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
And that brings me lots of joy. I want to
take credit for that joy.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I am. I'm trying to. I'm teetering the line between
like informative and therapy here, but like, I have no
qualms with Christmas, I just don't recall Christmas like most
people who love Christmas recalled Christmas.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, it's like I.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Didn't have a big family growing up. Things were generally
quite fractured, extended family, not immediate family. So it's just
kind of like it's just a fucking another day. But also,
to me, you don't need a holiday to get together,
true terminator Timeline. Back in October, I went to the
Cabbage Chuck with my parents, and it was probably the
most fun I've had with my dad in a very

(03:48):
long time. I sent you a pictures.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh my god, Oh yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
My dad was doubled the fuck over laughing at some
of this shit. And it's tickler time, which I need
to do to Alyssa when we're done in here. But
it's just like, so it's like, I don't Christmas doesn't
really do it for me because I don't require a
holiday to get together because true, yeah, it's just my parents.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't know why I don't. I don't know what
it is about Christmas because I'm I'm pretty similar. Like,
you know, we're getting into little therapy. Happy holidays, everybody.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Who are you billing for this? Because it better not
be me spreaker.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
The holidays were, you know, not that maybe That's why
I'm like, I go the opposite. You don't really care
about them because you don't need a holiday as an
excuse for X y Z. I overdo them because I
do have really great memories with my dad at Christmas,

(04:45):
and especially when I got older and it was just
me and him living in our house. He made a
point we did a lot of Christmas things together because
that's his favorite. Like, my dad is a Christmas motherfucker,
Like he gets.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Down Mikey, you jolly bitch.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean my dad. I remember one time my dad,
because he'll do because he's a devout Catholic, he'll do
like late Mass on Christmas Eve a lot. And I
remember one time he came over to my house like
Christmas the next day and he's like, Erica, I gotta
tell you. He was like, it was right, I have
a fucking movie, mind you. This man had just come

(05:25):
from church not twelve hours before. He was like, I
walked down Mass and it started snowing and I just
started fucking crying. I was like, Jesus Christ, Dad, my
dad doesn't cry. But that got them well.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
But that's the thing is like I feel like a
lot of times Christmas reminds people of simpler times. I
guess it is only I put it like I remember
going to my grandparents and like our whole family is
are on Christmas and then you'd eat and then we'd
sit around and watch fucking football and then we play cards.
It was a great time. But like my mom only
talks to one of my uncles. Both my grandparents are dead,

(06:01):
so it's like Christmas now is not Christmas. Then I'm
not trying to recreate that shit because it's just it's
not possible.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Like, you're not a big nostalgia guy.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I am a big nostalgia guy. But also like, how
are you a.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Big nostalgia guy? Then give me one thing where you're like, okay,
sand okay, I take that back. Actually, now my brain
started to really like nostalgia. Nostalgia sentiment sentiment.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's not it's not centered around holidays for you.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
No, it's centered on memories. Like you gotta keep in
mind twenty twenty one, I didn't have I didn't spend parents.
I didn't Sorry, I didn't spend Christmas with my parents.
They both at COVID. My mom was in the hospital. Yeah,
so like we just celebrated Christmas like fucking in January,
so it's like it was just we just got together,
you know what I mean. So it's like we would
do the exact same thing is when family came to town

(06:50):
in July. We would fucking eat, we would hang out,
we'd play cards. It just wasn't football involve, but it
was still the same order of events, different time of years.
So it's it's sent to mint over nostalgia. Maybe I guess.
I don't know, like maybe, ah, yeah, I don't know.
Like I've had this discussion with like Dylan and stuff
like around Disney, and I said, like, I'm not trying

(07:12):
to shit on him and what he's into, but I said,
I don't understand how adults can be so into Disney.
When he told me that he gets teary eyed every
time he walks into Disney World, I'm like, I don't
get that because I don't get it. But also him
and I are going to Metallica in Atlanta and June,
and that's my Disney World because it's like I will
explain to him and be like, dude, as soon as
this song, I said, other funck, I'm getting goosebumps right

(07:33):
now talking about it. But it's like that's like my
happy place because Metallica is that to me. Yeah, so
that's I'm more of like a memory sentiment person as
opposed to a specific holiday or a specific day person.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, I guess maybe just for me, like just September
until literally December thirtieth, because I don't even I don't
even give a fuck about New Year's Eve because I
don't actually really have an any great memories about New
Year's Eve because I one never made it to the
fucking ball drop. If I did, I have like maybe
one or two memories of being like nine years old

