Cabinet of Curiosities Part Two Overview
00:00:17
Speaker
All right, welcome back to Fright Central. And today we're going to do part two of our Cabinet of Curiosities. And I'm back here again with Keck. So we're on episode five, Pikmin's Model. This was a short story based on Lovecraft, and it is directed by Keith Thomas, who did The Vigil 2019 and that Firestarter remake in 2022. Oh, he did the Firestarter remake? Yeah.
00:00:26
Speaker
Welcome to life.
00:00:47
Speaker
That was, um, very good. But, uh, and just to be, um, totally clear, um, our last test, we, um, talked about the first half of cabinet of curiosities.
Podcast Structure Explained
00:01:05
Speaker
I just want to be clear, they all came out on Netflix at the same time. This wasn't like four episodes and then four episodes just to give like cabinet like the proper and do respect because of our limitations using the Zoom software. We decided to do these in two parts. There wasn't like actually a part one and a part two. This is just our part one and part two.
00:01:30
Speaker
Yeah, I also did it this way, even if we could record longer, just because I don't think anybody wants to listen to us for an hour and 20 minutes, so that it breaks up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, very, very well. I don't know if anyone wants to listen to us at all. But we have to listen. We're not advertising. We get to listen to stuff.
00:01:54
Speaker
Anyway, back to Pickman's model.
Pikmin's Model: Cast and Lovecraftian Elements
00:01:59
Speaker
This starred Ben Barnes. He was a painter at this art school. He's a pretty good painter by himself, and of course it takes place in Arkham.
00:02:12
Speaker
And that's where I like that was like the first mention when they talked about the Mesotonic University and Arkham. That's when I was like, oh, shit, this is Lovecraft, like without even knowing the story. Yeah, I recognized it was killing me because I could not remember where I recognized the actor from who played the artist. And then it hit me that I knew him.
00:02:36
Speaker
from another movie that I had seen years ago called Margin Call, but most recently, he played the villain in The Punisher. Yes, and he was in Westworld. Yeah, yeah, he was in Westworld. Yeah, that's another book. But I remember them from Punisher and bang, it just hit me when you said Westworld. And then, of course, the great Crispin Glover. Yeah.
00:03:03
Speaker
kind of comes in and his performance. I mean, he was Crispin Glover, the eccentric Crispin Glover that we all know and love. And he was fucking brilliant. And it's crazy because last night I was telling you that I did not have
00:03:23
Speaker
your recollection of this episode and I skim through it today and I was just thinking how the fuck could you have not
00:03:34
Speaker
remember this episode and I've realized I did like fully remember the entire episode. It was just the very end that I was a little bit confused about because the ending of this episode all the way took me by storm like I like I had no idea
00:03:53
Speaker
that, like, it was going to go there. But, like, do you want to give, like, your initial, like, reaction to
Pikmin's Model: Plot and Themes
00:04:01
Speaker
this? Do you want to give your little synopsis to this? Well, yeah, I'll go through the story real quick. Yeah, basically, he becomes friends with Chris Van Glover at art school, and his paintings are of his, like, horrific works of art.
00:04:17
Speaker
start memorizing. Yeah, everybody else is just like your average art school student trying to make it trying to impress the dean trying to impress the administration to go on to you know their
00:04:34
Speaker
You know, uh, and they're all kind of like, um, upper-class gentlemen. I think this is, I think it is, it's supposed to take place in the United States or England. I was not sure on that. Well, it's Massachusetts. Oh, it is in Massachusetts. Okay. Oh yeah. It is in New England. That's right. They make, they make, um, mention that Crispin Glover's family. Um, he had like a gigantic inheritance, his family.
