Speaker
Welcome. For real. Good evening.
Introduction to Fright Central
00:00:18
Speaker
Welcome to Fright Central, where we talk all things horror. I'm Kekken here with Doc. How are you doing, buddy?
00:00:27
Speaker
Good. We're going to leave that. Yeah. Rock with that. Good evening. Good. That's my best Dracula voice. I mean, it's not very good. Good evening. We've included some of my shitty intros. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Always fucked up. Good evening. Welcome to Fred central where we talk. Oh yeah. That is just awful. We talk all things hard here.
00:00:52
Speaker
I'm Keck, I'm here with Doc. What's going on? Now you're trying not to do it anymore. Fucking up interest is classic. You thought I was going to do the whole thing in my Dracula voice? It sounded like you were trying to go back to your normal voice, but you kept saying it. Yeah, I was. I was mixing it up. If you want me to try and do the entire pass on my Dracula voice, I will. But I don't think anybody wants to hear that. I mean, we have like what, like average of like six listeners per episode.
00:01:22
Speaker
I don't know how it's a little more than that. I just posted the Nope episode because I've now figured out how I can like put it to so it can come out like in advance. You know what I mean? Like I can just post it that day. I can set it for a future date. And that one just came up and it's already got like nine. And I think speaking of listeners, I just wanted to give a shout out to Caitlin and Thomas Gantt.
00:01:50
Speaker
who I met at the beginning of the month at my friend's wedding in Gordon, Georgia, who made epic amounts of fun on me, many jokes, because I did not know how to access the podcast that I am
Finding the Podcast: A Humorous Tale
00:02:08
Speaker
on. And they were trying to explain to me how to find our podcasts.
00:02:15
Speaker
the subject of some ridicule i should like explain that it's your podcast you do all that i just like talk on it and shit but like anyway they said that they were going to um be uh listening in on uh the next few podcasts and i just want to say like thank you guys for you know showing me that the podcast was on three different platforms
00:02:40
Speaker
So anyway, I know about two. I mean, I guess it's Facebook. Yeah, Facebook, iTunes and Spotify. They were iTunes people. I didn't think iTunes was like I thought it was more like just Facebook and Spotify now. But apparently, like, you know, a lot of people still get their they were saying there's certain advantages to being able to like, although record podcast on iTunes or something like that.
00:03:07
Speaker
But yeah, that's where they got most of their content from. And of course, then I get all mine on I have a podcast as well. So yeah, you're an educated, separate thing. So I ideally will ultimately like we talked about this like a while ago, but I think ultimately like.
Podcast Availability Discussion
00:03:23
Speaker
the goal would be to get on youtube at some point but yeah it's free and you know when it when it happens it happens because i think you get the most amount of traffic like most people like i feel like well not necessarily podcast but like
00:03:41
Speaker
It has a greater degree of traffic than any of the other ones that we mentioned. So that would be like the ideal thing. But anyway, most of the time I listen to podcasts, I'm driving. So like my car just to mention again, watch at home. So yeah, just to mention again, you're driving out to desert to do like a Mad Max theme thing. Yeah, by the time this episode comes out, I'll already be back from it. Yeah. And I mean, I just want to say again, that's fucking awesome.
00:04:11
Speaker
Yeah, that's all I want. That's all I want to say about
Mad Max Desert Adventure
00:04:15
Speaker
that. But um, you want to just jump right in. Tonight we are going to be talking about 2022 horror slash weird as fuck movie, glorious featuring now
00:04:31
Speaker
The actor's name, who played Wes, just before we start, I want to say his name is Ryan. Is the K silent on his last name? Is it Ryan Wanton or is it Ryan Quanton? Do you know? I have no idea.
00:04:49
Speaker
all right well i guess it doesn't matter i'll just say that i'll just call him okay i'll just call him quantum i really don't know and um of course you can call him jason stackhouse from trueblood
00:05:02
Speaker
Oh yeah that was yeah I did realize I'm not gonna I tried to like never like let people know I watched True Blood like you know I mean because like at first I said oh well all guys watch True Blood for the chicks but like after like a few seasons of having to deal with that
00:05:21
Speaker
You can't make excuses anymore, man. If you're still watching True Blood, like you either like like it or like, you know, whatever, but like I could no longer use the normal guy excuse. Oh, I'm watching it for all the pretty girls. That show is just terrible.
