By the way, since I am the producer and I get to write these blurbs I would like to point out that zombies are undoubtedly paranormal and make fantastic subjects for Halloween movies. We will see if the hosts ever actually read these descriptions, won't we?

Humor in Podcast Length
00:00:30
Speaker
Can we release a one minute episode?
00:00:34
Speaker
Will they allow that? We can. yeah I really think we should release just that.
00:00:41
Speaker
I think it's really funny. There's a YouTube short for you, Grayson. Heck yeah. Yeah. Ready to go. Marketing material.
When Does a Girl Become a Woman?
00:00:57
Speaker
Welcome to My Top Everything. I'm Marian. I'm Kara. And I'm Mara. And some days you fake it till you make it. Am I right, ladies? Yeah. We love being called ladies.
00:01:10
Speaker
better than ma'am. Ugh, girl. I'm a grown-ass woman. Girl is hard. It's a hard one. That's a hard no for me. If a guy calls a woman girl girls, girls, girls
00:01:26
Speaker
You shouldn't be having this.
00:01:29
Speaker
Sorry, I'm putting it in. I've finished my sentences. yeah I shouldn't be allowed to date. Yeah. Or talk to women. yeah i do When do women become women? Like when there's when are men's, let's educate the general population. mean, that when do you feel ah comfortable calling a boy a man?
00:01:50
Speaker
Like 30. Yeah. I mean, Okay. All right. The double standard. i don't know. 50.
00:01:58
Speaker
I would say like 18 or maybe like 25. Like I would probably call ah a guy who's under 25. probably still feels like a boy, especially the older I get, the more boy he feels. yeah and And age is always like i can totally see a 60-year-old man calling a bunch of 30-year-old women girls. That makes sense to me.
00:02:19
Speaker
yeah Especially if you knew them as children. Yes. That's fine. If it's like you're a 60 year old man and you're calling other 60 year old women like, oh, let's not forget about the girls.
00:02:32
Speaker
ah No. So there's like an age thing. There's a relational thing. I don't know if I, feel like it's around 18, 21 when we start getting all of our rights, you know, that's when you become a woman or a man.
00:02:46
Speaker
What? No. Hard, hard no. Hard no? Hard no. Is it 13 when you're confirmed? No. No. i think, I think the news uses 18. Like they'll say 19 year old woman. Yeah. 16 year old girl. Yeah.
00:03:00
Speaker
Yeah. But have you talked? Female. i think they'll say female. doesn' No, no, no, no, no. No, because it'll be like 21 year old woman lost on hike. And I remember being 21 years old, reading something like that and being like, I'd be described as a woman, not a young lady, and you know.
00:03:16
Speaker
But what we really need to address is that people are always like, well, I call the informal for men is guys. What was that noise? It's like a little howl. Sounds baby boo.
00:03:28
Speaker
It is bandy. I bet you can actually hear it in the recording. I'm sure you can. oh I don't think so. yeah Well, he does that. it Boys.
00:03:40
Speaker
Okay. you You, call them men and then
Reclaiming and Using Labels
00:03:44
Speaker
informal guys. Now it's really hard because people will be like, well, what do I call gals? Yeah. Gals.
00:03:50
Speaker
It is like you would say, i saw a gal the other day. I used to do chick, but I can see how chick is also like weird. But I think chick is up there with bitch. Like those are my words. I can use them. But as a man, you're not allowed to, I'm reclaiming that.
00:04:04
Speaker
Yeah. I'm, I'm hanging out with my bitches, dude. If a, if a 60, I'm hanging out with my chicks. Uh, if a 60 year old man said i was talking to a gal, I'd be okay with that.
00:04:18
Speaker
be like, yeah. Informal woman. Like we don't know her age. If he says I was talking to a girl and he means a 60 year old woman. That's weird. you No one is doing that. They do it on Survivor. All the old Survivor.
00:04:34
Speaker
it doesn't matter how old the women are. It's the girls and the men. And it's very like yeah. yeah It's really that's like How have they not put a stop to that? They'll call it like an all girls alliance. What?
00:04:48
Speaker
yeah Are you serious? Pretty offensive. All right.
Top Three Halloween Movies Discussion
00:04:51
Speaker
ah Our topic today is top three Halloween movies. Yeah, boy. the fall mood. Grab your little blankie or your snuggie. Light a candle. Light a candle. Put your twinklies on Maybe just like yeah toss some pumpkin spice on your face.
00:05:13
Speaker
um to Get your mask in man pumpkin spice. yeah Have you had your PSL yet? If not, I have not. Yeah. Go get a PSL while listening to this. Not from Starbucks.
00:05:24
Speaker
Yeah. job. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody here would get a PSL from Starbucks. Uh, for the record, i legitimate Mara here speaking in case, uh, our voices all sound the same, which might be the case sometimes. Uh, I do not go to Starbucks anymore. I used to religiously go though. Very proud of you. yeah don't Yeah. And I found, I really don't miss it.
00:05:46
Speaker
But do you have a replacement or you just know like coffee to go? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah yeah I like the local places or caribou.
00:05:57
Speaker
Shout out to caribou. Yeah. They have a vegan breakfast now. So caribou. They do? Josh was, our friend was literally just complaining the other day about how caribou doesn't have like a vegetarian option. Yeah. They have a flatbread with ah veggies and a like vegan cheese and a vegan egg, I think.
00:06:18
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah. Okay. It's good. It's got like a crispy. It's really good. Actually, I'd highly recommend it. I have to restrict myself because otherwise I'll get tired of it. Yeah. So I have it maybe like once a month. Okay. Cause I did say, I think they do. then I didn't, didn't fact check it. Yeah. It's not your, nah, it's not my, your dietary constraint.
00:06:38
Speaker
It's not my boy husband, your man husband. Yeah.
00:06:45
Speaker
All right. I'll go first. Okay. Yes. um My number three top Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus. Classic. And I'm going Number three.
00:06:57
Speaker
Yeah. It gets better from there, please. Let's hope. Yeah. hope so. i think that this is a classic from the... I think it's from the 90s, right? I don't know. um Yeah.
