bridges so she could run around the arcade last night,

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, oh yes, I do too, but Google eyes
in your elements.

Speaker 2 (06:10):

Funny you always every day, like in a parking lot,
You're like worm.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
He's a selfie of being a park not picture. I
have like one of those like worm worm farms, you know,
like farms, we got worms.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
I got worms worm. That line is so underrated in
that movie. It makes me peek the funk out every
time he says that. She's like, Okay, I got worms.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
What we're gonna call it? Pardon, We're gonna call it?
I got worms? Man, Dumb and dumber rocks.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
It is really good. It's so funny and so I
feel like it's it's so classics. It is movie that's
one of the best, one of the best.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
All right.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Anyway, So we have a non comedy movie that we're
going to be talking about here in just a little
bit before we jump into that, and don't feel like
we have to if you guys want to get right
into tonight's movie film, anyone have anything that they've watched
they want to talk about before we jump into anything
or anything no cool horror centric stuff. We haven't been
doing news in a while because we've been behind a
few weeks. I know, it makes mat very happy. I

(07:24):
actually kind of wait, you'd like the weather. I like
the news too, I kind of I kind of really
really don't don't do the weather talk now, we've already
been going for about five minutes here. We don't need
weather talking. No guess, fire warning, fire warnings every night. Yeah. Now,

(07:46):
I do miss talking the news, though, but we are consistently,
like you know, ahead of the game a little bit,
so the news just wouldn't be as timely.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
I think we've got to come up with something else
to talk about.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I mean, okay, let's give them something like No, I
haven't did I talk about the substance on here yet
not yet you talked about I think you talked about
it with Just or did.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
You talk about it last week?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I think you might have.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, you didn't know.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
You were just texting us because I listened back to
the episode that Just actually know because wait, no Body
Melt was the last one that record.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
I had to have talked about the because that was
it's the same bucking movie.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Actually, because we did talk about you said it would
be a good double feature with correct I.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
So I got those two box sets from Severn, the
all the Hauntsy hours, it's like the Fall Corror collection things,
and I've been starting to chip away those. I watched
the Dot like three hour documentary about full Core and.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
It was very good. It was cool because I've always
kind of wondered, like what is FO what does that mean?
Like what is full?

Speaker 5 (08:51):
So it goes into all these things and did like
this whole collect these two collections have like an abundance
of like really good deep cuts and I'm excited. I'm
gonna start I think my win there is going to
be spent kind of being like a full core junkie
and just like getting through as much of these as
I can.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Becoming an expert on the subject matter. Some herbal tea.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Well, it's like that I got all those jallow ones
and I cranked through those over the last two years.
So it's just like and now I have this like
great knowledge of like deep cut jallo movies, and like
it's going to be cool to kind of add this
to my fucking repetois repertoire.

I wonder if it's the same actress that portrayed Mawana
at a birthday party that we went to for one
of our friend's daughters. And I think a lot of
the guys there thought that Mowana was kind of attractive.
I'm not gonna lie because there was a lot of coffees.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Carefully sposed to be a sixteen year old girl. No,
this is not a sixteen year old girl.

Speaker 2 (15:10):

she's supposed to be I think she's supposed to be six.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I thought she's like eight.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
No, I think she's eight. She's not eight. Some people
are going to jail. Now, come on, Google she's good.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
No, I mean she's going to be a teenager Moana.
I would think of that movie. That doesn't make it.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I think she's google it. She's not said she's in.
She's sixteen.

Speaker 6 (15:35):

anything about the book again, normally it.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Was my brain was catching up with the words.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm soo so this is like the similarian to the
Lord of the Well.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
Like Wizard of Oz is based on the book The
Land of Oz.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
It's not actually called the Wizard of Oz. There is
a book called The Wizard that's not the movie, but
it's a whole sequel of books. He's the Land of Oz,
all these different books.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
But you know what coffee is fucking how do Yeah,
compared to the I think it's more coffee, more.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Coffee, coffee talk coffee coffee doesn't actually mean coffee.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Coffee means sex all right.

Speaker 1 (17:48):

Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, guys, So when we were deciding a topic
this week, it was a cat pick. So of course
cat picked a twenty sixteen Korean rror film, which color.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Me shocked for one never that was a Matt pick
by proxy.

Speaker 7 (19:20):
Yeah, well it was weird because she had to cover
with a pick that was like, if you want to
audible out, I can.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I didn't want you to feel like you were like
my cat said, I don't know what audible means. I don't.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
That was also stunning as a stunning as a football
fan that I've known. You've been a football fan for yeah,
a long long time, and you don't you didn't know
what many thinks. That's like advertising for audible books.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Audible books.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I thought you were referring to it like.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
An audiobook for us. I mean that.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
I was like, oh no, I don't want to. I
don't want to do.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
An audible I have ninety that isn't that's credible, that's incredible.
That's shapes and colors, shapes and colors, no offense, idiot.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
See.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
That was much more effective than being like fucking goober,
like idiot.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Why am I getting caught the cross airs here? You
see the one that just calls you an idiot exactly
exactly all right, So this, I have to say, might
be the most solid Burne returned more Netflix movies trolls,
There we go, So this is definitely I was very
surprised to see Kat had picked this movie and I

