(01:33):
in studio with me here Tonight's I don't do this alone,
of course, and I have for the first time, and
it feels like quite a while, the whole gang here tonight. Matthew, Andrew, Catherine, Lady, gentlemen,
good evening. Hello, what a how are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's been about two months then, since.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
When's the last time that we were now together?

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah? And the other one was what like September?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, so it's been so since September that we were together.
I know it's been a little bit of an adjustment
schedule wise and everything, but that's crazy. It's feeling it
feels like it's been longer than that. And of course,
as we discussed already, there was the episode that will
never be heard by anybody because there was some sort
of fucking bullshit technical error that deleted the recording that
was the Halloween TV. Halloween TV draft that was a

(02:23):
lot fun so total.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
And it's still perfect my voodoo.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, Andrew ye.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Microphone are just sitting there snotting everywhere, just stabbing them
all the time.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Uh, what's going on, guys. We're doing something a little
bit different here tonight. Normally we uh, well normally we
normally normally we sit around uh a long bar style
table that actually really isn't even that long in our basement. Yeah,
it's like four four feet.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's about as long as this table.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, yeah, very cramped for four people, a laptop, a microphone,
drinks big leg big yeah, big as we're always rubbing
serious each other. Yeah, but we uh, we're now sitting
around the coffee table down here, which is much more
spacious and luxurious. It's like, it's like if we had

(03:19):
a video camera in here, people would think we were
like a legit actual podcast where everyone sits back and
crosses their legs and has like a conversation with a
microphone in their hand.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yes, it's very cool. I like it. I'm enjoying this
much better. Yeah, this is sick. Yeah this is nice.
This is definitely a lot more laid back. Yeah, it
feels less normal.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
We're not like cramped on top. Like I don't have
to ask cat to move just to get out.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I'm still going to be well at least. Hey, now,
if somebody gets up to get a drink, you have
to travel a little bit farther, but you're not falling
over somebody to go get a drink and you can't
hear their fridge and you know all that. So, hey,
little things. It's the little things in life, right, guys, close, Yes,
so that that is the Also the thing here is
I'm gonna have to We're gonna have to see if

(04:04):
Daddy's gonna keep TV privileges for everybody here kat Andrew
can pay attention to and stay focused on the podcast
instead of just watching the football game that's on right now.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Keep my focus. I'm also with the NFL.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I'm not facing the TV, which.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
I lost today. I'm winning all my fantasy leagues and this,
this is the game is just.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Gravy, just gravy. Well, guys, this will be our our
our official November episode, and then that means that we
only have one more episode left in twenty twenty six.
December means yeah, December, Top ten next month in December,
so Top ten movies, Top ten Horror Movies of twenty
twenty five. In December will also be our our officially

(04:44):
six years of doing this podcast, which is insane. I
was thinking about that the other day. Not that I've
been on for the whole six You've been at least
half though, right three three, So three years. I was
still living in northumb by Fish when I came on,
So yeah, I might might be close to four. Wow. Yeah,
that's that's crazy. Six years four with Matt lots of memories.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
We'll have to go to Tea in December then, to
celebrate the idea of the podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I am.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I am amazed that we all were able to go
to Red Tea that time and record a podcast and
function a functional podcast. It was actually pretty good after
we did. I think you met us there. Yeah. I
think it was the one time that the four of
us have gone together that was pre bridget. I think
somebody babysit.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I think we had a baby. I think maybe Christine.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Oh you know what, maybe that's what it was, Christine.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Well yeah, so top ten horror Movies of the year
in December, which will be our last episode of the year,
and then we'll hit the ground running in twenty twenty six,
which is wild. So why I have seven weeks left
of the year.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
God, that's scary. Where the fuck did this year go?
Just another year to just continue a successful climb. There
you go, climb up the.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Mountain towards death.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yeah, and then march towards the towards the towards the
great beat.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Seven years and the holidays will be over.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, seven seven weeks week? What cool?

Speaker 7 (06:09):
People have been doing this podcast for like one seventh
of my life and basically.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Wow, well when you put it like that, you think
you think it sound like a prison sentence.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
For seven Well seven times six is forty two. I'll
be forty.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
So it's almost oh this year yeah, oh shit, we
gotta do something big body.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah yeah, I entered the Big four. Oh so the
last year of my too. Yeah. I just turned thirty
nine in October.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yeah, yeah, you're thirty. Yeah, I'm the senior citizen of
the group.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, and maybe like and I like, I forget it sometimes,
Matt that you're not like so much younger, but a
good chunk younger than we are. When we were talking
about Drass, Andrew and I seen Jurassic Park theaters, Yeah
that's right, I was like, God damn. Yeah. I was
like seven years old when I saw that. Wasn't even
born yet, which is fucking insane.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Because that came out in ninety three three Yeah, yeah,
I just turned thirty one.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
It quite a theater going experience.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I wasn't allowed to see Drassic Titanic instead.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
I used to watch Jurassic Park when I was four.
Well that's fird. Titanic came out in like ninety seven,
but my mom.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Went to see it with me because she said it
was like historically. I could watch it because it was
a historic film versus and huge Jurassic Park in the
next theater, like raw.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's just the part when the part that used to
freak me out was when Newman gets fucking oh yeah yeah,
and I love There's a great I'd probably have talked
about this before, but there's a great YouTube adit where
he gets smoked and it cuts to the jeep like
rocking and it's like.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Beat Seinfeld music. That's awesome. It's very funny. Well, have
you ever read Jurassic Park? No, okay, so Michael Mike Crichton, Yeah,
the book. The book is awesome, and the book is
a Michael the Cretan. The book is pretty scary at points,
and the the Dennis dead redeath is very graphic and

(07:58):
very horrific. And the dinosaurs much different. It's like a giant,
it's a lot of saurus is way bigger and like
rip rippen. Yeah. Yeah, it's like they and rips open
his stomach and like pulls out his intestines while he's alive,
and all kinds of stuff. So it's like it's not
a very detail, No, it's it's actually it flies by.
It's really good. It's way different than the movie. It
definitely got Spielberg afide. If you're going to talk about

(08:22):
the books you've read this month, I actually am Yeah.
That was actually is a very very nice seguey there, Matt.
So we should probably talk about the things that have
peaked interest, which I have a couple of things I
can lead off. Yeah, hopeful if you guys want. Yeah,
So I was gonna say I have a couple of
backup things if we need them. But so I've been
I've been trying to trying to read a lot of

(08:43):
horror books this year, and I think I'm on book
number twelve. I was shooting for fifteen or so. So
good Reads that app it sets it. You can set
a challenge for the year, and the challenge is fifteen books.
And I have sucked to actual books. I wasn't counting.
I haven't been counting audiobooks that I've been listening to.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
So I did.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
I have two books well, one that I just finished,
another one that I'm reading right now, And I texted
Matt after I finished the first one because it legit
creeped me out. It was one of the creepier books
that I've read in a long time. This book is
called pen Pal, and it's written by a guy named Dathan.
Dathan not Nathan with an end, Dathan with a D.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Hour back is he just like a day walker?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Apparently day walker or something, but it's Daithan with a D,
not Nathan. So pen Pal. Yeah, weird, but I guess so.
I I found out about this book from TikTok. Like
my algorithm keeps popping up people recommending spooky books, which
I like, and it has helped me come across some
stuff that I've put on my reading list. But Penpal

(09:43):
was one of those books that people kept saying, it's
really creepy, it's really short, you can fly through it quick,
and I can confirm it's all of those things. It's
like two hundred and fifty pages beautiful. I'll let you
borrow it if you want, Matt, You'll you'll fly through it.
But basically the gist of this book is it started
out as a story in the no Sleep reddit for him,
and this guy started writing these chapters of this book

(10:04):
and they're all compiled into one story in this actual book.
And the premises it follows an unnamed narrator starting in
kindergarten and they basically do a project where they have
a bunch of balloons. Everyone in the classroom has a
balloon and they tie a letter to it with you know,

(10:24):
the kid's name and the address of the school, along
with like a dollar for postage. And the idea is
they want it to land somewhere. Someone finds it and
it starts up a pen pal relationship, which is a yeah,
it seems like a pre horrifying thing to do. It
never happened now, But this this definitely takes place like
in the nineties. Like a lot of the stuff, the

(10:45):
way it's written, the way it's described, I can relate
a lot to like my childhood, Like this kid, this
kid in the book is a latch key kid, like
he's home alone by himself after school, that type of thing.
So it's definitely in that like nineties, late eighties timeframe.
So all these kids send off these balloons. A lot
of the kids get letters back from well intentioned people,
and the narrator just gets starts getting these polaroid photographs back.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh so craepy.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
And he can't quite make out what is in each
of the photographs, but he just gets them relentlessly, over
and over and over again. This book came out in
like twenty seventeen, I want to say, the kids in kindergartens,
So basically that is that's the inciting incident, that's the

(11:31):
incident that starts out the whole book. This book, by
the way, came out in twenty twelve, so it's actually
even wor than that. And the rest of the book
follows the narrator throughout his life as this pen pal
quote unquote.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
The little boy.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah. So basically it follows him from kindergarten until he's
second at the end of high school, and these weird
events that happened to him all related to this pen pal,
and it follows him and one of his friends. And
it's so fucking creepy. I don't want to say any
more about it because especially if it's it's an awesome

