Yeah, we're ah we've been getting ready for our big Harry's Bopper. Harry Bopper celebration, I guess we can call it. Yeah. ah Be on the lookout for that. That starts in February. Hopefully you saw the the little teaser trailer that we posted. I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on that. Good. No one's liking it or anything, but they're watching it. Well, that does us absolutely no good. so I know. Give it a like. Takes literally a second to do. Come on, guys.
Reflecting on Early Podcast Days
00:00:56
Speaker
But yeah, we dropped our vault Poughkeepsie tapes episode last week, which was our third recording ever. Yeah, I i gave it a listen. i I thoroughly enjoyed it. I listened to the whole thing. Yeah, it was good. It was a good app. You can see the sparks of like where the beginning like you can see how like our evolution to where we are now kind of makes sense in that episode. Yeah, ah like, yeah, I mean, episode one and alien Romulus, even though alien Romulus was like the day before Poughkeepsie tapes,
00:01:25
Speaker
ah Right. But even within 24 hours, we got a little more comfortable. We did. ah It was a it's a solid epikipity tapes is is a is a movie I keep wanting to reference and I couldn't because it wasn't out. So now that's on the open mic in reference. People need to like watch they knew to experience this movie.
00:01:46
Speaker
Yeah, come see what Poughkeepsie's like. You know what I mean? Wow. And then Violent Knight, I guess, was kind of recent, but we actually recorded that like way back in December. ah I guess the most recent you know update from us that you've gotten was Nosferatu. We did record that the day before.
Content Warning and Special Guests
00:02:04
Speaker
um But we've been away. We've been grinding, like Gerald said, at this Harry Bopper stuff, which these episodes are wild. Yeah. I'm not saying they're cancel worthy, but No, I mean, if you know what the show is about, you you. We say some wild shit. Yeah, I mean, if if you know us in real life, it's nothing that you haven't heard us probably say before. Yeah, I would agree with that. It out there is kind of wild, but fuck it.

Media Acquisitions Highlights
00:04:08
Speaker
some some physical media pickups. um Get you want to go with me to go. I'll go. I only got three. I don't know how many you have. I think I'm up to five. Hey. All right. So I went to ah insert local movie store here. Shout out to them. I was I was steelbook of this, a Blu-ray steelbook. So if you want it, you can have it. I'm listening.
00:04:32
Speaker
you're not gonna like the movie. I mean, you own this movie already. Oh, okay. We don't own a steelbook, I don't think. Well, now you're teasing me. I know. I found the 4K of Psycho. ah Oh, yeah, I'm not interested. Right, I figured. Also, because as soon as I saw that, I know what the steelbook looks like, and it is mid. It is pretty mid. It's cool you got that in 4K, though. It's probably worth it. That's what I'm thinking, right? I mean, that movie's not great, in my opinion. um But I'm hoping that it'll breathe some life into the overratedness can Can I tell you this? Sure. Last year, I guess it was last year. Last year I watched, I bought like a 17 pack of Hitchcock's filmography. Right, that that house, right? The big house with the lenticular cover, which is sick. Sick. Impor and it works in the U.S.? Sick. I was, I asked, yeah, I did ask the guy, I was like, I was like, hey, is this gonna work? He's like, what if it doesn't just bring it back? And I was like, I live 40 minutes away.
00:05:29
Speaker
But you're darn toot and I'll bring it back. And it worked. And he was like, so anyways, what I was saying what I'm saying was in the in the context of um Hitchcock films, like when I watched it after watching a bunch of Hitchcock films, it's actually pretty decent. OK, but I don't know because I watched it twice by itself, never seeing another Hitchcock film, which is crazy. And then I watched it with Hitchcock films. I'm like, this is a little better. To be fair, it's a slow. It's slow burn.
00:05:57
Speaker
Yeah, it is. But like, I don't know. It's going to hit since I know. I don't know. I don't know. Anna's never seen it. I don't have the I don't know button right now, but I've been trying to get her to watch it and she won't. Like, bro, it's 1960s. Like, there's no gore or nothing. She's scared. I think so. Respectfully, he was a bitch. OK. To be fair, though, this has the uncut version. I want to see you uncut. I don't know what the fuck that means. I want to see you with your hood on. What are you talking about?
00:06:27
Speaker
After its original release in 1960, the film was censored for decades until now. Ayo? I can't double check. I can't imagine anything crazy happens, but... No. ah So the second movie, o ah Blind Buy. Shocker. um There's only five bucks at local movie store. Shout out. Sorry. This was a recommendation from Necronomapod. Shout out to them, my favorite podcast. Shout out Necronomapod. They were talking about like underrated movies.
00:06:57
Speaker
out of nowhere because they go on rants even though they're a true crime podcast they said that this movie stars michael keaton and it's actually scary it's called white noise i'm unfamiliar me too it came out in like 04 and michael keaton in 04 yeah what did he look like i'm sorry probably like you know it's a universal film uh basically he's a uh One of the most disturbing thrillers you will ever see. That's a lot. Yeah. It probably isn't. Explores the unsettling possibility that the dead can contact us. All we have to do is listen. So basically he, like, listens to, like, EVPs. You know what EVPs are? No. Electronic coal Voice Phenomena. It's basically like when you hear, when you pick up a ghost voice on, like, a recording. Hmm. It has a 2.4 average rating on letterboxed. That's not great, but... No.
00:07:53
Speaker
Michael Keaton. It is Michael Keaton. Hold on, is this in here? Do ultraviolet digis work anymore? Yes. It's not in here. Fuck. That's all right. That's like half of my digis is that. All right. Let me know how. Let us know. Let the pod know how it turns out that movie ends up being actually watch this one. Sure. yes Sure. ah Follow my letterbox if you are want to see if I actually watch it. Yeah.
00:08:19
Speaker
So this last one, I went to Barnes and Noble because they had a 50% off arrow sale. Right. And I wanted to see what they had. Thank you for texting me about that. I appreciate it. No problem. um And I knew this was coming out on 4K, but I did not want to pay the $50. But it's ah Elvira, Mistress of the Night in 4K.
00:08:42
Speaker
I mean, Arrow does such a great job with their artwork, and it looks cool. And there's fucking tits right there. Fucking titty fuck that bitch. Right there. but Yeah. um Horror comedy. Let me know how it is. Have you seen it? I've i seen clips. That's all I need to see, a little bit of tit in the clip. We're good. Well, that's like a virus whole thing, like. You got me. Fucking hockers. Huh? You don't you don't you't see them.
00:09:11
Speaker
Oh, but I mean, but i'd like to I would like to. I would like to. Yeah, I'd be game. I mean, she's like 50 now or like probably 60 now, but she still looks good. She still got them fucking honkers on. Oh,
00:09:25
Speaker
um boy. It's fucking straight up. Yo, I saw the Mean One Steelbook in Walmart. I also found it in Bull Moose. Crazy. Didn't buy it, but so I I like the way it looks. <unk>nna like It's like men's warehouse. You're going to like the way you look. Yeah, that's 100% true. What you got? So for it we'll cover the we'll cover the other Johns first before I get into the this fucking nightmare that I lived.
USPS Frustration and Resolution
00:09:55
Speaker
um You were kind enough to buy me a ah birthday, if my birthday was but at this point three weeks ago. um
00:10:06
Speaker
copy of one hour photo banger movie, which will be you now that I own a copy of you can probably just do it for the podcast. Definitely have to. ah And the toxic Avenger, which I could have swore I saw everywhere and never bought it. Then i we watched the movie together. Yeah. And I was like, this is heat. And then I couldn't find it. So which is crazy because I bought it with you. Right. Where you live and.
00:10:31
Speaker
Now, the only thing I can find is the box set, which I don't want. No, but toxic Avenger. The first one is great heater. Did it come with a slip? Because on the picture, it had a slip. No slip. Also, fuck you, Amazon, because one of the d the Blu-ray cases was shattered. What the fuck? Literally shattered like inside the fucking so not the slip of the plastic, like for the. Yeah. Talking about. Do you do you have any empty cases? I did shout out your local movie store a again. I was going to grab you a couple more if you needed them.
