Summary

This episode covers a range of experiences from a Modest Mouse-themed cruise, including unexpected COVID, to attending a stellar Ghost concert. The main discussion centers on the cult classic "Nekromantik," a German film notorious for its explicit necrophilia and animal cruelty. The hosts analyze the movie's low-budget shock tactics, its role in defining extreme horror, and delve into its controversial themes, personal viewing experiences, and the societal taboos it challenges.

Episode description

In this episode the FM3 tackle one of the most infamous horror films ever, Jörg Buttgereit's NEKROMANTIK! The lore behind this 1987 gorefest is the stuff of legend. Trying to track down an actual copy back in the 90's was a fruitless quest for so many curious gross-out nerds. Banned in many countries even to this day, you could say that watching NEKROMANTIK is much like receiving a medal for bravery. It is not for the faint of heart and has many trigger warnings such as real animal murder, fake animal murder, suicide, and as you can imagine everything you might do to a corpse if you were a ghoul. So folks that have not feasted their eyes on this gag inducing film may want to go in cautiously and Jef, Josh and Brian suggest eating before you hit play. Godspeed and don't forget your barf bag! (Movie talk starts at 22:50 if you don't wanna hear the guys catching up)

The Modest Mouse Cruise Adventure

Let's talk about the Bruce Cruise. Oh my god, I went on a cruise. I'd never been on a cruise. Bruce cruise ever. First cruise babies first cruise. So I don't know what a regular cruise is like. What are the bands like on a regular cruise? Josh, there's there's hardly bands on regular cruise. What is the entertainment like? It's like bingos and fucking yeah, there's there's yeah, there's like dancing and some bullshit.

If you're lucky to get a band, it's like a fucking like a cover band, right? Yeah, it's like a cover band or some kind of bullshit. Yeah. Something that just background bullshit or like a DJ. Right. Is outside usually if it's if you're on like if you're more tropical cruise. Playing something my mom wants to dance.

So I'm w that's what I was worried about. That's why I've been talking about going on a cruise for years and haven't pulled the trigger because I'm like, well, I think I would dread it. I think I'd get on the cruise ship and I'd be like, I'm trapped, I hate this, but I want to do the Alaska cruise.

Have still haven't done that. I was I want to do a Caribbean cruise. I've never been to the Caribbean. But this cruise came up and it we bought tickets at the last minute and it's Modest Mouses Cruise. So they were throwing a cruise and I l I like Modest Mouse. I bought the C Ds in the nineties. I liked them. Totally. I never loved them. I was always like this band is for Modest Mouse. I wish there was a cruise. You weren't ever like

I like modest it would be great being trapped with them on a boat. Here's the thing though. I like Modest Mouse much more now than I did two weeks ago.'Cause I got to spend time with modest mouse. Yeah. And they curated this cruise.

Which had Blackheart Procession were on the cruise. Oh shit. Built to spill. Sick. Mannequin Pussy. Kurt Vile. And this band I fully love called Tropical Fuckstorm. Oh yeah, you've got to be a good one. We're from Australia. I talk about them all the time. I love them. So all these bands play three times a day. Also David Cross is on the cruise doing stand up shows and hosting bingo. There is bingo. They're not gonna give up. And then it's like if you're a m I mean everyone on the cruise

Not everyone. I'd say 90% of the people on the cruise are the biggest modest mouse fans on planet Earth. Sure. Of course they are. Yeah. From all over the world. Yeah. They wanted a cruise in the 90s. Yes. They were like, when is the boss mouse crew? Exactly. In when the first album was like, if only I could be trapped with Isaac Brock on a fucking boat for four days. Yeah. Yeah. Then they did all kinds of weird shit, like they had Isaac Brock.

Do like they called it fucking modest science theater two thousand and they had like they watched Devil's Advocate with Isaac talking about the movie the whole time. Weird what a weird movie to pick. It was weird.

And it's a l it's a long movie too. That's not that's not a short And it's not like forever. That's not a fun movie. No, it's it was a nightmare. But I I I I watched the first little while and I I I had some chuckles and then I went and did something else. I watched a band for a while and it came back. at the end of the movie and I was like, this movie's still fucking going Definitely. But it was uh it was a blast.

It was a blast. That's awesome. I mean I went to the Dominican Republic, left Miami. Cool. Went to the Dominican Republic, got COVID, got back on the boat. Who knows? I bought some COVID. Yeah. Um we went to yeah I who knows where I got it. It was either the plane or it was Miami or it was the boat or it was Miami or It's probably the boat. Probably the boat. Probably everyone gets COVID on the boat now. Yeah.

All the people I know that cruise are people, they're always like, Oh yeah, you're gonna get the flu. But now it's like no you're gonna get COVID. You're gonna get COVID. Yeah. For sure. If you're if you're lucky, you're gonna get COVID. Right. If you're unlucky, you're gonna have poop crews or whatever. Oh poop crews. Yeah, yeah. You're gonna have triangle of sadness. I think I'd rather have COVID crews. Oh yeah. Yeah, you would.

The room was great. I had a great time. I I love a cruise. Cruises are pretty tight. You're in uh see we we've been talking about going on one like we we I like if we can afford it at some point this year we're trying to like figure it out.'Cause they're not that expensive now. Cause also because you get covet on a cruise. They're cheap to go on. They're not too shabby. It wasn't so bad.

Bizarre Cruise Themes and Interactions

All kinds of really cool theme ones out too. They got fucking like vegan cruises and fucking Oh yeah. You know, I think there's probably a horror cruise, but like I'm trying to find that cruise that has no kids on it. That's the one on the bigger one. This is mostly uh cruise.

Yeah, that's here. They start knocking on random doors. What about this? You guys party? Walked your doors out. The crews that was they were when we were they were churning over the boat while we were getting off the boat, they were getting ready for the eleven day. sixty five plus nudist cruise. What? Yeah, exactly. Like what's the dining car like? Like I'm about to give me a fake ID. I'm sixty-five. Everything's outside. Oh welcome to Skid City. Welcome to the Catheter Cruise.

Fuck me. Welcome to uh fucking thirty-five degree angle. Dude, fucking the wrinkle crinkle cruise. Yep. Every yeah welcome to Folds R Us Dude I'd be so fun to like go on that though because like it would just be like whoa like it'd be crazy because like sometimes when you're traveling on those things like uh you know between ports

the wind kicks up like crazy on those boats and so I'm just imagine walking out on the deck and just dangus is just like everyone wind sock is fluttering to the right. You gotta knock people out.

Yeah, it was pretty windy on that boat. But also like, how would you I'd be so tempted to be like I'm just leaning over the rail, just looking over the side and just taking a piss. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'd be so tempted. There's but it's not like it's just solid, Jeff just peeing on the dick. Yeah. Who cares? When we'll get it. Yeah, they got freaky cruises. You know what's also great? No phone.

For four days. I could have paid for a Wi Fi, fifty bucks a day or whatever. Oh, but you like actively are like yeah, no. So they had Wi Fi that I could look at the schedule of the bands and that was it. So I didn't do that at home almost. Yeah, I'm kinda almost there anyway. But Sarah is not and I and I'm not quite, but I I was there. That's cool, yeah. It was really cool. Yeah.

Um envy that. It was fun. Yeah. It was good. I want to go on some weird freaky cruise. That'd be fun. Oh, but when I was the thing I would would see is that o every time I went on the schedule I had to choose whether I w wanted Nate Bargatszi's cruise or my cruise, which were happening at the same time through the same company. Nate Ragaski is this very mainstream comedian sort of guy.

And then there was like there was a fucking train cruise coming right up. They have all kinds of stuff. The band train the van train. Jesus Christ. What a what a fucking n that's a nightmare cruise. Yeah. See that would be that's the thing. If you accidentally ended up on the train cruise, you'd be fucking bummed. I mean I imagine I I know there are people there that weren't into modest mouse.

Which means they probably weren't into mannequin pussy or tropical fuckstorm. Right. To begin with. Yeah. And if you're into Build the Spill, you're into Mada's mouth. So they're they're not there for that either. It was easy. And Doug brought his mom. So his mom was like on the ch on the tour. Yeah. She was she was like in a wheelchair, just kicking it with him.

And fucking David Cross is married to Amber Tamblin. They have a kid and the they were all on the cruise together and running around everywhere you live. It was great. That was wild. It was fun. But they had all kinds of wild cruises. I imagine that

Well, I I watched it happen. I I watched all these bands play and everyone I talked to, even c and David's stave thing from the stage was like, I've never been on a cruise before. Really? I've never never done a cruise, but never even been on a cruise. And most peop the bands had never done it. This is everyone's first time on a cruise ship. So and I think a lot of the fans were the same way. So it was like Did you get to like interact with any of those people? Oh yeah.

Yeah, talk to the tropical fuckstorm girl. Because they're just like completely separate. They have to eat the same cart that you do. Yeah. I mean, I think Isaac had room service every day, no problem. No, he wasn't wandering around really. But it seemed like like uh ke uh chemical romance and like They have a cruise and like they're pretty out there, like

Uh I mean most of those like like bigger nineties bands, you know, or even other ones, but they all have a cruise. Did did it seem like people were bothering them a lot or were everyone being pr chill about it? Uh another band that was on the cruise is Portugal the Man, who I don't know well but Sarah toured with him before. And

We watched him play a couple times and the guy, uh Johnny the singer was like, Hey, come say hi. No one said hi to us this whole time. It's been like three days. I bet a lot of people are afraid to do that. I bet that's a thing too where you're just like, I don't wanna you know, and then they were just like expecting it and then people don't really show up. Like that'd be weird.