(12:05):
premise and it's very creepy throreaut But there was one
chapter like I was trying to bang out. Is it's
in six parts, and I was trying to bang out,
like every time I sat down to read it, I
was trying to bang out one whole section. And there
was one chapter that I read that I put it down.
I was like, legit actually creeped out, which does not
happen to me very frequently. So I can't recommend penpal

(12:27):
highly in that sound.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Isn't that that?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
So that's the thing.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
So, because I know Andrew, you don't really get into
the books and stuff, even if you do audiobooks. The
thing with books with horror is that there's no fucking rules.
There's no MPAA there's no regulation of what you can
and can't write about. Yeah, it's it's like you can

(12:51):
you get into like some of like the splatterpunk type shit,
which is like a subgenre of horror that's like super
super over the top, extreme violent, like there's no rules.
It's so the thing with horror books is that like
you you can get some fucked up ship.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, that sounds like.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Aaron Brogard type stuff like the I remember you telling
me about the flock that guy, that guy's out of
his mind.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah. Yeah, And I think Andrew this is a book
it's that you could actually that you might like because
it's short, sweet, and it's also like the way it's told,
it's it's very dream like. So it's it's it's right
up your alley, and do you have this physical No,
I physically have the book. It's yeah. And again it's
called Penpal by daifan Auerback And yeah, just especially because

(13:39):
I know that you you've you've you've been on the
no Sleep, I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (13:41):
Kind of like, because I'm getting kind of bored with
just watching movies and TV. Sh Like, there's really not
that much good stuff out time, and I just picked
something that I probably already watched her that I don't
need to watch.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'm not supposed to read a book about terrible Ship.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, yeah, you do. You have to have a lot.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
No, not really, Okay, I just fucking read a book. Yeah,
I'll just read a book.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, read a book, buddy, or play fortnite or play
fortnite Fortnite. It's been a lot of fun video system
so I can't do that. And one more plug for
a book that I'm currently reading. It's called Screaming and
Conjuring by Clark Collis, and this basically, Matt you would
you would love this one. Screaming and Conjuring The Resurrection
and unstoppable Rise of the modern horror movie. This is

(14:27):
about a cat. Actually got this for my birthday and
it's a hard it's only a hardcover right now, but
it's like five hundred pages and it is basically start
it's the history of modern horror, starting with the first
Scream movie all the way. It's basically using Scream in
the first Conjuring movie as bookends for the boom and
horror that happened between nineteen ninety six and like twenty fifteen,

(14:47):
So it's almost it's it's like a very good resource
for like and it's a lot of interviews from pretty
famous people. It is pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
It is cool because we are living kind of like
I obviously didn't live through the eighties.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
You guys kind of.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Really didn't, you know, help them, so because the eighties
was obviously like we have three borderline four hour documentaries
about eighties horror movies with the In Search of Darkness films,
which again, if you guys haven't watched them, please do.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's a good like I'm I don't feel good day.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
I love them and you can you can just it's
just like especially where they because do you like the Bravos?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Oh yeahst So it's just that for fucking.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. So those those are
so fantastic. I actually have the second half of the
nineties one probably coming in the middle.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
I forgot, I forgot they just did the nineties two.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
So yeah, part two is I should be getting at
my mailbox and nice, nice, but the we're we're kind
of like in now We're spoiled, where we have.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Almost too much horror.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Again, like it's like it is because the nineties was
like there's not a lot.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, early two thousands really gets going again.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
I won't talk too much about this because we've talked
about it a bunch, but like we.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Are in another horror renaissance. It's fantastic for sure. And
that's actually like the first couple chapters of this book
actually talk about. It's pretty much. The first chapter is
all about Wes Craven and the Scream premiere and how
they didn't really think it was going to be that
good and all of a sudden, it just you know,
the internet wasn't really a huge thing in ninety six,
so they couldn't keep checking the box office like you
can't nowadays, like you know, by the day, and basically,

(16:26):
week after week after week, Scream just kept gaining steam
and it turned into this huge movie and essentially revived
the horror genre, revived Wes Craven's career, and you know,
gave a lot of horror directors that admittedly self admittedly
we're having a hard time finding work, a lot more
opportunities to get work. And you know, it's an interesting
premise and it's a really good book. So you should
definitely check that one out technitely. Yeah, So Penpal by

(16:50):
Dayton Houerback and Screaming and Conjuring by Clark Collis or
my two recommendations where my interest was peaked. Matthew, would
you like to go next to? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
I would.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
I have an interesting one. So there's this podcast series
that I followed probably last year, and it's called it's
like super Uh what's the word I'm trying to use,
but like it's called Baron Sodor's Theater of the Doomed
and they do like spoken word stories with like character

(17:21):
actors and everything.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Theater of the Doomed.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Yeah, okay, And some of the stories aren't as good,
but there's a few that are really good. But the
most recent one that came out at the beginning of November,
it's called The Fury, and it's about this girl whose
mother kills herself and she moves in with her dad
and his now wife and.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Their children, so her step brother and sister.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
And it's New Year's Eve and she ends up having
a babysit them because their babysitter is sick. And she's
like probably fifteen or sixteen, and they're like or maybe
she's seventeen, and the oldest the stepsisters fifteen, and the
brother is thirteen, so it's like, okay, but the stepmom
doesn't really like her. She's like, I don't think she's

(18:08):
like really gonna So there's all this kind of tension
between the stepmom and the oldest daughter, and so it
goes from there and the power goes out. They're getting
creepy phone calls. Yeah theahdeah, there's a big storm like everything.
So it sets up a really good creepy premise, very
good story. It's very fucked up.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
They are all very fucked up in this series that
they do.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
They're really twisted, they're super violent, they're extreme, but they
are acted very well. I want to say they're they're
at least out of Australia or New New Zealand. They
have the bad accent, so I don't know which one,
but that's where they come from. And this this hadn't
my interest peaked. I crushed it in probably two days

(18:57):
of driving to and from work a few hours.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, said, it must be one of the benefits of
your new job.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
That's just like driving to work, okay, yeah, saying the
truck Ye, yeah, I got it. I'm fucking cranking the GPS,
don't I can't and it's like I have such a
small interval of like travel time between stops, but this
this was really good and uh it's got a good twist,
it's got a good set up and everything. So I
would definitely check that out if you're looking for something.

(19:27):
So and it's like it's just very like, uh, it's
it's four horror fans, So it definitely is set up.
You get these like nice little like fake ads in
between nice and like the whole introduction is like this
like creepy like tails from the cript kind of sounding guy.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Someone of that must be Barren so yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
Yeah, so it's it's it's good. So definitely, like if
you like that one, check out the backlog. Okay, cool,
because they have there's just ripped through them and see
which one is. Like some of them I've like stopped
halfway through because I'm like, I don't.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Really give a ship.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah yeah, like the the podcast that do like the
creepy stories, like the almost like the the audio plays
or hit or miss basically what it is. Yea, yeah,
this this one's very good.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Okay, all right, they they're and even the ones that
I say that, I'm like, I just lose interests.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
They're not bad.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
It's just like I end up like something else comes
up and then I just like I get so separated
from the story that I just I'm like, well, I'm
like out of it, like I'm not going to go
back to it. But they're they are good. They're very
fun and they only come out like four times a
year probably.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh okay, so.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
They're like very well written and produced and like they're
they take time to like make them. They're not like
just ship it out and like nice, you know what
I mean. So yeah, so that that was cool. That's
gonna be my pick for my my peaked interest for
the month. I definitely recommend shut Out to Baron Sodor.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah, well, my interest is excellent and my boy.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Uh so not too much stuff has piqued my interest.

Speaker 7 (21:05):
But I did forget that there was a whole new
season of the Creep Tapes you guys watched. So the
first episode was a fucking banger.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I heard him.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
It has David David Mauschian David Mash saying that right now, David.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
From of course Late Night with h So.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
He's in it and he's basically a copycat killer of Okay,
du Plas's character Aaron. No, not Aaron.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
What's his name, Peach Fuzz? The real name is yeah, forget,
I forget.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
It's not Aaron.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's Aaron's the guy that's videotaping.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Him in the first movie.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
His name is Joseph.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Joseph Joseph.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
That's Joseph Joseph.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
He takes over.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
He finds this guy who's the copyat killer, who apparently
had seen Joseph's videos on the dark Web. His face
was blurred out and his voice was changed in it.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
So one way or another, Joseph manipulates the situation so
that he gets he finds the ad in the newspaper,
and he goes to meet this copycat killer who's doing
the exact same thing that he did in the first
movie and base but he knows, so he's like fucking
with him the whole time. It so it's phenomenal. I

(22:33):
was like, all right, that's the season is gonna be
pretty good because I think they just released that episode.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's brand brand.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
New, so this is season two, season two.

