[TS]
00:01:05
◼

so we have actually had an interesting
[TS]
00:01:06
◼
►
email thread when we were putting this
[TS]
00:01:08
◼
►
together which it was that I'm it turns
[TS]
00:01:10
◼
►
out that a lot of our regular
[TS]
00:01:11
◼
►
contributors to the podcast are afraid
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
of are afraid of being scared
[TS]
00:01:15
◼
►
which you know i guess i can guess and
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
then there was this whole conversation
[TS]
00:01:18
◼
►
about like good horror and bad horror
[TS]
00:01:20
◼
►
and what makes a good kind of scary or
[TS]
00:01:23
◼
►
horror movie versus what you know which
[TS]
00:01:27
◼
►
ones are bad and I'm just kind of
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
curious what you guys think what what is
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
an example of of something if somebody
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
wants to watch something that is going
[TS]
00:01:36
◼
►
to put them in the Halloween spirit with
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
the kind of stuff they should be going
[TS]
00:01:40
◼
►
well it again it depends largely on
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
whether you're the kind of candy ass
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
that apparently the rest of the podcast
[TS]
00:01:46
◼
►
yes 10 20 Hertz or if you're into
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
something maybe a little more gruesome a
[TS]
00:01:51
◼
►
little more gory I think just in general
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
most people will say or at least will
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
only admit to appreciating films that
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
are a little more subtle little less
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
blood intensive and I can sort of see
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
their point there although and my
[TS]
00:02:04
◼
►
personal opinion is any horror is
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
generally good horror and even bad
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
horror is is frequently entertaining to
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
some extent you can watch these classic
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
seventies Italian gorefest and just
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
laugh your ass off for an hour
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
see now it's funny that you mentioned
[TS]
00:02:20
◼
►
that I i was going to say that the times
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
that i have watched something that would
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
be classified as horror or kind of
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
horror like the ones that I've enjoyed
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
are the ones where i felt like i could
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
laugh and not just you know I guess it's
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
a combination right it's sort of a laugh
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
as a release from what you're seeing but
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
also that they they can be really funny
[TS]
00:02:37
◼
►
and have a sense of humor and for me
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
that can make the difference between
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
something being kind of just deadly and
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
being entertaining LOL frequently
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
they're just so bad for you but yeah I
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
mean a lot of actually a lot of recent
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
releases since I guess the dawn of irony
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
in the last couple of decades no irony
[TS]
00:02:57
◼
►
yeah well you know it has spawned some
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
good things like it's some decent horror
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
movies with some some actual humor
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
content to them there's generally some
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
good dark humor involved you know I go
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
back maybe to the screen series as as
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
the first good example of that
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
yeah yeah and then and a few more recent
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
entries like Ginger Snaps was I thought
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
very funny
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
now what does that tell me about that's
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
a werewolf movie that likens the whole
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
lycanthrope e turning into a werewolf
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
business to the onset of puberty
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
particularly in the case of girls so
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
there's a young young last named ginger
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
ah yes yeah I think I see where you're
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
going here at the wesley that's the kind
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
of hilarious glorious holiday i'm
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
talking about so not very similar and
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
she and her sister are young goth teens
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
who are very into the sort of
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
over-the-top gore and I think the first
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
the the sequence over the credits is
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
them basically staging glory deaths for
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
themselves because they're both don't
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
think your listeners and they like to
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
sit around in their room and think about
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
how they're going to die horrific Lee
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
any day now and the one girl happens to
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
get her period and immediately after she
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
and her sister are walking through the
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
park and they're attacked by a werewolf
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
so over the next few days weeks whatever
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
the that the girl begins to transform in
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
a multitude of ways and it draws some
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
interesting parallels i think in
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
addition to being just a genuinely scary
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
werewolf movie with the eye with non CGI
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
effects which is also a positive thing
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
in this day and age
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
so I i highly recommend it it's it's
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
it's scary it's funny the werewolf
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
action is not as cheesy as one has come
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
to expect and and like my idea of that
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
other layer there i mean that's what
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
that's what hooked me on the first
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
season of buffy the vampire slayer which
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
was really low budget and what I when I
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
got out of it was that they were taking
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
some of these classic horror movie kind
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
of scenarios and you know playing them
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
as having their equivalents in kind of
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
team in highschool angst and and that
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
was a that was a good call that really
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
worked for sure
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
yeah and I think it has a lot of
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
parallels to to Buffy in that respect
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
and it's also very smart which is
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
something you don't often get the the
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
dialogue is sharp the girls don't seem
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
shaky the acting is very good both of
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
the girls particularly the the sister
