Ep 105: Tremors 2: Aftershocks
80 Plays2 months ago
This sequel to our Patreon exclusive episode was released a whopping SIX YEARS after the original, seeing the return of Fred Ward and Michael Gross, but notably not Kevin Bacon. Ward is now an ostrich farmer and graboid hunter for hire, recruited to help a Mexican oil company eradicate their infestation south of the border. Joined by a new, forgettable partner, Ward begins to realize that the graboids have evolved into a slimy version of Nerds candy and has to pull out all the stops to win the day with the help of his old pal Burt and a truckload of explosives.

Introduction to Tremors 2 and initial impressions
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome back, guys. Guess what? We did Tremors 2, The Aftershock. I got it all wrong. Fuck you. It's Tremors 2, Aftershocks. Welcome back, guys. We just watched a movie nobody cares about, but Derek called Aftershocker. I'm Derek. I'm Winnie. I'm Jack. This is Bad Movies. We're Speed Bowl.
00:00:48
Speaker
I'm sorry. A movie that no one cares about. This movie is awesome. Honestly, it's a solid one star less than Tremors, but I'm I'm throwing some smoke, but this was really fun. The graphics were only bad when they had to have the things moving. Other than that, we're still doing creatures. We're still doing rubber, fucking rubber, fucking rubber, fucking.
00:01:11
Speaker
Dude, those, the, the Graboids look fucking amazing. Unlike Kevin Bacon. Yeah. ah The Graboids look better in this. Another weak spot though. No Kevin Bacon. Every casting besides Fred Ward and Michael Gross. Yeah. Everybody else in this is weak. Yeah. I think ah and Grady's the worst. He is. Not even arguable. Not even arguable. Grady's the worst.
00:01:36
Speaker
Kate wasn't that bad. She wasn't that good. Well, just like Tremors. She needed some laxative. She needed some lubricant. What kind of wet is she getting? She needed some lubricant in there. Red Fred Ward staring at that pooper and it just sprays. Yeah, but he's into it.
00:01:51
Speaker
oh Someone talk about who am I? I didn't know you were that kind of old school. Dang.
Patreon plug and historical context of Friday the 13th
00:01:57
Speaker
But ah if you if you guys want to hear us talk about the first Tremors, you can get that on our Patreon at patreon dot.com slash worse people. But that one like also had we do enjoy good movies. We do. That one also had a female character that was made by an actress who was flat and boring.
00:02:14
Speaker
because, unfortunately, they don't really matter in these movies. What did I say? She got kicked out of a library for being too boring. Yeah. and I was coughing when you said that, and my brain hurt, kicked out of a vibrator, and I was just like, wow, Jack, you kicked out of a vibrator. Kicked out by a vibrator? That's happened. as I got kicked out of a bedroom by a vibrator. I don't have 10 speeds, dude. But before we get started on that, we've in the past we read some new newsletters.
00:02:47
Speaker
Yeah. No, they weren't newsletters. Emails. Emails. There we go. That's the word I'm looking for. Did you really just I thought you were being clever and cute with newsletters. Nope. I was going to say letters. Electronic letters in the past. But I have some YouTube a YouTube comment I would like to read to you guys because it pertains to a very recent episode and um hit me. It's a YouTube comment that doesn't use any racial slurs. It doesn't tell us that we're awful.
00:03:14
Speaker
This is new. I'm excited. yeah I'm an excite. Are you an excite? I mean, my response to this guy was actually, well, goddamn, thank you for the response. I said, God damn. And then I said, I actually learned from a YouTube comment and I appreciate it. So clap, clap.
00:03:31
Speaker
I think all of us did it without me hitting the microphone. Without anyone hitting the microphone. I would risk it. I would i wanted to do another golf clap for you, but I don't want to risk hitting the microphone. We got away clean. Walk away. I missed what he used to do with his face. Yeah, I like that. So this guy ah commented on our Friday the 13th, part five, a new beginning. Oh, OK. With Tommy, Tony, Roy.
00:03:54
Speaker
No, nor it was it touch was the killer. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy was yeah tommy's the lead. Yeah. And also he was kind of the killer, too. But we talked about why it was called Friday the 13th and I was like, I don't know. The first one probably took place on Friday the 13th. So Jason was born on Friday the 13th. Oh, this guy's by the way, his name is Freddie Mercury ZY 7OP. OK, I like you a lot, sir.
00:04:16
Speaker
So or ma'am Jason was born on Friday the 13th. Jason drowned on the 13th. His mom went on a killing spree to close the camp down on Friday the 13th. So that film takes place then and also parts two, five, six, seven, nine, and 10 and the remake take place on Friday the 13th. Although the date is only brought up occasionally and is usually zero consequence to the story. Uh, the real world reason why it's called Friday the 13th is because Sean S. Cunningham, who directed the first one, uh, was banking on the success of Halloween and Friday the 13th sounded like a good title.
00:04:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. But yeah, for I mean, thank you. That's actually that makes sense. I did learn from a you. It checks all my boxes. guys ah The next one we were talking about. Oh, I mentioned um we talked about Jason having a worm in his head and all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I mentioned how they later on they had said that they decided on Halloween that Michael Myers was the shape and he was like this otherworldly being or whatever. Yeah.
00:05:14
Speaker
This guy, obviously a horror fan. He said Michael Myers was always called The Shape in the original 1978 film. it's He's credited as The Shape. ah It has less to do with him being possessed by any entity or demon and was meant to be more metaphorical. He's the embodiment of evil in the shape of human. He has no distinctive features or personality, just the outline of a person.
00:05:35
Speaker
And then there's some more stuff about what they do later on, but we'll probably talk about this. But didn't they make that like Jamie Lee Curtis's brother or something? Yeah, that wasn't until the second one, I believe. OK, so in the first I got you when we were talking about if the fifth sequel of anything sucks.
Critique of Twilight saga and other movie franchises
00:05:49
Speaker
Yeah, or is good. It's good. Whoo. So he just listed some off. All right. So and I'm going to disagree with some of these, but I might too. So Scream 2022, which was good. It was good in my opinion. That's the one with Jenna Ortega, right? The first one, yeah. Yeah. The Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part Two, which is fucking trash. I can't. You hated that one. I didn't watch it. It's the worst one out of a series of awful movies. It's because you're never going to watch them, right? Never. It's all a vision. Like, none of the battle fucking happens. Oh, it's like you wake up and it's a dream? No, there's like they go together to have the big climactic battle of these last fucking 11 hours of horseshit. And everybody's getting slaughtered. There's this big fight. People are dying. It's great. All this cool stuff's happening.
00:06:33
Speaker
And then it turns out that the girl was just having a vision or something. I hate hearing her vision. I hate it. Yeah, awful. But hey, you know, I dislike that trope a lot. I being a fan of the books, I the book did it much better. And I was like, oh, my God. glad but That just means nothing happened. You just went through, especially in books, you just read two thousand pages. Yeah. And the conclusion was nothing happened. If the book is doing that, too, I hate as much. Your favorite book.
00:06:59
Speaker
No, you need consequences. That's storytelling. Stories need consequences. OK, I'm not getting into this. There was no consequence other than they had a weird little baby that Taylor was trying to have sex with. Oh, actually, OK, that is a big consequence. Taylor Lautner was not trying to have sex with the baby. He imprinted on the baby, which meant he was going to protect this child. He's grooming it? Yeah, exactly. No, not even grooming it. Where was groom? Not even grooming. Look, he was just going to help raise it. He was going to help raise it, much like Woody Allen helped raise his cell phone. Oh, my God. Pass.
00:07:29
Speaker
Yeah. So then he also said Evil Dead Rise, which I did not watch. That's the most recent one. I haven't seen any of these. I saw the the. Why are you on this? Because I like bad movies. I saw the first Evil Dead like reboot and I was I wasn't for me, so I didn't see the new one. But I've heard mixed things, but a lot of good things. Fast Five, which was one of the best fast, furious if I remember right. I have seen this, but no. Isn't that the first one with Kurt Russell?
00:07:56
Speaker
He's getting fast and furious? Yeah, he's in two of them. For a fucking, for a cup of coffee. No, one of them, he's in a lot of it. He's Mr. Nobody. Yeah, he's Mr. Nobody. The only one I truly enjoyed was the
Nostalgia for Muppet's Treasure Island
00:08:07
Speaker
last one with Momoa, and I've talked about why. Okay. I can't remember. I watched them all in a row sometimes. I want to say the last one I watched was like four.
00:08:16
Speaker
ah Then he says Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, which I can't agree with because Mission Impossible one's great, two and three are trash, and the rest of them are all really good. Yeah. Okay. Police Academy Five, assignment Miami Beach. I can't comment on that one. Okay, I can. and he's not They are not wrong. The Miami one is fucking dope. Okay.