00:11:01
Speaker
i'm I'm chilling. Because I get him for free because he likes me. That's actually pretty sick. Yeah. ah The last one is a physical media pickup. that Well, not the last one, but I bought this at Bull Moose. Shout out. ah It's called The Beast. It is not a criteria on film, but it's put out by Janice. Not not Janice from Black Christmas. Not Janice. So is it the remake or the OG?
00:11:27
Speaker
the beast. Yeah. I don't know if we're thinking the same movie. Hold on. I'll just show it to you. Yeah. Show me. Show me. It's French. I know. You know, I know. Let me get it anyways. All right.
00:11:44
Speaker
It just came out, so it's probably the remake. Yeah. This. Yeah, it's the remake. Laius Ado. She's hot. Bro, the originals are fucking.
00:11:57
Speaker
Wild shit. You know one shit. Yeah. I did not expect you to know what this movie was. Well, I was shocked. A lot of sex. Little floored. ah There's not much sex in that one. No, no. she good Does she? Is there bestiality? Fuck a creature. There's no creature and there's no fucking other creature. Fuck the remake, then. Are you positive? What is the what is the first? What is the concept of the first one?
00:12:26
Speaker
1975. There you go. No, I don't think I think you're thinking of a different The Beast movie. Because this doesn't even sound like what the movie I watch is about. I watched I already watched this is why I'm saying that. Yeah, I'm looking. There's also a beast from 2020. That's also French. That's 90 minutes. Nope. That's also not it.
00:12:49
Speaker
Weirdest come out 2024 we can cut all this this came out 2023 2023 This is about like the this is like a futuristic movie That has no animal fucking or animals for that matter I don't think It's fair It's also 146 minutes. It was a long John Silver. It's long and I fell asleep during it cuz I was tired and The film is loosely based on Henry James' 1903 novella, The Beast in the Jungle, which the 1975 movie is also based on. Oh, i it literally says in the back of this. So I guess they took it two different ways.
00:13:33
Speaker
Yeah, I haven't seen the 1975 thing you're talking about. She fucks a fucking creature. Yeah, that never happens in this movie.
00:13:45
Speaker
I gave it a three star either way. I saw it at Barnes and Noble that. Is it worth it? No, people really hyped this movie up and unfortunately it wasn't for me. I think you'd find this wildly boring. I also found it boring at times. um That's something that... That's a blind buy. Wow, flex on him.
00:14:10
Speaker
My umbrella package came in the mail. Thank Christ. Thank Christ. I just want to again an island I want to get this. Yeah, I want to get this off my chest because I need to get off my chest You guys say it with your chest then Yes, you're right. So For those who don't know umbrella entertainment puts out physical media and they're located in Australia, so Gerald and I live on the East Coast. We're Northeasterners, right? So you'd expect that there's there's several places where it can go wrong in the mail, especially because it's coming from across the you the world. right And my cousin, correct me, said, actually, um it's halfway across the world. Fuck you, OK? Fuck you. Then what then what's all what's what's all the way across the world? Yeah, what is it? What is it? Yeah, if you fuck. China? China? Maybe.
00:15:01
Speaker
so my The estimated delivery date was January 6th. And I was like lit, not because of January 6th, because I was getting my my package.
00:15:13
Speaker
right ah January 4th, it's in Boston. That's a W. It's at the Boston distribution center. Next day I wake up, it's like much away. Dude, I could fucking, if I had to, I could walk there. I mean, that's how close it is to where I am.
00:15:32
Speaker
The next day, I wake up, it's in Nashua, New Hampshire. Why? Why? That is, ah that's January 5th. January 6th, a whole day to transition to the next facility. January 7th, it's in Boston again. So you're like, okay. All right, so it's probably coming today or tomorrow.
00:15:53
Speaker
January 8th I wake up to Nashua, New Hampshire again. Why are we going back and forth here? what the Leave it to the mouth breeders in Boston to fuck this shit up. Leave it to them. It was in Jersey, it was in l LA, it was in Australia. No, had no issues. We're in Boston five minutes from my house and we're having problems. So we've already talked about the fucking USPS is fucking stupid on this podcast once. And I don't, also I know this is white people problems. I get it. Like I 100% get this is just like me being entitled a little bit, but fuck them. So no, it, it should be fucked them because cause some people like can't eat food. You know what I mean? Don't have clean drinking water. Like those are real problems. What I'm seeing is these are real problems. You know, i mean I'm just saying that USPS has been around for how many fucking hundreds of years, right? yeah They can't get this shit right in 2024, 2025.
00:16:44
Speaker
i yeah I guess I can't. So I walk to my post office, which is walkable from where I am. Yeah. I go there, and the lady behind the desk is not the fucking idiot we talked about last time we spoke about the USPS. Thank God. Although if you're listening, fuck you. I just want to say the staff there is not great, OK? And this is my problem, right?
00:17:04
Speaker
if any of them were in my situation like predicament ah about missing their package they'd want somebody to help them and like actually try to help them if they received the help that I got they'd be pissed right so fuck you for acting that way the golden rule is treat people the way you want to be treated absolutely and they didn't do that so there's this old-ass Asian bitch who's working behind the counter and that's not she was Asian so I go hey lady I show her my phone I go I show the tracking and go look this is um My package is going back and forth, can you help me out? She looks at my phone, she writes down the tracking number, and she just walks away. And there's like a back area that's like, you can't see back there? Yeah, they usually like hold shit back there. She just walks away, so I go, oh, maybe she's getting it. While I'm standing there, there's a family of eight, literally eight, who are in the post office trying to get their picture taken for their passport.
00:17:59
Speaker
I fucking hate people that get their passports at fucking post offices. i Go somewhere else. I really don't care about that part. My issue is, when you have so many kids, fucking corral them. They're running all over the post office. Additionally, they walk in, they go, hi, we had an 1145 appointment to get our passport photos taken. It's 1245 when they walk in. The guy at the counter, shout out this dude, laughed in their face.
00:18:26
Speaker
He's like, you're an hour late. He's like, what do you want me to do? You're an hour late. Your kids are running everywhere, everywhere, like fucking terrorizing this USPS. So I'm just standing there. Lady comes back. She goes, call this number and hands me a sticky note. What am I, in the matrix? What is the fucking model, Bob? You give me a fucking slip of paper with a phone number on it. It's like slides it. Hey, it's for you. Call this number.
00:18:51
Speaker
Also, I forgot to mention before the number as for Vinny. Yeah. What when I in the morning when I saw as a Nashua, I called the USPS phone number, the 800 number, which you can never talk to a person ever. It's always leave a voicemail, write a message, whatever. Right. Which is fucking stupid. So I get in my car. I call this phone number. She gives me it rings for like it felt like 10 minutes. And then it goes Verizon Wireless is unable to make your call.
00:19:19
Speaker
Jesus Christ. If I call it again, I get a voicemail. The voicemail is like, thank you for calling, but I couldn't understand it, blah, blah, blah. Drops the address, they go, we're at 25, blah, blah, blah, Boston. I go, you know what, I'm gonna fucking go there. Yeah, fuck them. I'm gonna fucking go there. So I go to this address, ah which is surprisingly close to where I work. And ah it's it's a post office.
00:19:45
Speaker
Just a and normal ass post office. It's a post office and it looks like it's like in an office building because it's like a little bit in like downtown Boston kind of. Okay. So I walk in there's this lady. Uh, and I give her the same spiel that I gave the first lady. This is the goat lady. What?
00:20:02
Speaker
Is this the goat lady that you're talking to me about? No. Okay. No. Um, so we'll get to that too. Okay. So I go, I go, Hey, uh, here's my problem. Whatever. She's sitting at a desk, right? that is This is upgraded post office here. Yeah. Yeah. She has a desk. She's sitting at a desk. There's a computer in front of her, which I cannot see the screen, right behind her. There is a screen that is facing me so I can see that screen. Okay. It's like in the, bed like, it's like behind her.
00:20:32
Speaker
She goes, give me one second. She gets up. She walks over to this computer over there, which I can see. And she literally pulls up USPS tracking on Google Chrome and pulls up the exact same fucking screen I just showed her. Dude, I was ready to fucking jump over the counter and punch her in her dumb face. But I couldn't do that because that would be a hate crime. Was this one Asian too? No, she was black. Oh, now it's out there. OK, so.
00:20:59
Speaker
This, first of all, for me to pull up USPS tracking on my phone and show you on Google Chrome what it looks like if you just put the same screen, is it's fucking crazy. You can't do anything that I haven't done already. It's great. So she has the audacity to say to me, did you see the most recent update?
