for one more story. Close Encounters. I kind of wanted to watch Close Encounters again. I haven't watched that forever. It's pretty good movie. It's pretty great. Yeah. Drive us into potatoes, de-wild us and shit. Has anyone done a fucking Close Encounters Jaws mashup ever? What would be the mash-out? The aliens are sharks. The mashed potatoes part? The aliens are sharks. The aliens are sharks. A bunch of verses come out. Yeah, the ramp comes down, the light blows, and there's a bunch of sharks.
Just slide out around fucking Shamu with a fuzzy world show. Space Jaws! Do-do-do-do-do-do-do Space Jaws! Is there Space Jaws yet? No. That's Toilet Jaws Part 3. Jaws X. Space Jaws. Space Jaws. Space Jaws for sure. I'm going to have fucking Johns on the plane toilet first. But that's like plane jaws But like, like Elon Musk decides to bring a shark to space with him. Because why not? Because fuck your employees and why not bring a shark next time? Save the fucking world or give, you know.
I want to put shark meat into a black hole and then eat it afterwards because I'm Elon Musk and I'm a weirdo. I carry it on the outside so it gets crispy on my re-entry. Oh, there you go. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Space fried jaws. Because I'm that rich, motherfuckers. No one on the planet has ever had space fried jaws. That's how I cook my food. Suck it. Everyone else.
Yeah, that's a bummer. Save a bunch of people or space fried shark. I mean, you can say that about any movie, too. I'm always like, How they fucking made Garbage Pail Kids the movie that could have fed a small country. Yeah, that's true. But now we got Garbage Pail Kids the movie. And the joy that it's brought in me. No. It unfed me. I actually puked. You lost food. Yeah, I lost food. It starved me for an afternoon.
starve me of two dollars and probably some terrible food that I ate. How are you guys doing? Oh, good. Ryan, I know. I'm glad you asked, because I've got a list of complaints. We should make this a new segment. Oh, God, Brian, so thank you for asking. So, firstly, I lost my therapist. My computer keeps doing this thing. It's like, let me explain my minor computer problem. After we're talking about world hunger.
My finder literally doesn't even respond. Doesn't even yield results that I asked for specifically. And I look for the file. I'll actually physically look in the folders. There it is. Exactly like I searched for it. Same spelling. What the fuck? That's number one A. Number one B. Extremely expensive computer. I'm fucking Elon Musk Jr. over here. I've been cooking this sandwich on my computer because it's so warm. making paninis. I put two hot IMAX together back to back.
After trying to rip DVDs from them. I wonder why they're not working. Do they gotta be upright? Is the cheese bad for the internal parts of computers? Oh, it can't be. No. I got cheese in my disk drive. It's absolutely cheese, right? These are mostly made of cheese. You put it in like a toaster, right? Right in the disk drive. The thing that's in store is for making bologna hot. Put a Kraft signal right in the slot. Easy.
It's like it was made for. I tried to download it and make copies. I was almost out. I was in my finder searching for cheese. Nothing came up. I'm like, I put cheese right in the fucking list. I just want to put it in there. On my computer, this literal cheese. I can't find it. I don't get it. I search cheese. I'm like, did you know you just ate all my cheese? I just fed you some cheese.
What a dumb computer. This thing is trash. This thing, what do I pay all that money for? God damn. Fuck, they call it an apple. It's supposed to be good with food. Yeah, it's called, it's named after food. I like cheese apples together. Come on. Gotta get a cheese squad in there. Exactly.
It's us. We are back again. Coming at you with the freshest jokes. What's new? What do we got going on? We just decided to pull it out of our ass because we wanted to do Slither. We're doing Slither. Slither. James Guns. Slither. Is it his first movie? It's his best movie. It might be. It's one of my favorites. I saw this motherfucker in the theater. Wow, really? Yeah. That was my one, Wilson. Wow. Wow. This movie reeks of the time frame.
it was like maiden you know like all the movies around this time had kind of a certain feel to them sure you know that the jeepers creepers and the fucking cabin fevers and the whatever else is that came out around this time It's like the kind of meta, funny, but now it's also like... they're moving away from the Scream stuff and just like it's people making shit that they
they used to like in the 80s and 70s and shit they're like oh we'll do that again i definitely feel like this is like yeah before they went super retro with it they're like we'll take this to an idea but still be in the now yeah with this terrible fashion we have going on in the early aughts but you know that like he I feel like really pushed that for people like Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez that's like start hey we can do retro shit like that to like do
yeah oh yeah shit right i mean like he went hard on the references which i appreciate yeah yeah i do like that totally for he does that he fucking fully does that yeah he worked for trauma before And that's why Lloyd Kaufman's in the fucking... And that's why they have another, like, toxic Avengers on TV and shit. Yeah, they're fucking buds. And so he directed some shit from them. Some not good shit, but some stuff. So he's really funny.
this this is he's great at writing like comedy without i don't know if it feels not as forced as some comedy that i've seen like i don't know something about his comedy just feels natural yeah to the characters it's always really fucking funny and smart that's it also but there's a natural yeah because he's a smart fucking dude like it feels like he
he's a nerd he's a fucking nerd and and i love that about him because i'm a fucking nerd and i'm right there for these fucking weird you know these these just straight up references and shit just signs in the town or whatever good ass jokes i mean like there's so many it's hard to do comedy right it really is right it's a it's a fucking skill for sure yeah and i think i think he's really great at it without making it be like So...
Over the top. I don't know. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but there's something not forced about his comedy that I really appreciate. It's authentic comedy. Yeah. I feel like he comes from this weird drama school, because that's where he really cut his teeth. But that shit's not funny. You know, like all that fucking... It's unintentionally funny. Yeah. I think Troma thinks they make comedy movies almost exclusively.
but they're never like i've never watched any even toxic avenger i haven't sat there and been like i think yeah we're i think people are laughing about how bad they are right right it's like this is this is weird and janky and strange and that's why like he outgrew that very fast But I think he's a great filmmaker. But I think he really learned the chops from fucking Lloyd. I mean, if you want to learn about filmmaking... And using your money fucking smart. Yeah, that's a quick school.
like that what better way to be by Lloyd going like I see all the things I'm gonna do different once I get out of here but this is how to get a movie completed from start to finish because you can write whatever you want but you'll learn how to do that
yeah and he's i mean it's rad because he's gone to all these rad marvel movies and shit and like i like that he takes like the weird approach those those big blockbuster movies he doesn't go for the obvious or see the guardians and now he's doing uh
Suicide Squad and then they offered him like fucking Batman or Superman or some of the big names where he's like nah I'll do Suicide Squad and I'll pick the weirdest characters from comic books and then make them fucking so awesome and lovable but they're the fucking funkiest Did you ever think you could see that fucking shark guy?
in live action or the fucking dot guy whoever the fuck that character is just throwing out dots like what the fuck is that it's so dumb and you know you're gonna fall in love with him though because he's gonna do that character right yeah exactly which is i really appreciate that about him i'm excited for that and i wasn't excited about those other Oh, no, not at all. I did not know who he was when I first saw this, and I did see this in the theater also. And I thought, like,
When I went into it, I just thought it was just going to be run-of-the-mill. I didn't even realize it was going to be a horror comedy. I don't think I even saw really much trailers for it.
