Speaker: yeah Over and over again. Much like Megatopolis. o It took me that long. It did. What film are we talking about? Trail of the Screaming Forehead.
Speaker: i have questions about that title. I don't know what the trail is. um okay should we should we like should i just give some background information to this movie first yeah of course i wouldn't say it's a i'm stream here i was about to say i'm going into this like everyone knows what we've just watched like everyone knows this movie everyone knows it so yeah so why is it like that Yeah, yeah, what let's deeply analyse this shit no one's ever seen.
Speaker: Yeah, let's do this. Let's actually give some background because we never really do that. We just dive in. So, yeah, let's talk about it. You give me some what this is about. I'll give some sweet background. Yes, please do. Trail of the Screaming Forehead, 2007. Fuck no.
Speaker: Obviously spoofing some movies from 50s, 60s. Yeah, definitely. Directed by Larry Blamere. Written by Larry Blamere.
Speaker: Produced by Larry Blamere. Starring Larry Blamere. Yes. so We'll talk about him in a minute. I don't even know who he is. I do. and don't Don't look him up. I know who he is. I know who he is.
Speaker: ah also okay Starring Big Dick Miller. Yes. apparently famous, or you were you ah you you know who he is. He's in Terminator. he's the He's the guy in the gun store where goes, hey, you can't do that. count And he goes, wrong, that guy.
Speaker: Wrong. That's all I know. him for he's put He's in loads. butt What's the other film that's... A few big films. he he was He's old old boy. Old boy.
Speaker: Yeah, he's in Gremlins. Mm-hmm. Gremlins 2. Small Soldiers. Mm-hmm. ah good I mean, some other stuff. And this was his last film. Fuck.
Speaker: Jesus. There we are. and Well, I mean, to be fair, it's it's a 5.9 on IMDb, this film. 5.9. And it's a 5 in my letterbox. we Go on. Carry on. Carry on.
Speaker: I think and that's all of the facts I've got. There's not actually that much about this film online. You have to watch it to know it. Okay, so the movie is about... ah this woman scientist.
Speaker: You know, they don't exist. Sorry, I'm being... It's the joke in the movie. Anyway. That is right, or am I making that up? They were taking the piss out of her for being a woman, right?
Speaker: That's your career, doing an overdive.
Speaker: No, women can be scientists. But no, they were like... She was like, oh, the brain... We actually... Our thoughts are from the the forehead. yeah and And the men mock her because she's a woman and she doesn't know science. yeah okay So it opens with that.
Speaker: But then, you know long story short, she was right. And we do think with the forehead, not the brain. We do. yeah yeah and And this is all happening in parallel to anothers foreheads landing.
Speaker: Yeah, alien foreheads. um and then they latch onto humans and then the humans kind of become zombified. i' sorry yeah yeah i quite like the law of the foreheads.
Speaker: yeah got some Got some deep law. They come from and was it a nuclear holocaust ridden world. yeah Possibly us in the future. Could be, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, this is like apparently evolution's final form. The forehead.
Speaker: And that's what we think. So yeah, that is literally basically it um on story, right? I mean, there's there's things that happen throughout this film, but that's that's the main point. These foreheads need to latch onto humans to survive.
Speaker: while there's a guy with the scientist who's... yeah who Is he a scientist too, or is he was just a test subject sort of dude? but He was a scientist. okay yeah yeah So either way, he believed in her, and then they proved that the forehead was it.
Speaker: So that's like a different plot to this other one. And I thought it was going to go somewhere else towards the end, but it didn't. It kind of just ends. but um Definitely a sequel required.
Speaker: Yeah, I, so, yeah, going into this, I did think there would be more forehead action, big head mode.
Speaker: I think we both did. But I think yeah like old films that it's trying to parody, they don't really show off the, ah like the fly. Like it's it's at the end of the film that you go, holy shit, there it is.
Speaker: And it happens with this. Yeah, it's the anticipation. Yeah, but and because you're just waiting for it. It is good when it's there, but it needed it did need more.
Speaker: and Okay, so I do want to get into the five star. It's not a five star, right? It's not. And I will change it. But I think I did enjoy it more than you and Soph.
Speaker: Sophie gave it a one. And what did you And you gave it two and half. Maybe a two and a half. That's fair. Oh my god, if I give that a two and a half, that means I've rated it higher than Scream 3. just watched recently. was going to say, what else is that higher than for you?
Speaker: Is it just Scream 3? At the moment, Scream 3, I can't really think. um Scream 6 as well, because I've been watching them recently. God, the trailer for Scream 7 has just come out as well.
Speaker: God, yeah. Wait, what? It came out just now, was just watching it before. What, the trailer? Yes. Oh, goodness. I will go and watch that right after this.
Speaker: It's better than a movie I call watch up to me um called Sorry, I'm just looking at something recently. Recent films. Yeah, that was shit. It had a very catchy song though, much like this film.