(08:08):
and my parents letting us stay up and drink, like
taking a sip of champagne, but I just never cared.
The only thing I do now is New Year's nachos,
which I've done ever since I've had a place of
my own because that's what my dad did. But like
I think, just it's just everything about this time of
the year that like my dopamine is just like oh no,

(08:32):
for sure, it's can't bring me down.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah. So, and that's a really good point, is like
all my childhood memories I remember we'd play capture the
flag in the neighborhood, and fall there was homecoming. You
wo'd hang out with your friends, Like toilet papering was
so much fun. We would plan that shit out, and
it was like it was all up until kind of
New Year's and like my parents would always have people
over for New Year's, so that was always the thing
we did, even when I was you know, up until

(08:57):
I moved out, and then for years I would go back.
But now it's just like whatever. Like one of my
favorite New Year's Allsta didn't feel good and she went
to bed and I just played video games. So it's
like a couple of years ago, I just played video
games a glitter up until midnight. So it's like, neither
remember that. Yeah, So it's like it's not necessarily about
the day, it's about making the memory, you know what

(09:17):
I mean. So yeah, I think there are good memories
and good things that are tied with certain holidays or days.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
But yeah, I think maybe it is a little different too,
because like the two tiny humans that I have to
I'm like legally bound to take care of hate that
I know.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I think it's hilarious so.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Good this year, this past Halloween, I actually got a
Halloween tree, which I think.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
I sent you a picture of best friends were apparently,
and I guess not.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I completely forgot to be honest, because partially it was
to kind of gauge to see how the cat would
do with an artificial tree. And it's like a super
skinny black tree with like wooden Halloween ornaments on it.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
And send it to Alissa because now I'm gonna end
up with a fucking Halloween tree and I'm all about that,
fucking right. Barv's gonna lose his goddamn mind.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
There are thirty eight dollars on Amazon.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right now, yep. Send it to her and then just
say it's tickler time.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I don't want to say that to your wife.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I'll give you a dollar. You're thinking about it. Your
price is low. I would have gone up to three dollars. No,
it takes the back seats. She sent me a dog
earlier today, and I was very much like, yes, like,
I almost sent you a picture. His name is Mark.
You should have It's a fifteen pounds standard docs in

(10:39):
but it sheds horribly, and that's where I stopped. I'm like,
I don't want to deal with that, so I text
her right after we talked about Tickler Time the Cabbage Chuck.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
What the fuck is Tickler Time?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I sent you the video?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
What video? I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
It's the cabbage Chuck that there call. I think it
was called their family name is the Ticklers, but it
was Team Tickler and Ned the Dead. Who do you
know whose sveng Ghouli is?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, of course I do. My dad's obsessed with that.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Just stick with me. So Ned the Dead is this
Svengoulie of like green Bay, same fucking thing, same everything.
He was just on green Bay cable access as opposed
to Chicago. So Ned the Dead is the one who
sees this cabbage truck every year, has for the last
fifteen years. And at one point he just goes, that's
Teck Clerk time. And they were loading their cannon and shit,

(11:25):
and then he just goes, That's why I told my wife.
And then she sends me to the other room with
the dogs. I'm fucking resetting this to you.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Please do.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
If you didn't just hear him, go Teck c work time.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Wow, this is a deep opening. Wow, that's what she said.
I apologize.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Holy shit, right, I need you to leave all this
awkward silence in this don't do that.

Speaker 2 (11:59):

about nothing. He literally has a vable.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Just because I like being able to breathe.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
You know that really doesn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Right, no, one hundred percent, but I like the worm
cooling sensation and then like the thirty seconds where I
feel like he lets me breathe better.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
And I want everybody to know that Matt and Alissa
are literally having a marital in it or not having
a marital.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
She's trying to get more dogs.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh my god, they're having a marital and they're doing
it in front of me and in front of you.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Technically, yeah, legally.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Anyway, on this episode, if you haven't noticed already. It's
about to be Thanksgiving and versus doing a double episode
this week. We are just going to toss up one
and it's from twenty twenty three. It's called Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Fine, Jill thee gets back to the fucking life. Everybody