(20:35):
hadn't seen it before, and when I read a descripture
of what it actually was, I was just like, holy fuck,
this is seems actually kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
And then Matt was like, oh fuck, yeah, Cat, nice pick. Cat.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I saw your hand up. So I have feelings where
we're gonna go here. Can you tell us about the
thought making process behind.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
The selection of this movie? Yes? Is that where you
were going?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
That's where it was going. No.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
So I actually just went to the Google machine in
November horror movies and there was a list and this
was one of the ones on the list, and it
looked interesting. Watch the trailer was like, definitely, it's between
this and Abigail?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Is that what it takes place? So what's November about it?
I don't understand. I don't know. It's dreary.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
I think she really thought that this was just the
sequel to The Whale with run crazier, the sequel Free
Willy to.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Whaling Dick and then me issue.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
So it wasn't there wasn't.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
It wasn't much thought, but into picking this besides any
mean money, this looks cool.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
What did you think? Do you like it?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I thought it was awesome?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well it was.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
It was funny though, because then Matt was like, oh,
it's like a two and a half hour movie, and
I was like oh, and and Mike was like two
and a half hours.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
I was like yeah, two six to me, I mean
that's long.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
That's long even for me. That's long even for me,
So I was kind of a mean. I was just like, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Did you watch the trailer. I mean it is like non.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Stop like the entire Yeah, it really doesn't there there's
no like real like law. No, it kind of it
keeps going. It's solid entertainment throughout. It never ceases to
be interesting. Yeah, no, for sure.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
Even Mike that night when I was like to go
watch the movie Saturday night came in the basement, He's like, Okay, I.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Don't know if I really want to watch this right now.
And I was like, I think you'll like it. I
think it'll be good because I just watching the trailer.
I was like, this is pretty solid.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah. When we started late it was late night finishing
it because it's a long ass movie.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
But I'm like, nope, we're invested.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I remember like at one point, I like, I was like,
I was like, we got to get close to the
end here, and I was like, there's like a fucking.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, because that's your average movie right there about forty
and then you get through yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, And I mean, I don't but this didn't really drag.
But okay, wait, we're getting ahead of ourselves here. We
would talking a lot about this movie, and this movie,
I should say, is called The Whaling. Whaling is a
twenty sixteen South Korean horror film written and directed by
nahog Jin and stars Quak Do Wan. If I mess
any of these names up, it's not intentional. I don't

(23:14):
mean to mispronunciate anything. Huang Jun Min and Chun Wu
He I think, are the three main actors and actress
in the movie, and the plot follows basically a soon
after a stranger arrives and a little village in South Korea,
mysterious sickness starts spreading. A policeman drawn into the incident
is forced to solve the mystery in order to save
his daughter. The original title for the film was called Gawksong,

(23:39):
which I believe is the name of the mountain village
that the story takes place in. It is also the
Korean translation for the word whale, So there's the tie
in there. Yep, exactly not that kind of whale, but
I see what you did there. You can stream this
movie on Netflix right now. It actually has a ninety
nine percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, which I've leave.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
See so not all Netflix movies are Nope.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Doubt this just happens to be on that correct correct,
it still counts as a Netflix and also an eighty
one percent audience score aka the popcorn Ometer, which, as
we said last week, is what they're calling the audience
score now on rott How much is the meter eighty
one by the audience in ninety nine for critics? I
have to say, so Netflix is actually two for two
last two Netflix.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yah. They added a lot of good stuff between this
and then also what was the movie that you started
and then we started again? It Lives Inside? Yeah? Actually
I really liked that movie.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Left the moment the body swapping movie with the machine
that we watched with the kid with the friends from
college that area. You've got to be kidding me. I
just watched it last week the kids of the friends
of they used to they went to college together, and yeah, yeah,
the body swapping device.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Device exactly.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
So anyway, Netflix two for two of the last two
Netflix movies.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Guys, the budget on this one, by the way, estimated
to be about eight million dollars in US dollars, that is,
and gross worldwide, way higher than I expect fifty one
point three million.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, so this is like a really popular movie when
it came out. Yeah, yeah, So I had never heard
of it, nor had I seen it. And you had
never heard of this movie? No, I have either. Nope,
I mean maybe figured out halfway through. I'm like, I've
watched half this movie and I just completely forgot. I've
owned this movie for a couple of years.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I say, I maybe I had probably heard of it
in passing, but it never stuck. So I'm definitely glad
it was suggested and glad that I watched it. So, Kat,
I guess since you were the one that selected this movie,
what'd you think.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
I liked it a lot.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
I mean, even though it was two and a half hours,
and like I've been talking about, it keeps going like
you don't feel like it's out long it.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Definitely keeps going.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
Well, it's like one thing after another because you know,
like the question, he's a detective or police officer. He
is always seeing this scene and that scene in this
and that, Like there was always something happening here and
then there was all like you know, who did what
and how does this person come into play in this
whole thing, and you just like it always kept your undertoes.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
It's a little confusing. It was definitely confusing, but I
felt like I've.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Followed it well.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
It's also confusing because you really you can't look. You
have to have to be paying attention. I think I
said that, and you literally have to be. You miss something.
They need to rewind watching.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
There were a couple of things that we did have
to go back and like wait a second, hold on,
I need to see that again.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah. Absolutely, like this is intended to be watched the
way a movie should be watched with his with which
you're with your absolute attention at all times, I would think,
because yeah, there's definitely a few things like blink and
you'll miss it.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
But it was funny too. There's yeah, it is a
lot of times with like foreign horror movies, just to
like kind of keep up. There's times that I'll bring
up like the synopsis on like IMDb and just like
kind of go through what I've seen so far and
just make sure that I'm getting everything right.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
So I do the same thing a lot of times too.
But I think this is definitely one of those movies
that kind of starts out a certain way and ends
very differently from what you think it's going to be.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, and it definitely has a few well you almost
think it's going to be like a zombie movie.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
It seems verybous, Yeah, because when it first started and
I saw this, I was like, Okay, I was like,
I'm not really into the whole zombie thing right now.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
I feel like The Walking Dead just burned me out
for so for so long.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
But then you know, sometimes you get something that's that's
really great, like something like donnoth Red or you know,
the Romeiro stuff, or like twenty eight Days Later, And
I don't think this is on that level, but.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I don't think it necessarily.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
It's also, yeah, it doesn't even qualify as a zombie
movie because it kind of takes so many hard left
turns throughout the entire thing. And I mean it kind
of reminded me a lot to like a couple of
movies that I thought of reminded me of when Evil Lurks. Yes,
recently watched movies that also kind of reminded me of
Hereditary a little bit. Okay, certain ways with the dread

