Show Notes Transcript

Johnny Spoiler teases Nicky Lates about being so late he missed recording last week’s episode and then the Binge-Watchers crew gets Nicky’s opinion on Killer Joe.

Nicky gets to weigh on whether or not he agrees with Dangerous Dave about Killer Joe being a comedy, or if he believes it is a drama.

Home Video Headlines:

  • Classic The Muppet Show is labeled offensive by Disney Plus
  • Edgar Wright is remaking The Running Man
  • Daft Punk breaks up
  • Gremlins gets a mini-sequel in a funny Mountain Dew commercial
  • Big Hero 6 with Baymax might join the Marvel MCU live action

Tonight’s movie is The Ninth Configuration. A bunch of veterans with varying degrees of psychosis are locked away in a castle for treatment and their new doctor might have serious issues as well. Starring Stacy Keach and Scott Wilson.

We connected with fans on Stereo and we recap sending out prizes during our Box Office Brunch.

Two reasons to watch tonight’s movie? Well, one of us thinks you should watch Exorcist III first, and this movie becomes a BINGE NEVER for one of us, but we do argue that you could watch it for:

  • The radical treatment concept of using a psychotic break to treat a psychotic break
  • The biker gang massacre

Speaker 1:

In the movie because I didn't really watch the show a lot. So I'm behind. I figured with his, his little deputy or whatever, stick in the back, you have to be forgiven because you're actually here tonight. Uh, dude, by the way. Oh my gosh. That was amazing. Hearing you guys talk crap about me. I loved it. I felt like I was more, I felt like it was more a part of the show, not being on the show. I'm like, I need to like escape every once in a while. I'm just saying it was kinda cool. It could be like a marketing employee for like a season finale. Like Nick disappears. Yeah. I have like the old organ music will Nick show up next season. The only significant time Nick missed was for like a medical reason,

Speaker 2:

Open a cold box of wine. Oh, pour something cold on iceberg. Eats the binge watches.[inaudible]

Speaker 1:

And we're going to have to go into detail. It's like, yeah, I was gone for like five, six months and I thought he was like the prom date brush off. But it actually, I had a full on blood clot. Like it was crazy. I have pictures from the hospital. I almost died. Yeah. And I was legit. You have a blood clot in 2014 when I left the show, she was like, Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah. So Dave and I were in the Bermuda triangle of podcasting at that time with no life preserver. And Nick was just like, was just, he's just like, I'm just like, dude, I can't do it. I'm about to die. He's got better. You're just coming in the show because the show just started folks in you're in the middle of a conversation about, uh, Nick getting sick. But before that, listening to an amazing episode of a podcast, what he's referring to is last week, we were covered this movie called killer Joe, which I think is a drama, but Dave would argue it's a comedy. Oh, I didn't find it cute. According to[inaudible] somebody pointed out to him that it was a comedy Dave watches killer gel and laughs his off. Right? Hi Dave. Yeah. Especially laugh. I'm laughing from the opening scene. He said his family is like this, like in the episode, he's like, this is my family. It's not the murders. I grew up a hot dog and thinking about my family when I watch killer Joe, maybe I wrote this, this was my stolen script. But uh, but so anyways, so Nikki lates picks this movie for our lineup and he bills. And so then Dave and Adam and I talk about it and it was actually a really great podcast. It was a great, yeah. And you guys talked about me more than I would actually talk in the episode. So that was actually really cool. I felt like it was the party

Speaker 3:

And then something else crazy happened. We did this amazing episode that you missed out on. And then like a hacker took down a major podcast server that affected thousands, if not millions of podcasts across the internet. And like, uh, you know, was tweeting the company about like, yeah, pay me or, you know, I'm taking these pockets. I find forever like, Oh. You know, that was like a day and a half. It was a roller coaster ride. And it was the day we released the killer Joe episode and I'm like, Oh man, is anybody going to get to enjoy the killer Joe jokes?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Um, so tonight we're brought to you by actually a few different sponsors tonight. I want to first tell you about a couple things were brought to you by stars and uni dragon and the stereo app. But first let me tell you about uni dragon. They're actually one of the best wooden jigsaw puzzles on the market. They have colorful and colorful, colorful, sorry, Komfo and beautiful wooden puzzles. They're premium sets of these wooden puzzles. They're exclusive and they'll fascinate you. And you're going to fall in love at the first touch. It's kind of like including the magic of assembling puzzles to be company with the notes of a Woody fragrance, you get the parts that are extraordinary. Beautiful. And they're all cut out for you. It's a sophisticated puzzle that represents different shapes. It's kind of like holding a small miracle on your hands. That build up to a great miracle or another way to say that is it's a small wonder. That becomes a big wonder. It's also made at an eco-friendly ingredients. So if you're worried that we're destroying paper and trees, it's actually natural paper, Birchwood, harmless, and nontoxic glue. They're one of our sponsors, but they're actually quite mesmerizing and intricate. I actually ordered something called the serious Panda. That's the puzzle that I just picked up. It looks actually pretty joyful and optimistic and they made a coupon for our subscribers. You can use coupon code to dragon binge for a 10% discount. And actually that runs until June. So go to uni, dragon.com, enter the coupon code dragon band for 10% off. You can pick up this really funny, silly, beautiful puzzle that I picked up called still serious Panda, but they have lots of lots of animals. Like there was an incredible Wolf. There was a Fox. I saw all kinds of things, but for some reason I was really attracted to how optimistic the Panda looks. So that's the one I picked up for myself. I'm also brought to you by stars right now. They're actually continuing their limited time. Promo is extended. It's their best offer of the year from today until the end of the month, they're going to run the six months for$5 a month. It's actually 44% off their six month deal. And there's no commitment after that. You can stay on board or you can just go for the trial run. What's funny is this is coming in a little bit late. They want to celebrate the season of love with their all time favorites on stars like Titanic, a walk in the clouds, Shakespeare in love and the notebook. What a very timely, if they had released deal like before Valentine's day, this is like one, whatever we love these stars, you've got great movies. You can almost sit down and watch the notebook. And maybe it'll, uh, it'd be like rinsing your mouth out from tonight's movie. Cause we're going deep. We're going deep into the bowels of madness here. Cause we decided like, you know, Maurice man, this is like some basketball game. You know, college is like a big deal to sports fans, but we're like shouldn't the month be really about madness. Like let's talk about popular psycho movies or popular movies about insanity or something. And let's see what we can dig up. And then the ninth configuration popped up on freaking shutter, which if you're a shutter fan, check it out. If not, if you want to try shutter for free. We also, I hear on the streets that our promo code still works. So you can, you can try that as well. Um, now let's get into, what do I think, what do I think this text will be about the ninth configuration? Uh, let's tell us what it's about John soldiers that are now very theatrical maniacs living inside of a Scottish castle, somewhere in the middle of Highlands, California. Uh, there's a fake psychiatrist. He's trying to treat an astronaut and the real psychiatrist thinks that this will help the fake psychiatrist get over the traumatic experience of being a, a special forces operative, you know, in the, I think it's the Vietnam war. Yeah. So yeah. I like how you're working in a major spoiler into your pitch. Nothing it's like the biggest, biggest spoiler ever continue. It doesn't feel like a spoiler because the tone and tempo of the movie tells you a lot, right? From the very beginning. So listen to Johnny spoiler, everybody. I will say, if you want me to suppose something, I suppose the technique of the movie, they did a lot of ADR film must have been expensive when they shot this or they were buying an expensive film because they had big lenses. They had a lot of exterior shots and they, they recorded a lot of ADR to tell you what was going on. Um, the cast of characters is great. Uh, Dave can tell you about who, who fills out the cast, but also maybe Dave has some trivia. He dug up some things about the story, what he got for his Dave.

Speaker 4:

Well, I mean, this is a, the directorial debut of William Peter Blatty who wrote the Exorcist. Um, I think pretty much any work he got from, uh, from this point on was because of the Exorcist. Um, he really only directed one movie after this, which was the extra, says three. So, uh, he has three directing credits, but which is amazing by the way, which it is pretty incredible, but he essentially only directed two movies. Uh, one, I will say one interesting thing I found out about this is it was actually co it was partially financed by Pepsi company. Like yes, that perhaps he, because they had some excess money that could only be used in Hungary. So they wanted to finance a film, but their stipulation was, is they had to film it in Budapest, but B uh, William, Peter Blatty want to have Pepsi company, uh, like advertisement throughout it. So they came to like a concession of you film it in a Hungary. And there's one scene where there's like a Pepsi machine in the background and that's it.

Speaker 1:

So

Speaker 3:

I thought he thought it was out there in the boonies. It wasn't in the United States, no

Speaker 1:

Hungry or Budapest.

Speaker 3:

It was real. So maybe they actually had access to her. So that's how it might've been like. Yeah. Um, uh, though, can I put a disclaimer on it with like the mental illness portrayed as this movie? Isn't really mentally ill. It's mostly at the ethical stage, played from like 1950s actors, 1970s actors, like, uh, um, it's pretty, a lot of it's pretty comical and cartoonish. I don't think anybody's really displayed with like real problems except for maybe, uh, the guy playing the astronaut and the guy playing. That's a fortunate guy that, well, it Stacy Keach. I mean, he's like the main dude besides, uh, what's the other guy's name?

