Transcript

You never know when a shark can happen. Padded Room Radio is back on the air, you motherfuckers. My name is Darian. I am doing well, I think. Maybe not. Now that I think about it, probably not so well as I should. But I'm all right, and I'm here for another week, you fucking assholes. My main man Dusty is here. Hello, hello. He's back. What's up, big fella?

Nothing much. Just busy, busy with children's sports and whatnot. Oh, tell me about it. Tell me about it, man. My iPod just died. All right, well, fuck that anyway. Tell me about it, dude. What are you doing? What do you got? Volleyball? Two teams of volleyball, a school team and a travel team. So it's every night there's something going on. Yeah, I feel you there. Not much for...

D-man's time. Yeah. This D-man. No, I get that. I get that. There's nothing, dude. That's my whole life right now. Daphne's flag football team, Deacon's flag football team, and now I've got a run coming up. I'm going to fucking Disneyland in a couple of weeks for a half marathon. So that's it, dude. So you're just going to go to run and not ride the small world? Well, I'm going to have to ride the small world, obviously. But back and forth to the sports dome all day.

that's my whole weekend right there that's about it Friday night practice Saturday running, Sunday two games, usually at least four or five hours apart because God forbid they make any fucking thing convenient over there, Dusty. No, that's why you do that on purpose. You sit there and you spend all your money on their food and booze.

Which is actually pretty good, food and booze, for being a sports dome. Right. They thought that place out very well. They did, and they're taking me to the bank. Buddy is also here. What's up, big fella? Oh, not much. Since you're going to Disneyland, I don't know if it's closed yet.

but you know that dinosaur section for the kids? I think so, yeah. They're taking that away and they're going to put Indiana Jones in that area. Oh, very cool. All right. I don't know if it's closed yet, but if you happen to go there...

You better enjoy it while you can. I'm just hoping it's not on fire at this point is the main thing. That is true. Because I don't want to go there if it's all burned up. Where are the kids going to be pissed if they get down there and it's just a smoking wreck? Oh, good Lord. I'll never hear the end of that. That'll be a trip to therapy later in life. No kidding. Gentlemen.

I have made yet another tactical error. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Did we just saunter into the Spice House by accident? No, no, no, no. This involved a trip to urgent care. Oh, boy. We are scholars of horror. Are we not? I feel that we are. We're learned gentlemen in all things where there are certain rules that you apply to everyday life, right? If you're about to get a blowjob in the woods and you hear a weird sound. Zip it up.

You don't go check out the sound. You finish. You finish. No, no, no. You zip it up and you run. Dusty, I don't like where your head's at. I'm a survivalist, buddy. Or do you poke it with a stick? Now, if you find a dead guy, you poke it with a stick, correct? Right. Now, there is one thing you do not do ever in a horror movie, and I broke that rule. Investigating a sound? No. I'll be right back. No.

You do not chop carrots. You don't chop carrots, John. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because you will chop a finger off, which is... Oh, man. I took just the tip. Right there. It wasn't carrots. So you're... Oh, what was it? It was potato. Your ring finger has been circumcised. My bowling fingers are going to be on ice for a while. Yeah, dude, I took a... Look at that. Holy smokes. You can't see it. I actually got a picture of it on my phone, but I took...

I got lucky I didn't take the bone off, but I got the whole tip. Damn. Yeah, just like that. How did they fix that? They don't... They just let it heal back? It's just done, yeah. I'm just not going to have that. You're going to have a mongoloid, toxic Avenger-looking finger? Yes and no. The nice lady at the urgent care said that it will probably grow back. Probably. Probably. But it's not going to look the same. That's not your...

Wife pleasing finger, is that? No, I'm a righty. Good, good. I'm a right-hander. I'm a right-hander. That's the left. That's the wedding ring finger. Honey, I lost a little off the top. So, honey. Some good news and bad news. Bad news. I'm not the man I used to be. Dude, I sliced that fucker clean through, and I got a good chunk of my thumb, too. Gee, many crisps. That's been a pretty sharp knife, then, huh? Well, no, I was cutting sweet potatoes. Those things are like rocks, baby.

Basically. So you've got to fucking put some. Oh, okay. And I just had my finger under there and shwack. There she goes. And then I. First, I'm like, oh, shit, I cut myself. So first thing you do, stick your finger in your mouth. You're like, honey, get a Band-Aid. My wife's like, oh, my God, what did you do this time? And then I go back there and I'm like, you know.

going to finish with the thing while she's bitten. There's my fingertip there on the cutting board. Oh, damn! Did it make it into the stew? No, it didn't. How about afterwards? I did my due diligence and I chase the kids around with it for a while. As you should. As you would do, right? And then eventually, mommy made me throw it away, so. You should have took it to the ER with you in a little jar and said, can you put this on, please? Look, it just goes right there. See that?

It's almost like a puzzle. You just put it together. Throw some super glue on that bad boy and you're gone. Good to go. Worst case, put it in a little mason jar. It was gross, dude. It turned like bone white. Oh, my God. Yeah, it was really gross. And it had a good chunk of the fingernail on it, too. Yeah, my wife is having nightmares about it. Did you get down to the bone? I don't think so. They x-rayed me at the ER. They said I missed the bone. Otherwise, they'd have to carterize it.

Yeah, but that fucking thing came clean off, dude. It's nasty. I'll show you pictures during the break. All right. If you want to see them. They don't look good. I'll tell you that. I love looking at car accidents. Yeah. Dismembered fingers. Dismembered fingers. Well... Hopefully they're not mine. Yes, hopefully not. We got the usual shit show to get to here, gentlemen. We got horror news, listener mail, all the usual fun stuff. I say we kick it off with a little horror news.

Horror news. Dusty, what do you got? Anything? Yeah, let me pull it up here. So first thing I got was the Wolfman comes out this Friday. Correct. The reactions from the initial screening from the critics have been praise. of the Scary Intense Reboot. Okay. People are giving it good first impressions. I don't think they're allowed to do a score type review yet, but they're giving it good first impressions on their, you know.

Journalist Twitter feeds or whatever it is, right? Sure, sure. So one of the reviewers was basically saying, in Wolfman, and called it scary, heartwarming, and he further stated, the prosthetics are insane, the acting is great, but the amount of times I had to close my eyes in fear, disgust, is what stuck with me leaving the theater. Alrighty then. So this is not a very, I don't think he's talking.

our level. No, no, yeah, no. Four year old. Yeah. Clearly he's never cut a finger off chopping. Exactly. What's going to scare you after that, right? This other reviewer, Tessa Smith from Rotten Tomatoes, emphasized the emotional aspect of the movie. She wrote, Wolfman is not just terrifying, it packs an emotional punch. I found myself jumping out of my skin and then shedding some tears. The acting is top.

notch nice good anyway i'm excited the wife and i are gonna go see it on friday i already have our tickets ready very cool right on so next story i had was The Pooniverse. Oh, here we go. All right. So they're going to create a whole Avengers-type situation going here with these guys. And the creator says, Evil Mary Poppins and Mad Hatter. will be featured in the Pooniverse Monsters Assemble movie.

