Slash and cast. Welcome back, fiends, to Handle with Scare, presented by the Slash and Cast Podcast Network. Our show discusses horror movies and the phobias they emphasize. I'm your host, Emily Drunk, and throughout the month, we've been shining the spotlight on the fiends, their phobias, and the films that induce their fears.
You're sure to join us on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7.30pm Pacific Time for our weekly watch parties, which we host over on our community Discord. Tuesday selections are always dedicated towards the movies that will be featured on the podcast. While Thursday's selections focus on 2025 calendar releases. You can join us and the rest of the fiends over on the discord at bit.ly forward slash handle with scare. and of course with me here tonight as always is my co-host grindhouse zombie
And zombie, uh, a little off-kilter. We're recording on, uh, on a Monday. I hard crashed after work yesterday. I slept for like 14 hours. I feel wide awake right now. But, you know, coming back to work after vacation is always just an absolute clusterfuck. Sure enough, that has been the case. But... You know, I did go out. I saw a couple of movies in theaters.
Uh, on Friday night, I went to go see the new, you know, David Cronenberg movie, which we were talking a little bit about, uh, on our antiviral episode that dropped earlier in the week. And then I went... begrudgingly, do go watch the Until Dawn adaptation, which of course is based off of the hit video game. And I will say this. Both of them fairly middled in movies. One of them had a much better pace than the other. Had I seen The Shrouds later...
I can guarantee you I would have fallen asleep. Because it was a very slow-moving movie. It was a lot of dialogue. I didn't certainly hate it. It did have some things that I enjoyed. Obviously, it helped that it had some other bees in it, because I mean, that usually does help. But from a story perspective, it was at least easier to follow compared to his prior film. But it just...
It didn't do a whole lot to grab your attention in the runtime that it had, and if you're running two plus hours in these horror movies, it's just like... There needs to be a little bit more meat on the bone for us to enjoy, and we just didn't quite get that.
Until dawn, I knew going in I probably wasn't going to like it, because just based off the trailer alone, right out of the gate, as soon as I introduced that time loop element that is Nothing to do with the game already know it was gonna be a super loose adaptation and they changed quite a bit from the game version to this and
you know it's obviously it's gonna be a gripe one way or another when it comes to video game adaptations obviously our expectations anytime a video game is adapted to a movie uh Chances are, it's gonna be dog shit. I mean, there's only been a select few that have really helped capture, like, the atmosphere of the game.
Obviously for me, the pinnacle of that is probably still Silent Hill, even though the story on that one is still a little convoluted to follow, but at least it captured a lot of the elements of the game. But with Until Dawn, it's like with... you know you and i were talking a little bit about this uh earlier in the weekend it's just like with these teen ensemble cast like it's not like it was back in the day like it's been so hard for them to like chisel out these characters that stand out
So many of these characters that we've just been introduced to have been so one-dimensional and no one... It sticks out like a sore thumb. It's just like, okay, here's our vanilla character one, vanilla character two, and it just keeps going. It's just like...
Nothing is really there to like wow us anymore, at least the creature effect enough to like pique my interest a little bit but it was just such a detractor from the game or just like i would rather just spend eight hours playing a game than sitting through an hour and a half of what is a very generic horror movie
so i have yet to see that one only because i'm just not going to in the theater because mostly because it's a video game adaptation i just I think that 99.9% of those suck and the 0.1% that don't suck only moderately suck. um as far as shrouds yeah i did see that and It's an intriguing movie because it feels like a movie that is building you towards something grand. And yes, it did have the bees, but in a lot of scenes, it was only one bee. So that does not...
Two Bs and one B are not the same thing, so I hope we're on the same page as far as that goes.
But then, despite this movie's length, right when it felt like you were getting into a third act and we were going to get a payoff, the movie literally just ended abruptly. And it was like, I was in the theater and I went, literally out loud went really and the that and this it was actually pretty well attended there was probably 15 20 people in there that the collective thought was like yeah really what what what the just happened um so
on the bright side you still haven't seen sinners yet so you still have to look forward to and that i will promise you will be good so it won't be the most disappointing uh thing you've watched Now, let me tell you a little bit, because I got a gripe about my day today. My old ass dog woke me up at four o'clock in the morning and when you got an old ass dog and they wake you up, there's usually a reason.
And so yeah, there was a reason. Did all the things I was supposed to do, and still came home, and the dog had his shit on my floor, which was awesome. So couple that with the fact that
The weather people in my town were talking about the fucking apocalypse all motherfucking day long and most of the day yesterday. It's coming. Be prepared. Get your flashlights and your... plywood and your radios and be prepared to kill and eat your neighbor if you have to all this all this stuff and at my house when everything hit it didn't even fucking rain
so there's a we'll call him a meteorologist guy on youtube that i follow because i saw what he does is interesting and so i was watching his thing when i got home from work and I actually asked a couple of questions.
and this guy was so busy thanking his subscribers and you know thank you for the donations and blah blah blah blah blah I finally was like, I got pissed, and I'm like, you're not a fucking meteorologist, you're a social meteorologist, and you know what, I'd be better off with two fucking sticks trying to divine and find water than I would be listening to you.
Well, so then I promptly got banned because that's what happens when you try to tell somebody who's in social media what they're doing wrong. So then I tried to follow another guy, and apparently they must be friends because then that guy banned me too. So... Needless to say, all I wanted was a little bit of fun weather here tonight, and I had to settle for my wife and I watching Twisters. Not Twisters. Twister. Not Twisters. The second one is a pile of shit.
so we watched the first one and i to the day i die i'm still going to enjoy the contest of who looks better in a white tank top her uh helen hunter jamie gertz and you know what depending on your mood it could kind of go either way So, alright, so there's my bitching for the day. Yeah, it's not one of those days where I was happy that I woke up and got out of bed for this bullshit because it was not fucking worth it even a little bit.
Anyway, talking about our movie tonight, Tremors. This is one of those funny movies where I remember when it came out. um i want to say i was 16 years old something like that i did see this movie in theaters and For the time, you know.