Round time.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Jesus, everybody last me over beet patient in mass General
is wrong. The store opens in ten minutes. You'll get
your waff li d next. No, you've got a fire hose.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Thanksgiving is rady r. It was filmed from March thirteenth,
twenty twenty three to April twenty third, twenty twenty three.
It was released on November fourth, twenty twenty three, at
the Morbido Film Festival in Mexico, and then in the
United States on November seventeenth. It is the horror mystery thriller.
It's slasher horror genre. I have my new template and

(14:07):
it's the AI template I showed you, and now I
have all my information. Oh boy, I know that's why
all my information is slightly agle whack. But this is
going to be the new norm because I wrote this
episode way after I wrote the rest of them. It
has a runtime of one hour in forty six minutes.
It's directed by Eli Roth. It is also written by

(14:27):
Eli Roth and his buddy Jeff Randell. It was produced
by TriStar Picture, Spyglass Media Group, Etherel Visage Productions, Cream Productions,
Dragonfly Entertainment, Electromagnetic Productions, so many Things, and it was
distributed by TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The
music is by Brandon Roberts. We talk about him later

(14:51):
when we do some minutias. Just wanted to toss his
name in there. For the cast, we have Ty Olsen,
Gina Gershaan, Lynn Griffin, Karen Cliche Nell for La Clue,
I don't know, Rick Hoffman, Derek McGrath, Katherine Trout, Jayleen
Thomas Brook, Micah Armandson, Amanda Barker, Shalen Griffin, Tim Dillon,

(15:11):
and Chris Sandiford. Oh my god, you guys, there's only
one tagline from this film, and I actually really love it.
And I don't know how you're going to feel, but
I love it. There will be no leftovers. I like it.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
I think I don't like it because of how much
you like it.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
God, you're such a fucking hater.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
It's it's it's actually pretty.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Good, right, it's delightful, Matt. What's the budget?

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Fifteen million dollars?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And what was the box office?

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Forty six point six?

Speaker 2 (15:42):
That is fucking surprising, It really is.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I feel like it was enough that they announced a
second one.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
I completely missed in the cast the literal top billing
Patrick Dempsey. Yeah. I literally saw his name PLoP down
in the other notes that I have, and I was like,
how the fuck did I miss? McDreamy. But I digress.
Let us get into the plot of Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving
in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a mob gathers outside local superstore at

(16:13):
Wright Mart in preparation for a Black Friday sale. Jessica Wright,
whose father Thomas owns the store, lets her friends Gabby, Bobby,
Evan Scuba, and Yula Yulia Julia inside early. The crowd
notices them and stampedes into the store in a frenzy.
In the ensuing chaos, Amanda Collins, wife of Wright Mart's
employee Mitch, a security guard, and a customer are killed,

(16:36):
while Bobby gets his arms shaggered in the riot and
moves away. So they're really dominant down here. Amanda Collins
not only gets stampeded on, but she gets fucking scalped hardcore.
And Bobby is a star baseball player, so him breaking
his arms or his one arm completely ruins his entire

(16:59):
career as an MLB player because apparently he was a
wonder kin yep. The following year, Whitmart begins preparations for
another Black Friday sale. When Bobby returns to Plymouth, a
waitress named Lizzie is killed by a figure wearing a
John Carver mask. Lizzie's involvement in in the Wright Mart
incident leads police to believe those involved are being targeted.

(17:20):
Lizzie was a crazy bitch in this whole stampede situation. Now,
I don't know if people recall this from the nineties,
because when I was watching this with Brookes, she asked me,
She's like, would people really do this shit? I was like,
do you not recall the Ferbie and Cabbage Patch craze
when we were kids? Those fucking parents went nuts.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
You don't have to go as far back as the
fucking nineties, Like there was a time since I moved
to the Appleton area where there was I'm pretty sure
there's a video floating around on YouTube of a lady
losing her fucking shit over a TV on Black Friday,
and I'm nards.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
My favorite Black Friday meme is of Rocky Balboa from
I Think It's Rocky two when his literal eyes are
swollen shut. They photo shopped him holding a TV and
he's just like you, Adrian, I got it like it's
It's nuts, guys. Black Friday is fake.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, no, yeah, nothing's worth a fucking right now. If
you go on I think if you go on Walmart
dot com, they have a ninety eight inch TV for
five hundred dollars. It is October tenth as of recording.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
This, Yes again, suspension of disbelief just gone.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sorry, not sorry.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
We are literally cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the middle of
recording this.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Oh sorry, yeah, let me baste the chicken and mash
my taters.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
The assailant, now fiddling fitted fittingly say the word fit it?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Where are we?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Third paragraph? The assailant is fittingly huh, my stutter couldn't
do it fittingly fittingly. Listen, I've talked about this before.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
I have. I expected it to be a much more
difficult word than fittingly, but I accept you in all
of your awful, horrible, shitty lri.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Listen Linda, Jessica and her friends in grizzly. He tags
them in grizzly social media posts. Jessica lends her camera
footage from the right Mart incident, which Rightmart deleted all
the camera footage to the town sheriff Eric Neulan. Carver
kills several more residents involved in the riot, including students