00:05:37
Speaker
Yeah, I got to like the last season. I was like, why am I still watching this? Yeah, it was just it was just, you know what? I mean, I guess it was appealing. It was appealing story. Little too. Very good shit at the end. I was like, what is going on anymore? I mean, it was appealing to me at first, just because
00:05:56
Speaker
There was just fucking beautiful women all over the place. And that was appealing to me. And there were also like some cool things like I thought the intro of the show was really good. One of my favorite intros. Yeah. And then the music was good. And I did like Anna Paquin. And but that was about it.
00:06:14
Speaker
And I thought the story was good. It was like a new thing on. I was like a new vampire. Yeah. But maybe like the first season. But yeah, we're on the set. Oh, yes. That's ridiculous. Yeah. And if I have to hear the clicking of vampire teeth like, oh, there are just so many things that made me love it about it. And, you know, it would be cool. Like if if there was a redeeming quality, I'd say we even do a podcast on it because, you know, was
00:06:42
Speaker
I mean, it was a very popular horror show, you know, and they've already talked about remaking it. So well, that would talk about my future. Yeah. Yeah. But True Blood sequel, the good version, you know, I mean, that might just be I don't think it's going to be sequel. I think it's going to be a brand new like reboot remake. Yes. A reboot. Yeah. Well, that would be that would be awesome if they made it good.
00:07:07
Speaker
And then we can talk about it. Yeah. You could still have like beautiful, intelligent, like very good actresses in it and also have good writing. Yeah. To make it a good show. But anyway, that is a sidebar we're going to be talking about.
00:07:25
Speaker
2022 Glorious featuring Ryan Quinton. That's who I'm going with. Yes. And one
Praising J.K. Simmons
00:07:34
Speaker
of my favorite actors, even though you never get to actually see his face in the movie, which is J.K. Simmons. And if you don't know who J.K. Simmons is and you are
00:07:49
Speaker
You even call yourself anything of a film buff or even like a cinema enthusiast. You've obviously been living on the moon for like the last 40 years or however long his career has been active, active because he's been in fucking everything. And he's just one of my favorite people, I think, in Hollywood because, you know, I people have told me I overuse the term like diverse and dynamic and stuff like that.
00:08:18
Speaker
But my goodness gracious, the man is fucking the picture of just a very diverse actor that can pretty much do anything. Give me a good guy, a bad guy. He can be fucking humorous. He can do the darkest of dramas. And he can do a mixture. He can pretty much play any character. And that's rare. You know what I mean?
00:08:46
Speaker
And I'm
Discussion of 'Glorious'
00:08:48
Speaker
a huge dick rider of J.K. Simmons. And you actually get a lot of that humor in this movie. Yeah. And it's very dry humor. Like, yeah, dating backs and they come off as fucking hilarious. They're like, it pretty much all takes place in a fucking shitty restroom. And I mean, aside from Jason Stackhouse,
00:09:12
Speaker
That's probably a better name, because I should have learned how to pronounce his last name. So all right, I'll call him Jason Stackhouse. Jason Stackhouse, J.K. Simmons is the only person that I was familiar with in this film. I mean, really, there are only two characters. There's only like two other, three other actors even in the movie that you see. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, like I said, it all takes place in a crummy,
00:09:41
Speaker
like a park, like a park. Yeah, it's like a park. He's in like a public park, like a public park restroom. It's like a restroom off the side of a highway that you would stop in. I think it was a park because the guy who comes in and not to get too into it, but he was a parks and for four street officer. He's a guy that goes to parks and make sure that, like, you know, there's not cars there after closing times and stuff like that. So
00:10:11
Speaker
We're getting into ridiculous semantics. But yeah, this was like a park or possibly a park and ride shitty rest stop on the side of the road somewhere, possibly or possibly not in a public park. Anyway, why don't you talk a little bit about the movie?
00:10:28
Speaker
Well, first I want to talk about the director, Dr. Rebecca McKendry. Yes, she is. She has a PhD in media studies. So I think it'd be appropriate to call her doctor. I learned that from a buddy of mine who introduced me to Peter Weller. And he was like, make sure you say Dr. Peter Weller, because he gets really upset about it. And when somebody had asked him a question during the Robocop screening,
00:10:56
Speaker
They didn't say doctor and he was and he ran that he reeled in he was like, I didn't spend seven some odd years. Wait, that's a really true that like Peter Weller gets like upset if you don't call him doctor don't call him doctor because he's like, wait, it's so it's not like he's just like joking around like you need to call him Dr. Weller or Peter. Wow. Yeah.