00:08:38
Speaker
I mean, they're all pretty does they still have Mahoney. Yeah. Yeah. All right. He's he's out in it was at Gutenberg, right? gu yeah I was like Spielberg. He's out. and I think the next one, City Under Siege. OK. Does it have the warm my but but guy? Yeah. Michael Winslow. I think he's in all of them. and I think Bobcats in all of them. now saysar I can't do a bobcat. I think he's in the first thought he wasn't the first one record. He's in the second one. All right, you guys I've been all these fucking movies for no reason yeah out That's why wow That's the reason I could be wrong though. I haven't seen I bought the box set because I was like, I'm going to watch all these. I have not. Well, we can make it ah an off record night. Only if you want to watch all seven tremors also. So seven, seven police academies, seven tremors, seven suicides, eight crazy nights. Well, yeah, what's we'll do? We'll watch one and one, two and two. three Oh, thank you. No. He says Jason Bourne, but I didn't see that one either. That was the fifth one of those. I only saw the first Bourne movie. I think my my biggest problem is I don't watch the fifth of anything except for Fifth Element. o You only live twice, which is James Bond, so I didn't watch it. Muppet's Treasure Island. That is my favorite Tim Curry movie. I've got cabin fever. I've got it, too. I haven't seen it. like
00:10:05
Speaker
He says the Deadpool, which is Clint Eastwood, Harry. ah almost Harry Potter. the fifth Harry. Harry. Harry. You almost misspoke. Dirty dirty Harry. Did I fire 20 shots or 48? You got to ask yourself. You feel lucky, Paul? Do you? ah Avengers Endgame. So I'll agree with that, even though it's not really. It's the fifth Avengers, but I mean.
00:10:28
Speaker
I guess it's hard for me to count those movies. It's like the 21st movie in the series. Yeah. But it is the 5th Avenger. It's the 5th Avenger. Prey from 2022, which is the 5th Predator. The Domino. Yeah. Prey is so good. Mothra versus Godzilla, which I'm the only one here who's probably seen. No, I saw it with you. No, the old Mothra versus Godzilla. Yeah, you had me watch it with you. No, that was... You put toothpicks in her eyes, dude. That was a different one.
00:10:51
Speaker
um Oh, no, you had me watch Ghidorah. Not Ghidorah. Don't tell me. Ghidorah. Well, Ghidorah is... No, Ghidorah the Explorer. Ghidorah is one that we watched, and then I think the one that we watched at your parents' house that you might be thinking of was, I think, Gigan. No, that's... It's not Ghidorah because Ghidorah isn't Ghidorah from... King Ghidorah, the three-headed dragon. I and i thought Ghidorah was the green chick.
00:11:16
Speaker
That's Gamora. Oh, but anyway. So thank you, Freddie Mercury. Thank you, et cetera, et cetera, for commenting and adding 20 minutes to this episode because we can't shut up and being helpful. Yeah, that's mostly it. Thanks, bud. Because I really wanted to know those answers. OK, so back to Tremors 2, Aftershock, Electric
Production insights and tribute to Fred Ward
00:11:37
Speaker
Boogaloo.
00:11:39
Speaker
It always works yeah it was weird anytime you put number two it's so good to say electric google um And you know that movie was put out by Canon Yeah. Yeah. Have you watched Electric Boogaloo, the documentary? No. whole It's about canon films. I'll be right back. It's fucking amazing. I got to drop a number two, Electric Boogaloo. Anyway, this movie came out in 1996. It's rated PG-13. And it was direct to video, although, so they finished filming it in 1994. So it didn't take six years to make a sequel. It took four. Uh-huh.
00:12:09
Speaker
But basically they showed it to the test audiences. They loved it. Universal is pushing for direct to video. The directors were the director and writers were fighting them to get it theatrical because people loved it so much. Yeah. So there's a bunch of back and forth. It ended up being directed video and it didn't come out until 96. I mean, we're talking about I liked it so much more than I thought. i like I remember watching it. Yeah. And I don't think I had an appreciation back then. I was a young buck.
00:12:35
Speaker
I was looking for the new. You've seen all these new movies and you're like, wow, these movies from the 90s aren't that bad. Yeah. ah Maybe that's it, too. I got a different lens on. Yeah, we all just have Stockholm syndrome from all the shit we've had to watch the last 20 years. We didn't talk about it last time. we've We've talked about it before. But Fred Ward, who is no longer with us. It's a shame. 2022. That sucks, man. i a Big shame. We talk about it a bit on everything that he's in. He should be on previous episode, Remo Williams. We talked about it a lot. so But he should be on.
00:13:05
Speaker
on us in a scene with John burnfall yeah there he should have been so jon burnfall is dead yeah yeah it would be so awesome he's the punisher's dad oh yeah the punishes oh please mr. punisher is my dad i'm just the punisher
00:13:24
Speaker
So as I I started on our Patreon, which you guys don't know unless you're subscribers at Patreon.com slash first people now with Jay.

And you can buy it on Apple or Amazon for $15 or you can do what I did and buy the beautiful 4K restoration from Arrow Video, which is probably more than both those.
00:14:11

I mean, 14's a lot to buy, and I buy some stupid shit. I know I spent more than $15 on this movie, but I also love this movie. Yeah. so I do too. Mine comes in a fancy hard box. It's got a little book and a poster. I know, he was trying to show off too. Oh he tried to show it to you today. yeah He was like look this and it has this and also this is the original poster and this is the Shock Syndrome poster. shout Shock Factory. It's arrow video.

00:14:44
Speaker
I think it was last night. He's like, look at this case that it came in. Look how pretty it is. And I was like, yep, got it. But this is what it's like. And the few times I've brought a day back to my house and they go through my Star Wars stuff like, well, then this is the Gamorian Guard. I got him over here right next to Bim Fortuna because he's in charge of job. This one's actually named Octa. So, OK, the only way I can like put my hat in this ring is let me show you my glass knives.
00:15:12
Speaker
Oh, God, I forgot the glass knives. Way nerdier than movies or Star Wars. lee Yeah, you're such a nerd. And I can say that. What? Yeah, I can drop the N word. Wait till you see my knives. That has some good lighting. Otherwise, it's going to be right. I'm going to look right through them. there're Some of them have different colors this movie and different handles. I'm going to stab you with a clear one like ooh stained glass knives.
00:15:33
Speaker
yeah ah Only if I can stab you too, see if Jinger's bleed the same way. Hey man, I'm fucking dying here. you ble He bleeds carrot juice, don't worry about it. Do you like carrots? I love carrots. okay That's cannibalism. I don't care for Jinger.
00:15:51
Speaker
People every do every time like we had that cider on tap at work and be like, you like it? I'm like, I don't like ginger. And every person's like, oh, ironic. I'm like, oh, no, it's not. It's just a stupid name for us, dude. Why would you ever date someone of you? Well, you have brown hair. Do you like brown nails? You can't you can't date have a redhead dating another redhead. No matter what. Everyone's like, what are you, brother and sister? Even though two blondes dating is fine. Yeah. Two dark hair. Well, because they know that one of them is a fake blonde. Also, if two redheads have a kid, that's how you end up with either, A, Dennis the Menace, or B, the Invisible Boy. Jokes on you, we're going extinct because we pull out. It's in our blood. We're like, hey, you want to make a baby? Sure. Oh, pulled out again. We'll try again tomorrow. Oh, pulled out again. You'll never go extinct. It's a recessive gene in every person. It's a recessive gene in all of us because the Vikings raped everybody. She's not wrong. You're reading different literature than I'm reading, sir. We are supposed to be gone by, I think it's like 2040, 2050.
00:16:47
Speaker
Oh, so when you die, you're the last to live. I'm the last. There can be only one. That's a movie we're going to make, guys. The Last Ginger. We only fight at night. um So this movie is directed by S.S. Wilson, a warship from oh my World War II. I mean, that's better than being a fucking SS.
00:17:05
Speaker
Officer, right? Conrad Wilson. Please refer me to as ah as a ship. Please. ah Who also directed Tremors for The Legend Begins. These guys are just like fucking switch hitting this Tremors franchise. and And it was written by him and Brent Maddock. And they also wrote the first one, this one, the third one and the fourth one. Plus short circuit one and two. Batteries not included. Ghost Dad. Wild Wild West.
00:17:31
Speaker
like ah some' one yeah We talked about that on patreon I Don't think so I'm gonna go back soon. I want you guys to guess how much money this movie cost 15. The first one was 11 million. Yes. So this one's going to be 13 million. I'm going to change mine. Oh, what? Boy, you don't have Kevin Bacon. Yeah, you know, you know how much it was going to cost when Kevin Bacon was going to be on twenty five seventeen. But Kevin Bacon turned it down not because he was like you tremors. Maybe that was part of it, but because he was also offered Apollo 13. And what are you going to do? Yeah, you were fucking Ron Howard instead of SS Underwood.
00:18:14
Speaker
That's just what I'm calling the team up. But yeah, so the budget was cut from 17 to 4 because bacon wasn't involved. Wow. Okay, how much? I mean, you're getting a theatrical release though with bacon. Yeah. That's also how how I cut my breakfast budget. If I'm not involving bacon, $17 down to $4. Easily. Bacon's expensive these days. That's excellent.
00:18:36
Speaker
Eggs and toast. And Rebo wasn't in the movie, not because supposedly not because she didn't want to, but she was touring. Nobody wanted her back. Yeah. Also, i I like the stuff they do with Bert and we already got her to say elephant gun. What else are we going to have her do? Have her say it again. Elephant gun. Yeah, I do like what they're doing with Michael Gross. Well, that's what he did say. She still visited her sister. Oh, yep. It's been six years. Oh, and the line ah Heather's not coming back. She called me and asked me for the HK nine back. Oh, no, not the HK nine. ah It's she said it was she you know that she actually blamed our relationship on the collapse of the Soviet Union. Well, you took it hard. She said I could I
Character portrayal and movie references
00:19:17
Speaker
couldn't live. I couldn't. Well, I was tough to live with. Unless there's a World War three fucking threat imminent disaster. Yeah. Which you know what, dude, I've heard some of these words in lighter fashion to myself. I need something to worry about or else I'm going to bother you.
