Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello, and welcome to Deep Blue Sea. In the podcast,
I am Mark water Fountain Hoffmeier.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And I am Jay. Why are you naked? Cluet? And
this isn't this isn't Deep the podcast. It's it's still Halloween.
It's still October, so this is of course Creeper Boo
scream the podcast. On this show, we've been to the
entire Deeper Sea triogy, scene by scene. We'll do it again,
but not today. Today we're doing one of our infamous
Deep Blue scenes. Creeper Boo screams, No, I don't know where.
(00:45):
We're looking to be at the aquatic scenes of another
horror film, this time is the faculty? What is the faculty?
As a nineteen ninety eight sci fi horror tried about
Robert Rodriguez, It's Invasion of the body snatches, but for kids,
you know, for kids with a bunch of students find
that they're the teaching style. The faculty of their school
are being taken over by aliens trying to take over
(01:07):
the world. I don't know, but they don't. They do
like water quite a lot. This is at demark earlier,
far wetter than I remembered it being. This film so
we're going to talk about a bunch of aquatic scenes
that are throughout this film. This film stars everyone and
Bruster cleared of our Laura Harris, Josh hartn At Shawan Hatto,
Si Samahayak, Fanky Yanson, Piper Laurie, Christen McDonald, BB Newarth,
(01:29):
Robert Patrick. Usher not in this film as much as
he as he's credited as being on all of the marketing.
Usher is front of the poster. John Stewart, Daniel van Bergen,
Elijah Wood, Summer Phoenix, and John Abrams amongst the cast
of this film. A huge cast, ridiculous cast, great ridiculous,
and a lot of them die via water or lack
(01:50):
of like thereof.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I love this movie.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's great. I haven't seen it in years. I was
thrilled to watch it again last night.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Delilah is horrifying.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Delia sucks, but Ordania Brewster is good.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
It's annoying because Jordania Brewster is really good at being horrible,
and you know how much I love the Fast and
Furious franchise, but she's kind of relegated to being the
sister in that one. So it's I'm not saying I
like the character I'm not saying Delilah's by any means
a good character, but I like the performance because it's
much different than the Fast and Furious performances. Now, Jay,
I don't know if the episode is going to be
(02:23):
released yet on movie Some of Flakes, but Zanati and
I are doing a scream rip off series and we
had a discussion about this. So, so mary Beth comes
to Earth, comes Ohio and infiltrates the teachers, and you know,
it does it affects behavior, and they're they're like a
hive mind. Some are controlled, some aren't. But then there's Delilah,
who she's still delilahing and she's not drinking water when
(02:47):
she's had this thing in her ear. So like, you know,
a lot of like the coach becomes nicer, other people
become more confident. Actually, fan Ky Johnson becomes much more aggressive.
And the football players. It's supposed to be a peaceful world,
but the football players are blittering people. So I don't
I don't. I think mary Beth has lost control of
her invasion.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Or maybe the the invasion process can be more aggressive,
but once the invasion is complete, everyone can settle down.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So it's like mad Max and then it becomes like
a fascist world.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Sure interesting maybe maybe okay now, but yeah, yeah, delight
her is still delighting. But well she's she knows, she's
got her glasses on, and she's got her hair up
or down. I forget. Yeah. So, but it's it's not
clear at what point she was taken over. I guess
(03:40):
it's not like definitely she's.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Got Elijah Wood, Sigourney Weaver and being horribly homophobic and
just horrifying when she has this bug in her ear.
So I wonder if mary Beth is like, what did
I do? What did I unleash here?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Or is that mary Beth? Is that the true? Is
she a bigger, the biggoted alien queen.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I just I think depending on who you are, the
control is worse or like better or worse, like she
has more control of someone or less control because because.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Light is quite a strong character, quite a strong personality,
she's hard to control. More more Delilah comes out.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, it's like twenty percent sea creature alien and eighty
percent Delilah. I like it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean that the Yeah, but just you know
the character of stan Seana Toci comes to her and
is like I'm a I'm a stereotypical football jock star quarterback,
but I'm gonna like step away from that stereotype and
get back into my studies and earn the low grades
I deserve. And she's like, no, you suck, get back
(04:47):
to you, dick it.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Really she busted the teacher for his alcoholism, No one
cares like she's she burns bridges and so I think
I think she just doesn't. She probably got it from
the beginning, and Mary Beth is like, I don't even
know if I have control of her.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So I hate that she gets a happy end. I
really hate that she like we're seeing I guess at
the end of the well, you kind of feel like
Casey has like fancied her and liked her apart from
when she's not being a bad person, and so they
end up together. But you said this off of Mike,
(05:26):
that she's she just goes from like the popular person
to the popular person. So he like saved the world, so
he's a popular person now. But hmmm, I kind of
wanted her to die. I saw her as being like
a villain. She should have been one of the ones
taken out of the drugs jammed into our eye like
John Stewart.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Or at least have an eyepatch and some missing fingers
at something. Yeah, but I don't think it's happy because
she's with the star quarterback and then she's with the
world famous guy. Like as soon as he gets less famous,
she's out.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You don't. Yeah, this is like around about Deep Impact
as well, where she becomes really famous for spotting the
story coming and Li Spiski's oh yeah, let's good.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, so she's going to ride it out for as
long as possible and then you know, then leave them.
Is it happy? I mean Zeke stating a teacher.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, Bazeque is a mature student. Yeah, yeah, failed, So
I feel like I do find it odd that he's
joined the American football team towards like midway through his
final year. But hope, I mean presumably his final year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, because I don't they're not a home coming yet,
so yeah, they're probably halfway through the season. I figured
Elijah Wood would have joined the football team because he's fast,
like just watching the entire team is just chasing him
in circles and they can't get them, but.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
He does fall over. This is this is in one
of the pool things. He does a card CARDI Burke
color Blake, so he doesn't cult of Blake and he
slides around on by the pool.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean that's times, that's fairy. Oh sure, those tiles
they put on that pool are horrifying.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And there's an alien, Yeah, distractingly huge alien.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's like, guys, I don't know if you should put
this tile next to a wet floor. There's gonna be
death cause but whatever, you know, fancy school football money.
Maybe the football players swim in there. But maybe a
lot of water action though, because these are water aliens,
Like the alien comes from a planet of oceans that
dries up, like a planet that's all water, which is I.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Mean, it's a big it's a big alien. So if
there's a lot of them up there, then I can
understand they drink a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's but is it salt water? They don't really answer
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, it seems to be okay in chlorinats.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That fluoride in the water doesn't affect them, so it's yeah,
they just it's just water.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, just like like the West. Maybe they got some
kind of internal filter.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They have like a burkie and their stomach a zero filter.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So yeah, yeah, it's a different you figure they get
War of the World's but they're just.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's a water are a big enemy of aliens in
in like signs hates they hate water.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Water.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The worlds isn't water, it's it's common. Yeah. So I
feel like this will be a good planet for this
breed of aliens to come down and conker because there
is so much water and work so much water and
waste so much water.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, so I mean it's good location. You attack a
football city, football town, go get everyone at the football game,
branch out from there. Also, last thing before we get
into the water, Jake, you come from an alien planet
and you want to you want to turn the entire
world into just your population again, which is gonna be
tough because like how do you do that in say,
(08:53):
you know, landlocked areas? Yeah, whatever, what evs. There's a
lot of ocean. It if like first and foremost, you
start hanging out with this crew while your world domination
is going because you're like, Hey, that's that person's cool.
