You know what that sound means? It's another
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I'll be
your host this afternoon. I have the third episode
for Spoopy Season. Spoopy Season, we've been
doing public domain characters in horror movies.
This one was not what it was initially intended
to be, but that's okay because honestly, this
one might be better than what I was expecting
it to be. What are we currently drinking? I am
not currently drinking because I am on the clock,
but I wish I could be drinking a Harpoon Rec
League, one of my favorite drinks from Harpoon
Brewery. And it's a fun fact to bring up about
Harpoon because Harpoon Brewery, we kind of have
a deal with them. If you are going to get anything

the bad movie. This is the second revenge movie
of spoopy season as well. We've had Cinderella's
Revenge. We had the Ferris of the Mall. This
is the third movie of spoopy season, which is
public domain characters in horror movies. This
is Popeye's Revenge. Yes, Popeye the Sailor Man.
And this is one of three Popeyes movies that
actually got released this year. Popeyes Revenge
is the worst of the three of them. There is Shiver
Me Timbers and Popeye the Slayer Man. Both not
great, although Shiver Me Timbers is actually
probably a pretty decent watch according to the
Rotten Tomatoes numbers at least. This one, however,
not as much is what I will say. Another fun fact
about Popeyes Revenge. Popeyes Revenge is from
ITN Distribution. ITN Distribution does a lot
of these movies, especially public domain ones,
including it was the distributor of Ferris of
them all. The cast, a lot of them have been in
multiple different movies of ITN Distribution,
including some of these people were in Ferris
of them all as well. We have Danielle Scott,
who was in Ferris of the Mall. She was the Aurora
clone. Kelly Ryan Sanson was Cinderella in Ferris
of the Mall. She plays Olive Oil in this. It's
a lot of people that you really don't recognize,
but they keep going around this distribution
cycle. They're in a bunch of those movies. The
director is William Stead or Steed. I don't know
how to pronounce it. Stead, I'm going to go with.
William Stead. He doesn't have a lot of... big
movies or anything to his name this is probably
one of the bigger ones he has three upcoming
movies though one of which is popeye's revenge
2 dead men spinach popeye resurrection and popeye
requiem yes we are getting a ton more popeye
horror movies so thank you william stead for
keeping this going the movie is written by harry
boxley and ec seger uh harry boxley He's known
for writing Cinderella's Curse, Mouseboat Massacre,
Ferris of the Mall, and Popeye's Revenge. He
also wrote Hook, Mouse of Horrors, Piglet, lots
of those kind of, you know, B -horror movie things.
The funny thing I will say, though, about it
is a lot of his movies, like I said, are these
B -horror movie kind of things. He also wrote
Christmas with the Twins. That is like the one
in all of this that isn't. One of those horror
or spoof -esque movies. The other writer, E .C.
Seeger, he wrote Popeye, the original Popeye.
And so he's just put on this as these are characters
created by him. So he just gets his credit as
he created the Popeye franchise as it is. This
movie was nominated for one award. It is a Chainsaw
Award and is the best resurrection of a public
domain character. So yeah, it was nominated.
It did not win. I can't imagine why. Maybe once
you hear about this movie, you'll know why. So
we started off with a drawing and this shows
how Popeye was born and that he was a C -section
baby and that he was born with a deformity. His
deformity, he was super strong. He had these
weird... arms that were like anchor arms plus
he had like a face deformity as well and it shows
that he like breaks his dad's finger early on
like right away and then it also then flashes
forward to when he's a kid and how he was getting
made fun of as a kid but like there's one girl
that stood up for him and because of that he
got beat up even more so he was made fun of as
a kid and he would fight them And apparently
there was an incident where he did kill a kid
because he's just so much stronger than them.
He's so much more powerful than them, that kind
of thing. He told his parents what had happened,
and then they kept him in the basement. They
locked him away in the basement. Also in the
basement, for some reason, there was a friend
on the other side of the locked basement door,
and he would write letters to them. And so he
became obsessed with this friend, but it was
kind of... You know, it was a conversation between
two people who couldn't see each other that were
locked in the basement. Flash forward, and a
mob is very mad about what Popeye did. And so
the mob shows up and burns down the house, killing
the parents. But luckily, the child, Popeye,
escapes. But he goes and runs to the lake that's
right by the house. And unfortunately, he drowns
in the lake, though his body was never found.
