Speaker 1 (00:00):
At a hearty welcome to our drive in theater. We

Drive away your worries and cares at this drive in theater.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's why to familiarize you with the movie rating symbols
which will be used by this theater, we present the
following guide for parents and young people.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
X No one under seventeen.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Admitted, Thank you, sir.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
I was kind of excited because I found on Amazon
a used copy of The Rock, the Criterion version, which
has long been out of print, and I was like,
oh man, those got to be impossible to get nowadays.
And I found one for eight dollars that was in
good condition, and I had some like credits or whatever

(01:21):
my account, so I got it for five dollars nice
and it showed up and I was like, holy shit,
this is a nice condition. So it's just the weird Like,
what is the weirdest movie in the Criterion collection. Well,
they're obviously the Michael Bay movies. Because two of these
things do not are not like the other in the

(01:43):
entire collection.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
There's a bribery system or something in place that helps
people get into the Criterion collection.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
I don't know, you think there has to be right.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
E that or like it's just good marketing by them
that things to be able to pick prestige films and
just The Rock and they think that's that's prestige. That's
something that like, you know, they.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Do also, so obviously Criterion picks up movies that they
consider influential movies and all that kind of stuff, But
they do also pick up movies that they consider to
be like uh, kind of like a touchdup.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
But you don't have like a.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Movie that significant.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, it drew a lot of attention at the time,
which like The Rock did. That was a huge blockbuster
movie whenever it came out. It's just also a dumb,
shitty neck cage.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
You can take the word shitty out of there, because
The Rock is awesome.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
Off, no listen, it's awesome.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's just also shiit.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Come on, Savin, Sean Connery, it's great. Sure I already.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Had, you know, my opinions on these things.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
I already had Armageddon, because of course I did, But
I just thought, oh, my chance to grab the Rock
Criterion collection is long gone. That's going to be impossible
to get. But well, for shits and giggles, let's see
what it's going for on Amazon. And eight dollars was
the perfect price.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I don't understand how it can be rare and be
eight dollars, right, that feels like contradictory information.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Well, and for the fact that it is a Michael
Bay movie, Armageddon is actually like it's fun good, you
know what I mean? Like that that really legit is
a good movie. It's a big blockbustering movie, but it's
a good movie.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Those movies came out before Michael Bay like went full
George Lucas right, like he was still being held back
by the technology of the day, and you know, kind
of restrained a little bit.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Uh you've seen Armageddon, right, Yeah, Restraint is not a
word I would use for that movie.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Haven't charismas.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I would suggest that had there not been technological issues
holding him back in a studio holding him back, that
movie would not be good. I think that somehow that
lightning in a bottle that resulted from that movie is
damn it is what happens when he's trying to do
something and people are trying to stop him and you

(04:22):
get armaged as a result that.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
I don't know. I don't know if I with this assessment.
I don't think anybody was trying to hold him back
for Armageddon. I think they literally just let him do
whatever he wanted and they made like six hundred million dollars,
which at the time was like one point five billion
in today's money. And that's why he's been allowed to
do what pretty much whatever he wants since then.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh but the thing is that, yes, he's been allowed
to do whatever he wants since then, and it's basically
been NonStop shit. So yeah, well, I think here's the problems.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
NonStop ship is accurate and true, but he also makes
fucking money. I mean, like, come on, Transformers sucked. Dick
made a ton of money. Listen, Turtles suck, Dick made
a ton of money.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
If you're going to try to tell me the problem
is that people are stupid and do the stupid thing
because they're people. You don't have to talk me into
that argument. Just watch the news, Like if if people
would go see good movies, there'd be more good movies.
People go see shit, and therefore there's more shit.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Are you saying that the reason why American politics is
so bad is because Michael Bay is still allowed to
make movies.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I'm saying there's a direct connection between Michael Bay movies
making money and American politics.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I weirdly agree with that.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I don't think it's it's not a coincidence. Let's put
it that way.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
So nineteen ninety eight money the budget farm again, it's
one hundred and forty million dollars, which is staggering, and
it makes five hundred and fifty three million. I would
almost guess this is a direct result of Independence Day, Yeah,
because who would give who? Yeah, the two years before

(06:19):
it was Independence Day, seventy five million, made eight hundred
and seventeen million in nineteen ninety six. Money Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
But here's what I also think, Michael Bay being Michael Bay,
probably went way over budget. I don't think anybody tried
to give him that much money.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
You think it was like seventy five million, and he's
just like wow, he amused.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
To that shit.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, like that's what I think happened.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
It's entirely possible. But then, yeah, they made all that money.
And then the soundtrack, of course sold like crazy.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
So I was gonna say, you don't have to.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think that's the funny thing. I think ninety percent
of the money that movie made was the soundtrack.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Possible.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
So so in that movie, in Armageddon, which we are
not here to talk about tonight, but somehow we are.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Somehow we are talking about it because of the Criterion collections.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
So so, Ben Affleck gets fired from his job as
an oil driller the same Willis's daughter. Yeah, the same day,
the army shows up and like recruits Bruce Willis to
like come and and go to the moon and drill
or whatever the fuck not the moon the asteroid, right, Okay,

(07:35):
So that's that happens on the same day, and he's like, okay,
I'll go, but I've got to go get Ben Affleck back.
He tracks Ben Affleck down, who has already started his
own oil company, and.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Like the Michael Scott pa.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
But it's not because there's like the sign in the
background that helps you understand that it's his company is
like beaten and worn, like it's been in operation for
a while. And that stupidity never gets brought up because
there's so much other stupidity in the movie that nobody
ever digs deep enough to remind people that that.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
He already had his own company, but was recruited because
he's so good to Bruce Willis's job, So he had
just like left no that place to run on his own.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
No, because he talks about how Bruce Willis is. I've
had this discussion before, so I'm prepared for this. But
he talks to Bruce Willis about he's the one that
taught him how to drill and made him into the
driller that he is. That's why he's so good that
it's easier to train him to go to space than
it is to train an astronaut how to use a drill.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
So I haven't seen it like twenty years, I'll tell
I'll take your word for it.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Listen, astronauts can't learn how complicated machinery works. In no
way does their job rely on you thinking complicated machinery.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Drilling's an art not of science.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
So one of the reasons I had to pick up
the arm again in one a long time ago is
because someone told me that on the commentary Billy Bob Thornton,
halfway through whatever commentary he's on just starts doing the
entire commentary and the sling blade voice.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Is that true.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
I don't know. I still haven't listened, but I'm like,
that's amazing.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
If that is true, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I will say that Armageddon did commit one of the
gravest sins of the late nineties, which is take the
music video that got famous from the movie and put
it on the VHS tape, but in order to watch it,
you have to watch the whole movie, then all of
the credits, then music video plays. Like what a stupid

(09:35):
thing to do.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
That was the nineties thing for sure.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
It was like, what a dumb, dumb idea. And I'm like,
I don't know, man, that weird trend. I know they
did it, Men in Black did it, and I'm like,
who's ever going to do all this to watch a
movie video.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
There was another purchase I made a couple of weeks ago.
I just learned this on some other podcasts. The movie
rules of Attraction with James Vanderbeek based on the what's
his name, the guy that wrote American Psycho breddyston Ellis,
it's based on his book. So apparently when they were

(10:17):
putting the DVD together, and this is back when DVD
was first starting out, so they weren't one hundred percent
sure kind of what to do with it, they were like, well,
we need special features, so let's got to throw some
stuff together. And so they decided that, you know, it
would be a great idea, is if we take a
celebrity and have them record a commentary to the movie

(10:39):
the very first time they are ever seeing it. That
does sound funny, Okay, that's fine. The celebrity they pick
for this movie, have you guys seen Rules of Attraction? Yeah,
I mean it's been a long time ago, but you know,
it's like sort of like a dark like sort of

