Poltergeist Commentary

As is our usual tradition, we present you with this year's Halloween Commentary. This year we're watching the terrifying ghost movie POLTERGEIST. We gripe about the remake and bring up Jim Belushi a lot.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:14):
This is somebody on a podcast doing a diatribe about
Jim Belushi for no reason.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
To Jim Belushi, mm hmmm, why would anyone be talking
about Jim belus.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
That's a good question in general. I don't know, Uh,
I can't remember how Jim Belushi came up. But then
he was like, yeah, I was at the the Mechanic
the other day because I had to have a bunch
of work down in my car, and they said it
was going to take a while, and I just asked
him where the TV that's playing random episodes of according

(00:47):
to Jim is set up so I could just sit wait,
And I'm like, that does seem like the random show
that would be on a TV at the Mechanic shop for.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Some I was gonna say, that is weirdly acting like.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, all of a sudden, I understand completely.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
My favorite, my favorite Indian restaurant here, every time I
go in, one of the TV's is playing the Mister
Bean cartoon. It's the most random, and it's every single time.
I'm like, do you guys just like have this on repeat?
You guys are just watching the Mister Bean cartoon all day?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Is Mister Bean like a like a god in India
and we just don't know it.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I don't know if it like maybe they have a
kid and that's like the kid's favorite show or something,
so they just leave it on in case.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
No kid's favorite show is ever the animated Mister Bean cartoon.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I was gonna say notoriously that cartoon is not liked
by pretty much anybody, Like fans of Mister Bean don't
like it, and people who aren't fans of Mister Bean
have no reason to like it.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Also, modern children just bring their own devices and watch
their own shows that make no sense to us old people.
It's very difficult to get gets to watch the shows
that we like when we were little.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
So yeah, those fucking youth.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Also, how much of a fucking easy check cash is
that for Rowan Atkinson. He's like, yeah, I'll make a
we can make a cartoon about my character that doesn't
really talk other than going er er.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I hope he gets a voice credit for it. I've
ever checked the credit of the Mister Bean cartoon.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
No, actually, I don't. I don't think he had anything
to do with the cartoon.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
He's got to get some sort of.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
He must have like he must be involved in like
the creation of the show.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Right, That's it's a really good question. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
The problem is because it's a British TV show. I
have no idea how the rules work.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, I can't. I would assume he like, you have
to you can't just make a cartoon about a character
without paying the producers of the previous show. And I
would assume that he would have some sort of producer credit.
Because the show is called Mister Bean, he's the only
recurring character. I would think the main actor probably gets
like pretty high up there. On the list of executive producers, he.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Is listed as Rowin Atkins and Mister Bean in one
hundred and forty six episodes Mister Bean cartoon Jesus Christ.
Who knew those one hundred and forty six episodes?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I don't think I've ever seen one, to be honest.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I didn't even know there was one until Noah just
brought it up.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
I mean it was in the so it was in that.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Weird era where a whole lot of kids cartoons were
made out of movies, way outside of the time period
that the movie came out, unlike the eighties where they
were just like, let's make a RoboCop cartoon, you know
what I mean. Instead, they were like, let's make a
Bill and Ted cartoon. And You're like, it's it's in

(03:57):
two thousand and four. Why are you think a Bill
and Ted cartoon? Kids don't know who the fuck Bill
and Ted are.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
There was one they made, uh Saturday Morning cartoons out
of Dumb and Dummer, the Mask and East Ventura Detective
and once there is a crossover between all three properties.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
And I was like, that is just fucking wild.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Jim Carrey Animated Universe, which Jim Carrey did not voice
any of those characters on the cartoons.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Of course, what why are we talking about any of this?

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Because it's Halloween, right.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Because it's Halloween. And if there's one character you associate
with Halloween, it's mister Bean and Jim Belushi.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Now let's talk about the fact that they made Ed
Grimley cartoon.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
It's pretty fantastic. I must say, I remember watching it
because then Count Floyd would do like weird scary stories
in the middle of the episode.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
TV was weird, man.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Sure was. That's why it taught you you should always
be afraid of the TV.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Boom.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Look at that transition.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
The TV people may come out to fail it try
to grab you.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
I mean, arguably that one was so good that you
fucked up her whole thing.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's not supposed to be good like that.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Can I have to retire the segway is going for.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
No, you're just gonna have to get much much better
at them.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh well that's not gonna happen. So as pretty usual
around Halloween, we do like to do a fun commentary.
This one seems I don't know, less fun. It seems
pretty scary. Actually, why'd you pick this one?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Doug?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
So we picked this one? I don't know why I'm
taking this. This movie is fucking awesome fun. I don't
know what the hell you're talking about, sir. In the eighties,
it was fun to like throw children into a pool
with live skeletons and sexually harassed sixteen year old girls
who were just trying to get ready for school. That
was all considered fun back then, and this movie has both.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I like that you said live skeletons. Wouldn't that just
be a regular person.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I meant real skeleton.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
You are correct, they are real skeletons. Yeah, yeah, all right,
So we have poltric Ice all cued up on Amazon Prime.
We are exactly one second into the program already, and
the first thing we're gonna see is that MGM logo

(06:53):
with the lion roar. So if you want to sync
up whatever copy, you got to make sure you relatively
close to where we are so you can watch along.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
That way, when we go off on tangents, you'll know
what we were supposed to be talking.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
About exactly, all right, So we're going to get started
in three two one.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Hey, you're right. Everyone talks with the line. No one
mentions the luchador mask underneath them.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's not a luchador mask.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
It's like one of It's like those drama and comedy
masks like theater.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
It sounds like you just don't want to admit the
Mexican influence over the film industry.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Stop interrupting our national anthem.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Excuse me, if there's one national anthem on the planet
that deserves to be interrupted these days, this one.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
I was just thinking I would why it's been so
long since I watched Paltergeist, and then I just remembered
that the movie like opens with the national anthem, which
is enough That's why.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
I I don't feel like.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
You're like, fuck patriotism, fuck this movie.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Do you guys remember this though? Like if you just
stayed up too late at night, the TV would just
stop showing shows, play your national anthem, and then go
off the air, and you'd be like, what the hell?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I have worked in television long enough that I remember
signing off TV stations, which doesn't happen anymore. Yeah, I'd
have to shut it off. I have shut the transmitter down.
It would be off for about six hours, and then
the morning guy would come in turn it back on.
Kids would be like TV, you sat in one room

(08:45):
and watch something.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's like with your family.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, back when there was a monoculture and you just
watched whatever it was on yeap.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Why.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think it's this movie, which is why I think
everybody loves Golden Girls so much, because everybody watched.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
It because you had no choice.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
I also think that's why people our age get so
excited when something like Tiger King or stranger things happens,
because it's like water cooler talk, which doesn't really exist
anymore unless something unless there's a global fucking pandemic and
people are all stuck inside watching the same psychotic documentary.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
This is the best dog ever. He's like, I'm gonna
steal these potato chips, but then he leaves all the chips.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
He I guess there was some left in the bag
that looks like spark dog.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Good dog O.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
I think it's an average dog at best.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
How dare you?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
It's like snack?

Speaker 6 (09:50):
All right?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Is it weird that look for food?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Is it weird that as an adult I'm jealous of
that kid's Star Wars sheets.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, it's rational and logical in every way.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I'm like heading towards fifty. And you know, since I
live by myself, part of me is just like I
should just buy Star Wars sheets from my bed.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Listen, there's a thing that very few people think of,
and that is you are a full grown adult now,
and if you want a race car bed, you could
have a race car bed.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's also true, Mike.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
It has Spiderman sheets and a Star Wars blanket. And
every time I'm like stripping down the beds and washing everything,
I'm like, I could just put these back on the
opposite bed. He probably wouldn't even say anything.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Ooh, TV static that doesn't really exist anymore either. Yeah,
everything's digital now, so it's either you get a good
signal or you don't. There's no there's no like static.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
You imagine that if there's a remake of this where
it's just pixelating and we're expected to be intimidated.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
They made a remake and it has a drone in it,
and it's fucking I forgot.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
About that remake, and I prefer not to discuss it
any further.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I mean, the even futterier part was it wouldn't even
be pixels. It would just be the thing that says
like input not found.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Just like a blue screen.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's just like that dunked dude. It zooms in on
the wires so we can see the input actually can
be found.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Oh no, my god, the input is there the whole time.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
It's wrong with this. TV coaches really confused. Yeah, my
parents just would have been like, what the fuck is
your problem. It's three in the morning, Go to bed.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I know.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Do you think do you think that haircut is freaky
because we associate it with this horrible little girl, or
do you think that the haircut was already terrifying and
it was just good filmmaking. To put her in that
horrible haircut.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I I did know that it was universally accepted that
she was horrible or that that haircut is scary.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I just I was questioning your hatred for Caroline.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
But all little girls saying calm, weird things. It's just
it's not okay.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Does it? Does it maybe remind you of the children
of the Damned? Is that maybe like a subliminal.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
O It does remind me of the children.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Of the Damned with the blonde hair and stuff, you know,
But I don't know. Only at this point, I have
no problem with the little girl. That's how she wants
to wear her hair. I think it's her business.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Sure, I agree.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I just think she should be punished by being thrown
into a pool with.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
She's not the one who gets thrown into the pool.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I know, but she should have.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
She should have been.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I think that the filmmakers were intending for us to
see her as a victim.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
She can be both sympathetic and a horrible, little nightmare
child that I want to go away.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
She's the wolfman of this cinematic universe. She's sympathetic. It's
not her fault that she's evil.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, exactly, so we just saw Toby Hooper's name. Doug,
I know you're a humongous fan of the Texas Chancel Masaker.
Correct you feel about the Toby Spielberg conspiracy of this movie?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I think Steven Spielberg is a very hands on producer
and the things he produces take on a certain tone,
and Toby Hooper was probably just a director for hire
on this. So yeah, it feels it feels like a
Spielberg movie because Spielberg hired somebody to shut up and
do what they were told.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
That think that's exaccurate.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Do we think this guy's writing his bike back from
the liquor store because he's got a du I?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
No, I think I took it, always took it as
he's responsible and he doesn't want a drink and drive,
so he's riding his bike there so that he can
ride home drunk.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Unfortunately, I don't know how your Canadian laws work, but
if you're riding a bicycle on the street like that
and you were.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Intoxicated, you can still be arrested for drunk driving.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Nobody's going to do that to you.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well, not in nineteen eighty eighty eighty one, whenever this
came out somewhere well.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
To be honest, it was the eighties, so it depended
what color you were.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Also, true suburban white male like this guy could have
drove home drunk and you wouldn't got pulled over. He
could have gotten to do an accident drive.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
And they would have given him a ride.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, it's really unfortunate. I know, spoiled rich kid man.
He's got a real helment.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
There isn't that Vader thing on the bed. Wasn't that
a an alarm clock that.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
You could set and it would like talk?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I don't think so. I think it's one of those
things you open it up and all your figures are
inside it.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Sir, I have the carrying case. It literally is sitting
to my right. I could look right look right at
it as I watched this movie. But that one's got
red eyes. The case is just all black.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
If I could have sworn that that is the that
it's an alarm clock that you would set time, set
the time, and the eyes would light up and it
would talk whenever the alarm went off, Tell them, coach, do.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
You guys remember this problem from the eighties too? This
was a real issue that we used to have with
somebody else has the same TV converter as you in
the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Wasn't this the Oh no, I thought he was the
for some reason, some reason, I thought for a second
he was the neighbor who was looking for alf the
whole time. But it's just similar. Yeah, similar guy, same build,
less hair, also smoked a cigar.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, cigars were kind of the sign of a douchebag
back in the eighties. It's a either a cool, tough
guy or a complete douchebag.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Now do you flush the bird? The bird seems a
little big to be flushed on the toilet.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
It really does. I love that scene because it feels
exactly like eighties parenting. I was just gonna dump this
before you got home.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Like, well, Pete went to live on a farm.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I unfortunately don't understand part of this movie because the
guys in the living room having that fight, I would
have been doing the opposite thing. I'd have been like,
all right, sports, yeah, oh cool, mister Rogers.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
To see the idea is that those were men in
there and.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, man in the eighties, specifically, I.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Don't every man I know still gets together with the
guys to watch football. I even still know guys that
ride their bikes over so they can get drunk and
ride home.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
All this coddling to kids in the eighties and out
their dead pets.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
You know, they're going to bury a bird. Can you imagine?
I used to make my parents bury fish. So I
can't say anything.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
I think that's a small hole.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
My mom would have been like, all right, let's carry
this up.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
This really is an idealized eighties family where the mom
actually like is taking her time to deal with the kids,
and the kid, the boy has all the toys that
you would want and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Really, you can make a lot of money as a
realtor selling houses that are built on top of a cemetery.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well there was a housing boom around this time, so
maybe that's what they're referencing. But yeah, similar to how
realistmate agents like make a ton of money nowadays because
well they were until recently because of the housing boom.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
I suppose.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Also, Spielberg is a capitalist pig, so the kid having
all the toys is just him supporting commercialism.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Well, he just called his buddy Georgia and it's like, hey,
can we put these toys in and he's like, I
have merchandising rights. Fuck yeah, you can free commercial guarantee.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
You had the studio pay George for them. It is
funny though, because when you watch movies that are from
like an old and like fifties or whatever, there's like
that idealized world and you always think that's what it
must have really been like. Then you watch this and
you compare it to what the eighties was actually like,
and you're like, oh, yeah, right were they were idealizing