00:05:02
Speaker
had been living there for like generations and they were very very very wealthy and it allowed him, they mentioned that he was able to travel the globe based on like his great wealth. So I think it starts off with like a little bit of envy for his character and then they realized that his art is
00:05:24
Speaker
completely unique from everyone else's? Yeah, it jumped 17 years after the initial meeting. And Ben Barnes, his character, who's now a museum curator, who's still disturbed by Pickman's work and has dreams about it. Pickman's now a successful artist. He shows up and visits them at work. And he's like, dude,
00:05:53
Speaker
I don't want to play your shit on buckets. Wait, wait, wait one sec. Just slow down real quick because there is something that happens. So yeah, like you, like you said, it jumped 17 years, but right before that jump.
00:06:08
Speaker
it gets to a point where the two of them kind of bond. Like he actually wants Pinkman to be a part of their scene. He saw some of his work and he was intrigued by it because the faculty, the administration, they were kind of like very critical of Pinkman's work
00:06:29
Speaker
And so he actually goes out with Pinkman. Pinkman invites him to his house. And at his house, he sees not only like some of the work that Pinkman has not shown anyone else, but he tells him the story of like his family who apparently like were cannibals and like were eating like human flesh.
00:06:55
Speaker
And like he is like morbidly disturbed and kind of like just storms out of there, tells everybody, you know, this motherfucker is crazy. Boom.
00:07:06
Speaker
fast forward 17 years later, sorry to interrupt. No, let's go. I kind of forgot about that. I just wanted to make, I just wanted to like, yeah, he goes over to his house and Pinkman's like, yeah, like, can you hear my ancestors? Can you hear my kin under the earth as they eat the flesh of like, you know, and he's just like,
00:07:29
Speaker
hearing like he's having like visual and auditory hallucinations as he's telling them this story. And the guy leaves like severely traumatized. Yeah. And then he just kind of like shows up again one day, he finds out that the guy has like an exhibit or something and has become like an established artist. And when he finds out that he's going to be in town,
00:07:56
Speaker
the guy is just bugged out that there are even in proximity to one another. Yeah, he shows up at his, he's a museum curator now and like Pikmin's, he wants to show off his work to everyone and Pikmin wants to stop it. But Pikmin's like, no, I want you to come back to my house and see my work. And like, if you don't agree then, then I'll leave it alone. I'll leave you out of your life. Yeah.
00:08:22
Speaker
And he that's when he's like, yeah, my my these aren't based on my imagination, but it's like real life scenes and scenes of the future. And like, and that's when like a demon like depicted one of the paintings like comes after like he like they get into a little scuffle and like he attacks him. Well, he shows up at one point, he just shows up at the guy's house on him.
00:08:50
Speaker
No, he showed up at like the cemetery where he was painted and then he invites him back to his oh he shows up to Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying like yeah Yeah 17 years later like he just kind of actually goes to this guy's home on a note Yeah I think I think he actually gets home from work and finds that his wife and son are like alone in his house and
00:09:18
Speaker
with Pinkman there who he had no idea like was going to show up. So he's like charming his life and everything. Yeah. So this was like deeply traumatic. He found out that he was like talking to his son as well.
Pikmin's Model: Art's Influence and Climax
00:09:33
Speaker
And his son, like the night after he talks to him, his son like wakes up screaming what like terrible nightmares. Yeah. So there is now like a real hostile relationship.
00:09:47
Speaker
these guys. And Crispin Glover's character who is a threat to this guy, he doesn't seem like he wants to harm this guy. Like he wants to, he wants this guy to feel his work. He wants this guy to come into his world. He, you know, he wants to be friends with this dude, but the other guy is like just so repulsed
00:10:12
Speaker
by Pinkman's art and he has no idea what is like truly inspired Scott. Yeah.
00:10:22
Speaker
which leads us sort of to the conclusion where in like a final confrontation, if you will, when he's like burning all the artwork and like, yeah, like he basically decides like, yo, like this guy is too dangerous. His art has sort of like, if you remember the film,
00:10:45
Speaker
uh, in the mouth, the madness of Sam Neil, where like they're, yeah, he's like, his art is like corrupting people. He goes to his house, tries to destroy it. And well, a creature comes out of a well, and the rest is all gravy, baby.