It was just like the only horror movie at the time that I could go see or whatever. I think I've seen trailers for it, and I know that me and Shane and Josh Drake were all really excited for it. We all worked together. Okay. So we were all working together in 2006 when it came out. We're like, we're going to go see this fucking today. I think today was the first time I've actually seen it all the way through.
really i've seen parts of it for sure and i think i've tried watching it a couple times out for something i just didn't finish it but like this is my first time i could start to finish it now i'm actually watching the whole thing yeah i i always thought about this movie for like picking it for an episode but it always falls in the horror comedy category, and I'm always like, with you i'm just like i don't want to like always shove that down dude pick what you like it's pretty scary and
and successful and every time i mean i saw the theater you know you know i love the loms bud don't worry about that when i i kept seeing pictures of the of the woman who was taken and filled with fucking slugs. Yeah. And I was like, I don't remember that being in the movie. It happened so quickly and I've forgotten about it. Really?
That's unforgettable. Yeah, to me, that's like one of the big markers for this movie. I kind of wish I didn't know about that scene until it happened. I mean, I've seen the image before I've actually seen the movie, which kind of sucks. To be surprised, see that in the theaters and be surprised by that fucking shit. I would have been insane. Yeah. She looks like that, and she goes, something's wrong with me. No shit. I love, yeah, there's, oh my god. I laughed.
so hysterically when homeboy like she's like what's wrong what's going on he's like starting to get all lumpy and bumpy he's like oh it's a little bee sting a little bee sting dude that is so fucking funny because he looks so wretched his face is all slipped a little beast and his delivery was so good oh my god that killed me he kills it uh michael rooker michael rooker henry yeah yeah
I can't ever shake that it's Henry, but he's in everything. He's in so many things. He's always a villain. He's always a villain. Even in Mallrats, he's a fucking villain. He's a villain in everything. I kind of want to see him not be a villain in something. I mean, he kind of wasn't in Guardians. Yeah, but he was, and then he wasn't. Yeah. Yeah.
But he's good at it. He's very good at it. He's good at being scary. He's a scary guy. But he seems like he might be a rad dude outside of being a villain in movies. Like him personally, he might be a really fucking cool guy. He was one of the first people when shit started happening with James Gunn getting fucking canceled.
off of some tweet from fucking 20 years ago. Some Dom stuff, too. He was one of the first people to fucking, like, get out and, like, was fully backing, like, James Gunn and stuff. And, like, you know, I understand, like, canceling shit sometimes when, yeah, there might be some shit that needs to be canceled, but, like, if you're making a joke ten years ago, you know? You gotta have room to grow, too. Yeah. Like, okay, maybe the joke didn't land. It's not great.
yeah but again it was like 20 years ago is he making those jokes currently still no he's not and that was like the only thing like there's you know sometimes like that will happen and everyone's like oh and then this and then this and then boom It was like, that was fucking it, you know? And obviously, like, people came to their fucking senses because his ass got fired and then rehired again, you know?
All the people from Guardians were like, we want him back. Yeah, DC went and swooped his ass up real quick. Right? yeah like and he i think i mean especially starting here but like all those movies like them or not they're fucking well done they're fucking smart yeah and i'm there for him he's a great filmmaker to me it's like him and taika are like the two dudes that have like come up that like
They have the love for horror, so they can add elements of that into everything they do. But they're also super funny, and they're smart. yeah they could do no wrong in my opinion yeah nothing seems forced yeah with their work this movie it's funny because it's such like it's and he does not hide it we've talked about this before on other episodes but It's such an homage to everything he loves.
Yeah, it's a perfect drive-in movie. Oh, yeah. I would love to have seen it in the drive-in when it came out. That would have been so sick. Because it's like a continuation of Outside a lot of the time. Like Outside at Night, it's Outside at Night, this movie. Right, right.
I mean, yeah, it's certainly, you know, call back to the blob or none of the creeps or any of those kind of body snatchers. I mean, like, all kinds of shit. I had forgotten about the end, too. That's society, for sure. Just lean in and decide.
just living room full of skin yeah yeah that's all you know like it's just straight up that was straight shunting for days yeah massive big old shunt yeah i mean you just saw a guy just like get right in it yeah oh my god yeah just lay right in it and spread it out but like the makeup is so dope
The digital effects are a little jank. They look terrible. To me, I forgive it because I've seen way worse. Even some of the slugs up close are pretty fucking good. Like when I was going to the bathroom, I'm like, that looks like it works. Yeah, and they switch back enough to, like, a real thing between those slugs and do it quick, and then they're moving still, so it's fairly forgivable, you know? Yeah.
two or three shots in particular this made them like those special effects are horrible yeah and it usually has to do with the worms the slugs or whatever mostly and then there's that deer that looked real bad too no that deer was fucking and he i think he even said he hates and that deer looked like shit he hates that deer and and and when they
When Brenda explodes and all the fucking worms come out, and then they realize he'll cover your mouth when he gets down on the ground and covers Starla's mouth and everything, and they all cover it. Yeah, that's the scene that looks really particularly bad. He hates it. To this day, I know that shit. I agree. I know it's bad. It's forgivable, though. Homeboy gets fucking whipped in half
So dope I was really impressed by how he's like lifting his eyebrows It's just a little bit. I'm like that's so smart. It's not the obvious choice to do but it's like enough of a tease before it
fully falls apart. And it was like, when I saw that in the theater, I was like, floor because i was like oh this is where this is what we're doing right now you know and already kind of see the fucking the yeah just the weird lumpy weird dangly arm and shit when he's fucking doing the squid arm and stuff yeah i love that guy's like This is a little Lyme disease. We're going to be outside and be careful for the Lyme disease. The Lyme disease will jump out at you.
It's so rad. And this cast, too, is... I mean, even the no-names are fucking dope. Oh, my God. They are so dope. Talk about the year 2006, August of Canada. And I think that was... hire a bunch of Canadian actors. That's part of the deal when you film Canada. Of course, yeah. So he just literally held an Ugo convention. I got a contest. Who's ugliest Canadian? Those background fucks. When they shoot the kids in the class. She's teaching when they show any background characters
Dude, in the fucking bar when they're dancing. I mean, I commend him for hiring. I mean, you know, I complain when movies are just like movie star looking teenagers, like everyone's a supermodel. Like I don't like that. Yeah. But I might not also like when everyone's an ogle. Like,
Sure, everyone's got to be interesting looking, yes. But has everyone got to be a fucking pile? I'm not saying I'm not a pile myself. Did the movie start already? Are these mutants already? We're already jumping into it, huh? There's already a miss. I love it, though. I feel like that has to be somewhat of a conscious decision to do that, you know? Like, is it supposed to be kind of a backwoodsy town? Yeah, wheelsy, whatever. I mean, and, like,
if I was casting a movie and there's 15 people standing there, I'm going to probably pick the funky looking folks. Well, you want to pick the people that are the most interesting, though. be on camera yeah and if i'm gonna find out if i need someone to be my lead and they're gonna be an unconventional lead like he picked an unconventional lead matt yeah nathan fillion i hate
to this day. I hate him. I'm glad because I did not. I thought he delivered lines very well, but I didn't care for him. He wasn't jiving with me at all. He's fine in this. Everything else, I just don't care about him. To me, I feel like he seems like a stunt double for an actual actor.
I guess this is the first thing I saw him in, and I've seen him in other things I don't really necessarily mind him in, but I'm always like, that dude is... Well, he is an interesting-looking dude. He's a funky-looking dude. Yeah, but he's like... He might be a Canadian actor himself. He is, he is, and he's on the more... hunky side of funky. It's one of the hunky. It's one of the hunk and hunky.
