U A p s. I was very I didn't know
if you're talking about we ass puss or if you
were making fun of our Italian friends.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's what I was.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Saying, because I kin kind of did. AnyWho, we have
a full house again this evening. You've heard the voices
of all three of my coast. Let me introduce them
formally for you. I'm joined by everybody. Hello Andrew, Hello, Cat, Hello,
Matt UPPs. What's going on? How's everybody doing? Great? Great grape?

(03:51):
Just grape, grape, Army? Tell you? Tell you what I
love it? Oh strong, army, grape. Wow, tell you I
love to hear. Guys. We are we are doing one
more podcast for our year end top ten lists? Here, folks,
are we excited? Burning through your pants right now? And
then I think no, Cat's gonna have to do a

(04:12):
little bit of work burnings.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's a merin itting in your pants.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, pants, pants to pants, it's pants pants, pants, pants,
pants pants.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
You might call that a yeast infection. Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Well, well, I mean whatever whenever you whenever you hear
the word yeast, I mean immediately you think infection, which
is gross. But like, I don't know about you hear
the word yeast. It's not like the word bread or anything. No,
you're like infection immediately, like that's a baker. No even
unless you're day to day but no faces, No anyway.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Anyway, well, thanks thanks for filling the time that I
needed with that very awkward yeast conversation because I didn't
want to bring up a point in time is we
did not make a big deal about it this year.
We probably should have because I feel like five years
is certainly an anniversary worth celebrating. And we're recording this
on December twentieth, five short days before Christmas, and on

(05:22):
December seventeenth of twenty nineteen, five years ago. As of
this recording, we released our first episode out into the
Ether on Crampus.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
We didn't go to tea tonight.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
We did not go to tea tonight because it never
ends well. And also I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
It always ends well. I mean it doesn't end.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
It ends well, it ends it ends well.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Anyway, my point being, I'm not sure it ends. I
think we went to tea the night of the first podcast,
but I think we came up with the idea for
the podcast at Sushi Joy. I think it was No,
it was sushi Tea. I'm pretty sure I ordered the
first shitty microphone off of Amazon that we used for
the first like a couple of months on Amazon at

(06:08):
sushi joint in Plymouth calling place. Anyway, what I mean
to say is that I honestly can't believe it's been.
It's been some sorrowful numbers.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I love that song. Why are you guys singing that song?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
This? Butt rock? Absolutely, but I love it butt Rock
City Population.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
But I love Crossby.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
One of your favorite bands.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
You fuel Stained all day like breaking Benjamin. Yeah, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yes, goodness, I mean from someone wearing you are wearing
an I'm not procrastinating, I'm doing side quests sweatshirt which
only you could can see. That's actually pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
You take a picture posted.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Facebook. By the way, maybe you'll get tickets for your
birthday or some holiday. But uh, do you see Catherine
that Benjamin and Stained or touring together? Oh I'm going yes,
you can.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Go, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I was like, I'm totally going kid.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Rocks playing it pins though just a few short weeks No, I'm.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Would have gotten Oh my god, have you seen kid
He's I've seen him. He's great.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
He's like and he actually plays a ton of instruments,
like he's actually a talented like amazing artist slash entertainer.
He knows on it amazing non stop.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well that's his like, but I mean he actually he's
actually no.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
He doesn't. He doesn't. Kid Rock does not do side
quest kid rock. But the main story, yes, absolutely, just
because the breath give me all oh my homies in
the city and Cell Block six all that, what is it?
It's definitely meant there's a methlane there somewhere and with
the bay can't I can't do it off the top of.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
The fact that the.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Line I know is the bang bang that does?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
God knows why.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You want to he has a lot of bangers.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
You want to kind of forget.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I want to see kind of like how how good
kid rock live is his Google kid Rock Live from
Woodstock ninety nine. That's a hell of performance right there,
I will say. Loves his live music on YouTube. Sure
do Woodstock ninety nine baby before all everything went to ship.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
He pretends he's there. He's like, he really gets into it,
and he's like, I'm actually let.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Him enjoy rock. He deserves you play Hogwarts on p
S four. I watch live music on YouTube. Everyone has
everyone has their quirks and stimming things. Yeah, but anyway, again, Uh,
I can't believe it's been five years of the podcast.
Can't believe that we came up with the idea five
years ago and we're still doing it to this day. Yeah,

(09:08):
I don't necessarily think that. I thought that when we
started doing it back in twenty nineteen that we'd still
be doing it five years later, probably in a much
better fashion than we started out doing. I think we've
definitely improved, and we've obviously improved our sound quality thanks
to a new microphone, thanks and obviously to Shano. We've
also got obviously Matt in those five years, and wow,

(09:30):
I just can't believe we've been doing this for a
whole half decade.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, interviewed some really cool people, done some really cool stuff,
really done some cool live stuff, and it's just been
it's been a fun experience. And she has just still
been around up there. Sorry, we're watching a baby monitor
as a child is just not going to sleep while
we're trying to record this podcast. It's okay, she chilling,
she's all right, she's doing right. Guys. Five years and cheers,

(09:59):
I say to you, guys, hopefully many more. Hopefully many
many more. Cheers and cheers to you, dear listeners. If
you've we We also don't want to clink too hard
next to the microphone. But if you've cheer, it's meant
to be. If you've been listening to us, I should
say out there to us for five years for free,
or even if you're a new listener to or one,

(10:19):
thank you very much because people do still continue to
listen to us, which is amazing to me. It's it's awesome.
So we we have fun doing it and look at Nope,
haven't been canceled yet. Don't worry. We haven't finished recording tonight.
But yeah, and I'm excited, excited to kick off twenty
twenty five with doing some more podcasts and I cannot

(10:41):
wait to do our top ten of the year because
this has been a really great year for horror. There's
a lot of good movies to talk about. It might
be we see this year might be the best in No,
last year was not last year. This might be the best. Yeah,
even better than that. Yeah, this is probably really good.
I think it's really one of the better years we've
had since. Yeah. Well, guys, also, by the time that

(11:04):
this comes out and we're on the other se, Christmas
full of come and gone. So Merry Christmas to everybody
out there. It's listening if you celebrate our happy Honkah,
happy Kwanza, happy for the rest of us. Does it okay?
All right? Idea's not familiar with all the dates Christmas.
I thought it was like starts like the beginning of December. Brandon,
it's like.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
On your yamachas.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, I'm not going to tell all right, well, happy
holidays and happy Festivus to Christmas. Merry Chrismas hope Santa
Claus gives you, guys everything that you want and desire.
So guys, uh, I know, we obviously have a big
twenty twenty four episode coming up next. Does anybody have
anything they want to talk about that they've watched before
we get into tonight's movie. I do. I have a
handful of so we'll go last. Okay, Catherine, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
We watched Beetle Juice Beetle Juice.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yes, which I'm assuming might come up next episode for
you potentially, Yes, do you want to gives a brief
overview what you thought of it?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
It was good.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I I also watched it with Kat and I thought
it was good. I thought it was a pretty good
legacy sequel.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
It was actually a really I'd say it's a really
great legacy sequel because I know there's all of these
this is this kind of goes into the trend now
of all the remakes of the same things like Texas
chains On, Scream whatever. Now they're like, oh, Beatle, just Beatle,
just But actually this makes sense.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I think it is just a direct sequel.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
It is, and it's it is.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
It's a direct sequel made so this is the only
one that actually has like substance compared to all the
other ones that are coming out. They're like the Texas
chain Saw Sucky Masker and like stream you know, newbies
cell phones.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
It's so dumb.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
But anyways, like this, it's it's awesome and all of
the actors from the other one are awesome, Like everyone,
no one really ages like that. None of the characters
really deteriorate. They all give everyone really good It's great. Yeah,
I'm just gonna say it's it's really good.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, highlights for sure. Michael Keaton me, he's effortless as Beetlejuice.
He's really good in it. And honestly, I thought they
were going to over use him in this, and they
actually didn't. He's actually in it. If you watch the
first Beetlejuice movie, he's really only in it like total
screen time for maybe about fifteen minutes. I don't even
think it's up. I think Michael gave the top twenty
five actor of all the time. He's great, He's very

(13:24):
good as Beetlejuice again. Willem Dafoe great as always, so funny.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
I said to wait, who is.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Will Willy William Jenna good, She's very good, is in
most things? Win Ona Ryder is pretty good and obviously
is great as always. She's the best. And then also
I thought one of the most underrated aspects of the
movie is Justin Threau, who a lot of people might

(13:54):
know from the Leftovers. He was also in Mulholland Drive.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
He's a new character.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, he's a new character or in this he wasn't
in the original Beetle Juice. He just plays like such
a fucking weasly whiney slam ball. It's so good. Irreversible
Monica Balucci. Yes, oh she Yeah, she's good. So she plays.
I don't want to give away too much, but she
she is a character, a new character in the movie
that is uh seeking out Beetlejuice for past transgressions. Yeah,

(14:23):
she's good, very big time like Bride of Frankenstein vibes
coming from her. There's some really cool scenes and they
do just like it's all practical effects. There's some really
cool stop motion stuff like it's it's it's cool, it's
worth watching it. Check it out. It's yeah, it's It
will not make my top ten, might be different for
other people who shall remain nameless. We'll talk about it

(14:44):
more next week, I'm sure in depth. But yeah, yeah,
very gorgeous, Yes, very attractive, you know, yeah, really well.
I remember she was in her mid twenties and the
Irreversible that's do one wow fifty she looks good. Twenties.