1990 we're coming off the the 80s slashers and there's tits and blood everywhere this is one of those ones where it's like oh this is going to be like so good right and the first time i saw it it was like well it was interesting but i i'll admit i didn't think it was all that good and then as time has passed and it has let's face it achieved nothing short of cult-like status
You know, I've watched it a handful of times over the years, and then watching it again the other day, it's like, This movie is
Just the way that it's made, the characters are in it, everything about it, it's fucking brilliant. It really is just fucking brilliant. And for a movie of its age and of its ilk, it's not something that you... really think you're comfortable in saying but i mean and if i recall this movie is probably pg-13 um and it's like i i don't like it shouldn't be this good it just shouldn't be this good and it shouldn't hold up this well and after all these years i mean literally 35 years later
Goddamn. I mean, and I think if it tells us anything, our fiends are good at picking out movies that stand the test of time. They really are. And just to punish them for their good selections, we'll have to have two solid months of having to read movies.
because because that's always fun yeah have it make sure they have to read and then the movies have no blood no nudity to make sure that we we do that um yeah this movie is i'm not sure i've ever used this term before this movie is just a peach it really is it's just so good um And it's not overly bloody maybe except for the the warm creatures they get pretty gooey
There's no nudity. There's a couple of decent-looking chicks in it, but there's no nudity. There's not a ton of swearing. There's not a ton of what you would call overt horror movie violence. but it's still really good and The one thing this movie does that I think most movies these days don't do, and I don't even care if it's a horror movie, just most movies in general, this movie holds your attention from the very first minute to the very last minute.
Every single, you're just glued to it. You can't look away and that's something of an accomplishment, especially for a movie of 35 years old. Absolutely. So Tremors was picked by Bob for Amaphobia, which is the fear of sand. As you mentioned, Tremors came out in 1990. For those who don't know, the synopsis for this one is natives of a small, isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures.
which are killing them one by one. So, January marked the 35th anniversary of Tremor's US theatrical release, and despite receiving a lukewarm reception during its initial run in 1990,
This beloved horror comedy has definitely gained immense popularity once it was released on home video. Consequently, Tremors gave rise to a six-film franchise over the course of three decades following its And even back in 2018, our original stars of Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward were set to reprise their roles as Melantine McGee and Earl Bassett for a Sci-Fi Channel reboot of Tremors.
But the studio ultimately decided not to move forward with the pilot episode. Nevertheless, there still remains a wealth of interest and trivia surrounding the production of the initial... Film and I will say this like obviously like I was only three when this movie came out So the first time I saw tremors Was obviously on VHS. Thank you for that. Of course. But.
When this movie came out, this was really at a time when there was a lot of like fear-mongering about earthquakes in the United States, specifically on the West Coast. This was back when... There were a lot of, like, earthquake drills being done in schools, which often just included this annual day-long event aimed at preparing students and teachers for a major earthquake. And, you know, like, nowadays, like... You know, earthquakes have been a little bit more, uh, frequent.
Uh, but there was always like this big fear about like the quote big one, you know, an earthquake that was believed to be long overdue and capable of causing significant destruction, you know, it's always a meme of like California's gonna end up as its own fucking thing in the sea, right? And this was at a time when even at Universal Studios, they had an attraction that incorporated earthquake simulations into their tours. Complete with shaking ground, exploding cars...
During the 1980s, earthquakes were just a major topic of concern and discussion in California, so a lot of businesses and attractions were capitalizing on the public's fear and fascination with seismic activity. you know even like fast forward a bit to 1989 you know we had the loma prada earthquake uh which wasn't quite classified as a big one but it did leave a pretty last impression this was in october of 1989. But it is within this post-earthquake environment that Tremors really was released.
But despite the title, obviously, Trevors does not focus on earthquakes. Rather delves into the story of these giant carnivorous worms that terrorize the community.
Uh, but the title alone intrigued me as a kid, and, you know, it passed by the... you know the horror section at the video store this one always piqued my attention uh and i didn't really know like what what to expect i knew i was gonna get like a unique experience beyond just like our typical like monster movie uh affair and it's safe to say you know, all these years later, I have a deep appreciation for monsters. And... We have to admit, when it comes to monster movies, uh...
Most of them tend to be of poor quality. You know, while there are certainly some exceptional ones, they are often overshadowed by the abundance of subpar films. Part of that has to do with the sci-fi channel and the idea of we're gonna pull two different ideas from a hat, we're gonna have a senon, and we're gonna have a creature, and then we're just gonna combine the two, and then boom, there you go. Let's do the storyboard immediately. This is how they come up with the ideas But Tremors was...
Honestly, it was a good throwback to 1950s cinema when it comes to the monster movies, but it was also a very self-aware movie, too. This was pre-Scream, so a lot of films weren't really self-aware at that time, either. Well, no, so... Think about creature features in general and what it takes to to bring yourself to the stage with a new creature with something nobody's ever seen before um let's face it most of those movies are
a colossal flop. That's why if you see a new slasher movie, and I'm using the term new very loosely here, it's one of two things. It's a guy who's dressed either very theatrically, Or it's a big hulking guy that somehow has his face covered.
that's pretty much it and there's a reason for that you know what's the reason it was done before and it was done successfully that's why so bringing a new creature to the to the stage and saying okay this is what we're going to do and then At the same time, having so much fun with it and saying, well, okay, so it's going to be this weird underground worm and then we're going to talk about it a little bit and we're going to show it to you a little bit and we're going to not...
get too sciency but we're going to dive into its entomology a little bit and say you know hey these things have probably been around for several million years and they
They crawl underground with these little hairs on their bodies. And oh, by the way, they have four magic tongues and each have a snake on them. I mean, when you say it like that, it's like... but then you see this movie and you're like well god damn the people that did the effects in this creature they thought about this stuff and they did it really really well and then
Just take the simple fact in mind that all you have to do to be attacked is walk across the ground. That's all you have to do. And they take this small town of perfection where... Most of the people in this town, they seem like they're some pretty hardy folks, right? I mean, these are not people that are living the life of Riley. They're literally scraping by by the dust in their ass crack. And when you find out that The first person in the town and I think it was
I want to say it was Edgar, is like so petrified that he's up in a fucking radio tower with his Winchester rifle and he's not coming down. That tells you that you got something formidable to deal with, but... you know the movie also does a reasonable job of sort of pacing out the discovery you know not giving it to you too early and not giving it to you too late but then at the same time
here's the creature okay but then they sort of build it up over the movie where we learn a little bit more about it we got our seismologist who apparently is also biology, I don't know. There's some things in there that get stretched a little bit, but it's a horror movie, so yeah, it just kind of goes without saying. but it just keeps the whole thing interesting and you know to think about that
The story of a couple of guys that want to leave a, you know, a sort of dead town and go on to new things. That's not a new story, right? People have been writing stories about that since like the late 50s. Wanting to leave the town because there's some sort of killer subterranean worm on the loose? Well, that's new. That's new and that's fun.
