0:53

us talk about today's episode as

0:55

always check the show notes for

0:58

content warnings about this week's episode

1:00

discussion and film. This week we

1:03

randomly rolled a 6 for Let's

1:05

Eat and a 3 for horror

1:07

icon. Here is episode 3. This

1:10

week, on Random

1:13

Number generator

1:15

number nine.

1:17

This week,

1:19

on Random

1:21

Number generator,

1:23

horror podcast

1:26

number nine,

1:28

Bad Taste,

1:30

1987. Warning!

1:32

Spoilers ahead.

1:39

If you're going to make a thing with other people,

1:41

whether a play or a movie or a dance or

1:43

whatever, just recommend you do it with people you

1:45

like. It's not to say there won't be

1:47

conflict or difficulties. If you've listened to this

1:50

show long enough, you know that Cecil and

1:52

I, as well as many of our guests,

1:54

have been members of both the Performance Art

1:56

Collective, the New York Neo Futurists, as well

1:58

as the podcast Welcome to Night Vale. We've

2:00

had our share of disagreements and

2:02

headbudding from time to time, but

2:04

ultimately we're just trying to do

2:06

shows that are fun for us

2:09

and our audiences alike. Some shows

2:11

are better than others. There are

2:13

episodes of Nightvale I go back

2:15

and listen to and think, holy

2:17

shit, this is incredible writing or

2:19

acting or music and maybe some

2:21

episodes aren't. at that high level,

2:24

but there's still ours and we

2:26

love them. We own our contributions

2:28

to these things and we like

2:30

them a lot. Every episode might

2:32

not be a banger, but every

2:34

episode is exactly what we wanted

2:36

to make and we all did

2:39

it together and that is rewarding.

2:41

And maybe Nightvale isn't the... best

2:43

example to put out into the

2:45

world that show really took off

2:47

in a way none of us

2:49

could predict it's super successful if

2:51

we could have predicted its success

2:53

we would be making dozens of

2:56

shows that are huge international hits

2:58

often success owes a lot to

3:00

chance but the Neo Futurist now

3:02

there's a group that continues to

3:04

churn out hundreds of short plays

3:06

every year to audiences ranging in

3:08

size from 10 to 110 people.

3:11

The Neos don't have the vast

3:13

crowds that Nightvale has, but I

3:15

would argue both are equal in

3:17

their success. Both organizations evolve people

3:19

doing things they love doing, making

3:21

shows they want to see, that

3:23

no one else in the world

3:26

was making before they came along,

3:28

and they do it as friends

3:30

and colleagues. You want to write

3:32

a play where people spit biscuit

3:34

ingredients into your mouth, and then

3:36

you chew it all into dough

3:38

while whimsical folk music plays in

3:41

the background. We got you, let's

3:43

make this art happen. I don't

3:45

know the behind-the-scenes stories of Peter

3:47

Jackson's schlocky 1987 classic bad taste.

3:49

Maybe they all hated each other

3:51

and still managed to make a

3:53

cult favorite of special effects excellence,

3:56

maybe, but this thing definitely looks

3:58

like a movie that people had

4:00

a blast working on. It's unlike

4:02

anything outside of trauma films from

4:04

that era. It's a wacky comedy

4:06

with outrageously graphic gore and guts.

4:08

I didn't ever have to... gag

4:11

like I did in one of

4:13

our previous Peter Jackson films though

4:15

the communal vomit drinking scene got

4:17

me real, real close. And to

4:19

that I say good on you

4:21

Peter Jackson, you're a kiwi treasure.

4:23

Hi, Cecil. Hi, Jeffrey. What's the

4:26

grossest thing you've ever eaten? Oh

4:28

no! The grossest thing I've ever

4:30

eaten. I've certainly had like badly

4:32

cooked food. You know, like I

4:34

have a tendency to stay away

4:36

from calamari, unless it's like, excellently

4:38

prepared, because I think I just

4:41

too many times I'd be like,

4:43

oh, I'm gonna get the fried.

4:45

Oh, this takes like bouncy balls

4:47

that have been covered in breadcrumbs.

4:49

It does get sad robbery. Yeah,

4:51

a bit, a bit. I mean,

4:53

I've had some really gamey food.

4:56

Like I remember there was like

4:58

this one restaurant that lasted a

5:00

hot minute in Knoxville that was

5:02

like, like, like, weird wild meats

5:04

like buffalo and emu and I

5:06

don't know human for all I

5:08

know and I remember it being

5:11

like this is not delicious or

5:13

at least not for my taste

5:15

yeah I was like man I'm

5:17

just like chomping down on like

5:19

a bar of iron yeah I

5:21

was trying to think of that

5:23

myself like I remember in I

5:25

think it was in sixth grade

5:28

I don't know, we had like

5:30

fries at our lunch and I

5:32

just grabbed a whole bunch of

5:34

ketchup packets. I'm sitting there with

5:36

my tray and I just was

5:38

dousing my fries and ketchup, love

5:40

fries and ketchup, you know, whatever.

5:43

And anyways, somebody saw the pile

5:45

of empty ketchup packets sitting on

5:47

my tray and are like, oh

5:49

my God, you've eaten so much

5:51

ketchup. I'm like, I love ketchup.

5:53

And I had like two left.

5:55

And they were like, finish those

5:58

off. It's got to be a

6:00

record, right? Like most catch up.

6:02

And so I opened a catch

6:04

up packet and then I straight

6:06

just sucked it into my mouth.

6:08

And I was like gagging. It

6:10

was so. Is it? A little

6:13

bit, it's just so acidic. I

6:15

don't like ketchup. And it's a

6:17

little, like, ketchup is so mildly

6:19

chunky and slimy. I don't like

6:21

it. I couldn't eat ketchup. I

6:23

don't think I, I think I

6:25

went months without having ketchup. You

6:28

would do it on ketchup. Yeah.

6:30

I was like, oh. I mean

6:32

I did that to myself. I

6:34

did I did a similar thing

6:36

to myself with rice crispy treats

6:38

when I was a kid. Oh,

6:40

yeah, I was like pretty young

6:43

and there's like a big family

6:45

party going on with like all

6:47

the adults were in one room

6:49

and me and my brother were

6:51

sort of put in the kitchen

6:53

of my aunt's kitchen and she

6:55

had made rice crispy treats that

6:58

I ate and in top. higher

7:00

baking sheet of rice crispy treats.

7:02

And then proceeded to vomit like

7:04

a hose. And I have literally

7:06

never had one again to this

7:08

day. That's amazing. I think just

7:10

watching enough like baking competition shows

7:13

where they have to use rice

7:15

crispy treats basically as a mold

7:17

for certain cakes to make a

7:19

shape. Yeah. I didn't even have

7:21

the rice crispy treat experience you

7:23

had, but watching enough of people

7:25

making them constantly, I'm like, I

7:28

never want one, I'm good. Yeah,

7:30

rice crispy treats in fondent. I'm

7:32

like, yeah, you technically can eat

7:34

these foods. And yes, this is

7:36

a good structure for your, is

7:38

it cake or is it a

7:40

toaster competition? Uh-huh. But just because

7:42

you can doesn't mean you should.

7:45

Right, right. I love Marsapan. Just

7:47

give me this straight from the

7:49

tube. Well, compared to the shit

7:51

we see in this movie, Marsapan

7:53

sounds delicious. Right, it does. Some

7:55

of the things in this movie

7:57

could have been made of Marsapan.

8:00

Yeah. Maybe that's it. If I

8:02

ever go on The Great British

8:04

Baking Show, I'm gonna do a

8:06

dead alive slash bad tape. Like

8:08

maybe like a like a head

8:10

and a torso with like a

8:12

the scalp cut off. Yes And

8:15

with like a spoon stuck into

8:17

its brain where it's like some

8:19

type yeah where you dig out

8:21

like a kind of a pudding.

8:23

Yes. Yes And the cake part

8:25

the like the sculpture part is

8:27

the like head and torso That

8:30

would be so good. And it

8:32

looks like Peter Jackson. Uh-huh. I

8:34

thought about I always do these

8:36

backgrounds for our zoom things just

8:38

mostly to amuse myself but also

8:40

to but they and we post

8:42

the yeah and you and these

8:45

go we always post the raw

8:47

feed on feed on YouTube so

8:49

I almost went with the shot

8:51

of Peter Jackson like eating out

8:53

of this man's head and I

8:55

just thought I just don't feel

8:57

like I just don't watch that

9:00

on YouTube for an hour and

9:02

a half. Yes they can. So

9:04

I've just got the crazy aliens

9:06

with their but sticking out of

9:08

the jeans. Oh my god. That

9:10

was revealed. That was very funny.

9:12

So if you want to I

9:15

highly recommend going back and listening

9:17

to our dead alive episode from

9:19

God summer of 2020 when it

9:21

was like one of the first

9:23

10 shows. Like one of the

9:25

first 10 yeah one of the

9:27

top 10 first 10 and That

9:30

movie I said in the intro

9:32

to that to that episode that

9:34

movie made me gag There's a

9:36

scene in it that involves an

9:38

ear and putting Yep, really really

9:40

just caused my gag reflex to

9:42

initiate and this I don't think

9:45

this movie is quite as gross,

9:47

but it's disgusting. Oh yeah, delightfully

9:49

so I'd say this movie goes

9:51

harder into the like action movie

9:53

yes bits Yes. Because the other

9:55

thing I think the zombies were

9:57

a little bit more gross in

10:00

in dead live brain dead. But

10:02

in this one it's it's like

10:04

we do get some gross stuff

10:06

but it is much more like

10:08

bang bang bang shoot them up

10:10

explosion explosion pau pau pau pau.

10:12

And both are very very funny

10:14

like darkly. Yeah. and like slapstick

10:17

and slapstick uh-huh like people tripping

10:19

on like piles of shit oh

10:21

my god the hammer fight in

10:23

which they're just like constantly banging

10:25

hammers uh-huh it's so dumb and

10:27

so good I was just thinking

10:29

about when I was watching this

10:32

yesterday I was thinking about growing

10:34

up on you know watching like

10:36

three stooges reruns on uHF TV

10:38

or whatever and and the thing

10:40

about the three stooges and especially

10:42

old comedy slapstick comedy literally slap

10:44

and stick comedy yeah that they're

10:47

so violent but there's never any

10:49

gore because they're either like a

10:51

Warner Brothers cartoon or they're these

10:53

three men poking each other in

10:55

the eyes short there's no ramifications

10:57

like like you don't see curly

10:59

you know like like rolling around

11:02

in pain because as I got

11:04

poked yeah and then I think

11:06

a more modern version of that

11:08

was the movie home alone where

11:10

in these short burglars get just

11:12

destroyed in a way that they

11:14

should be dead. Oh, absolutely. This

11:17

is a movie that uses all

11:19

of that kind of slapstick, but

11:21

it's like, no, let's actually go

11:23

with what would happen if you

11:25

slammed a sledgehammer across somebody's nogging.