This person's cool. I'm kind of interested.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I have hanging out with the breakfast club.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But if I, okay, Jay, if I came to Earth.
I would start invasions in different towns and just keep traveling.
So that way, when the breakfast club is like, we
got to get the queen or the king, I'm in
BALI sure. Yeah, So I was like, if we kill
the leader, we kill everyone, Like where is he? And
then just cut to me in I am rocking out
(09:35):
in in uh Mikinos, just next to the ocean.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, because you don't. You don't need this only fail
if you needed the queen to be the one to
spawn to take over people. But you don't, because you
see like baby New Earth and and I have gone,
and the Hyperlorious was trying think Pipulorio see that them
(10:00):
like doing it, just the two of them. So yeah,
you don't. You don't need Marybeth to be doing it
watching is knowing that she's the bits. It's obvious. Yeah,
just the way through. I think the first time around,
I didn't. I didn't know you could.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Just you don't have to be there.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, just you go go back into space, like you don't,
just head back and wait, hang out, wait a year.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, and even if the people try out and die, whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You got, you go under earth. You start spreading the news.
You build some transparent aluminium fish tank like in Star Trek.
You take it up into space, hang out in the
fish tank for a while, come back down when you're
at the water plinancials done.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Hang out in a bathtub like in the Shape of
Water there we can hang out in a bathtub. Also,
this continues the long trend of like naked space lady
movies who are in water.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So like there's species species under the skin.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Has a lot of white like goo and ocean work.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
There. I don't know if there's not much life forceing.
But I don't know what it is about about Hollywood
and naked space ladies.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But this is another I think it's just the naked part.
It's it's Hollywood seems to like the naked part. Okay,
although like this this, this is a film that takes
a while to get to the nudity. Normally in these
kind of films it would be like upfront, yeah, this
is this is the mid third.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Act, and it actually leads to a very funny line,
why are you naked? Like that's it. It almost makes
it worth it. It's wildly gratuitous, but it's it's a
funny line.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But it doesn't I don't think it feels. It's not
like it's just I do find it odd, find it unnecessary,
but it's not done sexily. I think she.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Gets so big then so little.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And why when Casey is trapping her in the seats,
I doesn't she get them all again? She is a
monster trug getting trapped in this little thing and just
becomes small to become a person, become a smaller than that.
I'm sure you can shape. She had to transform into
a rabbit. I don't know why you're just staying as
(12:11):
a monster.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's a great point.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Never mind, I do love I do love the flashback
like wait, I saw you take the test, the flash
back to her taking the test, and like, zoom in
and she's got the she got the pen full of
scat scat scat, thank you uh, And you see zoom
in her nostrils close and then she has a finger
that turns into a tentacle that knocks the lid of
(12:38):
the penoff. And I just want to know why why
did she have to close her nostrils and why did
she have to turn her finger into tendril and not
just knock the lid of the penoff with a finger
and not still up her nostrils, if it makes any sense.
But there we are.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I still love that, you know who still Yeah, it's
great and everyone you know what's interesting most horror and
this is on purpose. But in Scream, everyone's one note.
Everyone is who they are, like Stu's crazy, Randy loves movies,
Nev Sydney is Sydney, and I know what you did
last summer. They're all just this, like I'm a prom king,
I am this, I am this person. I like, yeah,
(13:18):
I am this. This is all I am. But I
like that. In this one, Zeke smart but he failed,
but he also has problems with he doesn't know what
his parents are and he's just kind of acting out.
And then there's Stokes, who hides behind things because wants
to be an outsider and people think that she's something
that she's not. And then there's a guy who you know,
he's just tired of sports and he wants to be
something more you. And then you just have Elijah Wood
(13:40):
who likes taking photos and put him on his wall
and looking at move magazines called Boobyeah. He's fast, Yeah,
he's a nerd fast. And then there's Still, like, who's
just horrifying. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
He who's like, she's the edits for the newspaper, she's
the cheerleader, she's also an awful person who sucks everything.
And Mary Beth she's the new go but she's also
aid in queen.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And she understands a lot about humanity and the psyche
of teenagers.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, it's a surprising amount.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, just like you and I travel to a galaxy
far far away. We're there for a couple of days
and we meet locals and we're like, Oh, that's really
brave of you, And like how I'm wonder if is
a cliff notes, Like what is I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't quite get her plan because she latches onto
a real like ragtag group of outsiders even before everything
starts going down, Like Mary Bethe is talking to Zeke,
and she's talking to stokely who are like not influential
members of the community. Maybe she's like the fact that
the staff are already gonna take on, like the cheerleaders
(14:46):
in the football team. She's gonna like round up the stragers.
Maybe you don't have.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Been easier, Jay, you don't want we talked about this
some movie SMS of flakes. You don't want hormone driven outsiders.
You don't want the breakfast club. You want to go
to an office building with like two thousand adults working
there who hate their lives and just have ambitions that
from them and then infect them.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, just put put some bugs in the water cooler.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, and you know the conversation the waterboard chats are
gonna be great, by the way, because it needs water.
But yeah, just infect them because then they're just they're
just gonna be like, hey, what's up. It's working.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, just just get like this. The CEO of a
company who does who has one to one meetings with
their staff on a regular basis, and then just the
the ceo does the one to ones with the managers.
Man just have one to ones with their team people
and just go down that way. Everyone to one.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Infect Yeah, no one knows because everyone's just doing their
work with their cubicles and then just slowly spread. Don't
give it to like hormone driven kids, ridicuous. Dang it,
aliens learn this lesson what we need to do. That'd
be amazing if aliens take over and they're like, we
(15:57):
listen to the podcast, so we got that going for us.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Specifically the faculty episode. Nothing else. We just not even
the stuff about deep just the faculty.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Thanks guys, and everyone's like thanks, thanks Mark. All right, water,
do you want to do our water draft?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, we're gonna draft the wet scenes.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
All right, I'll let you go.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You go first, Okay, great, how many are we gonna do?
I've got a great I've got We'll do a fast
round too. Okay, So I'm gonna take my favorite bit
with water in the scene is just Robert Patrick as
the coach standing in the sprinklers just I think it's
(16:42):
Sloply or Casey. One of just looks out the window
and just sees him just stood there in the sprinklers,
just standing. It is great. I love his face. Rob
Patrick is an excellent at playing villains. He's done it
a lot. He's got the right face, he got the
right demeanor, and he's great. I love he plays two
different kinds of villains. He plays like pre uh possession,
(17:03):
insemination of it. He's just a hot ass coachure of
what nights, and then after that he's like a nicer
guy but real like evil. Yeah, like yeah, hey, and
I understand that you're not gonna be part of the team.