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
who basically is charged with making
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
sure that her werewolf a sibling doesn't
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
mall the whole school she's fantastic
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
emily perkins is your name and she's I
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
don't think she's gone on to do anything
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
but other than the two sequels which I
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
guess declined in quality pretty rapidly
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
as they tend to do but yeah just an
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
excellent film i would recommend that
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
one recent I think it's about 2003 call
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
Canadian so you know it has that going
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
against it but yeah yeah so they say all
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
sorts of a suspicious things like a boot
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
and indeed and in fact I think perhaps
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
the most controversial thing is that the
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
movie does include scenes of field
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
hockey so yeah you gotta be prepared for
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
that was writing thanksgiving happens in
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
october and it's very mysterious why
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
that is never explained it's a mystery
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
um I that's great i'm going to put that
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
on my list that's actually i'm excited i
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
was going to say the only things that I
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
would even classify as remotely can I
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
could be considered horror that I think
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
I've seen in the last 10 years are well
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
you know is let the right one in really
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
really horror I mean it's kind of like
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
us a Swedish drama that happens to have
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
a vampire in it
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
yeah I haven't actually seen it in its
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
entirety yeah it's good I liked it a lot
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
ahead of me and what looks like
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
the-the-the ravaging of the film by
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
whatever the new let me in that rise
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
come out I've seen the ads for that and
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
sort of shaking my head thinking well
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
this looks like a coupling all over
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
again and what that that's always the
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
fear although i've seen some positive
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
things about you I don't know it
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
Let The Right One In was really good and
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
any other two that i guess i would put
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
in this category are 28 days later and
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
Shaun of the Dead which again more
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
prepared and start yet but still a great
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
great movie and 20 days later I really
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
liked him
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
I think one of the reasons i liked it is
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
that it was almost like a in an action
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
movie with horror pieces in it and not
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
sort of your your your usual like a
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
stereotypical horror kind of setup sure
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
you have also mentioned cloverfield
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
right Jason
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
yeah well what would you I mean that's a
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
monster movie i love cloverfield i'm one
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
of those people who thinks be and that's
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
the guy who directed the let the right
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
one in remake actually the same guy
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
believes yeah and I'll of cloverfield
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
which I know a lot of people complain
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
because it's this sort of you know it's
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
that 20-somethings at a party and it's
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
their home video footage and yeah that's
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
true but for me the idea of saying okay
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
after nine eleven we've really seen what
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
massive destruction in a major city
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
really looks like in real life so what
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
if there was a giant godzilla-like
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
monster walking through a city it would
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
be pretty horrific and you know
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
buildings with building's coming down as
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
a lot of effect beyond what it did when
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
it was a guy in a suit in a styrofoam
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
tower you know flew off in a block and I
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
found that really effective that you
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
know we you know you you take a big
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
monster and put them in New York and and
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
we know what's going to happen and it's
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
going to be terrible
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
that's my clover field tonight and it
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
has yeah the benefit and we'll go ahead
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
i was just gonna say it has the benefit
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
over the classic Japanese horror movies
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
and not having tiny japanese boys and
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
very small disturbing shorts
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
yes also know Raymond Burr members
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
present always a plus bi I would count
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
that against it
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
alright well he's he's um he's dead now
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
so we're going to horrific reanimated
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
corpse of rain well okay i might have
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
batted in
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
actually yes that would have been that
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
would have put it over the top
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
cloverfield over-the-top if the zombie
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
zombie Raymond Burr appears at the end
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
and says this has been a terrible
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
mistake and has tried to do things that
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
he should never have tried and
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
cloverfield was the result
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
now I must go any brains I don't
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
understand why you know what the hell's
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
the matter with these geeks what that
[TS]
00:09:30
◼
►
you know
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
ok so think about all the sort of horror
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
sci-fi crossovers that all the other
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
people who regularly participate on this
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►