Speaker: um Go watch it. But anyway, it honestly, i think... I honestly didn't think it was that bad. and im pin on it but it was it's a bad film sorry but it's an entertaining one and we spoke about this earlier about like there's differences in a bad bad movie and a bad good movie and this is a bad good movie yeah this is at least entertaining to watch but you're like this acting is bad yeah but was it meant to be I think it's meant to be right
Speaker: Well, I was thinking about that. i was like, is this a the room situation where it is bad acting, but I don't think it's meant to be bad acting? Or is this them bad acting?
Speaker: I don't know. I think it's them bad acting. Because it's like cheap 50s sci-fi.
Speaker: yeah And it's just like, oh, we'll go with the one take. I can't be bothered with that again. um Yeah, that is true. But yeah, I think it is. I think it's purposely done, but it's obviously not in the way of like something being of a higher budget.
Speaker: And then... they that yeah like like like let's say like the naked gun or a spoof movie you know like they're done with a higher budget like even the fucking scary movies i think are done with a higher budget than this film so it's parodying something but it's definitely like it's just like someone like you and i going and buying some 50s clothes and recording ourselves I will say, I don't know, it did pull off that kind of feeling of that kind of era of film quite well.
Speaker: Yeah, definitely. It definitely did. It was it was weird to watch. and I mean, until you said 2007 again, I did forget That it was more recent than actually thought. thought was going to be a 70s film to take the piss out of a film. Yeah, I thought like it's...
Speaker: If this was more a film and they were like, make this for real and try and get people to see this, I feel like it would have probably lost the charm that it was trying to go for.
Speaker: yeah kind of like It would have been like a CGI chin monster. but yeah yeah Yeah, definitely. Stuck on foreheads.
Speaker: But I mean, to its credit, it genuinely made me laugh. Like did a few times. There was actually some really good jokes.
Speaker: wass the one you What's your favourite one? Rome Wasn't Built. Yeah, that, ah I've never heard something stupid like that. It just, it came, it's it's the unexpected, isn't it? Because I thought, oh, it's dumb, but we didn't know going into it if it was going to be like a comedy or a horror, or we didn't really know. it It was until the day that you came over and I went on the letterbox without even seeing anything and knew that, oh, it's it's trying to be a 50-some, but even then, we didn't know what we were going into it.
Speaker: We just saw the picture of the big forehead. um Yeah, that's what you're asking. Yeah, so for for a film of not knowing and going into it, it wasn't that bad, is all I'm saying. There's been films that we've watched trailers. There's been cinema films. We already spoke about this recently, of how bad films are that we go and pay money for. So, yeah, it was bad, but I was entertained.
Speaker: No, I agree. I think it was, it didn't didn't hang around longer than it should have. It was quite quite a good runtime.
Speaker: quite Felt like I got the story I needed. Felt like I got the background I needed. Felt like I got, not necessarily the conclusion I needed. no yeah, that's the one bit I... Warheading.
Speaker: Yeah. I mean, you kind of, you saw what these foreheads wanted and why they were coming for you. And yeah to be honest, if I saw a forehead like that on the on the ground, I ah don't know what I'd do.
Speaker: I would be scared. It's quite scary, probably. It was... it was fun. and I mean, i liked Big Dan Freighter. He was dealing... Yeah, he was dealing a lot punching and shit.
Speaker: The hero of the The hero of the movie, yeah. I don't know. Or is the forehead, big forehead, the hero? Yeah, I think he was at the end. He was in the end, but, you know, midway, he was just obsessed with becoming this big forehead.
Speaker: Yeah. He became what became what he seemed. But anyway, that guy... So the guy that's the director, he plays, which I'll get his character to name.
Speaker: Where is he? Where is he? i don't fucking see him. Oh, wait, hold on.
Speaker: He plays... Nick. Do you know who Nick is? Nick. Okay, he's the guy that says Rome wasn't built. So he gave himself the best lines.
Speaker: Fantastic. And he wrote... Yeah, and I think... I looked at his other films and he's definitely just tried it. He's from 2001 to I think... Oh wait, no, there's one in 2008. And there's one in 2009. So he done one in 2001.
Speaker: and there's one in two thousand like so hed done one in two thousand and one And then he done three more like each year after the other and they all have the same like actors in it.
Speaker: Right. So I think he was on to something here. And if you look, the last one was 2009. And if you look at their letterbox, they're all like, we watched the worst one, apparently.
Speaker: That's a 3.1. the next best the The best one's the last one he made, and it's a 3.5. please He's learning. A 3.5. I have to watch the last one. what is it What's this one called? What's its premise?
Speaker: um Dark and Stormy Night. In a house, everyone can hear you scream.
Speaker: yeah i'm looking at his design but yeah we should what in the 1930s a family ah gathered for the reading of his will find themselves being murdered by mysterious phantom while two rival reporters compete for a story that sounds you know what he's going for looking at these films yeah yeah i can see just from my picture yeah he he clearly liked it like the old films and I think he is parodying them, but he's doing a good job of it where it just it does genuinely feel like one of those films.