(28:02):
that's being built and some of the things that happened
towards the end of the movie. When you see you
get the full picture is painted for you as what's
actually going on. That might make a little bit more sense.
And I won't say anything more than that because that actually,
you know, could be considered spoilerish territory.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
But I mean, you get, I don't actually, I don't
even know if I want to say this, because it's
kind of spoiling people.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I mean, I'm assuming people if they've watched this, if
they're listening to this, they've probably watched it. But I mean,
you're getting we already talked about zombie type, horror possession
type are ghostly visitations, so ghostly stuff and then some
reaction or yeah, yep, yep, any body.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Heart fantastic practical effects always oh yeah, amazing.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, and a lot of it, you know, there's there's
definitely a lot of horror going on too, but it
does a really good job of building tension and some
of the more human elements in the movie, Oh my god,
like the Jesus the cleansing ritual scene. Oh yeah, that
was that was fucking nuts. But anyway, getting ahead of
myself here, I really thought it was cool.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I enjoyed this movie, and I'm very happy that we
watched it.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
The main guy when he really gets hurt and stuff,
and he just like goes on and on and he's
just like if he's scared or something, he's just.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Yeah, it's funny because he has like a cool character
art because like he's a dip shit at the beginning
of the movie, like he really is.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
There's like no other way to be, like mister Magoo
yeah kind.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Of yeah, Like he's just like falling down all the
time and like getting scared and like, you know, my
little things. And then like when it comes to him
protecting his daughter, he like turns it on and becomes
like a really strong person. Yeah, And it's an admirable
thing for his character. You actually like because he's likable
anyway at first because he's like kind of goofy, and

(29:49):
then you see something horrible is happening to his daughter,
and you're like you feel bad for him, you give
a shit, you want to You're like, this fucking poor guy,
like he can't get out of his own way, and
then this happens, and like he just becomes like a
fucking warrior and like dealing with all this ship and
trying to figure it all out.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
It just sucks. He's just constantly one step behind time.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually kind of respect respect and
like about the movie that the main guy, John Gou
is his name, he's the policeman, the father of hio Jin,
who is the little girl that gets uh possessed in
the movie, that he's kind of just like an everyman,
just like you're a much slubby, like you know, small

(30:32):
town cop.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Goober.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, he's Goober if you will. Absolutely Goofball was another
one that I used. Yeah, so he's not supposed to
be like fucking Rambo, and but he kind of deeped.
He does definitely turn it up a little bit. Yes,
as ship starts to hit the proverbial fan.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
So I like that too. There is a there is
a dog death.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Oh yeah, it's off screen, but it happens. You hear
it dog death because the dog keeps coming back and
then finally dudes like, dude, fuck this.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
The dog really clamim. I guess I understand that, but yeah,
dog meets his demise. Yeah, because if you don't, you know,
if you just kind of like go with a dog
that's like that's that's that's a that's a that's I think. Yeah,
it was a big, one, big old dog. It was
a rot.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Also, that shaman just you know, fucking cavalierly. He's another
part of Chickens.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
He's another character to that you have to kind of
admire because he is as she's trying as hard as
he can to figure it out, and he does figure
it out, and it's just he's That was the other one.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
With the Shamans was the did you watch that? There's
a lot of Chickens. I thought that one was really good.
It just it kind of got away from me. I'm like, Okay,
this is not what I was.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
I also thought the shaman character was very interesting because
I was convinced at at one point that he was
kind of just full of ship and maybe there's not
really that much supernatural going on here and maybe.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
He's you know, he's just well you have the pre
the priest character too. Yeah, that guy confusing well that
because that's all he like kind of had.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
He's like, I guess we'll call a priest, and like
everyone was just like, well I'm gonna call a shaman.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
This isn't what we do here, but.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Like, yeah, the priest character is very good and like
he really you see towards the end when he is
talking to that guy who's the Japanese guy who's like
the outsider in the village who everyone thinks is the demon,
and it's just the flip flop of back and forth
of just like not knowing the end of that movie
is very like yeah, yeah, it's pretty pretty insane. It's

(32:39):
an insane it's it's a it's a good movie and
it doesn't have it kind of you get kind of
like the benefit of like the ending.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
You're like, Okay, well at least everything you know it's cool.
Certainly then it certainly ends. Andrew, what do you think
of the Whale? Like my friend, Oh, fantastic great movie.
Love so like people like, oh, these two hour and
thirty six minute movies.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
Along, but they do a great job of building characters
you actually care about them instead of just throwing the
characters out there, and it's just like, well, this is
I don't care about this person. Like by the end
of this movie, you really care about every character, even
you know, the villains at that point, like the bad guys,
You're like, oh, I invested in this guy.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, the villain of the whole movie. I feel like
it's actually they make him seem sympathetic kind of.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Yeah. You have that scene where he like jumps off
the like cliff thing, yeah, and he's like on the
ground crying and you're like, is he crying because he's hurt?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah? Or is he crying because he's hearing this guy
cry and you know, be upset about his daughter? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (33:42):
And you're like it really confuses you as the viewer,
trying to figure out like, dude, like fuck, who am I?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Who is the bad guy? Like you really have no idea?

Speaker 5 (33:52):
And then you have that woman that keeps popping up
too so and then you you that's where you get
that back and forth of like who's who? Which is
a great it really does, dude, it throws you for
a fucking loop because it just keeps turning over and
over again and you're like, holy fucking.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Ship dude, Like, yeah, it feels like there probably could
have been like two or three natural endings, and then
they keep going, yeah that's the end.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Is just a total fucking kick to the ball.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
But like that guy, he had the all the pictures
and stuff in that room, but then he burned them.
But then he's not supposed to necessarily be the bad.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Guy in the end. I think he's the devil. Yeah
he said he's the devil, but I don't know if
he is actually the devil. But then it's also certainly
am interesting.