I'd like to see the Mad Hatter one. I think that would be great. Whatever, man. Whatever. Poodle vs. Monsters Assemble is an upcoming horror crossover movie set in the same world titled... The Twisted Childhood Universe. So I guess they're ditching the Pooh-niverse. I'm glad. Let's get away from Pooh. Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey 1 and 2. And then they spoke with fans, the creator.

Scott Chambers spoke with fans about what they can expect from the Monsters Assemble and how Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, and the Mad Hatter will serve as the three main antagonists of the movie. Okay. So, basically, they're all going to be in their own films first. Peter Pan. I think there's a Bambi coming out. Vampire.

Yeah, vampire. Stupid. So yeah, it's Peter Pan. So Bambi and something else is coming out before this. Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins. I don't think she's going to have her own movie, but she might pop up. But basically he's saying that Mary Poppins will be in it and she's going to be a kitty snatcher. Okay. That checks out. So I'm sure her and Peter Pan are going to get along like gangbusters. And there's also the Mad Hatter. I think those three are going to be the worst of the worst.

We've introduced Peter, and later down the line we'll introduce the other two in other films. So I guess she is getting her own film. Okay. The Twisted Childhood Universe will release before Pooniverse Monsters Assemble. which expected to arrive in 2025. So Peter's Neverland Nightmare is coming out later this year, and so is Bambi, and Bambi the Reckoning, and Pinocchio Unstrung. That was the other one. There it is, yeah.

I'm a real boy! Yeah, you are. He's saying that every film will feel different, but Peter Pan's Neverland... Neverland nightmare. One is incredibly dark for a reason. I need you to feel a certain way about Peter Pan by the time we get to Monsters Assemble.

because I need you to just not like him. I need you to get against him from the get-go, because when he goes into the arena with, for example, Pooh, you need to look at Pooh like, he's not all that bad. So Pooh seems to be, he's going to be the hero of the monster. Monsters Assemble or something. Weird. This is very involved. They're a bunch of Disney shit spin-offs. They are fleshing this out.

uh quite a bit okay yeah so just off the top of my head what do we got so far we just got the winnie the pooh one and two right yeah okay i've seen both of those i haven't seen either one of them i saw the first one it's fine it's very Bear is very odd. He's got like a mustard pallor to him. I think they upped their game for the second one. The second one looks better, right, buddy? The second one's better. Okay. And it does tie into the first one. All right. But he looks more like...

Creature effects instead of just a Mooney the Pooh mask thing going on. Okay. All right. So I need to watch Winnie the... Yeah. Part two. Well, if you're into that thing. I don't know that I'm into it. I got to fucking do it. I mean, I watched the first one. I was like, well, I've already started. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And then the last thing I had was the Andy Machete, the director and creator of It, Welcome to Dairy, has plans for three.

Or two additional seasons. Nice. The total series content will be three seasons. And basically what he's saying in this article is every... He's got ideas for every event in... We've read the books, like you said. Every time it comes back 23 years later, 27 years later, there's a tragic event that basically... Nice. That's cool. It's the harbinger of it coming, basically. I like that. So basically every season is going to follow in each one of those time frames. Awesome.

do the backstory of all the things that happened. I think the first one they're starting is going to be happening in the sixties, I believe. So that'll probably be the fire at the black spot. Yes. The fire, the black spot. What were the other two? The explosion at the mill at the mill. And then, um, There was one that was like 1908. Yeah.

So, yeah, it's 1962, 1935, and 1908. Those are the time frames that these seasons are going to be set in. I'm even more excited about it now. I'm into it, dude. Yeah. I'm into it. I'm excited, too. So that's cool that they're – Does well, then they've got two other seasons on deck. Speaking of Mary the Poppins and Pennywise the Clown, have you guys ever heard that weird fan theory that they're basically from the same species?

Mary the Poppins and Pennywise? No. Yeah. There's like a bizarro internet fan theory that like, Mary the Poppins.

Mary Poppins like came down as part of like, it's, it's, I'm not, you know what? I'm not going to waste your time. Talk myself out of it. Is a chimney cleaner in there? No, but she is like, they're supposed to be like a Jesus and satan kind of a thing going on like mary came down to help children and um like she feeds off of joy and happiness and like protecting kids and not in the booniverse pennywise of course is the opposite of that he just wants to bite their

heads off and scare the piss out of them well they kind of flesh out pennywise or in literature like the dark tower stuff you know you've seen or i don't know if you've read this dark towers yeah i'm not so they kind of Explain a little bit more. I'm scared to do it, Dusty. It's fucking bananas. I've seen it destroy lives. It's bananas. It is crazy. Start going mad. Yeah.

It's very disjointed, but a lot of his characters from all his other works pop up, and I stuck with it, and I read the whole thing or listened to the whole thing. Of course. Buddy, what you got? All right, run-and-gun horror shooter, Cruel. is now available. If you're in the mood for some fast-paced old-school 90s first-person shooter action, solo developer James Dornan might have just what you need with Cruel, which was recently released to Steam.

A roguelike element with run-and-gun gameplay. Cruel echoes the look of blood. as well as having a similar vein of twisted dark humor. Plus, in Evil Dead fashion, you get to wield a chainsaw and shotgun simultaneously. Sweet deal. Nice. I like that. Sounds fun. I don't have a Steam account, but it sounds fun. I do. I never do.

use it, though. So you're just paying the $10.99 a month. Pretty much. Forget about it. In fact, until you mentioned it, I completely forgot. You're supporting the cause. Hey, honey, I just paid the $10 a month by canceling my Steam membership. Yeah, look at that. Trick or Treat Studios supersizes their Terrifier Art the Clown figure to 12 inches tall.

So back in the first weeks of 25, doesn't mean they can start looking ahead, but annual Halloween Party Expo just kicked off Vegas this week, North America's premier event for Halloween party and celebration. It used to be like four inches tall. or five inches tall, but now it's 12. That's what she said. Hey, Al. Right? Hey, Al. It's hard to come by. Those little pills are yours there, buddy. Also,

What do I got here? And be sure to virtually browse their full 25 catalog. Now available for viewing this year, brings brand new products from licenses, including Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Toxic Crusaders, Halloween, The Strangers, Crash... Krampus, Sleepy Hollow, Army of the Darkness, Trick R Treat, The Leprechaun, Poltergeist, Hellraiser, and even Maniac Cop 2 figures. Sweet. Yes. And they're averaging between $40 and $50. Yeah.

That's all I got. What do you got? Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. You talked about Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. Clips are already out at bloody disgusting. Okay. I didn't watch it. Me either. Whatever. If you're interested, I feel like I should catch up on this Pooniverse.

If it's a thing and it's going to keep going on, we might as well begrudgingly watch it. Just get in there. I think they're on Peacock, aren't they? Well, they used to be. I don't know. Yeah, I think they are still. We've all seen Alien Romulus. Oh, yeah. Now, was it just... or did the CGI droid of Ian Holm from the first... It looked a little weird, right? Yeah. You know, as much AI as they're putting into film and TV now...

They haven't quite perfected it. And you can definitely tell when someone's been either de-aged or, you know, it's got that look to it. I mean, it's... Way better than we've had. It used to be. But, I mean, there's still just something. Yeah. There's something about it. It's almost too perfect. Yeah. You know what I mean? You want to see, like, some pockmarks or something. I don't know. The CGI for Ian Holman, Alien Run.