Speaker: And it has some laughs in it. like in in ah In a funny way, he's done it. Yeah, and to be fair, he's attracting some reasonably big actors. A guy, a big Dan.
Speaker: yeah he's He's been in a lot of shit. He's been in Westworld, Pursuit of Happiness. hea He's a big boy. He is a big boy. He's a big And he's a big Dan Freighter. so and is this guy like what was he an actor before this and then what big dan i'm wondering no
Speaker: yeah it looks like he was he an actor yes okay but not in a lot i was wondering if he like had a few big film roles himself and then he was like i'm just gonna make some stupid shit yeah But that's why i mean i I haven't looked into him enough.
Speaker: But is he, is it meant to be dumb? Or is it meant to be genuine? that That I can't tell. But is that, is that telling me that he's a great filmmaker?
Speaker: Has he, yeah, has he made exactly what he was supposed to make? Yeah. I mean, so far as me, I i thought, yes. And again, like we said, it's nothing, it's nothing amazing. you're not going walk out. But I'm telling you now, if you have a few friends around like we did,
Speaker: Well, us three. And it was it was funny. it was funny like It was making us laugh. And even though Soap said, that's time she'll never get banged. We're still laughing at it.
Speaker: So take that as you will. But um yeah, I had a good time. I thought there was... I mean, the bit that I liked, do you know the... What the fuck did he say? It was like she was trying to explain something to the guy. The scientist was trying to explain something to you.
Speaker: the guy that's the director that says Rome wasn't built. And and and he goes, ah stop talking, just get to the the last word you got to say. And then she stops and thinks for a second and goes,
Speaker: it And he goes, okay, I'm going to need more than that. And it's bits like that that I was actually fucking juggling because I've never heard that in a film, like any joking film. I was like, that's an original line.
Speaker: That's a fresh line. Yeah, that was fresh line and it stuck. And then Rome wasn't built. It's just, what the fuck? It was so good. Oh, God. But it was just how fucking Big Dan would come up to be like, I'm Big Dan Freighter and this is, who's this fucking guy called?
Speaker: What's his mate called? Yeah, who's this psycho? Who's this psycho? Let's look him up. Dutch. Dutch. Dutch. Ewan McGregor. he's like He's like, here's my mate, Ewan McGregor, Dutch. Talk about that for a moment. was ah Did that disturb you also?
Speaker: What, that he looked like Ewan McGregor? Yeah. It looked like fucking, what's it? It looked like Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge or something. Like young Ewan McGregor. was just like, what's going on?
Speaker: but Would this be the worst film Ewan McGregor was in? No.
Speaker: What would? The Phantom Men in Lovecraft. um I don't know. Actually, ne um Birds of Prey.
Speaker: Actually... Harley, Harley. Actually, maybe not. Because he wasn't bad in that. But we're not talking about him being bad, are we? Yeah, I'm saying a bad thing. Hold on, let me see. I'm going to see what I gave Birds of Prey.
Speaker: And I'll get back to you. Because if I rated that fucking lower than this, then yeah. There we go. Dan Conroy.
Speaker: a a legend. Yeah, he he did eerily look like Ewan McGregor. Okay, no, I gave Birds of Prey two and a half, so maybe it's not the worst film.
Speaker: Anyway, I don't really know. um i quite like Ewan McGregor's films. I don't think I've actually come across one that I've gone, fuck. Like, maybe he is in one, but I haven't come across one that I've gone, ugh.
Speaker: Yeah, that's fair. I can't think of I'm literally looking now, and yet yeah, I The ones I've watched anyway. I'm sure he's in shit. But the ones I've watched, I've enjoyed them all. ah Okay.
Speaker: So, yeah. That's fair. I just came across an audio drama called The Audio Adventure Book of Big Dan Fraser Volume 2.
Speaker: So it looks like this character went on and was continued. In a book? In a... Yeah. No, it says TV miniseries. Fuck off. Yeah.
Speaker: So I think he did an audio book and then they animated it God, Big Dan Freighter lives. Wait, when did it come out? twenty twenty 2020. Must have been a COVID... COVID... Yeah, they' like, quick, bring that back.
Speaker: So... wasn't nameless of these episodes, so you must go on and adventure an adventure in episode. Big Dan Freighter and the return of the shovel. Big Dan Freighter.
Speaker: Yeah, that sounds like it. The underpass that time forgot. Who wrote those? um um There's not many details going on here. Maybe we should listen to that. Yeah, I think we'll we'll listen to those and come back.
Speaker: Excellent. Come back in a few weeks. It could be very good. Would you say this is a good Halloween watch since it's going to be Halloween when this releases? I mean, yeah, it's a better Halloween watch than some of the things I've watched in Like literally Terrifier, which we were about to watch.