Even given the fact that this movie is 35 years old, I mean, you watch it and the way the people are, a lot of how they react, a lot of the things that they do. It feels like you could have made this yesterday. And it's exactly what would happen. The story would go exactly as it goes here. you know for a movie of its vintage that's a it's a pretty profound thing and you know
The fact that if you look at this movie, it's... I wouldn't exactly call it star-studded for the time, but at the same time, there's a lot of people in here that everybody knows. I mean... Burt Ward and Kevin Bacon, obviously. Michael Gross, Reba McIntyre. In the 90s, everybody knew who Reba McIntyre was.
it carries on like just kind of i don't know like so hard like ariana richards for example i'm sure you know i'm sure you did the research and you know who that is but that's our wonderful lady from the original jurassic park um victor long who still his best movie prince of darkness hands down um but so there's a lot of noteworthy people in this movie and
It doesn't feel like a movie that should have anybody noteworthy in it. And then just the fact that it does is outstanding. And again, subterranean hyperspeed. crawling along by their weird hair things just i mean It's a weird premise. I'll admit that if I saw this on paper, I might just kind of go, nah. Nope.
but between the effects and the acting, it's so expertly pulled off that it just makes... This is a true horror gem from the years and the years in the anthology of horror. It's a true gem. So the idea for Tremors was conceived by the co-writer S.S. Wilson who was working in the California desert for the US Navy. And during a break on a large rock, Wilson envisioned what it would be like if an underground predator had forced him to remain there indefinitely.
And obviously, the influences for Tremors are pretty evident, primarily Frank Herbert's Dune. uh being the primary one uh you know both stories involve giant underground worms in the desert the characters evade by seeking refuge in a large rock formation I thought it was interesting though that before they settled on Travers, a couple of the other titles that were in consideration for the movie were Landshark.
And then Silence. I think Beneath Perfection was the other one, which of course uh was the name of the town uh but i will say like during the post-production phase of the movie universal was just outright saying like okay we need to enhance the film score to heighten the level of fear in the movie So we had Robert Folk come on pretty last minute to modify Ernest Truce's original score, which was considered to be too tame by the studio.
Uh, so in the final version of the film, like, we ended up getting kind of like a mixture of, like, this country-western type score, which was done by Truce. and folks with more intense compositions being utilized. But, you know, Truce definitely had the score that just set the tone for, you know, a lighter, more cheerful moments in the film. While folks work, it added more intensity to the more frightening action sequences that were displayed in. I know you were talking about the Raiden.
for the movie as well. Initially it did have an R-rate in front of the MPAA, not due to excessive violence but because of the extreme profanity in the movie. So, rather than reshooting scenes or rewriting dialogue, they used overdubbing techniques employed during post-production to navigate around the rating restriction. So the original version of the film contained
Uh, basically like 20 instances of strong language primarily spoken by Kevin Bacon. Uh, but in the final cut, Valentine's profanity was replaced with, you know, less explicit lies such as, we killed that mother humper. Well, I, and so, I mean, that probably is one of the best things, especially when you see, when, when this, after this movie came out and then you started seeing it on TV.
the whole mother humper thing it was one of those things where you couldn't remember if he actually said that or if that's what they just changed it to for tv and then so it became kind of a running joke Now, the most unbelievable part of the whole process of this movie is that the writer S.S. Wilson was doing something for the Navy in the middle of the fucking desert. Tell me that makes any goddamn sense.
It also explains to me how our government manages to spend so much fucking money on things and never get anything fucking done. It's like, let's do a Navy experiment in the middle of the fucking desert. Well, you know what you don't find in the middle of the deserts, Navy? Boats.
so yeah so i mean that is in and of itself kind of an interesting story and just like having to do these things and like he's the creative process is always something that's just it's weird to me because well i think mostly because maybe my mind doesn't think like that or at the very least i don't I don't write those things down when they happen. I mostly think, oh boy, that must have been early onset Alzheimer's. I'll try to forget about that, right?
I will admit that I think the title of beneath perfection would have been sweet now Would it have carried into six sequels? Probably not. You know, because it really couldn't have had Shrieker Island with the Perfection title in there. At the same time, I think about like... I think what you said earlier about the whole earthquake phenomenon and the overall fear, not unlike that of, oh, I don't know, tornadoes, was very true because when I was maybe 12 or 13,
Uh, and you are? Uh. Swim in the swim of the mighty salmon, let's just say. I was actually in San Francisco on a family trip, and we went through an earthquake, and it wasn't huge. It was like a 4.6 or a 4.7, but it was also one of the damnedest experiences I'd ever had in my life. When you live in Minnesota and people talk about earthquakes
I mean, it's the same as living on Earth and people are talking about the weather on Venus. I have no fucking idea and I don't care, right? It's the same thing. But having gone through one, it was like, oh. And then so when this came out, it was like, oh tremors and it's like you can see that with the trailer it's like the ground is shaking or whatever else it did give me a little bit of like yeah and but i think that's what drew me to it because this is this is
i didn't see nearly as many things in the theater when i was younger because it was definitely uh You know, only had a part-time job and had to save your allowance kind of thing. So you had to do it. Granted, back then, going to a movie cost like three bucks. So thanks, AMC. But so, I think this movie, it takes a strange stab at trying to incite fear because, I mean, FOR THE TIME.
We generally weren't fearing things that were coming out of the ground, right? We were, you know, it's the end of the 80s. We're full into the fucking slasher things. We're into things coming from space.
um and because that was all over the place you think critters you think uh night of the comet night of the creeps you know so Having something that was just, you know... hate to use the word but kind of simple something that was just it just happened to be there and for whatever reason somebody happened to piss it off and wake it up or do whatever else it was like well and okay that's
it's kind of inherently believable and at the same time it's like but it's not something where it's a it's a space monster either you know it's they label it prehistoric and it's like well Look at some snakes and some alligators and some crocodiles and some of the things that are in the ocean. A lot of those can be technically labeled prehistoric because they've been around in one form or another forever.
It makes it easier to digest and it takes away that, wait a minute, you tell me there's a 30 foot long worm under, you know, but it makes it digestible in terms of. you don't really have to turn your brain off for this movie there's i mean the things that the people do the panic that they feel you know the the steps that they take to try to protect themselves It's very much, you know, it's
It's the night of the living dead for underground worms. It all makes sense. In this case, being in the basement would have been a bad idea. The attic might have been the place to be, right? But still, it's part of what makes the movie so good is there's nothing here where you just gotta go, you fold your arms and go, no, I don't believe that. I just, I don't believe that could happen.