00:11:33
◼

movie I still considered amongst the
[TS]
00:11:36
◼

best that I've at least in terms of

00:11:39
◼
►
scariness that I've ever seen

00:11:45
◼

classic skating eighties films that none
[TS]
00:11:47
◼

of which are jumping to mind at the
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
moment of course because we're trying to
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
think of the point is that in any genre
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
you're going to get the flock and you're
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
gonna get the flock that people know and
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
and becomes popular because that's one
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
of the reasons it becomes popular is one
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
of them hits and then they run into the
[TS]
00:12:00
◼
►
ground in order to make money at it and
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
it's not necessarily those of those
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
movies that are the best representatives
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
of the genre there there's the ones that
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
everybody hears about that give the
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
Sonora bad name right i mean you think
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
about and we could run down friday the
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
thirteenth and and Nightmare on Elm
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
Street but I mean for the first the
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
first and second but really the first
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
friday the 13th really good that was and
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
you know and the first nightmare as well
[TS]
00:12:26
◼

and the first nightmare was magnificent
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
and you know we they sort of became self
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
parodies after after four five or six
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
and i think in part that was why they
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
were so popular because they are they
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
weren't frightening in any way people
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
would go to one with their friends and
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
they sit around and laugh because they

your your spine quiver
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
yeah and you know and they're there are

00:16:39
◼
►
elements of that film in particular
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
everyone you when you find out you know
[TS]
00:16:43
◼
►
what happened to the child and and you

00:16:54
◼

[TS]
00:16:59
◼

that he's been hearing throughout this
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
whole picture and it you know it hits

00:17:03
◼
►
you what is happening and that's the
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
that's the horror of the thing that's
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
the horror picture and you realize when

00:17:15
◼

[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
we talked about this Jason we when we
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
did the infinite monkeys podcast about a
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
year ago talking about these pictures
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
and one of the things that came up in
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
that was this idea of the things unseen
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
are almost you know as horrible or even
[TS]
00:17:34
◼
►
more horrible than the sort of things
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
that you see on screen now within a lot
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
of these core pictures and you know that
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
the horror of of this this child being
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
murdered in a tub
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
you know it's stuck with me now for
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
for 30 years more so than any sort of
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
you know so some guy getting is giving
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
his head blown off or anything yeah
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
right yeah yeah i mean do you agree with
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
that Steve I mean I i know you have a
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
slightly different take on on some of
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
the you know some of the saw pictures
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
and hostile thing ya know I do agree
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
with that I i think that it plays I
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
think more on the sort of the the fears
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
that we had when we were kids you know
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
when we'd be walking down a dark hole in
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
our house in the middle of the night and
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
we'd hear something move and of course
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
we never see it because it was now that
[TS]
00:18:24
◼
►
I the air-conditioning kicking on and
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
blowing something over or something but
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
it's just made all the tariff all the
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
more terrifying by that fact i think
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
probably the best example of that is
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
that i can think of is is the the
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
haunting which is josh i think it was
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
actually rated g I mean there's really
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
nothing in there that's that's gory or
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
even all that frightening certainly
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
nothing in your face and there's scene i
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►

[TS]
00:19:16

the wall but it's it to this day I'm
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
still not really sure it was there or
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
whether i was just sort of imagining it
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
and I i think those eyes those tend to
[TS]
00:19:39
◼

be a lot more effective simply because
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
you know you don't really have the
[TS]
00:19:44
◼