Speaker 7 (34:33):
Other thing, too, is with the ghost woman girl. Yes,
he's having the interaction when she talks about the cock
growing three times the roster. Yeah, the rooster.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
That's like from biblical with Peter. Yeah, that's ship too,
something a lot of biblical, very biblical. Yeah, it was interesting.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Well that's where it becomes interesting because he's like, you're
almost like, fucking he called the priest. Yeah, yeah, I
fucking had it right. So but the thing with this,
like you were saying, it is long, but it really
starts off right at the beginning. They show up at
that scene, you see that guy kind of posted up
on like corch and you're like, whoa dude, what the

(35:09):
fuck happened to that guy? And just the fact that
they're like, dude, you're going to be late to like
everything the guys I was. I also so clearly enough.
I find it jarring to imagine being woken up and
then immediately you're just eating like rice and fish and
seawood for breakfast. I'm just like that just step bothered.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, I just I don't know if different. I know
it's wild. I'm where's my fucking thumb and where like
fucking broke?

Speaker 6 (35:37):
When I went to California and my mom we stated
some of my whatt was. But in the morning they
had breakfast. It was like the best Western or something.
They had white rice and like soy sauce breakfast, and
I was.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Like, I was so excited.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
I was like, I have this for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
I'm like, just in.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
California, you are a connossour of Asian food very much.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
So yeah, sauce on everything.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, you do have soy sauce more than my entire
life because you taste absolute saltum.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah. I drink a lot of water. That helps it all.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Like, uh now the ending, Yeah, the ending is it's
up and down, but like it's just that whole like
last like half hour where it's like constantly trying to
like one person's being like it's this person and you're
watching someone else find out who the issue is and

(36:39):
you're like, holy ship, brother, Yeah, like yep, it's tough, dude,
and you're like, and it sucks because he was already
on the tail of the guy gets called by the
shaman saying it's the woman, and the woman's there, and
then the girl's missing and you're like.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Dude, like what the fuck is happening? Like, yeah, you
feel like him.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
He's just like so piece Like that's good filmmaking because
it's putting you into the situation. It's making you completely
in the character's shoes of being like you don't you
know less than even he does, and you're trying to
follow along and you're just watching everything kind of unfold
and it just fucked due.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
So yeah, what were they gonna say?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I actually so to go back to I think it
was what you were saying, Matt, Like at the beginning
of the film where they the cops roll up and
there's that guy kind of handcuffed to the Bannister on
his porch and like, what the fuck. Actually kind of
liked that it started out almost like a police procedural
a little bit like it was just investigating, like all
of these deaths that are just cropping up, and then
it kind of got obviously more supernatural towards the end.

(37:42):
And I also kind of one thing that's stuck with
me and that I've been thinking about is, you know,
a lot of possession movies and the types of those
types of movies in this particular subgenre of horror, right,
it's always like this. It's kind of always been a
focus on how the people become possessed, gets selected to
be possessed by whatever demon that's inhabiting them. And I

(38:04):
think it's is the it's is when John Goo's having
I think he's having a conversation with the shaman and
basically shaman said, it's like fishing, and basically he just
threw a reel out there and he just happened. Your
daughter just happened to take the bait like something like that,
which is a really interesting way of putting it. Like
he came into town basically looking to see who was
open and susceptible to be taken over and it just
so happens that it was it was your daughter, which
just like that's a creepy thing.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
It makes you.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, which is that's that's a horror Yeah yeah, the
same with like the like you watch the exercis, Yeah,
why is this happening to this little girl?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Like yeah, yeah, yep, and.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
I did so, I did actually read did you guys
see the thing about the alternate deleted ending that they
did for this They kind of explained a little bit
more about the process as to how the selection process
was was made. So here is the deleted ending, uh
scene here. I don't know if it's actually'm assuming it's available,
but you can watch it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Maybe it's on the on the blue.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
So in a deleted scene at the end of the
Japanese man is scen sitting on a bench by the roadside.
He spots a family on the road, and this is
basically him moving on to his next village to possess
and that type of thing.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
He spots a family on the road and entices a
child to him by offering her candy. The mom picks
up the child before she reaches the stranger, uh, and
then Ilgwong, who is the let's see the shaman. The
shaman he arrives to pick the Japanese man up and
Mu Myong, who is the woman in white. The ghost

(39:36):
witnesses the car fading away on the horizon because they're
in like who's either shaman. Shaman and the Japanese man
are ines together?

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Yea. From from the way that I read that, it
basically to me seems like there was the devil.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
The demon felt some sort of slight, you know, just
by having somebody turning away an offer of his kindness,
and that's how he selected. Whoever he selected is maybe
some sort of incident with you know, with the the family.
It's in the actual movie.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
It'd be interesting if they played that ending, but they
had that be two weeks prior, right, Yeah, Yeah, So I.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Thought that was interesting. I kind of I think I
like better that they left.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
That out because I thought the ambiguity of it was
a little bit more interesting. The other thing too, One
of the scenes for me that like really got me
was when he is like puts his daughter to bed
and he like kind of like lifts up her like
she's got like a long shirt on. Yeah, and lifts
it up and sees that she's got the rash like
all up her thigh and up her body.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, and she wakes up and she's like what are
you doing?

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Yeah, like you're lifting your daughter's skirt while she's sleeping,
like you fucking piece of shit. Like it just like
gets like out of control really fast, and you're like,
oh my god, you have a rash I wanted to see. Well,
I think he was already understood that he has whatever's
wrong with everyone else and knows that something's inside of

(41:03):
her kind of being another, like she's possessed, and that
that whole scene is when you're like, that's the that's
the fucking head spinning back records flying around the room
scene from the Exocuse, You're like, Okay, something.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Is wrong here, like some figure out what it is. Well,
the shaman's almost like Renfield to Dracula. Yes, yes, yeah,
pretty much. And then you have the ghost lady too. Yes,
But at the same time it's like is she trying
to help or but no one listens to her. Right,

(41:38):
there's a lot going on here.

Speaker 6 (41:39):
There's a lot going on, but the shaman is shamaning
doing his thing. And then the other shaman is shamaning,
but are they actually.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Like no, So he's doing his thing and he's like
either I want to say, you'd think he's counterparting it,
like counteracting it, but he's he's like enforcing it even
more because what he's doing is causing the little girl
to like get it really is like to go through it.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
And I think the Japanese guy is like making that
power stronger from where he is through.