Even having little details such as having somebody who's a seismologist and is out doing something for a class and, you know. I mean, it's like, oh, you know, you're from the university. Well, okay, that makes total sense. If you've ever gone hiking in a state park and encountered some nerd in the forest doing some weird thing, and it's like...
Oh, I'm from the university. And maybe they're not. Maybe they're a serial killer. I just fell for that shit. But at the same time, it's like, it's totally believable. So, I mean, the movie is It's approachable on a bunch of different levels, and I don't think it's a movie just for horror people. I think sci-fi people would love it. I think thriller people would love it. I think action people would love it. It covers so many bases while still in my mind technically being a whore.
So, the creature designs of this initially for the Graboid monsters, I'll look at a couple of different concepts that were initiated. The original idea was to portray the Graboids with dry skin but have this glossy paint application which would give it a more lacquered appearance. The concept involved giving the Grat Boys an outer shell that they could retract to reveal a smaller, slimy inner worm when above ground.
Uh, but, obviously with that, uh, maybe some unattended phallic resemblance of that design led to a little bit too much laughter on the set, so I didn't go with that. Another idea was to allow the Graboids to mimic sounds accurately, a skill that they would use to lure unsuspecting victims. But of course, overall, the creative decisions made during post-production played a pretty crucial role in shaping the final version of Tremors and just enhancing its impact.
on the audience uh now what i will say is like the the sound effects in this movie uh especially with you know the grabboids were highly effective, and they saw a lot of reuse in multiple different films. Some of the movies that have incorporated those iconic sounds, effects included Mosquito, was also used in Starship Troopers, and I think most recently it was even in Khan's Skull Island, among some others.
Going back to when I first saw this, I remember I spent my allowance money for renting this movie. At the video store, because that's what I would do. I would use my money to rep movies, buy candy at the grocery store that was in the same shopping center. And, you know, as a kid, like, obviously, I didn't see a ton of monster movies.
But Tremors definitely was one that held the top spot for me. You know, one of my earlier memories, at least at the video store, was being introduced to Tremors. And the first time I saw this movie, like... I was initially frightened by this scene, especially with Val and Earl when they discover that severed head in the dirt. And I wanted to leave the room, but my dad insisted that we keep watching. And...
I'm so glad I ended up seeing this movie through because it really helped spark my interest in monster movies and seeing more out whenever I was at the video store. So... you know looking back like this movie you know we're talking 35 years tremors has aged remarkably well compared to a lot of other movies that we have covered here uh even recently you know the practical effects they use to create the massive sandworm
Still impressive even after 35 years, especially when viewed in high definition. And if you're someone who has 4K, I would definitely recommend picking up the Aero 4K version of the film. uh but this is just something that just across the board has impressive visuals you know this As I mentioned, it predates the self-aware horror genre that would spawn a little bit later. It's a good throwback to the 1950s monster movies.
So, Drummer's not only acknowledges the absurdity of its own premise, but it explores how individuals would realistically respond to such a catastrophic event and in-depth to that storyline. And we saw the success leading to all of these sequels being greenlit. They're still being produced today despite... Uh, you know, maybe some decline in the overall quality of the films in this franchise. We had a television series based off of it.
So there's been a pretty keen understanding of potential for this franchise and merchandise tie-ins as well. well in all fairness I mean this movie does come from a time when If your movie made 2x its budget, it would get a sequel, right? And now we live in a day where you've got to make 20x your budget to get a sequel. At the same time, though, with... What is basically a single setting, because it's the fucking desert.
and so many spots in this movie where you can tell they did something and The sand blew up and it got in everybody's faces and everyone's eyes, but everybody just went with it and used it. As opposed to, you know, oh, cut, cut, cut, let's race. Because there's a lot of scenes in this movie where you can see that things didn't go exactly as they were planned. And to your point about this super, super dry environment and not having to have a...
a killer worm that basically had a foreskin, because that was fucking weird. It was... It was super well done. I mean even up to including the one that they like the first one that they killed and then that they dug up. You know, that was just a huge foam worm that they made, painted, and then they went out in the desert and they buried the fucking thing for a while and then had those guys actually dig it up.
so that that's so much lens to just the shot and the visual and how it actually looks because there's no part of you that would believe that that thing wasn't at one point moving you know hit that wall going probably 40 miles an hour underground and just you know got its own cupcake mushed um so all the visuals for all the movies that you see that take place like the desert the one that i think that uh like really holds a candle to this one or at least
I get a vibe from it in terms of the sand and and using it is probably Raiders of the Lost Ark and I would almost dare I say that this movie used the sand more to its benefit than Raiders of the Lost Ark did. Because there wasn't a single scene in this movie where there wasn't sand. And it doesn't matter if it was in Burt's basement when he was shooting through the wall with his elephant gun or they're under Chang's store and the boardwalk's getting blown up by the worm.
everything is dry dusty as shit and it's it is one of those things where it's like i i almost wonder how much of how much of it's because it had like what it had a seven to ten million dollar budget i wonder how much of that budget went to visine just so people could see at the end of the day you know um So it's pretty impressive that you could work in such a harsh environment like that, but still pull things off so well visually. And this is also a movie where even though you have...
Not a huge cast. You still have a fairly diverse cast, and... You still have some people that you like and some people that you hate. You have the dipshit teenager. You have the small kid who's trying to break a a world record on her pogo stick you have the mom who's just an artist why she's living there i have no idea um you know and you have our we have our preppers you know i mean so Diversity and cast. For 1990, this was a diverse cast. Now, I know what people are going to say.