00:19:33
Speaker
We talked a little bit on the Patreon episode, but there's their designs for the Shriekers were done by the guy who was also working on star Starship Troopers at the same time as this. um And I bet you can guess which one he was paying more attention to. Yeah. But it's Phil Tippett, who is he did the computer graphics for this, but he designed the Shriekers. OK. Phil Tippett is a special effects legend. He worked on u now Here's why I told you, Jack, you'd be you would be like, oh, okay. He worked on A New Hope. Oh, okay. Empire Strikes Back. Temple of Doom. Nice. Piranha, Howard the Duck, Golden Child, Willow, all three Robocops, Jurassic Park. I mean, he's got some chops. And he actually finally directed his own movie. You could have stopped at New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, but you just kept piling on onto this fucking delicious sandwich. And then you said some bullshit.
00:20:24
Speaker
Well, he also finally directed his own movie a couple of years ago. Well, it took him like 20 years to make it. It's I it's a great. It's awesome to watch. The story is whatever. But it's all like stop motion special effects type stuff. It came out, I think in 2020, maybe 2021 called Mad God. Highly recommend. OK, it's insane to watch. He hasn't made me watch it yet. So I watched it by myself. I knew she'd be like, OK.
00:20:48
Speaker
Well, she also watches most of the movies unless we're doing it for the podcast on while she's on her phone. Yeah. And it's not a lot of talking. It's all visuals. So she loves you. She wants to be around you today. I come home and I'm like, what the fuck are you watching? He's like, honestly, I have no idea. You walked in the house and it completely changed. You got these people in white face that are living underground and like literally they have a circle paint like a black circle around their face. Yeah. and Yeah.
00:21:14
Speaker
And then red lips and mascara. And I'm like, what the fuck is happening here? And they're watching Don Johnson. Yeah. Weird. and Yeah. A young John Johnson, like. Oh, you said Don Johnson. I heard Don Knotts. Oh, that is a weapon. No, I was watching a movie called A Boy and His Dog. From 1974? Yeah, which is Don Johnson and a dog who's telepathic.
00:21:37
Speaker
And they're running around. his I was not expecting they're running around the post apocalypse. And I'm watching this movie ah up until she comes home. It's Don Johnson and this dog walking around in the desert. I know the movie you speak of. Yeah.
00:21:51
Speaker
And then all of a sudden, as soon as she gets home, he's in this underground thing. And these people in clown paint are fucking watching him. And she's like, what the fuck? And I was like, dude, I. This rug. This is a joke for me. I've been watching. I don't know what's going on. I was like, you really watch weird shit, babe? And the guy who. You should have looked in your eyes and said, mind your own business. and The guy who did the practical effects for this. I mean, there's obviously teams in charge.
00:22:21
Speaker
It was a guy named Peter Chesney, who also did the effects for Kenny Chesney. Kenny Chesney's daddy? I don't think so. But he did the effects for ah Jack's favorite, Waterworld. He also did effects for a bunch of Coen brothers movies, like the Big Lebowski and a couple others. um Bill and Ted, he was a special effects assistant on previous episode, Cherry 2000.
00:22:45
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean, i still haven't rewatched yeah like it's it's coming up so much. You got to rewatch and he did Inspector Gadget. So this dized segue this movie starts in Mexico at the Petro Maya oil field. You see feet hanging down and like. oh ah ah ah who I thought it was auto erotic, asphyxiating, dude. But no, it's this oil field worker, this oil field worker trying to escape a graboid by like sliding himself along the top of these oil pipes. And I'm like, you could probably do that better.
00:23:22
Speaker
Yeah. Well, but you don't know is he's been day drinking and he doesn't have the balance and he doesn't know how to not be loud. Well, but again, we know something is chasing me. I'm going to be quiet if they can't see me. Not if you don't know what it is. Doesn't matter. I'm going to be quiet as fuck. Well, we find out that Halloween. I've been chased. I'm going to terrify the shit out of you and you're going to get punched. I will see you far enough. Yeah. So I know you reach. I got you down, dude. You're so fucked. So we find out those things. Glass knives.
00:23:55
Speaker
Look, people with glass knives shouldn't throw houses or something. You know the old saying. So we find out that these things have killed six people in these oil fields so far. So I feel like this guy knows like that they're detecting sound and vibrations, but he's also just panicking and whatever. But it leads to a really cool part. And you can see it coming a mile away because he gets to the end of the pipe. He's to run across top of these barrels. And I'm like, oh, a bunch of barrels while this thing is burrowing. I wonder what's about to happen. Yeah, we set this up for an effect and it's a good effect. Yeah, it is it's all practical. It works. nice yep Yeah. Yeah. That guy gets ah fully consumed. I think that's this the one that we see. He's resting inside of like they put his whole body inside of like a graboid suit. and yeah So just his face is sticking out. It's kind of fantastic. The one thing they didn't do with these graboids is use the three tongues.
00:24:46
Speaker
Not nearly as much. i We weren't at all at all. No, they didn't use them at all. We don't see a lot of the grab boys. We see this one a couple later, but then the rest, I think we see a big bout of booms. Yeah. But they just they like pock their head up, not just a little. memory Yeah. Yeah. But we just see them. We see them popping up and just grabbing stuff and pulling it down. So these are just the dumber one.
00:25:06
Speaker
Well, yeah, they did they they didn't hang out with they were at for nevada they these guys ain't talking These guys did they say what part of Mexico because this has got a real deep deep they do but I feel like someone said Yucatan and it is a lush. joe It is beautiful. Yeah, it it looks nice it Looks sweaty. There's so much green. Oh, yeah ah Meanwhile, back in the United States, we have Fred Ward playing Earl Bassett. Welcome back. Welcome back, because he was, like I said, previous episode, Remo Williams and previous Patreon episode, Tremors. And hopefully future episodes. yeah You know, we're going to see more of him. Oh, yeah. At least Southern Comfort when we do that. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. I've only seen part of it. I'll drink some SoCo with you. Oh, we have to drink SoCo with that. No, I drink SoCo once in my life and that was enough. I'll make you a bourbon Rita.
00:25:56
Speaker
Also, you know how much sugar is in SoCo? That's true. It's going to kill him. Let's do it. So we're doing it, right? Are you prepared to have me in your house? Are you prepared to take care of me? My daughter's leaving. me All right, I'm back in.
00:26:13
Speaker
Hey, guys, after this episode, I really kind of want to go out and get a beer. What are you thinking? I mean, OK, look, the thing is, I deal with beer so much in my life, I want something else. i'm I'm fine with beer, but I want like a stiff cocktail or a nice glass of whiskey. You know, the music box is just down the way and you can get an awesome cocktail when they even have like tombstone and other great beers on tap.
00:26:34
Speaker
The Music Box, where would I find that? Oh, you mean the Music Box at 6951 East 22nd Street in yeah Tucson, Arizona. Right down there at 22nd and Cove. Yeah, they've got a great selection of whiskey, gin, tequila, mezcal, other spirits. Ooh, sometimes they have, like, putting shots and jello shots. You're putting me on. And depending on the night of the week, we can get karaoke, live music. It's great. Ooh, Unhappy Hour. on Oh, it's Wednesday. It's Unhappy Hour. Yeah. I'm in. You guys are shelling me. Let's go to the Music Box Lounge right now. Let's go.
00:27:06
Speaker
So he's wrangling ostriches, which is apparently what he decided to do with his money from being semi-famous from the first movie. Yeah. I mean, we we find out didn't make much money. No, because he can't get him to fuck. Well, know but even besides that, he should have gotten lawyers. Like he didn't franchise any of this shit. Yeah. He's not making money on any of the grab boys there. He should have listened to Walter before he died.
00:27:27
Speaker
But I mean, how much can you even like copyright a living animal? Well, he's dead now. So like he could you you could copyright your own story and like movies and shows about your story. Well, but video game, he should definitely be getting royalties off of that. Why? Well, we don't know how the game is played. But I think you think Darwin would get royalties if somebody made a dodo bird. No, but if something happened to you and they make a movie out of it and then they make a video game out of it. But they're not making it about him. They're just making it about an animal that is discovered.
00:27:57
Speaker
it's ah It's a it's a it's a creation of gall. If you would have gotten a better lawyer, he probably could have gotten away with like I discovered this thing. so Yeah. And you could definitely copyright the name. Yeah, that's that's for sure. You could have copyright the name. Yeah, because the guy who came up with the name is dead. So yeah so it was me. Mm hmm. Say it was you. Well, while he's out there wrangling ostriches.
00:28:17
Speaker
A taxi pulls up and we meet Grady Hoover. I wish we didn't. Who's played by Chris Garten. He is a poor man's Ethan Embry at best. He was in two episodes of Melrose Place as a rapper. He was creeping around Heather Locklear's events and watching her change. And so I think he was just doing that on set. but like Yeah, I had that thought.
00:28:37
Speaker
ah while we were watching it. like though They just found this guy and were like, we you want to be in the show? Well, I mean, we might as well just write that into the script. He's already doing it. We can't get him to stop. Yeah. And then he's he's like a character actor and some other stuff, but he's not in much because no one cares. like i mean trash I made the comment. I was like, he looks like he has a hidden agenda. And that just is I think it's due to that's just as horror it's poor acting. Well, it's it's like if you face it's like if you accidentally watched Ethan Embry with Bleach And what he's so fucking what I say sober him up Cameron yeah kirk kamany and her yeah He is so bland any he jesus ies It makes me wish it was fucking Dane Cook and I've never said that i feel like dan cook Would have done a better Grady probably
00:29:24
Speaker
I mean, this this character is reimagined and done way better in National Treasure with Nick Cage. Is he in that? No, he's not. it But this exact character is ah a better, a better version of this. Oh, you know, I know who you're talking about. He's got like the bucket hat and the shades and the fingerless, fingerless gloves. You know who's made bucket hats look cool ever? Jameriquai. Cyprus Hill.