11:27

Uh-huh. You know, like when you

11:29

have to tuck your brains back

11:32

inside your head and then find

11:34

a cute hat to put on

11:36

it so you can continue living.

11:38

that perfect like that little skull

11:40

latch that keeps opening on the

11:42

back of his head is so

11:44

gross and so funny. Pound for

11:47

pound that's probably my favorite gag

11:49

like the reoccurring gag is the

11:51

the scalp. Yeah. I also wanted

11:53

to note something that it took

11:55

me a little bit to wrap

11:57

my head around is that okay

11:59

so Peter Jackson is in this

12:02

movie like he directed this film

12:04

but he also stars in it.

12:06

He plays two parts two parts.

12:08

Yes. He plays Robert, the alien,

12:10

who's captured. He's like the henchman

12:12

number one alien. And when you

12:14

see Robert, you're like, oh. Peter

12:17

Jackson. Yeah. But he also plays

12:19

Derek. Is that him as Derek?

12:21

I thought so. It is. And

12:23

I saw it in the listing.

12:25

I'm like, surely this is wrong.

12:27

Maybe I have this Derek. Maybe

12:29

the guy I think is Derek

12:32

isn't Derek is that they look

12:34

so different. And they also have

12:36

a fight scene with each other.

12:38

Wild. Like like like when they're

12:40

like on the cliff and and

12:42

and Robert's like hide up and

12:44

Derek's like torturing him. So mind

12:46

blowing. I had to do a

12:49

Google search for Peter Jackson in

12:51

the 80s images. And I found

12:53

a photo of him with kind

12:55

of a five o'clock or maybe

12:57

like an eight o'clock shadow. Okay,

12:59

sure. And a little bit shorter

13:01

hair. And it kind of brought

13:04

these two characters together visually for

13:06

me. It was the missing link

13:08

that I'm like, oh, now I

13:10

see the resemblance. Now I know

13:12

that that is definitely Peter Jackson

13:14

as Derek. It's just so because

13:16

it's just so different because Robert

13:19

is so dark-haired. And Derek looks

13:21

like he'd be a ginger. Yeah.

13:23

Well, there you go. Fun notes

13:25

about Peter Jackson doing great stuff.

13:27

I'm glad we put those notes

13:29

together. Yes. All right. Okay, this

13:31

is a New Zealand film, of

13:34

course, Peter Jackson. Yeah, at least

13:36

one sheep will be harmed in

13:38

the making of this film. But

13:40

not really. I love the opening

13:42

shot is just a photo of

13:44

Queen Elizabeth. Oh my God, I

13:46

love it. There's like three moments

13:49

of like, kind of poking fun

13:51

at the sort of the United

13:53

Kingdom Commonwealth aspect. And it's like,

13:55

Queen Elizabeth. Prince Charles Princess Diana

13:57

watch yes that one of them

13:59

has for their wedding the commemorative

14:01

watch I was like oh my

14:04

god I almost got on like

14:06

uh fucking eBay and was like

14:08

do these still exist can I

14:10

have one yeah like from way

14:12

before they were divorced yeah and

14:14

then of course the Beatles cut

14:16

out in the front window of

14:19

the car God I love it

14:21

it's really funny and and the

14:23

and the watch the die in

14:25

Charles watch is so funny because

14:27

it's at a moment where they're

14:29

like sinking up their watches like

14:31

it's more like spy action movies

14:34

like piece of shit like $5

14:36

watch So so very funny so

14:38

we hear this emergency call we

14:40

hear about alien invaders coming into

14:42

the New Zealand town of Cairo

14:44

and then a single finger uh-huh

14:46

I I was already I was

14:49

like what am I what am

14:51

I in for if there's like

14:53

a single tiny finger presses a

14:55

button and you see that it's

14:57

a finger attached to the end

14:59

of like a stick Yeah. That's

15:01

pressing this button. And then later,

15:03

the guy smokes a cigarette because

15:06

he's band-aided a cigarette to the

15:08

finger. To the finger, and he

15:10

lights the cigarette using a candle

15:12

shaped like a hand where the

15:14

tip of the middle finger is

15:16

the wick. Yeah. What? We never

15:18

to learn who this is or

15:21

anything. No. It's, it's very like

15:23

Dr. Klaw from Inspector Gadget or

15:25

Mr. Klaw, I forget whatever his

15:27

name, but I just, and I

15:29

love that like he has like,

15:31

you know, he's like, I'm sending

15:33

in the boys, who we will

15:36

later meet the boys, I suppose.

15:38

But like on his speed dial,

15:40

he's got like, the queen, mum.

15:42

The boys. It's so funny, or

15:44

it's like Charlie and Charlie's Angels,

15:46

like, oftentimes just a voice into

15:48

a microphone. But I'm presumably this

15:51

is the leader of the, oh

15:53

I can't remember what the an

15:55

acronym is, but it's like the,

15:57

the like, alien, when aliens land.

15:59

on planet Earth and or on

16:01

the moon as we're told these

16:04

are the four paramilitary dudes we

16:06

send in from New Zealand. So

16:08

it is Barry who's kind of

16:10

the muscle. Okay. Derek who's kind

16:12

of the more like wispy nerdy

16:15

scientist. He's the techie guy. Derek

16:17

and Derek's never run. Yeah. And

16:19

Derek's never run. Derek's never run.

16:21

Ozzy, who are the two muscle

16:24

car guys. Yeah. They're more of

16:26

like the, I guess Barry's, Barry

16:28

is the brains, maybe the kind

16:30

of the de facto leader, he

16:32

doesn't do a whole lot, but,

16:35

and then these two guys, Frank

16:37

and Ozzy in the muscle car,

16:39

they're more of the doers, the

16:41

guys with the guns sort of

16:43

thing. But we're in this small

16:46

town and we see Barry, he's

16:48

being followed by a... Man in

16:50

jeans and a blue button down.

16:52

Oh my god. I love it

16:55

the Canadian tuxedo as the as

16:57

the default alien setting Mm-hmm and

16:59

he this alien is following him

17:01

who just looks like a normal

17:03

human at this point He's carrying

17:06

an axe kind of zombie walking

17:08

at him. Yeah, yeah, and Barry

17:10

is like you just stop right

17:12

there Don't come any further. No

17:14

don't no It's like I talked

17:17

to my cat No, no, do

17:19

not like. No, this is your

17:21

last warning. I do not like

17:23

that, no. And he's got Derek

17:26

on the radio, Derek's telling him,

17:28

like, don't, you know, I guess

17:30

we should be careful because he

17:32

could be, he could be a

17:34

normal human from the Ministry of

17:37

Works. And Barry says, no, he's

17:39

moving too fast. There's all these

17:41

digs that come in agencies. I

17:43

love this kind of setup that

17:45

like Derek is watching from up

17:48

on far we don't know we

17:50

don't see Derek yet we just

17:52

hear him as like a disembodied

17:54

voice on the the CB radio

17:56

but like Derek no everything that

17:59

Barry is doing, which is kind

18:01

of like a weird but awesome

18:03

setup. You know, because like Barry

18:05

is reacting, or excuse me, Derek

18:08

is reacting to Barry's like slightest

18:10

movements. So like great reveal when

18:12

we finally do get to Derek

18:14

and see his whole like telecom

18:16

setup. Yes, yes. Anyways, this guy

18:19

gets all the way out to

18:21

you. Slow chases Barry all the

18:23

way to the edge of the

18:25

water, this rocky shore, and Barry

18:27

blows his head off. Literally. The

18:30

number of times drinking game, dangerous

18:32

drinking game, is every time you

18:34

see a shot of a person

18:36

and having blood splatter across their

18:39

face. Oh yeah. Yeah. And it

18:41

is deep, bright, shiny red. Yeah.

18:43

Every time. Tembro paint. Uh-huh. Derek

18:45

radios him and he's like, well,

18:47

I hope I'm not the poor

18:50

bastard, he's got to clean that

18:52

up. I guess Barry, go ahead

18:54

and start putting his remains into

18:56

a trash bag or something. Barry's

18:58

like, I'm not touching it, you're

19:01

the scientist, you do it. They're

19:03

like, well, we need, we need,

19:05

yeah, we should take a sample

19:07

of his brains and put it

19:09

in his bag. It's like, I'm

19:12

not doing that. But they do

19:14

have one live specimen that they've

19:16

tied up on this cliff's edge.

19:18

Yep. And this is Robert, the

19:21

alien. Oh my God, I love

19:23

it. We don't really see Robert

19:25

at first. We just sort of

19:27

see a rope that leads down

19:29

a steep cliff and they kind

19:32

of motion they're like, oh yeah,

19:34

we get that one over there.

19:36

But it's a bit of a

19:38

bit of a tease before we

19:40

actually get to Robert. So Barry

19:43

is still out looking through the

19:45

town, but he... He gets grabbed

19:47

and attacked in some like little

19:49

wood shed out building and we

19:52

see him get then chased by

19:54

a group of like five men

19:56

all dressed identically blue shirt and

19:58

jeans and he it is just

20:00

like Benny Hill style comedy the

20:03

way in which he runs fake

20:05

hides causes of distraction doubles back

20:07

yeah hides in a shed sees

20:09

that sees one of the aliens

20:11

come across and he gets ready

20:14

with like a pickaxe or a

20:16

pitch fork and he goes to

20:18

like open the door and then

20:20

his Hoodie his hood on his

20:22

coat catches on a coat rack

20:25

so the door just like opens

20:27

the alien sees him looks confused

20:29

and then the door closes again

20:31

Such a good fucking gag Meanwhile,

20:34

Derek has already radioed for Frank

20:36

and Ozzy reading their soldier of

20:38

Fortune magazine. Yeah, it's like Thanks

20:40

drizies. Yep, and it's Ozzy's playing

20:42

basically kind of this like 80s

20:45

heavy metal. Yeah, like headbanger music,

20:47

but Frank says Frank tells him

20:49

this is elevator music for headbangers.

20:51

Oh, there you go. There you

20:53

go. Yes. Oh my God. I

20:56

love it. I mean, this is

20:58

very like it feel like with

21:00

the little like I can't remember

21:02

which one kind of always has

21:05

a little the mini cigar. Yeah.

21:07

It's very a team. Totally the

21:09

vibes. They're going to come into,

21:11

they're going to come into town,

21:13

into Cairo, and, but they're telling

21:16

Derek, like, okay, listen, you already

21:18

have the captain. It's trying not

21:20

to kill any more of these.

21:22

We've got to take live ones

21:24

in for research or what have

21:27

you. Just supposed to study, we're

21:29

not supposed to like, you know.