Speaker: But we're saving that for Christmas because he looks like Santa Claus in the trailer. Terrifier 2 was a bad, boring film. that Yeah, that's a bad, bad film. that That was fucking boring.
Speaker: I don't know whether bad, is it is it bad, bad, then bad, boring? Or is it bad, boring, then bad, boring? think bad, bad is better than bad, boring. Because if i'm if I'm watching bad, bad, I know I'm like, no, this this is just shit. I fucking hate this.
Speaker: But if it's bad, boring, you've also wasted my time, which I think Megaropolis is. And Morbius. agree. Because then I think you go like good boring. Yeah.
Speaker: Where you're like, this is good, but it's like a three hour and it's fucking boring. Yeah. Like Napoleon. Napoleon's bad boring. yeah what What's a good boring film?
Speaker: Now you've said that, what is a good boring film? I'm thinking like... I mean, I like things like The Hateful Eight and stuff, but I'm like, Jesus Christ. When you're like an hour and a half into that, it's like, this is this is good, but I am bored.
Speaker: like It gets good at the end, which is always great. yeah
Speaker: Yeah. this
Speaker: I haven't watched that since it came out. I do want to rewatch that, but yeah, I can't think of any good, boring, Avatar. I knew you were going to say it.
Speaker: I fucking knew I thought that was going to be the one that you were going to say. Good Boring is a good film that goes, that's... You're like, no, that's bad boring. That's bad, bad boring. That's bad, boring.
Speaker: It's Jason Bourne. Bad, bad movie. I knew it was going be Avatar Dune that you were just going to be like... No, Dune, I would say is good, good. Okay. thought he was going to say, no, it is good boring.
Speaker: ah yeah just in my humble opinion but okay I'm gonna go watch Dance of Wolves I bet that'll be a film that you're like that's good boring watch that yeah okay that's good boring for you isn't it I think I got like an hour okay that will be a good boring that does I can feel that's a good boring though maybe Titanic Titanic I haven't watched in a while but I haven't rewatched it so that says enough for me where I'm like that's a great film but I'm bored But maybe I'm not.
Speaker: i'll go I'll re-watch that. Yes, yes, yes. I'll re-confirm later. i i Yeah, I haven't watched that in years, though, so I don't really know. that But enough of the bad, bad, boring, good, bad, good.
Speaker: lets go to the Let's go to Morbius.
Speaker: ah That's below No, but actually, just quick, but genuinely, what is that to you? Is that bad, bad, or bad, boring?
Speaker: I actually generally think that is a level. On its own?
Speaker: That is like Megaropolis where I couldn't... fit aware If I wasn't in the cinema, I wouldn't have finished it. Do you know what? We should start walking out. Because you were you were watching a wall in a dark room for more entertainment.
Speaker: Do you know to know what's fucked though? There's something cool in me to watch the other ones and I know I'll hate my life. I mean, now that they're done, I think it's a good time to do it. because now you can just be like, okay, watch them all and then you can just put pin in that I'm not doing it alone, though.
Speaker: you're You're doing it with me. but We have to do it if if it's going to be done. morbid time madammore And then there's three Venom movies. Yeah, and Crave Orb.
Speaker: I think Craven will be the best one. Yeah, maybe you save that to last. Well, that is the last one, but I think Madame Web I'm really going to hate. um Morbius I know is bad.
Speaker: Yeah. Oh, speaking of... Sorry. No, no, no. that's the Craven is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But speaking of... Sorry, just because it's in my head. Morbius. Tron Ares. I watched it.
Speaker: It was good. Right. Good. It was good, good. Good, It was good. Sorry. No, it was good entertaining, but not good, good. It's not on the good, good level.
Speaker: It was just like, I'm entertained. It was nothing amazing or special. have that What about Jared Leto? Jared Leto was fine in it, which also surprised me because I was so sick of seeing him. I think I said this last week.
Speaker: I was so sick of seeing his face. But I watched this film. I went with my dad to IMAX. And I think... it's just I think you're like one of ten people that's seen it. Yeah, probably. I'm keeping Tron alive by myself.
Speaker: But no, it was it was very... um All the things that I thought I wasn't going to like, I didn't mind or did like. Like putting it in the real world. I liked, which in the trailer, I was like, fuck off.
Speaker: ah And yeah looking at Jared later, I was just like, not you again. But in the film, i was like, whatever. yeah Big old tease for the next film. Oh, God. no There's not going to be another one. the The mistake was it wasn't a Tron Legacy sequel and it was so much like it could have been there. yeah it It really could have been there but it wasn't. In Tron Legacy you should be like, okay, now we do a few more then.
Speaker: Not be like, we're going to bring it back in 50. Because it doesn't mean anything anymore. It's weird. Anyway. When did the original Tron come out? When did what? No, 1987.