00:21:20
Speaker
Yes, what think I'm here She goes well, it just got sent from Nashville back to Boston She was they're not gonna send it again back to Nashville because I'd be stupid. I go lady. They've already done it twice It's already going back and forth twice. Why do you think I'm here? Why do you think I'm here? She goes oh, yeah, you're right. Oh, yeah, I'm fucking right the fuck you me what bro I Bro, I could not believe how wildly fucking stupid this lady was. i wrote If you're listening, fuck you. so she got She goes, ah you can do this thing. It's called package intercept, right where you can pick it up at the distribution center, which I come to find out the post office I'm at is also the the Boston USPS distribution center. So you're at the main john. I'm at the main john. All the minutes for Boston goes to that one first. Yeah. Right?
00:22:16
Speaker
She goes, ah go online, put in your USPS phone number or tracking number, and then you can like sign up for a package intercept. I go, okay. Then she goes, she gives me a piece of paper with three phone numbers on it, okay? count Count them three phone numbers on it and go, and she says, ah these are all my supervisors. shoes You can call any of these people and talk to them if you need more help. And I was like, okay, thanks. So I leave. I probably will, but thanks. I get in the car.
00:22:46
Speaker
I'm sitting in my car, I go online, I try to sign my package up for USPS package intercept. And it goes your package is not eligible. I sat in the car punching my steering wheel for probably five minutes. I was so fucking angry. I was so fucking angry. And this isn't the first time you've ordered something from Umbrella, right? No, no, no, no. I've had stuff, no problem. I mean, there's there' is no problem on Umbrella then. It's the fucking mouth breathers in the USPS that work in fucking Boston. Because think about this for a minute. They get the package and some piece of shit goes New Hampshire.
00:23:22
Speaker
Right. Someone had to send it there. Then, then New Hampshire gets it and go, hey, it's clearly Boston, Massachusetts and sends it and so they send it back. Right. Then they get it again. They go, New Hampshire again. They just like how. So I am like ready to fucking scream. So I go to call these numbers. I call all three phone numbers. OK, all three. They all ring for way too long. And I get the Verizon wireless is unable to make your call and it clicks.
00:23:51
Speaker
Dude, I'm in the car. I'm like, let me just drive into oncoming traffic. This is fucking bullshit. Right. So as I'm driving, I get a phone number, which I've since saved to my phone. well that says USPS on it, or post it says US Postal SVC, something like that. I answer the phone, and it's some lady, I wish I had her name, but I don't have it. She goes, hi, I'm calling from, you know, and I go, do you know what's going on, or do I need to fill you in? And she paused, and she goes, no, I know. She goes, I see your package has been going back and forth between ah Boston and New Hampshire. I was like, yeah, can you straighten that out for me, please? Stop the cycle.
00:24:30
Speaker
Yeah, no problem. And that was the end of the conversation. So now I'm just sitting there hoping. Yeah, no problem. I'm sitting there hoping she fixes it. So the next day, it's in Chelsea, which is great. But get but it's somewhat closer. But it didn't get out for delivery. So i got the next day, it shows up at my apartment. I actually got it. Now.
00:24:49
Speaker
I got a phone call that day, later that day, from a woman. I believe her name was Monica. If you're listening, Monica, shout out to you. A new lady. ah Well, she called me, and I don't think she's calling from like the local post office. I think she's calling from like the wherever, like the call center, okay where they where they don't answer your call.
00:25:08
Speaker
where they just call you back later. Our back, get it? Okay. So, she calls me and she goes, I just wanted to make sure you got your package. I go, yeah, it actually just got here. By the way, the box, did you see the Snapchat I sent you? Yeah, that was rough. Smashed. Smashed. Horrible. like destroy Like this box went through it. Was everything inside okay? Yeah, thankfully, shout out Umbrella, they bubble-wrapped all their shit individually. Good. Oh, everything was bubble-wrapped. She goes, is everything there? I go, yeah, I just got it. But I go, well, we're on the phone.
00:25:38
Speaker
Could you help me with this, too? Oh, here we go. To fill in the listener, I mailed Gerald two drawings. What was Bridget Terabithia? Nah, you know, bad choice on my part, but it's OK. It was like seven bucks. no That one was was an Arrow release, a movie called Cruisin, where Al Pacino's yay. He's undercover. Yeah, ah but I think the well, I'll let you watch it. We can talk about it later.
00:26:06
Speaker
um Anyways Gerald sends me a screenshot, but what in the middle of me dealing with this bullshit? For my package he sends me a screenshot of tracking his package. I sent it from Boston last on Friday. I believe I sent it Friday Tuesday it's in Hawaii How how look okay, so So every time Nick sends me a package You know, first package, the beginning of the podcast, right? episode one, episode one, we go to Puerto Rico. Right. Nice. um Yeah. Nice tropical island. Now, beginning of 2025, we go to another tropical island, at least
00:26:53
Speaker
No, we own Puerto Rico, too. Never mind. We own it. It's part of the US. Never mind. But what is what is happening? um you said You and islands, dude. this This thing, this shit was funny. The lady goes, you know unfortunately, like the job requirement to work with the USPS is to be able to read, and our people don't know how to do that. She said that to me on the phone.
00:27:16
Speaker
Okay, that's kind of crazy. And I and i was i was laughing. I was like, it's fucking hilarious. I go, anything you can do to help steer this package in the right direction would be great. She goes, yeah, I will i willll correct that for you. Hang up. So now we'll actually get to the physical media pickup. Unless you want to give us an update on where the fuck your package is. ah It's out for delivery today.
00:27:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's been like over a week. Over a week. And and from Boston and New Jersey. Not far. Really not far. But just know, I mean, your package was all the way in Hawaii. This is not the Lester the two, but I bought this just to get the shipping, free shipping. OK, W. Yeah. Because I already own this movie. OK. But this is The Raid in glorious 4K. If you guys have not seen The Raid, you're missing out on one of the greatest action fight choreographer Choreographed movies of all time. I mean this movie is an adrenaline shot and if you say oh, well, it's not in English You don't fucking need to know what's going on Okay, you watch people beat the shit out of each other. That's awesome. ah The premise of this movie is a SWAT team raids a Drug-ridden gang filled apartment building It's amazing. It's fucking amazing. I'll open the drawing up for you. That's a root. Is that just the first movie? It's just one. Yeah, okay
00:28:34
Speaker
So you got your raid 4K with a slit. Damn. This poster I hung up already I showed you. Beautiful artwork. Gorgeous. It's glossy. i I don't know if you can tell it's glossy. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. And then it's just the regular 4K. It looks like the 4K. So I didn't buy a steelbook because i I had this. Right. I mean, that's that's nice. Yeah. And then you got the, they do their disc art, which is great. Love disc art. Love love a disc art.
00:29:02
Speaker
um Shout out to Umbrella for this. This is fucking crazy nice. And 4K's are region free, so that's a W. ah There is a graphic novel included. Whoa, you read that? ah I can't read, fun fact. hu um I don't think i don't it's a I think it's a different story than the actual movie itself, because why read it when you can just watch the movie? Sure. There's a small behind the scenes ah Gallery, I suppose you'd go all out. There's some interviews in here that I can't read cuz I don't know how umbrella does go all out and I mean This is gonna go down as as like One of the best pickups for me of all like the whole year when you when you buy something from umbrella You know, you're getting your money's worth that they are expensive, but you know, you're getting your money's worth. I also come from fucking Australia Well, yeah, you got a you got to buy a lot of stuff to get free shipping So the free shipping is definitely worth it
00:29:57
Speaker
I think it's over $100 free shipping. That's easy. So I got to 130. So some cool cards, just pictures. This guy was in John Wick 3. OK. But anyways, I mean, yeah, it's it's it's great. It's a great day. Great. so Oh, good.