(15:09):
I remember when she she was in the last Daniel
Craig Bond movie. And at the time sixty. They said,
she's sixty no way, Wow.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yeah, you watch her in this movie and you're like, gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I don't know she was married to she used to
be married to. I think she's French. She is French, Yes,
she tell yeah, but I was gonna say I lost
my train. Yeah, you're like, oh, but yeah, so she was.
She was in the last Daniel Craig Bond movie and
they said at the time she was the oldest woman
to be cast as a Bond girl ever. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Which one is that?

Speaker 1 (15:46):
No Time to Die or whatever the last one was.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
She is a knockout and irreversible and it sucks because
she has to play such a yeah, rough role in it,
but she she's gorgeous in that movie for sure.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Monica Bot, how are you Grazzi cool? All right? Who's
next or anything else besides beal Juice, Beetlejuice.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
No, I've watched a lot of great British show.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Andrew, so you can say new stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
I don't know if either one of them are going
to finish in my top ten. So I watched nol
con Cereal very good. I know you guys have both
seen that.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
That'll probably be brought up in the next episode. Yeah
yeah uh. And then I saw a Smile Too, which
was again continues to impress.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
The Smile franchise always just so much better than I
think it's going to actually be great cold open, great finish.
It was fucking what what my arms Smiles close, It's
like a cusper.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's like, right on.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
I mean, you have such bangers this year that it's
like borderline. Maybe it could make my way into make
its way into my top ten.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't think it's gonna happen though. Very good though.
And then I watched about twenty minutes of Abigail. That
movie sucks, Yeah you should. I have no desire. I
immediate I hate that movie immediately.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Wow, immediately immediately I put that on, I went, I'm
gonna kill myself.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's one of those movies when you I just know
myself and I know I'm not gonna watch it. I'm
just turning this off. So uh, but that's it. Okay,
everything I watched will probably come up at some point
next week, so I'll skip myself. Matthew, Yeah, I watch
I've been doing my Christmas movies.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
I watched, Uh, don't open until Christmas, which is actually
a good little twist on the Christmas slasher where instead
of a crazy Saanda killing everyone, it's somebody killing all
the Santas.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
But they see it's like very shallow inspired. It's like, yeah,
every part like a bingo card. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, podcasting that would be interesting, very funny.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
That sounds like if the Christmas episode of Always in
Philadelphia was turned to a horror movie where Charlie just
killed all the Santa Claus his mom.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, it's a little more serious, but yeah. The what
else I watched? I watched The Descent today just because
I just hate a banger, and and then I watched
a handful of new stuff. I watched Heretic, which is
very good. I watched Terrifier three again that was great.

(18:27):
I watched Red Rooms, which was fantastic, slow open. It's
about a twenty five minute core deposition scene that seems
to just be in real time, but it's important. It's
all in French. It's French Canadian movie. It takes place
in Montreal. Holy fucking shit is that movie for a

(18:48):
movie that shows little to zero on screen violence. It Uh,
it's fucked up. Okay, so I definitely recommend that. Other
than that just kind of you know, random ship here
and there that, uh again, just kind of Christmasy movies
and whatever else.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
But I watched Black Christmas. I watched uh, you know,
Silent and Deadly Night. Just nice. Yeah. So I threw
on Gremlins the other day. Didn't finish it quite yet.
That's gonna be finished itself. To do my yearly yearly
rewatch of Crampus. I'm not saying you, yeah, I don't know,
that's what every year guys, Home alone great obviously.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Great Invasion movie is a home invasion movie.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Anything else you guys want to get off your chests
before we jumping into Night's movie film.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, I I pulled an audible this week We're supposed
to do funny, and I started watching it. I watched,
I watched it the whole thing, and I was like, uh,
I'm gonna I just I feel like it just wasn't cards.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, it just it was too much. There's too much
going on.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
I feel like there's been a lot of like shitty
shit happening to people I know close to me right now,
and I'm like, this isn't really what I want to
go down. So because that's a bleak fucking movie. So
I figured I would switch it up and we have
to pick that we have Tonight's that cool.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
So that's why I felt recently about watching Christmas Fication.
It's like, hits too close to home and I'm.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Like, too many right, not that funny game takes too
close to home. It was just like there was just
so many like people are I know, are going through
a lot of stuff, and I.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Was like, I don't think I want to have this
kind of like negative Yeah, yeah, I think sure I
can understand. Okay, I eat some beach rats. Beach rats
maybe well beach rats. I'm sure that was a great segue.
All right, So we're gonna get in tonight's movie, but
first we're gonna take a little break here to word
hear a word from our quote unquote sponsors. We'll be
back in a short ninety seconds and talk to you soon.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Alright, we're back, baby, and thanks for sticking with us.
To that commercial break, and we are here for a
Matt pick this evening and agains. Matt already stated he
did call an audible and pivoted away from Funny Games,
which is a movie that I still have not seen.
You should watch it. I will watch it. I definitely
will watch it. Never see a Funny Games, either of them.

(22:23):
Never seen either Funny Games. Tonight's movie was a movie
I had also not seen, and it is called Messiah
of Evil, which is a nineteen seventy four American supernatural
horror film, co written, co produced, and co directed by
William Huke and Gloria Katz starred. Marianna Hill, Michael Greer,

(22:43):
Anitra Ford, Royal Dano, and Alicia.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Cook junior names related Paul. I'm not sure that's actually
a very good question. Is who is Royal Dana.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'd assume the king of Paul Dano's.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
I think he placed, okay, So he kind of looks
like plays Tom with an H Thomas all right, which
is weird?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
That interesting because he looks I think that's the I
think I spoke. By the way, so it's it's Willard
Huck and Gloria Katz. I think I said will William Yuck.
It's I mean, how would you it's h U y
c K. So let me say, look like like mister dank.
How about that? So, by the way, Uh, Willard Huck

(23:31):
and Gloria Katz or a husband and wife team. Uh.
They obviously co wrote, co directed, and co produce this movie.
As I just mentioned, they also wrote went on to
co direct, co write, and co produce Howard the Duck
m and Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom. So
after creating this movie and seeing it to the finish line,

(23:53):
they did in fact go on to some would say
Bigger Things. Also worked on What Wis? How would the
Duck also worked on American Graffiti, which is another movie
that came out this year, in nineteen seventy four or
nineteen seventy three. I think it might have been with
American Graffiti, which essentially is the Happy Days movie. This
is a deep cut, by the way, so and it's

(24:16):
a movie that absolutely should be on your radars as
a horror fan, which I'll get more into here, but
the plot follows a woman who travels to a remote
coastal town in California to find her missing artist father.
Upon arrival, she finds herself in the midst of a
series of bizarre incidents. That's all you should know going
into this. Go in blind other than that, and watch
it and come back to visit us afterwards. If you

(24:37):
haven't seen it yet, we'll be here, Pause and come back.
This is streaming right now on Shutter. Shutter continues to
be the best subscription that you can pay for for
the low amount of money at charges per month. I'm
afraid to say that out loud because just like everything else,
Shutter might raise its prices because there's a lot on shutter.
That is pretty awesome. They had a great year with
all their original stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, they bounced back after their little they had a
real least some people. A couple of years ago, everything
kind of got a little weird and then they're they're
working their way back up.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yep, I'm a Siah of Evil. By the way, also
streaming on tub because because of course everything is streaming
on tube also ye. Also, this movie has a one
hundred percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, eleven reviews so
positive on all eleven fifty seven percent audience score, which
I found to be interesting. I mean, I get it. Yep.