Speaker: all Yeah, something like that. 84 maybe? I don't know. 82. Jesus. I was trying to figure out how long was between Tron Legacy compared to how long was between Tron Legacy and the original film. Yeah. So all in all, because this is not a Tron episode.
Speaker: I'm just saying because we were speaking about Jared Leto last week. He wasn't the problem here. um I don't actually think the film was that bad. It's just they went on a complete different storyline for the third film and they even went, oh look, Sam Flynn's... ah retir He's stepped down and disappeared and then at the end of the film he's looking for them and I'm like, there's not going to be a fourth one.
Speaker: What the fuck were you thinking? It just... it It was a weird... Yeah, that that's my that's my actual problem of it. Like, it just didn't connect in any way. But as a solo film on its own, Tron lights, soundtrack, yeah, the fucking IMAX, it was blowing my head off. Yeah, it was good.
Speaker: Yeah, I can see it being a good watch. Yeah. but So maybe, no it was fine. It was fine. It was good, entertaining, nothing amazing. But cinema watch, 100%, good time for that. and Mm-hmm.
Speaker: Anyway, back to whatever we were talking about.
Speaker: A morbid, morbid time you were going on Oh, fuck that. Okay. try like well No more. No more. No morbid. No morbid. Okay, but yeah. so we're back.
Speaker: I want to ask like what you, um how do you think those four heads got to earth? Sorry, I'm just laughing because we just went on such a fucking side quest.
Speaker: How do I think... Hold on, I'm coming back down one second. Alright, we're back on the forehead. Trailer screaming forehead! I just need to get into it. um Right.
Speaker: How do I think they got to Earth? um They must have crashed. Right? They show that at the beginning. and No, they do. They show at the beginning at Crashlands. But... Were they in a ship or did they just, were they in a ship and it blew up and then they fucking started landing everywhere?
Speaker: um We need a prequel. Yeah. I'm just wondering what their ship, how they're controlling their ship. Probably like a big baby from Dune.
Speaker: yeah from Dune oh yeah from spoilers I don't know I think in the maybe yeah maybe it is yes so let's so move on spoilers for Dune don't say anything just move on there's no need to bring it out
Speaker: ah yeah but I think my problems with the film were like I think
Speaker: it just didn't quite reach the ridiculous heights that I thought it would in terms of terms of the monster. I think that was my biggest gripe. Yeah. I agree with that.
Speaker: I think they also that bit at the end did like start doing a bit like I thought it going to go for an anchorman fight. And it just kind of didn't do that.
Speaker: like it it it was it There was a fight, but it wasn't as like ridiculous and funny as it could have been. No. But again, like if it's trying to do like a 50s film, they weren't like Anchorman, were they? say I mean, yeah. I just think maybe I was just looking for that. I wanted something sillier, maybe.
Speaker: Yes, that's yeah more what I meant. I could have just done with a bit more ridiculousness and a bit more forehead time. I keep it going to say chin. The crimson chin.
Speaker: crimson chin. Yeah, no, I agree. I think like I could have done with more stupidness because I actually think the writing was funny um and they there was a few laughs out of us, like I said, but I think...
Speaker: actual things that were happening, not much. Like the foreheads kind of started taking over. He was becoming a bigger head, but honestly, not much. If you think about it, it was just, that's it. I can't actually tell you anything more. I mean, big damn freighter was walking around going, Oh, there that that they got foreheads on them.
Speaker: And then yeah he wasn't doing much either. Like it, honestly, it was like an hour and 20 long movie. with not much going on and it kept on going to the same place so you know that they filmed all those scenes at once and then cut of up into different parts of the film like the bar I did enjoy that like it just said library or bar and and there was like that stock footage of like the pictures before they went into the house oh yeah that That was good. that mean good good Good time.
Speaker: And it didn't do what I expected. I thought he was going to be the bad guy, but he was he was the good guy. I thought he was to be leading these forehead freaks. See, okay, so you thought it was going that way.
Speaker: We're diving way too deep into this. but No, I mean like just from like the picture of the film. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah, no, i I feel that. But I feel like in the end, when he was screaming and sprinting for 10 minutes, I thought like at that point, I thought when he went to that meeting, do you remember when he went to the meeting with all the foreheads?
Speaker: And they were like, you're not like us. And they started knowing. I thought some of the foreheads were going to go, oh we we can do more. And they were going to join him. you know yeah I thought that's what was going to happen and I thought he was going to start leading them and that was going to be the next step of humanity okay but yeah it didn't he he he saw the errors of his ways and he fucking killed himself with a bunch of others with all the other foreheads yeah like a suicide forehead
Speaker: It was though, wasn't it? I mean, also that just that whole thing didn't really make sense with the the alarm and then they put plugs in and then came back, and but the alarm still worked. It was like, wait, what?
Speaker: They could get a bit closer, but yeah, he just killed himself. He pulled an alarm and then his head became small again, but then he disappeared anyway. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. yeah yeah I thought he was going to...
