Show Notes Transcript

Did we just watch "The Worst movie Netflix ever released? WTF Netflix?"

Johnny spoils Uncut Gems and even Norbit is better than Hubie Halloween.
Adam Sandler is "the village idiot trope from '60s, 70s, '80s."
Is our co-host Atom an "over talker" worthy of being a Seinfeld episode called "The Over-Talker."
Atom REALLY hates Hubie.
The best bit about Books of Blood is the human book of blood.  Otherwise, Books of Blood is like a TV movie of the week from the '90s.

Speaker 1:

Or movies, movie news, movie stories, and more adventures in video washing from the professional binge waters on this late night comedy and movie podcasts since 2013, hosted by yours, truly Johnnie spoiler joined by my filmmaking buddies, Nikki lates, dangerous Dave and AA, correct?

Speaker 2:

Hyphen, a cold box of wine. Oh, pour something cold on ice because it's the binge-watch has podcast.

Speaker 3:

[inaudible]

Speaker 4:

Adam Sandler offering is going to suck because I remember liking Adam Sandler a lot Oman

Speaker 5:

As far as, yeah. I mean, he kinda didn't make it out of the nineties that he's got a couple into the two thousands, but they're not really memorable. Maybe deeper states, I guess 51st dates. I like click a kind of like, um, I might be the only one I like,

Speaker 1:

You know, you know, it sucks though, based on the number of downloads he has on Netflix, you would think he's successful. And so it doesn't matter. He's going to make movies to the end of time because, uh, I don't remember what movie it's in, but he does a joke where he's like, it might be dirty work where they're tripping balls and, and Adam Sandler shows up as the devil and he goes, yep. We're going to eat the pig and roast like a and burn in hell. Basically. That's what I think his career is like, we're all burning in hell. It's the devil's there. And like, he can't do, he can't do no wrong. It doesn't matter how bad the movies are. Like Netflix was like, oh, by the way, who we Halloween is our number one downloaded movie. And then I go, what do I know then? Because it's one of the worst movies that I've saw the whole year, and it's got a 50% tomato rating and it's got like five stars on INDB. But apparently what 30 million people on Netflix are watching it. So I'm like, okay, either I have no idea about what it, what it, what a good movie actually is. Or like, we, we should rebrand the podcast. Cause like, I'm like, I don't even want to talk about movies anymore for it. Like I give up, I get, I'm like ready to give up on the whole medium, like man,

Speaker 5:

But this isn't new. Like I said, Adam, I mean, Adam Sandler has been going downhill for a while, but the audience is still there. Like I've been known on, I mean, not purposely looking for it, but going through my feed on Facebook, people are either praising it or hating. And it's like, it's almost an equal numbers, but that means it's got enough people liking him to keep them afloat. So

Speaker 1:

I watch his movies for the Schneider cameos cause usually the Snyder cameos are funnier than Adam Sandler through the entire movie. But this time, you know, Rob Schneider was in the shadows, the whole movie, you know, you know, he didn't really do anything. He was funny as the guy missing his fingers, that it got attacked by a shark and that wrong Missy movie, you know, but Schneider had a Netflix special that sucked too. I don't know what it is. Like the algorithm who the hell knows how this game really is played. Like, are people putting these on, in the background? Like they say that notoriously a podcast, right? But they say, are they actually listening? Like they say like, oh, podcast listeners are listening to podcasts on the way to pick up their coffee and donuts in the morning on the way to work or they're doing their laundry. So they're listening to 15 minutes of your show here. Then later on, they're doing the dishes. They listen to the rest of your show. So it's like, are they actually watching the movies on Netflix? Or it's just like, is that why Netflix has to ask you if you're still watching? Because they don't actually really know if you're still watching. You know what I mean? Like imagine if nobody's actually watching, but they still counted anyway.

Speaker 5:

Yeah, dude, I could totally see this. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid and I got like a, a VHS, I would wear the out of VHS. I could see kids doing that with this. Like repeating it. Like

Speaker 1:

You think generation forget about it is you're just going to keep watching this movie over and over again.

Speaker 5:

I mean, possibly. I mean, I hope I'm afraid.

Speaker 4:

Yeah. There'd be like some servers somewhere where they're like, they feel like that the boost, the numbers so they can trick as many people into Washington's garbage as it possibly can look.

Speaker 1:

Well, if you were Netflix, what did you just go? If you were Netflix, wouldn't you just go hire a bot farm. If you're like, oh, nobody's watching them Sandler. What are we going to do? You know what? Let's go buy some Netflix downloads. All right guys. Wait,

Speaker 4:

I think at this point we're watching, we ask ourselves the question is, could it be this bad? Like, is he going to put out another stinker? Is Adam Sandler going to actually be able to pull something out? I mean, he just made this uncut gems movie and maybe like that exposure to that kind of set and that kind of like the high level of play. Hey, you know what?