Yes, I understand. Okay, you don't need to hit us with it. I get it. But for 1990, had a very diverse cast, but... Even though we had, let's call it, there was a shitload of white people in it, there was a shitload of very different white people.
um you know from just kind of our our handymen guys to our preppers to our artist lady so it was very representative of like a populace but all in this very very tiny town um and it's one of the things that just makes this movie so fun because i mean there's a there's a point where the one lady is like i still need you guys to come over and build my new kiln and they're like well well
you know well nope nope we're not gonna do it and it's like she's like i'll throw in this and and beer and then you know as they're as they're driving around town they're like god damn like we face temptation and beat the devil and it's like
rebeer with the temptation like really but it tells you something about the small town and i mean all things being equal i don't think i would hate living in perfection i don't think i'd hate it except for the dust uh so even looking at you know some of the sequels you know in tremors 2 we saw
Characters featured in Graboid's themed arcade games, even we're starring in a Nike commercial. By Tremors 3, we had the town of perfection being transformed into a tourist hotspot, with Walter Train's store selling Graboid's memorabilia. So it's like this sort of progression that highlights how quickly these unique concepts can become commercialized. Normalize and eventually... Forgotten, but of course the original film laid the foundation for that evolution
with its portrayal of our blue-collar protagonists seeking quick riches. You know, when Val and Earl stumble upon a graboid and sell it to Walter Jane for a mere $15, man, what a steal there. They did barter a little bit. But the stage is set for the commercialization of the creatures. It's that theme of exploitation and commercialization that is further explored in the sequels, which is, you know, paints a picture of this once-deriving attraction now in its decline.
But either way, Tremors captured the essence of how novelty can quickly become mundane in the face of commercial interests, and it really serves as this cautionary tale of... the fleeting nature of fame and success even in the world of monster movies. Well, it does talk about a little bit that self-awareness you talked about, though, too, where if you had something of this scale happen where people in a small town are cut off and they're chased by...
what people are assuming are some sort of extraterrestrial thing, and they defeat it, no one's just going to go back to their normal life. They're going to call in the authorities, the government's going to show up, and to your point, People are going to commercialize this. And so, I mean, you know, if we would have gotten to
Friday the 13th Part 3 and somebody went into, you know, when Shelly went into the gas station there and if he was playing the Jason Voorhees video game, it would have totally spoiled the whole thing. Because that movie... say what you want about those i love those they're not self-aware not even a little bit and this movie knows exactly what it is and exactly what it's doing and
That simple part of bartering, you know, for basically the tongue chunk of the graboid. I mean, that tells you what this town is about. It's about surviving. It's about... just getting to the next day. And for a lot of those people, 15 bucks makes a difference between today and tomorrow. absolutely so drummers does a great job of transcending being you know just a clever gimmick with good effects you know this is a monster movie that flawlessly executes
Almost every aspect of it. You know, the pacing is impeccable. You know, we have this gradual build-up to the reveal of the monsters. While the script remains consistently clever, even when you remove the veil of nostalgia when it comes to this movie, it still stands out as a film that doesn't have many flaws in it. and you know for me as a moviegoer like i'm always searching for those films that
fit the bill of what I would consider to be, you know, like, fun horror to serve as recommendations to ease friends into the genre. And Tremors, to me, has always been the... epitome of enjoyable horror the only other movie that i really like fit like also fit that bill for me is night of the creeps these are my two gateway movies that i constantly recommend to people because i know At face value, there is going to be a deep appreciation for everyone that I show it to.
Well, not everybody wants to watch The Exorcist, right? Not everybody wants to get into If we're honest here and we talk about the best of the best of horror, The vast majority of them are not going to be comedies. They're not going to have a comedic element. They are the ones that make people like us feel the way
at least for a small amount of time, want to feel. We want to feel dark and black and hopeless. That's what horror, I think, is supposed to do. Now when we got into, I will call it the early 80s, and we started... in a serious sense started mixing in comedy we had a lot of movies that
like, didn't do a good job. I know we had some movies that went, like, super over the top on the comedy, like Return to Horror High or Student Bodies, when they went so over the top that it wasn't a horror comedy, it was a comedy horror, right? so i think you could safely without offending too many people call tremors a horror comedy because it does have enough that is
is sleight of hand funny. It's not people trying to go out of their way to be funny. It's more reactionary, more human response funny than it is anything else. At the same time though, When you're running for your goddamn life in the desert, you know, when you stop at a sheep farm and all the sheep are dead and you're looking for old Fred and you're walking through the desert going, hey there, old Fred.
and you find his hat and then his head is underneath the hat and clearly been severed okay that's not funny that's not even a little bit funny but them freaking out. And there's something about between Earl and Val's collective freakout.
that to this day are fucking hilarious to me just those two is interactions when they're trying to decide what to do and they ultimately almost always make the wrong decision anyway so it's like they don't have three brain cells between them but that feels so appropriately small town and it goes back to that you know let's just survive and ultimately if there's anything that these two yahoos are good at it's surviving they always figure out a way and whether it's
you know, tomorrow's beer and beans or it's running from our lives from the not from space worms. I mean, they do it. And I think you're right about that.
like it could be a good entry-level horror movie for people because you can sit back and you can be and i've talked about this before there are times that you and i are watching movies down here and my wife comes in and goes what are you watching and appears on the screen and goes oh my god then just leaves the room okay that's not going to happen during this movie it's not there's not going to be a moment where someone's just going to go oh jesus christ and just walk out um
There are some times I think some people could be scared. Some people could get a little bit like, ooh, there's some blood or whatever. But there's not... a scene in this movie that the average person is just going to be driven away from and i think that's another piece what makes this movie so brilliant is that you could realistically walk into this movie 10 15 20 minutes into it
get a pretty good idea still of what's going on and then be interested enough to sit down and watch it and that i think is maybe the hardest sell of any movie usually it's like you've missed the beginning you don't know what's going on but again this movie is so self-aware and it It has a way of kind of... Constantly telling you what's happening.
And it's, it isn't the most subtle thing in the world, but it's also, they don't slap you in the face with it either, so you're like, like you're a moron and you can't pay attention, so. There's these small and subtle things where they do to sort of catch you up as you're going just in case you miss something. And still, it could be insulting and offensive. When movies pretend that I'm dumb, I generally don't like that.
This movie doesn't pretend that you're dumb. It pretends that you just walked in. And you need what it's going to give you a little bit. And again, it's a part of what makes it great. Yeah, drummers doesn't really, like, intelligently avoid- Like, it doesn't over-explain no- it's monsters so it still leaves us as an audience like enough to speculate about like the origins of the graboids uh so there's enough intrigue throughout like the sequels uh to just add more complexity
uh you know are monsters in this and you know if you're listening to this probably already have an opinion on on tremors as i said like i would highly recommend picking up the arrow 4k if you haven't already because that transfer does enhance the visuals and the sound quality obviously with these releases you know we're getting like the best iterations of these movies uh you know that are available
And despite the films like special effects being prominently displayed in broad daylight, they still stand the test of time. And I remember when I picked up the... The combo pack!
uh you know it just had like an abundance of special features you know there was like a booklet that came with like a double-sided poster lobby cards they even had like a uh like a mock coupon for trains And one of the things I thought was funny, going back, I remember as a kid, the version of the movie that I saw the most was one that I had recorded on a VHS tape from network television.