00:07:07
Speaker
Bette Midler? Is that right? Yeah. What? It might be 2000. If I had to guess, I think it was 2000. I'm going to go 95. Mara? I don't know. Okay. ah It was released when we were... 1997. Oh.
00:07:21
Speaker
Is Grayson looking it up? Yeah. Any other guesses? no No. 1993. Whoa. That was closest. Yeah. That's great work. Like as old as us. Yeah.
00:07:32
Speaker
Almost. Yes. So Hocus Pocus is my top three. No, my number three top Halloween movie because A, it brings up the childhood vibes. It's got a cozy feel.
00:07:43
Speaker
There's a little bit of spook to the to the situation, but Probably. There's a lot more than a little bit of spook. They kill a child within the first two minutes of that movie. Yeah, but like comically and like. No, no, no, not comically. I don't remember that movie ever being scary.
00:07:58
Speaker
It's not scary. That's the thing. is It is very sad right at the beginning, though, because it's a little girl. Yeah. And then when Binks. Yeah, it's it's actually very. Right. She's the one that dies in the beginning.
00:08:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's his little sister and then he gets turned into a cat and then he's basically trying to redeem himself before. like he's It's very sad. Yeah, it is sad.
00:08:19
Speaker
He lives on for like hundreds of years, can't die, etc. He's all alone. His family doesn't remember. like he doesn't He's not recognized by his family. Well, yeah, because he's cat. He's a cat. But then he has to... Why are you looking like that?
00:08:32
Speaker
It's crazy. But it's like heat they lost both their children, but they didn't. It's very sad. Anyway, it gets me in the feels. But specifically, we used to... Marion and I used to watch it when we were waiting for Central Academy. don't know if supposed to say full names. Anyway. mean We already have talked about Central and Lincoln. People know these things. so People know these things. They could find us on LinkedIn.
00:08:57
Speaker
And see these things. And see my face. um So we used to wait for Central one year. And there was this cafe next to Lincoln called the Lucky Penny. And it's no longer in business because she would give us free shit all the time. And I assume everyone else. I think that like spot was just cursed. Like it was always doing changeover. Lucky Penny was there for like a year, year and a half maybe. Subway was there a couple years. Yeah. It was just like not a good spot. And you can't really rely on height. 200 square foot.
00:09:24
Speaker
You can't rely on the high school lunch crowd as your main business. It's not going to work out. Yeah. So we used to eat, I presume?
00:09:35
Speaker
Yeah, we would get, she would give us free sodas. And would get like grilled cheese and chips. It was like two bucks for each of us. yeah And then we would play Moncala.
00:09:46
Speaker
And we'd watch Hocus And she had Hocus Pocus like 24-7 year round, and nonstop. Like that's all she showed was Hocus Pocus. yeah So we would catch different parts of Hocus Pocus.
00:09:58
Speaker
every day like I don't know that I've ever sat down and watched Hocus Pocus from beginning to end because you don't need to ah my attention span for it is about 10 minutes yeah and I should be having a side game while I do it yeah That movie gets my full attention when I watch it. Oh, yeah?
00:10:18
Speaker
Yeah, i love that movie. It's not on my list. I haven't seen the second one. I'd like to see Hocus Pocus 2. There's a second one, right? There is a second one. It made my long list. Okay. I'm not sure. But no, that was... Actually, I have seen it. It was like two years ago yeah but it was released. Yeah, i didn't I haven't seen it.
00:10:32
Speaker
Oh, okay. We should watch it this year. We should watch it. This is a good segue. Hocus Pocus 2 is my number three. and I actually think that Hocus Pocus 2 is better than the first Hocus Pocus because it's like the first Hocus Pocus is kind of drags, honestly. If you watch it now.
00:10:52
Speaker
ah In my opinion, it just like you takes a long time setup. You just said haven't sat down and watched it from start to beginning. How can you say it drags as an adult? I watched it i watched it in preparation. Matt had never seen either of them, so we watched...
00:11:07
Speaker
The first one. So you have seen it. And then the second one. i didn't I didn't finish the first one when we watched it. I sat down with him for about 45 minutes and I was like, oh my God, I don't remember it being like this.
00:11:19
Speaker
Then I went away. He finished it. And we watched the second one. And I was like, already I'm enjoying this a lot more. Like a lot more snappy with the jokes and the songs and...
00:11:32
Speaker
you know it's it's basically the exact same plot which why is hollywood doing this where they always just they cannot for the life of them think anymore of a sequel that is not the exact same story there's a difference between a sequel and a reboot yep if you want to do a reboot do a reboot but don't do a sequel but that's secretly a reboot yeah and that that is kind of what hocus pocus 2 is but ok i think I think it's just got a lot... It's more interesting and the witches aren't bad guys. Because I think when they made the first Hocus Pocus, they didn't realize like... Like you're basically...
00:12:13
Speaker
kind of enamored with really terrible people. Hocus Pocus 2 is to Hocus Pocus as Wicked is to Wizard of Oz. Exactly.
00:12:26
Speaker
Yes. Hocus Pocus 2. Yeah, that's really good. Yeah. Hocus Pocus 2 basically turns the Hocus Pocus villains into good guys by giving backstory. Yeah, it's exactly like that.
00:12:40
Speaker
And that's why I like it better. Because I think it also, then you can watch I haven't, but I imagine if you know, if you're familiar enough with Hocus Pocus 2, then when you watch Hocus Pocus 1 again, you like have all that context and you don't feel as like, I'm kind of rooting for these witches who killed a little girl in front of me. So, yeah.
00:13:00
Speaker
Yeah. But we should watch it with Mara. So that way side games are necessary. Side crafts, probably the critics agree with your assessment, but the people agree with yours. Yeah.
00:13:11
Speaker
I didn't. Well, she hasn't said which one she likes better. Oh, well, the look on your face when she said Hocus Pocus 2 made me think it's probably not on your list. I didn't think that that would make Marion's list.
00:13:22
Speaker
Neither of these. i read Well, i think they're both very like quintessential Halloween movies. Those are ones that... But was trying to think of like quint like Halloween movies that actually keep my attention because that is a harder list then because a lot of them are kind of like background noise to me.
00:13:42
Speaker
And Hocus Pocus 2 is one that has my attention from start to finish. Nice. Cool. no my number My number three ja as the Japanese cult classic, House.