I'm not gonna stand in your way, but you can
tell there's evil good on that. It's great just him
standing in the in the sprinkits him and Beatie.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And then she comes back. But they have fun doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't think Mary Beth knows what this infection is
gonna be. Like everyone's depth. Yeah, literally she was in
the ocean. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm gonna go. There's an
entire montage where the teacher's lounge gets cleaned and it
gets restocked with water. There's like everything's messy, everything's dirty
and like but like you know, pre controversy, Harry Knowles
(17:53):
is in there, he's delivering water. There's all these water jugs,
there's a there's a shot of an entire cabinet full
of water bottles, and it's just it's a montage where
everything the office gets cleaned and gets completely stock with water.
And it made me very happy because there's so many
deliberate water shots. So that's my first pick.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, I feel like the main reason we're talking about
this that came up as the pool scene at the end.
Oh yeah, yeah, so we kind of have to take
the pool, which is it. It's a big scene. It's
a long scene, so it feels almost like cheating to
take it as one thing. But it's great, yes, and
the monster is it doesn't it look awesome. You don't
see it in the light for much, but when you do,
(18:32):
it does look great, especially when you factory in this
is nineteen ninety eight. And when it dives into the
water and it just starts cutting through those waves the pool,
it's going so fast. Yeah, it's like it's terrifyingly fast
because Casey and cyclear running around and it jumps in
the water and like, oh, because it's going to get
to the other side way before what they do. And it's
it's like, well, there's there's Rudere's stuff. And then when
(18:56):
it grabs stokelycluded aw goes down hard, has a real
face against the hard her tiles she's under for a
long time. Casey just gets it with a stick. And
but then the alien, I don't know if it has
like prehensile lips, so it uses these like face claws
(19:18):
to bear its lips back to expose its teeth, which
is a nice design of the creature. You they see
the same thing with the little one earlier when it
has to put its lips back to show the teeth.
If it doesn't do that, can it bite or it's
odd design choice, but I liked it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah the monster. Look, it's just I love a practical monster.
And I don't know why it goes into the pool,
but it goes in the pool. And you're right, the above,
like the overhead shot of its swimming is gorgeous. I
love that scene so much. Yeah, it's it's not the
longest pool bit, but it just looks amazing. Yeah, so
I'm glad you went with that one. That one's really good. Okay,
(19:57):
this is really random, but you know when they're walking
out of the school and they're looking at all the
teenagers and they're kind of like all the teenagers are
looking back at them. When they're gonna get into their
car and drive to Zeke's house, if you notice a
lot of them have water bottles, Like yeah, it's like
they're all holding water bottles. But eventually when like then
(20:20):
there's another scene where there's an extra right behind Zeke
when he's getting yelled at by fom K Johnson and
she just has a gigantic water bottle. Like we're talking
like more than a couple of leaders just right behind
him holding it there. So I love that they're like, Okay,
we don't have a lot of water bottles, so just
give them to all the extras behind the actors. And
so I kind of like like a bunch of water bottles.
(20:41):
At one scene, there's people waiting in line for a
water fountain while they're walking, but it's it's a really
like and then the guys want to buy all the
scat there's a girl with a gigantic water bottle behind him.
So yeah, I just I love all the school stuff
with the kids because there's so many random water bottles
sprinkled all over the place.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah nice, Yeah, everywhere. It's a subtle choice. Yeah great,
I'm my. You mentioned the Teacher's lande being queen. My
next pick is in the Teacher's Land, it's Pipe Laurie
throwing water in her face. I always think of Pipe
Laurie as being like a proper actress, a real like
(21:20):
classic Hollywood did, like real proper films. And then this
year I've seen her in uh Twin Peaks, which you
haven't watched Twin Peaks. No, I won't spoil what happens.
But in season two she gets to do some wild
stuff and she's I mean both seems she's she's a
lot of fun. She's really planned up. But season two
(21:40):
there are some choices that wouldn't be made today. They wouldn't,
they wouldn't, they wouldn't do that. But I just like
how down she was to do whatever, and so just
having her be like a uptight teacher. He has taken
over by aliens and then needs to have a drink
but throws water in her face first is it's just funny.
That's pipe LORI. Let's go herd to do this, and
she's game for doing it. I think that that entertained me.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's such a funny scene because you never see him
doing that again. Yeah, it's that one side just smacks
it right in her face. That's perfect. We'll go with
the rain scene. Then at the end when when Sean
hot to see runs up to the coach and they're
all just standing on the field soaking up the rain,
(22:23):
like I think like Stan runs up to them and yeah,
it's like, oh gosh, But this movie Jay, it features
a lot of variations of water. There's rain, there's showers,
there's water bottles, there's pools like, it doesn't discriminate on
its water action. So yeah, I'm gonna go with the
rain storm and then it stops and everything's pretty dry.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, they're just they're just out there sucking up the rain.
I feel like they should if they lie down in
a puddle, they'd get it'd be better. But they're just there.
It looks, it looks better just the whole the whole
football team tendrils out going for it. Yeah, that's great.
I'll go for the shower scene. I'll go at Stan.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
And and the teacher missus uh oh yeah, the older teacher,
I haven't got her name, just in in the shower.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
It's a real like what's going on here? At this
point you kind of feel like the teacher has been
taken over. This is weird, but this isn't working for her.
She's having a bad reaction to being taken over aliens
and she's like falling apart. Like a bit of her
scalp comes out in Stan's hand, and this is again
like Stan, he's not the typical job quarterback. He's trying
(23:38):
to console this old elderly woman who's falling, literally falling apart,
in the shower.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Stands a good dude. Yeah, we need to get her name,
teacher who broke it? Yeah, me too, we talked about her. Yeah,
miss Brummel. There it is.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
She's not on the Wikipedia page.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But yeah. And he hugs her too, and he's real
gentle until he pulls the hair out of her hair.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Susan Willis, it's her name, missus Brummel. Susan Willis. That's
a good.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So the shower scenes, it's him in the shower, stands
a good dude. I like him with with Stokes when
when she bumps in like a beast, like open your eyes,
like if you didn't paint your eyes shut. These two
love each other. It's gonna be like a War of
the Roses movie with those two later on. Yeah, the
way that they fight. But no, okay, so you got
(24:32):
the shower scene. You know what I'll do when you
know when our our teacher, mister Tate. So there's a
scene where he wants to get coffee doesn't work, and
then he has a mug. His mug but then he
pours vodka in it and then he just drinks vodka
while teaching. He's just on chapter six. All the time,
by the way. Yeah, we've been on this for two years,
(24:53):
mister Tate. But then later on when he gets infected
and there's the water montage, he's drinking water in front
of the class, not booze anymore. So that's one problem
being one of these aliens, Jay, because booze is a diuretic,
and so you probably don't want to drink alcohol. So
(25:14):
you can't have a sweet I pa when you're an alien.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Oh no, So well, I think that's probably not their concern.
They consent it is taking over the world, but maybe
they can have a little bit. Maybe like a little
bit of alcohol has more of an effect on them
because of the dehydrating nature of it.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, because then I just have to go well, I mean,
I wonder if they do have a berkie in their stomach.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Because like we should, like humans shouldn't drink alcohol. We do, Yeah,
lots of it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, recently bought some passion fruit room. It's quite delicious,
That's what.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's what I'd be drinking in Bali when I'm hot,
when the world's being taken over and they're looking for
a king.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, just sipping sipping my cocktail and.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The line yeah, whatever, the line is great. So my
fifth final one is going to be involved the science teacher.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Always amused me that John Stewart is in this film,
mister Furlong when they have the creature in the fish tank.