(11:00):
it's somewhat comedic, but it's sort of just got this
dark overtone to it. Yes, So the last celebrity on
my list that I figured they would have picked to
do a commentary I'm seeing this for the first time
commentary would be fucking carrat Top What Yeah, but why
I don't.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Some sort of a visual commentary so you can use
his props.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
I hope. So, but I had heard that, and so
I was at like a like, me and the girlfriend
were hitting up a bunch of thrift stores, so I
was hitting up their DVD sections. Sure enough, I saw
Rules of Attraction. I'm like, well, this is worth a
dollar purchase, that's for damn sure. So I haven't watched
it with the commentary yet. I'm just like, what the
fuck were they doing back in the day part of me,

(11:48):
which is they just would have continued it and every
movie would just have a surprise commentary by some weird
DALSS celebrity.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
But I was gonna say, I.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Was really expecting you to say something even easier than that,
kind of like like you were gonna be like, it's
fucking Gloris leech Miant and she gets just hammered.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Trust me, that'd be great too. But it's just like,
what the fuck, Like, Hey, let's see if Carrot Top
will come in and do a commentary for Rules of Attraction.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I mean, I understand getting a comedian, just not that cadiant.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't even know if I understand the concept of
getting a comedian, like a commentary track. You're not gonna
just sit there and make jokes about them, like yeah, yeah,
I know, like riff tracks and fucking like Mystery Science
Theater three thousand exists, But you're not. Nobody would do
that to their own movie. That's them grabbing other people's
movies and doing that to it. You really, yeah, I

(12:47):
don't know, you want like a film expert to talk
about the good parts of your film and something like that.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
That sounds I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
I don't know. As long as you didn't when the
movie ended there was no music video. I'm actually okay
almost any special feature.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
I mean, I suppose if you get any any comedian
that is sufficiently nerdy enough to talk about one of
those movies, I could somebody like Patton Oswalt, Like I'm
pretty sure Patton Oswalt just about any random fucking movie.
He could probably do a commentary and it would be
pretty funny and he would actually know what the fuck

(13:23):
he was talking about.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
But not Carrot Top.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Maybe, I mean, maybe Carrot Top is like sentophile. I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
I know, the funny thing is listed on the back.
It says like, you know, it's got all the special
features five quote unquote revolving door commentary tracks by the
cast and crew, meaning I assume that they just sort
of dip in and out, like they were all filmed
individually or recorded individually. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
So they they all all recorded commentary track and somebody
edits the best one for different scenes, or what the hell?
How does that work?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
I guess so, I don't know. Anatomy of a scene
courtesy of the Sundance channel. That's back when that was,
that would have been something serious to take seriously. Sixteen
by nine widescreen. Of course it's a special feature. I
guess trailers and promos and interactive menus, because of course

(14:23):
those are big special features in the nineties.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
I do love the way that, like native native formatting
needs to be a special feature, you have to pay extra.
You have to pay extra to see the entire movie,
otherwise we're editing out half of it.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
And then at the bottom it says bonus commentary by
and then in all caps it says mystery guest exclamation point.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
The mystery guess.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
But then it has a carrot next to it.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Oh that they should not have done that, because that
just needs to feel like a actually went down.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I think that's why they did it.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
You seen that movie this guy, this Guy's gonna fuck somebody.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Just took the picture of it to the chat.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Actually, you know what, just like, what the fuck? I
think that that uh mystery guests secretly fucking someone. I
think is really relevant to that movie. If I remember
the movie correctly. That's weird. Maybe that is Maybe this
is more clever than we thought. Right, I'm glad. I'm

(15:33):
glad we're on this tangent now.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
I mean this is about the equivalent of when they
got Kevin Smith and Scott Moser to record a commentary
for Roadhouse.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
That makes total sense to me.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Scott Mosha Mosher and.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Smith doing a commentary for any movie is a good idea.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
In my head.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Oh yeah, Like it makes sense when you kind of
like think about it. But Jesus, the commentary by uh
fucking Carrot Top. This is the one that's out in
the middle of nowhere. So, like I said, as soon
as I saw that in that thrift story, I was like, well,
this needs to come home with me. I don't.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
I have no idea how you made it three hours
at home without immediately putting that in and just being like, well,
I got't know.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
Oh, I'm gonna figure it out, don't you worry.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
I would have gotten like a hotel room on the
drive home to stop and watch that. It's like, I'm
not driving all the way to my house but watching this.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Just bust into the office and be like, does do
your rooms have a DVD Player're like, what the fuck, dude,
You're not allowed to rent a room here.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
We don't rent rooms to people who watch things on DVD.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
We don't take it.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
Get the fuck out, man this. Motels are a little snooty
about their formats, you know, hotels her Uh. All right,
if we're going to get a celebrity to do a
commentary for the movies that we are reviewing tonight, which

(17:07):
one should we get?

Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's a difficult question to answer.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Weird later, Yeah, that transition doesn't work, Bran, try again.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
All right, good band, the guys you picked you picked alien.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Movies, Alien invasions, aliens invading small towns. Yeah, that's our theme.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Why don't you tell us about invaders from ours?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Invaders from ours. There's a little kid there, he's looking
out his window, sees Smelian's land, tells his parents, hey,
I think I saw some alien's land and they're like nah,
and then so his dad's like, I'll go check just
to shut the kid up. And then his dad comes
back and his dad's all like a pod person now,
and then later his mom's pod person. So he's panicking
and he goes to school and he finds out his

(17:50):
mean teacher as a pod person. But luckily the school
nurse played by Karen Black is not a pod person,
so she helps him escape a lot. Uh they're doing
some running around trying to investigate that sort of thing.
He eventually finds his way into the alien ship, where
there's these cool like, I don't know, half pig, half
horse monsters and their leader is crying from the ninja

(18:15):
turtles but without their human body, all of which is
totally bad ass. I am not I'm just glossing over
it so we can discuss it later. I'm not trying
to imply it's a bad thing in any way. Eventually,
now they're all chasing him down because they want to
make him into a pod people. But he doesn't like that,
so he goes to the military base and it's like, hey,

(18:37):
you guys know my dad, right, Like, so let me
talk to the general and they're like, sure, I guess that,
and that makes as much sense as anything in The
general is like, well, this kid seems pretty convinced, so
they start investigating the aliens. Turns into a big shootout,
everything blows up, and then the kid wakes up and
it was all a dream. But he looks out the

(18:57):
window and he sees the spaceship coming again. So was
it really a dream.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Or the time loop kind of damn loop thing going on?

Speaker 3 (19:08):
They were just trying to create that or the world's
ending where he's screaming into the camera residence and they
just were trying to find a way to make that
excuse happen.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Uh, first time watch for anybody for me? Yeah? Yeah,
I think I had seen this, but it was like
fourever ago, I didn't remember.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I really do wish I had watched this in nineteen
eighty six. I will tell you that eight year old
me would have fucking loved this movie so much.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
It's like I can see that.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Weirdly, this movie reminded me of the stuff. Sure, sort
of the kid running around be like no taking people
over and like nobody believing them.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah, I mean that is kind of an eighties trope totally,
but totally. This is similar to the stuff, So I
can see how you draw the connection. This lack of
scene where the kid trashed a grocery store over it.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
But right, so'll be hooper. We got to get that
kid in to trash some grocery store.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Listen, you're missing that hoop. You got to get more
Hoopa in here.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
I thought the special effects, like all the creatures and
stuff were a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, Stan Winston designed the invaders and they look really cool.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Yeah, they're pretty rad.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I don't know, Yeah, how would somebody do a better
job describing like, obviously Krayng as the leader, everybody can
picture that, but somebody do a better job than me
describing the like minions that he has walking around his ship?
What are those things?