Speaker 1:

Uh, well,[inaudible], who's the guy from walking dead, Scott Wilson, but as characters cut Shaw. I remember

Speaker 4:

That because I thought it was such a cool movie.

Speaker 3:

Watch. You don't know the character's names. You just know the accurate Stacy keys. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

God, if it wasn't so depressing, you'd be like a buddy film centered around their characters,

Speaker 1:

Smoothies. Really interesting.

Speaker 3:

All right. Let's jump over to some headlines and then we'll go really deep into this movie, um, on the world of, uh, TVs and movies, something I heard was just breaking right before we, uh, we got onto this podcast. So who knows if you guys know what I'm talking about, we'll find out and Nikki lates, what's going on out there in the world with TV and movies.

Speaker 1:

Uh, so the Muppet episodes are, uh, receiving offensive content disclaimers from Disney plus, what do you guys think about that? I,

Speaker 4:

I don't see this as a big deal and I'll tell you why. It's not, because this is not a new concept. This is actually a very old concept. I think I've said it here before I own DVDs from like 15, 20 years ago. Like Tom and Jerry are old Disney cartoons, but in putting these types of disclaimers on them for years, it's just now because it's streaming, it's a little more well known

Speaker 1:

Actually. Did they do that on the DVDs? I actually didn't know that. Okay.

Speaker 4:

Know about, of the Muppet show, but I have other DVDs of like telling them

Speaker 3:

They used to put it on the VHS boxes and the DVD, like the actual boxes. If you read that little thing, but I will say this Nick to add onto it. It's like right in your face. Right. So

Speaker 4:

Add onto Nick though. Um, I think the bigger thing in that story is, is not the disclaimer that comes, but like, isn't there like two episodes that were completely taken off because they were,

Speaker 1:

It was like a Don Rickles episode or something like Brookfield or Brooke shields. Yeah. There was something that was totally taken off. Yeah.

Speaker 4:

So like, see that, see the disclaimer doesn't bother me, but like not making something accessible is what bothers me.

Speaker 3:

Hey, is that called censorship brother? Because I watched,

Speaker 1:

I watched Disney plus with my kids and there's always like, when I press that play button, there's like, Oh, there's smoking or there's this or that. You know? So

Speaker 3:

Yeah. Have you guys seen the realistic gremlins toy that comes with a toy cigarette and a beer can,

Speaker 1:

But I want to know[inaudible], I'll take it. How come they never,

Speaker 4:

How come they never made a toy of ITI when he's got like the beer?

Speaker 3:

Not just a six pack. It should be, he should be beating Elliot. It should be like a Funko pop, whereas arms outstretched. And he's just smacking the kid across the face.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you, what do you think about a model?

Speaker 3:

Bloodshot eyes? What, why with a crack pipe? Oh, man, it got really dark.

Speaker 1:

[inaudible] the fourth rule when they don't get it.

Speaker 3:

Uh, the secret of the modern ways cartoon were real. Is that the, uh, gizmos hitting the crack pipe? Yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's the fourth rule that we'd never heard about. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Keep them away from crack. Well, I didn't know. It was gizmo too. I thought it was like his cousin.

Speaker 1:

It's all of them, bro. The

Speaker 3:

One that almost got his cousin FISMA is his cousin FISMA. You know, the one that used to work at the, you know, the Chinese restaurant. Yeah. Banker cousin Venmo.

Speaker 1:

But I'm from, well,

Speaker 3:

There actually was. Did you guys see the supergroup commercial about the gremlins?

Speaker 1:

I didn't know, but I heard about it. I know that

Speaker 3:

I freaked out because he's going to grow gremlins and there's, you know, the member of the googly-eyed one from the part too. Oh, hell yeah. Like googly eyes sitting on a girl's shoulder and she just rolls her eyes because she's supposed to be the daughter of the original, uh, you know, exact Galvin, whatever character. I don't wanna say Galvin Atkins, but I mean the other guy Gallagher from the moon.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I can talk about Gallagher.

Speaker 3:

Um, so you got news besides the crack smoking cartoon cartridges too.

Speaker 4:

Um, so Edgar Wright, who's

Speaker 1:

Directed a, you know, Shaun of the dead hot fuzz

Speaker 4:

Is, um, going to direct a remake of the running man. I'm going to base it more on the book. I have mixed feelings about this because

Speaker 1:

On one hand, it's going to make

Speaker 4:

A good movie. On the other hand, I want him to do something original, not a property like that. Like make your own movies, you know? Um, but having said that, if he's going to make that movie, it's going to be fricking awesome.