00:30:17
Speaker
High quality like you can just the the you can feel it the quality of like the the hardcover book It's not like some like fucking loose leaf. You know, I mean, right? um Additionally, additionally, I have the J card for the raid and this is number 140 of 2500 which meaning if I got 140 I didn't pre-order this has been out. Nobody bought this I True or they just kind of fucking grab whatever they don't send them in order, you know I'd want to get one if I was the first one to buy it though. Oh, yeah, so I'm 140 out of 2500 made so this is actually more rare than the next thing I'm gonna get into which is crazy. Yeah, I thought I mean Yeah, it is crazy. So that is the raid
00:31:07
Speaker
Next, the long anticipated. I mean, you guys, if you listen to the podcast, you know how big of a Terrifier fan that we are. I am. you are This is the Art Attack Terrifier box set collection. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. I mean, it's glossy. It's beautiful.
00:31:28
Speaker
That's the back of it. I really wish the only one thing that I have to say about this is the Terrifier, yeah yeah even the camera looks, it's kind of hard to read. They should have added some like white outline so you can actually read the... Because it's red on red for the people. It's red on red with black text. And it's kind of hard to see. But I love the comic book style of like background behind art they put into this. ands ah It's glossy. It's high quality. It does it. It feels better quality than like the the fly collection or that. You know, I'm talking to the screen factor boxes they put out. Yeah, they better quality than that. They definitely, you know, skimp out a little. All right, we'll get into these are fucking these are crazy, dude.
00:32:09
Speaker
This is the first time the the first movie has ever been on 4k, correct? This is the first time I believe Terrifier one's ever been on 4k and then obviously Terrifier three went on 4k like two weeks ago. But yeah, I want to steal patience um All right, so each of these well, I guess Terrifier one and Terrifier two had a poster inside or Terrifier three and Terrifier two Let's just go in order short order. Here's Terrifier one Slipcover glossy the back, her him fucking eating your face off. And then the 4K. This has never been on 4K. I'm actually very curious to see this looks like.
00:32:48
Speaker
Yeah, because that's that's a super low budget movie super low Yeah, ah you get a 4k and a blu-ray included. I took the poster out because spoiler or it's hanging in my fucking bedroom Yeah, I mean high-quality slip high-quality case these feel thicker than a 4k that we buy in the US as far as the actual like Container yeah case actual plastic is yeah, nice deals it almost I mean I'll be honest with you when you look at like this It looks like a steel book. It does. Yeah, so it's like I mean This Terrifier one covers probably my favorite one cuz I never it's like original artwork shout out what that guy I gotta find I think it's uncle Frank productions shout out to you He did the artwork for this. Okay um He does the artwork for a lot of the Terrifier stuff
00:33:38
Speaker
Terrifier two. Nothing crazy on this. Glossy. It looks nice, but it's a potion I've seen before, you know? Yeah. yeah I do like the normal one. Oh, back's nice. what you saying Battle Angel. Wrote the fuck she calls herself. The inside is just the standard. Yeah. Yeah. We know what it is. We know what it is. Terrifier three now. I am. So this one, I i want to rewatch because I want to see how it holds up because I gave it a three and a half, but I have been curious to rewatch it.
00:34:09
Speaker
I have re-watched it. And it held up, you said, right? Yes. Glossy. Oh, I love that. Bloody, glorious. I mean, it's so... The only thing is, it's kind of like... I mean, my eyes are cooked, but it's kind of dark. There's something down here and you can't see it because it's just black. Yeah. But either way, I think my eyes are cooked. This is the back just that acts through fucking... Who's head? Santa's head? Fuck Santa.
00:34:37
Speaker
um Yeah, he's not even real crazy Inside this is the cover for Terrifier 3. Oh, man, that's so much better And then there's him popping out with his arms shrugged up with the bloody hands. He's like, that's funny um There's a poster inside this one too, but it's hanging up The state's got fucked over with the Terrifier 3 release very foot. Yeah Disc artworks crazy
00:35:03
Speaker
this is so like This is some of the coolest physical media packaging of all time. yeah that's great i will I will cherish this forever. Eternity. And then additionally, you get a book.
00:35:16
Speaker
and This book is thicker than the raid one. I just showed you and this is quality This has an interview with the director Damien Leone It has behind-the-scenes photos. It has like photos in here that I'll try to show you but like It's like them setting up the practical effects. Oh, it's awesome Julie because like Damien Leone has like all his own practical effects. He's not like a piece of shit it also has it also has um no c the other guy Before art from um, oh from uh, hello nights. Oh hallows eve. Oh, sorry. Fuck that up. How's eve? Um, and there's also there's a picture in here. Maybe I can find it It's of art with like they're doing the makeup on david howard thorton And he doesn't have the uh, the black highlights in yet like for his lips and his eyes. It's actually scarier Scary, huh freaks me. If I saw it and it freaked me the fuck out No, did the the collection come with all hallows eve?
00:36:13
Speaker
No, no, but honestly, I'm not. We're not going to know. So I know um Umbrella put out Terrifier one like a while ago, and it came with all Hallows' Eve. So that's why I was just asking. It's hard. I can't like find it off the rip, but there's I mean, there's some crazy cool pictures in here.
00:36:33
Speaker
There's a whole the whole back half is just artwork like Terrifier artwork again shout out uncle Frank productions this dude cooks man, and then additionally you get some cards That I have not looked through yet, but they're here. I don't know what to do with these cuz I don't know there's Yeah, well like what do you do? What do we do with these? I don't do anything. I just leave them in there collect us Yeah, so this and then this one the J card on this one I believe there was yeah wow more than I thought Wow, I have number four hundred and eighteen of you want to get something we're made. Fifty thousand. Twenty thousand. OK. Twenty thousand. Still a lot. It is, but they probably anticipated it to sell like crazy. Oh, dude, because he's in the mainstream. Oh, dude. Art's in there. He's up in there. But ah yeah, for sure. What is this? This is just the inside of it or it's a card. These stickers.
00:37:29
Speaker
That'd be fucking heat. Live reveal. Just figured I have stickers. That's sick. Yeah. Very cool. This is probably going to be my my number one physical media pick about the year of my life. I don't know. This is my life.
Terrifier Box Set Appreciation
00:37:43
Speaker
Dude, this is like it is such high quality shit. I'm very excited to watch it and see how it looks, because I've already watched. I have my U.S. copies of the four K's for. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the stands are the same. So I have.
00:37:58
Speaker
Two Terrifier 2 Steel Books. I have the Blu-ray and the 4K. I have a 4K copy of Terrifier 2, and I have a 4K copy from Umbrella of Terrifier 2. I have like four copies of Terrifier 2. That is kind of crazy.
00:38:12
Speaker
um I'm probably going to. Well, I like the artwork on the four case slip. I like the artwork, which is why I have it. Are you going to try and are you going to try and track down that? Terrifier three, four case steelbook, the red one. Dude, if I ever find that, I mean, I'd pay. I mean, in the wild, I don't think you would find that. I would do. No, I mean, Bull Moose has imports. Really? Like that soul I found was an import. That's true. That's so soul for Kay and the other way. This is very, very cool.
00:38:41
Speaker
um It's gonna be hard to top this for a physical media pickup for the rest of the year. Um, before I get into the review, I want to just cover one more thing. This is really quick and this is me bitching more. So if you're tired of it, maybe just skip ahead like five minutes. Um, I went to AMC last week. I went to the Boston one. Okay. The main AMC Boston common 19. I'm calling you out. Okay. This is the main, the main bitch on. Yes. Um, and I saw the count of Monte Cristo, which by the way, banger fucking movies, a French film. I gave it a five star fucking banger, serious banger. Um,
00:39:18
Speaker
has to do with history. yeah Well, kind of. also Uh, it is the, it's the movie that V is watching in the vendetta at like the sword fighting. That's like this, but this is a remake. Right. Remix the shit. It made it better. I mean, the French shout, the French, uh, breathtaking cinematography. I mean, just more like there's not at no point do you think they're behind the screen right now? We love French. They're actually filming this like it. So that's not, I digress. That's not where I was going with this.
00:39:50
Speaker
It's like Tuesday or Monday, one of the two days, or Wednesday. It's one of my days off. right Should be nice and calm. Cool, calm. I go up in there. i First of all, I was debating even going because it was kind of late. But ah this one, you know the the Coke machines that have the the big red ones, and you can like select Coca-Cola, and then it opens up like Coke Cherry, Coke Vanilla, Coke, whatever? Yes, the AMC that I saw Nosferatu in had that. OK. There are five of these motherfuckers. okay There's five.