21:31

We're not a, they do say

21:33

that while they have guns, they're

21:35

like, we're like, we are. science

21:38

unit. Uh-huh, sure. But they have

21:40

a bazuka, we find out later.

21:42

Like, the fucking, the, the, all

21:44

black, Ninja outfits, the, okay, a

21:47

couple of fun facts. Uh-huh. All

21:49

the guns, obviously fake. But they're

21:51

literally just like fabricated from junk

21:53

that Peter Jackson found. Oh wow.

21:55

So like that none of them

21:58

are even like began as real

22:00

guns. Like he literally took a

22:02

lead pipe and painted it black

22:04

and then put like some stuff

22:06

on it to make it look

22:09

like like a sawed off shotgun

22:11

or whatever. Or the oozies are

22:13

just like little little canister boxes.

22:15

That's so good. The other thing

22:18

is that what is it, what

22:20

is the name of the town.

22:22

is actually Mallory for food town.

22:24

Oh great! Or depending on how

22:26

it's translated fast food. Perfect name.

22:29

That's so good. Derek then decides

22:31

now's a good time to go

22:33

torture Robert. Just to warm him

22:35

up. Yeah. Just to prime him

22:37

so when the boys get there

22:40

he's already like... Spill in his

22:42

secrets. Yeah, we need these boys

22:44

to talk. We need to hear

22:46

what they're what they're doing. So

22:49

the way he chooses to do

22:51

this is to take this along

22:53

what looks like a bayonet style

22:55

night like straight up a bayonet.

22:57

Yeah, and Robert is tied by

23:00

his feet to this rope hanging

23:02

up almost upside down off the

23:04

edge of this cliff. And he

23:06

Derek just basically takes a hammer

23:08

to drive the tip of the

23:11

tip into the Soul of his

23:13

foot yikes, I forget what movie

23:15

we were talking about it was

23:17

it in a previous thing where

23:19

the the director was talking about

23:22

maybe it was Cronenberg maybe it

23:24

was scanners. Oh, I remember what

23:26

it was there's a moment where

23:28

somebody gets injected early in the

23:31

movie with the needle But they

23:33

like it like in the meat

23:35

of his paw. Oh, yeah, yeah,

23:37

yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's so

23:39

visceral like it's one thing to

23:42

see a torture scene where they're

23:44

just kind of like choking them

23:46

or hitting them or punching them,

23:48

but having a sharp point go

23:50

into the bottom of your foot,

23:53

you can feel it. And he's

23:55

wearing tennis shoes. So it's not

23:57

like we're watching. it go into

23:59

flesh, it's more than it's like,

24:02

yeah, it is really, really specific

24:04

into that like area. You can

24:06

feel the tenderness of that area,

24:08

so you have like a physical

24:10

reaction. Derek gets a square to

24:13

blood in his eye. Yep. So

24:15

you got a drink. I also

24:17

like, I also love the sort

24:19

of bag of holding. that Derek

24:21

has, like he pulls an oozy

24:24

out of it, he pulls a

24:26

bayonet out, like the physically impossible

24:28

bag, you know, like the, you

24:30

know, I love it, that has

24:32

just sort of everything in it,

24:35

like the Mary Poppins carpet bag.

24:37

Yep, but he only has three

24:39

clips for his submachine gun. Yep.

24:41

While he's torturing Robert, Robert eventually

24:44

screams like a big loud howl.

24:46

It's very, it's very invasion of

24:48

the body snatchers. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

24:50

yeah, like almost a squeal, a

24:52

gwy squeal sort of sound. This

24:55

causes the other aliens who are

24:57

attacking Barry to be like, oh,

24:59

let's go find where that is.

25:01

We hear the call, and one

25:03

of them grabs a giant hammer,

25:06

and one of them grabs a

25:08

big hammer, and one of them

25:10

grabs a normal-sized hammer, and then

25:12

one of them is left with

25:15

a little tiny hammer. Like a

25:17

little craft hammer, it's like the...

25:19

It's like the tiny, like, little

25:21

rock hammer that Andy Defraying had

25:23

in Shawshank Redemption, like, just enough

25:26

to carve into the wall. Also...

25:28

The aliens when they were trying

25:30

to get into that shed to

25:32

get Barry. It was four of

25:34

them holding one of them up

25:37

and using him as a battering

25:39

ground onto the door. Oh my

25:41

god, I love it! And he

25:43

looks delighted to do so. Yeah.

25:45

So he radios Barry, radios, Derek,

25:48

get out of there fast. You

25:50

got five coming your way. Derek's

25:52

like, I can't do that, I'm

25:54

a Derek, Derek's don't run. I

25:57

mean, that's how you make a

25:59

cult movie line. Yes. Like. What

26:01

does that mean? I don't fucking

26:03

know. Who does it? It's great.

26:05

I mean, like, honestly, Derek has

26:08

the two most quotable lines, which

26:10

is I'm a Derek, Derek, to

26:12

never run, and I'm born again.

26:14

Yep. I'm born again is so

26:16

good. Like, those are just, that's

26:19

it. That's how you do it. So

26:21

this is such a maddening sequence

26:23

here. It's so funny, but it's

26:25

so maddening. So Derek reaches into

26:27

his bag of holding, pulls out

26:29

a submachine gun, immediately just

26:31

starts firing at nothing into

26:33

the woods. Into the woods. Yeah.

26:36

Runs out of bullets. So he has

26:38

to get another clip out. The number

26:40

of times they just take an empty

26:42

clip and toss it. I'm like, no,

26:44

no, no, no, save the empty

26:46

clip. Because you can use, one

26:48

thing to know about an empty

26:50

clip is, it's dispenser. Yeah, I

26:52

mean honestly Lord Crumb does that

26:54

at one point. Uh-huh. Yeah, we

26:56

watch him reload. Clever idea.

26:59

Yeah, reloading a gun. What?

27:01

He manages to shoot one.

27:03

A couple a couple a

27:05

few times. Yes. But he

27:07

keeps getting closer and closer

27:10

until this alien dies on

27:12

top of Derek. Oozie threw

27:14

his body. Uh-huh. He's being being

27:16

bled upon and sort of manipulating

27:19

the dead guy's body to shoot

27:21

the other aliens that are coming

27:23

up on him through the first

27:26

guy. So he gets two more,

27:28

so that's three out of five

27:30

down, and then the last two

27:33

who have their sledgehammers are coming

27:35

out. Hammer fight. This is a really

27:37

well choreographed fight sequence,

27:39

not just for the... stage

27:41

combat stuff but also the editing of

27:43

it. Yeah. Because there's a lot of

27:46

moments where the guys coming with the

27:48

sledgehammer and Derek is trying to reach

27:50

his bags. He's trapped kind of on the

27:52

edge of the cliff where Robert is and

27:54

he's trying to reach down and reach into

27:56

the bag to get one more clip from

27:58

the gun. And every time he... away it's

28:00

that equivalent of watching somebody in

28:02

a movie drive a car but

28:05

the cameras from their side and

28:07

they're looking at the camera like

28:09

they're talking to a passenger and

28:11

you're always like watch the road

28:14

yeah yeah yeah and that's what

28:16

this is I'm like don't turn

28:18

your back to these guys but

28:20

every hammer swing like misses and

28:23

then clangs the other hammer or

28:25

just it's great and then it

28:27

eventually ends up with one of

28:29

them Swinging a hammer back and

28:32

clocking it into the other skull.

28:34

That's right. So it's embedded in

28:36

the other one's skull. Uh-huh. Derek

28:38

finally gets the clip back in

28:41

the oozy. By the way, Robert

28:43

is gone. Where'd Robert go? Where'd

28:45

Robert go. But Derek gets the

28:47

clip in the oozy shoots the

28:50

arm off of the hand holding

28:52

the hammer. So you now have

28:54

an alien with a hammer its

28:56

head being held by an arm

28:59

and then the other alien I

29:01

think just sort of like tumbles

29:03

away. And it's a, also when

29:05

he's trying to load this clip

29:08

he only has one hand free

29:10

because the other hand is hanging

29:12

on to this road. The road,

29:14

yeah. And so he has to

29:17

slide the clip barely in and

29:19

then hammer it in with his

29:21

forehead. It's so good. So the

29:23

last two are dead, but Robert

29:26

is gone. because he took the

29:28

bayonet that was stuck in his

29:30

shoe. And then Robert shows up,

29:32

attacks Derek, brief fight, kicks Derek

29:35

over the cliff and we watch

29:37

him splat below. Oh my god,

29:39

this dummy that goes over the

29:41

edge of this cliff Jeffrey. It's

29:44

like, and this is what I

29:46

love, is that it's, there is

29:48

like a shot of floppy dummy.

29:50

Okay, cool. We've all seen a

29:53

floppy dummy. We know how that

29:55

goes. But I kind of love

29:57

the fact that the the predominant

29:59

dummy shot going over the edge

30:02

of a cliff. like in a

30:04

crouched roll kind of like a

30:06

like a rar like a bear.

30:08

So it tumbles in a circle

30:11

and it's so satisfying watching that

30:13

thing like like as opposed to

30:15

like go you know like ass

30:17

over tea kettle floppy wise it

30:20

like literally barrel rolls over this

30:22

cliff the shoe goes flying it's

30:24

so fucking good and then lands

30:26

into a like a a nest

30:29

of seagulls. Basically, yeah, it's like

30:31

a rock outcropping. He lands in,

30:33

you don't see the fullness of

30:35

his body, but like blood flies

30:38

up. Yeah. So you're like, well,

30:40

he's dead, presumably, and all the

30:42

seagulls come swarming around him. Okay,

30:44

so Frank and Ozzy are now

30:47

there, they've put up, do not

30:49

enter nuclear contamination signs to keep

30:51

people out. And Ozzy's like what?

30:54

We don't have nuclear power plants

30:56

like those are the United States.

30:59

He's like well, you know It

31:01

could be fallout from one of

31:03

those. Yeah, who knows? I Also

31:05

like Ozzy saying oh poor Derek

31:07

is dead who's gonna take care

31:10

of his aviary now birds were

31:12

the only thing he could relate

31:14

to and then the shot of

31:16

birds like picking at his body

31:18

my god. It's so good now

31:21

we're gonna meet Giles Giles Giles

31:23

Giles I would say The tax

31:25

collector He's like a tax collector

31:27

day. Yeah, he's is yeah tax

31:29

collector like charity collector or something

31:32

I don't know how it works

31:34

in New Zealand, but it's from

31:36

a group called beneficial relief and

31:38

emergency aid division Bread bread so

31:40

he's arrived in Cairo everybody has

31:43

you know they had received envelopes

31:45

in the mail you're supposed to

31:47

put your contribution in that leave

31:49

it on your door or hand

31:51

it to him He runs into

31:54

Robert eating out the top of

31:56

somebody's head with a spoon. Yeah.