Speaker 7 (42:14):
The ands also making ten thousand, yeah, which is wild,
so he's making money.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
He's like, they help each other, you get help with mia.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
When he comes out, the dad comes out and stops
every He smashes everything and stops it.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
He's like like this is not working.

Speaker 7 (42:29):
Like, but what's weird about that scene though, is you
I thought it was working because you see the Japanese
guy going through his pain.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
That's happening right, Well, she's going through and go oh
they're getting to what he states.

Speaker 7 (42:40):
But it's like you, like I thought when that scene ended,
I was like, oh, he's the dad fucked it up
by not letting him finish off the guy.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
That's what I thought, But I guess that I don't know.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Well, that's the thing there's that ambiguity of no, I
don't think, I don't think, and like it's like you
almost wonder, like when the little girl goes away with
the ghost Lady, if she's like taking her away to
like go be freed by like dying, you know what
I mean, Like it's like to just get released from
like because this if for all you know, this is
something that's it's like once you're in, you're in and

(43:12):
it's forever.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, And she's trying to like release her from that.

Speaker 7 (43:15):
So I don't know, she's like in purgatory, so trying
to get her, yeah, break them through to the other side.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
But it's just like it's one of those movies that
it's just kind of there's a lot and you there's
a lot to dissect, there's a lot to try, and
which is great.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
I love movies like that that make you think and
there's no right answer, there's no wrong answers. I mean
there's answers certainly quite a bit going on this bid.
Remember remember the manly gets struck by lightning.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
After he says you guyshould get stuck and then he
just like look stumbles away after and you're like, holy
ship dude like.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
And then after his partners like leaning over and being like, you.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
Have all these supplements and all these tonics and you
get struck by lightning.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Like just maybe they get the great outdoors.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
The well that was to me, that was like kind
of like a pivotal part of the movie because you
see that happen and the guy just kind of keeps going, yeah,
fucking holy ship.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah yeah, it probably it's like because most like people
don't die, ye, people construct by letting you live, I know.
But still it's just like the fact that you think
like you would drop on the ground and it's like
a system overload.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
And then you have all these other guys that like
get possessed and they're running around in the woods, like
coming out where he drives the fucking like the metal rake.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah yeah, still like kind of holds up, you're like
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Well that's so that was a good scene too, because
so that that like when when that that reanimated guy
essentially rips that guy's face off like that is yeah,
pretty awesome practical effects and good job on by that
guy selling it, because that sounded incredibly painful getting your
face It's gonna be painful, gotta suck, suck hard, really

(45:04):
suck cool. I did see, by the way, that Ariost
called this his favorite horror film the last ten years.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Oh okay, I believe that. Yeah, your Hereditary. No, so
actually that was independent of that.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
I just happened to So again, I take a lot
of these this trivia stuff that I find from IMDb directly,
and I know that you are able to edit those things.
So I don't know if that's actually from anywhere. If
there is a fact on IMD. IMDb listed that Ariost
is a very big fan of this movie. I bet
you Stephen King likes this movie too, probably probably because it.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Just like I like, everyone tweeted him.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Unless it's the Shining, I hate them. Yeah, he hates
the Shining, Yeah for sure. Yep, he definitely does not
like the Shining, that is for try. But he does
like himself some zombies. This isn't zombies, but he does
like well, there are some kind of close close enough.
I think I remember him saying that he liked Trained
to Busan for sure.

Speaker 7 (45:59):
Well, he liked that show and now fixed Black Summer
or whatever that to talk about summer. Oh, I remember
that I didn't watch it, but I just remember him
talking about it.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
We watched that a little to me, No you did,
I watched it.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
Yes, also his new short story right, yeah, I gotta
get on very good. I'm still listening to it. It's
fucking long.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
It's not that short, huh.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
Well, it's a collection, but I think that I think
the book is like fucking like seven hundred something pages,
like I think it's short stories twelve and like. But
there's like three that are like novella length, like their
longest ship so far. But there's one that's really good
about this guy that has a dream and like you know,

(46:45):
he sees a lady dead somewhere and goes and finds
it in real life and gets accused of the murder.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
That was good.

Speaker 5 (46:51):
And then there's another one called rat I think it's
called Rattlesnakes and it's actually you find out through it
that it's a sequel to Kujo. Oh.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
I do remember they were talking about that and when,
like right when the book first came out. It does
have quasi little sequels. No, but it's just it's about
the dad, like like down the road in life. Yeah,
and it's it's very very creepy, so but I I
recommend it.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
It's good. Okay. Just speaking of Stephen, Yeah, does it?
Does it get in like seah?

Speaker 1 (47:22):
I really love when he goes full like cosmic weirdness.
Now I know he hasn't he hasn't done that as much.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
The first story is alien stuff, but a lot of it,
the theme of it, there's a lot of stuff with
like police questioning people who are not criminals, and it
just seems to be an ongoing theme with a handful.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Of the stories. But the there's it's it's kind of
all over the place. Okay, So I'll check it out
for sure. How old he's gone, he's close to eighty.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
I saw a picture of him today, like I don't
know how recent it was, but he looks well he's
always looked.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
It was with a poster of that movie The Monkey.
That's gonna be pretty good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I have purposely, not purposefully not watched the trailer for that.
All we saw was a teaser during Terrified three.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
I just got my limited edition steel book for Long Legs. Ooh.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
Speaking of Long Legs and The Monkey, both directed by
Oz Perkins, you guys want to talk about the twenty
sixteen in Horror which is when this came out.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yes, Black Coat's Daughter, Is that what you're gonna No,
I was gonna say so. Actually it was what was
his movie that came out in twenty sixteen. I have
it on here. It is.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Hansel I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House,
which is I think one of his only movies that
I haven't seen. I actually haven't seen Gretel of Hansel
and I haven't seen that.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
I will say every time I get home and I
tell myself, I am the pretty thing that lives in
the house, and.