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Uh? Do you know how in Super Mario Brothers the
goombas were like big dudes with like tiny goomba heads. Yeah,
now this time go to the opposite direction where it's
a giant goomba head but with like teeny tiny legs
and arms.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
That is a much better description, Thank you.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
Bry And one has a robot, it's.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Just injured in a different battle. That's all.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Uh, so, what do we think?

Speaker 6 (21:16):
So here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
This movie is a bad movie until it's not, and
then all of a sudden you're like, I don'm having
a good time now.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
So the acting is bad, I don't I don't know
if it's fully intentionally bad or if it just is
one of those things where they were hamming it up
on purpose, and maybe it's a maybe it's about I have.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
A theory about this film that I think might help
you with you trying to decide about the acting. I
think they were intentionally trying to make this film in
the style of the original, which is a fifties film
which I haven't seen. But when you look at the
way that kid runs down the hallway with the exaggerated
arm movements all the time, and you look at like

(22:06):
there's scenes where like the room shakes and everybody does
the like star trek thing where they all like pretend
the room is shaking but nothing's actually happening. You're like, ooh.
And then you look at the big kind of over
the top sort of stagey acting. I'm like, all of
it feels very nineteen fifties to me, and considering this
is a remake of a film from fifty three or

(22:27):
something like that, I feel like that was on purpose.
I feel like they were trying to do that. I
don't know that they did a good enough job that
a mainstream audience is going to watch it and understand
the joke, but I think that's what they were doing.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
All right.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
I mean, I'm I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
I think I think that makes as much sense as
anything I've got going on in my brain. Okay, And
I also agree with the fact that maybe it didn't
it didn't work. But then, I mean, really, once we
get yet to the point where special effects are happening,

(23:04):
all of a sudden, I'm like, holy shit, they spend
all their budget on these fucking aliens, like and they
just it's hard to explain.

Speaker 6 (23:14):
It looks. So it doesn't look good as in.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Oh, this is a really believable alien or whatever. It's
more like, oh, this looks looks exactly like it should be.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Funky and weird and funny, and you're like, yeah, get weird.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
It's like kind of funny, but also you can understand
how the character would be scared if they walked into
a room and that thing was there. And the fact
that we never really get a good explanations is why
the leader is a different species than the rest.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Of them, the Supreme Martian intelligence, because somebody reads a
lot of Marvel comics.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
But yeah, I don't know. I think everything that happens
inside the spaceship works anything any anytime there's a special effection,
it's working for me, even when they're like, for whatever reason,
the ground swallows some people up in.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
This movie, Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah, Like like this little like whirlpool in the sand
forms and people get sucked underneath. It looks great, like
and there's scenes where guys are like getting sucked into it,
like the Army guys are getting sucked into it, and
they're like throwing the ropes and trying to pull them out,
and it really looks like they're getting sucked in. I
don't know why. The rest of the movie is like
it's like, okay, now, act now while this is happening, act.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
You know, and action and part of it, and part
of it is just the fact that it's a body
snatcher's movie, and.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like on paper, body snatchers meets kids on bike. Great idea, right,
but it's the body Snatcher. There's nothing original in it.
I don't think that causes it to to stand out
from the plethora of other body snatchers movies that we've
all seen.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, I feel like the big problem which I use
the word problem and quotes, and this is definitely a
I'm in twenty twenty five looking back at it, like
calling it a kids on bikes movie, Like I think
if there was more than just the one kid sort
of fighting against everything, yeah, he quickly like teams up

(25:30):
with the school nurse. It's just a weird musician which
is played by Karen Black, and so they're running around
doing stuff. Whereas I feel like if it was sort
of like the Monster Squad versus aliens, like yeah, that
I feel like would play a lot better.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
I agree with you. I think it should have been
a group of children and then that group of children
can go get the army at the end for the
big climactics ending if they want.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
To get the same army guy from Monsters.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah. Well I mild tangent here, but I now think
that the ending of Monster Squad is making fun of
this movie because it came out a year later and
I'm like, oh, no, I think Monster Squad was making
fun of this. I never picked up on that before,
but but yeah, I know, like the like, they could
have still had their big ending with the shootout and

(26:17):
stuff if that's what they wanted, and you could have
had still like it's the kid being son of whoever
that gets them past the gate, right, so you still
have that moment. It's just wouldn't it be great if
there's a bunch of kids on bikes riding up to
that little thing and going to the guy in the
booth and be like, I need to speak to the general.
It'd be much better. Yeah. I can't argue that at all.

(26:41):
And that's sad because now I'm like, you know what
this movie needed was take the Karen Black character.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
Well, weirdly enough, I mean, it's got Karen Black is
the school nurse, it has Lorraine Newman from starting Out
Live for some reason, It's got James Karen as the
general in the Army from Return to Living Dead, and
then we got Louise Fletcher who was nurse Ratchet and

(27:08):
one floor of the Cucker's Nest, and I'm just like,
who did who did she owe? A favor to to
be in this movie. It's just way too good to
be in this movie.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Which one is she who's the eight teacher.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
And you've got the teacher what's his face? His name
doesn't matter. Who might have more acting credits than Morgan Freeman,
fucking god damn it. What's his name? Bottoms? His name
Tom Tom Bottoms or.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
Something like that.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Bottoms.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Yeah, yeah, Timothy Bottoms. Dude his IMDb. He's been in
a hundred million movies.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
One of course, yes, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
And apparently the last thing he was in was Along
the Way, which came out this year, so he still acted.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Dah fucking killing it.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
But the mean teacher. It's interesting because, having not seen
Cuckoo's Nest yet, which seems to come up every week,
I did notice how much better she was that everybody else.
And she's a highlight of the movie because it starts
with her just not getting along with the kid because
he's like passing notes in class or whatever. And then
when she gets taken over like that, part of her
personality stays in her pod person. She's still trying to

(28:17):
get the kid and now she's getting sick in the
other pod people on him.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
I do love the fact that, actually, I think the
first time you see her, she's already been taken over,
which is very funny. So she's just she's just a
fucking bitch from the beginning.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, it's a because it's real fun because she's just
like chasing him down and she's it's so weird, like
the dynamic where I'm like, this isn't how schools worked
ever where, Like the teacher's chasing you down the hall,
like swinging fists at you, and the school nurse like
throws you in your office and stands between the two
of you, like what what is happening? I don't even
ever remember having a school nurse, let alone one that

(28:55):
would protect me from mean teachers.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Well, but that it's because he is uncontrollable, that's all
she keeps saying.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
It is a very nineteen eighties thing where it's like,
you know what, the worst thing a child can be
is uncontrollable. It doesn't matter if you're actually doing anything wrong.
What matters is I can't control what you're doing. Eighties
parenting style.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
You are mildly unruly. Kill him?

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, And that is that is the world we're up in.
It's accurate.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
They do spend a lot of time screaming his name
in this movie.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yep, what's his name? Is it?

Speaker 4 (29:33):
Daniel, Daniel.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
David.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
It's a d name.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
It doesn't matter. I mean, they don't say it quite
as many times as the name Michael in Lost Boys,
but it's a lot.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
I love it. That's your touch point.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Listen, there's no movie where the same name is repeated
more times than Lost Boys.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
How happy was everybody when the Canon logo shut up
at the Verby game?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Oh? I mean I didn't know Canon was involved. I
didn't know it was Toby Hooper. So I'm like, what
a great combination of just craziness.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yeah, Like this is one of his two Canon movies.
This and Texas Chainsaw too.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, same year, same year. So I feel like he
had to agree to do this in order to do
Texas Chansaw. That's how I look at it. I don't
know if that's accurate or not. I did no research whatsoever, but.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
I think they actually talked him into doing part two.
He didn't, you didn't really wasn't too keen on it.
Then they were like, come on, do it, and then
he's like, well, I have a crazy idea. What if
we just do it as a straight comedy and they're like,
here's your money.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
He's like, all right, because there's definitely it feels like
it's like nineteen eighty six. Toby Hooper is known for
two things and Canon shows up and goes, do the
two things you've done before, do those again?