31:58

Like a head slice. horizontally in

32:00

half like like Sunday style like

32:02

you know banana split Sunday. Giles

32:05

gets to his car his little

32:07

VW bug. This chase it's like

32:09

it's the car won't start. He

32:11

can't find his key. Roberts upon

32:13

him with the bayonet and so

32:15

he like is trying to roll

32:18

up the window, but the window

32:20

doesn't roll very quickly because it's

32:22

like a BMW bug and everything

32:24

is kind of shit in this

32:26

car. But he does finally manage

32:29

to get the, but like he's

32:31

kind of trapped Robert's hand inside

32:33

the car. He drops the bayonet,

32:35

and so he finally gets the

32:37

car to start, starts driving, but

32:40

it's going really slowly. Yeah, Robert's

32:42

easily keeping up with this car.

32:44

Yes. And then he realizes the

32:46

parking break is engaged. Now, I

32:48

thought we were going to get

32:51

a missing hand, but we don't.

32:53

Robert just sort of... Robert just

32:55

sort of pulls his... I was

32:57

waiting for the like, the window

32:59

to slice off his hand. No,

33:02

we just get Robert just sort

33:04

of pulls his hand and then

33:06

runs away. Giles makes a mistake

33:08

of going to just another house

33:10

in town to ask for help,

33:13

thinking he's just run into a

33:15

madman, but he gets to this

33:17

other house and we've got... it's

33:19

a very like... Texas chainsaw massacre

33:21

to call out because the man

33:24

that answers the door is a

33:26

beefy man wearing a chef's hat.

33:28

He's the the chef is the

33:30

only one not in the Canadian

33:32

New Zealand tuxedo as we'll call

33:35

it because he's the chef and

33:37

the chef has a mallet and

33:39

conks him on the head. Perfect.

33:41

And Giles is going to wake

33:43

up in a like an industrial

33:45

tub like oil drum. with an

33:48

apple taped inside his mouth. Uh-huh.

33:50

Classic. And it's just filled with

33:52

broth and chopped vegetables. Like yeah,

33:54

like lemons and shit like that.

33:56

Uh-huh. So I've never eaten human

33:59

before. You know, in marinating. A

34:01

meat. It seems like I guess

34:03

you can definitely, you definitely can

34:05

marinate meats with the skin still

34:07

on. Like I've marinated duck breast

34:10

before. But you don't want to

34:12

do it while it's still alive.

34:14

Right, I think you want to

34:16

kill and clean, you want to

34:18

drain it. Yes. Yeah, that's my

34:21

guess. I don't know how tough

34:23

the human skin is in terms

34:25

of as a culinary expression. Yeah.

34:27

But it feels like you definitely

34:29

want to go ahead and kill

34:32

and clean. You want to get

34:34

the hair off of it. Yeah,

34:36

absolutely. Kind of like scrape off

34:38

the fatty bits, you know. All

34:40

of the gizzards and other organs

34:43

and bit parts, I feel like.

34:45

It's like a chicken. To make

34:47

sausage. I mean, it's just, it's

34:49

like, how would you prepare a

34:51

pig is really, you know, totally,

34:54

so we got to this movie,

34:56

we have rolling, let's eat. And

34:58

I think. We did a good

35:00

job with that. Bingo. One of

35:02

the other movies that I had

35:05

immediately thought of was the cook,

35:07

the thief, his wife, and her

35:09

lover. Of course. Which they definitely

35:11

show you how human might be

35:13

prepared. Amazing. I need to see

35:15

this movie. And it looks delicious

35:18

glazed is all I'm going to

35:20

say. The aliens then tell Giles.

35:22

We are planning to have you

35:24

for lunch tomorrow. Yep. You're the

35:26

exotic new taste sensation humans are.

35:29

Yes. And then Robert is doing

35:31

like the threatening like knife across

35:33

his throat gesture. Well it's like

35:35

the chef does it like tomorrow

35:37

you die. And then Robert because

35:40

Robert's kind of like a dopey

35:42

hingement. He's like, but he actually

35:44

slits his throat open. It splatters

35:46

blood across Giles's face. Oh my

35:48

God, drink. So Barry is aware

35:51

that. Giles he can see from

35:53

binoculars the Giles has been captured.

35:55

He's like, oh God, fucking guys,

35:57

we got trouble. We're

36:00

gonna cut back to Derek, who

36:02

is alive, Cecil. Shut up this.

36:04

I, I, okay, one, I was

36:06

actually angry that they killed the

36:08

best character when, when, when, the

36:10

dramatic, because, you know, what was

36:12

it, we're watching some movie, oh,

36:15

we're watching Night of the Comet

36:17

for our Patreon, and there's a,

36:19

there's sort of a fakeout death.

36:21

And I was like, what an

36:23

unceremonious way to kill this awesome

36:25

main character, but it was a

36:27

fakeout death. Yeah. Derek's tumbled on

36:29

the hill. I mean, it felt

36:31

like I didn't like it, but

36:33

it felt satisfying. Yeah. But then

36:36

to bring this character back in

36:38

this manner, even more satisfying. Genius.

36:40

Genius, I would say. Yeah. I

36:42

think this is the only way

36:44

after showing the violence of his

36:46

death that he was, you know,

36:48

if you're gonna write or direct

36:50

a film where a character has

36:52

to have a false death. Yeah.

36:54

you want to make it as

36:57

convincing as you really want the

36:59

audience to feel like yeah that's

37:01

the way you're supposed to kill

37:03

a character I know for a

37:05

fact now they are dead yeah

37:07

and when you watch a character

37:09

especially like three quarters of the

37:11

way into the movie if you

37:13

have a pretty important character that

37:15

dies off screen you're like no

37:17

they're coming back yeah absolutely But

37:20

here's one word I was I'm

37:22

like this dude is dead. I

37:24

was like oh no they killed

37:26

they killed the best or at

37:28

least the wackiest one of the

37:30

wackier characters and Because this movie

37:32

is so absurd you absolutely can

37:34

bring him back this way wherein

37:36

he's fucked up He wakes up.

37:38

Uh-huh, and he's like kind of

37:41

Google-eyed Which is also how the

37:43

aliens act and I was like

37:45

oh Maybe he got all that

37:47

alien blood on him. Maybe he's

37:49

kind of alien like it's gonna

37:51

be like he's infected thing. No,

37:53

no, no. He's just missing part

37:55

of his brain Jeffrey and he

37:57

finds it Underneath a seagull a

37:59

crushed mechanical seagull and he's like

38:02

oh no a little piece of

38:04

my brain and his head this

38:06

scalp has like a little flap

38:08

so he just takes it just

38:10

like shoves it in uh-huh and

38:12

then sort of tucks the scalp

38:14

up and continues on it's merry-away

38:16

goes back into his car to

38:18

find a top hat that he

38:20

has in his van looking thing.

38:23

I don't know what this vehicle

38:25

is. I looked at the name

38:27

of this car. It's a very

38:29

specific name. And apparently, Peter Jackson

38:31

was, Peter Jackson owned this car.

38:33

Okay. This, this actual double-decker, whatever

38:35

this car is, and apparently he

38:37

was obsessed with them and used

38:39

them in brain dead, dead, dead,

38:41

alive as well. Yeah, he keeps

38:44

a top hat in his car,

38:46

so he uses the top hat

38:48

to kind of like to like,

38:50

to like to, just to keep

38:52

it closed basically closed basically. Yeah,

38:54

but then immediately passes, passes out.

38:56

Yes. And later what he's going

38:58

to do is take his belt

39:00

off and wear it like a

39:02

headband so that will keep it

39:04

tightly in. Smart. Frank and Barry

39:07

and Ozzy are all checking out

39:09

this house where Giles is and

39:11

having this argument Frank's like we

39:13

should call in get reinforcements and

39:15

Barry's like I don't know by

39:17

the time we do all the

39:19

paperwork the collector could be dead

39:21

again like dig at being in

39:23

the government. Yeah. We had already

39:25

had a conversation minutes earlier in

39:28

this movie about how... We're not

39:30

a paramilitary operation. Don't engage. No

39:32

violence. Observe and report. But then

39:34

they go and put on balaklavas.

39:36

Uh-huh. And flack jackets. Yep. Full

39:38

black. Ninja gear. Yep. Special ops.

39:40

They've got piles of guns. I

39:42

also love the like this. And

39:44

again, this is like, how do

39:46

you have like, like, how do

39:49

you. Make the most of a

39:51

little. You can have a character

39:53

pull a gun out of a

39:55

trunk and then pull another gun

39:57

out of a trunk. Or... you

39:59

have one character pull a gun

40:01

out of a trunk toss it

40:03

to another character who stacks it

40:05

up and then so that sort

40:07

of like toss just sort of

40:10

like reiterates it makes it

40:12

feel like even more uh-huh as opposed

40:14

to just I have three guns

40:16

yeah so you're kind of seeing a

40:18

like it's almost like a plate

40:20

spinning sort of juggling act that's

40:23

so much more impressive yes and

40:25

creative You know, I mentioned trauma

40:27

at the beginning because seeing a

40:29

movie like Toxic Adventure or what

40:31

have you is great. It's such

40:33

a great cult classic, super gross

40:35

and schlocky and funny. But in

40:38

a lot of ways a totally different

40:40

movie, but those those types of B movie

40:42

schlocky films are so much fun to watch,

40:44

but you can see in this movie.

40:46

Why this man? Is Sir Peter

40:48

Jackson? Went on to direct some

40:51

very expensive films. Fun fact, this

40:53

movie took four years to make.

40:55

Wow. And they could only shoot

40:57

it on the weekends. We watched

40:59

another one of these that took

41:01

like, the filmmaker was like a

41:03

labor of love and I can't

41:05

remember which one, but the filmmakers

41:08

could like only make it when

41:10

they're on their off hours from

41:12

their day job. This was another

41:14

one of those. To the point

41:16

where... One of the characters was

41:18

married, no, got cast in

41:20

the movie, got married to a

41:22

conservative Christian lady who

41:24

did not like all

41:26

the violence, dropped out of

41:28

the movie, divorced the lady,

41:31

and got back in the movie.

41:33

Wow! In the span of time it

41:35

took to make this fucking movie.

41:37

And Peter Jackson used all

41:40

of his own money for most

41:42

of this. up until like the

41:44

very end when I think he got

41:46

like a cash, you know, like he'd done

41:48

so much. He got like kind of

41:50

a cash injection from, you know, some

41:53

New Zealand film board, something or

41:55

other. Of course, yeah. But four

41:57

years working only, only on the

41:59

weekends. I love it. Again, like

42:01

it's the spirit of independent art

42:04

making, independent cinema especially is so

42:06

movies are expensive and time consuming.