We had a weird one too. We were watching Black Heart Procession play in like the bar. And like the and they were playing'cause they everyone plays one night in a different place. Like of course Modest Mouse played the big stage every time, but all the other smaller bands played the different ones. Same set? And you said they played multiple times. Built to spill played pretty much the same set. Um Black Art uh all the smaller bands played pretty much the same set.

Modest Mouse played completely different sets three times and the all sets were an hour and a half. Oh so they did so Modest Mouse did you put in the work. Sometimes it was. Yeah. Yeah. I mean I didn't care for Tropical Fuck Fuck Storm and D David Cross was hammered right up front screaming for this band. The band is one of the best bands I've seen in a long time. They're great. They're a great, great band. But uh there was yeah, it was weird to see

see everyone you yeah, you talked to everyone. Oh, we also one thing, we're watching Blackheart from the bar and we're like, wouldn't it be crazy if there was like we were obsessed with like some of these bands and right as we said that Jamie Stillman from Party of Helicopters walked by, we're like, What the fuck? Oh, that's right. Earthquaker devices are on this tour. That's his company. I'm a I've traveled all over the world to see that guy.

Haven't haven't you d I thought you toured at some point with Party of Helicopters, no? No, I first time I saw them was on tour. Okay. Okay. And I I played with them a lot and we became friends and stuff. But still when they when party of helicopters reunite.

Sarah and I would fly to Cleveland or Akron wherever they're at and did he know you were on that cruise? No. I didn't know he was I figured he would not be. That's really funny though. But he and his wife owned the company, so they were they were there. So yeah, we were punishing him a little bit for sure. That's right. But we we've s I've seen him in Japan, I've seen them all over the world. So yeah. They're fucking rad. They're great. He's great. His company's great.

Yeah, it was awesome. It was a like minded folks. It was cool. Did you talk to David Cross? Uh not really. No. He really, but kinda. And I said hi to him a couple times in the halls. That's so weird. I'd be so like it'd be so hard to not like want to fan out so much. That's hard. I met him once before in LA at the what was um at satellite but it used to be called Spaceland venue down there. I met him once. He was

in some strange white three piece suit and talk to him about Mr. Show a little bit. He's great. That's awesome. Yeah. He's a friendly guy. That's good. You would you you want you want people you like to be friendly. Yeah. It it's always sucks when they're when they're just not cool. Even if they have like a good enough reasoning, you know they're just out like eating food or whatever. It's still gotta be kinda nice. Everyone seemed really cool.

Upcoming Horror Events and Getaways

It was great. I had a fun time. I do it again in a few years. I would I would love to do like a horror cruise. I think that'd be really fucking fun. I would love to do that too. That seems like a lot of fun. Yeah. Dude. I was almost gonna be like, Do you guys wanna fucking do this? But I I don't know if you would want to. It might be weird, but like uh The there's that guy that like puts on all the those events where like like at the scream house

showing the movie and doing the whole thing. Like they're call that's called like onset whatever, like events. But it's like the Myers House guy that originally started doing things where like he has like the replica of the Myers House and he does all the stuff. But he started doing all these events but They um they are doing a fuck it dude, it's fucking sick, but it's like three days or I think it's three days.

But it's a howling event where they're d up at the fucking campsite the house and the c are the cabins and the campgrounds. That they filmed all that shit at the beach and all that shit. Mm-hmm. They're doing a three-day thing. It's not even expensive to get your own cabin. It's like you can get a two or a four-seater cabin. It's like a hundred bucks a person. For three days. Food's not included, but like everything else is. Yeah.

Yeah and like it'd be kind of fucking fun. Like to like it'd be like a summer camp thing, but we're there for the howling, you know, like That sounds like hell that sounds hella fun. I'm hella I'm I'm totally in. That sounds great. Dude, I think we should but like I was rub the reason I found out about that is because they're doing a which is really crazy, they're doing a Halloween three up in Lolita.

at like in the park next to the fucking factory. Really? Um but they're it's sold out. Shh they're holding tickets, a bunch of tickets for like local people'cause they're'cause like I think that like Lolita was being kinda weird to begin with. So they're basically like held a bunch of tickets

four locals that live in Humboldt County only and they'll only release the leftovers like in like September because it's like October first or second, I think they're they're doing this thing. Well. And it's a one night event. But it sounds fucking cool. Right there in the shadow of the factory. That's nuts. A fucking rules, man. I did that scream one and it was a blast. Yeah. So fun. So and that thing's this this is only like fifty bucks.

And I was like, that'd be fucking sick, but howling one for sure. When is that? It's it's in um when the fuck is it? It might be in September or August.

I mean if you guys are down fully down that sounds fun. I love going to the woods. I want to hang out and cabin with you with you dudes. That'd be great. Yeah. I'll send you guys a thing and we can see what we can do if we're gonna do it. That sounds great. That's awesome. It'd be really but I was just like I've always I've never gone to somewhere. Fuck outside in the moonlight though. We definitely are wolf tits included. Wolf tits are extra.

But I have, I'm paying, so But it sounds amazing. I'm like, dude, like'cause they what like one of the cabins was like the the the quist cabin that's in the movie and another one of the cabins is the other w from from the movie but Those are more expensive or like three hundred bucks or something like that. Which isn't that crazy if you think about it, but still like

Uh yeah, just regular cabs fine. But um that'd be fun to f just fuck around in the woods and watch it like howling. It's just up there in m Mendocino or whatever. So that sounds awesome. You know, hundred percent yeah. I thought we could probably even record there and shit. Hell yeah, but of course.

Do that. So I don't know. I'm sure they'll probably have some other like some people from the movie and all the you know, there's gonna be all kinds of shit going on. Oh my god. Events and stuff. Three days is gonna there's gonna be stuff happening. There's gotta be. So anyways, we'll talk more about that later. But I thought that was it sounded fun. Great, right? Super cool. But yeah, so, um...

You guys are good? You guys are both under the weather, now you're feeling bad. I was yeah, on my birthday, sick as a dog, sick for like a week after. It was fucking brutal. That that was absolutely miserable. What a bummer to you to be like sick on your fucking birthday. Spent a whole day in bed. Like I barely woke up

To do anything. Were you fucking puking or are you just like just not operational? Yeah, puking, headache, all all all that kind of shit. Just just fucked. No. Just really fucked. Damn. Sorry man. Yeah, for sure. It was easy. Uh but people were very nice online, like the next couple of days when I was kinda like coming to I was able to check. Yeah. Check the phone and people were very kind.

Like our listeners and friends and stuff, like they're always so sweet and everyone's supportive and sweet. Yeah, that's true. You guys made a really nice post on the Forever Midnight page, so I really appreciate that. So how can we not celebrate each other on our birthdays? They're the best. Didn't know you were sick, I felt like oh shit, it felt bad like Yeah, that fucking licks dude. It's not it's not the way to do it, guys. I don't recommend Did you try to celebrate a different day?

Ghost Concert: A Flawless Experience

Well, kind of like this past weekend w f felt more like a celebration and we actually Rochelle and I w went out and did stuff. We went and saw Ghost over the weekend. Oh sick. Oh nice. That was super fun. And we had like we had like a kind of a more a birthday dinner While we're out and about and so that was that was a good time. Yeah. In my mind of like The Patrick Swayze to Me More movie, huh? Where'd they play that? Fathom Events? What's going on? Oh, I get it. The band you love.

Yeah. I wanted to go to that, but I like I was wondering I was gonna hit you up and be like, Are you going to this or what? Where was it? Uh it was in Sacramento, Golden One. Oh I've I've been to the Golden One. Yeah, it's like a big

pricey and like we found like the cheaper ones but they it was a good good spot we found. Like right down the middle. So that's cool. Yeah. Yeah, because usually you're fucking up in the sky. Yeah, I know yeah, we were pretty we were pretty low. That's cool. Um Considering um And they have like a no phone policy, which actually was fucking awesome. That was very cool.

No opening band. Extra cool. Fuck it. See, they're doing it right. Yeah, they're they made all the right choices. I don't want the you know, like I'm paying that much money. I don't even care if you play a shorter set, just fucking play your set. I don't wanna fucking hear anybody else. Nope. Just do your thing and let me get out of here. I'm saying that as a musician too, where I know that's a great opportunity if uh as a being a b in a band to like open up for a big

Huge band like that, but I fucking love not having to sit through some horse shit. Yeah. It was great. And it's so much horse shit oftentimes. You don't you're like It's so much horse shit. Yeah. Especially the band, like there's a lot of bands I l I love, but I don't want to hear the

to them that are not as good. You know what I'm saying? Like the reason I love the band is'cause they're special. Right. And if you do something that's like in the genre that's not as good, I'm like, that's just bad. Yeah. Yeah, last time I saw a ghost they had some ban opening up it was like a bunch of Vikings or something on a big Viking ship. It fucking blew. Really? Hated it. I hated every second of it.

I don't want too much more of that kind of thing. Like I like ghosts, I like what they do, but I don't need that in another shitty form. Yeah, it's not like you go see KISS and you have those three other fucking makeup clad KISS you know, wannabe bands. You know, you don't want to see it. Doing it doing it, yeah, real bad. Real bad yeah, like No but that I mean and like ghosts at least when I've seen them, they play a pretty long set.

You know, they're not afraid to like play a bit longer. Like where I've seen people play and I'm like, That's it? You play eight songs? Like what the fuck like Yeah, like ghosts give you your money's worth for sure. And now there's so many records deep that they just have nothing but bangers in the set. Yeah, which is fucking killer. You're just like yeah, you can't get enough and you're like

But it's still they play for a minute, you know? Yeah. They're gonna they're you're gonna get it. I easily could have watched another hour though. Yeah. Oh sure. It was just so it was like one of the best shows I've ever seen. It was incredible. Absolutely incredible. Yeah, yeah.