And in that version, obviously it was edited for TV, resulting in, you know, the replacement of curse words, instances of taking the Lord's name in vain with more, you know, family-friendly language. It was a really awkward overdub, but I definitely developed this peculiar fondness for that. And on the air release, there was a segment that showcased the original footage alongside the Network TV overdubs.
I can't remember the name of the segment itself, but... you know while phrases like full juice stood out like there was one that one of the more like I'm using once I thought it was like there was a quote I was just like you gotta be brainwashing me Well, I mean, you know, coming into this movie, and let's call it Spade a Spade here, one of the reasons I watched this was because Kevin Bacon was in it, right? And this is after he was in a Friday the 13th movie. Um...
He obviously did Footloose. He was the bastard cab stealer in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. And then he was in Flatliners, so I mean... He was both kind of coming into his own as a star, but also proving himself as an actor that liked to act. and would give himself wholly to whatever role he was playing and and that's the thing i think he still does to today i think he just he just gives himself up wholly and if he wants
If he reads the script and he wants the role, he does the role. I mean, he's Kevin Bacon. He has nothing to prove. Now, I think in 1990, after Footloose, I would argue that he didn't have anything to prove. I mean, Footloose is still a fantastic goddamn movie, right?
The thing about his role as Val is he spends every single second of the movie owning it and also trying to convince you that val might be the most inbred redneck sexist illiterate undereducated person that you've ever seen in your entire life but i'll tell you what if your car breaks down give him five minutes and the son of a bitch will be running again you know and
But that I think as a society is something that we don't value anymore. I mean, and yeah, I mean, would you want to travel into the hills of Tennessee and meet Val? Probably not. Because probably have a banjo too and you know from deliverance we know how that went um at the same time though he's just And it's not machismo either. It isn't machismo he has. He's just
He's just a simple, pure, honest guy. That's what he is. Does he have some thoughts and some feelings about certain things in the world that might be a little, maybe not kosher in today's standards? Yes, he absolutely does, including his love for a certain centerfold. But at the same time, I think we all went through a time where we had a love for a centerfold.
human and approachable, realistic person, right? And when it comes to Earl, I mean, I hate to say it, for me earl always reminded me of my dad so i mean for me it was you know this movie was just like Well, okay, and... one is the is val almost comes off as like the prepubescent teenager almost teenager guy and earl is the guy who's trying to teach him how to you know
the ways of the world and maybe be a little bit less of a dickhead just and i'm using dickhead the kindest terms you just when you're a teenager when you're a teenager you're a dickhead just by existing that's just how it is um but watching these two like work together and how they
at the right moments they're pitted against each other and at the right moments they're each other's like best compatriot it's like i mean it's I don't often say this in a horror movie, but with those two, it's such a special relationship that these two have.
and i think in the end they both honestly want nothing but the best for each other but these they're still two balls locking horns at certain times and it's just it's just one more thing that makes it so much like life and just so much fun to watch Yeah, it's one of those scenes, like, when it comes to times of crises, it's like, well, who are we going to rely on? You know, it's not every day that the best option...
Comes down to essentially like two handymen in this case between between these two you know and it's like despite you know their own dissatisfaction with you know their lives they're the ones that have to handle the crisis at hand and you know it does help like that our protagonists are resourceful individuals of course aided by our knowledgeable grad students you know pair of survivalists as well uh and you know this movie clocks in at like 98 minutes
And it maintains a fast pace without delving too deeply into the origins of the Graboids. So the focus is primarily just remaining on the immediate danger. pose by the worms. And one of the things I really appreciate about Tremors is that any attempts by characters to question the nature of these monsters are swiftly dismissed by Val. There's an emphasis on the importance of survival over curiosity.
And this is just a thrilling, action-packed film. It's one that showcases the resilience and ingenuity of characters in the face of a terrifying threat. And in times of crisis, there really is no room for pondering the origins of the situation. The focus is on the survival and helping others. The details of where the monsters came from or why the earthquake occurred in the first place are completely irrelevant when lives are at stake.
Well, and you could say, I think you could argue that That argument, up until they meet Rhonda and figure out who Rhonda is, that argument makes a ton of sense because nobody in that town is even remotely smart enough to figure it out, right? But to your point, The top billing when the credits roll in this movie, the first character should be Peril and played by Peril. Because that's what this movie, well that's what the movie does though, the whole movie.
you do as a watcher feel like you are running from something the whole entire movie and that probably is like the pinnacle of what makes it good is that you feel like you're standing right next to them and going fuck what do we do now like When Val and Earl had it and they're packing up and they're putting stuff in the truck, there's a part of me that goes, hey, you're both guys. Why did you grab the vacuum? Neither one of us needs that. We don't need that.
At the same time, you know, once we meet Rhonda and they're both like, they literally kind of rock, paper, scissors for the opportunity. That also feels like what a couple of dumbasses would do, right? so once we once we meet rhonda and once she does give us a little bit of an explanation as to what these things are generally speaking in most movies when you get that little bit of an exposition and you're like oh so this is what is happening
Normally it takes some of that peril and it alleviates some of it. You feel a little bit better. But in this case, when you find out, oh, they've been here forever, They might be other places. Guess what? Peril's second cousin, what the fuck, just came to town. And now it's a Broadway show. And now you're even more like, oh, crap. So, I mean, again, it's the self-awareness of the movie, and honestly, a lot of it is the self-awareness of the writing.
Having the story build upon itself, give you details, give you new characters, give you lots of characters' deaths, And it never takes away from this core survival thing. It feeds you other things, but the whole thing is we need to get the hell out of here. and you know between the road being blocked and it's like oh let's try for the horses but oh no the grand boys got the horses i mean and you know it's not quite
It's not quite horror lore where you don't kill kids and you don't kill dogs. Horses have got to be on that list somewhere. So when you see a horse go down, it's like, yep, I'm watching a horror movie. And just i don't know it just it keeps going at such a pace where it's one of the rare movies where it doesn't ever give you really time to catch your breath it just you're going from one super stressful situation to the next And four.
