00:00:01.689 --> 00:00:03.910
Imagine how much simpler your life would be if

00:00:03.910 --> 00:00:07.830
you didn't just binge watch all the things. How

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:09.390
hard it would have been for me to watch a whole

00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:12.330
season of American Dad today. If I had to get

00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:15.050
up and put four separate discs into my PlayStation.

00:00:16.309 --> 00:00:19.510
Completely different ballgame. Yeah, yeah. My

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:22.609
Apple Watch wouldn't be harassing me. Hey, are

00:00:22.609 --> 00:00:26.250
you dead? Can you stand up and let me know you're

00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:31.710
alive? Welcome to the show, people. Welcome to

00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:45.549
the show. Eat my shorts. So here is to conversation.

00:00:46.869 --> 00:01:11.349
Tranquility Base here. Vehicle has landed. Welcome

00:01:11.349 --> 00:01:16.950
to the Cash Exchange. Welcome. What's up? Not

00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:22.150
much. I am off today, so I've been doing a whole

00:01:22.150 --> 00:01:23.829
lot of nothing. I've watched, I think, a season

00:01:23.829 --> 00:01:25.870
and a half, probably, of American Dad throughout

00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:30.909
my day. Oh, yeah? Mm -hmm. Doing super productive

00:01:30.909 --> 00:01:34.209
things. That's fun. Nothing wrong with a lazy

00:01:34.209 --> 00:01:38.409
day. I mean, it's better than being online and

00:01:38.409 --> 00:01:41.840
learning literally anything. That happens on

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.079
there right now. That's true. A lot of silliness.

00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:49.260
You are shielding yourself from that. I'm just

00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:52.739
out here living my best life. Best I can. Still

00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:56.540
in H -Town. Still here. All of a sudden the thing

00:01:56.540 --> 00:01:59.480
says Florida because you just get sporadic rains.

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:03.900
I was out today and bright and sunny and then

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:08.199
not even a minute later it just starts downpouring

00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.180
for like maybe 10 minutes and then just completely

00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:16.819
went away. So I think Houston's having an identity

00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:19.219
crisis right now. I heard Dallas is doing the

00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:22.439
same. We haven't gotten a drop of rain in Austin.

00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:26.419
Well, lucky you. Our little bubble is shielded.

00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.280
I don't mind the rain. It's not been crazy hot,

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.659
so it's not that super sticky rain. Oh, it's

00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:37.360
sticky as hell here. So I definitely mind the

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.379
rain. Houston's always like that, though. Yeah,

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:43.300
that's gross. Year -round sticky. All right,

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:45.479
you ready to get into your three things? Let's

00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.460
go. What do you got? What do nuclear waste, cheerleaders,

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.379
and summer camps have in common? Nuclear waste,

00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.960
cheerleaders, and summer camps. Correctamundo.

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:04.699
They were all episodes in the Disney Plus collection

00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:07.879
of The Simpsons Predicts. What is that based

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.550
on? Absolutely nothing, but I can think of Simpsons

00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:13.330
episodes that revolve around all three. Yeah,

00:03:13.349 --> 00:03:19.770
like Blinky, the three -eyed fish? And when Bart

00:03:19.770 --> 00:03:23.150
goes all Lord of the Flies at Camp Krusty? Yeah.

00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:26.889
Or when Homer goes to Rock and Roll Camp. Yeah.

00:03:27.909 --> 00:03:31.030
Are mascots considered cheerleaders? I was about

00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:32.949
to say, I maybe don't have a cheerleading episode

00:03:32.949 --> 00:03:35.710
for The Simpsons. I mean, there are lots of them.

00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:38.780
I'm sure there is one. There's like 30. Six seasons?

00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.259
There's an episode where Lisa tries out for a

00:03:41.259 --> 00:03:44.280
cheerleader to be a cheerleader with the cool

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.479
girls. Is that where she tries on all of her

00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.099
identities because she can't be a cheerleader?

00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:50.960
So she's like goth Lisa and hippie Lisa? I think

00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:56.699
so, yeah. I do love that. So it's not The Simpsons?

00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.680
It is not The Simpsons, no. Not this go -around.

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.960
One day we'll get around to that episode. So

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.520
I'm sure we got a lot to say. Can we? Because

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.129
I'm... I don't know where they're at with the

00:04:09.129 --> 00:04:14.969
commentary on... Is that legally safe? I don't

00:04:14.969 --> 00:04:17.250
know how that works. If you have a podcast episode

00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:19.970
on The Simpsons. I mean, it's all fair use, yeah.

00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:25.089
In that case, yeah, we could have a whole Stuff

00:04:25.089 --> 00:04:29.610
You Should Know worth of Simpsons episode. Keep

00:04:29.610 --> 00:04:40.069
an eye out. They are... Common themes in horror

00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:45.009
movies. Boom. But you knew that. We were just

00:04:45.009 --> 00:04:47.810
doing a little playlet here. Because if you stick

00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:49.970
around to the end of the episode, we have an

00:04:49.970 --> 00:04:53.990
announcement to make. That I, particularly, am

00:04:53.990 --> 00:04:58.290
pretty excited about. Me too. That is correct.

00:04:58.430 --> 00:05:02.490
Low budget, especially low budget horror. I think

00:05:02.490 --> 00:05:06.079
that most... Most horror movies that want to

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.620
be taken seriously are going to probably steer

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:14.660
clear of like nuclear waste situations, killer

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:17.920
cheerleaders, vampire cheerleaders, summer camp.

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.319
You have Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees, Camp

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:28.779
Crystal, Camp Crystal, Camp Crystal Lake. But

00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:32.939
that was like the. big one and then everything

00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:37.519
else just copied after that yeah but yeah today

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.220
is about low budget horror movies how much do

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:43.259
you know about them i i like to think that i

00:05:43.259 --> 00:05:47.319
know a good amount i have a a fascination with

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.600
low budget horror specifically and it started

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.220
five -ish probably years ago because i remember

00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:59.180
whenever i think it was during covid um Hulu

00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:01.160
put out this like series of shorts because they

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.180
did a little like film festival and it was called

00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:06.759
Huluween. All of these episodes were three minutes

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.579
long and they were just low budget silliness,

00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:15.079
but they were so, they were so fun. And so it

00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.639
just got me on this kick of like, honestly, a

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.500
lot of that is probably because after I watched

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.699
all of them, Hulu was like, you might also like,

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.040
and I did, I did like, I can't even think of

00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.160
a good, like ridiculous one. But one that keeps

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.920
getting recommended to me on Hulu specifically

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.019
is called Slother House. It's a killer sloth

00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:38.259
in a sorority house, which I'm pretty psyched

00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:42.660
to watch this year. Did that pop up in my research?

00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:51.660
No, it did not. But I do have a bunch of movies

00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:56.500
that are in that realm. Yeah, I got the same

00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:59.629
thing. I recently watched a movie that you suggested

00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:04.410
on Hulu. And yeah, ever since then, it's been

00:07:04.410 --> 00:07:10.649
the same genre and the same caliber that that

00:07:10.649 --> 00:07:13.829
movie held is now filling my recommendations.

00:07:14.029 --> 00:07:16.290
Part of that is probably because we're at the

00:07:16.290 --> 00:07:18.029
end of September, so we're getting into October,

00:07:18.209 --> 00:07:21.269
Halloween. So I'm sure they're really pushing

00:07:21.269 --> 00:07:24.709
a lot of that stuff right now because it's what?

00:07:25.129 --> 00:07:27.370
I mean, it's the time of year people are most

00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:32.430
interested in that. But some of the just based

00:07:32.430 --> 00:07:37.529
on the title of these movies and the cover art

00:07:37.529 --> 00:07:42.329
alone, it's just there's a lot of not very well

00:07:42.329 --> 00:07:47.569
people in this world. Absolutely. 100%. I think

00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:50.209
one of the biggest indicators of the fact that

00:07:50.209 --> 00:07:54.029
there are a lot of unwell people are how obscenely

00:07:54.029 --> 00:07:56.279
quick. people are to make a horror movie about

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.079
things that have just gone into the public domain

00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.060
the amount of turnaround time between steamboat

00:08:01.060 --> 00:08:03.639
willie going into the public domain and mousetrap

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:08.620
insane they were ready yeah and so now now we

00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:15.759
have a plethora of twin movies that are battling

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.459
it out for which one can be worse yeah i've heard

00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:23.339
that what is mount mouse house house of mouse

00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:27.399
what is it I think there might be a third one.

00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.079
This might be a triplet situation. Because there's

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.320
something, there's another one about. There's,

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.039
what is it, Screamboat? There's Screamboat, yeah.

00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.720
Hold on. Screamboat did get a 50 % on Rotten

00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.539
Tomatoes, which I think is kind of commendable,

00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:46.340
given what it is. Maybe not. I don't know what

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:50.200
I'm thinking of. But there are, so two Mickey

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.870
Mouse horror movies, two Popeye. horror movies

00:08:53.870 --> 00:08:58.870
mean one the grinch horror movie i know i'm missing

00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:02.149
some i just saw them on peacock because a bunch

00:09:02.149 --> 00:09:05.529
of them are on peacock now yeah and i cannot

00:09:05.529 --> 00:09:10.149
think of what they are imitating it depends on

00:09:10.149 --> 00:09:15.029
kind of what kinds of story or parody you're

00:09:15.029 --> 00:09:17.470
looking at because there's a couple of like cinderella

00:09:17.470 --> 00:09:22.110
ones there are uh five tooth fairy ones there's

00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.539
Just all kinds of, uh, there's two Winnie the

00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:29.980
Poohs. Oh yeah. Blood and honey and bloodier

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:31.779
and honeyer. That's not the actual title. I just

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:34.059
don't remember. That's the only thing I'm ever

00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:38.039
going to know it as. Uh, and then, yeah, there's

00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.679
a, uh, I think there was a Alice in Wonderland.

00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:47.240
There's one. I can see the picture, but it's

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.309
like fuzzy. I know as soon as I get off here

00:09:50.309 --> 00:09:51.750
and I look at them, I'll be like, damn, I wish

00:09:51.750 --> 00:09:54.990
I'd mentioned that. They pretty recently made

00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:58.649
a Jack and Jill one. Jack and Jill on Murder

00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:02.110
Hill or something like that. Again, probably

00:10:02.110 --> 00:10:04.190
not the actual title, but that's the only thing

00:10:04.190 --> 00:10:07.610
I'm going to know it as. I mean, I will give

00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:10.370
them points for creativity, though, because,

00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:14.850
I mean, not so much just taking a character and

00:10:14.850 --> 00:10:18.679
making them murderous, but... There are some

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:23.100
that have some thought put into them. Like for

00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:26.080
Blood and Honey with Piglet, they just, they

00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.620
did a 180. And instead of Piglet being this tiny

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:39.580
little pig, it is a massive tusked hog. I need

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:42.779
you to watch the sequel because I think what

00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:45.480
it does is very interesting. It gives like a

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.500
background to all of the Hundred Acre Woods beings.

00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:54.460
Okay. Yeah, I'll have to watch it with Emily

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:58.240
when I get back. So, I don't know about you,

00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:04.059
but for me personally, one of the expected perks,

00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.379
especially when access was few and far between

00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:14.240
as a young 'un. It was never like a guarantee,

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:18.720
but 99 out of 100 times it was the case that

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.840
there would be boobs in any low budget horror.