(25:26):
Budget was less than a million dollars and I was
not able to find any box office information. So with
that being said, that is a Messiah of Evil. I
think we can wrap it up and close this episode
of America's Hometown Hard down right now, right now, I digress.
I have lots of thoughts on this movie, but I
will give the floor to matt since this was his pick,

(25:47):
and I know this is one that he threw out.
I had never heard of, and I was pleasantly surprised
Matthew talk to us about Messia of Evil. My friend.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
So it's easy obviously to say, you know, I enjoy
a lot of Italian ror movies. This is a basically
an American version of an Italian horror movie, in my opinion,
has a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Of it.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
The same kind of vibes and everything and seventies horror.
It takes itself seriously and it kind of is just
as serious, very seriously. The thing I like about this
movie is that it is pretty pretty straightforward. It doesn't

(26:30):
really give you a lot of fat to deal too
through and deal with, Like you're you're kind of put
right into it. It's very it's a big time mystery.
You're also kind of like it reminded me a little
bit of like The wicker Man in a way that
you're kind of like, okay, like something's up, like something's
going on, and as the movie goes you kind of

(26:50):
get more and more of that. It has one of
the most anxiety inducing scenes I may have ever seen
in a movie, which we can get into a little bit.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I think it was so perfectly shot.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah, that it just it was The tension that it
builds is fantastic, and above all, I mean, every actress
in this movie is drop dead gorgeous, you have fantastic performances.
It's it's super underrated. This is a movie that you
definitely should go and watch. I don't think it's very long.

(27:23):
I think it's like and it's yeah, and it's it's
just a great, great movie. It's it's a George A.
Rameira movie that he never made, in my opinion, outside
of his dead films that like, you know, you look
at like Season of the Witch and you look at
the Crazies and Martin like it very much fits in
with that kind of group of movies.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
It's just yeah. I enjoyed it. I've watched it a
few times. I watched it for the first time this year.
I just got my.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Copy on Blu Ray a few weeks ago and I
watched it and that was kind of when I was like, actually,
you know what, let's do this instead.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
So I'm excited to see what you guys think and
I've into so let's do it. So I will take
a moment here to give you golf clap, Matthew, because
I loved this movie. I absolutely loved it. And when
I was watching it, I was kind of blown away

(28:18):
because I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know
anything about it, and I honestly think, you know, aside
from like the classics that you've picked that we've talked about,
this might be my favorite pick that you've given us
because I knew nothing about it. I had zero expectations
going into it, and I was kind of blown away.
I just feel like this is a movie that's very

(28:39):
much ahead of its time. There's a lot going on
here that a lot of new movies have borrowed from,
and I feel like a lot of the filmmakers that
made those movies would probably tell you if you asked them,
that this was a movie that inspired them to make
certain things. So like I would say, there are like,
there are a lot of people out there that are

(28:59):
kind of against older movies, and this one is definitely
like this is So it was made in nineteen seventy three.
Everything that I found it was actually released in seventy four,
so I'm calling it a seventy four movie, but I
mean somewhere in that range. So this is around the
time of like, you know, The Exorcist, the wicker Man,
the Crazies, that type of thing, And I admittedly am

(29:20):
not very familiar with a lot of horror from the
early seventies. It's just not something that I've dealt into.
Quite a bitsome gems dude. Yeah, but I would say
like it reminded me a lot of like the films
of David Lynch. So if you like David Lynch, where
it's very like dreamlike, yes, perfect perfect example, Mulholland Drive, right.

(29:42):
I think it's very love Craftian. It's also very Gothic,
so like it's almost kind of like a little bit
like an Edgar Allan Poe story. It's narrated by potentially
an unreliable narrator, so I think like the Telltale Heart
by Poe. That was one thing that I picked up,
and then like even some more current movies that I
think are inspired by this, movies like Silent Hill or

(30:05):
the video game series Silent Hill, or the movie or
there's a really good movie that came out in twenty
twenty two that I really liked a lot called Off
Season that was a lot like this. It's basically a
woman that goes to a ghost town essentially, and there's
all kinds of healthy stuff going on, people worshiping something
in the sea, so it's very love crafting as well.
But I just like movies where people go to these

(30:27):
like kind of ghost towns and it's kind of I
feel like, the whole time you're in this movie, you're
either in our letty's father's house or in Emptys or
on the beach or something like that. And I just
think that that's a very creepy way to do it.
Like the whole it's foggy the entire time, it's always dark.
The color palette and this the way they shot it,

(30:48):
like the color is very vibrant. Yeah, that's cool Italian. Yeah,
that's the Joha, that's the jallah thing. I can definitely see.
But I really like this a lot. And one of
the things I found refreshing, right, a lot of horror
when people go to search for things, Right, there are
obviously a lot of times going to like these backwoods, rural,

(31:09):
off the beaten path settings. This is not that. This
is like a coastal California modern almost like uppit eat yuppy.
Andrew said that to me earlier. I can see that
one as well, and I like that it was different
in that sense, not just a bunch of backwoods hillbillies.
It's a different type of scenario. This is like people

(31:30):
that are our teasts and yeah, exactly, it's like random
rich weirdos, which I find to be creepiest. You don't
meet any and yeah you don't really, you just you
just understand. You understand that that's where they are. And
it's like, yeah, for sure, And I like, there are
definitely some scenes I think in here that are incredibly memorable,

(31:53):
which we'll get it into in further depth. Andrew Cat,
you guys either you guys want to go first on
what you thought about the movie before we continue. Sure, yeah,
I am.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I have a tough time with like older movies.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
But so you're one of those I did.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
I don't know, it's just but this wasn't It wasn't
a bad movie, but it wasn't like it was just
a movie for me.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
It didn't really it didn't. I didn't like it, but
I didn't hate it like I would.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
I was like, okay, but it was I was constantly
the one thing that I felt like interested me was
I was constantly questioning, like what.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Was going on?

Speaker 3 (32:34):
And I was like, so these people zombies.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Like then they're eating thing And then there was a
lot of questions as I kind of went and there
wasn't really like a clear path.

Speaker 9 (32:46):
I would I would suggest when you do have a chance,
if you're looking for watch watch it again, okay, because
it's better on this like multiple watches, because you kind
of know what you have and when you see it again,
you're like, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
To be fair, When Cat and I watched it the
first time, we did have a pretty strong Saturday night
buzz going and we started watching it at like ten
ten o'clock at night. We finished it like after midnight.
I watched it again today and I like even more
the second time. Yeah, I liked I was.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I mean, I'm like, looking Wikipedia, I'm like, wait this
I was.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I was telling I was telling you when we were
sitting there. I was like, wow, this is like and
I was like, I was like live text you guys, like, man,
I'm sure you were probably doing it. I was like, dude,
this is really creepy. I was like, holy shit. I
was like this scene, that scene, like this is really
fucking good. And I yeah, I just left the second
doing I agree did improve it me.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
But I also had like since we watched we watched
it early in the week, and I like, I'm not
we already watched Beetles, Like we watched Beetles.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Just after that.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah, and I've had like a crazy week and I'm like,
what was that when guy watched that movie? Like I
was like, oh right, we watched that like really early
in the week.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Damn, yeah, what are we doing?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
What's the name of this movie?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, there was an abrupt schedule change on my end.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
No, but it just I just id crazy, Like I
never really watched movies that early either, and I usually
take notes.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
I didn't take that. Okay, I didn't do my homework.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
That's okay. You had it, Like did you had a
busy week? Dude? Yeah, okay, it's Christmas time. I know
it's all right, you're here.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
But I will say there was a lot of questions.
It was interesting though, like you kept my attention. It
wasn't like, oh trying this all off, this sucks, like
I just I mean I kept watching it being like
interested in working.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
It happened.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think somebody dies on screen with in
the first like sixty seconds. Yeah. Yeah, and it's it's
cold open. It just goes right right and just we'll
get into and we go to spoiler. Yeah. Absolutely, Andrew yeah,
like so that was saying a very Jallow inspired movie.
I was actually when I first put on the movie
and I was watching it, I was paying very close

(34:45):
attention to the mouths and the movements of the mouths
because it felt extremely like a foreign film, did not. Yeah,
I was waiting to see if it was dubs. I
was like, oh, it is is it? Okay?