00:11:20
Speaker
I didn't realize he was a toolbox. So I've always kind of liked Peter Weller. But if you get like, he was like, he seemed cool when I met him and we sat like in his row. But like, yeah, he was really adamant about being called Dr. Weller. And I was like, all right, I mean, you deserve that degree. So, yeah, I mean, if you're that pompous, you know, I know plenty of like, you know, MDS that don't like insist that I call them doctor.
00:11:49
Speaker
I don't know. I don't think she insists either, but I just thought I'd mention that she does have a doctorate in media studies. She currently teaches at USC School of Cinematic Arts. She's a professor. She actually worked for Fangoria around the same time that I did.
00:12:09
Speaker
oh nice i don't remember ever meeting her there but she was more on like the project development and uh production of director director of marketing uh she she was there for like 10 years then she went to work for bloom house productions became editor in chief there
00:12:25
Speaker
Then she was one of the hosts of the Killer POV podcast, which ran for 140 episodes. Then she moved, in 2016, the team moved to Blumhouse.com and they formed the Shock Waves podcast, which is still on now. And I can't remember if that was, which one that was called, but yeah, she's heavily in film. She's also done,
00:12:52
Speaker
She directed All the Creatures Were Stirring, which is like a Christmas movie. Psycho Granny. I haven't seen that one. Glorious, which was this one. She's got one coming up called Elevator Game. So she's like fairly established. Yeah, she worked on the underground horror scene. Yeah, so yeah, she's yeah, she knows her shit like, you know, and she's actually doing the I remember the the cheerleader movie Bring It On.
00:13:21
Speaker
Yes, they're doing one called Bring It On Cheer or Die. And it's a it's a horror movie. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. I mean, I know I write her on it. She didn't. She's not directing it. But I always like this sorority house master movies, especially the ones that I watched.
00:13:40
Speaker
And, uh, Joe Bob Briggs drive-in theater when he used to have that, uh, show on the movie channel, I believe it was. And, uh, I always enjoyed like the slumber party mask or sorority house mask or cheerleader mask or movies. Like I always, um, I always thought that they were, um, really cool. So anyway, but, um.
00:14:00
Speaker
Getting back to topic at hand gories so yes so she had worked on this with her husband i believe her husband actually wrote it and then like they kind of pass it to somebody else to you know kind of clean it up yeah yeah she was picked directly and like through her connections that she's made over the years
00:14:20
Speaker
they got Ryan and and JK to to do the voice on it and they shot it during the pandemic which made it because they were thinking about what can we do to shoot during the pandemic that's real simple and they figure it out yeah it's like it's really one actor yeah
00:14:35
Speaker
Yeah, in a bathroom stall and the rest of it is JK just doing the voice of it so I thought yeah, they definitely figured out how to make things work you know I talked about like the Mandalorian how they like help to make things work but uh
00:14:52
Speaker
Yeah, they definitely figure things out. And I was wondering, like, how they would get, like, JK Simmons for, like, a small role in, like, you know, an independent, like, low-budget movie. And like you said, like, she had connections through. He gave her the script and he read it and was like, yeah, we're doing this. And like, that's pretty much what gave them enough to get them the budget to do the movie, too, to get it. Yeah. Was JK involved. Like, fuck, yeah, we're doing this. All right.
00:15:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The shutter original. So yeah, you only need one big name, I guess. And yeah, I mean, you get somebody you get somebody noteworthy involved in. Yeah. I mean, this this was because Watcher was also shutter, right? Yes. Yes. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So the shutter original and
00:15:44
Speaker
You want to talk a little bit about what it was about and your initial impressions? I mean, I liked it a lot. I thought it was funny. It had a lot. What was it about?
00:15:58
Speaker
It was about this character, Wes, played by Ryan, you know, Jason Stackhouse who stops at a rest stop. And he's like distraught over what seems to be a recent breakup. And he's like burning pictures and stuff like that. Like it was a devastating breakup.
