Transcript

Introduction and Context

00:00:24
Speaker
Hello, and welcome to Dead Notes, a horror and cult film podcast. I am Kevin, and here with me is a guy that is in constant need of penicillin for a bad case of Singaya.
00:00:39
Speaker
ah i'm Alan, and we're talking about Dead Alive, 1992. Or...
00:00:49
Speaker
you have to you have to You have to host this entire episode like that. Like what? What do you mean? What exactly are you talking about?
00:01:03
Speaker
Nothing. Nothing at all.

Why 'Dead Alive' is a Must-Watch?

00:01:07
Speaker
Oh, man. This movie is goaded. It's one of the best. Absolutely.
00:01:14
Speaker
It is an absolute holy grail, and it's a rite of passage for any horror fan. Absolutely. Yep, definitely. ah You have ah must watch it.
00:01:27
Speaker
I remember... i remember um Well, they still people still say this is the goriest film of all time, which is probably not true, but... but ah that By today's standards, I would say, you know, it still holds up and it's still a runner up because of the ridiculousness of the gore, you know, as opposed to...
00:01:50
Speaker
What I mean by that, it just sucks because a lot of people won't watch it because of that. But yeah so it's so tongue in cheek. it's it's a It's a horror comedy. And I don't think i don't think that gets said enough because people just think it's like this gory, disturbing movie. And that's not it at all.
00:02:08
Speaker
No, it's not really disturbing. It's so silly. It's everything like if Sam Raimi could have done back when he was doing like Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, you know, the originals where he got kind of cut off from doing a lot of what he wanted to do.
00:02:24
Speaker
You know, this is what we would have gotten. I think it was just so over the top and it's amazing.

Personal Anecdotes and Gore Debate

00:02:29
Speaker
Every bit of it's amazing. I will say, however, the fucking blood in this movie is is the most disgusting shit I've ever seen because it is so nasty.
00:02:43
Speaker
Yeah. In the scene, you know, the big scene, it, uh, it's just goop. It's like pus and blood. It is. It's the worst, like, cyst. Like, it's what you would think will come out of the inside of a big fucking cyst, dude.
00:02:59
Speaker
It's so fucking nasty. And, and you wouldn't think like, um, I don't know if you've ever seen the movie, the road, but that movie is fucking bleak.
00:03:11
Speaker
And the the thing that stuck out to me is the most disturbing thing in the entire movie was the old man sucking down the peaches out of the can. Oh, yeah. but ah Well, there's a there's a scene comparative Texas Chainsaw 3 when the mom that's got the voice, the smoker's box in her throat, she's sitting there sucking them lima beans out of the jar with her fingers. Yeah.
00:03:36
Speaker
Well, yeah, food, man, that's horror to me. That's disgust. Oh. ah

Humorous Tornado Warning and Survival Jokes

00:03:45
Speaker
Because the scene in this movie... You drink paste. Huh?
00:03:47
Speaker
That's because you drink paste. Yeah, yeah. The scene in this movie but ah probably trumps them all.
00:03:58
Speaker
Yeah. Which we'll get to... Well, I would say multiple, but yeah, there's some nasty fucking shit in this movie that's fucking great. Like, you're laughing at the same time as gagging. Like, it's it's yeah perfect.
00:04:12
Speaker

00:08:43
Speaker
This movie here starts on Monkey Island. That big fucking monkey.
00:08:51
Speaker
all Skull Island. Yeah. King Kong. I know. That's it's pretty wild. He was laying the groundwork already to do his King Kong movie. He was like link to Hollywood.
00:09:06
Speaker
How about let me do a King Kong movie? yeah
00:09:11
Speaker
Oh, man. Imagine if he made a King Kong movie where King Kong got bit by the rat monkey. Oh, dude. I would fucking... if i If I hit the lottery, I'm going to hit him up and fund that one.
00:09:26
Speaker
Yeah, he'd be like, no worries, mate, already wrote it. and All the natives would be like, Zyngaya! Yeah. Ultra Zyngaya.
00:09:37
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be sweet. Yeah, I love that. And then, you know, so Shows him running out, you know, with this fucking cage with all these natives.
00:09:48
Speaker
I love, like, how far he went to, like... the just detail and everything. And it was just slight little like things just to keep these, the scene running. You know what I'm saying?
00:10:01
Speaker
it was awesome. Yeah. awesome yeah ah This is like the fucking Stuart Stuart The fucking natives are chasing him and he he and this is nitpicking but he fires at him and they duck way after he starts shooting into the crowd like they other there there'd be some dead natives right there yeah dude Then he cuts the fucking supports off for the cage and throws it up on his shoulder. Mistake number one, dumbass.

Critique and Chaos in 'Dead Alive'

00:10:37
Speaker
He didn't know. He's like, get the fuck out of here.
00:10:43
Speaker
This, I'm a New Zealand zoo official. Yeah. This monkey is going to new town. Yes.
00:10:55
Speaker
I'm a New Zealand zoo official. And this monkey is going to new town. um Yeah, dude. It's fucking great. So they fucking look yeah they look load up that fucking Jeep and they take off and they leave one of the helpers, you know, with him. Yeah, that's number two.
00:11:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's number two. So he's fucking running. and They're like, let's get the fuck out of here. And Stuart starts getting fucking scratched up. Yeah, because they're hitting rocks and shit and the cage falls on his face.
00:11:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:32
Speaker
when they see the that he has been bit and they 300 kick him out of the Jeep. I love... Yeah, you get the first-person perspective of getting a boot to the face.
00:11:47
Speaker
I love that, too, about this movie because there's so many... I mean, clearly we know who his influence... A big ah influence to him was, you know? But, like, those just weird little short shots, you know? Like, just like that, you're seeing, like...
00:12:01
Speaker
perspective of taking a boot to the face it's fucking great it's great oh and they they locate the the um the bites on him and they cut his fucking

International Title Variations and Cult Status

00:12:16
Speaker
hands off yep and then they see the one on his forehead yep zingaya yeah he's like zingaya yeah you got the bite yeah yeah And then he cuts and then we get our fucking awesome title card. Big blood splatter.
00:12:36
Speaker
Splattered with blood from his head. Yeah. and for us And for us, it was dead alive. But... oh yeah. You know, when you're watching this in New Zealand...
00:12:51
Speaker
Yeah, any I think anywhere else in the world it's Brain Dead. and It's called Brain Dead, but in Dead Alive, there was another movie in 1990 with Bill Pullman called ah Brain Dead.
00:13:02
Speaker
Yeah. So they didn't want the confusion. Yeah. and And the studios just thought Dead Alive sounded cooler, apparently. Dead Alive's kind of sweet, though.
00:13:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good... That's what I call it. It's a chaotic title, yeah. um That's what I call it, being a stupid yank. Yeah. That's all we ever saw it as when we were younger. It wasn't until the internet got... Yeah, that's aging us. But it wasn't really until the internet got popular that we found out it was called Brain Dead.
00:13:37
Speaker
When was the first time that you saw this movie... I don't fucking know. I was in middle school, I think. Yeah.
00:13:48
Speaker
It's been, it's one of those movies that's just been around as long as I can remember. Right. Right. You know, dead alive. Cause it was notorious when we were in high school.
00:13:59
Speaker
Cause back then it was one of the fucking goriest movies, even though it's a horror comedy. Yeah. And you had to know somebody that kind of had this movie, too. Like, it wasn't just out there. Like, Peter Jackson was still, he was, like, a name. Like, you're like, oh, yeah, man, he put out some wild stuff, you know?
00:14:18
Speaker
But it was hard to obtain, you know, getting copies of them unless you actually ah had