(19:46):
Lonnie and Amy and security guard Manny. Evan and Gabby
are soon abducted, while Julia is attacked in her home
with her crazy Russian father and uh big Burley security I.
Jessica and Scuba make it there, but are unable to
stop Carver from disemboweling Yulia with a saw. The police

(20:06):
attempt to lure Carver out by having the Right Family
participate in the Thanksgiving parade. Carver, in a different disguise,
decapitates a mascot, sets off bombs, causing chaos in which
he is able to abduct Jessica, her stepmother, Kathleen Thomas,
and Scuba. I hate that this guy's name is Scuba.
Just FYI, I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
I don't disagree.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Plymouth, Massachusetts, Why is your name Scuba, but anyway, his.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Parents moved there because of the scenery, the history, something
like that. I know.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Kathleen is prepared and cooked alive at Carver's hideout, which
was I love that. Just imagine that. That is fucking
a crazy way to die in a giant, fucking oven
where you are slowly cooking to death. Horrible, absolutely horrendous.
Her corpse is served up as a turkey at the
table where the hostages and victim victims corpses are seated.

(21:02):
Carver then bludgeons Evan to death in a live stream
in front of the others. Jessica and Scuba escape from
the table, and Carver chases Jessica through the woods. She
then comes upon Newlan lying on the pavement and follows
signs of movement into a building where parade floats materials
are being stored. She sees Bobby in the Carver costume,
but Newlan joins her and tells her to go outside.

(21:25):
Gunshots are heard, but Bobby is not found. The police
informed Jessica that her friends and father are safe in
Newlyn's office. Jessica noguses the same debris from the woods
that are stuck on her clothing are also stuck to
the hem of Newlan's pants, revealing that he is the killer.
Newlan reveals his motives for the murderers. After his wife
left him, he met Amanda and they had an affair,

(21:48):
resulting in her becoming pregnant with his child, and she
planned to divorce Mitch to be with him. When Amanda
was killed during the Right Mart incident, not only did
Newlan lose the love of his life, but he lost
his unborn baby. Mind you, she was died right in
front of him. Newlan began targeting those who he held
responsible for the riot, as their negligence and violence caused
Amanda's death along with the death of his child. Newlan

(22:10):
had abducted Bobby and put him in the Carver costume
to frame him. Horrified, Newlan realizes Jessica has live streamed
his confession, exposing him as the killer. He attacks her,
but Bobby intervenes, and enraged, Newlan attacks, intent on killing
Jessica for ruining his plans in his life. Jessica loads
a musket using her mother's racelet, then shoots down a

(22:32):
balloon attached to a tank of gas, causing an explosion
that engulfs Newlan. She reunites with Gabby and Scuba. While
Bobby is taken to the hospital. Authorities are unable to
find Neulan's body. Jessica has a nightmare in which she
is attacked by a flaming Newlan the end. Now, this
movie did not come up in humor horror searches. I

(22:53):
don't think it's even labeled as humor horror at all.
There's no comedy label to this. However, when you based
a woman alive, put her in the oven, and then
prop her up like a turkey, that's pretty funny. That
to me humorous.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I'm get a little hungry.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Right all this like Thanksgiving talk. I just keep thinking
about mashed potatoes and what that's what I would do,
like for a Klondike bar. Fuck that, I would do
anything for potatoes.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing and turkey and
punkin pie.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
And gobble gobble motherfuckers.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Mm. Sorry, I was just we're good.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
It's okay, it's okay. So, Matt, would you yay, nay
or slay this movie?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
It's it's it's hey, say yay. Not necessarily on the
stance of it being like a horror comedy movie, but
just an overall, like, really fucking decent movie. It has
a good twist that's nothing too insane, solid kills, acceptable storyline.
I'm like, given what shit comes out these days, yeah,
I'll hold it to a lower standard in terms of