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:27.879
Sure. Because it's a layup. And so I don't want

00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.620
to say that's where my love started or that's

00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:33.659
why my love started for these types of movies,

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:37.899
but it definitely helped. Yeah. I know. I mean,

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.559
errant boobs just out of nowhere. can can save

00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.620
some of the worst projects i i don't know that

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:50.759
i share that perspective but i can understand

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.159
it i don't know that i've ever i think that's

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:59.559
like the hallmark of a like summer camp if not

00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.639
if not all of them because it's not necessarily

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.980
a thing that i've paid attention for or looked

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:09.080
out for but like definitely the summer camp movies

00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.870
are just It'll be cheerleaders in the locker

00:12:11.870 --> 00:12:17.309
room. It'll be getting it on in the woods. It'll

00:12:17.309 --> 00:12:21.889
be a woman being attacked by someone and they

00:12:21.889 --> 00:12:25.049
throw nuclear waste on her and her shirt dissolves.

00:12:25.309 --> 00:12:28.230
That's where the creativity really shines. Yeah.

00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:32.570
In these movies. It's just how they show the

00:12:32.570 --> 00:12:35.450
boobs. How creatively they can display boobs.

00:12:35.590 --> 00:12:41.360
Yes. Yes. That's not. For the final edit of this

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.980
episode, but that might be a good rating system.

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.860
Use of boobs. That would definitely be a category

00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:52.480
that would come into play for my reviews. All

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.100
right. So I know we are mostly basing this around

00:12:58.100 --> 00:13:03.500
bad, low -budget horror movies, but is there

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:05.720
such thing as a good low -budget horror movie?

00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:09.309
100%. Yeah. Can you name any off the top of your

00:13:09.309 --> 00:13:14.190
head? Saw was a film school project. Blair Witch

00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:17.549
was a found footage movie that required basically

00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:21.950
no budget outside of the people in it. There's

00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:26.049
a couple more that I think were the first of

00:13:26.049 --> 00:13:28.809
a franchise in the 90s or the early 2000s that

00:13:28.809 --> 00:13:32.169
were made to just be this little one -off campy

00:13:32.169 --> 00:13:35.559
thing that turned into franchises. But because

00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.500
they've gotten so big, you don't really remember

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.919
them for what they were. Did Final Destination

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.720
start like that? I think so, yeah. Paranormal

00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.320
Activity. The whole thing was just basically

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.600
a webcam in 2005. If you had to guess, how much

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:57.120
did it cost to make Paranormal Activity in 2007?

00:13:57.899 --> 00:14:02.659
I watched it fairly recently. And so I know the

00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:06.840
whole thing takes... entirely takes place inside

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.019
of one house, which has to save on production

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:11.620
costs. There's only maybe four people in the

00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:14.379
entire movie because it's the couple and then

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:18.059
the paranormal researcher person that they bring

00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:20.620
in towards the end and then they don't. Is there

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:25.259
a priest? It's not a priest. It's like a discount

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:31.000
version of the... What are their names? Patrick

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.519
Wilson and Vera Farmiga. uh, like, uh, exorcists.

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.639
Yes. They essentially bring in like an exercise.

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.440
Yes. Uh, the Warrens, they basically bring in

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.340
a version of the Warrens. Uh, but yeah, I don't

00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:50.000
think they ever show the entity. So I would imagine

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.100
it's a very cheap movie to make. Uh, I'm going

00:14:54.100 --> 00:15:00.740
to guess, uh, a hundred thousand on the high

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:05.830
side. Oh, oh, You sweet summer child. For a movie

00:15:05.830 --> 00:15:12.870
that was released in 2007 with a IMDB score of

00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:16.509
only 6 .3 out of 10, which I was pretty surprised

00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:22.830
by, but Paranormal Activity has a, it is 83 %

00:15:22.830 --> 00:15:30.289
fresh from the critics, 57 % from audience. I

00:15:30.289 --> 00:15:33.169
think that might be due. to maybe being a little

00:15:33.169 --> 00:15:37.429
bitter about the sequels. Okay. Because whenever

00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:40.570
Paranormal Activity came out, the first one,

00:15:40.730 --> 00:15:43.669
it was a big deal. And people were like, have

00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:46.730
you seen it yet? I saw it in theaters. I jumped.

00:15:46.870 --> 00:15:52.889
It was terrifying. And yeah, it felt weird being

00:15:52.889 --> 00:15:56.289
home after that. You just start hearing creaks

00:15:56.289 --> 00:16:00.419
and noises. What was that? Yeah. No, it definitely

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:02.639
did its job. So I think the critics are more

00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.720
on par with how people actually feel. 57 % for

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.960
audiences is really lower than I would have expected.

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:17.879
$15 ,000 to film the entirety. You know, I would

00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.899
have dinged it a bit in my rating on it because

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:24.980
I was genuinely rooting for the main guy to die.

00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.519
The whole movie. Micah? Yes. You don't like Micah?

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:31.360
Why? Not at all. He sucks. Just start to finish.

00:16:31.419 --> 00:16:34.340
He sucks. Is it because he's trying to gaslight

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:38.419
Katie the whole time? Yes. Yeah. Well, you're

00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:40.679
not hearing anything. Fine. I'll put up these

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.860
cameras. Oh, did you see that? Like, yeah. I

00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:45.500
mean, it was just, it was the wind. I don't know.

00:16:45.940 --> 00:16:50.679
In our living room. I was rooting for him to

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.559
die the whole, the whole run time. I mean, he

00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.360
did. At the end. Eventually. Yeah. Spoiler alert.

00:16:58.079 --> 00:17:00.419
That's where they blew their $15 ,000. To a movie

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:02.580
that came out 18 years ago. Do we still have

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:05.519
to do spoiler alerts? People are, they're whiny.

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:10.259
Blair Witch Project. So, 1999. Another huge deal.

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:15.099
6 .5 on IMDb. And I think this one is a product

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:19.920
of so many parodies that came after it. Is why

00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.180
maybe the rating isn't as high as we thought

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:29.119
it would be. 86%. Critics, 57 % audience again.

00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:32.319
Oh, interesting. And again, I think that is probably

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.400
because of fatigue from everything that parodied

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.420
it, everything that copied it since then. And

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:39.900
it wasn't the first one. It was the biggest one

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:43.799
of found footage movies. Yeah. They were everywhere.

00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:50.779
First found footage. There was one specific movie

00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:53.440
and it was a very like small scene in it that

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.640
kind of ruined found footage movies for me. What?

00:17:57.259 --> 00:18:00.140
So there's a scene in, I want to say it's like

00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:04.079
VHS two, which all of the VHSs are found footage

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.400
in essentially like they go into this hoarder's

00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.460
house and it's just stacks and stacks and stacks

00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:15.079
of VHSs. Um, the particular one that annoys the

00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.559
absolute hell out of me is that the opening VHS

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.289
tape, is a dude recording with like meta smart

00:18:22.289 --> 00:18:28.930
glasses. What is the process for taking a video

00:18:28.930 --> 00:18:32.109
on your smart glasses? Because it like shows

00:18:32.109 --> 00:18:34.190
him in the mirror with his little like blinking

00:18:34.190 --> 00:18:38.690
red light on his Austin Powers gigantic glasses.

00:18:39.829 --> 00:18:44.009
What is the process for making this video translating

00:18:44.009 --> 00:18:48.519
it to a VHS? How does that happen? He's like

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.980
a hipster. You remember when vinyls weren't a

00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:54.720
thing? And then people would be like, oh, I got

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.819
this song on vinyl. Have you heard it on vinyl?

00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:01.319
The clicks and pops. That's how you know it's

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:05.160
real music, the vinyl. So maybe it's like that

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.839
kind of situation. But I will tell you, finding

00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:16.599
a functioning VCR in 2020s. Next to impossible

00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.200
unless you want to shell out some big money for

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.819
it. I feel like that can't be like it's got to

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:25.460
be in like thrift stores and stuff. Oh, that's

00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:30.119
where we got ours. And we paid like 20 bucks

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:35.480
for it. Yeah. And it we just hobble it along.

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:42.019
Yeah. Yeah. We bought it for old home home videos

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:47.880
that are on VHSs. And. The tapes seem fine, but

00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.880
you're constantly getting it's, oh, it's off

00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.740
track. Oh, it's this, it's that. Oh, it's just

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:56.099
going to static in your ear for 30 seconds and

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:57.759
then it's going to start playing again. But to

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.940
buy them new, you're looking at like 500 bucks.

00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:03.279
That's ridiculous. I was looking at, so earlier

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.720
today I was looking for VHS copies, DVD copies

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.099
of like the shows that I am most likely to go

00:20:12.099 --> 00:20:16.279
rewatch. I was looking for The Simpsons specifically

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.920
because I very much like The Simpsons. Don't

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.740
want to keep all of my subscription services

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:25.859
forever, especially because the only thing I

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:28.220
think I use Disney Plus for is The Simpsons.

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.019
Yeah. To buy. They're expensive as hell, aren't

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:37.619
they? They discontinued DVDs at season 21. So

00:20:37.619 --> 00:20:43.380
there's not even DVDs these days for The Simpsons.

00:20:44.390 --> 00:20:46.970
There might be more reason than that. But to

00:20:46.970 --> 00:20:50.049
get seasons 1 through 20, you were looking at

00:20:50.049 --> 00:20:56.670
a minimum of $450, $60. Yep. Which is absurd

00:20:56.670 --> 00:20:59.450
because we're still in a place where no one is

00:20:59.450 --> 00:21:07.190
buying DVDs. I can get you sporadic DVDs. It

00:21:07.190 --> 00:21:10.269
might be a disc from season 2. It might be two

00:21:10.269 --> 00:21:14.650
discs from season 4. It might be... A non -functioning

00:21:14.650 --> 00:21:18.869
disc from Season 7? I got them somewhere. The

00:21:18.869 --> 00:21:21.430
ones that I was looking at, the only point to

00:21:21.430 --> 00:21:22.970
their credit was that the ones I was looking

00:21:22.970 --> 00:21:26.349
at did have every one of the The Simpsons -shaped

00:21:26.349 --> 00:21:30.049
seasons, and those were the best. Yeah. Where

00:21:30.049 --> 00:21:30.970
it's all the family plus... They came and they

00:21:30.970 --> 00:21:34.210
asked to put on a shelf, but yeah. Worth it.

00:21:34.529 --> 00:21:36.509
I can have a whole shelf of just The Simpsons.

00:21:36.769 --> 00:21:39.869
And the annoying accordion thing you'd have to

00:21:39.869 --> 00:21:43.930
pull out to get a disc. Imagine how much simpler

00:21:43.930 --> 00:21:47.069
your life would be if you didn't just binge watch

00:21:47.069 --> 00:21:49.849
all the things. How hard it would have been for

00:21:49.849 --> 00:21:51.630
me to watch a whole season of American Dad today.

00:21:52.089 --> 00:21:55.130
If I had to get up and put four separate discs

00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:58.369
into my PlayStation. Completely different ballgame.

