0:45

We're doing it a little later today. We got to sleep in Yeah.

0:48

Although

0:48

0:51

so it was it

0:51

really sleeping in. We also with

0:57

us is your other other host Jon

0:57

Correia How you doing Korea? How

1:00

was your fourth? 20

1:01

Oh, I spent it

1:01

at the Long Beach Grand Prix, so

1:05

I didn't get stoned but I did

1:05

get sunbaked so I'm still quite

1:11

Sundazed from that, which that

1:11

shits insane do they they don't

1:17

have a track they just close off

1:17

like a section and they're just

1:20

like going around like the

1:20

convention center and aquarium

1:23

and stuff like in the parking

1:23

lot. No, like like the streets

1:27

like they choose. Yeah. And it

1:27

was IMSA. And like all of those.

1:30

So those were like, these were

1:30

cars that were doing like 300

1:33

miles per hour and then doing

1:33

like a 90 degree turn and stuff

1:35

that was That was crazy. I've

1:35

never I've never been one of

1:38

those. So that was a lot of fun.

1:40

They used to

1:40

do and I think they did this to

1:43

keep people from doing it on the

1:43

streets. But they would do drag

1:46

racing out here in the Qualcomm

1:46

Stadium parking lot. When

1:50

Qualcomm Stadium was a thing

1:50

they tore it down and they built

1:52

Snapdragon, but Snapdragon is

1:52

only used by the SDSU Aztecs

1:57

because we lost the Chargers do you guys.

2:00

Oh, no, we

2:00

took the Chargers, cry me a

2:03

river.

2:05

You took the

2:05

Rams from St. Louis. Don't you

2:07

guys just creating your own

2:07

teams?

2:10

No. And then you know what? We're taking the next the fucking Olympics. I

2:11

can't wait. No, I can wait.

2:15

That's gonna be horrible.

2:17

We're getting way the hell off topic.

2:19

Is this a horror podcast? Yeah.

2:22

This is Eye

2:22

on Sports. And we have a ton to

2:26

talk about. This is our baby

2:26

tomato episode. Because we're

2:29

gonna play catch up. Like we

2:29

only got to tell one joke. One

2:36

episode.

2:38

No, no, we

2:38

took a break at the worst time.

2:42

It was like right, everything

2:42

came out. So

2:45

we were

2:45

talking before we hit record

2:48

that right after the last time

2:48

we recorded. The big release was

2:53

Frozen Empire.

2:53

Have you guys both seen it?

2:56

Yeah, I saw it.

2:56

What do you think? I actually

2:59

liked it more than Afterlife. I

2:59

thought it was pretty fun. And

3:05

it did a better job of kind of

3:05

doing like a Ghostbusters type

3:10

story in that it felt like a big

3:10

budget live action version of

3:14

the cartoon. Like, you know, had

3:14

you ghoulies had some ghost

3:19

busting and it was said New York.

3:21

I really

3:21

liked it a lot. i You're right.

3:25

It is more of a Ghostbusters

3:25

movie. I think the reason for

3:29

that is because Afterlife. I

3:29

think they were trying to keep

3:32

the original Ghostbusters. Not

3:32

being spoiled, you know, but

3:37

this one you know that

3:37

everybody's there. And so yeah,

3:41

and I've heard a lot of

3:41

complaints. It's kind of getting

3:44

skewered by the critics, which I

3:44

don't understand. The hate for

3:47

Frozen Empire

3:47

because it's an entertaining

3:50

movie. And it brings out the new

3:50

quote new Ghostbusters meaning

3:55

McKenna grace and Carrie Kuhn

3:55

and Paul Rudd, you know, the,

4:00

the familial connection, the

4:00

next generation, I guess you

4:02

could call it, but people are

4:02

complaining that it's all

4:05

Nostalgia What do you expect

4:05

from a Ghostbusters movie at

4:08

this point, so

4:09

it felt it was

4:09

less nostalgia. Cooking then

4:13

Afterlife, like it did try to do

4:13

at least a few new things.

4:17

It's about

4:17

the same for me. I mean,

4:19

nostalgia wise because they

4:19

still, you know, I mean, they

4:22

still played up the song they

4:22

still know who you gonna call,

4:25

you know, and Annie Potts was

4:25

back as a Ghostbuster. Which

4:29

I love Annie

4:29

Potts, but

4:31

it's I mean,

4:31

it was pretty much pyramid of

4:34

nostalgia, but the thing is,

4:34

that's kind of organic because

4:37

in that universe, the

4:37

Ghostbusters frickin saved New

4:40

York. And even if it happened 40

4:40

years ago, you know, when they

4:45

reappear, people are going to be

4:45

like, yeah, Ghostbusters, you

4:50

know, so I don't know. The

4:50

nostalgia didn't bother me

4:54

people I think just want to

4:54

complain about Yeah,

4:57

because I mean

4:57

Ghostbusters are like the old

4:59

Only ethical form of enforcement

4:59

of like enforcement there is

5:05

from a government agency. So

5:05

like, of course, people are

5:07

going to be excited when they come back.

5:11

Yeah.

5:11

Speaking of the government

5:13

agency, the frickin the small

5:13

dick guys back to in this.

5:19

I always loved

5:19

how he was the villain and that

5:21

when you're a kid you're like, Yeah, fuck that guy. But then you become an adult and you're

5:23

like, he's not wrong. Yeah, that

5:28

is very. We don't know the

5:28

environmental thing. Was he

5:31

right to just, like, open up the

5:31

thing and release to ghosts? No,

5:35

no, but like,

5:35

but he had a point.

5:37

I mean, yeah,

5:37

the looking back. The original

5:40

Ghostbusters movie is very anti

5:40

environmental protection agents.

5:44

Yeah,

5:45

although the funny thing is, is that in Frozen Empire, they kind of

5:46

reverse that because plot point

5:50

is the Ghost Trap is almost at

5:50

maximum capacity and could

5:54

explode. And when they asked why

5:54

they didn't plan for that,

5:58

journeyman even says, It was the

5:58

80s we didn't think about the

6:01

future. I'm glad they address it. Yeah,

6:02

they they do admit.

6:06

Yeah, they there was some faults

6:06

in that logic. But ya know, I

6:10

mean, I saw it in theaters,

6:10

thought it was fun.

6:14

Another thing

6:14

that came out that feels like

6:16

forever ago, but this one's

6:16

actually getting a little more

6:18

love from critics. The first

6:18

omen? No, no, we've all seen the

6:23

first Oh,

6:24

oh, yes. Oh, let

6:26

me tell you

6:26

first and foremost, y'all know

6:29

me, you know, I hate going into

6:29

theaters now because I hate

6:31

people on it. But we saw it in

6:31

one of those like AMC prime

6:37

fucking theaters prime format or

6:37

whatever. And we were like

6:40

second row from the front

6:40

because it was so packed. So we

6:43

did but there was no one else in

6:43

a row so we didn't see or hear

6:46

anybody so that was an

6:46

Immaculate theater experience.

6:49

See what you did there

6:50

for oh, I

6:50

didn't mean to that's great. But

6:54

for an Immaculate movie because

6:54

let's see never watched The Omen

6:57

movies so we watched the first

6:57

two throughout the week before

7:00

seeing it and I binge

7:01

the first I

7:01

binge the the for everything

7:04

except the remake before going

7:04

up to it and that was an

7:06

experience but it's the first

7:06

one is really scary. But then

7:09

they get a little cornier until

7:09

four completely goes off the

7:15

rails four is

7:17

we don't talk about four Oh, I

7:18

talked about

7:18

four I thought it was hysterical

7:20

i don't know

7:22

i love the original trilogy with all my heart and revisiting two

7:24

especially because Jerry

7:27

Goldsmith did not want to do the

7:27

same score again but they were

7:30

like no we have to have the

7:30

iconic thing and so what he did

7:34

like Omen Damian The Omen two is

7:34

like is Jerry would like for the

7:39

Omen what Attack of the Clones

7:39

was with John Williams because

7:41

like you watch Attack of the Clones and all sudden you're like Wait is John Williams using