Speaker 4 (31:04):
I mean really, the truth was that Canon went to
Cans with a poster and they told everybody that they
had hired Toby Hooper to direct a movie, and then
they had to come back and go, fuck now we
gonna hire him.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Tom wasn't involved until the next movie. That's the that's
their MO, not Canon's m. Get your shitty film companies.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Correct, Uh, you are one incorrect. That was one of
Canon's main things. They would have a movie poster made,
they would go to film festivals, they would sell the movie,
and then use the money that they got from selling
the movie to make the movie they claimed they had
already made.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
They wouldn't lie about the names of the people who
were already associated with it without being true to my knowledge.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
I was gonna say they would lie about the movie existing.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I don't think they would lie about it existing. I
think it was like their marketing ploy like, instead of
doing a treatment for a film poster, we know what
our films are. We know that a plot description isn't
going to sell the movie, but a poster might.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah, as far as far as I understand it, they
were notorious for going and saying, we've made this movie.
It's amazing, but we need a little bit more money
for distribution.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Yep. And it's a strategy that works so well. Apparently
the Weinsteins used to do it before Disney bought Mirimax.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Really yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
They would just show up at the poster and be like, yeah,
we're almost done with this movie. Who wants the foreign
sales rates? And everybody would buy it, and then they
would use that money to make the movie.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Well, that is on them. I'm going to say, who
are the people spending their money that haphazardly? Yeah right,
that don't go oh okay, we'll show us one of
the scenes you've made.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Well you know it's the nineties. We didn't bring any
videotapes with.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Us, So yeah, I have no sympathy for people who
lost their money in that way.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
If anybody wants to find out more about Canon, you
should watch the awesome documentary Electric Bugaloo, the Story of Canon,
because it's fantastic. It's so good. They used to get
scrips in and they said they had two piles for
the Chucks, one pile for Chuck Norris and one pile

(33:21):
for Charles Bronson and the ones that you know that
those two didn't want. They would just put him in
the other pile to see if the other one would
take it.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Let mean, sure, why not?

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, you guys, remember you guys, remember when this crazy
shitty film studio fucking launched Van Dam's career.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Anyways, let's talk about what they did with the Toby Hooper.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
They're like, hey, you like fifties movies, right, you should
make one? And so he did and they gave him
money for it.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Apt So overall, are we are we positive on this
movie or negative? Because I can't tell from our conversation.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
I'm pretty positive on it. Like it's fun and the
special effects are good, which is what happens when you're like,
I'll just bring in Stan Winston.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Yeah, I mean, I think my thing was I started
in on the movie going ha ha ha. I'm having
a good time because it's such a shitty movie, and
then about halfway through the movie, I was like, I'm
having a good time. This is a pretty okay movie.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
It is one of the better versions of the body
body snatchural movies.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
I think it's one of the better.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Well, like the original one was good, the seventies one
was good, and then we did like the nineties one
which wasn't super great, and then the Cool Kidman which.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Was awful, and then Nicole Kidman one was bad.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
I feel like this one is like right in the middle,
like in fifties, seventies, this is the eighties one and
it's actually pretty good, and the nineties one which wasn't
super great, and then awful one from the two thousands.
Because I didn't remember that it was a body snatcher movie.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
No, I was.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
I was surprised.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
I just knew aliens, small town, That's what I knew
from it.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
So yeah, and then add any frantic child acting like
I said there reminded me of the stuff, and it's
pretty good combination.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Yeah. I mean, I basically agree with everything you're saying,
is that it's like it's good enough, and then the
special effects are kind of pushing over the top. So
most of the other stuff is kind of like mediocre
but special. The good special effects are enough for a
movie like this to to make it like something that

(35:48):
I'd go, yeah, like I could see myself watching this again.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Yeah, especially for a Toby Hooper movie which he does
not have a good a good hit miss Ratio with
Me like obviously comes in strong right away, but then,
like a couple couple of his other movies, I'm like,
that wasn't very good. It's not very good. And even
like Life Force, which I did not watch growing up,

(36:13):
and so when I checked it out, I was just like, Okay,
this woman's hot and she's naked the whole time, which
is good, but overall I found the movie kind of boring,
and so I was disappointed. So it's good to see,
Like in one of his other eighties movies, it's still
really enjoyed.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Apparently eighty six was the year that he really shone.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Well, he just Toby Hooper. I think the trick is
if Toby Hooper's having fun, he makes a good movie.
If he's trying to like make a movie, he sucks.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Do that makes sense, Yeah, that makes sense. I can
see that too much pressure, he doesn't like it fair enough,
everything goes to hell. Speaking of going to hell, Hey, Noah,
do you want to tell us about night Beast?

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Sure, a spaceship lands out comes the mask from raw
Head Rex wearing a silvery suit.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
I was thinking a less furry version of the monster
from A Big Trouble Little.

Speaker 6 (37:17):
China also also acceptable.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
It just kind of terrorizes a bunch of people just
being kills folks and children.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
And I don't know the end. There's no plot. There's
no plots in this movie. It just so.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
This movie has the energy of Nightmare City, like, which
I appreciate. Don't get me wrong. I like a movie
that's just like, no, fuck it, alien go.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
I paused this movie at the fourteen minute mark, which
was the end of the second shootout between the cops
and the alien, like, I'm like, that's a second shootout.
So I paused it, and I'm like, it's fourteen minutes.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
It's only an hour and eighteen minutes.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
It feels so long, though, doesn't it Like he just goes.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
But I don't think it. It just it is a constant,
like just action fest. You can't really complain about the length.
Until they stopped to have their.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Say, they knew some people with some real guns, and
they're like, everybody, bring your guns out. We're gonna film
you shooting and we'll fit it into the movie somehow.
But yeah, so there's people with their rifles just like unloaded.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
Well, and it's like it's a cast, Like this cast
is massive.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
It's it is a lot of people who are not
your traditional Hollywood actors.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Is it because maybe a lot of people quit in
the middle, so they're like, well, we've got to bring
in some new characters.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
I don't think so. I think it's because the alien killed.
Like everybody who leaves is because the alien killed them
or made them disappear with his ray gun, which I
think kills so many people, kill so many people. It's
like the plot description says that this alien lands in
a small town, but I don't believe you, because there's
too many people killed on screen for this to be

(39:11):
a small town.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
That is true.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
Uh, But yeah, like I don't know, I have very
mixed you. So this is this is.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Obviously a shit movie. But I also had a pretty
good time watching it, just because it gaint doing the
go go go, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
It was like no justification it would just be.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Like, here's a person, ah, person dead, and you'd be like, oh, okay,
here's another person. You'd be like, Okay, this must be
our main dad. Do we have a cast up dead?

Speaker 6 (39:42):
You know?

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I flipped to the Wikipedia page for this movie earlier,
and I'm like, I was just skimming the plot to
remind myself what it was about. And at one point
it just says, then the alien shows up at so
and so hou's house and kills a few people. That's
not a line from a plot description, but it's just
what keeps happening. There's like minor moments where it's like, oh,

(40:05):
these people manage to hide in the basement from the
alien for a little while, then it killed them. Like
those are those are the moments of tension in the film?

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yeah, I mean the biggest pop point in the movie
is at one point they're all standing around and they go, hmm,
didn't seem to like electricity all that much.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I mean, there is, I guess to defend the plot
line of the film. There is the moment where the
people are trapped in the basement and it's like the
doctor so he's like the smart guy and he tries
to electrocute the alien, and that's sort of how they
figure out that it doesn't like electricity. So then they
steal the ending from things from another world and get
a lot more electricity to shock it. I don't think

(40:42):
any of that matters. What matters is remember that time
when the guy's arm got chopped off, and then I'll
look out there and they just see his arm fall off,
and they're.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Like, ah, so funny.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
So, according to IMDb first screen credit of JJ Abram,
really he was sixteen and Abrams became aware of Don Dolar,
the director, from the latter's articles in a local film magazine,
Cinny Magic. After Dollar and Abrams exchange correspondence, Dollar asked
Abrams if he would be interested in scoring the film.