Speaker 7 (48:58):
I have the pretty thing that on the whopper wer
almost he's dying in the bathroom with a fat thing
that I'm pretty sure he's lactose in tolerant.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Maybe I was like watching comedy Genius unfolded. That was great.
That was so good. Uh alright, sorry, back on track,

(49:37):
get back on the right. Horrible god alright.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Also in twenty sixteen we got ten clover Field Blade,
which is the second clor Field movie. I actually really
liked that movie a lot. To peak fat John Goodman,
Yeah he's actually he's pretty. He's still he's skinny, that right, Yeah,
he lost all the weight, but he was that's when
he stopped eating people. He was fucking blimp out. He's
a big guy, big guy. Yeah, he's actually really good

(50:05):
in that movie too.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Yeah, that is a very good movie. I like that
movie a lot. Win Uh Mary Elizabeth Winstead instead, Yeah, she.

Speaker 11 (50:13):
Was in.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
One of the Tarantino grindhouse movies, you know, probably uh
there was a death Proof Planet Terror. Yeah, I forget
which one.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Scott Pilgrim.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Scott Pilgrim. She's the main character in the thing remake that.
Not a lot of people like she was in Planet Terror.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Planet Terror. Okay.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Speaking of movies with numbers in the title, we also
got Rob Zombies thirty one.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
In twenty I haven't seen it. This should have been better.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Yeah, it just kind of like it starts hot and
then you're like, okay, this is all this is going
to be the whole time. Yeah, it's just running around clowns,
chasing and killing people in not creative ways, and you're like,
all right.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Okay, sounds about right. Guy's a phenomenal film from twenty sixteen,
at least I think so. The Autopsy of Jane Doe
absolutely fucking awesome movie.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Which wait, have we done that movie on the podcast.
I don't think we have either. That was we've drafted
about it. Yeah, that okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
That was one of those movies where when when it
arrived at the ending that it did, I was like,
holy fuck, that's a creative way of doing that. That
was really really cool. I love that movie really good.
We also got in twenty sixteen The Belco.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Experiment, which is a bumhouse movie. I haven't seen it.
It's interesting. Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
I know a movie that I've advocated for in several
podcasts that not a lot of people like, is the
the Blair Witch Sequel sequel to the Blair Witch Project.
Is just Blair Witch trash. I know Matt hates when
I talk about this movie. It was basically a hidden
Blair Witch sequel. They didn't announce that it was going
to be a Blair Wit sequel until they called Blair
until well, the working title, the working title was The Woods,

(51:52):
and they did a panel for it at Comic Con,
which is like a couple of weeks before it came out,
and they were like, oh, just kidding.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
It's called Blair What wouldn't make sense though, just just sequel.
They have it be called the Woods, so people said, oh,
oh ship, it's a Blair, which is holy fuck.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, I mean right that would that makes more sense
or would they be like, no one saw my movie
because it's called the Woods. Also an underrated movie from
twenty sixteen that I thought was actually pretty decent was
The Boy That's Gotten a sequel Daddy and the Boy.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
The Boy creepy doll type movie. Yeah, da Daddy and
the Pool.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Like Broms The Boy, So Broms the Broms The Boy
is the sequel to that.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Broms The Boy too.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Broms cut me in Brot the God the Cabin Fever
remaking like sixteen unnecessary, but it packs a punch.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
They changed up a few things in it that were
really brutal, like in the the original one.

Speaker 5 (52:48):
They you've seen the original they beat the girl with
a shovel, yeah, and the ship, and then this one
they led her on fire with castle.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Oh that's not fun. It's way where student.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
It's like prolonged, like you're just like watching like the
shed burn and hearing her screen. It's like really really rough.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Yikes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Also, we got in twenty sixteen one of my least
favorite Stephen King movie adaptations and also one of my
I think the least favorite Stephen King novels that I've
actually read is sell That's what the John Cusack h,
I really didn't like this book.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Book was terrible. So basically it's the book is like
Stephen King back on cocaine.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah, it's like kind of it's like kind of a zombie.
It's a zombie book, but it basically is a mass
zombie event that is caused by a pulse sent out
through cell phones. So it's like making fun of like
it's like satirizing like cell phone I am, Yeah, it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
It was.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
The book starts off like really strong.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
Yeah, like you get kind of the chaos of like
Day one, and then it just like goes into like
the survivors and it just kind of gets really fun.

Speaker 7 (53:55):
Why do I not even remotely even recollect this movie,
but I feel it would be something I'd be like
Samuel Jackson Cusack.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
They guys are in fourteen o eight, which is another King,
which is a good one. That's a good one. That's
actually a really good one. Yeah, that's so weird.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
We also got the Conjuring two in twenty sixteen, which
was Yeah, it's not as good.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
As the first one. And also those movies are played out.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Yeah, well the last one is coming, I think next year,
The Conjuring. I think it's called Last Rites, and that's
I think that's one that I'm ready to be over with.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
The third movie sucked. The Devil Made Me Do It sucked.
That was not a good one.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
We also got complete opposite end fucking movie that rocks.
Don't Breathe.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
That's a really good, great movie. Yeah. I never look
at a Turkey based in the same week, and that
was like that was a lot. That was like months. Yeah, yeah,
it's like a lot. Matt.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Green Room twenty sixteen, beautiful movie, one of your favorites.
Not a beautiful movie, but certainly a great movie. Yeah,
gritty as fuck. Do you remember you remember a Green Room?
We watched it on a plane to Mexico. I remember
watching that.