7:43

a fucking electric guitar in

7:46

this? but Dameon The Omen two

7:46

what they were doing with the

7:50

Oh, like doing the crow thing

7:50

that's my only complaint about

7:54

First Omen was I was sitting

7:54

there going I need I just needed

7:57

Oh wow. And I think it was

7:57

because I watched Damien the

8:00

night prior I was just like I

8:00

just need that one but First

8:03

Omen. I don't know if it was

8:03

because of the marketing and

8:06

like that they were just

8:06

probably predominantly showing

8:09

like we're doing like at like a

8:09

70s horror movie. But I did not

8:14

I was not expecting like there

8:14

was so much with it that I that

8:17

just made sense where it's like

8:17

okay, you're doing a movie

8:20

basically about Damien's birth

8:20

mother, right? So like, of

8:23

course, it's gonna be gyna

8:23

horror, but like I that didn't

8:27

register in my head. And holy

8:27

shit. Did they pull it off? Like

8:30

it looked great? They did. They

8:30

matched a lot of the aesthetics

8:35

of like 70s filmmaking with

8:35

like, big wide establishing such

8:38

shots of the city. The acting

8:38

was phenomenal. That one scene

8:43

that was like, yo, yo, you guys

8:43

that were watching Possession

8:46

when you were talking about this

8:46

scene I know you were so fucking

8:51

good like oh man dude like

8:51

honestly like First Omen blew me

8:55

as a lifelong Omen obsessed fan

8:55

like that. That's everything I

9:00

needed from an Omen prequel, I

9:00

think. And also, I got you guys

9:06

know, I there's there's a

9:06

there's one shot, you guys can't

9:10

see because I'm doing a visual

9:10

thing but the hand reaching out

9:13

bit. That's going to be

9:13

someone's album cover. I just

9:16

know.

9:17

That was pretty

9:17

badass. But no, I completely

9:20

agree. And I was fortunate

9:20

enough to see it at the VISTA

9:24

theater, which was playing it on

9:24

film, which gave it even more of

9:28

an authentic kind of 70s

9:28

experience. And it really did

9:34

drawn a lot of Euro horror,

9:34

particularly from the 70s and

9:38

80s. You know, just if it was

9:38

dropped years ago, and somebody

9:44

said it was made by Fulci or

9:44

Michele Soavi, I could believe

9:50

it. And yeah, it's it because it

9:50

definitely runs a bit harder and

9:55

there's an ample amount of gore

9:55

and uncomfortableness And the

10:02

end the plot was actually very

10:02

well executed. Because if you

10:05

had told me, Oh, there's going

10:05

to be a big Omen prequel, I

10:11

would have been skeptical

10:11

because I got what are you going

10:13

to do with that? And evidently,

10:13

there's a lot you can do with

10:16

that. And it was scary as hell

10:16

like, there were a couple of

10:21

scares that actually did make me

10:21

jump in my seat.

10:25

Oh, dude, I

10:25

mean, so much be behind it

10:28

shouldn't have worked. Like when

10:28

you think of a horror prequel?

10:32

It's like you're taking all the

10:32

horror out of it, but it makes

10:35

they made it make sense with how

10:35

it was because it's it's all

10:38

about, you know, like just

10:38

getting to it just it made too

10:42

much sense and like Neil Tiger

10:42

Free. The lead who played

10:46

Margaret and that she was

10:46

phenomenal. Do she did so much

10:50

like, like I said, that one

10:50

thing that definitely evoked

10:52

Possession, and I was just like,

10:52

holy shit. But even before then,

10:55

dude, she would do little things

10:55

with her face where it's just

10:58

like, what was that? What was

10:58

that? And I think my only real

11:02

complaint was, Bill Nye was

11:02

phenomenal in it. But there was

11:07

definitely one part where I

11:07

couldn't help but just go, the

11:10

greater good, the greater good.

11:10

You know.

11:14

My only

11:14

complaint with it is I felt that

11:17

the last act kind of dragged on

11:17

a bit once you I think it played

11:21

its hand too early with the big

11:21

twist, which by now everybody

11:25

probably knows the big twist, but I'm not going to spoil it anyway. Yeah, I think it played

11:27

its hand a little too early with

11:30

that. And I think it could have

11:30

that would have been a bigger

11:33

shock if the big twist kind of

11:33

leads you into the third act.

11:37

And I thought that the third act

11:37

kind of dragged a bit once you

11:41

know that big twist. But you're

11:41

right, as far as horror prequels

11:45

go, you're kind of like, what

11:45

can you add to this? Well, turns

11:48

out a lot because of the cool

11:48

twists. You know, it doesn't it

11:54

doesn't actually tell you the

11:54

whole story. Like you expect to

11:59

hear it. So it it is yeah, I I

11:59

enjoyed it. And then the middle

12:04

part after they set the whole

12:04

thing up with this, you know,

12:08

prospective nun going to Italy

12:08

to take her vows and then the

12:12

twist that whole middle section

12:12

where it's an Omen movie is

12:17

awesome. Yeah, like like you

12:17

said the Final Destination kind

12:21

of stuff. And you know, when it

12:21

is actually an omen movie,

12:24

you're like, Okay, this is what

12:24

I'm here for.

12:28

Oh man and d

12:28

just like at the amount of like

12:31

fresh talent in that movie that

12:31

was just like on next levels

12:35

between the filmmakers the

12:35

leads, I mean, Maria Cavaleiro

12:40

as Luz the roommate, like she

12:40

was just serving the entire time

12:45

there was a there was a part where they were going out and she put on a blonde wig like

12:47

that's not going to work for you

12:49

girl then she worked it was just

12:49

like how dare you when she gets

12:53

like the full nunnery. Look,

12:53

it's like that's not gonna work

12:56

for you go and then she served

12:56

and I was just like, god dammit,

12:59

you are bad. Loved it. Yeah, no,

12:59

I'm I'm glowing. I loved it. I

13:06

that's all I needed dude. To

13:06

keep my to keep my life happy.

13:09

It's just like a good omen movie

13:09

delivered, which I don't know if

13:15

I made the mistake of seeing The

13:15

First Omen on a Thursday and

13:19

then going to see Immaculate

13:19

that Saturday. But I know

13:23

everyone loved Immaculate and I

13:23

liked it. It was good. And it

13:27

makes me wonder if Immaculate

13:27

was this year's Talk to Me for

13:31

me where I saw it a little too

13:31

late and everyone hyped it up so

13:35

much. And then I had a bad

13:35

theater experience. Because

13:40

again it wasn't i That's why I

13:40

say the Omen who was immaculate

13:45

theater experience but

13:45

Immaculate. It was terrible do

13:47

to get people fucking talking

13:47

there was this one lady like,

13:50

especially at the end anytime

13:50

Sydney Sweeney did something she

13:53

just got like really loud laugh

13:53

It was i i liked Immaculate but

14:00

I think I need to revisit it

14:00

again. It's similar with Talk to

14:03

Me. I'm gonna watch Talk to Me

14:03

soon and give it a second shot

14:06

because like, I was like, I feel

14:06

like I would love this movie

14:08

more just this this. This

14:08

theater experience is horrible.

14:13

Yeah, this is

14:13

why I am very careful about my

14:16

time and location for theatres.

14:16

Especially stuff like Alamo or

14:21

Yeah, like this new bed all that

14:21

business. Because Hell is other

14:26

people, especially when they're

14:26

assholes at a movie theater,

14:29

dude, even

14:29

Alamo. We went and saw Godzilla

14:33

X Kong opening night at the

14:33

Alamo and these people that were

14:38

like, to our left a few seats

14:38

down. Were like were talking so

14:43

loud, like that. That's a loud

14:43

movie and we could still hear

14:47

them and did

14:48

you raise an

14:48

order card and ask somebody to

14:51

take care of them like they say

14:51

in the intro before the movie?

14:53

Absolutely.

14:53

And the Alamo staff were really

14:56

good and took care of it but

14:56

like it was just like, Dude,

14:58

what the fuck like this theater

14:58

where you know you're not

15:01

supposed to be doing this shit.

15:01

Why are you doing this? Again?

15:05

How's other

15:05

people. Hell is other people.

15:07

I actually

15:07

haven't seen either Immaculate

15:10

or Godzilla X Kong because well

15:10

Godzilla X Kong they didn't

15:14

screen for press and immaculate.

15:14

They screened it on the same

15:18

frickin night as Love Lies

15:18

Bleeding, so I haven't seen

15:21

either. So what did you guys

15:21

think about this once you guys

15:23

talk about those for a few?

15:25

Well, first of all boys are back in town Godzilla X Kong. Let's go. Let's

15:27

go. Let's go.