I haven't seen him in a while. You've been seeing'em like it's funny'cause we kinda switch places. It's it's interesting'cause my wife became a huge fan of them. This is like the only band that we have like in common. Sure. And we're both like equally as big a fan, so like it's we're

It's yeah, it's just a great thing we get to just bond over. So like anytime they're around, yeah, we'll we'll go see them for sure. That's great.'Cause usually we don't really like each other's music. Sure. Yeah, yeah. So I can yeah, date night, dude. Yeah, it is. It's always kinda nice little thing for us to do together. That's fun. Yeah, good shit. Someday I'll see them again.

Yeah, what happened? When was the last time you saw him? Dude. You I'm jealous'cause you saw him in some some some great errors. I mean, I saw yeah, like my favorite was Papa Two era, which is fucking dope. But I saw him like or saw him, uh Papa Three maybe. So maybe like a while ago. The third record? Yeah. The third record? Uh Yeah. Is that the last time you saw him? I think so. Shit. They have a lot of records.

But they're on six, right? Six now, yeah? Five, six? Yeah. I think six. Six record. Yeah. Yeah, I I'm I'm wanna feel like I saw I saw Papa. Four but I don't think Josh, in case you don't know, the uninitiated look in the case. Same person different but Different character. Yeah, different character. Yeah. He's finally because he was in, you know, these crazy masks for so long, he's finally like in this mask that's barely covering his face now. And he's like

Can breathe and like And he can sing. He can sing a lot better next to it. He's not restricted by yeah how how wide he can open his mouth and the mass. So he's God, he sounded so fucking good. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. I read something you were just talking about how stoked he was to be like out of like that to breathe and yeah.

Not be claustrophobic in that fucking thing.'Cause I mean you think about those guys are touring and playing so many fucking shows. He's just un under latex for fucking, you know. Years crazy. It looks tight latex too. Like yeah. One of those records that mask was fucking skin tight, it looked like.

I was I mean the first when they first came out, I was I was convinced that like there was just prosthetics on his face. It wasn't like a whole mask, but it was like it was, but like, you know, so like That first time I saw him with Papa Two, I thought that he looked l like real enough that that was just what was happening. It was crazy. But like

Yeah. We le we learn, but it's awesome still. Yeah. Very cool. Yeah. But that we bored Josh that we lost. No, no, no. I'm I'm I'm here. I'm here. I'm interested. I would love to do it. I'm into it. I I I remember when they came out and I was like the record store sold so many ghost records.

Yeah. Since I haven't been to the record store, I don't know how many records they have, you know. I mean they they are just like our modern day kiss. Like it's like it is. It's it's tongue in cheek. It's it's it's all the way. It's fun and dark. Yeah. Yeah, that's a perfect blend of those those things. Just enough actual like serious musicianship and you know, spookiness, but also just enough fun in there to yeah to have a really good time.

And I mean I'm sorry but They can fucking ride a mean fucking Poppy. You guys have played a lot for me and I think they're those hooks are insane. Well it is like you know, every every album's got a bunch of like hit bangers and then they play'em all in a string on at a show and you're just like, Jesus fucking Christ. Like out of control. Yeah.

Introducing Necromantic: Legendary Shock Film

But anyways, we're done we're done talking. Yeah. Do did we actually did we see a movie this week? Yeah, we saw a movie. We yeah. I got to choose a movie this week. Brian, you went hard. You know, I was like, you know, it's been a minute since we we've squirmed in our seats and dreaded the movie we were gonna watch, so I figured M man, this is a crazy I like I've always we've had it around here, around the studio for a long time. Sure.

And it l it's f I'm fascinated by it. Seeing the cover, seeing the the font, then the title of it, like, God, that I do wanna see that. Yeah. You fucked me up, dude. You fucked me. You fucked me Wait, it's your first time. This is my first time ever seeing it. Your first time? No no you've seen it. No sir. Okay. Okay. I saw it as a teenager.

Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah, it was it was pretty hardcore when I saw it. And I couldn't I saw it on our website. So when it came out of the tape. I saw it in like ninety or ninety one. When I started driving. Yeah, not too soon after Ken. I thought damn. Probably ninety

Eight, ninety nine, something like that. Could've been later. Could've been ninety two, ninety three, but it was definitely early nineties and I had to drive to Berkeley to rent it and I rented a bootleg copy of it and wow. I used to go to the yeah. It's crazy. But that was when I was like, I need to get this movie. I I've been seeing Fangory has been telling me about this movie.

It ki it really kinda okay, so we're we're we watched Necromantic, finally. Yeah. Uh it's it's been on the table for a long time. Yeah, I've I've I've threatened to do it for many years. But like but it kinda has that lore that like Texas Chainsaw used to have Where like when you were young and you heard about this movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Like it has a name like that too, where you're just like necromanic, like

You what you know of that word, you're just like, what the fuck does it mean? Yeah. Yeah. Holy shit. Yeah, I mean there's so much to talk about with this movie. But like yeah, I mean it is It's rough. It's fucking rough. It's it's rough, but it's also like I like that it's

Sometimes you'll see a movie that's really, really rough. Like I remember Baskin was rough and then all of a sudden they'll do like the black metal fucking things and they're like, Okay, I know where you guys are coming from. This is like you guys are just into like punishing ass culture. Right. But this was like the music is so

romantic. And it's the grossest shit you've ever seen in a movie. It's so taboo what like it's crazy. And I would I would say that they almost created that genre of like the fucking the We're gonna we're gonna sh yeah the shock gross out. We're gonna we're gonna, you know, to do to like yeah give the people

the room to make the Serbian films and those like Exactly. What are those fucking ones? There's like a series of'em American guinea pig. Oh god. There's like a whole sea like series of these and they're just like full on fucking gore, torture, gnarly, fucking yeah, just like

Gross-Out Tactics and On-Screen Filth

Yeah, it really opens the door for all that. Right. This is made to be rebellious. Right. Fully just like we're gonna be fucking as gnarly as we can. Yeah. It was made to shock. It was made to show you. I dare you to fucking see it. I dare you to fucking put it out. Because this movie is less Yeah. What's scary about this movie is not There's nothing scary that happens. You're never scared throughout the movie, but you're scared

to watch it at all. Like in your real actual life. You're scared to watch it. You're scared to be caught watching it. You're scared to be caught watching it for sure. And it's a vibe. It is a it is a vibe that like It it is you know, it is a horror film, but it's not a scary horror film. It's a it's a horror film. It's like a splatter film. Yeah. It's it's it's gory, it's gross, it's and like the fact that it was made for pennies

I think lends itself to it also being something that is just like it feels raw, it feels visceral. Exactly. Even though a lot of the stuff you're just like, this is like All right, like it opens up in these these there's a car accident.

after this tick chicks like the fucking twenty minute piss and like I thought she was going in her underwear though I was like holy shit well you don't see the angle you think she's gonna go right through the underwear. Yeah, so you're like what the fuck? I was watching it going like tcause this is the first time I've seen it

looking okay. Right. I've only ever seen a bootleg like thrice copied D V like VHS before. Yeah. I I mean it was funny. I had looking okay, that's cute. Yeah. But looking okay, like it looked clear. Yeah. So I was like oh and I'm I mean you can hear things. I mean I've only ever seen it

I've never watched it on a D V D. Right. I've only ever seen it on a fucking deep tube square TV. Yeah. Right. And it's a VHS. VHS V. It's a great VHS. Looks like shit. Yeah. And then I eventually saw Ritten Necromantic Two. And that thing was unwatchable. Like the not the only the movie and the content, but the actual movie, the copy I had, I was like it was like and it was like wavy. I was like, I sh I'm wasting my time here. See I I love both of these movies, Necromatic and Necromatic Two.

I haven't seen them both in a minute and I totally blended them both together in my head. I fully forgot much of what happened in this movie. I really remembered the end. I remembered that he w like Rob and his job of collecting bodies. Barehandedly. Yeah, no ghosts. It's like there's no like professional like

Yeah. Body bags are like corner anywhere. You went to the corner store and got a couple heftiges and just tossed some shit in there. But their hazmat suits are just these plastic little suits with like marker of the logo drawn on the back. No gloves. So Jimmy. No mask.

No masks, no gloves. The guy literally Rob just literally just starts picking up guts with his bare hand and putting them in the bag. And maybe I'm tripping, but is it it's not their job to like pick pieces of debris out of the face.

You know, they're there, they collect the body, right? And to to deliver it You're not trying to make it look pretty. Yeah, like why why are you grabbing that piece, that chunk out of his eye? Yeah. Like you just grab his whole body. You don't need to the guts don't need to be separated. Just put a scoop it all up. Take the torso. What are you doing? Just grab her piece by piece on. For fucking glove on. They put a glove on to serve you a piece of sushi. Yeah. Like th I do I mean this movie

You don't watch while you're eating. I did. Oh my god. I made the mistake. I was like I was'cause we were about to record.