00:21:59.069 --> 00:22:03.029
Yeah, yeah. My Apple Watch wouldn't be harassing

00:22:03.029 --> 00:22:06.849
me. Hey, are you dead? Can you stand up and let

00:22:06.849 --> 00:22:16.980
me know you're alive? By the way, first, what

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:19.599
is regarded as the first found footage film is

00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:27.339
Cannibal Holocaust. Okay. Which was a found footage

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:32.619
film of them supposedly rescued out of the jungle

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:39.259
in South America somewhere. The director wanted

00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:44.509
to sell it. So hard that it was a real movie

00:22:44.509 --> 00:22:49.130
that he made the actors go into hiding for a

00:22:49.130 --> 00:22:55.490
little while after the movie came out. And that

00:22:55.490 --> 00:23:01.309
caused people to just assume that this movie

00:23:01.309 --> 00:23:06.269
was real. He got brought into court on charges

00:23:06.269 --> 00:23:10.019
like he was on his way to go to prison. He had

00:23:10.019 --> 00:23:12.980
to bring the people into court and say it was

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:16.960
a movie. These people are alive. And it's still

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:21.680
it's banned in a lot of countries still. I have

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:26.779
not seen it. Will not watch it. But like I. I

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:29.420
can understand why it would be banned. Oh, an

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:32.319
actual actual people got hurt and animals died

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.240
during the making of Cannibal Holocaust. Can

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.640
you say can you say Holocaust on YouTube? We

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:42.480
have to bleep this out? I think bleeping it might

00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:44.819
be worse in the same way that you can do, like,

00:23:44.859 --> 00:23:50.660
she was unalived. Yeah. That is pretty stupid.

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:52.400
They need to change that rule. Like, it is what

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.240
it is. Shouldn't sugarcoat murder. Do we know

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.140
that it's a rule, though? Or did a bunch of people

00:23:58.140 --> 00:24:00.019
on the internet just decide that it was going

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:02.940
to get them banned? And so they just... Everyone

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:06.960
has adopted it. Well, no. Because if you don't...

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:13.079
curtail to their verbiage then you get slapped

00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:19.880
with a age restriction and then your visibility

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:26.279
goes into the toilet so it's not a hey we're

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.940
not telling you how to talk but there are consequences

00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:36.880
if you don't play ball Yeah, the initial budget

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.819
for the Blair Witch Project was $60 ,000. And

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:42.500
the whole movie is just three people in the woods.

00:24:42.819 --> 00:24:45.660
I was about to say that's surprising that that

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:47.420
would have that much higher of a budget than

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:51.480
paranormal activity. No, I think that there were

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.660
some people in the beginning. But the way they

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:57.779
did it was like really, really well done because

00:24:57.779 --> 00:25:01.329
they would go. They had some actors in there

00:25:01.329 --> 00:25:02.910
that knew what was going on. They would interview

00:25:02.910 --> 00:25:05.569
them, but then they would also go and interview

00:25:05.569 --> 00:25:08.329
other people in this area and say, hey, have

00:25:08.329 --> 00:25:11.190
you heard about this and this and this? And some

00:25:11.190 --> 00:25:13.630
of them like would like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's

00:25:13.630 --> 00:25:17.109
been a legend around here for a long time. That's

00:25:17.109 --> 00:25:20.369
crazy that with the right circumstances and the

00:25:20.369 --> 00:25:24.049
right optics, how people will just believe whatever

00:25:24.049 --> 00:25:27.730
you tell them. Without any effort on your part.

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:30.900
If you have a camera crew and you run up to them

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:32.680
with a microphone and you just say, can you believe

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.359
this thing? Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, God. So when

00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.559
I was a kid, my grandma used to and that kind

00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:44.680
of stuff. Insane that us pea brains are so gullible.

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.299
We're afraid to look uneducated. It does not

00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:52.720
hold the distinction of being the most profitable

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.339
film ever made. That was Paranormal Activity.

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:58.880
which with a $15 ,000 budget, that makes sense.

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:04.740
But with $60 ,000, they turned that into $245

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:08.619
million worldwide. My God, that's impressive.

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:15.519
Yeah. And then I'm pretty sure that the two guys

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:20.740
from it, that was it for them. The woman went

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:22.720
on to do some other stuff, but I don't think

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.839
any of them are still in the game. If they are,

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:29.319
they're behind the scenes. I mean, it would be

00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:31.599
cool to just have the one project and then never

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.500
really need to do anything else. Yeah. I would

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:38.059
imagine your residuals from something like that

00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:41.980
are decent. If you even have residuals, that's

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:43.460
usually something you have to negotiate into

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:48.019
your contract. Well, a lot of the lower budget

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:50.619
things go the matrix route where it's like, I'll

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:53.240
give you... this super small paycheck at the

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:54.680
beginning because we just need to get it like

00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:57.980
off the ground and then you'll get 10 % of whatever

00:26:57.980 --> 00:27:00.339
happens after. Cause you're not really expecting

00:27:00.339 --> 00:27:03.299
it to be a big, big movie, which is why like

00:27:03.299 --> 00:27:05.720
Keanu Reeves did that for the original matrix

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:10.160
and he made out like a bandit because 10 % of

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:13.960
such a massive movie was a lot more than he would

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.839
have made if he had done an actual like main

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:20.839
character paycheck. Yeah. Same thing with, um,

00:27:21.230 --> 00:27:25.829
George Lucas in Star Wars. Because he didn't

00:27:25.829 --> 00:27:28.869
take a big upfront payment. He just said, man,

00:27:29.069 --> 00:27:30.910
just give me a, give me a chunk of the merchandise.

00:27:31.410 --> 00:27:36.769
Yeah. So insane. He got, how much money do you

00:27:36.769 --> 00:27:38.730
think he made specifically off those little like

00:27:38.730 --> 00:27:41.950
Jar Jar Binks, popsicle things that were just

00:27:41.950 --> 00:27:44.930
Jar Jar Binks, his tongue too much. Those things

00:27:44.930 --> 00:27:49.450
are too much. Real creepy. Yeah. There, there's,

00:27:49.450 --> 00:27:53.519
there's been some, uh, some massive swings with

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.319
the merchandising of Star Wars. And then there's

00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:04.160
there's it was a KFC. It was like a lid for your

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.980
cup and it was just Jar Jar Binks facing upwards

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:13.460
with his mouth agape. The original dune popcorn

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:18.759
bucket. Uh -huh. Yeah. That is horrifying. So

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.009
those definitely got repurposed. At some point.

00:28:23.589 --> 00:28:28.450
That's the real horror. Do you consider Blumhouse

00:28:28.450 --> 00:28:32.289
bad horror? Or like low budget horror? Like what

00:28:32.289 --> 00:28:35.309
we would consider now low budget horror? I mean,

00:28:35.309 --> 00:28:42.609
so Blumhouse is Cabin in the Woods, right? Cabin

00:28:42.609 --> 00:28:46.690
in the Woods, Megan. It's definitely Megan. It's

00:28:46.690 --> 00:28:52.049
Smile. It's Woman in the Yard. The movie with

00:28:52.049 --> 00:28:56.970
John Cho was just in one. Searching? I think

00:28:56.970 --> 00:29:01.690
they had Night Swim. Oh, God. Hated that movie

00:29:01.690 --> 00:29:04.670
with a passion. Such a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

00:29:04.670 --> 00:29:12.109
movie. But so these have like huge budget, not

00:29:12.109 --> 00:29:15.309
huge budgets, but compared to what like actual

00:29:15.309 --> 00:29:19.369
B -movie horror is, these have huge budgets.

00:29:19.849 --> 00:29:23.950
But would you consider that like the same caliber,

00:29:24.029 --> 00:29:29.789
the same realm? I think in like a broader sense,

00:29:29.930 --> 00:29:32.970
I personally consider low budget horror stuff

00:29:32.970 --> 00:29:36.710
to be like one offs, not necessarily like studio

00:29:36.710 --> 00:29:41.230
backed because a lot of that success that comes

00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:43.990
with it is on the back end. So like it's marketed

00:29:43.990 --> 00:29:46.470
differently because anything that comes through

00:29:46.470 --> 00:29:49.299
Blumhouse is going to be. It's going to get the

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:53.039
popcorn buckets. It's going to be put in the

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:54.579
previews and stuff, whereas the rest of them

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:58.059
are completely in obscurity until you watch something

00:29:58.059 --> 00:30:00.359
similar and then Hulu or Peacock or whatever

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.500
decides that you might also like this one. Okay.

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:10.460
So B -movie horror isn't probably going to be

00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:12.839
in theaters? I wouldn't imagine so. Is that a

00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.180
stipulation? I... I could understand why the

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:19.640
case would be made because I don't know what

00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:21.839
any of the budgets would be to the Blumhouse

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.039
movies. So that could be argued that it's...

00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.839
I can give you one. What do you got? Smile. 2022.

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:35.740
6 .5 out of 10. They all seem to hover right

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:41.319
around there. And we're looking at a Rotten Tomato

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:50.880
score of... Huh. 80 % with critics. 77 % with

00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:55.460
audience. Okay. So, obviously, this struck a

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:57.920
nerve with people. That's probably why there's

00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.420
a sequel that's been out, which I actually like

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:05.759
the sequel. I really enjoyed the sequel. Yeah,

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:07.380
didn't we see that together? Did we watch it

00:31:07.380 --> 00:31:09.660
together? We watched the first one together.

00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:10.940
I don't think we watched the second one together.

00:31:12.289 --> 00:31:14.789
It was made for Smile. The first one was made

00:31:14.789 --> 00:31:17.869
for $17 million. Then I definitely would not

00:31:17.869 --> 00:31:23.509
think that's a low budget. I mean, against budgets

00:31:23.509 --> 00:31:29.430
of other horror movies of the same caliber, is

00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:34.390
$17 million that much? I mean, I think I would

00:31:34.390 --> 00:31:40.339
typically consider... I think I would typically

00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:44.359
consider the cutoff to be somewhere between a

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:48.519
million and five million. Okay. Granted, that

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:54.700
is also a thing that you could debate. The Happening,

00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:56.759
which was a movie that we discussed a little

00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:59.180
while ago, I don't think in one of the episodes,

00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.640
but that one is the lowest of M. Night Shyamalan,

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:07.140
his movies, and it was like 6 .6 million maybe

00:32:07.140 --> 00:32:11.519
for the budget. Hmm. Long Legs was $10 million.

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:15.880
Yeah. How much of that do you think just went

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:23.059
to Nicolas Cage? I mean, I think that he is both

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:26.819
overpaid in most of the roles that he's in and

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:29.440
also wildly underpaid for all of the roles that

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.240
he's in. Because he acts the hell out of whatever

00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:35.200
character he's in. Especially that one was so

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.900
creepy. They are. They're all very similar characters.

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:45.160
But yeah, no, he's. He's an odd one. I saw that

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.420
in theaters and it was one of those situations

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:52.539
where it was essentially empty theater and you

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:57.019
pick your seats. I picked my seat like middle

00:32:57.019 --> 00:33:00.720
front section, like maybe five rows back from

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.680
the very front and some ass hat. gets the seat

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.119
right next to me. Like five total people in this

00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.119
theater. Uh -huh. Like, dude, what are you doing?