Wait, is that right? Buddy, if I'm gonna fuck with some funk, I'm gonna fuck with his funk, as opposed to, like, some of the other funk. Hugs funk. Yeah, yeah. What? Yeah, funky hunk. Hunky funk. Yeah. but he's still funky looking and and there's just something i don't know about him that i just i just don't like i'm not i'm also not big elizabeth elizabeth banks oh yeah that's where i'm like i'm a full-blown fan i am
yeah and i can't believe i did not recognize her i can't believe i didn't remember that she was in this because i'd already seen stella and 40 year old virgin all the things i love her yeah well she was in i haven't seen her in these things she's very she's good in all those things i totally agree about she's not the biggest fan of her I think she kills it in this movie. I think she does too. I think she does a great job. I do love her. She does kill it in this movie.
But I can't believe when I saw her pop on screen, I didn't do it. You know, I got one cold. Yeah. You know? Yeah, you haven't done it at all. So I was like, I just turned it on and was like, Elizabeth Banks is in this movie. Yeah. Holy shit. Did not even expect it. I mean, the cast, the rest of the folks, even like the main characters, like the other cops and stuff, are just weirdos like i love it like i love it so much that weird old cop is so funny oh yeah like
And then the weird other young guy cop is super funny too. I liked his fucking partner, man. The beginning when he's talking about the fucking being able to clock things, and then it's like, it's like, oh, I'm about 30, 31. And then, like, pause for a good minute. No, maybe 32. Like, oh, my God, dude, that's so funny. You're killing me. You thought about so hard, I just went off of one. Are you talking about a whippoorwill? And then, like, and at the same time, you're like,
Okay, these are the guys that are going to see the meteor. And no one, it just goes right behind him. It's probably the shoddy birds. I don't even see a thing. Fucking Wally. Yeah. Luckily, and I feel like having him with
the nathan fillion character like i think that helps you know i think if it was just like stone like just him alone trying to do shit yeah i feel like elizabeth banks is the only like actual actor in this other than michael rooker oh yeah but like she's a star yeah right yeah she sticks out And this crowd of Uggos. The town of Uggos. The town of Uggos, yeah. Some of the people, though, that I feel like aren't even actors.
did some amazing shit she might she might be the mutant because she's the only pretty one yeah She got the weird inbred genes that turn her into a gorgeous woman. Yeah, if you're the odd one out, just because you're strikingly good-looking, everyone's like, well, you're not the standard of beauty in this town. Well, if you notice, only he's holding a fucking flame for her. Everyone else doesn't really seem to care.
And I'm like looking around and like, dude, she's the hottest one here besides the fucking girl in the bathtub. What are you guys doing? Y'all should be more supposed to be underage. You should have made her the mayor. I love the mayor, though. The mayor is such a fucking asshole. Piece of shit. But that actor kills it in this movie. He's got some of the best lines.
ever i quote them still like he cracked was like a good cutaway where he's he did his presentation at the bar and he went up on stage and talked whatever but then they're playing the song and everyone's dancing and he's like all drunk off the corner and he's like playing drums on the goddamn stand-up bass while the dude's playing the bass that was so fucking funny it's just like a split second it's just like a weird little moment but i thought it was fucking hilarious introduction too
Move, you fucking cocksucker. The girl right there is like, hi, mayor. So rad. Everything out of his mouth is kind of gold. I'm telling you. For another reason, if you like that actor, put that DVD of Body Double on. He's in that, huh? He's in that too? Yeah. Does he have that fucking blonde hoof? Yeah. Really? It's his trademark hoof. Who the fuck is he in Body Double? He plays the guy that sets Craig Wasson up in the apartment.
Oh! The pervy porno guy. I mean, he's been in like... He's been a ton of shit. Yeah, his like fucking resume is huge. But he can play an asshole mayor any day in my life. He's so good, yeah. As long as fucking James Gunn's writing the one-liners. He's good and everything. I'm a fucking poor guy, though. He really, he had to watch him snack on a person eventually. And he had to sympathize. He's like, aww, snack.
I love when you have someone like that who's such an asshole, and then you have this weird moment where you feel bad for them. I thought they were setting him up for a big old kill, and he didn't really get that. No. I love how easy he goes. It's a comedy how fast he goes. Like, Kiyomi's like, okay, okay. It's so bad. I know, it's like, shit. We were hating him, like, this whole time. He's such a prick. And then, yeah, it's an easy app. Motherfucker. And any other sympathetic character is like,
Kill me! And you're like, oh god, it's hard, wrenching in my face. Oh, you're a fucking asshole. Oh, okay, sure. He already had his gun out. Like, he was going to kill me. He's like, yeah. He's got that fucking line about, where's my fucking Mr. Pibb? You guys know it's the only coke I like. I love it. This movie is shot in the furthermost northern part of North America, and he's talking like he's from the south. And I have family members that speak exactly like that.
Give me a Coke. What kind? Orange. Yeah. Yeah. A Coke is a soda. Yeah. A Coke is a soda. I just love those. That's the only Coke I like. I love it. Yeah. How much money think Pib kicked out? Jesus Christ. everything's branded in town and everything but it's all shit that's making like references to movies yeah i mean the high school is like a homie from tremors yeah yeah there's a there's also a character one of the things is named or one of the
The Dads or something. He's named after a dude from The Stand. Oh, yeah. Randall Flagg. Yeah. McCready. Yeah. I love that there's a Hen and Lauder one that got me. Yeah, the Hen and Lauder one. But the R.J. McCready thing's funny, but it says auctioneer and funeral home.
Which is like, that's like the business. I'm like, okay. This is some fucking Texas Chainsaw type shit. The only one I saw and recognized was Hen and Lauder because that name is, you know. Totally. It's not a name that goes anywhere else. But it's cool, like, they have, you know,
Kurt Russell's character from The Thing, and then, like, gets to work with Kurt Russell, and the Guardians, like, totally rad. Yeah, you know, he was flippin'. Fuck yeah, and that's why he got cast, right? Like, he... without a doubt he got he asked him to be part he seems like he's a huge part of the casting of his movies because he's got michael rookers and everything and because
Even the guy who put the mirrors in a bunch of shit, right? Yeah, he has his cast. Which, thank God they're good, right? Yeah. They're interesting people, and he loves them from probably long before he started thinking about writing movies. I'm sure, yeah. Being a horror fan.
you know michael booker immediately like he's like henry i'm casting that dude you know yeah he's a great villain yeah he's scary without makeup i haven't seen him i've seen him in henry then i saw him in mall rats and i saw him in this yeah you know and then all of a sudden he's everywhere i've been in merle in 2010 yeah yeah but like like it's funny because like in my opinion that he him as an actor is really hard to make lovable and somehow he was able to do that in guardians where like
that's that's the feat right like he somehow they both somehow made that work because like that shouldn't work he shouldn't have come back from fucking henry in my opinion like Dude, what? Like, how did he fucking come back? Yeah, it's hard. But yeah, here you are in Guardians 2 crying over him. Yeah, I was, yeah, crying big old tears. Big old fat tears. Big fat old tears.
but yeah he's he's just so good and so scary always but yeah yeah so much of this movie though i mean once once the fucking thing gets pushed like whatever like shot into him you know like it just goes and it's like so like i feel like i can just smell it
like i just smell this movie from that point on because whenever they have to enter a basement or something it's just like i was ready to puke just watching elizabeth banks go down the stairs yeah you guys are not even meat eaters and you're looking at all this fucking flesh i love that when he you know like the cutaway factory
kind of freaked out after getting uh the thing stuck in him but then he's just like me smiling looking at me you know i always think it's weird though because he elizabeth bank's character after he's gotten changed yeah you know Yeah, we shot some alien goo up in it for sure. Yeah, like I feel like...
