Speaker 1 (00:01):
dumb cool weird podcast welcome to the dumb,
cool, weird podcast.
We're eating chips, so sorryfor the crunch yep, a little
asmr for you oh yeah, so Iwatched a movie called the bat
with vincent price and it'sanother zany vincent price movie
(00:23):
man found his way through thesource and the dictionary, this
time Yep.
So basically, in this one, youknow, vincent is a doctor,
shocker right, and he's on ahunting trip with his buddy, yep
, and his buddy gets this wildidea to go, and, you know, rob a
bank, rob a bank, his own bank.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, he robs his own bank.
And you know, rob a bank, rob abank, his own bank.
Yeah, he robs his own bank,mm-hmm.
And he tells Vincent the wholeplan and I love how it turns out
.
Oh, there's a fire outsideBecause they're talking about
having to go and get, they'regoing to kill their guide, who's
a hermit.
And then, you know, vincentPrice, using his Vincent Price
(01:03):
logic, is like yeah, thatwouldn't work if we have to show
the local undertaker the localhermit's body.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So then there's a forest fire outside.
Guy puts his guard down.
Vincent Price racks aroundinside the hunting rifle and
shoots him right in the face.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yep, that's the most screen time that actor got in
that entire movie the entiretime.
So then we cut back to um, youknow, basically back to the, the
main story, and um, basically,there's this author who is
basically as as as you can seethroughout the movie, is writing
the story as it's going alongand she's visiting at this
(01:45):
mansion.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
essentially, Well, she lives there.
Yeah, and the guy that VincentPrice killed was a landlord.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, Kind of a weird dynamic right.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And the fact that Vincent Price also is a bat
researcher.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, he loves bats, loves pendulums too.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And Edgar Allen Poe books Yep.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So basically there's been a killer on the loose
called the Bat.
Yeah, that motherfucker has noface because he's covered up,
basically a morph suit.
He's basically wearing a morphsuit.
He's basically Freddy Kruegerbefore Freddy Krueger.
Yep, he's got steel claws built.
He's basically Freddy Kruegerbefore Freddy Krueger Yep, he's
got, like, steel claws builtinto a glove, like Freddy.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Krueger Funny part is that whenever he kills people
he mostly judo chops them in thethroat first With a non-claw
hand.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, he has a gloved hand, like, not unlike OJ
Simpson Chops him in the neckand then he slashes him with the
fucking claw.
But throughout this whole movieyou know, this kind of sums up
the movie Basically the entiretime the cops don't know what's
going on.
They're a little suspicious.
These women are staying in this.
(02:58):
You know, this mansion, theauthor's servant is kind of an
idiot.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
She's kind of a simpleton yeah, I mean, that is
a good way to put it Make peoplenot want to come To this part
of the country and pretty muchthe whole course of the movie.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They're just trying to find out where the money is.
Vincent Price knows where themoney is.
Apparently, it's in the familycrypt.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Not even in the fucking house, by the way.
Yeah, it's, but the killer istrying to get into the house to
find the money because he thinksit's in the house.
Yeah, and basically this entirething is just Vincent Price
comes to the house, he leaves.
Cops come to the house, theyleave.
That's really the whole fuckingmovie after the fucking killer
(03:48):
comes through.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Honestly, you think, going through this movie, it's
Vincent Price, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You think?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
that the entire time.
And then eventually you'regoing to meet this butler who
seems like a British guy and hejust seems very odd.
He always disappears wheneverthe bat comes around, you know,
along with the police officerwho's saying I'm chasing the bat
.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yep, and you know, the funny thing is, when he gets
, when he definitely thinks he'son the case, he ends up leaving
mysteriously and then he comesback mysteriously.
All these cops are justincompetent.
You know, one guy was passedout drunk on the fucking chair.
(04:39):
He was drugged wes oh, yeah, Iwas.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I was drugged.
Yeah, like I believe that Ilove.
I was like well, she said I canhelp myself to whatever I
wanted.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's like yeah, not the alcohol you degenerate yep
and yeah, and basically, like Isaid, this entire movie is just
musical chairs, with just thisfucking criminal going through
this house trying to find a wayin, and then he tries to get
into the wall which, by the way,that that that was really loud,
(05:10):
and that's when you can tellthat obviously that guy wasn't
Vincent Price, Because why wouldVincent Price be looking in the
walls if he already knew he hadto look in the crypt.