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Actually?

Speaker 4 (34:54):
I'm not positive, But a lot of those kind of
movies in the seventies, that's what I was wondering, because
it says it's an American product, Okay, because I was
wondering that it is.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
But they still they still sometimes dubbed the audio. I
don't think it was.

Speaker 6 (35:05):
I don't think it was because I was hard and
I couldn't because I was like, this has to be
a foreign film and it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
And it.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
It's everything I like in that style of seventies horror movies,
like the Narrator and she was very You had her
dad and her narrating the whole movie, and it was
very well done and just added this other layer of
just dread throughout the movie. A lot of interesting scenes,

(35:35):
great some great character actors in this movie that really helped.
Very basic kind of story, like Mike said, very love crafting,
which I could feel, which I'd be interested to see, like.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Delve into. I don't know what like the deeper meaning
of this movie is, because I mean it's just it
could just be. It's pretty. I think it's just kind
of on paper what it is. It is what it is.
It's just very interesting.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
A lot of great sets, like they did a very
good like they took when they used that budget really
well because they the dialogue I thought was fantastic for
a movie of this nature you would expect usually cheesy dialogue.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I got a lot of fog. I got a lot
of fog vibes.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Well, one hundred year thing like in between and all that,
and the coastal town, the homeless guy, theomeless guy.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, it was very I mean completely different, very very full. Yeah,
very like a Dumbwich horror style YEP movie. It could be.
I also got I mean easy for me to get
Halloween three.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Vibes because it's just like a weird, complete completely not
even close to the same. But if you want to, like,
I'm sure this movie inspired Halloween three also probably inspired.
The fog came after this too.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (36:44):
Oh yeah, this is like a decade before both of those. Yeah,
so it's probably inspired both of them. Absolute babes, Like
you said, just babes. You had that weird creepy guy
just you know, doing just Charlie.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Oh yeah, we're just gonna hang out. No, you know
he was weird. No, that Charlie, Tom, he was creepy
as fuck. Who is the hobo? The hobo guy, Charlie.
I think that Charlie was creepy. Of course Tom girlfriends. Yeah,
and then he's like just and he's like, he's just
quote unquote traveling companions and he calls them a Portuguese

(37:19):
American aristocrat born in a castle in Portugal. And Weirdo
had some very subtle cheese in this movie, which I loved.
I love the subtle cheese.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
First opening scene, just the subtleness of that cheese was
so good.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
I was like I was laughing with in minutes. But
also horrifying opening to the movie, Absolutely horrifying. Fantastic, whoever
that guy was fantastic. This is an incredibly creepy movie.
Oh it's creep creep you kept me.

Speaker 6 (37:44):
It's one of those movies so limited dialogue limited action
in reality, like I feel like it's.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Limited in that but never ending.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
Just tenseness, just tense, it keeps Those are the type
of movies, the drumming, because it keeps my attention. That
keeps my attention. I don't need action, I don't need
an expansive dialogue.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
I just need to be constant, just this overwhelming.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
My heart's racing. I love peoples. It's the it's the
constant beings.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
What's that? Yeah, what's next? Someone is constantly being pursued.
And I love the narration.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
I love that aspect, which I don't think you get
enough of in horror movies anymore.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
After the opening scene where the girls walking down the
hallway and she's kind of speaking out loud and she
lets out that scream at the end of it, that
gives me that is a that reminded me of like Possession.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yes, yes, so it just it has that Yeah, I
had like I was like it was like late and
I was like, oh, by the way, before we continue,
I want to tell you guys too. So they are
playing Possession at the Alamo Draft House in Boston in Anyuay,
So yeah, just saying it's like a true pup They

(38:59):
might have different they might have Possession themed popcorn, the
Possession theme. Maybe you never know what the album you know,
what's kind of slimy Possession?

Speaker 7 (39:07):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (39:08):
What was I gonna say? I lost my train of thought,
but I completely forget. We were talking about how the
opening narration and oh yes, yeah, so I'm not necessarily
the biggest fit of movies that are narrated. So when
this started off with this, I was like like, Okay,
let's see where this goes. And the payoff at the

(39:29):
end is phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
Yeah, you're taking you're getting basically diary entries, yes, from
somebody who is now somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
And I love that all the characters are reading it too,
not all the characters, but Tom's ringing it. She his
daughter whatever, I can't remember, Yeah, it's she's reading.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
And they're just they're just so enveloped in this story
that they're like, we're not going to leave, even though
you're like, get.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
How many things you need to have happened? And then yeah,
it's just because movies you'll tell you no, I know,
but that's what makes it that builds that.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
But then that house, his house is so I was
like dude. So the narration. The narration is another thing.
It's very lovecraft, very pope when the story is narrated
by someone that you don't know if they're actually telling
the truth or if like what what the deal is?
But I had like what I had down like it
was creepy and dream like the first thing when I

(40:25):
saw the murals in ar Letty's father's house, Wow, is
that weird? Holy ship? Because that's the characters, that's the people.
I don't know. That's very weird. And obviously when you
first see it, you don't hate it like an escalator,
It's like I'm all, like, what the is going on? Yeah?
Like that was definitely threw me off because again that
feels that feels like something that should not have been

(40:47):
made in nineteen seventy three. It feels like so something
that could be made now, Like I feel like this
is how is this movie not been remade? Like it's
a It was a husband and wife team, remember anything else?
Willard Willard Willard Hyuck and Gloria Katz Howard the Duck.
Howard the Duck had Duck with Hits and they also

(41:14):
they also they also they also co wrote American graffiti,
and they later went on to go to co Write,
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Do. So they went
on to bigger, bigger and bigger things American I've never seen. Yeah,
that's the Happy Days movie Yesday. But obviously like so okay,

(41:37):
so like, uh, what's this is gonna drive me? And
remember her father's name? Okay, Well, so the father is
the artist and she's basically looking for him. Now it's
not it's it's not Shaeffer, but the house is very creepy. Also,
the scene when she walks into the hotel room with
Tom his two traveling companions, Bomb and Charlie the hobo,

(42:00):
and he's talking about the blood moon and the arrival
of a dark stranger after one hundred years.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
Like that is.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Ripped out of a David Lynch movie right there, Like
that is that. I was like, what the fuck is
going on here? And then she leaves the hotel room,
she goes down the steps and he just grabs her
and he's like, I'm just an ugly old man. I'm
not gonna but I'm not gonna hurt you. Yeah, I
know about your dad. Let me talk to you about him.
And and then so see the Dark Stranger her dad. No,

(42:32):
so you never actually find out who the Dark Stranger is,
but I think that there's strong, strong implication that it
might be Tom. I feel like it's him because her dad,
because he shows up, he knows all about him.

Speaker 6 (42:45):
You're not gonna gonna have to burn him alive. You
can't bury him in the ground, like he is the
Dark Stranger. Wait, wait that he tells him you have
to kill your dad. You have to burn him. You
can't bury him, right, But I think that's everybody in
the town though.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
It's wide consciousness amongst all who is the Stranger Tom?

Speaker 6 (43:08):
I thought for a second Tom was because there's that scene.
I think it's towards the end where you see him,
and I'm like, is that Tom? I kind of assume
that the Dark Stranger is just the devil?

Speaker 1 (43:20):
So I did read. I did read that there is
a cut scene with the dark the Dark Stranger that
is played by the same actor that plays Tom. So
it might have just been a dream sequence type thing,
or it could have meant something else. Yeah, that was
also very creepy. What else was I just gonna say,

(43:44):
I keep losing my god damn train of thought. But
I also I liked that they tied in that the
dark Stranger was someone that was left over from the
Daughner party that came over to California, which I think
is one of just inherently one of the creepiest true
stories from American history. You know, people just going west,

(44:07):
getting lost, freezing to death, dying each other in search
of better war like whether cannibal zombies whatever they are,
And I like that they left an ambiguous say, they
left it ambiguous as to what actually is going on
with the cult, right you kind of get an explanation,
but are they zombies? Are they vampires? Are they demons? Like?
What is it? You don't actually specifically find out because

(44:28):
remember I when you texted initially about this movie, you said,
like it's it's a little it's a zombie type movie,
and I was like okay, and I didn't I almost
thought they were vampires the whole time.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
They're like undead, yeah, Like I think that's really the
best way to describe it.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
I just they're all old. It's just all old people.
You have that like one like albino guy, yep, yeah guys.
And they're they're all dressed impeccably right, all wearing suits,
wearing suits or staring up at the moon. Yep. Yeah,
that scene where I forgot her name. The brunette goes
to leave, She's like, I'm leaving, Like, she's like, I'm

(45:03):
done with this. This is bulls in the supermarket for
some reason.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Yeh.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
She goes terrifying. She she she gets pissed up by
the albino guy.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
Yeah, and all the people are in the back of
that like kind of like like farm truck, clearly dead, yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Just staring up there.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
They were still alive. And she dude takes the bite
out of the beach rat. Yeahs. And that's when she
was called, like what the fuck? When she gets out
and kind of like dips off into the supermarket to
just kind of she follows. So she chases somebody. Yeah,
why are you chasing? He's looking at like she's like,
what is going on? She's trying to figure out.