So this is the origin of Popeye. Just a regular
kid, a little deformity, he's way too strong,
kills a kid, mob, kills him, you know, that kind
of story. It's the normal kind of prep for, ah,
he's a sympathetic character, you know, kind
of we should feel bad for him. I don't know how
bad we're going to feel for him, but at this
point, we feel a little bad for him. Now it's
present day and there's people that are skipping
rocks in the lake and the people are two women.
Their names are Sherry, May, and then there's
another guy, Dylan, that comes into it as well.
These three are trying to make a viral video.
because they run a channel called the Haunted
Houses of Evil, and they plan on going to Johnny
slash Popeye's house. They called the kid Johnny,
by the way. His name was Johnny. The nickname
was Popeye because of his weird eyes. So they
also kind of lay the myth of that when the fog
rolls in, that is when Popeye kind of appears.
So they need to get out of there before the fog
rolls in. So this is going to be their big break.
It's going to be a viral video. And May is the
one who tapes it. She is the camera woman. And
Dylan and Cherry are the like stars of the viral
video. They're the stars of the haunted houses
of evil. They're the ones that are like the faces
of it. I will say at this point, I was also very
confused. I don't know if this guy's name is
actually Dylan or Alan. I kept flipping back
and forth because I think the subtitles did too.
Like it was Dylan, it was Alan. So Dylan, Alan,
whatever his name is, is definitely Cherry. It
was definitely May. May, you can tell is a little
on edge. She's not as used to this. She's a freelancer
who was getting paid to do this. So she's just
there to help them out. cherry and alan go down
to the house and they are going to record some
more of the actual house itself may is kind of
like i'm gonna go get some ambient sound and
stuff to you to like help out with the recording
and everything like that you can tell it's kind
of just i'm afraid i don't want to go there but
she uses that as an excuse as may is like getting
the sound uh alan and cherry yeah they're going
to uh they're going to get it on there are a
couple that uh I guess Cherry kind of gets her
rocks off on doing it in haunted houses and stuff
like that. I don't know if that's exactly what
it is, but she definitely enjoys the fact that
they're in this house and they are getting all
this footage and stuff like that, and they're
going to be famous. And she also leaves the camera
at the worst angle possible. She's kind of making
a sex tape almost. Where she leaves the camera
is terrible. It's an absolutely horrible spot.
May is getting the sound. She's up on a rock
and Popeye sneaks up behind her and smashes her
with an anchor. Just absolutely just smashes
her with an anchor. And even though he's shown
to be like super strong, he doesn't kill her.
She tries like crawling away and like trying
to get to Cherry and Alan Dillon, whatever his
name is. He catches up to her and smashes her
head in with his heel, just keeps, like, stomping
on her head, just pulp left. We go back to the
sex now, and Cherry is about to come until a
hand goes straight through her. Like, it goes
through her chest, like, just straight through
her. And it spills all this blood all over Alan,
and he's, like, freaking out because now he's
covered in blood and the dead body of Cherry.
And somehow he escapes. But he's being chased
by Popeye and Popeye has his anchor. He hides
behind this wood panel and Popeye, of course,
starts to walk away. So, you know, it's one of
those classic, he walked away, cool, I can get
out now kind of thing. So Alan tries to escape
the other way, but then Popeye comes out of nowhere
and blocks his way and he hits his leg with a
hammer, just completely breaking the leg. Popeye
then tries to choke him out, but Alan's able
to grab the hammer and hit him in the head. Great.