That's when he suspected thebutler.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Exactly Because it would only make sense if the
butler was that incompetent.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yep.
And the butler was a littlesuspicious too, because he had
dirt on his shoulder.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, he was all messy and everything he was like
.
Well, I was following youthrough the woods when you were
chasing the bat and then I gothit in the back of the head.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yep Seems plausible.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then Vincent Price comes back, says he's
getting into a car accidentaccident.
Oh, and, by the way, leading upto this, the ladies found the
bat and he killed.
And then our main character,the storyteller, threw a fire
poker and hit him in the back ofthe head.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Didn't knock him over either.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
But you know, vincent Price comes back and he's like,
oh, I got a car accidentbecause he just mysteriously
showed up where no one couldhave called him to do doctor
things Like what his doctorsenses just started kicking in.
Yep, like a spidey sense.
Well, comes in, he's got a biggash on the back of his head.
He's like, well, I was in a caraccident and they're like very
suspicious.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yep, and so you think it's Vincent Price again.
But then it turns out it's notbecause he goes back to his
office and he pulls out the gun,because he sees the bat there
and he's like ah, I knew you'dbe here you tried to frame me
for my, and then didn't he alsotell the bat that it was in the
crypt?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
oh no, he didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
He didn't tell him where the no, he just said I
know where the money is, andonce you're dead, it'll be all
mine and and I'll be living anextravagant life.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, it was really weird, though, because then he
shouldn't have told them any ofthat.
He should have shot him first,told them some of that and then
shot him again.
But no bad reaction time.
The bat was so quick to pullthe lights out of the ceiling,
and then they wrestled forVincent Price's gun.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Distraction.
It was a distraction anditraction.
It was a distraction and itworked.
It was a diversion, adistracting diversion Got him,
didn't even see it coming.
And so we go back to the houseand for some fucking reason, the
house is on fire.
It was the garage.
It was the garage.
Well, it's part of the house.
So, yeah, part of the house wason fire.
(07:33):
And you know, in this wholemess well, you know, there was a
scene, though, where the authorlady gets trapped, so this will
come up later when we talkabout what's dumb about this
movie.
But basically this lady getstrapped in this vault and they
get her out and they basicallysay oh, there's a trap door down
there.
These two open up and basicallythere's a safe, and so it's
(07:55):
implied that maybe the money'sin there.
But that still doesn't make anysense, because he said it was
in the crypt.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, the literal main character that Vincent
Price kills at the beginningstole the money from his own
bank and said it was in thecrypt.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And so basically after that happens, after this
one girl gets slashed and dies,and we get to the very end of
the movie, it turns out the guywho was the actual bat was the
fucking chief of detectives.
Yeah, the chief of detectives,yeah the entire time and you
(08:30):
were led to believe the entiremovie that he was hot on the
case.
Yeah, and he got shot by thebutler.
The butler did it, man.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, after he shot one of his officers, of course.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yes, because you've got to have a little bit of that
right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, honestly that was hilarious, but the craziest
part about it was he could tellwhat he was planning.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
He was trying to light the garage on fire to draw
everybody outside so he cankill them in the woods yep, but
everybody else was smart anddecided to hide inside the house
yep, smart, right, but that'sbasically the entire movie,
because the movie ends with theauthor going like oh, and then
she looks into, the camerabreaks forth while it says, oh
(09:13):
yeah, crime doesn't pay, or somestupid shit like that no, no it
was.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
you can get away with anything, anything but murder.
So fucking stupid dude.
But yeah, that was the movie.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yep, and now brings me to the dumb, cool and weird.
The dumbest part of this entirefucking movie is the main
character.
Who's the author?
She gets locked in this fuckingroom, can't get out, supposedly
suffocating.
And then the other cop comes inthere and it starts to lock on
him.
They go oh no, he's gonna getlocked in.
He goes oh wait a minute,there's buttons behind this
(09:47):
poster here.