(41:16):
The film was shot in Maryland. Abrams, who lived in
Los Angeles, mailed the tapes.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
That's crazy, right. First of all, the hire a guy
to do a score based on letters is absolutely insane.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
Apparently this director apparently made it like a bunch of
other super low budget stuff like yeah, something called the
Alien Factor.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Sure, I'm sure there are very similar plot wise to this, probably.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
And apparently so. This movie was first released on DVD
in September two thousand and four by Troma, and was
later reissued on DVD two thousand and nine, along with
documentary about Don Dolor's life and career called Blue Blood,
Blue Blood, Boobs and Beasts, a documentary.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
That sounds like it's probably a very accurate documentary and
a good look at his life.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
Probably that's funny. Yeah, So I enjoyed this one a
lot less. To be fair, I did fall asleep during
the middle.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
I fall asleep a little bit at the end, but
I don't think that mattered. Like it was, this movie
was insane from the get go, and like I will say,
whenever the alien was killing people, I enjoyed it. Cut
away from it for a second and I'm like, where's
the alien? Bring the alien back? They have a shootout.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
The good news is there wasn't much of that.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
There was there is. There is one subplot where like
some like biker guy rolls into town and they're like,
oh no, that guy's back, and then he just goes
to his Drago, yes Drago, because probably Stallone stole that
name from this movie, I assume. So Drago goes to
like his ex girlfriend's house, he kills her and You're like, why, why, what,

(43:14):
what does this have to do with anything? You're like,
all right, so there was.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
Does he show up to kind of slap her around?
Then he like leaves, but he just goes up, Yeah,
sits on the hill on his motorcycle until the other
guy shows up.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Yeah, and then he comes back and comes back kills
her when she's not there, And I like, I feel
like that entire subplot of Drago coming to Town is
centered around the idea of, Okay, we want this woman
to wake up and she has to get changed quickly
and leave the house. So she's not gonna have time
to like step out of frame to get changed. She's
going to get changed in front of the camera. I
feel like that whole subplot is based on that logic.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
According to the trivia, apparently he was not a big
fan of like everything and Gore, but understood that the
audience liked it. So after after they had filmed everything,
they had to pad it out some more to make
it feature length, So he went back and asked her
if she would do some nude scenes.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
So that is so then my yeah, yeah, you are correct, yeah,
because then you get that and then you get about
four minute fist fight between the new boyfriend and the
old boyfriend that murdered that girl, and then that plot
line is just dropped. But that fist fight is great too.
It's great in it's four minutes long and it's.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
Stabbed in the hand with a piece of wood.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Yeah, it's just it's meaningless drivel, but it was really
fun to watch. And then there's that weird moment where
they needed two women to be naked because there was
two female characters in the movie, so that each had
to get naked once. So like the town sheriff who's like,
guess the main character of the movie just like goes

(44:49):
back to his deputy's house for a minute, and she's like,
why don't we fuck while we're here for people who
haven't seen the movie who might be listening by town
share if I mean guy with just an atrocious mustache,
not a cool mustache like we're used to talking about
on this podcast, just an atrocious one. And he has
like a salt and pepper white boy afro? Is that

(45:10):
the best way to describe his hair accurate? And then
they go she starts taking off his uniform and it
is just he is this pasty out of shape hold then,
and then you're like, I don't know why this girl
wants to have sex with him so badly, but she
very clearly, like is actively pursuing it from the second

(45:32):
that they're alone together. And you're like, all right, I
guess that's what you need to do.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Listen, maybe he's got that good you don't know.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Yeah, we don't know that's true because the moment they
get back to like he's got like a leg injury,
and she's like, I'm gonna have to take a look
at your leg injury. And he's sitting on the bed
and she kneels down and she goes to pull his
pants off, but she like separates his legs and like
leans in to grab the belt. And I'm like, oh,
that's not how you check a leg injury at all, Like.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
You're not doing it.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
It's yeah, I mean, that's how you check a groin
pull maybe what you're doing, but not a leg injury.
Remember the first like when that like uncle and his
two kids pulled up and the thing just mangled them
and then they had that like a paper shaped misshape
mangled head that they could show to the camera before
the kids ran back and hid in the car and

(46:28):
then he just disappeared the car with the kids in it,
because for some reason he has a razor like a
laser gun that disappears things.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
Yeah, this raw Head rex pretty coquel. It's weird.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
I don't know why it looks so much like Rawas.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
It really doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
I have to say, like I enjoyed watching this, I don't.
I'm not gonna argue it's a good movie by any
stretch of the imagination. But at like one hundred and
twenty minutes or something, you know, an hour twenty and
and what forty five minutes of that is the alien
killing people or them shooting at the alien. Like every

(47:09):
every time they were in a shootout with the alien,
I was happy they would just go like go get
something like do you know how to shoot? Yeah, come
join us, and they're shootout with the alien. That will
clearly not work because we've had several shootouts with the
alien already, and like the first kill is maybe I
don't know, a minute half into the movie, like none,

(47:30):
we get like.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
There is not a lot of time wasted.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
We get that, like the introduction is kind of neat too,
where we see the like the terrible looking miniature flying
through out her space and then they do kind of
the the Sam Raimi shot of like running through the
woods while it crashes, and it's like, all right, okay,
see you got them to Earth and they now he's
just gonna spend the next you know, one hundred and
nineteen minutes left of the movie here killing everyone. It's like,

(47:55):
all right, that's fair. Let's go A weird like political
story line going on in the background that no one
cares about.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
With the sheriff.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
No, there's like a like the mayor is having like
the governor over for a pool party or something.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
I forgot about that, and I think I slept through
most of it, but I did catch some of it.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Remember, it's he just like he just comes in and
he's like me and one of the cops like you
have to break up your party, and they're like nah,
and like the cop just goes oh, there's a ghastly
everybody run and then everybody runs and you're like, oh, well,
I don't know why that had happened, I guess, and
I guess I.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
Just remember thinking, like, oh man, this is this is
the mayor from Joss scene the Governor's there and it's like,
you're not going to ruin the governor's visit.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
It's so weird. And again, I love when the governor
gets really upset and he's like, that's why the town
seemed deserted. You knew about this gas leak and had
the party anyway, Like, he totally gets upset and I'm like,
you guys, go back to the alien, what is happening
right cares It was just I think it was just
because they wanted girls in bikinis in their movie, so
they just had a scene at a pool like that's it,

(49:07):
which is fair. I mean, for a movie like this,
it's a very reasonable goal to set and you got
to get there somehow. Again, I think I enjoyed this movie.
It's not good. It don't mistake anything I'm saying for
it being good. But chop that guy's arm off. He

(49:27):
killed some people. When that biker came to town and
killed his ex girlfriend, they loaded her in the back
of a car drove her around for a while. For
some reason. I'm not sure that was the best way
to handle her death, but whatever.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm curious enough to go
back and rewatch it. Since I did sleep too a
part of it.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
I mean, you just fast forward through some stuff, like
it's not like you're gonna get to something and be like, wait,
what I miss? Who's that character? He's just a different guy,
guy slightly or or wait, wearing a flannel shirt getting
killed by me an alien. That's eighty percent of the
cast right there. I love it. I love that none