00:16:15
Speaker
He gets real hammered in the in the parking lot and he wakes up real hammered in in this in the bathroom. Well, yeah, you know, he wakes up outside and then he goes into the bathroom and like throws up and he's only he like burned his fucking pants somehow. So he's only like his boxers and a T-shirt in this fucking. Yeah. Well, he was like burning photos and stuff like that and like drinking heavily. And he was like doing all this like he was doing it in a public park.
00:16:43
Speaker
Like just totally like you know you legally just shit face and ends up in the bathroom and he throws up and.
00:16:51
Speaker
You wanna- Yeah, yeah. Meet JK Simmons. You hear him in the stall next to him and at first you just think he's just some guy that had stopped there to take a shit in the fucking toilet as well. And he's having a conversation and he was like, I'm not really a fucking bathroom talker. Why are you talking to me? And then it was like- Yeah, but there was a glory hole.
00:17:16
Speaker
There was a glory hole. Yeah. So he's a glory hole. He's a God. I can't pronounce his name, but I really like I liked how he told him how to pronounce his name by pinching his tongue and like saying it, saying a certain word. And like, that's how it came out was was his name. I thought that was really good. It was it was just, yeah, to say his name.
00:17:39
Speaker
Yeah. If you didn't say it by like holding your tongue, it was like impossible to pronounce his name. But like the thing is, is like, yeah, he's like, I'm not much of a bathroom talker. He's throwing up in the store. I think some guys taking a shit and the other one, but like I'm especially not going to be a bathroom talker. If like.
00:18:00
Speaker
there's a glory hole in the two stalls between us. I don't even know if I would respond if there was a glory hole and some other dude starts talking to me. And it was the most ominous looking of glory holes.
00:18:18
Speaker
because like it was like there was like this like um i don't know like it was like a glory hole in the middle of some kind of like lovecraftian monsters something i think there were like the artwork that they had on it yeah it was just like
00:18:34
Speaker
Yeah, it was like, I don't know. Yeah, it looked like some kind of like weird, like sick creature and dead up where like the creature's like mouth would be or like core would be. That's where the glory hole was. And yeah, I got to tell you, I would have been like very uncomfortable in that situation, which he was. Yeah, he did try to bounce, but like the door was locked by
00:19:00
Speaker
by this entity and he goes on to explain that like his father had created him who was not set in the movie but his father is Cthulhu and that his father had created him to destroy humanity
00:19:18
Speaker
But then his brothers and sisters had trapped the Cthulhu, and then he was kind of free, but trapped at the same time. And he like had become, you know, what do you call it? He became into like humanity and wanted to live. He didn't want to destroy it.
00:19:40
Speaker
so he needed a piece of Wes to free himself and his liver I believe it was yeah well that's not really implied that until later on where he takes the whole time he wants his dick and yeah they go there that he's like
00:19:57
Speaker
I don't I don't want your fucking you think your penis is going to save mankind. Well, I mean about it. Obviously, this may be so like the plot so ridiculous that there is going to be inevitable moments of comedy.
00:20:11
Speaker
Yeah. But yeah, I mean, considering it was a glory hole, I mean, the logical conclusion and the way he was talking it up definitely seemed like he wanted him to, you know, use the glory hole for intended purposes. And it turns out that, you know, the piece of him he wants is his liver. And there's a very, very funny scene that kind of reminded me of
00:20:40
Speaker
part of team america world police where the guy goes to like the secret agent and he says if you're in trouble and you need to take your own life
00:20:50
Speaker
use this, and he hands him like a tool shop hammer. Well, when he tells Wes he needs a piece of him, he's like, use this. And he just gives him a dirty shard of glass. Yeah, he slides underneath the thing. He slides under this, you know, like from the stall, the toilet. And yeah, he's just like, use this. He's just a dirty shard of glass.
00:21:16
Speaker
I like when he's talking about, like, he was like, oh, man, like, I just had my hands and mouth all over this fucking pussy. I don't know what else is on there. And he just he just starts listing off what was on the toilet. Yeah, he could tell him, like, basically like every like micro organism and every person that contributed to this organism. Yeah.