15:31

No, I mean, I

15:31

love Godzilla X Kong because I

15:35

got into Godzilla in the Showa

15:35

era where it was a lot of team

15:39

up movies between Godzilla and

15:39

other monsters fighting other

15:42

monsters, which to me is a

15:42

perfect Godzilla formula like I

15:45

think Godzilla vs. Gigan, and

15:45

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla like a

15:50

lot of those from the 60s and

15:50

70s were kind of my introduction

15:55

to Godzilla. So this is very

15:55

evocative of those and you know

16:00

it's classic setup plot where

16:00

you know, like last movie was

16:04

Godzilla versus Kong and you

16:04

know, they kind of teamed up in

16:07

that but like this time, like

16:07

they they both have to work

16:11

together they want to save the

16:11

world from the Scar King is

16:14

basically evil Gods evil King

16:14

Kong who has his own like

16:19

personal kaiju weapon and you

16:19

know this you got a badass Kaiju

16:25

Team up with Godzilla and Kong

16:25

you know what's not to love? And

16:29

I love mini Kong because once

16:29

again you know going back to the

16:34

classics it's like Godzilla had

16:34

a baby Godzilla for a while so

16:37

now Kong's got a baby Kong, you

16:37

know, goes full circle.

16:41

What's the

16:41

story with the Power Glove that

16:44

Kong is wearing?

16:45

Oh, yeah,

16:45

basically Dan Stevens is the Ace

16:50

Ventura Kaiju detective slash

16:50

doctor and at first he like

16:56

breaks a tooth he helps repari

16:56

the tooth and then Kong's arm

17:00

gets injured. And apparently

17:00

they were developing a

17:05

augmentation cast system in case

17:05

Kong ever got hurt. So they

17:09

bring that in and yeah, it's

17:09

basically like an exoskeleton

17:12

Power Glove for Kong so he's got

17:12

a big ass metal gun today. You

17:14

can just like smash it with and

17:14

it's awesome.

17:18

Yeah, I've

17:18

seen I was seeing that in the

17:20

commercials and I'm like, oh, what's the story with that glove? So there you go. No, they

17:24

they did a

17:24

really phenomenal job of like

17:27

laying down why things are the

17:27

way they are so like, because we

17:31

because we did have Godzilla

17:31

versus Kong in the previous

17:34

movie and then they talk about

17:34

like, okay, so Kong is basically

17:38

down in the Hollow Earth now

17:38

that's his territory and above

17:42

is Godzilla. So if Kong ever

17:42

goes up there, Godzilla is gonna

17:45

be pissed and come after him and

17:45

so they do have that moment

17:49

where basically conflict goes up

17:49

to recruit Godzilla to help with

17:52

the Scar King and I forget the

17:52

new kaiju name off the top my

17:57

head.

17:59

The ice Well,

17:59

the ice kaiju Yes, name.

18:03

It'll come to

18:03

me in a sec. But so yeah, they

18:05

do duke it out at the pyramids,

18:05

which was really great. But they

18:10

also do, like explain things

18:10

like with the augmented glove,

18:13

they explain like, they were

18:13

like, well, we know how to

18:16

communicate with Kong Congress,

18:16

basically our guy, right? But

18:19

what if he encountered something

18:19

that he can't handle? So they

18:22

started developing, like how to

18:22

augment him but then the

18:24

government was like, Yo, you

18:24

cannot make these things that we

18:27

can't control stronger What the

18:27

fuck is wrong with you? And so

18:31

they shut it down. So they only

18:31

made one glove and so when he

18:34

injured his hand, convenient, it

18:34

was the right hand. You know?

18:38

That would have been awkward.

18:38

But

18:40

maybe it's

18:40

reversible. I don't know but so

18:43

the ice the ice Kaiju name Shimo

18:46

Shimo! That's

18:46

right. Shoot, they were great.

18:49

But no, I really enjoyed it. It

18:49

was it was literally it's a WWE

18:53

SmackDown is Kaijus fighting it

18:53

delivers on all that there's a

18:58

bit of heart you know, with

18:58

everything it ties together they

19:02

set up future but I love just

19:02

watching like seeing more of the

19:05

personalities of the Kaiju

19:05

coming out. So like Godzilla has

19:08

like a lot more like cat

19:08

characteristics like Taiwan has

19:11

been saying like a lot of them

19:11

are saying so when he said nap

19:15

after a battle in the Coliseum.

19:15

It's so cute

19:18

it's all curled

19:18

up. But I was really and also

19:21

Adam WinGard was at the q&a for

19:21

the screening I was at and he

19:24

said if he gets to do another

19:24

one, he will have either

19:27

Godzilla or Kong do a Stone Cold

19:27

Stunner.

19:31

Hell, yeah. Because they didn't it wasn't a pile drive. The Yeah, the slime.

19:32

Yeah, that was great. I was

19:37

really worried about Suko

19:37

because I was like, alright, so

19:41

a sick and tired of like, Baby

19:41

versions of things. So the

19:44

fucking baby Yodas and all that

19:44

stuff. Like I'm always a little

19:46

weary of that. It's like, oh, you're trying to do a thing. That's cute. But like Ty West

19:48

said that like he kind of viewed

19:53

this more like.

19:54

You mean, Adam WinGard

19:55

Oh, my bad Adam Wingard. I always confuse those two. Adam Wingard said

19:57

that like, this was like a buddy

20:02

cop movie. That's how they kind

20:02

of like pictured like them. So

20:06

like it was the rogue ones like

20:06

kind of the more senior thing.

20:09

And Suko is literally he's not

20:09

like someone's baby or

20:14

something. Suko is basically

20:14

like that one gang member that's

20:18

not as strong as everyone else

20:18

that easily gets picked on by

20:21

the cops and becomes their

20:21

informant. That's Suko, Suko is

20:24

that little, the the informer

20:24

that snitches on them, and

20:28

reluctantly becomes a part of

20:28

the team later in the movie.

20:31

Yeah. And also,

20:31

I do love that when they

20:34

introduced Suko, that Kong, you

20:34

know, tries to befriend him and

20:38

be nice. And then Suko attacks

20:38

with some of the other apes. And

20:41

he literally beats the shit out

20:41

of the other apes with Suko and

20:44

just like toss out Yeah, tree

20:44

Yeah, no,

20:46

Kong just picks up Suko just starts beating everyone so good. But

20:48

yeah, dude, it's it's fun. It's

20:53

it's a Kaiju mashup. I mean,

20:53

like, it's great that we are in

20:58

a golden age of like, different

20:58

forms of Godzilla being explored

21:01

where you can have the more

21:01

Gojira inspired minus one where

21:06

it's very serious takes on the

21:06

heavy themes, and then you get

21:09

to turn around and have this

21:09

colorful, amazing like, just

21:13

Kaiju showdown WWE matchup with

21:13

like, the oh man, the crush on

21:19

Dan Stevens that came back with

21:19

that movie only only matched by

21:24

his letterbox top four interview

21:24

where he was like for he did for

21:28

Abigail, and he was like, Oh,

21:28

well, I got to give my top four

21:31

vampire movies then it was just

21:31

like Be still my beating heart.

21:34

Yeah, Shadow of

21:34

The Vampire, A Girl Walks Home

21:36

Alone at Night, Norway.

21:39

Oh, when he referenced Norway. I was just like, sweetie,

21:42

the other one

21:42

that he did was Herzog's

21:45

Nosferatu. Oh right.

21:46

Yeah, that's

21:46

what made me blush. Yeah, that

21:49

was the blush one.

21:50

Speaking of Abigail.

21:52

Yes.

21:53

Do you guys

21:53

see Abigail? No, Jacob do I did

21:55

I did yeah, it what do you think

21:55

of Abigail?

21:58

I fucking loved it.

21:59

I loved it,

21:59

too. I love it. Is it seriously

22:02

is it's it's a Radio Silence

22:02

vampire movie is what it is. So

22:06

you know that they're gonna

22:06

subvert the tropes that you

22:09

already know. But it also kind

22:09

of embraces them. But it's, oh

22:13

my gosh, it's it. It's it starts

22:13

off like Reservoir Dogs, but

22:17

then it turns into like a

22:17

slasher movie. And then it just

22:20

goes I mean, it almost goes full

22:20

Ready Or Not only instead of a

22:25

bunch of people hunting one

22:25

person. It's one entity hunting

22:30

a bunch of people. And there's

22:30

just as much blood buckets and

22:33

buckets and buckets.