Speaker: And they only showed one person disappear. That one guy that they were you know they were filming him on the floor. And they kept on cutting back to him, didn't they? And then he just disappeared.
Speaker: He's clearly and like just somewhere different. yeah He was not in the same scene. I'm like, Why do we need him? He wasn't even a big character. No, he was just some random dude. He wasn't even the first guy that got foreheaded.
Speaker: you remember when they were rubbing foreheads? That was fun. when he like was it oh no it was Dutch he looked through the curtain you and he was just on his forehead and then he gave him a forehead yeah
Speaker: anyway so yeah I mean before we watch was it before we watched this yeah we were scouring Amazon and we obviously came into a whole world of excellent looking movies Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Which I think should be dabbled in at some point. the Gingerbread. Was it Gingerbread? Ginger Dead. It was Ginger Dead Man. And there's a whole fucking MCU franchise of them. There's Ginger Dead Man versus Evil Bong.
Speaker: And then there's Evil Bong shit going on. Like, there's those movies. It gets fucking crazy. But... um so They look for horror. Yeah, they're definitely more for your Halloween watch with a few friends. This wasn't a horror.
Speaker: This was like a 50s sci-fi parody. That was it. There was nothing scary in this. But um yeah, fun to watch. I've just seen there's a director's cut of Trail of the Screaming Forthead.
Speaker: What is it? You can buy on DVD for 50 Alright, send me link.
Speaker: I've bought worse. You like physical. You're like... Get the soundtrack and vinyl. No way. like Okay, Jesus Christ. There's like two songs and it was the same song, but she just sang it on her... So let's go into... Before we go into the other territory of movies we saw, ah for your Halloween watches, because we I have a few of them...
Speaker: um What was the thing called? The song. Sorry, the theme song. It happened at the start. I quite enjoyed it. Then there's a midpoint. And the random woman, she's not random. She's like with the director. she She's with him in the bar.
Speaker: Like yeah his woman or something. and And she just starts singing it. The theme song. But I don't know... Why?
Speaker: I thought I was in a Twin Peaks episode. I didn't know what was going on. It was so fucking weird. And the film's weird enough and then they just put in a musical number. There's no music though. It's just her.
Speaker: Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker: fucking was fucking weird that is weird I was trying to think back to actually yeah trying to play it back in my head what when she comes out of the barn but she sings it differently as well yeah yeah like I do know screaming for her dancing around everyone yeah did you forget about that no no no no like I remember it I was just trying to i hear it in my head I didn't remember whether it had music on it no no music it was just there So I'm going on to um my Amazon Prime.
Speaker: And I'm going to look through this watch list movies that I've got. We saw some good ones. The Scrotum. Wait, before we get on to that, are we done with The Screaming Forehead?
Speaker: Yes, I think so. I think I said everything I want to say. Yeah, that's um if you if you want to laugh and you like how we're describing it, Go ahead and watch it, I think. There's worse to watch. um Definitely.
Speaker: Yeah, I think I'll settle for a two and a half. It's right in the middle. It's not and terrible. It's not great. I was entertained.
Speaker: So, yeah. Take that as you will. I'm, yeah, good. No, bad. ah Bad, good time. but good time Bad, bad. We got so confused. No, because there's good, bad.
Speaker: Is this good, bad, though? No, it's bad, good, isn't it? ah bad Bad good entertaining. Bad good fun fun time. BG. BG. BG. Right, so now we're going to go into the other films, which I think we should dive into a bit.
Speaker: Maybe we'll do some in November. You know, spooky season's still a bit around, just before Christmas. And we saw some films pretty called The Scrotum. Do you remember that?
Speaker: yeah we We were trying to find the picture online of the nut monster itself, but we couldn't see anything. yeah So we may have to dive into that film. maybe You probably have to put your agent to see it. Yeah, I think maybe we'll have to skip a bit, though.
Speaker: I don't know if we can sit through this whole film. Oh, it's only an hour and three minutes. Maybe we can. Okay, yeah, they there you go. So it's a weekend getaway turns into terror after a bizarre shaving incident releases a bloodthirsty monster upon a peaceful lakeside community.
Speaker: Hmm, okay. Yeah, that sounds quite entertaining. three stars. 13 people watched that. I did with 13. Cool. Adjacent. Yes. They're after me. God. They're like, no more movies!
Speaker: No more good, bad, bad, bad, boring movies! You just watch good! No, screw him. All right, so then the ginger dead man. We've spoken about that one.
Speaker: um And the whole series. that Yeah, the whole fucking series. I mean, I've got that one and the ginger dead man versus evil bong, which is... i think evil bong is separate initially. Yes, it is. so we're going to have to dive into the whole franchise if we need to get there.
Speaker: but yeah And also he was small, wasn't he? Which we didn't expect. He was. I wonder if he grows bigger. Yeah, yeah. ah But then again, he is riding this bong.