Impact on Kevin and Alan's Youth

00:14:24
Speaker
a video store that would carry it, you know? and at least for me. It was hard for me to get my hands on.
00:14:30
Speaker
Well, i think it kind of suffered from the same problem that The Dead Next Door had, where the cover was kind of goofy. It didn't really grab you. you know It's a cool cover in retrospect, but and when you know when you're looking through all the movies on the shelf in the 90s, it just didn't stand out. ah Not to me, anyway.
00:14:52
Speaker
That's just a personal opinion. Yeah, but man, when we saw it, it was life-changing. It was like, this is the best movie I've ever seen in my life. Right.
00:15:05
Speaker
This was 100% on the, and still is, 100% on the same level ah Return the Living Dead. This was that movie that, like, you know, like on Natural Born Killers, where they're like, they leave one person alive to tell the tale. They're like, you know, McCree and Mallory Knox sent you.
00:15:24
Speaker
you know, whatever, it'd be like, Peter Jackson sends you. Sends his regards. his regards. And everybody's like, whoa.
00:15:38
Speaker
Hey, mate. I can't even laugh how Peter Jackson does. He's like, hee hee hee hee. Yeah.
00:15:52
Speaker
So our our ah rat monkey gets loaded on the plane and sent to Wellington Zoo. Yep. The Wellington Zoo.
00:16:03
Speaker
To Newtown. To Newtown. To Newtown. And this is our introduction to probably the horniest little ah lady in the whole town, Paquita.
00:16:17
Speaker
Yeah, Paquita. Paquita. Yeah. and and rod And she's flirting with Raja. oh Oh, my God. focus So, Raja pulls up in this, like, little white truck.
00:16:31
Speaker
I mean, I take it, you know, this is taking place, this you know, 1957, New Zealand or whatever, but this motherfucker gets out of here and he's, like, three feet taller than this fucking...
00:16:42
Speaker
But, you know, you know what that says about him? What? He has the confidence to drive a little goofy truck like that. He's probably got himself a thigh slapper.
00:16:55
Speaker
Just saying. Yeah. Yeah. ah Because the side of it says Kiwi, symbol of quality, bacon, ham, and small goods. Yeah.
00:17:07
Speaker
Roger's got the big goods.
00:17:13
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, shit. And they work in the tarot cards, you know, because you gotta. ah Yeah, you have to. think they're inconsequential. Well, no, actually, they're not they are important to the story because without the tarot cards, she would have never pursued Lionel.
00:17:30
Speaker
Right. it's helping It's helping carry along the story. And we get the tarot cards later, too, when we're getting ready to hit another peak of the story. So it's helping it's helping enhance it.
00:17:43
Speaker
Yeah, so Paquita's grandma is like that

Paquita and Lionel's Dynamic

00:17:46
Speaker
retard that sweeps the ice in front of that rock for curling. She's just steering towards the target without necessarily touching.
00:17:56
Speaker
Yeah. Pointing him towards the target. Right. Or the movie, actually. Kind of, sort of, yeah. yeah yeah And she ignores the goddamn oppression card.
00:18:09
Speaker
So this is kind of grandma's fault. ah Kind of, but she she's hoping that Paquita finds her love. you know i think that she just wants the best for her darling Paquita.
00:18:23
Speaker
so Well, you know i take that back anyway. This is nobody's fault but Stuart. This is all Stuart's fucking fault.
00:18:34
Speaker
I'm sorry, Grandma. I've maligned you unfairly. This is all Stuart's fault. Yeah. and It could also be something to where she told her too much of her fortunes, then that would result in something terrible happening as well.
00:18:52
Speaker
Jesus Christ. She is... Paquita is fucking horny. Oh my god! She drops Roger she and she forgets about Roger in a second. Well, only because she sees the symbol because, you know, she's flirting with Roger. She's like really laying it down and and he's, you know...
00:19:13
Speaker
He's falling in for it, you know? and then... That's a hard line, though. If you like black licorice, fuck off.
00:19:24
Speaker
You're not human. that shit is nasty. Yeah, it's just nasty. Go fuck yourself.
00:19:33
Speaker
Fuck off, dickhead. Yeah. Yeah, so she sees the symbol and she's like, all right, and it freaks Lionel out because, you know, he's basically Norman Bates at this point.

Vera's Manipulation and Family Ties

00:19:44
Speaker
Yeah, he's fucking scared. He's like, she might show me her boobies. Yeah. He's like a little kid. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Norman Bates, exactly. He's fucking dead on. Absolutely.
00:20:00
Speaker
Coddled. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's very coddled in a way, but, you know, as we'll find out, his mom pretty much has controlled his entire life, and, you know, we'll find out a bunch of stuff later on, but... ah Yeah.
00:20:17
Speaker
So he eve he dips out of there as quick as he can and gets home, and um intro to Vera. Yeah. who is already so who is already yelling at him and he's not even in the fucking house yet yeah know know my mom was cool but my this is exactly how my grandma was yeah a hundred percent yeah she looks like my third grade teacher like identical
00:20:54
Speaker
Vera is a fucking lunatic. And, um, side note, I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, so it's always cool to see her pop up as a hobbit in Lord of the Rings. Yeah. well She plays Lobelia Lord of the Rings. I love that shit, man. That's my, that's my movie.
00:21:18
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. you Peter Jackson's a national treasure. Absolutely. he um he he does he does the amazing thing that all my favorite directors do where they have like this whole circle of friends and they're just this tight knit group and they just all work together all the time, no matter what, like they're always popping in. Even if it's like a small little part, they're put in there, you know what I'm saying? So that's fucking awesome.
00:21:53
Speaker
You already said it, but what is she? she she tells She opens her mail and tells Lionel she's so voted the treasurer-elect of what?
00:22:04
Speaker
W-L-W-L. The Wellington Ladies slave Welfare League. As a treasurer, I think, or something. I don't know. Treasurer elect.
00:22:17
Speaker
So she's, yeah, and she's carrying around this fucking chef's knife, you know, like, the whole time. Yeah, she's got the goddamn psycho knife to open her mail with.
00:22:29
Speaker
Yeah, so fucking funny. So, yeah, then she's like, oh, the dust and the drapes need cleaned and the silver needs polished. Yeah.
00:22:40
Speaker
I always thought it was funny that she scrapes the new post and says, it's the dust is an inch thick. Like you are scraping it with a fucking knife. You're basically keying it.
00:22:54
Speaker
She's like, the dust is an inch thick.
00:22:59
Speaker
And the lawn, man, if you saw my lawn, If Vera stole my lawn, she'd have a goddamn heart attack. She, yeah. If that's not a well-maintained frontage, come over to my house.
00:23:17
Speaker
In that house, too All the houses are so wild because it's like he's got to walk up these steep stairs along all these other houses before he gets to his house. And it's like that his frontage is all at like a weird ah angle, too. Like, it's very vertigo inducing.
00:23:36
Speaker
Makes you wonder if Vera, old Vera's got a Brazilian.
00:23:45
Speaker
Well, what are the odds that she keeps the lawn net short and she's got a big old fucking 70s bush?
00:23:54
Speaker
Well, I guess as long as it's like a well-maintained frontage, I guess it really wouldn't matter. ah very Vera's got a well-maintained frontage, but her asshole looks like a Venus flytrap.
00:24:09
Speaker
Well, it depends on how much Lionel's maintaining it
00:24:15
Speaker
he's like He's letting it go to shit. ah Literally.
00:24:24
Speaker
she looks like that squeezed chocolate donut. oh
00:24:33
Speaker
ah Oh. You know when Vera be squeezing them chocolate donuts. Oh.

Comic Relief and Flirtations

00:24:44
Speaker

00:28:05
Speaker
Yeah, she's... Man. And everybody has... Most people have known someone like this at some point. now Maybe not to this degree, because this is a movie, so it's turned up to 11.
00:28:17
Speaker
but emotional manipulation is real, man. Yeah. ah You know, sometimes when you're hypersensitive to it, you will see people like Vera in real life.

00:29:24
Speaker
Yeah, this is our second banger. Because this movie is basically a love story, but it is the best, most fucked up love story ever written. I would say, yeah, I would honestly say it's probably one of the top, it's definitely one of the top love stories ever. I would watch this over Titanic any fucking day.
00:29:46

00:30:52
Speaker
Yeah.

Absurdity of the Monkey Scene

00:30:53
Speaker
That's my stance. You know, side, I'll only spend about one minute on this, maybe less.
00:31:04
Speaker
Chimpanzees can go fuck themselves.
00:31:09
Speaker
They are fucking crazy. but i would rather be eaten by a shark than attacked by one of these fucking jackass. Oh, yeah, they'll pull your fucking arm off and beat the fuck out of you with it, and then eat it. pull your hands off, you fucking attack your dick, rip your face off.

00:32:25
Speaker
Yeah, and ah Lionel, ah I'll give him credit, he finally kisses Paquita, and the monkey cock blocks him. He's like, goddammit.

00:33:51
Speaker
so that's our origin story for the movie in one sentence yeah exactly that's that's how this thing came to be and that's why this movie is happening Story goes, these great big rats come scuttling off the slave ships and raped all the little tree monkeys.