Speaker 1:

No alert, spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Skip ahead. 30 seconds. Cause I'm about to ruin that Safdie brothers movie for you right now that Adam just brought up called uncut gems. Adam Sandler gets assassinated in that movie and rightly so, because maybe if the got shot, we wouldn't have any more of these stupid movies. Blam. I'm going to have to put an explicit E on this episode, I'm going to have to officially declare it because I think that's what the F-word more than six times and apple doesn't like that. So I'm going to have to like, yeah, we swore don't worry. Apple. You can tell the pre-teens I swore on this one. It's okay.

Speaker 4:

We are watching Sandler movies just to see if he's ever going to make a good movie again.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's the train

Speaker 4:

Wreck. You got to watch the car accident. You got it the, well, yeah, it's partly that like, look, you're either going to get a train wreck, but you're hoping, you're hoping that the train will reach its destination because you know, Adam is talented.

Speaker 1:

Do you actually, because of this movie, I don't ever want to talk to him ever. Like I've actually given up on them. Like I used to like, I'm like, I don't want, I have no interest after this podcast. It's going to be like the Hobbit situation. I never gonna want to talk about it,

Speaker 5:

But why now though? Like what, why is this? I mean, first of all, I'm with you, the movie like we're agreeing, but like, why is this the straw that breaks the camel's back. He's already made the ridiculous. Cause he's made the, how many of these Netflix he's made pixels. He's made horrible movie after horrible movie. You're like, why is it this the straw?

Speaker 1:

I dunno. It's just well timed. It's just, well time David, David, cause it's 2020, and nobody has patience for anymore. That's why, because of where we're at,

Speaker 5:

This is the first Adam Sandler comedy. I mean, and I stress that comedy cause I've seen uncut gems and Myron stories. But like this is the first comedy of his I've seen since pixels. Cause I gave up on him a long time ago. Like not funny anymore.

Speaker 4:

Not at all. This is a Adam Sandler's Norbit. I turned it on after

Speaker 1:

Right here. Here's the thing though. I ranked Norbit hired in this movie. I think it's actually an insult to Norbit to compare to normal.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. I even, I have to disagree with that. I, I saw theater, dude. Excuse me. There's another explicit for you.

Speaker 4:

Uh, Eddie Murphy's low is not the same as Adam. Sandler's low.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Um, audience at home as you're listening, if you're getting confused, what we're discussing is one of tonight's movies. It's called boobie Halloween. It's Adam Sandler's latest Netflix deal movie that just has come out basically. Um, we'll get into that. We're going to start. We're gonna, well, I guess we'll just keep going. I guess there's no other movie news besides this Adam Sandler train wreck to discuss, I wrote down a bunch of things that happened in the world of TV and movies, but I guess we'll just keep going. So tonight's movies are UV, Halloween and books of blood books of what is on Hulu. Uh, Hubie Halloween is on, on Netflix. What is it about, this is how I would describe it if Billy Madison died in a DUI car accident and um, what's the other guy? Who's the golf playing guy. Happy man. It's oh yeah. Okay. So Billy Madison and ha and then there's happy Gilmore. So if happy Gilmore was playing golf and got struck by lightning and these two bodies were in the morgue and I'm sitting there, went there and Frankensteined them, then you'd have Hubie Halloween. And actually it was funny, but his character he's like Gomer piles, right? Go going problems. And it's like a simple minded guy from Mayberry in this old, old TV show. And um, basically between the sixties, seventies and eighties cinema, you could actually have a character who was, who was like called the village idiot. Right? Like that was like actually a character. Now you can't have a handy, capable character, but that's basically what Hubie, uh, Dubois would be. And, um, Adam, Sandler's not the only guy who does this, who plays like a, what seems to be a person who's not all there, but they do it with funny voices. So it's okay. Right.

Speaker 5:

He missed out on one person in there though. I think happy Gilmore. And uh, Billy Madison made out with, uh, Bobby Bouschet. Cause I also hear a hint of the water

Speaker 1:

Bottle water boy in there. Okay. You know how he got in there? The water boy came by and uh, Jackie laid it on the corpses,

Speaker 5:

Dave,

Speaker 1:

Hey dude, you want to know how water boy gets included. He came by and on the corpses and then they slept together. The Halloween Heavey

Speaker 5:

Got, as you can tell, we adore this movie.

Speaker 4:

Wait, wait question guys. How long did you watch this movie before you turned it off to watch something else?

Speaker 5:

Well, it washes over the course of periods.

Speaker 6:

Finish this movie. Cause I didn't know,

Speaker 5:

This is

Speaker 6:

Just too short for Adam Sandler to keep, but raping me like this.

Speaker 5:

So do I say I finished it? That means like the last 45 minutes I was up. Excuse me, farting on my phone and uh, had it on. I, it was on, I mean I get ranked it ranked the Netflix minutes. Ah, sorry. Well, we're already explicit anyways.