00:40:20
Speaker
I go down, the first four, I want, when I go to movies, I just get coke. Plain ass coke. Yeah, it's it. I experimented. I'm a simple man. I experimented with Sprite vanilla, shit's trash, don't get it. That sounds gross, lemon lime and vanilla. Hey man, I was risky. Ugh, that's, ugh, ugh. Why that button? yeah Is it, is it pulled up here?
00:40:43
Speaker
So the, the first four machines do not have Coke at all. How? That's the main, that's the fucking thing. That's the company. Yeah. Uh, I was trying to, yeah, I mean, and I missed it, but the fifth one has Coke. I get Coke. I go sit down in the theater. I'm sitting down, I sip it and I'm like, this don't taste right.
00:41:08
Speaker
And I'm like, I was also eating peanut M&Ms, so like maybe it's the M&Ms and then it's not mixing right, or I don't know. Sure, I guess, yeah. I sip it again, I figure it out. It's not cold, has ice in it, not cold, and it's flat.
00:41:21
Speaker
Once I figured that out, I was like, this is fucking bullshit. How do I have flat, warm soda? So I go back, I leave the theater. I'm already sitting in the theater. I get up and, like the the ads are still playing, but I get up and leave the theater to go back to try to get Coke at a different machine.
00:41:39
Speaker
And they're all out. So I try the same one again. A guy walks by, I go, hey, because look, I work in food service, as you all already know, I'm not going to be one to complain. Sure. I really, I hate being that guy. And when I do complain, I try to be chill about it. And I have dealt with, uh, fucked you call it the Coca-Cola people.
00:42:00
Speaker
ah That come in and like service those machines. Hmm. They're fucking root. I can't see it. they're They're fucking retards All right, they don't know what the fuck we can say retards Joe Rogan said retard. We're good. We're in the clear They're fucking retards. They don't know what they're doing. All right, they they expect you to do everything and When you're like, hey, there's fucking mold growing up in here. Can you clean it? They're like, oh We'll come back another day. Fuck you mean we're gonna come back another day people are drinking this So a guy walked by that works at AMC. And I go, hey, man, just so you know, um the Coke is flat and it's not cold. Which, I'm sorry, movie experience includes getting a fountain drink. If the fountain drink is flat, you failed. You're ruining my entire movie experience. Shout out, Alamo never had a flat drink over there. um But their showtimes suck. but Literally, Alamo, what the fuck are you doing? $6.45 and $9.45?
00:42:56
Speaker
ah What what what are we doing? Okay, here so I asked him I go hey man, like it's flat He goes, did you try a different machine? Okay, now I'm angry It's like what do you think I did dude, did you tell him that they were out I go they're all out it was okay and he walked away I get it. He's getting paid minimum wage the fuck does he care but like Again, if you were in my position you'd want to ah this percent I'm I paid fucking $7 for a soda it better fucking be bubbly and like if they're if they're out of syrup Just put a sign on the machine
00:43:35
Speaker
Well, those machines are good. The bubbles blacked out and said, like, there's nothing here. But there was no there was no gas. There was no carbonation. No carbonation. That's fucked. It was warm. It wasn't even cold. And you had ice. That doesn't make sense. Dude, by the time I got back, the ice was, like, basically melted. The ice doesn't, because because the ah warm soda is contacting with the ice and the soda is so warm, it's melting your ice. This doesn't make any sense. It's like making iced coffee, dude.
00:44:03
Speaker
What the fuck is happening here? Oh, the whole thing was just a big skip. I was so mad that I actually kind of want to boycott that AMC a little bit. I'll be honest. AMC has so many things going for him, but then they have so many things not going for him at the same time.
00:44:18
Speaker
and you know Like I also I also considered like maybe he's going forward I'll just sneak in a can of soda with me because I know that I'll never be flat, right? But cans you can never go wrong and no one's gonna stop you. They're getting paid minimum wage They don't go fuck i' go fuck. Actually. I'd like to see them fucking try Terrifier 3 you do crack the beer open. I'll be honest if you're gonna crack a beer open. It's done it for care part 3 Oh, yeah, that's right to do it. Yeah, I Understand this is white people problems. I totally get it um Thank you for listening to our rant. We appreciate it.
Wolfman Critique
00:44:51
Speaker
The time has come. We're here for Wolfman. I just want to say ah while we're here, uh, Lee, Lee one L who is a director of this movie, he's made some, some solid movies. You only see what he's made. He made upgrade, which I just recommended to Carlos and he loved it. Shout out to Carlos. You know, it's fucking crazy. It's a great movie. He did the invisible man. People love that we haven't seen it. I loved it.
00:45:17
Speaker
I thought it was a great, you know, they're with this whole reboot of the universal monsters. Uh, it kind of got me a little worried and I'm not even a biggest like OG invisible man fan. I think it's kinda, you know, it's a little childish, right? But the way they took it was way more realistic and it could happen. Yeah. Well,
00:45:42
Speaker
well I don't want to spoil it for you, but... I haven't seen it, yeah. um I plan on watching it now, because didn't ah Scream put out a copy of this? Or am I bugging? Um, I don't think so. Could be wrong. But Elizabeth Maltz is great in it, so... This man this man has... ah He has some sauce. He was a writer on the Saw films, which, if you know me, I love Saw. Just that alone is fucking wild. And we'll get to it. i just I don't get how he does that and he does upgrade in The Invisible Man. And then we get this. But we'll we'll get there. We'll get to it. So for your cast, you got Christopher Abbott as Blake Lavelle. He was also the dude in Craven. He knows. Yes, he was the fucking guy that could like stop time and shit. He was the one, two, three man. They just counted a three and then he would like be gone. Shout out one, two, three kid, AKA X-Pac.
00:46:39
Speaker
Shout out. Shout out X-Pac. I thought he did good. In the movie? Yeah. He's probably the best part of the movie. Like him or like... Him. I wasn't blown away. I'm not saying I'm blown away but...
00:47:00
Speaker
i Don't think I mean I will get into it. I just I'm not really impressed with with anything about this movie. I'll be honest With one thing and that's okay or an actress. Okay ah Julia Garner plays Charlotte Lavelle didn't like her at all cut that oh but but she looks like she does yeah ah i don't know that she didn't didn't have much Didn't have much emotion wasn't written well No, she's kind of fucking stands there and uh huh. Yeah. Anyway, I agree. I agree with that. ah Matilda Firth plays Ginger Lavelle, which is their daughter. Matilda Girth. She's like five. Where's the cricket? Where's the crickets button I said I was going to get? Uh, she went to it. Dude, we're we're so backwards because you're doing the cast today. Not that it's your fault. what But we don't we didn't do the buttons for these people. Christopher Abbott. I'm not fucking it.
00:47:57
Speaker
Nah. I'm not fucking him. He ain't fucking it. He ain't fucking it. Julia Gardner? I feel like- I'm probably a fucker. ah example Is that what she looks like? Actually, or is it for the movie? No, it's what she looks like, and I think I'm still fucking it. Oh shit, she was in the ah the prequel to Rosemary's Baby. Which I heard was bad. Yeah, I didn't watch it either, because I heard it was bad.
00:48:26
Speaker
I mean, these pictures, I guess you could get it. She could. I love New York. You know, you from New York, babe. Pull up. Let me see your tits, babe. Going, going, going. I'm sorry. I'm on a whack today. Yeah, it's fine. It's a night recording spoiler. We are doing a night recording. Yeah. Nothing crazy. The kid we're not fucking out of age. That's just how it is. Moving on. ah Sam Yeager. I'm assuming is how you pronounce it. Yeagermeister.
00:48:53
Speaker
plays ah Grady Lavelle, which is ah Blake's father in the movie, Christopher Abbott's character. This is his father. I'm not fucking him, sorry. He ain't fucking it. Not fucking him. You ain't fucking it, okay? Ben Prendergast plays Wolf. He's the other Wolf. Good for him. Benedict Hardy plays Derek.
00:49:17
Speaker
Hey, yo, it's a cool name. It is what, Derek? Benedict Hardy? Derek. What?
00:49:26
Speaker
ah And then ah Zach Chandler plays young Blake. You think Zach Chandler's nickname was Zaki Chan? If it's not, I'd be very disappointed. It's a pretty fire nickname I just thought of on the spot. He's not Asian, though, so it'd probably be. I don't see race. Yes, I do. I do.