Speaker 7 (22:41):
Yeah, So that definitely picked my interest because I really
liked season one, but it was like there wasn't anything
that was like really cool, but this was I was like,
all right.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah right, so I know they're doing a third movie too,
so they're definitely they're.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
They're cashing it on that, which is it's surprising how
much they can pull out of that such a base,
sick concept, but it works.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oh so well, nice much. I know how much you
love Creep.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
So alright, let's will always be one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
The other thing that I just realized was I just
saw a little synopsis for a I hate Eli Roth,
so I'll probably hate this movie.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
But for some reason, this movie The ice Cream Man,
Oh yeah, pretty.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
If they go like super eighties with that, I think,
like you go with like kind of like the stuff level.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Of just cheese and gore. Yeah, I think i'd be
on board with that. I saw the I saw the
promo image for that too. It looked interesting.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
He's been giving some good praise about this fond footage movie.
He might have produced it to or be attached to
it somehow. About this movie Dream Eater that's supposed to
call I think by the week after that's supposed to
be really fucked up.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
That's when I want to check out. That's our top
ten in the.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Next couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, that will be available on v O D. Eli
Roth I feel like it's the King of He comes
up with good ideas for his movies and then when
I see them, I'm like, that was all right. He's
good trash yeah, writing and dialogue and acting big. He
does big things for the hard genre though, So I
got off because he's he's a local boy. I decided
I wanted to give Thanksgiving another another try like Thanksgiving

(24:07):
yep to watch right now? Yeah, so I want to
watch that before the holiday hits us. Cool, all right,
So the Creep Tapes Season two for Andrew and the
ice Cream.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Man, ice Creamy Man, Catherine, So you got a nice
segue for Eli roth is I just looked up I
forgot the segment.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
That's fine, So I kind of want to tell us
it's fine.

Speaker 6 (24:30):
The Pendlven it seems super creepy and like disturbing. I'd
maybe force myself to read two hundred and fifty pages
because it seems really dark.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
It flies by. You'd be surprised at how easy it is.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Three to two hundredfook.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, I can't. I can't do audiobooks.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
I can't do, Like I have a hard time enough
just focusing on like Fantasy Footballers podcast. If I'm even
trying to like see what's going on, Like, I can't
even do that.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Like if I was going to audiobook, I would do
it while I was reading the book.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, because I.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Think you get like double No does any read you
could read faster or slowly?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, so I will say enough to cut you off.
Cap But with Welcome to Derry being on, I am
listening to the audio Pody and I thought about rereading
it too. Stephen Weber reads it. It's really good. Sorry, continue, Stephen.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
So what I did see that's coming out in twenty
twenty six is the another season of the Hostel series
about Eli.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I didn't know that there was a season.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
I don't know if there was a series series and
development at Peacock for release possibly in twenty twenty six,
with Eli Roth directing and writing.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
And Paul Giamati attached to the Star.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh I like that.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Wow, it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Oh I just peaked everybody's yeah, it's on the Google onion.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So it's interesting the press source other
than the AI overview.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Something then because that just reads, Yeah, that's the first
like link that hops up.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Trailer.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Do you ever click like this gotta be like a
it's probably.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Well I looked up like horror series coming out in
twenty twenty six in this podcast to.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Go up to the top top, it should be like
a link.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Underneath it overview and then it says it's a trailer. Yeah, yeah,
it's a trailer.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well, it's definitely not.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
A rock director, right, Paul Giamatti.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Okay, Hollywood Reporter is what I see? So it actually
is a legit little thing. Yes, Hostile TV series starring
Paul Giamati in the works exclusive. Yeah so this was in.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Yeah, okay, I g n IMDb Variety. It seems very disgusting. Yeah,
that's what I was looking for. It was like a
reputable horror source.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
I love Hostile and that sounds really exciting. I mean, yes,
they get repetitive. It's the same things over and over again,
but I think I haven't seen.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
That in a long time.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Wolf Creek better than Hostile Wolf.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's fucked up movie Wolf. Honestly, the best the best
part about that news that you just told me was
was Paul Giamat starring.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Really sick and I can see him going fucking crazy,
because I always loved the scene in the original hospital.
I don't know the actor's name, but it's when the
main characters in the bathroom kind of like hiding sort of,
and that other guy's like so fired up to like
go kill somebody. And I can see Paul Gimodi like

(27:17):
embodying that kind of like fucking psychotic sort of. Yeah,
the guy had been over there with you, the guy,
the guy.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
That's like, yeah, you know, you get in the room,
how are you going to do it?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
And he was in that actor he was in that
TV show that you.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Used to suits.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, I know all these people are in suits that
but what was the other thing?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
We just watched the TV show one of the guys.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yes, I watched.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
I watched.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
It was good.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I liked it. I did not like it, not like it, but.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I did like it.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
It's just it's don't I wouldn't go in with any
sorts of expectations if you're gonna watch it.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
But it was it was good. It was messed up.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Do we all like Welcome to Derry so far? Oh yeah,
I've watched any of it?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Really, it dude, it's fucking good.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's what everybody is saying, like waiting for it to
pick the first episode, will sunkey right in? Yeah, it's
like hour long episodes, so yeah, yeah probably.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah. I think they've all been good, and I think
the third one at points felt like they were doing
a little bit of filler, but.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
That was the longest one feeling so far. But the
first the first two were like amazing. I'm going to
actually rewatch the third one because I like kind of
like broke. It's like I always watched them late at night. Yeah,
and it's like I like I fell asleep for the
third one just because it was so late.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, and I rewatched.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
I watched the second half the next day, and then
I'm going to watch that one again tomorrow and then
watch the new one that airs tonight.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
Isn't it so funny that like parents of toddlers just
get burnt out but then just stay late because you
have time.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
Well that's like how it works for me, Like especially
it's like I only get so much free time, and
like Saturday nights, like my like once the girls go
to bed, I just like I'm like, okay, I can
like lock in on.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Yeah, Like I watched Frankenstein's two and a half hours long. Yeah,
twenty eight years later is two hours long. So I
watched four and a half hours of movies. I was
up till one in the morning. Yeah, you was just
watching movies.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I was gonna say go ahead. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
We were like, what night was?

Speaker 6 (29:19):
It was a night this week and I had to
go to work the next day or something, and I
was like, I said to my because I was like, oh,
you watched Frankenstein. I was like, oh, I just throw
it on. I guess I don't know whatever.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I was like, and it turns around like two and I.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Getting me dude, Yeah, but I'm sitting there watching, not
like you, but like just like.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Generally yeah, I was like you yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
But I'm like sitting on my switch playing Fortnite, and
I'm like, then I'm casually more watching it because I'm like, really,
I just got super interested in it, being like Okay,
I guess I I this is gonna go by kind
of fast.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
So yeah, it did.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
It did. Yeah, it kept me interested.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, say more on Frankenstein. Shortly. That didn't. It didn't
feel two and a half hours to me, and twenty
eight years later definitely did not feel very long.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
No, that fell very short, and I was like taking
pauses because like Leilah woke up for a little bit,
and like, you know, anytime i'd get up to get
a beer, to go to the bathroom. Yeah, so yeah,
that that flew by and I actually some people didn't
like it.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I enjoyed that.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I did too, and it was cool the we talked
about the dick.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
We talk about the dick.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I think we can talk about it.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
But you can't say that that it's a guy that
has a huge cock. It's it's a huge cock that
has a guy.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, pretty much actual cock. Oh my goodness, Yes, I'm
not I'm not sure if it's an actual penis or
a prosthetic.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Why why aren't bothered because none of the other guys
had fat, fucking gigantic dicks.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Like, yeah, let's just say that there is. Well I
don't want to spoil it for you for either because
you both watch it, but let's just say that there's
a twenty eight years later, monsters in the twenty eight
years that have passed since the last sequel has kept growing.
The the infect have involved almost into like a like
a system where there's a higher Army like Alpha. So

(31:06):
basically they call they call one particular of these infected
the Alpha. And they're huge and it's a guy and
he also has a.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
Huge dick's just flopping around. It's like ten inches softs distracted,
like it's distracting. It's unbelievable. I'm like, oh my god, yeah,
like yeah, it's literally like.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
That guy, I say, I think we're gonna do some
some talking about twenty eight years later on the on
the and the Cock in the in the end of
your lists, I can I can't see a reason why
I wouldn't right now, right now it is within, But
go home and watch.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
It's a good movie. It's interesting. The ending was very strange,
very strange.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
Yeah, it really takes like a hard, weird turned and
then that's where it leaves you. Yeah, I didn't know that.
The next one that comes out in fucking January soon,
and that's obviously the group. We're gonna follow The Boner Temple, the.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Bon Bones.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Bone.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's not it's yeah, and Andrew, I think he is
he is he is.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
No, it's not him, it's not no, No, and he
actually played a very good character.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
He's great, and I think Andrew, You're gonna love this movie.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
It's it's sad as fun.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, it's really I love that. Yeah, Yeah, I love
sad as.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
But it just was interesting the way it works. It's
very Walking Dead. Yeah, but the yeah know, the the
character that Ray Ray Ray fiends something like that, yep,
that he plays is great and he plays a total
fucking kook, whack job psycho, but he's also very wholesome. Yeah,

(32:56):
And just like there's something about this universe that Danny
Boyle and Uhlex Carl Starland have created that's like it
really is a devastating situation. Like zombie movies are fucked up,
but there's something different about these movies that's much more
like emotionally captivating with it too, because it's like it's hard,

(33:21):
it's harsh, and it's like really really a rugged apocalyptic exit. Yeah,
and it's like it's it's it's crazy. And to think
that twenty eight years from when the first one comes
out and you see what happens then, to only see
how far they've gotten in terms of like how they