22:35

Oh, yeah. So

22:35

much blood. And it was

22:37

interesting to me because it

22:37

actually felt kind of like a

22:40

modern update or Radio Silence's

22:40

take on classic Universal

22:44

Monsters and the old this Old

22:44

Dark House type of horror movies

22:50

from Universal again, you know,

22:50

it's under that banner. Because

22:53

you got a vampire you got a big,

22:53

creepy dark house that you can

22:57

get easily lost to and a lot of

22:57

different rooms. It and no just

23:02

is so much fun. And, you know, I

23:02

watched it as blindly as I

23:07

could. And there was still a lot

23:07

of good twists and turns. And

23:12

you know, just as definitely

23:12

helped by such an amazing cast,

23:15

including Melissa Barrara in the

23:15

lead. And again, Jonathan's man

23:19

crush Dan Stevens, in a

23:19

completely opposite role to

23:23

Godzilla X Kong where he plays

23:23

like real hard ass with glasses

23:28

and a ridiculous accent. Yeah,

23:30

he's like an

23:30

ex cop. And he's got like the

23:33

cop accent you know?

23:35

Because well, he's like trying to go for like more of a Brooklyn accent.

23:38

Yeah. Did

23:39

you guys know

23:39

there's a third Dan Stevens

23:41

movie coming out in major

23:41

theaters this year?

23:43

Oh, yes. I am

23:43

quite aware of Cuckoo.

23:46

I'm very aware

23:46

that there's a third Dan Stevens

23:49

movie coming out.

23:50

It's gonna be

23:50

great where he has yet another

23:52

ridiculous accent. Yeah.

23:57

The thing

23:57

about Abigail is they they kind

24:00

of tell you once you find out

24:00

what's going on, because it's

24:03

more than just, they kidnapped

24:03

this girl turns out to be a

24:06

vampire. It's like there's a

24:06

reason they kidnapped her

24:08

because her dad is like, you

24:08

know, supposed to pay this $50

24:11

million ransom. But no one knows

24:11

who her dad is to a point. And

24:16

then once they find out who her

24:16

dad is all of the, you know, all

24:21

of the kidnappers are like, Oh,

24:21

no, I'm out. I'm out. You know,

24:24

it's theirs. And then they're

24:24

like, Okay, wait. Are you

24:27

worried? There's mistrust

24:27

amongst the kidnappers. They're

24:30

like, Well, no, you're you're

24:30

working with them for this.

24:33

You're setting us up you know,

24:33

you're it's it's just this crazy

24:37

exercise in paranoia because

24:37

they get locked in. It's not

24:41

just like they can just cut and

24:41

run leave. They get locked in

24:45

with her. You know? It's It's so

24:45

good. Abigail, so much fun.

24:51

Ya know, just the rest of the cast is really solid. I mean, you got Katherine

24:53

Newton, Angus cloud, willing

24:56

Katelyn, Kevin Durand and

24:56

Alicia, we're As Abigail like

25:01

she really she really killed it

25:01

in every sense of the word. And

25:05

just like all the ballerina

25:05

stuff camp combined with the

25:07

vampire stuff was very amusing.

25:07

The ballerina

25:10

stuff that

25:10

she would do as a vampire was

25:13

very M3gan esque. You know, or

25:13

excuse me, mithraic. And so this

25:17

is why do we

25:17

need an Abigail versus M3gan

25:20

movie in the form of a dance

25:20

off?

25:23

Dance off?

25:25

Have you guys

25:25

been watching the Chucky series?

25:28

No, but I do. I

25:28

did hear about that cameo or

25:30

reference. Oh, dude.

25:32

So they just

25:32

came back for the part two of

25:34

season three. And I think it's

25:34

in the second episode of part

25:38

two, because the seasons split

25:38

into there's a scene where

25:42

Chucky because he's aging.

25:42

That's that's the problem with

25:44

season three is Chucky is

25:44

getting old and he's dying. And

25:47

so he's just sitting there watching TV and he's flipping the channel on every channel.

25:49

It's either like, it's like the

25:51

dummy from Dead Silence and

25:51

they're like, Ah, he didn't even

25:54

get a franchise. We are just

25:54

like, you're just stealing my

25:58

style. Then it's that scene in

25:58

M3gan where she's doing the

26:01

dance. And he's like, Oh, she

26:01

stole my move. Fuck you

26:05

Meg-three-Gan. It's great. That

26:05

show is so tongue in cheek and

26:12

just like, great.

26:13

Yeah, watch

26:13

season one, I got to finish

26:15

season two, and they get on with the rest.

26:17

Well, and the

26:17

brilliant thing about the Chucky

26:20

series is Devon Sawa plays a new

26:20

character in every season. And

26:25

every season he gets killed. And

26:25

so it's always like, how is he

26:28

going to die this season?

26:29

Let's shift

26:29

gears and go from fun movies to

26:32

a very serious one.

26:33

Yeah, let's

26:33

talk about how I saw that RAD at

26:36

its 40th anniversary screening.

26:36

Oh, yeah.

26:39

Okay, hell

26:39

track. Not exactly the direction

26:42

I was going. But sure, let's

26:42

talk RAD. That's

26:44

right. I'm

26:44

hijacking this transition. No,

26:47

they did a they did Fathom

26:47

Events did an anniversary

26:51

nationwide screening of RAD,

26:51

which I saw over at City Walk,

26:54

which is great. It's great

26:54

restoration. It's never saw Rad

26:57

on the big screen without

26:57

Rifftrax going. So it was

27:00

amazing. And as soon as the

27:00

credits come up, all sudden,

27:04

this guy is standing next to me

27:04

just start shouting, and scared

27:07

the fuck out of me. I jumped out

27:07

of my seat. And it was Bill

27:10

Allen, the star of Rad. And he

27:10

just goes, Hey, guys, stick

27:15

around because they're gonna do

27:15

an interview thing after this.

27:18

But after that come across the

27:18

street. at the food court at

27:23

City Walk, I'm signing

27:23

autographs. And yeah, dude, Bill

27:27

Allen. And it was it was cold,

27:27

stood outside for like a few

27:31

hours and signed everything for

27:31

every person that went up to

27:35

him. And it was amazing. Bill

27:35

Allen is god damn mench I love

27:38

him. So yes, I now have a framed

27:38

signature for Rad sitting in my

27:45

office. That's all I wanted to say.

27:46

So that's how did you know he was going to be there if it was a suprise to

27:48

bring your well, but But how did

27:51

you bring your poster? No, no,

27:51

no, he had he brought

27:55

copies of his

27:55

book. I think he had a couple

27:57

records. He definitely had a lot

27:57

of like pictures to sign. But

28:01

no, he was just it. And that was

28:01

the funny thing is, again, this

28:04

is a Fathom event. This wasn't

28:04

like a repertory theater. We're

28:07

the only person showing it. So I

28:07

just happened to be in the one

28:11

theater that Bill Allen was at

28:11

and do it and would do a signing

28:14

after and I had friends that

28:14

were like seeing it at other

28:16

AMCs or other places in town.

28:16

And so I've just texted him

28:19

like, Yo Bill Allen was at my

28:19

screen and like fuck, I'm in

28:22

Sherman Oaks. I don't have

28:22

there's not enough time to get

28:24

there. So yeah, it was a great

28:24

night.

28:27

Where I was

28:27

trying to steer us is Civil War.

28:32

I know you both have seen Oh, yes. Yeah, talk Civil War. This

28:38

is I mean, I love Alex Garland.

28:38

I love everything he has to say.

28:41

This is a grim movie. And the

28:41

thing is my big thing when I

28:47

accidentally saw the trailer

28:47

before Love Lies Bleeding you

28:50

guys know I avoid trailers but

28:50

with A24 stuff, they give us

28:54

tickets to paid preview

28:54

screenings. So that's how we see

28:58

it. So we have to sit through

28:58

trailers. I was wondering how

29:01

the hell they were going to pull

29:01

off a Texas California unity,

29:06

you know, coalition with this?

29:06

And the the the answer is they

29:10

don't and I think they did that

29:10

to make it as A-political as

29:14

possible. So the actual focus is

29:14

on the Civil War itself and not

29:20

either side. By the end you kind

29:20

of get an idea of who is right

29:25

and who is wrong. But it's also

29:25

completely Yeah, you kind of

29:29

get the the idea that the

29:29

President's a douchebag in this

29:32

situation.

29:33

That's it. But

29:33

that's it, though, is that no,

29:35

but

29:35

but they don't they don't tell you what political party he's from. They

29:37

don't they don't draw sides like

29:40

that. You just

29:41

know that doesn't have a name. They just call him the president. Nick

29:42

Offerman you just know that

29:45

the rebels

29:45

are quote, right. You know,

29:49

they're they're the righteous ones.

29:51

It's it's

29:51

insane because I had I did see

29:53

the previews and I was getting

29:53

really worried because I was

29:56

like, Oh man, here comes this

29:56

British filmmaker and He's good.