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.680
Social anxiety. Hates to see him coming. Ugh.

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:18.700
And I, so I scooted over to, and I was off center.

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:21.500
It pissed me off the entire time. Yeah. And so

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:23.519
I'm thinking about that and not really paying

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:25.440
that much attention to the movie. And then when

00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.960
the jumps happened, I wasn't, I just, I jumped

00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.720
even harder. So I'm just over here, pissed about

00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.000
this dude. Now two seats over. That got me to

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:38.940
relent and got me to move out of center. That's

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:41.420
what I took away from that. That and that creepy

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:45.500
-ass car scene with Nicolas Cage. Where he's

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:49.400
singing. Scream singing. I don't know that I

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:51.720
remember anything from Long Legs. I'm pretty

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:55.119
sure I watched it. It was on Hulu for a long

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.759
time, if it's not still on Hulu. Yeah, and it

00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:03.170
had Blair Underwood, which... I had only known

00:34:03.170 --> 00:34:07.710
him from men's warehouse commercials. So it was

00:34:07.710 --> 00:34:10.230
weird to see him. Did you like the way he looked?

00:34:14.769 --> 00:34:21.210
Oh, uh, there were creepy dolls. Um, the main

00:34:21.210 --> 00:34:23.969
girl was trying too hard to be Clarice Starling,

00:34:24.090 --> 00:34:29.909
but overall, I mean, I, I think that I would

00:34:29.909 --> 00:34:35.239
say that I, enjoyed the film for just being different

00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:40.039
i guess okay so what what do you consider as

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:44.099
a a kind of low budget horror movie it seems

00:34:44.099 --> 00:34:45.900
like our perspectives might be a little bit different

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:51.039
on this one yeah i mean i don't i can tell you

00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:57.300
what like old what i would i think we would more

00:34:57.300 --> 00:35:00.610
align in like old stuff What would be low budget?

00:35:00.650 --> 00:35:05.449
Like Halloween was low budget. It was $300 ,000

00:35:05.449 --> 00:35:11.269
and it exploded. And now there's like 9 ,000

00:35:11.269 --> 00:35:15.409
different iterations of it and some God awful.

00:35:17.050 --> 00:35:21.610
What is the line from the newest one? Tonight

00:35:21.610 --> 00:35:26.570
something dies. Evil. Tonight evil dies or something

00:35:26.570 --> 00:35:31.519
like that. Yeah. And holy moly, like, just, can

00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:36.699
we stop this, please? I, yeah, no. Did you watch

00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:40.280
the, like, newer Texas Chainsaw Massacre? The

00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:45.500
one with Alexandria Daddario? Yeah. That's the

00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:48.280
one I think of when it comes to, like, you know

00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.599
that they were trying so hard to make this just,

00:35:51.659 --> 00:35:57.659
like, badass line. She throws a chainsaw at Leatherface

00:35:57.659 --> 00:36:04.699
and yells, do your thing, because... What? It

00:36:04.699 --> 00:36:08.219
hurts to repeat in this conversation. This is

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:14.699
silly. There's also a rumor going around the

00:36:14.699 --> 00:36:19.679
internet that the scene in which she is strung

00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:27.119
up and is about to be... She wanted to do it

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:31.159
topless, and the director said, no, no, this

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.139
is a film. This is not some smutty movie. And

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:37.159
she was like, but I want to do it topless. And

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.780
he's like, no. And she's like, but please. And

00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:40.719
he said, no. And he said, okay, well, why don't

00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.719
we compromise? You just, your shirt will be open

00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:46.440
and you won't have a bra on. And that is what

00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.869
we got in the movie. Oh, okay. And see. So people

00:36:51.869 --> 00:36:54.050
with differing opinions can come to a compromise.

00:36:55.170 --> 00:36:58.670
Yeah. Is that the takeaway from this episode?

00:36:59.170 --> 00:37:03.610
Not the way I would have gone. I mean, if you

00:37:03.610 --> 00:37:05.010
really want to see something, you can just watch

00:37:05.010 --> 00:37:08.449
season one of True Detective. But I digress.

00:37:10.670 --> 00:37:14.190
Opinions don't have to jive. This is true. You

00:37:14.190 --> 00:37:16.210
don't have to think like everyone else, but at

00:37:16.210 --> 00:37:20.349
least come find some common ground. Meet somewhere

00:37:20.349 --> 00:37:29.880
in the middle. But as far as what I consider

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:37.820
modern low -budget horror, I feel like it's all

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:41.780
relative. Maybe Smile for $17 million isn't low

00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:45.860
-budget, but I just felt like as far as how expensive

00:37:45.860 --> 00:37:51.619
movies are now, that that is relatively... Sure.

00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:57.280
Especially because it's so effects driven, which

00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:04.760
also might take it out of the realm of low budget

00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:08.300
horror, because usually those kind of effects

00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:12.619
are either done practically because that's much

00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:18.590
cheaper or it's just like alluded to. Or just

00:38:18.590 --> 00:38:22.789
done just awfully, like so bad, like terribly.

00:38:23.050 --> 00:38:27.230
So maybe Smile, maybe anything Blumhouse would

00:38:27.230 --> 00:38:31.789
be taken out of contention. A24, it's like artsy

00:38:31.789 --> 00:38:36.050
horror, which is what Long Legs is. And like,

00:38:36.130 --> 00:38:38.570
what's that one movie? I think Midsommar could

00:38:38.570 --> 00:38:42.630
be considered more of that like low budget style

00:38:42.630 --> 00:38:46.900
horror because it doesn't rely on... like big

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:50.159
effects and things. Yeah. Yeah. Which I mean,

00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:57.079
my, my preference for a horror movie or a scary

00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:01.320
movie is, is more suspense driven. I don't like,

00:39:01.340 --> 00:39:05.559
I don't like the, the slash and all that as much.

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.579
Yeah. Uh, sometimes you'll just get in a mood

00:39:08.579 --> 00:39:11.300
where like you want like Jeepers creepers, but

00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:13.679
for the most part, I would rather be like a drawn

00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.070
out, like. building thing rather than just hey

00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:22.110
here's what their intestines look like yeah yeah

00:39:22.110 --> 00:39:25.269
terrifier -esque movies are not for everyone

00:39:25.269 --> 00:39:29.010
the ones that are just all gore no plot yeah

00:39:29.010 --> 00:39:31.630
but those are i mean i don't know what the first

00:39:31.630 --> 00:39:35.210
one cost to make it it can't be much the first

00:39:35.210 --> 00:39:40.050
terrifier yeah uh yeah i don't remember i remember

00:39:40.050 --> 00:39:43.420
it being like a big important thing when the

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:47.880
first movie came out. But, I mean, that's all

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.960
gone by the wayside now. 35 ,000. Yeah. You got

00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:56.400
three of them and a fourth one in the works.

00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.699
So, does that take that out of contention for

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:04.280
you, even though the first one was very low budget?

00:40:05.019 --> 00:40:10.059
No, it takes the sequels out. Oh, okay. So, I

00:40:10.059 --> 00:40:14.530
think the movies stand alone. So it would be

00:40:14.530 --> 00:40:19.570
the first Saw because it was a film school project.

00:40:19.610 --> 00:40:22.289
It's all done in one room. It is made for very,

00:40:22.389 --> 00:40:26.849
very cheap. But if you go to Jigsaw or the show

00:40:26.849 --> 00:40:28.889
that they made with Chris Rock for some reason,

00:40:29.050 --> 00:40:31.769
that wouldn't be considered low -budget horror.

00:40:31.909 --> 00:40:36.170
Or the movie with Chris Rock. I don't think those

00:40:36.170 --> 00:40:38.730
would be considered low -budget horror. In the

00:40:38.730 --> 00:40:41.530
same way that, like, OG Halloween versus the

00:40:41.530 --> 00:40:46.289
new -ish one. Evil. I gotta double -check that

00:40:46.289 --> 00:40:48.769
line, make sure that's actually what it is. It's

00:40:48.769 --> 00:40:54.469
stupid enough that it sounds... Spiral, the Chris

00:40:54.469 --> 00:40:57.769
Rock spinoff from Saw, was the first movie that

00:40:57.769 --> 00:41:00.230
Emily and I went to see together in a theater.

00:41:01.550 --> 00:41:09.690
Huh. Weird choice. Yes. Evil dies tonight. From

00:41:09.690 --> 00:41:13.690
the 2021 Halloween Kills, which is also a stupid

00:41:13.690 --> 00:41:18.829
title. All right. You ready to get to the beef

00:41:18.829 --> 00:41:24.030
of this? The real meaty parts? The bad? Low budget

00:41:24.030 --> 00:41:27.829
horror movies? What do you got? And I do want

00:41:27.829 --> 00:41:31.469
to preface this with bad is subjective. Everyone

00:41:31.469 --> 00:41:34.769
has a definition of bad. I don't even necessarily

00:41:34.769 --> 00:41:38.639
know that all of these are actually bad. I haven't

00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:43.159
seen any of these with the exception of maybe

00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:49.199
one or two. But on the whole, most of these probably

00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:53.440
aren't winning any awards anytime soon. Have

00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:56.980
you ever heard, first off, how would you pronounce

00:41:56.980 --> 00:42:01.820
T -R -O -M -A? Troma. Troma. That's what I thought

00:42:01.820 --> 00:42:04.539
too. Troma Entertainment. I was like, that's

00:42:04.539 --> 00:42:06.760
a weird name. But then I went to their website.

00:42:08.090 --> 00:42:12.170
And it is not pronounced trauma. Trauma. It's

00:42:12.170 --> 00:42:15.909
trauma. Trauma entertainment. Does it have like

00:42:15.909 --> 00:42:19.070
the little accent over it or something? No. That's

00:42:19.070 --> 00:42:21.809
just trauma, but we're going to pretend it says

00:42:21.809 --> 00:42:27.409
trauma. It was started in 1974. But they have

00:42:27.409 --> 00:42:32.130
a whole list of their movies and they went as

00:42:32.130 --> 00:42:38.110
far back as 1963. And as recently as 2017. But

00:42:38.110 --> 00:42:40.610
they're still functioning from everything I could

00:42:40.610 --> 00:42:43.230
see. So I don't know what that's about. They

00:42:43.230 --> 00:42:50.630
had 200 movies on there. 200 movies? A lot. Yeah.

00:42:51.949 --> 00:42:57.489
Yeah. Their biggest movie. You might have heard

00:42:57.489 --> 00:43:01.570
of it. The Toxic Avenger. I have. Which I think.

00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:04.900
I haven't seen the whole thing either. I think

00:43:04.900 --> 00:43:09.500
that it is like the poster child for like low

00:43:09.500 --> 00:43:15.139
budget bad horror movie. Yeah. Because the clips

00:43:15.139 --> 00:43:19.039
I have seen, oh boy, is it bad. I think it's

00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:21.599
important to remember whenever you're looking

00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:30.300
at like 60s to like 80s horror, maybe. we've

00:43:30.300 --> 00:43:33.360
gotten so reliant on CGI and we have stepped

00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:35.559
up the game in so many ways that I think we've

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:41.380
gotten a bit too desensitized to a lot of horror.