The little bit of moments where they do give you those tiny sprinkles of exposition that are supposed to be. Sort of a pace settler. and they're supposed to it never does that that every little bit of exposition you get just makes it worse and it's like well okay let's go and you know let's go out and let's meet the preppers and see what the preppers are doing oh let's go talk to the artist lady uh with her kid who's on her pogo stick and see what she's doing and it's like
Every little thing in this movie does something to amp up the pace. And it's kind of impressive for a movie of its age. And like you said, this movie has aged so well because there's always Out in the street in front of your house, there's always some little kid doing something stupid. And there's always some teenage kid doing something even stupider. And everyone in this movie feels like your neighborhood. Like you know all these people, right? Including the guy that owns the corner store.
so you can't in your head you can't escape feeling like you're connected to this movie Another thing I really like too is our grabboids in this too. They're not stupid at one point, like we even have them creating a sinkhole trap to disable the track loader. So everyone that's left at this point just has a flee to these boulders. uh for safety so like there there there is a bit of trickery involved with this both from the creature perspective and also like are humans trying to outsmart them as
As well, because when we get towards the end of the movie, a lot of the explosions and pipe bombs come into play. We're trying to figure out, okay, well... i'm ready to get rid of like the last one and of course you know it's it's a little like trope heavy in the in the third act which is fine uh but i i just love the thought of okay we have uh We have a bomb behind it. We're going to try to scare this worm towards the edge of this cliff.
And of course, you know, it's kind of just like the... Alright, this is our last run into the sunset moment with our last worm. It's just... It's such a feel-good moment in this movie, just seeing it plummet to its death to the rocks below. oh yeah and kevin bacon is leaning over side saying can you fly you sucker i mean it's and it's so you're right it is the third act of this movie is It is the Bob Ross of horror movie paintings. It is
Broppy as hell. It is everything that you would expect. It's the, hey, we have resources. Whoops, we blow them all up. Hey, we have a resource. Whoops, it fell in a hole and we can't use it anymore. We had some resources. Whoops, we spilled them all, and now we have no more water. So, I mean, it really is. But... But I think within this movie and the context of what they've showed us up until this point, it honestly kind of all makes sense. It's like we still have
As we have Val and Earl encounter people through this movie, and we've really got two moments of everybody being together. We have that general store, and we saw kind of how that worked. and then we have everyone getting on the on the bulldozer and with that big long trailer and pulling out through the desert and People, like a person, a person can be really smart, right?
People in a group are collectively morons. And so that's what happens. It actually makes sense that despite the fact that you kind of go into this like, okay, we're prepared. We've got... we've got bert's homemade explosives and his what was it his eight gauge elephant gun that they That was such a hard gun to find they had to rent it from somebody locally. It was just ridiculous. But as you get into it, it's one of those things where Instead of the typical horror movie trope where we show
People sort of pissing the resources away on the unimportant moments. They just take them all away in one fell swoop. Just boom. It's just gone. Here you go. Now what are you going to do? And it's one of the things I sort of like about the movie because You can... The... The blowing up of the bombs to me was the Night of the Living Dead gas pump scene. That's what that was.
um and it's like okay here was our one escape resource and now we just nuked the whole fucking thing so now what do we do but much like that movie our our heroes and heroines didn't give up you know um and The fact that Our pal Val, despite everybody going, everyone's whispering.
Use the bomb! Use the bomb! Throw the bomb! Chuck the bomb! Do something with the fucking bomb! Everyone is just nagging the piss out of him. He has a plan. And... good bad or otherwise he's got it and he's gonna stick to it and then now granted The one time in the movie where I just kind of like folded my arms and went, you didn't have to tell me. I got it. But he's like, you know, I just thought, well, you know, Stampede. And it's like, okay, perfect, great.
Okay, thank you. That was the one spoon-fed piece of just right in your face just to, you know, here comes the airplane and and then it's fucking it's pureed carrots and it tastes like shit. You're like, ugh. And then you're scarred for life and whatever else. So it was that one moment, but it was still, if nothing else, it was still kind of funny. You sort of have to let it go. And watching the last grabbo, I just go... And even today, the splatter on the rocks at the bottom...
It still holds up as Fairly gross. extremely satisfying and like because this movie did such a good job of making you feel like you were standing next to this people going what are we gonna do next it feels like victory um and and so getting to the end of this movie you know and Especially, you know, watching Val pull all of his pictures of his centerfold off of his rear visor and, you know, cram him in the glove box or whatever he does.
we still got a couple of guys that are you break them right down and with what's left of the townsfolk everyone is still just like okay we have to keep surviving you know and for valets You know, he's going to continue to survive in the warm, loving embrace of a geology student in her cute little purple underwear. And, you know, Bert will do what Bert does.
everyone's going to do what they're going to do, but at least we have one of our main characters, Val, who maybe has something new to chase versus this dream that will never actually happen. Absolutely, so Tremor is 35 years old at this point, still... One fucking fun movie, man. I never get tired of this movie, so Bob, thank you so much for picking this one. And I know we have... One more phobia to cover for the month, and our last one comes from Kasseri, who is doing claustrophobia.
Now, this is a phobia that we have covered prior, so I will link our other episodes that we did. The movie that he selected was one that I know we had on shortlist at the time, and we ended up not doing it, so it's good to circle back to this one. As much as I know, it's going to make me uncomfortable. Because this is probably the second one on my list when it comes to this phobia. But...
Tuesday night, which I think it'll be Tuesday when this episode drops. So Tuesday, 7.30pm Pacific Time, we'll be watching Buried, which came out in 2010. Which is, uh, I'm not gonna say a fun movie. It is a very tense movie. I've seen it one time. And I have not rewatched it. Same here. And it is going to be the movie where the entirety of the episode will record us is going to be you and I.
Sigh in back and forth until one of us cries. That's what it's gonna be and that's why we'll stop because of this movie make that It's kind of like when we watched Fall, and the first time I saw Fall, I had no idea that I had a fair of heights. And I had been up in tall buildings, I had been... So that one cemented it. This movie... and like i think i told you before i've been stuck in an elevator for hours before okay i was uncomfortable i was not afraid okay
Seen. Buried? Yeah. So. It's not going to be fun to talk about because I'm going to be wildly uncomfortable the entire time. The only thing I think about I hate to say this, I think about early zombies and voodoo and things like that, where people were buried, but they weren't dead, and then they were dug up later to be used as servants. This movie takes all of that and coalesces it into this little bright ball of fear. Then someone took that ball of hair and shoved it up my ass
You know, if it was Saturday night, that'd be great. I would be just down to party. But it's not Saturday, it's Tuesday. And I have to go to work in the morning, goddammit. So I'm not going to enjoy this at all. But I will do my damnedest as a semi-grown man to get through it. I'm not. It's the... I've seen... Probably 30,000 horror movies in my life. Honestly, probably 30,000.
it's in the top ten of things that make me the most fucking uncomfortable. Physically uncomfortable. This one does that. So, thanks, Cass, and go fuck yourself. Alright, I'm all friends with what you just said. He'll definitely be hearing from it. From me. Tomorrow, for sure, when we watch this. And probably even after that, as we're recording, and after recording, and probably the rest of the week. But anyway, so we have that to look forward to, and I know...