Rat Monkey Origin Story

00:34:11
Speaker
In-fucking-credible. Absolutely. Raped all the little tree monkeys. What's he say? he's like, oh, poor little bugger. He starts slapping the cage. Yeah. like Like the rat monkey yeah is going to respond to that with anything but violence.
00:34:31

00:34:34
Speaker
And somebody been playing Mario Kart up in the zoo because Deera slips on a banana peel. All you

00:34:58
Speaker

00:35:27
Speaker
fucking splashed its head. She's like, look at my dress. Right. She switches. See, she switched her fucking ah mood on a dime, too, because as soon as she killed the rat monkey, she's like, oh, Lionel.
00:35:44
Speaker
Yep. Fucking master emotional manipulator.
00:35:52
Speaker
Right? Yeah. So this fucking lights the fuse officially. Now we're finally getting like, after all this amazing shit, the fuse is like almost there. Now it's fucking lit.
00:36:06
Speaker
thats Yeah, it' it's building to insanity. Yeah. And ah i get they get Vera back to the house, and this is when we first meet McTavish.
00:36:20
Speaker
Nurse McTavish. Nurse McTavish, yep. ah Is this... no ah No, I don't think... No, this isn't the dog. ah No, no, no, this is coming back. We'll be hitting that soon, yeah. yeah Yeah, Lionel, too this is just... he gets ah She gets all like patched up and stuff, and then like that night, you know after Lionel tucks his mom into bed, he's in... Oh, this is when they bang. Yeah. Okay.
00:36:51
Speaker
Yeah, and Paquita's yelling up at his window, and he's like, oh no. you know and It's an up and down scene because ah she was bringing back his jacket, but we all know, you know?
00:37:04
Speaker
yeah she was They don't ever bring back your hoodie unless there's good reason for it, right? so i wanted that She wanted that hot beef injection. and Only the taters hanging out. She forgot to drop off the sausages from earlier.
00:37:21
Speaker
She wanted to knock a few protons off the old hydrogen atom. Yeah. What the fuck?
00:37:38
Speaker
Oh, yes. so at this point, you know, this scene is really fucking wild because, you know, goes up and down because Lionel is basically like, look, I just can't, you know we we can't continue. Mom's very ill and blah, blah, blah.
00:37:55
Speaker
And breaks her heart. And then as she walks away, he's like, no, you know, and they embrace. At the same time, vera is having her um fucking starting to get ah get a fever from her bite, and we're seeing, like, deep underneath her bandages just this nasty fucking cyst forming, you know?
00:38:18
Speaker
at the same time...

Vera's Transformation and Gross-out Horror

00:38:21
Speaker
Pekita's grandma is looking at her tarot cards, right? And like all this stuff is mounting up like they're banging his mom's infection is getting ready to fucking get explode.
00:38:35
Speaker
Lionel's getting ready to explode. Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:42
Speaker
so I was going to say, did you notice when he busts a nut, it's like in sync with Vera squirting the fucking... Yes. With some goop.
00:38:54
Speaker
Yeah, it's that fucking nasty, fucking infectious goop, and it like shoots all over her his dad's picture. ah Puss and blood or whatever the Yeah, it's so fucking nasty.
00:39:08
Speaker
Peter Jackson. Yeah, he's got some fucking crazy. I don't know It's nasty as fuck. It's disgusting. But but Lionel, like the look on Lionel's face when he's laying in bed. He's like, yeah, yeah, they're both. they both look pretty satisfied. Yeah.
00:39:33
Speaker
Lionel's not a two. pump chum a lot A lot of pressure was relieved that night on a lot of different levels. And Lionel is probably a little autistic, so he's probably got a fucking giant cock, too.
00:39:47
Speaker
yeah i don't think it's autism. I think it's just sheltered.
00:39:53
Speaker
You keep that shit in the shed for a while, you know? It's crazy. After a night of Lionel draining his balls.
00:40:04
Speaker
He's in that that clarity the next morning. he's He's floating around the house. boun A little bouncy. yeah He's just lost a few pounds.
00:40:16
Speaker
Sun's shining. It's like he's walking down Sesame Street. And mom mom is fucked up. Yeah, it goes in her... yeah ah So gnarly. yeah She's all moaning and groaning because she just he says fucking burst her fucking wound.
00:40:36
Speaker
yeah So nasty. Her fucking eyes are swollen shut like somebody carted in her pillow. And she's got those... She's got that pink eye.
00:40:47
Speaker
And she's got those big ass Kardashian dick sucking lips.
00:40:56
Speaker
Yeah. Swollen, swelled up all the soft tissue. It was like when a Mac was eating those fucking nuts and and that that big ass fucking can of nuts that he kept getting more swollen as the episode was going on. Yeah.
00:41:14
Speaker
Oh, man. ah go what What'd she do to her face? Lionel had to glue it back together. Oh, it was ah after... Yeah, well...
00:41:26
Speaker
yeah well Yeah, he's like cleaning that wound and the Mathesons show up and they forgot all about them showing up for lunch. Yeah. So she gets up and she's cramming on makeup and she rips her face open.
00:41:41
Speaker
Yeah, she like taking a razor to it or something. And he tries to glue it.
00:41:48
Speaker
But was the the funny part, like when she's doing that and she's getting ready and she slices her face, she just goes, oh... yeah go shit in the grand scheme of things if you saw yourself in a mirror looking like that that's probably the appropriate response yeah it was awesome though like oh so funny we're arriving at I think is the grossest scene in the whole ah yeah
00:42:20
Speaker
but Jesus Christ All the blood, piss, guts, gore, whatever, can't doesn't hold a candle to a fat man eating custard.

Debating the Infamous Custard Scene

00:42:33
Speaker
Oh, that whole scene. and she's like, A new war meeting. new war.
00:42:47
Speaker
I haven't had a good custard in years. ah They're all talking and he just out of the blue like hits the table he's like, what we need another war.
00:42:59
Speaker
look and And Vera has like some Spider-Man shooter in her fucking wrist. She's squirted goop into his custard. Yeah, and he doesn't even know it.
00:43:10
Speaker
And his wife's sitting there watching him eat it. And the sound effects alone are just horrendous. You can hear the spoon clicking against his teeth and then slurping down that fucking pus-filled custard.
00:43:27
Speaker
Fucking nasty, dude. He's like, I haven't had a good custard in years. Oh, man. and ah he just looks sweaty.
00:43:39
Speaker
ah Peter Jackson's a master of grossing people out. no yeah as That is the nastiest scene in the whole movie.
00:43:50
Speaker
And it's such a like it's such a nice setting, too. And it's relatively mild. You know? It's just this one spray of blood and pus. it's such a And then her ear falls off.
00:44:05
Speaker
And she starts eating it. that's That's just fucking nasty. You can hear her crunching down on the pearl fucking earring and shit. ah ah What?
00:44:16
Speaker
No. Pudding? Yeah. What?
00:44:24
Speaker
Sounds like a ah fucking Pink Floyd song should start right after that. Right, yeah. I haven't had a good custard in years. I haven't had a good...
00:44:38
Speaker
I need to do a challenge and get some custard and a little bit of red food coloring and see if I can eat it watching that scene.