Alan Dillon, he's going to survive. He finds
a ladder to try to crawl out on one leg, but
Popeye is able to grab him, and then he squeezes
his head until his eyes pop out. All this is
happening while Popeye is just like grunt screaming,
just... And it's just very weird, this whole...
exchange but you know whatever more for what
you do Popeye then goes to the door in the basement
like where him and his friend were split if you
remember that and there's a letter that says
welcome back with a smiley face so Popeye is
back and he is going to get his revenge Popeye's
revenge the three people we thought were going
to be like main characters now they're all dead
sorry but That's the way it goes. Now we get
introduced to George and Laura. George and Laura
are the new owners of the Popeye house because
Mrs. Astor died and left it to them. We don't
know who Mrs. Astor is. We don't know anything
about their relationship or anything. But she
died. She left Popeye's house to George and Laura.
And we meet the kids, Donna, Dylan, and Tara.
Tara is our main character. And she is played
by Emily Mulliganer? Mulliganay? Mulliganay.
Mulliganer. I don't know. Something like that.
Yeah, this is her only movie. But she is the
main star of this one. Tara is... She grabs the
keys to the Popeye house and then goes to try
to meet her friends. Donna and Dylan are talking
and it's kind of like, you feel like they like
each other. Maybe, maybe that's what the secret
is. Cause Dylan has a secret. We don't know what
it is, but Dylan has a secret and Dylan and Tara
are together. Basically Donna's just kind of
like, you should tell her, but he's like, I'll
wait until the time is right. That kind of thing.
We also get introduced to Kathy, Nick, Sky, and
more. I tried to keep track of everybody's names
as this was happening. It was a lot of people
at a short period of time. But it's your typical
teen group. You know, they're horny, they're
goofy, they're teen friend group, that kind of
thing. This is where we learn why Tara grabbed
the keys to the Popeye house. She is planning
to convert it into a haunted house attraction.
Also like make like a camp style thing where
you can camp out there and stay around the Popeye
house. She plans on having all of these teens
help her convert it for the weekend. And they
have a short time frame and they're kind of like,
what the hell? We're not going to be able to
do this, but they agree to help because Tara's
mom, Laura. used to be their teacher, and she's
like the cool teacher. She was the awesome teacher,
so they all agreed to do this to help it out.
Because it wouldn't be a trope -y, scary movie
without it, they go to a gas station, and they
run into this creepy fisherman who warns them
to stay away. And obviously, they're not going
to do that because, you know, he's a creepy guy.
He doesn't know, so they're going to try to go
anyway. And one of the things I commented on
with this is the house burnt down. This house
is back up and it's just part of the reconstruction
process. They already had it up kind of thing.
Apparently the town like rebuilt it. We don't
know this at this point, but this is what happens.
The town rebuilt this house. But it makes it
easier because now Tara has a starting point.
The house is already there. So now they just
need to like make it a little creepy. So as they
get there, Kathy walks away and she screams and
gets the whole squad's attention. Oh, God, what
is this? Well, there is a hot tub there. And
that is exactly what she wants. She wants this
hot tub. Also, none of them knew about this,
but apparently they're going to be staying there
for a couple of days at these cabins that are
already kind of built up there. So I don't know
how nobody knew this because they knew it was
going to be a weekend of trying to build this
and everything like that. But yeah, so they're
going to stay at these cabins around there and
they are going to rebuild the house and there's
a hot tub. That's the important thing. Donna,
Beanie, Dylan, and Tara go to unload the car.
Nick is with Donna, like together, but he seems
to be hitting on Skye. So it's later that night.
Tara's freaking out because it's supposed to
be foggy the entire week and they're going to
have less daylight to work in. Tara's like the
type A personality. She takes things to heart.
Everything that happens is just kind of like,
why is this happening to me? Why is this happening
to me? So it's a big deal for her that she wants
to get this done. She doesn't like that it's
going to be foggy all week and it's going to
ruin this. C 'est la vie. That's what's going
to happen. You're going to work in fog. Sorry.
Get over it. She's telling Dylan all of this.