42:08

Yeah. Even if you have all

42:10

of the money in the world

42:12

from whatever Sony pictures or something.

42:15

Yeah. But it's very impressive the

42:17

stuff that they did here and

42:19

it's really fun and really good.

42:21

It's in the choreography on screen

42:23

and the... Camera choreography and the

42:25

editing I would say it is

42:28

kind of the difference between like

42:30

this and your average You know

42:32

fun bee movie. It's just like

42:34

you said with the with the

42:36

guns and the way they flip

42:39

it It it has a flare

42:41

and has a style when doing

42:43

a mundane task on screen. It's

42:45

not about just the information that

42:47

we need to see that they

42:50

have guns that's information that's important

42:52

to the film sure but it's

42:54

not interesting it just needs to

42:56

be conveyed but he does it

42:58

in such a way that it's

43:01

fucking fun to watch yeah yeah

43:03

those 10 seconds are really fun

43:05

they also have checkoffs crate oh

43:07

my god they're like no no

43:09

no we don't need that yeah

43:12

what's in the crate And then

43:14

when they're putting on the ski

43:16

mask, they're like, okay, well, you

43:18

know, we got to wear these

43:20

when we're undercover, just in case

43:23

we kill a lot of innocent

43:25

people, that's protocol. I can't be

43:27

identified. I'm like, oh my God.

43:29

Love it! Shadowy government agency. Okay,

43:31

so sneaking into this house that

43:33

night, we see our evil leader,

43:36

Lord Crum. Lord Crum. Talking to

43:38

all of his minions. Such a

43:40

great Lord Crumb, this guy, because

43:42

he is the epitome of, like

43:44

he just looks evil. He's, well

43:47

he looks like a British bureaucrat.

43:49

He does, totally, that's what it

43:51

is. I just did a rewatch

43:53

of the Crown, because it's, I

43:55

don't know, it's wintertime, and I'm

43:58

like, oh Jesus, entertaining me, was...

44:00

something I need to kill the

44:02

hours of cold and it's very

44:04

British. It's very like Lord so

44:06

and so. But I love the

44:09

teaser that he's got like a

44:11

little claw hand and you see

44:13

his shadow kind of like turn

44:15

into a human so we're gonna

44:17

tease out what they look like

44:20

underneath their human disguise. Yes. So

44:22

I love his speech to his

44:24

crew in very low light. It

44:26

makes it all the more funny.

44:28

Yeah, yeah, up light. It's all

44:31

uplit. Yeah. So like, you know,

44:33

everything is like super shadowy. He

44:35

says, I'm, listen, I'm sure you'll

44:37

be excited to leave this shitty

44:39

planet. Yeah. And also, please remain

44:41

in human form no matter how

44:44

ugly you think you look and

44:46

feel right now. We got to

44:48

take no chances. We just got

44:50

to get in and get out.

44:52

We've already had six of hours

44:55

murdered by some real ars holes.

44:57

Yeah. The scientists

44:59

break into this house and they're

45:01

in this like kitchen not kitchen,

45:04

but like storage room area might

45:06

be the kitchen But the floor

45:08

is covered in like blood and

45:10

viscera and one of them is

45:13

like oh my gosh somebody could

45:15

really get hurt here Grabbed some

45:17

mop and starts mopping up the

45:20

blood on the floor. So that

45:22

way when an alien comes in

45:24

with a glass bowl we now

45:26

have sort of a this is

45:29

one of my favorite like Gag

45:31

fights, which is the silent fight.

45:33

You see this in action movies,

45:36

mostly in comedies, but sometimes played

45:38

for real, like in a bored

45:40

identity kind of way of the

45:42

like, don't make noise to alert

45:45

the others, but inflict as much

45:47

pain as possible, fight. Brilliant. Also,

45:49

we notice in the background there

45:51

are a bunch of cardboard boxes,

45:54

which I didn't think much of

45:56

for a second, but so one

45:58

of the aliens comes in with

46:01

this big, you know, like 14

46:03

inch clear bowl into the kitchen.

46:05

And then they have the silent

46:07

fight, they manage to... to tear

46:10

off his head and his spine.

46:12

With the spine. And they're doing

46:14

it all without trying to make

46:17

too much noise. They then like,

46:19

punt that head, like, punt it.

46:21

Soccer kick it out the window.

46:23

Out the window, out the open

46:26

window. And he's like, there's that

46:28

old magic again. And Barry's like,

46:30

Jesus fucking Christ, they just clean

46:33

these floors. We also learn from

46:35

Lord Crumb that this is just

46:37

a corporate entity. This is a

46:39

building These people all work in

46:42

inventory basically so they've gone to

46:44

earth to hunt To gather humans

46:46

to take back They are all

46:49

in cardboard boxes the remains of

46:51

the people and when we see

46:53

the cardboard boxes again, this is

46:55

when I first notice. They are

46:58

just dripping with blood. And I

47:00

love this, like, you know, you'd

47:02

be surprised how many human remains

47:05

can fit inside a cardboard box.

47:07

This is my worst delivery of

47:09

blue apron ever. Oh my God,

47:11

that's exactly what it is. Blue

47:14

apron, red apron. So they are

47:16

the name for meat eaters only?

47:18

Uh-huh. The name that gags me,

47:21

it's Crumbs Country Delight. A crunchy

47:23

delights. Crunchy. Oh, that makes more

47:25

sense. Okay, I was like country.

47:27

Uh-huh. What country? Crom's crunchy delights.

47:30

Thank you very much for that

47:32

correction. I did have a couple

47:34

of, I did have a couple

47:37

of moments with the accent. Like,

47:39

I swear to God Barry's name

47:41

was Mary through the first like

47:43

10 minutes of the film. I

47:46

was like, is he con and

47:48

Mary? Or is it Barry? just

47:50

as an accent. Yes. So, crumbs,

47:53

crunchy delights, the homo sapient taste

47:55

will be all the rage. It's

47:57

all... Gotta be awesome. And I

47:59

love how they're part of like

48:02

an intergalactic fast food syndicate. Yes.

48:04

So they're kind of like, it's

48:06

like they've gone out to like

48:09

another, another planet. They're like, oh

48:11

my gosh, these humans are delicious.

48:13

We've had a couple. We can't

48:15

get enough of them. We're gonna,

48:18

they're like the, they're like the,

48:20

the guenith paltrow of the universe.

48:22

That's like, like, this is gonna

48:25

be the next big thing. Yeah,

48:27

talking about homo sapient meat is

48:29

their big thing. And they're naming

48:31

off the things that they're gonna

48:34

make out of the homo sapiens.

48:36

And one of the things, the

48:38

only one I wrote down was

48:40

chewy homo nuggets. Yes. Can we

48:43

add that to the t-shirt list,

48:45

Jeffrey? I mean, honestly, I wouldn't

48:47

be surprised if Chick Felay already

48:50

put this on their menu. Chewy,

48:52

no homo nuggets. So

48:55

while we're hearing this and

48:57

this so it's not just

48:59

an evil speech we're hearing

49:01

yes because that's that's so

49:03

easy we're getting the double

49:05

impact because one of the

49:07

guys I think Aussie has

49:09

put on the blue shirt

49:11

it's Frank yes Frank sorry

49:13

yes has put on the

49:15

blue shirt of the now

49:17

beheaded alien carried the bowl

49:19

out so we can get

49:21

some Intel and he's just

49:23

sort of being like pushed

49:25

around a little bit. Like

49:27

he's just like trying to

49:29

pretend to be normal. The

49:31

leader takes the bowl, summons

49:33

Robert, who gleefully, like with

49:35

great joy, projectile vomit, pistachio

49:37

green pudding with orange chunks

49:39

into the bowl. And apparently

49:41

this was actually a... like

49:43

a plaster rubber, like a

49:45

rubber, plaster cast rubber, like

49:47

almost hand puppet of... Peter

49:49

Jackson's head okay that they

49:51

just like took a hose

49:53

and stuck through its mouth

49:55

and just like just pumped

49:57

Did did you find out

49:59

what they made this putting

50:01

out or this vomit out

50:03

of I think they said

50:05

it was what is either

50:07

putting or paint no I

50:09

think it was putting with

50:11

food coloring with food color

50:13

yeah because they definitely are

50:15

getting it in their mouths.

50:17

Oh yeah and they pass

50:19

around the bowl Oh, and

50:21

they all have to take

50:23

a big slur. Oh, it's

50:25

like, and of course, the,

50:27

you know, Lord Crumb gets

50:29

the first taste. Yes. And

50:31

he's like, oh, I got

50:33

a chunk. Aren't I lucky?

50:35

Oh my. The detail in

50:37

this scene that's even better

50:39

is the way Frank is

50:41

trying to like because he

50:43

was it's trying to like

50:45

move down the line like

50:47

no way you go ahead

50:49

you go ahead after you

50:51

after you it's so duck

50:53

soup it's so duck soup

50:55

at the very end they

50:57

handed to Frank and they're

50:59

all staring at him so

51:01

he has to drink it

51:03

and he looks so disgusted

51:05

and then kind of is

51:07

like wait actually this isn't

51:09

bad and goes for a

51:11

second drink And all

51:14

the while, Oz is like

51:16

watching from a crack in

51:18

the door, dying laughing. Okay,

51:20

so then they free Giles

51:22

that night. Yes. But now they've

51:24

got to get him out

51:26

of this house. So everyone is

51:29

presumably asleep, but there are guards

51:31

prowling the ground. And upstairs

51:33

guys who are playing paddy

51:35

cake. Yes. Like you do?

51:37

Oh. I would say this

51:39

is the... This is the

51:41

bit that I was like I

51:44

enjoyed it, but it this got

51:46

like it's so creative in the

51:48

violence, but it was just like

51:51

this begins the it is just

51:53

pure action sequence from like here

51:56

until the end. Yeah, the movie

51:58

sort of changes away from gross

52:00

out to just action fighting. So

52:03

they're definitely playing on the

52:05

capture of the hostage special off

52:07

sort of thing. Like it feels

52:09

like an A-team episode. Now this

52:12

violent is is there's many many

52:14

beats with this ups and downs

52:16

and twists and turns but it

52:18

is very like okay it's just gonna

52:21

be a lot of like machine gun

52:23

fire and hand-to-hand combat from here

52:25

on out. So it all starts

52:27

with one of the aliens walking

52:29

through the hall senses them behind

52:32

him, reaches for his gun suddenly as

52:34

he's about to turn around, they gun

52:36

him down. Everyone's alerted so they

52:39

run upstairs, gun down the paddy

52:41

cakers. Yep. And then the guards

52:43

are all at the door. Take them

52:45

out one by one by one. There's

52:47

some, one of the aliens is just

52:50

sitting around like drinking whiskey, like

52:52

getting drunk? I don't like which doesn't

52:54

look like any of the other aliens.