payoff of seeing you know that the
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
bloody entrails like you do with a
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
zombie film you just have to kind of
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
continue after you've seen the film to
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
think about it and kind of wonder what
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
the hell was bad so I think it sticks in
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
your mind a bit more
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
yeah I think that's right i think that's
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
right and and I think that mean
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
you know I like I do like some of the
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
some of the gore films and we did chat
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
about this on on on email before we did
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
this and I and I I the soft films don't
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
do anything for me and then and the
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
hospital pictures don't do anything for
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
me that there have been a few that i've
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
really liked and I do love you know
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
going back to what we were discussing
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
earlier you know that some of those
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
films from the eighties some of those
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
sequel some of those bad friday 13
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
sequels or actually more than the
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
nightmare on elm street sequels to do
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
the dream warriors effect that this you
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
know that you can kind of see where you
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
know Craven was already leaning to work
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
on the screen pictures in those
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
nightmare films i think you know became
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
sort of self-consciously i'm not sure
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
how many of those he actually even held
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
I think he gave up after the second or
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
third film and just sort of how you know
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
you may be right i don't remember who
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
did that the dream wars won I do
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
remember seeing that the theater bell
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
and I remember the soundtrack for it i
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
remember is I think somebody actually
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
semi-famous was in that last shoot I
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
don't have it at my disposal so I was
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
thinking about other movies that I've
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
seen that I might I might drop into this
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
category and actually while you're
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
looking that up because I can hear the
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
sounds of the Internet in the background
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
I'll Patricia Arquette believe she was
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
going to meet the mute girl right
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
the blonde mute girls that's right cam
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
exploit yeah apparently Laurence
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
Fishburne made an appearance this
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
podcast brought to you by IMDb yeah
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
oh you internet so celebrating 20 years
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
of being the best side of the internet
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
anyway go ahead
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
well the original terminator if we think
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
about is this action movie franchise now
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
but that original terminator movie is
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
actually I think structurally maybe more
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
of a horror movie because it's this
[TS]
00:22:01
◼
►
unstoppable killing machine and yeah
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
it's coming from the future but it's so
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
it's dark and kind of gritty and he's
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
driving his car into the police station
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
and he you know he won't stop until he's
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
killed everybody and you
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
I I mean the only genre is run together
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
but when i watch that movie I thought it
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
was not just an action movie but you
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
know it was it was scary because Arnold
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
Schwarzenegger who is you know kind of
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
taken away from that in the second one
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
right where they make him the good guy
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
but in the first one is just horrible
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
right he's he's he's scary is the scary
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
endless immortal killing machine
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
yes no yeah no I'm with ya yeah i think
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
so i think there's something to that I I
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
don't ice
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
I don't see it in quite the same way as
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
maybe some of these other well no but
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
I'm just trying to justify that i'm not
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
a you know I I that I've actually seen
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
movies that might qualify but there are
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
so few that how about that how about
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
zombie movies now I'm I've seen a few
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
but I'm i know this is an entire genre
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
and it's I I feel like zombies are gonna
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
be the next vampire I cannot wait too
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
late for that they're almost over
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
exposed now
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
yeah well I'm going to this vampires are
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
completely overexposed right mommy's are
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
headed in that direction this kind of
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
this hipster zombie thing going on that
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
I'm I'm not really really good
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
all that into hipster zombies yeah
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
whenever somebody's not this army
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
themselves are hipsters but the hipsters
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
are big into zombies now huh cheapens
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
the currents it really does i mean it's
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
not as bad as say between you know is
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
our vampire fans but I trust it's still
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
sort of obnoxious so what if if one was
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
going to to shop for a a good zombie
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
movie to watch on what that what Donna
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
the dad dad was really going on to the
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
dead is it and it has also the advantage
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
that it'sit's really also more of an
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
action movie than a horror movie in a
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
lot of ways there's a lot of commandos
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
running through the mall blowing the
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
heads off a zombie zombies themselves
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
are are sort of comical in a way I mean
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
they they lumber around they have this
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
kind of bluish cast to the skin so they
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
they almost are more cartoonish than
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
really horrific and and it has also this
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
nice undercurrent of George Romero's
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
social commentary which is a big plus
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
basically the whole thing is the screen
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
on consumerism but a pretty good one I
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
think it has
[TS]
00:24:27
◼
►
the gunk and it has the gonk which is
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
yeah easily the best most iconic horror
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
tune ever i think with the possible
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
exception of the halloween Thames I i
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
thought the remake those for the
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
Snyder's we make it was pretty good yeah
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
but again I expected to dislike it
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
because of the the whole fact that they
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
turned into the the running zombies as
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
opposed to the lumbering zombies
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
yes that's that's the great
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
philosophical today it's the 28 days
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
later style right zombies action zombies
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
but a it ended up being a great film in
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
its own right i think it would probably
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
have improved a lot of people's views if
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
they hadn't used the dawn of the dead
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
name i think they were there using that
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
to get butts in seats but had they
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
called it something completely different
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
I i think it would have been a lot more
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
acclaimed by at least people in horror
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
community I certainly would have been
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
more likely to watch it early on rather
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
than grudgingly and with the expectation
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
that i was going to hate it but it
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
turned out to be as an excellent film
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
and its own right and also a lot of time
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
a lot of action / horror i think that
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
one of the great opening sequences in
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
recent memory haha because we see ya
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
head shot just in the hell's that guy's

[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
supporting character and and he bites it
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
and then at the opening the one of the
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
early early scenes he ends up getting
[TS]
00:26:03

►
consumed by his young daughter and it's

[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
legitimately funny and I and has
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
legitimate scary stuff in it to win it
[TS]
00:27:04
◼
►