Dylan's also trying to tell her something, but
he can't really get a word in edgewise. And finally,
like when he tries to tell her something, it
doesn't. go well so he kind of holds back he
doesn't reveal his secret yet so he still has
a secret the creepy fisherman is out that night
he shows up and he's going to go fishing in the
lake they told everyone to avoid because you
know rules from the not for me kind of thing
and so he sees something in the fog like he's
kind of looking and he sees something in the
fog but then Popeye comes up behind him and chokes
him to death with the chain from his anchor just
Gone. So creepy fisherman, dead. We've got a
body count of, what, five now? Because if you
count the kid in the beginning, the three people
that we're recording, and then this creepy fisherman.
So we've got a death count of five so far. The
teens are hanging out. They're having a good
time. They're swimming in the hot tub, that kind
of stuff. Tara's freaking out about the weather.
So she suggests that they get some work done
before they go to sleep. Again, this goes back
to her type A personality. She just, she wants
to get stuff done. She wants to get it up and
running. She thinks this is a good investment
opportunity or a good like moneymaker kind of
thing. Then we go back to Laura and George. They
are the parents of Tara. Laura and George are
talking about selling the house, but for whatever
reason, Laura just won't do it. She just won't
get rid of it. That kind of is the whole point
of showing these two because now we go back to
the teens. Sky and Kathy are like the two dumb
party girls. Beanie is the drug dealer loser
who can't get girls' attentions. He has an attraction
to Sky. Yeah, he has an attraction to one of
them, and he tries to get their attentions, but
of course it doesn't go well. They're talking,
they're having a good time, they're partying,
they're working a little bit, and then they get
interrupted. Somebody knocks at the door, and
it's this crazy lady. And when they open the
door, she just walks in. She owns the place kind
of thing. She walks in. And she just looks and
goes and sees everything and goes, he's not going
to like this. And Donna basically talks her out
of the house and basically tells her to fuck
off. Donna's like the strong -willed woman. She
definitely is like the alpha of the women. kind
of thing so yeah she's the one she steps up she
tells them to fuck off tara kind of feels bad
at this point she feels bad that donna was so
cruel to her so she goes and tries to find the
random lady this lady tells tara that she wants
them all to suffer the way he suffered and like
it's insinuating it's popeye but she doesn't
say who he is um and then the random lady just
takes off running down the road uh yeah that's
that's what we get from night one uh tara comes
back and says like okay we're done we're good
kind of thing uh nick and donna kind of have
a little fight a little spat and it's just because
nick is kind of nick is the horn dog like where
he thinks he's the alpha male he acts like he's
the alpha male but really he's just like I just
want to put my dick in whatever I can put my
dick in. That's basically what Nick is. Donna
is a little more wine and dine me is not the
right term, but that's, that's a little more
of how she is. She's a little more like, I don't
want to say prude because I feel like prude has
negative connotation. She just, she doesn't want
to be treated like an object and that's totally
fair. You know, that's okay. Nick is constantly
like. talking about her body and that he's going
to use it and that kind of stuff. And Donna's
just kind of like, hey, I'm smart. I'm pretty,
yes, but I'm smart. Like, come on. I'm not just
a body. So that's their little spat kind of thing.
So Donna walks off and Nick's kind of like, what
the fuck? Dylan finally is able to talk to Tar.
And the secret is revealed. He got in to Lakeman
College. And she's like, so happy for him. The
issue is that he wants her to come with him,
but it's on the other side of the country and
it's away from their families. And Tara is very
like family forward kind of thing. She doesn't
want to do it. So it kind of creates a rift between
Dylan and Tara. So they're kind of like, they're
also in this spat phase kind of thing. Both couples
are kind of having this little tiff. Yeah, so
let's go back to Nick. Nick, who just had a fight
with Donna, remember, is now in the hot tub with
Sky. And they are getting it on. They're getting
a little freaky. Sky, like full boobs out kind
of thing. Sky, but Sky stops it and says, I want
you to end things with Donna because I don't
want to be just a side piece. Nick kind of is
like, why would I do that? Why would I do such
a thing? That kind of thing. Yeah. Sky then threatens
to tell Donna about everything going on. And
he's just like, well, you just ruined this. So
now we're done. So Nick then leaves the hot tub
and Sky's alone. And Sky is kind of still like
pissed about everything. And so she writes this
really long text to Donna. I couldn't really
read it, so I don't know what it says, but writes
this text to Donna. Now, the message doesn't
go anywhere. We learned earlier on that there's
like no cell reception or anything like that.