Speaker 1:

Well, well, so are we going to like walk through everybody's individual who be experienced or just like just generalize? Cause like, I mean, I, I stayed up in the middle of the night as it's released at three o'clock Eastern standard time on Netflix to give a review, rush it to our blog, to be like the first new site to throw it out there. So at like 4 45, I'm typing this two minute review up. Right. It gets out there it's a one minute read. Then I recorded a podcast episode of a mini review so people could know what it was. And like I was prepared that it was going to be terrible. You're right, Dave, like I was lined up for a disappointment. So at least that spared me from total. Like just feeling like I wasted my time in the middle of the night, you know,

Speaker 5:

I feel partially responsible for this because I literally, I have not laughed at Adam Sandler in years and I saw the trailer for the trailer and I was like, oh, that might actually be funny. I put that out into the world. What the was I thinking?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. Let's go to our first impressions. Uh, Nick, what is your first impression of UV? Halloween?

Speaker 6:

As I said, life is too short to get, keep getting messed up by Adam Sandler movies.

Speaker 1:

Hey Adam, what are you a few words. What is your first impression of Hubie Halloween?

Speaker 4:

I watched the movie in more and more segments than Dave.

Speaker 1:

Dave, what is your first impression of Hubie Halloween? I had to

Speaker 5:

Actually, cause I tried this two different ways. One, I was very inebriated and the first seven minutes, like it's not as bad as everybody's thinking and keep that reader sober for the next 30 minutes. I was like, oh God. Oh God.

Speaker 1:

And mine was simple. He'll be sucks. Like that's it two words. Um, let's uh, let's actually, I'm going to, you know what, we're going to take a break here. We're right back after these messages. And then we'll go into first impressions of our other movie that we're featuring tonight. Books of blood, which is doesn't have Adam sandwiches. So don't worry folks.

We're back already because you know what I did, I dropped into recording right there while I was counting. That's right. Folks. It's all, it's all edited. You know, look at the man behind the freaking one of the curtain. Yeah, yeah, man behind the curtain. Um, so w we're back we're now we're talking about books of blood books of blood is an adaptation of a Clive Barker anthology book. Literally the books in blood are spoiler alert, you know? Um, well I feel like there's, this episode is going to be very spoiler contained. So yeah. Anyway, there's no way around it. The books of blood are carved out on a human and that the stories of dead people and the book is literally just the story. The anthology is just victims and their stories get carved into the dude. And that's it. Um, let's go to first impressions. Let's start with Dave because Dave hyped, this one up, I think, um, gave first impressions books of blood on Hulu.

Speaker 5:

Um, I, by no means a classic, but I had a hell of a fun time with this movie. I really liked it.

Speaker 1:

Wow. Uh, Nick first impressions books, blood.

Speaker 5:

Oh, going from Adam Sandler to this. This is citizen Kane guys. This is,

Speaker 1:

Oh man. Uh, AA. What do you got for us?

Speaker 4:

Yeah. If these are the only two movies in existence, Adam Sandler would be right out of town.

Speaker 1:

That's your first impression of books of blood? Jeez. Um,

Speaker 4:

Okay. It doesn't have UV, a plus wow. Books of blood.

Speaker 1:

I kept the first impression separated as a true professional. Uh, I said, uh, books of blood, not very bloody, not very bloody. It wasn't bloody enough for me. So, um, if the, if the book is filled with blood, I expect it to be dripping wet from the pages. You know, it's so sticky. You can't get away from it and it didn't do it for me. Um, let's see. Okay. So this is going to be really funny. The favorite bits from who? Halloween.

Speaker 5:

I did have one January. I got one. I got one. Jenny

Speaker 1:

Who wants to start any main character. Dave, you start since you're talking the most.

Speaker 5:

All right, sorry. So the only time I actually laugh and it's a dumb joke, but he's telling this old Italian one, like I say, I made a and she walks off. She was like, why are you talking about his bone? That was it. That was the

Speaker 1:

So simple. He gets confused by. Cause it was mother's t-shirt she gave him a fake reason for what are or whatever. Yeah,

Speaker 4:

I, yeah, I laughed that time because they set it up earlier. And that wasn't funny because bone used to refer to like, if you made a goof or GAF and uh, you know, and then when he did it with the old lady, like set it with the old lady, but it was underplayed that got a laugh out of me. Absolutely. But then they, when they revisit it every other time, when they tried to have running lots of running gags in this movie, none of which really worked that well, this one worked. Yeah. I had a laugh there too.

Speaker 1:

So was that your favorite bit as well, Adam? I mean, come on, you're just coat Taylor.