Speaker 9 (55:09):
It's the punk band movie two weeks ago. She certainly
does not Mexico. This is the one that has I
was absolutely drinking Patrick Stewart playing a neo Nazi skinhead
gang leader. No you don't remember, no, Okay, good great movie, great.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Movie, Matt, Matt Rode, Yeah about it. It did a
hit piece. Yes, that's correct, a hit piece.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Also in twenty sixteen, we got a movie called Holidays,
which is an anthology film.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
I think it's still on shutter right now.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
I checked it out recently now because I'm jan we
might have done it for anthology.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Maybe I'm not sure, but I definitely don't remember this.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
It was okay, that was okay, Holiday, I did it.
It was a while holiday, Holidays Holiday. We also got
in twenty sixteen two movies from Mike Flannagan, the first
one being Hush, which stars his wife Kate Siegel, who
is a deaf person that is being pursued by a masked.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Movie really good.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
He also did surprisingly pretty good, which I thought no
chance of being kind of good was Wigi Origin of Evil,
which is the Wigi movie prequel, which like, okay, cool,
but Mike Flanagan is gonna Mike Flanagan, so he did
a good job with that too.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Hush Hush is actually pretty awesome. Yeah, Hush is like
really cool. It's very good. And that's a Netflix movie.
Tis tis indeed Netflix. Hey, what's up?

Speaker 1 (56:33):
We already talked about I Am the Pretty Thing that
lives in the house or I am the fact that
almost keeps dying.

Speaker 12 (56:43):
I am the fat thing with type two diabetes diagnosed.
I'm sorry, and I'm the fat thing with crumbs in
my chest.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
The funny thing is not even fat. So it's like
it's it's fine enough. I do, I do fat, all right?
A couple you do do dash came from thirty miles.
If I get a drunk, it's faster than that is true,
is faster than if you were to go and the move.

Speaker 7 (57:17):
And if you just get mad when they don't actually
come upstairs and bring it to me directly because you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
There's no cheese on this. Last time I ordered, I gonna,
I gonna sausage and cheese. They didn't put the egg on.
I was like, what the fuck is this sausage and cheese? No,
there was no way. So I think the guy ate
the eggs. No, I've heard of people doing that.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
That's weird.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
I don't think their tips enough to just eating part
of their food.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Oh so you tipped them in advance before the food
the food actually arrives. Yeah, dangerous game to play, I see,
I see.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
I've never done I've used it a couple of times
at fairheaden because a lot of stuff that you get
delivered from just automatically Rousey to door dash.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
So how do you think I get.

Speaker 7 (57:59):
Junks majhnny Macaroni's delivered on thirty that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I seventy dollars.

Speaker 7 (58:05):
It's uh, well, if I wasn't, if it wasn't a
fat cow and I just got one meal, it would
be like thirty bucks.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
That's a whole lot for a pasta dinner. It's like
that you can make yourself. Yeah, but that involves good time.
Time is money.

Speaker 6 (58:20):
You just said if you only ordered one meal, but
then you just said one meal is really like two meals?

Speaker 2 (58:24):
How many are you?

Speaker 1 (58:25):
You're ordering several eating two meals and then I have
left over for the next day.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
It's an okay?

Speaker 3 (58:34):
And do you do the cross the cross dashing where
you like order like.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Double dash double dash. Sorry, you can't have to be
an amateur or not. Also, you're supposed to get skittles
and your pizza. I mean you know it must be
this guys, must be three hundred pounds just in my pants. Yes,

(59:01):
the dump that keeps seething out of your.

Speaker 7 (59:05):
Just a constant wet It's like anally and you can
just slightly smell it throughout the day.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
You're like, why do I why do I like ship?
Just my butthole? Not enough? This is like a sixty
minutes like gett'n Docking? Yeah, sixteen minutes expose. How is

(59:34):
your very well? Three plies.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
In twenty sixteen, we also got Lights Out, which is
the movie that we watched kind of recently and it sucked.
This is the uhet the Blumhouse, the Blumhouse remake of
the short film where basically it's just the woman flicked
the lights on, it off, and she flicks them on
and off the person closer closer. We did, yes, we

(59:59):
did so, like a like a cheesy version of it follows.
I remember, yes, you picked it and we watched it
against despite my protests. Remember you wanted to watch it.
It was it was on Netflix, of course, and we
watched it. We also got Martyrs the remake in twenty sixteens.
The Monster Pretty Good, a twenty four monster horror movie.

(01:00:20):
Underrated flies on the radar from twenty sixteen. Check that
one out, pretty cool. We got The Neon Demon in
twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
That's a good one. Demon. Let's see let me cherry
pick a few more. That movie was okay, it was fine,
it was okay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
We also got the Purge election year in twenty sixteen,
because get it, twenty sixteen, it was an election year.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
I wanted to do that movie what they did there,
and then we were like, this movie is terrible, and
let's see.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
We also got there, so that there are four other
movies in addition to the Whaling that if if in
fact we did not do Holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
This would be movie number five from twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Sixteen that we've covered because we remember we were talking
about we're trying to figure out the movie Holidays for
Chanthology at one particular point, Cat's trying to cheat and get.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
All the movies are this will be number five.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
So we've also done full episodes from twenty sixteen on Raw,
the French film which fucking rocks. Yeah, you were you
were right. I think that was I think that was
when you were part of the show. I don't know
if that was before your time or not, but Rob
is a fucking great French film. That's fucking awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Andrew.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
In another g anthology, we've covered one of your favorites
xx Southbound Southbound from twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
One of my favorites. That was definitely I think before
you were part of the show, Matt was The Void.
That movie fucking rocks. I absolutely love that. And there's
another one on here that was a cat pick that
I guarantee you that day.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
No it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
It's not Happy Death Day. It's a it's a movie
film starring Blake Lively Shallows forgetting Terrify.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
I didn't get to that yet. I was gonna say so.
We also got a O the Big Ones here in
twenty sixteen forgetting this. Idiots, hold on.

Speaker 7 (01:02:03):
It's not highlightly only emboldened.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
What movies that we've covered the show. We did Terrifier? Oh,
we did do Terrifier for sixpisode. Yes, that's right. Oh
my god, what a fuck up by me? Math John,
What an asshole number six? I can leave my fuck up?
And that's all right? What a dick I am?