Transition to 'Dreams in a Witch House'
00:11:02
Speaker
It's just, it's just nuts. The creature is of course, very Lovecraftian, um, you know, and, uh,
00:11:10
Speaker
it was fucking awesome yeah and then even the end when he goes back home to see his wife and son and like what he discovers when he gets back home it's real yeah wasn't his like wife like roasting his son in the oven it was depicted in one of the paintings yeah yeah and they're all bleeding from their eyes too which is like sort of what happened in the mouth of madness when people would uh
00:11:33
Speaker
read Trevor Kane's novels. They would like Sutter Kane's future. It reminded me a lot of Mouth of Madness, but instead of literature, it was artwork. And of course, Mouth of Madness was
00:11:56
Speaker
had very lovecraft game features in there. It was highly based on what the crafts work. So, you know, with like I said, it is all great. They all fucking awesome. Yeah, I love this episode as well. And then but then then the next one is what was the next one called Dreams in a Witch House? Dreams in the Witch
'Dreams in a Witch House': Themes and Supernatural Elements
00:12:16
Speaker
House. And who did this? Catherine Hardwick, who did I mean, she did the Twilight series, but she'd also done like
00:12:26
Speaker
Oh boy, what was it? No, I'm thinking of the wrong person. Uh, she did Lords of Dogtown, uh, the Red Riding Hood, uh, like, uh, Mystery Horror, uh, uh, series. And she did like, she did the first Twilight movie. This was sort of like a flagship episode. And what I mean by that is like, when I saw like the previews for, uh, Cabinet of Curiosity, like, um, in the trailer, like this was the predominant episode that was like featured.
00:12:55
Speaker
at least in the trailer i saw this episode i thought had the most like cgi in it um you know it had like the uh the evil witch who i mean i personally thought like i mean the story is basically like when this guy's um
00:13:13
Speaker
very young this young boy he loses his sister and he is obsessed with the fact that he wasn't able to protect his sister and later on in his life someone says like
00:13:26
Speaker
I have a drug that will be able to take you into the beyond and you'll be able to see your sister again and talk to your sister. He does that and then he becomes obsessed with the idea that he not only was able to see his sister, but he's going to bring her back. Yeah, he was able to like.
00:13:47
Speaker
grab her and bring back part of her dress. Like Freddy Krueger like when she like pulled his hat out of the dream like you know what I mean like it was something like that so he realizes that like by using this drug and going into this world but yeah um
00:14:05
Speaker
Like with anybody experimenting with drugs in multiple dimensions where you try to pull into these through, ripples happen. Yeah, you might bring back something that shouldn't come with as well. Yeah, there is an evil witch and the witch like is able to deduce that they are twins. And it's been like, well, the witch
00:14:31
Speaker
Before she became like this evil witch, uh, she had works done. She was like, sort of like an artist and she had a literature and stuff and people would like follow her works. And she was killed at the witch trials was that that was like what happened to her. She was like condemned at the witch trials.
00:14:53
Speaker
And then there was like another guy, she was like friends with, who like got transformed to like a little rodent. Yeah, with the face that I wish was that DJ Quales' face from all over, right? Yeah. That's the most disturbing part about that episode. I liked it. I liked it.