00:13:58
Speaker
Oh my god Which was produced in 1977, so it's an oldie. It's a film about a schoolgirl traveling with her six friends.
00:14:09
Speaker
to her alien auntie's house in the country where they come face to face with some of the craziest supernatural shit I've ever seen. yope um And in researching this, I found out that, so Toho Films is the the production company. Yeah.
00:14:27
Speaker
um And they wanted to produce a similar film to Jaws since Jaws was so successful in America. ah And so they do it. do Yeah.
00:14:39
Speaker
like Yeah. like What would people here be scared of? Because the Japanese people aren't scared of sharks. Let's do a house. Well, so I don't know because then um so this is the director's name.
00:14:53
Speaker
Will that pick it up? no he but be Nobuhiko Obeashi. didn't want to butcher that. Nice job. ah Nobuhito Oshiyashi, he was actually like discussing ideas with his preteen daughter at the time, and she said something super iconic. Shout out to that girl.
00:15:12
Speaker
Girl, pretty teen. Yep. I was thinking it. That's right. And don't remember her name, but she said adults only think about things they understand. Everything stays on that boring human level while children can come up with things they that can't be explained.
00:15:28
Speaker
And I really think that House nailed that prompt. Yep. Yeah. Literally, I cannot understand how they got... No. So good. It's a fever dream. Yeah. What's the first time? Was it when we went to see it? Was that everyone's first time? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:15:42
Speaker
All four of us. Yeah. Yeah. We should go again. Yeah. when What year was that? Was that 2018? It must have been 2018. Yeah. yeah Because it was Grayson there too. yeah So yeah, 2018, because there's like a cult following in a the Twin Cities with it.
00:15:58
Speaker
And I remember I was like, oh, I want to do Rocky Horror Picture Show, but then I couldn't find it or it was sold out. So I was like, oh well, we'll do house then because I've like heard about it.
00:16:09
Speaker
um And it really lived up to the hype. We should go see it again. Yeah, I would. like And I don't even want to tell you about the things that you know see in this film because you just need to see. It's truly magical. It's like...
00:16:21
Speaker
like prepared magical it's like if What the fuck were a movie? That's just kind of like that's just the whole thing. That's what all the that's this Were there subtitles in there was it only in Japanese?
00:16:35
Speaker
It was subtitle. Okay, that's the subtitles should just say what the fuck It did keep my attention the entire time. yeah Yeah. I was like, what's going to happen? And there's a community here that like knows it and like responds to it kind of Rocky horror style. Wow. Yeah. Because also like they do crazy things, but then there's also like um a nod to um the director grew up in Hiroshima and he lost a lot of friends. And so like there's also like...
00:17:04
Speaker
um nods or like hints about like grief yeah about surrounding that yeah tragedy so wow research that's if we still gave out points to give you point for research yeah well figured with you i'd have to producer year
Practical Magic: Sisterhood and Sequel
00:17:23
Speaker
synopsis she's phoning it yeah hi just a reminder i'm phoning it thanks yeah nice yeah that's a really good one i would 100 see that one again i don't feel like i usually want to see halloween movies again either so this so that that's a big one for me yeah okay my number two top halloween movie is practical magic no yeah it's her number one i assume yeah of course
00:17:51
Speaker
You put this as your number two. I did. I did. ah Okay. Let's see what you have to say. I see you have make my list intentionally. Wow. yeah well I'll start by saying I love anything Sandra Bullock is in I think she's a goddess I also love the whole way i love witch stuff yeah that's like they you know like there's subsects of Halloween there's like zombies and there's like murder and whatever witches I love that shit yeah um i I like that it's kind of like the movie version of the um the chicks Earl what's that show that moved that song Earl's Gotta Die. Earl's Gotta Die. Well, it is a book.
00:18:30
Speaker
o I didn't know that. Yeah. Have you read the book? No. It also seems kind of like a play on Thelma and Louise because it's... No, I don't know that. Don't know her. Yeah. Never met her. What? But I have met the 1998 release directed by Griffin Dunn Dune.
00:18:51
Speaker
There's two N's in there. I don't know. Wait, I'm sorry. don't know. There's like, no, we don't have to talk about Thelma and Louise. We're talking about Halloween movies right now. They're nowhere in the room with us. Are they in the room with us? and I mean, no they're dead. They're super dead because they die at the end of Thelma and Louise.
00:19:08
Speaker
Spoiler! Well, I guess they don't die. the whole You've never seen the iconic? There's an iconic freeze frame where they're driving their convertible like over a huge canyon, full blast. and Mara and I just shrugged. Yeah, whatever.
00:19:24
Speaker
Cool. So, yes yeah. nineteen So, 19... What? 1998? It's like literally ride or die. like Ride or die is like... I would be surprised if ride or die isn't from Thelma and Louise.
00:19:35
Speaker
It's your ride or die. You're supposed to be phoning felt it in a high Yeah. Okay. Let's talk about practical magic and why it's only your number two.
00:19:45
Speaker
Yeah. What else do you have to say? ah let me know when I can come in. Oh, I thought you already were. No, I have more.
00:19:53
Speaker
i like the I like that there's the sisters, but then there's also the ancestors. And there's like that generation of women and them being like outsiders, but they have each other. And the dude is just such a bad fucking dude where you're like, yeah, kill him.
00:20:08
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I like that, you know, one of them embraces magic and the other it really doesn't. I just like the whole thing. Yeah. Makes me happy. um NPR had or a really good article. I'm just out here quoting bitches today.
00:20:27
Speaker
Michelle Seguera from NPR wrote an article about this movie. Okay. um And I feel like it person perfectly encapsulates like what I love about it.
00:20:38
Speaker
And it's just called Practical Magic Taught Me About Life, Love, and the Importance of Sisterhood. Aww. Yeah. and she like talked about how the movie had different meanings for her like um as she like aged and was still watching it and like yeah the bond of like sisterhood throughout it um really nice but I'm excited for what for Practical Magic 2 next year Is it a thing? Yeah, they filmed it.
00:21:10
Speaker
Did they film it after the book? theyve They filmed it just recently, Practical Magic 2. It's series. Yeah, so I don't know if it's the second book.