(24:05):
equating it to that, but yeah, overall. I mean, if
anyone was like, hey, should I watch this movie, I'll
never say no. I don't know if someone was to say, like, hey,
I want to watch a horror movie, what should I watch?
That this would be that option. But one hundred percent
of someone says I'd like to watch a Thanksgiving themed
horror movie. Here is It's in the top three, next
to ThanksKilling and Thanks Killing three.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
I did attempt to get Jackie and Andrew to watch ThanksKilling.
Andrew is a maybe, Jackie is a fuck no, never.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
I'll work on that.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
I sent a picture to her of Turkey with the
fucking sheriff's face on it, and she was like, I
am now nauseous. I hate gore, I hate this shit.
This is the fucking worst thing ever. I'm never gonna
watch it. I informed them both that there's boobs within
like the first five seconds, and I forgot that among

(25:00):
the original posters for ThanksKilling, it literally says in the
left hand corner boobs in the first second.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh no, you're right, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Forgot about that line.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Nice tits bitch.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, oh so good. But either which way, it's a
yay for me as well. This is a very solid movie.
It is humorous. It it's a movie. It's a harrd
movie that does not try to be funny, but doesn't
take itself seriously, so that in turn makes it funny.
Like we've talked about before, the funniest shows and the

(25:33):
funniest things are when the actors or the storyline is
based on these people thinking it's real and they're genuinely
like they feel these feelings. Like Michael Scott was a
genuine idiot, and that made him humorous because everything he
did there was a very prominent appearance of genuine feelings

(25:57):
like he was actually he actually thought that, you know,
laying out bacon on a forman grill was a really
smart idea because he liked to wake up to the
smell of crackling bacon, so sue him. And then he
stepped on the fucking grill and then put Bubba Rapper
on his foot. Because he thought that was the best
possible thing, Like it's a fucking makeshift air cast, Like
those things are fucking hilarious. But again, digressing on that note,

(26:21):
we're gonna move to some monster minutias. Eli Roth said
that the cat in the movie was such a good
actor and performed on cue that he called him Leonardo DiCaprio,
which is hilarious. The name of the cat is Tonic
and he previously starred in Pet Cemetery twenty nineteen. Roth
wanted all of the film's kills to not only be gory,

(26:43):
but creative, paying homage to the creative kills in the
golden age of slasher films such as Friday the Thirteenth,
Nightmare on Elmstreet, Happy Birthday to Me in nineteen eighty one,
and My Bloody Valentine, also the original coming out in
nineteen eighty one. Roth was in the process of casting
this movie when his friend Gina Gershan texted him and asked,
when are you putting me in a horror movie. Roth responded, actually, Gina,

(27:04):
I have a part for you right now. She is
the one who got scalped. She played Amanda. According to
the filmmaker, the film that was advertised per the fake
trailer in Grindhouse two thousand and seven was about a
kid who's in love with a turkey and then his
father killed it, and then he killed his family and
went away to a mental institution and came back and

(27:24):
took revenge on the town. In an interview with Total
Film magazine, Roth has said that the full length film
isn't meant to fit that description anymore. We said, let's
pretend Thanksgiving was a movie from nineteen eighty that was
so offensive that every print was destroyed, all the scripts
were burned, the director disappeared, the crew members changed their names.
One person saved the trailer and uploaded it to the
darkest corners of four chan, and now it's made it out.

(27:47):
So this is a twenty twenty three reboot. Once we
said that it freed us up, I forgot about the
existence of four Chan.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I didn't, but I was always more of a Reddit
person because four chan's like the screw urge of the Earth.
I read it was just the depraved of the Earth,
and even that, like, I don't get to read it
anymore because it's just a fucking that's not a great place.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I don't think I've ever been on four chant. I
think when I realized it was a thing, when I
was like a teenager, I was too afraid because people
were like, you're going to see black market shit on there,
and the FBI is good to know, and I was like,
fuck that, now I know.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Better, right, Well, we all got to learn from something.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yep. And honestly, Big Brother is watching us at all
times anyways, and I ain't doing shit, so's uh, cancel
my student loans? Yeah right, come on universal Healthcare. This
is the third movie based on one of the five
mock trailers seen in Grindhouse. Eli Ross directed Thanksgiving trailer