Speaker 6 (45:38):
But if someone if someone's staring him, they go into
a building, are you gonna go I want to chase
that person?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
You're just gonna go I'm just gonna go my own.
I'm getting the funk up. Well, I don't know if
she yeah. I mean at that point that girl was
cut for different cloth because she witnessed that albino guy
bite the head off and just and she was just like, well,
I'm gonna get out of the truck.

Speaker 6 (45:58):
Because of the the cold open scene where that guy
is standing there getting the gas. But when she first
arrives at the gas station and the gas then is
just shooting into the woods and she's creepy.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Wouldn't if I if I pulled this so much like
I'm gonna fight I don't know guy, And she's like,
what are you shooting?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
He's a stray dogs.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Well, everybody is every I think that's the whole thing
is that everyone is like this and there's no real
like rhyme or reason to what they're doing, and there's
no reason for them to explain what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
But that guy pulls back and he sees the dead
bodies and he helps her. Yeah, he was like he
was just like like, I'm not trying. That reminded me
of like the hills have eyes. You know that that
old gas station guy is like kind of being with everybody,
but he wasn't. That's the albino guy, right, the albino
guy was at the gas station with another guy that

(46:53):
was pumped so crazy.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Yeah, and then what a great actual I did enjoy
the other character, the other girl that is with Tom,
the younger one.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yeah, so the movie, the movie theater scene is the
best movie, the best part of the whole movie. Yeah,
that's an A plus.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
The best part of that scene is how does she
have so much popcorn in the smallest popcorn box?

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Well, that's the thing I want to talk about this
because the way that this scene is shot and goes
kind of through, it's long, it's it's drawn out, and
you're kind of wrapped into this like western movie trailer
that she's watching, and it's intense, it's loud, it's it's boastrous,

(47:41):
and there's a lot going on, and it kind of
keeps going back and forth between you see what she's
watching and you see her walking, and there's like a
few people in the crowd, and there's like a little.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Old lady who's kind of like chilling, like knitting a
scarf or something, and you're like.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Okay, she acts like the other people there, but like she.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Looks normal, yes, like she's just kind of mining her
own business. And I think that's where you see her
like kind of being like okay, like this is that's
a comfort zone that this lady's here, like she's normal.
But you have that one guy who's sitting right in
the front road who just like turns back and stares,
and so they do this really cool thing.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
And this is where I was like, Wow, this is
fucking stressful me too.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
And it's her sitting she's right in like the dead
middle of the theater in terms of seats, and she
is locked in on this like movie trailer or whatever
it is and movie act. It might be a movie,
but it's like it's a very there's a lot going on.
It's loud, and every time it'll keep showing you that,
and then it goes back to her, and there's like
you see like one.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Guy come in. One there's two doors on the left
and the right. One guy comes in, another person comes in,
and they're all just kind.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Of filing in and sitting around her, not directly next
to her or even directly behind her, but just kind
of filling in the seats behind her. And it just
kind of keeps going and going and going, and like
it's like every like three seconds there's more and more
people coming through this door and she doesn't realize and
you're seeing it, you see who they are. You're like,

(49:15):
these are the fucking people that were in this guy's truck. Yeah,
and then the albino guy comes in and like it's
just and before you know it, there's fucking forty people
sitting behind her and you're like, and it just happens
so fast, and it's so it's so quiet to her, ye,
like or she's enthralled with the movie. She's very unnaive

(49:37):
character in general. I think she's supposed to be. It's
kind of like young, like maybe like eighteen, nineteen, twenty
years old.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Yeah, yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
You just, dude, it gets to the point that you're
watching and it's just like one after the other is
just like the door opens, the door closes, the door opens,
the door closes, like people are just coming in and
you're like, holy fucking shit, dude, Like it is it
just without doing really much of anything at all, so
creates such a tense and scary scene an environment, and

(50:08):
it might be it's got to be one of the
best executed simple scenes in a horror movie I've seen.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Building dread.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
Then you get the one person says next year, and
then she realizes that the other person's and she looks
over their eyes are just bleeding, and then she goes
even it's the same thing as the supermarket where everything.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Everyone she runs and she opened. They're clumbing over the
scenes and everything. So it gave me like an evil
dead field. When she's her arms wide up in the
air when she's getting I was like, oh, I see that,
which this came before you. Yeah, so I feel like
they took probably from that.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
That particular scene might have been one of the creepiest
scenes I've seen in the horror movie in quite a while.
And I was watching it and I was just like,
holy fuck, like this is great. It was the dude.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
It's literally it's just that juxtaposition of being like, you're
getting this movie, this cowboy western, and then her and
then you're just seeing all these people file in and
it is just so bizarre. You don't know what's going on,
like you are like you're completely left out of control
of what's happening.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
This is why I sit at the back of movie theaters. Yeah,
that's what I thought the same.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Well, no, because you don't go in through the background.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Are you in modern movie theaters.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
No, I know, yes, I know, but I mean I
haven't been to a movie theater where you going through
the background.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
It it's just that scene is just it's so well done.
It's perfect. Yeah, So it was funny. After we watched
this movie the first time. The next day, I texted
my dad and I was like, Hey, have you seen
Messiah of Evil from nineteen seventy three? And my dad's
not a big text for this, writes back No, And

(51:50):
I was like, Okay, my dad loves seventies and eighties hard,
and I was like, you know what, I was like,
this type of movie that you would love hear my
shutter loggins, you should watch it because I feel like
I always recommend stuff to him it's newer, and he's like,
that sucked. That was stupid. He just typical guy, like
in his sixties now he loves the horror genre. But
everything I recommend to him, he's like, that sucked. Right.

(52:13):
I was like, this movie he probably it's like Andrew
with Abigail and watched like twenty minutes. He's like, this
is funched Fox News, you know, but love your dad,
by the way, But anyway, I said this to him,
and I hope no, my dad, my dad. Yes. I
was gonna say, who's said as in my dad? Yes, yes,

(52:36):
So I'm not doing sid I'm side quest side question today.
So I hope he watched it. I sent him my
shutter logins. No, no, no, he didn't watch it yet,
but I highly recommended it to him, So I hope.
I hope he does.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
I thought you're gonna tell that he watched it and
like his opinion and everything.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
No, but it was just it's a type movie that
my dad would love. So that's why I sent it
to him. That's what I'm saying. That's that's my story.
I'm sticking to it. Great story, cool, thank you, I
appreciate watch it. So anyway, just while we're on the
movie theater scenes, I feel like that kind of bums
me out because I feel like everyone I know, nobody

(53:14):
I know, watches any movies ever. Yeah, than you guys.
It's like so fucking gay. Like to be honest, it's
literally the worst. Well, everyone watches like Marvel movies. No, no,
they don't even watch anything. Well, everyone watches TV, Like Craig,
you should watch this. Craik doesn't watch anything. I tell Seth.
Set's like, I'm watching fucking Young Sheldon like that's terrible.
Stop that watching. He was he's and he's like Christine likes.

Speaker 6 (53:37):
He's like, no, I'm I'm like what young like stop it,
Sarah right now? Yeah, but like nobody watches movies. And
then I tell Troy about movies. He's like, that's disgusting
about how I'm like, you guys.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Are the worst, dude, Troy actually does. Troy used to
text me asking for horror movie recommend it, but now
every time I recommend anything to me, he goes, this
is I'm like, you're I know, we'll see that's what
you do. I don't know any I think he stopped
texting me asking for recommendations after I told me should
watch In a Violent Nature with the yoga kill and

(54:09):
he was like, oh my god, what was that? Well.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
I also tried to get him to watch Terrified or no,
not Terrified when evil lurks and he had like I forgot,
like he had his dog.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Had to be put down because I bet somebody was
like I was like, oh I forgot about that. Sorry,
yeah my nad oops, But yeah, I don't know anybody.