Romulus has been changed for the home video release. So I don't know what exact changes they made. Maybe it's not going to be too perfect. It might be more realistic. I believe they turned him into a black lesbian. So that's just the internet. It wouldn't be a dash model android. Oh, that's fucked up. Scream Factory is releasing Night of the Creeps in 4K, and it's going to come with a Tom Atkins action figure.

Oh, my God. All right. How cool is that? Thrill me. I'm not going to buy it. Speaking of Stephen King, Coleman Domingo is going to play the game show host in Edgar Wright's upcoming Running Man remake. Running man remains. It's going to be hard to beat old Richard Dawson. Right. And Arnold.

Arnold, yeah. I don't think this is... Have you ever read The Running Man? No, I have never read that one. Me neither. And I don't think... I could be completely off, but I don't think the source material was anything like... Like the Arnold movie. Like the... game show thing I think it had to do with like a I don't know I don't even know I think it had like there was a game show it was like televised executions basically

I don't know. But we'll see where they go. Like I said, if it's not going to have Buzzsaw and Fireball and Sub-Zero, I don't know if I'm interested, fellas. I'll tell you what I am interested in. Lauren Lavera. Oh, yeah? Yeah. The hot piece of ice from the Terrifier movies. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she is going to star in a horror comedy called The Fetus. Whoa. Wow. I don't know what that's about. Now, gentlemen, I have a question. If we were hungry, would she feed us? Oh, my God.

Now you get out of here. I've been working on that one. I bet you have. Trailers are up right now on YouTube if anybody wants to see what's going on with the fetus. Ah, shit. That's all we got on the horror news, you fuckers. How about some listener mail? Yeah. Sounds good. Listener mail. We got some emails and some voicemails and all kinds of fun things happening here. Oh, shit. Are you guys ready for a blast from the past?

Who dis? Yeah. My best friend in the whole world wrote in, it's Tony. Hey, what's up, Tony? From Bakersfield. Subject line, Darian is a turd. You knew that was coming. Turd. I think he just copies and pastes that thing every minute. I think he does. Usually with a picture of me on a various appendage. What's up, bitches? Tony. That's it. That's it. That's all you had to say. Well, right on, Tony. I cut my finger off. Other than that, I'm okay. What's up, bitches?

Nothing. Work is light. Work is good. All righty. Good to hear from you, Tone. Thanks for writing in, I guess. Yeah. Let's get down to Sydney, Australia. Here comes Tim. Hey, what's up, Tim? The dummy of horror. Subject line, Predator isn't blind. Hey boys, how are you this week? This will only be a quick one from me. I don't have much to say. TerraDome, so... You guys mentioned that the Predator only sees heat and Dracula is dead, so no heat, which should mean instant win for Dracula. But...

We are forgetting that Predator can change his vision to match the environments. He does it in Alien vs. Predator and can see things that don't have a heat signature. I think he's right. Yeah. I think I remember him doing that. Yeah. What I was saying is when we're talking about it is when they take their masks off. Yeah. They only see in the infrared spectrum. Right. They can't change it. Yeah. You can see them cycling through all their different visions.

And Predator 2. Yeah, yeah. So they can figure out a way to see him, I'm sure. Totally. I think Predator is much smarter than people give him credit for. Put me down for the Predator. Darian, I have no idea who you are, but I'm curious. That's it for me. Much love, team. Right on, Tim. Thanks for writing in, dude. That's one for the, two for the predator.

All right, gents. Well, that's all we got on the emails. How about a couple of voicemails here? Yeah. Here comes our main man from Alabama. Alan's in the house. Hey, what's up, Alan? What's up? What's up, Big Daddy? Everybody's doing good. Good to hear Buddy back. Thank you. Anyway, Terror Dome. What do you think? Give me Dracula. Yeah, buddy. Mr. Darien, are you Savage Street? Oh, he got me. Last week, you know, what was I looking at? I forgot to mention Nosferatu this week.

Yeah. Which I really like. I mean, it's just a horny movie, but it's really good. Shelly hated it. Oh. But I liked it. I mean, it was dark. It's somber. I mean, it's pretty much typical Robert Eggers, but I liked it. Anyway. I watched The Substance. Me and Shelley binged Wednesday. Okay. I really liked it. The Substance. I liked the gore and stuff. It's kind of a weird movie, but I did like it.

I was telling Shelley about it, and she said that it seems almost like less about Hollywood beauty, even though it kind of goes toward the end, but almost kind of like motherhood and stuff, because that... Sue is a part of Elizabeth. That's true, yeah. I don't know. I think it'd be interesting to watch with a chick and get their opinion of it, but I did enjoy it. I disagree with you on that.

I'm thinking Samuel L. Jackson is Ben. I would have loved that. Oh, yeah. Anyway, that's all I got. Hope everybody's well. Talk to y'all later. Beautiful. Thanks, Alan. Thanks for calling in, Alan. Got you down for Dracula, of course. I was Savage Streets last week. So there's that. Here comes Tom Hardy, also from Southern California. Hey, Tom. He's doing okay. Tom, how are you? I hope you're doing all right. How's my favorite D-shirt? I'm good. Better than you, I hope. I'm doing well.

I wanted to get in real quick there. It's been fucking super busy. I can only my asshole down here. So I ain't got much to say, but fucking I, no way I was going to miss going two for two. Let's go. Educating department there. You got to be. Savage 3. You nailed it, buddy. That's probably my fucking introduction to Linnea Quigley and Linda Blair there as well. Yes, sir.

Top of the scene sitting in the tub. In the bathtub. Stewing. Yeah, put me down for that savage treat. Thank you. Fucking Terror Dome. What do we got? We got Dracula and we got the Predator. Yes, sir. You know what? Just put me down. Fuck. Fuck.

That is a good one. I'm going to go with Dracula. All righty. Just, you know what? Somebody had made the observation, like, hey, the Predator is fucking... far more advanced true you know the dracula's dad uh fucking lifetimes to live and to also true and uh i i figure that dracula will figure out a fucking way to uh to fucking drain the Predator. Didn't get to catch much on the what are you looking at department. I'm so fucking busy down here, but did get to catch a flick No Way Up.

No way up. It's Shark Flick. I believe it's Netflix. Okay. Some of the science in there might be a little dubious. What? I'm fine for what it was. Well, kind of, you know. Daughter wasn't feeling well. She wanted to watch a shark flick, and that's what we found. Okay. It's not bad. Definitely more of an adventure or action flick shark flick than a horror shark flick. It's kind of fucking funny that the opening credits, they got the music playing in the background.

What are they playing? But fucking bad religion. Los Angeles is burning. Oh, my goodness. Three days later, sure as shit. Yeah, Los Angeles is burning. Well, shit. Give me a good laugh. Anyway, hope all is well. Love you like family. Bye now. Love you too, Tom Hardy. Be safe out there, buddy. Be safe.