I thought that was going to be the tag on the movie that she was pregnant with his fucking... Yeah. His yucky baby. You have to have those two other fucking dicks to do it. To do the little fucking tental dicks. I like that. I do like... I mean, he might have double penned down there, too. We don't know. We don't know what their fucking was like. She had a good time. She came out and changed on the other end. She was very happy. She was awakened.
when the girl gets one in the mouth in the bathtub and then she's like when it flashes back to other planets being destroyed and all that stuff and then all of a sudden she finally escapes it and now she can
Tell them all the goods. Like, nope, you need to have both of the fucking prongs. Right, right. Like, they all have the same mind. I watched it through. And she knew how to kill him, like, with fire and things. That grossed me out so much, though, at the end, when he gets the one in him, and he's like, his shit's coming out of his mouth that white stuff and everything like
I'm just like, that still can't be good for you. Alien Jizz. It can't be good for you even just with one of them. I think he's dead. I think that dude is fucking dead a minute later walking down the street. There's some after credit scene that I haven't seen yet. I was trying to watch it today and it wasn't on the version I watched. supposedly like it shows like a cat and then there's like one worm left or whatever and it fucking squirrels up its butt real quick yeah something like that
Right in the pooper. Wait, that's not how it gets in you. Oh, that's not? Well, maybe it was I watching. I was watching the porno of Slyther. I do love like... the scene in the bathtub is obviously full nightmare on elm street totally nod and then also the top view of it it fully looks like sperm going it's real gross yeah it's real gross Highly sexual. Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess originally they were going to show the two twin girls get it in the mouth, and he was like,
It's too sexual. We're just going to not show it at all. That's a good choice. That's a good choice. I'll do it to the girl who's of age. Yeah, yeah. I think this movie fucking rocks up until that girl pops, and then all the little sluggies get on there. I kind of get bored when the slugs start happening. I find the... The mutant shit, the lumps and bumps shit, way more cool and interesting and fascinating. I wanted that to continue on instead of like,
spending all this time with the fucking slugs and body snatcher bullshit. Yeah. It's funny because he doesn't mention it too much, but it is so much of Night of the Creeps. Oh, I mean, night time. I mean, obviously he's doing Night of the Living Dead 2, but yeah, definitely the slug. The slug in the brain. Definitely not the creeps. Yeah. I don't know, for some reason it just feels like a different movie at that point, and I just, I'd prefer the...
the other movie that happened before. Yeah. I like that more of that. And then obviously it comes back in spades with the fucking society shit at the end. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, fuck and i love the fuck i love big brenda because that's so absurd oh that's fantastic but like and i
I kind of I could have almost done with more of those and you kind of start seeing them get there but not obviously they don't have enough time to get the fucking chunkies running around the bellies that get next to them that was great that old lady in the basement she's very scary so legit very scary so dope But yeah, just like the stuff we were just mentioning, like the girl on the tub and her whole family, I found that to be pretty boring, to be honest.
i do like the idea of like they're all connected so like when they start coming back to life and they all start talking to her as Grant.
yeah i think that's really cool that's like a twist on it yeah i like that the grant's name is grant grant grant grant grant what the fuck well even before he gets possessed like his character is so silly to me and like such a just like he's all jacked up when she like comes into bed and she's got her curlers and shit and he's like fucking hard as a rock just ready to go and I read that like
that scene when he like flicks her fucking nipple dude that was killing me they were like so funny i guess like yeah they're like he was definitely like probably gone a little too much really he didn't ask permission if that wasn't planned Well, that thing I think was planned, but I think some of the producers were trying to get that cut because I just did not like it. Well, I mean, it shouldn't be obnoxious, right? Yeah. But it's fucking funny. It's funny.
And when he's just kind of groping her in bed, I think that was fully real. Jesus, that's fucking great. Yeah, I liked that part. He's just like a little kid in bed waiting for her. Just so happy. They give you just enough backstory. So this guy married... high school girl, essentially. Right. Like, put her through college. Right. She was already, like, had money and, like, had a fucking nice car and, like, nasty. Grant's nasty.
Graham Grant. Gigi. Gigi. Is next. Lumpy Grant. And be a little turd girl. Like a piece of shit. Oh my god, dude. He's a funny kid. He's doing his shit.
even when he's not really acting like an asshole it's just funny because you're an asshole you know like imagine that dude was your actual dad like jesus christ oh my god you know it's likely that he's got kids somebody out there yeah i mean he's got a rocking bod so I can see how he can knock someone up what's funny too in like mall rats he's you know all about that shit they show him a lot doing fucking karate and fucking
I can't see it without thinking of him licking chocolate off his face. Doodoo chocolate. Doodoo chocolate, yeah. That's just... I blame Kevin Smith for just being a disgusting person. You know, what's funny is I think I saw him in Mallrats before I saw him as Henry. Same. Definitely. The first time I've ever seen him in was Mallrats. So that was a weird, weird thing because I was like,
wait a second, that's fucking doodafingers. But then it quickly gets so fucking raw dog that I'm like, oh, that's not doodafingers anymore. I forgot. You're Henry. I'm sorry I said doodafingers earlier.
I don't know this to me like if I was to make a movie and like pull all the shit together that I love and just kind of touch on it it's this you know yeah well that is like he made it like it's his last movie it's his first and last right right like he might not get another chance who knows i mean like you know I think because he was done working with Troma, and this is like his first chance to make something big. I want to do what I want.
by the look of the font at the end it could be his last movie as far as i was concerned the font is is garbage yeah you don't use a typewriter font for your no what are you doing yeah and i wonder what the budget was for this movie because like i feel like it seems fairly modest obviously there's probably leaps and bounds above what he oh damn
leaps and bounds what he had done anywhere before how the fuck a bajillion million dollars that's pretty low budget compared to movies these days but thinking about like if we there's a lot of like early cgi i mean that shit Expansive, I'm sure. Sure. But I just, I'm like, imagine walking off of trauma and being like, I'm going to make a movie. Okay, here's $15 million. Lloyd's like, you motherfucker. That's probably why he's like, I'll do everything I've ever wanted to do.
Yeah, what the fuck? That's crazy. I feel like that's the most money I've ever seen. I feel like I probably would have liked the the night living dead shit more if i had seen it at the time before all the walking dead and before like oh my god the song just got too fucking played out yeah
It might have been a little more fresh for me. Yeah, yeah. But since I'm watching it now. I think 2006 was pretty fresh for me. I was in it. For sure. For sure. I mean, you all know that. And also, because I'm a nerd, I'm like, well, those aren't regular zombies. Those are fucking swarm zombies, you know, so.
i'm like you know i'm not i'm not hung up on all the night of living dead shit you know that i i was very much so at that time i was i mean i still am i know those long movies but yeah it's funny because they're talking about like those two little girls like James Gunn had some quote where he's like, you know what's really hard is trying to make two 11-year-old girls walk like zombies. For some reason, I couldn't fucking understand. They suck. They suck, yeah.
That's probably why I don't really remember seeing them. I remember the dad was pretty good at it. The mom was pretty good at it. Yeah. The people that can kind of relate or probably have seen, I'm sure those girls hadn't seen anything yet. Yeah, there's no reference for it. We'll play a fucking...
dawn of the dead and day of the dead and so you can get an idea of what we're looking for oh god she's pretty creepy though out of the fucking wall oh yeah she's having that dream like when she was like teasing the girl from outside the car i thought that was pretty fucking crazy yeah but kind of like also kind of like silly you know like but the movie is the movie's silly yeah so you can do that you can flick nipples yeah yeah i like to yeah celebrate at the deer chair with a deer
the weasley deer it's weird to think about this because there's those towns where they they have a fucking big deer season and everyone goes and hunts and sure You know, it's so weird to me to think about like that, where the town closes down because everyone's out in the fucking woods shooting each other. Do they say what state that's in? I don't know, they never mentioned it. That's just Canada. It's just Canada.