00:21:37
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's, uh, it's very, yeah, I mean, it's, it's funny. It's disgusting. And one thing I thought was interesting was, um, when he's like kind of, um, when they show like the scenes where he's kind of like talking about how he came to be and stuff, you kind of see the physical form of like some of the creatures, the gods, and they, um,
00:22:07
Speaker
They have a definite resemblance to anyone that's familiar with the Mass Effect video game franchise. They have a strong resemblance to the creatures known as the Reapers, who were basically the bad guys in the Mass Effect video game franchise that you were fighting against. I don't know if it was done
00:22:29
Speaker
intentional, but they had like a very strong resemblance. Definitely. They're definitely went more with like, I don't, they didn't mention it in the Q&A, but they were definitely talking more about like the Lovecraftian aspects and stuff. I mean, the Reapers were kind of looked like that. I mean, they, the Reapers just
00:22:48
Speaker
they resembled like sort of the Lovecraftian monsters. Yeah. So I mean, I'm just saying when they showed them, like I automatically thought, oh, they're the Reapers, like, you know, I mean, because they look very, very similar. Yeah. So. But yeah, I guess you're saying that's not where the inspiration is. Definitely more straight up. Yeah. Lovecraft monsters, which I really liked how he was like, yeah, you look at me, you're going to go fucking mad.
00:23:15
Speaker
Yeah, he says you're going to not only go mad, he says you're not going to die, but like you're going to be transformed into like the most hideous looking thing where like he says that anyone on the planet Earth that like saw you would be like so like grotesquely like ill because of your form being
00:23:37
Speaker
like the most hideous abominable thing like known to like the human imagination he like gets into it like really really hardcore he's like that's what's gonna happen if like you try to look at me and of course he does try to look at him and it causes a bunch of problems yeah he has a little madness a little taste of madness there which i really yeah
00:24:00
Speaker
Like, and I liked when he tried to like escape by crawling through the ducks and he ends up right back in the same night. He's like, oh, god damn it. Like that was a really cool scene of him crawling through there. Yeah. I don't know how he envisioned that was going to go there. Like he was talking to, well, I guess at the time, because it takes a lot to be able to fathom that you're actually talking to a mythological God.
00:24:28
Speaker
through a glory hole in a dirty, you know, fucking bathroom. So I think for a while, he may have thought he was just naturally going insane. Yeah. And like, you know, he had gotten way too wasted and like he had somehow locked himself in the bathroom. So I think like he was like trying to escape because like he even shows he looks out the window and there's like this
00:24:55
Speaker
purple force field that like kind of goes over the place. So I mean, he must have still been in the phase where like, all right, I got way too shit face. I'm hallucinating. And I'm going to try to get out of here. But like, yeah, at some point, I don't think he expected the laws of physics to change. Yeah, to change. Yeah. Well, that's when he realized like, oh, fuck. All right. This is really happening.
00:25:21
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And but he was able to war another guy into the bathroom with him, who was like a ranger. Yeah. And he just owned that. And like, that was his property to take care of. No, he was he was an officer. He was he was he was a forestry ranger, like what Mike wanted to originally be. You know, he goes to different parts, you know, make sure people are safe.
00:25:51
Speaker
and make sure that there's no like cars in the parking lot. Like I had a friend that did it with Washington crossing park were near where we grew up. But anyway, yeah, he was like a forestry officer and he goes in there because he hears, you know,
00:26:07
Speaker
Stackhouse like yelling from inside help me help me help me like so this force field was apparently not like soundproof and the guy goes in there and Well, there's he says that he was losing his power a bit like was yeah, yeah That's how it cracks and like the universe started opening. Yeah, but JK Simmons aka to lose offspring tells him that there's going to be a
00:26:36
Speaker
consequences, I believe is what he used. Yeah. And yeah, there were consequences. Yeah. I like the consequences that happened. Yeah.
00:26:53
Speaker
The other part, um, I liked, uh, some of the, sorry, it was one of the more funnier parts when like JK is going on that long monologue about like, you know, emptying the void and shit like that. And he just starts taking a piss. Yeah. He's like, Oh, sorry. Like I had to go. Then he was just like, all right, you can continue. And he goes back into like how the void is like calling him and shit. Well, and there were several times where like.