00:49:45
Speaker
I mean, not not in a bad way. Not in a bad way. But like, if you're fucking Asian, you're Asian. I don't I don't tell you. Oh, we'll save that. Oh, spoiler alert. Yeah. um Well, it seems like you like this movie, so maybe you go first on your opinions. I do have some negatives. Don't don't get me wrong. Like ah my ratings not fucking crazy. Right. All right. Hi. But I am favoring in the positive direction.
00:50:15
Speaker
Okay, hit it. ah Maybe because it's fresh in my mind, because this is the first time I've ever like went to a movie theater, the day of recording. That's kind of crazy. ah But I had some scheduling shit. But oh, for my how was your theater experience? First of all, empty, empty, there was three people. Wow, was I sent you a screenshot of what it was. And I think two more people showed up and then walked out.
00:50:45
Speaker
walked out. I don't know if it was as bad or they just didn't care or they were in the wrong movie theater. They weren't in there long enough for it to be like, Oh, we sucks. Okay. You know, I'm not really sure. It was empty. ah I was stretched out. Okay. Uh, I had a total, but probably about 10 people for one, one 10 showing on a Tuesday. It's kind of, it's kind of good, right? Um, I get, I mean, for a two, yeah, for Tuesday. I don't know. But shout out to these people yet again.
00:51:15
Speaker
The old couple that was in the substance with me was at this showing of the Wolfman. Say hello. Say what's up. I didn't. Saw dude. I didn't dentures. But they're they're the people who. um When they walked out, they were like, that's a little too much for me, and then they went to, then they said, let's go see Terrifier 3 when it comes out. Same people. ah But when the monkey trailer came on, at the end, you know what this guy said? No. That looks cute. Cute. Cute. Yeah, looks cute. All right. Must have seen Terrifier 3 and been like, yeah, it's cute. He's like, I'm ready for i'm ready for anything now, dude. Yeah.
00:52:02
Speaker
ah But with Wolfman, the thing I like about it is mostly ah Christopher Abbott and his portrayal of going insane. Have have you seen the original Wolfman? No, it hurts really good. It is really good.
00:52:25
Speaker
passed up on 4K steelbook again. Fuck you did. Yeah, the fuck is wrong with me. And the next time you see that. Yeah, I will. Maybe I'll go Thursday. That's hot. top It's ah not not really that hot, but it's hot. OK, to the top. Mm hmm.
00:52:46
Speaker
Or is there more of Chris for Abbott or I can tell you that I didn't like it at all? Yeah, go for it, dude. I feel like I can build off of your criticism. Christopher Abbott, I mean, this is my this is my thing with the movie. Lee Whannell has sauce, right? I mean, he's made some movies that are good. You and I have seen, I don't know if you've seen Upgrade or not, but you and I have seen at least one of his movies. And we've both seen the entire Saw franchise, which he was a writer on. ah So I know the man has some sauce. This movie, I think, ah not much really happens, to be honest.
00:53:23
Speaker
It's a slow burn. And not necessarily... ah It didn't need to take that long. No, and I don't think I call it a slow burn because not I feel like we burn to what there's Christopher Abbott is fine. I Think he's just fine for me. I don't think his performance is bad necessarily I think the the way they wrote his his wife the way they wrote Julia Gardner's character is pretty shit Yeah, she's she's a horrible character. I mean there's like no depth at all.
00:53:59
Speaker
the The easiest surface level reading to her character was like, I don't have a good relationship with my kid because I'm a woman and I have a career. Which isn't like fantastic, you know? No, I mean, they're going through marital issues, which I guess every movie nowadays, the marital issues. Yeah, there can be marital issues. It doesn't mean to be a shit mom, you know, and still be a decent mother to your child. Also, she's just not her fault. It's just the way that she was written. That pissed me off, too, when she was like, oh,
00:54:29
Speaker
She looks up to you so much more than me. Yeah, cuz you're not fucking home and he's raising the kid Also, I feel like her reactions to the event by the way, we didn't say this. There's a spoiler as fuck this movie We've already spoil it. So if you haven't seen it you come back later Jake um but Her reactions to the events of this movie don't really hit me I didn't really enjoy that. Let me let me say the positive real quick cuz I I feel like I went right into shitting on this movie the I like the opening scene a lot ah with his dad and they tried to they try to establish a relationship with with him and his father and how they're kind of it's kind of a rocky relationship relationship. I don't think that that gets fleshed out enough for it to make sense by the end. ah But it is very tense. You're kind of on the edge of your seat when you watch that that opening opening scene. I think the best part of this movie
00:55:27
Speaker
ah is when is when they show you Christopher Abbott's progression, but in certain moments, like the the wolf vision as we're calling it, ah the wolf hearing when the screen kind of distorts, and there's a discoloration, the sound kind of distorts. To me, that's the only unique cool thing about this movie. So that's that's one of the parts that I like, but I don't like how they went about it. Meaning?
00:55:58
Speaker
Meaning so I like how because you know when and You know classic werewolf movies, you know, it's like oh, it's me. It's me, you know, like don't don't hurt me Don't hurt me. I love you all that shit, right and you always are like, oh this creature's just you know attacking them right, but it kind of gives you the ah I like how you see it from the werewolf's perspective. Like they literally just can't understand what you're saying. Right. And like they don't know who you are. I don't like the whole glowing eye thing. Like what the hell is that about? That's your nitpick with this is the glowing eyes. Yeah. Who cares? He gets like cat vision.
00:56:41
Speaker
Do you know what a werewolf can see? You don't know. I don't know. Yeah, so what's the- Why's it be- Why they got like deadites coming out of- or deadlights from like it coming out of their eyes. Who cares? They look cool. I think it looked cool. I don't- I mean, I think that's kind of a nit-plick to be honest, but also, uh... But I do give it credit because, you know, that's something that no other werewolf movie has ever delved into.
00:57:05
Speaker
At some point he knew she was because he was like, why can't I understand you? And he's like trying to talk to her to just like. Yeah, like when he's like he's not full wolf yet at that point. Right.
00:57:17
Speaker
ah Practical effects, I believe. No fucking way. You don't think so. There are some parts that had it, but other parts I was like, there's no way it's practical. I think what he's chewing his arm. That looked very practical. That looked good. Yeah. I get that credit. Bite his leg off.
00:57:35
Speaker
I was kind of gnarly. I don't even remember that. Yeah, when they're in the barn, ah his leg in the bear trap, in the bear trap, and he bites his own leg off. They don't show much of that, though. No, not really, but that's when he starts running on all fours because he doesn't have a foot to me. The gnarliest part was the was him biting his arm. That was kind of crazy. Yeah, it's like he needed to like feed and then he was good for a little bit.
00:58:04
Speaker
I think as far as the way the movie looks, it looks bad. Sorry, I don't I'm not a fan of this. I love the and opening set up shots of like the Pacific Northwest and like the woods. I think all that looks great. ah And then once it hits the nighttime and there in that house, it's like, all right, CGI the fuck out of this movie. I think that the werewolf himself looks bad. ah I don't think there was any creative juice or sauce to this. My personal opinion, yeah it's kind of just like
00:58:39
Speaker
he didn't really get where I didn't get a werewolf from it. I get like like a wolf hair on his face. It kind of looked like more like a Sasquatch than fucking a werewolf. Maybe. So I don't know what it was. It didn't look great. Whatever it was, it didn't look good to me, no personally. like Like not probably bottom barrel werewolf design here.
00:59:01
Speaker
Also, we should, in the transformation scene, not good. no i even gonna I'm not even gonna say it was okay, because I don't even think it was okay. I think it was not good. Transformation scene was bad. You're right. ah My review on Letterbox, which has a spoiler tag on it, and well, I don't think it has a spoiler tag on it. It says this movie should be called Wolf Men. Why were there two? I know the answer, but it's not good.
00:59:24
Speaker
ah Okay, so the reveal at the end spoiler of the OG werewolf being his dad I Saw a coming hundred percent. I don't and that's not I don't think that's what it means. I think I Because his his dad became when they were like, oh my dad's missing. So we assumed he's dead. He got turned into a werewolf.