Is it supposed to be Canada or is it supposed to be? No, it just feels like the South. Yeah, it feels that way. They'll kind of have that Hick accent. The universal Hick accent that could be anywhere. Exactly, yeah. Which I think is funny, because then they have this mayor who's got this fucking, you know, fucking doof, haircut, a blonde, and I'm like, does he think he's fucking... Guy Fieri? Guy Fieri, yeah. Don't you talk shit about Guy Fieri. Love him.
See, I met him too many times. I don't love him. Why did you meet him so many times? He fucking came to the skate shop I worked at all the time because his fucking kid skated. Toolbox! Sorry. Yeah. And that was before he really hit it big, so I can only imagine he's just in a bigger toolbox now. No, he's actually pretty great. Have you met him before, too? I've only met him once. No, I've never really met him in person, but...
He gave so much money to out-of-work hospitality people last year. It's insane. But see, to me, that's what everyone should do. If you have money, why wouldn't you do that? But, I mean, he also, I mean, he employs a bunch of people I know. I'll write for that show and everything, too. I do like, I mean, I like watching his shit. He's such an easy target that I feel like, I feel lazy if I make fun of Guy Fieri. Sure, and I would if I never heard of him before. Since I personally like...
had to deal with him, I feel confident in being like, he's a douchebag. But... But I know, but I, you know, I read all that stuff too. I was like, oh, that's cool. He's at least not 100%, you know. Do-ish. Yeah, I thought this one, I mean, it's entertaining all the way through. Yeah, you're getting
You get a James Gunn cameo. You get a fucking... Who was he? He was the teacher that was like a doof. Hank at the beginning. Oh, really? He tried to talk to Grant, and then Grant just fucking... I know what he wants, and then fucking... Oh, right, right. Yeah. oh no shit that's James Gunn and then his fiance's in it fucking Pam from the office yeah and again so that was remember I was telling you about
When we did Critters recently with Blanche. There's a lot of the fucking same beats with her on the fucking mic or on the whatever, the walkie-talkies and shit. at the police station or whatever yeah very much so like where you know but she does a good job i feel like and she was like a backup plan because they had another actor who then wanted out of their contract. Oh, really? And so then he just got his wife in there. Oh, cool. But she kills it. Well, the office hadn't started yet.
No, the office had popped off. It was already very popular. She actually did some of the PR because she was a blown up fucking person. Even though she's in it for five minutes, you know? Right. I feel like even more so than this, it's like a Twin Peaks-y kind of thing. I'd say it was Twin Peaks influenced both of them. Oh, yeah. Because the dispatch. Yeah. Andy, you know? Yeah, totally. Yeah. There's just something...
wholesome and funky about both of them. Yeah. Critters into this. And because it's like space alien shit, you know, too. True, true. Yeah. You know, same thing with Night of the Creep, so, you know. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'd see Critters being an influence on James Gunn for sure. It's got to be. Everyone's, you know, anything like that. It's funny because he lists off a few movies that are his influences.
supposedly for this movie i don't see barely any of those and i i'm like but it's this and this and it's definitely critters it's not the thing it's almost like he didn't he he kind of wanted to make it like so he wasn't extremely biting he only picked the good things that he's like guys so yeah i definitely stole critters
No one's going to be like, I borrowed from Critters. I knew it. Critters are going to be like, give me some fucking money, James Gunn. Fund the next, fund Critters 5. I was trying to see his list of like... Well, Night of the Living Dead, for sure. The Thing, for sure. Mm-hmm. Night of the Creeps, for sure. Anything's got night in the beginning of the title. Because it takes place at night. Anything's got night. I mean, the blob, obviously. Yeah, definitely, yeah.
And it's cool, but I do like that he went the sci-fi horror route, you know? I bet Society was also an influence. Oh, he did that. Of course. He hasn't said that. What? How the fuck? I mean, that's definitely. Right? Definitely. Like, it's so fucking... I mean, it can't be anything else. There's no way I just pulled that off.
fucking head. Yeah, so he specifically mentions the fly, the thing, basket case return of the living dead and more i don't see the fly or basket case at all return living dead do you see that because zombies like i mean funny zombies i don't know sure yeah i don't know i just think it's funny like
Those are all fantastic movies you picked. I don't see that. I mean, the fly just went in lumps and bumps, I suppose, but like not totally, definitely not the same. Not even the same. I mean, if I was going to think maybe Grant Grant was fucking because he's mutated but not really at that first stage the beasting stage you get a little brundle brundle grant in there like there's like a there's a weird little
Lump of skin and a couple little hairs sticking out. Yeah, that's a bad look. When he has the fucking squid arm. I love that when he runs out and the fucking squid arm like smacks the door and shit. Yeah, that's fucking dope. All that shit, the fucking, like the, when they show him.
all fucking crazy in the field coming to the cow. That is wonderful. I love seeing his weird ass going through the fucking tall grass. The crazy part is that there was a bunch of puppeteers they fucking digitally erased.
I wonder it looks so fucking good. But, like, I'm almost more impressed by the fact that you were not able to tell that there was a bunch of fucking dudes running that thing. Right. You know? Like, that's a pretty legit, like... for that time i feel like you could i don't know i could definitely tell a lot of was fake in there but i wonder i wonder why he uh grant grant's the only one to get infected by the
Meteorite thing. Is that little egg thing that got him just a one and done? Well, no, they were saying that's the thing that goes from planet to planet. A little, the spike. Yeah, because remember she said his face looks like a needle. Oh, right. And he goes from planet to planet devouring everything and then fucking pieces. when he's all done.
gets back in okay so it is just a one i think it's just that one thing that shot out was right which is funny to think about he's riding around this fucking little blobbing yeah you know like okay okay i guess i missed that part but that's his fucking barbie yeah I do like that cutscene, though, when they're showing all that shit when he's taking over. Yeah, that's unexpected when you see all the fucking alien shit, and you're like, what?
because it's all cg and you're like jesus christ this probably cost a ton of money back then and a ton of time hey you do it real quick i don't really remember what i saw i think it was monsters in pain there was a bunch of like really cool weird monsters that were not the bad guys that were on alien rats getting hard up yeah yeah because i was like oh that is that supposed to be them and i'm like oh no that thing's getting fucking eaten
Yeah, that was unexpected to actually visit a fucking other planet in this world. And he's like, I'm a billion years old. Like, holy fuck, dude, that's gnarly to think about this fucking thing just traveling through the universe. Right. And now he's here. Eater of worlds. Made of a fucking dart.
that's really how tiny he is huh yeah well i love this takes over bodies he somehow because like grant dies but he like somehow assimilates the personality where he's in love with this girl and he's putting up all those
for the collages all over the house dude when they show his little tentacle turn on the fucking jam this little gross ass thing yeah that air supply jam is so funny that's a james gunn thing he plays easy rock from the fucking 70s and the early 80s and that's i mean that's what he does
and they're like but it's funny because it's sometimes happening at weird moments where there's people getting dragged on the street oh yeah there's this fucking nice easy listening my mom loved air supplies everyone in the world to me was a huge song around the house so i hear that with people being dragged across the fucking field killed well they're saying that there's also like there's like the twofer because obviously it's their song yeah but also it means like Everyone's connected.