00:15:11
Speaker
I like that little critter. And he ends up running the room in the Executed, which is in a house of the Executed Witch. So that's how they bring her out of the house. Yeah, they bring it together. But yeah, when he's doing this interdimensional or whatever you want to call it between worlds, travel, the witch senses that like, oh, you know,
00:15:36
Speaker
their twins and it's been prophesized that like I'll be able to return based on certain conditions and she like is able to recognize that like this is like the perfect scenario for her and her little critter buddy to like
00:15:54
Speaker
return into like, you know, the world of the living and wreak havoc. I assume she wanted to come back. He wanted to like, possess his body, I think it was. But like, he ends up like, you know, defeating her and
00:16:12
Speaker
Well, he ends up like semi defeating her. I don't know. You don't really. Yeah, it was a sister ends up, you know, passing peacefully and then also kills the witch who dies peacefully herself. But that's what his sister was able to kill the witch. That's what happened. Yeah. Yeah. They were kind of like sacrificed herself and said, like,
00:16:42
Speaker
because briefly he was able to bring his sister back into the world. She has a great sacrifice in herself. Yes, I remember she says, I'm no longer afraid. I accept it, my fate. And yes, so she kind of takes the witch, but then the little critter guy. Yeah, he takes advantage of his body. In the process of this, the other twin, he also dies, the one that failed protection.
00:17:12
Speaker
And the little critter guy kind of does, um, sort of like what the alien creature did in part three kind of goes inside. This guy possesses his body, like literally like, like crawls into his guts and like takes over the guy's body and is like, I'm back, baby. And, you know, I assume he gets up to all kinds of, uh,
00:17:37
Speaker
troubling episode where the disturbing rat face thing and uh and when he's like he's just like yeah i'll do some drugs to fuck
00:17:52
Speaker
a shady opium then. And they're just like, yeah, this is taking me after that. He was like, oh, really? All right. Like he was in like a spiritual society and they were kind of like, yeah, we don't have a budget for all this. Like, and then when he was like, oh, there's this like golden drug or whatever they call it. And they were like, yeah, they were like, no, we don't fucking that that goes against everything that we fucking stand for it. But I think at that point, the guy was just I mean, he had been obsessing his whole life that he had failed.
00:18:21
Speaker
So he was willing to do pretty much anything. But this was actually adapted previously in the Masters of Horror show. I don't know if you remember that. It was on Showtime. Oh, yeah, I remember that. It was directed by Stuart Gordon. He adapted a version of this.
00:18:39
Speaker
It's a little different. I think this one's a little bit better. Yeah, I remember Masters of Horror. I remember several episodes. I remember some of the actors and actresses, whatnot. But I don't remember this adaptation. It was definitely different, that's for sure. But it still had the witch and the fucking rat-faced fucking thing. Those were really important. That rat-faced thing.
00:19:04
Speaker
The only other thing in closing I wanted to mention is for some reason, I don't know, I thought that this was like a pretty decent episode. Like, you know, I, I thought that cabinets was amazing. I've already stayed at that several times, but on IMDB, people really trashed this episode. And I was just a little bit surprised by that because I thought it was
00:19:27
Speaker
Pretty solid.
Introduction to 'The Viewing'
00:19:28
Speaker
I like the story. I mean, yes, it was much more heavily reliant on CGI, but I thought the CGI was well done. I mean, I really enjoyed it. I'm not really sure why it got trashed the way it did, but you know, is what it is. But the next episode was a, I mean, if it was not for the excellent performance of F. Murray Abraham, I think that this would have been my favorite episode.
00:19:56
Speaker
This shit was my fucking jail. Who did this? Paunos. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing this right, but Paunos. He's an Italian Canadian director who did Mandy.
00:20:12
Speaker
Oh, okay. And now that you, now that you see that in your mind, you're gonna be like, okay, I definitely see the style and like the, and everything that was going on in, uh, in this episode. Uh, but yeah, it's, uh, stars, uh, Peter Weller and Eric Andre. And, uh, they basically, uh, he's like this recluse, um, you know, Howard Hughes kind of like, yeah.
00:20:39
Speaker
But instead of like working on airplanes, I don't know if they really say what he he's like a collector. Yeah. Yeah. Of rare art and just rare everything. Like, for example, he would go out and find like brilliant musicians and pay them to like exclusively do things for him.
00:21:05
Speaker
or find the best architects and pay them to exclusively work for him and build homes just for him. So he was about going out and using his wealth to just get himself the best of everything.