They when Casey like finds this thing on the on
the in the football pitch and brings it in and
put it in the tank and it like duplicates and
it's got tendrils and all the little teeth and it
bites his finger. I just really like the image of
the greature. It's like a nice design of it swimming around.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He sticks his finger in there.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It's stupid. It's a dumb thing to do. And then
he swears in front of all the kids.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And then later on that fish tank explodes during Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Falls on the here. I do like that there's not
much of a reaction to him swearing, so I feel
like he's the cool teacher who swears a little bit
and everyone's okay with it.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, he definitely seems like the cool teacher I love.
At the end. Yeah, okay, let's see so we have
the rings. I love it the football game when when
BB Neworth is there, there's just one random guy with
a gigantic water bottle behind her. They didn't have enough
money to get to everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
These days, that wouldn't be the ordinary. Everyone everyone has
giant water balls these days, so it just be it's just.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
A guy Stanley's everywhere. But yeah, they you know, it's
researching bb Newarth for this, and there's a reddit page
where it's like, what a smoke show? It's BBC. Yeah, yeah,
I only knew her for Cheers and so I was
like Jesu wise, But yeah, Bobe's not coming back.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Not a Jumanji fan. She's she's the kids like aunt
in the original Jumunji.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
And then and then she crops up in the sequel
of the New ones, uh Jumanji Welcome to Jungle the
Next Level because playing the same character. And then she
like hooks up with Danny de Beato at the end
of it.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh, maybe I've just blocked those moveds. The only thing
I remember is my David Allen Greer on top of
the crocodile screaming.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Sure, yeah, what did I see dagon? Recently we've watched
something that's that's my wife, that's that's the cup from
uh from it was blank? No, I can't this is bad.
Why can't I think about what I've seen recently? Uh,
(28:20):
I'm just scrolling down his IMDb. This will be cut out.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
So while you're thinking about it, I will include. They're
talking about Robinson Crusoe in class. He's stranded out an island,
a lot of water around there, Stoked drinks from a
water fountain. I have sean but uh stand drinks from
the water fountain, nice little red herrings there. There is
oh the coach when he quits the football team. He's
(28:47):
at the swimming pool and the coach is just standing
by the water for some reason, even though he shouldn't
be there, which I like a lot. And then they
have let's see more water fountain drinking. They want to
buy all the scat when jeon at heart and there's
a lot the fish tank explodes. There's a rainstorm pool scene. Yeah,
(29:09):
I mean I think we did it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I think so. I'm still trying to find still the
color purple it was. It was a color purple, the
color purple. My wife was watching that. I was like, Hey,
it's doll Anger and who was from?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
He's a.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
He is he's a man. So, yes, he's a bad
guy in the because that's what they are in that film.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
He's also on Michael's Navy, which is a very water
heavy film.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's on the list. Uh well together. I don't know
if that movie has a cast. I've never seen it,
but I'm aware. Yeah, it's got three going on. Sure,
Hey we've we've covered lower rated.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's true, Jaws the Event. Yeah, well, let's see there's
a lot of let's see water yeah, I mean, oh,
we forgot to mention the beginning. The coach flips the
water and then he has an issue with the sprinkler.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
When he's If I had a sixth pick would have
been from Patrick fighting with the sprinkler and punching. I
already had him with the sprinkle at the stars.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's probably why Mary Beth went after him.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hey he's taken out of the water. Gonna better get
this guy. Yeah. Yeah. So that's that's all the water
scenes in the Faculty. Far more than you'd expect it
to be in an alien invasion film, but plenty enough
for us to cover on a podcast dedicated to a
quieting films.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
You need to rank these real quick, Okay, Oh, I
need I need a ranking, so I need you to rank.
Let's see, I have I have all the insults from
this gutter slut all right, okay, yeah, blood fart sure,
piss wad okay, tit bags sure, dingus, which how do
(31:03):
you rank those?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Dingus is my favorite. That's the one that made me
laugh because dingers just feel so stupid. That's number one.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
This what's probably next because I'm going by I'm ranking
them in terms of which one is the least offensive
as being the better ones because I feel like, gut
a slot isn't isn't nice, it's it's it's an insult,
but it's not even like a fun So I'm putting
that at the bottom. And then I'm putting tit bags
but black that's very gendered, Yeah, I feel like and
(31:38):
then blood for that's that's an odd one. That's in
the middle. So yeah, but dingus thingers, you can't go
wrong with dingis.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's a great one. It's such a nineties insult. I
miss nineties insults that you're insulted, but you're kind of like,
that's not specific at all, So it's it's negative, but
you're not calling me something horrifying. It's more of just
our dingers. I like that. Yeah, but I like blood
fart because that should be the name of a horror movie.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I mean, maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Rennie Harland directs Blood Fart two.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Terror Blood Fart Lake returned to blood Fart Lake from
twenty eight and twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Is that real?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yep? The legend of blood Fart Lake is well legendary.
When a group of college kids head off to their
friends cabin for a little high octane sex weekend, they
will get more than they bargained for. In the evil
scare Scarecrow Killer Jimmy Van Brunt, seems like nobody is safe.
It's spooky cabins in the woods by the lakes these days.
(32:51):
This is a movie directed by Chris Ever, starring Jesse Ames,
Andrew Bates, Casey Balker, Nicol Fury playing thunder ambrosure a name,
two characters, two actors playing teen eight oh no sorry
just one, and then their credited dat on as teen
(33:13):
eight teen ape as the character that's odd.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, we might not do that one.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
No, I don't think we'll cover that one, but we
did it. I think this might be an adult film.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Mm hmmm, yeah, might not cover that one.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Hey, Jay, what do you think Let's just talk about this?
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
How deep is?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No, great, it's very blue. It's very very blue. Fantastic. Okay,
well I'll do it for the faculty. I think I
think we covered the aquatic scenes of the faculty. This
is coming out the week before Halloween. Next week. I've
got Don't Look Now down ask for next week. I
still don't really know how aquatic. Don't think now is.
(34:03):
So I'm going to watch that before officially confirming as
being our Halloween film. But right now next week might
be Don't Look Now just a film I need to see.
I never have, so come back next week. Never seen,
don't know, I don't on DVD for at least a decade,
just never never popped it in the player.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
In Venice and pond work.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to I don't really know what
it's about. I just know someone's in it, and that's
fine by me saying you can find everything Mark does,
everyt movies, films, and flex find everything idea of it,
Life versus film dot com. Follow this podcast at Deep Blue,
Seapod or email as deep seapod at gmail dot com.
(34:45):
Next week don't now. If not, it might might be not.
I've got nightmare shark down as an option for next
week as well, So if we don't do don't Now
or do not night mess up, might do something else,
who knows, come back next week from a horror themed
episode whatever we cover. But as for the faculty, I
have been Jacob.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And I'm marked blood Fard Hoffmeyer.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I will creep the boo scream you next week.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
H
Hello, and welcome to Deep Blue Sea. In the podcast,
I am Mark water Fountain Hoffmeier.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And I am Jay. Why are you naked? Cluet? And
this isn't this isn't Deep the podcast. It's it's still Halloween.