I only got, you know, an hour and a half here after work. I gotta get this done. I need to eat. I gotta eat something. I gotta do this. Oh was Rochelle sitting there watching too? Oh no, thank God Rochelle's sick and she's in the fucking bedroom. So wait, you watched this just moments ago. Mo moments ago. Uh Rochelle in the other room. I'm just like W sweating like please don't come out, please don't come out, please don't come out, I watch this

And I'm eat I'm eating something that just like if it's like I mean like a just a bagel with like some cream cheese and it's like the it's the nastiest thing to eat while watching what I'm watching'cause it's like creamy and creamy stuff. I feel fucking gross. I had like it's

The Necromancer's Lifestyle and Sequel

I'd like to turn away from the movie while I'm chewing just This movie's disgusting. Yeah. I think it's nothing if it's not disgusting. It is. I mean it's about being rowdy. Ghouls literal ghouls. Yeah. Yeah.'Cause like this isn't their first rodeo. No. Homeboy's got so much shit that he's been collecting. I I love that'cause they never talk about like, oh, should we do this? They we're It we're in the middle of it. Yeah. Yeah, we we met them already mid

Yeah. Fucking Google. Yeah. Yeah. Well imagine this. It does determine their death style too. Yeah. It does. It does. It actually ended up determining one person's death style. Yeah the funny is'cause like when I comb I'm combining these two movies

And I was thinking so because there's nothing to this movie. Yeah, sure. It it's like an hour long and it there's barely anything happening. But it is like these five things happen. So so I imagine watching the sequel, you're like, oh, that makes a complete movie. Yeah. That makes a full But you spend more time with the woman and the corpse in part two. It's a different woman. It's a different woman. You know why? Because the guy dies in the first place. Spoiler alert. But like it's a she

That woman is technically in part two, but like a different woman who is the necromancer in part two. I think the actor But is it supposed to be the same character? No. Just we're just cut to a whole different thing. Well that's the the car like yeah, the corpse that's in

Necromantic's Controversial Legacy

Necromantic two is Rob. I love it. Right. I love it. Yeah. Okay, and I got C2 now. That's great. And it's grosser. It's way grosser. It's like brown. Because it's also like it's a f it's years later. Wow. It was like ninety one. So like you know, and and it's just like it's like dead it's like uh Evil Dead Two. It's like those things where They have more money. Yeah. People are more excited. There's already there's already legend about it. So that's they're gonna go harder.

And after two came out, everyone was like, No, stop. In fact the authorities that's like every author countries are like, No, stop. You can't you're banned. Almost so many co we're talking Ban is currently banned in Canada. You cannot walk in Ontario. But like it finally just like recently got like certification to be shown legally in the UK and stuff. It's amazing. Yeah. It's crazy. But like but he had to go to court.

He had to go to court to be able to even like get his movies. Like they were fully not having it. Like Yeah, because you weren't a allowed to release that kind of movie in Germany. Right. And certainly not I mean he they released it as an X rated movie.'Cause then they could show it. Of course. But you still This movie why did I seek it out as a teenager? What's wrong with me? But I mean It's a it's exciting. Something so dangerous about it. Yeah, it is it it's a it's a it's like

Punk rock incarnate. Like it it really is It really is. Is anybody who's like I wanna be against the the grain, the authority, like the the mainstream, like this is that, you know. What can't you show in a movie? And I want to be shocked. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

This is one. This is the whole thing. It's it's kind of amazing to think about in twenty twenty six that you could still be somewhat shocked by a movie that was made in nineteen eighty seven. Yeah. And like grossed out by it and stuff. And I think it still delivers that, even though you're sitting there and you're like,

I know these guys just made this fucking corpse themselves. For sure. And sometimes it looks like shit, but other times damn that looks fucking ghoul. Sometimes it looks really real. They're gonna be sucking out an eyeball while they're fucking like I just want to fucking bark.

Necrophilia, Actor's Challenges, and Filth

Yeah, it's gross. It's fucking gross and then he spits it back out. It's fucking gross. I know it's like a it's a fake I gotta hope it's a fake corpse. I I know they're like fucking a fake corpse. Even that I was like, God I that's a h how did they do this, like even pretending to have sex with a corpse just seems like too far. Right. But that's a real thing people fucking do.

I that's crazy. That's crazy. And but also that's a real thing that the the actor who played Betty had to do and she That's what I mean. That's uh she didn't even put her full name in the movie. She just goes by Betty M. They was like, I'm not putting my fucking name in there. I'm surprised and I th I I remember

She would put her full name, but she put her full fucking chesticles in this. Yeah, but she's got she had sunglasses on the bathtub at first, which is the most disgusting bathtub in the world. And I was like That's a brown that's a brown water finger. In my mind, oh it's a that's a that's a

That's blood, right? You thought a book gummo bathroom was bad. Yeah, they're just they're just it's just filth. And I I'm watching her with sunglasses on in my mind. I'm like, does she have sunglasses on this whole movie to disguise her identity? And a mustache. She's running a big nose totally But no, soon she's like Full the you see. Yeah, you just kiss this thing is gross and like even a fake one would be fucking gross to kiss on. It's yeah, because we you figure like even fake.

They're slopping that thing up with jellies and and oil. And you're putting your mouth on it and you're pretending to have Have sex it just feels rowdy. Yeah. I it when I see this nowadays, all I can think about is like, dude, there's people that are Fucking corpses. People that legit like it's like that's their like

And the You just want to try to kink shame? Oh yeah, I thought you were open, Brian. Hey, it's always if the corp if it just happened upon the corpse and it was just dead. The corpse is like has a thumbs up. Yeah. Fine. You can you can fuck me. Fuck me. It's so sure. Yeah. I'm fine with that. Yeah ha you know how you have a a donor thing on your license? Can I have uh just like fuck my corpse on my yeah. Necromancy. But, I mean...

I mean it's all gross. I'm not being I'm I'm joking. It's fucking horrible. I'm a king shame. Kink shame a fucking necromancer. I I got I got it. I love how they put romance in it, like the what romance? You're not giving it flowers. What the fuck are you doing? I mean, uh we don't call them necromantics, we call them necrophiliacs, right? It's like that's the word that's the nomenclature. Totally. You're like, and isn't that funny?

sick. The art is sick. So good. It's and the part two put that together in the poster too. I think I must have seen it in a in the after the second one come out in Fangoria they talked about it because I was I remember seeing both covers, video covers. I'm like, ooh yeah that looks

like that looks fucking subversive. That's that's how I felt when I was seeing it around the studio. I'm like God, what is that? You're like you're like I want my movie to look like that on a poster. That's how I want m my movie to fucking have that vibe. You know well the vibe is like Be careful. Yeah. Especially the second one too. The first cover is pretty lovey dovey. The second one's like the hacksaw the hacksaw and the s yeah, the she's all spread and fuck yeah.

That movie's rough. I I mean I d I I still haven't really seen it. I've seen I've seen it through the most d warped VHS thing I've ever seen. And I was like, this I can tell it's grosser. And I just kinda don't need to finish. I might like two better than one. It's rougher. I feel like I kinda have to see it now. Yeah.

Oh I like that. Oh god. We will do I get picked next, Brian says? Okay, I'll make sure I get a nice creamy soup hot and ready while I fucking watch this. I've seen this a bunch of times and I'm like, oh I don't think it's a little bit more than a little bit.

a public restroom that's been that's uh ha somehow's the floor's all wet, you know one of those? Yeah. I don't want to touch anything. I don't want to do it. Like what is that smell? That's like I could I felt like I was smelling that the whole time watching the movie.'Cause like that bedroom

Like their bed alone, their bed is full Ed Gain style. It's got the cyclone fence and yeah, it's got fucking chain link fence setup, which is kinda sick. But like they just had the corpse just chilling against a wall. Just dripping. Dripping into a plate. Yeah. What do you what are you doing with the goo? Dude, it is What do you think they're doing with the goo? I don't wanna know, Josh. They're lubing up with the goo. Yeah.

Real Animal Killing and Personal History

For the listeners and stuff too, but is the the rabbit Right. Very smart of the filmmaker to to put re a real killing in it. Like uh uh you know, watching the rabbit get fucking filleted. Right. For food. And then and then cutting back and forth, like'cause you're gonna have a reaction to that. You're gonna have a very real reaction that's

The fact that it is real is gonna it just translates over to the fake stuff that you're he kinda cuts in between. It makes it that's genius. It makes it all feel way more rough. And then later they immediately do like these hard cuts to them like eating two, eating some gross looking food and then cutting to the corpse. I'm like, this is so smart because it's this is making me want to gag. Yeah. Watching them eat while like this nasty corpse is dripping over here. Right. This

It's pretty fucking brilliant. Yeah. And I mean like it goes hard. Yeah. As a as a vegan, of course I'm against killing of animals, but like this animal was killed for food and they just filmed it and put it in the movie. Right. I'm not condoning it, but I'm not I'm not gonna I'd rather have people

see where their food comes from than not, you know. For sure, yeah. Well I f I feel like I'm swearing off all food now after watching this. I don't even I'm going past veganism. Just I don't want anything. No wanna eat. I'm just gonna starve. I don't feel good. But like but but the thing about it, like for me is like The r a rabbit as opposed to say a cow or a pig.

is like a rabbit is like one of those things it's like right there with a cat or something where it's like so cute. Oh it's like the most cute. So like seemingly docile, even though some rabbits are fucking bitches, man. But like for the most part It's a very cutesy little animal and just to see it get fucking bonked, cut and stripped is like I feel like bonked and do enough.

Oh y that should have been a better bonk. I I didn't feel good about that one. That's the thing about killing rabbits too,'cause I grew up on a rabbit farm.

I would watch my dad kill rabbits. Pretty much weak. Oh yeah. Do they really k like tear the fucking like happens right off like that? That that part to me is like the the it's just got this visceral because it's like it just it is. It's so like The brutality of like Just peeling the skin off and it takes so much strength for a p for a grown my dad's six foot two.

For that guy a size of him to he was had to pull with all his might to get a rabbit's skin off. A tiny little floor. No fucking gloves. Bloody hands, slippery. Also, my dad was not the pro that this guy was. Shit took a way longer for my dad to skin a rabbit and I would just be sitting there going like ooh. And then while I'm watching this, I'm like, Oh yeah, this is I remember this. This is not so bad. I mean, I turned out fine.

No, I as a teenager sought out necromantic, drove a hundred miles to watch it. I'm not fine. I've never I I I've never seen an animal like Like murdered like lat like in front of me. I've seen videos and I fe seen pictures and all that stuff, but like not in front of me. Oh bunnies are awful but I've but I've seen like a deer

That's been stripped and like in a garage like right after. For sure, for sure. Um, some of that deer. The part of the bunny that I mean I've seen all the I've seen a lot of rabbits killed and it's not great. But the part never mind, I won't even tell you the part they skipped that I'm not gonna never mind.