00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:44.559
To a good practical effect. Yeah. So if you watch

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:50.019
Terrifier and then you watch Jaws, you're not

00:43:50.019 --> 00:43:52.199
going to be traumatized by anything that happens

00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:54.539
in Jaws despite the fact that that movie was

00:43:54.539 --> 00:43:57.699
terrifying people when it first came out because

00:43:57.699 --> 00:44:01.139
your bar is just set. entirely too high that's

00:44:01.139 --> 00:44:06.940
fair no like our mom talks about 2000 maniacs

00:44:06.940 --> 00:44:09.500
i think as this like movie that traumatized her

00:44:09.500 --> 00:44:11.460
as a kid because they watched it at a drive -in

00:44:11.460 --> 00:44:14.800
theater and while i'm sure a lot of that comes

00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:17.440
from the fact that she was a child when she watched

00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.239
it if you look at the effects like the the previews

00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.719
and stuff for it the trailers and stuff today

00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:28.420
yeah it looks silly it just looks silly Like,

00:44:28.420 --> 00:44:30.519
you can tell that they're using, like, ketchup

00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:32.960
blood. Like, it doesn't even look the right consistency.

00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:35.619
Like, you can poke holes in a lot of it, but

00:44:35.619 --> 00:44:38.719
it was very real for the time that it came out

00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:44.260
in. Yep. One thing that Trauma Entertainment

00:44:44.260 --> 00:44:49.639
does have for itself is that they actually have,

00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.800
they've been around so long that they actually

00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:57.420
have a pretty decent list of people. that were

00:44:57.420 --> 00:45:00.199
just starting their careers and now are huge

00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:05.940
names in their properties. Billy Bob Thornton

00:45:05.940 --> 00:45:09.619
was in a movie called Chopper Chicks in Chinatown.

00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:14.300
Excuse me? Yeah. Chopper Chicks in Chinatown.

00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.360
Okay. Does that sound like something you'd be

00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:20.519
interested in seeing? Did he also keep this one

00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:22.460
off of the streaming services like he did with

00:45:22.460 --> 00:45:24.659
Sling Blade? Because it seems like he had a pretty

00:45:24.659 --> 00:45:28.400
interesting career before. He got into the Fargo

00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:35.000
kind of. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know why

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.380
you can't find Sling Blade anywhere. From what

00:45:38.380 --> 00:45:40.239
I understand, it was literally because Billy

00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:43.880
Bob Thornton essentially like. Got it taken off

00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.619
the shelves. Because he went full. Because he

00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:50.780
went full. That was that's the story that I understand

00:45:50.780 --> 00:45:54.000
about it. Is that it essentially got. pulled

00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:56.039
off of everything because he did not want that

00:45:56.039 --> 00:46:02.699
to be his legacy. He couldn't get Tombstone taken

00:46:02.699 --> 00:46:06.599
down. He's in that for a hot second. That's like

00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:09.599
chunky Billy Bob. He almost is unrecognizable.

00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:16.719
Huh. Never seen it. You've never seen Tombstone?

00:46:16.980 --> 00:46:22.599
No. I failed you. Yeah. At least you've seen

00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:25.199
Smokey and the Bandit. Well, you gotta watch

00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:29.820
Tombstone. That's true. I don't know. That's

00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:31.820
streaming somewhere. It's probably on Disney.

00:46:32.099 --> 00:46:35.760
You have Disney for now, right? I do. Okay. Well,

00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:40.019
it's probably on there. All right. James Gunn.

00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:45.920
You know him now from being the name on all DC

00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:51.690
products. Yeah. He directed the latest Superman.

00:46:52.969 --> 00:46:57.369
His brother, Sean Gunn, was in... What's that

00:46:57.369 --> 00:47:00.949
stupid show called? With the fast -talking mother

00:47:00.949 --> 00:47:03.869
and daughter. Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls. Yeah,

00:47:03.909 --> 00:47:05.809
he was like the handyman guy. And then he was

00:47:05.809 --> 00:47:08.710
also in a bunch of Marvel stuff. Their careers

00:47:08.710 --> 00:47:11.570
are pretty intertwined. I had no idea that there

00:47:11.570 --> 00:47:15.230
were three other Gunn brothers. Because I was

00:47:15.230 --> 00:47:19.280
watching a movie today called... Uh, which is,

00:47:19.340 --> 00:47:23.179
it's pretty, pretty funny. Uh, right. Burn. Have

00:47:23.179 --> 00:47:27.559
you seen it? It's like, what if Superman came

00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:29.619
to earth and had the same background, but then

00:47:29.619 --> 00:47:33.679
was evil. Oh, I haven't finished it. I'm going

00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:35.280
to finish it once we're, we're done recording

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:38.980
here. Um, but those, that was written by two

00:47:38.980 --> 00:47:42.300
other gun brothers. And then there's a fifth

00:47:42.300 --> 00:47:45.360
one. There's a whole dynasty over here. I had

00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.579
no clue. There were so many guns in the world.

00:47:48.139 --> 00:47:50.860
I think we have a gun problem in America. Please

00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:53.519
tell me one of them is named Tommy. That's all

00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:55.619
I need to know. No, there's no Tommy. There's

00:47:55.619 --> 00:48:00.460
not one Tommy gun? No. Missed opportunity. There's

00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:04.599
no Water. There's no brother named Water. There's

00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:13.500
no Raymond. No Ray gun? No Ray gun. Is one of

00:48:13.500 --> 00:48:16.559
them at least a B first name and a B middle name?

00:48:17.389 --> 00:48:22.130
I would want to be BB gun personally. No, they're

00:48:22.130 --> 00:48:28.369
not so disappointing. I know. Well, take it up

00:48:28.369 --> 00:48:32.030
with the guns. I guess he was a writer on, uh,

00:48:32.250 --> 00:48:37.449
Tromeo and Juliet, which was a black comedy.

00:48:37.769 --> 00:48:40.309
Not like, not like, uh, this isn't like a Medea

00:48:40.309 --> 00:48:44.869
situation. This is like, this is like a dark

00:48:44.869 --> 00:48:48.880
comedy, but it was, described as a black comedy,

00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:53.000
and he was a writer on it. J .J. Abrams scored

00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:55.440
a movie called Night Beast when he was 16 years

00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:00.880
old. Oh, okay. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, 1993.

00:49:02.019 --> 00:49:05.260
You know what this is? No. The only things that

00:49:05.260 --> 00:49:09.780
I know about them aside from South Park is Book

00:49:09.780 --> 00:49:14.460
of Mormon, Orgasmo, and baseball. It's Cannibal,

00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:17.530
the musical. Oh. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.

00:49:17.829 --> 00:49:22.050
One of their first projects. Vanna White in a

00:49:22.050 --> 00:49:25.150
movie called Graduation Day. I didn't know she

00:49:25.150 --> 00:49:27.869
was an actress. Before she was tapping screens,

00:49:28.110 --> 00:49:32.349
she was getting killed on Graduation Day. Interesting.

00:49:32.449 --> 00:49:40.710
Okay. And David Boreanaz. Boreanaz. Boreanaz

00:49:40.710 --> 00:49:44.090
from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and Bones.

00:49:45.469 --> 00:49:48.730
was in a movie called Macabre Pair of Shorts.

00:49:49.210 --> 00:49:56.210
And it's like a vignette movie. Okay. Like a

00:49:56.210 --> 00:49:59.489
Kentucky Fried movie. Have you ever seen that?

00:49:59.829 --> 00:50:04.750
What is Kentucky Fried movie? It's a vignette

00:50:04.750 --> 00:50:09.030
movie. It's like it's little shorts all thrown

00:50:09.030 --> 00:50:14.449
together in a cohesive -ish movie. It's funny.

00:50:14.469 --> 00:50:17.929
You should watch it. It's like it's Zucker, the

00:50:17.929 --> 00:50:25.090
Zuckers, like Naked Gun. Oh, OK. Airplane, those

00:50:25.090 --> 00:50:29.230
kind of movies. Slapsticky comedy. Yeah. So,

00:50:29.630 --> 00:50:33.130
as I said, there's like probably about 200 movies

00:50:33.130 --> 00:50:35.369
listed on their website. I just went through

00:50:35.369 --> 00:50:41.210
and I picked out some that the title tickled

00:50:41.210 --> 00:50:43.920
my fancy, caught my attention. The first one

00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:47.880
I found is from 1992. It's called Decapitated.

00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:54.059
Awesome. The tagline for this movie is when your

00:50:54.059 --> 00:51:00.440
sleeping bag becomes your body bag. Okay. It

00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:03.679
is about seven friends that are going camping

00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:08.679
at the infamous DeCamp Acres for a weekend. It's

00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:11.559
called DeCamp. It's called DeCamp. D -E -C -A

00:51:11.559 --> 00:51:15.699
-M -P. Not D -A -C -A -M -P. I think that would

00:51:15.699 --> 00:51:18.079
probably be a different camp. Not a DeRules from

00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:20.840
Fairly Oddparents kind of situation? That would

00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:26.500
be a black horror movie in Amadeus style if it

00:51:26.500 --> 00:51:29.719
was D -A -C -A -M -P. But they crash their car

00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:32.719
and have to walk, encountering a psychopath who

00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:38.719
tries to kill them one by one. And this was the

00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:42.139
first... time that it caught my eye that there

00:51:42.139 --> 00:51:47.519
was no misconceptions about what you were in

00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:51.420
for with these movies because on the cover of

00:51:51.420 --> 00:52:00.260
this movie was a woman with a hand bra just just

00:52:00.260 --> 00:52:02.099
enough to cover the nips so you can get away

00:52:02.099 --> 00:52:07.119
with it and um screaming and a knife just like

00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:10.010
barely in the picture With blood dripping off

00:52:10.010 --> 00:52:12.869
of it. So. Yeah. You knew what you were going

00:52:12.869 --> 00:52:15.869
to get. And I appreciate that. Yeah. There is

00:52:15.869 --> 00:52:21.570
a. I want to say a. A theme. With most of these

00:52:21.570 --> 00:52:24.309
covers for these movies that they show. Which

00:52:24.309 --> 00:52:28.550
I mean it's really. It stops at a certain point.

00:52:28.730 --> 00:52:30.570
Like the more recent ones. They're like this

00:52:30.570 --> 00:52:31.949
is just going to go to streaming. Who cares.

00:52:32.329 --> 00:52:35.449
So they don't bother with it. But like. Like

00:52:35.449 --> 00:52:39.360
mid 90s to earlier. They all have pretty sweet

00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:44.880
movie posters, and almost all of them have a

00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:50.179
woman that has her nips skewed in one way or

00:52:50.179 --> 00:52:52.199
another. But just to let you know, hey, this

00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:57.059
is what's going on here. It's very softcore -ish

00:52:57.059 --> 00:53:03.239
in its presentation. Number two that caught my

00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:07.800
eye, Gut Boy, A Bad Time Story. And when you

00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.099
get a chance, look this up. Look up some pictures

00:53:10.099 --> 00:53:12.519
from this movie because... I don't think I want

00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:16.980
to. They stick with you. They're something to

00:53:16.980 --> 00:53:19.840
behold. Can I give you a synopsis and see if

00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:23.500
you'd be down to clown with this movie? I would

00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:28.599
love that. Is this claymation? Parts of it. It's

00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:30.880
also animation. It's also comedy. It's also fantasy.