(19:02):
things all the time.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, I've seen those pictures that it's like, oh, you
grew up in the eighties. And then it shows like
a bedroom like straight out of like Saved by the
Bell with all that like neon paint and ship on
the walls, and it's like, no, I lived in the eighties,
which is like the brown wood paneling and just everything
in the living room is brown.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yep, Well thing, Oh you lived in the eighties, And
then showing Saved by the Bell, which in my brain
is about as quintessentially early nineties as it gets.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Right, let's not nitpick the memes that Brian may be
marrying up referencing.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Saying his reference is a wrong. That's one thing people
would say, they're just incorrect.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
There's just.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
This feels pretty eighties though. There's a tree outside my window.
It scares me. There's nothing I can do about it.
My parents aren't gonna like, they don't care. They scared
of that. That's fine. Just continue being scared of that
for the rest of your life.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Dare at this fucking clown puppet. It'll make you feel better.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Your dad, as he's closing the door, he's like, well,
I hope the tree doesn't each in the middle of
the night, good night, and you just shut the door,
and you'd be like, you motherfucker.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
That's that's that's the great dad on the street who
actually comes into his kid's bed to say good night
and doesn't just yell it from down the hall because
he's still watching the game.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Just got one, not one, but.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Two fish, the red fish and a bluefish.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
That very much looks like the container for your action figures.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, it's the red eyes.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
The red eyes throws me off.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I wonder if there was like multiple versions over or something,
because you're right now that you say it, mine has
black eyes too.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, and fuck that clown spirit Halloween was selling a
replica of that clown.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Yeah, well, that's that's pretty dope.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I know. I went to look for it, but they
didn't have it in the story near me.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I was gonna say, I went to Spirit, but I
didn't see it.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
So they do have it online so you can order it.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I don't actually want to own it. I just want
to go to the store and look at it and go, man,
cool to own.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
But yeah, is the Twilight Zone episode?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
It seems like it would be.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
But rest it might be an outer limits. Oh, it
sounds like I do remember.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Which one does I'm gm own the rights to.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
I remember watching this for the first time as an
adult and realizing that he's rolling a joint.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh my god, they're smoking weed.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Because I mean, the first time I saw this movie
was probably whenever it was released on home video, Like
it was still a child. I never would pieced it together.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
They dumped the weed all over the bed and then
he starts reading a Reagan book. Who started the War
on drugs? Come on mix messages.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Or even start the war on drugs? He just expanded it.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Well, Nancy Reagan started to just Say No campaign, which
worked really well.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
It is. That's why there's no drugs anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
That's why what they're doing isn't legal in most states.
Now in Illinois or in the United States.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
It's legal across Canada.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Can't know because your country is smart enough just to
do it nationwide. We have to do it state by
state here.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
But you're only allowed to grow three plants, which apparently
is a lot.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I think that's about what we are. Most states done
here to you three or five.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Sorry, there's skeletons.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I like. I like the idea that they're worried about
her falling in the pool before there's water, but they're
just Spunser's water. It's fine for her to fall in
it while she's asleep. That'll be no problem.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
They're high m hmm.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Why you couldn't Why you couldn't roll that joint? Just
because it was not his first one. That's why he
was struggling with it.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Apparently.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
I just found a whole article about that Darth Vader
toy and they said that is the carrying case, and
that that the red Eyes have been this big discussion
because at first they thought it maybe was a prototype
of that toy, but the prototypes were all gold, so
they think that one. They literally just painted the bread
for the movie for no like to make it stand out.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
All right, good, that's me. I also have that. I
have that version of Clue as well, sitting on my shelf.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I think that's probably the Clue game that I still
have in my parents' basement where my Star Wars carrying
case still is.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
And yeah, a lot of my stuff was at my
grandma's house and she was like, I might die in
the next couple of years, so you should probably come
get all this stuff so that you have it, And
then that ended up being true.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
So yeah, the fucking clown, fuck you clown.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Oh, I'd be giving them the middle finger, not the
finger guns.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Just it is very funny that in the movie filled
with some very scary images, the one that like traumatized
me is that fucking clown. That that clown is scary
as shit.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
I just want.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
To to clown at all. I don't know, that's a
fun thing that just doesn't get to me. I think
it's because I grew up in a house where there
was like lots of dolls and ship all over the place.
Just didn't occurred to me that they were scary.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I just wonder whose clown is it. He doesn't seem
to like it, so it's not his. Is that Carol
Anne's a clown?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
No, I think it's his. I think somebody bought it
for him and he's like, I don't like it, and
parents were like, it's the eighties. Somebody your grandma gave
you that it stays in your room.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I just threw that shit out.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Well, it's not up to you, you know what. I
took one more hit before she dealt with.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
I don't think I ever registered this. But of all
the things that tell you how bougie this fucking family is,
they've got a goddamn console television in their bedroom. That's
so that would have been so fucking expensive.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Then it's true, sure, because I remember, like when we
started getting multiple TVs in our house, when TV's got smaller, cheaper.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I don't think it's the multiple TVs. I think it's
the fact that it's a console TV. Yeah, yeah, because
I remember we had multiple TVs, but we only had
one console TV and it was in the living room.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Right for a little while, I had that in my bedroom,
made the console TV because when my parents got like
a better TV, it was like my bedroom was on
the same floor as the living room, so we could
get it there without wasn't going anywhere else.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
It took like four guys to lift it and carry
it down the hallway.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, once it was there, it stayed there for a while.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
I was gonna say them motherfuckers had wheels.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Mine didn't. It sat directly on the floor.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
It was so heavy that, like when it broke, we
just bought a new TV and put it on top
of the console because we weren't moving that piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Correct. Kids these days don't know how good they have
it with their TVs that you can lift with only
one person.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
My my greatest sign of wealth is whenever DVDs became
a thing, and my dad was always kind of a
techy guy, so got himself a five disc DVD changer.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
That's absurd.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah, it was ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Serve no purpose the changer for DVDs, Like, just change
the fucking thing. H But I stole our old VCR
that was in the living room and I already had
a VCR for my bedroom because my parents were ridiculous
and would spend too much money on us. But that
allowed me to go to our local video store that

(27:50):
had five movies five days, five dollars and dub every
horror movie they had.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Nice see, that was a family affair for us. We
just dubbed movies in the living room. My dad didn't
like it because he didn't like the movies we were dub.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
We had the you know, friends that would get like
free HBO for the weekends and my parents would just
give them a tape and they would just record a
bunch of movies and then we would have all those
on you know, three per tape.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, we had a bunch of those two whenever we
got the first it was first choice.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
But I found some of those old ones that we
did that where we you know it did the.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Slow time record and put more movies on it. In Jesus,
first of all, VHS quality sucks. That VHS quality was
so bad and we didn't even notice.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I remember taking some of those with me to university
because it was like I just like went went home
for the weekend and just bring some movies back to
watch and then realizing then like, oh these are really bad.
Like it's like those just like before DVD had come out,
or right as DVD was coming out.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Do you remember what the first DVD is that it
was like yours, like, this is my.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
DVD Titan, A tighten A.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Nice DVD was a nightmare on Elm Street.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I got like it was like Christmas. I got a
DVD player and like a gift card to a store
to where that sold DVDs, and I went and got
it myself.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
So mine was mall rats.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
A friend of mine gave it to me for my birthday.
I was living. I was living with a guy who
had a DVD player and he had all kinds of DVDs. Yeah,
a friend of mine's like, oh here, now that you
have access to a DVD player, there's mall rats.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know that's back when every special feature on on
a blue or on a DVD was like gold.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh yeah, it was big.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
So you'd listen to all the Kevin Smith commentaries and stuff,
which were always hilarious.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh yeah, do you guys remember getting excited for the
DVD menu because you're like, I wonder what clever thing
they put in this tvd It was a whole fucking thing.
Was talking to people about it.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
The worst thing was you'd have the DVD players that
would shut themselves off automatically. But if it had an
animated menu, then it wouldn't know that you weren't playing something,
so it wouldn't shut itself automatically off if you'd fell asleep.
I don't know why we're talking about DVDs anyway. Those
are like fifteen years after this movie that we're supposed.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
To be talking because look at this TV. Yeah, imagine
playing imagine playing a DVD on this TV.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
No.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
God, I wonder if people had strokes in the theater
from like strobing that's going on.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I think it's like it's the eighties, it's but when
we didn't save people's lives yet, so those people were
all already dead before they got to the theater.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Like Survival of the Fittest Bitch.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
That hand looked really cool, Eh.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
There' spelling effects on that still hold up really well,
or visual effects.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Well, the fact that I'm ninety percent sure that's just
cell painting. Yeah, and the artists they hired to do it,
it's just fucking amazing.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, it's got to be what it is, But.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I mean it could be the the other because there
was another thing that was similar.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
To cell painting. I can't remember what it was called,
but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
If we were good at podcasting, we'd looked all that
kind of information up and we'd know it to tell
people instead of guessing.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
But little Girl, classic classic line for Bouldergeist caterpillar represent woo.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Woo, what we're excited to see? Caterpillar.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Uh, it used to be the headquarters of a caterpillar.
It's a couple of years ago we moved up to Chicago.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I do like that. The first thing they did was
dig up the bird.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Of course, like fuck this bird.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
It is some great It is great foreshadowing though, of
them digging up the grave of the bird. Yeah, it's
pretty genius.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Why would you feed your dog your waffle? That waffle
looked good, especially if the only other thing you're eating
is fucking cheerios and you're gonna give up the waffle.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I don't know. This is where like like Noah's mad
at the kids for being creepy or whatever. I'm like,
you're throwing fucking food in the kitchen, like she just
cooked that for you. Eat properly.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
To be fair, they do have a dog, so any
cereal that falls in the floor, the dog will clean
it up.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, it's fair.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
It's one of the privileges of having a dog.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
This is like the whole thing though, of like the
idea that on a weekday a family sits down to breakfast. Like,
have you ever met a family that doesn't. No, like
this whole idea that the mom is cooking. It's like, no,
the fact mean toasting something, sure, but.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
The fact she does she doesn't have her own job,
is baffling.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
That on one salary.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah right, and until modern audience, Oh, it's not my mess,
it's totally your mess. I just would have been smacked
about five times for number one, throwing food, number two
breaking a glass my fault or not three uh, getting