00:29:45
Speaker
That is it. Unless you are so fucking sconed. Hello, Cool J. No. His is a different bucket hat. His androver clients are domed over like kangles and they're soft. these These are fucking grandpa fisherman hats. ah Which, Cypress Hill is the only- Okay, well then, ah I'll have to say Walter Mathau. Oh, you know that hip-ass Walter Mathau.
00:30:11
Speaker
Me and my friend Jack Lemma. I always say the new Rembrandt's, but it's the new radical, the radical, the radical. Just the radical. Did make it look cool. Just because he wore it doesn't mean it was cool. Any raver I went to. I could put one on right now. You're like, that's not cool. Yeah, but I'm wearing it. It's not cool. And he's he's a cab driver who gives a ride here to Senor Ortega was played by a guy named Marcello Tubert or Tubert.
00:30:35
Speaker
Tuber? Tubert? Tuber? Tuber? Me, Tuber? I don't know. Whitney might know this guy. I don't know. He was in Jane the Virgin for a bit. She watched that. Oh, he was in an episode of Renegade. Oh, I can't wait. The year 1993, so early Renegade. Oh, so I probably have seen him. The episode was called The Hot Tip.
00:30:54
Speaker
Huh. And he played Turner. I wonder if we see his penis. Probably not a hot tip is Lorenzo. He's also in Leprechaun three. He did a bunch of voice acting. Oh, don't go too far. He did a bunch of voice acting. He's in Starfield in New Vegas and some other stuff. So I don't know. I don't know. Who knows? Fuck this guy because he's basically out of this movie. He's there to basically come in and explain. They close the oil field because people died. He wants to hire Fred Ward.
00:31:21
Speaker
for $50,000 a pop to come and hunt these grab boys. Yeah, six people died. And later on, we find that there were. How many 12 total, 12 or 13 got killed, and then they said they had eight more. OK, so there's 20 total because there was eight left when they start mutating. So, OK, so 20. Yeah, OK.
00:31:40
Speaker
I do like when we go into his trailer. We talked a little bit about it, but I see the grab. I want this trailer. He's got a graboid arcade cabinet. He's got the magazines hanging on the wall. They talk to talk about the end of the first one. This motherfucker is living so large on this ostrich farm. He has wallpaper on his refrigerator. Yeah, he does blend into the trailer. There's only two ostriches. It's an ostrich farm. It's not working yet. He's trying to get there. Yeah, he did have a basket of like like 10. No, probably like six empty ostrich eggs. You're saying all those potato fields in Ireland weren't farms anymore when it's only two potatoes. It's not a fucking farm. The potato famine is nothing more than British genocide masquerading as a failure of a plant.
00:32:21
Speaker
Yeah. right All Oh, I don't know history. I just said, all right. So you want to get me going? No. OK, good. That's for our other podcast, Bad History, Worst People. I could definitely tell you bad history. I already did that show. It's called Drunk History. I want to be on there. I could talk for a while about the potato famine. ah Grady does mention that they did a Reebok commercial, which is so very cool. Reebok, bro. Do you have like the thing you can push and it like tightens up around there? It's like a basketball. The grand ones are coming. shift Switch. Run. Not yet. ah Now I can jump on all those. Oh, they got me. Bro, tell my wife I loved her. Cester. Cool. Ouch. But yeah, there's a cover of People Magazine with ah Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward on it. yeah There's a cover of World Geographic. Not national? No. Not national. World. It's bigger than national. It's bigger than national. It's true.
00:33:17
Speaker
a couple others. He's also got a universal geographic one from Galactic Geographic. He's also got a poster of ah Miss October 1974. Hang on. It was a calendar. Yeah. To remind himself of what he or not to chase things he can't have. It's a little worn like you've had to wipe this thing down before.
00:33:36
Speaker
Well, it's It's 22 years old. Yeah. Reprint this thing in the last 74. The way he's going at it. He's been keeping it up the whole time. Hey, look, ah this is how you're supposed to do it, except you do it inside of her instead of your hand. Watch me for now. I love that like this Grady kid is like, oh, well, I'm going with you. And he's like, no, you are. I don't think so. I just you know what you actually.
00:33:57
Speaker
Come along because you're going to be real handy when they're eating you and I can run away. Yeah. I had said you'll be the bait. And then he said that his is a little bit better. I like yours. His is better. That's that's Fred Ward. He just went upset.
00:34:10
Speaker
The script was written the way you said it, and Fred Ward's like, I got a better one. yeah And they do find out like if they have get one alive, they get double the money. I'm like, $100,000 to catch a graboid. Even in 1994, right? 94 was when it was shot. OK, even in 1994, money? Dude, the way that the way what you would logistically have to do to catch one of these things alive, you're going to spend well over $100,000 in equipment.
00:34:35
Speaker
Well, they get their equipment for free. True. But, OK, but like, how are you going to fucking do this? The Mexican army supplies them with their equipment, which we didn't mention. OK, I have an idea. You throw an explosion to shock them off a cliff. All trimmers won. Yeah. But you put a trampoline at the bottom and a big cage on the other side. And once it goes to the bottom, can you fly, sucker? but Can you bounce, sucker? Into a cage on a grand easy.
00:35:04
Speaker
Physics, bitch. Ooh, high five. Let's myth busters this and see if it works. You find me a grab boy and I'll build you a trampopoline. If you build it, they will come. I'll just get you a 20 foot long bag of rubber that we fill with goop. Oh, what's she doing later?
00:35:21
Speaker
And we also meet Kate Riley, who's played by Helen Shaver. Shaver, I hardly know her who was in. She was in the Amityville horror, but she wasn't the main person because that was a Margo Kidder. Yeah, it was. It was the something lowest. Yeah. Margo Kidder. And then she's also in Best Defense, which we've talked about. Yeah, I looked through some of her stuff. Oh, that's fucking Dudley Moore and and Eddie Murphy. Yeah. Tank movie. Yeah. we Let me let that set in real quick. A tank movie.
00:35:49
Speaker
with Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy. And we talked, you and I talked to ah one of our patrons, Tanker Tom, about that movie. Yeah. Yeah. And she has questions for him about that. She also did the voice of Little Foot's mother in Land Before Time. Oh, that's a little sad. I do love though when she's meeting them and she's talking to Grady and she's like, oh yeah, or no, no, it's Julio. This guy, Julio, who works with him, he's like,
00:36:12
Speaker
Oh, I've seen you before in magazines. Grady's like, I'm ah I'm not the original guy. I love it. I look nothing like this movie. This movie does. Well, Julio's just like yeah two white guys. I love that this movie does the way they do the callbacks to the first one. Yeah. And the way they explain the missing people, they always have something instead of just being like, they're not here. We couldn't get married a good person. Yeah. Fred Ward mentions that he's happily married. Why would he want to go out and die? So he's with
Hunting graboids and ancient origins
00:36:40
Speaker
the geologist. Yeah. Sorry. Seismologist. that order Because size matters. Oh yeah. Kevin Bacon it does.
00:36:47
Speaker
So they they end up putting in a radio seismograph. Sorry. Seismo jigger. ah Seismo jigger for sure. That's how it should be referred to. Yep. They put it in the truck so they can hunt these things down. So they go out hunting. Oh, the truck is back, by the way. Oh, it's the same truck from the same truck. And she's gorgeous as ever. Dude, and Grady rops that thing and it's still together. Oh, yeah. I mean, it snaps. a ah You got something broken there like a fucking CV joint or something, but you could limp that thing back to town. Oh, that thing is like. we'll drive And you're fine.
00:37:16
Speaker
At things at a 90 degree angle. Still looking beautiful though. Tail side on some rocks. It was pretty trash. I guess it was just the tires in the first one, right? Yeah, I ate the radials. ah But so they're going out hunting. This motherfucker. They're going out hunting and they have a secret weapon, which is remote control trucks with dynamite strapped to them, which is, I don't know, doesn't seem like there would be enough noise or vibration to attract these things. does It doesn't. Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, I guess if there's nothing else in the field. My thing is what none of them started learning. They killed 12 of them this exact way.
00:37:50
Speaker
Well, they did it all in one day. They didn't have time to learn. I guess tremors is all in one day. I don't know. These things should be smart. These things, they're smarter. They're spread apart more. They didn't have time to communicate. They're not talking. Yeah. You know, I can explain it. The force. The force. The tremors, dude.
00:38:08
Speaker
But yeah, I love when they're blowing these things up because it's like when they set these explosions underground for the movie, like this special effects people, they put so much goo in there, too. So when it explodes, there's just goop spraying in the air. It's a goop. It's a goopy, gloppy cannon. This first one that explodes like there's two umbrellas there and you don't really understand why. And he sets the he sends a little RC car going and then he like sets the thing and then grabs the umbrella, he being Fred Gerst. Fred Gerst. It's just one of those days when you're going to blow shit up. Trevor's fucking suck. Fred, Fred Ward. My apologies, sir um Fred Ward just like grabs his pink umbrella and sits there with his legs crossed and he's like, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, and Grady's like, oh, my God, this is
00:38:57
Speaker
But then he popped his. No, he doesn't pop his. He does, but too late. Yeah. But he gets rained on. Yes. And then he goes... He gets goo cocky. I forgot. He says, I forgot like four times in this movie. Because he's an idiot. He's supposed to be your lovable idiot. Yeah, if you didn't get it, he's a fucking dummy. He's supposed to be a lovable idiot, but only one of those two words applies. Uh-huh.