00:59:46
Speaker
Yeah, he got turned into him, but he wasn't the og one. I don't think I think he got attacked by the og one when I when I meant sorry when I met og I is I meant like the one chasing his family Sorry, that's my bad. Okay. Yeah that but that reveal kind of like when the werewolf Breaks into like their house and they have to fight in the house was anybody like surprised like oh, it's it's his dad No way. No, they zoom in on his tattoo of his own name shout out Julian He has his whole fucking name tattooed on his arm. I work with that kid. That's gangster
01:00:15
Speaker
Have your whole name tattooed on your arm? For what? In case you forget it? In case you forget... Alright, that's... Why is it not working? That was a stupid-ass reveal. I wasn't a fan of that. Stupid-ass shit. I don't know why they went with having two wolfmen.
01:00:39
Speaker
I don't know. I don't I don't get why that was a thing. Granted, I haven't seen the original, but I doubt that was an original. No, to just for him to get infected, they.
01:00:51
Speaker
It feels like they tried to make it a little more realistic by making it like a. Like a rabies rabies kind of. In a way. I just feel like they're like, let's make the Wolfman movie and then mix it with the fly.
01:01:09
Speaker
But it's not going to be nearly as good as the fly or have equal quality practical effects or active performances. You're right. That's that's the movie. I I didn't base it on any werewolf movie. I was like, this is the fly. But a wall ah yeah, bad. I don't think that's really done well. And I don't know what that I really don't know what thematic messaging of this movie supposed to be. I know they were trying to touch on a lot. And I'm pretty sure not pretty sure. I feel like Lee Whannell had a vision in his head for the movie of like what he wanted to make. And then because this was made by Blumhouse, who does not make good films, you can't tell me they make good films. They're all over the horror genre and they need to get the fuck out. Right. You ruined Halloween. Now you're ruining the universal monsters. Fuck out of here, dude. It's.
01:01:59
Speaker
It feels like they brushed over it. We're like, we want, we just get rid of all this and change this to whatever. And they just made it a very boring movie with nothing to say. Like the movie ends with, with the wife having to shoot her husband in the head. And they're just like, yep, what it is. It's what it is. My, my husband. I mean, they just walk off and look at the fucking Oregon mountains.
01:02:26
Speaker
And that part honestly was a nice touch, which kind of sounds weird that I'm even saying that, but there was a part earlier in the film where the husband was talking to the wife about like, there's a view he's like, there's a view that you can see. He's like, for a moment you think everything's gonna be okay. And it's like, oh, I just murdered my husband, but everyone will be all right. Like I'll be able to get through this. Our acting performance was so shit that you don't buy any of it.
01:02:50
Speaker
Yeah, I liked the Invisible Man so much that going into this, I was very hopeful, right? ah Because you're you're remaking movies that are 80 years old. Right. But they're, you know, they're classics for a reason. But now I'm wondering Because I'm assuming this flopped, right? This had to. Well, it's too early to tell, I think, the flop. But Blumhouse movies, regardless of quality, kind of make money. They make the bank. Blumhouse movies. And they're just like sent like if you're just a casual moviegoer, you can go to a Blumhouse movie and just watch. Like, oh, that was fun. And like not have to actually think about like any kind of second level like analysis of the movie. It's like, oh, it was a werewolf. It looks cool. That was fun.
01:03:42
Speaker
I'm out. It's a little disrespectful to the OGs. Yeah, it is. Also, this is we were talking about the gore earlier. This is an R rated film, which I don't feel are not at all. Not a little bit. No, I mean, when he bites himself, that's kind of gnarly, but. Other than that, there's no like you take out the F bombs and it could be PG 13.
01:04:07
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I think this is a PG-13 movie with a little asterisks next to it. And it really didn't do much for me. No. Invisible Man did the hard R. Hey, oh, whoa. Hey, oh, hard R. Invisible Man did the R rating a lot more justice. Like, there's a lot more um gore in that one. But it worries me. Like, is Universal going to be like, whoa.
01:04:30
Speaker
That was shit. Let's pull back on the whole universal monsters. You think they're going to finish it? I can do all of them. I think if this movie is profitable, they're going to keep making more. But again, that depends on if it makes money or not, which I probably think it probably will. It's also interesting that they're they're starting with the probably the two like least well known. Creatures. Right.
01:04:57
Speaker
Like you if if you're gonna reboot it like start with like Frankenstein or Dracula Well, at least from what I think there's a Frankenstein a gear they'll tour Frankenstein movie in the works Which will probably be good. So probably good. Is that the bride one? No, and there's the bride. There's two. Oh shit. Okay bride of them I'm very excited for is the bride universal or no. I Don't know. Oh like is it in the same universe? I'm not sure. No, it's Warner Brothers. Oh Their opening weekend was 10 mil. Worldwide gross was 17 mil, which is not enough. They haven't even made their money back yet. This movie's an hour and 45 minutes, and it's like, what did we watch? and See, the length wasn't a problem. for I didn't think it dragged. I did. The whole time, they're just like, we're in the house, we're going to run outside the house, then run back into the house again. Yeah, that's what I didn't like. That's what I wanted to bring up. Kind of silly. They're like, oh.
01:05:58
Speaker
Crash this truck. Go to the house. Oh, the wolf's here. Truck crash in the trailer. Yeah. Go to the... Go to the truck. Oh, wolf's here. Go to the fucking tent? Why are you gonna... The garden? The greenhouse. Why are you sitting on top of the fucking greenhouse, you idiot? I had no car.
Passionless Movie Projects
01:06:21
Speaker
I guess, but... No, it is. It's silly. It is silly. It's silly, man.
01:06:26
Speaker
that I don't really, I didn't enjoy that either. I just think it's, like I said, I feel like we Lee Whannell probably had a vision of what he wanted to make and it just did not come to fruition. I think this movie was like something he took who because it was pitched to him maybe. I don't know, it doesn't it does not feel like a movie that has any passion behind it. And I feel like you and I both were kind of excited for this movie.
01:06:55
Speaker
Yeah, do do another one, but do like Phantom of the Opera. Fuck that one up. That's fine. Don't touch the other three. Like I said, I think it's going to depend on the yeah on how much money this makes, because they're probably going to make more.
Universal's Horror Movie Plans
01:07:10
Speaker
I don't think that the mentioned before are going to be a part of the universal horror monster universe are trying to make right now with Nosferatu coming out, they probably won't do Dracula anytime soon with the bride coming. They probably won't do Frankenstein.
01:07:23
Speaker
yeah They are doing Frankenstein, but it's just not. It's not universal. It's Guillermo del Toro. Yeah. Which try to fucking answer that, man. Yeah. Well, you know what that leaves, right? It's got sauce. The mummy. Oh, fuck. I don't want to talk about. No, they did that. They tried doing that. They tried. We don't talk. Yeah, we don't talk about that. That's fucking horrible. I was going to say creature from the black lagoon. Which I heard on a podcast that fits in the works. Uh oh. That's what I heard. Oh boy.
01:07:54
Speaker
That movie's great, by the way. The the fucking 4K steel book looks gorgeous. The 4K transfers blew me away. The movie was a little, you know. Yeah, James Wan is making it.
James Wan's Movie Success
01:08:12
Speaker
I think it's supposed to come out this year. I like James Wan. Fuck. James Wan is hard for me because he he's like banger. He makes pears in an ass. Shit.
01:08:23
Speaker
He made Night Swim, which is like one of the worst movies of last year. Conjuring Banger. First Insidious, Banger. Saw, Banger. Even the first Insidious, I don't like that much. And I think two and three are just a copycat of it. Yeah, that's true. But worse. Which Lee Whannell also directed the third one, which I didn't like. Megan, Banger. Look, here's where I'm at.
01:08:46
Speaker
If you want to invest in a universe, okay, if you want to buy yourself a movie ticket and go to the movies and and be like, this is a cool, not MCU level of like world building, but you want to go see like a little neat universe that has some a good lore. Let me tell you right now, right?
Introduction to Twisted Child Universe
01:09:04
Speaker
The pooverse, the pooverse poo-niverse, whatever we're calling it, what is it? It's that, right? So unofficially, like the, uh,
01:09:15
Speaker
The fandom calls it the Poonaverse, but it's technically called the Twisted Child universe, the TCU. The TCU? Let me tell you this, okay? I was gonna save this for our next recording, but I went and saw the Neverland Nightmare movie. That's like the Peter Pan one. Movie's fucking great.