You're every woman. Oh, yeah, right, right, right. I gotcha. Very clever. A little twofer, I like that. Very clever. Yeah, James Gunn wears his fucking influences on his sleeve. And he's got some decorated ass sleeves. I mean, I think as he gets more money and obviously different things like
It's not as apparent. I'm sure they're snuck in there more, you know, but it's not as apparent for movies. He's making them big blockbusters now and shit. You guys might know about that, at least from the comic aspect, in Guardians of the Galaxy, is Homie always playing 70 years of rock? Is that, like, a big part of the story? I think because when he left Earth, he had music. I'm not sure in the comics, but it would make sense if that was, you know. But I feel like...
All those Marvel things, I feel like were all written in the fucking 60s and 70s and shit. Those characters were made definitely before Walkmans, I think. I can't say that with any certainty whatsoever. Sure, but just assume. I'm just assuming, yeah. Either way, to inject that part into that movie, because that soundtrack still flies off the shelf at the record store. Oh, no doubt. It just goes, and I'm like, Dude, I bought this fucking similar collection of music.
Off the fucking internet on CDs, it was called Easy Rock, and it was fucking the best. Right. For now, that's what I call 70s. Yeah, exactly. AM gold. Yeah. But to sell that music to teenagers, for the last almost like eight years. How weird is that? That's so weird.
And awesome. It's funny, because I feel like Rob Zombie tried to do that. Oh, yeah. Rob Zombie tried to do the fucking Quentin Tarantino, make some jams, super fucking cool thing, and stunt casting, but I feel like he's failed almost every fucking time with it. Good job. I'm a deep cut.
zombie free bird it's all wait side a free bird side b free bird what the fuck rip off dude but then he put terry reed up in that shit too that that dude's sick he's pretty i mean not as well known there's other good stuff in there but i just feel like yeah free bird's an obvious choice but in like it's like what was it 30 31 like where he it was like weird it was like FAKE FREEBIRD
Like, he didn't do Freebird again, because he couldn't, because he knew he couldn't, but he wanted to. I want to do the scene again that I've already done, which is pretty much his entire movie is me doing a thing I've already done before. like i imagine him his hand trembling as he's like pushing play like i gotta do it i gotta fucking do it but if i do it it's gonna be 10 million dollars skinner's not having it a second time did you know who did who
Never mind. Doesn't matter. I gotta answer. You do. Who produced Devil's Reject? Who produced it? Yeah, because I know that, like, well, like, what studio? Because I know Universal did House, but... Dimension, I think. Oh, okay. Am I wrong? I think you're right.
There's some money there for Freebird. Got some of that Freebird money. I don't know for sure. Is it Dimension? I want to see if I'm right. I'll tell you what. It turns out that with major movies that do as well as Guardians of the Galaxy, Money is unlimited. Forever. Forevermore money is no object.
It's crazy. Once again. Yeah. Elon Musk is in space cooking a shark. And they're making the 50th Marvel movie this month. Yeah. And they're working on a new Guardians one, so there you go. Hopefully they cook a shark in it.
I hope so. That's the best way to put a shark. I don't know what the studio put this up. Space Red Shark. It doesn't even taste the best way, but it's just the coolest way to put a shark. Yeah, I mean, again, it's like, you know, rich people aren't like, oh, no one has this. No one's... There's only three people on the planet who've eaten this. Yeah. Space fried shark meat? Yeah. It's a rare air. It's a delicacy. All right.
Did you guys see fucking Jeff Bezos' fucking dick rocket? I'm sorry, I'm sorry what? I'm sorry, huh? You know, his fucking cock rocket. He's showing himself into space in a dick. Oh, the actual rocket looks like a wiener? Almost like whoever built it was like... Yeah. The dude looks like a dick inside it, and it looks like a dick. Jules sent me a picture the other day of the first pictures of Jeff Bezos in space. It was just fucking Dr. Evil. With a space helmet on.
Something like the third one. That's amazing. Oh, Lionsgate. Lionsgate. That's it. Huh. Well, there's another. Lionsgate. It's not unlimited. There's some free bird money. Look at this fucking cock rocket. That's a dick. It is a dick rocket. I'm sorry. We've been watching other people shoot rockets into fucking space since I was born. None of them look like a fucking cock. Or more like a cock than that one. The smoke looks like a whiff of white pubes.
It's so fucking funny. Fucking boy-yo-yoing is the noise I made when it shot into space. I hope Homeboy fucking burns himself up on re-entering space fights like Bezos as he tries to cook a shark and then I'm cooking his own stupid face. He looks like something that fell off my dick during the I like that. That is the reason why I'm here. A comedy like that. Even that does feel like it's the least funny outtake from Anchorman.
oh yeah oh sure sure totally that's low hanging fruit yeah there's way smarter things said yeah you know funny smart shit said in the movie but like fucking what does it say maybe if you had a giney you'd write the lesbian check What's a giant? It means something from China. i'm a fan i suggest Okay, in a lineup, Night of the Creeps, The Blob, or this. Which one are you picking? Fuck. I'm going to go... Oh, man.
We haven't done The Blob yet, have we? The remake? Have we not? The remake. It's one of my favorites. It's one of my favorites, too. Jeff and I saw the theater. We've talked about it. We've touched on it a bunch, but there's been some I've wanted to talk about it that I haven't.
Have we not done it? I feel like we've actually done it. Have we? You know, it was back in the day when we did a fucking eight movies episode like dummies. I think we've done it, yeah. Economically irresponsible. Those old episodes. Hey Siri, did Forever Midnight ever do an episode on The Blob? Oh weird. Hey Siri, open your fucking ears. Did Forever Midnight ever do an episode on The Blob?
Fucking fool me on there. You trying to clown me, bitch? You think you're better than me? You can ignore me? I pay your fucking bills. All of your bills. I don't think we've ever done it you guys. I know Jeff and I saw it in the theater and we talked a bit about it, but I don't think we have really gotten... So, if I find it, are you going to suck on my wiener if I redid it? Or what's the bat? What's the bat? But I will flick your...
You flick my nipples. I feel like it's one of the earliest episodes. I feel like I remember putting the poster up for it. This is really great entertainment for folks at home. Another chop! But to answer your question, I would pick my own opinion. I would go Night of the Creep. slither the blob i might put this i might put slither last in the line because of just the era you know cgi i prefer i mean the blob is so gross and natural and like practically gross yeah and i love a kevin dylan
See, I think that's why that's what knocks him down. That's the third spot for me. Dude, I thought I saw Kevin Dillon and Slither. I tried to look him up, see if he was in it. I thought he was, like, one of the zombies I got fucking... shot at when they were going into the house for the society shit. I swear to god, there's a fucking Kevin Dillon lookalike.
Dude, that's so sick if they fucking actually put him in here for a cameo, but I couldn't find him. He's just part of the fucking grant monster. He's just, it was some other uggo. It was some other fucking uggo instead. That would have been so fresh if they had Kevin Dillon roll up at night. He definitely knocks it to the third spot for me, because I cannot stand him. What about with that mullet, though? What about that mullet, bro? But, yeah, if we haven't done that, then we need to...
I'm going to crack that situation. I've got my list of movies going for shit I'm going to pick. I don't want to show you because I don't want to spoil it. But I'm going to spoil one of them now. It's a James Gunn joint which one the belco experiment uh movie i've never seen that's a james gun one yeah you wrote it at least i don't know which i think michael worker's also in yeah i believe he probably is oh and uh
You know, I'm fucking... Oh, this fucking guy. I believe he's the lead in Belcox's experiment. That guy's a piece of shit, but I like him. He's great. He's a great actor. I know on the trailer for it, I was like, I gotta see this movie, and I never did, but I have a DVD. i need to watch office space again do you guys know that james gunn wrote 13 ghosts and dawn of the dead that remake yeah i don't know that but And all the weird fucking Scooby-Doo shit he's been doing?