Speaker 6 (54:30):
No one want like I tried to get Craig to
go see Interstellar with me in Imax because I was like, oh,
I'd love to see that movie in imax because I
love that.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
I don't want to throw off. Did you see Christopher
Nolan just got knighted? Christopher Nolan is gonna get domed?

Speaker 4 (54:47):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
You sure? I just saw the dome that before we
move off the movie theater scene. Did any of you
guys by chance at the opportunity to listen to that
segment from Radio Rental that I sent you guys in
about that was like for us to listen to if
you wanted to, So basically I will. So this movie

(55:07):
reminded me of that particular story, which is like fifteen minutes.
And Radio Rental in recent seasons hasn't been that great.
This most recent season I thought was very good return
to form. But it's a story about it's modern times,
obviously not in nineteen seventy three, But it's a girl
who goes to a play at her college for a
course she has to go to these plays, and she
goes to a play. She's sitting like dead center at

(55:30):
this play, and this creepy guy comes in and sits
like at this like he seks next to her. Yeah,
he talks to her like in the lobby, and then
he follows her into the theater and sits next to
her on one side, and he's asking her all these weird,
like random questions as being a total creep, and then
all of a sudden, this woman comes in and sits
on the opposite side of her, in like right next

(55:53):
to her, and starts asking the same question very niche specific,
and she says, it's like it's almost like they were
both reading off of a script, so they continue to
be weird. The guy says, I'm going to the concession stand,
which you popcorn? It's on me. She says no, thanks,
which is smart move. Girl comes back with two boxes

(56:16):
of candy that she says look like they're opened. He
offers her some candy, she says no. He doesn't take
any of the candy and then puts them under his
seat and doesn't touch them for the rest of the
entire play. She's sitting so close to them that she
sees and the guy's phone is in his lap facing up.
She sees it light up and it's a text from

(56:36):
an unknown unsaved number and it says, she's cute. Do
you think she'll do? And she saw it quick and
he saw that she saw it, and he pulls them away.
N then he looks over at the woman. She's over
at the woman, and her phone lights up with a
text back from an unsaved unknown number saying, yes, So

(56:57):
these people are like texting each other about this, probably
trying on the opposite side. It's It was a very
creepy story. I thought seemed like it was like a
trafficking type situation, like very fucking weird. You think they
were just trying to have sex, but I don't think so. No,
it was very strange. If you listen to it, you'll
get at the vibe that I'm talking about. But she
was at a play. She was a play, and there
was nobody else.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
It was.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
It was a people, a ton of people. But these
aren't like she was. They weren't a college students. They
were like two adult people, like just sitting next to her. Yeah,
but they're like older adults, so old people. Yeah, I
thought it wascessarily old, but not twenty. You don't think
they were just trying to find a unicorn. I don't
know what you mean. It's a couple trying to bang

(57:37):
a fucking like a threesome. I didn't get that vibe,
did you know? Yeah, because you listened to it, you said, right,
I thought it was one of the stories they found show.

Speaker 6 (57:45):
So you're going, based off of the person that's in
the situation, probably going this is creepy, when in reality
it's just too forty people trying to pay this person.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
I mean maybe, but like it's just the if you're
getting it from the girl's point of view and no
matter what, it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
Yeah, but then also like, but also what are they
trying to drug her with candy? Is that the thought? Yeah? Yeah?
Or he was just trying to see if she like
the After the play was over, she basically went out
to the lobby and they knew her name and she
give them her name. Like it was just very very story. No,
she just she she found one of her friends in
the lobby and walked her home.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
And that's like when you guys go see Wicked by
yourself and like, I'm not going to the movie here
by myself, out of.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Your patty going to the Kingston Collection to see.

Speaker 5 (58:33):
I don't think this is gonna no, no, no, because
if I got to like a bar or restaurant somewhere
by myself, there's other people there, like other people would see.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Or I suggest theaters are going to Oh let me
go in a.

Speaker 5 (58:47):
Dark place by myself where someone could sit directly behind me.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
That I have no idea And no, it's like, no, no,
no way, I don't think.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
In your hood.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
I don't think that's happening at the Kingston. The whole
reason kidding me, I highly don't. I mean, you never know,
you never know. I can't be too careful these days.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
I'm not going somewhere in the dark by myself, period,
no matter movie theater, forrest, car outside, different anyway, I'm
not going to the I would not go in that
room and showed the door for ten minutes by myself.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Photo there. The whole reason I brought up that that
radio rental segment was because at the very end, before
she realizes what's going on, the girl in the movie
theater in this movie, there are two people, a man
and a woman, that walk and sit directly next to her,
and they both start bleeding out of one eye. And
I was like, this is so creepy because I literally
just listened to a radio rental story somewhat like this.

(59:45):
Obviously they're I'm trying to traffic her the trend.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
Well that's when she realizes and when she looks behind
me there's that guy that was eating beach.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Yeah she didn't know that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
But and then she gets out like kind of so casually,
but like she's like scared, and then she.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Goes the doors. The doors are locked, yeah, and then
they just well, yeah, that iconic seems.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
The arm up is so like it is, so I'm like,
that is too identical to that, like like the like
the like the cover, like they fucking took.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
That they add to him. That was the first thing
I thought of when I said, I was like, that's
such a good scene. Blood all over our arms like
that movie. Either way, the movies well before his time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Would you say there are more zombies or cannibals?

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
I mean, because then you're like there's definitely some sort
of like they're like undead, but they're not like flesh
eating brains because because they're not bringing they all are
except for the albino guy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Yeah, he's driving, he's having a conversation and he doesn't
he doesn't just it's almost like is he the but
it has like the harbinger the moon.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
Okay, so that's what I was get that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
When that into whatever you get into like whereof Yeah,
but so so they're all staring at that.

Speaker 6 (01:01:12):
So they're all, so is he like the ren Field?
I don't know because they're all staring at the question
and he's driving and yeah, like instead of if he
was an actual he would have just stopped, and instead he's.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Just he's trying.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
He's just trying to like trying to rope everybody in Yeah,
and he's like did you look at the moon to
that he's like the red Field kind of yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
So can you say I love that guy?

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Okay, I just sunk him.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
But you said.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
So, I guess, And it's what what are they are?

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
They they're not zombie. If there's talking about the moon
and they're not bomb, I would call it like a cult.

Speaker 8 (01:01:52):
Yeah, But then so.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Does that mean that it is only during phases of
the moon that they are like that? So then other
times do they just kind of I think.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
That's when they're the most like active, I'd probably say, okay,
but like when the moon with the whole thing with
the moon is like that seems to be what kind
of brings other people into whatever the fuck there, because
they have like.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
An entire grocery store, and you'd.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Think that if there's nobody else. I also think that.

Speaker 6 (01:02:19):
It's it's also been one hundred years, so it's it's
not just the moon, it's the one hundred year moon
of when this first.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Then they roped in.

Speaker 6 (01:02:26):
They've probably been normal throughout this entire time because the
cops acted like nothing was different. They were like, oh,
you need to get out of this town, and they
were fine, you don't like and then all of a sudden,
they were like shooting.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
I'm like, what the fuck? Like, get these people? Like?
So I think that the one hundred year moon basically different.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Yeah, get well.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
And then they all came home and they were like,
we're gonna eat everybody. That was also a creepy part two,
the fact that they are clearly trying to fake her
father's death and she immediately recognized that it's not her
father based on the hands. That was pretty cools. Fine,
he's looking for some leave him alone.

Speaker 5 (01:03:07):
Presenting the spooky hondogobiotis Hello, otis.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
All right, where are we?