00:21:21
Speaker
But the whole point is that the cult following has gotten big enough because when they did the movie, um Nicole Kidman, and maybe you had this, but like they both thought it would never basically come to actually get produced because it was just this weird little movie. And at in the 90s, everyone was like, why would we want a story about two women who were...
00:21:44
Speaker
You know, it's just like, it's like a a matriarchal story. Like there's basically no men in it and they're and so, and it was um a project where ah they were like, okay, I guess you just sweep that under the rug. Like nothing will ever come of that. And then they both were super excited to get to film.
00:22:06
Speaker
um Nicole Kinman and Sandra Bullock were super excited to get to film. the sequel like 20 30 years later i so i'm so excited for it you because you know it'll be paced yeah hocus pocus different yeah it won't be paced like a 90s movie although i think the pacing for the original it's so good yeah i i don't think anything i i've seen this movie a lot yeah um oh the part where they dance in the kitchen yeah all for that it's just like it's just so good
00:22:41
Speaker
i am I didn't put this on my list because I can zone out really easily during it and like come back in. So that's why it's not on my list because I was like, I do like it, but unless it's like there's certain moments where I like lock in. Otherwise, I kind of just come in in and out.
00:23:01
Speaker
But it is such a vibe. Mm-hmm. Yeah. going to quote the article. Yeah, please. um Also, it's not Michelle. It's Marielle. yeah M-A-R-I-E-L-L-E.
00:23:13
Speaker
Nice call up. Anyway, love isn't just about happy endings. It's an ongoing choice to treat someone else with care and respect. Real love is beautiful because when you do grow to love someone, their idiosyncrasies and their details become so sacred to you, so imprinted on your heart that it's almost like you dream them up yourself. And like in the movie, Sandra Bullock dreams up.
00:23:37
Speaker
Right. The love of her life. Yeah. um So just, oh, and then, uh, the, I think the movie ends with the quote, like always, always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder and fall in love whenever you can.
00:23:53
Speaker
oh So I just, yeah. Very cute. Yeah. Good one. You said good one to your own number two. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Slash Mara's number one.
00:24:05
Speaker
Yeah. My number two is a new one for me and an oldie for and and
The Sixth Sense: Emotional Impact
00:24:13
Speaker
other people. Another ninety s movie.
00:24:16
Speaker
It's The Sixth Sense. oh I watched it for the first time last year. And when I went into this movie, I said, oh, I mean, I already know the twist. So like, that's why people like this movie is for the twist that was really earth shattering.
00:24:36
Speaker
30 years ago. What was, okay, there was a thump. Whenever we talk about spooky stuff, your ghost comes out. Have you noticed? It does. I'm sorry. talk about it in the house. Well, Grayson, you check on the pup?
00:24:50
Speaker
Yeah, Grayson, will you go upstairs to the dark? Find out what's going on? There's a dog. It's fine. Thank you. So, uh, yeah. So I went into this movie thinking was going to be about the twist at the end.
00:25:06
Speaker
Should I just say the twist? No, I haven't seen it, but I do know the twist. I mean, same. Yeah. Well, if you don't want to hear the twist, go away now. Okay.
00:25:17
Speaker
Maybe I just won't say it. That'd be kind of funny if somebody had their ear messed on this whole time. Okay. You can come back. All right. They heard you. Good job. yeah
00:25:29
Speaker
So I was like, okay, this is just going to be like a stupid, scary movie that has this twist at the end. No, it was, it it had a couple of jump scares, but other than that, it is this very sincere, heartfelt movie about grief and failure.
00:25:47
Speaker
it's practical magic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get her. Well, is practical magic about failure? I don't know. Like this is about like, What do you, what? The abusive relationship, I would. Yeah, like, the failure in, within, like, relationships or, like, putting yourself out there and then, like, having it not work out but still willing. and And also having to, like, call in your family to rescue you. Yeah, feeling like a failure as a mom because no one wants to put you on the phone tree. Didn't he try to her? Like...
00:26:19
Speaker
Yeah, just not over it. It's not a background movie. Okay, I was like... I don't think people would put these two in the same category. like Neither of us have seen Six Sets, so you're arguing on your own. Yeah, and if I were... and if I were...
00:26:34
Speaker
you know, if this were a year ago, I would be on your side. But so now I've seen it. I sobbed for like the last 20, 30 minutes of that movie. Like it was so cathartic and sincere and just like really beautiful.
00:26:49
Speaker
um And it like instantly earned like in my top 10 of movies, which I couldn't believe I was saying. But I was like, oh my God, like this is because like it turned out the twist.
00:27:02
Speaker
was like the least groundbreaking part of that movie to me. I don't know. It was just really like, uh, Haley, Joe Osment as a little kid, he was so good.
00:27:15
Speaker
He's like, you should watch it. His performance as like, he must be six or seven. It's amazing. And then it's Bruce Willis. Uh, I've never seen Bruce Willis in something and been like, I wish Bruce Willis wasn't in this. Like he's tearing down the scene. Like he's so good in it.
00:27:31
Speaker
And it's just like start to finish, start strong and strong, strong in the middle. And the way that these two people help each other is just truly like such a heartwarming, cozy Halloween feel. It takes place in the fall.
00:27:50
Speaker
And it's got ghosts, but it's not directly Halloween. Like it doesn't acknowledge or I don't know if there's a Halloween scene in it. I can't remember. No, but it's definitely one of those like that's a fall. Yeah. Watch. Like I would never watch it outside of the fall. Like the even the color scheme of the like poster is like what? Orange? Yeah.
00:28:10
Speaker
But if you guys want to watch it, let me know. and Okay. Hell yeah. That's what I like to hear. I think that if it's in your top 10 after watching it once, that's pretty surprising. it was. I was literally, Lucas was with me when I was watching it and he was just laughing because I was just sobbing like tears streaming down my face. Like he doesn't know.
00:28:32
Speaker
Yeah. Like it was beautiful. That's awesome. Okay. Nice. I'm glad someone was there.
00:28:41
Speaker
I do have, and give you a second. Um, I was going to say a clue in my list, but it's not technically another, like it's a Halloween watch, but it's not technically a Halloween movie. This is a it was a total flop when it came out.