Humor in Disgusting Scenes

00:44:48
Speaker
i don't think you can.
00:44:51
Speaker
i want to so I want to watch it, though. I think it'd be a good... ah You have to keep your eyes on the screen while you're doing it. And then oh yeah yeah get some kind of gummy ear or something.
00:45:06
Speaker
oh and For like the second one? ah Yeah, for the ear. yeah and you could And you could put like a ah M&M for the earring.
00:45:19
Speaker
and Something like that. And see if you can just eat that stuff. eat that stuff while watching this yeah I ain't doing it but I'll watch you I don't get grossed out by much but that this is disgusting I would say like out of the whole movie this is probably the nastiest scene and that's that's saying a lot considering like what is involved in this entire movie yeah that's saying a lot it is but it's brutal man
00:45:54
Speaker
And the Mathesons are fucking retarded because they don't even... that Like, she knows something's up, but he's just oblivious. Yeah, he and he's He just wants his costume. Yeah.
00:46:09
Speaker
Yeah, he's like, that was a great lunch, boy.
00:46:14
Speaker
Yeah. oh Well, I don't know. Maybe I don't know. Anyway, that that's fucking disgusting. I dare people to watch that scene.
00:46:25
Speaker
Even just eating like tapioca pudding. I think that would be enough. Yeah. try to eat Try to eat tapioca pudding while staring at the screen during this scene.
00:46:37
Speaker
Yep. I haven't had a good pudding in years. I like that when she like sprays it she just lays on it. She's like, bleh!
00:46:55
Speaker
ah She's so fucked up. It's like, why at no point did they go, um maybe you should call the nurse or the doctor. Well, yeah, we come up on that because, you know, like the Mathesons leave and then we see Lionel. He's just like cleaning up this trail of fucking goop.
00:47:14
Speaker
fuck Yeah, goop, whatever the fuck, you know, just as she's walking, like cleaning up her slippage. She's de-gloving as she's walking. It's so nasty. Yeah.
00:47:27
Speaker
And Hakita, Hakita shows up. She's like, my grandmama. and my My mama said that you got... you got That you gonna die.
00:47:39
Speaker
hu She finally showed me that goddamn card.
00:47:45
Speaker
You gonna die. yeah I'm pretty mad about it, too. I told her. He should have told me this two days ago. Yeah, and it's funny. like um Then, you know, ah her dog runs upstairs.
00:48:01
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And ah Vera eats the fucking dog. Yeah. it's like That's a great scene too because she, Pakita comes up, what what does Pakita yeah Lido, your mother ate my dog!
00:48:21
Speaker
mother, she ate my dog! The big German shepherd. like Not all of it. Yeah, not all of it. She just ravaged it.
00:48:32
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, Fernando! Your mother ate my dog! Not all of it. It's fucking disgusting when he's pulling the tail out and hurt her like jaw is dislodged like a snake.
00:48:48
Speaker
Yeah, she's gurgling. She's like, oh oh look oh what trying to pull his fucking... It's like pulling the biggest wad of hair out of your fucking your fucking tub drain. And Vera, being the fucking cock blocker that she is, goes for Paquita.
00:49:04
Speaker
Well, yeah, because no one's going to have her son.
00:49:08
Speaker
and and Lionel sends her to get the nurse.
00:49:15
Speaker
who are But while she's gone, ah doesn't yeah she dies while is gone? No, she dies shortly after. keta is gone or does she die no she dies shortly Yeah, she falls down the stairs, I believe, because she's still going, and the nurse is there, and she had fallen down the stairs. and um oh yeah, this is where she sticks her fingers in the nurse's face.
00:49:43
Speaker
Yeah, and rips her head back. had What a great fucking death. Oh, what a great just idea in general, because all you see is like her fucking like air hole in her fucking throat and it's constantly gurgling. oh yeah.
00:50:01
Speaker
And it comes and it comes back. ah they they use it a couple more times. Oh, yeah, it's a fun gag for sure. But, man, I think they shot this movie on like 16 millimeter just so he could you focus most of the money on the effects. And it shows, man.
00:50:21
Speaker
Yeah. Because i think I think they made this movie for like three million. Yeah. Which is crazy for how much shit they do in it. But he is so resourceful.
00:50:33
Speaker
Like, that's the thing about him. Like, when even in Lord of the Rings and shit, man, like, some of the stuff was so simplistic what he did, but he knew how to shoot it and make it just amazing, you know?
00:50:47
Speaker
He's a master at that. Yeah, this whole fucking scene where the nurse, where the where Vera attacks the nurse and rips her head off and everything. All the while, Paquita's upstairs oblivious because she's packing her bags and like the TV's going. So she gets confused like she thinks.
00:51:07
Speaker
Oh, he turns the radio up real loud. oh geez. Yeah, that's it. The the radio, not the But it's like cutting in and out to the fighting going on. So she just thinks it's the radio that's doing it. Yeah, it's just one of those like live action radio shows. And there's like boop, boop.
00:51:25
Speaker
bo do do like during in the whole like attacking scene so it's like from this upbeat music yeah because this was 1957 yeah and uh like three stooges music playing while they're fighting each other yeah
00:51:42
Speaker
But he he throws them both down the stairs. and And it's funny because he does the Homer Simpson thing where he just turns up the radio.
00:51:53
Speaker
And he sits there fucking ignoring her when she's trying to talk to him. Yeah, he's like laughing at it. He's like... What a dickhead. man.

Comedic Nazi Veterinarian

00:52:08
Speaker
ah So she gets mad and leaves, of course, you know, because he's going out of his way to be a dickhead at this point. He's got a bunch of shit happening. Yeah. and He's a strong dude, man. He's got a lot of shit going on around him, and he's like holding his cool, so...
00:52:28
Speaker
Well, yeah, kinda. Yeah, kinda. But he's laying in bed listening to them fucking howling and shit in the basement, so he decides to get some tranquilizers yeah from the vet.
00:52:45
Speaker
Ha ha ha ha ha. I fucking love this. Who the fuck but Peter Jackson would go, let's make the vet a Nazi. Yeah, like a war criminal in hiding, even.
00:52:58
Speaker
They hunted us down like dogs! Yeah, he goes in, he's like, my family ran from Austria.
00:53:10
Speaker
He's like crying.
00:53:14
Speaker
and He's like, i need some sedatives. He's like, I don't sell sedatives. Tranquilizers. I do have. And he grabs it and it rips his is a lab jacket. You see the fucking Nazi band around his arm.
00:53:31
Speaker
ah Do you want a needle? Or are you going to sniff? Yeah. And then he says something. I've never been able to catch it when he hands it to Lionel. I think he says something in German like,
00:53:44
Speaker
Like under his breath to him, you know, like something super weird. I don't know. I'll have to. Yeah. I can't ever make out what he's saying, but it's like, it's fucked up and he's got that like, cause he's wearing those like magnifying glasses with like the fucking like magnifier on the one. So it made it even worse.
00:54:02
Speaker
Oh yeah. Incredible. Incredible.
00:54:09
Speaker
Oh, fucking. And, uh, yeah, it's, it's fucking crazy. Like who would think to make the vet a Nazi? Yeah. did I wonder if Peter Jackson's had some bad experiences with vets.
00:54:24
Speaker
I mean, it could be, I mean, he's from New Zealand and there could have been some like, you know, Nazi sympathizers that had him hid there and were like, you used to be a scientist. We're going to make you a vet now.
00:54:37
Speaker
My wombat is has the has ah has's the flu. you ah Can you help him?
00:54:51
Speaker
We can burn We can burn him.
00:54:56
Speaker
That'll help.
00:55:01
Speaker
ah
00:55:04
Speaker
So like Lionel gets back. He's got his big ass fucking jar of tranquilizer. Like it's like a ah growler size fucking ball bottle, you know, down there from a cartoon.
00:55:16
Speaker
Yeah, it's ridiculous. It might as well say acne on it. Yeah, the cartoon tranquilizer. Yeah, it's like acne tranquilizers. He goes to, um, he goes to Paquita's, I guess it's her family's store, I don't know, but because her grandma is always there fucking with tarot cards.
00:55:37
Speaker
Yeah. He goes there to ask about the dark forces, and fucking, meanwhile, Vera wakes up, and she's just honed in, like, relentlessly trying to break Paquita and Lionel up, even after, even in <unk>ra state that she's in. yeah absolutely. Yeah, she comes strolling right in ready to fuck some shit up into her store. and While she got hit by the trolley into the store. Yeah, that's it. It was like kicking a field goal.
00:56:15
Speaker
she so She slides in on her back and she immediately fucking goes for Piquita. Well, he got the ah sedative in her. the sedative in her fast enough work. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right.
00:56:26
Speaker
They thought that she was dead. Yeah. Which she is, i suppose, but somehow sedatives still work on her. Yeah. don't Don't question it.
00:56:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's Nazi tranquilizers, so... But they finally they they finally, you know, everyone thinks that Vera is dead, so they we get our introduction to so one of the everybody the character everybody that's ever seen this movie remembers, Father McGruder.