30:00

And he's gonna here's his

30:00

opinion on American politics.

30:04

Like what kind of take and then

30:04

like no one was helping the

30:08

marketing for this movie has

30:08

been a brilliant kind of

30:13

terrible that's like insane to

30:13

be honest because the trailers

30:18

all make it look like it's going

30:18

to be politically charged as

30:20

fuck. More so than like, what

30:20

was that movie that came out in

30:24

2020 unted or The Hunt, The

30:24

Hunt? They made it seem like it

30:28

was gonna be as like polarizing

30:28

as that. And then they came up

30:33

with those AI posters, which

30:33

were fucking horrible. Oh, yeah,

30:35

that was bullshit. It's all

30:35

drawing attention to it, which

30:38

is working because it was number

30:38

one at the box office biggest

30:41

opening for A24 is

30:42

number one box

30:42

office twice. Yeah. And a week

30:45

is two weeks. Like that's the

30:45

first for A24

30:47

And then

30:47

everyone is also going, Oh,

30:50

well, you know, with this movie,

30:50

we're kind of saying both sides

30:53

are bad and stuff. And so like I

30:53

went into just like ready to

30:56

just like not be happy about the

30:56

politics at all with whatever

30:59

they were going to do. So the

30:59

fact that the movie actually

31:02

went so far out of its way to

31:02

not do any of that to just

31:07

really set the grounds for like

31:07

a neutral. Like, Listen, this

31:10

isn't about politics. This is

31:10

purely about the horrors of war.

31:14

The theme here is wars bad and

31:14

we're doing it through

31:16

photographers, and you can't do

31:16

that any other way than creating

31:20

a fictional civil war in

31:20

America. Because if you were to

31:22

set that in like an actual war,

31:22

you're immediately picking a

31:25

side and I was like, that's

31:25

actually pretty fucking

31:28

brilliant.

31:29

And actually

31:29

having the main characters be

31:32

the war correspondents CO that

31:32

photographers who are supposed

31:36

to remain impartial, I suppose

31:36

do because the photographers

31:40

did. But the the guy, the guy

31:40

that was Kirsten Dunst's

31:45

sidekick or her reporter, he you

31:45

could tell that he was planning

31:50

his interview questions for the

31:50

President to be very leading. So

31:54

he he kind of was in on the

31:54

whole the President is bad and

31:58

Kay kind of thing. But having it

31:58

having the focus be the war

32:02

correspondents who are supposed

32:02

to be impartial, kind of went a

32:06

long way towards that towards

32:06

the whole, you know, not how it

32:10

doesn't pick aside it.

32:10

Definitely. It definitely knows

32:13

how to ride a fence.

32:15

Yeah, although

32:15

my biggest takeaway from the

32:18

movie was just establishing that

32:18

if there were to be another

32:24

civil war in this country, we

32:24

are all fucked. Like you know,

32:29

just watch it as they drive

32:29

throughout the countryside, just

32:33

pure decay, dead bodies and

32:33

destroyed infrastructure and

32:38

vehicles everywhere. And then

32:38

like Steven McKinley Henderson's

32:44

character is even skeptical that

32:44

it when the rebels win, they may

32:48

turn on each other. So yeah, I

32:48

mean, it's just if civil war

32:53

happens at this day and age,

32:53

it's that not exactly like

32:58

there's going to be any winners

32:58

or just everything's gonna be

33:01

bad for everybody.

33:02

Well, not just

33:02

Civil War, just war in general,

33:04

because there was that really

33:04

great scene where, you know,

33:07

there's a sniper, and like,

33:07

they're, they're sitting with

33:10

another group, and they're like,

33:10

so who's shooting at us? And

33:12

they're like, they're like, Who are you trying to kill him? They're like, the guy who's

33:14

shooting at us. Yeah, but what

33:16

side is Is he on? Let me let me

33:16

say this again. He's shooting at

33:21

us. So we're trying to kill him.

33:21

He's trying to kill us. So we're

33:25

trying to kill him. Yeah, but

33:25

what side is he on? Let me say

33:28

it again. Like

33:29

yeah, beside

33:29

that is shooting at us. Yeah,

33:33

no, but that's the fog of war. You don't know who you're shooting at some of

33:34

the time sometimes in those

33:37

things get mixed up. And I just

33:37

also really love that like,

33:41

because you have the two

33:41

separate states and they have

33:43

their own thing they have like,

33:43

you know, the patches with the

33:45

two stars and stuff. And then

33:45

there's just Florida doing its

33:49

own thing. Anything even like

33:49

the news correspondents are like

33:52

the two Staters are doing this

33:52

end Florida's being Florida and

33:57

doing its own separate thing

33:59

it's like

33:59

that's what they win and this

34:02

parts in the trailer when they

34:02

encounter Jesse Plemons

34:06

character who you don't know

34:06

what side he's on. And he's

34:09

like, what kind of American Are

34:09

you? You know, where are you

34:12

from? And the one news

34:12

correspondent he kind of lets

34:16

out of breath he's Florida. You

34:16

know, he Okay, he knew that. It

34:22

either way you slice it being

34:22

from Florida is not good. You

34:26

know, and the other ones are

34:26

from like Missouri and Colorado,

34:29

so they're kind of not taken

34:29

aside so they're saved but the

34:32

Florida guys like, Yeah, I'm

34:32

from Florida.

34:36

Yeah, I also got

34:36

to give big props to Jesse

34:38

Plemons because his scene was

34:38

goddamn terrifying. Oh,

34:42

his scene was

34:42

terrifying. But it's also led to

34:44

one of my favorite memes that's

34:44

happening right now where people

34:47

are posting the picture of

34:47

Jessie Plemens. What kind of

34:50

aliens friend, Alien fan are

34:50

you? Are you original? Are you

34:56

do you like the first few do you

34:56

think AVP was a proper prequel?

34:59

Are you more of a Covent and

34:59

Prometheus Alien fan, I love it.

35:03

He the thing

35:03

that's, that's scariest about

35:06

that and it people are kind of

35:06

overlooking it but it's like

35:10

when they when they're they

35:10

first spot Jesse Plemons and his

35:13

crew of people they're disposing

35:13

of bodies. And, and at 1.1 of

35:17

the one of the reporters asked

35:17

the other ones who are their

35:20

uniforms on those bodies and

35:20

they're all No, you're like, oh,

35:24

you know, so he's one of those

35:24

Americans

35:28

dude it's yeah

35:28

it was really good I was like I

35:31

said I went in with like, I

35:31

guess some bias of just like ah

35:35

fuck Here we go. I got I got my

35:35

ticket for free so I was like,

35:39

Okay, here we go. And what am I

35:39

getting myself into? But no, I

35:42

really enjoyed, well I enjoyed

35:42

is I was pleasantly surprised

35:47

I'm like what it turned out to

35:47

be

35:50

Yeah,

35:50

enjoying is is a tough word to

35:53

use for this because it's not

35:53

the kind of movie that you

35:56

enjoy. But man is it powerful

35:58

isn't throwing

35:58

Yeah, yes.

36:01

So did that

36:01

did you guys see Monkey Man?

36:04

I did not

36:04

Yeah, monkey man. It

36:07

was funny.

36:07

They they screened they did a

36:09

double feature for us a press

36:09

double feature The First Omen

36:12

and Monkey Man. And the funniest

36:12

thing about that is the posters

36:14

are almost identical. Yeah, exactly.

36:16

The figure

36:16

exiting the red door. Yeah,

36:19

Shadow IT

36:19

a red door

36:19

and I actually saw a thing on

36:22

Twitter where someone's like,

36:22

oh, what room are these people

36:24

coming from?

36:26

Another post I

36:26

read called it the mom I threw

36:30

up. Douology.

36:33

It's the red

36:33

door cinematic universe. Monkey

36:36

man is? At first. It's one of

36:36

those What the hell's going on

36:41

movies, you know, but I've never

36:41

had so much fun in a movie

36:44

trying to figure out what is

36:44

going on. The closest comparison

36:48

I think is Oldboy. It's I mean,

36:48

people are saying that it's

36:51

like, it's like an Indian John

36:51

Wick. But it's more like Oldboy

36:55

because he is. It's like a

36:55

revenge movie. And you don't

36:59

quite realize what he's seeking

36:59

vengeance for. Until it jumps

37:05

around a lot. But you don't you

37:05

know, another thing I've heard

37:08

is people are saying monkey man,

37:08

it's like Fight Club. And it's

37:10

not really, I mean, he does. He

37:10

does these underground fighting

37:15

where he wears like a monkey

37:15

mask. But um, but that's just

37:19

kind of part of his training for

37:19

this bigger mission he's got.