Yeah, a painting that's insidethe thing.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She is that in minutes.
She was suffocating.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But they were in there for minutes as well,
hanging out with more people,which would mean less oxygen.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yep, now that's really stupid and dumb Is when
that cop clearly shot him insidethat room and then somehow he
shot him in the chest, eventhough he shot him first.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
That was dumb.
No, no, that was weird.
It looked like he shot him inthe head, but he also.
He was on the ground holdinghis arm, Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
The weird portion.
The weird portion.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh, we forgot the cool.
Yeah.
Well, what was really coolabout this movie is it's always
a blast having Vincent Price onthe movie.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Vincent Price just saying anything is great.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, the man is a walking encyclopedia and
thesaurus of knowledge, justlike all of his.
You know his vernacular is sofunny.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I wonder if he even watched his own movies or any
television.
Probably not, he just readbooks.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, he, you know he always does things in movies.
It's always so cool, but it'sfunny at the same time the way
he looks at people.
He kind of like shifts his heada little bit and kind of does
this eyeball thing.
Yeah, but he was definitely thecoolest part of the whole movie
, just oh yeah, just because ofwhat he was doing.
What was weird about this movie?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Hmm, it was weird that at the beginning of the
movie the guy stole from his ownbank and then told his doctor
about it on a hunting trip, Imean.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I just think that's stupid.
Well like, well, price evensaid.
Why are you telling me this?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
right.
Like you know, I have a gun tooyep, didn't really think that
through like and not only that,he told him every little piece
of the plan.
He left nothing up for him toguess.
So he knew where the money was.
And he then told them what hisplan was was to fake his death
(12:09):
on that trip.
But he needed a body double.
The Hermit, yeah, the Hermit.
And Vincent Price is like well,I know somebody who's better at
being you, I'll just kill you,yep, and toss you in the fire
that's happening outside.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Randomly, by the way.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, it's like you're telling me that that was
a smart idea.
I'm going to tell this one guymy whole plan and hope it
doesn't backfire.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yep, that's how it happened and that was, uh, the
bat.
It was, um, you know, honestly,I thought it was going to be
like a horror movie, because thetrailer had vincent price look
around the cat like a chair andgo, come closer, come closer.
But we didn't actually see thatin the movie.
That, in, in fact, did nothappen.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But what did happen was we did come closer and watch
the movie.
We did and honestly, that soldus immediately.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's a Vincent Price movie.
It's entertaining, it's fun.
You get some time on a fuckingSaturday night, nothing going on
.

basically a morph suit.
He's basically wearing a morphsuit.
He's basically Freddy Kruegerbefore Freddy Krueger.
Yep, he's got steel claws built.

got, like, steel claws builtinto a glove, like Freddy.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Krueger Funny part is that whenever he kills people
he mostly judo chops them in thethroat first With a non-claw
hand.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, he has a gloved hand, like, not unlike OJ
Simpson Chops him in the neckand then he slashes him with the
fucking claw.
But throughout this whole movieyou know, this kind of sums up
the movie Basically the entiretime the cops don't know what's

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, he was all messy and everything he was like
.
Well, I was following youthrough the woods when you were
chasing the bat and then I gothit in the back of the head.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yep Seems plausible.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then Vincent Price comes back, says he's
getting into a car accidentaccident.
Oh, and, by the way, leading upto this, the ladies found the
bat and he killed.
And then our main character,the storyteller, threw a fire
poker and hit him in the back ofthe head.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Didn't knock him over either.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
But you know, vincent Price comes back and he's like,
oh, I got a car accidentbecause he just mysteriously
showed up where no one couldhave called him to do doctor

Yeah, it was really weird, though, because then he
shouldn't have told them any ofthat.
He should have shot him first,told them some of that and then
shot him again.
But no bad reaction time.
The bat was so quick to pullthe lights out of the ceiling,
and then they wrestled forVincent Price's gun.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Distraction.
It was a distraction anditraction.
It was a distraction and itworked.
It was a diversion, adistracting diversion Got him,
didn't even see it coming.
And so we go back to the houseand for some fucking reason, the
house is on fire.
It was the garage.
It was the garage.