(33:42):
are civilized is crazy. And it's only that area, right,
like nobody came to help them.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
You find out like what has happened since, and like
where the virus exists in the world and where it doesn't,
Like it's they do a good job of setting up
the story in a way that's very interesting. It's it's
good it's on Netflix twenty eight years.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Is because I'll forget about it. It doesn't show up
like anywhere on Netflix, like in the first list of search.
I know, I know, but I get that, But it's
it did.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
It's been on there for months. It hasn't been a lot,
it's been. It's been it's been at least a month.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I mean, a lot of people were saying for a while,
like this was their favorite horror movie of the year,
and it's a that's a big release for Netflix. So
I'm surprised they're not. I mean maybe they were when
it first came out.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
They must have been.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, So yeah, twenty eight years later was good. Definitely good.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
It was better than I thought I was gonna be. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that that because at
the beginning they kind of were doing a lot of
similar stuff to the first movie. And then I've had
an opening scene it's fuck, it's really good, really good,
And then I feel like when Ray Fiens enters the movie,
it becomes a completely different story, which is interesting.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
So yeah, yeah you get you get definitely like some
like character like emotional attachment and everything.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
It was.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
It was it was like sweet, yeah, yeah, it's cool. Yeah,
but I'm actually now I'm excited to see the new one.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Me too, Me too.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
Went have to wait long more monster don It's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
It's out of control.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, guys, this was a lot of peaud interest to you.
This is very good, well good stuff. But I think
now it's time we wait. Hold out a second. Guys,
you didn't think I was actually going to make it
to the next segment of this podcast without actually bringing
up the fact that they announced the new Mummy movie,
The Mummy four. No, I didn't know. I mean, I'm
gonna mention. I had to mention it in passing that

(35:35):
they finally have made the official announcement they're gonna be
doing the Mummy for starring bring bringing back Brendan Fraser
and Rachel Weiss Uh, amongst others. I think I'm hoping
they're going to bring back John Hannah.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Did you guys know?

Speaker 1 (35:52):
No, I think they're just they're continuing the story. I
think they're cutting out the third one, the Dragon Emperor movie,
and I think it's supposed to be The Mummy the
Mummy returns, and then this one Scorpion King, I think
exists like in a parallel thing. But I don't think
the Rock's gonna be it.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
Speaking of casts that are coming back, did you guys
see the Scary Movie six? It's the entire original cast everybody,
and then uh, what's his name from fucking Scary Movie

Speaker 5 (36:28):
And then they have like it was separate pictures where
they had all the original people and then the which
is funny as fuck because that's exactly what Scream just
did right and the way the Waynes Brothers are this

Speaker 3 (41:16):
All right, we're back.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Thanks for hanging with us through that short commercial break, which,
of course, if you've seen the episode of the title
of this episode, you know that we tonight are talking
about a very popular movie that's been released recently on Netflix.
In that movie is called Frankenstein. And no, we're not
talking about the original universal classic Monsters Frankenstein film. This
is a new twenty twenty five American gothic drama film, produced, written,

(41:42):
and directed by Guillermo del Toro, based on the eighteen
eighteen novel by Mary Shelley. Film stars Oscar Isaac as
Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Olordie, the New Hotness as the creature
Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, among others, and the film follows
the life of egotistical signis Victor Frankenstein, who's experiment in

(42:02):
creating new life results in dangerous consequences when his monstrous
creation comes to life. As I mentioned, this movie is
now streaming on Netflix, but you can also still catch
it in theaters. This is definitely one of those movies
that I wish I had seen in theaters. I feel
like it would probably be a little bit better than
watching it at home because it is a very cinematic experience.

(42:22):
Eighty five percent critics score on the Tomatoes, by the way,
in a ninety five percent audience score, so the audiences
tend to like it a little bit more than the critics,
which is interesting. This did have a budget of one
hundred and twenty million dollars, and that's I was not
able to find box office. Yeah, right, one twenty seems
a little bit low, but that's still a ton.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Yeah it is, but it's just for the production. I
just want to real quick before we like totally dive
into this. There's something I forgot to mention before. Spectacular.
Oh yeah, fantastic, Absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
I'm it was.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
It was so fun to watch and check that out
and see that, But it also was like heartbreaking because
I didn't get to experience the original Spooky World.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
I only experienced the one in Foxborough, which was so
really cool. I had a lot of fun going to that.
I was very young.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
I think that might have even been the last year
they did it.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
Yeah, because that was probably ten and that was around
the two thousand and three, two thousand and four.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
So so so worth checking out, very very cool. Shout
out Tony, great job that was. That was just but again,
like it made me sad. I'm like, fuck, what a
wonderful thing that got ruined.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Yeah, so because of bureaucracy and just politics.

Speaker 5 (43:45):
I just yeah, thanks to the people that put it
together in the first place and gave a ship to
do something like that, because that's that's so cool.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Yeah, I just wanted to real quick.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
But that was actually to piggyback on that. I was
talking to Zach yesterday at the boys' birthday party and.

Speaker 6 (44:00):
They went to Haunted Overload O yeah, and they were like,
because Zach moved here from he's origin from Alaska.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
And He's like, wait, so.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
They don't have like a lot of those Haunted Overload
places like in Massachusetts. I'm like, not that many in
mass There A lot of them are in New Hampshire.
I was like, fright Kingdoms in New Hampshire, Haunted Overloads
in New Hampshire, Spooky worlds in New Hampshire.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Still a thing.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Spooky world is still a thing, and it's it's just
which is Woods is up there? Like, yeah, which is
which is Woods? Which is Woods is technically in Massa, Massachusetts?

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Okay, Yeah, it was like a lot of places are
in New Hampshire.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Yeah, but they're worth not that.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Its not than where the what was it? Drive to
fucking Manchester?

Speaker 1 (44:45):
So Spooky World still exists in New Hampshire, but it
kind of in name only. Uh Bertolino sold the rights
to the name to the owners of the new park,
so it's called like Nightmare New England presents Spooky World.
But the attraction itself up there is still pretty good.
They have a hoted hay ride and like three other
hanted houses.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Yeah, it's it's worth checking out for sure, but it's
not the same obviously the original Spooky World, wasn't it.
Like Factory of Terror is still still in Fall River, YEP,
which I want to check out next year, so it's
a pretty close house. Yeah, we should all check that out.
There was one I went to when I was a kid.
It was after I went to Spooky World, because I
was probably in fifth grade and the kid I went

(45:27):
with lived in Carver, and I want to say it
was in the Carver Plimpton, Halifax, probably proximity. But there
was a hay ride, there was a corn maze.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
It was very scary. It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
It was very cool.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
And I remember going to that and I have absolutely
zero possible way of knowing what it was, where.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
It was, or what it was called. But it was
very cool.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Thanks.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Yeah, we could look it up.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
We can look it up. We'll find it.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I could if i'll take I'll try to tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
I'll take some time and try to dig deep and
I'll reach out to the kid I went with, because
I'm still friends him on social media and see maybe
he might remember.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah, I'm this This area is definitely ripe for some
sort of hot a track.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Plymouth would never.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
I know, it's weird, but they should.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
Yeah, they would never, and they have so much opportunity
to be able to pull it off, especially with the
plantation and.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Yeah, forrests just wide open land.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Even I think I want to build condos.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Yeah, I'm actually surprised plantation now Plymouth Puxic my bad.
I'm actually surprised they haven't done it yet, or I'm
surprised that they didn't do it. When the two companies merged.
But now that King Richard's Fair is owned by Ville
Railroad something there like that would be really.

Speaker 7 (46:45):
Cool, but they'd rather just have dress like stupid less
people love King Richards fairy legs and beer like so
over price apparently need ship it off me.

Speaker 6 (47:03):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's swine made by honey. Yeah,
so that's why they call Honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
It's meat. Hangover, dude, it'll funk you up upstairs.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
I like to go at some.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Point just to check it out. I'm not going to
dress like a goblin.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
But you've never been to King Ridges Fair.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Oh it's fun. Hell no, it's fun.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Crush meat and wash the nerds fucking larp.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's cool. People watching there is fam
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, there's some people that are really into it.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
But now because it's at Eataville, it's not the same
as it was when it was like.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
In the Woods and Carver. Yeah it was way I
mean I obviously go way cool. Yeah, I heard the
traffic there. Now that that's combined, it's still is outrageous. Yeah,
but I digress. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's oread. I just
wanted to make sure I gave that shadow because I
did watch that no good stuff. I forgot to ask
you about that. I meant to do it, but doctor

(47:59):
Frank and Steve Frank and Weenie. So yeah, budget of
one twenty and I was not able to find box
office returns on it. But I'm sure did it go
to the theaters? Yeah, it's in theaters. You can still
see it in some theaters right now.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
Oh really?