[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
were that you appreciated Shauna that as
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
much as you did because I think to

[TS]
00:27:11
◼

be intimately aware with this sort of
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
zombie clichés that see I think it's

Kirkman's comic book series which I've
[TS]
00:27:36

[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
and and they're definitely there i'm
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
sure in the show there will be lots of
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
zombies getting their heads blown off
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
but you know it's also a drama about

00:27:48
◼
►
what happens to the people who were

00:27:50
◼
►
trying to survive the zombie apocalypse

it's a great concept it's a perfect kind
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
of vehicle for a TV show and they're

first season 6 episode that sounds like
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
they were really convinced and now the
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
buzz is so good and you know the rumor

00:28:18
◼

00:31:08
◼
►
Bob and but you know there isn't
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
anything that stands out as particularly
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
scary in it
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
i I really appreciate a lot of the the
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
long shots which of course is pretty
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
much what you get with cubic write those
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
slow steady cam shots yeah i think the
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
whole opening is up this long trek up
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
the mountain to get to the Overlook
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
Hotel and that's that's pretty striking
[TS]
00:31:30
◼
►
and of course the big pans down the long
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
hallways are interesting mean it's it's
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
not particularly true to the text of the
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
book but it's beautifully directed but
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
again not terribly scary i mean there's
[TS]
00:31:41
◼
►
a few scenes that I think people
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
remember just because they saw it when
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
they were young that I guess the blood
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
rolling out of the elevator and then the
[TS]
00:31:48
◼
►
two little twins twins right
[TS]
00:31:50
◼
►
22 and then those of us who are a little
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
older when we saw it appreciated the
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
naked lady getting out of bathtub
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
yeah but then that we really really it
[TS]
00:31:58
◼
►
did as it usually does
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
so yeah a good film not really a high on
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
my list but good i do want to go back to
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
the saw and hostel that had been
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
mentioned earlier torture porn
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
yeah I have to but i have to mention it
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
because I know that that term really
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
turns you on
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
well it's just one of those blanket
[TS]
00:32:19
◼
►
terms that gets applied to a vast swath
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
of horror cinema kind of unfairly I
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
think just because there are squeamish
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
people who don't want to watch this
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
stuff and so you know i did not a big
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
fan of of terms like that but and and
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
saw in particular I'm not sure really
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
deserves it because you don't really see
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
much of anything and saw largely because
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
it's constant jump cuts and you have no
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
freaking clue what's going on in a
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
moment in the film but I've only seen
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
the first two saw films and both of them
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
basically you're looking at these sort
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
of elaborate traps that have been set up
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
for for the jigsaw killers victims and
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
very rarely if at all i think do you
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
ever see any of the actual results of
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
his contraptions but the horror is the
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
situation there right in where
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
and generally have off your arm in order
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
to escape right whatever it is and
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
generally it
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
it cuts away and you hear scream and and
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
and that's pretty much it so I'm not
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
sure torture porn really was ever
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
relevant to those those films are they
[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
any good
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
shitty movie was relevant could do that
[TS]
00:33:28
◼
►
the first film in particular which has
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
some of the worst acting I think I've
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
ever seen a horror movie and that's
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
that's saying a lot because I've watched
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
a lot of Italian flicks but yeah a 1l is
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
is miserable he's one of the I think the
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
directors and writers of the film and
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
the other one is a guy from the princess
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
bride westley from the princess bride
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
ariel with cary elwes oh my God he's
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
he's over the top and his accent is just
[TS]
00:33:55
◼
►
magnificently bad and he's trying to do
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
an American accent but he slips into his
[TS]
00:34:00
◼
►
British frequently and man it's really
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
bad stuff and then of course the jump
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
cuts which kind of ruin everything
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
so so so saw but as it to be condemned
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
because it's bad
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
not because it's torture porn agreed and
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
it really the it's particularly
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
disappointing because it's a good
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
concept
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
I mean that it kind of stolen from seven
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
in a lot of ways with good execution it
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
could have been a good film and the
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
execution was far from good hostel on
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