So it doesn't really send. But it's just a really
long message she sends to Donna, just kind of
probably explaining what's going on. After she
sends this, fog starts rolling in. And this fog
is definitely like a smoke machine. It's pretty
obvious. But it starts to roll in on Skye, who's
alone in the hot tub. And also just sitting there,
tits out. You know, as you do. As she's sitting
there, she's kind of like closing her eyes. And
an anchor appears to the side of her throat.
And Popeye starts strangling her with it. And
it cuts her in the process. He holds her head
like under the water. So she's like bleeding
in the hot tub. She's being choked and she's
also being held underwater. Skye, yep, she's
dead. And Popeye puts a pipe in his mouth and
he's joined by the crazy lady. This also zooms
in on the phone showing that the message failed
to send to Donna. So yeah, we got six people
down. Now seems like a great time to take a little
break. We will be back on the other side with
more revenge from Popeye. and what else happens
to the teams, the parents, and more after this
break. All right, we're back. It's the next morning.
Nick insists that Sky took a cab home. That's
what he thinks happened to Sky. He thinks Sky
was just, like, pissed off and left. So this
is how they get around explaining that Sky just
is no longer around there. Beanie tries to ask
Kathy out, but he gets rejected. So now that's
a thing. She rejects him of, like, using his
phone and taking a picture of her with, like,
just looking seductive. And basically says, like,
here, you just want me for my body anyway. Why
don't you just masturbate to that, essentially?
Yeah, that's essentially what we get from that.
It's a very weird way to reject someone. But,
you know, that's not me, so I don't know. Beanie
is pissed about this. So he walks off to the
woods alone. And of course, there is fog in the
woods. When he gets to the lake on the outside
of the woods, he finds a boat and he climbs aboard.
And he's like walking around the boat. He starts
to smell something and he can't figure out what
it is. But it's Alan's dead body that he never
actually sees. It's like on the other side of
a wall. And he's like on there, you know, kind
of like never sees it. So he never actually sees
it. He doesn't know that somebody's dead. He
just hops off the boat because he's like, it
smells weird here. So he goes to the pier and
he decides to jerk it to the picture of Kathy
because why the fuck not? Yeah, he goes to a
pier. He pulls his pants down. He looks at the
picture and starts jerking. Before he can finish,
an anchor is jabbed from under the pier straight
into his dick. like straight into it uh yeah
Popeye is there obviously Popeye crawls out of
the water and just rips out his spine uh rips
it from his head with his bare hands like just
spine and this is definitely like a Halloween
prop like it's they cut a skeleton prop and just
had the spine part of it it's so fake looking
but yeah he rips out his spine so Beanie is dead,
missing the spine. It's night two. Nick, Kathy,
and Tara are now relaxing in the hot tub. And
even like Tara's relaxing, like she's not being
type A. And Donna comes over to take a picture.
And so she like gets her phone. And as she's
getting her phone, she gets signal randomly.
And the message from Sky goes through. And so,
yeah, Donna reads the message and is now pissed
at Nick. Like, just absolutely pissed at him.
So both of them kind of storm off. And then we
go back to Tara's parents' house. And they learned
through Dylan's mother that they went to the
house. And, like, they thought that Tara was
just kind of, like, hanging with her friends,
doing a sleepover kind of thing for the weekend
or going camping or whatever they were doing.
Well, now they learn that they are at the Popeye
house. And now it's bad. They need to get there
as soon as possible. So all three of them, Tara's
parents, Laura, George, and then Dylan's mom,
all hop in the car and go. And Dylan's mom's
name is Jane. I didn't know that at this point,
but Dylan's mom's name is Jane. Nick and Donna
are fighting in the house because he cheated.