37:24

But yeah, it's more like Oldboy

37:24

in and just how this dude?

37:28

insurmountable odds and he kicks

37:28

the crap out of everyone.

37:33

Oh, yeah. No, I

37:33

agree. I feel like it was more

37:36

influenced by Korean revenge

37:36

thrillers rather than, you know,

37:41

kind of the Western action

37:41

movies, although it does have a

37:43

lot of great sequences. And, ya

37:43

know, just, yeah, I felt like

37:50

the story could have been

37:50

tightened up and there was some

37:52

pacing issues. But you know, for

37:52

first movie, I think Dev Patel

37:55

did a really great job, and also

37:55

with the underground fights. I

37:58

love that they got Sharlto

37:58

Copley to be the bombastic MC

38:04

who's like building everybody

38:04

up, but he keeps on shitting on

38:06

Dev Patel's character.

38:08

Love it when

38:08

he shows up whenever he pops up,

38:10

you know, at least this scene is

38:10

gonna be a lot of fun. Oh,

38:14

yeah. Now he

38:14

brings the energy. But ya know,

38:18

I really dug it overall. And it

38:18

did have some pretty memorable

38:21

sequences and fight

38:21

choreography, like the bathroom

38:24

brawl, and the finale was really

38:24

cool. Yeah, no, I dug it, and I

38:30

look forward to whatever Dev

38:30

Patel does next.

38:33

Yep, um,

38:33

speaking of Sharlto Copely and,

38:38

and revenge movies. It's kind of

38:38

surprising that that there's two

38:43

of them coming out the same

38:43

year. I saw Boy Kills World.

38:48

Oh, yeah, I'm

38:48

very excited for that. No, no

38:50

spoilers. It's,

38:52

it takes

38:52

place in a universe. It's kind

38:54

of like The Hunger Games where

38:54

there's like this big government

38:58

who goes and rounds up quote,

38:58

criminals, and has them not not

39:03

even fight it has them executed

39:03

on on a TV show. And the TV show

39:09

that they're being executed on

39:09

is like, it's like high

39:12

production value. It's like,

39:12

it's just meant for like

39:15

entertainment, with like, the

39:15

sponsors and stuff. And Sharlto

39:19

Copely is actually the host of

39:19

the the TV show that executes

39:24

people. So it's a real niche. Yeah. Yeah, he

39:27

does. But um, it's, it's your

39:27

boy Bill Skarsgard. Korea, who

39:33

he plays a character without a

39:33

name kind of like, you know,

39:36

like, you would cut Yeah, like a

39:36

Clint Eastwood or, or, you know,

39:41

John nada, kind of a thing where

39:41

he's got. He has a reason for

39:47

revenge too. And he's training.

39:47

It's kind of a parallel the

39:51

Monkey Man actually he's trained

39:52

to love that his

39:52

inner monologue is H.John

39:55

Benjamin. Well,

39:56

that's the

39:56

thing he's ever since the

39:59

tragedy that happens to him. He

39:59

goes deaf and mute. So and he's

40:04

saying he's I don't remember

40:04

what my real voice sounds like.

40:07

So I took it from my favorite

40:07

video game. So his so his

40:11

internal narration is this you

40:11

know, it's like, oh, and then I

40:14

went after him, you know, it's

40:14

it's pretty crazy but it is.

40:19

It's a lot like monkey man it's

40:19

just and Jessica Roth is like

40:23

the, the opposite assassin of

40:23

him you know from the person

40:27

that he's the person who's trying to get revenge on his Famke Janssen who is like the

40:29

leader of the of the family that

40:34

he's you know, trying to take

40:34

down but yeah, Jessica Roth and

40:37

she wears this helmet. It's kind

40:37

of handy for him because her

40:40

helmet across the front of it

40:40

will show like, you know, get

40:44

out you know, or you know, it'll

40:44

it'll print words so he doesn't

40:48

have to read her lips. It's It's

40:48

hilarious because at one point

40:51

he meets an ally who he's having

40:51

trouble reading his lips. So his

40:56

internal monologue he get the

40:56

guy speaking gibberish and he

41:02

says with his internal

41:02

monologue, so that's that can't

41:04

be what he said. That can't be

41:04

what he said. You'd understand a

41:08

word this one character says

41:08

because he's having trouble

41:10

reading his lips it's pretty

41:10

funny but anyway, yeah, Boy

41:13

Kills World if you like Monkey

41:13

Man, you'll probably like boy

41:15

kills world it's a little more

41:15

over the top than Monkey Man if

41:18

you can believe that. But yeah,

41:18

like you said, we we have a ton

41:22

to talk about. So I'm gonna I'm

41:22

actually quickfire A few new

41:25

things that I saw that, that I

41:25

don't think you guys have. So

41:29

just to get them get them out of

41:29

the way. This is the movie

41:34

Stopmotion. Which is it? It is

41:34

it's, it's really different.

41:40

It's an it is. It's about a

41:40

woman who does stop motion

41:44

movies and her and she works

41:44

with her mother. But she meets

41:50

this little girl who basically

41:50

gives her an idea for her own

41:52

story. So she starts making row

41:52

and of course, the stop motion

41:56

comes to life on its own. But

41:56

it's it's a pretty creepy

41:59

little, little movie. It's

41:59

really inventive too. And it's

42:02

about half Sommet well, a little

42:02

less than half stop motion and

42:05

half like real life. But

42:05

Stopmotion is it's worth a watch

42:10

as well. I saw a movie called

42:10

Horny Teenagers Must Die, which

42:16

you pretty much know what that's

42:16

about. It's about a bunch of

42:20

teenagers who go to the woods,

42:20

and there's a killer out there.

42:24

And every single character in

42:24

this movie has sex and you know,

42:29

it's just like the title says

42:29

Horny Teenagers Must Die. It is

42:34

a killer is actually kind of

42:34

fun. So it is kind of worth it.

42:38

But it just seems like a feature

42:38

length. feature length like

42:42

student movie. So you know, it's

42:42

not super high. But the real.

42:47

The real fun. One of the movies

42:47

that that of the quickfire ones

42:52

I want to do is Sting. Have you

42:52

guys heard about this?

42:55

Oh, yeah, the

42:55

spider movie. Spider movie.

42:58

Yeah,

42:59

it's um, it's

42:59

about this little girl who she

43:03

crawls through the the air

43:03

conditioning ducts in her

43:05

apartment building breaks into

43:05

other people's houses, you know,

43:08

to do whatever. And she finds

43:08

this little spider that right

43:12

from the beginning. You know,

43:12

this spider hatch from the

43:14

meteorite that hit the Earth so

43:14

you know, it's an alien life.

43:16

That's the first boy. So she

43:16

finds it and an alien spider.

43:20

And yeah, and she she names it

43:20

Sting not after the wrestler or

43:24

the rock star, but after the

43:24

little dagger from The Hobbit.

43:27

So he has this little spider and

43:27

she's first she's feeding it

43:33

cockroaches. And then it starts

43:33

growing. And soon cockroaches

43:38

aren't enough for this thing. So

43:38

it turns into like this massive

43:41

giant spider and it's it's a

43:41

giant spider movie. It's got

43:44

this the spirit of like a Roger

43:44

Corman monster movie, but with

43:48

the visual effects and slickness

43:48

of like a Blumhouse movie. So

43:53

yeah, if that's your jam,

43:53

creature features, or if you

43:56

like creature features Sting is

43:56

cool. But another cool thing I

44:00

saw and I know I believe Jacob

44:00

has seen this too Sasquatch

44:04

Sunset.

44:06

Yes. I love that

44:06

movie!

44:08

This is probably the weirdest movie, you're gonna see this here. It's

44:10

done by the guys who did Kumiko,

44:16

the Treasure Hunter.

44:18

Yeah, the Zellner brothers.

44:19

Yeah, the

44:19

Zellner brothers. And it is it.

44:21

It basically is about a family

44:21

of Sasquatches who they go

44:26

through a year in their life and

44:26

there's not much of a story to

44:29

it. Probably the biggest Ark

44:29

there is, is that man is

44:34

encroaching on their land,

44:34

because, you know, all of a

44:36

sudden they start seeing spray

44:36

painted x's on the trees, like

44:40

you know, because the loggers

44:40

are coming kind of a thing you

44:43

know, so they're like, oh, you

44:43

know, and the thing is, two of

44:45

the Sasquatchs are Riley Keough

44:45

and Jesse Eisenberg. And you can

44:51

kind of tell from like their

44:51

eyes, but there is this massive

44:56

Sasquatch makeup, but it really

44:56

kind of tells you what the

44:59

actors can really do. with just

44:59

their eyes and their body

45:01

motions because they kind of

45:01

behave like apes and they

45:04

communicate with like grunts and

45:04

hoots and whistles, you know

45:07

things like that. But it is oh

45:07

my god it is. It's a look into

45:12

Sachi Sasquatch life there is

45:12

full frontal Sasquatch Dong.