00:28:58
Speaker
They released it with three different, uh, like endings, like yeah different theaters all across. It's a 1985 comedy thriller starring Tim Curry. Oh yeah. Based off.
00:29:10
Speaker
I have a board game. haven't seen this. Is Tim Curry dead or alive? He's alive. Okay. Wow. He's still serving cunt to us. Oh yeah. Let's go Timmy. Oh, it's got, um, it's got a ton of people in it. Yeah. Yeah. It's got that guy from like Marty McFly back to the future. And it's like belly laugh funny. Yeah. that end The ending when, cause I think it actually goes through all three endings. Yeah. Like when you watch it now. Yeah. It, it, it just like will end and then do the next one. And it is so funny. Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:41
Speaker
um i would totally say that this is in the halloween realm because it's like supposed to be scary spooky but apparently it's a parody of house on haunted hill and other whodunit films but what did house on haunted hill come first sounds like house on haunted hill has
Is Clue a Halloween Movie?
00:30:01
Speaker
been made a couple times okay and so and i do believe the first time it was released was in the 70s okay gotcha Yeah, I would say that's a good one.
00:30:11
Speaker
And that's one that like if you look it up, nobody's going to tell you watch Clue during October or Halloween. But so I would also, if we were still giving you points, give you a point for that.
00:30:21
Speaker
Thanks. Yeah. Camp. RIP. Let's go to our little sponsors.

00:31:23
Speaker
a lot of good spooky fall halloween movies don't look under the bed is about a kid who um has an imaginary friend but in this world when you stop believing in an imaginary friend they become the boogeyman your bed so it's like this weird thing where like yeah it it truly gave me nightmares i wasn't an easy kid to get nightmares but dad i still haven't watched it because so scary. Wow. Because it's like this thing, it's it's like a manifestation of your mind. Yeah.
00:31:52
Speaker
I now understand with my OCD why it's so scary, why it's like the most scary thing to me. But the premise that like what caused it was you in growing up and no longer believing

00:34:19
Speaker
And I say that because they scare the ever-loving shit out of me more than anything else because I have had a real-life ghost experience. truly believe in ghosts because of Ouija boards. And yeah I do not fuck with them. don't look at them. don't joke about them. They're not allowed near me. We had one in the apartment for a while. I'm aware of that.
00:34:37
Speaker
And that was on Mara. Yeah, someone gave it to me as a gift. It's not okay. It was a gift, as we used to say. It was a gift. Nope. My notebook, it was a gift.
00:34:50
Speaker
It's like how to start your- It is so funny have moved back here and see these older relics of my past pop up because I was like, I'm not taking that to LA with me. I'll never see that again. mine.
00:35:01
Speaker
I'm like, what? Yeah. Damn. Damn. All right, back into the game.
00:35:11
Speaker
We agreed we weren't going to do any of that anymore. That wasn't singing. Yeah, that was just more ah that was just me stimming. Oh my gosh, you guys are my boss.
00:35:22
Speaker
So it's we're in the crunch time of um our biggest annual event is coming up at the end of this week. When you listen to this, it'll have been passed. But it ah is huge and it takes the whole team's effort for months, basically, to get it done. And my boss last week, I found out that he stims so hard when he is avoiding speech writing and doing anything else. And so he was looking at all the the tables and the guests and where they were going to go.
00:35:56
Speaker
And I have to be in there because I'm the one doing all the manual work of that. And so he's sitting there and he's going like this. He's like, that's a real person. So we're going to need to believe that. But he basically just like randomly hums and like does people's names and goes like, that and and i was like i can't i cannot be here i was losing my mind i was looking at the camera like jim's in the office like just like who invisibly can connect with me right now on the fact that he like for an hour what didn't stop and i i was trapped in there wow i did tell him about it the next day
00:36:41
Speaker
What did he say? He was like, oh, really? I do that? Yeah. pee ida He had clue. I often don't know until people point it out. I'm like, ah like I don't even think about it.
00:36:53
Speaker
He didn't even. That's just a blip on the radar. Yeah, today we did a puzzle competition at work. Cute. And I was like making little noises the whole time. Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:04
Speaker
He didn't even know what stimming was. had to be like, oh yeah, you were stimming hard yesterday. And he was like, what? Yeah. ah To be a Gen Xer. Forgotten. Goddess. Okay, now that we've roasted him. Fuck.
00:37:19
Speaker
Uh, my number one Halloween movie is Zombieland. Oh, damn. Is that a Halloween? Does it take place in Halloween? Isn't it just a zombie movie? Yeah, but it's zombies.
00:37:30
Speaker
Zombies are not your Sorry, I'll let you get a sentence out before I dive in. I agree with Mara. it Well, I don't really care. ah Yeah. After you named fucking Sixth Sense? What does that have to do with fucking Halloween? Well, it takes place in the fall.
00:37:45
Speaker
ok so does Zombieland. I don't actually think that's on the room. I don't actually think it does. What part of it takes part in the fall? They have jackets on. They're in LA. There's fall leaves. Damn.
00:37:57
Speaker
I don't think there are fall leaves in it. Doesn't it span large amount of time? Even if it were in a different season, i don't care. It's a Halloween movie. so It's got zombies. It's a really good movie. It's a great movie. yeah So I am always, I always like, we put it on every year. I'm always like, eh. I have never seen you watch this movie.
00:38:15
Speaker
I watched it last year. She has a time outside of when you hang out with her. I don't remember. Is this like a post Grayson thing? Yeah. Yeah. I hadn't watched it. I've never seen it until I met Grayson. I had never seen it.
00:38:28
Speaker
Yeah. Um, I felt neutral about it when I first saw it and then it's grown on me every time. i feel like the story is interesting enough and there's enough like funny stuff to keep me going and like keep me invested.
00:38:40
Speaker
i like how the characters progress and especially the women, like how independent and strong they are. um Yeah, it's good movie. That's a movie where the sequel did not hold up.
00:38:52
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't see that either. never seen it. The sequel is bad. I wouldn't recommend it. i I do ah just inherently agree with Mara that there is something about it that doesn't feel like Halloween to me. Can't really explain why. i think it's because it doesn't seem like...