52:56

He looks like like kind of like

52:58

a like someone from like an Irish

53:00

play. Yeah, you know, like he's got

53:03

like the little Fedora hat on in

53:05

the vest, but he gets shot bullet

53:07

in the forehead which then pours into

53:09

his glass. Uh-huh. Perfect. Oh my God.

53:11

We've gone over. We've skipped over. I

53:14

know I'm going back. I know I'm

53:16

going back. Please. There's too many gags.

53:18

There's too many gags. So back. So

53:20

back. I'm going to the beginning. is

53:22

being attacked by those zombies, and

53:25

his gun jams. What does he

53:27

do? He just goes, and makes

53:29

the noise of an oozy, which

53:32

stuns the alien, and he goes,

53:34

wait, I'm not hurt, and gives

53:36

him time to unjam the oozy

53:38

to actually shoot him. That was,

53:41

thank you, yes. The reason I

53:43

bring this up is because, one,

53:45

it's the dumbest thing. It's like

53:48

literally the equivalent of like...

53:50

the coyote putting a fake

53:52

tunnel on the rock and then

53:54

the roadrunner going through the fake

53:56

tunnel and then the coyote getting

53:59

hit by the fact you know

54:01

like that yeah but what's what

54:03

I love about these action sequences

54:05

is that you can tell that

54:08

these guns are not real and

54:10

they're literally just the actors going

54:12

just like vibrating the guns and

54:14

then they add in cartoon explosions

54:17

uh-huh so nothing is being fired

54:19

it's just like a like it's

54:21

literally like like the 1960s Batman

54:23

where it says like like that

54:26

little like action bubble in just

54:28

like a single frame cartoon and

54:30

that's what the explosions are made

54:32

of it's tremendous it's so good

54:35

they did such a great job

54:37

with with distracting you with that

54:39

because I clock the fact that

54:41

you don't there's no like gunfire

54:44

out of the barrel like you

54:46

would with like modern day I

54:48

watched the movie Mads which is

54:50

a French zombie film from last

54:53

year it's really fun watch really

54:55

fun movie but they've you can

54:57

see in all of in the

54:59

gunfire scenes where they've just you

55:02

can just digitally these days add

55:04

gunfire coming like the blast coming

55:06

out of the the barrel but

55:08

back in 1987 or 84 whenever

55:11

they were right yeah like 1983

55:13

yeah you just add the sound

55:15

effects and you just like hand

55:17

draw a single frame of a

55:20

white bubble over it to be

55:22

like there's a gunblast sequence of

55:24

events we get outside we're shooting

55:26

down all of the the alien

55:29

people the aliens kind of go

55:31

down in one shot like our

55:33

the boys are winning the battle

55:35

even though there's a ton of

55:38

aliens but it's it's more like

55:40

there's an alien bang bang bang

55:42

bang it's storm trooper logic we

55:44

don't that's right that they those

55:47

aliens can't hit shit no These

55:49

guys are pretty good firing their

55:51

guns and shooting. I do like

55:53

the gag where one of them

55:56

is actually getting shot at for

55:58

once and he's like oh no

56:00

and he's kind of doing the

56:02

like, you know, kind of rolling

56:05

out of the way of the

56:07

gunfire, rolling out of the way

56:09

of the gunfire, trying to figure

56:11

out where the gunfire is coming

56:14

from, and then sees a tree,

56:16

starts shooting up into the tree,

56:18

and then one alien falls out,

56:20

another alien falls out, a third,

56:23

and then a fourth just sort

56:25

of tumbles from the branches. There's

56:27

a fun hand-to-hand fight sequence with

56:30

the chef. Yes. And I think

56:32

it's Ozzy that confronts the chef.

56:34

It's a little tough to tell

56:36

who's who in this moment because

56:39

everyone's in a mask. That is

56:41

very true, yes. So Ozzy gets

56:43

grabbed from behind, the chef is

56:45

coming at him, but then Ozzy

56:48

does the back flip over the

56:50

man holding him. That guy gets

56:52

stabbed, and then he flips both

56:54

of them over the railing to

56:57

their death from 10 feet up,

56:59

I guess. Sure, of course, yeah.

57:01

For my first floor window. Oh,

57:03

so Derek has arrived because he

57:06

had heard the gunshots going off,

57:08

but he... somebody fires at him

57:10

and it shoots his hat off.

57:12

So that's when he has to

57:15

use his belt. But before that,

57:17

he's lost some of his brain.

57:19

He steps on some of his

57:21

brain, so that's not usable. Uh-huh.

57:24

So later when he kills an

57:26

alien, he's like, wait a minute.

57:28

Just grabs a handful of alien

57:30

brain. Shoves it right and just

57:33

mushes it on in there into

57:35

the back of his head Because

57:37

he's not doing very well like

57:39

once he loses that little glob

57:42

of brain He's kind of like

57:44

running into walls and shit, but

57:46

then he puts the alien brain

57:48

in and he's suddenly much more

57:51

functional Sure how to brain works

57:53

logical sense. Uh-huh One of the

57:55

aliens has captured Giles and is

57:57

about to shoot him execution style

58:00

but Ozzy shows up shoots that

58:02

alien in the head again blood

58:04

splatter everywhere so Derek gets back

58:06

into his car one he runs

58:09

down an alien on the road.

58:11

Yes. Oh, which bisects that alien?

58:13

Yes, totally have. Has the alien

58:15

horizontally? Yes. So then he goes

58:18

into the trunk of his big

58:20

van vehicle bubble car. The Beatles,

58:22

the Beatles car. He's got, oh,

58:24

like a giant crate in there

58:27

that I... died at this because

58:29

it's got a little code on

58:31

it that you have to press

58:33

in the code to open it

58:36

and that's a hand-held calculator. It's

58:38

a pocket calculator and it just

58:40

goes beep-boop-bop-bep-boop and then inside is

58:42

like a red velvet lined box

58:45

with a huge chainsaw. Yeah. So

58:47

thank you, Evil Dead. Like I

58:49

feel like, I feel like, like,

58:51

I know that Peter Jackson was

58:54

actually inspired by the low-budget commitment

58:56

to comedy horror that was the

58:58

Evil Dead and that directly inspired

59:00

this movie. And see, this is

59:03

one of those things where you're

59:05

like, it's possible to be inspired

59:07

by something, but not rip it

59:09

off. No, he uses the chainsaw.

59:12

Sparingly and I think very to

59:14

great effect, but also I wanted

59:16

to note that one he has

59:18

to enter a code to open

59:21

the box that contains a chainsaw

59:23

But the other crate in the

59:25

other car contains a missile launcher

59:27

that requires nothing more than just

59:30

pop and open a latch. Yeah

59:32

Well, it does have a lock

59:34

on it. Oh, it does. Yeah,

59:36

he has to shoot a normal

59:39

lock on it though. Yes, like

59:41

a suitcase lock. Yes, like a

59:43

suitcase lock. Constant fighting in

59:45

and around the house, we're getting swarmed

59:48

by aliens, Barry's still in the house,

59:50

the other two guys are outside the

59:52

house, Barry's getting swarmed, and now we've

59:55

got the leader of Lord Crumb is

59:57

kind of on the loose, he's just

59:59

got a... a little bit fun, yeah,

1:00:02

a little pistol, he's getting involved. And

1:00:04

Lord Crumb is definitely, he's

1:00:06

more of the like, duck and hide and

1:00:08

then jump out, you know, he's

1:00:10

like, he's not looking to fight

1:00:13

these guys, he's looking to survive.

1:00:15

Robert finally gets killed by Oz who

1:00:17

throws the machete or bayonet or

1:00:19

whatever through his neck. I think so,

1:00:21

yes, yeah, RIP Robert. I think

1:00:24

then in the process of dying,

1:00:26

he has a gun and shoots.

1:00:28

Lord Crumb accidentallyidentally. who then goes

1:00:31

into full alien transformation. Yeah,

1:00:33

kind of lets out a

1:00:35

like cry. He like starts

1:00:37

shaking all the other aliens

1:00:39

start shaking. Uh-huh. And then

1:00:41

we get the big reveal

1:00:43

that they look like dickheads

1:00:46

with big badonk-donk bony-buts.

1:00:48

Okay, so scientists,

1:00:50

so, scientists, but like, you know,

1:00:52

our crew, the boys, and Giles,

1:00:54

make a mad dash for the

1:00:57

muscle car. They peel out just

1:00:59

in time and the aliens,

1:01:01

I'll flip them though, the

1:01:03

double figure, whatever. Did you,

1:01:05

okay, so one of the

1:01:07

things I'd never seen this

1:01:09

movie, but being a child

1:01:12

of the 80s, seeing this

1:01:14

video box in the horror

1:01:16

movie section was like the

1:01:18

most forbidden fruit

1:01:21

because it had the alien

1:01:23

like flipping the bird on

1:01:25

the box. And as like

1:01:27

a. you know, 10 to 15 year old.

1:01:29

I was like, oh, this

1:01:31

one, that's a, what is

1:01:33

this? And apparently, because, you

1:01:36

know, American, married a

1:01:38

little more fundamental, the

1:01:40

video VHS boxes in America

1:01:42

were sold with an extra

1:01:45

sticker of a finger, so

1:01:47

that way they could put

1:01:49

a second finger on to

1:01:51

make it kind of look more

1:01:53

like a peace sign rather than

1:01:56

flipping the bird. No, but or

1:01:58

the reverse sort of the like the

1:02:00

British fuck you is the British

1:02:02

fuck you. Is that the British

1:02:05

fuck you? Does the British fuck

1:02:07

you translate into New Zealand? Probably.

1:02:09

But apparently it was more for

1:02:11

the American market that could not

1:02:13

handle the Reagan's America could not

1:02:16

handle being flipped the bird on

1:02:18

the cover of a fully viewable

1:02:20

VHS box. So they get some

1:02:22

distance from the house. Aussie is

1:02:24

like wait. I want to go,

1:02:26

we gotta take care of these

1:02:29

bastards. Yeah, like these three following

1:02:31

us are just gonna keep on,

1:02:33

because they shoot out the muscle

1:02:35

car engine. Yes, that's what it

1:02:37

is. So their car breaks down,

1:02:40

so they're gonna have to walk

1:02:42

to go get help or whoever.