You gotta traumatized. Okay, the the traumatizing part of that that they skipped that I didn't see in this rabbit killing is how much blood comes out of the nose of a rabbit when you hit him on the head with a club. Fucking hell. It is terrible. But it was uh that was the that's the part that I think of when I think about the

A rabbit dying for food. And I ate rabbit a lot. And I ate rabbit even long after that. I was like, Oh, I I really enjoy eating rabbits. It's it's one of the animals I love the taste of. Yeah. Crazy now that I think about it. Crazy to eat a rabbit. It's essentially a cat. Right.

I mean people keep them as pets. I have a friend that's got like two rabbits. I've had pet rabbits, yeah. Yeah. And I was traumatized when the fucking rabbit w died.'Cause but uh it has they have so much personality. Rabbits are great. We had pet rabbits at the same time we had stewers and friars.

It's crazy. How'd you p how'd you know which was which? Well, one was named Boo and he was like a hundred pounds. We'll keep that one. Boo was yeah, he was it was a pet. There was a pet store in Runner Park that used to have this fucking rabbit that was like

The biggest rabbit I've ever seen. It couldn't even move, it just had to lay there. Yeah. Just a puddle. Seriously. It was seriously. Like every time you're like, yeah, it's in that corner, always. Yeah. So he's just fucking loafing. Job of the fucking rabbit. Poor rabbits. They're so strong and they're so cute and they're so innocent. I mean that you think about a rabbit's like defensive skills. Kicking. It's to kick and run. To kick and run and run. If you've caught it, then they're done.

And it's so sad and like But yeah, that part's brutal. I kind of forgot about it to be honest and I was like, Oh fuck. Yeah, I didn't either. When I saw the route I was like, Oh right. But when I was watching my It's like no wonder these guys are vegan. Yeah. Yeah.'Cause I remember like the cat killing'cause of course it's so obviously a fake cat and all that stuff. Thankfully. But like you're almost at the point. Yeah, you're almost like right there where you're like

you know, outlaw filmmaking, they could have just killed a cat and it wouldn't have been that surprising to you. But also you still have this rabbit in your brain, so it it still translates over to the fake stuff. Yeah. A real cat that was there for a second.

Rob's Unhygienic Practices and Decline

Sure. And then he's slamming it against a wheel on a fucking track. Sticky the cat stiff. But uh yeah, I mean the stuff that that Rob does to try to get a fucking to get his bone off is like Where he's just like in a bath and he's like letting the drip blood from the cat drip on him and he's like digging around in it and spreading on his face and shit. He's misguided. I got a w why did he blow it at that job so hard? Like this is your ideal

Spot bud. Yeah. You're you're like you're hooking you and your lady up with guts and pieces and yeah whole bodies whenever you can. Well let me tell you why you fucking show up on time, bro. He's he's he's got mental problems, Jeff. He didn't show you. No. He doesn't make good decisions. Oh what therefore he's late to work. Oh but like I was trying to figure out besides the late to work part, like he He's ki I mean yeah.

I love this. I'm horny all day. Yeah, what what am I bringing home today? You know, like what? You're you know you're all constantly now we're early. Isn't there something about your fucking hazmat suit on? Isn't there uh dunes doesn't he have Aren't they complaining about the smell of his like locker and stuff? Right, and like hated him just like button heads with that guy. For whatever reason, that guy doesn't like him. Which of course I guess if I worked with Rob maybe I would be like

I'll tell you what sucks. I don't want uh yeah, Rob with Rob. I'm gonna tell ya. I from I having seen this movie a number of times. Rob sketchy. I'm gonna go on a limb and say that dude is sketchy. He's many things, but sketchy is number one. Like when he's not looking, people call him sketchy rob And that's a lot'cause like the guy the boss of this company.

Like you could be a sketchier crew. How are you the sketchy one? How yeah, how are you the sky of the guys that are scraping up bodies barehanded on in in a van and then riding in the same van with the bodies, parts and stuff? Yeah, not even not even a container, just like Like again, just charging these half bags that are not fully clothed. Let me close, you know. Again, let me tell you something. The quality of life you have to experience to accept this as your job.

It all those guys in the back of the van look really bummed that that's their job. Yeah. Except Rob. Except Rob. He's like yeah, pulling on his pants. Right. Yeah, he I mean he was so pumped to just bring that body home. Like it I love how uh you see his brain work. He's like, Oh I'm gonna go there, go go dump the body. He's like, Okay.

Ding. Yeah. Sure. Pop his trunk though. Maybe it goes in my car instead of into the garbage. And like his chick was so fucking pumped. Oh yeah. Like she was so pumped she took off with it. Yeah. I'll leave your ass, but I'll keep this fucking like what? When they like cut the knob off of the bed thing and then make it a dick for the corpse, like

She must have a vagina of steel. That thing did not look comfortable. I thought that thing was metal my whole life, but I think it might have been wood. Yeah, it looked it looked fucked. Oh it did seem like they were'cause at first I was like, is he making a sawdown shotgun?

Yeah, it's it looks like it's a pole, but then when they c when you see it cut it's like it's wood. First time I've seen it, it is like it's not it's not hollow. Yeah. It's like a it's like a broom stick or something. Yeah. That's and and that is that's not ergonomic or fun. No. I mean that you you know, yeah, it that's very straight.

And there's no curves, there's no And putting a bag ass condom on it's not fooling anybody. But that thing's coming off. You're like, Well that's like it's coming off and you it's gonna hurt you. You're gonna be hurt. Yeah. I think he's also sketchy. She is. She's in equ equally if not more sketchy. She might be more sketchy. She's also shitty where she'd like to leave your ass because you got fired. Oh yeah, the next that evening. Yeah. And I like when you start talking about money.

Bitch, you don't care about money. You'd rather have this dude who's bringing home fucking eyeballs and shit. Where else you gonna go? Who else is gonna bring you home a fucking corpse? She even said How long do you think this thing's gonna last? Yeah, it's not gonna last very long. It's already fucking on its way out. So you need sketchy rob. You need sketchy rob. Yeah, she saw more of a future with a with that body than with sketchy rob. Yeah.

Yeah. And maybe that's maybe she knew. Maybe she knew Sketchy Rob was g but he he was gonna just you know escalate to like He the way he has to jerk off is gonna be a very uh self injuring way. That's the thing. Like r she's she she senses that Rob is not They're not good for each other. Yeah. It's not, you know. Sure, they they seem to be made for each other, but ri in reality when the when either, you know, partner can't

fulfill the needs of the other partner and they need to bring in a third and that's fine, but except for if the third's a corpse, then there's some yeah some sketchiness you gotta talk about. Yep.

Stench of Necrophilia and 'Gigalette'

Yep, that's uh also just like that. Who brought that a conversation up first, I wonder? I I don't feel like where does it start? To even be like I'm thinking about bringing home an eyeball today. Oh yeah? I let Kai rub it on my fucking junk? Yeah. Slap it slap. What? You sure about that? You sure about that? Yeah. Oh. I'm just like how that fucking house had to smell. And they were just like in an apartment building. So gross. It wasn't like they were at a a house out in the woods.

You weren't like Ed Gean's fucking house. When he looks when he sees that she's taken off, he sees a note, and he goes, Huh? And he looks at the wall. Just just a stain. No more body. The fucking stain. You didn't notice that the corpse wasn't there when you walked in. That's not the first thing you would check. Fresher in here. Something's something's wrong. Just the plates. Oh my god. I'm glad that I was like Always thinking that those plates are gonna come back.

Like they're gonna be with the plates. And even even even though they don't I know seriously like fucking Are you shitting me? But even though they don't, like they're still so Sketchy! Like those just the the visual of the plates and the shit foot dripping onto the plates. The plates aren't even on anything flat. Yeah. Yeah, that's gonna spill level your place. Haphazard fucking thrown there.

That's a thing too. Oh, why they're eating their beans and why'd they put in that huge hunk of meat, like cut that thing in half to fry it up? Stuffing it in that fry pan bare hands. Cut it in two. You were just handling Old m old corpse, and then now you're fucking handling new meat. They don't give a shit, Brian. I'm like, man, if you're you're just asking for worms. Dude, you are gonna get right fucking parvo dude. Yeah. Straight up. Straight up.

I mean yeah, maybe that's why that people do that do get those diseases'cause it's like I don't mean to be insensitive, but good fucking riddance. If that's what you're into I don't shop by you at the at Oliver's Market. You know what I'm saying? I'd rather not pass you in the grocery store. Yeah. I passed a kid in I had to go to Walmart the other day for Polaroid film because they're the only one town that fucking has it. And I went in there. I passed this fucking kid.

Probably younger than he looked'cause he looked like he was forty. But he was like, you know what those kids that like just grows too big? Like they're young but they're like you got too big. Like they'll never stop growing. Yeah, they'll look yeah, they're just like, you know, they're just like too big for like sixth grade. You know? Like they're just like big weird oath. And he fucking reeked. I walked past him and I'm like

Clean yourself. Like he was with his parents and shit and I was like, I had to walk through the cloud of this kid. Like it wasn't a fart. It was just like this kid's fucking extension. Somehow. I just want to see you pull. Clean yourself. Clean bro Dog and Clean Yours like me. I used to sit next to kid a wet towel. I sat next to a kid in in elementary school one of the schools I went to and he Smelled like unwiped ash. And it was like if your booty smells through three layers of clothes. Right.