'The Viewing': Characters and Surreal Experience
00:21:26
Speaker
And he was obsessed with collecting really rare things that no one else
00:21:34
Speaker
Yeah and he has a secret room with this meteor so he invites like all these different people that are like kind of
00:21:44
Speaker
It's like the late 70s, and it's like the... Yeah, it's supposed to be the late 70s. Yeah, late 70s, early, I think it was the late 70s. I think they might have said 79, I'm not sure. Yeah, he invites a musician, a astrophysicist who studies extraterrestrial life, a best-selling author, and a psychic. And he is already there, besides Peter Weller is his physician.
00:22:11
Speaker
And like, they just slowly start building up. Physician is kind of a very blustered in the relationship. It kind of seemed like they might have had like a intimate romantic relationship. Yeah, she definitely, he says she keeps him alive, but yeah.
00:22:31
Speaker
was a lot going on there but uh then they slowly start with like they're all they all have their favorite drinks there and then like like oh then they slowly do all right smoke this fucking weed and then it was like all right do this okay it reminded me of the movie sphere you know when they're um trying to assemble the team when they uh find out that they're going to
00:22:57
Speaker
uh, have contact with extraterrestrial being. They assemble a team of like an anthropologist, a mathematician, you know, all these people. Well, Peter Weller, like he goes a different route and it's like, yo, I'm going to get like, you know, um, a brilliant musician and like one scientist and then like, you know, a psychic and like a great writer or something like that. Um,
00:23:27
Speaker
a real kind of arrogant asshole writer, actually. Yeah. And we're going to all get together and instead of like, you know, sit around and talk scientifically, we're going to snore the bunch of blow up. Yeah, they like build up to it. And then like, when they do the coke, it's like,
00:23:47
Speaker
Coke and then like I'm some custom drug made by yeah, they they do trail mix they cut it They cut the coke with like some other drug that's like unrecognizable on the spectrum Yeah, but yeah, we're gonna get all like the same wavelength is what she's yeah It's really funny because yeah, like you said, it's obvious that like Peter Weller's character had been using like his vast resources and
00:24:14
Speaker
to dig into every aspect of these people's lives. Yeah. Because he knew everything about them, like, you know, like literally like to the amount like how many lumps of sugar you would have in your coffee. Like he knew every like he knew how they would tie their shoes. But he just knew everything about them. And, you know, so they're kind of like caught off guard by that.
00:24:43
Speaker
And, uh, yeah, so he, he wants to get real, dude, it was just so out there, like he's doing like, like,
00:24:55
Speaker
I'm sorry, it's so well. But if you don't know from the movie Scarface when Tony Montana is like sticking his head in the blow at the end, there's like this like one shot of Peter Weller and he's just like everyone indulge. And he's got like this long ass straw and he's just doing like this pile of cocaine.
00:25:18
Speaker
Yeah, like everybody else has like a couple lines laid out. He's got like a pile and he's like everyone indulge in the chicks. Like if you've never done cocaine.
00:25:28
Speaker
in your life, now is the time to do it. Like this is best cocaine that's ever been produced on a private island with like a security fortress around it, just guarding this coke. And for some reason, we're all going to do mad blow and get as fucked up as possible. Check out this meteor I got. We're going to check out this meteor that we're almost certain is also an alien. Yeah.
00:25:58
Speaker
And then Eric Andre keeps fucking lighting up a joint he keeps telling them to put it out. And like, yeah, like eventually, like he's like blowing the smoke into the meteor, like crack open and like ooze and fucking
00:26:14
Speaker
like it just starts melting people's faces. Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's some like John Carpenter's it going on there, like people like melting and stuff like that. Yeah, it's really hard.