Right on, dudes. You guys got anything for Alan, Tony, Tom Hardy, or Tim? Thanks all for calling and writing in. Yep. You guys are the best. You know that already. I think it's time for a movie, fellas. Sounds good. Dead of Night. The story of one night in a small town that changed the lives of many and ended the lives of some. Oh, shit. As night fell, something evil descended upon the town. Something corrupt, unspeakable. Behind their drawn curtains they waited.

As fear walked in the dead of night. Is that Andy? Joanne doesn't even know he's home yet. She'll be so surprised. But Andy wouldn't kill anybody. Academy Award. of the first five minutes of Dead of Night. Audiences will not be seated after the beginning of the picture. I should probably look at the run time on these trailers before I just run up. What was that, six and a half minutes? Jesus Christ. I'm going to take a little intermission there for fuck's sake. And don't forget.

If you come in after the first five minutes, they will not seat you. They will not seat you. No. You've got to wait until the next show and get out of here. It's very important, the first five minutes of this movie. It is Death Dream from 1974, also known as Dead of Night, written by Alan Ormsby, directed by Bob Clark. It's got a PG rating. 6.6 stars on IMDb, this one got. Okay.

Starring John Marley, Lynn Carlin, and Richard Backus. If we were a financial project, would Richard Backus? Come on, people! Come on! Get out of here. Bruch. Hey, now. I need more people with a us at the last part of the last name. This was Tom Savini's first paying gig as a special effects artist. So we'll see, like, as the month goes on, his progression. Special effects-wise, I thought this one was pretty good. Yeah, it was. For 1974, yeah. Not bad at all.

We start off in what is supposed to be the jungles of Vietnam, gentlemen. More like the wilds of northern Washington. Or possibly even my backyard. Just on a badly lit night. You can't really see what's going on. You just see a bunch of dudes running around. And then like some... Loose gunfire and some muzzle flashes. And then a guy falls down. And then he basically starts getting whispered to. Andy, you can't die. Andy, don't die.

All right. No? Okay. And then we're going to... That is the important first five minutes of the movie. So... You can't miss that part. Or they will kick your ass right out of the movie. He was being whispered to and then got shot. And he died. So it was the fucking people whispering to him. They're the ones to blame for this whole shit. Now we're going to cut to Brooksville, Florida. Now, I can't – obviously, this couldn't all have transpired in one night, right? There's no way.

So I'm going to say... Well, it was daytime too. It didn't happen in one night because it went through a few days. Yeah, but I mean like him getting killed in Vietnam and then immediately showing up at his house. There's no way. Right. But on top of that, there was like the tele... All right, anyway. We're going to meet Andy's family back in Brooksville. We've got mom and dad and his sister, Catherine, and very suburban, small-town family, very...

mid to early 70s vibe going on here. Have you guys ever seen a movie called Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things? They basically transplanted the cast from this movie into that one. Gotcha. So...

That one is a very silly zombie movie. It's borderline comedy. But this one, obviously, is supposed to be much more serious. But I don't know if it... it really succeeded at that uh anyway uh suburban family this is andy's family we're about to find out because they're sitting around the dinner table uh reminiscing about andy and what a good duty is and well he hasn't written in a while i don't know why and

And mom confesses to lying to Andy's girlfriend about him writing more often than he actually does. Very innocent thing going on here. Unfortunately, there's a knock on the door, and it's the colonel of somewhere. Random colonel shows up with a telegram, which you know means that your kid ain't coming home, Jack. Very sad, somber moment.

I think these days they make more of a ceremony out of it. They bring you a flag. I would imagine, yeah. Yeah. Like a singing telegram? Well, maybe not that big of a ceremony. I don't think they show up with, like, flutes and stuff. Remember how Bobby used to be alive? Joke's on you, Jack. That's stupid.

No, but the colonel shows up and he hands dad the telegram which says Andy's dead. And then everybody breaks down and mom runs upstairs crying and dad just kind of stands there looking down at the floor and Catherine freaks right out. And then we cut to a couple hours later in the dead of night, and Mom is awake in a rocking chair staring at a candle.

From what I gather, this is shot in early 70s film stock, which means it's always going to be dark as shit, even like in the daytime scenes. It's very hard to make out. I think she was just staring at a candle, sitting in a rocking chair, going, Andy's not dead. I know he's not dead. I can feel it. He's out there somewhere. And then, well, that's creepy to start with. But now we're getting weird sounds coming from around the house.

like creakies and like you hear a door open and close. And now dad and Catherine are up and they're all thinking there's an intruder or something. Mom is still in the rocking chair, basically catatonic. And they go downstairs and they see the front door is wide open.

open so they poke their heads out and they're like hey anybody out there and they come back in and andy is standing behind the door like a creeper in his uh military dress uniform just standing in the dark what a creep what a creepo you know well you don't have to do

like a breaking and entering on your own house when you come home right you know you just bring the doorbell or you just let yourself in hey i'm home i'm home hey don't shoot it's just me it's creepy all right so everybody's so ecstatic to see andy and

This is about the most normal we're going to see Andy here for a few minutes. They sit down at the table and they're, oh, you know, so glad you're home. You know, you wouldn't believe it. Your colonel was just here and he said you were dead. And I told him he was wrong and I knew he was wrong because...

you know and andy's like well i kind of was dead yeah and then they all start laughing hysterically yeah the whole family yeah this is a big joke well it's weird because if you watch ed sing Seeing the laugh, and then Andy's just like... thousand yards staring him and they kind of stop laughing and then they start laughing again to like cover up for the awkwardness of it. And the camera keeps zooming in on their mouths. I'm like, what the fuck? I hate that. I do too. I hate that.

You're seeing all the fillings and shit. Cigarette stains? Gross. Get out of here. That guy drinks too much coffee. So, yeah, that's how it goes down, and then we're going to cut to the next day. Clearly, something is not right with Andy, and I think at this point in the film, we can kind of write it off to PTSD. But we did, and leading up to that, we get a little... POV first person shooter scene of a hitchhiker being picked up by a truck driver and then the truck driver basically getting...

His throat cut, I guess, or torn. They didn't actually show the kill on that one. No. They showed the POV of him picking the hitchhiker up, and then he ran into the diner to buy a pack of cigarettes and coffee. But he does call the hitchhiker a soldier. So there's that. And now we have a dead truck driver also. So that's pretty creepy. Now we're going to get back to Andy and his everyday life homecoming situation. We start off with a picnic.

which the fucking nosy mailman just kind of invites himself over and starts telling his own war stories right in front of Andy now by all means I'd love to share you know but I'm kind of having a moment with my family here. Random mailman, Ben. The guy must be the worst mailman in the entire mail fleet over there at Brooksville. I don't know. He probably is the only mailman. Probably. Get what you get, man. We couldn't find anybody else to do it, so this guy's going to invite us. himself in.

Got some egg salad sandwiches over here. Hey, I'm just going to have a salad. Give me a sip of that dare sweet tea. Don't mind if I do. Why don't you pour me some of that sweet tea? Yeah. Well, I'm just going to hang out at your house here for another hour or two. Everybody else is waiting on their mail, Ben. Get the fuck out of here, will you? Jesus. My fucking tax dollars go to this. All right. Anyway, I'm getting myself all worked up.