00:39:21
Speaker
This is just a character. And like you said, they redo it in National Treasure. It's in this character is in so many 90s movies. You have like a tough guy and you have a doofus. He almost looks like the guy from National Treasure. too Yeah. Riley Poole is the character name. It's almost done in Deadpool with Dopender.
00:39:38
Speaker
Yeah. Like the taxi driver. Same thing. Exactly. He's not that's necessarily an idiot. He's naive. No, I love him. But we love that guy. That's done well. That's an example of doing it well. This is a perfect example of bad casting or or direct. I can't say directing. It could be the script. Well, you can. It's a different director than the last one. he like Yeah. ah Fred Ward is doing great.
00:39:59
Speaker
Well, Fred Ward is a fucking he doesn't need a legend. Fred Ward already worked for great directors. He's like, I got this. He knows this role. This is him. Yeah. So stand here, my denim jeans and pretend like I'm a cowboy. I got it. You got it. You're going to make me shave, aren't you? Obviously, there's a murder montage to kill a bunch of these things goo everywhere. I said on Patreon how that like Tremors is the best movie with without a montage. And then this is has this has a montage. Yeah. You undid everything.
00:40:26
Speaker
but It worked for this one. It does work. I do like this montage because it's all blowing up. Yeah, you needed like better music because this has that. It's like um I looked up the guy, Jay Ferguson. It's it's like he's doing Mexican mariachi sounds on a fucking keyboard, like on a MIDI. Yeah. Well, and it's not authentic. The song, the the titular like the theme song of the movie that go that they use over and over is like.
00:40:51
Speaker
kind of like tough boy cowboy like rough them up music and then it but it transitions into that mariachi thing and transitions back like it goes back and forth through the two and it's the same song yeah and it's like i mean even the tough guy i think it's cheap but it's a four million dollar movie that was directed video so Yeah, I'm nitpicking. um Could you imagine releasing a four million dollar movie in theaters, though? They would have easily made their money back. Oh, yeah. Idiots. I mean, I'm sure they did on video. but So another callback that they did, born alone which is not a it's not a super callback, but remember when they could hear the radio and in the first one, they could hear the radio underground. Yeah. This was their quote unquote callback is
00:41:29
Speaker
One of the graboids grabs their truck. Well, he takes he takes the radio while they don't take a break. They're having that. You left the radio on the ground. Yeah. Because they're chilling on top of some rocks, having some coffee or whatever they're doing. oh And like the music disappears and they go over and he's like, you left it on the ground because you could hear the graboid going away because it's like.
00:41:49
Speaker
In his catchphrase, I forgot. Yeah. Exactly. It's also a bit of a callback to i mean we not we're setting up a rival. Last one we had Stumpy. Yeah. Yeah. Now we've got Travis Trit. and This one's like a country mariachi version of Jaws though. Like he comes at him and it's like.
00:42:08
Speaker
and
00:42:11
Speaker
and But it was traffic it was a country station that they were playing it wasn't even I'll use Travis trip because you guys had subtitles on and it's it's when Don't we have subtitles on because your mama is well, no, I'm just saying that's the only way I knew I'm not recognizing a Travis trip There's also when it comes back later. It's playing mariachi music. It is. Yeah, so it's just like it's this There's a country station in Mexico that's also playing like Norteños. There is no fucking self-respecting Caballero in Mexico listening to Travis Tritt. You're not wrong. Well, there's no self-respecting human that still listens to the radio, so I mean... Um, fuck you. No, I'm on his side.
00:42:49
Speaker
I listen to the here to the beer house. It's not a fucking YouTube video about Nazis. It's I'm driving, so I'm not watching anything. Yeah, you listen to YouTube as well. You don't have a fucking World War II playlist.
00:43:05
Speaker
No, I don't. I'll send you one, please. There is another little bit here because like it goes from break time to sleep time and there's they're laying out there going to sleep and there's a coyote howling. And this is obviously all ADR and it was probably an idea later. Is that a coyote howling? Yeah. He better be quiet. Yeah. you see I don't know why I sound like a cat, but you know. Oh.
00:43:28
Speaker
But it like... ah and like See? yeah i I got a genuine laugh out of me. It did. did I laughed a lot at this movie. or More than... Not a lot. More than I thought I would. well This was one for sure. And the rest I think comes from Michael Gross.
00:43:43
Speaker
Yeah, he slays me. Well, in the first half of the movie is it's not even like your sci-fi horror that Tremors is supposed to be look because it's like sci-fi horror comedy, right? No, no, I get what you're trying to say. It's it's something else because this is all happy. Yeah, we have an idea half is just comedy. We haven't had any friction. Yeah. No, not until he gets pulled by the chain.
00:44:04
Speaker
Yeah, which we didn't mention that that that's coming up right here because we Grady had put a chain with a bunch of cans and shit on it to drag behind the truck to make their grab the radio. He grabbed part of the chain. you Well, not yet. That's he had the radio went away. That's during the day.
00:44:21
Speaker
He had the radio went away. Oh. And then they heard the radio coming back. They're like, oh, shit. That's when Grady was standing on the ground and almost got eaten. Yeah. He's like, get the fuck off the yeah break. He says that all the time, dude, like, get the fuck off the grass. Yes, we rule a grab boy. It's because they got this seismology jigger that they think they're immortal now.
00:44:39
Speaker
And yeah, so this one tries to eat Grady, takes the chain and instead starts pulling the truck around. And like, for some reason, neither one of these guys tries to disconnect the chain from the truck. You've got to shoot this fucking chain. i mean yeah Grady tries, but he's an idiot. so No, I think he's shooting at the fucking grab away because he's an idiot. Oh, you can't get penetration with the elephant gun.
00:45:01
Speaker
You know, dirt is the best thing to stop a bullet. Yeah, that and these fucking guys, these tremor grab boy guys. It pulls them up on this truck and they get surrounded. Oh, rock. The rock. Sorry, it pulls the truck up on a rock. Yeah. And then they look at the seismojigger and they're getting surrounded and Fred Ward's like, we're going to have to call in some backup.
00:45:22
Speaker
And that backup is a depressed Bert Gummer. Did you say depressed? This guy is living my life. He's in a room filled with guns. In his undies. In his undies. Thank you. In a recliner. Eaten celerie. Eaten celerie. Dipped in peanut butter. He's got MREs. He's got some chips, some empty Coke cans at World War II movies.
00:45:41
Speaker
or documentaries. even documentary He's depressed because he you can tell because it's a 90s movie and he's got stubble. Hold on. Am I depressed? We're 80s kids, honey. We just rub dirt on it and walk away. I went well past stubble, my friend. I just eat dirt like it's the inside wounds. I can't be depressed. Otherwise, my dad's going to give me something to cry about. OK, so he's in his bunker back in Nevada. You see like the wall patched up.
00:46:04
Speaker
and like some frames put on it. Oh, yeah. And then it's like he's sitting there and you see and it's not an elk. It's the one. It's a gazelle. He's got a ram, a gazelle. Definitely antelope. It's got an antelope. The ones with the really long pointy ones. Gazelle and antelope have a very similar look. And then it pans out and you have this giant graboid. And you fucking better believe that I would have that stuff. I know this character would. I was 1000%. It came into your house. You broke into the wrong rec room. It's one of the two that's missing a tentacle because in the first one we had Stumpy, who had the tentacle ripped off. And then this one had the three. No, this one had the three.
00:46:43
Speaker
Yeah, they had four. The one that Burton Heather shot, it had one missing. Yeah. It had one missing because it grabbed Burt and she shot it with the 12 inch. The one that they shot had one missing. And I read in the IMD trivia and it's a stupid point of contention. They're like, people ah often think it's the one that they shot, but it's actually stumpy. And I'm like, who no could possibly know it's not. Maybe they know which tentacle was missing and I'm not paying that close attention. It can't be something. It's got to be the one that they got. Stumpy got blowed up at the very wait. No, Stumpy's the one that went off a cliff. Yeah. So he can still salvage the head. We saw that thing hit the ground. No, that face got smashed. It'd be I don't know. It doesn't matter. Really. But it was a stupid IMDb trivia thing. I was like, who? Yeah. And we're argue about it more than we should. It doesn't matter. But so Fred is calling Burt Gummer and he's like, hey, so how are you and Heather doing? She's still at her sister's house. She fell off a cliff, died on impact. Thanks for asking. We do get a little bit more about the Tremors origin, because, Jack, you were asking on the last one. Yeah, I'm glad we got a little bit here. Well, we know they're not from outer space. Maybe. No, we we because because Kate finds a ah fossil that's in Precambrian rock, yeah which everybody just stares at her like, what does that mean? It's super Precambrian. Wait, but what's that word you're saying?
00:47:57
Speaker
Pre-Cambrian. OK, I hear what you're saying, but like what what is the definition of it? ah Before Cambrian. Like um it's before dinosaurs. Can you use pre-Cambrian in a sense? An easier way to say it would be that this fossil is from the pre-Cambrian era. I'd be so frustrated with this joke, dude. Like so shut up. Stop saying pre-Cambrian. Say anything else. Exactly right.