Get thee to the tub, my dude. Quit fucking around. Put some soap on your butthole one time. One time. And you know what? Leave it there and put your underpants on over it. Work up a frog. Just while you're walking. Yeah, while you're walking. While your cheeks work a froth up. They're gonna work up a froth either way. Let's have it be a soapy froth rather than a fucking doodoo naise. But I think though is like you when you pass these sketchy ass people in a store or something like that.

They're gonna smell bad like that. Oh yeah. Because if they don't give a fuck about themselves, they don't give a fuck about a corpse in their house and their beds. I mean the if the water they're washing themselves with is Fucking gut water. Corpse water. Yeah. Your ass ain't gonna smell right. Yeah, like you need an extra like it's one thing if you wanna bathe in the blood and do your whole thing, but like get up and then take a shower and rinse yourself. Well, I think Betty did it one time.

She was in the bathtub with the fucking schmeg. Yeah. Sh with the schmutz. And then she's like, Oh fresh water over her face. Yeah, she did, yeah. So I'm like, Okay, get the good sense'cause you'cause if you see that woman walking towards you and all of a sudden she smells like a fucking s like you popped a skunk on the road. Yeah. Why though? Yeah. You should smell at least like

The Extreme Climax and Suicide Scene

Clothes Instead. Like like death. Yeah. But it's a yeah, I mean, that guy that got caught recently for like having all those body parts and stuff in his house, like that guy probably reeked. You know? I don't know, that guy might have had a shower. Yeah, but like, if you... If you sit in that house. Yeah, if you're like used to the smell of that, like your clothes are gonna have that on it. You're like Yeah. If you're a real great Great A ghoul.

There's people I know that take showers, but they don't they're not super clean people and their clothes just smell funky and they're not gonna be a little bit more. If you live in like a musty ass, dusty house you're gonna smell musty and dusty. Mm-hmm. So like, you know, you know, next time you're in fucking Whole Foods and you pass this fucking stinky weird Sketchy guy.

You never know what that guy's up to. Then you walk to the next aisle, you grab a fucking soap and you go you walk back to his aisle go put this in your underpants. Yeah. But then he bonks you in the parking lot and takes your ass home and says, Fucking kill. I'll show you. I'll t I'll put some in your underpants. This knife and then my face. Oh my god. So Rob is like horned up because he got dumped.

He gets a fucking a pro. He goes and gets a sex worker. I read that I I read this and I was like, so tell me I want to read a little analysis about this movie. And I I heard a word today. I'm fifty two. I read a word I'd never seen before. What word? Gigalette That sounds like a I'm like, wait a minute. There's a version I fear like cigarette is like little cigar. So Jigalette is like an added version like it's like Gigolo is the main character. Gigalette is like oh

Just a rare female version of a gigolo. Like what the fuck culture is this? Продолжение следует... Like you have a hooer and then you have a man hooer. Who's she whores are the main character. Man who're is the fake version. Yeah. Yeah, the gigalette, yeah. It's weird how close they are to juggolo and juggle it,'cause I definitely heard those. You think there's a coincidence? Of course. Maybe. What's going on at fucking the the gathering? Dude, juggalos get lonely too, baby.

But man, like yeah, she picks up the sex worker and takes her to the cemetery. I'm like, Yeah. For an extra few bucks down to climb. Yeah, maybe maybe this will work, yeah. 'Cause the first w lady wasn't down the clown. He had to pull up a couple times. She was like, Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. Get the fuck on. Can we go fuck in the cemetery? I need to be close to a dead body at least. Yeah. At least he knows. Well although I would fuck in the cemetery, so

Well it's not like I haven't fooled around in cemetery either. Okay, who my who my kidding? Yeah. Leave the body there or nothing, but like my the partner's body, but like we're all we're leaving together. All over the ground. Haunted haunted left to haunt the fucking grounds. I made a thousand ghosts Little annoying ghosts This big That's what those little

Uh what are they called? The when people do like ghost photography, it's sh the orbs. Watch out for all my That's all that is. That is. But yeah, so he fucking yeah, he fucks her, tries to fuck her. He can't he can't. Yeah, he's you know what? He's escalated. He's got a bit of a he's got a kink and it's not he's got a nice survivor. He's scratched.

And so he scratches it. Yeah. He makes her dead. And then he gets a fucking rager. And he's ready to And then and then all of a sudden we're watching a man fuck a dead body in a cemetery for what it what maybe 35 minutes? 45 minutes? Easy. Yeah. Most of the movie. Um Do you think he he fucked the other one? He made another dead body not too soon after after he woke up a after a blissful sleep. Yeah, that fucking guy. Yeah, I might have seen that picture in the Fangory. The same reason I

found it very necessary to see bad taste after why seeing that picture. Same thing. Half ahead guy. I swear when did when did bad taste come out? eighty seven. What the fuck really? Yeah. I was thinking I was thinking it was a little earlier because I was like, could be eighty six. Jurg must have been a fan of fucking Peter Jackson, but like

Maybe not. Maybe Peter Jackson was a fan of your these movies came out the same year. Something was in the ether, man. Well but Bad Taste came out in eighty seven, but was it made in eighty six? Both those movies have a half a headed. With with a tongue flapping around. Yeah. Bad taste looks better, but Yeah. But it's a great it's a it's it'll get ya. It's a good gag. Yeah, that's a great gag. It's it's like you seen you've seen heads cut off since the sixties. Yeah.

Oh for candelabra movies have headless creatures. But after Tom Savini I love'cause we always now get the f the hands that aren't the real hands of the body and they're like Yeah. Looking for the where the head goes. Where the head go Like how are you wondering where your head went? Because your brain's off. Yeah. Oh, I love it though. But yeah, so

Yeah, I mean he's him he yeah, why didn't you fuck that guy? Yeah, it's his he his hold right there. Yeah. Yeah. Oh shut up. I'm gonna shut the I'm gonna shut up right now. At night, all night. Blissful sleep with a hit the ultimate nut. A dead gigalette. Yeah, that's true. If you hit that ultimate nut, you're gonna sleep for at least eight hours. That was fresh. I mean, that was a fresh as a daisy. I think that the best he's had to date.

Right, because the other one was a dude and was much dead. This was a was a woman. Right. He did the deed. Yeah, he did the deed. So that's

Nineties Taboos: Autopsies, Amok, Shock

Extra exciting. Well be serial killers it is. It is. Well uh what do you think, Jeff? How would that feel for you? Would you be more excited by that? No. But there's The people that want to see the light go out of your fucking eyes. And that gets them fucking raging. Geez, Brian knows a lot about self-screen. Brian knows the emotions, the levels of arousal. Just saying. I've read I've read a book or two. And they're both about this exact thing.

Uh did you guys ever watch that uh autopsy show on HBO back in the nineties? I've I've been re watching it just this is just coincidence. I've been re watching that this week. Sick. Yeah. And now we're watching this shit. That show fucking rolls. That show was crazy. Especially the nineties. That show was crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, there was w I'm telling you the eighties

In the nineties were so weird. The first time I ever went to LA, I was so stoked to go to LA because I went to the amok store. I don't know if you remember amok. But there was a it was like a LA company, but they were just like a really all it was this is pre internet. Like pr so I was like there was a book and it was a huge catalogue and it was just like here's

All the books about the Zodiac Killer. Here's all the books about all this crazy shit. There's one called like Shut Up Ma, the Ed Kemper story. All these crazy serial killer books. They had then they had one that was all about the occult, and it was Mail Order.

So you could mail order anything in their store. And they had a big warehouse. And they also had a store right on like is it Venice Boulevard in a in LA? Okay. Small small store. That's where I first bought my porno records. Sick. They were all it just had like just hectic shit. It was a hectic ass store.

And I went in there and I was like and I I would order books from them and I ordered the Joel Peter Witken book from them. They had all everything killer. Yeah. And then they had um but they had a The a video called the uh it was this like a muck like video guide which had all just clips of all kinds of crazy shit like wild v violent things and news clips and like uh what's his name? Uh the fucking s Bud Dwyer video of him off and himself was the like the grand finale of that thing.

And then um You ever seen that video? Oh yeah, hectic. So hectic. The amount of blood that comes out of that. Oh my god. Sorry. That was no that's real. Just related to that banana or banana. The bunny rabbit. Banana rabbit, yeah. Um but there's a uh both of those. Yeah. The the amok video journal and a

video I got called Basic Autopsy Procedure from the sixties, which is just a full autop hour long autopsy. Wow. Yeah.com or something like that when I saw like my first like autopsy. Is that still going? Rotten? Yeah. I bet it's button.

Maybe. Do you remember like Rotten dot com was like Geez, I was too scared. I was too scared to go on to Rotten.com. You never went on? But I've I've seen like, you know, those faces of death movies and that kind of shit. But it's pretty much that, but like rapid fire and you Rotten dot com was my friend and then the Early internet. Josh, I think he had the th Brian is saying some things today. I mean that's the problem. Like I would travel and mail order videos that were what Brian's ex

I can't judge Brian. No I would when I if I Brian Josh is fucking weird. But selling that shit, I would buy it. Oh yeah. I bought so much books and all my scene book like on Hate Street. Some store on Hate Street had it and it's like this big old black and white thing, just like the gnarly

The forties and Ouija ads and the car crash and Naked City Ouija book from that from that. That one rules the the I know the one I have the one you're talking about too. Yeah. I have a few different like well questions photo books, but like

Yeah. Yeah, we're all fucked up. So what? Yeah, we're we like fucked up shit. I mean any horror movie fan in the back of their head, they do like to see fucking gore and craziness. Who's not curious about death? It's inevitable. It's coming for us all. Yeah. I kind of I kinda wanna

Sex, Death, and German Pornography

See some of it. I'm gonna prep myself for it. Prep prep yourself. He he said like he's like you know, two of the biggest Taboos or the things that people s you know, are f all freaked out about in the world are sex and death. Which is in everybody's life. Right. Yeah. And it's in every horror movie and it's in every f you know, it's like

Uh it's the you know, it's a thing. It's the thing we want to attain and the thing we're so afraid of, right? Like the thing and some people are afraid of both of'em, you know. Um but some people are i into both of those inevitable parts of of being alive for sure. And they overlap sometimes in horrific ways. Yeah. For sure. And that's the thing is like sex and death is in every horror movie, but like he says it himself in an interview where like

But I just presented it in a more honest manner, you know? Like usually it's like not presented that way. It's much more like here's some co eds with some boobies and they're gonna fuck, you know And then they're gonna get killed later. Yeah. Like, well let's just skip to the the guy and the gal fucking the corpse. Yeah, hey well why why what about this combo? Y'all like this? And a lot of countries are like, no, we don't in fact Absolutely.