1:02:44

And Ozzy's like, no, fuck this,

1:02:46

we gotta take these guys. I'm

1:02:48

gonna, you guys go get help,

1:02:51

do what you do. I'm gonna

1:02:53

open this crate, and inside is

1:02:55

a missile launcher. Bring out Big

1:02:57

Bertha. and these aliens go get

1:02:59

they all sit in the car

1:03:01

and start doing like pretend to

1:03:04

try like little kids like boom

1:03:06

boom yeah they turn on the

1:03:08

radio but the radio has the

1:03:10

death like the headbanger music and

1:03:12

they're all like oh no it

1:03:15

hurts my ears oh this music

1:03:17

so bad I'm in me mom's

1:03:19

car broom room get out me

1:03:21

car And so then Ozzy just

1:03:23

fires this bazuka, blows the whole

1:03:26

car up with the aliens in

1:03:28

it, and Frank was like, that's

1:03:30

my car. Yeah, like from far

1:03:32

away, it's like, that was my

1:03:34

car. Ozzy loads another missile into

1:03:36

this bazuka, and then blows off

1:03:39

the top, half the top floor

1:03:41

of this house. Yes. And Frank

1:03:43

goes, Jesus Christ, Ozzy, that's a

1:03:45

historical homestead. So Frank

1:03:48

has come back to help Ozzy

1:03:50

and they've run into the house

1:03:52

to fight more aliens. Derek at

1:03:54

one point in time, so these

1:03:57

two boys get cornered by an

1:03:59

alien? Yeah. And then suddenly that

1:04:01

alien's head starts tearing open. Yes.

1:04:04

But not before Derek actually gets

1:04:06

one of the best entrances. Okay.

1:04:08

Like just Derek getting into the

1:04:11

house is a meal unto itself.

1:04:13

Because there's a fully opened door

1:04:15

right next to him. But he

1:04:18

starts chainsawing into the side of

1:04:20

the house. Action sequence, action sequence,

1:04:22

action sequence. We cut back and

1:04:24

there's a Derek-sized hole holding a

1:04:27

chainsaw that he has cut out

1:04:29

of the house. And like one

1:04:31

arm is like in the air

1:04:34

so he's kind of got to

1:04:36

walk through like yes. Like those

1:04:38

like Japanese game shows where they

1:04:41

like put the thing and you

1:04:43

have to like fit your body

1:04:45

to the shape. Yeah. But yes,

1:04:48

okay, just had to mention I

1:04:50

was like come like. Thank you.

1:04:52

But yes, yeah, like the boys

1:04:54

are cornered. The alien starts just

1:04:57

vibrating and then splits in half.

1:04:59

Yep. And they see Derek and

1:05:01

those Frank and Ozzy are like,

1:05:04

oh he's lost his bloody mind.

1:05:06

Like Derek's cracked. Yeah. So they

1:05:08

just run away from him. I

1:05:11

like that there's a moment where

1:05:13

Ozzy just like speed bags and

1:05:15

aliens face. Oh my God I

1:05:17

know. And then he's in a

1:05:20

fist fight with it. And Frank

1:05:22

just shoots the alien dead. Let's

1:05:24

get out here. As they're trying

1:05:27

to get away now, Ozzy gets

1:05:29

shot in the leg. Yes. And

1:05:31

falls. Frank grabs the bazuka, he

1:05:34

sees Lord Crum up on the

1:05:36

top floor, fires this bazuka which

1:05:38

goes just over Lord Crum's shoulder

1:05:41

out the window in the back,

1:05:43

missing the building entirely, ends up...

1:05:45

flying through the fields and blowing

1:05:47

up a sheep. A single sheep.

1:05:50

Which apparently was supposed to be

1:05:52

like a running gag. Like a

1:05:54

sheep is supposed to get in,

1:05:57

like kind of this like... a

1:05:59

sheep in a field gets hurt

1:06:01

in many different ways. But they

1:06:04

had to cut it down to

1:06:06

just one because the sheep were

1:06:08

too aggressive. They kept attacking the

1:06:11

actors. So they had to cut

1:06:13

all the other sheep except for

1:06:15

this one exploding sheep. Oh, the

1:06:17

one good sheep got some spring

1:06:20

time. Irony. Irony. That sheep's a

1:06:22

diva. But then Lord Crum. Is

1:06:24

this Lord Crumb or is this

1:06:27

some other alien that's piloting this

1:06:29

ship? No, it's Lord Crumb. Yeah,

1:06:31

he's like, fuck this. He gets

1:06:34

in his steampunk room. All of

1:06:36

his henchmen are dead. Yes. And

1:06:38

he's like, and this was the

1:06:40

big reveal, because they kept saying

1:06:43

they're like, maybe the spaceship is

1:06:45

around here somewhere. I'm going to

1:06:47

see if I can find the

1:06:50

spaceship. So he's like he's gone

1:06:52

into some room and it looks

1:06:54

very much like the cockpit You

1:06:57

know, it's got like a swivel

1:06:59

chair. It's got You know pipes

1:07:01

and and things and you know

1:07:04

very like B budget Star Wars

1:07:06

kind of looking thing and he

1:07:08

starts crank in a crank and

1:07:10

like the the like lattice work

1:07:13

at the basement of the house

1:07:15

sort of tucks in. Uh-huh. The

1:07:17

like the trees all sort of

1:07:20

fold up and just start getting

1:07:22

sucked underneath the house. All of

1:07:24

the grass has been like astroturf

1:07:27

that is now being pulled underneath

1:07:29

the house. Why did they need

1:07:31

astroturf Jeffrey? There's grass underneath the

1:07:34

astroturf? Don't know. No. But it

1:07:36

makes for an awesome sequence because

1:07:38

now the two boys are like...

1:07:40

Having to like claw their way

1:07:43

forward on this like sort of

1:07:45

carpet revolving carpet. I really was

1:07:47

convinced I was going to watch

1:07:50

Aussie get shredded and we're just

1:07:52

going to watch like blood fly

1:07:54

out like wood chipper style. Yeah,

1:07:57

me. I don't know it felt

1:07:59

feels like one of those like

1:08:01

I think good is going to

1:08:03

vanquish evil this movie but they

1:08:06

do manage to save them at the

1:08:08

last minute yeah they hang on to

1:08:10

the grass of the tree branch and

1:08:12

get free from all of it sucking

1:08:15

up and then the ship the house

1:08:17

just launches straight up I love that

1:08:19

there's just like a giant hole

1:08:21

from the bazuka blast in the

1:08:24

second floor of this house I

1:08:26

just was wondering how How

1:08:28

oxygen protection? Yeah, sure.

1:08:30

How about a pressurized

1:08:32

cabin? Sure. I think at one

1:08:34

point, like all the doors

1:08:37

do sort of close. Uh-huh.

1:08:39

So that's how. They definitely

1:08:41

have to have like pillow

1:08:44

windows on that thing. Jeffrey,

1:08:46

you just closed the door.

1:08:48

Yeah. It keeps the oxygen

1:08:51

in. Yeah, totally. You're letting

1:08:53

all the oxygen out. Were

1:08:55

you born in a barn?

1:08:57

technically impressive sequences in

1:09:00

this because you literally see and

1:09:02

it's like because it's so

1:09:04

detailed like models of a

1:09:06

house lifting up like real

1:09:09

like it's it's really impressively

1:09:11

put together like the movie

1:09:13

magic of it because you

1:09:15

see this house with like

1:09:17

flames coming out the bottom

1:09:19

uh-huh lifting up into the

1:09:21

air and I can't figure out

1:09:23

how they did it. But it's all

1:09:25

like forced perspective. So it's probably a

1:09:28

much smaller like a smaller model with

1:09:30

like flames on the bottom that they've

1:09:32

shot from far away and from low

1:09:35

under so it looks bigger Yeah,

1:09:37

but I like I I watched this

1:09:39

this liftoff sequence like twice because I

1:09:41

was like this is fucking masterful. It's

1:09:43

fun. It's a it's a really

1:09:45

delightful little sequence to see this

1:09:47

thing rocketing up into the sky

1:09:49

But Derek is still inside the

1:09:51

ship still on board And he

1:09:53

looks out the window and he

1:09:55

just sees Earth fading away quickly.

1:09:57

And Lord Crom is on a call.

1:09:59

to his leader saying, listen, we

1:10:02

lost all of our crew,

1:10:04

but we still have the

1:10:06

samples. I've still got all

1:10:08

the boxes of people. And

1:10:10

then he hears the chainsaw

1:10:12

starting up. He's like, wait,

1:10:14

hold the line. Hold the

1:10:16

line. And Derek says, suck

1:10:18

my spinning steel, shithead. Yes.

1:10:20

Incredible line. Yes. He falls

1:10:22

from the ceiling above, where

1:10:24

he's cut the hole where

1:10:26

the chandelier was. Uh-huh. He

1:10:28

goes head first chainsaw first

1:10:30

into the top of Lord

1:10:32

Crumb's head all the way

1:10:34

through his body and out

1:10:36

between his legs. So there's

1:10:38

an extended period where like

1:10:40

the alien is standing upright.

1:10:42

You can see Derek's head

1:10:44

sticking out the bottom. His

1:10:46

foot is sticking out the

1:10:48

alien's mouth. Uh-huh. And this

1:10:50

goes on for a minute

1:10:53

or three. Yes, it does.

1:10:55

gets all the way out

1:10:57

of Lord Crumb's body and

1:10:59

says, I'm born again. Yes.

1:11:01

And then he says into

1:11:03

the radio, I'm coming to

1:11:05

get you bastards. Right? He

1:11:07

may not say it in

1:11:09

the radio. He just sets

1:11:11

that line. And then he

1:11:13

takes Crumb's face and puts

1:11:15

it over his own. And

1:11:17

just like cackles maniacally. The

1:11:19

others hop into... Derek's Beatles

1:11:21

Mobile and ride off into

1:11:23

the sunset Sunrise and we

1:11:25

get the bad taste rock

1:11:27

song which I want to

1:11:29

say was written by one

1:11:31

of the actors I think

1:11:33

it was written co-written by

1:11:35

the guy who placed Frank.

1:11:37

Oh my god, of course

1:11:39

it was. The end Cecil,

1:11:41

shall we rate this movie?

1:11:43

Yes, let's. All right, let's

1:11:45

start with approachability how Approachable

1:11:47

is this movie of your

1:11:49

horror movie a verse on

1:11:51

a scale of one to

1:11:53

ten with one being the

1:11:55

least approachable ten being very

1:11:57

approachable for the horror verse

1:12:00

This one's tough because it's not

1:12:02

scary by any stretch of the

1:12:05

imagination. It's really funny, really fun,

1:12:07

but it is so disgusting. Like

1:12:09

it delights in how gross it

1:12:11

is. The title of the film,

1:12:13

referring to people eating humans, but

1:12:16

also just the tone of the

1:12:18

film. is in bad taste in

1:12:20

a comedic way. It's rude. Like

1:12:22

you're never gonna look at any

1:12:24

of the special effects and think,

1:12:27

oh my gosh, is that a

1:12:29

real person that's having his arm?