Father McGruder's Kung Fu Scene

00:56:59
Speaker
oh yeah. What a pimp. Yep. He's holding the services for Vera. Right. and yep he's getting ready and then we go to the fucking yeah behind the scenes of what's happening and he's trying to sneak in right to inject yeah he's trying to get more tranquilizer yeah so she doesn't wake up while they're showing her body yeah which she was not in a state because that contraption that they had in the back I guess whatever the fuck it was she's squirting shit everywhere yeah they overfilled her
00:57:39
Speaker
Yeah, the Undertaker has to pop her eyeballs back in Yeah, he does that little like jazz hand thing, and he's like, pops them back in. And this is ah Peter Jackson's giggling.
00:57:54
Speaker
Peter Jackson cameo as the Undertaker's assistant. He's giggling while everything's like yeah he's giggling while things like bubbling out of her. If he wasn't such a great director, he would have been a fucking great character actor. Oh, for sure. and you know he I mean, obviously, there's a movie that he's in ah We're not going talk about right now.
00:58:18
Speaker
Because we'll start debating shit. But there's a movie that he's in where, obviously, you get to see a lot more of his acting ability. plays Marvel, yeah.
00:58:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:58:31
Speaker
But he's so goofy looking and he's got the funniest fucking voice.
00:58:39
Speaker
ah So good. So, so good. he he He's that good of a director that he never became an actor when he yeah clearly could have done it. And I think he would have been successful at it.
00:58:53
Speaker
Right. Yeah. But Lionel's in the back. Yeah, he's sneaking around so he can inject her again. But this whole scene is just funny because it's like the morgue is in the back of the church and it's like a mad scientist slab.
00:59:10
Speaker
Yeah. It's so funny, dude.
00:59:19
Speaker
Oh, and this is around the time we we get to we also get to meet the biggest dickhead in the whole movie, Uncle Les. Uncle Les. Yeah.
00:59:31
Speaker
Uncle Les. The pervert. Uncle Les. Yeah.
00:59:36
Speaker
The predator. ah what what what would What would you call him? He's just an all-around heel. yeah he's Yeah, he's pretty much like every bit of a definition of a healer. Or a heel.
00:59:50
Speaker
like All the way around. But his dick his dick's always sore, too. So fucking nasty. ah bet it looks like a radish. Yeah.
01:00:02
Speaker
uh also did you notice when they were working on vera that peter jackson picks a sandwich off of her that's stress
01:00:14
Speaker
she's got a fucking sandwich his sandwich is sitting on her and she's oh she's bubbling over yeah yeah that shit is funny oh my god He just wants to gross people out.
01:00:28
Speaker
That's his main goal. He's not here to disturb anyone. He just wants you to not be able to eat. Exactly. i honestly don't know how he could do it.
01:00:39
Speaker
Or for that matter, the people in the scene for the ah custard scene, I don't know how they did that. Yeah, I'd like to see like a making of of this movie anyway.
01:00:50
Speaker
It'd be fun. Just to see how much fun it had have been fucking so much fun.
01:01:00
Speaker
But...
01:01:02
Speaker
Lionel, everybody ends up thinking he's fucking crazy because him and Vera start wrestling in the back and get, they bust through the the door right as he gets there um right as he gets the tranquilizer injected in her again. So they just think he's back there fucking with her dead body.
01:01:23
Speaker
Yeah, so they fall through and he's just like, he just holds on to her. Like, he's like, oh, my Bobby, you know. but now everybody thinks he's funny in the head. But our man Les is just sitting there fucking laughing his ass off. Yeah, he's the less like us.
01:01:41
Speaker
Yeah. It'll all be mine soon. Oh, yeah, because he hears Father MacGruder talking about Lionel being the sole beneficiary of the whole estate and money and all that business.
01:01:53
Speaker
yeah All that business.
01:01:58
Speaker
But that takes us to probably the most famous scene of the whole movie. you think Uh, one of them. I mean, there's so many, but this is one of the, one of the most quoted parts.
01:02:10
Speaker
Um, but he's in there getting ready to dig his mom up to inject her again. So she doesn't come out and bunch of, bunch of like greasers come out of the background of the cemetery drinking and all that shit and start fucking with him and beating the shit out of him. Cause he's digging up his mom.
01:02:32
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He's a real bloody weirdo. He's a real bloody weirdo. and he said And then the the one starts pissing on his... Yeah, real mean to.
01:02:43
Speaker
Starts pissing on his mom's grave and he's like, that's my mother's grave you're pissing on. You know what you are? bloody sicko. Yeah, mean to. yeah Get his wallet.
01:02:56
Speaker
Oh.
01:03:03
Speaker
That's my mother you're pissing on.
01:03:08
Speaker
So I had to look him up because he is the only greaser that, uh, spoiler, he's the only greaser that survives and he's got words, he's got lines and stuff. That guy's name is Void and I don't, void I think he, I think he says it once when they're at the dinner table, but that's Void. So yeah, Void is pissing on his mom's grave.
01:03:32
Speaker
Yeah. And it's some yellow piss, man. That guy needs to drink some more water. He does. Too much wine. as if you Did you notice the gravestone? like It's like fucking... Oh, it's yellow, dude.
01:03:44
Speaker
i It's bad. he's I was watching it on my my VHS, you know, and you could it's so yellow. Yeah, he's dehydrated, I think.
01:03:58
Speaker
Yeah. He was eating the fucking granite as he was pissing on it. But, you know, you pull your dick out in a graveyard and someone's going to grab it.

But he gives him the whole line about her forgetting to put him in the wheel and shit. Yeah. He's just being slimy. Yeah. Absolutely.
01:13:33
Speaker
Yeah, he gets he he gets him to leave, and ah he has to go on another tranquilizer run, which I suppose isn't important other than that this shows that um Roger's back in the picture.
01:13:49
Speaker
Right. Well, before that, though, remember he goes downstairs and Magruder and McTavish are like going at like banging and he has a part in the kitchen.
01:14:01
Speaker
They're still. Oh, OK. OK. Yeah, that's right. OK. He has. That's what i thought. He has to pull Magruder off of McTavish because yeah there he's fucking her on the kitchen table.
01:14:14
Speaker
That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. suddenly Suddenly Vera doesn't have a problem with watching that. know. Because it isn't her Lionel. It isn't her Lionel. That's why.
01:14:27
Speaker
Yeah. ah and ah Oh, yeah. he pulls He pulls McGruder off of her and she's biting his fucking face. Yeah. She just rips this whole fucking lips off. He just eats it. Yeah.

Speaker
And they're both smiling. He's not upset about that all. He's like, still nutted. Don't care. I got Still came.
01:14:57
Speaker
But that brings us to, because after he goes to get more tranquilizer, he gets punched by Roger, but that just shows Roger's back in a picture. But when he gets back, ah McTavish is giving birth to something.
01:15:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. yeah you of A beautiful baby boy. Yeah, oh my god. Yeah. you
01:15:24
Speaker
and As if we couldn't have gotten even more chaos happening.
01:15:31
Speaker
You know, normally... It's turning up at this point. I'll tell you what.

Introduction of Zombie Baby Selwyn

01:15:36
Speaker
The Dawn of the Dead remake has... I'm gonna eventually make a cut of that where I take the baby scene out because it ruins the fucking movie.
01:15:48
Speaker
But this is... This adds. This turns it up. This is how you do it. Yeah. You're gonna do a zombie baby. This is why you gotta do it, yeah Little baby Selwyn.
01:16:03
Speaker
Yeah. He finds it in the fucking radio eating the fucking rat. Yeah.
01:16:10
Speaker
It is still has its umbilical cord attached.
01:16:16
Speaker
oh man. Fucking... If you've not seen this movie, you just don't fucking... Well, I would hope you have, but... If you've not seen movie... Make it your number one watch because you're in for a fucking ride.
01:16:32
Speaker
This whole fucking movie. This little beautiful child. Yeah. Oh, my God. yeah So then, ah you know, then we go, we cut from that so the fucking this park and there's this really nice music playing and shit. And he's like pushing Selwyn around in that little baby carriage and he's just trying to be, try to fit in with like all the moms.
01:16:58
Speaker
Well, and you get like the first person view from the carriage and there he's got like barbed wire. Yeah. ah around He gives him a stuffed animal and he just shreds it. Oh,
01:17:12
Speaker
this whole fucking scene with the fucking Selwyn going crazy. Yeah, yeah good the fucking carriage goes down gets like let loose and he's like flying down the hill and it fucking falls over and Selwyn's free at this point.
01:17:28
Speaker
And he's going after those little kids.
01:17:34
Speaker
ah ah He fucking picks him up and starts punching him. That homeless guy in the background is like, yeah! Yeah, man, yeah!
01:17:45
Speaker
That's fucking awesome. beats the fuck out of this kid. He's just sitting there beating the living shit out of Selwyn, and everybody's just like, oh my god! Yep, this is one of the few movies where the baby actually adds to it.
01:18:01
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
01:18:05
Speaker
Oh, incredible. And I love like when he hits, when he hits Selwyn with the swing, like fucking completely just, and it fucking gets shot up in the air. And it's, it's, it's clearly obviously like a baby doll, you know, of Selwyn. It's just boom.
01:18:21
Speaker
yeah hard and all the moms are like oh my god and when they cut the scenes where he's like the only thing on screen and he's moving it's clearly an adult in a costume but it's great like he's he was already doing that like that perception like he did in Lord of the Rings you know what I'm saying he was always the forced perspective yeah so he was already doing that incredible you know what like what a way to test it out like let's have this zombie baby use this on Selwyn and then Gandalf yeah and Gimli and Gimli too
01:19:03
Speaker
Oh, man. Wouldn't that be some shit if Gimli was the one that played Selwyn in those scenes? Like, he just brought him back all these years later.
01:19:14
Speaker
Whenever Selwyn sees somebody get hurt, he starts laughing. He's like, hee hee hee hee.
01:19:22
Speaker
He just loves fucking misery. Yeah, absolutely. ah Chaos incarnate. That fucking homeless guy though when he's beating the shit out him he's just like yeah!
01:19:36
Speaker
I will always lose it every time of that fucking team. It's so good.
01:19:42
Speaker
it That's what Peter Jackson thinks homeless people are like. Yeah. Yeah, I want to know, it's such a, it's like, such a random thing, the the fact that you would write it in there, like, no matter, we have all this happening, and the CD's like, you know, it'll be real funny, though. Like, we're gonna make this homeless guy laugh him, because he's beating the shit out of this kid.
01:20:05
Speaker
but Yeah, he was like, nobody thinks this is funny, but I bet homeless people will. Yeah. Why knows? That's fucking good. ah shit.
01:20:17
Speaker
And of course, that fat decade a dickhead yeah discovers the bodies in the basement. Threatens to turn Lionel in. Yep. But you know what he wants.
01:20:29
Speaker
Yep, he wants it all. And Lionel's about to just slant it all over because he's about done with it anyway. uh... Well, he injects them, he he breaks the jar breaks too, right? what Yeah, he has to get more set. No, I don't remember.
01:20:50
Speaker
I don't quite remember how the sequence of events goes because he injects them with tranquilizer, but when Les throws them... Because this this is the party scene.
01:21:06
Speaker
Yeah. This is this is like the... It's getting ready. It's starting to pop off. Yeah, they're getting ready to... Yeah, they're they're getting ready to <unk> turn up.
01:21:21
Speaker
Yeah, because Les, he's like... ah Lionel's like, uh, being the, serving hors d'oeuvres and shit at the party, right? Because Les brings all his friends over to celebrate him getting the new house and all the money and stuff.
01:21:38
Speaker
And Lionel being a pussy through, through 99% of the movie, it's just serving hors d'oeuvres to all of Les' friends. Yeah.
01:21:49
Speaker
Yeah. But, Paquita, so Paquita gets fucking sick of Roger's shit and Yeah, he's a super ego. and there's a big-ass party, and she's like, this asshole's having a party after all this stuff.
01:22:04
Speaker
And Les is trying to fucking molest her in ah in the living room. Absolutely. As soon as he sees her. Yeah. And she ain't having it, so... She kicked him in that fucking... In that fucking damaged penis that he's already got.
01:22:21
Speaker
Yeah, he's like, ooh... Man, it ain't bad enough he's getting hurt from the inside. He's got a dick full of rocks and she just fucking kicked him in it.
01:22:33
Speaker
I hope she didn't hurt her foot. Yeah, right?
01:22:38
Speaker
It's like a sock with a fucking rock in it. A sock filled with pebbles.
01:22:46
Speaker
But she kicks him in the balls and escapes to the basement. ye And that's ah Lionel has to go down there and save her. But, uh, uh, yeah, that's when she, this is kind of like the turning point because she tries to convince Lionel to destroy them. And that's when he injects the new poison into the, right? Yeah. He thinks it's the, it's just the, it's animal, animal stimulant or whatever, instead of like actual poison.
01:23:13
Speaker
yeah he finds that Yeah, because he gets poison he gets what he thinks is poison and tries to kill him and bury him in the basement to get rid of them. But then ah less let they try to leave, but Les stops him and throws Lionel back down in the basement. And that's when he sees that the bottle was animal stimulant.
01:23:33
Speaker
And he's like, oh shit. But that whole scene when he's injecting them... Actually, it's kind of sad, and it's so weird because of all this chaos, and then when he's putting everybody down, like you you feel bad. Yeah.
01:23:50
Speaker
He goes right up the fucking nose into the brain. Yeah. once once he sees the fucking ah Once he sees that it's animal stimulant, the zombies fucking fire out of the ground like they have superpowers.
01:24:03
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, they're fucking... yeah there They're super-powered fucking zombies, dude. And it just goes off the rails at this point because i just they come up from the basement and kill everybody. Yeah, dude.
01:24:20
Speaker
This is when it starts popping. This is where most of the money went because there's so much going on