Speaker 4:

No, no, my favorite, this is a spoiler, but you know what I mean? I'm not recommending anyone watch this movie anyway, but um, save your life, use your heartbeats on good movies, well reviewed or something. Anyway, uh, dude,

Speaker 1:

I asked you for a favorite bit and you go back there, first impressions,

Speaker 4:

Shaquille O'Neal, uh, you know, doing his little gag where he immediately, he goes into a high voice, which I guess they didn't post or whatever, and is like, she killed he'll he'll to be funny. And then like the first moment of that, where you see the gag, I thought that was funny, but I mean the weirdness with the other people on the kissing and the sandwich in between all that, and none of that was interesting, but the, just to the contrast of just giant man doing this female voice. So that was funny for a short moment. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Uh, Nikki T or Nikki late. Sorry. I used your actual real initial.

Speaker 6:

I have one favorite moment. It was when I picked up the remote and I just turned it off. That was really good because I felt better.

Speaker 1:

Wow. They're giving this movie no wiggle room. Um, okay. So I got to the mother's nasty t-shirts what's kind of playing to what Dave and Adam were talking about, but she keeps changing her t-shirts and they're always these like, uh, unsavory, like urban dictionary slogans. Right. That's where that Boehner thing came from. And uh, but it's a great deal of teachers just said like 50 cents, you know, she, her and her friend got these dirty t-shirts or whatever, um, innocently got these dirty t-shirts and then Steve Buscemi having like, anthropy like, he he's convinced he's a werewolf, right? He's just some hairy dude, but he's running around thinking he's a werewolf. I thought that was pretty good. Um, so even a terrible movie, I can at least find something that would be considered a favorite bit. Um, okay. Now, favorite bits of books of blood, which, which might be more exciting. What

Speaker 4:

One last thing, what is the age range? You think this really appeals to? I would say,

Speaker 1:

No, not, well now let's be more specific than that. 13 to 16 year old boys whose balls have not dropped yet. They haven't experienced puberty and they might, they might think that Hubie is just like, just like them, you know? So they'll have Hubert.

Speaker 4:

Wow. Oh no, no.

Speaker 1:

Oh man. They weren't listening up until about 17 minutes and 35 seconds is when they dropped out of this episode.

Speaker 4:

I wanted to say, uh, that the audience was young children, age six to 12, then

Speaker 1:

Cartoon network demographic,

Speaker 4:

Pretty much, there's not an adult swim. If you're an adult swim, you've aged out of this movie, which makes it really weird for them to have sexual anyway,

Speaker 1:

You know what though? They threw away Liotta in there and I feel like that's an adult swim move. Cause this is not a movie that he should be in. I don't know what he's doing there. He's like giving speeches and every single scene he has, it's like, he's delivering a speech. Like he just found the body, you know what I mean? Like that doesn't fit, you know, saying, send them back to Copland, you know?

Speaker 4:

Yeah. I was offended by this movie so early on and I had to keep talking smack about it. Like the first thing, like he's dodging everything being thrown at him and then he'd like shoot out of his mouth. Well,

Speaker 1:

Adam, if you don't put this one to bed, you're going to overpower the other movie.

Speaker 4:

I'm sorry. Let's just okay to bed. Sorry.

Speaker 1:

I, is there an episode of Seinfeld called the long talker? You know how they had an episode called the close talker? Was there ever an episode called the long talker? Anybody's Seinfeld fan can answer this question.

Speaker 6:

I don't really know

Speaker 4:

Time constraints on there.

Speaker 1:

Wow. Um, See, I feel like we're w we're vibing along and then you you're backpedaling Adam, your, your bicycle is going into

Speaker 4:

I'm sorry. I had more trash to talk to my apologies.

Speaker 1:

Oh, wow. Uh, okay. Moving along. Uh, where are we? Um, oh, favorite bits from books of blood, uh, who wants to start? Okay. Nick, why don't you do,

Speaker 5:

Uh, I mean the very, I guess the very ending where, um, the, uh, they, they trick the, uh, the huckster, the, the John Edwards type guy, uh, his ending where the spirits take up, spoiler alert the spirits, uh, get there. Uh, they carve into them become, he becomes the book of blood. I really enjoyed that. I thought that was pretty,

Speaker 6:

You took mine too. I thought that was really great. I thought it was a great idea and I love that love the anthology stuff, you know, me so

Speaker 5:

Well, it was in theology. I was kind of surprised it was in theology. And also like, uh, I don't know the proper name for these types of movies, but like Chris cut movies, or like, you know, the character knows this character somehow, but then they're in different stories. Um, yeah,

Speaker 4:

With time to the order that we saw them in is not the same order that they were shown in the film and in, uh, I guess my favorite part was, uh, when our main bad guy goes into what's up, what's the place Ravenswood. Is that the name of this?