It's still October, so this is of course Creeper Boo
scream the podcast. On this show, we've been to the
entire Deeper Sea triogy, scene by scene. We'll do it again,
but not today. Today we're doing one of our infamous
Deep Blue scenes. Creeper Boo screams, No, I don't know where.
(00:45):
We're looking to be at the aquatic scenes of another
horror film, this time is the faculty? What is the faculty?
As a nineteen ninety eight sci fi horror tried about
Robert Rodriguez, It's Invasion of the body snatches, but for kids,
you know, for kids with a bunch of students find
that they're the teaching style. The faculty of their school
are being taken over by aliens trying to take over
(01:07):
the world. I don't know, but they don't. They do
like water quite a lot. This is at demark earlier,
far wetter than I remembered it being. This film so
we're going to talk about a bunch of aquatic scenes
that are throughout this film. This film stars everyone and
Bruster cleared of our Laura Harris, Josh hartn At Shawan Hatto,
Si Samahayak, Fanky Yanson, Piper Laurie, Christen McDonald, BB Newarth,
(01:29):
Robert Patrick. Usher not in this film as much as
he as he's credited as being on all of the marketing.
Usher is front of the poster. John Stewart, Daniel van Bergen,
Elijah Wood, Summer Phoenix, and John Abrams amongst the cast
of this film. A huge cast, ridiculous cast, great ridiculous,
and a lot of them die via water or lack
(01:50):
of like thereof.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I love this movie.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's great. I haven't seen it in years. I was
thrilled to watch it again last night.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Delilah is horrifying.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Delia sucks, but Ordania Brewster is good.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
It's annoying because Jordania Brewster is really good at being horrible,
and you know how much I love the Fast and
Furious franchise, but she's kind of relegated to being the
sister in that one. So it's I'm not saying I
like the character I'm not saying Delilah's by any means
a good character, but I like the performance because it's
much different than the Fast and Furious performances. Now, Jay,
I don't know if the episode is going to be
(02:23):
released yet on movie Some of Flakes, but Zanati and
I are doing a scream rip off series and we
had a discussion about this. So, so mary Beth comes
to Earth, comes Ohio and infiltrates the teachers, and you know,
it does it affects behavior, and they're they're like a
hive mind. Some are controlled, some aren't. But then there's Delilah,
who she's still delilahing and she's not drinking water when
(02:47):
she's had this thing in her ear. So like, you know,
a lot of like the coach becomes nicer, other people
become more confident. Actually, fan Ky Johnson becomes much more aggressive.
And the football players. It's supposed to be a peaceful world,
but the football players are blittering people. So I don't
I don't. I think mary Beth has lost control of
her invasion.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Or maybe the the invasion process can be more aggressive,
but once the invasion is complete, everyone can settle down.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So it's like mad Max and then it becomes like
a fascist world.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Sure interesting maybe maybe okay now, but yeah, yeah, delight
her is still delighting. But well she's she knows, she's
got her glasses on, and she's got her hair up
or down. I forget. Yeah. So, but it's it's not
clear at what point she was taken over. I guess
(03:40):
it's not like definitely she's.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Got Elijah Wood, Sigourney Weaver and being horribly homophobic and
just horrifying when she has this bug in her ear.
So I wonder if mary Beth is like, what did
I do? What did I unleash here?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Or is that mary Beth? Is that the true? Is
she a bigger, the biggoted alien queen.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I just I think depending on who you are, the
control is worse or like better or worse, like she
has more control of someone or less control because because.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Light is quite a strong character, quite a strong personality,
she's hard to control. More more Delilah comes out.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, it's like twenty percent sea creature alien and eighty
percent Delilah. I like it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean that the Yeah, but just you know
the character of stan Seana Toci comes to her and
is like I'm a I'm a stereotypical football jock star quarterback,
but I'm gonna like step away from that stereotype and
get back into my studies and earn the low grades
I deserve. And she's like, no, you suck, get back
(04:47):
to you, dick it.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Really she busted the teacher for his alcoholism, No one
cares like she's she burns bridges and so I think
I think she just doesn't. She probably got it from
the beginning, and Mary Beth is like, I don't even
know if I have control of her.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So I hate that she gets a happy end. I
really hate that she like we're seeing I guess at
the end of the well, you kind of feel like
Casey has like fancied her and liked her apart from
when she's not being a bad person, and so they
end up together. But you said this off of Mike,
(05:26):
that she's she just goes from like the popular person
to the popular person. So he like saved the world, so
he's a popular person now. But hmmm, I kind of
wanted her to die. I saw her as being like
a villain. She should have been one of the ones
taken out of the drugs jammed into our eye like
John Stewart.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Or at least have an eyepatch and some missing fingers
at something. Yeah, but I don't think it's happy because
she's with the star quarterback and then she's with the
world famous guy. Like as soon as he gets less famous,
she's out.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You don't. Yeah, this is like around about Deep Impact
as well, where she becomes really famous for spotting the
story coming and Li Spiski's oh yeah, let's good.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, so she's going to ride it out for as
long as possible and then you know, then leave them.
Is it happy? I mean Zeke stating a teacher.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, Bazeque is a mature student. Yeah, yeah, failed, So
I feel like I do find it odd that he's
joined the American football team towards like midway through his
final year. But hope, I mean presumably his final year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, because I don't they're not a home coming yet,
so yeah, they're probably halfway through the season. I figured
Elijah Wood would have joined the football team because he's fast,
like just watching the entire team is just chasing him
in circles and they can't get them, but.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
He does fall over. This is this is in one
of the pool things. He does a card CARDI Burke
color Blake, so he doesn't cult of Blake and he
slides around on by the pool.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean that's times, that's fairy. Oh sure, those tiles
they put on that pool are horrifying.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And there's an alien, Yeah, distractingly huge alien.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's like, guys, I don't know if you should put
this tile next to a wet floor. There's gonna be
death cause but whatever, you know, fancy school football money.
Maybe the football players swim in there. But maybe a
lot of water action though, because these are water aliens,
Like the alien comes from a planet of oceans that
dries up, like a planet that's all water, which is I.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Mean, it's a big it's a big alien. So if
there's a lot of them up there, then I can
understand they drink a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's but is it salt water? They don't really answer
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, it seems to be okay in chlorinats.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That fluoride in the water doesn't affect them, so it's yeah,
they just it's just water.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, just like like the West. Maybe they got some
kind of internal filter.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They have like a burkie and their stomach a zero filter.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So yeah, yeah, it's a different you figure they get
War of the World's but they're just.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's a water are a big enemy of aliens in
in like signs hates they hate water.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Water.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The worlds isn't water, it's it's common. Yeah. So I
feel like this will be a good planet for this
breed of aliens to come down and conker because there
is so much water and work so much water and
waste so much water.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, so I mean it's good location. You attack a
football city, football town, go get everyone at the football game,
branch out from there. Also, last thing before we get
into the water, Jake, you come from an alien planet
and you want to you want to turn the entire
world into just your population again, which is gonna be
tough because like how do you do that in say,
(08:53):
you know, landlocked areas? Yeah, whatever, what evs. There's a
lot of ocean. It if like first and foremost, you
start hanging out with this crew while your world domination
is going because you're like, Hey, that's that person's cool.