I know the only way for us to move on is to have a movie that I know you're probably gonna fucking hate even more on Thursday. Oh no. Well, Tuesday night, Big Freakin' Rat comes out on Video On Demand, which, of course, RVs love Creepozoids, and we always have this runnin' gag of giant rats in movies. Oh, yes. Yes. Jesus. Well, it's kind of like sitting down for a family portrait. I'll smile, but I'm not going to like it. Okay. So, fine.
There's nothing else that came out in the last week that you're like, Um, alright, whatever. I'm, I... I'd argue, but it'd be like I'd argue with my wife. I already said practice with that, but that was planned. So I'm just reminding everyone that it is on the horizon that comes out on Tuesday. um that being said you know we have been grabbing quite a few other recent releases so
At least moving forward, we're starting to have more options instead of being relegated to a few here and there. What else was I going to say? Oh. Other than that, of course, not really a whole lot coming out in theaters this week. I know there's that new Nicolas Cage movie, The Surfer, which technically isn't horror, it's more thriller. Um, I want to say, is that in Australia?
it looks like it yeah like on a private beach where he grew up as a kid and then he comes back and the surfer the surf nazis the surf nazis must die I'm pretty sure I've seen this before. I just didn't have Nicolas Cage in it. One of the few Nic Cage movies where I'm like, I'll probably end up seeing it and Sinners both on Friday since I do have that day off. Well, if you have to choose, if something happens... If I have to choose, I know what I will say.
If you break a leg and it's a compound fracture and you only have two hours before you die, pick sinners, okay? Don't pick the surfer. I mean, put a bandage on it. You know, something. Yeah, pick Sinners. Sinners is that one movie from the year so far where A, I'm amazed you haven't seen it yet. I'm honestly just amazed. Well, I mean, it was because I was on the case.
Well, no, I'm not judging your life. I'm just saying I'm amazed that you haven't seen it. But I really want to hear your feedback because In my head, it's only April. In my head, Sinners is going to be in probably the top... three for the year um and i don't it's it's on top of my list right now i don't see it i don't i almost i can't see what movie would beat it now if If 28 years floors me and i don't think it's going to but if it floors me okay so maybe that'll be up there um
There's been a couple of other movies. Parvulos was really good. I don't know if you've seen Uncontained yet. Have you seen that? Not yet. It's on the list. Okay, so that one was, again, low-budgety, but... My buddies over at the Joe Blow Horror Show actually got the director of that movie who also stars in it and most of his family stars in it. come on their show and they had probably one of the most kind of fun and like not super What sort I'm looking for?
It was not one of those conversations where if you're not someone who understands the process of movies where you'd just be bored shitless, you know? It was such a good conversation that Cole and Travis had with him. But then talking about just the making of the movie and how they got it done and things like that. Uncontained is that stand out for the year as well
Sinners is the bar so far. So I'm sitting here right now like, why aren't you going out to watch it right now so you can tell me two hours from now what you think about it because it's that fucking good. Yeah, Jim was saying the same thing to me. Oh, good to hear. For him, he said it was the most surprised he's been by any movie in recent since, like, well, the last Top Gun Maverick really surprised him, too, with how good that was.
Really? Okay, that's it. And they did the same thing to me. So I'm glad that there's a there's a wavelength of quality out there for because I mean, Because the Minecraft movie made like $500 million. And come on. I mean, that is a movie that is made for children and, well, morons. But still, it made a lot of money. Sinners is a good movie. It's a good movie. it tackles a couple of difficult topics that exist and are current today.
But it also tackles some of those from a different perspective that I've never really seen before. So it makes it just... Just mind-blowing. Like I said, again, Parvulos. I don't know when that's going to end up on VOD. I hope it's soon because damn, that was a good movie. but i look at the horizon and while there's you know there's there's a lot to be to be had i don't see anything really that i see as the
The next Grand Slam. Now, you know, that said, you know, last year, A Quiet Place Day 1, you and I were both like, fuck that movie. And then, oops. So anything can happen, right? I mean, literally anything can happen. I'm really hoping 28 years later is just dynamite. I'm realistic enough to think that I don't think it's going to be. But I have high hopes. And I also hope that Final Destination Bloodlines just surprises the hell out of me too. And it's just...
i'm hoping it gets it captures a little bit of that Sort of 90s, early 2000s horror vibe. The couple of trailers that I've seen, it sort of does, but is that going to be the whole movie? It's hard to know. Are they going to, you know... do something drag somebody up or it just uh yeah i just you know i don't know it's Oh, one other thing before I go. I did have a really fun conversation with some coworkers today. Okay. Because we had this whole...
Minnesota's going to stop existing because of tornadoes. Things going on today. We started talking about Twister versus Twisters. And my friend Schmitty said he felt, and I quote, bamboozled by Twisters because he was hoping for kind of an action movie and he got sold a rom-com. We all kind of agree with that. And then what we decided is that we should do the actual part two of that.
But it should be more of a Weekend at Bernie's thing where Helen Hunt's character, Joe, goes and digs up Bill Paxton and then drags his corpse along to do tornado hunting. We thought that would be a fantastic movie. Even if you had to do it with like marionettes and strings and things, but sort of just, you know, Twister meets Weekend of Bernie's meets Night of the Living Dead, we thought it'd be really fun. So, Hollywood, I'll write the script, okay? I've got it half written in my head already.
Thank you. All right then. So Trevor and Schmitty, thank you for the great idea. I'm going to capitalize and take all the money. You will get no credit. But you both work in the corporate world, so you know how that works. But it's a great idea. Alright on. Uh, so with that being said, guys, again, join us Tuesday night in the Discord for our next watch party, 7.30 Pacific Time. Uh, for Barry, join us in our misery, as we are very uncomfortable.

If you want to see if this B-horror movie that got shelved for basically five years, or if you just want to join in on the meme-ery, we will be watching Big Freakin' Rat on Thursday, also at the same time. Ah, but... Our period episode will be dropping Wednesday night. But for now, guys, that will do it for us here tonight.