the other hand which does show a bit
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
more of the blood and gore i think is is
[TS]
00:34:39
◼
►
quite a good film it is fairly gross but
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
a lot of the subtext of it is is really
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
less of a hey look at the blood and guts
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
isn't that great and more
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
this is what happens when you treat
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
people as things so what's the premise
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
of hostile the premise of hostel which i
[TS]
00:35:01
◼
►
hate to ruin in case there's anybody who
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
hasn't already heard the presence that
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
the time the premise of hospital but
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
there's two young Americans and i think
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
a Norwegian guy or something that are
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
traveling europe post-college and
[TS]
00:35:16
◼
►
kind of making the way from town to town
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
and having their way with the women and
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
basically being ugly americans and/or
[TS]
00:35:23
◼
►
Norwegians as the case may be and
[TS]
00:35:25
◼
►
somebody directs them to some some other
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
former russian state can't recall which
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
one it is at the moment to a particular
[TS]
00:35:37
◼
►
town in this state and into a particular
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
hostile there so they they hear that you
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
know this is basically off the hook
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
there's wild sex and drugs and so they
[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►
immediately get on a train and head
[TS]
00:35:47
◼
►
well it turns out this hospital is
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
basically a front for an organization
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
that allows rich rich perverts to
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
violently murder people of various
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
nationalities I think you pay a premium
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
for Americans so it's it's like the most
[TS]
00:36:06
◼
►
dangerous game comes in a way but they
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
there's nobody gets a running start
[TS]
00:36:10
◼
►
basically they're lured in by basically
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
loose women that are pulling in a kind
[TS]
00:36:19
◼
►
of a bounty for attracting the guys and
[TS]
00:36:22
◼
►
drugging them and then they end up you
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
know in the torture chamber where
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
whoever the highest bidder is gets to
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
come in and have their way with them you
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
know one of them's more interested in
[TS]
00:36:32
◼
►
unit from kind of a surgery perspective
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
so there's a guy who comes in any sort
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
of practices his surgery on this
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
unsuspecting guy and but they're there
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
are there's genuine horror in it it's
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
not i think that where it's gotten a bad
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
rap is just because it involves torture
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
but in fact it's not it's clearly not
[TS]
00:36:51
◼
►
glorifying torture in any way I mean
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
you're you're you're obviously watching
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
the thing you're supposed to be
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
disgusted with what's going on and you
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
are you know I'm sure there are a few
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
audience members that are sitting around
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
you know with it with a very different
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
view of things but it also has some some
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
really good direction that sort of
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
surprised me coming from eli roth has
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
only really done i think two films at
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
that point there's one in particular
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
that I think of where we discover what's
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
been going on this whole time
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
and in our sort of protagonist who
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
really is kind of a scumbag is being
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
dragged down this hallway towards his
[TS]
00:37:33
◼
►
chamber and as he goes down the hall he
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
gets glimpses through open doorways of
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
what's going on kind of shadow off in
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
the distance in other rooms and we see
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
there's just kind of all sorts of weird
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
twisted stuff going on you can't really
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
see what it is but it's got this kind of
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
great fun house atmosphere to it means
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
nothing fun is happening but it's just
[TS]
00:37:55
◼
►
it's got that it i find it hard to put
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
into words but it's it's it's it's
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
twisted and it's kind of got its classic
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
I think
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
alright so that's hostile yeah i know
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
it's it's a better film that has been
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
given credit for is what i'm trying to
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
say don't you think though that you know
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
when Ross did that mean specifically
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
well I mean when you have a shot like
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
that with you know going down a hallway
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
with the funhouse like atmosphere mean
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
don't you think that mean part of that I
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
think I mean he he gets off on that I
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
think don't you think don't you think it
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
will because you think we're given only
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
think there's there's an audience that
[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
gets off on that too
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
I don't doubt that there is but i don't
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
think that's what he's shooting for me I
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
obviously I don't know what's in Eli
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
Ross head but it's it's pretty clear
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
just from the the way that the sort of
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
organization is is a is portrayed that
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
they're not they're not the heroes in
[TS]
00:38:54
◼
►
this piece mean there were supposed to
[TS]
00:38:56