Speaker 1:

I completely agree with you. I'm like baby driver was fricking awesome. And that was the name of the movie, right? Maybe. Yeah. And I'm just like, I love his style. I I'm excited to see what he brings to it. You know, I wish

Speaker 3:

Somebody with money would come along and like just kinda like, you know, George Lucas thought that his graphics sucked and he kept remaking star Wars over and over and over again. And like, perfect. So similar to that, but like just somebody go like, okay, this is a really good movie. Like let's go back and improve the special effects. Let's bring in a new makeup team because the special effects on the original running man, and also the original total recall there they're like way dated, not even like fun, dated, not even like fun, practical effects data that you still enjoy. Right. That look realistic. They're like really recently, I think all day long, I disagree. Total recall is pretty awesome with the eyeballs. I'm sorry.[inaudible] the fact that I'm talking about certain special effects shots as a, I'm not talking about the story or the content I'm talking about like a few special effects shots. Another example would be you guys probably aren't transformers, cartoon fans, the beast scores, cartoon that came out in the nineties with early CGI it's unwatchable on an HD television because it's standard Def right. Compressed down to a square to air on Saturday morning or whatever, or, or weekday afternoons after school. Right. So, um, it looks really bad. What do they ever had? And that whole, that whole series. So what I miss that

Speaker 5:

Talking about like SD or, you know, standard definition watching on a new TV, like when we watch our Thundercats,

Speaker 3:

Which is still doing that, by the way, I guess to watch the animated version, Dave wants to watch, it's not a video, Nick doesn't understand what's happening. I don't understand. I can't read. I want to chime in on the running man thing.

Speaker 5:

This will, if they do it, anything like Stephen King's original. Uh, I believe it was a Bachman book under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman. And uh, if they do it like Stephen King wrote it, then it's going to be a completely different movie. So it's not going to be a remake of the first running man. It's going to be like a make of the running man story as it's written on paper. So fair enough.

Speaker 3:

Well, he'll inject a lot of energy into it. I mean, his style is, I mean,

Speaker 5:

I mean, they made it into like a fixed place, like game show area where Arnie was just going head to head against all these baddies and like this place it's set up for it. Like demolition Derby, like arena type thing, maze. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Things I wanted to bring up and what I'm enticing to Nick. So I probably should have said it earlier, but I will bring it on dude. Bring it up with the crack head cartoon then. And that's a joke by the way, people they're going to take that clip of me just saying smack the kid, right? Add context. Um, Disney also is gonna introduce, they made a cartoon called Baymax with these kids superheroes. They're going to roll them into action into the Marvel universe.

Speaker 1:

I don't even know what they are like that thing they did. They max. Wasn't that the character from big hero six? Yeah,

Speaker 3:

The hero six. Yeah. They're going to roll them into a,

Speaker 1:

Never seen that. I'm catching on catching up on Disney movies with my kids. I know that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah. Your son will definitely,

Speaker 1:

We're watching a wreck it Ralph. And that was really freaking good. Actually. I liked that so far. It was really cool. I actually really, the second one's good too. There's a part two. I actually didn't know.

Speaker 3:

That's not a spoiler.

Speaker 1:

Oh, rad. Okay, cool. I give John another minute. He'll spoil it for you.

Speaker 3:

The title is a spoiler. It's called Ralph Bright.

Speaker 1:

I just told you he broke the internet. Besides Disney lessons will be learned in friendships will be bonded. That's everything except for

Speaker 3:

The crack pipe gremlins.

Speaker 1:

Can't wait. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And the other thing, this is the one that I thought you guys would all know about. Um, daft punk broke up.

Speaker 1:

They get a virus. And the other one,

Speaker 3:

What I've learned here tonight is I'm the only gremlins fan I'm am

Speaker 1:

[inaudible]

Speaker 3:

Con's fan. I love grumblings.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's not that big a deal. You guys are all a total recall freaks.

Speaker 1:

Alright guys, let's just talk at the same time.

Speaker 3:

Um, actually this stereo cut is so good that when you hear it later, you'll be able to hear everything that we say all at the same time. Anyway,

Speaker 1:

We need it. We need to like, um, master our shows for like 5.1. So we can be in

Speaker 3:

According to the ads, it says, John goes right into the ads. When we write back on these messages with Dave, let's do it. All right. We're breaking the fourth wall. That's how it goes,

Speaker 1:

Dave. But when I do it, I can catch so much.