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yeah? So they released it select select theater and I
think it was a wide release, but maybe it wasn't.
But in mid October they did release it ahead of
its Netflix drop.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
I only heard of it just going to Netflix. Okay,
I never saw that it was in theaters.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Well on Netflix. This was released. This article was released
four days ago. Let's see Del Toros Frankenstein tops Netflix
charts with twenty nine point one million views in three days,
makes it the streamer's fifth biggest film debut of twenty
twenty five, behind Back in Action, Happy Gilmore Too, The

(48:48):
Old Guard Too, and Havoc. The only one of those
that I've seen is Happy Gilmore Too, which is good.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
It was good.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
That was fun. Yep. I haven't heard of the other one.
That's a lot less impressive. You mentioned the movies that
it was behind.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Yeah, yeah, right, I've never heard Oh that, what do is?
Have it? No clue? So I like, what is that?
Carl obviously like box office and budgets and stuff like
we we talk about in this podcast, but I don't

(49:22):
have any sort of insider knowledge as to like how
how like the workings of Netflix gets revenue from these
movies that they're streaming subscribers. So I did so. Guiermo
del Toro did sign an exclusive deal with Netflix back
in twenty twenty to make movies, and this is the
second Netflix exclusive movie that he's released. The first one

(49:43):
was the Pinocchio animated movie, which Cat and I did
watch and it was pretty good, right, yeah, it was.
It was It was a dark it was like what
you would expect from a del Toro Pinocchio movie. It's
like weird dark animation, pretty cool. A lot of the
same things that are in his movies are doing the voices,
so it was interesting. But I doesn't say anywhere in
here what Netflix actually paid del Toro for exclusive exclusivity

(50:06):
to his film, So I would wonder what that is
and what you know if they kind of gave him
cart blanche on budget, et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, my
point being, I think before we talk about Frankenstein and
what we thought of the movie, I feel like we
have to have a conversation about del Toro here, because
I know this is the second movie of his that
we've covered on the show. The first one was Pans Labyrinth,
which I know is one of Kat's favorite movies.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
But I'll say actual birthday, like the month cat Cat
picked as a birthday as a birthday thing, Oh, I.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Got the October's Now it's Bridge and Mike's birthday. We
do everything Bridge, It's birthday.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Let's let's be clear here. I know we went out
for my birthday.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
We did.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I can't hate, but I don't think it's a filmmaker
out there whose sensibilities are better suited for an adaptation
of Frankenstein than Del Toro. And I don't really think
it's a spoiler to say that whatever you were in
vision when you thought of Guillermo del Toro and Frankenstein,
you pretty much get it in this movie when you
watch it. And this is a movie that he's been
trying to make since the nineties and several iterations with
several different actors attached to the role of the creature.

(51:14):
There's actually a pretty good article where they interview Del
Toro and Fangoria, the most recent one that came out
and at this little takeaway for me here was I
think what you need to know about this movie going
into it? And the question was for people who are
Frankenstein files and love the James Whale movies and the
Hammer films, what will be the most surprising thing about
your Frankenstein. His answer was, and I quote absolutely everything.

(51:37):
This is not an homage. This is a Cinophiles movie.
This is entirely autobiographical for me in the sense that
it's infused with my DNA and my personal story. Whatever
you think you're going to see, you're going to get
something different, which I think is true watching this movie.
And I think I realized in watching this that I'm

(51:58):
a fan of Guillermo Del Toro as a filmmaker in
terms of the fact that he loves the monsters, makes
a ton of monster movies. He's obviously an excellent director,
a technician if you will. I love the vibe of
his movies, but I'm not sure if personally there's one
of his movies that I absolutely love.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
My favorite movie that he has made is The Devil's Backbone.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
That's a lot of people's favorite.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
It's a very very creepy ghost story.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Yeah, in Spanish, it's very rare. You you would.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
I haven't seen enough of it to give a determination.
I don't find any of his stuff that good.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
I don't either.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
I'm not a huge fan of mediocre at best. Obviously, Kat,
I know you love pans Labyrinth, like love, love, love
the movie.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Pan's Labyrinth is good, but it's just not my cup
of tea at all.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, I think it's a very good movie. I wouldn't
consider it. I'm like, this is good, but I'm like,
it's not a movie I would watch. I'm watch Shape
of Water again with you. But it's definitely like it's
it's not a horror movie. Yeah, I don't need but
he like you can you can feel like big fish. No,
it's not a big Definitely, it's like a different than that. Yeah, No,

(53:13):
it's like a literally lady having a fish creature. So
here here's del Toro's body of work, the movie that
the movies that he's directed of Cronos first movie in
ninety two. Second one Mimic. That's a movie I really like,
like great monster movie, Mimic, Devil's Backbone in two thousand
and one, Blade two in two thousand and two, I

(53:34):
forgure good movie. That's a very good movie. Two thousand
and four, hell Boy Okay, two thousand and six, pans
Labyrinth Day two thousand and eight, hell Boy to the
Golden Army, And I know he was supposed to have
done a third hell Boy movie, but it never came
to Fruition Pacific, rim In twenty thirteen, which is the
movie that I haven't seen. Crimson Peak in twenty fifteen,

(53:57):
which again I liked, but that wasn't bad. Yeah. Twenty seventeen,
Shape of Water went one Best Picture at the Oscars,
which is sick yep. Twenty twenty one Nightmare Alley, that's
an awesome movie.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
I didn't see that. I've seen the original.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Yep. We did an episode of the Actually this is
this is the third Del Tora movie we've done, because
we did do an episode on Nightmare Alley. The original
Nightmare Ally is fantastic. Yeah, and I thought Del Toros
was really good too, but that's also not a horror
movie that's a very dark thriller noir type movie. Pinocchio
in twenty twenty two and then Frankenstein in twenty twenty five.
So like say TV work, he worked on the Strain

(54:33):
on FX and Cabinet of Curiosities. I think Cabinet of
Curiosities was fantastic, that's really good, But a lot of
those he wasn't directing like that was he was doing
like an Alfred Hitchcock Presents type of thing where he
obviously like oversaw the hand show stories, hick the stories
and people directed them. But like there were some fucking
bangers in that show. Yeah, got a thick accent. Yeah,

(55:00):
he definitely does. He doesn't sound like Dracula. But I
think it's very clear with all that said, right, I
think it's very clear that he is a huge horror fan.
He's in all kinds of the documentaries, like I think
he's in the Bravo, He's in Bravo, he does all

(55:21):
the Shutter series. Like, he's always willing to talk about horror.
It's clear he loves.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
Horror and he always has outstanding knowledge and opinions.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, which I respect. But I think it's
just interesting that.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
He's just spicy Peter Jackson.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Yeah, yes, that's that's a good way of putting it.
But he's a filmmaker that I respect a lot, and
he's a filmmaker that is clearly very good at what
he what he does, and I will watch anything he
puts out without actually, like legit loving one of his
mon He is a very good filmmaker.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Yes, yeah, he's very good and always studying when he
plays that guy.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Yeah, that's such a weird cameo too, very funny. Yeah, yeah,
he's in He's in the Marine Ponderosa Wedding Masacre, and
then he's in the The McPoyle versus Uncle Uncle Jack
with the fake hands.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
Nobody look, nobody, look.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Nobody looks like you would say looking at me that
I'm a man that has small hands, but as you
can see, that's not true.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Nobody look.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
That's so good anyway, So del Toro, I guess, long,
long way of coming around to the point. Interesting to
talk about Del Toro's movies prior to this, because I
this is I think the first Del Toro movie that
I actually might love. I'm I'm kind of arriving at
that now. But I know you obviously really like Pans Labyrinth,

(56:47):
and this is definitely like if you if you are
looking for like Boris Karloff as your Frankenstein like the
original one, this is probably this is not what you're
gonna get. Learn that, Yeah, for sure that it wasn't. Yeah,
so I guess what do we think of Frankenstein? Cat?
I know you also really cared for this movie quite
a bit, and in watching it, as you watch more

(57:09):
of it, your interest was, dare I say, peaked before
we got into the movie peaked.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
I got off my switch, I started watching the movie.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
In the switch it's I am addicted to Fortnite, grow up?

Speaker 3 (57:20):
No, no, I she loves Sara.

Speaker 5 (57:23):
Sarah plays like these like little like you build community games.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Yes, you're yeah, it's just something mindless. It's so fun.
Mike's Mike's Edition is a Fortnite now too.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
I have to say, the rest of the world Fortnite, Yeah, yes,
TikTok's where you guys need the dances?

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Never, Oh right, you're fucking creeping around the corner, dude.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah no, I don't have that one yet.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
God.

Speaker 6 (57:47):
So yes, I put my switch down because I was like,
you know what, and the minute you turn on, you're like,
oh my god, it's gonna be two hours and thirty minutes.

Speaker 8 (57:55):
Like uh, I was what.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
Yeah, that's why I posted on my Instagram time like
make corror movies and again, yeah, this is fucking bullshit.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Yeah, it was outrage.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
I'm sick of.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
Every movie being two hours long. Yeah, weapons was fucking
too Yeah, even that, I was excited to see that,
and I was like, come the fuck on.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Yeah, yeah, it's no mean for it.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
It's just it's too much.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Well, I was like, you know, we'll start it tonight,
we'll finish it another time, and then I was just like, no,
we have to watch the whole thing. Like I'm way
too interested in this now.

Speaker 6 (58:22):
And like even the pieces of they had, like part one,
part two, I was like, wait, is this like the
first part of the Frankenstein. Yeah, you're saying, fucking Christ,
there's fucking thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Yeah. But I liked.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
I think that it was much different than what I
expected it to be because I'm like, oh, like ew,
like great cool, Like it was.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Much more graphic than I thought it was going to be,
much more graphic. There was more storyline.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
I was trash.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Yeah, I hated the CGI, so that's a lot. That's
a big thing that a lot of people don't like
about this movie is is they think that the CGI
is pretty shoddy.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Yeah, which is just him throwing people.

Speaker 6 (58:58):
Yeah, But I think it was cool how they kind
of depicted Frankenstein like as he like he had to
learn everything all over again. And then I said to
Mike at one point, I'm like, oh my god, Franken
sounds like Bridget It's like, what's this?

Speaker 1 (59:11):
What?