1:12:31

Oh, like it doesn't look real,

1:12:33

but it's graphic. It's graphic and

1:12:35

it's gross. Like the vomit bowl

1:12:38

thing and just like the even

1:12:40

the spike to his foot, which

1:12:42

all you see of that is

1:12:44

just red paint squirting out of

1:12:46

the bottom of a shoe. You

1:12:49

don't even see skin getting pierced.

1:12:51

But it still makes you squirm.

1:12:53

So I don't know, let's give

1:12:55

it two out of ten exploded

1:12:58

sheep for approachability. It's really just

1:13:00

going to depend on if you

1:13:02

are averse to scares, like the

1:13:04

grudge or the ring or stuff

1:13:06

that's going to like give you

1:13:09

nightmare fuel, then this movie's fine.

1:13:11

You'll have no problem. But if

1:13:13

you don't like being grossed out

1:13:15

by people being gross outs. Diserated?

1:13:17

Yes, yes. But again, like Cecil

1:13:20

said, it's never realistic looking, but

1:13:22

it's affecting. So for approachability, we'll

1:13:24

say two out of ten. To

1:13:26

speak nothing of approachability, Cecil, what

1:13:28

do you rate this as a

1:13:31

horror film? As a horror film,

1:13:33

this one's pretty darn good. I

1:13:35

think Dead Alive earns its reputation

1:13:37

as being like the superior horror

1:13:39

film. But this is like real

1:13:42

close below it just because it

1:13:44

has that independent film inspired. If

1:13:46

you like the evil dead, the

1:13:48

original, you'll probably like this movie.

1:13:50

same kind of humor, same style

1:13:53

of horror, except a little less

1:13:55

scary. So for that reason, I

1:13:57

would say seven out of ten

1:13:59

bags of holding. Yeah, great. Evil

1:14:01

Dead is such a great comp

1:14:04

to this movie. Evil Dead, and

1:14:06

Evil Dead too, if you've seen

1:14:08

either of those movies, and we're

1:14:10

fine with that. Yeah, like the

1:14:12

Venn diagram of Evil Dead and

1:14:15

Toxic Adventure, this is the center

1:14:17

of that Venn diagram. Well, let's

1:14:19

figure out what movie we will

1:14:21

watch next. You've got a scare

1:14:23

die. I've got a style die.

1:14:26

We'll roll those dice up and

1:14:28

see what movie matches those two

1:14:30

things. So Cecil, on your scare

1:14:32

die, if you roll a one,

1:14:34

our next movie's Scare, Technology. Two,

1:14:37

Wild Card. Three, normal people. Four,

1:14:39

Mother Nature, Five, Haunted Scare. Or

1:14:41

Six, witchy scare. What's our scare?

1:14:43

That's a two. Finally got that

1:14:46

Wild Card. 12 weeks made it

1:14:48

12 weeks on the list. I

1:14:50

like being in charge. Yeah, all

1:14:52

right style I'm gonna roll my

1:14:54

style die if I roll a

1:14:57

one or Whatever movie we want

1:14:59

we don't we have a wildcard

1:15:01

scare But the style has to

1:15:03

be black and white for a

1:15:05

one two has to be a

1:15:08

procedural three it has to have

1:15:10

a title that is the blank

1:15:12

four it's a campy movie five

1:15:14

it's from the 1980s or six

1:15:16

it's from a country in the

1:15:19

EU For Campy, which has been

1:15:21

on their five weeks, and Wild

1:15:23

Card. Oh, fun. Normally we will

1:15:25

check Letterboxed because we have Random

1:15:27

Horror 9 at Letterbox. We keep

1:15:30

lists of all the possible die

1:15:32

rolls. You can contribute your thoughts

1:15:34

on movies. It would fit those

1:15:36

things to kind of help us

1:15:38

pick our next movie. But in

1:15:41

this case, because it's a Wild

1:15:43

Card. We won't be visiting Letterbox

1:15:45

this time, but still visit that

1:15:47

we keep those lists updated. See,

1:15:49

so what did you put on

1:15:52

your wild card wish list for

1:15:54

campy horror? So I tried to

1:15:56

do a little, you know, kind

1:15:58

of a spread over my three

1:16:00

movies. The first one is one

1:16:03

of my favorite campy 80s horror

1:16:05

movies, which is the stuff. Yeah.

1:16:07

Very tongue and cheek,

1:16:09

commentary on 80s consumerism

1:16:11

about this sort

1:16:14

of yogurt-like substance

1:16:16

that makes people

1:16:18

want to consume more. Uh-huh.

1:16:20

The stuff. It even has

1:16:23

like a cool like commercial

1:16:25

dance sequence shoot. It would

1:16:27

also be fun coming off

1:16:29

of The Return of the

1:16:31

Living Dead and Bad Taste.

1:16:33

Yep. Because it's just kind

1:16:35

of in that 80s, gloopy,

1:16:37

gloppy sort of bit. The second

1:16:39

movie I've not seen, but I

1:16:41

have a sneaking suspicion that it's

1:16:44

going to be pretty campy. I

1:16:46

can't say for sure though. And

1:16:48

that is Motel Hell. That's another

1:16:50

cannibally sort of thing,

1:16:52

right? Yeah. Did I have that right?

1:16:55

Yeah. Also have not seen this movie.

1:16:57

Kind of silly romp. And

1:16:59

then the last movie that

1:17:02

I picked is Leprecon.

1:17:04

Because honestly Jennifer Aniston.

1:17:07

Like I was gonna

1:17:09

say a movie about

1:17:12

an evil magical Leprecon

1:17:14

starring of Anjounu Jennifer

1:17:17

Aniston to me says camp.

1:17:19

Let's see here. I put three

1:17:22

movies on here. I put

1:17:24

Death becomes her. Oh sure.

1:17:26

Movie I haven't seen since the

1:17:28

90s. I think okay, okay One that

1:17:30

I would love to rewatch but

1:17:32

definitely fits the mold of we're

1:17:34

making a movie that is a

1:17:37

body horror Yeah Which he's sort

1:17:39

of deal with the double portion?

1:17:41

Smart like the script for this

1:17:43

is so fucking funny second movie

1:17:45

I put on here which is

1:17:48

more surreal. What the fuck did

1:17:50

I just watch as a 2010

1:17:52

movie called rubber? I I'm so

1:17:54

curious about this movie It's just

1:17:57

about a killer tire, right? Is

1:17:59

and... So much more. Okay. This

1:18:01

is the example of a movie

1:18:03

that is doing something with the

1:18:05

script that is really interesting. I

1:18:08

have seen this. I saw this

1:18:10

based off Joseph Fink's recommendation that

1:18:12

I really should watch it. But

1:18:14

it's that makes sense. It's a

1:18:16

bit of a, it's absolutely shockey

1:18:18

and stupid, but incredibly smarty pants.

1:18:21

Like it feels like playwright type

1:18:23

of material. Like it's interesting. It

1:18:25

seems similar to like in fabric.

1:18:27

Okay, yeah. The killer, the killer

1:18:29

pants, the killer jeans movie. One

1:18:31

of the lead actors in this

1:18:33

movie is Stephen Spinelli, who wanna

1:18:36

Tony Award for Angels in America.

1:18:38

And he has one of the

1:18:40

best opening monologues to a movie

1:18:42

I've ever seen. It's so good.

1:18:44

Okay. Love rubber. I think rubber's

1:18:46

fun. If we don't get to

1:18:49

it today, highly recommend you all

1:18:51

check it out. It's a little

1:18:53

gory and goofy and goofy, but

1:18:55

it's funny. Good. Okay, the third

1:18:57

one that I have on my

1:18:59

list, which leads us to six

1:19:02

total, I'm not sure if it

1:19:04

counts because I haven't seen it,

1:19:06

is the substance. Yes, it does.

1:19:08

I think the, have you seen

1:19:10

it? It does, yeah, I've seen

1:19:12

the substance. It is, it's actually,

1:19:14

the vibe is, excuse me, the

1:19:17

look is actually quite similar to

1:19:19

the 80s, the stuff. It's got

1:19:21

an 80s throwback camp vibe to

1:19:23

it. Okay. That was the sense

1:19:25

I got from seeing the trailer

1:19:27

for it and the sense I

1:19:30

got from hearing what little I've

1:19:32

heard about it that there is

1:19:34

a dark humor to this movie.

1:19:36

Like the Demi Moore and that

1:19:38

and that roast chicken worth it

1:19:40

for the price of admission. We

1:19:43

have some really good ones on

1:19:45

here. They all kind of have

1:19:47

an 80s or 90s sort of

1:19:49

vibe to them. Yeah, that's true.

1:19:51

Well. Let's roll a dice because

1:19:53

we've got six of them. So

1:19:55

if we roll a one we're

1:19:58

gonna watch the stuff two motel

1:20:00

three Leprecon four death becomes her

1:20:02

five rubber or six the substance

1:20:04

Whose turn is it your turn

1:20:06

Cecil? Sure, I'll take it as

1:20:08

well It's been so long. We've

1:20:11

had a wild card. That's a

1:20:13

three leprecon. Oh Yes Hoe-tah-toe-tah-toey Just

1:20:15

in time for St. Patty's Day.

1:20:17

How well do you think this

1:20:19

movie will deal with Irish stereotypes?

1:20:21

The Irish diaspora Right I think

1:20:23

very well. Okay, good. I hope

1:20:26

I mean we've seen was a

1:20:28

leprecon three for this show Leprecon

1:20:30

4 in space, I think, was

1:20:32

this. Leprecon 4, excuse me, Leprecon

1:20:34

4 in space. And listen, we

1:20:36

had questions and I'm hoping that

1:20:39

some of those questions might be

1:20:41

answered. On the podcast, Uy-K-R-R-O, Johnny

1:20:43

and Eileen at the end ask

1:20:45

each other questions about the movie,

1:20:47

and one of the questions they

1:20:49

always asked, because they focus on

1:20:52

Latin American horror movies. So it

1:20:54

bounces around from country to country,

1:20:56

and so they often ask, did

1:20:58

you learn anything about the culture.

1:21:00

And so I feel like I

1:21:02

should remember to ask, we should

1:21:04

ask each other if we learned

1:21:07

anything about Irish culture. Watching Leprecon.

1:21:09

Yes. Okay, let's see. We're gonna

1:21:11

do Leprecon. That's easy enough. It

1:21:13

is available for streaming and also

1:21:15

encourage you if you've got a

1:21:17

library near you, go check out

1:21:20

that DVD if you can as

1:21:22

well. Okay, so thank you all

1:21:24

for listening. Thank you, Cecil, for

1:21:26

1:21:28