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Yeah, Terrifier came out in twenty sixteen. The movie that
launched a trilogy, maybe probably a quad quadragie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
I think there's gonna be five five? Is that Queen trilogy?
Is that it? Yeah, Quinn trilogy. I think I'm not
even getting Yeah, I'm not just sure, terrifier.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Very good movie with some fucking nasty kills, very nasty kills,
and obviously the cylic of David Thornton.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
David Howard. Have you seen him doing like the monologue
Jokers monologue from I did see that on TikTok actually
really fucking good from the anime series. Sure is tough
to meet Mark Hamill, but he did a really good job.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Also, in twenty sixteen, we got split from m Night
Shyamalan and we talked about this, but I think it
was before we recording. But also Trained to Busan came
out in twenty sixteen, which I know I haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
I haven't seen that movie. Just another bang. Yeah, I
heard it was for the most heartnet it was. It's
it's a Peach thirteen like Little Girl movie.

Speaker 7 (01:03:23):
I bet like it had it had like it had
At the ending, it was like, I was like, all right,
how many Shamalan twits?

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
It was like fifteen.

Speaker 7 (01:03:30):
I was like, oh right, last I was like, oh
my god, Oh, I'm like, fucking Jesus, just end the
fucking movie. Basically watching like a fucking Olivia Rodrigo concert
for half the movie and then it turns into.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Like fifteen twists like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
You've done it again, You've done it again, twisty mctwisterson
over again, fucking twisted it up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
It was just like it was. It was almost it
was like a Family Guy was like making a joke.
M Night Javalin movie. That's time about when we all.

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
When we saw Late Night with the Devil with all
like the production companies, we were like companies and and
I was like, all right, complete, look at that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
Family Guy does have some all time great calls and
some of their cutaway scenes. It does that. They never
I mean, I know a lot of people don't like
Family Guy never stupid crack me up. It's funny. It's
so stupid, it's so funny. It's toilet. Yeah, I am
a fan of same same boo I am.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
I am certainly not too high brow to laugh at
Peter Griffin fart jokes that, yeah, thank you, that's my side.
Boo Hi, welcome back to the Peter Griffin side. About
that that side boob turning on, well it shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
That's you know what What.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Always kills me is the where Peter uh to cheer
Chris up for something catches a frog for him and
he puts him in a shoe box and doesn't poke
any air holes in. It's the frogs dead and it
takes him like literally two and a half minutes to
try and pick the frog up and toss it out
the window.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Yeah, it kills me every time. They keep going, never
like that's the thing that is keep going and you're like,
this has to be almost done. He always gets there's
just one in the earlier seasons, and it's so stupid
it makes me die laughing. Is this guy? I think
Peter is taking bag or something.

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
He's trying to get a bone or something, and it's
just two guys like inside his ball sack shoveling coal
into a fire.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
And he's like, isn't this just the best job ever?
He goes, what shoveling coal into a fire to make
this guy's dick or something like that. It's just it's
just die laughing. Yeah, I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
I like the guy a lot, Yeah, because it's just stupid. Ye,
Seth Parks better for shelth Foks, No, it is. I
think South Park is better. It's they're both good, but
I think Self Park does kind of have an edge there.
That's a debate for a different podcast. Guys, anything further
we want to talk about here with the Whaling.

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
Great movie, it's long, it's got subtitles. Both of those
things can be intimidating, but it's worth the watch.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Two thumbs.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Subtitles worth the watch and worth the whale, worth getting
whaled on, and worth doing the whaling for.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
I would definitely whale one off before watching. Yeah, this
movie is really cool.

Speaker 5 (01:06:35):
From our team Chronic Masturbator, you definitely don't do it
after you watch, No, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
It would be a really sad whack after that really
sad Craig.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Club.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
It's watched with me with Me, Watch with Me with Me, whack,
big loss. Yeahs. As we've advocated for on several several
different occasions on this show, don't be afraid to throw
out a fucking movie because of that subtitles. You're closing
yourself off to so many awesome movies, and this is

(01:07:13):
another one of those movies. That's a really good example
of why you should branch out and try some different things.
And I'm happy to see that Hollywood hasn't done a
stupid American remake this yet. Because it's a really good
movie on its own, should be left alone.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
Well you know why they haven't, because they're stupid. They
don't know what people actually Yeah, exactly, making thirty five Marvel,
Here we go, Marvel, Fuck you you, Marvel.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Just make the goddamn Blade movie already, Marvel, and fucking
get it done with. That's the only thing that darterested
in another dark Man.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Dark Man. I'm sure we'll.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
I'm sure they could pay Sam Raimi enough to do
a dark Man remake a sequel, all right, they need to,
they kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
But you know who knows. Sam Raimi's doing a lot
these days. He's producing stuff, he's directing Marvel movies, so
you never know, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
I think it's gonna do it for another episode of
America's Hometown Horror guys.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Great job tonight is my pick next? I believe. Does
he haven't already lost? No, I would have been offered
to it, can't It can be your pick. I don't
know he was. Yeah, they were going.

Speaker 7 (01:08:14):
Back and forth, okay, because I did Body Melt and
then she picked and you picked before me something I
can't remember.

know you all right, you've been talking about that one
for a while. Amityville to the Possession?

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):

They do have a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:08:43):
Yeah, they have, like all no, but they haven't enough
more than it is. That's I watched it like a
few weeks ago, and that's what's better than the first Yes?
Is it so it's a different cast, Yeah, it's a prequel.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
I'm actually in the mood.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
I'm very much of the mood for this because I
actually during getting like the week of Halloween, I was
looking for some I couldn't find anything like a good
audiobook that I wanted to like delve into to start
off with. So I actually just re listened to the
Amityville Horror audio book in that move.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
The book's so scary, it's so good. I know it's
probably all bullshit, but it is. Actually. Yeah, I've heard
the same thing too.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Well, there's a lot of debates about it, but we
can get into all that next week when we talk
about some Amityville stuff. Talking Amityville to the Possession, I'm
very excited. Matthew, good job, nice pick, Catherine, good job, Andrew,