00:48:20
Speaker
Say pre-cam pre-cambry it again. Pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre Gotta go fucking watch my make your own religion and get 50 million from each person religion, but-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre- it's gonna be good We all have like leave me alone. I'm in it the church of go fuck yourself I think we all have like little sperm ghosts from space inside of us and Xenu wants to kill them or something That's the Scientology stuff is that why you can't make a noise when you're giving birth
00:49:08
Speaker

Did you not do the best? No, no, no man of woman born. Can I kill McBeth? And it's like and he gets every man is born killed by somebody who was ripped. Ripped from the loins of my mother. That was in my drug days. High school. I highly recommend watching the Joel Cohen tragedy of McBeth. It was really good. All right. If you can get like if you can get on board with Shakespearean. Denzel Washington. I think I can.
00:50:00
Speaker
Denzel and Frances McDormand and a bunch of Denzel is in much ado about nothing playing Keanu Reeves brother. They did blind casting. It just like you as the audience have no problem with a Caucasian African American brothers. That's actually kind of Kenneth. What's his name? Brana? Yes. Yeah. Kenneth Brana. I was ah ah sorry. I hesitated because I was trying to remember. That's the guy that Oh, what the fuck's his name? The guy that did Buffy and the first Avengers and Joss Whedon. Joss Whedon. That was his movie. I never watched it because of that. Oh, OK. One of my I know you guys are going to hate that I'm saying this, but one my favorite Kevin Spacey movies is um American Beauty. No, fuck God. It's a midnight summer's dream.
00:50:45
Speaker
Midsummer Night's Dream. Thank you. It definitely should be seven. It's one of my favorites. I don't know why. Should be seven. Absolutely. Seven is definitely up there. It's probably number one, honestly. But so Bert arrives sorry in Mexico yeah with a truck of doom. Apparently. Got me hard. This truck is amazing. You military boy. What's he got here? Oh, I'm not military boy, but he's got a deuce and a half here. He's got a two and a half ton truck with just I mean, he's got C4 that we can that we can see barrels of something that say explosive. Yeah. high he He starts going off. He's like high explosive fucking idiot boys. Like, is there anything low explosive? Yeah. The stupid shit you brought, you had a fucking blank check from the Mexico Army and you brought dynamite one box at dynamite. And I love Kate looks at the truck and she's like, isn't it a bit much? And they all just kind of stop and stare at her. It's like, oh,
00:51:38
Speaker
Blink, blink, blink. He also does something any American would do. and What's this? And he covers it with his jacket. He's like, that might go into my personal collection. He knows some kind of missile. Yeah, I can't get this, but I can bring it home. Also, I think that's mugglet runup is why he's more sad at the end of the movie. That's it. Well, also, I think he's he I don't think he's that sad. He got to see it all. he did You know, explosions exist for one reason to explode. Let him live.
00:52:04
Speaker
Let them live. Yes, let them die the way they need to die. Let them die the way they should. He's off doing the Fred Ward trick, except for he's got a remote control tank because Burt Gummer. Why wouldn't you? And this exposure is huge. Oh, he's podcasting too. Yeah. He's live streaming. I don't think he's live. I think he's recording. No, he's just recording it. But in this day and age, this would be like if we remade this. Thousand percent. He's live streaming and he'd probably get killed on stream. Like I just smoked me a bunch of those graboids and now I'm going to live.
00:52:36
Speaker
don't forget to check out ah big fig mattress i'm dying check out my page ro until three bucks a month let's go to patreon dot com backla first people go to patreons dot com slash blow em up no worse' people and i probably might be a real one yeah definitely is about blow up doll
00:52:57
Speaker
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, might be excessive because this explosion could take it to a city block. um Even on a practical, like not the movie, it shook the dust off of the fucking truck. Yeah. yeah it's like your wife That might've been just like a production note. Hey, for our next one, it's too much. For him being, I mean, I'm sure he was very gung-ho and he was like, you know, grab boys, they don't penetrate. very Grab boys penetrate plenty girl. You can't penetrate a grab boy very well. Not even with an elephant gun? Not even with an elephant gun. Yeah. Elephant guns are great against grab boys if they're in the mouth. In the mouth. The ones that bullets worked on were always in the mouth. Yeah. The bombs worked in the mouth. Yeah. You got to go in the mouth. So. I've been saying it for years. All right. In the mouth. You have to explode in the mouth. Which one do you like better? In the mouth?
00:53:51
Speaker
or not in the mouth. Well, vaginas don't suck. They both work. Do vagina suck, baby? Depends on the person. Does my vagina suck? Don't answer that. So, yeah, there' ah Fred Ward and fucking Nameless are tracking another one that's Fred Ward and I forgot.
Speculations on graboid evolution and goo budget humor
00:54:14
Speaker
I forgot. Yeah. And it's it's a big one, but it's moving away from them and they're trying to figure out why they find it. It's sick or it looks sick.
00:54:22
Speaker
It's like the triceratops from Jurassic Park. So they they see it, and they're like, oh shit, it's right there. So they reversed. That's when they get the truck actually stuck and all fucked up. yeah And then they're like, wait a minute. It should be on top of us. yeah Like, it should be killing us. but And that's when they start walking up, and it is triceratops. So you do never see the graboid come out of and then jump down, like the sandworm from Beetlejuice. No. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Oh, he's here. Come for your daughter, Chuck. Oh, she's not here. Sorry, baby.
00:54:50
Speaker
We shop at the same store. Look at that. But when they go to Zagnet, yeah, they're they're sitting there listening to it and stuff. Grady is like, oh, don't you feel bad for it? Yes, I kind of know. No, fuck no. The empath is me is hearing. I get it. I get what you say. It's making sad sickness. But also you is going to get you killed. Exactly. You've seen this thing. Fred Ward watch this thing eat.
00:55:15
Speaker
like seven of the 12 people that lived in the town he was in. He sucked up a fucking chamolester through a fucking tire, which is fine. But like, OK, let me better. He ate it from Walter. He gave him cheese and bullets. I know. Right. Gifted my fucking family. You're right. You're right. I get it. And if I think it was regular cheese and then he just shot it and made cheese.
00:55:35
Speaker
Also, the bullets are dirty. don't Don't I reused them. i read I didn't have that little, you know, repacker thing that you had. I do. cheese bowl If I was in that situation, if I was in that situation, I probably would not be. But as I'm watching a movie, I'm like, the animals cry. Oh, oh, cheese bullets, though. I want some power.
00:55:54
Speaker
Palma, Palma is on fully, fully gudamatic. I'm sorry, fully blendamatic, fully gudamatic, gudamatic. I don't know enough about guns to get it on this, but they go over to check it out and the side of this thing is burst open and there's goop everywhere. I thought they smelled bad.
00:56:17
Speaker
On the outside. Dude, the goop budget on this movie was probably solid. Half of the movie, like two million dollars went to goo so much. And I am so thankful for it. That's another star for me. Good budgeting. But they figure out that something came out of it because the first grade, he thinks something ate it, but he's an idiot. He's like two minutes of Fred. Fred is like two minutes. There's no fucking way. Two minutes. Well, and Fred Ward's trying to think of the word like metamorphosis. He's like, it did that thing where animal change. The caterpillar goes in, and I guarantee you, ain't some sweet little butterfly that comes out. Promise of shooting. I only saw two sacks in this one, by the way, but Grady says three. Yeah, I thought I saw two, but the movie's plot revolves around each one having three, which you wouldn't know that, by the way.
00:57:00
Speaker
Just because one has three doesn't mean they all have three. Precisely. Some birds lay a couple eggs, some lay a bunch, or like turtles. Or one. There's never a specific number, like every turtle lays 72 eggs. No, sometimes it's probably 60. Sometimes it's probably four. I don't know turtles very well. I have treaded into some dangerous territory. They're not wrong. They do lay a lot. But like some dogs have like one, maybe two. Did you just call those turtles hookers?
00:57:24
Speaker
ah Those tri turtles are whores. They lay a lot. yeah But like you don't have a lot of babies with dogs and cats. Like some is like one or two. Some is three to ten. Yeah, exactly. But and also imagine imagine basing your science off watching one cat give birth to like two kittens. Like, all right, they only ever have two. Then all of a sudden it's like, wait, that one just had eight. We're so fucked. Yeah, we did the math that they all have three. It turns out it doesn't matter because they're born and they grow up real fast. And if they eat anything. They vomit another child. Her mafradites. Nope, that's not the word you were looking for. And it's not. It's asexual. It's asexual. I guess you'd have to be a mafraditic. Jurassic Park taught me anything. But still, yeah, it's... It's dino DNA.
Heat sensitivity and horror elements
00:58:09
Speaker
I like that it's fucking Michael Gross who figures out that they're heat sensitive.
00:58:14
Speaker
Yeah, because he's doing the experiments of like the broom. It's it's fun to see him being the one because she's the sciences doc. She's the genealogy, not a genealogy. You could easily just given her this like I'm the smart one. Yeah, I'm the doctor. I so I smart you stupid. OK. But it's like, no no, no, he understands predators. Yeah. Well, like when this happens, this is kind of where the movie switches finally to being a horror movie.
00:58:39
Speaker
because they find the tow truck coming for them. But it's got those vibes for a while. Yeah, I know they're sitting on the rocks. They find the tow truck that came for them and it's smashed to pieces. Looks like it was in Jurassic Park. ah Fucking they see I think it Pedro is the guy's name. His hands on the back of the truck and they go around and look and it's just the stumps of another Jurassic Park moment. Yeah, that is. um And even and then they go up to the radio tower and they're looking around and it's, you know, the radio thing is smashed. Hey, I told you the things were smart.