00:39:12
Speaker
um I don't know. It doesn't seem like it's... First of all, I think it was came out in like March of the year. that it like March 2006 or something like that.
00:39:24
Speaker
I'd be really interested to know how close I got. yeah um But it's like... It just doesn't set the mood for me, personally. It seems like... ah I would watch it any time of the year.
00:39:36
Speaker
Oh, my God. No. yeah When did it come out? Oh. um
00:39:42
Speaker
One second. I would say that anything that has ghosts. it t The film Zombieland 2009. October 2009. Takes place in fall of 2017. Thank you.
00:39:56
Speaker
and it was Like in the movie it takes place in the fall of 2017. The zombie apocalypse. Are you sure that's not the second one?
00:40:05
Speaker
Did it come out in 2009? The Zombieland came out in 2009. Zombieland 2 came out in 2019.
00:40:11
Speaker
came out on twenty nineteen Yeah, the end this date is indicated by a clipping within the movie, which showed the date October 28th, 2017, and Columbus's rules for survival being published on the same day.
00:40:24
Speaker
The sequel, Zombieland, Double Tap 2019, is set roughly a decade later. Damn it. right, Kara, tell me more about this Halloween movie. Tell me more. I like that you convinced yourself this is that's the ideal situation right there. You know, normal adults read facts. It's just that change their minds. No logic to say why it isn't, except that it doesn't feel like one to me. Here's what I was going to say is anything that has l a the following content.
00:40:49
Speaker
Ghosts? Zombies? Murder? Murder. Murder. Murder. I would say like. Haunted house. Yeah. Like a mystery haunted house. Like that sort of vibe. but ah Demons.
00:41:02
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, you're talking about like, guess. That's all ah Halloween. Yeah. It's interesting to me because I would say paranormal, but I also wouldn't put zombies in paranormal.
00:41:13
Speaker
They're not. Which is great. Yeah. So. So to me, like Halloween is. Aliens. Maybe that's why. Halloween. No, I would not call aliens Halloween. That's year round. content. But the movie Signs is a Halloween movie. That feels like a Halloween movie. Paranormal.
00:41:28
Speaker
No, Signs is Aliens. Yeah, it's Aliens. Oh, just I haven't seen it. cat i like I cannot comment. What was that sequel, John Goodman, in the where he's like keeping someone hostage in the basement, and then all of a sudden... You're so... Yeah.
00:41:42
Speaker
what is that That movie, I didn't realize was a sequel to a whole series, and then i was like, the fuck did I just watch?
Defining a Halloween Movie
00:41:49
Speaker
ah was Are you saying that's a Halloween movie? No, that's just a tangent. because there are adaptive no Because I also would say murder movies, not all murder movies are Halloween movies. i agree. yeah But I think there are some.
00:42:02
Speaker
There are some, but no, I wouldn't call Saw a Halloween movie. What? Yeah. It's got massive murder. Yeah. Yeah. it's a horror movie.
00:42:13
Speaker
think all horror movies. I know. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying, I don't agree with you on that. Yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't say, Oh, it has murder in it. That means it's, I'm excited to get a text from Anna mid October to find out what Anna thinks. Well, Anna doesn't watch anything scary, so she's not going to have an opinion on what, what constitutes a Halloween movie.
00:42:32
Speaker
Sure, but she doesn't watch anything scary, so if she can't it comment on this whole... i can Yeah, but people know what Saw is about yeah enough to be like, that's a Halloween movie or not. Yeah, I would say it's not.
00:42:44
Speaker
There are her horror movies. Like, Halloween is a horror movie that is a Halloween movie. But Saw is not, to me, a Halloween movie. That's just a horror movie. It's a Halloween movie to me because ah my friend in high school would always make me go see it for her birthday, which is an awkward horror.
00:43:06
Speaker
It's rough. Yeah. So I've seen all of them. God. I saw fortune one at a church sleepover and you fell asleep. Great. Love that for Pascara.
00:43:16
Speaker
I think you were even scared. You went into another room and I was like, oh, I'll watch this. And then i again, slept with the light on for 10 minutes. Because the whole point of it, the whole point of that movie, like horror movies where the thing is something that could actually happen to you, like you open the knock at the door.
00:43:32
Speaker
Or in this case, it's like you didn't hold that door open for someone or somebody caught you being hypocritical. Now you're in this like trap where you have to cut out your appendix and get a key. Like that that kind of stuff really got to me as a teenager. That's fair.
00:43:48
Speaker
yeah yeah yeah i would say anything yeah like thriller basically i don't want to watch any of that shit year round but if i have to watch it it's because it's october yeah i'll take a mindfuck thriller and i'll take a body slice and dice thriller never slice and dice never i hate those yeah I like a thriller. Like, know, like... Like, want to watch... I want to say Memento is like a... Is it not an X-Men movie? Nope. No, it's not at all. Yeah, I don't know. Memento is not... Well, we should watch Memento. agree. Amazing movie because how the plot goes. But I wouldn't call it... Like, it's a thriller, but I want to call it like a Halloween movie. agree.
00:44:35
Speaker
But the one... um oh keenan keenan kel keenan kel uh we're gonna get there get out yeah key and peel and it's and it's just it's jordan peel i know but i knew that i had to get there by saying that get out to me is not a halloween movie see and i would say i agree but i would only watch it during i would never watch it otherwise but i would only watch it during october but it's not a halloween movie it's just a scary kind of scary movie yeah
00:45:07
Speaker
Camp one, camp two. Yeah. Differing opinions. yeah Anyway, point being, I think why zombies? Cause I'm really trying to figure Are we still on Kara's fucking zombies? I'm really, am genuinely bothered as to why I can't get zombie movies. Cause I'm thinking of all zombie movies. I wouldn't call 28 days later. Hot Fuzz? Halloween. Yeah. Hot Fuzz is i would fucking Fox. Amazing.
00:45:29
Speaker
But not a Halloween movie to me. Like I actually think that maybe. Takes place in the fall though. Yeah, I know. You're thinking of Shaun of the Dead. Yeah. yeah Yeah. Hot Fuzz is like different, but also kind of the same. bangers.