Chaos at the Party Scene

01:24:28
Speaker
in this scene. the fucking They the skin off of the one guy's face.
01:24:33
Speaker
Yep. Yep. And then he comes back. He's the, when they all wake back up, like his face is the one that pops up closest to the screen. But I love that fucking angle. Like when they all sit up like that, it's so fucking sweet.
01:24:47
Speaker
It's just gore everywhere. i love how good, the the guy that gets like his ah lower half eaten, and it's just a skeleton with blood and gore all over yeah it. That's great effect.
01:25:01
Speaker
Yeah, where you pull him out, and all it is is gu lakes yeah skeleton legs. legs. And then the one girl was it, is Piquita Falls? And then the one girl's like coming down to like pick her up and Void punches right through the back of her head and he starts trying to grab for her with his hand that's through her head, like through her mouth.
01:25:26
Speaker
Man, fucking crazy. This is a scene that I don't know if it still holds that ah I wouldn't call it a record, but everybody always regarded this as the bloodiest movie of all time.
01:25:40
Speaker
Yeah, because of how much is happening. Yeah. Because it's just how much fucking blood is in this final scene. Yeah. And this this isn't the one. We're not there yet.
01:25:52
Speaker
Yeah, this is just the start. This is like the first pre-explosion. like Yeah, this is this is the intro. Because we are not at the scene yet.
01:26:04
Speaker
Yeah, were we're definitely not at the scene. So all that shit's happening. Fucking... um Les gets attacked by a Magruder and then starts pulling his fucking teeth out.
01:26:18
Speaker
He's like, you got a bit of a cavity there, mate. Yeah. Les. Les starts to redeem himself in a small way. In a weird way. Yeah.
01:26:31
Speaker
Lionel tries to escape and he's running in the blood like a cartoon character. Yeah. are He's running. and He's just s slipping. Yeah. yeah And then he has to jump on all the heads.
01:26:44
Speaker
Oh, man. and Yeah, this whole fucking scene is crazy. But, you know, we've been getting flashbacks.

Lionel's Family Revelation

01:26:53
Speaker
The subplot of this is Vera... Lionel's dad drowned and Vera blamed him for it.
01:27:02
Speaker
Mm-hmm. But, uh, but Lionel escapes to the fucking attic and that kind of, kind of puts a ribbon on that whole story because he finds the chest with what I think is his father's girlfriend's body in it. Right.
01:27:18
Speaker
Yeah. It's his father's girlfriend's body. And then he starts having that flashback of him sitting there as a child and his mom drowning both of them in the tub. Cause I believe they were taking a bath together or something.
01:27:31
Speaker
And that scene's kind of fucked up too, because it's showing him as a little boy and he's kind of twitching like as it's all going on. So that's pretty fucked up too. like I don't know. but that's But that's like the ah that's like the subplot. That's not necessarily important to the movie. It's just... But it gives him his like balls to stand up to his mom because she lied to him all these years. you know It set that into play for later on. Yeah.
01:27:59
Speaker
But back to the action.

Comedic Relief with Selwyn

01:28:01
Speaker
Paquita is downstairs fighting with our man Selwyn. Yep. And she punches him out the fucking window into Les's balls.
01:28:14
Speaker
Fucking Les is just taking... He's getting payback. so Yeah. And Selwyn's laughing again. He's like... he's like but he and he escapes selwyn escapes again yep but uh but les les finally gets back in the house because i forget how he ended up outside but whatever but uh he ran and then like he tries to come back in yeah Yeah, he tries to kill Rita.
01:28:48
Speaker
That's who, because Selwyn bit Rita, right? Yeah, yeah. And and he's he was like, she's been bit, you know, and oh, did we forget about the fucking scene with the the ah light bulb in the fucking skull? The chick that... No, because that's Rita.
01:29:07
Speaker
that's all that's what that's right. That is Rita. Okay, I i got the sequence of events mixed up. There's a lot shit happening right there. God, that scene's fucking awesome, though. Yeah, that's ah yeah that's um that's kind of what inspired the cover of the Blu-ray, really.