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 4:

I loved that. I, that idea of the neighborhood, everyone knows that the neighborhood is like freaky and like nobody lives there and it's run down and weird things happen at night and that car going down the street to it. And, uh, just the way they set the atmosphere, I thought that was amazing what they did. I just, I just thought, wow, that like really sucked me in. And I wish more of the movie had played like on that idea before we got there. But it's just so neat to see that it was like something out of a nightmare. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Well, the, uh, the guy that slapped this together, Brendan Briga is from like the eighties and nineties, this place like a movie, the, I sent you guys a message on Facebook messenger. And I was talking about how, like, some movies feel like the video rentals that never left the shelves of VHS. Like they only existed on VHS to me. Books of Flores. Yeah. Like that's what this is. This is like a movie of the week or straight to video books of blood feels like it'd be at home. Like with like nineties horror stuff, you know?

Speaker 5:

Well, I noticed it was produced by like touchstone television. So, I mean, we're cut you're right on the money. It is basically a TV movie. I mean, yeah. Like even for Netflix or like for the streaming world, it feels very TBS. And yet I didn't, you know, it kind of felt like trilogy a terrorist or something like of, you know, if anybody remembers those

Speaker 1:

And my favorite bit actually plays into your guys's because I liked the mom. I wrote down that since the satanic mom is hot, the best part is the inappropriate sex, which makes the book of blood dude, you know?

Speaker 6:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Um, okay. W that we arrived at our favorite game. We're like just burning through this one. Um, binge now binge later, binge never. Nick, how are you gonna play this game?

Speaker 6:

I would say books have a binge now. I think, you know my answer for, uh, the Adam Sandler one. Uh, yeah. Don't ever be no, no, never burn burn that there were a VHS. It was so bad. Would he be fly off the shelves? John

Speaker 1:

Blockbuster?

Speaker 6:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, probably

Speaker 6:

Next Jack. I have a question. Let's see, like, he didn't have this Netflix deal. Right. And this was Fiat's trickle. How do you guys think this would be a success or you think people are doing,

Speaker 1:

Oh, no, dude, dude. He had like a three year. He'd have a three-year storm cloud over his head. He'd make this and nothing for three years.

Speaker 6:

This is Netflix. No one like punishing him for it. He's not in like Hollywood jail or anything. It's amazing.

Speaker 5:

I think Netflix came for him at the right time because I think you're right. If this was in the theater, nobody would go see it, but everybody can click that button for free. Cause you already have Netflix

Speaker 6:

And no one gives it. No one gives a crack. Cause it's like, well it was a Netflix movie and disposable entertainment. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Well that's how the model is working. Right. It's it's basically like, you're not just getting one piece of popcorn. You're getting the whole popcorn bucket. Right? So you're banking on here's 10 movies or here's three movies and four shows. So not a single show has to stand on its own or movie for that matter. Right. It's a group of movies. Yeah. Movies. Uh, so who wants to play the game next, Dave?

Speaker 5:

Um, I'm going to say bins now. Books of blood. Um, I'm going to say binge later. Why not another, uh, original movie that dropped the sweet cleansing hour on shutter. It's really fun. Uh, and then, um, Dench, never QB. that movie done. Go away.

Speaker 1:

Uh, Adam, what are your binge now? Binge later and binge never selections.

Speaker 4:

Alright, Benj. Now Hubie Halloween because, because there's nothing more horrifying. You will see this season.

Speaker 1:

Well since, well, since you opened that up, I guess I could, um, bring up this audience comment on Instagram. The other day when I gave my Hubie sucks, review this Instagram follower named judge to Justin, something 89, he said, uh, you know, is Hubie better. Hi, if you get high, do I have to get high to watch it first? He answered his own question later, but first he asked us like, Hey, do I have to get high? You guys wanna weigh in on this? Do you have to get stoned for this movie?

Speaker 5:

Yeah. You probably asked, oh God. Yes, yes you do all the weed. All the weed. You can get. Maybe, maybe you can make it through it. I'm not promising. It's going to be good. I'm just saying it's better.

Speaker 4:

Wow. I feel like you have to be so high that the movie is playing somewhere else and you staring at the wall and then it will be good. And you will have a good time.

Speaker 5:

See, now that you said the wall, all I can think is the movie, the wall where he's literally like zonked out, just looking off into space. Like I think he just watched UBI,

Speaker 4:

Man. Okay. Uh, so obviously that's not exactly what I recommend people to do unless you, if you totally like horror the horror of that show. Um, but I would be bench never, obviously. Um, and I would binge, I would binge books of blood. Now, if you are a fan of Clive Barker and that type of stuff, I felt like it was a lesser, I've only seen Hellraiser one and two. So it's like a, like a lesser hell raiser for me. And I haven't seen any of the follow-ups so I enjoyed it, but it's like, it's moving it's movie of the week. You would want to watch. Would you agree, John,

Speaker 1:

If it's just a movie in a week.

Speaker 4:

Yeah. It was a movie of the week that you'd be like, oh, that's a pretty good movie of the week.

Speaker 1:

Well, if I had rented like four movies and this just happened to be in the mix, I w we hoping that the other three movies are better. I didn't have a lot of fun with books of blood.

Speaker 4:

Now, other three movies. Are they Adam Sandler movies?