Andy's like creepy. I mean, he's not creepy, but he's just zero emotion. Yeah. None whatsoever. Eventually, Ben says something about somebody getting shot in the ass in World War II. And Andy likes... stands up and just walks away kind of violently in a weird fuck you kind of a thing. Ben's like, whoa, what the hell was that all about? And his dad's like, oh, you know, he's just getting reacquainted here. Give him a few days.

So that's great. Andy just goes up into his room and sits in the rocking chair and stares out the window the whole time. Okay. And the rocking chair is squeaking. Creaking. Driving his old man nuts. It would drive me nuts, too. It would take about a day and a half of that, and that rocking chair has got to go. Bring out the oil can. Dude, I'll buy you a Lazy Boy. Recliner I'll put it up there We'll put it together It'll be great Way more comfortable And quiet So that's great

Catherine's all excited. We're going to find out that Andy had a girlfriend before he left. A saucy little number named Joanne. She's still around. And Andy does a little peeping Tom action on her. I don't think the plumbing was working on Andy. So he maybe was trying to scope a boob, do a little tit lurking, if you will. Failed and then just kind of lost interest and went back to his rocking chair. Unfortunate.

So that'll happen to a young man, you know? What he needs to know is that he's not gay. You get a couple of shots of Jameson in you, and then you're thinking you're going to have it the old lady, and it just doesn't work. You're not gay. It's called whiskey. That's what it is. It happens to everybody. Oh God, I couldn't get it. Dude.

Maybe cut it down to a three-pack next time. Doesn't make you gay, all right? She probably appreciated it. Yeah, she's going to go to sleep anyway. You're sweating and grunting for five minutes. And just to be like... Alright honey. What is wrong with this thing? Do you have any popsicle sticks and scotch tape? You're out of control, buddy. That's out of line.

Anyway, that doesn't work, obviously. So he just goes... On his way home, though, he stops by the cemetery. And we don't really see what he's doing just yet, but... He grabs like a rock and starts kind of defacing one of the tombstones. We'll get more into that in a few minutes. After that, we're going to cut to Andy's dad, who's... Doing the best he can to like re-socialize his son and try to find his son in this.

individual somewhere because this guy is basically just a mannequin uh he's like hey you want to what do you want to go fishing you want to hang out with your buddies what do you want to do and at one point he invites all the neighborhood kids over because i guess andy used to play with the neighborhood kids

And the neighborhood kids show up and they're like, hey, Andy, I know karate now. Yeah, hey, remember me, Andy? And Andy just freaks out and strangles the dog. Yeah. He's like, did you kill anybody, Andy? Did you kill anybody over there, Andy? Just...

And the dog is barking. The dog, which was what? Like a Corgi? One of those little dogs? I don't know. Some little Benji dogs. Always yapping at Andy. And now we got all these fucking kids running around. So Andy's like, I'm going to put the hurting on this dog. So he picks him up and just... chokes them out.

Kills the dog is what happens. Poor dog. And the kids are crying. Yeah, of course. Watching in horror as all this unfolds. There's one particular kid that was crying a little awkwardly. Oh, yeah. I don't know. What the fuck? Is Andy choking the kid too? What's happening? Yeah. Darth Vader choking. It's like they told the kid, okay, cry now. Boo! Boo! Boo! Oh, you're stupid. Child actors. Never good in horror movies. But God bless them for trying.

So at that point, Dad is now officially freaked out. Dad loved the hell out of that dog, by the way. Old Butchie. And he killed Butchie! He killed him! He killed Butchie! Andy's dad goes to the bar And starts drinking Unfortunately as he's there The town doctor shows up And this doctor is also the town coroner and the town toxicologist. Small town. Everything. I think he'll give you a haircut, too. Surprised he wasn't the mailman.

I would vote for him for mailman before that fucking asshole. He starts drinking and he's like, God, you know, we just found this dead truck driver. And we did get a little bit of an autopsy scene. There's like a pinprick. On the dead truck driver, like somebody used a hypodermic needle on him. The dipshit cops are like, oh, he's a doper.

All right. Let's jump to some conclusions here, shall we? Look at this doper. He's picking at his neck. I know. He's like picking at the neck. I know. He's like got in there with a stick and he's like, well, look at that. What would have done that? Well, I mean, that's what you do. What the hell is the cop doing in there during the autopsy? Exactly. The doctor said, stop fucking around with that. Get out of here, you ass.

Well, you know what? The mailman's going to show up and he's going to want sweet tea, for fuck's sake. Anyway, he's there and he's talking to Andy's dad. And Andy's dad is half in the bag over the death of Butchie. And he's like, ah, God, you know... Andy just showed up and he's acting like a weirdo. And the doctor's like, hey, when, about what time did he show up? And he's like, I don't know, like Wednesday night, Thursday morning. And he's like, you're.

son is a soldier right he just came back from the war and he's like yeah and he's acting like a real asshole now he killed butchie and the doctor's like well how about i stop by and pay andy a visit and see what's going on with him Dad is hammered, so he's like, yep, you fix him. I can't deal with him. So the doctor goes back to the house and has a little conversation with Andy. It's pretty tense. They do a lot of staring at each other, like trying to...

Figure each other out? Yeah, what time did you come home, Andy? I don't know, Doc. I don't remember. Very intense, like, Dirty Harry-style interrogation mind games going on here, buddy. The doctor pretty much surmises that Andy is cuckoo bananas. He probably killed the truck driver. And at this point, Andy... he's looking a little pink in the gills, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, he's getting pale and kind of wrinkly. Yeah, his skin's getting all white and kind of...

He's wrinkly and he's got big bags under his eyes. He doesn't look like he did at the start of the movie, that's for sure. Right. So the doctor's like... Well, tell you what there, Andy. How about you come see me at the office sometime? I'm going to give you a checkup, free of charge. And Andy's like, I don't think I need one. okay buddy doctor goes walking out of there but as he's walking out he grabs dad and he's like hey dude

I got to call the cops here because your kid is Cuckoo Bananas and he's a soldier and he got home Wednesday night, which is when the truck driver got killed. So... I mean, I'm no forensic pathologist. I'm just the barber slash doctor slash hairstylist of the town. But I got to tell somebody about this, right?

Dad's like, no, no, no, no, no. You can't tell anybody. It doesn't mean anything. So the doctor's like, all right, I'll tell you what. I'll give you until tomorrow. I'll call the cops in the morning and tell them then, okay? Dad's like, oh, thank you so much. While all that's going on, Andy... I think overheard the conversation, hauls ass out of the back door and steals mom's car and takes off. Now, I got to tell you, dudes, these parents should be posthumously nominated for parents of the year.

My mom is not going to drive me away from the cops in a flaming Bonneville. I can't get her to lend me money. You know what I'm saying? You think she's going to cover up a crime for me? No. Hell no. The dad who actually... goes to the lengths of trying to throw the cops off andy's trail yeah oh hell no my dad my dad would have marched me down to the police station turned it over put the cuffs on me himself

these parents by your ear probably yeah tell them what you did son go ahead jesus christ these parents great fucking parents dusty i've met your mom i feel like she might at least buy you some time Yeah, probably. Dusty's mom is wonderful. Yeah, she is. She's one of those kind that nothing can surprise her. Nothing can get her out of her... Just even-keeled it. Hey, Mom, buy me some time with the cups. Well, the car's on fire. Yeah, exactly.