Gore and Gruesome Scenes

01:29:26
Speaker
Oh, yeah. The VHS. God, it's so fucking cool, man. But... ah but You know, the whole time lionel you know Lionel's in the attic, he gets attacked by Void's guts.
01:29:40
Speaker
Yeah, because earlier Void gets ripped in half from the door and that's fucking nasty and he's still coming for him, but all of his fucking insides are falling out and now his intestines and stuff, the part where the intestines are... but i think I think the face of that thing is Void's asshole.
01:29:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, because it it was like looking at itself in the mirror and like powdering its cheeks and farting. Yeah, it goes. Yeah. I think that's an asshole monster. Yeah.
01:30:14
Speaker
With intestines for tentacles. Yeah. Yeah. and Lionel, trying to escape the butthole monster, falls out of the attic and he's hanging upside down by a power wire or something.
01:30:30
Speaker
Yeah, and then he climbs up and fights the fucking... Well, there's zombies underneath of him and Void's gut are wiggling down the cable after him, so he's kind of fucked right now.
01:30:44
Speaker
Yeah, he pulls himself up and then like bites the intestine in half. And then which I fucking love this part, but he falls and then his head smashes on top of a half of a head that's on the fucking ground. And that's what breaks his fucking fall.
01:30:59
Speaker
And the head just explodes underneath him. And he's like, oh, my head. It looks like it hurts so fucking bad. Well, this is also what we were talking about with Les kind of redeeming himself, because while all this is happening, Les is chopping up zombies with a meat cleaver.
01:31:18
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, he's got like a pile of them in front of them. And then the one that we forgot to talk about earlier that's headless, that they stuck the he stuck the garden gnome ah Yeah.
01:31:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He's... ah like ah for For all his... for all For all the fucked up shit that Les does in this movie, he is great in this final scene.
01:31:43
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's pretty fucking good. And, uh, what the fucking, well, i we're not there yet, but fucking Selwyn still has another thing to do with Les.
01:31:56
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I fucking love, i love, I will get to that. Yeah, oh, it's it's amazing. Yeah. So yeah, he's rolling that zombie and that, I don't know what that fucking rolling machine is, but all that, the fucking gnome falls out of the neck and then just all that gore just starts pouring out of his fucking neck hole, dude. It's amazing. Oh no, you know what? This is, this is like the part where Selwyn does it.
01:32:25
Speaker
Yeah, cause when he's doing that, I think that's when, I'll let you say it. Selwyn kicks less in the balls with someone else's leg.
01:32:39
Speaker
he
01:32:41
Speaker
And he's just He took the leg off of one of the corpses and kicked less than the balls with it.
01:32:54
Speaker
How fucking great is that? It's fucking phenomenal, dude. he's just sitting there.
01:33:04
Speaker
You little bugger. And oh no, Paquita got bit. What are we gonna do? God damn it. Yep. It's how everything's save her.
01:33:16
Speaker
Yep. He's got to save her. But fortunately, yeah, go ahead. yeah go ahead ah So she gets bit and we're like, oh, no, you know, you can't lose bikini. It turns out that fucking zombie had dentures.
01:33:32
Speaker
wow Which it's not the teeth. It's the saliva. Yeah, it's the saliva. i don't I don't think the dentures would have made a difference, but whatever.
01:33:46
Speaker
We're in a movie where a zombie baby kicked the fat man in the balls with someone else's legs, so we're not going to nitpick whether dentures make Where priest can kick the legs off somebody.
01:33:58
Speaker
Yeah, then the arms. Yeah, and pump the head off. you know like Yeah, we're zombie babies and Ninja priests. um Nazi vets. Yeah.
01:34:12
Speaker
Nazi vets. Yeah. So let's let's chase this cell in into the basement. Because he's like, you little fucker. And then we get to see then see Vera has been quiet this whole time.
01:34:26
Speaker
And then we see fucking Vera and she is turned into this. Well, no, we don't see her. We don't see her. We see the shadow. Yeah. We see her shadow. And then she rips fucking less is fucking the skull all the way up and turns them into a brontosaurus.
01:34:43
Speaker
She turns them into some shit from the thing. mean, it's fucking amazing. And it's almost like a return of living dead three. i wonder if that's where they got that idea. Cause of the main, uh, chill. Yeah.
01:34:58

01:36:08
Speaker
are
01:36:12
Speaker
The fucking lawnmower. The iconic fucking scene in this movie. He's got it strapped to his fucking chest. He fucking kicks his fucker on and just starts going ham on everyone in this fucking... my god.
01:36:28
Speaker
There is so much gore. Puss and blood and yeah um And the sounds like the sounds of the blades of the mower. It's like wet.
01:36:40
Speaker
It's like chopping up fucking wet meat and bone. And you can hear it. Like it's fucking amazing. And he's just covered, covered in like, that's all you see. It's just, fuck. How, how long does this scene last? Cause this is the one where they actually had to cut.
01:36:58
Speaker
They had to actually cut minutes from it. There's extended versions of this, obviously. incredible i mean well especially in context of when it came out i mean this was like nothing else yeah like nothing else out no one else went that far and was able to pull it off the way that this was pulled off because it's still hilarious so even though he's like running through just
01:37:30
Speaker
lawnmowering everything in his path it's like awesome i do think it holds up though it does absolutely 100 i think you could release this movie today and people would like it yeah they would especially now yeah if you remastered it you wouldn't have to but for like the newer generation you'd probably have to remaster it just to make it a little more crisp you know right yeah But it fucking, it does not look dated to me. I mean, it's a period piece anyway. Yeah, it is. If I can say that, because it is supposed to be in 57, right? Yeah, it's 1957.
01:38:10
Speaker
Yeah, so it's fucking amazing. Yeah. Fucking lawnmower scene. If you don't watch anything, if you don't like the movie, just watch that. Watch the third act.
01:38:21
Speaker
It's fucking amazing. Yeah. There's so much fucking happening. you know it's it's It's literal fucking chaos. like I would have loved to have been on the set while this scene, just this scene was being made, you know, or this whole series of events that's going down because it would have been so much fun.
01:38:42
Speaker
And, yeah, it's fucking great. But, You know, the lawnmower's not quite finished yet, but um the whole time this is going on, Paquita's in the kitchen putting body parts in the blender.
01:38:58
Speaker
ah to try yeah
01:39:01
Speaker
she's She's just gone full psycho at this point. She'll be there all day. Yeah. All day and night doing that. All day, yep. And we finally get to see what Les looks like now.
01:39:15
Speaker
Yep. And he's still trying to get some. Yep.
01:39:25
Speaker
And the Pakita takes him by his spinal cord and swings his head around and smashes it on the fucking counter. like And it just explodes. like ah Like a morning star. Yeah.
01:39:43
Speaker
yeah again too, Lionel's not done because Lionel gets attacked by Void yeah, Void's back and he jumps down he jumps down on the fucking lawnmower genius and Lionel was finally able to restart the lawnmower because it was so gunked up with all the shit so he finally restarts it and basically fucking blends Void down to nothing laughing Yep.
01:40:11
Speaker
Boyd gets... It's basically two Blender scenes at the same time going on in two different rooms. Yeah. Yeah. You know, because our little man Selwyn shows up again.
01:40:24
Speaker
Yes, he does. He shows up pretty awesomely. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I think inspired the cover of the movie because it's got the zombie inside the woman's mouth.
01:40:38
Speaker
Yeah. Not quite the same. And this is also ah fucking callback to Bad Taste at the end of Bad Taste as well. Because Selwyn rips through the woman Rita, rips through her face.
01:40:55
Speaker
Yeah. And that's how he makes his third entrance. I got a chunky bit. Yeah, I got a chunky bit. Yeah, dude. yeah oh and fucking poor little poor little selwyn he goes through a lot but he's the hero of the movie yeah yeah yeah he rips he rips rita's he rips open he comes outside of uh rita's head he basically ate his way up through her body and came out her face
01:41:31
Speaker
yeah That's basically what happened. yeah Where do you take why do you think he entered? Yeah, I mean, he had some choices.
01:41:42
Speaker
He's like, I'm gonna take the back door this time. I'm gonna sneak in the back. Yeah, I'm stuck in the back door. Little Selwyn squeezed right up her butthole. Yeah.
01:41:56
Speaker
Oh, yeah And Paquita burns little Selwyn. Is this where he gets thrown out the window? I think this is yeah this is the last time we see Selwyn for now.
01:42:08
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, because I don't think we see him just yet. Yeah, Paquita burns him and throws him. I think he jumps out the window or something. I don't quite remember.
01:42:21
Speaker
Yeah. but But that's not the end of Selwyn. No. For now. For now.
01:42:29
Speaker
Lionel, I forget also... I'm terrible. I forgot how Lionel killed the fucking fart monster. Void's intestines.
01:42:40
Speaker
Yeah. what did he What did he do to kill it? I forget.
01:42:46
Speaker
what the fuck yeah oh it was lot he put the lawnmower down on top of it because he got he got the necklace back and like or the necklace was inside like in there in the intestine monster was like holding it and oh yeah he get he grabs it and then it's like looking at him like please don't kill me yeah and pakita pakita pakita thinks it's over finally Yeah.