(50:09):
of the people look like Hollywood actors whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
I don't know. It was like, hey, go ask Joe
Bob if he wants to be in this movie.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
It's like like a bunch of guys were out hunting
anyway and they just ran up and we're like, guys,
I got a few minutes. You always want to do
a scene for an alien movie and then you go
back to your hunting trip.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
We just need you to shoot like you're shooting at
something off screen, and then you'll be good.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
Well, one in three of you, we need a death shot.
The rest of you, guys, we can have it like
happen in a way where the guy just shoots you
and you disappear. I loved the effect of stuff disappearing too.
It's very nineteen eighty two.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
It's like.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
It's not again, it's not good, but if you're a
fan of low budget filmmaking from nineteen eighty two, you'll
really appreciate it on that level.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
Shit, somebody said not fireworks outside. Yeah, I don't know.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and I got nothing out
of it.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
I just again, cheesy looking monster killing people, lots of blood,
you know, minimal plotline.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
I love.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Like again, I can't get my head around how fat
the average cast member and this one was. I loved
that for some reason, just added a sense of realism
to this movie that had no sense of realism to
it whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
What did you think? No, I don't know if we've
got like a full full description of if.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
You enjoyed it or I mean, yeah, like I actually
think weirdly, I enjoyed the other one more, which is
probably a little odd for my taste, But this one
was fun. I feel like, I don't know, it was
missing something. There wasn't enough like interesting stuff going on

(52:03):
besides alien running around doing stuff. I would have been
into it more if there had been some like shitty
acting and you know, other things to like get excited about,
if that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
All right, we've seen this last episode?

Speaker 4 (52:49):
Uh well, uh flashback did dstal Dawn weekend, so I
got to go to that. It was delightful. It was
John Carpenter movies in which I'm old, so I did
not make it through all the Jumperster movies, but I

(53:12):
did get to sit through the Thing, Prince of Darkness
and Halloween.

Speaker 5 (53:19):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Seeing Halloween on the fucking drive in was fucking amazing.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Of all those movies, that's the one I'd want to
see at the drive in the most.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
Oh my god, it was so good. And the version
of the thing I got to see was actually an
original theatrical run thirty five millimeter print, and so that
was pretty fantastic.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Nice. Was it all like scratches and stuff? Oh?

Speaker 4 (53:45):
Yeah, yeah, a little little scratchy, a couple splices you
actually saw in there, and there was one part where
they I can't remember what, you know, the old film
projectors have that fucking color light filter thing that gets flipped,
and they actually flipped it at one point in the
movie and turned everything like weirdly red for a bit,

(54:08):
which it sounds like I'm saying that negatively, but it
was awesome, like so good.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
It's just one of those when you've seen a movie
that many times you don't need to see like the
most pristine viewing of it. So seeing like an actual
theater run print where it's almost like the story of
that print is what you're watching, it's pretty fantastic.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Yeah. I mean, if you wanted to watch the thing
in the best quality, you know, you get a four
K and watch it at home kind of thing. It's
better quality than they can really do. But the experience
of seeing it in with some errors in it and
feeling like it's a nineteen eighties version of the film

(54:53):
is something special. I'd enjoy that too.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Yeah, it was, like I said, it was, it was something.
And the person I had with me is my my
friend Dana's girlfriend Kim, who's a big movie buff, and
Kim had never seen Prince of Darkness or The Thing before, what,
which is crazy because the Halloween's like her favorite fucking movie.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Yeah, And I was like, you are in for a treat.
I was a full lot. I was like, because I
was trying to explain the Thing, and I was like,
I'm not going to tell you anything about the Thing
if you don't know much about it. And I was like,
but I will tell you it is arguably the best
monster movie ever made, like arguably, Like it's up there.

Speaker 6 (55:43):
It's like it Godzilla and a few other ones.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I have
a counter argument to that, you know what I mean, Like,
if you said it's the best, I'd be like, yeah,
but what about I don't know how to finish that sentence.

Speaker 5 (55:56):
Like.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying, and I'm not I
would never deign to argue that it one is inarguably
the best.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
But no. But but there's nothing that you can say
that's like obviously, you know what I mean? Like somebody
said their favorite shark movie was the best shark movie
and it wasn't Jaws, you'd go, yeah, but come on, right,
you know what I mean? Like it, there's nothing like
that with the.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Thing right right, right right?

Speaker 6 (56:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (56:23):
What do you what do you fucking compare it to?
Like I remember the defibrillator scene started, and I was
like doing my best not to look over and be like, ah,
not to get crazy. Well just well just because I
fucking I love the first time somebody sees that movie
and that scene happens, because they all do the same thing.

(56:45):
There's all that, always that.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
But the fuck, oh that's delightful.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
Fucking dude's stomach fucking bites a guy's arms off.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
What does she think of a prince of darkness?

Speaker 4 (57:02):
I really enjoyed it. I was trying to that one
was one where they were like, what's the plot of it?
And I was like, ah, it's very difficult to explain.
I was like, basically, the science devil is in a building.

Speaker 6 (57:20):
We're dealing We're dealing.

Speaker 5 (57:22):
Devil in a canister of ooze from the Teenager and
Naga Turtles movies.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
It's a little harder to explain that one.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Yeah, you really it fuck it really is like at
the end of the movie. They were like, I'm still
not sure I know what happened. I was like, nobody does.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Yeah, we did a show on it. People can go
back and listen to us. Not quite understand it.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
Uh, yeah, I should have went. I just I don't know,
trying to save money and all kinds of other shit,
and I ended up just sitting at home board, so
I should have went.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
Yeah, I thought you were doing some driving.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
I think I didn't do that, But then I spent
all day Sunday doing it, which was, I don't know,
just as annoying.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
And I had plenty of room too. I got an
Airbnb and that airbnb could easily sleep eight people.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
So I'm gonna remember it for next time.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
What else did you watch them?

Speaker 4 (58:24):
I think that was it. When was the last time
we were recorded?

Speaker 5 (58:29):
Last week? Last Wednesday?

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Yeah, so then I think that's it.

Speaker 5 (58:35):
Would you watch them?

Speaker 3 (58:37):
I have absolutely nothing.

Speaker 5 (58:39):
I have not watched it at all.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
Yeah, I haven't watched a movie since last week. I
have watched a few episodes of Buffy. I was doing
that rewatch. I don't know other than the fact that
I came across the Body Snatchers episode of that the
same we got watching the Body Snatchers movie. That's a
fun coincidence. But other than that, yeah, I don't think
we need to get into it a thing about that.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
So none of us have watched the first six episodes
of iron Heart.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
I did not know it it dropped.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Yeah, I've thought about it, but I haven't gotten to
it yet.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
We dropped three episodes one week and three episodes this week.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Yeah. I think that's all of it, right.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
I think so? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Yeah, So I mean it is that true what you
just said. Yes, So I've been waiting for Mephisto for
so long and they finally put Mephisto in and it
was in the goddamn Ironheart series that I give no
fucks about.

Speaker 5 (59:39):
Do you know who's playing them?

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Sasha Bara Cohen.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Yeah. I even forgot un till I saw someone posted
a picture on Facebook. I'm like, oh, that's right, you
was supposed to be in this series.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
Well, you know what the weird thing is, I don't
recall that from this series. I recall that from a
very long time ago, where they there was all sorts
of rumors about it. They were like, yeah, Slash Bariko
has been hired to play be fisto and then fucking
eight years went by.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Yeah, that happens with the MCU.

Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
I've been having a little trouble getting excited for this
because I feel like they dropped the ball for the
Iron Art character in Wakanda Forever.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
So I just if they would have kept the Diesel
punk like shit Iron Man suit, I actually think I
would have been more excited. The second they put her
in that fucking anime Iron Man suit, I was like, yeah,
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I don't know eventually, but.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
My best and I'm doing my best not to think
about Wakanda Forever because I loved the first fucking Black
Panther movies so much.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Oh the first one is so good and the second one.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Is just it's it's so and that actor died in
what a horrible ship way to I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
Yeah, I feel like they were trying to figure out.
They sort of had their hands side behind their back,
like how do we what do we do? I don't
think anybody came up with a good uh.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
I mean they really at the end of the day,
they should have fucking recast it. I know it sucks,
but they should have recast it, and they should have
just done everything they could do to, like, you know,
I don't I don't know, do a feature rette after
the movie or whatever with everybody talking about how much
they fucking loved Bozeman.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, because I don't know. I'm in
this weird stage where I'm just not watching ship that
I have been interested in before. They had another series
of Walking Dead stuff. They came out the Maggie season
two of the Maggie Megan series, and I watched the

(01:01:48):
first one and I enjoyed it enough, and just this
one came out and I'm like, oh, the whole thing's
out and I didn't even haven't even watched it, and
I'm not probably not going to.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
So interesting is they did an other fucking spin off
of The Logging Dead.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
Oh, there's like twenty of them there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Yeah, it's amazing that somehow that show got me from
season one where I don't believe there was another human
being that would have been as excited as me for
a fucking zombie TV series that was actually showing fucking
zombies to where we're at now, where I'm just like

(01:02:26):
I don't give a fuck. Yeah, it's fascinating I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
Yeah, and I got a bunch of other shit that
I should be watching that I haven't, so I do.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
Okay, some of us sudden injury watching seven seasons of
a show we've seen ten times. So what am I
gonna say?

Speaker 5 (01:02:47):
Are you going to do the five seasons of Angel
two or just Buffy?

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
None of this is planned.

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
Just started one day and you're like, well, I gotta
continue now.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Yeah, that's what happened.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
Yeah. Well, the only thing I watched this week is
I watched the Wachowski movie Bound, because it has entered
the Criterion collection, which is a fun full circle moment
since we were talking about that at the beginning of
the show and half off sale's going on in Barnes
and Nobles. So I went over to check that out,

(01:03:21):
picked up way too much shit. I got Bound, I
got the Fast Time's original High release because it's got
a ship ton of interviews and stuff on it. And
I also picked up the Richard Pryor movie Jojo Dancer.
I saw that a couple of years ago when they
had a Richard Pryor film festival in town and enjoyed it,

(01:03:44):
and they filmed part of it in Peoria, so I
was excited to sort of check that one out. Very
few special features on that one, which is a bummer,
but you know, it's still like a four K version
of the movie, which is the highest quality has been
so far as like just on DVD. So I'm excited

(01:04:05):
to pick that up and put it in put it
on the shelf. But I watched Bound, which I think
I have seen when it was on cable back in
the day, but that would have been right after it
came out, So the only part I was really interested
in watching was the lesbian sex scene. Yeah, And now
that I'm you know, heading towards fifty, I'm like, I
can maybe try to watch this as an actual movie,

(01:04:28):
and I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed it.
It's a nice neo noir story with Jennifer Tilly, Gina
Gershan and Joey Pants and Christopher Maloney for some reason,
which I didn't remember him being in this or even
know until I picked up the case, and there's like
interviews with him, and I'm like, he's this movie. He

(01:04:49):
plays like a mobster son who's kind of a dickhead
the entire movie. Yeah, No, I enjoyed it. Joey Pants
is responsible for a bunch of mob money, and Gina
Gershan just moved into the apartment building because she's like
remodeling one of the empty apartments for the owner. But

(01:05:10):
he and Jennifer Tilley ended up having a love affair
and they come up with this plan to steal like
two point five million dollars from Joy Pants, and as always,
nothing goes the way it should. It's all sorts of complications. Yeah,
I really enjoyed it, and I watched all the special features,

(01:05:31):
and it's just interesting because apparently this movie was like
their test movie because they had been walking around Hollywood
with the script to the Matrix, but since they were
first time directors, nobody wanted to give them money for it, right,
And so they essentially made this movie Foreigner Brothers. Like
they wrote and directed this movie Foreigner Brothers, just as yeah,

(01:05:55):
give us like six million dollars, we'll make this little
neo noir movie and then if you like that we
did that, then let us direct this this weird sci
fi philosophical movie. And obviously it worked out. So it
has made me interested in checking out some more Near
and R stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
So yeah, see, I didn't know any of that about
that movie, and now I'm curious to watch Bound again
because I'm like, yeah, I saw it once when it
was new, Do not remember anything?

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's exactly how I was. But
I've been hearing like lots of people doing interviews and
stuff about it. I don't know if it's like one
of the anniversaries recently or something, but yeah, sure, for
some reason, I've just been hearing lots about it onlike
podcasts and stuff, and I'm just like, I really should
rewatch that because obviously I was like in my teens

(01:06:49):
when I watched it, so I was only interested in
like one aspect of it. Yeah, but you know, now
I very much wanted to go back and look at
it as like an act movie and sort of look
at it that way. And like I said, I'm glad
I did, because he's really good. Everybody's really good in it,
Everybody plays a part really well. Joey Pants is fantastic,

(01:07:12):
just because he's so exasperated the entire movie, and it's
just watching Gina Gershaan and Jennifer Tilley play off him
like that just makes a lot of the scenes like
a lot of fun and uh yeah, just some of
the you can see some of their early like camera
shots and editing and stuff that the Wachowski's like put

(01:07:34):
into it, and you're like, okay, yep, stuff like that.
They would they would definitely do a lot more with
that within the next couple of years.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
So where they already thoroughly stealing other people's stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:07:47):
Yes, yeah, bound with the watch. So I'm gonna have
to go through and see if i can figure out
some other and our stuff, because it's definitely put me
in the mood to, like, you visit a bunch of
stuff like that. And over the past year, that's I've
been into a lot of like I've watched that Red Rock,
Red Rock, West Nicholas Cage and stuff and stuff like

(01:08:12):
that in Blue Velvet to a certain extent, so I've
just been kind of, like, I think, searching out more
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Here's a brief glimpse of some of the truly fine
pictures we've scheduled in the near future.

Speaker 5 (01:08:25):
You know, we're watching next episode.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
So I've got a lot of ship to do this weekend,
which means I needed to pick movies that Share doesn't
mind me watching in the stressed myself out too much.
So we're gonna be doing stripes and in the army
now boom, really, Polly sure, Baby.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
Doug is not happy with these selections. I don't know, Uh, sorry,
which one thing you put? Kevin Bacon likes Rivers movies
on here? I'm assuming that's it's a dog selection.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
It's a listener's suggestion.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
Oh, I mean, they're not wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
He does like Rivers.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
He's a big fan of Rivers. It's weird comes all
the time, how much Bacon lives.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
I forget what movies they are even. Just somebody sent
me that I just copied and pasted it on the list,
like whenever. We don't get that many listener suggestions.

Speaker 5 (01:09:34):
We have a whole month dedicated to it. I know,
well it's supposed to be a month that turns into
three months.

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
But yeah, there's no point us pretending we're organized enough.

Speaker 5 (01:09:47):
So yeah, we're going. We're going into the army next week.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
That's fun. Let's all discuss the US Army next week.
That'll be fun. We all want to go.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
Yeah, but it's the eighties US Army.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
We're to talk about Polly Short, Bill Murray, nothing else.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
I don't know that I've ever seen Stripes, or if
I have, it's been a long long time.

Speaker 5 (01:10:09):
So yeah, I'm not sure if I've seen the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Whole thing that might be interesting to me.

Speaker 5 (01:10:15):
Dougs are getting going to be getting into all these
early Bill Murray movies he didn't know did he needed
to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
It's not it's not like I never liked Bill Murray.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
It's just that I just never got around to it,
I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Yeah, comedy isn't one of those things I generally seek
out older ones.

Speaker 6 (01:10:29):
So it's it's one of those things.

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
So I have a small, like emotional attachment to it
only because my uh my uncle that passed away several
years ago. Stripes is like his fucking favorite movie.