That's exactly how she paid. Why do you want to go to the cemetery? That'd be my mom, yeah. All right, anyway, so Andy steals the car. Goes hauling ass to the doctor's office, which is where the doctor's headed. They get there about the same time. The doctor goes inside. Andy's creeping around outside. And we get a little cat and mouse action here between Andy and the doctor. They're like...

Not turning the lights on. Just turn the fucking lights on. You know what I mean? There's somebody creeping around. Turn the fucking lights on so you can see them. Right. I don't understand why the doctor felt the need to creep around the office.

Uh, at one point he picks up the phone to call the cops and he's like, Hey, this is Dr. So-and-so. And I think that, and then the phone goes dead. So there's that. And then, uh, eventually to make a long story short, Andy pops in and at first he's like, Hey, I'm here for my checkup doc. And the doctor's like, well, I've got to get to the hospital. You're looking a lot worse by now. Oh, yeah. You look full on like falling apart kind of.

Doctor's like, I gotta get to the hospital there, fella. How about you come back? He's like, no, I gotta have it now. So Doc is like, okay. And then, to make a long story short, after a very awkward, like... half-assed conversation uh andy attacks the doctor and kills him and this is where we see what what the hell's going on with andy uh he kills him and then he

pulls out this huge hypodermic needle. That's what he killed a doctor with. Yeah. One stab. Yeah. The needle. Sure. I don't know. Why not? But then he, this thing is like the size of a Red Bull can though. Yeah. And then he like pulls out a full quart of blood. into this thing and then he injects it into himself and then his skin looks a little bit better I thought somewhat a little bit yeah

Okay, great. The next morning he was looking pretty regular. Regular for... Regular from when he first showed up. For a German fashionista, I guess. I don't know. Oh, is that what he put on the turtleneck? Yeah. Yeah. That's where we went full creep. Because that's what creeps wear. Turtlenecks. You see that guy standing around outside your house? You go right back in and you lock the door. White turtleneck. Giant. Giant fucking glasses. And black leather gloves. No. He just got into his...

Diallo villain costume. Totally. Either that or he's playing the keyboard for Rammstein. Yeah. So while that's going on, he goes home and he goes back to bed. Goes back to his rocking chair, I should say. Next morning, Dad wakes up. He's like, oh God, you're going to call the cops. What am I going to do? I don't know.

kind of like half-ass tries to explain to mom what the fuck is going on. But in the midst of all this, Catherine has set up a double date because that's what you want to do. You want to take this nutsack out on a date. Yeah. I'm sure you'll have a super time. Absolutely. This isn't going to be weird at all. Well, I mean, in her defense, she set him up with his old girlfriend, Joanne. So...

Theoretically, this should have worked out if Andy was a normal human being. Big to do here. We're going to surprise Joanne. She doesn't know that Andy's back. First, Andy says he doesn't want to go, but then mom and sis kind of pressure him into it. And finally, he's like, I'll go. Fine. Yes, it'll be wonderful. Amazing. So now it's time for them to go out on their date.

And as Dusty alluded to, Andy comes down the stairs looking exactly like Dieter from Sprockets. Giant fucking dark black glasses, leather gloves, a head-to-foot white... Turtleneck slash...

I guess slacks. Yeah. Brown situation. He looks just like somebody that you would see driving a big white van with free candy written on the side or something. Um, and he's still just this cold emotionless hello good to see you uh joanne she's like oh my god indy you're back yay yes hello joanne good to see you let's go they go they get in the car it is so fucking awkward um

They go get a burger. Andy, of course, refuses to eat. They keep trying to like, hey, you remember Andy? Andy, this is your old girlfriend. You fingered her in the back of the fucking gym that one time, huh? Yes, I remember. It was fun. Joanne's like, hey, I missed you so much. And he's like, okay. Oh, God. I feel like in a weird way, I think if you actually did take Andy on a double date, I feel like you're going to get laid that night.

Just by the proximity to the disaster. You know what I'm saying? Your date's going to be like... At least I'm not with this fuck card. Yeah, look at what a gentleman I am. I'm talking to you and stuff. You know, I actually made eye contact with you. Right. How about that? I looked you in the eyes, too. Hey, I asked you how you were doing. I even gave you a sip of my Coke. See you there? That's right.

This fight. Stupid. All right. Anyway, they finish their burger. It's weird, obviously. They go to the drive-in. The sister Catherine and her boyfriend get out of the car to go buy some snacks. And this is where we're supposed to have like a touching reconnecting moment between Joanne and Andy. Andy has still not taken his glasses off it's now dead of night obviously so what the fuck she's like hey Andy I thought about you a lot and you know I really missed you and

Is there somebody else? What the hell's wrong with you? And he's like, no, there's nobody else. And then she's like, oh, well, then let's just get back together like we just... Nothing happened. And he's like, uh. How desperate is she? Well, she missed her boyfriend. Yeah, but I can't like this. When he left, he seemed like a good dude. She kept trying to put her hand on his thigh and kept moving her head. Get out of here.

No, you don't. And at some point during this ridiculous conversation, like a trail of poop or something comes out of Andy's head. Yeah, it just starts leaking. So he's like trying to wipe it off. And she's like, what the fuck, man? And then the glasses come off, and this is where we see he's got the full-on zombie eyes. And she's like, what the... And then he goes, and then he jumps on top of her. And we assume then that he...

kills her or strangles her in some fashion. Regardless, unfortunately, Joanne is no longer part of the equation. This is when the sister and her boyfriend come back, and they're like, oh, you guys are really getting it on back there, huh? Don't mind us. Uh, eventually the brother gets, you know, a little, he wants to scope a boobie or something. So he's like, Hey, my room for one more.

And then this is when they notice that she's dead. Andy pops up. He is now in full-on zombie situation. He's all fucked up. They're like, oh, my God. And then they jump out of the car and he pops out and strangles the boyfriend with that speaker that you used to get at the drive-in with the wire. And he chokes him out with that. The sister is freaking right out. So Andy hops right in the car and just peels through a crowd. There was one random guy crawling in front of the car.

That guy, there's your tit lurker right there. He's at the drive-in on a Saturday night. He's crawling around, peeping in windows. Unfortunately, he gets run over, but I guarantee you he had a hard dick. He got ran over. That's right. He got run over twice, didn't he? Oh, yeah. Back up over it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, fuck that guy all up. He probably didn't pop a tire. I don't think.

Ah, buddy! I don't think anybody's going to miss that guy because he's probably been charged with beating off at the drive-in on more than one occasion. Andy hauls ass back to his house. At this point, the cops are aware of what just transpired at the drive-in, so they're in hot pursuit. Andy just runs right upstairs and gets back in his rocking chair.

And mom and dad are there like, Andy, what's going on? What happened? Where's your sister? And when he turns around, he is just a full-on zombie in a turtleneck sweater. What happened to the sister? I can't remember. She's still at the drive-in screaming.