(33:46):
milk everywhere.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Like this scenario never would have happened. I would have
been eating off like a TV tray if I was
eating anything in the mornings.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, eat your cereal that has a glass in it.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
I mean I don't.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
The weird thing is I don't recall ever eating breakfast
like as a child in my life. I'm sure my
parents would have given me it if I wanted, But
I've never been a breakfast person, and I just I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
I was always I was serious, kid. I would have
had a bowl cereal in front of the TV.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, the same, and it would have been like really
unhealthy cereal.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Maybe I would have been like me a pop tart.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Oh remember the playful eighties when you can sexually harass
a teenager and not feel weird about.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
It, like her mom sees you doing it and isn't
bothered by it at all.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, ap yours.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
But it's weird because she's not even like, oh, she's serious.
She doesn't look older, do you know what I mean?
Like she looks like I wouldn't have guessed sixteen. I
would have guessed younger.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Somebody asked, Yeah, I mean, is child this a little.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Yeah, it's a little much.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I watched this war movie instead of the static.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Statics bad for you? Watch people die?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Will you.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Man this house? Look at this house like double sink bathroom.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
They're the bougie as fuck.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Dog up on the bed barking at the wall for
no reason.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Although again, the more you watch this, the harder gets
to feel sorry for this family because they're too bougie.
Fuck about these bougie motherfuckers. They deserve it all.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Well, I guess in retrospect, even the fact that they
were like upset earlier about their TV remote screwing things up.
It's like, wait, you had a TV remote in nineteen
eighty two. That's that's kind of bougie, Like that's me.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out how to get this
secondhand atari fucking hooked up to the fucking UHF plug
on the back.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
You know, I love this guys just sticking his head
through the window and stealing food.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Just yeah, put your mouth on everything. I'm sure it
hasn't been on some questionable people over the weekends.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
No relaxed about it, didn't care that he's sexually arrested,
but kicks him out for touching her food, which again
reads his questions about if it's like eight in the mornings,
if the kids just left for school, what is she
cooking right now?

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Is she's cooking like sauce, She's just cooking sauce later, I'm.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Just gonna make sauce at eight am for dinner, Like what's.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
It's It's weird that I feel like the only thing
missing from her ever reaction is her just going well,
boys will be boys. She's a maa though she definitely
is eighties hot.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Well, I mean yeah, you got to account for like
the hair and the the outfits and stuff. You know.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Wow, TV people, is where does the blonde come from?
Everybody else in the family has like dark hair, and
then there's this girl. She has to be adopted.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well there, behind the scenes information suggests that this is
not one big happy family. That like, the oldest daughter
is actually from the husband's previous marriage. I don't know
what happened to his first wife.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Ah yeah, and it seems like I remember hearing about that,
So then.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Maybe this daughter is from her previous marriage. I don't know, but.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
She's the youngest. So where where's the boy come from?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
He was just in the house when they moved in.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
So when they were having their affair on their previous spouses,
he was conceived. So he actually is there out of wedlock.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Chile. It's not clear the clown brought him. They just
bought a clown and it came with a kid.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Everybody wears so much brown.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
I don't that fridge upsets me. Fridges should be like white,
black or silver. I don't know why that's a different color.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Because it was it's nineteen eighty two or coming out
of the seventies. Olive green. Yeah, well, I.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Was gonna say all the olive green fridge was very
much a product of the like eighties, seventies. It would
have been like that light blue color.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Oh god, I do like the two toned station wagon
two tone station wagons classic. I kind of.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Miss do you guys miss station wagons? No, like they
were fucking cool.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
No, I missed being able to just sit in the
very back and not have to worry about seatbelts or
car regulations or anything like that from the eighties.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
I was explaining to my kid that when when I
was his age, like I would sit in we would
put the seats down so they weren't in the way. Well,
we played in the backseat of a moving vehicle. He's
flabbergasted and very upset, but he's like, there were.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Some of those that had like the seat that faced
out the back window. Though, yeah, like those are amazing.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
But I wouldn't have wanted that. I like had the
freedom to be like no totally. So, I mean with
suburban so we like had lots of room back.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Which you really needed. Was a super u brat with
those weird plastic seats in the bed of.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Why does he have sunglasses on the dark? Out?

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yep, Sue's that chair started in wiggling.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
I'm like, all right, done, back it up, we're moving, Yep, out,
We're done.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
The fact that she's excited, I would fucking I'd be like,
I'm leaving and I want to divorce. Excited about this situation?

Speaker 4 (40:40):
That cool.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
The fact you're putting a football helmet on our daughter
slide across the floor is child endangerment.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
No, let's be honest, I'd do that. The helmet was
definitely the compromise. The kid wanted to do it, and
the mom's like, fine, but you're wearing a helmet, and
then the brother is gonna come home and be mad
theyre us his helmet without permission?

Speaker 4 (41:02):
Is is this supposed to be in Missouri?

Speaker 1 (41:07):
I think it's supposed to be in California?

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Handsome Where the Rams in California at that time?

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Los Angeles? Yah, Eli Rams.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
They like to move around a lot, actually, so it's
hard to keep track.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Because then they Yeah, they moved to Saint Louis and
now they've moved did they move back to.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
La uh, I don't know, Yeah, I think so something
like that. I can't even keep track.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Oh you eating some of that sauce that the mom
was making earlier time? Is that chili? Is he eating
chili on a plate? No, that seems that's weird.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
That might be strange about moving stuff moving on its own.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
And I was gonna say, kids eating it's it's the eighties,
so it's probably either chili mac or like strogan off.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
One or the other, some gulash.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Maybe it could be a gulage.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
I like, this kid just took a spoonful off the
plate and just ate it. This is our door chili.
This is where we eat it.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Definitely. They were even just sitting in the easy chair
in front of the TV and the kid was laying
on the floor in front of them so you could
watch the TV while he ate.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yep, right now, this neighbor is like I smell pot
coming out of their bedroom window all the time. These
two are motherfucking high.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
See wearing one of those like this is a working
class neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
We do Cocaine's wearing like one of those aquatic like
Hawaiian shirts, got like a crab or something on it.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah, nice?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
What the fuck did you do to your face? Man?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
It's like he has like razor rash, but she's worried
about getting infected. Like, how bad did you do it?

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Well? Is that? Is that shaving cream? Or is that
like toilet paper? Okay, it's shaving. I think I thought
it looked like toilet the little toilet paper pieces from
cutting himself. How do you do it?

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Man?

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Just anybody know if this actually works?

Speaker 2 (43:25):
But if you count, and I think yeah, supposedly anyway.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean I know that like obviously, if you count
and it gets further away, you can gauge that. I
just didn't know if the actual like mileage part of it.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Well, I mean that the speed should be consistent. I
don't know if that speed's consistent enough that it's one.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
For one like people say it is. But yeah, m hm.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Kid's kind of afraid of everything.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Now.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Listen, I'm afraid of the clowns of the storm. She's
sleeping with the clown, so the clown is hers then
her clown apparently.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
He just doesn't like it, so he put it in
her bed.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
It's possible as well.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Now this idea that the tree comes into your bedroom
and gets you. I think is definitely it's time to
start thinking about leaving.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Yeah, for sure, Yeah I was gonna I was gonna say,
the big problem is you've got the kid with his
all of his crazy fears, right, but he turns out
to be justified because that kid gets like fucked.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Throughout this movie, Like.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
A lot of the stuff he's scared of is the
stuff that gets him too. So right, So are we
to interpret this as the tree grabbed him and dragged
him outside just so the TV people could suck the

(45:12):
little girl into the hallway with nobody interfering. Yes, yes,
I think it was a distraction technique.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Distraction.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yeah, that's pretty clever move by ghost standards.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Remember wicker headboards. Mmm, eat this kid?

Speaker 4 (45:37):
I did this?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Is you gotta give them points because they do a
good job of like nothing really scary has happened up
until this point, and then this is just fucked.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
This is going to be like it's zero to a
tree eating a kid in like thirty five seconds.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Right, Remember we were about the chair moving across the floor.
Now there's a tree eating our child and the other
one is getting sucked into the closet.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Even took a beating coming down as well.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Was that an actual kid or a little person like
stump person? Because if not, whatever it is, they should
have got a stumpy.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Then that's the crossover moment between this and Evil Dead too.
That was the tree getting sucked into the portal.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Oh ship, where the fuck is our other daughter? Look
at that?

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Look look at their faces. They open up the room
and everything's just gone.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
I got that C three po light switch and everything
all right?

Speaker 2 (46:54):
You know that you lost.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
You have a three p o light switch, so you're
doing It's a fair trade, I think, mm hmmm, because
you know she wanted to put like a Barbie one
up too, right, there was a whole fight about it.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Oh sweet Jesus, we found.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Oh good, we found double size.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
But ah, fuck you clown.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
I feel like that is so different. So if this
movie had been made after the year two thousand, you
know they would have screamed right there, right they w.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah kind of laugh. Is that for a robot?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
It's a creepy, weird one. I definitely think the little
moments like that that is a Tooby hooperrism, right, just
s the we're gonna do a close up shot on
this thing being weird that doesn't really have anything to
do with anything else, and you're gonna find it off
putting and you're not gonna be sure why.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
And okay, answer, I so we're gonna have to hire
a weird little lady. It is.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
It is funny, like you just try to imagine, like
what you would do in this sner and you're like, like,
they must know she went in the closet. Everything else
went in the closet.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Like, yeah, who do you call her? You're like, well,
I think my daughter may have been sucked into the TV.
I don't know do I file a missing person's report
or how does that work?

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Well? And I it.

Speaker 7 (48:39):
Raises a lot of horrible jump It's just, yeah, that's
what happens when you don't hire a stuntman to do
the joke.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Right that poor kids covered in mud and fluid from
that tree's wet mouth.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
This supposed to be blood all over his face or
what is that?

Speaker 4 (49:00):
I don't know's it's more like tree digestive juices.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
It's like some weird combination of tree sap and treees.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Tree jes.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I found the trees most to be oddly sexual, and
I didn't like it.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Listen, there's multiple moments in this movie where the ghosts
feel very very rapey.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Yeah, and that like that the tree's mouth reminds me
of like Freddy Kruger's mouth when he like the tongue
comes out of the phone and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
The snake Freddy from Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a Snake's an interesting word for Penis Freddy.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Big old Penis Freddy.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Like, how does your brain even rationalize that? Like, is
she actually just in the TV cabinet?

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Well, that would be the instinct, right, would be to
go around the back and like start unscrewing things.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
It would be like one of those dogs on YouTube
that sees the dog walk off screen and goes behind
the TV to look just be the same thing. Yeah,
it's the same office from Ghostbusters.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
It looks like it.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
You gonna hold up some cards and ask you what's
on the start shocking them.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I don't think this is ever registered in my brain.
Are they supposed to be the Warrens because she actually
does look like Elizabeth?