(28:47):
to be shown between the Planet Terror and death Proof
when shown as a double feature Machete Hobo with a
Shotgun and the movie This movie were later made to
full length feature films as a twenty twenty three only
Don't and Werewolf. Women of the SS have not been made.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
The way you said. Mischetti made me so proud.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
You're welcome. The bloody font used for the title card
and the end credits is the same font used for
the original Grindhouse trailer. I did really love the title.
The font for the titles and the end credits Amanda Barker,
who played Lizzie, is actually from Hanover, Hanover, Massachusetts, and
she is the ninth great niece of John Carver. Her

(29:33):
accent in the movie is genuine. So Lizzie, the crazy
waitress bitch who fucking murdered people with no regard just
to get her fucking waffle iron, was actually a descendant
of a relative of John Carver, who is the murderer
in these films. The line from the original fake trailer

(29:53):
white meat, dark meat, all will be carved is seen
in an Instagram post from The Carver. The Killers is
inspired directly by the iconic paintings of John Carver, who
was one of the pilgrims on the Mayflower Voyage. The
mask they wear is the recreation of Carver's face. The
killer in the film is nicknamed the Carver because of this.
With an eighty four percent Rotten Tomago score in a

(30:16):
sixty three percent Metacritics store weighing the overall critics reviews,
the film is the most critically well received Eli Roth
horror film. Yeah, because it's the fucking most tame.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah No, And that that is a really good point
is all of the shit is trying to upstage the
last thing. He did, like, maybe we just take a
step back and make an actual, good fucking movie. We
don't need Hostile five.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
I think I stopped at Hostile two because Hostile one
made me dry heave. I don't like things with eyeballs.
And when he snipped the eyeball, Nope, nope, there's how
many are there now? Five? Four or five?

Speaker 3 (30:57):
No? Three? Okay, I wouldn't have been shocked if there
was four or five, but yeah, three. Last thing came
out in twenty eleven and was.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
I'm assuming eli Roth was a part of the third one.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
They use a part of all of them, Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I ain't know if it was one of the things
where like Saw, you have like the first what.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Sorry, so technically it's it's based on characters created.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
By Yeah, there it is, so I'm assuming he was
involved in the first two similar to Saw, and then
it kind of was just like here, fucking just make
me money.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yep. This is again only film in the series to
not have Eli Roth involved in the production.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
MM like Least Story. I remember nothing from the second
one except the distinct scene where there's a naked woman
lying with Heather Moderazzo suspended in the air and she
takes a scythe and slices her and just has the
blood dripping all over her. That was fucked up. Never

(31:58):
knew that was her name, Heatherazo.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
But I know exactly who it is. But sorry.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, she is in Scream three. She's in the Princess
Diary movies. She's in a bunch of shit as.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Like side Fostral Tube, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Devil's Advocate,
m h Saved, Sorority boys Saved.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
She's so good and saved. Pretty sure she's a lesbian
represent Eli Roth cites that if he were to only
make one other movie, this film would be it, as
his magnum opus. This is the first horror film to
be distributed by TriStar Pictures since Evil Dead twenty thirteen,
which I really liked that one.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
I need to rewatch it. But yeah, from what.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
I remember, I really really enjoyed it. Last was certainly
not least. This was one of my favorite. Uh okay,
I'll say two. So this is the fourth movie for
Pat fourth horror movie for Patrick Dempsey. After his performances
in The Stuff nineteen eighty five. He was apparently uncredited
in that movie Outbreak in nineteen ninety five and Scream three,