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Where are we? We are in your basement. That's good,
but we were just talking about the blood red moon,
like the hundred year moon.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
So what are they They're just I think they're just
that whole explanation that the homeless guy gives is like
pretty pretty important to yeah, and like you have that
and he's just like a drunk guy, but like he's
kind of like like this is a good point that
you brought up Halloween three because you have Tom Atkins

(01:03:47):
find that other drunk guy who starts talking ship about
like the Shamrock Company and.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
The you know what I mean. So it's kind of
like similar to that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
There's as all these movies back then have this like
one drunk guy that just like was right, you gotta
have the drunk guy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
Like for even Friday of the thirteenth, it's like the
old guy. He's like it's a death curse and herself
makes it scarier when a drunk guy is just like
telling you this.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
Is because well it's easy to write off like that
guy's And then and then she goes back, but then
that's what saves her in the end, and she goes
through it with her dad there and she's like, oh,
this is she's remembering what the fun? And then it's
interesting to see everybody else kind of succumb to and
then she just stabs. She's like, well, then he starts
leading out of his ear, like you know what I mean.

(01:04:35):
So you kind of see that like everyone else is
already like I guess we're locking by like infected.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Yeah, so possessed. Well when they look, when they both
look at the moon and through the picture, I'm like Jesus,
like it's like a picture of like the red moon. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
I can do better, and they can give just like
an actual picture of the moon, just like this cutout,
this carbon cutout, like like a red light behind.

Speaker 6 (01:05:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
And I remember the name of the town. No point Doom,
Doom Doom. No, it's d U. I checked it. It's
d U. M point doom as well point Doom. Ok. Yeah,
let's see. Premiered in Paris, Texas, in December eleventh, of

(01:05:22):
December eleventh, Excuse Me of nineteen seventy four, first appeared
in la in April of nineteen seventy five. Messiah of Evil. Yes,
yeah the movie. Yay. Yeah, So here's here's a big
piece TRIVIU. So, Matt, you mentioned that this feels like

(01:05:44):
a Romero film, so it turns out this was might
have been semi intentional. It was released under several alternate
titles in the following years, such as Return of the
Living Dead, Revenge of the Screaming Dead, and Night of
the Damp. The film was involved in a dispute in
nineteen seventy eight over its title when a Chicago distributor

(01:06:06):
released it under the title Return of the Living Dead.
Obviously that was another movie, right, another good movie. The
title was chosen to make it sound as part of
the Living Dead franchise, and this was misleading. Obviously. The
Laurel Group also known as the Laurel Entertainment Group, founded
in nineteen seventy six by George Romero and Richard P. Rubinstein,
took legal action against the use of this title. So

(01:06:29):
they definitely titled it and wanted to make it feel
like it was part of the Romero Living Dead series,
when in fact it was not. So I thought that
was very interesting, Yeah, weird right in Yeah, I mean
I feel like it's a good movie in its own
merit without having to Rome films. I don't find it
to be that similar.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
I actually find it to be more similar to one
of his more unknown films called Season of the Witch.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
That's the same actress. I don't think she looks very
similar though, No, it's not. That's a wild movie, the
Season of the Witch. Yeah, it's out of the boat,
like like in the harbor, like the guys. She goes
on like that guy's boat and she like seduces him. No,
it's like a lady who's kind of having like a
mid life crisis on a boat. No, in her house.
I'm on a boat. I'm on my boat. I don't know,

(01:07:16):
look at me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
I'm on a motherfucking boat on a boat. But she
has like a midlife crisis and kind of like is
turning towards.

Speaker 7 (01:07:26):
Her.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
Yeah, I thought I was on a boat. It's a
trippy movie. It's cool, though. Play is a good double
feature with this.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
This the Sentinel would be another really good one to
play as a double feature with this.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
No, but it's another one that it's like a model
like moved to like a boundstone apartment and starts like
kind of seeing weird ship in her building and realizes
that she's kind of being groomed to be like the
next like leader of their little weird cult thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
Okay, I haven't watched that one in a while. I
have to. I have to give that another viewing.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
That was one of the first Blue rays I bought
when I started upgrading and collecting nice The Sentinel Noise.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
So you own this one on Blu ray, right man, Yes,
just got it. I'd be very interested to watch some
of the special features on this movie.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
The one I have has a few I didn't There's
like a really cool like box Yeah, there's like a
really cool like box set that came out this year.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
That I I didn't get that version.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
But this one still has a few things I don't
really end up checking into, like the special features and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
You don't I should, I could, I don't know. I
just I don't not have.

Speaker 5 (01:08:37):
When I have DVDs, I don't have. I don't think
I have a single Blue Blu ray. If it is
it's Andrew's Interstellar.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
I think I think we gave that back to something.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
But the boutique releases that do all these new horror
Blue rays now, they do have a lot of special features,
and there's been like a few that I've like kind
of like entertained the idea.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
But at the end of the day. It's just I
don't have the time. I'm like, I'm lucky enough to
like watch the fucking movie and be unbothered. So I'm like,
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
I don't, like do you know when like Dodgeball the movie,
the DVD and Dodgeball they tell you in the special
features if.

Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
Whenever Ben Stiller snaps, if you hit a button a
secret scene within the movie. Within the movie, though, like.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
As you're watching it, that's what's such character's name of
that movie? Not tug Speedman, that's that's Tropic thunder h
what's his name? Global Jim? Uh yeah, oh crap, clam
hole of Flair. I know, I know he's like he's like,
it's like a white white goodnight.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
And then the girl from Dude is the name?

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
I know? Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
Is that crazy? I'm like, you're you're the girl from
Hay Dude, like.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
Matt's young. That's right. You do the show on the
Early about a bunch of teenagers that work on a
dude ranch. That's what it's called. Hey, what's so, what's
the guy? Uh like Goodman? But what's less less less?

(01:10:17):
Uh less Grossman? Let's Grossman. Yeah, it's like white Goodman
less Grossman. Literally something your own face, great character, so good,
that's good. Justin long, just long, that's great. Just and
I was speaking of that. I almost watch Cheaper Scoopers
today and I believe it. Yeah something.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
That girl.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
She's from the Brady Bunch. Yeah, pretty much movie. Oh yes, yes,
mars Marsham Marsha. She gets hit in the face with
the football way Matt, I know it was a little
before your time. You want to watch some nightmare fuel,
go on YouTube and research the Zeke the Plumber episode
of Hey Dude. Oh that's a really wow, holy fu.

(01:11:11):
I actually remember that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
I can't believe you just said that, and.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
I was like, oh, incredibly creepy. It's an incredibly creepy,
like five minute dream sequence from one episode of Hey Dude,
and it scarred a million between are You Friendly Dark
and Hey Dude, Dude? All kinds of rocco and fucking
a lot of running stimpy too.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
There's a lot of wacky ship that was out there,
and then it was deemed okay to watch.

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
I remember Hey Arnold had some like really fucking creepy
episodes that was like more my probably speed.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
The Train. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, that was scary
at ship. Yep, when when they go to the island
with the caves. I I forgot about that one too. Yeah,
hay Ronold was dude. Yeah, I could talk about nineties
Nickelodeon all day.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
But oh we could have a ninety episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
We are honestly probably could we could. There's a lot
of creepy shit on there. We can talk about Zeke
the Plumber, we can talk about are your Friend with
the Doc? Yes? Please? Let's see what else do I
have here? Messiah of Evil? So technically this is listed
as a nineteen seventy three movie, even though it wasn't
even released until nineteen seventy four, So I do have
nineteen seventy four horror highlights here. There's one, sorry, not

(01:12:25):
just seventy seventy three horror movie. There are several big ones.
There are some big ones, the Crazies from George A. Romero.
It's okay. Yep. We also got a movie I've not seen,
but when I saw the actors, I definitely want to see.
It's called The Creeping Flesh and it stars Christopher Lee
and Peter Cushing. Anyone's seen it, I own it. You
own a box set yeah, I don't watched it. Yeah, okay,
he's never seen it. I think it's a hammer hammer.

(01:12:49):
Possibly Chris really loves his hammer. Possibly the krem de
la Creme not only of nineteen seventy three, but possibly
the seventies as an entire decade, and that would be
William Peter Bladdie and Willie Friedkin's The Exorcist came out
in seventy three. We also got a movie called The

(01:13:10):
Legend of hell House, which is based on a book
by Richard Matheson, which I believe, Matt you read recently. Right,
I'm reading it. I've been unable to really commit to reading.
It's a good book. I have the movie on its
way via the USPS. Richard Matheson one of the most
under rated sci fi and horror writers of all time.