Well, it's part of the house.
So, yeah, part of the house wason fire.
(07:33):
And you know, in this wholemess well, you know, there was a
scene, though, where the authorlady gets trapped, so this will
come up later when we talkabout what's dumb about this
movie.
But basically this lady getstrapped in this vault and they
get her out and they basicallysay oh, there's a trap door down
there.
These two open up and basicallythere's a safe, and so it's
(07:55):
implied that maybe the money'sin there.
But that still doesn't make anysense, because he said it was
in the crypt.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, the literal main character that Vincent
Price kills at the beginningstole the money from his own
bank and said it was in thecrypt.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And so basically after that happens, after this
one girl gets slashed and dies,and we get to the very end of
the movie, it turns out the guywho was the actual bat was the
fucking chief of detectives.
Yeah, the chief of detectives,yeah the entire time and you
(08:30):
were led to believe the entiremovie that he was hot on the
case.
Yeah, and he got shot by thebutler.
The butler did it, man.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, after he shot one of his officers, of course.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yes, because you've got to have a little bit of that

(09:13):
yeah, crime doesn't pay, or somestupid shit like that no, no it
was.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
you can get away with anything, anything but murder.
So fucking stupid dude.
But yeah, that was the movie.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yep, and now brings me to the dumb, cool and weird.
The dumbest part of this entirefucking movie is the main
character.
Who's the author?
She gets locked in this fuckingroom, can't get out, supposedly
suffocating.
And then the other cop comes inthere and it starts to lock on
him.
They go oh no, he's gonna getlocked in.
He goes oh wait a minute,there's buttons behind this
(09:47):
poster here.
Yeah, a painting that's insidethe thing.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She is that in minutes.
She was suffocating.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But they were in there for minutes as well,
hanging out with more people,which would mean less oxygen.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yep, now that's really stupid and dumb Is when
that cop clearly shot him insidethat room and then somehow he
shot him in the chest, eventhough he shot him first.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
That was dumb.
No, no, that was weird.
It looked like he shot him inthe head, but he also.
He was on the ground holdinghis arm, Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
The weird portion.
The weird portion.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh, we forgot the cool.
Yeah.
Well, what was really coolabout this movie is it's always
a blast having Vincent Price onthe movie.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Vincent Price just saying anything is great.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, the man is a walking encyclopedia and
thesaurus of knowledge, justlike all of his.
You know his vernacular is sofunny.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I wonder if he even watched his own movies or any
television.
Probably not, he just readbooks.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, he, you know he always does things in movies.
It's always so cool, but it'sfunny at the same time the way
he looks at people.
He kind of like shifts his heada little bit and kind of does
this eyeball thing.
Yeah, but he was definitely thecoolest part of the whole movie
, just oh yeah, just because ofwhat he was doing.
What was weird about this movie?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Hmm, it was weird that at the beginning of the
movie the guy stole from his ownbank and then told his doctor
about it on a hunting trip, Imean.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I just think that's stupid.
Well like, well, price evensaid.
Why are you telling me this?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
right.
Like you know, I have a gun tooyep, didn't really think that
through like and not only that,he told him every little piece
of the plan.
He left nothing up for him toguess.
So he knew where the money was.
And he then told them what hisplan was was to fake his death
(12:09):
on that trip.
But he needed a body double.
The Hermit, yeah, the Hermit.
And Vincent Price is like well,I know somebody who's better at
being you, I'll just kill you,yep, and toss you in the fire
that's happening outside.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Randomly, by the way.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, it's like you're telling me that that was
a smart idea.
I'm going to tell this one guymy whole plan and hope it
doesn't backfire.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yep, that's how it happened and that was, uh, the
bat.
It was, um, you know, honestly,I thought it was going to be
like a horror movie, because thetrailer had vincent price look
around the cat like a chair andgo, come closer, come closer.
But we didn't actually see thatin the movie.
That, in, in fact, did nothappen.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But what did happen was we did come closer and watch
the movie.
We did and honestly, that soldus immediately.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It's a Vincent Price movie.
It's entertaining, it's fun.
You get some time on a fuckingSaturday night, nothing going on
.
Give it a watch.