This person's cool. I'm kind of interested.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I have hanging out with the breakfast club.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But if I, okay, Jay, if I came to Earth.
I would start invasions in different towns and just keep traveling.
So that way, when the breakfast club is like, we
got to get the queen or the king, I'm in
BALI sure. Yeah, So I was like, if we kill
the leader, we kill everyone, Like where is he? And
then just cut to me in I am rocking out
(09:35):
in in uh Mikinos, just next to the ocean.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, because you don't. You don't need this only fail
if you needed the queen to be the one to
spawn to take over people. But you don't, because you
see like baby New Earth and and I have gone,
and the Hyperlorious was trying think Pipulorio see that them
(10:00):
like doing it, just the two of them. So yeah,
you don't. You don't need Marybeth to be doing it
watching is knowing that she's the bits. It's obvious. Yeah,
just the way through. I think the first time around,
I didn't. I didn't know you could.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Just you don't have to be there.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, just you go go back into space, like you don't,
just head back and wait, hang out, wait a year.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, and even if the people try out and die, whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You got, you go under earth. You start spreading the news.
You build some transparent aluminium fish tank like in Star Trek.
You take it up into space, hang out in the
fish tank for a while, come back down when you're
at the water plinancials done.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Hang out in a bathtub like in the Shape of
Water there we can hang out in a bathtub. Also,
this continues the long trend of like naked space lady
movies who are in water.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So like there's species species under the skin.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Has a lot of white like goo and ocean work.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
There. I don't know if there's not much life forceing.
But I don't know what it is about about Hollywood
and naked space ladies.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But this is another I think it's just the naked part.
It's it's Hollywood seems to like the naked part. Okay,
although like this this, this is a film that takes
a while to get to the nudity. Normally in these
kind of films it would be like upfront, yeah, this
is this is the mid third.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Act, and it actually leads to a very funny line,
why are you naked? Like that's it. It almost makes
it worth it. It's wildly gratuitous, but it's it's a
funny line.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But it doesn't I don't think it feels. It's not
like it's just I do find it odd, find it unnecessary,
but it's not done sexily. I think she.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Gets so big then so little.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And why when Casey is trapping her in the seats,
I doesn't she get them all again? She is a
monster trug getting trapped in this little thing and just
becomes small to become a person, become a smaller than that.
I'm sure you can shape. She had to transform into
a rabbit. I don't know why you're just staying as
(12:11):
a monster.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's a great point.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Never mind, I do love I do love the flashback
like wait, I saw you take the test, the flash
back to her taking the test, and like, zoom in
and she's got the she got the pen full of
scat scat scat, thank you uh, And you see zoom
in her nostrils close and then she has a finger
that turns into a tentacle that knocks the lid of
(12:38):
the penoff. And I just want to know why why
did she have to close her nostrils and why did
she have to turn her finger into tendril and not
just knock the lid of the penoff with a finger
and not still up her nostrils, if it makes any sense.
But there we are.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I still love that, you know who still Yeah, it's
great and everyone you know what's interesting most horror and
this is on purpose. But in Scream, everyone's one note.
Everyone is who they are, like Stu's crazy, Randy loves movies,
Nev Sydney is Sydney, and I know what you did
last summer. They're all just this, like I'm a prom king,
I am this, I am this person. I like, yeah,
(13:18):
I am this. This is all I am. But I
like that. In this one, Zeke smart but he failed,
but he also has problems with he doesn't know what
his parents are and he's just kind of acting out.
And then there's Stokes, who hides behind things because wants
to be an outsider and people think that she's something
that she's not. And then there's a guy who you know,
he's just tired of sports and he wants to be
something more you. And then you just have Elijah Wood
(13:40):
who likes taking photos and put him on his wall
and looking at move magazines called Boobyeah. He's fast, Yeah,
he's a nerd fast. And then there's Still, like, who's
just horrifying. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
He who's like, she's the edits for the newspaper, she's
the cheerleader, she's also an awful person who sucks everything.
And Mary Beth she's the new go but she's also
aid in queen.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And she understands a lot about humanity and the psyche
of teenagers.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, it's a surprising amount.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, just like you and I travel to a galaxy
far far away. We're there for a couple of days
and we meet locals and we're like, Oh, that's really
brave of you, And like how I'm wonder if is
a cliff notes, Like what is I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't quite get her plan because she latches onto
a real like ragtag group of outsiders even before everything
starts going down, Like Mary Bethe is talking to Zeke,
and she's talking to stokely who are like not influential
members of the community. Maybe she's like the fact that
the staff are already gonna take on, like the cheerleaders
(14:46):
in the football team. She's gonna like round up the stragers.
Maybe you don't have.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Been easier, Jay, you don't want we talked about this
some movie SMS of flakes. You don't want hormone driven outsiders.
You don't want the breakfast club. You want to go
to an office building with like two thousand adults working
there who hate their lives and just have ambitions that
from them and then infect them.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, just put put some bugs in the water cooler.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, and you know the conversation the waterboard chats are
gonna be great, by the way, because it needs water.
But yeah, just infect them because then they're just they're
just gonna be like, hey, what's up. It's working.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, just just get like this. The CEO of a
company who does who has one to one meetings with
their staff on a regular basis, and then just the
the ceo does the one to ones with the managers.
Man just have one to ones with their team people
and just go down that way. Everyone to one.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Infect Yeah, no one knows because everyone's just doing their
work with their cubicles and then just slowly spread. Don't
give it to like hormone driven kids, ridicuous. Dang it,
aliens learn this lesson what we need to do. That'd
be amazing if aliens take over and they're like, we
(15:57):
listen to the podcast, so we got that going for us.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Specifically the faculty episode. Nothing else. We just not even
the stuff about deep just the faculty.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Thanks guys, and everyone's like thanks, thanks Mark. All right, water,
do you want to do our water draft?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, we're gonna draft the wet scenes.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
All right, I'll let you go.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You go first, Okay, great, how many are we gonna do?
I've got a great I've got We'll do a fast
round too. Okay, So I'm gonna take my favorite bit
with water in the scene is just Robert Patrick as
the coach standing in the sprinklers just I think it's
(16:42):
Sloply or Casey. One of just looks out the window
and just sees him just stood there in the sprinklers,
just standing. It is great. I love his face. Rob
Patrick is an excellent at playing villains. He's done it
a lot. He's got the right face, he got the
right demeanor, and he's great. I love he plays two
different kinds of villains. He plays like pre uh possession,
(17:03):
insemination of it. He's just a hot ass coachure of
what nights, and then after that he's like a nicer
guy but real like evil. Yeah, like yeah, hey, and
I understand that you're not gonna be part of the team.