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
Oh nice, I remember, like my dad, maybe it was
my mom rented it, like my mom and my stepdad.
That might have been it. I don't know. We rented
a lot of movies when I was younger. I don't
know who rented what, but apparently they just didn't give
a shit what I was if they if they were
watching it, they didn't give a shit if I was
watching it. So correct, it's a lot of stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
Yeah, I know, it was if your parents wanted to
watch something that kind of automatically made it okay for
everyone to watch.

Speaker 5 (01:11:13):
Yeah, And that's how I saw RoboCop first time. And
I was just like Jesus Christ. He his hands, it
blew up on screen. It's insane.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
I don't even think hands really blow up like that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:30):
Did he just shoot that guy in the dick?

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Yeah? That told it was totally worth rewinding and pausing for.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
Look, did you see his balls through his pants?

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
Dickhead? He shot him off that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
Still over that level in the robo Cop game for
Game Boy, which is all separate discussion, the fact that
that existed, there was a scene where it was like
there was a guy holding a hostage. He had to
try to shoot around the hostage and you could win
by shooting him in the dick, Like he shot through
the girl's legs and that kind of background through the dick.
And once I found that out, I never shot him

(01:12:07):
anywhere else.

Speaker 5 (01:12:09):
No, just in the dick.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
If I get like a little like seven pixel screen
that's just green and gray, theoretically there's a dick there.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
Yeah. My friend West text to me and asked me,
He's like, I know you just played the new REBOCP game.
It's like it was it good? And I'm like, of
course it was good. It was great. I think he
said it was on sale for like five bucks or
something for PC, so he was going to pick it up.
I'm worth every penny it is.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
It is amazing how poorly that game performed.

Speaker 5 (01:12:42):
Right, I don't understand it. If you are a fan
of RoboCop, it feels like you are in a robo cop.

Speaker 6 (01:12:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
I mean it's not like, it's not like the best
RPG I've ever played my entire life, but it's fun.

Speaker 5 (01:12:57):
Yeah, I don't get it. It's gotten me to the
point because there's also a Terminator game that just came
out in the past couple of years. It was interested
enough since I'm like, well, maybe the other robot game
will be all right, But I looked in the reviews.
The user reviews are fucking terrible, so I didn't pull
a trigger on that one. Speaking of viral Schortzner movies, Uh,

(01:13:21):
they sent out the Running Man trailer. Yeah, so you
said you weren't going to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
It, right, It's my intention is to not watch it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:28):
Yeah, no need to.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
And it's the Running Man it's great. Are we done?

Speaker 5 (01:13:37):
I watch it right now?

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
Can I just recommend it at the end of be like, yeah, no,
I really enjoyed it. Like, can I just say that
now and just loop that back into it an episode
after I've seen it?

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
Like yeah, Like I said, I was mainly just curious.
I'm like, well, I know they're going back to the book,
and so I'm curious what the tone of the trailer
looks like. And I'm like, oh, yeah, yea, looks like, uh,
they're leaning a little bit more back towards that. I mean,
it's got a little bit of the Igger right sort
of humor and style toy as a trailer, but it's
definitely not the Arnold movie.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
So yeah, well, no, I have no interest. I said
this to you guys in a chat, but I have
no interest in a remake of that Shortzenagger film that
is Lightning in a Bottle And there's absolutely no way
you should even bother trying to remake that. But the
original book is something completely different, and there's no reason
why you can't make another movie based on that book. Yeah,

(01:14:31):
it's I don't understand. When I went back and read
the book years later, I'm like how did they even
get to that movie from this book? Really picking up
threads to suggest that that is an adaptation of this story.

Speaker 5 (01:14:47):
So it's trying to think, and again, we don't need
a remake of the Arnold movie. But it's like, if
they did do a remake, who would play like the
Richard Dawson role or like game show hosts? Is that
even like a that would be familiar enough?

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
I don't know, like because in my head I almost
said like Pat Sajak or something, but I'm like, no,
Like I don't know if the show is still on
the air or.

Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Not, but like the show is, he's young.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
People wouldn't know who that is right now?

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
Like the big thing I I was like.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Would it be Drew carry That makes sense?

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
Host of the Prices right now? Yeah? Like is that?
But is that even as much of a cultural touch
point as.

Speaker 4 (01:15:32):
In the day.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Oh, it just occurred to me now that when kids
are homesick from school now they probably just sit on
the couch with like a tablet or whatever and they
don't watch Family Feud, Price is right, Like it's oh man,
that's sad.

Speaker 5 (01:15:47):
They're missing out.

Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
I hadn't thought about that until just now. The idea
of like shitty canned soup and a sprite in front
of the prices, right, and.

Speaker 5 (01:15:57):
You're like, I was going to say seven up.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Yeah, yeah, the same idea.

Speaker 6 (01:16:01):
The price is wrong, Bob.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
You just you're just sitting there glad you're sick because
that's your day.

Speaker 5 (01:16:08):
And you're like, oh, I get to watch the Prices, right.
I hope they do the one with the mountain climber
and yodels as he goes up, and it wouldn't be
on there, And I'm like, ah, sick today for nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Isn't it like a weird thing that everybody knows everything
about The Price is Right? When it was on at
eleven am on weekdays?

Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
What do we all even know about it?

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
It's the same thing, like like talk show hosts are
like these really famous people in our society whose show
comes on at eleven thirty at night? Yeah, why are they?

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
At least now there's like YouTube, sure, yeah, so that
at least covers that point. But like fucking Johnny Carson,
like everybody watched.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
Him, so we're to believe that in like the sixties
and seventies, it was just commonplace for normal people to
step till one am watching.

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
I think some people would, I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
And don't get me wrong, there's lots of nights where
I stay up that late. But I thought I was
unusual and I can't, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
And the thing is, I think it's funny that, like
people our age know who Johnny Carson is though.

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
Because when we were kids, we would stay up late
to watch.

Speaker 5 (01:17:18):
Well, we weren't even old enough during the weekdays, like
you know, unless it was summertime. Yeah, it's like, oh,
I gotta go to school tomorrow, I gotta go to bed,
But yeah, we all knew wo Johnny Carson was.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
It's weird. It is that weird. Like it's like you
see that question pop up once in a while, like
how how were there like rumors about celebrities that everybody
heard before the internet. We all heard certain rumors, but
like national you'd hear about them on like the elementary
school yard at Recess and you're like, how did it

(01:17:50):
spread to other schools then?

Speaker 4 (01:17:53):
Because one kid was cool enough to get magazines?

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Is that true?

Speaker 5 (01:18:00):
I don't even know.

Speaker 4 (01:18:01):
I mean, yeah, there used to be like the celebrity
rag magazines.

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
Because I had like a particularly unusual situation where I
went to school in a different neighborhood than I lived,
So like you'd come home and realize like the other
kids had all heard the same rumors. But Richard gear
as you and you're like, how.

Speaker 4 (01:18:26):
I feel like that that rumor is so ubiquitous that
Lando knows about it. So then and Lanto doesn't even
know who Richard Gere.

Speaker 5 (01:18:34):
Is like, hey, Lando, do you know who Richard?

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:18:37):
Yeah, stuck doing what he's doing alone.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
Let me go back to my YouTube.

Speaker 5 (01:18:44):
Right, You're like, where did you learn that?

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
Why are you always talking about Gerbil? Guy?

Speaker 5 (01:18:54):
Just elbow smashes dunk in the face.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
That's the more likely response.

Speaker 5 (01:19:04):
Kids are funny.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Yeah, that's why we watched that movie about the kid
earlier and said it was funny. See, I know how
to keep us on topic.

Speaker 5 (01:19:12):
You're supposed to be on topic. It's the end of
the show.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
Oh damn it, I scared it on. Then I should
have drifted us further from topic.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Please remember to replace the speaker on the post when
you leave the theater.

Speaker 5 (01:19:34):
And now, folks, it's time to say good night.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):

bringing you an enjoyable evening of entertainment.

Speaker 5 (01:19:43):