00:40:12
◼

first really yeah i mean there was this
[TS]

the scene that I happened to catch

[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
certainly not to the point where where
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
it should be dismissed as pure schlock
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
just because of the fact that it has
[TS]
00:41:20
◼

some of that in it

00:42:11
◼

[TS]
00:42:14
◼
►
sitting around our newspaper office in
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
college we had this this comic book that
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
was released by the production company
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
that I presumed was based on kind of the
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
detail that we would see unfolding in
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
the film and it was sort of entertaining
[TS]
00:42:31
◼
►
and it did had some kind of creepy stuff
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
in it and then I went to film and
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
discovered my head for a horrible
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
feeling that well that's Jennifer
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
Aniston notwithstanding it was smoking
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
hot in that movie
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
wow I think I think the implants are you
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
ready with that time so yeah a bit
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
the rapper and barely been taken off but
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
yeah I mean it's it's basically a pun
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
filled extravaganza of awful slick troll
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
to its no one's not quite on that level
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
of bad i mean there's a coherent plot
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
and make the monsters in fact the
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
leprechaun and and not a goblin which I
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
think was one of the complaints about
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
troll isn't Warwick Davis just running
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
around the whole film saying where's
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
Mego hoping that was a question that was
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
what was in the comic book and we had
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
hours of fun just walking around saying
[TS]
00:43:20
◼
►
we're starting a chord and then as it
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
turned out I think he'd said it maybe
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
once in the film but he does recite some
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
great irish leprechaun poetry as I think
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
he's a jumping on a guy's chest with a
[TS]
00:43:33
◼
►
pogo stick
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
now you see I'm very glad product
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
leprechaun and then there is a scene i
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
think where he's driving down the road
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
in this tiny go-kart and I think he's
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
going like 90 miles an hour and it's
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
it's hilarious it's got to sort of three
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
stooges vibe to it it's it's a beautiful
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
are there Shirley's I don't recall if
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
there are any shillelaghs it seems like

00:43:56
◼
►

[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
limericks
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
yeah I believe his poetry is is is in
[TS]
00:44:04
◼
►
the Limerick meter yes
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
ah that i think the the the best use of
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
the Leprechaun myth and i have no idea
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
whether this is actually part of the
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
Leprechaun it or not is is it turns out
[TS]
00:44:15
◼
►
that the Leprechaun can be thwarted by
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
distracting him with shoes if he sees
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
shoes if he if he runs across the shoe
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
he will have to stop and clean the chute
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
until it's shiny and so at one point of
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
course the heroes discovered this and
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
they basically stopped him in his tracks
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
by taking off their shoes in her little
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
bit but now that that is a fine film
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
no it's not it has its moments it is
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
their gayness gosh I don't know but that
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
was interviewed it did you drink
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
Guinness when before you went to see I
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
don't think this was the college days so
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
Guinness was sort of out of our range i
[TS]
00:44:55
◼
►
think it was the the white can with the
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
blue striped just said beer on it which
[TS]
00:44:59
◼
►
you know so it's basically to every
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
irish stereotype possible pretty much
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
nice and then I thought they actually
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
ended up doing I think three or four
[TS]
00:45:08
◼
►
sequels of that film of course they'd
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
including I think leprechaun in the hood
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
which is supposedly sort of good i've
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►

[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
inequality and there's on singleton
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
directive I heard that yet sitsit sort
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
of heartbreaking at the end with the
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
Leprechaun doesn't get to go to college
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
because he gets a shot to drive by he
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
had such potential
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
they're always after me playing I think
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
there's a leprechaun in space as well

[TS]
00:47:16

saves return of the living dead i think
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
from from falling completely out of
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
favors is it went for a light-hearted
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
tone yeah yeah I know it was it was
[TS]
00:47:25
◼
►
really it was clearly meant to be right

00:47:27
◼
►
more of a constant you can't really I
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
don't think he can dismiss it completely
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
because it wasn't really going for
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
seriousness and and I think it works no
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
no it's not that i think i think it's
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
frankly i think that the hair
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
well it works well as a period piece
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
though yeah
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
yes it's um someday they'll tell the

passing through the lives of a vampire
[TS]

while they just never age and stay the

same age and you know there's some
[TS]
00:48:58
◼

there's some really good stuff the

hydrogen this boy is a is a bullet as
[TS]
00:49:03
◼

you might expect and it turns out he's
[TS]
00:49:05
◼

got a friend who's a brutal killer so
[TS]
00:49:08
◼

always applied interesting things occur
[TS]
00:49:11
◼

and it's all in in the cold dark of a

00:49:15
◼

Scandinavian winter so everybody's

00:49:17

depressed and it's cold out miserable

it's good while we're on the subject of
[TS]
00:49:22

sort of offbeat non-traditional vampire
[TS]
00:49:25
◼

films i should probably put in a
[TS]
00:49:26
◼

recommendation for a movie called Martin
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
which was another early George Romero
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
oh yeah and less of a vampire film then
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
kind of a an examination of a very
[TS]
00:49:40
◼