Speaker: But is the bong big? Is the bong big? Do you know what? They're almost 10 years apart. Wow. So we've got see. Going on longer than the MCU. Yeah. they Were they pre-MCU? It is pre-MCU. That's what's amazing about it. That's what it was based on.
Speaker: Yeah, so then we also saw Killer Sofa. Now, I actually thought that looked quite funny. Yeah, how long is that one? That one is an hour and 21. Okay. okay They're all about the similar same time. Hour and 10, hour and 20, you know, around that.
Speaker: um I don't know if I need to watch that one, but the trailer was quite funny. ah treasure It's up to a disgraced Jewish rabbi. What? so a Sorry, I'm just reading the fucking plot of it. I didn't remember.
Speaker: Wait, what?
Speaker: Okay, best to not hide behind your sofa for this one. Killer Sofa does... Fuck. Killer Sofa does ah for chairs what Jules did for sharks.
Speaker: Okay. When a killer lazy boy chair falls in love with a girl, it's up to a disgraced Jewish rabbi. i was about to say there's a moment in the trailer where a girl's in a bikini sitting on the sofa and I'm like, is this sofa? Yeah.
Speaker: Is it getting springy? Is it spring? Probably, most likely. But yeah, that looked quite funny, but... And then we didn't get to see the trailer for this one because there isn't one, but Velocipasta.
Speaker: What? Well, pasta as in pasta. A priest. Oh, yes. After losing his parents, a priest travels to China.
Speaker: but where Oh, what? Where he inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. Wow, okay. That's quite cool. What?
Speaker: At first horrified by his new power, a hooker convinces him to use it to fight crime. That's the other thing. like Some of these seem like pornos.
Speaker: They do, but isn't that why we want to watch them? Because it's banned here. Yeah, I guess. Fight crime and ninjas. Alright. We've got them all. yeah um Yeah. no These were the ones that we thought were porno. So that, you said, for you you thought it was porno. But I'm looking at this one.
Speaker: There's one called... sci-fi vixens from beyond that it looks like a porno like it's yeah it just looks like one um but then there's this one strippers versus werewolves ah yes you know what's yeah you know what's going on yeah that one yeah that one's lesbian vampire killers what stripper versus werewolves yeah you enter I don't think so Well, she's into Twilight.
Speaker: Yeah, but that's a vampire. And they don't strip. There's no strippers involved. i Yeah, but it's like pretty insinuated that they're fucking... What does that have to do with the fucking... She's impregnated with a wolf baby or something.
Speaker: I don't know her name. Bella? Yeah. You need to watch Twilight. No.
Speaker: Wait, have you ever seen them all? Yeah, I think I saw the last two in the cinema. Oh, excellent. I saw the last one a few times. more yeah I was into them. I'm a Twilight Stan.
Speaker: They're i mean good. They're good. good They're good. good They're good, good. They're good, no, they're good, amazing. No, I didn't like the second one. I'm not a new mooner.
Speaker: I'm not, I don't fuck with that. But is this, did they split the last book into two movies? Is that what they did again? Yeah, they loved doing That was the era. They didn't need to do that, but they loved doing that because fucking Breaking Dawn Part One is boring as fuck.
Speaker: It all culminated in The Hobbit being split into three. Fucking hell. And they're equally just as long as each other. And everyone was like, no. Don't do this, Charles. Yeah, so there there is some definite shit. So I think going back to The Forehead, which is linking to all these other films we just spoke of, is i was I was looking for a film like that.
Speaker: So I'm not going to say just watch these movies blindly. If you're not in the mood, this is a pile of shit. They are piles of shit.
Speaker: They're bad, bad. But I'm saying we were looking for this, wasn't we? Yeah, we were looking. and but i was just looking for something that was bad that didn't bore me. Yeah. and Sometimes you need that.
Speaker: Because i feel like... Yeah. Because we see enough bad that's bad and bores us. Morbius was the height of it, but there are a few other films around that that were boring.
Speaker: Yeah. I agree. Yeah, mean, there's been plenty of shit films. But like you said, it's finding that fine line of I want something that's bad, but I'm entertained by Like The Room.
Speaker: like The room is entertaining for what that film is. Yeah, I was looking up films similar, literally searched films similar to Trail of the Screaming Forehead.
Speaker: Yeah. The room was the top. Okay. And then there's a bunch of films. So Birdemic, Shock and Terror. Oh, Birdemic's a bit you seen No, but I've seen enough of it.
Speaker: and Okay. it Plan 9 from Outer Space. I don't know that is, but I think... Samurai Cop. Oh, I want to watch Samurai Cop. i want that's That's one we'll have to watch.
Speaker: Yes. that that looks that looks that That is on the level of bad good. I'll tell you something I used to watch with my dad, but I haven't watched any in a very long time. It's like those older school kung fu movies.
Speaker: What, like the Bruce Lee ones, isn't it? Not Bruce Lee. Because I really like the Bruce Lee films. They are like Bruce Lee, yeah. yeah But i think these are like... before Bruce Lee.