Speaker 3:

Cause you're a sarcastic. You wanted to change your nickname on the show and be like Mr. Sarcasm, where I was looking at other words, that means sarcasm to try to save it

Speaker 1:

Irony. Mr. Irony though.

Speaker 3:

Uh, we'll. We'll circle back to that. All right, right after these messages,

Speaker 1:

Can't wait.

Speaker 3:

All right. So we'd love for you to join us live and join into some live conversations about riveting movie debates, you know, last week, or we featured a, uh, behind the scenes chat with the podcast is from binge Watchers on the stereo app where you can talk to us directly. And that's the only place to find our bonus content. It's only available on the stereo app. You can join us live. You can just tune in, or you can be part of the conversation. You can join us as a co-host actually. And the next thing we're going to do is we're going to try this movie mashup, where we, uh, put the plot of two movies together. You guess, which two movies talking about? You have a chance to win prizes and ask your favorite show host. That could be AA, even though he's very sarcastic. Could we Nicky late to agree with everyone? Or it could be Dave, who's so dangerous. He's out of control. You can talk to all four of them on the stereo app, including myself, Johnny spoiler, maybe I'll spoil a movie or two. I don't really know. Would you be able to join us live? And you can mention the moments from the show that you enjoyed or catch up on the latest or put the movie mash game. And actually we were just on stereo. So I wanted to ask my boy dangerous. Dave, what his experience was like with the fans.

Speaker 4:

Actually, I had a really good time. We did a box office brunch, uh, recently. Um, we had, uh, we had, uh, somebody who came in and interacted with us a lot. It was really fun. Um, he actually won a Blu-ray because of that. So, you know, that's something that can happen too. If you join in with us for our after parties or box office, brunches, whatever we call it for the day. Um, I don't know. It was really fun. And like, like a guy on there actually convinced us to go back and revisit ocean's 12, which is a movie that dismissed long ago. So like that's the kind of stuff that you can do convince us to watch a movie. You think nobody else will like, or you think, yeah, do it. Come on.

Speaker 3:

So join us on stereo, visit our official profile, which is mine. Cause I'm, I'm just that cool. I like transformers and I like gremlins. And I'm the only one who apparently likes daft punk. But if you hate that punk, tell me if you love them. Tell me if you like gremlins. Tell me if you don't like them. Tell me we're all there on stereo. You can join us and stereo.com port slash my name, which is Johnny spoiler, stereo.com forward slash Johnny spoiler. Now let's ask, well, no, I'm not going to ask him. I want to include him. Um, so anyway, it's the live conversation app. We're on stereo.com. We'll be talking all night long about movies and we're going to match plots together at our next bonus content round that we're going to play this little game and our listeners can win prizes or actually join the show and be coasts with us for a moment. It's pretty exciting. It's really fun. We're having a lot of fun on there. It's very addictive though. I could stay on stereo.com all day and never actually get to podcasting because I just flipped their conversations and enjoyed it. And they're talking about soda pop of all things, and I'm a real soda jerk in real life. So I tuned in for that. Joining us on the stereo app, by going to stereo.com forward slash Johnny spoiler and now on with the show already in progress. Let's see what these guys think of this stereo app. And also see if they enjoyed me talking. Why? Uh, muted their microphones. So let's see what, how much staff to take for this one? Hey boys, welcome back to the show.

Speaker 4:

Oh my gosh. Frustrating. Trying get my quips in and

Speaker 5:

Realizing I've been muted. It's like being

Speaker 3:

Played around on stereo. What'd you think?

Speaker 5:

I really liked the app. I, I was tempted to go longer. Um, it's fun. It's fun.

Speaker 3:

Another hour after I left the brunch, I think we talked for us according to the app where it shows us the shows. I think we talked like another 40 minutes.

Speaker 1:

My favorite part was when, uh, Adam was talking to some guy, where was he from? Like Iran or something?

Speaker 5:

He was from Iraq, Iraq, Iran.

Speaker 1:

They do like Adam was like in a full conversation with this guy. I was fascinated. It, it was awesome. Can I explain to you how that happened?

Speaker 3:

No idea how it happened. If your call drops with somebody, it pairs you automatically with another random profile.

Speaker 1:

I think this guy where to talk and it was like really cool. I actually really liked it. I was like fascinated by it. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

Wow. Yeah. It was like, I mean, I liked the guy. I just, I was trying to get something productive, done and learn the app. Meanwhile, I'm like in a conversation with someone and you know, and I was like, I needed to get back to listening to you guys, but then I'm like talking and I don't want to be rude and like, be like, Hey guys, peace,

Speaker 1:

You were really sweet. And I thought the conversation was actually kind of genuine and cool. I actually really liked it. I'm just saying, well, I mean, I thought it was neat.