I'm not gonna stand in your way, but you can
tell there's evil good on that. It's great just him
standing in the in the sprinkits him and Beatie.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And then she comes back. But they have fun doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't think Mary Beth knows what this infection is
gonna be. Like everyone's depth. Yeah, literally she was in
the ocean. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm gonna go. There's an
entire montage where the teacher's lounge gets cleaned and it
gets restocked with water. There's like everything's messy, everything's dirty
and like but like you know, pre controversy, Harry Knowles
(17:53):
is in there, he's delivering water. There's all these water jugs,
there's a there's a shot of an entire cabinet full
of water bottles, and it's just it's a montage where
everything the office gets cleaned and gets completely stock with water.
And it made me very happy because there's so many
deliberate water shots. So that's my first pick.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, I feel like the main reason we're talking about
this that came up as the pool scene at the end.
Oh yeah, yeah, so we kind of have to take
the pool, which is it. It's a big scene. It's
a long scene, so it feels almost like cheating to
take it as one thing. But it's great, yes, and
the monster is it doesn't it look awesome. You don't
see it in the light for much, but when you do,
(18:32):
it does look great, especially when you factory in this
is nineteen ninety eight. And when it dives into the
water and it just starts cutting through those waves the pool,
it's going so fast. Yeah, it's like it's terrifyingly fast
because Casey and cyclear running around and it jumps in
the water and like, oh, because it's going to get
to the other side way before what they do. And it's
it's like, well, there's there's Rudere's stuff. And then when
(18:56):
it grabs stokelycluded aw goes down hard, has a real
face against the hard her tiles she's under for a
long time. Casey just gets it with a stick. And
but then the alien, I don't know if it has
like prehensile lips, so it uses these like face claws
(19:18):
to bear its lips back to expose its teeth, which
is a nice design of the creature. You they see
the same thing with the little one earlier when it
has to put its lips back to show the teeth.
If it doesn't do that, can it bite or it's
odd design choice, but I liked it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah the monster. Look, it's just I love a practical monster.
And I don't know why it goes into the pool,
but it goes in the pool. And you're right, the above,
like the overhead shot of its swimming is gorgeous. I
love that scene so much. Yeah, it's it's not the
longest pool bit, but it just looks amazing. Yeah, so
I'm glad you went with that one. That one's really good. Okay,
(19:57):
this is really random, but you know when they're walking
out of the school and they're looking at all the
teenagers and they're kind of like all the teenagers are
looking back at them. When they're gonna get into their
car and drive to Zeke's house, if you notice a
lot of them have water bottles, Like yeah, it's like
they're all holding water bottles. But eventually when like then
(20:20):
there's another scene where there's an extra right behind Zeke
when he's getting yelled at by fom K Johnson and
she just has a gigantic water bottle. Like we're talking
like more than a couple of leaders just right behind
him holding it there. So I love that they're like, Okay,
we don't have a lot of water bottles, so just
give them to all the extras behind the actors. And
so I kind of like like a bunch of water bottles.
(20:41):
At one scene, there's people waiting in line for a
water fountain while they're walking, but it's it's a really
like and then the guys want to buy all the
scat there's a girl with a gigantic water bottle behind him.
So yeah, I just I love all the school stuff
with the kids because there's so many random water bottles
sprinkled all over the place.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah nice, Yeah, everywhere. It's a subtle choice. Yeah great,
I'm my. You mentioned the Teacher's lande being queen. My
next pick is in the Teacher's Land, it's Pipe Laurie
throwing water in her face. I always think of Pipe
Laurie as being like a proper actress, a real like
(21:20):
classic Hollywood did, like real proper films. And then this
year I've seen her in uh Twin Peaks, which you
haven't watched Twin Peaks. No, I won't spoil what happens.
But in season two she gets to do some wild
stuff and she's I mean both seems she's she's a
lot of fun. She's really planned up. But season two
(21:40):
there are some choices that wouldn't be made today. They wouldn't,
they wouldn't, they wouldn't do that. But I just like
how down she was to do whatever, and so just
having her be like a uptight teacher. He has taken
over by aliens and then needs to have a drink
but throws water in her face first is it's just funny.
That's pipe LORI. Let's go herd to do this, and
she's game for doing it. I think that that entertained me.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's such a funny scene because you never see him
doing that again. Yeah, it's that one side just smacks
it right in her face. That's perfect. We'll go with
the rain scene. Then at the end when when Sean
hot to see runs up to the coach and they're
all just standing on the field soaking up the rain,
(22:23):
like I think like Stan runs up to them and yeah,
it's like, oh gosh, But this movie Jay, it features
a lot of variations of water. There's rain, there's showers,
there's water bottles, there's pools like, it doesn't discriminate on
its water action. So yeah, I'm gonna go with the
rain storm and then it stops and everything's pretty dry.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, they're just they're just out there sucking up the rain.
I feel like they should if they lie down in
a puddle, they'd get it'd be better. But they're just there.
It looks, it looks better just the whole the whole
football team tendrils out going for it. Yeah, that's great.
I'll go for the shower scene. I'll go at Stan.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
And and the teacher missus uh oh yeah, the older teacher,
I haven't got her name, just in in the shower.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
It's a real like what's going on here? At this
point you kind of feel like the teacher has been
taken over. This is weird, but this isn't working for her.
She's having a bad reaction to being taken over aliens
and she's like falling apart. Like a bit of her
scalp comes out in Stan's hand, and this is again
like Stan, he's not the typical job quarterback. He's trying
(23:38):
to console this old elderly woman who's falling, literally falling apart,
in the shower.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Stands a good dude. Yeah, we need to get her name,
teacher who broke it? Yeah, me too, we talked about her. Yeah,
miss Brummel. There it is.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
She's not on the Wikipedia page.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But yeah. And he hugs her too, and he's real
gentle until he pulls the hair out of her hair.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Susan Willis, it's her name, missus Brummel. Susan Willis. That's
a good.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So the shower scenes, it's him in the shower, stands
a good dude. I like him with with Stokes when
when she bumps in like a beast, like open your eyes,
like if you didn't paint your eyes shut. These two
love each other. It's gonna be like a War of
the Roses movie with those two later on. Yeah, the
way that they fight. But no, okay, so you got
(24:32):
the shower scene. You know what I'll do when you
know when our our teacher, mister Tate. So there's a
scene where he wants to get coffee doesn't work, and
then he has a mug. His mug but then he
pours vodka in it and then he just drinks vodka
while teaching. He's just on chapter six. All the time,
by the way. Yeah, we've been on this for two years,
(24:53):
mister Tate. But then later on when he gets infected
and there's the water montage, he's drinking water in front
of the class, not booze anymore. So that's one problem
being one of these aliens, Jay, because booze is a diuretic,
and so you probably don't want to drink alcohol. So
(25:14):
you can't have a sweet I pa when you're an alien.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Oh no, So well, I think that's probably not their concern.
They consent it is taking over the world, but maybe
they can have a little bit. Maybe like a little
bit of alcohol has more of an effect on them
because of the dehydrating nature of it.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, because then I just have to go well, I mean,
I wonder if they do have a berkie in their stomach.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Because like we should, like humans shouldn't drink alcohol. We do, Yeah,
lots of it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, recently bought some passion fruit room. It's quite delicious,
That's what.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's what I'd be drinking in Bali when I'm hot,
when the world's being taken over and they're looking for
a king.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, just sipping sipping my cocktail and.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The line yeah, whatever, the line is great. So my
fifth final one is going to be involved the science teacher.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Always amused me that John Stewart is in this film,
mister Furlong when they have the creature in the fish tank.