Vera's Monster Transformation and Climax

01:43:13
Speaker
And they haven't seen mum yet. Haven't seen mum yet. And it's like he summoned her because she busts through the fucking floor. Yep. Chasing Lionel and Paquita.
01:43:26
Speaker
Up the stairs. And this is another incredible scene too because... I don't know how they did this with the budget they had. I know. And, you know, obviously they have somebody dressed up, but it's that whole forced, you know, perception thing again. I think, you know, how he, how he framed everything up. So we're seeing all this experimentation happening. Like they will take him on to his later Then he gets hailed for later.
01:43:57
Speaker
Wait a minute. Are you saying those giant titties that Farrah has aren't really that big?
01:44:05
Speaker
She's got some big ass mommy milkers. Yeah, they're they're fucking huge. so
01:44:13
Speaker
Looks like XL speed bags. Yeah, XL speed bags.
01:44:20
Speaker
Double XL. Yeah, double XL. So yeah, they escaped. They're on the roof. oh Double XL. WXL. WXL.
01:44:33
Speaker
two Big fat titties. ah but but but but but ah those are harder
01:44:44
Speaker
So they they escape and they get on the roof through the chimney and she just comes bashing up through. And what she, he ends up getting pulled into her fucking.
01:44:56
Speaker
well Well, well, before that, I guess. Yeah. He brings up some old shit. You know, he has mommy issues. So of course he says, what's he, he's, she goes after Paquita and this is like the turning point of the movie because he's like, don't put your hands on her.
01:45:13
Speaker
Yeah, he finally sticks up to his mom. Yeah, don't you touch her. Yeah, he finally sticks up to his mom. you know It's like the last five minutes of the movie and he finally gets some balls to stick up to his mother.
01:45:27
Speaker
Yeah, after she's this gigantic rat monster. ol' teeth! Big ass teeth! guys tedy ain't gay no more.
01:45:39
Speaker
don't like the mans.
01:45:43
Speaker
I don't care purse.
01:45:46
Speaker
She fucking hungry hippos and back into her uterus. Absolutely. Absolutely. Completely hungry hippos are hungry. Hippos Lionel back into her uterus.
01:46:01
Speaker
Yeah.
01:46:05
Speaker
oh ah and then we think that's it you know what I'm saying like Nikita's like oh no know and then we get like indigestion Vera's got indigestion but it's not indigestion it's Lionel using that pennant to cut his way out of his mom's uterus his rebirth do i have to do I have to fart or is somebody cutting their way yeah out of me from It's a reverse C-section.
01:46:35
Speaker
yeah He uses the pendant. And man, is he covered in some shit. Yeah, dude. It's fucking gnarly. It's fucking nasty.
01:46:47
Speaker
So he kills Vera. yeah Yeah, she falls through the building. and She falls into the basement again, alleged ah I guess. The house just burns down with her in it.
01:46:58
Speaker
So she's most likely dead.
01:47:02
Speaker
Yep. The fire department arrives and we get to see who. Our man, our sole survivor crying in the yard is the sweet little baby summer child Selwyn.
01:47:17
Speaker
Sweet little sweet, the cutest little man. Why don't they make toys of him? I know. I can't believe they haven't made a doll. like Even like now, how Nika's putting out all these obscure yeah figures, I'm surprised they haven't done like a ah doll, like a Chucky doll version of Selwyn.
01:47:36
Speaker
We need to start a petition to make a Selwyn doll baby. would buy one. I'd have fucking ten of them in here. one and you know I'd have one in every room.
01:47:48
Speaker
Take it to where when you pull a string on it, it does the laugh. His head shakes. It's like... a yeah a Incredible. yeah And he survives because nobody even pays any attention to him.
01:48:03
Speaker
Yeah, he's just still there sitting in his onesie.
01:48:08
Speaker
And old Lionel, our hero of the story, throws the pendant and gives Pequita a big old kiss. it's not like It's not like your typical love story because Lionel already fucked her.
01:48:24
Speaker
yeah but Just saying. so ye But they came back together. Yep, he kisses Paquita and they walk away together.
01:48:36
Speaker
Yep, that's a happy ending all the way around. Yep, because Selwyn's alive. that was the that They could have stopped it right there. Yeah.
01:48:49
Speaker
Yeah, dude. What an incredible movie. I didn't need Lionel and Paquita walking away together. yeah You could have cut the movie right at Selwyn laughing. yeah It would have been perfect.
01:49:00
Speaker
Absolutely. Cause we know Lionel and Paquita are still alive. We didn't. Yeah. We knew they made it. Yup. But I'm not gonna, um I won't complain about that too much because the movie's fucking perfect.

Legacy of Horror Directors

01:49:12
Speaker
This is, this is a perfect movie. There's no, I have no complaints about Absolutely not. Yeah. It'll, it, it will always hold up. Like don't even care.
01:49:24
Speaker
Considering 1992 on like a $3 million dollars budget. This is fucking crazy. And it going pretty much strictly underground. I mean, it wasn't a popular movie, like, at all. Like, this is another movie that... I still don't think it is. I think the only reason we regard it as more popular is because, you know, we talk to horror people. People look like horror movies. Well, yeah.
01:49:49
Speaker
It's, yeah. You know, and obviously, you know, we love Bad Taste. We love Peter Jackson's shit, you know. And then when he... When he did fucking Lord the Rings, we were like, holy shit, what are we getting into? And it turned out to be phenomenal.
01:50:06
Speaker
And I mean, Frighteners brighteners was phenomenal too, man. Like, goddamn. Peter Jackson is one of the best directors of our lifetime. Yeah, I would say so. Especially coming from like being just underground horror.
01:50:21
Speaker
the You know what I'm saying? Where he was to where he is now is just, it's incredible. And imagine when we were in high school and shit, like um we were all, you know, me, you, all our friends were into like Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi.
01:50:38
Speaker
And those two guys, as we got older, imagine how fucking mind blowing it was to for us to see them become two of the biggest directors ever.
01:50:49
Speaker
um Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Peter Jackson did fucking Lord of the Rings. Sam Raimi did the Spider-Man movies. They both became huge, huge names.
01:51:00
Speaker
Like the biggest thing, like at that point when we were in high school, I think the biggest thing that Raimi had done up until that time was Darkman, which I fucking love. But, you know, that was like as far as like him getting starting to step outside the horror realm, you know, and he was trying to actually do something.
01:51:20
Speaker
Yeah, I think um because it seemed like Army of Darkness might have killed his career, but it didn't. No, it didn't. I mean, but also during the time when that was released, like it was people, it was ah very, it was a small number of people that really knew, you know,
01:51:38
Speaker
yeah Oh, yeah. Yeah, i remember ah man me and my friend Jim, we would sit around with the VCR queued up waiting for a commercial for Army of Darkness to come on so we could record it. Right. So we'd be able to watch it.
01:51:52
Speaker
Because yeah YouTube wasn't a thing yet. Yeah, we had to sit and fucking wait. ah Yeah, and we had to buy tickets to see... ah Groundhog Day because they fucking carted us to go see Army of Darkness. Really?
01:52:09
Speaker
yeah We got carted because we were underage. We got carted to go see Army of Darkness. So we had to buy tickets to see Groundhog Day and sneak into what is arguably a G-rated movie.
01:52:24
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Army of Darkness is like way tame. Yeah. army of Darkness is not a horror movie. It's like a it's like an adventure It is.
01:52:39
Speaker
it's great. Don't get me wrong. I love it to this day, but it is not a, I wouldn't necessarily call it a horror movie. Yeah. It's, it's in that realm, that weird realm, you know, it's definitely a ah fantasy, a horror fantasy. I would say if anything, you know, don't get me wrong. I fucking love it. I respect it. It definitely, I call it a horror movie, but if we're nitpicking,
01:53:05
Speaker
I don't know why 16 year old kid couldn't watch it. That's crazy.

Nostalgic Cinema Experiences

01:53:11
Speaker
ah lot of funny though Those were the days, man, when you had to go buy tickets to another one and you got to sneak in. Like I miss that shit.
01:53:20
Speaker
Like that shit was fun. ah That shit was fun. And then sometimes if you... Some of the movie theaters, they had, like... They actually had the people that would make sure that you didn't.
01:53:31
Speaker
You know? Now they don't give a shit, but they used to have people, like, watching, like, you better not be in here. You know what I'm saying? so funny. Well, I'll tell you ah you know, I mean, we just had the good fortune of being born in an age where, in my opinion, some of the best directors were just coming up.
01:53:50
Speaker
And we got to... We got to experience that right alongside of them. Yeah, i'm pretty happy about that. you know Just seeing where they are now. you know like it's just it's It's wild.
01:54:02
Speaker
And it's possible that we're biased because they are of our generation. you know they were what or But i think it's at for me. I love also,
01:54:14
Speaker
i love i love i love sixty s also seventy s but But man, fucking Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi, George Romero, you know.
01:54:26
Speaker
Yeah. We got Toby Hooper. Yeah. Fucking. I'm not. God damn it. I'm drawing blanks here. John Waters, David Lynch.
01:54:39
Speaker
I'm old. Fucking. God damn. I can't. Harmony Kareem. Yeah. There's a lot of good shit, man. Anyway, I won't.
01:54:52
Speaker
It's just crazy. The only reason I'm talking about that is because of how crazy it is that Peter Jackson became what he is after making stuff like this. I know. It's it's hilarious.
01:55:03
Speaker
It's just it's fucking mind-blowing. Yeah. But anyway. Yeah, watch watch Meet the Feebles and then watch Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Make sure you give Bad Taste some love, too. Fuck yeah, and Meet the Feebles.
01:55:20
Speaker
And Frighteners. Yeah. Right. Yeah, Frighteners has a... a Busey in it. It does, absolutely. It's actually, it's well-casted.
01:55:31
Speaker
Like, everybody in that's fucking great. It's got the teeth of a Busey. Yeah.
01:55:38
Speaker
They had to hire just the teeth and then his son... yeah yeah Alright, well, watch it watch Dead Alive, Brain Dead, whatever you want to call it. It's one of the greatest fucking horror movies ever made this day. You will do yourself a great favor by doing this and watching this movie, for sure.
01:55:58
Speaker
And we're gonna get out of here. Email us at deadnotespodcast at gmail.com if you want to call me a fuckface or whatever. or or send your condolences since we died earlier in a tornado.