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Sorry? Yes, the monster the monsters like.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
The creature, the creature. I don't even call him the
monster in this I did like.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
A Disney princess in this one.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
I didn't like that he talked, but I got corrected
because I guess in the book, which I honestly I've
never read the book, he talks a lot.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
I was going to ask if any any of you
guys have read the book, and I cried, it's not
an easy so I don't. I don't pretend to be
an expert on the book in this particular case, but
from what I gather, this is the most faithful adaptation
of the book.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
The creature like murdering women and children in the book.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
No, no, so not that I not, not from what
I saw when I read the plot description of the book.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
Yeah, so in the original that because that scene where
he kills a little girl, yeah, is the pinnacle of
the movie. Yeah, that's that's pretty that's that like the
catalyst of the pitchforks and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Yeah. So, if I, if I remember correctly, the Mia
goth character in this movie is in the book.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
I didn't say that this that wasn't me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Frankenstein kills her. Frank the creature kills that character in
the book, which obviously, you know, obviously in this movie
doesn't particularly Frankenstein does kill Oh yeah, actually, yeah, you
know what. Yep, Okay, technically technically that's right. Actually yeah,
now now that I'm remembering it, okay, But yeah, so
there there are some there were some different signs Frankenstein's monster. Yes, sorry, no,

(01:00:41):
there's a lot of a lot of technicalities here, I apologize.
So yeah, finished, yes, yes, please finish.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
I was very distracted by Mia Goff's poor.

Speaker 6 (01:00:52):
Acting, ugly face and just distracting accent whatever her normal acts,
unseeing face and the whining and the like, oh god,
she's awful.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
She's so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
She's from England.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
I thought she did find it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
I wanted to punch on the nose.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
See, I just I understand where you're coming from. I
just I can't. I can't say that she's not a
good actress because she's really good. She was awesome in
the magazine. She's she's out of her mind.

Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
She so good. No, she's so good. Well, the thing is,
she's so good at being a lunatic.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
I don't think she was.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
I think she was.

Speaker 5 (01:01:31):
She wasn't a lunatic in this movie. I'm just saying
she's being a lunatic and so good. And Infinity Pool
is probably her best performance. Pearl is very good.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
She is and unbelievable in Pearl. I just love her.
I think she's got a cute little button.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
Yeah, I thought, aside from Oscar Isaac and it was
the other guy that's in everything that well, he's like
the German Christopher Christoph Waltside from that's true, the acting
was terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (01:02:05):
So here's what I when I was texting you guys
last night, and I'm like, what's up like with Christoph Waltz.
Is he's the is he the equal. So when it
gets revealed that he has syphilis, I'm like, is and
then he falls and he's like it looked like he
was in the line of fire for I'm like, so,
is this like the abnormal brain that we're gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Get, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
I was like, yeah, wow, this is like a really
interesting setup for how they're gonna do this where he
because he's got syphilis and obviously rots your brain. And
I'm like, wow, what a creative old school way of
like morphing the monster's brain and that obviously that yeah,

(01:02:48):
didn't didn't. He picks his head off off the ground
and it's like ship.

Speaker 5 (01:02:53):
But I was like, oh, okay, so I got I
got thrown off a handful of times on this movie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Okay, I was pissed.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
There's a now igor to be completely honest, Yeah, that's
kind of a bummer. But obviously that that's an invention
for that for that first Frankenstein movie, because no, it's alive.
There's no igor all that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:08):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't believe there wasn't. In It's Alive,
he goes to bed. Yep, Yeah, it's pretty much. Yeah,
very different, very different. Sorry, so continue you you were saying,
do you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Yeah, sorry for.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
And what's this? The creature was played by the guy
that was in Euphoria.

Speaker 5 (01:03:29):
Yeah, Jacob already Saltstone and we're slurped off the bottom
of Yeah, that was a movie he was.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Yeah, he's good in a lot of other things.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
I just haven't Yeah, huge dude. I looked him.

Speaker 5 (01:03:44):
Yeah, I looked it up because I was like, A,
how tall is he? And B how tall is Oscar Isaac? Yeah,
because I was like, I wonder if he's on stilts
or like something, and like but Oscar Isaac's like five
nine yeah, and six five to five nine.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
That's such a huge that you gotta get difference. They
did a good job of making the creature very imposing
and large looking in this And what'd you sure he got?

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
Probably?

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
I think I think that guy's probably in pretty decent
shape already. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
I loved the scene Oscar Isaac cutting.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
That was when I texted you guys, like, this is
way more graphic than I thought was.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
I think I remember Kat looking away during that. He's
using a loan off a leg and twisting it like
just like pulling the rest of the and I there
were definitely a couple of really cool practical effect pieces,
like in the prelude part or Victor's story where he
he's doing that demonstration in front of that auditorium of
the college and he does like the reanimator thing where

(01:04:47):
he kind of gets like that body that body to
like partially wake up. I thought that was really cool.
And you know, a lot of the testing that he
does is very interesting is when that when he has
the other corpse that's like head down, you don't really
get to see anything.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
Yeah, and he has the conversation with me at goth
where she talks about symmetry. Yeah, in the spinal cord
and he removed he moves them around and then it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
Pops up and it's got no jaw.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
You're like, oh, yeah, there's a good little yeah, like
sinky little jump scare.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
And but that, like that kind of stuff was cool.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
And it was interesting. But I'm like, this is just
like the CGI, just like kind of fucking I can
see that. I can see that, all right, So kay,
But you liked the movie though quite a bit.

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
I liked that way way more than I thought I would. Yeah, okay,
how about you, Michael.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
I loved it, I thought. I mean, I admitted this
to Matt when when we were texting last night, that
I'm a pretty easy lay when it comes to classic
monster type stuffy Yeah, so I yeah, I mean, I
feel like there was a good chance I was gonna
like this movie anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
In listening to what del Toro had to say when
he was promoting the movie that he was saying, it's
not really a horror movie in his in his in
his mind. It's also not a monster movie, he said
in a couple of interviews, which I was like, Okay,
I don't know if I really like where this is going,
but I really liked the story. I thought the opening,
but all the stuff up in the Arctic Circle with

(01:06:11):
the frozen ship was fucking awesome. Ye, really cool, I
thought it was. I thought the acting pretty much across
the board was top notch. I thought everybody was great.
It's always good to see Christoph Waltz classing up the
joint too, even in a small rule. Yet that's when
I was I wish, I wish he was in more
of it. He's so good and like a cat. And

(01:06:32):
I rewatched Inglorious Bastards the other night too, and I
told you, yeah, he's he's so good in that he's
so terrifying. But he's a good actor. And there's a
few other people in there that do a really good job.
The guy from Game of Thrones, I think it's David Bradley.
He plays the older blind guy. I thought he was great,
and I can understand.

Speaker 5 (01:06:50):
Why that's that's an original, that's a big part of
the story.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Yes, and what's his face is the father?

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Oh yeah, Charles Dance, who's try uh tied with Lanister.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Yeah, so the fat It was just like a complete ass.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Yeah, And I I thought me A Gough was fine.
I didn't think she took away from the movie for me.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
I thought you did.

Speaker 5 (01:07:13):
But I got thrown off at it because she plays
the mom at the beginning. Yeah, and she dies immediately,
and I'm like, what the fuck are you like the
crying about Yeah, I didn't realize that. So I was like,
you guys, you're like you're talking about puke. And every
time she's she's on the screen.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
For half a second.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
She played the mom and the Yeah, I think she was.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
In heavy makeup for the mom. So I didn't really
I didn't pick up on it. First either, But yeah,
she's the mom.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
I noticed, what did I thought by the way that button.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Oscar Isaac phenomenal. I thought he was very really good.
Always Frankenstein, He's good. And I actually I thought that
Jacob Elordie was a pretty good preacher. I thought he
did a pretty good job with it. But while we're
on this topic, I wanted to mention that he was
not Del Toro's first choice for this role. So I
want to hear if you guys would think this would
be any better with either of these guys. Yeah, not

(01:08:02):
Rob So, as I mentioned, Deltresen working on this movie
since the nineties. So the early the early leader in
the clubhouse.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
Big Boo.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
First actor attached to it was Doug Jones, who's at
Del Toro staple and he played the pale man in
Pants Labyrinth, Oh, the guy with the eyeballs in his hands,
So that was the first guy attached to it, yea.
Doug Jones apparently later said that the project and that
at that time frame was put on the back burner
because Universal was trying to do that Dark Universe thing

(01:08:40):
with that Tom Cruise Mummy movie, and Javier Bardem was
supposed to be playing Frankenstein, so star at that point.

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
It's funny that you say that because I, as I
was watching Oscar Isaac, I was like, I could picture
Javier Bard being, Yeah, Victor Frankens.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
He's a great actor, so I could definitely see that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
But he was gonna play the monster.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
He was gonna play the monster.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
I was like, I'm like, wow, like because I just
when I see how I'm like, he's so locked in
as Anton Sugar Sugar from No Country for All. Then
for me another he would have been so good as
Victor Peranketstein. But either I Oscar Isaac, thank you did

(01:09:23):
so good?

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Yeah, Oscar, I think the Del Toro said that Oscar
Isaac was one of the only actors that he considered.
I wasn't able to find anything else on that we
should do No Country Roll Then I would talk about
that movie any day, any day. In twenty thirteen, Del
Toro was still working on this with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
FU fuck him?

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Fuck his name?

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Is that a can you look up?