45:17

Yes. That's

45:17

all I want. And no

45:21

no, it's not

45:21

what you think Correia this is

45:24

not Bill Paxton and Taking Tiger

45:24

Mountain. These are like, I

45:29

mean, this is just see it.

45:32

Yeah, had me

45:32

at Sasquatch dong. Yeah,

45:35

no, this might

45:35

be the greatest Sasquatch movie

45:37

of all time. Because it's pure,

45:37

unfiltered Sasquatch. Like it's

45:41

just a Sasquatchs living their

45:41

lives, getting attacked by

45:44

animals or doing stupid shit and

45:44

also showing emotion to each

45:50

other. Like what I'd say one of

45:50

the other big arcs of the story

45:53

is that the female Sasquatch,

45:53

becomes pregnant, and that's

45:57

become something they deal with.

45:57

But yeah, though there are so

46:00

many Sasquatch fluids and

46:00

grossness that. It's in this

46:05

movie. It's, it's, it's insane.

46:05

But yeah, it's like a nature

46:09

doc. You know, it's unfiltered.

46:09

Exactly.

46:11

It's shot like a nature doc. It's beautiful, humble locations. And

46:13

it. It it really captures the

46:18

beauty of the forest as well.

46:18

But one of my favorite parts is

46:21

they it to go with the

46:21

encroachment of man. They at one

46:27

point, they come across a

46:27

logging road that comes through

46:30

and they're both like, oh, and

46:30

they they walk out onto this

46:34

road. And they start like pee in

46:34

on it and pooping

46:39

just spraying

46:39

every bodily fluid possible. But

46:43

yeah, you do get to see a baby Sasquatch get born. The beauty. Circle of

46:45

Life. Yeah, it's a it's a crazy

46:50

movie, though. It is. I imagine

46:50

it's a good double feature with

46:53

Hundreds of Beavers which I also

46:53

did see and I loved. Oh, yeah, I

46:57

fucking love Hundreds of Beavers.

46:58

Oh my god. It's a feature length Looney Tunes cartoon. It is so amazing.

47:00

But anyway,

47:03

twice and it's

47:03

made me laughs so hard. I've

47:06

cried.

47:07

It is it's hilarious. We talked enough about Hundreds of Beavers. When

47:09

with Jacob gave his review, I

47:12

just wanted to say I concur with

47:12

everything. Jacob said about

47:16

Hundreds of Beavers.

47:17

Thank you. Thank you. Well,

47:19

I got a couple

47:19

of rapid fires. Because I've

47:22

been playing catch up. I finally

47:22

saw beekeeper and you guys were

47:25

right. That movie is just a tech

47:25

the hive. Fun is fuck dude.

47:30

Anybody

47:31

who doesn't

47:31

like Beekeeper is just they just

47:33

don't get the joke. Like the

47:33

movie gets the joke.

47:36

Yeah, our

47:36

friends over at Lethal Lullabies

47:39

did a did a special screening

47:39

for friends and we had a blast

47:43

with that. All sitting in in our

47:43

pajamas and whatnot. I got the

47:49

new 4k for Cutthroat Island.

47:49

Cutthroat Island just had the I

47:54

think it really just suffered

47:54

from just like bad financial

47:58

shit behind the scenes and stuff

47:58

because that movie is a lot of

48:01

fun. And basically Pirates of

48:01

the Caribbean rip ripped it off

48:04

hard. So that's all I gotta say

48:04

about Cutthroat Island. Godzilla

48:09

X Kong Got me to finally watch

48:09

the 1970s and 80s King Kong

48:13

movies, which I gotta say, King

48:13

Kong 76 is a lot of fun. But

48:18

King Kong Lives is fucking

48:18

unhinged. You have a lady Kong.

48:22

You have a Kong birth scene.

48:22

See, like, it sounds like that

48:25

would make for a good double

48:25

feature with Sasquatch sunset. I

48:27

gotta say

48:28

that. No,

48:28

it's King Kong Escapes where

48:31

there's a robot Kong, right?

48:31

Yeah, that's

48:34

one. Yeah,

48:34

King Kong lives is the sequel to

48:36

The 76 Oh, God, no. de la Renta

48:36

swan. Yeah, where Linda Hamilton

48:41

plays a scientist who's studying

48:41

a comatose because he got

48:45

straight merkt at the end of 76.

48:45

So it's like, oh, yeah, no, he's

48:48

in a comatose state. But also we

48:48

found a female Kong so like, you

48:52

know, now you're dealing with a

48:52

horny Kong and it's just like,

48:55

it's unhinge. Dude, that is a

48:55

weird movie. I highly recommend

48:59

it. I loved it. And I did my

48:59

lesbians doing crime double

49:03

feature of Love Lies Bleeding

49:03

and Drive-Away Dolls. opposite

49:08

end of spectrum when it comes to

49:08

vibes but the vibes were

49:11

immaculate with both. I head

49:11

over heels over both movies. I

49:17

can't recommend them enough. Did

49:17

you guys see Roadhouse?

49:21

I did not.

49:22

I did not. Ah.

49:24

Well, this is just gonna be Correia bitching that because we all know how

49:25

obsessed I am with Road House.

49:29

So Road House remake happened.

49:29

That was a thing. And there's we

49:34

all know how obsessed I am with

49:34

Road House. It is unhealthy, how

49:38

much I love the the original

49:38

Patrick Swayze movie, so

49:42

obviously tried to go in with as

49:42

much of an open mind as possible

49:45

and the main things that you

49:45

need to know going into Road

49:48

House is this is not Patrick

49:48

Swayze Dalton. This is a very

49:52

different Dalton. I love the

49:52

Miami setting. I love the setup

49:56

with a lot of that. There's a

49:56

lot of really weird choices that

50:00

are made like instead of having

50:00

a Sam Elliott character like the

50:04

kind of that character is kind

50:04

of replaced with a with a child

50:09

whose it feels like her sole

50:09

purpose was to point out that

50:14

this story is kind of like a

50:14

Western and when I say that she

50:18

does that I mean she literally

50:18

says this is like a Western four

50:23

fucking different times which

50:23

was very frustrating because it

50:25

didn't need to be meta like

50:25

that. The fight scenes are

50:29

pretty good. I there's some good

50:29

stuff, but there's some like

50:32

choices with it's so different

50:32

that some of the Road House

50:37

references just like don't work

50:37

or they feel like they're forced

50:40

in like this was written as a different movie and then someone's like, let's turn this

50:42

into a Road House remake. And

50:45

they kind of do that. None of

50:45

the philosophy of the original

50:48

movies is in this. Conor

50:48

McGregor though, is a lot of fun

50:53

because he's literally walking

50:53

around like a live action Popeye

50:57

villain and just like being

50:57

weird and unhinged. That's how

51:01

he walks

51:01

in real life.

51:01

And that's how he sounds do you

51:04

ever see him? If you see him in

51:04

the ring at a UFC? He's but

51:08

like, they give him like the cheesiest fucking lines? It's so weird. Oh

51:09

man, as we all know, obsessed

51:15

with Road House I am and also

51:15

obsessed with the line when

51:18

Patrick Swayze is fighting the

51:18

dude the guy who looks Swayze

51:21

dead in the eyes goes I used to

51:21

fuck guys like you would prison

51:24

during the end big fight scene

51:24

that's replaced in this where

51:28

they're fighting in the in the

51:28

in the Road House, which is

51:31

which is called Road House. Like

51:31

the actual Road House is called

51:34

the Road House. Which, of

51:34

course, they talk about in the

51:37

movie, but they're fighting and

51:37

Conor McGregor slam Jake

51:41

Gyllenhaal's head on a piano and

51:41

Jake Gyllenhaal goes this pianos

51:45

out of time and Conor McGregor

51:45

is like I take it sounds

51:47

perfect, and I'm like, that's

51:47

what they're placed. That's what

51:51

you were placed that I used to

51:51

fuck guys like you would prison

51:53

line with? Come on guys so Road

51:53

House. I'm it's gonna have its

51:58

fans. It's not a bad movie. It's

51:58

fun. It's just, you really got

52:03

to not forget the original

52:03

movie, but just kind of go in

52:06

just knowing like, this isn't

52:06

trying to be Road House at all.