Absolutely deny. We reject it. Yeah. Dude, how about that scene where they're he's tossing the head back and forth the lady Oh my god. What the fuck? I like that. That it also that thing looked crazy. Like who's doing this the effects?'Cause they didn't York was doing'cause that looks legit. Yeah. They did they didn't

All again this thing was made like we made brown ass. Grab your fucking friends on the weekends. We're making this. They had film stock and it was I forgot I again, like I mentioned, I've only seen this movie looking bad and this first time I saw it and I'm like, it still looks bad. But it's not without artistic merit. It looks fun and a lot like the sex scene, at least it's obscured by

For like the weird phasing thing. At least there's a they were like, oh they spared you a little bit. Thank God. It's not a it's not fully a porno. Yeah. But it's worse. But I mean you don't yeah, but it's it and it is worse because you know what's happening, but like you don't see any penetration. You barely see you don't really see you see d y you get you we get a horror hog, but we don't really see her like Vulva or anything. So like you know it's

I'm is it restrained? It's somewhat restrained. It could have been rougher and it could have been more explicit, but then it would be like Kind of not a real movie. Right. I mean isn't German pornography like it kind of just started with just like shit porn?

No, I wouldn't say that, no. That's a part of the biggest. Like vehicle porn? Yeah. They made it pretty much it's ninety five percent shieldos. But like that you know, they they uh I would say that they brought shit porn to the masses. I would say you're right. But Most of German pornography I would venture to guess is not Sure Shit porn. I'm not a fan of shit porn. I'm not gonna fucking uh kink shame, but the only shit porn I've ever seen has definitely been German.

Well no, it was two girls, one cup uh German. Uh I don't know. But that's not the one I've seen. It's maybe I've seen two shiphorns. Whoops. Maybe I've seen more. I don't think I've actually ever seen a real shit porn. Really? No, not uh no.

Except for the two girls one cup, which I don't think was real. I think that might have been. Have you seen real shitboard? Only the two girls one cup thing. I don't know. I guess not. I guess not. Hold on. Brian goes and gets a videotape from his from his backpack. This is my fanny pack. It's one of it's a German fanny pack. Yeah. Um, what was yours? What tell us about it?

It was just a dude and he was like talking in German, so I don't know what he was saying. And then a girl plopped a turd on a paper plate. No paper plate. Not even there weren't even there was no niceties. They wouldn't have the good china out. They had fucking paper plates. Plopped it on a paper plate and then he proceeded to like

Just fucking eat it. Oh, okay. Is that that's porn?'Cause if I if that's porn.'Cause I'm trying to say I saw John Waters' pink flamingos. Of course, that was the first time I ever saw anybody eat a turd. But that wasn't a that wasn't a human chip. Yeah, so we've seen it. It's different. Well, if eating shit is porn, does that mean that Divine was did bestial porn? Yeah.

Yuck Yuck though. I love that you know my favorite part of watching Divine the Beautiful Divine eating poop fresh out the dog is at least she gagged.

Actors' Commitment, Morticians, Butt Plugs

Yeah, yeah. She's human. Yeah. She's grossed out about it. Rob and Betty do not gag at all. No, they don't flinch. When they're licking a slick corpse. Dude. No. No flinching. Just like pieces of his eyelid flopping around. It's like when you th when you see someone almost get

fake punched and they flinch, you're like, ooh, they're human. Yeah. If they don't flinch, you're like, uh oh. Yeah. We're not friends anymore. You're dangerous. Yeah. No, yeah. It's the thing. Like you the crazy part is is this wasn't real, but like those actors were doing a hell of a job because even though that wasn't real, like

That was a real fucking eyeball he had in his mouth. And he did that over and over. Because they want to film a close-up. They want to do all his things. I don't love it. He was like, I saw. Uh, outtake clip of him squirting an eyeball in and out of that fucking socket, back and forth, and he wasn't even gagging. So, again, like you're saying. Someone might be guilty of some real atrocities out there. Well here's the thing too, like

There's people who put meat in their mouth every day. Right. That was not a human eye. That was a pig's eye. People eat that for real. That's a that's a delicacy someplace. So if you're gonna put food in and out of your mouth, he hey, you know what? He didn't even swallow it. There's that. Right. He's not that gross. But it was weeks old, so it was rotting and then they were just plopping it in some formaldehyde, so nothing else. It's it just r was disgusting. I can you know what I once

di a as we all probably did, dissected a fetal pig. Did you ever have to do it? I never did it. I had to do it in fucking Petaluma High School. Yeah. And I can still smell it. I can still smell formaldehyde. Ugh and pig's flesh. I cannot believe I'd I have not smelled it since, of course, but it was a terrible smell. And if he had to have that in his mouth, That's that's really like the crazy just like the psychology of like you're so into fucking a corpse that like you don't even notice Gnarly.

Stench. Like'cause a corpse is like one of those smells that is undeniable. Oh yeah. Un Forgettable. You think you wouldn't get used to it. Unique. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean I think probably people who work around dead bodies probably get used to it. I mean, yeah, we we know people that work in the in mortar. We know people that work in like the you know, undertaking stuff. Uh shout out to uh

I I don't know if I should say his name so I won't I won't say your name, but we have a friend of the podcast that listens to us while he's performing on dead bodies. I know a woman that works in in in town here that I've yeah, that I've who's of cheerful, delightful, very positive person who a the job has to get done.

I it's I I never n it's like weird like now I know like a handful of people that work with dead bodies. I used to think I wanted to do that. Yeah. I used to think that I could. And then one of these people that works on dead bodies told me about the butt plug.

That's that was the deal breaker. That was the deal breaker. The cork.'Cause you screw it in. Yeah. You don't want to come out. You don't want to come out. Yeah, you don't want to come out, but also the fact that you have like there's a the fact that there is A device.

That keeps whatever's left in your little booty from coming out into your fucking coffee. Do you know what keeps it in all the time? Your muscles. Your muscle your conscious living muscle. The littlest The littlest muscle doing the Lord's work.

X-Rated Side Quest: Prolapsed Assholes

Most of the time, hopefully. Can I take a little X rated side quest real quick? Would you please, Brian? We all know the pink sock. We all know two laps prolapsed assholes. I've heard legend. Now, there's a lot of porn stars. I think that that ha like that th they have blown out buttholes. Uh-huh. Like they they they like pink sock like most times. There's a few of them out there. Can you

Like, okay, you you you do your business, you do your job, and then when you're just like ha like chilling, you ate some fucking bad Taco Bell. You have a f a hard fart? Like are there assholes able to like Keep shit in or are they wearing diapers now? Like I don't know, like I know that sounds really fucking like shallow and like uneducated and yes, it is both of those.

Admittedly both. But I'm on and I'm also admittedly curious. Oh you're curious. I understand. I bet that if you really want to fudge up your algorithm, you could find out Uh just by typing in a few words. You think that would fuck up my algorithm? That's cute. Uh that's uh interesting question though. I I do I do wonder that. I don't I don't have an answer. I I don't know. Because if it's that loose where it's it's coming outside of your body.

I feel like you might be able you might not have full control in that case. And and you you just push it back in with a fingy or can you suck? It kinda sucks back in. I am unfamiliar with the intricacies of trunk butt. But I'm curious and also Not curious. Don't tell me. If anybody knows Don't let me know and they want to tell us anonymously. Tell Brian. From no, no. Tell us. Don't tell me. You can call you can call our Number seven oh seven three two seven two seven two nine eight four

Do that and warn me before you throw us a trigger warning and then also don't throw us your name, don't worry about it. You can disguise your voice, use a fucking scream box or whatever you gotta do. Uh it's the then you then you have to imagine fucking the the deepest voiced insane insane person. Uh But yeah, I'm ver I'm honestly like I'm curious. I probably could find out the answer on my own.

Through a couple of searches. But if you know the answer, please let us know. But I'm but it it's honestly like

Eye Out of Socket, Decapitation in Film

Every once in a blue moon you come upon a video and you're like, how does that not fuck up your day? Makes me think like when you're not working. When your eye is halfway out, is all the way out of your head. It ain't gonna blink.

I feel like you lose certain features when it's far away. Can you still see out of your eye when it's out of the socket but it's still attached? Can you like look around a corner or like you think your your periphery is is larger because you know there's nothing Firstly, who in their right mind has had their eye out, like all the way out, so that you could see around a corner, like a periscope, and not Free panic so hard that you didn't consider testing.

One of my favorite things i is in Kill Bill when she snatches her eye out. Mm-hmm. Uh Daryl Hannah's eye, because Daryl Hanna plays that so legitimately, I think. Yeah like it's so Her freak out is exactly I think how it would happen if you lost your one remaining eye. Oh yeah. And it was snatched out of the socket like that.