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Is that I'll find out. I'll find out that he
was Oh my god, why the what I want? He's
a phenomenal. That's that show is awesomelock. Yeah, I actually
like I like cumber Batch full name?

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Do you know me? Like, that's why why I'm asking,
like you know that I would not watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
Sure really good with Benedict cumberbat full name. By the way,
Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch was born in nineteenth of July
nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
What a piece of ship, piece.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Of not as much as Molie.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Is fucking awesome. No, so okay, cumber batches as the
creature was in twenty thirteen. I guess when when it
came to Netflix, Del Toro's first choice for the creature
was Andrew Garfield.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
Wow, he like.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Spider Man and he was he was a Dwardo in
the social network.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Does he like lag Andrew Garfield?

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Garfield?

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
Probably?

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Maybe he doesn't. He's a good actor though I could
see it. Yeah he's good. Yep, he's a good actor.
But I guess he had to drop out due to
scheduling conflicts, which is when Del Toros start talking to
Jacob A. Lordie about playing the creature. Yet good, Yeah,
he was good. They should have just got Robert de Niro. Yeah,
well that's already happened once what about I like, phi, Yeah,

(01:11:30):
that'd be a he's too he's too short to play.
He's like five f Yeah, built a human and he
made him five ft tall. He so angry. But I
I thought one of the one of the reasons I
thought this movie kind of flew by. I liked that
it was broken up into sections like, obviously the prelude
and then the story told from Victor's point of view,

(01:11:50):
and then the story told from the creature's point of view.
I think obviously the movie picks up when it gets
to the creature's point of view and you see what
happens there. But I think if you're going and expecting
like a true horror monster movie, you might be slightly disappointed.
But it's it's because there's a lot of drama in here,
which I but I I really I liked it a lot,
and I think I'll probably be talking about it somewhere

(01:12:11):
on my top ten list in December. To guess, gentlemen,
would either of you like to go thoughts on Frankenstein overall? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
Mine just pretty quick?

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
It was fine. Yeah, I honestly it comes down to
two things.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
Like we said before, del Toro's fine in my book,
doesn't really do anything for me, and Frankenstein in general
doesn't really do anything for me either, Like outside of
like Young Frankenstein and like Reanimator, I don't really care about.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
It's like he's like the least interesting character I find
out of those. See I can. I can understand what
you're saying too, because I feel like the Frankenstein story
has been done to death. It's been done to death
to death.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
And it's just kind of like, mah, why what's it
between Frankenstein and Dracula.

Speaker 7 (01:12:52):
Then well, I just personally prefer Dracula really, so I'm
over Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
Really can't.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
I don't really, I say, I can't vampire shit. But
then I go through the list of vampire movies. I
actually like it. I'm like, there's actually quite a few.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
Dude. It took me six tries to watch those.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
That's insane.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Movie.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
I think I think those. I think those fato would
be a good double feature with this movie.

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
It would, But I was like, I got through it,
and I'm like, dude, the movie honestly, I thought it
was proud to trying of sucked wild. Yeah, I I'm not, dude.
Period piece, man, it fucking kills me. Man, it's just
not my bag, all right, And I'm like, Lily Depth
or whatever her name is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Yeah, dude, take it easy, girl, take it like it
just it just didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:13:46):
I really did not like that movie at all, and
I was so fucking mad that I finally sat watched
it because I was like, I know, I'm not gonna
like this.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
I tried so many times. I finally watch it and I'm.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Like, exactly, I just wasted fucking two and a half
goddamn hour. And that's why with this I was like, fuck, dude,
this is gonna be exactly like nice for Auto. I'm
gonna fucking hate it. It's gonna be a huge waste
of time. I didn't feel that extreme about this one.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Okay, No, I didn't hate this movie.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
I could go the rest of my life and never
about it again. I just like it was an hour
longer than it needed to be. Well, that's everything is
like that, that's the problem, because I did like that.
I was captivated very early on in that movie, like
I like the whole Arctic Circle ship. That's very cool.
But then it just.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
Just goos and it's just like people are talking like
I was back and actually a brine. Yeah, it's a
little like this piece of wood actually has the central memphisis.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
I feel like that period in time is extremely boring.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
I like the Old West. Sure, Frankenstein in the Old West.
Let's go. Well. I think Del Toro kind of hit
you over the head here with like the father son
dichotomy and theme here, and that like bad fathers can
make bad sons, can make bad sons, can make bad
sons as bad fathers, you know, because I feel like
there's a lot my stuff with his father. Yeah exactly, yeah,

(01:15:13):
me will point your finger at me. Well that's the thing.
So I think Oscar Isaac's victor here, like there's no
doubt that he's supposed to be the bad guy. Like
he's a bastard in this movie for sure, creature like
ship like you know, yeah, story, yes, right.

Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Like he's the son that no one liked and no,
not even that, but like just like that, it's like, dude,
you're playing god and you're already doing something that's just
taboo and fucked up, and then you create this monster,
which this is why. So what upset me about this
was like because I love the original and I was

(01:15:53):
obsessed with Frankenstein. As a little kid, I thought Frankenstein
was like the monster, and the scene where he kills
the little girl was like the catalyst of how that
movie plays out. And then you have the scene with
the pitchforks and the fire and the torches they burn
down the building he's in. He's like, yeah, like it's

(01:16:15):
super stressful.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Dude.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
If you watch that movie where he's in the building
and it's on fire, it's really fucked up, like for
a movie from nineteen thirty one. Yeah, like that's like intense,
Like it's an intense ending to that movie. And this
I'm like like, okay, with the Blind Man cool, you know,

(01:16:37):
the arctric circle thing was cool. All the Victor Frankenstein shit,
I'm like okay, Like yep, yep, he's pretentious. I get it,
and you get to it. There's no it's alive.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
He's just up.

Speaker 5 (01:16:49):
Like he just wakes him up, and he's like like
you said, oh shit, like you're awake. And then he's
like like I said, I didn't read the book, so
it's like knock me if you want to. But I'm like,
he fucking doesn't shut the fuck up. Dude, talks a lot,
like and like then we get are we getting narration

(01:17:11):
from him?

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:17:12):
Yeah, I'm like this is kind of ridiculous, like and
so and I'm like he's supposed to be like a monster,
and I'm like getting that he's like witnessing violence. That
the wolf scene was cool. Yeah, it was really intense too,
Like that was that was a good scene. And he's
kind of being like, Okay, violence kind of is the
way to function and survive. And so as it's going on,

(01:17:41):
I'm like, all right, like he's got to kill a
little girl though, right, Like that's gotta be how this
goes down.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
And then like they burn him at the stake or something.
And then I actually when he.

Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
When when Mia Goth gets killed by Victor, I was like, Okay,
this is where this is all going to come to
a head.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
And then it just didn't, and I was like all right,
Like so I I really was like it was good.
It's very well made. But I was like, this my bag,
like this, I like the original.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Fair It's a completely legitimate thought to have because a
lot of people this is I feel like my appreciation
for this one does not take away from my respect
and love for the original one. As well, So I'm
with you there.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
I think I liked watching the evolution of Frankenstein, like
like how he evolves in.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
But see, Like to me, it's like he's supposed to
be like completely dumb and like doesn't understand anything and
he's destructive.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Bad new take on it is he actually develops as
a person. He gets emotions and he gets all these things.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Yeah, I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
Yeah. What did you guys think of the design of
the creature trash? Fine, not at all?

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Really, Yeah, I didn't like it at all.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Not my favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
I think it was weird how he could like.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
He looked like a Star Wars villain that was actually
gonna be My next question was, what do you think
of him essentially being immortal, like could not die right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
But then like his scars didn't fade from when he
was created, which.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
I thought he looked like a Star Wars villain.

Speaker 4 (01:19:17):
Yeah, that concept in general though, like if you're brought
back to life, you shouldn't die.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
You've already cheated death once.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
It's kind of I kind of like that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
That's fine, okay, but it's an interesting perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
I guess. So I guess there was a graphic novel
version of Frankenstein that came out in like nineteen eighty
three that del Toro. I guess heavily borrowed the look
from with like blessing from the original artist, which I
thought it was. I mean, you can't do the green
and the bolts and the flat top again. I get that,
So it's got to be something different for me.

Speaker 5 (01:19:53):
It's like he either has to look like that or
he's got to look like leather face. Yeah, like it's
got to be like grotesquely fucking awful. Like the the
perfection of it bothered me, okay, and like I'm like, dude,
you just sewed.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
Ships on a cortus together. It should look like ship.
It should look awful.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
I feel like that design fits with what Victor Frankenstein's
character was like that, but like where like he's you know,
it takes.

Speaker 5 (01:20:26):
Away from him being a monster. It's just like you
just like kind of like brought this like fucking thing back.
I just and it goes back to what you're saying
where it's like gamble that tour is like this isn't
a horror movie. It's like, dude, it is a fucking
horror movie. You just reigated a dead person, multiple dead

(01:20:46):
people into one like it's supposed to be scared.

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
It's not.

Speaker 5 (01:20:50):
It's this isn't a fairy tale, Like so that's it's
just that kind of ship. Like that's what really bugged me.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
All the animals falling around like he's some fucking like.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
Yeah, he's.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Snow white, go murder somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):
Yeah, and so it's just like there's like, yeah, it
just and like, don't get me wrong, it was cool,
like but it's just like, okay, is this all he
does is throw people into fucking mirrors?