I thought he killed her, too, or she died. I don't think she survived. Yeah, I think she, because she got out of the car before he took off. I know that. I didn't know. I thought he was trying to run her down, but he didn't hit her. She just got away. No, just the Pervo guy. Just the Pervo. Yeah. Just the tit lurker. Just the lurker.

He's now in full-on zombie. The cops are surrounding the place. Dad, at this point, is like... He tries to do the right thing. He pulls a gun on Andy. He's like, Andy, get away from him. I'm going to kill him. And Andy's like... Yeah, he can't even talk. No, he's all fucked up. And mom's like, no, he's our son. You can't do that. And eventually dad just sits down and kills himself. All right, then. I mean, how guilty can you feel about having a zombie kid?

Unless you made a Mazon. Whatever, dude. At this point, Mom really nails home the Mom of the Year award by jumping into the car with Andy and leading the police on a high-speed chase. through downtown Brooksville, Ezra Bonneville randomly catches fire in the back. That's what I... I think it was supposed to be a ricochet because the cops were just letting them have it. Just shooting bullets. It had to have been... I'm thinking they're...

They're saying it was a ricochet. Okay. But the whole ass end of the car lights up. Yeah, which is actually pretty kick-ass. If I'm going to try to evade the police, I would like to do it in a flaming vehicle. Yep. The best part, though, is just as they're... Coming out of the house. The big fat loser cop is like. Hey freeze. And then he shoots.

Shoots Andy twice. No intention of arresting Andy at all. Just wanted to kill him. That's all there is to it. And then no regard for mom driving the car. They're just whittling that car with bullets. Yeah. Eventually, Andy's giving her half-assed directions, turn here, turn there, drives back to the cemetery where Andy jumps into an open grave, and now we see that he has written his own name.

date of birth date of death on that one random tombstone and starts burying himself uh mom is like begging him not to and then the cops run up and surround him and then he just kind of stops and the cops all just scratch their head and then his car blows up in the background. And that, my friends, was Death Dream from 1974. Woo! Woo! What a ride, baby. Yeah, it was. Now, I have been on some awkward dates. But I like to think that I could keep it above the...

Andy from death dream. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I've done the double date thing and I knew the chick basically told me from the time she met me that she hated men. So I'm okay. You already knew where that was going. Alrighty. You have no shot, sir. So just keep it PC. I will just sit over here and watch the game on the TV. Call me if you need me. Yeah. What did you guys think of Death Dream? It was all right. It was fun.

It's a silly movie. It is. It's bananas. I like it a lot. It's very nostalgic for me. I saw this probably a lot younger than I should have, but it... Yeah, seeing Andy's parents and then looking at my sorry excuse for parents. I can't get a Nintendo? Yeah, she's driving a flaming car and I can't get a Nintendo. Whatever, dude. Whatever. I don't even care, Mom. All right, dudes. I think it's time to take us a little break. We'll come back with some other stuff. Yeah.

I tell you what.

If you buy a rocking chair, we can't be friends anymore. Oh, yeah. Same thing for you. I would never own a rocking chair. I don't think you would. But him I could see in a rocking chair. You know. Staring off. I might even buy a turtleneck sweater. You're not getting in this house. getting in this house with a turtleneck sweater, you fucker. Turtleneck sweater and the black leather driving gloves. Big old glasses.

Global driving gloves that double as strangling gloves. Absolutely. Or slapping gloves. Initiating dual gloves like shwack. All right, dudes. It's Teradome time. Oh, yeah. No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering. I'm not gonna hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains. I'm gonna bash them right the fuck in. I'll kill you all. I'll try to get crazy. I'll kill you all.

Does a dream come true? Six-year-old child with this blind, pale, emotional face of blackest eyes. The devil sucks. Welcome to the Pterodome. First, last week's winner. Singles competition, we had Dracula versus the Predator. The creature was strange and its weapons were foreign, but its scent was unmistakable. Finding it in the forest was easy. Killing it wasn't.

But by the time Vlad got his hands on the thing's neck, it had already succumbed to various wounds inflicted by the form of bats. With a vote of 6-3, Dracula advances over the Predator. Sorry, Dusty. Tim's upset too. What are you going to do? I can hear him snapping a pencil in half all the way in Australia. It happens. Let's take a look at this week's matchup, shall we? As usual, inmates bear with me. I'm not much of a writer.

New York was a cesspool, but it was his cesspool and his responsibility to clean it up. Unfortunately for Matthew Cordell, cops, criminals, and citizens alike were all aware of his violent plans. He had to flee. In Chicago's infamous southwest side, he finds light company. More crime-infested streets, more corrupt cops and city officials, and more blood to spill in the name of the law.

At the heart of the inner city slum are the war-torn Cabrini Green housing projects. Most of the apartments sit empty except for roaming junkies and prostitutes looking to ply their trade. The upper floors, however, are still dark and silent. Not even the street vermin dare to go up there. They all know what's waiting up there for them. It's where he lives, the Candyman.

Singles competition, we have the Maniac Cop versus the Candyman, gentlemen. That's another tough one. Yeah, it is. I think I've got to go with the Candyman on this one. I mean, Matthew Cordell is a – Son of a bitch. And he can take a lot of punishment, but I just don't know what a gun is going to do to the candy man. Yeah, but he can't. He's a... He's like a walking dead like Jason is too. Pretty much. How can he kill him? Very good point. I don't know.

I don't know. I'm just going with Candyman because that's just what I'm doing. All right. Well, I'm going to offset your vote and go with the Maniac Cup. All right, buddy. Tiebreaker. Yeah. Man, that's a tough one. I am going to have to go with Candyman also. Already? Yeah.

That's where we're at. It's two for the candy man, one for the maniac cop. Get us your votes by next week, inmates, if you can. Mental health hotline is area code 775-3870-275. Or just get us on the regular old email. Just go to paddedroom.com. podcast.com you'll find everything you need to know there including the email link and the tarot dome link and the three out of meat hook link which i'm thinking about bringing back by the way

Maybe. We'll kick that around. In the meantime, we've got to tell you what movies we got to watch this week in a little segment called What Are You Looking At? Bitch. It's not actually called bitch. I just felt like putting that in. I don't know why I even said that. I should apologize. You're not a bitch. But seriously. Well, maybe you are. I don't know you personally, but I like to think that you're not a bitch. I should stop talking.

Who's the bitch now? All right, I'm a bitch. I'm sorry. I'm the real bitch. What are you looking at? I finally got around to Malum from 2024. Buddy, I know you've seen this one, right? Dusty, you've seen Malum? I have not. Have you seen The Last Shift? Yes. This is a remake of The Last Shift. I think, you know what, I think we were looking at that. We were flirting with it, and I thought that...

By the trailer. Yeah. And said, this looks just like The Last Shift. And it's the same director also. So I think, I don't know why we felt the need to make the same movie twice. It's fine. I would like this one a lot more if I hadn't already seen The Last Shift. Right. In which case, I've got to take The Last Shift over Malum. Yes. Malum's fine. It's got some creepy moments, but it's like...

At certain areas, it's almost a shot-for-shot remake. I don't know why we need to do this. And The Last Shift is only like four or five years old. Yeah. And it was good. Yeah. I loved it. I'm going to watch The Last Shift before I watch Malam again. That's just me, though. I watched that. I watched a movie called The Last Straw. You guys ever seen this one? It's on Shudder. Pretty good show. It starts off... Basically, what you're looking at is a...