He's done all the scoops. All the fucking scoops. Should we watch the scoops? I watch the scoops. I watch the scoops because of James Gunn. Oh, really? Yeah, not with my kid. I mean, maybe I should say it with my kid on the air. Would it be a lie? It is a lie. Yeah. I don't know. I grew up... I fucking loved Scooby-Doo. So, like...
The idea of that still kind of gets me a little bit, but they're piles of shit. At the same time, they're not badly done. It's live-action Scooby-Doo. Is there a Matthew Lillard Like, so it was written by James Gunn, directed by Greg McLean, Belkoxperiment. Okay. So I'm not sure what else that homie's done, but not a whole lot of good shit, though. Looks like a lot of garb. So James Gunn? No, the other guy. Yeah, definitely James Gunn. Hey, fuck your mouth.
Scooby, don't. I'm a fan. Even outside of horror, if I, like, Scooby-Doo or whatever, if I see his name on it, I'm fucking at least checking it out. You know, there's gonna be some, like, unconventional dialogue at least is going to break form and try to do something different yeah and be funny in a smarter way than just and by different I mean different than everything else
of its time he's gonna pick something very familiar from something else sure that you might like right because i believe he's probably our age he's got to be right because he's pulling these fucking air air supply out of his ass he's at least my age I can't be the guy that liked our supply. He's the guy's son of an AirSupply fan. Exactly. Just like all of us. Yeah. That's a good movie, though. I'm back. It's enjoyable. I'm glad I got to see it again. It's gross.
yeah very gross very lumpy yeah i love i love all the slime all the mutant shit is so great shooting all this goo shooting everywhere i forgot about that that's the one thing that's why i've seen it a bunch of times when i watched it again pulls up the fucking floor mat tonight that's sick dude
But it looks fucking nasty. And she's like, it burns! And she's already lumpy. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's like... fucking spit that burns and lumps you like that's a fucking that's something like that's the fly a little bit yeah okay yeah i can see that now she gets real lumpy and starts growing and yeah that's bad mutagen I'm surprised there hasn't been a sequel, to be honest. You can keep it going. She got Prager's.
It's a half-human, half-alien, though. Whatever. Get the whole cast back. That'll make it the fly. Make it the fly, too. It should burst some weird fucking... Oh, I forgot to bring the Rick Baker book back. Oh my god, that book is so good. I didn't keep reading past the past Gremlins 2. You didn't get back into all the Men in Black shit or anything. I mean, I looked at every page. Yeah.
You're not reading. What fucking book you got? Did we talk about it? No, and we haven't mentioned this, especially our wonderful patrons, but... the fucking those keep a house up oh my god the metamorphosis Rick Baker volume 1 and 2 volume 1 and 2 is insanity the effort that got put in it it is like it is I mean, the perfect way to do an autobiography of Rick Baker or an autobiography because it's mostly pictures.
yeah which he's taken most of them yeah that you've never seen before like it's a treasure trove yeah I didn't even know that you did amazing photographs he's an amazing painter it's all sketches in there and there and everything and then like the famous monster at the end like yeah like
at the end of famous monsters not the end of him he's around yeah yeah but that it's incredible he's been doing shit too where he because he can do like you know on himself just painted makeup like not even doing prosthetics and he's doing shit where he's painting himself to look like basil gogo's painting Oh, right. And it's insane. And I'm tripping out. I'm like, you're doing that on yourself.
I mean, that's how he learned how to do it. I mean, like, when a kid, like, you just do it on yourself, right? The fucking skill. I mean, I mean, gee. Yeah, he's next level. He's Rick Baker. He's Rick fucking Baker. Yeah, he's Rick fucking. Yeah, he's number one, right? That's all I guess you're going to put. Dick Smith, Stan Winston, Tom Savini, and then...
the thousands of people that work with them and make this shit actually happen. Well, that was funny. I was going to mention all the Texas Chainsaw 2 episode, is it? Like, it's funny because everyone is like, Tom Savini, Texas Chainsaw 2. But even he just talks about the crew that did all the work. And I've heard that a lot from people who work in effects, too. Like, people give Tom Savini a lot of credit.
But then, like, the people who are in there know, like, he has a lot of people that do that shit for him. There's other people that make all the shit and that are the real heroes. Because I thought, like, oh, he sculpted this, and then he's sitting there in a documentary talking about, like, oh, yeah, this guy, you know, he's really good, he sculpted it. And like, not to discredit him too much, of course he's actually physically done plenty of amazing shit.
He wouldn't be Tom Savini without having actually done shit. I just believe in also giving people their due. I feel like that kind of happens. I'm blessed for that thing you said, giving credit to due. I was really surprised because we've had our run-ins with Tom Savini. and it was nice he was actually fully giving all these dudes in his crew hell of props and i was like well that's that's surprising i mean i think
You can't take all the credit for something when it's now a huge workshop. Yeah, and I feel like He's a kind of dude that would, maybe, but he didn't, luckily. I expected him to. I think maybe he did it in his head, but out loud, he had to credit his friends. It's an unreal book, especially that time. the thriller stuff is unbelievable i mean it was like a hundred bucks for this i mean literal like
Stack three phone books up and that's how thick they are. Yeah. They're so heavy. Like putting them together in the slip sleeve and then in the box. Yeah. So heavy. Yeah. I put it up on a shelf to get it away from. so I can kind of... Don't put it up too high. I'm not going to put it on the ground. I know, but when I got it down, I was like, Jesus! Yeah, I'm pulling it down. You're like, pin down, fucking share as I come to help you.
The best. He seems like a sweet guy. I don't know. We've never met him, so we can't talk any shit about him. I was stalking him at one of the Monsterpaloozas. I was in the museum, got closed off because they hadn't opened up the thing publicly yet. but i was already in there and it was just him walking around looking shit and i was like seriously like hiding behind busts of like fucking shit like looking at him he walks past you to do like that et thing where you're a bust
He didn't believe it. He's like, who sculpted this? Look at this, Argo. We're moving this guy in. This is some good work. Yeah, really. Look at this dick. Look at that fudgy beard on him. Who punched all these hairs in? This must have taken years and years. Yeah, I was like, but...
It was rad because it looked like he was enjoying other people's work. It wasn't like there was anybody there. He wasn't doing a show or anything. Dude doesn't have competition, so you can be kind. I like that he's still doing...
shit just for, like, social media, where he'll just do some shit on his stuff he does for his family just for Halloween, and I'm like, what the fuck? And he got into, like, animation, and he got into, like, uh, like, stop motion, and he's getting into, like, all kind of wild shit, and it's all The best you've ever seen it. Of course. He's a top-notch artist in everything he tries. Hell yeah. You patrons, if you haven't gotten this book or seen it, it's worth getting.
yeah if you're a big special effects fan or a rick baker fan or any fan of anything he's ever done like yeah it's it's it's very special fucking endless in there yeah the book is infinite almost like it's so much to see like how did he do all that and still be alive you know what i mean like he's not done you know what i mean like
I feel like that's, like, something that would have come out if somebody, like, had to have this lifelong career, and they're dead, and, like, okay, we're gonna look through all this shit, but, like, there's gonna be a third volume of that. Well, I mean, there has been a lifelong career. I mean, like, you've been doing it for... 40-plus years. And I love that they show him like the shit from when he first is like as a kid doing shit, you know. And he's a janky. Yeah. Yeah.