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
Like okay, yeah, he.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Ripped a few heads off, and like he did off
some jaws and limbs and stuff. But yeah, I could
see that you wanting more.

Speaker 5 (01:21:26):
You know him, but like it's still I'm just like, god,
damn dude, Like it's just like it took the balls
out of the monster.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
To be completely honest in my opinion, I'm like, it's not.
It's just a guy. It's just like a sad guy. Yeah,
much like Emo Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
You know what. It reminded me a lot of kat
I know you did any of you guys, either of
you guys watched the Penny Dreadful TV show that was
on Showtime. Love that show. It was a really good show.
But there is a a Frankenstein character in that show
played by oh fuck, what's his name? Rory Kinnear, a

(01:22:10):
British actor, and he plays Frankenstein very similarly the guy
from Men. Guy from Men, Yeah exactly, yeah, and he's
been a ton of stuff, but he plays Frankenstein very
similarly to the way it's played in this movie. And
the look is actually kind of similar to so that
that actually.

Speaker 3 (01:22:28):
Look okay, I can.

Speaker 5 (01:22:29):
Understand at least, like give me some staples or something
along those scar lines, like you know what I mean,
Like yep.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
But.

Speaker 5 (01:22:37):
Yeah, it just you know what, it didn't It didn't
do it for me. But it also didn't like fall
to the bottom of my list for the year.

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
So it was well made. It was good.

Speaker 5 (01:22:49):
I was into it, but I have problems with it. Sure,
So just being such a genuine like I've I've talked about,
Abbot can tell me Frankenstein is the great movie my
gateway horror when I was five.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
And that's not Boris Carloff either, but it's it's pretty
fucking goddamn close, dude, Like it's still the same design,
the same flat fucking head.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
And when I when I got that, Christoph Waltz's character had.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
The simplest thing he falls, I'm like, oh my god, this.

Speaker 5 (01:23:24):
Is gonna be what transfers the fucking abnormal brain. I'm like,
this is brilliant, Like this is so good. And that
didn't happen keep me right out of it. I was like,
that sucks, Like what a what a good like sacrifice
bunt fucking world series game seven set up, and like

(01:23:47):
it just like it just didn't they the guy just
swings it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
Miss. I was like, fuck, dude, that sucks.

Speaker 8 (01:23:53):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
I was upset and that kind of like from there,
I was like, all right, I'm out of it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:58):
Great idea from that for a podcast, Festivus, I have
a problem with certain things of movies.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
Sure, Festus episode airing of airing of horror movie grievances.
That's a really good idea. I'm on board with that. Okay,
maybe we could do that as like a segment December.

Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
Not even like not even like a countdown on our list,
just like an open yeah, because that's gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yet brilliant, Yeah, that's good, brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
Good that January episode.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
Maybe good January episode. We could do a post holiday
Festivus airing grievances. Yeah, I like that. I like that
a lot. I will say so before we get totally
off of the Frankenstein's creature. Look, I guess that was
all practical, all the makeup and everything. I guess he
already spent about ten hours a day in makeup just
to get in preparation for this character, which is pretty insane.

(01:24:58):
That sucks. That sucks for him for sure. There also
was a pretty cool video on Netflix's YouTube channel of
Del Toro touring the laboratory set and the frozen ship set.
They built both of those from scratch, so those were
actual physical sets. Yeah, very good sets. But you could see,

(01:25:19):
like so in the laboratory set you could see like
out the window behind that that was all green screen,
so everything out there was all CGI. But yeah, I
thought those were the two coolest sets in the entire
movie by far.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
The laboratory.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
Yeah, the laboratory is very cool, and also had that
pretty cool little Medusa statue on the wall there, which
was interesting. A big big yeah, it's a big, big lead.
And also I wanted to mention this because you guys
were talking about like the character of Victor Frankenstein and
like kind of how he operates. Del Toro said that

(01:25:54):
he wanted this character to character to appear less like
a scientist in more like a rock star, citing David Bowie,
Mick Jagger, and Prince as influences on that character. You
can see that, you know, almost like a rock star.
I didn't really maybe the dress, the way he was dressed. Yeah, yeah,

(01:26:16):
he's wearing that like very sharp looking, like flat brimmed
hat when he's walking around and.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
Like thee.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
Yeah, he definitely he's a flashy, snappy dresser. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
Did remind me.

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
I did get Jeff Goldbloom the Fly. That's a good comparison, okay. Lord.
He also said that Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
as the Joker was an inspiration for his take on
the creature, which I.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
Can't feel would stop saying that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I thought that was an interesting
comparison because I was like, wow, it seems like you
might have just pulled that out of your ass.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
That comparison.

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
He sucked at it. I feel like the characters theacters
of The Joker and Frankenstein's Monster Monster could not be
more drastically different. Yeah, so.

Speaker 5 (01:27:09):
Created me like that was the thing. It's like the
Monster was so like reserved and like like just collecting thoughts,
and I'm like, this is I wanted it unhinged, like
hmm what she does. He does violent things, but it's
just yeah, I didn't like the narration and I didn't

(01:27:30):
like hearing him.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
Think it was like, I just want a big fucking idiot. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:27:37):
I feel like in that point too, because he seemed
very like angry when he was looking for Victor and
the ice and then he gets on the boat and
then like all of a sudden he's there, and then
you think that he's going to go in and kill him.
And then he's like, oh, he told him your side
of the story.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Well, here's my side of the story.

Speaker 6 (01:27:54):
And I'm saying, I'm like, this is going to be
the climactic that they met inside of a boat.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Meanwhile, yeah, ah, these guys are out.

Speaker 6 (01:28:02):
There freezing their asses off, and you're just like, oh, well,
here's most out of the story, and you're like, yeah, okay,
let's I.

Speaker 5 (01:28:08):
Just was getting up because he just keeps throwing everyone.
I'm like, dude, like, rip someone's fucking hell, dude, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
Come on, really, I'm gonna rip thet good good segue though, cap,
because I was gonna ask what you guys thought of
the ending, the fact that the creature essentially just forgives
Frankenstein and lets him go and then goes off on
his own and does his his own Frandstein's monster.

Speaker 5 (01:28:31):
So I would have been sick, honestly if he killed
Victor again, that would have been that would have saved
the movie. I think I would should have gotten away.

Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
It would have been more in line with like the
the original, the original like movie.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Yeah, should have I mean dying anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:28:47):
So I think, and then they kill him, and then
they kill him. Then they're like, yeah, then they kill him.
But I think I think it's safe to say we're
not getting a sequel to this. I think, yeah, I think,
you know, I did see that. I guess del Toro.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
I'm glad he did do this, But at one point
he was talking about doing three different movies about this story,
so it would have been.

Speaker 5 (01:29:06):
Like a you know, a trilogy. Oh no, that would
have been too much. It's like so we've gotten We've
gotten the nose Faratu, which I didn't like. We've gotten
this franking sound, which it was like, fine, we got
an awful wolf man. Yeah, I didn't need a good
wolf man, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
The Wolfman is my favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
We already got a good wolf man. No, no, I
don't want a new one. That one wasn't twenty ten.
I know that was fine, but I want a new one.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
Well, I'm hoping somebody's dying me a gough.

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
Can you just say her name real quick for me?

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
Go it's not Jared Goff. I'm curious. I think she
knows that she's just playing me a golf. Oh my god,
g ot, oh god, it's like Joseph with an fos.

(01:30:11):
Oh god. Well, is there anything left to say about Frankenstein,
you guys, anything else that you want to talk about it?
I feel like it's been a pretty healthy discussion, very thorough. Yes. Cool.

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
So that's all I got.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
Yeah, bummer that you guys didn't like it more, I
really cared. It wasn't like, doesn't really do it for
you period pieces. It was like a recipe for kind
of me.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Not and a half hours and a half hours.

Speaker 5 (01:30:41):
Okay, that was like the icing on the cake for
me that I didn't feel that long, and I was
told I wouldn't feel.

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
That long, and I was like bullshit, and I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:30:52):
Not just by you, I my other buddies. I definitely,
I definitely told you he like gas.

Speaker 1 (01:30:56):
That was like sick. Where does it rank among Del
Toro movies for you guys, I can't even rank it.

Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
Mimics now towards the top, towards the bottom, The Devils,
Devil's backbone with a bullet, it's the top three.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
Yeah, I've only seen like three, Yeah, rank.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Yeah, this is my favorite of his. This is this
is my favorite movie that he's made, in my opinion.
Have you seen The Devils a long time ago? I
would need to watch it again. I just really remember
very much about it. I bet if you watch it again. Yeah,
I feel like I want to. I want to go
back and rewatch some of his stuff now, Like I
want to rewatch Mimic now, because that's a movie that
I also really like. Nightmare Alley I thought was also
very good, but a very different type of movie.

Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
So yeah, that was good, Yeah, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Yeah, mix Mimics a good monster movie. Good bug movie
worms worms baby, Well, that's true, Beatles, that's true. True cockroaches,
couca roches, the same family. I think so maybe six
legged racking insects with hard shells, baby hard shells, big
into Cox, Big Cox. And twenty eight years later, and

(01:32:06):
I think we've said all we can say at this point.
We're just spitting out words getting reactions. Well, guys, uh,
it's been good to have everybody back and have a discussion,
even though we all didn't like the movie as much
as everyone else, which.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Matter, I was gonna have to watch it at some
point anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
But we're much more comfortable.