A movie, I guess not necessarily a home invasion. It's a young lady working at an all-night diner and some creepos in mass show up and start harassing her.

and that's the crux of it but the first half of the movie is her and like what leads up to her being stalked through the diner the second half movie is the creepos and what got them to the point where they're trying to get into the diner and there's a whole twist involved there but it's actually it's ultra violent it's uh i thought it was a pretty good show um

We were flirting with that one too, so we'll take a peek at that one. I'll recommend that one. That one's a pretty good show, I thought. And then lastly, on both of your recommendations, me and the wife and the kids, Ben watched the first season of Only Murders in the Building. Yeah! That's a good show. That's fun stuff. Yeah. I think we're going to start season two tonight. Nice. Yeah. I'm interested in this board game. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah.

I was hoping I could be Bunny, but I saw how the first season ended, so I guess I will not be Bunny, the landlady. She was my favorite. That's all I'm looking at. Dusty, what do you got? I didn't get a whole lot in this week. Been transporting children to... sporting events and watching playoff football. Yeah, well, I'm done watching playoff football. And I think Buddy is also. And I don't think you ever were even invested in playoff football. Well, the only reason I was invested in it is

for betting purposes. Here in Nevada, we can legally bet on sports. We can do that. Next time I watch football, it's going to be the Super Bowl. I think I'm a Commanders fan for the rest of the season. I'm going for the Bills. Bills? My buddy Matt is a big Bills fan. I like that. They went through heartbreak in the 90s. Yeah, the Jim Kelly era. Yeah, four times in the Super Bowl and can't win one. Nope, I remember that.

Yeah, I think I'm going to go with the community. They're probably going to be done this weekend, but, you know. It's kind of a cool little underdog story there. Yeah. Rookie quarterback and all. I was really rooting for your Vikings yesterday. So was I. I hate the Rams. Rams are neither here nor there, but I really like the Vikings, and they just chose not to show up.

One of them. Motherfucking fucker. Don't get me started, Dusty. Buddy, what do you got? Anything this week? All right. I watched a series called Supercell. I don't know if you saw it. It's on Netflix. So this has like some superpower. Some people have like these superpowers. Each one is different. And there's...

in the future, there's going to be a battle between these hooded people and then these people. And it's like to save the world kind of thing. Um, pretty good series. There's going to be another, another one. Another one coming out next year. Nice. And then I got to enjoy a really good series called Obliterated. I don't know if you've seen this or not. Definitely check it out. It's really funny.

A lot of kick-ass action, sarcasm, nudity. I mean, it's great. It's definitely a fun watch. What's it on? Netflix. Netflix. Obliterated. Obliterated. Okay. It was in the top four for a while. And they were going to make a second season, but they ended up pulling out. Not sure exactly why. But it was awesome. Nice. Yeah.

Very cool. Not for kids. Definitely not for kids. My kids are savages. They don't care. A lot of... Yeah, they don't, whatever. It was like nudity and sex in it, but in a comic kind of way. Okay. Yeah, and a lot of like... Adult humor. Ever since, I think it was the first season of Love, Death, and Robots, there's like that second or third episode, which is just basically...

AI Skinamax. Yeah. And I left it on and left the room and I came back and both my kids were just had eyes the size of dinner plates. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And ever since then, they just kind of watch whatever they want. There's tits, ass, penises. Oh, hey, now. Let's not be gentlemen here. There's one scene where they've got to take this rod. Right up the...

Right inside. You're making this sound less good. Oh, man. And then they show like this is what could happen to it. You know, he's got like a button. And like these things come out and it spins. So there's like a scene that's going to involve that. Oh, wow. I don't know if I need this. You definitely have to watch this. This was amazing. All right. Right on. I guess that's all we're looking at. How about some immersion therapy, fellas?

Immersion therapy. So, I guess my problem with smile is that... You can only get squeezed so much out of that creepy smile, right? Sure. Somebody's standing there. They got that creepy smile. They don't acknowledge you. They're just smiling at you. That's creepy. Okay, but now what? And then from there, we jump into that floating demon thing and then that ridiculous ending with the big giant ogre thing. That is kind of silly. The creature look on...

You know, when actually the reveal is not. Kind of reminded me of taking of Deborah Logan. Kind of reminded me of Barbarian. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But I kind of want to bang the thing in Barbarian. I mean, that's just me, though. She had a nice set on her. Big ogre boobies. Beep, beep. Beep, beep. She can be my mommy. Wow. Oh, it's fine. Throw a slap of diaper on me and call me son. I'll just melt right into your arms. Okay.

It was streaming on, what was it, Paramount+. It's fine. It's got Kyle Garner in it. I'm in love with that dude. Other than that, it's fine. I heard the second one is much better. Much better. Is that what we're doing? Buddy. Smile 2. Smile 2. Yes. Yes, we're going to check out Smile 2. It's about to embark on a world tour. Global pop sensation Sky Riley begins experiencing...

increasingly terrifying and inexpectable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her past. And you'll find this gem also on Paramount+. Very cool. Check that shit out, inmates. We'll do the same in Compare Notes next week. Now it is time to play Who's Your Daddy? Nailed it. Who is daddy? I did on the first try this time. First, my clues from last week. I am a tough chick and a bit of a youth gang leader in my...

somewhat slummy part of town here in my shitty high school. But, you know, I'm a badass bitch and I'll fight you. But my main thing is taking care of my kid's sister, who I love more than anything. Unfortunately, she's beaten and raped and murdered in the gymnasium, and I wasn't aware of it. But now I have to, well, first I'm going to sit in the bathtub and skulk. for a while naked with my boobs out. And then when I get done, I'm going to get out and kick some ass.

I am, of course, Savage Streets. Have you guys seen Savage Streets? Long time ago. It's your typical rape revenge with Linda Blair as the gang leader. She spends a lot of time with her boobs out. She was a bit of a piece of work, circa... Late 80s. I have to revisit this one. I mean, she looked pretty good naked. I'll just tell you that. Who might I be this week, you ask, gentlemen? Well, I am a cop.

I'm a bit of a rogue cop at that. I play by my own rules, if you know what I'm saying. I was on a case of disappearing people in the... greater los angeles area and uh i was following the clues and beating dudes up and shooting up places with my partner and uh One clue led to another and we found out that there was a megacorporation working on a contraption to raise the dead. And I was just about to blow the case wide open when I got killed.

Good news, my partner put me in the fucking contraption and brought me back to life. And now I'm right back on the case. And I'm ready to kick some more ass and hopefully, you know, keep my arm attached to my body because that becomes a problem later in the movie.

Things start falling off and such. Anyway, who might I be you asked? Tune in next week and I'll drop some knowledge on you inmates. In the meantime, I think that's about going to do it for us. You guys got anything else on the week? No. Nope. All righty. Join us next week for Maniac. Yeah. 19. 1982, if I'm not mistaken. Tom Savini at his finest.

Dead cops that come back to solve the cases they were working on. Smiling creepers. German creepers and turtleneck sweaters.