Gotta start somewhere. Yeah. It's amazing, though. He is a monkey addict. I know. He's really obsessed with getting the monkey thing just right. I bet he and his circus are fucking like this. I don't know. You think they butt heads? Because he was the original. That he was the actual Kong in the 76 Kong and didn't get any fucking credit for it. Wasn't he also in that fucking weird monkey movie that fucking Landis made? Yeah. Not long ago.
That first one. He was in Schlock, yeah. Schlock. He played, he made the creature and was the creature. But yeah, he's talking about ton of other like gorilla movies like specifically gorillas him trying to get the gorilla just right he did uh gorillas in the mist with sigourney weaver yeah he said conga he did
He probably did. He did Greystoke Legend of Tarzan, and he did that with a bunch of other actors. Did he do Big Joe Young also? Oh, Mighty Joe Young. Mighty Joe Young. Yes, definitely. Did you say playing the apes? I'm sorry. I did the Tim Burton playing the apes. think while you're talking. Wait, Tim Burton, did he play The Apes? You didn't know that? No.
Yeah, the Tim Roth one. What? I haven't watched any of those. The apes are fucking incredible, but I mean... Helena Bonham Carter, of course. It's kind of a movie. Johnny Depp? I don't know if it was. Remember I showed you guys that weird... the weird mutants from the old planet second planet movie yeah i saw it was so weird we just talked about that and i saw bat and spider
did a fucking episode on that that one not the first one but the one with the fucking weird whitey ogos the beneath the planet yeah and i was like oh fuck man that's sick and again i don't think we'd actually talk about it on the air or anything like that that just was like a total clinking but
I want to watch that one just because I'm curious about those fucking weird weirdos. Yeah, for sure. So, and then that timbered one's worth a watch you don't expect much but like you're gonna see some pretty cool special effects yeah cool and even rick baker went into doing cgi stuff later and he was like drawing for it and painting it and planning i mean you can't fight it right might as well fucking adapt
Well, even with Slytherin, those guys were talking about really marrying the two like they're talking to the effects guy and they're talking to the digital effects guy and how like If they work together, then it saves them both time and money. And that seems to be what really works now. I think everyone's coming to that.
realization that you start with something real, and you can just tweak that thing. I watched the movie, because I was just thinking you don't end up with a fucking $10 million Superman mustache jittering around. I'll tell you, I watched the movie that he made with a mustache.
It's the Mission Impossible movie. And he cocks his fucking arms as one of my favorite scenes in the movie cocks his arm dude have you seen that scene no he's getting in a fight and he's like he has like a nice suit on or whatever and he fucking like cocks his arms before he punches this dude out it's the sickest fucking movie i've ever seen
I would never expect it. It's just such a weird choice, but it's so fucking tight. I'll pull it up. That's awesome. It's badass. I think he looks great with a mustache. He's a handsome motherfucker. Did you put the mustache cut up on Instagram? the mustache pack Because it was a painter little stash. It wasn't a big old thick cookie. No, I...
Didn't you guys send me that or someone else sent me that? I think, I don't know, I sent one. I think someone else sent another one. I think we had some listeners also sending shit. Someone sent, I don't know how it came to me, but one of you guys sent me the fucking picture of Superman with a mustache. Yeah, we had someone on Twitter send us one too. I fucking love it. It's great. That it exists out there. That that's a thing. Superman with a mustache, which I'm there for.
That should have been the way it happened always. We need to digitally put him back on it. I want to go back to get Batman a mustache. I want to go back to, what's his nuggets? Wheelchair boy. Wheelchair boy. Wheelchair man. He's a full grown man. Christopher. Robin Grace. Yeah. Like, I want a mustache on him? Yeah, exactly. What's the dude that shot himself back in the fucking black and white days?
That dude needs a mustache. You still be alive if you had a mustache? Mustache of steel. Dude, we've never touched on his Christopher Reeves doing Rear Window. We should fucking watch it. I thought you had to touch it up. I brought it up, but we should fucking watch it. That's going to be a chore. That is going to be a chore. I'll do it as a Patreon pick if anybody wants to pay 50 bucks to fucking slap that one up. I mean, it's more of a thriller, but...
But it's, you know, horror-adjacent, I guess. That's Hitchcock, you know? Yeah. You can go there. I do not want to see Rear Window. I think I saw it when it came out. It's not great. It's TV, wasn't it? Yeah, I was made for TV. It's not great. But it's a cool concept. I mean, it's cool because it's real. That part of it's real. His part of it is real. But also, I... I...
I knew that movie came out, and I just felt like I couldn't watch it because I was such a fan of Christopher Reeve's Superman. That's the reason to watch it, because you're a fan of it. You can't see him like that. I can't see him. That hurts too much. That hurts big time. What if he has a big mustache? That's the ultimate irony, right? Homie was the man of steel. The most powerful and strong man in the world. And now he's in the chair of steel. Or he was in the chair of steel.
Oh, no, never mind. I don't even want to bring it up. It's sad. There's some sad stuff I was going to bring up about. Let's not even bring everything down. I need to bring some tears. He was the perfect Superman. He was. 100%. I mean, I was at the Superman Comics fan when I was alive to see Superman in the theater when it came out first. And I was like, I am in love.
This is Superman. I love his Clark Kent. I love everything. That's the thing, because this new Superman can't do that Clark Kent. I'm sorry. He looks like a fucking porn star. He's so hot. And not goofy and weird and awkward, you know? He can't do that. for some reason christopher reens totally could do that and play the the goofiness of clark was like yeah there's no way this has got that like
That's more believable that this guy's in Superman. Because he throws you off by being so klutzy and, like, bumbling and shit. Yeah. And the new Superman is like, yeah, he's just too fucking hot. There's no way. He's just a normal guy. Yeah. okay i take glasses off now i'm superman it's that whole yeah yeah at least
Clark Kent was trying to be a character, and his, like, critique on... Right. Was Quinton his critique on human beings, like, being kind of goofy and fumbling. Totally. And Richard Donner is his actual, like... writing, writing Clarkon to be so bumbling and so lame, so nerdy and can't shut up. He's always talking even when he's like, and Superman is so smooth. Smooth, baby. glides in and doesn't say a word. Yeah.
He sure does. He glides right back in. Take him back out again. R.I.P. Richard Donner also. Yeah, for real. That's a bummer. Now to bring it back down again. Jesus Christ! Let's talk more about him going in fast. He went out fast. He went so fast the world spun around. Comeback time. I did it again. Yeah, he's just rewinding time for his own fucking benefit. Yeah. Yeah. How many times do you want to come? Fast as fuck.
Again, ended on a gross note. Yeah, that's perfect, Trevor Midnight style. Found a way to make it so that Clark can't turn back time so we can bust one again. In rapid form. How did I get that Clark can't slither? Well, did James Gunn ever write a Superman movie? No. That's why none of them were any good. They wanted him to, but then he did the weird ones. Imagine how... Whatever, they're fine, but I don't love them. Imagine how much better there would be if James Gunn had done Superman.
That'd be fucking sick, but I want to see all these weirdo characters. He would have a mustache. For sure. A big old. Yeah, like a fucking... Yeah, like a fucking... Yeah, like a fucking... I'm a fucking... pizza artist one. Dastardly fucking... Yeah. Definitely. Yep. Pizza artist. That would be so strong! It would fucking bounce bullets off and just be...