Speaker 3:

Nice. Nick ties everything together and makes everybody fuzzy,

Speaker 1:

Warm and fuzzy man. That's what I did when I left the show. You guys got real and then I bring it back. Yeah,

Speaker 5:

No, look, the thing is like, if you love people, it's going to come through. I mean, you got a job to do. I did. I mean, I know some people. What do you say that I'm a misanthrope?

Speaker 3:

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5:

Let's see if it applies to you. What's the definition. It's going to take me a second here. I got a little dictionary.

Speaker 1:

Yes,

Speaker 5:

No, no, no. I disappeared. I had it.

Speaker 3:

The internet, everything disappears eventually, even though we say it lasts forever. Okay. Um, so let's go to favorite bits from tonight's movie and let's go binge now binge later bench never. Let's see if we can think of other crazy movies or other movies that we'd rather watch besides the night configuration. A lot of people for years told me to go watch this movie, including like fans that pop up and tell us what movies to review. It's on one of their lists. And I went in and watched it. And in a couple minutes, I guess you'll know what my experience was like the first we're to go to Nikki late just to put them on the spot.

Speaker 1:

I think this movie is beautiful, boring, fun. There's a bunch of words in there. Beautiful, boring, fun, unique, weird. And I love Shakespeare with a, and that's my experience with this. Um, do I do binge now vigil later or we're doing that right now first off or no,

Speaker 3:

It's kind of like, I th I've taken away first impressions. Those are gone because people misunderstood what they were about. You have to tell me your favorite bit from the movie or you can just play the binge. Now binge later.

Speaker 1:

My favorite, my favorite bit from the movie is the guy from excersice. Uh, we honored the priest from the Exorcist and he's doing Shakespeare with a dog. I love that. It's my asset. You're not the actual priest, right? The actor. I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying? But the actual priest is, yeah, I don't know. But, um, I would say, uh, binge now exercise three binge later this and then binge never exercise too. That's fair. That's how you're you're right. You're right. Yeah. Um, so,

Speaker 4:

Um, I, I, you know, like Nick, I think I got, I think me and Nick are on the same point. I, I thought this movie was a bit long, over long and a little boring

Speaker 1:

Get to the point where like we're like in bed with each other. Sometimes it's amazing. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Uh, but I will say, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't, your penis is it's called, but that doesn't

Speaker 4:

Mean there wasn't, there wasn't some good bits. I mean like

Speaker 1:

Nick,

Speaker 4:

Actually I wrote, I had to write it down because a line, a line particularly stuck out to me from the, uh, the astronaut cut Shaw, uh, what he's he just comes in and all of a sudden says, this man treats crocodiles for acne. And it just took me off guard.

Speaker 1:

Um,

Speaker 4:

So this has some quotable lines. I mean, there's that,

Speaker 1:

Um, but overall, uh, bins now the original Exorcist binge later is three bins. Never. I hate to say it this.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but you guys are kind of jumping the shark, all possession movies are really psychopath movies.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

But again, if I'm just going to come, if I'm comparing William, Peter Blatty. Okay. So my theme is William Peter Blatty. And I still stick by that.

Speaker 1:

I agree with Dave, like that's why like last week on the podcast, like Dave needed me last week.

Speaker 3:

Yeah. This is a well-made movie. It just, it just takes forever to get to the point. Um, and

Speaker 4:

In the middle is just not fascinating to me. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:

Wow. Totally agree with you. Totally agree. Oh my gosh. So Adam, what did John and I can sense are already like, you're, you're not wrong that there are pacing issues in the film, however, and all that

Speaker 5:

Like boring stuff or not a lot of stuff's happening some of the best content and lines. Like, I mean, the, the movie was constantly intellectually stimulating with all like the, the double entendres and innuendos and jokes and, and just the wacky stuff they were saying and doing. It was very interesting. It was like they had a massive canvas to try to paint all these wacky characters. So there's a bunch of scenes showing you what it's like to be in there that are all, you know, serving to fill in the world so that the world itself is interesting so that when we actually get to things happening, according you guys, cause you just want to see like heads explode or something.

Speaker 1:

I want a story. I want something to latch onto. Right? Well, there was a story.

Speaker 5:

I was like, you know what John described as like vaudevillian madness, but you know, there's some madness that manifests in those ways. I, I watched, uh, some documentary footage from Frank Capra who was showing, um, people that had been, uh, destroyed in war and how they had gone crazy. And uh, if you compare real crazy to these guys, crazy, these guys seem to be like having a lot of fun and trying to be entertaining, which is like, what you have to do.