troubled youth but there's it's it
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
follows a young lad named Martin in very
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
impoverished city somewhere I forget
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
whether it's probably Pittsburgh because
[TS]
00:49:50
◼
►
everything is Pittsburgh one is Romero
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
and it's never really entirely clear
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
whether he's actually a vampire and I'm
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
is the way he goes about attacking his
[TS]
00:50:01
◼

victims he actually uses a razor blade
[TS]
00:50:02
◼

miss Rindge and it's it's it's
[TS]
00:50:05
◼

interesting largely because you never
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
entirely sure whether this is just a
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
twisted sort of a murderous serial
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
killer type or whether he's actually a
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
vampire that sort of moved on to more
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
efficient techniques and he's he's
[TS]
00:50:19
◼

living with his grandfather who was

convinced that the kids vampire and he's

always walking around the house with a
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
across sort of following him around
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
that's an interesting film definitely
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
worth checking out a little slow by

00:50:36
◼

[TS]
00:52:50
◼

it is again a canadian film and they
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
try to bury those as soon as possible
[TS]
00:52:53
◼
►
because I think I that it
[TS]
00:52:56
◼
►
Canadians I think their films are
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
subsidized by the government right
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
believe that not sure they are think so
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
i think that a good percentage that film
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
was made on the dole so and I think they
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
have to tape over the video tapes they
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
used to make them because they don't buy
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
new ones so they have to recycle them
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
they playing for a while and then they
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
take them they have their sent to
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
Toronto their demagnetized and there we
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
reused yeah that's correct that that's
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
how Canadian now filmworks that's my
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
understanding
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
I could be wrong anyway highly
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
recommended probably of the the newer
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
films that I would recommend that
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
amongst the batch of the ones that I've
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
seen lately particularly for those of
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
you who aren't you aren't big on Gor
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►

[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
through a lot of issues it is it's the
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
podcasting as therapy and I've got some
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
things to put a mind to my netflix queue
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
and now i understand more why i'm a i'm
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
a big baby who's afraid of horror movies
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
let's talk about the understanding
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
really yeah well that's how you start
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
the learning and growing is is with the
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
understanding horror is our friend
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
yes it really is really the one thing we
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
haven't talked about really is why
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
people are are too gutless to watch
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
horror movies or did we didn't really
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
cover that anymore why or why they want
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
to watch them i mean right i mean that
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
their argument if I can represent my
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
people who aren't on the podcast with us
[TS]
00:54:31
◼
►
is why would I want to see that stuff I
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
you know it's icky I don't want I don't
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
want to see it you can flip it around
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
and say why do you want to see it
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
well the same reason that people go to
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
see tearjerkers mean you go to see
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
movies generally to elicit some kind of
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
an emotional response right and they
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
don't all have to be uplifting or you
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
know who that guy is having trouble in
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
his job
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
it could also be the simple kind of
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
fight or flight of oh my god I almost
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
died or if somebody tried to kill me
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
I think it's a lot harder
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
for a filmmaker to successfully scare
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
you than it is for them to make you sad
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
I mean you know they throw a dead kid at
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
you and all of a sudden you're you know
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
you're weeping but to successfully scare
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
person I think takes a lot more
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
ingenuity a lot more technique right but
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
the dead kid is a zombie and he's been
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
thrown at you in a catapult then you got
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
some horror of that then you got some
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
awesome dead kids and catapults that are
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
zombies be kidding me i don't think i've
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►

[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
pirate that's like the best thing ever
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
ninja pirate dead kids ambiance a
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
catapult my catapult so yeah I mean I
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
kind of admire the technique of the
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
horror film particularly the ones that
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
are genuinely scary and the the reaction
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
I get from a horror you know I enjoy
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
good to keep tearjerker to but you know
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
I get a little more of a charge out of a
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
good scare
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
I think it it reaffirms why we're alive
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
I and another way but better them than
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
us exactly i mean it's good to be in in
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
mortal fear every once in awhile and a
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
good horror film will do that it will
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
put you in the shoes of the protagonist
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
so that you know you you're you're
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
feeling as though you're in in mortal
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
terror right everybody in the movie
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
theater gets out alive in an hour and a
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
half later you you feel pretty damn good
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
because you survived
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
it's a rush yeah it's an escape that
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
makes a lot of sense
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►

[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
from even the films that are relatively
[TS]
00:56:50
◼

bloodless but it just scary that scary