Speaker: Oh, I got a film. If you want to watch a film that's, it's not Kung Fu, I don't think. It's just more fucking mayhem of shooting. It's by John Woo, the director, and it's called Hard Boiled.
Speaker: And I've had it on my list for ages and I actually went and bought it. The last copy I could find in HMV in London and to get a on DVD.
Speaker: Because it wasn't on Amazon or anything. Or then I tried to find it online and they didn't come with subtitles. So I was like, ah okay, I'll just have to get the DVD then. But yeah, that that looks fucking insane. Any scene I see of that film, I'm like, holy shit.
Speaker: It's just like guns, akimbo fucking... Yeah, I just, I really want to watch it. So if you're in the movie, it's not Kung Fu, I don't think. I think it's more like fucking just a load of shooting, shootouts.
Speaker: Yeah, i like that. yeah I think I prefer that to... like I've watched a couple of those old school like samurai movies and I'm like, they get to a point where I'm like, this is... Oh, we watched one, didn't we? Was it Throne of Blood?
Speaker: remember that? Yeah, I think... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we didn't... I know like it's ah people really like that film. I think, honestly, i watched Harakiri first. Harakiri, yeah.
Speaker: And I thought that was fucking amazing. So then anything I watched after that yeah i didn think that wasn't up there. Like ah when I watched Harakira, I was like, holy shit. And it was 1962. And the way the story was told, was, yeah, that, that did amaze me. And I was like, this is amazing for 1962 as well.
Speaker: Just, uh, yeah. Cause I don't watch like too many old, old films. Or like, I mean, i I have, but it's not like something that I'm like obsessed with.
Speaker: really interested in the subject I feel like yeah but mic that came out when Ghost of Tsushima came out didn't it no sorry I watched that fucking egg came Jesus Christ say yeah no no I watched it when the game came out and yeah yeah so and I bought a few more and I still need to see is it Seven Samurai yeah I still need to see that one um but that I don't need to dive anymore into them no but yeah I know you mean like some of the old stuff. you're like
Speaker: that that I keep hearing about like Jackie Chan movies there. And I've never really watched them. like I've watched Rush Hour. But like apparently he's in really good ones.
Speaker: Jackie Chan Adventures good. Yeah, I can actually name a film of his. To be fair. Oh, he was in a film with Pierce Brosnan.
Speaker: Yeah, The Foreigner. yes The Spy Next Door.
Speaker: Tuxedo. Karate Kid. and okay Police Story 3.
Speaker: Shanghai Noon. Ninja Turtles Mutant Mane. Ninjago.
Speaker: He's in the Chinese versions of Mulan. Yeah, he does the singing as well. Yeah, yeah. He does know Beautiful singer. What a man. What guy. What legend.
Speaker: What legend where we need to see more of his movies. Has that new Karate Kid film come out? Yes. Was it? Did you see it? No. No.
Speaker: No, I haven't seen that film. I don't know what that is. I just wasn't interested in that one. but um yeah and so yeah i would I would like to watch some of those films. which with Right now we're just deciding what films we're going to dive into next.
Speaker: and an epiiarklin Yeah, We can't. I'll lose my fucking mind if we dive into this whole ginger dead man bond. No, yeah. we're not we're not We're not dedicating our lives to shit.
Speaker: Bad, good movies or bad, bad movies. We have to have the good stuff. I tell what, you should come round and we should watch Frankenstein know when that comes out. The new one. ah yeah do lot yeah Isn't that just on Netflix? That is just on Netflix. so we yeah and Come round and we'll watch that. and That comes out November 7th, I believe.
Speaker: Yeah, I do watch it. And I want to watch Frankenstein Bride one as well. Oh yeah. we That's a fucking mobster.
Speaker: doesn't he Isn't he Frankenstein's monster? Yeah. Yeah, but he's like a mobster in it. like he's like It's like a Bonnie and Clyde sort of... Bonnie and Clyde. It's like a... Bonnie and Clyde sort of movie.
Speaker: But yeah, I think that's all we need to talk about or we could just carry on talking like we do. I think we've said everything we need to say. But yeah, I think... What I'd like to do, you know, we might watch a movie. we We don't know what we're doing yet, but I would like to get some more Battlefield gameplay in, and then I would actually like to talk about Battlefield.

Speaker: So I'd like to discuss that a little bit. Not saying you have to buy that. But I'm just saying I'm probably going to be diving into that a bit. So there is actually stuff to talk about. And of Ghost of Yoti, which we also have both been playing.
Speaker: So, yeah. yeah watch this space watch this space plenty to talk about still ginger dead man versus evil bong and scrotum in the next two years we promise yeah if once we've got through the yeah if we disappear for a year it's because we're watching all of those movies If we disappear and pop up with a new podcast name in four years, yeah you know what's happened.