00:26:29
Speaker
like we tried our best now to like kind of set the premise but if you haven't seen it it's like very hard to describe exactly what happens in the ending of this it's just one of those things where like if listening to us describe this if you haven't seen it yet and you're not intrigued
'The Viewing': Artifact Reveal and Impact
00:26:49
Speaker
Then, like, I don't know. Yeah, I feel like they kind of had a similar ending to the very first episode with the creature was unleashed, and then like it gets out into the world I thought it was a similar ending to that. I mean there were different creatures.
00:27:05
Speaker
But I mean, they both end up all in the world at the end after killing everyone that's around them. Yeah. I mean, you don't know exactly what's going to happen, but you would assume that it's going to be bad. Yeah. Because, yeah, this entity is obviously hostile. And of course, the Lovecraft monster from the first episode
00:27:31
Speaker
That thing was definitely fucking hostile, but it kind of the creature also was possibly going to be sharing a consciousness with Peter Weller. Yeah, because Peter Weller kind of becomes the creature and the creature kind of becomes Peter Weller. I kind of got the feeling that this creature might be trying to like more
00:27:58
Speaker
observe the human race and like might have like some more mercy when like the Lovecraftian thing just wants to like, you know, have to to come into the world or whatever. And yeah, you know, rain and darkness. Yeah, I wasn't really sure where they were going with the ending. Well, I mean, it was just fucking awesome. Like every everything was just fucking great. I think it's unleashed. You have to check this out. Yeah. Like I said, if you only watch
00:28:26
Speaker
one episode of cabinet of curiosity watch episode three well if you only watch two episodes of cabinet watch three and seven yeah that's what i would say but anyway what we're getting to the end here it is the final episode
Introduction to 'The Murmuring'
00:28:46
Speaker
Who exactly did this? It's called The Murmuring, and this was based on a short by Guillermo del Toro. It was directed by Jennifer Kent, who did The Babadook and Nightingale. Oh, I like The Babadook, although I hated that annoying fucking kid. Yeah.
00:29:04
Speaker
And it stars Esther Davis, who's an Australian actress. Yeah, I've recognized her and the Walking Dead. Andrew Lincoln from the Walking Dead, yes. Rick. Yeah, Rick.
00:29:19
Speaker
Yeah, this one takes place in like the the fifties and they are like studying bird migrations, I guess. They're just there. Yeah. A certain species of bird star wings. Yeah. Yeah. And they are not migration. They are studying the patterns that birds make. If anybody is familiar with this, I mean, I've seen this before.
00:29:49
Speaker
where birds are in like a large cluster and they kind of like in unison like do like this like seemingly like choreographed patterns in the sky like I don't know if you've ever seen that before. Yeah. I have on like a few occasions it's pretty fucking amazing.
00:30:09
Speaker
And they were basically studying how these birds move in unison. And they have like a bunch of different theories like from telekinesis to like all birds like just I don't know having like some kind of hive mind and stuff like that.
00:30:28
Speaker
And this takes place, they go into like this old house. Like a remote country hall by late. Yeah. Where do you remember where it is? Because I think this was again, like it seemed like a lot of this, a lot of stories in cabinets took place in the New England area.
'The Murmuring': Themes and Ghostly Elements
00:30:48
Speaker
Yeah. And I think that this was also in like that area. You get like kind of like a Dan Tuckett sort of vibe.
00:30:54
Speaker
I'm not sure. I don't think so, but I felt like it was like along the coast. I think it was a very remote area. And this episode, I'm conflicted by it because to one degree, I mean, I've really liked like the Alfred Hitchcockian, if you will, like sort of vibe, like with the birds.
00:31:24
Speaker
But then it goes into a thing of the haunted house that they're staying in. And also we should point out that this is a man and a wife who are the researchers studying these birds. And they had recently had a tragic loss of a child. Yeah. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but it was some kind of tragic accident where they lost their child and their marriage
00:31:54
Speaker
is like really, really suffering because I mean any situation where, you know,
00:32:03
Speaker
Anyway, she's not really ready to talk about it. And like he wants to like, you know, kind of move, like not necessarily move on, but you know, restore the real wants to get back to living life, you know, and he's just broken up. So it's a very rough situation. But like, I guess what I would what got me was
00:32:27
Speaker
They went from being bird researchers and it went from something where like, you know, I was like saying, like, all right, this is going to be the birds. Like the birds are going to. Yeah, stuff like that. Well, then it just went into like this, like really like, um, you know, tragic story of loss of a child. And like, they're in like this one house and she's having visions of like what she believes happened there. This.