And Donna leaves. Donna walks away. and nick
is pissed off so he starts punching this wood
board over and over and over again until he's
bleeding plus he's kind of like splintered the
board he's got anger issues like he's just he's
he's like taking it out on this poor wooden board
but you know that's just what he wanted to do
the window smashes open and like it just gets
smashed in And Nick walks over and kind of sees
what it is. It's an empty can of spinach. Yes,
we've got spinach in this movie because it wouldn't
be a Popeye movie without some spinach. So because
the window is open because of the smashed spinach
can, the fog starts rolling in and Popeye is
able to come running in. Nick is able to throw
him to the ground and like starts punching him.
But Popeye grabs his hand and just like breaks
it. Popeye then breaks his other hand. And so
now Nick is kind of like defenseless against
Popeye. Popeye grabs the back of his head and
starts pushing it towards the splintered board
that Nick was punching earlier. And this is how
Nick dies. He gets his head just... put onto
the splintered board so yeah nick is dead donna
is walking towards the cars uh she's gonna take
one of them home because she needs to get out
of there and she sees that there's an axe in
the tires of one of them and basically she just
assumes this was nick trying to get her to not
leave i don't know what she was doing because
like she left nick in the house she must have
done something in the meantime before she goes
to the cars. Like, what did she do in that time
that she thinks that Nick was able to leave the
house, break the tires, and then disappear? But
yeah, so she thinks Nick is trying to get her
to not leave. So he axed the tires of the car.
She goes back to the cabin and she sees that
Nick is dead on the splintered board. After seeing
his corpse, she opens the curtains on the windows
and sees the creepy lady. She's staring through
the window. Then Popeye pops out behind her and
chases her out of the cabin. We do not see what
happens to Donna. We just see that she got chased
out. Meanwhile, Tara overslept and Dylan is waking
her saying they don't know where anyone else
is. Everybody is gone. They don't know where
they are. They find Kathy. So Tara, Dylan, and
Kathy, they meet in the woods where Tara says
they're going to check the lake since the fog
is in again. As they're going to the lake, Tara
finds this picture of a classroom with the students
and everything like that and sees that Tara's
mom is the teacher. And so she's kind of piecing
stuff together, but not really. She pieces little
things here and there, that kind of stuff, but
not all of it. So Donna's running through the
woods. She hides behind a tree. Popeye walks
past her, like walks past the tree, doesn't see
her or anything like that. So she thinks she's
safe. She takes a step out and this net snaps
around her and she's trapped and screaming. She's
stuck in this net. And she's trying to get out,
but she can't. And this net also is kind of like
holding her against the ground. Like she's just
stuck on the ground in this net. And Popeye.
Just so happens to have a big ass lawnmower ready
to go facing her and he runs her over. My thing
is that she was trying to get out. Then she sees
the lawnmower and then she just doesn't attempt
to get out anymore. She just yells at him. Like
it's. It's almost as bad as in Austin Powers
where they're running towards the guy with the
steamroller and he's not getting out of the way
and just yelling. It's almost that bad. Like
she's just stuck in this net, not trying to get
out, just yelling as this lawnmower comes towards
her. Whatever. All right. Tara brings the picture
back to Dylan and Kathy, and they are wondering
why the picture is burnt. They can't figure out
why the picture is burnt. Now the three of them
hear screaming. And they rush that way. Tara
and Dylan are faster than Kathy. And of course,
she trips. She does the whole white girl running
in a scary movie. She trips, falls, and now she's
being chased by Popeye. Luckily for Kathy, a
car rolls in, shining a light on Popeye, catching
his attention. And it's Laura, George, and Jane.
They see that he's there, and he kind of rushes
away now that he... Like now that they shine
the light on him, he kind of runs away because
he's thinking, okay, he might be in trouble here.
So he runs away and the three parents get out
of the car. They leave the keys in the car. Why?
I don't know, but they just do. So the three
are out of the car and Jane's kind of like off
to her own side. And Popeye sneaks behind Jane,
wraps the chain around her neck, choking her.
until her eyes pop out. George being the man
in this tries to square up with Popeye, but then
changes his mind and runs off with Laura. Tara
and Dylan find Laura and George, who then tell
Dylan that, hey, Jane, your mom, she's dead.