00:53:31.019 --> 00:53:33.679
It's also a musical. Oh, and there's puppets.

00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:36.699
It's puppeteering, too. And live action. That

00:53:36.699 --> 00:53:39.500
is entirely too many things. It's a little bit

00:53:39.500 --> 00:53:42.840
of everything. So this is from 2017. Oh, I forgot

00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:48.619
to tell you that Decapitated has a 4 .5 out of

00:53:48.619 --> 00:53:52.679
10 on IMDb. Gut Boy, a bad time story, has a

00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:56.440
5 .7 out of 10 on IMDb. And here's a synopsis.

00:53:56.860 --> 00:53:59.619
Once a simple fisherman on his own, now transformed

00:53:59.619 --> 00:54:04.159
into a skinless hero out for revenge. After they've

00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.039
taken everything he had, even his skin, Gut Boy

00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.679
seeks vengeance on the men who did him wrong.

00:54:09.820 --> 00:54:13.159
An evil businessman, a corrupt bureaucrat, and

00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:16.559
a self -appointed cop who all continue to terrorize

00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:18.679
the small island where they live. As Gut Boy

00:54:18.679 --> 00:54:20.539
travels through the dark and sinister world of

00:54:20.539 --> 00:54:22.900
marionettes and shadow puppets, he encounters

00:54:22.900 --> 00:54:25.539
golden giants, promiscuous prostitutes, weird

00:54:25.539 --> 00:54:28.039
witches, and even another flayed victim like

00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:31.559
himself. the seductive sophie guts will gut boy

00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:34.360
exact revenge with his open heart left intact

00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:36.579
or will it be lost to the evil he is trying to

00:54:36.579 --> 00:54:40.139
destroy i don't i present to you gut boy a bad

00:54:40.139 --> 00:54:43.119
time story i think that i would be interested

00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:45.920
in watching this movie because i am so curious

00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:52.219
but my one my one little bit of commentary on

00:54:52.219 --> 00:54:56.860
the fact that i did just look up gut boy they

00:54:56.860 --> 00:55:00.570
took You said Sophie something. Sophie guts.

00:55:01.309 --> 00:55:05.389
Sophie guts. They took her skin as well, but

00:55:05.389 --> 00:55:09.349
for some reason left her incredibly filled lips.

00:55:10.210 --> 00:55:13.789
And also, why the hell does she have boob bones?

00:55:14.429 --> 00:55:17.789
She doesn't have a rib cage. She has boob bones.

00:55:18.750 --> 00:55:20.750
Well, how else are you going to tell that that's

00:55:20.750 --> 00:55:23.530
a lady? You need to be able to tell from far

00:55:23.530 --> 00:55:25.630
away. You're not going to be able to look at

00:55:25.630 --> 00:55:29.699
her. enters and see the uterus. Also, as far

00:55:29.699 --> 00:55:32.380
as I could tell from what I saw, good boy does

00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:37.820
not have any appendages. So I don't know. It's

00:55:37.820 --> 00:55:41.519
like a Kindle down there. A flayed Kindle. So

00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:45.159
that's made of flesh, but her boobs aren't. Hey,

00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:48.900
man. Hey, I'm just here to deliver the news.

00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:52.739
She's got eyelashes. God damn it. She has no

00:55:52.739 --> 00:55:56.460
eyelids here. Which is attached to the skin that

00:55:56.460 --> 00:55:58.599
she doesn't have. Her name is literally Sophie

00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:04.099
Guts. Yeah. I didn't, hey, hey, I didn't say

00:56:04.099 --> 00:56:07.860
that, I don't know. I take the information and

00:56:07.860 --> 00:56:12.539
I disperse it. I have nothing, I have no control

00:56:12.539 --> 00:56:15.800
over the content. I just take the facts and I

00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:19.019
bring them to your ears. Whether you like it

00:56:19.019 --> 00:56:21.760
or not. Whether you like the information that

00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:25.960
I'm giving you or not is not up to me. You will

00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:30.460
have to go through the rest of your life in this

00:56:30.460 --> 00:56:34.539
world knowing that Gut Boy, A Bad Time Story

00:56:34.539 --> 00:56:40.280
exists. When I looked at the images for Gut Boy,

00:56:40.380 --> 00:56:44.280
A Bad Time Story, I presume that it was a movie

00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:51.219
from the latest, the 90s. Did not realize that

00:56:51.219 --> 00:56:56.599
this movie came out in 2017. Yes. And the reason

00:56:56.599 --> 00:56:59.980
that I found this one, because if I had scrolled

00:56:59.980 --> 00:57:01.960
and I saw Gut Boy, a bad time story, then I probably

00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:04.179
would have clicked on it. Just out of curiosity.

00:57:04.860 --> 00:57:10.320
But the reason that it like popped up was because

00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:13.019
I was trying to find their latest movie and this

00:57:13.019 --> 00:57:18.059
was their latest movie. Huh. So it is possible.

00:57:18.699 --> 00:57:22.480
That Gut Boy A Bad Time story ended up destroying

00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:26.900
this 50 -year -old independent production company.

00:57:27.420 --> 00:57:32.219
It's possible. It's quite possible that this

00:57:32.219 --> 00:57:34.760
was just a bridge too far. And I would like to

00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:40.840
also let everyone know that the gold giants in

00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:43.920
question, golden giants in question, are just

00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:47.909
humans. It's a man in... golden tighty whities

00:57:47.909 --> 00:57:52.869
and it is a woman in a golden like lingerie set

00:57:52.869 --> 00:57:56.829
like shiny gold to cover up her boob bones yes

00:57:56.829 --> 00:58:00.590
to cover her boob bones and to cover his kin

00:58:00.590 --> 00:58:06.110
patch i don't know i don't know maybe maybe the

00:58:06.110 --> 00:58:10.550
giants have boobs and penises we don't know unless

00:58:10.550 --> 00:58:13.750
we track down this movie which by the way this

00:58:13.750 --> 00:58:17.429
studio At one point, I decided that they were

00:58:17.429 --> 00:58:19.309
just going to release their movies on YouTube

00:58:19.309 --> 00:58:23.090
that you could watch for free and then got taken

00:58:23.090 --> 00:58:28.750
down because it violated YouTube policies. Are

00:58:28.750 --> 00:58:32.389
they available for streaming on the Troma website?

00:58:33.349 --> 00:58:36.690
Yeah, there were links to the majority of these

00:58:36.690 --> 00:58:42.230
movies on the Troma website. See, you got me

00:58:42.230 --> 00:58:47.690
all twisted up. So, I just saw a little snippet

00:58:47.690 --> 00:58:51.190
from the trailer, and it very much gives Golden's

00:58:51.190 --> 00:58:53.230
face from Threat Level Midnight in the office.

00:58:54.670 --> 00:58:58.530
Yeah. I was not expecting the people to be live

00:58:58.530 --> 00:59:01.590
action. I thought they were just going to also

00:59:01.590 --> 00:59:05.409
be marionettes. No, I told you. It's got everything.

00:59:05.630 --> 00:59:07.429
It's got animation. It's got claymation. It's

00:59:07.429 --> 00:59:09.809
got puppeteering. It's got live acting. It's

00:59:09.809 --> 00:59:12.949
got music. It's fantasy elements, comedy. It's

00:59:12.949 --> 00:59:15.820
got it all. All right. I want to do one more

00:59:15.820 --> 00:59:22.280
that just jumped out at me. This one has a 6

00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:28.579
.0 out of 10. So above, well above Decapitated

00:59:28.579 --> 00:59:31.920
and Gut Boy Bad Time Story. And I mean, in the

00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:36.539
realm of Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch Project.

00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:41.219
So we're according to the people that have decided

00:59:41.219 --> 00:59:44.750
to spend their time. Doing movie reviews, this

00:59:44.750 --> 00:59:48.909
is on par. I will say that the people that are

00:59:48.909 --> 00:59:53.230
doing reviews for movies like Smile or Paranormal

00:59:53.230 --> 00:59:55.590
Activity or Blair Witch Project are probably

00:59:55.590 --> 01:00:01.889
not as zealous as the people who would go to

01:00:01.889 --> 01:00:06.969
do a review on a trauma movie. So I think that

01:00:06.969 --> 01:00:09.630
maybe this one is bumped up a little more because

01:00:09.630 --> 01:00:14.400
this is their cup of tea. Their thing. So this

01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:18.219
one came out in 2006 and it is called Poultry

01:00:18.219 --> 01:00:21.780
Geist. The Night of the Chicken Dead. That is

01:00:21.780 --> 01:00:27.340
the title of a movie that exists in this world.

01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:32.260
A world that also has The Godfather Part 2. That

01:00:32.260 --> 01:00:37.460
also has The Dark Knight. Yeah. Poultry Geist.

01:00:37.539 --> 01:00:42.159
Night of the Chicken Dead. You know. There is

01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:46.360
a movie on mine and Nate's to watch list that

01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:49.260
has been on our list because we've been waiting

01:00:49.260 --> 01:00:51.119
for the season that it is appropriate again.

01:00:51.780 --> 01:00:54.539
And it's called Thanksgiving, which I feel like

01:00:54.539 --> 01:01:00.840
is a sister movie to I've seen that. If you're

01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:04.659
not familiar, Thanksgiving is a murderous turkey.

01:01:06.619 --> 01:01:11.320
There's also one with a murderous pilgrim. What

01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.760
is that one called? Thanksgiving. And then there's

01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:19.000
also one where, spoiler alert, Patrick Dempsey

01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:24.079
is a murderer during Thanksgiving. That's Thanksgiving.

01:01:24.739 --> 01:01:26.519
Okay, well, there's another one where they have

01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:29.719
a house party for Thanksgiving and they're like

01:01:29.719 --> 01:01:33.900
pilgrim cosplayers that are the waiters and then

01:01:33.900 --> 01:01:36.480
the pilgrims are murderers because they think

01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:38.380
they're like actual pilgrims and they do like

01:01:38.380 --> 01:01:43.059
the... They set up a whole, what is it, like

01:01:43.059 --> 01:01:47.480
Salem Witch Trial, like the dipping chair or

01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:50.239
whatever. They set that up for the pool. Oh,

01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:53.139
okay. And I feel like that was one of the Huluween

01:01:53.139 --> 01:01:58.340
movies. I could see that. I don't, it was just,

01:01:58.460 --> 01:02:02.099
there was a weird spate of Thanksgiving themed

01:02:02.099 --> 01:02:05.440
horror movies. I think they just thought that

01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:07.539
there were certain holidays that hadn't gotten

01:02:07.539 --> 01:02:11.230
enough attention. And so they wanted to broaden

01:02:11.230 --> 01:02:13.369
their horizons. Like in the last couple of years,

01:02:13.489 --> 01:02:15.530
there's been a couple of like Valentine's ones.

01:02:16.349 --> 01:02:20.230
Yeah. Hard Eyes. Hard Eyes. I saw that one at

01:02:20.230 --> 01:02:24.869
theaters. Hot Garbage. Yeah. My Bloody Valentine.