00:59:06
Speaker
Grady is like they took out. They're taking out our ah transportation, transportation. They're taking out our radios. They're to like, well, how smart are they? Get so smart. It all just comes down to what Jack said. They're heat seeking and they're like, well, that's hot. I'm going to eat it. Hell yeah. I've said those lines. So they're super smart because they're super dumb.
00:59:24
Speaker
Yeah. Mm hmm. They don't know what I mean. There's just. Oh, what is it? and Hot shit, naivety is bliss. Was it? No ignorance. Ignorance is bliss. Yeah, ignorance. Well, it has more of a horror vibe. Finally, for for a while until it got him. Oh, um so Burt is driving the truck around out in the dark. He can't get a hold of anybody because the radio tower is gone. He gets fucking velociraptor attacked by. Yeah, he does.
00:59:51
Speaker
And it does a good job. I knew he wasn't gonna die by the way, but I do a good job of like because it cuts to black when he's surrounded by a couple of them Yeah, turns out he gets surrounded by 20. Well, he could be exaggerating I don't think this guy would I think like he's he's like Gimli from Lord of the Rings just taking down 24, 25, and my nine millimeter, and my 50 now. I am out of ammo. I love that line, dude. I am never in my life. This has never happened before. I swear this never happens, ladies. I usually am packing so much ammo. But they're all back at the headquarters here. The finery. Yeah. We're going to get away in this car that they stole, but they come out in one of the shriekers, which is what they're called. I don't think they name them in this, but that's what they're called. Heat Seekers is what I hear a couple times. Okay. But I think that's a generic nickname. Sorry.
01:00:47
Speaker
I'm sorry. When Burt is talking about him, he's like, yeah, but I bagged a live one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's how he learned. Because she's like, I hope you didn't kill all of them. It's very important to science. Like, bitch, no, no, no, no. We don't need an alien situation here. Yeah, this is 1996. She should have seen Jurassic Park by now. You don't need these creatures alive. For sure. You should see opening weekend, you dumb bitch. John Williams scored it. And unbeknownst to them, there is a hidden one under the truck. Yes.
01:01:15
Speaker
But I was going to talk about just how the the engine had been eaten and destroyed. So they have no escape yeah before Burton shows up. Oh, and it doesn't matter. um But yeah, so there's one hiding in there they don't know about. They're in trying to study the other one. And this other the one that's hiding out there starts eating shit. And we am already. This is when it tastes like toilet paper. They spit out these like low budget alien egg sacks like alien as in capital A of the movie. It gives yeah it gives the sound of a dying giraffe.
01:01:45
Speaker
yeah yeah who That's disgusting dude. I was really happy to not be eating watching this. Like the gloop glob explosions are one thing. It's fantastic. Throwing up no throw up a baby egg.
01:01:59
Speaker
no i I do want to mention, I loved the line from Burt when he talks about being out of ammo. Right before that, he's like, I fought them off for the combination of small arms fire and hand to hand combat. I'm like, why did we not get to see the scene where Burt Gummer is fist fighting? Four million dollar budget. I want to watch him punch one of these robots. Four million dollar budget. I'm in. No. We already know that there's somebody in this suit. Hey, you get a hat smack. Well, some more animatronic. You get a hat smack.
01:02:26
Speaker
Yeah, when he's got it tied up and he's like, come, come the fuck out. And it does. it One laughs at his jokes later. Yeah, it does. Oh, and the the way that they're doing the heat sensing stuff we didn't mention, they have this little flap that opens on their head. It's like a trifold. It shows their brains. It's a tiny jalapasaurus. It is. I can't get off Jurassic Park. I might have to watch that. Oh, I want to show you guys. I have the picture and I'll post this on Facebook or I'll post this on our social medias. But I have the picture of the original design that they didn't end up using.
01:02:55
Speaker
Oh, that is that that's the exact Starship Troopers. Yeah, that's the exact one I thought was Starship Troopers. But the drawing at the top is the I think the one on the left is probably the one that they rejected. The one on the right looks like the one they used. Yeah, they look like little like ah it's a horror. It's a horror movie version of the candy nerds. That's it. When candy eats you. Yeah, not you candy. She will when I die. yeah Like a cat. No, she will. No, dogs don't. They just lay there and starve to death. that
Humor about weapons and romantic subplot
01:03:22
Speaker
She will. No, she will. I've already told you. No, she'll curl up next to me. No, I think your husband's right, though. She's going to eat him. You'll be fine.
01:03:31
Speaker
No, she won't eat him, because she does love him. Yeah, but she's going to love the way he tastes. She'll headbutt him and be like, where are my nubs, bitch? I'll simmer him down in 16 different herbs and spices. Where are my nubs, bitch? I need no nubs. So they're trying to get out of this place. Ooh, that's a good dish I want to make at KFC. Kentucky Fried Nugs. It's marijuana deep fried in a thick batter.
01:03:52
Speaker
I'd eat that. I would do it. It fat soluble. Yeah. Did I just invent something for THC? Oh, THC. We have 16 different types of cannabis.
01:04:07
Speaker
But they're trying to get out. They're can trying to get to this with the one truck that's left on the property. ah There's one in the way. So Burt has to snipe it with this fucking one. I don't have to. He gets to. It's a 50 cal. Well, not just ah not just it was a special made special made modeled after a World War I anti tank. Oh, that's what he's got those special shells and shit. That's when someone's like, dude, you put a new spin on the this term overkill. He's like, hey, when you need it and don't have it, you'll sing a different song. Well, because this thing he shoots the shrieker that's in their way. The bullet goes through the brick wall that's behind it through a cement mixer, through a cement mixer and then through the fucking engine of the truck through the block of the engine. Like, good God, you killed us. How was I supposed to know? Again, I did not have the full information. Yeah, I did the whole time. He's like, if I could have been briefed.
01:04:57
Speaker
because he would have brought a lot more different. And I even said that like you really don't want the guns that ah ah Fred Warden, Fred Warden, I forget, are both using like modified. It looked like 12 gauge shotguns to me, but they're modified to have like an elephant gun. Well, and either way, you're shooting two bullets at a time or two bullets and you have to reload max.
01:05:17
Speaker
When Burke says that at one point, he's like, if I would have been properly briefed, I would have brought ah something automatic, preferably belt fled. belt fled oh Excuse me, sir. Could I introduce you to tonight's special? It is a... ah God, what is he having? I need the full nine yards, bitch. I need the full nine yards. Here it is in a belt fed variety. If you don't like that, we have one here with an ammo box.
01:05:39
Speaker
I'm just thinking belt fed at like a restaurant. Just means you're just laying at the end of a conveyor belt and they're all dumplings just. um I was thinking sushi, but we're on the same train. Yeah, the fucking belt fed train. It's raining diabetics, but we're back at the end of the first movie. They're trapped on top of shit. Yep. And Fred Ward comments. He's like, dude, look, I've done this. I did not like it. But Burt is trapped inside of the bucket of this fucking Tractor or a caterpillar thing. Yeah, I do like Fred Ward's hair in this. I did not say this Oh, yeah, he's got this flowing black hair with like the streets Salt and pepper salt and pepper. Oh, he's got gorgeous locks like he's not Sam Elliott silver fox No, he's still holding on and it's not quite a mullet either. No, it's not a mullet full on a It almost looks like he just didn't cut his hair. Yeah. And I love it. I'm here for it. And I think it's amazing. You can grow it at that age. Do it. He was watching Renegade and he's like, I can do that. I can do that. I don't need a fucking wig. I could be on a bike, man. I can grow some llama's hair. I could make out with Cheyenne, man.
01:06:44
Speaker
I bet you I can hang out Bobby six killer man. I love to hang out. Fucking brands come Richmond. Love it. But basically, Kate's like, look, because they're all like, well, we're fucking stuck. Like we're on top of the storage tanks. Burt's in that bucket. What are we going to do? She's like, someone's coming for us. Like we haven't communicated with anyone in days. They'll send someone. That worked out really well last time. Yeah. Well, and I think that's why Fred Ward's like, we'll figure something out because that's not how this works. Oh, you weren't in the first one. I forgot. Well, let me catch you up. Nobody came for us. Well, they did. Then they died. yeah This is where they start to like shoehorn in this like romance thing. Cause like at the beginning, when you meet her, obviously like he's looking at her, he's checking out her ass, stuff like that. checking out is But there's no like.
01:07:28
Speaker
Flirting between them. It was dropped in the ah very beginning when he's talking about Kevin Bacon settling down He's like he did the right thing and met a good woman. I fuck I have an ostrich farm But this is where they start like flirting which is like the last 20 minutes of the movie He's like hey, ah so you see it anybody and she's like well not since the monsters arrived So so she was she was dating one of these Mexican dudes. He got eaten. Yeah, is that what she say was juo I was actually married to a guy This is a widow. This is crazy She also reveals that she was once a playmate and surprise Miss October, 1974. I have jacked off to you so many times. She even does the pose for him, the bent over thing. And he gets instantly hard. Oh man, my jeans are getting tighter all while the second. I did check back this, by the way.
01:08:17
Speaker
It is not the same person. What did I say? It was the September of 1970. Yeah. And you said that they it was because of the they had to find somebody that would have been the right age. Appropriate. They needed an age appropriate person for Earl. Yeah, I read. I read something about that in the trivia, but I didn't write it down because so.
01:08:35
Speaker
There's definitely OK, so on the Patreon episode, I mentioned how there's always someone who's the gun person that'll comment on IMDB. There's the car person. You can guarantee you there's the playmate person. Oh, yeah. They might be the weirdest out of all of them. A funny thing is if they had user names on the bottom of these, it'll be the same guy.