Speaker 1:

Not at all Because you typically don't rent comedies with horror movies, unless it's a horror comedy like vamps and it's in its own little sub genre. You don't mix your stack like that. You know, you just don't. Um, let's see. So binge now binge later, binge never. Here's my selections. I would binge now earnest, scared, stupid bins, later books of blood. And I would never binge Hubie Halloween. If I wasn't reviewing it for the podcast. I, well, that's not true. I guess I would have watched it because it took this long for me to give up on Adam Sandler. So I guess I would have watched it anyway, but I'm saying don't watch it. Um, what else were we watching? Let's see. Let's check in Nicky lates. What else are you watching, brother?

Speaker 6:

I checked out a classic 1992 movie called Dr. Giggles that I hadn't seen it.

Speaker 1:

Is he the dentist that kills? Is he the dentist? They kills people. No,

Speaker 6:

The doctor that kills people, it's really scary.

Speaker 1:

Pump them full of laughing gas. No,

Speaker 6:

No, no. He just giggles when he comes in, people are

Speaker 1:

Nervous. I'm thinking that a completely different movie. Yeah,

Speaker 6:

No, it's great. It has Larry, Larry Drake or Larry dirt. You know, the main bad guy from the dark man. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually good. That kills her good. Uh it's well-directed and well edited and shot. I actually had a lot of fun. What rewash?

Speaker 1:

Oh dude. I think I'm literally thinking of the dentist with Corbyn. Yeah, the dentist

Speaker 6:

Dr. Giggles, man. Dr. Giggles. I actually, we know it sucks too that it bombed because I would've loved to have seen like a Dr. Cagle giggles one, two or three or four, you know,

Speaker 1:

I'm sure the rights to purchase those rights. I'm sure it's pretty cheap. You might be able to get the rights and make

Speaker 6:

No resurrection. I guess I have the comic new doctor giggles.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah. Getting typecast as the overweight weirdo.

Speaker 6:

Well, John, do you want work or do you want to eat? Oh, wow. That makes no sense.

Speaker 1:

Nevermind that how I got cast in a leprechaun, I don't

Speaker 6:

Know Parker. I forgot about that one.

Speaker 1:

Let's see.

Speaker 4:

Who's next?

Speaker 1:

Good question. I guess you are at, um, what else do you watch?

Speaker 4:

So I've been watching Adam Sandler movies. Oh, holy No. Yeah. Well hear me out. I've been watching Adam Sandler movies and reverse and watching him really come into his own. So as long as you watch them, the newest one first, and then, you know, progressively move into the past, they get better and better guys. They get, they, they really do. They get better and better.

Speaker 6:

I think you're right. I would just say stop at stop at Airheads because if you go back to going overboard, no, he just is you're back into Hubie territory.

Speaker 4:

Well, I don't know if I consider Airheads other than a Adam Sandler cameo, really? I mean, he's such a smaller role. It's hilarious. But, but I've also, I also turned on shutter and I watched some, like, they got all these old

Speaker 1:

Now I'm going to cut you off. Cause if you're going to turn everything into a joke and then deliver the joke, but then also try to say that you're really watching things. There's no time for that. So if you want to be sarcastic, that'll be your delivery. And then we'll just go to the next person. See what I mean? Like, oh, I'm watching Adam Sandler movies, but then he didn't tell us the Adam Sandler movies. And then you're like, oh, but I really watched this. It doesn't work for me. I really want to know what you're watching. Make you relate.

Speaker 4:

I've listened to all the Adam Sandler movies I've been watching did find out. And I only watch a couple of minutes of whatever I can get my hands on, but I watched a couple in reverse and I have the list in front of me. But, uh,

Speaker 1:

He didn't, he didn't think about this joke too far guys. He didn't, he doesn't have the backup for it. And he's like, oh. So he asked me which movie I watched, which Adam Sandler movies specifically. Wow.

Speaker 4:

Well, I started with UBI, right?

Speaker 1:

Well, we, we confirmed that. You kind of like it actually. You've mentioned it several times.

Speaker 4:

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

Hey Dave, what have you watched?

Speaker 5:

Oh, well, okay. So I truly, me and my wife truly binged something this weekend. We watched the entire season of the haunting of blind manner. Uh, that's really fun, but what I really want to bring attention to real quick is I watched, uh, final destination five again. And I'm sorry, dude. This is my fate. I'm just saying it it's the best final destination movie.

Speaker 1:

Wait, wait, is that the fight? The final destination, is that the re like when they rebooted

Speaker 5:

That's number four, number five is, uh, starts off with the constructs. The bridge. Yes. Oh,

Speaker 1:

Okay. But that's post reboot, right? Because like the first three are, are the con has like continuity between like the first three of the first three have continuity, but the ones later don't

Speaker 5:

No five does actually five ties into number one, five

Speaker 1:

Goes back to number one. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

Well, oh, it's so good, dude. It's actually my favorite mine too, dude. Totally kills on it. Like by this time, I mean, they've always known what these movies are, but like they have so much fun with these. Like there's a, the gymnast scene and I won't say anything more. Just, it murders me. It is so well done.