01:02:25.309 --> 01:02:30.230
That's an old one though. There's a couple more

01:02:30.230 --> 01:02:32.750
in that one. I'm sure there's also one where

01:02:32.750 --> 01:02:35.989
it's literally just Cupid. And it's just an archer

01:02:35.989 --> 01:02:39.280
shooting arrows through. People who dare to celebrate

01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:42.659
the holiday of, I almost said Halloween, of Valentine's

01:02:42.659 --> 01:02:48.159
Day. Are you ready for this synopsis? Absolutely.

01:02:49.179 --> 01:02:53.199
After this episode releases, I want to see what

01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:55.159
kind of numbers these movies do after we mention

01:02:55.159 --> 01:03:02.280
them. Because I feel like we should maybe get

01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:06.550
some sort of something. Maybe shirts. Maybe just

01:03:06.550 --> 01:03:10.349
t -shirts from trauma. Free subscription to trauma's

01:03:10.349 --> 01:03:14.309
streaming site. Yeah. Yeah. Save us $5 a month.

01:03:15.809 --> 01:03:20.070
Anyways, when the American Chicken Bunker, a

01:03:20.070 --> 01:03:22.389
military -themed fast food restaurant, built

01:03:22.389 --> 01:03:25.309
its latest chain restaurant on the site of an

01:03:25.309 --> 01:03:29.269
ancient native burial ground, the displaced spirits

01:03:29.269 --> 01:03:32.449
take revenge on unsuspecting diners and transform

01:03:32.449 --> 01:03:36.380
them into chicken zombies. Now it's up to the

01:03:36.380 --> 01:03:40.539
dim -witted counter boy. His... I didn't write

01:03:40.539 --> 01:03:43.780
this. I didn't write this, okay? Don't come at

01:03:43.780 --> 01:03:49.659
me. His collegiate lesbian ex -girlfriend and

01:03:49.659 --> 01:03:54.699
a burka -wearing fry cook to put an end to the

01:03:54.699 --> 01:04:04.489
foul -feathered menace once and for all. Oh,

01:04:04.510 --> 01:04:07.730
his collegiate lesbian ex -girlfriend and a burka

01:04:07.730 --> 01:04:22.210
-wearing fry cook. Oh, man. This is from their

01:04:22.210 --> 01:04:24.170
website. This is the description of their movie

01:04:24.170 --> 01:04:32.150
from their website. You speechless? I want to

01:04:32.150 --> 01:04:36.050
have thoughts on this, but I think you short

01:04:36.050 --> 01:04:38.650
-circuited my brain with just about every part

01:04:38.650 --> 01:04:44.150
of that synopsis. They built, what did you say,

01:04:44.250 --> 01:04:48.449
American Chicken Bunker? A military -themed fast

01:04:48.449 --> 01:04:51.070
food restaurant called American Chicken Bunker.

01:04:52.590 --> 01:04:57.329
They built it on an ancient Native American burial

01:04:57.329 --> 01:05:02.130
ground. Genuinely? Nothing says America more

01:05:02.130 --> 01:05:07.550
like American chicken bunker. A military themed

01:05:07.550 --> 01:05:10.949
fast food chain built on top of an Indian burial

01:05:10.949 --> 01:05:17.909
ground. Yes. Nail on the head. And they transform

01:05:17.909 --> 01:05:23.010
the unsuspecting diners into chicken zombies.

01:05:23.250 --> 01:05:29.329
Sweet Jesus. It's a musical. Huh? Neat. Is that

01:05:29.329 --> 01:05:31.260
a thing? Is that a thing that happened? It seems

01:05:31.260 --> 01:05:33.539
like that would increase the budget by at least

01:05:33.539 --> 01:05:37.960
some sort of margin. It had a budget of $500

01:05:37.960 --> 01:05:42.159
,000 somehow. Trauma must be rolling in it. Let

01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.340
me see if they're on Spotify, if the original

01:05:44.340 --> 01:05:48.800
soundtrack is. I'm about to ruin my made -for

01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:55.960
-you playlist, aren't I? Probably. It can't be

01:05:55.960 --> 01:05:59.329
worse than... Every other song that I have recommended

01:05:59.329 --> 01:06:05.909
to me is from Disney zombies. So welcome to the

01:06:05.909 --> 01:06:09.150
club, except you're doing it to yourself. There

01:06:09.150 --> 01:06:16.190
is a playlist on Spotify called trauma. It is

01:06:16.190 --> 01:06:20.489
two hours and 17 minutes long. So it must be

01:06:20.489 --> 01:06:25.420
prevalent enough that they have. or at least

01:06:25.420 --> 01:06:30.539
their musicals and their repertoire that there

01:06:30.539 --> 01:06:32.599
can be playlists about it. So how many of these

01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:36.300
movies are musicals? Well, we know that Gut Boy

01:06:36.300 --> 01:06:40.280
is a musical. Cannibal is a musical. Yes. Poultry

01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:44.099
Geist. For whatever reason, is a musical. Is

01:06:44.099 --> 01:06:49.300
a musical. There's a song called Poultry Geist,

01:06:49.300 --> 01:06:51.940
and it is by an artist called Count Smokula.

01:06:53.300 --> 01:06:56.280
There's also a song called Poultry Geist by an

01:06:56.280 --> 01:07:00.619
artist called Radioactive Chicken Heads. Tales

01:07:00.619 --> 01:07:05.639
from the Coop is the album. While we're on the

01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:10.519
topic of silly music and silly singers, there

01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:13.559
was someone that I listened to way too much,

01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:19.659
like freshman, middle school years. He had a

01:07:19.659 --> 01:07:23.280
song that... ever since then always gets stuck

01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:26.019
in my head it's called thingy thing and his name's

01:07:26.019 --> 01:07:29.360
muck sticky do you know about thingy thing i

01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:33.119
do i also unfortunately because of you know who

01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:39.460
muck sticky is i can't stop staring at her belly

01:07:39.460 --> 01:07:43.320
ring oh my god all the time this is always stuck

01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:47.219
in my head anyways um so Not too long ago, and

01:07:47.219 --> 01:07:50.500
I think this is an instance of my phone reading

01:07:50.500 --> 01:07:55.940
my brain or just spying on me all the time. But

01:07:55.940 --> 01:08:00.860
I just had thingy things stuck in my head. And

01:08:00.860 --> 01:08:03.659
then, wouldn't you know it, I found Mug Stiggy

01:08:03.659 --> 01:08:07.579
going live on TikTok. Huh. And so I hopped on.

01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:12.639
There weren't many people. And maybe he just

01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:14.179
started. I don't know. I don't know what his

01:08:14.179 --> 01:08:17.819
daily lives are like. But I said, hey, man, big

01:08:17.819 --> 01:08:23.460
fan. Thingy thing changed my life. And we went

01:08:23.460 --> 01:08:25.859
back and forth for a couple minutes. And I was

01:08:25.859 --> 01:08:30.039
like, well, I'm glad you're OK. You you keep

01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:35.840
living your best life, man. So me and Muck Sticky

01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:40.979
really connected. I know that they're separate

01:08:40.979 --> 01:08:44.619
people. But when you said muck sticky, the first

01:08:44.619 --> 01:08:48.300
thing that came to mind was Dirt Nasty. Do you

01:08:48.300 --> 01:08:51.520
remember Dirt Nasty? Yeah, I mean, he was...

01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:56.380
What was the dude? What was the dude that did...

01:08:56.380 --> 01:09:03.000
Yeah. Yeah, and he was in... What? Scream Movie

01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:10.100
3. But no, he was... I don't even know what kind

01:09:10.100 --> 01:09:13.439
of what group it was, but he was always with

01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:18.060
the dude that is in the first Hangover movie.

01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:21.680
What is that song called? Oh, what is it when

01:09:21.680 --> 01:09:25.060
they first get to when they first get into Vegas?

01:09:25.460 --> 01:09:28.399
That's the song that's playing. I have no idea.

01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:34.880
My dick. Mickey Avalon. Mickey Avalon. Yeah.

01:09:35.689 --> 01:09:41.350
Yeah, so Rex is Dirt Nasty? Rex is Dirt Nasty,

01:09:41.350 --> 01:09:43.710
yeah. That's his alter ego? Yes. Okay, yeah,

01:09:43.789 --> 01:09:48.029
and him and Mickey Avalon were a duo, I don't

01:09:48.029 --> 01:09:50.829
know, had some sort of connection to each other.

01:09:51.470 --> 01:09:56.609
I have my dick saved on my Spotify songs, and

01:09:56.609 --> 01:09:59.270
every once in a while, just out of left field,

01:09:59.430 --> 01:10:01.909
I don't know the last time that I listened to

01:10:01.909 --> 01:10:04.970
this song on purpose. It will just throw itself

01:10:04.970 --> 01:10:08.130
in the middle of like Chris Stapleton. My heart

01:10:08.130 --> 01:10:09.850
will go on. Oh, you want to listen to Noah Khan?

01:10:09.850 --> 01:10:13.470
My dick cost a late night fee. Yo dick went straight

01:10:13.470 --> 01:10:19.210
to DVD. My dick. Good, good loving. Yo dick.

01:10:19.409 --> 01:10:27.029
Good for nothing. Oh, sweet Jesus. All of a sudden

01:10:27.029 --> 01:10:30.609
I'm back in middle school. All right. So just

01:10:30.609 --> 01:10:34.399
so we're check out. Dirt Nasty. Mickey Avalon.

01:10:34.819 --> 01:10:39.699
And shout out. Go shout out Muck Sticky. Go follow

01:10:39.699 --> 01:10:42.779
him on TikTok. He's a fun dude. When you were

01:10:42.779 --> 01:10:44.600
in this exchange for a couple minutes, did you

01:10:44.600 --> 01:10:48.340
mention our pod? I didn't. I should have. But

01:10:48.340 --> 01:10:51.399
now I'll track him down and say, hey, man, check

01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:54.819
out this episode of my podcast. We give you a

01:10:54.819 --> 01:10:58.479
huge shout out. And who knows? Maybe after we

01:10:58.479 --> 01:11:02.619
get Jarrett Reddick on 100. 101, we'll have Muck

01:11:02.619 --> 01:11:06.720
Sticky. We'll get a live rendition, maybe an

01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:13.020
updated rendition of Thingy Thing. Oh, God. I

01:11:13.020 --> 01:11:19.500
can't stop staring at this fine -ass bitch. Oh,

01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:26.720
God, I love it so much. It was a better, it was

01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:29.369
a fun time in music. It was not a better time,

01:11:29.430 --> 01:11:31.569
but it was a fun time in music. It was a fun

01:11:31.569 --> 01:11:36.590
time. Maybe I'm just out of tune with that stuff.

01:11:36.750 --> 01:11:42.270
Maybe that stuff just doesn't find me anymore,

01:11:42.510 --> 01:11:50.390
but I would love for it to. Yeah. Yeah. And check

01:11:50.390 --> 01:11:56.130
out Songs from the Coop, the soundtrack to the

01:11:56.130 --> 01:11:59.039
motion picture. Poultry Guys, Night of the Chicken

01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:01.420
Dead. I don't think those things are related.