Speaker 2 (50:36):
I think it's supposed to be inspired by the Warrens,
but I don't think they actually want them to be
the Warrens. Because they want these people to be actual
helpfuls helpful, like.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Really not not just credit hungry shit bags.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
I don't think this is supposed to be conners, so
I don't.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Think she'd I'd never put together that she looked. It's
like Larian Warren. Now that does complete sense.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Yeah, I mean it looks exactly like her, and I
mean the other guy kind of looks like Ed but skinny.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Yeah, I guess Tangina kind of has a Lorurian Warren
look to her too. This size that house.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Look at this has that roof that's like impractical. When
it comes time to redo those shingles, it's gonna cost
so much ward and it would if it was a
normal shape.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
She's basically disowned us.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
We're pretty sure she's dating a forty five.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Year old construction worker.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
But it's the eighties, so that's cool. He's gonna take
good care of her and tell you, guys, first divorce.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Did you guys have girls in high school? The day
did guys that were like twenty five are?

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Our high school instituted a rule where the homecoming dances
and prom and stuff that your date could not be
over the age of twenty.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
Five and it was a thing.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Girls were going nuts and throwing fits about that they
couldn't bring their boyfriend. We were all like, the rule
is twenty five. You're a freshman.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
This is disgusting.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, here's your proof of poltergeist. By the way, Yeah,
most of the girls that just pluged itself in fucking
hulk on a unicorn of course.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Most of the girls I remember from high school, oh
fuck you. Uh, they weren't so much going to dances.
There were more like, oh, my boyfriend's a biker type
and I'm just thinking about that as like an adult,
and I'm just like, who the fuck was letting their
like fifteen year old daughter run around with someone who's

(53:12):
like twenty five.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
Yeah, I know, seems so weird now heard. There just
was a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Coffee.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I love that. How can we tell if it's haunted
or not? And the thing just slides in front of
her as she's saying it.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
I love that's she's going through her spiel that she
normally gives to people whenever she goes to their house,
and like, the spooky thing is there's a warm spot
in a room.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
I know, I don't know, I don't know, like what
the argument is at this point.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Right, I like the Ray Parker Junior over here. It's
just like, yeah, there's like a cold spot. Never mind,
never worry about the fucking room.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
We just saw a lamp literally fuck its own shade.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
And then the Hulk Road bottom Unicorn.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
You have a cold spots. There's something we can deal with.
We we know how to address that. I guess should
keep the TV on all things considered, right, like you would.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Yeah, I would never shut it off. Put it on
that channel three or four, whatever the whatever the spirit
world is set to that specific day.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Spirit the spirit the spirit world is either on forty
five or forty seven, depending on what part of town
you're in.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
I remember that being an issue too.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
When we were at our house versus my grandma's house.
One of the TV stations was different because it was
hitting from a different tower. You'd be like, why isn't
this working.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
I remember we had one of those big tall towers
beside our house too, because I used to climb it.
My parents would get mad at me for it. Oh, buppy,
that dog's been like conveniently just missing for a while.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Yeah, when the tree stuff was going on, that dog
was not around.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
The dogs, Like I eat enough sticks. I'm not risking
that stick eating me right back.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Oh, look at there, they got their vinyl collection next
to the TV. Like, how do you talk to your daughter?

(56:23):
And you'd be like, I talked to her through the TV.
And they're like, yeah, I sent my kids in front
of the TV too, And you'd be like, that's not
what I'm right.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
And again, I don't know if this is on purpose,
but you notice how they talk like they're in a cult.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Now.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
I think the idea that they are trying to behave
in in a way that they've may be seen in
movies or whatever.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
Don't go in the light, gar Lad, you stupid bitch.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
So why are you acting like the girl's done something wrong.
She just got sucked into a TV through a closet.
It's not her fault.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
She could have held onto that wicker longer the wicker broke.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
She still had it in her hand when she went
in the closet.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
Stop interrupting my victim blaming.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
You're gonna have to sue the Wicker company for porst craftsmanship.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Okay, So the closet is the mouth, and this is
the butthole.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
That appears to be the case.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yes, yes, a bunch of like China plates from like
the Titanic come through.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
It is genuinely creepy, that little girl's voice coming through
like that.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
There's someone here.

Speaker 6 (58:07):
He keeps talking about politics.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Oh. All I can get in this dimension is the
seven hundred Club.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
Mom, let me die.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
I just remember I'd be watching cartoons or something on
the weekend and the fucking seven hundred Club would go on,
and just the sheer disappointment that would go through my mind.

Speaker 8 (58:33):
They're like, oh fuck, no, no, I'm gonna go outside.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
I find a little disturbing. She's a little orgasmic over
this whole thing.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Yeah, Like I said, they talk.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
All of a sudden, she starts talking as if she's
in a cult.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
It's fearless leader.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Fearless Leader touched me, and now I'm heeled smeller child
that you've never even met before.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
I guess. I mean the idea is that she's just
having a breakdown and it doesn't know how to react
to anything. Now somebody's playing the drums and you're just like, god,
damn it.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
Good to fuck away from the door.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
These three are still sitting here and We're like, well,
I don't know, it could still be fake. I'm using
the toilet.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
And it goes crap in peace.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
She was not playing. She was getting sucked into a vortex. Bitch.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
She was in her room getting a secondhand high. Because
we share a vent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
They shouldn't be smoking in the house. I guess it's
the eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Yeah, it'd smoke everywhere. WHOA, what's this?

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
I got bit by a tree?

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
The kid is like, what the fuck? Now? I'm scared
of this too. Add that to the list of things
I'm scared of?

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Is that painting in the back? Oh, never mind, painting
in the back kind of looked like a weird like
Michael Myers Picasso thing that was going on.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Yeah, it's just Walmart art that they hung on their
boushiye house.

Speaker 4 (01:01:03):
Yeah, it's boushie bastards.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
I remember those like glass shelves. My grandparents said some
of those.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
But the weirdly a lot of like the furniture and
stuff in this house.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
I'm like, yeah, I think I had that in my
house at some point.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
This must have been on sale at Sears. Everybody I
knew had it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Like, oh, they're whispering, like is if people don't know
their house is haunted at this point, we don't want
them to find out.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
Let's let's this ship. This ship is fucked.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
We should got it. Remember when I got bit? Remember
give it go?

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Now listen, these.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Yes motherfuckers don't need our help, which was like I
need to fucking sleep, you asshole.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
That drunk in his chair again. I mean, I know
that's where he was earlier before any of us started.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
But they've got a console TV in the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Shouldn't be help.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Yeah, don't turn it off, bitch, it's our only form
of communication.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
I I would pitch slappers turned that TV out. I'll
tell you that it was my kid that got sucked
into a TV.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
Yeah, why are we all whispering?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
We're all awake, we all know what's going on. We've
all figured it out.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
They'd be like, oh, but this kid's a sleeping Like
fuck this kid he almost got eaten by a tree.
We didn't even care that much.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
They did, like they haven't gone back to address that,
like the trauma that that kid experienced.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
That all right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
Now, we're worried about your sister not you know, And
he's like, but what about what.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
About We're not sure your house is haunted, bitch. A
tree reached in the window and tried to eat our son,
Yes it is.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
I was.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
I was attacked though, and they're like, shut up. Whenever
you get sexually accosted by a clown doll, then we'll talk.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Let's see he's sexually accosted by construction workers in the
backyard is one thing, but if it's by a doll,
then we'll be upset. Clorox, I like that she just
brought booze with her on this job.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Seriously, why are we whispering? We're all awake, even the
kids awake. Now stop whispering.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
The kid's whispering too, well, he's just whispering to fit in.
That's fine. I don't blame him.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Coaches like, I'll fucking kill you, piece of shit.

Speaker 4 (01:04:05):
Can we move to Canada? Then by a tree?

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
You get bit by a tree there, they'll patch you up.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
See the scant on my nose. This cost us twenty
thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Yeah, really lucky you didn't bump those giant teeth. He heads.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
In the sequel, he has braces that attack of.

Speaker 4 (01:04:42):
What you shouldn't you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Should not be saying these things to this kid.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Right, Remember how you talked about how you were wanted
to kill yourself to go find your sister. Here's all
the great things about being dead.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
I don't yeah, I just just okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
Maybe they were just super chill ghosts. And then you
guys had a bunch of pot smoking here and they
got a contact high and just freaked out.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
A bunch of McCarthy ghosts from nineteen fifties, like these
fucking hippies in our house. Fuck this shit.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
I just I don't know why nobody's saying to the
kid there there, everything will be fine. That's what you're
supposed to say to a kid who's scared this shit.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
They listen, it's the eighties. Next time a tree tries
to eat, you help yourself equip being such a little bussy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Yeah that's why Caroline left, because you're a little bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Yep, Jesus, they forgot the kid to just randomly confesses
to having his lunch money stolen.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
This isn't a therapy session. Calm down.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
And then the mom's like, yeah, that's normal case. You're
just you're a little bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Yeah, you're scared of earlier, remember what they do hold
a clown up at you until you give him your money.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
Like you said, everyone treating you like ship, your little
fucking bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
This is why Grandma stops sending you birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
But they whispered it because it's late at night. So
it's okay to say those things to a kid.

Speaker 4 (01:06:41):
Grandpa died a shame.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
He's like, he's like your mother, your mother, Your mother's right,
you are a little bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Just just wakes up mid conversation and just supports whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Mom's Oh yeah, whatever your mom said.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Oh maybe uncomfortable. And they did a close up with
that TV because it created the static, but in widescreen,
and I don't like that that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Makes it it does? It seemed weird that that kid
has his hand on her on her boob and it's
not really her kid.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
That could be her kid. We don't know. I thought
we established it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
No, I'm saying, like a wise.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Oh okay, are we getting back into this debate. I
don't think that that counted as a hand on the boot.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Look at that cheeto's bag by this dork that still
wears his class ring.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
He's wearing a tie during this paranormal investigation. Nobody else
is dressed nice a.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Tie with his shirt untucked so that you know he's casual.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Well, that's because it's the middle of the night. This
is how he sleeps.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
Could you watch these while I go eat food out
of these people's fridge.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
I'm just gonna sit here and make more nightmare drawings.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Ooh, Ritz, It does.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Seem like there ought to be like a some sort
of a setup for the food, Like, obviously they can't
just live in your house for days without eating, but
I don't hope they should be going through your fridge either.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Look.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
I also looks very much like one of my dad's
friends whose name was Dean, that we grew up with.
And every time I see this movie, I'm like, what
the heck's Dean doing in this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
I like that he had a cartoon Steak from the Flintstones,
just sitting bear in the fridge.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
It's it's interesting when you watch movies before about like
like honestly, before like two thousand, like wait, for a
long time, they just thought that was the easiest thing
to do, was take whatever you wanted in the fridge
and have it be the only thing. So you open
the fridge and they just immediately grab it and it
never occur to them to try to make it look
realistic at all.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Apparently that steak is very rare.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Look at that steak too, though. Could you imagine just
taking that out of somebody else's fridge without talking to
them about it, and you're just gonna cook it up
and eat.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
It and gross?

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Awesome?

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Though it still looks amazing, Like the steak looks amazing.
It's a little shot. It's maggots, Michael, right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Up until the maggots. I still kind of want to
eat that steak.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
Maggots, Michael. How does it taste? Michael?

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
This is just a random sink they have in a closet.
It's like utility sinks.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
It appears to be that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Yeah, and here we have the best fucking scene of
the entire movie.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
I forgot this was coming.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Yeah, it's a pretty nice dummy head by that way.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
It's all awesome. I like to scene the shots of
like just whatever that is dropping into the sink.

Speaker 4 (01:10:06):
Oh you had just the meat, just this face meat?

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
What the fuck.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
So good?