(01:13:32):
He wrote several episodes of The Twilight Zone awesome, creepy
scary stories, wrote I Am Legend, which don't buy into
that bullshit Will Smith movie of that dumb sequel that's
coming out. The original stories way way, way, way better.
Also in nineteen seventy three. I'm sure I skipped over
a bunch of deep cuts that Matt knows, but I
had Westworld, which is the original movie based on the

(01:13:53):
Michael story. It was interesting. The show was interesting until
it wasn't. Yeah, the first season was very and of
course we've covered the exist in the show. But another
movie that we've covered on this podcast courtesy of another
Matt pick, would be The Wickerman, yet another Christopher Christopher Lee.
I don't even remember doing that. Yeah, I was fucking

(01:14:13):
hanged up, Chris. You know we released it. I think, Yeah,
I have to go back and see how fucking stupid
drunk I was on that one. You kind of fell
off for the end, I think you. I think I
just gave up. Yeah, you gave what happens to the
best of us on certain occasions. And I love The Wickerman.
It's perfect fucking movie. Christopher Lee. That yeah, yep. Nineteen

(01:14:38):
seventy three at the box.

Speaker 6 (01:14:39):
This is like his like hating by the way sixties
and early seventies for Chris Le chrisly.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
Biggest movie at the box office nineteen seventy three, The
Exorcist one hundred and ninety three million dollars. Release The
Day That's Crazy in in nineteen.

Speaker 6 (01:14:56):
Seventy three at one hundred and ninety three million that's
so that might be adjusted for inflation.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
I'm not at door scenes about rights. It might be. Yeah,
why would the why would they adjusted for inflation? I
don't know. I'm not sure. One hundred and ninety three
Jones at number two. By the way, another fantastic movie,
The Sting one hundred and fifty nine mil. Gene Hackman,
can hack Yep, No, it's that's raw. It's not Gene Hackman.

(01:15:24):
It's what's his fucking name? Robert Redford? No, what sting?
Come on the Sting? Oh, it's fucking Paul Newman. I
think Rob Refords in that movie too. Let's see, Yeah,
it's it's it's Paul Newman, Robert Robert Shaw, Paul Newman,
Charles Derning, Robert Redford, Redford's not it. Oh yeah, sorry,
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw. He's in the movie, idiot,

(01:15:48):
I'm reading the words that are in front of your face.
That's that's that's like a phenomenon, great Bond movie. In
nineteen seventy three, Live and Let Die with thirty five million,
I saw a video that was.

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
On Instagram that was very funny, and it was like
Paul McCartney just fucking exploded and just the way they
cut the video and he's like living it and like
the pyrotechnics.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Oh yeah, right, they did that further.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
That's sick. So I recently I guess Paul McCartney is
a is a vegan. I did not know that. And
I was listening, you know, so this is a story
tied into it. And uh, I was listening to the
audiobook of Anthony one of Anthony Boardin's book, and he's
telling a story about how he he hates vegetarians and

(01:16:47):
vegans because he finds the whole you know, concept to
be offensive to people in other parts of the world
when stupid rich Americans show up in other countries and
try and impose their vegan views on wherever they go,
which I completely agree. But he he had a friend
of his or a friend of a friend that was
a vegan and took him to a vegan restaurant and
tried to kind of convert him to the fact and
be open to eating vegan and vegetarian cuisine. And he

(01:17:10):
said that, oh, this is, by the way, the preferred
restaurant in New York City for Paul McCartney. And he's like, well,
you know that exactly wasn't a selling point for me,
and I told him that, you know it basically summed
up in not the exact quote, but you should pass
on to Paul McCartney that if he wants to basically
save all the cute endangered animals and provide them from

(01:17:31):
you know, years and decades of cruel and you know,
morbid and horrific punishment, maybe you should tell the people
that in certain parts of the world that think rhino horn,
tiger paw and other things are good Bunner Medicine send
a bunch of viagra over there and have them basically
just take that and said, maybe they'll stop killing all
these engaged animals, which he said. That guy actually told

(01:17:53):
Paul McCartney at some point when he saw him the
next time, Jesus Christ, then I would like to be
a fly on the wall for that conversation. I don't
know what that's I don't know what we're talking about.
That was heard was mccy can't get Yeah, pretty much,
that's that what you will? Sorry, what is it? Anthony

(01:18:16):
bardas Boners speaking of Boners, great, Yes, great, Onion did
make his cream. It was great. You're really good. We
then actually took the leftovers and turned them into a
potato and pearl onion. It was phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Yeah, cook onions and the onions are delicious no matter what.
Slow cook onions.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
So it was literally like it was slow cooked onions
and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:18:52):
They were left over, and then I mandling like potatoes
to them in the onions.

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
With you did.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Sorry, this was my idea that I really.

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
And he was like, wow, you're the chef. She tells
she's the head chef.

Speaker 4 (01:19:12):
So I said, if that's all the work chef takes off, cat,
is what I.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Said what I did.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
So I was like mandling the potatoes.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
Careful. I know one thing my mom did use it like,
oh my god, the.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Stand up one so that you're not like there's no
way you can cut your finger on the.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
One that we have. Not hold your glass like that.
It's bothering holding it like it's sorry. I was going
to take it, but you can hold it, but hold
hold it like a personal I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Know what to do with my cats.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
I don't know, guys. Just remember the cat's a frustrating
right now, she's doing exciting podcast. Yeah, I'm s side
questing all right, guys, Do we have anything else further
on the Messiah of Evil? Dude? Yeah, I love this movie.

Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
This is definitely one of the most underrated horror movies
ever ever.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Yeah, I think so loved great movie, Absolutely worth watching again.
As I say often, if you're a horror fan, put
this on your list, check it off. You will not
be disappointed. Thank you. Great picnic, absolutely golf clasp from Matthew. Yes, okay,
now we can give an actual clap. Seano can make
it sound less loud into the microphone. That's okay. But yeah,

(01:20:40):
so I think it's gonna do it for this particular
episode of America's Hometown Horror. But fret not, dear listener,
but we shall be back after you hear this episode
with our biggest, best and most fun episode of the

(01:21:02):
gonna get it out. We're just gonna have how is this.
I'm not doing that, my wife we're talking about I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:21:11):
I'm gonna turn around for that episode. I'll be on it,
but I'll be on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Some pasties. One just hang Out, which we.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
Had video recording, and it would be really funny if
you just want shirtless with like.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Some big stars, I mean would essentially be like doing
every episode and everything shirtless. He lost he's actually like
when he lost a ton of weight, did he gain
a bunch of being funny? I don't know. Okay, I
don't really care, because he's not funny at all. I
find him to be in suffering. He shows his gums
when he smiles, and that freaks me out.

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
I have an idea that I'm gonna picture off their
off yes, off the.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
He's going to pitch an idea, not now, though you'll.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Get man, so I'm not gonna do it, but later,
all right after.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Well anyway, just wait, just wait, use that use that
shutter subscription or that free to be subscription, and go
watch Messidah the Evil. I can't say anything else other
than that. To shut believe.

Speaker 4 (01:22:20):
They could double it and it's still worth it. Don't skip,
skip your dunk, don't speak. Don't it gives them more money.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
Next month, when I get the notices that they're raising
their their fees, I'll kill you if I pay ten
dollars a month. Cancel your Max subscription because nothing. I
actually think Max has probably the best selection of everything
exact combined.

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
I will say I just saw earlier that there's a
new night Stalker Richard Ramirez documentary.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
On Peacock Cock, which I'm going to check out because
the Netflix one was there horrifying. That reminds me I
still need to watch MAXI before we record our top ten.

Speaker 3 (01:23:01):
I don't watch that all right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
Actually was waiting to watch it because I thought that
you might want to watch it. We should watch it,
and you should watch it while being in top ten. Okay,
I still want to see it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
Watch it again.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
Speaking of our top ten, that'll be coming up next
to watch ten movies for the year, So welcome. If
this is in fact the last time you hear us
in the year twenty twenty four, fret not. We'll be
back in twenty twenty five with our top ten movies
of the year. Sure, we'll cover a wide variety of movies,
as we all have varying tastes. They'll probably be some overlap,
but it will be a whole lot of fun. We'll
also talk about some best TV in Horror of twenty

(01:23:35):
twenty four, best performances, et cetera, best experiences that we
had outside of just movies and TV, like we do
every single year. So it will be a really fun
episode to sit back and talk about some horror for
the year of twenty twenty four should be really cool.
So I've been joined by Matt, Andrew and Cat. Guys.
Thank you as always for everything. Matt, thank you for
your pick. You're welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:23:54):
Everybody you guys enjoyed it, of course, because you would
not have had as much fun watching funny.