Like I can't imagine not just doing that. So like that's I mean fully. So if your eye just happened to pop out and you could pop it back in, it was still attached, I'm just curious, but you would be too upset. And you probably would be more concerned with getting it in as fast as possible. Right. Back in. There's a movie someone just rec I was listening to Chuck and Dale's show, the uh Bat Bat and Spider, which I love, and they were talking they were about to watch this movie

That I had seen a long time ago. And I remember they were like, we're gonna watch this movie. And the movie's okay. The movie's okay. I don't even want to spoil it, but there's a scene in this movie. And I'll tell you guys later. I don't s like uh what do you say? The name of the movie? Yeah, the name if I say the name of the movie and I tell you what happened, then it's a definite spoily. It's like the very last scene of the movie. Where a woman chops a man's head off.

And then turns it around and faces a mirror. With his head. Oh, his head is like looking at his own. For like a splinter of its magnetic fucking hell. Yeah. Because they always talk about that like when you get your head severed, like you have like ten seconds or something. Yeah. Yeah. Like that you can still there's still a spark there that can like s know what's going on. She just holds it up into the mirror and sh you see her

Holding the head up like this and he's like m those eyes are moving around and it's like What a nightmare. Does it look good though or does it look like Yeah. Like m that someone cut a hole in my dresser and I'm sitting in there. Here's the thing though, it's not a horror movie. Whoa. It's it's kind of like a fun it's like a comedy. It's like a dark comedy and a Drama. What the fuck? Yeah, you did gotta tell me what that is when you're gonna

But it's it was um yeah, I I was like, Oh that's oh wow, it's that movie. I think about that scene all the time. Yeah, I would too. That's wild. But I mean, yeah, think about talk about panicking. Yeah. Nothing you can do at that point. No. You just gotta bask in your reflection. Oh well, I look okay. I still look good.

Final Review and Director's Background

Wink and then go. Well thank you, Brian, for Yeah. Subjecting all of us too. So did you did you enjoy it or are you just mostly grossed out and shocked? Uh all of it. Yeah. Definitely grossed out, definitely shocked. But I was like

Yeah, that's pretty interesting. That is a pretty interesting movie. I didn't enjoy it as much this time as I did when I was younger. Like Joy is is is a f funny word for it, but yeah. So I really I liked one part that I didn't even consider when I was younger. I like when he's on the when he realizes like what his next step is and he just goes, Yah and runs down the hill. I know what that means. I think that means yes. And when I saw it the first time, no subtitle.

Really? Yeah,'cause I s I saw bootleg ass drug. Yeah, you ain't missing anything. Yeah. They talk about shit. But I didn't miss a thing. Yeah, I wonder how I mean, I must have seen it with the title subtitles already on it,'cause uh there there's no fucking way I would have I mean

Yeah. It wasn't just in German, so I saw I understood the story. So Yeah, the version I saw was a German DVD. So you're just like, this is like literally like this weird ass movie. It's real. Yeah. There's really not very much dialogue in it. No. Like they i the couple barely talk. They barely talk. Yeah without without

outreading what's going on, you could know what's going on. Yeah. She might as well on that note just been a drawing a middle finger up. Yeah. Fuck you jerk. A corpse, uh a skeleton with a heart around it. Yeah. And a middle finger. Oh yeah, but we haven't talked about the ending. Haven't fucking do the The best part you mean? The the most iconic part.

Is that the is that is that the most iconic part? I mean it's the part that everyone's like what a hell of an ending. I yeah, I was like, oh wow. I was like vocalizing uh my amazement. And I'll tell you that and I don't mean to be gross.

This is a scene I saw multiple times because I was in a band called The Morticians and we definitely Had lots of T Vs playing clips from horror movies and we put we just cut that and looped it for a fucking made a lot of underage people at the Phoenix Theater watch that scene. When you fucking see the dick out and and then it comes blood, I was like, Oh my god. So it's so gnarly. Like Jorg was like We fucked up though'cause we made it all everything was one take.

So like they had to just get it done so like obviously it wasn't filmed like it could have been filmed. It should've been filmed better, but like they had two cameras. One slightly closer and one not the job done. Yeah. Well and they were cutting it all back and forth and you were getting you were getting a lot of it. Too much of it the gist, so to speak. Yeah. And all that that sounds like Yeah. It is it is uh

It's crazy. It was. I mean you gotta I guess you gotta go out on a h a bang. A big a big bang. Uh yeah, it is interesting though'cause like this movie it does it seems like it takes place over like three days. But obviously it's a bit longer because like he's escalating from like taking home an ear or an eyeball, taking home a full-blown corpse, fucking corpses, making his own corpses, and then deciding to make himself the corpse.

And and that's where it's like yeah. You know what Uber I was not expecting to see him come. Like I I was like, Okay, yeah, he's probably gonna like have a boner. Okay. But but they you full on see the jizz. Yeah. Shooting out so hard. Oh my God. And then blood shoots out. It's a lot. It's a hell of a scene. It's a lot. Yeah.

As he's as he's stabbing his inner his guts. Yeah. I like how he but w he he walks up to his kitchen counter and goes, Hmm, looks at this knife and goes, Huh examines knife. You know what you're about to do, dude. That's your knife. You just cut a steak with that knife. I know No he did not cut any steak with that knife. I mean he had to cut it like to eat it.

Yeah, it is uh it's uh a night to remember that that scene. It's insane. It's a fucked up movie, dude. It's really fucked up. It's a crazy a crazy movie. You know what? There was no suicide warning.

Yeah, I mean uh well I'll definitely put the trigger warnings I'm joking at the beginning.'Cause that's the worst that's like the mildest thing that happens in the whole movie. Sure, totally. But I but I still think uh for people that have never seen this when when you know we put up our thing, I'll definitely put trigger warnings for Uh for what? The whole thing? For the well of course for the whole thing, but it mainly the animal

Abuse and killing and and the suicide. The necrophilia. The trunk button we talked about. I think the the title of the if they go into necromantic and they're surprised by the necrophilia, then they are an idiot. Oh yeah. Yeah probably. What? He's in here fucking a corpse. What? I never Yeah. I thought he was gonna be doing spells like a necromancer. I thought he's just gonna be kissin'. It's more romantic than just kissing. Oh boy, is it ever

Explicit. Yeah. Thank you guys for checking it out though. Oh my god. Did I have a choice? No, you didn't. Now you know. I was excited to pick it though'cause I was like, ooh I've been wanting to see it so I'm forcing everyone to watch this right now. Yeah, I'm not sure. It's divisive. And I have. Yeah, and it i I mean it it's not a great

It's not a great movie. It wasn't greatly made. No, no. It's a pile of shit, but like I kind of love it. I'm interested to see for what it is. Yeah. The movie Shram, which uh Booker I did, I'm interested in seeing that movie. I know we have it on the shelf. Yeah. And I haven't seen any of his other stuff either. There's another on one of the DVDs has like this other movie that has some of the same people from Necromanic in it, but it's called Hard Love.

Oh really? And I don't know what it's about, but that's on there. I almost watched it last night, but I didn't. But like Yeah, I mean he did a lot of featurettes and stuff. He's an interesting director. He's like He's controversial. He he's was young when he made this'cause like he's like our age now. Yeah. Like he was fucking young in eighty seven when he did this. Like it wasn't like you know He was probably yeah, twenty something.'Cause like yeah, I was seventeen.

Yeah. Wait. Is that was I no no no no no. No no you're you're thirteen. In eighty seven? Yeah, I didn't see it'til the early nineties. Yeah. I was I was thirteen. I was pr uh no I was not twenty one.

But it's one of those I was over I was over twenty when I saw it. There was this place in Berkeley, I I mentioned it before but there was a place on right on Chat at called Professor Curtis's Cult Video and it had the best sign and it was the coolest fucking store and I would the first time I went I I I was like, Oh, all these fucking movies, all these Russ Meyer movies, all these things I had never seen in the video store before.

I brought a fuck ton home. And they were always like I think I might even have some, but there was like a red Photocopied, cover. Never did it have a picture. It just always said the name of it. It was typewritten. It was like he did the paste ups. Professor Curtis was a school dude and he said the Alameda Flea Market sometimes these days. Yeah.

But he had such a killer store. God's where you go. I would go, I'd me and a friend would go and then I'd have to return them. I'd have to drive back to Berkeley to return them. Wow. And it was yeah, I I did that a bunch of times. I g I was like signed up for the membership, gave the fucking debit card, all those things. Be like, I need I need to rent movies from here.

Short Horror Films and Cult Status

But I do I remember seeking out Necromanic was like seeking out Texas Chainsaw Massacre for me. Like it was like like the I have like this is a m a mission, you know. This uh This is a you know a quest that I'm on to see. Did most video stores not have Texas Chainsaw movies? Like w the movie when it keeps it.

Only the ones that had like cool other stuff. Like expansive horse. Like it wasn't like like not that I was like not that even Blockbuster was around, but just like more mainstream ones didn't really I feel like have such a deep horror selection, you know? Like they had they had of course they had the hits and stuff. And later on you could get that stuff. But like I definitely feel like early on it was it was a cool video shop that my friend my cousin rented

It from, you know, like so and that was a whole thing. But like I feel like I'd the first time I saw Texas Chansa, I bought it. Wow. Well actually the first time I saw Texas Chainsaw was in the movie Summer School. But the first time I actually saw the whole movie was'cause I had to b I bought a copy for like fifteen bucks. Same. Yeah. That's for someone I saw too. I just strap just bought it. I'm like, Yep, I'm gonna buy that. Yeah. I I need to have this. Yeah.

I mean I would have bought Necromanic without seeing it if I had the choice, you know. Did you guys also s I had to seek s uh seek out freaks? In the nineties. Totally. Did you gu you guys did that as well? Yeah. Yeah.'Cause I I'd only I'd known about it for years'cause of these books. Totally, same. So it's anytime I could find or try to find it, I would. Mm-hmm. And it was like years and years later. I was so excited to Yeah, it's