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
I like how he looked down like, is I need
my face meat down there? Man?

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
You can really hallucinate when you eat maggots.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Like it, like in a movie that is not a
body horror movie. You have one of the best, like
thirty seconds of body horror.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Yeah, it's awesome. I wish there was more of that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
It's good to see he's paying attention to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Yeah, I know he's is he drawing? Like nothing will
hold this guy's attention, Like he's already He's already seen
all the shit right, like he doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
What is weird right now is if music just started playing,
you'd be convinced that this is just a normal Luther
Vendross music video.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
I thought this was the Somebody's Watching Me video?

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Was that Ray Parker Junior Somebody's Watching Now?

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
He was Ghostbusters?

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Yeah, I just didn't know it was a the barge.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
That did the Somebody's Watching Me?

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
Or no, Rockwell, rock Well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
That feels right. I know that you're saying it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
Song did the barge do?

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
I don't know. I like that the camera is like
automated to automatically film what it needs to, so this
guy can just trow. They had that in eighteen eighty two,
or not, at least not in a portable format.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
Rockwall who had a hit song because somebody was like
friends with Michael Jackson.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
I'm just.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
The night was by the barge.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
All right. At least we're not off on a tangent again.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
No, not us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
What are we?

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
What are we supposed to do? Get facts about polter guys?
Nobody knows facts about polter guys.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
Nothing, nothing weird happened during the making of this. It
was a pretty easy shoot, no problem when it came out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
That shot that, like the way the camera is moving
up the stairs, there was actually a really well done shot. Yeah,
I appreciate that. We forget that they had to like
in the eighties, had to be a guy like walking
up those stairs. They couldn't do that digitally by zooming
in or anything.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
I'm gonna guess this ghost lady was like shot in
like a swimming pool or something.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
That makes sense, but I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Yeah, fucking ghost lady in my house.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
It is super weird. How like, like in retrospect watching it,
trying to be analytical, you're like, well, the poltergeist just
shows up in every imaginable fashion, Like it was a
piece of steak a minute ago, and now it's a
ghost lady.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
Now, what the fuck was that?

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
What is it? A ghost? A ghost? You stupid fuck
like a ghost.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
We've been saying ghost for the past three days. You've
seen all this shit, like.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
How they're checking their instruments, like, did anything happen just there? Yeah, yeah,
something happened. Oh so it's not a vampire because it
has a reflection when you film it, we're narrowing it down.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
Folks close closer and closer.

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
So many orbs.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Something feels very real to me about the fact that
the kid is just allowed to be experience all this.
It's like watching it happen and they're all like it
just as Lung you're on the way. It's fine because
there was that weird thing in the eighties where like
if your parents had something to do, you were just
there with them while they did it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:35):
Go read this highlights magazine. Well I get my teeth cleaned.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Well let's send them off. I like that they just
put him in a cab by himself and they'll like
to see you later.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Where's the cab going?

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
Can I go like, like pug all this, I don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
To say you people hanging out with enough ghost.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
Like the fact that you could interpret it as two ways.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
That's the weirdly smart dog being like, hey, I'm gonna
get out of here because there's a ghost in this house.
Or you could interpret it as hey, this kid's the
one that leaves the fucking snacks out, so I'm out.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
I like that the dog called shotgun, and so he was.
He was up in the front seat when they left.

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
Just like, hey, this is cool.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
I'm right now obsessed with the fact that they've taken
Craig T. Nelson. His hair is messed up, he hasn't shaved,
his shirt's like dirty and untucked. But his wife still
has her hair all done up in primp Daidies style, like,
and she's in a bathroom like she's still showering every
day and stuff, and like, look, it's important. She's a
trophy wife. She's got to still look hot. It doesn't
matter that her kid's in a TV you know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
Critin he's one of unfortunately, one of those people that, like,
I get it, he's not like one of the most
hyper attractive men on the planet or anything like that,
but he is one of those people that's just kind
of like classically just a handsome man. So they've tried
to mess him up and he just looks slightly diship.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
That's it, Like all his shirts wrinkly, must really be suffering.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
I like how the only were whispering again, Why is
the only person comforting the mom this stranger as opposed
to like her husband.

Speaker 4 (01:16:32):
Or well it's the eighties, you can show that kind
of weakness, James Karen.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
So you better watch your tongue if you like this job.
Like this job.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
He is here like threatening to fire and cried t
Nelson from being homesick.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
My daughter is missing?

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Ah, fuck off?

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Yeah, you fucking built her house, your piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I like how when he was walking away the bald
got dimmer. It's a nice little touch.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Like, oh he's leaving. We don't need to expend as
much energy anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:17:21):
Your daughter still missing?

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Yeah, I don't see you know the hot one. Wait
that's the youngest one. Oh I meant the older one. Yes,
that's what I meant.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
I didn't when he said I'd like to show you
something that made me uncomfortable, he said that at all.
That's how what purport says that. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
So there's good news. You know you're home working sick
because you're Is it your daughter again? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
Yeah, whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
We're going to be selling some more houses in your neighborhood,
so now you can work from here, so you can
still be productive. You fucking piece of shit.

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
She's not in there, she's in the.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
TV taking a shot. Why not?

Speaker 9 (01:18:20):
Oh do?

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
I'm still taking a ship? M fuck? Is he let
me use this whatever this is as a cane? But
I like that heat. Cranky Nelson's like, I'm just gonna

(01:18:46):
start eating random ship whatever. Maybe this will get me high.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
M This guy is just worried about money. It's the
only thing he's worried about.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Yeah, good, live a beer. Well these other dead.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
People's I love that. He's literally like, but we're gonna
make everything worse. Yeah, but you're gonna get to go
live in a nicer part. Oh well, then I'm not
bothered by it anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:19:37):
It's just we already got the money from those assholes,
so we're gonna get money from new assholes.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
If we paid you fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
A year, seventy million dollars worth of houses in nineteen
eighty two is a lot of houses.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Becky born September third, nineteen.

Speaker 4 (01:20:10):
Oh three, got old, Becky.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Look at that Matt painting.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
That's really nice, right.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
I think that's why everybody thinks that their house is
built on a Native American burial ground. It's like the
uh like because he makes that one comment. Yeah, I've
had correct people, and then I feel like a giant
nerd afterwards, I'm like, push my glass. I'm like, well,
actually they're not buried. They're not built on a Native

(01:20:51):
American burier ground. It's just a regular cemetery.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Which, by the way, Nicholas Cage did this so he
could build his pyramid great pyramid tomb down in New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
He moves his bodies, did.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
He Yeah, he paid a family off to have their
relatives move to a different location so you can have
specific location. He wanted giant white pyramid tomb that he has.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
What a fucking weird thing to do. To care what
they do with your body after you're dead, right, why
would you care?

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
I mean I would care if they did something interesting
with it. I mean, strap me to a rocket and
like shoot me into space.

Speaker 4 (01:21:41):
That's pretty cool, just you know, if.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
You like, if they were like, Okay, we're gonna have
you stuffed and we're gonna put you on the front porch.
And then every season will put like a different thing
on you, like a pumpkinhead and Halloween drish up as
an elf for Christmas that is.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
And Gina is here.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Like a little Why does she have such psychic powers?
Probably because she's half of you walk.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
I just think it's funny. The only other thing she's
really known for is she's the organist in the wedding
scene in sixteen Candles.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
She's also in Poltergeys two and three. Yeah, so it's
your problem. That's a good career.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
I have no problem.

Speaker 3 (01:22:27):
And she had that hit song yub Nubs.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
We got a lot of stand in work for fat children.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
She wasn't behind the mask the rise Leslie Vernon.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Now yeah, oh yeah, she says a couple of like
a couple like I can't think of him off the
top of my head. But she had some like parody
movies where she showed up playing a similar character. I think.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
She was in that weird ass movie Noah that we
saw at the St. Louis people getting shot in the
movie theater.

Speaker 4 (01:23:10):
No Yeah, that was that was something the hell is
the name of that? That was fucking weird. Anguish.

Speaker 9 (01:23:18):
Yeah, that's not reassuring.

Speaker 4 (01:23:34):
I always forget too.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
The way she talks in this movie, it reminds me
of the Sphinx from Mystery Men, Like she just repeats
things back to them all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
We think it's the heart of the house. The house
has many hats. Oh so wise, I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Crank T. Nelson's like, well, we saw a tree try
to eat my son. My daughter got sucked into a TV.
But this lady is psychic that that's bullshit.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
It is funny. It's like they're still questioning anything at
this point.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:12):
I mean, like the second a tree tries to eat
your son in front of you, like all that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Pretty much everything's on the table at that point.

Speaker 4 (01:24:24):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:24:24):
I am.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
I am an extremely skeptical person and I try to
do that. As a matter of fact, I see a
tree try to eat a member of my family, I'm
freaking the fuck out. Man, Like I am converted. I
believe in God like.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
By location, so that when the portal opened and the
ship fellow, So what that is, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
I was trying to how to be like man. Terminology
for gay people has really changed in a long time,
But I couldn't come up with a I couldn't come
up with a good.

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
One stop with bread?

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
Why does everybody whisper this movie?

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
Do you know what she looks like? And that's with
the close up with those big glasses on is the
Kim Jungen puppet from Police?

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
That is upsettingly accurate.

Speaker 4 (01:25:32):
Roni, I am so rony.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
She's about the same size as a puppet too.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
Coach is still having a hard time with this. This
is bullshit. Why am I even doing this? She's in
the further.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
She is a living presence, and they're like, well, this
is nice.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
She does kind of sound like that gay guy Bruce
in the Family Guy.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
Oh no, Caroline.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
I find her calmness upsetting, like you're supposed to be
freaking out in these circumstances, and I don't know why
you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
My daughter is sucking the goddamn TV. Some urgency.

Speaker 4 (01:26:39):
Please listen to me. I need to do this dramatically.
I need to whisper and speak slowly.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
Grankian Nelson looks like he's falling asleep. He's poor shitless
of the sea. Get to the part where we go
break the TV open and get my kid out, will you?

(01:27:19):
It's really something for making fun of her because she's
given like a great performance and we're just like teasing
her and calling her Kim jongman.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
I mean, this is a commentary for a horror podcast.
You gonna do something? Is it racist? And I feel
like the black guy in the back is about to
start break dancing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
Yeah, it's the position he's kneeling in with that like
hand on his knee. It looks like he's waiting for
like that hit the point in the song where you
can just drop into it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
That's good, but also I'm racist. Yeah, I just feel
like he's gonna he's gonna lay down and start spinning.
And at your point, yeah, this is a crossover with
breaking We just didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
I see sitting down now, so you won't be thrown
off like that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
So on the other side, it's mostly normal people that
are just dead and sad that they're dead. But there
is one guy who's just a just a really staunch
Trump supporter. Caroland's stuck in there with him, and he's
just he's just a talking to her and just a

(01:28:33):
sucking the life out of her body.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Talking about all the stuff he loves about him. He
says it like it is. He does what he says,
he's gonna do okay, drop it, and Gina, what are
we gonna fucking do? We got it, She's she's on

(01:28:58):
the other side. Now, what are we doing.

Speaker 4 (01:29:01):
Now that I've talked all this spiritual talk, what we're
gonna do is we're gonna tie a bungee cord one.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Of you.

Speaker 4 (01:29:09):
Throw you into the closet like a big fucking fishing line.
But spiritually, here's your fucking rope.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
He still doesn't kids on board. No, he's like he's
playing along to appease his wife, who took the time
to get dressed up for this occasion. Hm.