00:45:41
Speaker
They're by the same people. Okay. All right. um You know, there's just something about zombies. Like, it's not paranormal to me, and therefore it's not Halloween-y.
00:45:52
Speaker
You know, Kara invited me like six times to be on this episode. And this is precisely why I didn't want to do it, because damn I love watching horror year round. yeah And I knew this discussion was going to come up. So I'd just name three of what I thought the best horror movies were, and that would have gotten me in trouble. You should message those to Josh. Josh's favorite um subject matter is horror. Oh, no way. Yeah, he obsessed. Yeah.
00:46:20
Speaker
Okay, so that's your number one. Do you have a different number one that you can sub in here? I'm just going give my number two. Oh. The clue because I thought would get a bunch of slack about it not being an actual Halloween movie. Okay, gotcha. That was for me. Yeah.
00:46:36
Speaker
Did you say yours? No. Do I go next? Yes. Oh, great. Okay. ah My number one. Yes. My number one. I was wondering if we had mentioned it or not. and bring ring Actually, pick up the phone.
00:46:53
Speaker
Scream. Hi, Kara. Are you inside my house? Can you tell the main protagonist from Nightmare on Elm Street?
00:47:04
Speaker
Nope. Look out the window. Your boyfriend's dead. It's Scream. ah Yeah. Yeah. No paranormal there. um No, but it takes place during Halloween and has costumes.
00:47:18
Speaker
So is very Halloween. okay So costumes are necessary. No, no, no. No, no. You could have paranormal. You could have Halloween because obviously like Halloween movies are Halloween. There's no getting around that. Like Halloween town.
00:47:33
Speaker
Halloween didn't even need to be paranormal.
00:47:38
Speaker
Anyway, um like anything, anything with Halloween in it is Halloween. that You can just keep that in. um But yeah, Scream is ah horror movie where it's also referencing other horror movies and Halloween movies.
00:48:00
Speaker
yeah it's like the perfect it's funny it's scary it's got everything yeah a girl could wish for and it's got it shaggy from scooby-doo does it yeah um matthew lillard sure and uh yeah it's got drew barrymore it's got drew barrymore it's got monica from friends aka Courtney Cox.
00:48:25
Speaker
Yeah. Um, but she wasn't Courtney Cox at the time, right? don't know. What's, cause she met her husband on screen, but then they divorced. I thought Cox was her maiden name. Okay. So cartton Courtney Cox and then David Blaine something.
00:48:43
Speaker
Anyway, they date in the movie. He plays Dewey the cop and she's the reporter and oh yeah they end up actually getting married in real life. Um,
00:48:55
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. Great. 10 out of 10. No notes. I love to watch it every October.
Praising Scream's Horror and Humor
00:49:00
Speaker
Gets me in the mood. It's about a high school in fall, the ultimate Halloween setting.
00:49:06
Speaker
And it's and some of the other ones are good, too. Like, it's not just the one movie, like the franchise. Nothing can beat the first one, but the franchise in general is so fourth wall breaking referential. I love it. You know, it has, it and it is eternal.
00:49:26
Speaker
So there are misses and there are hits within it, but the opening of scream two is really good as well. Like it's, it takes place in a movie theater we we yeah for the opening night of a scream movie. So it's amazing.
00:49:42
Speaker
Yeah. Fifth Wall. Yeah, I fucking I probably watch Scream almost every year as well. I love that. Yeah. So much. It's hilarious. Yeah, it's so good. And it it's it is hard to be a horror movie that is genuinely funny. Yes.
00:49:58
Speaker
And genuinely scary. Like it is terrifying and funny at the same time. And that's that is ah true art. Yeah, that's my money.
00:50:09
Speaker
Yeah, I love that shit. Mm-hmm. And inspired a real murder. What? Yeah, it What? When? A slasher. Two boys went and killed a bunch of their friends, or one of their friends. I thought that based off Slenderman.
00:50:24
Speaker
No, that was two little girls in Wisconsin. My friend actually, no anyway. oh After this. Woof. Okay. Well, no, just you can bleep, but was um like worked at the school as a teacher of the girl who got stabbed.
00:50:44
Speaker
and Yeah. But she's fine. That story is a badass story. I would go on my top 10 people who have survived murder. That 12-year-old girl, badass, dragged herself out of the woods, stabbed a bunch of times like a millimeter from a major artery in her heart, dragged herself, was like, not today, Satan. You are not tricking me into a sleepover where I thought was going to have fun and then murder me. Yeah. You're just going to maim me.
00:51:14
Speaker
Oh, we shouldn't laugh. I didn't. Too late. She's an adult now, though. yeah that makes sense. wow Checks out. Yeah. She's a woman, not a girl. Is your stick touching the table?
00:51:26
Speaker
Yeah, dude. yeah Untouch it. Thank you. Good shit. right, Mara. ah My new number one ah Halloween movie is Vampires vs. the Bronx. It's a relatively new film. it's I've heard of this.
00:51:42
Speaker
came out in 2020, a Netflix release directed by Oz Rodriguez. And the premise that it follows a group of friends living in the Bronx who discover their favorite neighborhood bodega is being taken over by vampires.
00:51:58
Speaker
And you'd have to be fucking blind miss the parallels and metaphors for gentrification and predatory actions against poor communities. Where'd you put that from?
00:52:09
Speaker
Dude. The internet. but Obviously. um but like, it is, um it's a, was so pleasantly surprised watching it. The,
00:52:24
Speaker
the because it's not quite like every Halloween movie, but it's not like quite, i don't want to say ridiculous, but like it doesn't have the same feel like moot Boo, a Madea Halloween situation does. Oh my gosh, Boo, a Madea Halloween. That made my long list.
00:52:44
Speaker
i forgot But it does follow a bunch of like black kids like in their neighborhood bodega and like they are working to have like a fundraiser to like save their bodega because like someone is trying to buy it out.
00:53:01
Speaker
um and then these Classic movie setup. Yeah. These kids watch the movie Blade to learn how to kill the vampires. That's hilarious. Oh, God. um And then they're like, we're good at this.