Speaker 3:

I don't know how to play crazy. That's what it is. They don't have the problems they don't, and they don't have a clearly a reference for it. That's why it looks like they concentrated on the main characters, having a type of psychosis. That might be real. But the rest are just, as you said, part of the picture of the bag.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. Well, I thought some of the picture was like things that crazy people do do those things, but they seem more like troublemakers or cut ups and then actually mentally ill. So they still have, go ahead. Sorry, go ahead. Go ahead.

Speaker 1:

All I was going to say is like, this is clearly not like they're not trying for one flew over the Cuckoo's nest with this movie and that's definitely not. Yeah,

Speaker 3:

Yeah. They're not trying, which is good. They knock that they can't compete with it anyway, but they're not trying to make that movie, this a different movie. I enjoy seeing Stacy creeks lose his and go all Rambo.

Speaker 1:

I agree. I agree.

Speaker 3:

So I have two reasons why you should watch it. You can call that bar sins, incredible. The triggering scene with the bikers and then his idea, his idea, the radical concept of use a psychotic break to bring you back from a psychotic break. Like that's a radical concept. Like you had a psychotic break, we're going to do something as equally polarizing to get you back to the middle, which is where you, who you are when you're normal. Like that concept up is kind of thrilling to me. Um, but also really intense. And, but that's like, w like Adam says, there's a lot of fodder stuff you want before you get to like the movie. So, right. But I mean, again, this is from a time where people had like greater attention spans. They accepted things a little different.

Speaker 4:

What about attention span? It's about Adam already said it's pacing. It has nothing to do. Like, this is the era that had the godfather movies,

Speaker 3:

But that's the pacing, the audience accepted at that time. They were cool with that, because even gear Hunter is like that. Okay. But this movie

Speaker 1:

Is, this move is not the, I agree. I agree. Cause your 130 minutes cut off the beginning.

Speaker 4:

Sorry. You know, here's the thing, I'm a defender. I watched the deer Hunter recently and I'm a defender of that first hour. Like that really drives home. Everything that's going to happen.

Speaker 3:

I'm not like comparing it to that movie. I'm just saying the pacing. Like there's a lot of movies from this era that are the same way, you know?

Speaker 1:

But I don't think this direct. I don't, I don't, I just feel like

Speaker 4:

I, it screams of a first time director, screams of somebody not,

Speaker 1:

Oh, you guys are just,[inaudible]

Speaker 3:

The last 30 minutes of this little friendship circle here and let's see what else, if you want to get our next segment started, do you want to tell us what else you watch this week?

Speaker 1:

W we started or I thought we were still talking about the movie. Okay. Where are we now? We're talking about,

Speaker 3:

What else should we be watching this week?

Speaker 1:

Oh, I watched, uh, there's a new season of 60 days in. Have you guys watched this show? Ever a prison show? Yeah. Oh, it's fascinating. You, you never heard about this. I have not. Okay. So it's a reality show where people go into prison.

Speaker 3:

I didn't buy that day. And it's like, you guys set this up before the show.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I mean, David, it sounds like you guys are first-time director, Dave and I are like always on board with each other things. Stop touching me right now. I know it's scary. But my point is like, okay. So there's like these guys that go into prison and they have 60 days to just infiltrate the system and figure out what's going wrong. And reality camera shows film. And it, it is an amazing show. And I love it. And I just read it,

Speaker 3:

Corrupt you for a second. I didn't realize there was a private message from AA at nine 30 saying.

Speaker 1:

I don't even know what it was because you had muted my mic and you're in your, I thought it was about my 60 days step.

Speaker 3:

No, no, this is from earlier, but I just wrote it on the screen. It was it's in my corner of my screen. And like, what is he talking about?

Speaker 1:

Hey, Dave, what did you watch? I know, but I just think we're done. No, no, no, no, no, no one, no one, no one gets to talk in my 60 days. I'm just saying like, you guys jump ahead. No, it's not fair. I'm looking at the time. I just Crow all the time. Okay. Gotcha. All right. Um, all right. Your time go to stereo.

Speaker 4:

So, uh, I'm going to go against what I told John the other day. And I'm going to pitch you a movie that is kind of hard to pitch, but it's called the untold story. It's on shutter and it is a Chinese movie about a serial killer who hires people off the streets.

Speaker 1:

Okay. I'll be quick.

Speaker 3:

No, if we were doing points, you would just have one them right now. Oh, all right.