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
Maybe if you crack the door up and know that
goes taking a ship, it's gonna get angry.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
What is the black guy looking at.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
It does seem like he's looking in a weird direction.

Speaker 4 (01:30:33):
It's like, Caroline, Oh, Caroline, I will hit you like
I did on your birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
You kidding me? As soon as my mom got me
out of the spirit world, she would have beat my
ass for getting there in the first place.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
M hm hm hm.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
That's going to light.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
Mammy.

Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
There's this just like a strobe, this techno music playing.

Speaker 6 (01:31:25):
M hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
Explain all of that mhm, I hate you, you dumb bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
Why like, why is she so mad at her.

Speaker 6 (01:31:55):
Now call her names?

Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
Well, it's because the other lady told her like the
light it's like bad or whatever, And now she's telling
her to run into the light.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
If that other lady didn't get her kid back.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
Teller to deck. We're gonna throw tennis.

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
Boss the first time in the room. Yep, disco closet.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Those feel like the kind of light they would just
put in your high school gym so and then call
it a dance. That guy's been in the background the
whole time, just so we could be sent away.

Speaker 6 (01:32:55):
I'm really just glad I could be here.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
When I'm the other guy, the nerd jack.

Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:33:04):
So this movie does the thing occasionally where there's characters
who are just like not needed, so they're just gone
for a while. I guess it's his day off or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Oh shit, don't smell it. Come on, Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
It's it's covered in sauce.

Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
Is this you were making earlier in the movie?

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
What this sauce feels? He was on the stove for
too long?

Speaker 6 (01:33:45):
Poopy, I'm gonna throw you through this door. It's gonna
be funny.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
I was gonna say, is this a weird like dwarf
tossing scene where her mom just picks her up and
chucks her through.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
She was flying down lands on that kuin in the
living room.

Speaker 1 (01:34:24):
M make up your mind, people, This child is so confused.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
You guys remember at the beginning of the movie when
her bird died and they thought that counted as a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:34:41):
Oh, the quaint problems we used to worry about.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
It seems like it's a good plan. It should work.

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
The rope. That rope is also covered in sauce.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
That was actually a really cool shot of the top
of the rope being like just ending the middle of
the ceiling. Kind of like, this is a really well
made movie. Actually, it turns it is very well man.

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
There are some some resistance in more sauce. This is
is this going through meat?

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
It turns out I just went right through the kid.

Speaker 1 (01:35:23):
He just gives her like a hard yank and craik teine.
The Wholston goes flying into the portal.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
It's so gross.

Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
I liked it. It took her like half a second
to be talked out of it.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
Eh, huh, solid point.

Speaker 2 (01:35:59):
You think the smart thing to do would be to
have a rope that's long enough to tire in the middle,
so you can still pull her back both ways, just
in case. It's really weird that they stop smoking pot
when all this started in just like I need a
little more of that. Actually, do you think that this

(01:36:21):
is there?

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
They just had a bad reaction and they're just still.

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
So to the ends with them just waking up, just
movie defensive them waking up and going to White Castle,
like okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
Run under Neil Patrick Harris for some reason, see Doug,
he did tire in the middle, did he?

Speaker 2 (01:36:59):
Oh? All right?

Speaker 1 (01:37:04):
In the apology, ta it around her neck.

Speaker 10 (01:37:08):
There's better grip. It won't step off when you go
through the portal. You're gonna feel meat.

Speaker 4 (01:37:19):
Just worry about that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:30):
Oh now, Tangina's shuts up. I see how it goes well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
It seems like you can just keep trying over and
over again, as long as you can keep passing that
rope through to the living room. It is funny that
if you just put a hole in the floor, it
would have the same effect as this magic portal.

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
He's like, what is this? This is late doing sudden
He'll turn telling everybody to go in the light.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
Greg T. Nailson is frustrated by the inconsistency.

Speaker 1 (01:38:12):
I do like this monster we're about to see. Look
how fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
Cool that is. It does kind of look like Penis
Freddy mixed with a skull.

Speaker 1 (01:38:25):
He let go of the rope though, which he said
he wasn't gonna do. Fucking liar.

Speaker 4 (01:38:29):
Oh oh god, why didn't you tell me that there
was meaty sauce some gross.

Speaker 1 (01:38:45):
He's just like, man, I don't get it. Paid enough
for this bullshit?

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
How when the white guy got to go home and
the black guys stay here and carry this meat covered chick.

Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
He tried to wipe it off of Greg T. Nelson's arm,
Like that's fair.

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
Why are they in water just to wash all that
shit off? Turn the shower on.

Speaker 4 (01:39:08):
Then you got to get that that ectoplasm off of
the right.

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
It does remind me of like the real Ghostbusters slime
that came with the action figures in the eighties. Of course,
got stuck on the carpet and your mom got really
pissed off. That may have just been me, though, No,
that's accurate.

Speaker 2 (01:39:27):
No, I I the slime that I got stuck in
the carpet came with one of Skeletor's castles. Me man
so fair Enough.

Speaker 4 (01:39:38):
Also came with h crang from a Ninja Turtles to
fill up his belly hole.

Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
There's lots of toys that came with slime in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:39:51):
Oh my god. One year, for like Easter or something,
one of the kids got something in the easter basket
the head slime in it. My mom through the biggest
fit and she's like, you are not opening that while
you are here, I.

Speaker 4 (01:40:05):
Will, I will end you.

Speaker 1 (01:40:10):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
She's posing for the fucking camera guys to get down
on one knee to film her.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
It's rude.

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
These guys are like, yeah, and now we are the
fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:40:24):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
Like she's trying to label the box and they're like,
we are not waiting, we are going now.

Speaker 4 (01:40:30):
The fuck out, lady, do you remember that your house
is full of devils? Like this is just a thing.
We're getting the hell out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:40:40):
This is I would say this is another sign of
how rich they are, though. Did you realize they paid
for the van to bring them all to moving boxes.
They didn't just randomly go to grocery stores and ask
for old boxes. The actual purchased boxes.

Speaker 1 (01:40:52):
Eh, who buys a cardboard box? Fucking rich people.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
That's well, especially from the moving company. It's the most
expensive boxes there are.

Speaker 4 (01:41:03):
Oh no, there's these bougie people in their heavy, bougie furniture.

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:41:09):
The older daughter's like, fuck you, guys, I'm going to
hang out with my friends while you pack.

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
They both feel right though. It's pretty true to being
a teenager. Dad is just trying to get everything loaded
as quickly as possible. Daughters like, I don't I don't
want to be here. I'm just gonna go.

Speaker 1 (01:41:26):
All these fucking books in this box. Well, don't be
because there's two more movies in the franchise. Yeah, I know,
you guys are only around for one of them. Though,

(01:41:48):
Oh what a day, guys like, yeah, bitch, I got
to go pick up the piano and roll it in
here in a second. It's a great day for me.

Speaker 4 (01:42:03):
Did you guys? Did you guys see all their fucking books?
They're all hardbacks, motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
No, nobody should be still hanging out inside that house.

Speaker 2 (01:42:20):
No, no, no, no no. The kids can sleep, and
you put them in the car and let him sleep
on the other side of the street until I get home.

Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
I never did watch like the Waynes movie A Haunted House,
but I always appreciated that scene in the trailer where
like one small thing happens and then it just cuts
to Marlon Wayne's pulling the back down on a U
all and be like, Nope, we're out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
I don't even think I've seen the trailer for that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:42:49):
Yeah, it's like one mildy, scary thing happens and he's
just like, already got the house packed up, and he's like, nope,
we're gone. I don't I don't know what causes them
mistay for the movie, but.

Speaker 4 (01:43:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
I think I just seen that shag carpeting would chase
me out of there. It is weird that they're packed
up and ready to go, but there's still like stuff
on the tables and pictures hanging.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
On the wall, and yeah, none of this bathroom is
packed up. Yeah, he's gonna cranky. Nels has got to
come home and be like, man, what did you guys
even do while I was gone?

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
You see how quickly I carried those boxes out earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:43:28):
Turn on the suspiria light for the bathtub.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
Apparently, what's what's more horrible shag carpet or that terrible
berber carpet that like wears out very very quickly and
gets snagged and fucked up.

Speaker 1 (01:43:41):
You know what I'm talking.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
Yeah, because Shag's ugly berber is just impractical in every way.

Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
Yeah, yeah, Like they're not moving out this day. There's
that they have so much stuff they need to moving bands.

Speaker 1 (01:43:58):
To move apparently. Ooh that's Han Solo's blaster, but yeah,
worth a lot of money nowadays.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
I don't even remember seeing one of those when as
a kid, like all the other toys I like remember
playing with.

Speaker 1 (01:44:13):
He's like, fuck this doll.

Speaker 2 (01:44:19):
But the fact that she's going to take a bath
in this house at this point, it seems irresponsible to me.

Speaker 1 (01:44:25):
The fact there's carpeting in the bathroom is a crime
of humanity in itself.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
I had an apartment once. The head carpet in the
bathroom and remember somebody just being like it is that
eventually gonna smell? And I was like yeah, and they're
like what are you doing? I'm like, well move I
read this apartment. It was just like the apartment. They
do a really good job here. If this is your
first time watching the movie.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
And making it feel like it is a happy ending,
fuck you clown.

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
I remember the first time coming back to this as
an adult and being like confused as to why certain
things hadn't happened yet because I thought the movie was over.

Speaker 1 (01:45:11):
You're like, obviously they're good. They packed up, they're moving.
She's chewing on an action figure that's probably worth like
ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:45:18):
Today, I was gonna say, that's a that is that
is worth a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (01:45:26):
Well, it's eighty too, so it's probably the like the
re release of Luke from My Empire came out, so
it's not worth as much as the original, but true,
that fair. I wonder if it's one of the ones
that had the lightsaber in the arm and you push
the thing up and the l it looks like he's
holding the lightsaber and then you just put it back down.
Do you guys remember that? Oh yeah, I had a

(01:45:46):
Luke and Evader that had that, and an obi Wan.
Maybe I think obi Wan had it too.

Speaker 4 (01:45:59):
Her knees must be cold because of the like framing
in this shot right here, she looks like she has
a freaky loung et neck. Well, it also.

Speaker 2 (01:46:10):
Seems like there's not enough water in the tub. Doesn't
seem like there's not enough water in the tub to you.

Speaker 1 (01:46:14):
Guys, Yeah, I feel like there was no actual water.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
She was just sitting in the tub, like, we still
need you to be naked, but we're not gonna put
an you water in this tub for the shot.

Speaker 1 (01:46:24):
Yeah, oh fuck you disappearing clown.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
Look on his face like, oh fuck, Like it was
bad enough when I knew where it was.

Speaker 4 (01:46:33):
No, what say you can't? That is the correct and
appropriate of just huh no, no, fuck Like.

Speaker 1 (01:46:45):
I'd rather be eaten by a tree again than deal
with this clown bullshit. Don't do that.

Speaker 4 (01:46:50):
Don't lift that up?

Speaker 5 (01:46:52):
Yeah, don't fuck you, clown tall thessalting child.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
That. That feels very rapey the way that clown pulls that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:11):
What's the goal? Is the clown just gonna choke him
under the bed?

Speaker 4 (01:47:15):
I think that's the plan.

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
Yeah, take him onto the bed, choke him to death.
That's the goal.

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
This is the raping ghost part, which it's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:28):
Yeah, fuck you clown.

Speaker 2 (01:47:31):
Oh and yeah, eh, I mean I'm not condoning ghost rape,
but you know, ghosts are evil. They do evil things
such as.

Speaker 1 (01:47:48):
I like this, she keeps trying to adjust her shirt
while she's rolling across seally, No, we have.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
To keep it PG.