Speaker 6:

And it took what one did and like all the SQLs and just honed it in and just made it perfect. They really had the formula down. I totally agree with you.

Speaker 5:

And I was kind of bummed because it did the worst of all the movies, because number four was so bad. So everybody skipped number five and it was the best.

Speaker 6:

I mean actually a two's opening is

Speaker 5:

My favorite. I will give you that. Yeah. I can give you that too. Has the best opening five is my overall theme. I actually liked

Speaker 1:

The rollercoaster situation in part three.

Speaker 5:

Hmm. Yeah. That one's really well. They, they always have a solid opening. That's the one thing that was dead. Well,

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're kind of like, um, you know, the Rube Goldberg machine, like elaborate machines to do simple tasks. They're kind of like the Rube Goldberg machines of like horror movies. You know, they set up these elaborate ways to kill people.

Speaker 5:

Well, we say we'd do like a half hour show each week. Like just show somebody up and get killed elaborately. I'm solid. I'd watch it.

Speaker 6:

I'm glad you watched that day. Cause I watched that like six months ago. Totally. It's so good.

Speaker 4:

It was after a thousand ways to die, it could be called one way to die.

Speaker 1:

That's true. Does anybody remember that show a thousand ways to die was on um, no. Oh, spike network. Spike doesn't even exist anymore.

Speaker 5:

No, but they run reruns on Pluto TV and I watch it there once in a while. It's pretty fun.

Speaker 1:

That's kind of entertained. Um,

Speaker 5:

So

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Thanks Dave. Thanks for that. Leading. Uh, I'm in the middle of Halloween for return on Michael Meyer, which is from the original continuity of the original Halloween one, two and four or five six. Um, actually I didn't realize how methodical he is in this movie when he comes back. Like after you think he's burned up, he wakes up from his coma, gets out of the ambulance, gets back to head and field finds out. He has a niece start stocking the niece and her foster family. Then he like disables the town first. He like it, like he, he cuts the power to the town. Then he like, like dissembles the police force. Right. Uh, destroys the Sheriff's ability to, to duke it out with them. And like, I was like, wow, I didn't realize the original Michael Myers man was like, methodical, like, like what they do with the newer ones. He's more like a machine, but like, I didn't realize how systemic his evil was in that movie. I'm like, wow. So I'm getting, um, I'm enjoying going back to it. But I watched that every year, um, which brings me kind of like to our next slide. Yeah. Floor's awesome. Like it introduces his niece. Jamie who's played by, um, Daniel Harris. Who's like now like a scream queen, right? Like he was in a couple of the Halloween movies. Then she's in the remakes with, uh, Rob zombie and she's been in some other horror movies. Um, but that brings me to my next thing is like asking you guys, what about your personal playlist? Like something that you watch every Halloween, like every October season. Are there a couple of movies or shows that you all will always go back to? Um, Nick, what about you, Amanda? Is there something you'll watch it like every year?

Speaker 6:

I love trick or

Speaker 1:

Treat. Oh, okay. With little Sam with a little pumpkin kid.

Speaker 6:

Oh yeah. I just think that it's so good. Another orange theology of course with me, but I just it's so good. And it's the ultimate Halloween movie for sure.

Speaker 1:

But there, um, but they're like, those are really intertwined, right? Like his character goes between the stories.

Speaker 6:

Yeah. There's like the neighbors there's people walking in trick or treating. Yeah. All the characters are totally intertwined and they're cutting back and forth. It's not like, oh, here's your first half an hour segment. Then it's constantly cutting back and forth, which is actually really cool. It makes it, the flow is very nice and nice. And the director, I mean, in the, his style, what is it, Michael? It was the guy who did the new Godzilla.[inaudible] yeah. His style is just great. It's it's amazing. What year did that come out? Thousand nine or 10 don't hold me to it, but somewhere around there.

Speaker 5:

Objection. History. Cause it was supposed to be a theatrical movie and then got pushed off. So like it got dumped on straight to video, but it's still so such a good movie that it's still built the cold audience.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. That's one of the ones that you pass around and like you tell your friends about this title and they pass it on and they tell somebody else, you know, like how south park south park got started. Oh, have you seen the Christmas special? What do you mean Christmas fatal. What are you talking about? And then like the video gets passed around and then, you know, it's a show that goes on and on and on. Yeah. Um, Dave, what about you? You got a couple of things you're going to watch this year.