00:32:55
Speaker
woman who drowned her child and then committed suicide and her husband is not having these visions
00:33:05
Speaker
He thinks that she's just like really sleep. The brave talks about how she hasn't slept in like a year properly. And it seemed like this episode was kind of having like an identity crisis to me. Like it didn't really know what it wanted to be. Yeah, I kind of felt the same way. I think the both were definitely, uh, were throwing me off as well. But yeah, it ended up just being like about like, um,
00:33:32
Speaker
A woman. Yeah, them. Well, well, they weren't really fitting with
Critique and Series Conclusion
00:33:37
Speaker
the rest of them. This is the only kind of didn't really fit in with the rest of them because like I thought the ghost stuff was kind of weak. And in the end, it's just very basic, like, OK, like she gets she sees the ghost kids like, hey, like run into the light and then she sees the woman throw herself off the balcony, realizing that her angry screams were in anguish over John and her son.
00:33:59
Speaker
yeah yeah spirit is carried by the enormous bird so i guess that was the where the birds yeah i guess i was supposed to be the symbolism in there i mean
00:34:09
Speaker
I thought it was very well done for her to like, uh, you know, uh, cry and comfort her own grief. And that's when, uh, talk about, yeah, she wants to talk. She wants to live again. Like you could, there was a lot of like sexual frustration in the marriage too, because like, you could tell like, you know, he, he wanted to be with his wife and like,
00:34:32
Speaker
She didn't even want to be touched and, you know, but yeah, in the end, she like, uh, is able to through the experience, she's able to overcome her grief. And she kind of like feels in the end, like I want to live again. Like, you know, I want to go with my life.
00:34:51
Speaker
I don't because they're at one point like it looks like they're going to divorce or whatever, but I thought it had an identity crisis. It seems like you sort of felt the same and I thought it was very well done. I thought it was very well acted. I thought it looked really great.
00:35:08
Speaker
The story was just kind of meh. And then especially after coming after that last episode, if you watch back and really like the different pacing and everything like it. Exactly. Yeah, it was extremely slow. And it just I guess I wish I could have ended with the last one.
00:35:25
Speaker
Yeah, you would think, you know, you with a series like that, where you have a series of shorts, you want to start off with a bang, which they did. And then you want to end on a bang, you know, you want a strong first, strong second, something good in the middle, like in the body. And I thought they had been doing that with the show. And I'm not really sure why they chose to end with this. I think much better.
00:35:53
Speaker
Uh, would have been the previous episode with Peter Weller. That's how I think about it. But hey, that's uh, you know, that's just my opinion by the cabinet's curiosity.
00:36:05
Speaker
Check it out. My ranking, my ranking would be autopsy episode three, the viewing episode seven, then probably a lot 36, uh, kind of a toss up between graveyard rats and Pikmin's model. I think those were two were really solid. Then probably dreams in a witch house, the outside and then, uh, the murmuring.
00:36:30
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't rank mine like that, but I already said, Hey, three was my favorite. Seven was my number two, very close number two. And then I mean, I just liked everything. I thought it was like, well, you really should just check it all out. Even the ones that we said weren't that great. You might have a totally different point of view, but anyway, thanks so much for joining us. That is our take on cabinets of curiosity. And, uh, we're going to be back soon talking about.
00:36:57
Speaker
a whole plethora of content. We will be back in a not too distant future. It was good talking to you, buddy. And we will see you next time. All right. See you next time. Peace.