00:27:23
Speaker
JK's character was just kind of going on like rants and you had to like pay attention because Wes was just trying to escape and after the park ranger gets murdered and there's like you know chunks of him all over the place
00:27:43
Speaker
Uh, Wes picks up, I think his leg. It was like his armors. I think it was his leg. Yeah. Okay. And he begins like beating this, like, you know, trying to escape and like,
00:27:56
Speaker
like jk knows he's going nowhere so he's just still going on like his rant about like everything that's going on and like you know he's just west is not listening to any of it and he's just trying to escape and then like you know he says some like keywords and talks about like how he needed to give him his liver and you know that kind of brings him uh back into the fold but like yeah there's a
00:28:21
Speaker
Well, there are certain periods in the movie. I think it's funny because JK is just going on a rant and he's just not hearing it at all. He's just trying to get out. And I think that's like that's somewhat. I mean, that's good because like that's what you would be doing, right? Yeah. Like if you're sitting in there trying to listen to him, you'd be trying to escape.
Wes's Restroom Escape Attempts
00:28:42
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to bounce. Like, you know, I mean, like I'm hoping best case scenario, I'm going insane.
00:28:50
Speaker
Like that's the best case scenario the guy could have hoped for was that he was having a nervous mental breakdown. And of course that turns out not to be the case.
00:29:02
Speaker
Would you have given your liver to the Elder God or just let them destroy, let Cthulhu destroy humanity? Bro, I really don't know what I would have done. I probably would have just let humanity be destroyed. I might have just killed myself. I might have taken that shard of glass and just tried to like
00:29:21
Speaker
slit my own throat or something, you know what I mean? Like, I kind of want to see where this goes. I kind of want to see the madness fucking begin and just let the fucking world I would have been into that. Given given it being if it was actually me, if it was, you know, Brandon, like inside this restroom, knowing that I have a history of mental illness, I probably, you know, that might be TMI for the cast. But like,
00:29:50
Speaker
Knowing myself the way I do, I'm not sure I would be able to convince myself that this is actually happening. So I don't think I would have actually sliced into my own lever, which would have then created Cthulhu to destroy humanity.
00:30:11
Speaker
No, not oh, yeah, not slicing it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I don't think I could either just because I don't think I could cut myself like that. Like, well, I don't think anyone like you would bleed out not being a doctor. Like, how would you know how to take a piece out of your own liver? Like, if you puncture even almost
00:30:31
Speaker
he's almost about doing on the wrong side too he's like on the other side he's like oh shit yeah i don't think that there's any way even if i wanted to do it like if you puncture your liver like you're going to bleed
00:30:48
Speaker
You're going to bleed out. Like, you know what I mean? Spoilers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I like others. I like the other twist in it as well. I mean, it's definitely a spoiler. So you should have went into shock.
00:31:03
Speaker
When you started trying to dig into your own liver with a fucking, uh, crusty shar of glass, the glass would probably break first off and like shattered inside you. And like, I think you would probably bleed out before you were able to actually sever a piece of your own liver and then hand it to. Oh, here.
00:31:26
Speaker
kind of just cut it open and like the tongue came across through the glory hole and got it out. I'm just I'm just simply saying like, yeah, I to answer your question as directly as possible. I don't know what I would have done specifically, but I probably wouldn't have cut myself. Yeah, I would just like to do that. Fuck it.
00:31:48
Speaker
And just hope you were and like, you know, best case, like, hopefully I'm just insane. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? Because that's what happens to insane people. They cut themselves with shards of glass and stuff like that. Like, you know, they're found blood out fucking restrooms. Well, JK kind of says that, too, like, you know, because he's like, oh, you know, I'm a hero. Like, you know, I saved I saved I saved Earth. And he's like,
00:32:17
Speaker
No, like you're not like neither of my none of us will ever be known, remembered or anything like that. You're just going to be some asshole that they find in a fucking dirty ass park restroom and let out fucking after cutting into yourself, it's going to look like you went crazy and committed suicide. That's how you're going to be remembered.
00:32:41
Speaker
Yeah, no one's going to know about you. Yeah, I like that. That was awesome at the end, too. Yeah. How did you feel about the the other big twist about Jason Stackhouse's character?
Character Twist: Wes the Serial Killer
00:32:54
Speaker
What other big I'm sorry. He was a serial killer this entire time. I I missed that. Did you? Well, yeah, he killed that that girl.