52:11

It's doing its own thing, and

52:11

that's fine for for most people.

52:15

My question

52:15

is, how do they replace the Jeff

52:18

Healey band?

52:20

With a lot of

52:20

various bands they have. They

52:22

have multiple bands playing.

52:24

There's no house band?

52:25

No, they have

52:25

a bunch of random ones. There's

52:28

one point where it's a band

52:28

playing Sublime, which was like,

52:31

Cool. Yeah, like they did like

52:31

their own like kind of like

52:35

Florida cover of like, Sublime.

52:35

I dug that. But, of course, he

52:40

can't talk Jeff, heed that Jeff

52:40

Healey band, they were so good,

52:43

but like,

52:43

and also the

52:43

Jeff Healey the blind guy

52:46

playing guitar on his lap. It's

52:46

just such an visual gimmick. I

52:50

mean, I know that's how he

52:50

played guitar. So it wasn't

52:53

written for the movie. But um,

52:53

yeah, it's just so memorable. I

52:59

mean, we're talking about an hour.

53:01

Yeah. Plus, the

53:01

band has that whole arc in the

53:03

original Road House where they

53:03

learn to get better and not get

53:06

bottles thrown at them.

53:08

Well, and

53:08

that's the thing too, I think. I

53:11

think there's a lot of stuff

53:11

where it's like, it feels like

53:14

there's an escalation. But there

53:14

I don't the motivation is weird.

53:19

Like the, like in the original.

53:19

It's like, this place is a dump,

53:22

it needs to get cleaned up. And

53:22

this one, it's like, no, this is

53:25

a nice place, but these bad guys

53:25

keep coming in and so like, it's

53:28

just like a weird, like, the

53:28

escalation doesn't feel like it

53:30

matches often, but then it also

53:30

kind of does. It's weird. Like,

53:34

instead of Sam Elliot's

53:34

character being killed in this

53:37

one, like, bookstore gets burned

53:37

down. And then like, all of a

53:41

sudden, like, Jake Gyllenhaal's

53:41

Dalton becomes a serial killer,

53:46

like straight up like just he

53:46

just starts murdering people

53:50

like a serial killer. And I was

53:50

like, What the fuck? This is not

53:54

my Dalton. And that's fine

53:54

because he's not trying to be

53:57

that Dalton so that that and

53:57

that's where it comes because

53:59

like the original Road House was

53:59

all about philosophy and like,

54:03

you know, be cool until it's

54:03

time to not be cool. And this

54:06

isn't that movie, which again,

54:06

is fine for most people. I just,

54:09

you know, it was fun and fun

54:09

moments.

54:13

The Ministry

54:13

of Ungentlemanly Warfare now,

54:16

Guy Ritchie's Inglorious Bastards?

54:18

Yes, that's

54:18

totally what it is. It's like a

54:20

naval Inglorious Basterds and

54:20

killing Nazis. We've said it

54:26

before, but it bears repeating.

54:26

killing Nazis is never not fun

54:31

to watch. So have you guys seen

54:31

Ministry of Ungentlemanly

54:35

Warfare ? Yeah, it is. I mean,

54:35

it's killing Nazis. And the

54:40

thing is, it is supposedly a

54:40

true story. I don't know how

54:43

many liberties they took. But it

54:43

is about the guy who Ian Fleming

54:49

who Ian Fleming is a character

54:49

in this. It's about the guy that

54:53

he based his James Bond

54:53

character on so just one of

54:58

those, you know, basically

54:58

improvisors always gets done.

55:02

You know, they even say they're

55:02

like, at one point, the mission

55:06

gets more complicated. They're

55:06

like, they're like, Okay, we, we

55:11

tried to recall the mission, but

55:11

we couldn't get a hold of him.

55:15

But just so you know, the reason

55:15

we pick these people is because

55:18

they don't follow orders, you

55:18

know, and at that point, you're

55:20

like, okay, they're gonna get

55:20

this done no matter what. But

55:24

yeah, it's, it's, it's basically

55:24

a rogue group that Churchill

55:30

sends out and he tells him, he's

55:30

like, if you're arrested by the

55:33

British, you're gonna go to

55:33

jail. If you're caught by the

55:36

Nazis, you're going to be

55:36

tortured and killed. You know,

55:39

no one knows about this mission.

55:39

I'm not even I'm even going to

55:42

deny it, you know, once you walk

55:42

out this room, but this is what

55:46

you need to do. And, you know,

55:46

their mission is basically to

55:49

blow up this supply boat that

55:49

supplies the U boats, with

55:54

supplies, so that the Americans

55:54

can get across the Atlantic to

55:58

help in the war. So it's a very

55:58

vital mission that they're on.

56:01

But uh, yeah, it's it's crazy

56:01

killing Nazis. But

56:06

it's fun.

56:06

Like, like it's done. Yeah. Is

56:08

it? Is it just like a fun dad

56:08

movie? Or is it like a fun like,

56:11

action? You know what I mean?

56:11

It's I

56:14

don't even think it's a dad movie. I mean, it's. Yeah, it's just a fun

56:16

action movie. It's just you

56:20

know, nothing

56:21

against dad movies. We all know how much I love a good dad movie. You know,

56:23

Ford versus Ferrari is great.

56:27

You know, but like, there's a

56:27

different level between like a

56:30

dad World War Two action movie

56:30

and like an action movie.

56:34

This is this

56:34

is Guy Ritchie trying to do

56:37

Tarantino I think it has a

56:37

little more of a sense of humor

56:41

than Tarantino.

56:42

What? So it's

56:42

Guy Ritchie doing Guy Ritchie

56:44

that because I mean, that's

56:44

basically how he got his start

56:47

was like, Hey, I'm British

56:47

Tarantino, you know?

56:50

Well, that's

56:50

the funny thing is Guy Ritchie,

56:53

I he played around with a few

56:53

things. But now I think he's

56:56

back to making Guy Ritchie

56:56

movies. At least with this

57:00

movie. I don't know what he'll

57:00

do next. But yeah, I

57:02

mean, he's been kind of in that mode for a bit with like The Gentleman and

57:04

and, you know, those type of

57:08

movies. It really does feel like

57:08

he is like, Alright, I'm going

57:11

yeah, I'm going back to what I

57:11

would have known for. I think

57:14

Aladdin broke him a little bit.

57:14

Yeah, yeah.

57:17

So yeah, Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and let's end with

57:19

killing Nazis. So we'll this

57:24

this has been a big catch up

57:24

episode because, like I say, we

57:27

missed an episode in the wrong

57:27

time of the year, but here we

57:30

go. We're all caught up now. Our

57:30

theme song is by Restless

57:36

Spirits ago, give them a listen.

57:36

And our artwork is by Chris

57:39

Fisher. Go give him a like. You

57:39

can find us on any of the

57:43

socials under Eye On Horror

57:43

[email protected] which is the

57:47

website we all call home. And

57:47

yeah, reach out to us at any

57:52

time. Let us know. What did we

57:52

miss anything that you that you

57:57

seen that? We didn't? Do you

57:57

like these ketchup? episodes? I

58:02

do. I really like these and not

58:02

that I have anything against our

58:05

topic episodes. And I definitely

58:05

don't have anything against our

58:07

interview episodes. But I like

58:07

these just you know, sitting

58:10

around and bullshitting about

58:10

movies. You know,

58:13

it's what it's

58:13

all about. That's our logline.

58:15

We Eye On Horror sitting around

58:15

bullshitting about movies.

58:19

It's what we

58:19

do. It's funny, we always joke

58:22

that and I'm not saying we're

58:22

going to but if we ever do a

58:24

Patreon, we're going to just

58:24

record all of the times that we

58:27

are not recording where we just

58:27

sit around and bullshit. This

58:31

bullshit. The stuff that doesn't

58:31

make the podcast is just as

58:35

interesting.

58:37

Oh, it's not.

58:37

We're not interesting.

58:40

No, I said

58:40

just as interesting. I didn't

58:43

say that. The podcast itself is

58:43

interesting. Alright, everybody,

58:48

we will see you in a couple of

58:48

weeks, hopefully, unless we take

58:52

an unplanned break again. But

58:52

uh, yeah, we'll see in a couple

58:55

of weeks. So for me, James Jay Edwards.

58:57

I'm Jacob Davison.

58:58

And I'm Jonathan Correia.

58:59

Keep your Eye On Horror.