01:09:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'm fucking pissed. I couldn't. I mean, blew me away. I was expecting like shit, you know, like first Winnie the Pooh. Yeah. Or even the second one. Whatever. In reality, right?
Neverland Nightmare Exceeds Expectations
01:09:45
Speaker
Like he's like a serial killer. That's so it toes the line. The majority of the movie. Oh, you don't you don't know if he's like a human or if he's like supernatural.
01:09:55
Speaker
Right. But then by the end, you they they but are able to draw a line in the sand. I wrote this in my review. I don't know if you peeped that or not, ah but it was pretty wild what I said. The sibling couple. couple of Whoa. What the fuck? No. No, no, no, no, no. um The sibling, they're like the main characters of this movie.
01:10:21
Speaker
Sienna and Jonathan y'all better watch the fuck out. Oh, I did see that all right all right the act first of all This movie was definitely produced in Australia somewhere Which could be fake news, but it definitely is not fake news because they all have accents and it's not London in it There the acting performance by the two of them are great the younger brothers spoilers this movie is gay They make this kid gay and that's okay. That's okay yeah It's great. Hey be gay whatever you want. I mean like its it didn't seem forced No, okay, cool. No, I'm okay. I don't care about gay characters. Just don't force it down my throat No pause needed no pause cuz
Twisted Child Universe Investment
01:11:02
Speaker
it's talk about gay um Either way movie blew me away I was so shocked how good it was if you guys want to invest your time into a
01:11:14
Speaker
a universe, TCU, where it's at. TCU is where it's at. maybe well Whenever it goes on streaming, check it out. Maybe skip the first Winnie the Pooh. It's rough. We're actually going to do an episode on that, and I think you're wrong. It's what? I'm wrong. We've already been over this. I like the first one.
01:11:33
Speaker
I think the second one has really bad CGI blood. I don't think it's as bad CGI as Wolfman, Wolfmane, as we're talking about right now. Hey, I gave i gave Winnie the Pooh two, three and a half stars. Which is wild. Speaking of stars. Yeah. Where are you at with Wolfman? Two.
Wolfman's Creative Failures
01:11:51
Speaker
Nothing else needs to be said from two stars. Movie is boring. It has no...
01:11:59
Speaker
Creativity to it besides the one like little vision full vision thing that I mentioned distorted sound that's it They try to touch on some topics. They try to put in some ah thematic elements that they just briefly touch on and then never go back to like why did they hear that spider going like When it was walking and then like in yeah cool, right? It was cool. They never go back to it movies an hour and 45 minutes.
01:12:27
Speaker
Yeah, they have yeah like you said, they got one little bits, the tiniest bits of sauce and then they just don't capitalize. so Not good. Like that's cool. Like he's got like, you know, improved hearing. That's dope. Use that more. I initially wrote that his gradual infection was a positive for me, but I actually don't think I liked it. I think he looked like as he like decay or transformed, it looked good in certain stages, but it's like just fucking transform already, dude.
01:12:57
Speaker
Yeah, you know, it it reminded me way more of like a zombie transformation than a werewolf. I agree with that. Right. I agree with that. Yeah. That's what he kind of looks like, too. Kind of looks like a zombie. They don't look very I feel like put this in the same universe as that movie, The Last Voyage of the the Demeter. Because that would be sucks, too. So just put these all together. I have a little universe over there. There's a Dracula. You got Wolfman. Put those.
01:13:27
Speaker
put those over there and put the fucking tom cruise mummy in that shit too put them all over there let them have their own fucking universe where nobody likes those movies they made no money and they suck you heard it here first what are you giving it for rating the universally trash universe over there yeah yeah dude uh trash cinematic universe the other tcu there you go i like that garbage i'm also out of two Wow, I do you were like, I'm leaning positive and gave it a two. That is. Yeah. But then the more we talk, the more we talked about it, the less I could find the talk about. I don't, I don't mean, I don't mean to like tell you like I'm what I'm saying is right. Obviously this is subjective. It's whatever, yeah you know, well you, the listener or you I do. think Okay. I do like it more than you. So I'll give it a two and a half. I was at two and a half. And then I listened to a house cinema's episode on it. Shout out to them. And I hated it even more. I got it it's a silly movie that has nothing to say.
01:14:23
Speaker
And they're like, uh, I'm going to murder my own husband because he got infected with a disease and then not really care. Yeah. I didn't walk out of the movie like mad. I just walked out of it like indifferent. Like I wasn't like overly like, yeah, it was great. Or I wasn't like, I'm going to fucking suck. Like I was just kind of straight across. Like that was a film I watched. I would say I walked out disappointed. Disappointed. Yeah.
01:14:52
Speaker
That would be not mad, but definitely disappointed. I was like that was just kind of mid didn't really have much going for it Also, how the fuck was the budget for this 25 million? Just get a fucking house in the middle of nowhere and you're like shit It doesn't look like this bunch was 25 million low and the opening shots of like the scenery and all that look great they do that does look good and you could really do a lot with like um how do i say this If Oregon looks like that I'm down to go it does I've never been, you've been to Oregon? No, but like you can just Google Oregon. That's what it looks like. That's okay. That's fair. Also, my sister's a friend that lives out there. So I've seen pictures online, but sick. It looks beautiful. You could really do a lot with like, you're alone in the woods. And then they just do this silly, like, let's run around. And they also open in the the opening, like lines are the, uh, the indigenous people call it like the face of the wolf, like this disease that goes around. They just mentioned that and then like do nothing else with it.
01:15:51
Speaker
That's what I'm saying, like it has little bits of sauce, but they don't do anything. It's not even sauce, bro. That shit's like the wrong ingredients to make sauce. Sauce has not been cooked yet. I don't know. um Yeah, so I'm two for me. My 2025 rankings for movies that I've watched so far as far as releases is kind of wild. It's Peter Pan number one. Peter Pan is number two. OK, what's number one? We got ah I mentioned, it I think,
01:16:21
Speaker
I don't know why I'm actually the count of Monte Cristo. All right. Yeah, Nick Lee came out in 2024 But fuck you didn't cut in the states till this year. Fuck you Peter Pan's Neverland nightmare four stars number two. Should you watch? Wallace and Gromit vengeance most foul came out I like Wallace and Gromit. I think those are fun movies The only one I've seen was the were were rabbit. That's a good one. Yeah, I like that one Uh, vengeance most foul did not really land for me. So I'm never going to beat the accusations that I don't like movies, but, uh, shout out autumn. I guess yo autumn. Thanks for coming and jumping my car last night. Spoiler. Autumn did not Mark. Mark doesn't know how to jump a car. Mark. you what What the fuck, Mark? Really? I didn't either. To be fair. I don't, I don't know how to jump a car. Oh, well, I also, we also don't have the cables. So we needed someone with cables. That's also a rut, rut too. Shadow autumn.
01:17:15
Speaker
So now you know how to trip a car? Yeah. Good. Now I just need to buy the cables. Cause your car straight died. Straight died. Like that shit was, there was no chance. Yeah. It was like, fuck you. Uh, I'm out. Yeah. I mean, uh, and Bob in the barrel for this year is going to be Wolfman.
01:17:36
Speaker
This is so far. This is a contender for one of the most disappointing movies of the year. I mean, we got it had. So it really had a chance to be great. And it just wasn't. I mean, let's see. We got I will be honest, though, as soon as the opening credits came out, like, start rolling. me I saw Blumhouse. I was like, I were fucked. Oh, yeah. I didn't know in the back of my head. I was like, we're fucked. But that was like me. Push it down. And then I. Yeah. I didn't know it was Blumhouse before going into it. Neither did I. Until I would have. often scream and was like I would have known. Yeah. ah I mean, yeah, next week, next week, we got another horror movie.
Anticipation for Steven Soderbergh's Presence
01:18:12
Speaker
This is gonna be good. It's gotta to be right.
01:18:15
Speaker
Presence by Steven Soderbergh, a man that actually cares about his movies and what he makes. There's no way it's not going to be good. I've heard reviews of people who've already seen this movie, and they say it's good. They say it's scary? Good. Not scary. They say it's good. I think it's, i from what i I heard a little bit, the trailers are kind of a misdirect of what the movie actually is. Was it like a thriller? um Probably. I'm not going in expecting straight horror, but I'm excited for that movie. I've had it on my watch list for a while. So that would be good.