Speaker 1 (01:47:55):
Thirty, Fuck you clown.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
Apparently during the I read that during the clown scene,
the kid was really choking and like Spielberg and Toby
Hooper were like they thought he was ad living when
he was saying I can't breathe. I can't breathe. So
they were just like say to the camera, say to
the camera, and he's like, no, I really can't breathe.

Speaker 1 (01:48:20):
I like that. He's like fuck you and pulling this
stuffing out at this piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
I don't blame him.

Speaker 1 (01:48:26):
Ah, here's the oh acto, the ectoplasm coming out of
the door.

Speaker 2 (01:48:29):
Yeah, that's super gross. The little girl, because remember she's
they were saying, she doesn't remember anything, so this is
all new to her.

Speaker 6 (01:48:37):
She's like, what the fuck.

Speaker 5 (01:48:43):
Zoo?

Speaker 4 (01:48:45):
I guess like the key maste.

Speaker 2 (01:48:53):
So do we think that that ghosts managed to rape
her really quickly or that it just gave up and
went after the kids and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
I think it just gave up. I pulled her shirt up.
That was funny enough. Now on too trying to get
these kids. Yeah, sending the weird, weird long legged skeleton
Jesus like that. She just sits there with her mouth open,

(01:49:26):
like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:49:27):
What to do. I mean, I think a very reasonable reaction,
to be fair, Mom is just like like panicking, which
I guess is a reasonable reaction as well.

Speaker 1 (01:49:53):
Oh, here's it. If the miss Skeletons just remember she
pretty get real ones. That's why the studio skimped out.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
Well, the real ones you just call the Skullton farm
in India and they ship them over. We all know that. Yeah,
Coffin just rises.

Speaker 1 (01:50:13):
Oh, such a good shot.

Speaker 2 (01:50:14):
That's so awesome. It's pretty disrespectful to whoever that is
that they've just gotten. I hope the family members got
a payday out of it or something, if they're gonna
use their body in this movie.

Speaker 4 (01:50:26):
But that definitely did not happen.

Speaker 2 (01:50:31):
No, there's no chance.

Speaker 1 (01:50:36):
It's a pretty solid foundation for your swimming pool. You
got there.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
Well, they haven't built the foundation yet, luckily for you.

Speaker 4 (01:50:45):
The dead love a slipping slide as well.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
This is so like like this like little like comment
on capitalism, where like they didn't even mention to him
that there was bodies there when they knew he was
gonna dig a pool.

Speaker 1 (01:51:05):
Oh so gross. Well you realize the real It's like
looking at that shot of them floating is just like
creepy as fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:51:15):
Well apparently they didn't tell her they were using real
skeletons either.

Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
Yeah, I heard that. I heard she like freaked out afterwards.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
She just figured they're fake and.

Speaker 4 (01:51:25):
Oh yeah, that would that would fuck me up. You
can finished shooting, They're like, hey, guess what those were
real corpses.

Speaker 1 (01:51:35):
I like that he their neighbors, just like, I'm not
going to that fucking house he getting.

Speaker 3 (01:51:40):
And the best thing is, you know who told her.
Steven Spielberg told her while wearing that stupid fucking baseball cap.

Speaker 4 (01:51:46):
It's like the biggest asshole in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:51:54):
Oh shit, like this, she.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
Opens the door just immediately gets sucked up in the
air like that.

Speaker 1 (01:52:01):
Yeah, closet throats kind of creepy.

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
Yeah, fucking Sarlac pit.

Speaker 1 (01:52:16):
It's like, I can only save one of you, Caroline,
take my hand.

Speaker 2 (01:52:22):
Listen, if you were gonna save one of those kids,
it wouldn't be that bitchy little boy. Plus, like, if
he goes, you get to keep all his toys.

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
That's true. He's like, oh, come on, mom. He's like, well,
if you weren't such a little bitch, maybe it would
have been a harder choice.

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
Did you guys ever watch the show The League?

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:52:44):
Yeah, well I was gonna say, oh, it reminds me
of it after the clown touched him. I still love him,
but it'll never be the same.

Speaker 1 (01:52:55):
I like that she's trusting on the arm strength of
her son to grab the sister.

Speaker 2 (01:53:00):
Yeah, it's like from the office, Like I said, let
the kids rest and take a bath and I'll come back.
What did you guys do this? Boss is there, like,
this is what you were upset about earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:53:21):
Oh, we can fix that. A buff ran out. Yeah, creepy.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
Why are you guys yelling Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (01:53:40):
He's like, oh no, the body is.

Speaker 2 (01:53:45):
Yeah yeah, uh this this is insane, this scene.

Speaker 1 (01:54:03):
I didn't think anybody would notice. The dog. Dog's like, God,
damn it, Why did they come back?

Speaker 6 (01:54:16):
I just wanted potato chips.

Speaker 1 (01:54:20):
I like that the dog was the first one. He's like, Nope, nope,
there's no way you.

Speaker 2 (01:54:30):
Imagine. Now is not the time to not be able
to find your keys, right and.

Speaker 1 (01:54:34):
Why do you keep your keys in your back pocket?

Speaker 4 (01:54:41):
Now, what they don't tell you is after the end
of the movie, the insurance company refuses to pay out
because they're like, well, it turns out that this was
on a burial ground.

Speaker 2 (01:54:50):
And so we don't cover that body just flew out
at them.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
Honestly, I do believe that is a plot point at
the beginning, that the insurance company is not wanting to
pay because their house disappeared.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
I just wanted to go spend time with my friends.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
She's got a hickey on her neck too. I just noticed. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
I don't think I ever realized that she had the
hickey either.

Speaker 1 (01:55:12):
It's very good five year old blame.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
That's really funny. Well, he has a sports car, so
he's allowed to give.

Speaker 1 (01:55:19):
Her a hickey. Trans Am, baby, get in.

Speaker 2 (01:55:22):
We're running away.

Speaker 1 (01:55:28):
Why is it only I guess down the street there's
a there's fucking fire coming out of the sewer.

Speaker 4 (01:55:34):
But yeah, so that's the fire hydrant again to save money.

Speaker 3 (01:55:41):
It is a literal fire, excuse fire instead of water, so.

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
I like to think it was probably a gas line.
But whatever. This is a really cool shot too. I
guess miniatures is what it must be. But it looks
really cool.

Speaker 1 (01:55:58):
It looks amazing even still like CG. If that was
CG nowadays it looked like shit. That still looks amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
Yeah, it holds up completely. Everything in this movie, like
all the effects in this movie hold up completely without exception,
including the actual human bodies they use. Those props.

Speaker 4 (01:56:18):
They look I mean they look exactly like actual human bods.

Speaker 1 (01:56:25):
Like this guy's like, ah, but I like this job.

Speaker 2 (01:56:29):
It's like, yay, your fuck dude. Remember earlier in the
movie when your biggest problem was you were worried that
your best salesman might quit because he had the flute?

Speaker 1 (01:56:39):
Oh, now, how do I explain the tiki on my neck?

Speaker 2 (01:56:45):
She's probably relieved ash Probably I'm probably gonna get away
with the fact that I missed curfew because of all
this other stuff happening. They probably won't bring it.

Speaker 4 (01:56:50):
Up like we should yell at you. But I can't
be mad.

Speaker 3 (01:56:58):
You're You're ring actually saved you the drama of being
attacked by a closet monster.

Speaker 2 (01:57:04):
So I love that they had to walk into a
hotel looking like that. And because it's the eighties, you
couldn't book online, right, you just had to walk in
and go do you have any rooms available? And probably
the first two places just didn't, so they had to
just keep going and looking. He has so much trouble
finding keys, right, he.

Speaker 1 (01:57:27):
Literally just got out of the car, probably like how
does he not remember where his keys are?

Speaker 2 (01:57:32):
Well, Sonny, that's the room key, Like why do you
even put it in your pocket you're carrying bags.

Speaker 1 (01:57:37):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
It's just a single key on that accessibly large keychain.
That's very inconvenient placement for holiday inn Do Do Do
Do doo? That old holiday and sign's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (01:57:52):
Yeah, yep, you TV. Fuck you never watch a TV
again in my life.

Speaker 4 (01:58:02):
I love the fact that it's raining too.

Speaker 3 (01:58:04):
It's somewhere the manager of that place is like, you
a fucking asshole.

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
They're getting built to that TV for sure. I don't
know how it worked back then because they might not
have even had a credit card when they checked in.

Speaker 1 (01:58:17):
So it's true.

Speaker 2 (01:58:20):
You always this now okay, we're leaving shiit what's the
end of its?

Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
Sign this little book and promise that you'll pay tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
It's like, how about now? It is?

Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
It's always funny to me in these movies because they
like they've taken the time to set up the shot,
and the camera's pulling back so the credits can run
over a holiday in.

Speaker 1 (01:58:47):
I don't know if it's necessary.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
And the whole time Steven Spielberg's over their shoulders being like,
you keep that fucking holiday in signing the fucking frame
the whole time.

Speaker 1 (01:58:59):
We agree, We agreed, we have to. Yeah, that crane
was really in too, Like, yeah, film them like walking
up the walkway and stuff and then backs up and
then out.

Speaker 2 (01:59:12):
It feels like you didn't. You could have probably saved
a bunch of money by just having a guy with
a camera on that and follow them to the room
and not do this giant crane shot at the hotel.

Speaker 1 (01:59:22):
Yeah, it was the eighties. They were just throwing money
at everything.

Speaker 2 (01:59:26):
It's their last last chance to show how bougie this
family is by showing how big the hotel they're staying
in is.

Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
This isn't even a holiday and express.

Speaker 2 (01:59:41):
It probably had one of those parking the pools that's
out in the middle of the parking lot. It just
had a fence around it. You're parking, for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:59:50):
Yeah, what a good movie still holds up really well.

Speaker 2 (01:59:54):
It's honestly, like it's great and other than like the
eighties of it, like the fashion and stuff, there's no
nothing that needs to be corrected about this.

Speaker 1 (02:00:03):
Nope, no notes That's why it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:05):
Was such a mistake to remake it, because no one's
ever going to watch that remake again.

Speaker 1 (02:00:10):
Oh my god, that was so fucking terrible. And I
love Sam rockwell, so I was so disappointed when I
watched it, and I'm just like, this is pure garbage.

Speaker 2 (02:00:21):
I still remember the day that I watched it and
we talked about it on the podcast and I started
like just going like it was just no good and
I don't see any point in it. By the end
of explaining why I didn't like it, I was all
worked up and angry.

Speaker 1 (02:00:33):
Fucking send a drone into the spirit world.

Speaker 2 (02:00:38):
See, that's the problem with remaking a movie like this
is that is the logical thing to do. Now that
we have drones, you would send it through, right, rather
than a rope or a tennis ball. But I don't
want the logical thing. I want the stuff that looks cool.

Speaker 1 (02:00:52):
I don't want to see the spirit world. That's that
defeats the whole point.

Speaker 3 (02:00:56):
Yeah, yeah, I just want to find out at the
end that all that weird meaty goo was weird throat
meat that you were getting deep throated by the spirit
world apparently.

Speaker 1 (02:01:10):
So gruss.

Speaker 2 (02:01:12):
I wish we could yell at Noah for that, but
unfortunately I think he's technically right.

Speaker 4 (02:01:16):
Yeah, try to defeat me. I'm correct.

Speaker 1 (02:01:21):
Fuck you laughing children, get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 2 (02:01:25):
It's oddly creepy, right, it's because there's a whole bunch
of them. That means that, like somewhere, there's all these
other stories where they didn't rescue the kids.