00:53:16
Speaker
um And then they they go save their neighborhood. They'll be like ride around on their bikes. yeah Yeah. Yeah, with like crosses they steal from Abuelo's house. That's funny. Yeah, i like that.
00:53:29
Speaker
Yeah, so Scream did ah inspire quite a few, turns out, incidents. Yeah. Unfortunately, all women um that were attacked. Well, on matches the theme.
00:53:45
Speaker
Right? Doesn't Drew Barrymore get stabbed to death in the first five minutes? Spoiler, spoiler. First five minutes. Didn't this movie come out like 25 years ago? ah Yeah. At the time, it was really revolutionary because she was the only recognizable name. So but imagine you're going to a movie thinking you're going to see Drew Barrymore. or a star in it like you're like oh she's the final girl which was like a is a big thing in horror movies of like the final girl who's gonna survive everything like she's the final girl she is so you're like not as scared at first because you're like oh she's gonna survive this and then they murder her yeah
00:54:20
Speaker
brutal i feel like there was a horror movie that recently came out like that like they had a yeah really like an a-list actor who was in it for about six minutes and then they just fucking killed him brad pitt in dare daredevil 2 not daredevil deadwood deadpool 2 i don't think brad pitt was in deadpool 2 yeah he is no he's invisible man so We only see him when he's getting electrocuted to death.
00:54:49
Speaker
Because he's invisible, man. What? Brad Pitt is in that? Yeah, for like two seconds. God, that's hilarious. While he dies. and Oh, that's funny. But that's the only one that comes to mind, Grayson. Sorry.
00:55:03
Speaker
I think I don't want to say Scream was the first to do it, but I think Scream set that trend. It's kind of like how in the other guys you I thought that we were going to see a lot more of The Rock. Yeah. And who does who's his partner at the beginning?
00:55:18
Speaker
I don't know when they aim for the bushes. Yeah. They just die. Oh, Samuel l Jackson. Yeah. I thought we were going to see a lot more of them and they die within the first few minutes. You're like, what? Yeah, I remember being like, the fuck?
00:55:29
Speaker
And you're like, oh, they really did trick me into watching the other guys. Anyway, let's do our list of three. Yeah, so Mara, what's your first one? ah Or do you just list them? Practical Magic, Vampires vs. the Bronx.
00:55:45
Speaker
House, and I did mention Clue, but that can just be an honorable mention. Okay. Well, I feel like Clue's up there. Damn. I would keep it, because we already have Practical Magic on mine. So then my list is House, Clue, and Vampires vs. the Bronx.
00:56:00
Speaker
And then Marion did... Hocus Pocus 2. Right. Sixth Sense. Sixth Sense. and Scream.
00:56:12
Speaker
and You did Hocus Pocus. I did Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, Zobbyland. Okay. I feel very passionately about Scream. ah I acknowledge that Practical Magic is going to go on this list. As number one.
00:56:31
Speaker
As number one. yeah two of us said it. That's true. Yeah, but that's because Kara wouldn't watch Scream. I've seen Scream. Oh. Have you?
00:56:41
Speaker
Yeah, once. You okay watch Scream, but you won't watch Sixth Sense? didn't say I wouldn't watch Sense. She said she would watch it with you. You said you wouldn't watch it last year. Yeah, because it sounded scary, but now you've told me it's not.
00:56:53
Speaker
I have new information. I've changed my mind. I'm an adult. ah Sucker. um This is crazy. I have seen Scream. I don't have a strong opinion about Scream, so I'm not like opposed to it being on the list. It's not one of my favorites because it's not my type of vibes.
00:57:08
Speaker
I really want Zombieland on the list. Yes! See That is a turn. Then I'll give it scream. We could do scream, Zombieland, and Practical Magic. Zombieland before Practical Magic?
00:57:22
Speaker
Maybe Zombieland, Scream, Practical Magic? Yes. No. Yeah. If you want Zombieland on this list, then Scream is number one on this list. No. That's wild that Zombieland would be on this list. Mostly set it to be antagonistic, but it does take place in October. yeah It does have zombies in it. There's meta.
00:57:43
Speaker
We're forgetting. There's so many good ones. There's House. There's a Clue. House is really good, yeah. Yeah. Both of those are great. I've never seen Clue, so I'm not voting for Clue at all. you is It's so funny.
00:57:54
Speaker
You would like Clue. I would like k Clue. I just need to watch it. Yeah. I almost said Twilight, you guys. I'm surprised you wouldn't. I would have counted Twilight. Yeah. And that probably would There's like debate. If Twilight makes it to a Halloween category, then all my stuff is Halloween. What's hard... Well, I was just about to say that. I was actually just about to say that. It was like, what's hard is that there are fall movies. This is, again, goes back to my autumn activities argument.
00:58:19
Speaker
There are fall movies and there Halloween movies. Yeah. And they are... I don't disagree. Separate. yeah And i would probably put Twilight and maybe even Clue. But no, Clue takes place in a house. And like no like man it's a mansion. And it starts out where it's raining. yeah So it's got the creepy It's got like haunted house vibes. Yeah.
00:58:39
Speaker
Okay. So practical magic, scream, Clue. Yep. Great. Okay. I'll take it. I'm just happy practical magic made it.
00:58:50
Speaker
Yeah. You can't deny one. The two. feet I knew that practical magic would be. And again, love it. It's just like is one of those pace 96. No, it still is for me because I still like it and I watch it every year.
Episode Conclusion and Listener Engagement
00:59:02
Speaker
It's just it's just activity. I can't. Yeah, it can't be the only thing I'm focused on. And so that was my own personal criteria for this list to narrow it down.
00:59:10
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Oh, shout out to Coraline. I have never watched it. is It's half of it. Very. But again, yeah, it's again, a background type thing for me.
00:59:23
Speaker
I just, I didn't, wasn't interesting enough. I didn't, I'm not a Tim Burton person. That's never been my vibe. It's not a Tim Burton movie, is it? It's the same vibe. But I agree it's not. Yes.
00:59:34
Speaker
Yeah, it I just want to clear the record so we don't get a bunch of. I think I've been corrected on that multiple times in my life. So I think I'm, I remember. Probably. those Yeah, and you not tim airline it's not It's not Tim Burton. Coraline. Coraline. Coraline.