(33:03):
he plays Mark Kinkaid, and he is rumored to be
reprising his role as Mark Kinkaid in Scream seven as
Sydney's husband and the father of her children, which makes
me very excited. Hopefully by the time it comes out,
we have more information.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
If you're excited, feel these nipples.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I'm okay, but ask barf.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
It's actually a quote from basketball.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
But yeah, no, I know. I don't feel like you
did last but certainly not least. Lynn Griffin, who plays
the grandmother in the beginning scenes, was in the holiday
slasher film Black Christmas, which terrifies the shit out of me.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I have yet to watch the remake.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think I watched it once and didn't hate it,
but the original is far more terrifying.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I think I'm pretty sure you told me that, and
that's why we have yet to watch it, because now
she will not watch it thanks. I mean, I could
just turn it on and be like, woman, you're gonna
watch it because I put the remote more than five
feet off the ground and she can't get it. It's
a far more acceptable outcome than beating my wife with oranges.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oranges specifically, yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Because it gets the point across and they don't see
any bruises.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
And also she might be allergic.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Certain she's act. You just spray orange dizzessed on her.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
You just like fucking just have like an orange. Say
it again, woman, Say it again.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Like the episode of the Simpsons, you put a peanut
on a stick. Just be like, I would never do
that to her.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I know you wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
I'm saying that for the internet because I feel like
you're going to leave this in the episode. It's fine
if you do it. It's fin very possible, That's what
I'm saying. And I was just like, I will not
taunt my wife with a peanut shifts. Don't incriminate me.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
That is Thanksgiving, And now we are going to move
on to does it fuck? So mind? Does it fuck?
Is a very simple one. My garden produced quite a
bit of cayenne peppers, waited for them to turn red,
chopped those bad boys up, and made some aglio oil,

(35:13):
which is a really bad uh Italian pronunciation of olive
oil pasta. Basically, all you do is you saute. Here's
the thing. I'm Italian. I'm very little Italian. But some
people when they cook this, they leave the pan cool

(35:34):
and put the olive oil in, and then their garlic
and their peppers and let the heat rise with everything altogether.
I heat the pan with the olive oil, and then
I saute the garlic and brown a little bit. Then
I toss in the red cayenne peppers, put a little
bit of pasta water in, put in my spugette, and

(35:56):
you have a very simple and spicy dish. And I
fucking could eat it every day. So I made that,
uh this past week, and delectable, delectable. So that's my
fuckable item. What is yours, Matt?

Speaker 3 (36:11):
We're going to find out together.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I love this.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
I sent you a picture. It is Mountain de Zero
sugar blue from Japan. It's like fucking blue raspberry Baja blast.
This fuck's so goddamn.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Hard Ooh yeah, I'm really glad.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Don said it was like five bucks a can, but
you know, I mean it's from Japan. Yeah, No, it's
all in not American.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Japanese.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
That's what I said. It's super fucking good. Like I said,
I sent you a picture of the can, well worth it.
I'm glad.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I waited well, I'm glad you read too.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, I want to save the rest because I need
to eat it. Or when we're done with this.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, well I'm glad that's fuckable items. That's Thanksgiving. I
really hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Whether you're
whatever you're doing, I hope it involves potatoes. If you
celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I hope your day, at some
point or another there's a potato involved. They're the most

(37:15):
versatile vegetable. They're the best vegetable. You can mash them,
boil them, put them in a stew. As our wonderful
Sandwise Gamg has told us, they're just the They're the
fucking tits McGee.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Oh tatoes.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Oh my god, you got a Lord of the Rings reference.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah. Uh. On this week's episode of Kill Tony, a
guy was wearing a shirt that said potatoes and then
the three things you just said underneath it. But I
had I not just watched that, I would have gotten it. Yet.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I'll take it for what it is. But yeah, have
a great, great Thanksgiving if you celebrate. If not, I
hope you have a wonderful Thursday. Uh, don't shop on
Black Friday. It's a fucking scam. Yeah, and we are
headed into December.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
You have Mary Krimas Mary Chrysler, grimmin Mary Crisis. Uh.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
We have three episodes actually in December because it's a uh,
just a weird month. That's just five Mondays. That's how
it rolls. You get five Mondays.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Merry Christmas. Fuck you with the worst day of the week.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Monster, Monday is the best day of the week. Motherfucker you.
In next time on Monster Manags, we are going to
be watching Bodies Bodies Bodies that came out in twenty twenty,
so feel free to watch it to keep up with
what we are talking about, and we will see you

(38:46):
in two weeks. Bye.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Pete Davison has a big dick.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
I doubt it.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
It's like fumbling on the one.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, it's almost funny if you really think about it.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
You should see the look of surprise on your face.
Bobby had I'm drugged, dressed up, ready to be shot,
putting an end to the mystery of John Cobb's identity.
But when I opened the trunk, he popped me with
a tie Land. Thankfully you pointed me in the right direction. Again.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
She's been using me this whole time. When I said
I couldn't do this without your help, I really meant it.

(40:00):
What is your problem? Jasper go out.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
He's like, I want to do drugs, an hood rat
shit with my friends. Probably I miss the streets.