Speaker 1 (02:01:34):
Oh, kids all over America getting pulled into their televisions.

Speaker 4 (02:01:41):
Do you guys remember when credits were that fucking short
on a movie?

Speaker 2 (02:01:44):
Oh geez, yeah, yeah, that was just the if it
was today that time just just barely covers the special
effects people.

Speaker 4 (02:01:53):
Now, yeah, yeah, a Marvel movie, I forget what day
it is.

Speaker 2 (02:02:00):
Like, yeah, well, a Marvel movie, you'd have to show three, four, five,
maybe even six holiday ands in order to cover all
the credits.

Speaker 1 (02:02:08):
And my girlfriend's usually like, oh, I got a piece
so bad. I'm like, go, you'll be back before like
the end credits singer shows up.

Speaker 2 (02:02:16):
I've done that before. Leave the theater to go to
The Watchman and come back in.

Speaker 4 (02:02:21):
God.

Speaker 1 (02:02:23):
Yeah so good. Uh Now I feel kind of bad
that we were making fun of that teenager girl because
then I remember she got murdered after this movie came
out by her boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (02:02:33):
Yeah, but we weren't making fun of the actress. We
were making fun of the character, and the character didn't
get murdered, that's true.

Speaker 1 (02:02:40):
So I did rewatch the second one. I went through
all three of these movies where like within the past
like six months, just because I'm like, I watch them.
In the second one, there's like not even a mention
of her.

Speaker 2 (02:02:53):
No, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (02:02:55):
It is just like act like they never had an
older daughter. Yeah, like even if just oh, it's a
good thing Dane is a college and then that's literally
all you had to do. But nope, nothing, No.

Speaker 2 (02:03:07):
They I mean, I guess I don't know. They used
to do shit like that though in theies. Remember like
when you'd watch a sitcom and there'd just be like
three kids in one season and then like two and
what the next season. You'd be like, I don't know,
didn family matters do? That wasn't there? That just disappeared?

Speaker 1 (02:03:25):
She got in trouble and they told her to go
to her room. Yeah, the last the last thing they
saw her walking upstairs.

Speaker 4 (02:03:30):
To go to her room.

Speaker 1 (02:03:31):
She was never seen again.

Speaker 2 (02:03:32):
Man, there you go.

Speaker 3 (02:03:33):
We just like listen, that girl buried under that house.
And in the eighties you could do that if you
were because the government doesn't step in and tread on
your rights as a parent like they now.

Speaker 2 (02:03:51):
Protect children from abuse like a bunch of pussies.

Speaker 1 (02:03:55):
Remember in Charles in Charge, when the first season it
was a completely different family and then apparently they moved
but the next family moved in and they're like, yeah,
I guess we can have a live in nanny.

Speaker 2 (02:04:06):
This house comes with this guy, And is that a
problem for you guys?

Speaker 4 (02:04:09):
Or what's your name, Charles? I'm just gonna hang out
with all of your kids.

Speaker 1 (02:04:15):
Yeah, okay, how where would that be? They're like, my
name is Charles. I live here in the basement, and
they're just like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:04:23):
All right, I've been here the whole ten Hey.

Speaker 1 (02:04:30):
Uh uh, do you have any fond memories of Part
two or part three?

Speaker 2 (02:04:37):
Uh? Well?

Speaker 3 (02:04:38):
Man, the actor in part two, the guy who plays
the preacher, man is fucking the scariest dog shit yeah, yes.

Speaker 2 (02:04:48):
Is it part two? Don't they bring in like the
native spiritual guy as well?

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
Yeah, and he's killed.

Speaker 2 (02:04:53):
Right. It's been a while, but I remember enjoying it.

Speaker 1 (02:04:56):
It's a chief from one floor with the Cuckar's Nest.

Speaker 4 (02:05:00):
I've still never.

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
Seen Cuckoo's Nest, and uh part three.

Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
I like Part three a lot more than a lot
of people like it. I think it gets a little
unfairly beat up sometimes.

Speaker 2 (02:05:14):
Well, it's the problem with making sequels to a movie
that's this good is people are going to compare it
to this, and it's not fair to do that to movies, right, Like, yeah,
if you compare it to this, of course it's not
as good.

Speaker 4 (02:05:27):
But well, the arguments are rid there, like it's in
a fucking apartment complex, and you're like, who gives a ship?
What the fuck does that have to do with anythings?

Speaker 2 (02:05:38):
It's weird because it is like it is one of
those where people go like, well they set it all
in an apartment complex. Well, this one's all in a house,
which is actually quite a bit smaller than an apartment
complex when you think about it.

Speaker 1 (02:05:47):
So it is bad stuff to like in the third one,
it's God, it's bad parts too, but.

Speaker 2 (02:05:55):
Yeah, it's not as good. But it's like, I think the.

Speaker 4 (02:06:02):
The stuff with the mirrors instead of the TV is
kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
Yeah, it's a nice way to update it and kind
of change it.

Speaker 3 (02:06:12):
And then of course they did ghost Preacher guy, which, again,
because he was so scary in the first movie, they
just like put a fake person and similar clothing and
it was like still scary.

Speaker 2 (02:06:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:06:25):
Yeah, that guy died before the second movie came out,
so yeah, they just put some stunt guy and loaded
his face up with prosthetics.

Speaker 5 (02:06:37):
M hmm.

Speaker 1 (02:06:39):
Yeah, I'm glad I did this one.

Speaker 4 (02:06:40):
This was a good one.

Speaker 2 (02:06:41):
Yeah. No, it's it's a fun movie to watch, but
it still works as a horror film. It's like, I
have no notes on Polder guys, Like, it's basically a
perfect film.

Speaker 4 (02:06:53):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (02:06:56):
Any closing thoughts anybody.

Speaker 2 (02:07:01):
No, I mean, we just talked about this movie for
two solid hours, minus however much time we spent on
Jim Belushi at the beginning of this conversation.

Speaker 3 (02:07:13):
I think maybe the one the one takeaway that maybe
I had forgot that is a brilliant piece of storytelling
is the bird getting Buldo step out of the ground
at the beginning of the movies.

Speaker 2 (02:07:27):
It really is fun little bitish foreshadowing, which.

Speaker 4 (02:07:29):
Is, yeah, it's genius.

Speaker 2 (02:07:31):
Yeah. It's the thing with stuff like that is it's
not so much that I think the actual like foreshadowing
is like really really clever. It kind of is, but whatever,
But it's the fact that when they do stuff like that,
it shows you the effort that they're putting into the storytelling.
And that's something you can see that happen and go, Okay,
these are people who give a shit whether this is

(02:07:52):
a quality movie or not. And I think that's probably
explains why everything else works so well, you know, they
were putting that same level of time and effort and
attention to detail into it.

Speaker 3 (02:08:03):
Well yeah, yeah, that and it's just the I like
the recurring theme of not respecting the dead, because it
starts with mom trying to flush the bird down the
toilet and the girl seeing it and being very upset.
Then they bury it, the desecration of the burial to

(02:08:23):
do it again, and then we find out that they
did the same thing with people and.

Speaker 2 (02:08:27):
Yeah, well, and it's also the fact that, like then,
it's not really made one hundred percent clear in the film.
But the idea is that when they started digging up
the graves to put a pool in is when everything
went to shit. That's when the spirits got really upset, Right,
It was that actual, So it's like it was almost

(02:08:47):
like that physical act of doing that is what caused
all the trouble, even though they weren't necessarily trying to
be disrespectful.

Speaker 4 (02:08:54):
To the dead.

Speaker 3 (02:08:55):
Yeah, although one thing that a slight plot hole in
the movie doesn't make sense is that entire area is
absolutely covered in corpses, and you're not digging out the
foundation of a fucking house with bodies buried six feet
below that and not digging up a whole lot of corpses.

Speaker 2 (02:09:18):
They did not have basements, because when they were up
on the hill looking down, you could see the foundations
of the new houses being built, and they don't have basements,
which is pretty common in California. I think I don't
know why, but I think you've heard that, So I
don't know how far down you dig if you're not
putting in a basement.

Speaker 1 (02:09:37):
Yeah, seems like there'd be some plumbing and stuff. They'd
have to dig pretty far down.

Speaker 2 (02:09:42):
Though, But yeah, it's just like, why, why do all
our notes say, make sure all the plumbing only goes
five and a half.

Speaker 1 (02:09:54):
Yeah, that's good. Well, we hope you had a good Halloween.
I hope you had a good time sitting and watch
some Poulter guys with us.

Speaker 2 (02:10:02):
Yeah. I imagine most people are listening to this like
midway through the first week in November, while they're at
work or driving or something.

Speaker 1 (02:10:10):
Just listen to us cackle about uh fucking weird ship
on the screen that throw and everyhere else.

Speaker 2 (02:10:20):
All our particularly perverted listeners. We're trying to picture what
the daughter looks like when we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (02:10:24):
Being forresseds schoolgirl uniform.

Speaker 2 (02:10:31):
She's the longest kilt in history.

Speaker 1 (02:10:33):
Though it's true, it goes goes down to like midshin.

Speaker 2 (02:10:37):
Really important to note that she was not sexualized in
any way. And then most guys are still like whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:10:43):
Yeah, and then yeah again, the mom is just like, oh, construction, and.

Speaker 2 (02:10:50):
The mom still wears short shorts around them for the
rest of the day, so she's a little jealous ever step.

Speaker 3 (02:10:57):
Daughter getting her I was gonna say, it's eighties, so
they're portraying her as fishing for compliments.

Speaker 2 (02:11:05):
God, it's that's like the only part of the movie
that is like really like where you're like, that's awkwardly
eighties and I don't appreciate it is the fact that
those like gross old construction workers are I don't know what.
The two things that grosses me out are both of them.
It's the hitting on the young girl and then the
stealing food right from the window.

Speaker 1 (02:11:26):
Sealing food, using the spoon to taste the sauce, and
then just dumping it back like the back into the
the pot. Yeah, it's you're not even part of this family.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
You're some weird.

Speaker 10 (02:11:38):
I'm just adding a little hepsy to the brew because
if like the kid did that, you'd be like, Okay,
kids do that kind of thing and it's not that
big a deal.

Speaker 2 (02:11:46):
But the gross and he's just like dirty as he's
doing it too.

Speaker 1 (02:11:54):
Oh the stuff we focus on.

Speaker 4 (02:11:56):
Notice your husband went to work.

Speaker 2 (02:11:58):
I take it back Nowtally, don't think that it was
digging out of the pool, digging up the graves is
what caused the Poulter guys to get upset. I think
it was dudes. It was an Italian Poulter guys, so
they got really upset when he dropped his dirt into
the pasta sauce.

Speaker 1 (02:12:14):
Oh disrespect my sauce.

Speaker 2 (02:12:18):
Yeah. Less the tomatoes cooked all days so they stew properly,
and you got to ruin it.

Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
I just the funny thing is now all I can
imagine is the scene where they see the orbs. Instead
they like, watch the video and it's slightly different. They're like, Oh, look,
it's an Italian ghost. You can tell because it's using
its hands.

Speaker 1 (02:12:39):
There's lots of tracksuits and gold chains.

Speaker 2 (02:12:42):
Even the fucking tree had hands in this movie. When
you think about it.

Speaker 1 (02:12:46):
It's all the jewelry that came out of the portal earlier.
It's just all Italian gold chains. Just see, that's a
movie on want to see. Just it's Italian ghost, like
getting mad the whole time. Oh girl, why are you

(02:13:07):
in this room? Get out of here?

Speaker 4 (02:13:10):
See you could make a way better spoof than the
Wayn's Brothers spoofs