Kathy is once again running and she trips over
Jane's dead body. So, you know, as you do. But
she sees that there's a car. And so she also
sees the keys in it. So she gets into the car
and she tries to turn it on, but the engine's
sputtering. Popeye walks up to the car and lifts
the car and flips it over easily. So Kathy's
like in the car upside down. And again, all she
does is scream. She doesn't try to do anything.
She just screams. And there's gas spilling from
the overturned car. And Popeye lights a match
for his pipe and drops it on the gas. Of course,
goes to the car, blows up. Yep, Kathy gone. So
there's only four of them left. It's George,
Laura, Dylan, and Tara. So the four get to a
cabin. And now is the big reveal. Laura has a
secret. Popeye was a student of Laura's. And
when he died, all the people of Sweetville, yes,
it's called Sweetville. This is the first time
we hear it. I'm just like, what? They all had
dreams about rebuilding the house. And so that's
why they did it. That's why the house was rebuilt.
Tara was also like Johnny slash Popeye's age.
And she was the one that tried to stop the bullies
from picking on him. And so Laura was afraid
that something would happen to Tara. So she went
with the mob and burned his house down. She was
part of the mob that killed Popeye. After telling
the secret, the creepy lady pops through the
window and starts stabbing both Laura and George.
And we learned that the creepy lady is Olive
Oil, Johnny slash Popeye's sister. and that she
knew Tara would not be hurt by Johnny because
she showed him love early on. This is the same
woman who kind of said, I hope you all suffer
like he did. Olive was also kept in the basement
before Johnny. We don't know why. We don't know
why Olive was in the basement before Johnny,
but she was. And she was the one that had been
exchanging notes with him. So this is the brother
-sister relationship kind of thing. We also learn
from her that Johnny lives in the fog that rolls
in from the lake, so he can only go where the
fog takes him. He's only a part of the fog. As
she is monologuing about, like, they want to
play, they want to hang out, they want to have
their childhood, not kill people, Dylan tries
to hit her with a frying pan, but Olive is able
to overpower him, and then Tara pours a jug of
gas on her. They grab Laura, who was stabbed,
but she's still alive. They grab her and run
out, but Olive grabs Tara. Well, Dylan just so
happens to have a lighter on hand and says, this
is for my mother, you bitch, and tosses on Olive.
So guess what? Olive, dead, gone. She's no longer
an issue. They got rid of the creepy lady olive
oil. But as they're out there, Popeye sneaks
behind Laura and starts choking her. He also
yells. Tara at her at Tara and so Popeye kills
Laura and so that's another no and then after
like leaving her lifeless corpse he runs at Dylan
and starts beating him senseless just absolutely
destroying him rocking him he is just getting
the absolute shit kicked out of him Tara is able
to get away and wouldn't you know it right in
the area is that big lawnmower. And so she's
able to start the lawnmower. Dylan, he was able
to grab the anchor that Popeye carries around
with him, which has the chain wrapped around
Popeye's legs, throws it, and he's dragged onto
the ground. Perfect for Tara to run him over.
Tara runs him over with the lawnmower. We get
the fakest blood ever. It just spurts from the
lawnmower as Popeye has run over. Partially,
mind you. He's not fully run over. He's just
kind of run over. Dylan and Tara, they save the
day. They embrace. And Dylan asks, at this point
in time, does this mean you will stay with me?
This is not the time, my dude. Her parents died.
Your parents died. Everybody's dead. But you
want to know if she's going to go away with you
to college. Well. I guess everybody's dead. She
doesn't have anything holding him back. So they
embrace, they kiss, everything like that. So
the sun starts to rise. The fog starts to lift.
And Tara throws the keys for the house into the
lake. But these keys, they then pop back out
at her feet. And Popeye grabs her as she screams.