Speaker 5:

Um, yeah, there's quite a few things I watch. Um, but I'll try to be brief. Um, movie one that we don't talk about often. I don't know if we've ever talked about it, but I really love the gate. I don't know if anybody's seen that. Um, it's, it's scared the out of me as a kid. It's like basically kids versus demons and it's got a very, very young Steve endorphin it. Um, it's if you like the monster squad or if you like Goonies, like that kind of thing, the gate is a little creepier and it's a fun movie. I watch that every year

Speaker 6:

Too. And has some great stop motion. Yeah,

Speaker 5:

It does. Well, there's a scene where like, they, they are, they're calling their parents who they think their parents calling them on their phone and this phone melts and it's like screaming at them. And that scared the out of me as a kid.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Basically like the kid and his sister, they opened a portal to hell in their backyard. And then they duke it out with these little gremlin, uh, goblin demons or whatever that are like two feet tall until they merge something, emerged into like a giant demon at the end or something

Speaker 5:

At the very end he's got to build it. And then he's got a, I, I, in his hand also freaked me out as a kid. Oh,

Speaker 1:

Was that not? That was eighties or nineties, eighties or nineties.

Speaker 5:

So

Speaker 6:

I

Speaker 1:

Was going to say, you could always count on like the eighties movies to have a boss fight. Like every horror movie you had, like, uh, you would get, you have to have a boss fight, you know, like the monsters mutated into like super monsters and then you had to have a final fight

Speaker 6:

And it was usually the, the big monster or something.

Speaker 1:

Um, Adam, is there anything that you watch every year during like the Halloween scary season?

Speaker 4:

I don't really have any solid ritual when it comes to watching this sort of stuff, but um, I mean, it'd probably be the peanuts.

Speaker 1:

Oh, the great pumpkin. That's a good movie.

Speaker 4:

There's nothing to be embarrassed. That's

Speaker 1:

Cool. Um, we also brought up, well, we know family, family stuff is good. Like, uh, like that's why I brought up Ernest earlier as the binge now selection, because he'll be Halloween is obviously trying to hit like the family demographic, right? Like the family Halloween market. But you could go to little monsters. You could go to monster squad. What? You know, there's some other things out there. You could little monster

Speaker 5:

ParaNorman if you have little, little kids that want cartoons. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

There was that one where the house is. What's that movie where the house is really the dead lady, but the chief possessed.

Speaker 4:

There you go. Yeah. We had a professor that worked on that movie.

Speaker 1:

Does he work on other movies now?

Speaker 4:

I'm sure he does. That's cool.

Speaker 1:

That's random, random shout out. Well, yeah, what's his name?

Speaker 4:

I said I was trying to remember his name. What?

Speaker 1:

I didn't hear. You

Speaker 4:

Have to watch the credits.

Speaker 1:

Well, Adam professor, if you're out there listening, shout out to you, brother, keep making movies so random. It was like a random bring up like, okay, what do we do with that information professor? You did a great job. That movie is entertaining.

Speaker 4:

Credit was professor in the movie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Oh man. Uh, oh, we don't have any, I don't know. Next week we're going to be like, I'm talking more scary stuff. We're going to do like the night of the demons retrospective. So I've seen that of the demons. Yeah. It's next week. Yeah. So I've seen out of the demons, maybe a handful of times I've seen the, all of them. Actually I've seen 1, 2, 3, which is three, is like impossible to find. And uh, and, and then there's the remake, which is the only thing that the remake has going for. It is it's got, um, the kid from Terminator to Eddie Furlong is one of the guys, one of the main characters in the remake. But other than that, there's literally no reason to watch the remake. And it kind of ruins the original movie. It's one of those remakes that you go, if you'd watch the remake first, you would never go see the original

Speaker 5:

As cameos. And, and it's just, they waste, I hate it after Grenache with, uh, actually that is one of my Halloween favorites, but I didn't mention it cause we're going to talk about it next week. Okay.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah. None of the demons will. It's kind of like basically somebody decided to take like a, like the breakfast club and the Exorcist, and then you get nine of the demons. It's basically a high school Halloween party and somebody gets possessed. And then, you know, it happens at a haunted, famous haunted house. Like you were talking about how you love the Raven more situation and books of blood, will they have Hillhouse or whatever in night of the demons, which is like this notoriously haunted house, you know, that everybody's afraid to go to and terrible things happen there. Um, and I think they literally borrow like Pazuzu demon. I think an Exorcist is like supposed to an African folk Lord dug up somewhere in Egypt or something, but I'm pretty sure none of the demons has like a mythological demon in it as well from like some wild place. Um, it's weird looking like they cut to it every once in a while in the movie and it looks pretty zany. So anyway, yes, they do the exact literally say to you. Yeah,

Speaker 5:

Yeah. Binge now in anticipation of next week. So,

Speaker 1:

And if this is the first time you listened to us, congratulations. This was an exciting episode. If you've been with us for 300 episodes, congratulations. You're one of our longest listeners. And if you turn this off at minute 16, we'll go yourself.

Speaker 5:

Well, they can't hear that now because they've already turned off at minute

Speaker 1:

16. You're right. It's passive aggressive, Dave, I don't know what else to tell you.