00:33:06
Speaker
Yeah, it turns out like you remember there was a scene in one of the flashbacks where she even goes like stalk much and he's like, no, it's like, wait a minute. Was he a serial killer in terms of like he had killed multiple victims in sequence or he just murdered his girlfriend?
00:33:28
Speaker
Well, this current one, like he didn't like he didn't. This is like the one girl he didn't want to. But no, she finds this container that he has of Polaroids of pictures of women he's killed before. And that's how she finds out she was. I somehow must have like gotten this. See, this is again, like sort of like why I guess for especially if you're going to be talking about things on like a podcast and stuff, trying to be accurate.
00:33:57
Speaker
You should probably watch stuff alone by yourself. You should probably not have other people that could distract you. Especially, I mean, this is a very distracting movie if you're watching with other people because you're just like,
00:34:11
Speaker
What the fuck? Like, you know, it's not an eccentric idea. Yeah. And I mean, I watched it twice. So when you said other big twist, like I was like going through my head like in circles and I was like, I got nothing like what I mean. Yeah, I did not realize that he. So he was a serial killer. Yeah. And like, I guess she had like fallen in love with him and he wasn't really expecting that. But then like she had found
00:34:40
Speaker
what he had done before and was like, well, fuck, I got to kill you now. And I didn't really want to. And that's what makes him upset about it was more about that. Like he was actually in love with this girl. Then how the fuck did I miss that rather noticeable thing? That's like, um, yeah, it was like one of the flashbacks with the teddy bear that he has. Yeah. It's like, well, is he talented Mr. Ripley and not.
00:35:05
Speaker
Realizing Ripley's bisexual. It's like watching The Sixth Sense and not knowing Bruce Willis was wearing that toupee the whole time. Because that's the twist of that movie, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35:22
Speaker
Somehow that was all stunning. Yeah, I did not realize he was a serial killer. It's definitely worth watching twice. Well, now that you say it makes sense, I mean, did they delve deep into his serial killer background or it was kind of just like,
00:35:45
Speaker
revealed like rather abruptly and quickly that like yeah he was a serial killer and that's why him and his girlfriend split up because he had to murder her. Yeah it wasn't like necessarily suddenly and abruptly there are hints to it earlier like throughout the movie but like you like you won't really catch it until the uh until the end.
00:36:09
Speaker
Yeah, I thought it was well-hitting. Yeah, it was very, very well-headed, but it now does appear that I missed out on one of the central subplots of the movie. He wasn't just some guy who ends up and it was all lined up for that god to meet him there and to kill him because he was a terrible person as well. Yeah.
00:36:38
Speaker
Yeah, I did not know that. So big, big slip on my part. But, hey, you don't have to have known that to know that this movie was fucking amazing.
Final Thoughts on 'Glorious'
00:36:50
Speaker
It was, I mean, about as unique and original of an idea as you're going to get. It was done with an extremely low budget. It was done very cleverly. You know, JK Simmons was great.
00:37:05
Speaker
the
00:37:25
Speaker
Yeah, I wouldn't say that like he's a big actor because I haven't seen him in anything else. But I didn't really I didn't really look into his biography or his filmography before we went on. So but yeah, I mean, great cast, great writing, well executed, extremely, extremely unique writing. I love the movie. I just obviously missed out on like one
00:37:54
Speaker
rather, I guess, large subplot. But I mean, you know, I really, really enjoyed this one. And the first few minutes in, I was thinking, what has Doc got me watching? Yeah, because I was just like, dude, and like, you know, I was watching, I was like,
00:38:14
Speaker
All right, I'll give it another 10 minutes. And goddamn, I'm glad I did. Yeah, it takes about 10 minutes for JK to show up. But once he shows up, you're hooked to the rest of the movie, because you're like, he's got such a great voice and just a commanding presence. There's nothing else you could do but just revel in all. Yeah.
00:38:34
Speaker
All right, well, that's been our glorious cast. I will. Thanks for listening. Thanks for joining me, Keck. And always, brother, we're going to be talking. We have a bunch of stuff. There's a lot of content up, but like.
00:38:50
Speaker
What we do in shadows, we're going to do a little throwback to a movie we both missed in 2017 called Mother, which needs to be mentioned with Jennifer Lawrence. Great. So those are some upcoming things we're going to be talking about. But yeah, man, it was a pleasure as always. All right. Thanks a lot.