Credits roll. It's over. Yeah, that's it. That's,
that's Popeye's revenge. So, uh, yeah. Um, this
was a movie. This was definitely a movie. I was
really excited because I saw Popeye and I was
like, I want, I wanted to do Popeye the Slayer,
man. That's really what I wanted to do. But that
is a 43 % on Rotten Tomatoes. Uh, so I couldn't
do it. It's too high a score, that kind of thing.
So I couldn't do it. Um, then I saw Shiver Me
Timbers. I was like, maybe this one. No, that's
a 58 % on Rotten Tomatoes. But then, as I'm scrolling
Tubi, I found Popeye's Revenge. This is a 3 .2
out of 10 on IMDb. There's no Rotten Tomatoes
score, so that's, by my calculations, a 32%.
Perfect. Good enough. Let's do it. Yeah. I would
have loved this movie if it had some more creative
kills. And that's... I know that sounds bleak
and everything like that, but this is what I
watch scary movies for. If you're going to be
a B horror movie, you got to have some cool kills.
The fact that most of the time he was just choking
somebody with an anchor. It got kind of boring
after a while with that. The fog was an interesting
idea that he can only go with the fog, that kind
of thing. I didn't mind that so much because
it kind of gave him like a ghostly apparition
kind of thing. We've done. he loved you as a
kid and so now he doesn't want to harm you okay
it's brother sister okay um you know it's just
kind of that was it's every trope in this movie
every every trope was over and over and over
again in this movie like it was trope the movie
it was i would have loved if it was a little
more unique with it if you're gonna be a concept
like this like make it a little more fun make
it Popeye, not just choking everybody, you know,
that's, that's the hardest part is that it was
just Popeye's going to choke everybody. Okay,
fine. Whatever. It gets boring after a while,
but whatever. I wish they used a little more
of the spinach. I thought that was funny. I thought
that was one of my favorite parts was that the
spinach broke the window to let the fog in. I
thought that was a unique idea. That was kind
of fun. I wish they would have done a little
more with it. I think that's why I wanted to
watch Popeye the Slayer, man, because it's at
an abandoned spinach factory. But, you know,
like I said, it's not bad enough. We are a bad
movie podcast. We got to do the worst of the
worst. So this one was. I think it's worse than
Cinderella's Revenge. I think it's worse than
Ferris of them all. Because it was a lot of fake,
a lot of dumb, and a lot of characters you really
weren't cheering for. It was totally okay with
all the teens getting it in the end. None of
them had any redeeming qualities. Even Tara,
who you're supposed to cheer for, she was so
uptight that she... was annoying to me. Cause
that was her only personality was just, we gotta
do this. We gotta do this. The weather. Oh my
God. You know, that kind of stuff that, that
was nothing redeeming about any of them. So I
was totally okay with all of the teams getting
just absolutely decimated. So, yeah. What'd I
give this movie out of five? I would probably
give it. A .25 out of five of spinach cans breaking
through windows. Yeah, that's probably the best
I can do. Because, like, Cinderella's Revenge
was good comparatively. Fairest of them all was
better. I wish they would have done more with
that concept, but it was better. So, yeah, I
think this one has to be three out of three so
far for spoopy season. So, yeah, Popeye. I think
is a character that would be a lot of fun as
a horror villain. And maybe I'll watch those
other two just as a good movie, just because,
because maybe they do something fun with it.
Now that being said, we get three more from this
director and this company. So who knows, maybe
they'll strike gold next time, depending on everything
that happened with this one. But yeah, so that's
Popeye's revenge. That is the third episode of
spoopy season. We've got two more still to come.
Next one is another ITN distribution. It has
a lot of the same cast. So yeah, it's going to
be interesting on that one. And then the final
one is completely different, but it just needs
to happen. So yeah, we are... Looking forward
to the rest of spoopy season. Two more episodes.
I hope you're as excited as I am. And then we'll
get back to our normal content when we go to
November. But yeah, two more spoopy season episodes.
And that will do it for this episode of Game
for a Movie where we ask, are you game for a
movie? I've been Mike, your host. Thank you guys
very much for tuning in to hear about Popeye's
Revenge. And I will see you next time for our
next spoopy season episode. Bye.