Speaker 4:

Well, cool. I'll take the point. Um, why? I'll just say, why should you watch it? Um, this is a, one of the goriest and most things,

Speaker 3:

Nick, you can't get a point cause I don't want to go to prison. So I don't want to, I don't want to watch shows about

Speaker 1:

Prison to prison, prison. That's a good title for a movie

Speaker 4:

Real quick. Why should you watch it? Um,

Speaker 1:

Let's go to prison in the movie. It is welfare. Another dad has lots in front. So go to prisons. Different films. I'll make wine in the Turlock. That's what I remember from that movie. Oh my gosh. Oh wow. I don't remember the name. I don't even know what you're talking about, but um, so

Speaker 4:

What's the untold story. If you want to watch really realistic Gore and be very unsettled,

Speaker 1:

Very unsettled. I

Speaker 4:

Was very, very unsettled. If you haven't gotten that point,

Speaker 3:

But if you really enjoy the banter between Dave and Nick and you want to be snuggled in between them and a nice little situation, you don't want to miss out on binge-watch as podcast after party, which happens on wall. Exclusively happens on stereo app now. So that's going to go live with us maybe every Sunday. I don't know. Every once in a while you get on there, we're not going to announce the schedule on here.

Let me tell you about my movie. Then tell us about your movie. It's about a kid and no points. Thanks for playing. It's about a goat.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3:

He's talking about[inaudible], which is like a horror movie. Oh, see, I thought he was going to be called the kid because it's a kid's movies. And he mentioned that he, I'm not telling you the name of the movie. Yeah. I'm just telling you where it is. There's like a super pack. Hey Nick, it's getting late.

Speaker 1:

All right. This is Nicolaides. Uh, I'm recapping the show. We talked about a bunch of cool stuff. I love you guys. Uh, and you know,

Speaker 3:

Next week's movie. I don't even know what's

Speaker 1:

Next week movie. I actually don't even know.

Speaker 3:

So we're going to stay and psychosis and popular movies about insanity. And Adam's going to actually really kill me in real life. Cause I keep muting his microphone. He's going to fight me on the stereo app recently. And he was serious.

Speaker 1:

I can't do it.

Speaker 3:

You guys get a vote. You got to pick, but just off the title alone, what next week movies is. So I'm gonna give you two titles and then you choose just based on the titles. You may know about the movies. You may not know about the movies, who knows. So, uh, get ready to select between these and we'll go through the order of the show. So we'll go, Nick, Dave, Adam, and then myself. And then we'll see. So what I'm gonna tell you right now, you're going, gonna make a selection. All right, here we go. Okay. Nick, whatever happened to baby Jane or shock corridor?

Speaker 1:

What the hell is shock corridor? I actually don't even know what either of these moves are. Well title alone. Which one? What happened to baby Jane? I guess.

Speaker 3:

All right. Let's one for baby Jane. I literally

Speaker 1:

Don't know what these movies are. So, um,

Speaker 3:

I've seen what happened to baby Jane and I've been wanting to see shock. So I'm going to say

Speaker 1:

Shot corridor. Ooh, interesting times. I actually don't even know what either of these, you get to talk. Now you get to be a tiebreaker, Adam.

Speaker 5:

It all depends on he's being quiet.

Speaker 1:

Yes. Now he's doing, he's doing over there.

Speaker 5:

Oh my gosh. Can you hear me? Okay. Look, uh, I was leaning towards baby Jane because it has like, whatever happened to baby Jane and immediately I want to know what happened to baby Jane. Sure. So that's, that's the direction I'm running in.

Speaker 1:

Wow.

Speaker 5:

Did we get that right? Can I reverse it later? If I know? I mean, I know it's about to happen. We're about to watch baby Jane. Okay. All right.

Speaker 1:

Wow. What's the, what the hell is Samuel Fuller just is asked out. I Googled what happened to be part of me naked babies. I don't understand what's that part.

Speaker 5:

We wanted to just do it. What Dave wanted to do. Cause I don't want to have to like talk about something he has already watched or whatever. You know,

Speaker 1:

That's a good movie. I'm not going to come into it with a attitude. It's just like, I want an excuse to watch shock corridor, but we're going to let it crazy. Like sixties movie,

Speaker 5:

[inaudible] say shock corridor. The title does not make me want to go run. I just saw something like this girl looks like a super great Dolph Lundgren in it and saying,

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're looking at Betty Davis

Speaker 5:

Is famous for her eyes and there's a song about her.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's like,[inaudible], I'm thinking of the Pullman who played her.

Speaker 5:

God. What is the other actresses? CC. Joan Crawford. Thank you.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Wow. 1962. There you go. Oh, wow. One of the oldest movies we've covered on here. I actually go back this far that often, rarely I agree. I don't know how much old Hollywood we do on here, but here we go.