01:12:01.939 --> 01:12:04.960
Oh, okay. We'll scratch that. Seems like just

01:12:04.960 --> 01:12:10.220
general Halloween -ish songs. Are they all chicken

01:12:10.220 --> 01:12:12.180
-based? Is this a Zac Brown situation all over

01:12:12.180 --> 01:12:18.460
again? If you put any of the Zac Brown songs

01:12:18.460 --> 01:12:22.380
in a minor key, you can use them as horror movie

01:12:22.380 --> 01:12:27.500
tracks. Just slow it down a little and stick

01:12:27.500 --> 01:12:29.140
them on a chicken is a completely different song.

01:12:29.460 --> 01:12:33.119
Yeah. Stick them on a chicken and watch those

01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:37.140
feathers fly. Maybe some swords unsheathing.

01:12:38.500 --> 01:12:44.159
Hint alert. Hint alert. All right. So I think

01:12:44.159 --> 01:12:49.159
we have well -informed people of what trauma

01:12:49.159 --> 01:12:55.970
has to offer. The last. thing that i wanted to

01:12:55.970 --> 01:12:59.409
get into is the asylum do you know what the asylum

01:12:59.409 --> 01:13:05.670
is it is a they started out as just a distributor

01:13:05.670 --> 01:13:09.050
but then they were getting kind of edged out

01:13:09.050 --> 01:13:11.710
by the bigger studios they were founded in 1997

01:13:11.710 --> 01:13:16.329
and they so they started the the distribution

01:13:16.329 --> 01:13:19.510
and then they started making their own stuff

01:13:19.510 --> 01:13:23.289
like in -house like uh just hey let's let's see

01:13:23.659 --> 01:13:27.180
See what we can do with this. And so they made

01:13:27.180 --> 01:13:31.840
a movie called H .G. Wells' War of the Worlds.

01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:40.340
Okay. They released it one day before Steven

01:13:40.340 --> 01:13:44.539
Spielberg's movie starring Tom Cruise, War of

01:13:44.539 --> 01:13:51.180
the Worlds. Huh. Blockbuster, rightfully confused.

01:13:51.789 --> 01:13:56.069
ordered 100 ,000 copies of H .G. Wells' World

01:13:56.069 --> 01:13:58.949
of Worlds, and the light bulb went off. Huh.

01:13:59.750 --> 01:14:02.270
They learned that they could just ride the hype

01:14:02.270 --> 01:14:09.270
of an upcoming big -budget movie to make a quick

01:14:09.270 --> 01:14:15.850
buck. And then they became known for their mockbusters.

01:14:17.170 --> 01:14:23.779
Hmm. Okay. They usually see a return on these

01:14:23.779 --> 01:14:31.539
mock busters of over $150 ,000 per movie. Okay.

01:14:31.619 --> 01:14:35.859
On a slow year, they release like 10. On a good

01:14:35.859 --> 01:14:41.239
year, it's close to like 14, 16. With a minimum

01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:49.039
return of $150 ,000. That is impressive. Once.

01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:53.000
Streaming started gaining popularity and that

01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:54.880
started being the way where these smaller studios

01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:58.840
could cut out a big portion of their expenses.

01:15:00.500 --> 01:15:05.920
They realized that they could put themselves

01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:12.300
front and center by just giving their movies

01:15:12.300 --> 01:15:17.039
these ridiculous titles that started with symbols

01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:20.869
or numbers. So when you went to search something,

01:15:21.029 --> 01:15:24.470
they would be at the top because that's how it

01:15:24.470 --> 01:15:28.770
works. And so you got movies like 666, The Beast,

01:15:29.050 --> 01:15:33.350
100 Million B .C., The 18 -Year -Old Virgin,

01:15:33.470 --> 01:15:38.689
which, I mean, sounds like probably not a movie

01:15:38.689 --> 01:15:46.250
in this genre, but it's what it's called. 2012,

01:15:46.869 --> 01:15:50.449
Supernova. And my favorite, number one cheerleader

01:15:50.449 --> 01:15:55.310
camp, hashtag one cheerleader camp. That is...

01:15:55.310 --> 01:15:59.250
Oh. Huh. But you know what their biggest claim

01:15:59.250 --> 01:16:02.789
to fame is, though? What? It's a little series

01:16:02.789 --> 01:16:05.569
of movies you might have heard of. Sharknado.

01:16:05.829 --> 01:16:08.670
Okay. Did you know that there are currently six

01:16:08.670 --> 01:16:14.449
Sharknado movies? Huh. There is Sharknado, Sharknado

01:16:14.449 --> 01:16:19.810
2, the second one. Okay. Sharknado 3. Oh, hell

01:16:19.810 --> 01:16:24.189
no. I'm assuming that's how it's pronounced.

01:16:26.590 --> 01:16:32.329
Okay. Sharknado The Fourth Awakens. The fourth

01:16:32.329 --> 01:16:37.149
what? The fourth shark tornado awakens? Yes.

01:16:37.689 --> 01:16:40.189
It came out the same year as The Force Awakens.

01:16:41.189 --> 01:16:46.960
Sharknado 5. Global Swarming. Oh, and Sharknado

01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:53.039
6. The last Sharknado. It's about time. Is it

01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:57.000
the last Sharknado? No, there's talks about a

01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:03.500
seventh one. I have seen two of these, and you

01:17:03.500 --> 01:17:05.000
go into it, you know what you're going to get,

01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:09.119
and you're not disappointed. They're fine. It's

01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:12.060
a great way to kill a little over an hour. Have

01:17:12.060 --> 01:17:16.760
you seen them? I have not. Well, you should...

01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:19.560
But I would be willing to. Should check them

01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:22.619
out. I'd be willing to watch Sharknado's. After

01:17:22.619 --> 01:17:27.579
I watch something that has been on my... There's

01:17:27.579 --> 01:17:29.619
a couple of ones that have been... I don't know

01:17:29.619 --> 01:17:31.239
if they're horror movies necessarily, but have

01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:33.380
been on my to -watch list that feel in the same

01:17:33.380 --> 01:17:37.779
vein as Sharknado, which is Velocipastor. And

01:17:37.779 --> 01:17:42.880
there's a movie with Sam Elliott. And it's something

01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:47.000
about both dinosaurs. It includes dinosaurs,

01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:52.279
Abraham Lincoln, and Hitler. That sounds... Yes,

01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:55.239
that sounds familiar. The Man Who Killed Hitler

01:17:55.239 --> 01:17:58.819
and Then the Bigfoot. Yeah. Starring, somehow,

01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:02.859
Sam Elliott. That one is... That one's up there

01:18:02.859 --> 01:18:05.279
on my to -watch list because... Before he got

01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:07.920
a recurring role on Family Guy? R .I .P. Adam

01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:12.500
West. Yes. It was... During his time, I believe,

01:18:12.560 --> 01:18:17.500
on the ranch. So I guess he knew that was a sinking

01:18:17.500 --> 01:18:23.840
ship. It was a good show until some things came

01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:29.319
out and the cast got a bit shaken up. Everything

01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:36.180
after that was rough. I believe it. They also,

01:18:36.460 --> 01:18:41.659
I mean, aside from the Sharknado thing, Second

01:18:41.659 --> 01:18:46.100
biggest claim to fame, I guess, is an unofficial

01:18:46.100 --> 01:18:56.479
sequel to the historical fiction that was the

01:18:56.479 --> 01:19:01.979
sinking of the Titanic. Titanic 2. Electric Boogaloo.

01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:07.640
No, I'm just kidding. It's just Titanic 2. And

01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:13.930
the biggest, biggest. trivia fact from this film,

01:19:14.010 --> 01:19:17.289
and I wouldn't even say it's a big, I mean, it's

01:19:17.289 --> 01:19:21.909
like a, oh, okay. It stars the grandson of Dick

01:19:21.909 --> 01:19:32.909
Van Dyke. Huh. Exactly. See? That's the most

01:19:32.909 --> 01:19:35.869
interesting thing about this movie. The story

01:19:35.869 --> 01:19:40.210
follows a modern replica of the ship, also named

01:19:41.180 --> 01:19:44.420
Titanic. It's called Titanic 2. Okay. As in the

01:19:44.420 --> 01:19:48.739
title of the film. As it sets sail for its first

01:19:48.739 --> 01:19:51.380
voyage. Uh -oh. Let's hope something doesn't

01:19:51.380 --> 01:19:53.859
happen like the first one. Surely, lightning

01:19:53.859 --> 01:19:57.520
doesn't strike twice. There's no way. Traveling

01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:00.979
in the reverse direction of the original. So,

01:20:01.039 --> 01:20:05.119
New York to England. Okay. So, obviously, this

01:20:05.119 --> 01:20:07.600
is a completely different story. Naturally, yeah.

01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:11.329
However, uh -oh. A massive iceberg is dislodged

01:20:11.329 --> 01:20:14.430
by a tsunami caused by a glacial collapse due

01:20:14.430 --> 01:20:18.130
to global warming. Due to humanity's use of fossil

01:20:18.130 --> 01:20:23.789
fuels. Yeah, what if Al Gore had a cameo in this?

01:20:28.029 --> 01:20:31.010
The iceberg collides with the new ship and its

01:20:31.010 --> 01:20:33.250
passengers and crews must fight for their lives

01:20:33.250 --> 01:20:37.510
as history repeats itself. But it's... Alright,

01:20:37.670 --> 01:20:43.819
well... Do you got anything else to add? So one

01:20:43.819 --> 01:20:45.979
final thought, as we teased in the beginning

01:20:45.979 --> 01:20:49.800
of this episode, I do want to bring up a concept

01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:52.220
or a separate side of the pod that I'm super

01:20:52.220 --> 01:20:54.720
excited about, which is Cash Exchange Presents,

01:20:55.039 --> 01:21:00.279
where we go into low -budget horror movies. They

01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.060
are, as I said a couple times, pretty near and

01:21:03.060 --> 01:21:07.319
dear to my heart. And for the month of the heart

01:21:07.319 --> 01:21:10.430
of spooky season. We are releasing a new special

01:21:10.430 --> 01:21:14.109
episode based on... This first one is going to

01:21:14.109 --> 01:21:17.989
be Tooth Fairy 5. My bad. Didn't do my due diligence

01:21:17.989 --> 01:21:21.310
on that one. And every Tuesday for the month

01:21:21.310 --> 01:21:27.029
of October. Be sure to stay on the lookout. We've

01:21:27.029 --> 01:21:30.710
got some new artwork, some new theme music, and

01:21:30.710 --> 01:21:38.229
maybe some new effects. Ooh. Maybe. That's all

01:21:38.229 --> 01:21:44.510
I got. All right. Well, we'll see you on Tuesday,

01:21:44.670 --> 01:21:48.289
and then we'll see you on Thursday, and then

01:21:48.289 --> 01:21:50.569
we'll see you on the following Tuesday, and the

01:21:50.569 --> 01:21:54.050
following Thursday, and so on and so forth. Until

01:21:54.050 --> 01:21:56.310
we're either your best friends or you're tired

01:21:56.310 --> 01:22:00.970
of us. Make it the first one, please. We've been

01:22:00.970 --> 01:22:05.489
so funny and so good to you. We're watching all

01:22:05.489 --> 01:22:08.890
of this. Terrible horror for you. For you. I

01:22:08.890 --> 01:22:14.409
did this for you. And if you would like to get

01:22:14.409 --> 01:22:17.270