They when Casey like finds this thing on the on
the in the football pitch and brings it in and
put it in the tank and it like duplicates and
it's got tendrils and all the little teeth and it
bites his finger. I just really like the image of
the greature. It's like a nice design of it swimming around.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He sticks his finger in there.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It's stupid. It's a dumb thing to do. And then
he swears in front of all the kids.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And then later on that fish tank explodes during Yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Falls on the here. I do like that there's not
much of a reaction to him swearing, so I feel
like he's the cool teacher who swears a little bit
and everyone's okay with it.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, he definitely seems like the cool teacher I love.
At the end. Yeah, okay, let's see so we have
the rings. I love it the football game when when
BB Neworth is there, there's just one random guy with
a gigantic water bottle behind her. They didn't have enough
money to get to everybody.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
These days, that wouldn't be the ordinary. Everyone everyone has
giant water balls these days, so it just be it's just.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
A guy Stanley's everywhere. But yeah, they you know, it's
researching bb Newarth for this, and there's a reddit page
where it's like, what a smoke show? It's BBC. Yeah, yeah,
I only knew her for Cheers and so I was
like Jesu wise, But yeah, Bobe's not coming back.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Not a Jumanji fan. She's she's the kids like aunt
in the original Jumunji.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
And then and then she crops up in the sequel
of the New ones, uh Jumanji Welcome to Jungle the
Next Level because playing the same character. And then she
like hooks up with Danny de Beato at the end
of it.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh, maybe I've just blocked those moveds. The only thing
I remember is my David Allen Greer on top of
the crocodile screaming.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Sure, yeah, what did I see dagon? Recently we've watched
something that's that's my wife, that's that's the cup from
uh from it was blank? No, I can't this is bad.
Why can't I think about what I've seen recently? Uh,
(28:20):
I'm just scrolling down his IMDb. This will be cut out.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
So while you're thinking about it, I will include. They're
talking about Robinson Crusoe in class. He's stranded out an island,
a lot of water around there, Stoked drinks from a
water fountain. I have sean but uh stand drinks from
the water fountain, nice little red herrings there. There is
oh the coach when he quits the football team. He's
(28:47):
at the swimming pool and the coach is just standing
by the water for some reason, even though he shouldn't
be there, which I like a lot. And then they
have let's see more water fountain drinking. They want to
buy all the scat when jeon at heart and there's
a lot the fish tank explodes. There's a rainstorm pool scene. Yeah,
(29:09):
I mean I think we did it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I think so. I'm still trying to find still the
color purple it was. It was a color purple, the
color purple. My wife was watching that. I was like, Hey,
it's doll Anger and who was from?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
He's a.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
He is he's a man. So, yes, he's a bad
guy in the because that's what they are in that film.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
He's also on Michael's Navy, which is a very water
heavy film.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's on the list. Uh well together. I don't know
if that movie has a cast. I've never seen it,
but I'm aware. Yeah, it's got three going on. Sure,
Hey we've we've covered lower rated.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's true, Jaws the Event. Yeah, well, let's see there's
a lot of let's see water yeah, I mean, oh,
we forgot to mention the beginning. The coach flips the
water and then he has an issue with the sprinkler.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
When he's If I had a sixth pick would have
been from Patrick fighting with the sprinkler and punching. I
already had him with the sprinkle at the stars.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's probably why Mary Beth went after him.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hey he's taken out of the water. Gonna better get
this guy. Yeah. Yeah. So that's that's all the water
scenes in the Faculty. Far more than you'd expect it
to be in an alien invasion film, but plenty enough
for us to cover on a podcast dedicated to a
quieting films.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
You need to rank these real quick, Okay, Oh, I
need I need a ranking, so I need you to rank.
Let's see, I have I have all the insults from
this gutter slut all right, okay, yeah, blood fart sure,
piss wad okay, tit bags sure, dingus, which how do
(31:03):
you rank those?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Dingus is my favorite. That's the one that made me
laugh because dingers just feel so stupid. That's number one.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
This what's probably next because I'm going by I'm ranking
them in terms of which one is the least offensive
as being the better ones because I feel like, gut
a slot isn't isn't nice, it's it's it's an insult,
but it's not even like a fun So I'm putting
that at the bottom. And then I'm putting tit bags
but black that's very gendered, Yeah, I feel like and
(31:38):
then blood for that's that's an odd one. That's in
the middle. So yeah, but dingus thingers, you can't go
wrong with dingis.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's a great one. It's such a nineties insult. I
miss nineties insults that you're insulted, but you're kind of like,
that's not specific at all, So it's it's negative, but
you're not calling me something horrifying. It's more of just
our dingers. I like that. Yeah, but I like blood
fart because that should be the name of a horror movie.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I mean, maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Rennie Harland directs Blood Fart two.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Terror Blood Fart Lake returned to blood Fart Lake from
twenty eight and twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Is that real?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yep? The legend of blood Fart Lake is well legendary.
When a group of college kids head off to their
friends cabin for a little high octane sex weekend, they
will get more than they bargained for. In the evil
scare Scarecrow Killer Jimmy Van Brunt, seems like nobody is safe.
It's spooky cabins in the woods by the lakes these days.
(32:51):
This is a movie directed by Chris Ever, starring Jesse Ames,
Andrew Bates, Casey Balker, Nicol Fury playing thunder ambrosure a name,
two characters, two actors playing teen eight oh no sorry
just one, and then their credited dat on as teen
(33:13):
eight teen ape as the character that's odd.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, we might not do that one.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
No, I don't think we'll cover that one, but we
did it. I think this might be an adult film.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Mm hmmm, yeah, might not cover that one.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Hey, Jay, what do you think Let's just talk about this?
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
How deep is?
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No, great, it's very blue. It's very very blue. Fantastic. Okay,
well I'll do it for the faculty. I think I
think we covered the aquatic scenes of the faculty. This
is coming out the week before Halloween. Next week. I've
got Don't Look Now down ask for next week. I
still don't really know how aquatic. Don't think now is.
(34:03):
So I'm going to watch that before officially confirming as
being our Halloween film. But right now next week might
be Don't Look Now just a film I need to see.
I never have, so come back next week. Never seen,
don't know, I don't on DVD for at least a decade,
just never never popped it in the player.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
In Venice and pond work.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to I don't really know what
it's about. I just know someone's in it, and that's
fine by me saying you can find everything Mark does,
everyt movies, films, and flex find everything idea of it,
Life versus film dot com. Follow this podcast at Deep Blue,
Seapod or email as deep seapod at gmail dot com.
(34:45):
Next week don't now. If not, it might might be not.
I've got nightmare shark down as an option for next
week as well, So if we don't do don't Now
or do not night mess up, might do something else,
who knows, come back next week from a horror themed
episode whatever we cover. But as for the faculty, I
have been Jacob.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And I'm marked blood Fard Hoffmeyer.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I will creep the boo scream you next week.