01:08:56
Speaker
I'm into three things specifically. Chips, guns, cars, and if I can get all three in the same picture, brother, I'm having me a good day. Something Jack and I noticed in the 70s, they really didn't know anything much about the arch. No, not at all. Like, I mean, nowadays, dude, these fucking, these girls know how to pop it.
01:09:13
Speaker
Yeah, because you want that bubble. evil Because then you didn't want big butts on white girls. That's true. do You didn't want big butts at all. Sir Mix-a-Lot changed it for everybody. The prophet, Sir Mix-a-Lot, ahead of his time. ah He liked big butts. He didn't deny it. He never lied. you know Everybody else got on board. They were like, I do like a big butt. I love that bounce. I love a juicy double.
01:09:37
Speaker
I'm an avid rewatcher of Cheers. And i I see these I see these girls that Sam is dating. I'm like, good God, it is a surfboard. Like, and that's just so and even Sam, everyone's like, ooh, tech, check out his buns. Sam has no butt. Even though looking at the front and it's like they just want the boobies, they want them fake upright even as a kid. It was like yeah the supermodels and stuff. Right. Who are the ones who went in the 90s? Like Kathy Ireland. Yeah, Cindy Crawford and stuff. And I was just like a shiver.
01:10:06
Speaker
and Yeah, I guess. Cute face. They got nothing. Super models were never as okay. I'm going to show it by myself. Tyra Banks. Porn stars were hotter. Yeah. True. Not when you got like the big windy Whopper style boobs. That's too far, guys. I know what you're thinking. But supermodels are meant to be those anorexic twigs that walk down a catwalk. Well, because you're supposed to be looking at the clothes, not the person. Well, and also be a person in the clothes. If you had a, let's say, Carmen Electra type, maybe a bad example because she has the fake boobs, but like... Yeah, but they're not outrageously fake. Here we go. Tiffany Amber Thiessen. If you had her, everyone's gonna be like, wait, what was she wearing? I didn't pay attention. I'm so sorry. I was looking at everything besides the clothes. Well, then I guess the models weren't taking off their clothes, so they have to look good with clothes on. Porn stars are taking them off. They have to look good with their clothes off. They look good with them on, too. That's a teasing moment. So the Shriekers start stacking themselves. They do this to fucking college cheerleading pyramid. Yeah, they do. All right, guys, let's hear it for the Shriekers. Give me an S. Give me an H. Wait, we can't spell, can we? That's too long. Give me a T. Give me an R. Give me an E.
01:11:13
Speaker
ah But so Burt saves them by jumping out of the bucket, distracting them, locking them into the warehouse. 185 pounds of lean meat, you know you want it. No. Which they then discover is filled with sweet treats. And MREs. Yeah, so these things are just... I think that one already ate them shits up. Yeah, that's how it is ah propagated a bit more.
Escape plan and explosive finale
01:11:32
Speaker
Okay. Because it was one.
01:11:34
Speaker
And then all of a sudden there was... does they Yeah, surrounded. Well, no, before before the sweet treats. The sweet treats is what extrapolated to 100. I want the sweet treats. 120 pounds. 120 pounds of MREs. And he's tossing these things. they're they're These things are light. What's that? He's got a lot of them.
01:11:51
Speaker
What's that? What's that? Pande leche. Is that your favorite treat? Like Mexican? The sweet breads, the bread with the stuff on top. Pande leche. Yeah, love those sweet breads. Those are. He goes he goes bananas. Yeah, I can throw up a baby if I eat a bunch of those.
01:12:07
Speaker
I shall call you Raph. But I love when he's running away and they're like, what's he doing? Fred Ward's like, Bert's always got a plan. Usually. But he locks them in there. They eat all that shit. um So Fred Ward's like, all right, I'll sneak in spray me with the fire extinguisher. So covered in CO2. I'll sneak in, get some bombs. We'll take these guys out.
01:12:31
Speaker
That's the other thing they brought back is the Rose Campbell. Oh, sorry. What does he call it? Scissor paper rock. Go fuck yourself. no Nobody has ever called it scissor paper rock. a Fred Ward called it that. So I'm inclined to believe that's the real name. It's rock paper scissor. It always has been. Fred Ward is a trendsetter. He's trying to change it up. He's trying to make fetch a thing. I know.
01:12:52
Speaker
He was trying to fucking trademark it. It's all scissor paper rock. It's a different game than you play. You play rock, paper, scissor. Well, because in his game, rock tears through paper. Always. Yeah, they've been doing it a couple of times for like, oh, who gets the last soda? Roshambo. And then now it's I forget saying, I got you into this mess. I'll go do it. Yeah, we'll fucking rock, paper, scissor for it. It's the last stand like from the first one. Yeah, it's exactly that. I'm the hero. You're a fucking doofus. You're, I don't know. You're going to fuck this up. I do. Exactly. I don't think he's trying to be the hero. He's like, no, Grady, you're not going in there because we're all going to die. Is Grady the new Melvin? Yeah, absolutely. I even thought about that for a second. I'm like, you should have just had Melvin back. He'll be back. That way, I know, but like here and then you should have killed him. So they couldn't get Kevin back, so they're like, we'll settle for a Melvin in Kevin's placements. A Melvin in Kevin book. Two birds, one stone. His reach is not a good trade. Two birds, one shaker. You ever try to kill one bird with one stone?
01:13:51
Speaker
Because what are you doing in trying to kill birds with stone dinner? That's weird. I'll get a gun. But so he's an elephant gun. He's in there and the stuff starts to melt off him so they can see him. So he's got a scramble. He grabs one of these detonators and just sets it for he says he just pushed buttons and he sets it for two minutes, 45 seconds. Yeah. How long did you set it for? I don't know. I pushed buttons because he's like, what did you grab a bomb? No, I i actually armed one.
01:14:17
Speaker
I couldn't grab anything. Did you see all those other bombs? It's laying right next to it. That's when fucking Burt's like... he has There is the slight of like, no, look on his face, but then like, oh. He's like, that's 2.5 tons of high explosives. We need to get away. And they stop at like the the next building, they duck behind it, and he's like, you're going to want to keep going. He keeps running. He's like, further. Further. On your right. It's going to be big. How big? Big. Big. So big.
01:14:47
Speaker
um to quote a movie big bada boom yeah Jack pointed out he is excited when he's like so big you won't believe it it's a good thing he got them away because this building goes up and I mean they blew the fucking shit out of this building not building the building those guys were hiding behind is also obliterated yeah it's like you're watching the test footage of fucking nuclear weapons. Yes. Because like that building doesn't have any explosives in it. It just shatters into pieces and the wood flies away. Oppenheimer's in some goggles just laughing ass off. Yeah, Killian Murphy's over there. Good. Good. And they're standing there watching the just it's just I mean, it reminds me of Uncle Duvet's cabin in Hard Target. Oh, it except for like five times bigger. Go see four mecca Jack. I'm a blow up a tremor, man. I'll tell you. Because it's just pieces of wood flying. There's not a big fireball. I cannot. It's just wood flying. yeah Yeah, it's not. It's not ah a big.
01:15:45
Speaker
Flamage, but you see you see it on the ground too. You see all the dirt and stuff. They see the concussion go out like I wanted to be one of these What do you call it? Because demolitions no not cutting to now cuz now they're getting debris falling on him I want to be one of these like set hands Oh where I am just throwing like the heads of these fucking grab boys Adam Fucking I would have hit that fucking I don't I forget I would have don't hit me but hit, I forget. Do not hit Bert. Do not hit Michael Grose, but you hit, I forget all day. I don't think we take out the playmate. And I love Bert stands up and he's like, he looks so proud. He's like, you know, some people say I'm over-prepared, paranoid, crazy even. He's like, but they never met a pre-Cambrian entity or whatever he says there. Yeah, a pre-Cambrian life form maybe. Yeah, and he's not wrong. I mean, it turns out he was not over-prepared. He saved the fucking world, guys. Yes, he did. And they walk off into the noon set. It's not sunset. It's the noon set. I love that. And it's the end of the movie. That's a recommend, babe. You got to watch this. Obviously, you need checks, caveats. For me, it's more fun when I have people that I'm here. I didn't drink, but I did have people to like be like, oh, my God, you see that? Yeah, it's just more fun when you have somebody to share it with.
01:17:03
Speaker
Yeah, I definitely recommend it. And I don't need the caveats nearly as much. But it's more fun to share. They help for sure. But this is just, ah it's fun. And I think we talked about in the Patreon, that movie could easily be bad if you don't have the people in it delivering. not Everybody on that one actually is doing, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm doing great. Ward's doing great. Gross. re Even Reba.
01:17:25
Speaker
This is missing that, and it becomes really close to being a bad movie.
Final movie recommendation
01:17:30
Speaker
Definitely. It hovers that line of like, it's definitely enjoyable. Is it bad or good? It's up to you. It's enjoyable, so recommend. Super enjoyable. Yeah, obviously I recommend it. I bought it on 4K after watching it. Of course you did. I didn't just blind by some shit. Like you have. I never sometimes do that. Such as Gorgo. Gorgo? Gorgo.
01:17:51
Speaker
Well, that was nice. That's the man who is a Mandalorian. Baby Yodel. I didn't necessarily. But either way, either way, I recommend it. I think it's fun. It is more fun to watch with friends and to joke about and have a good time. I could also watch this completely by myself. I have and I will again. Yeah.
01:18:11
Speaker
Yeah, but you've seemed you're more interactive when there's other people around because I've laid in bed. Listen to you watch movies. Well, I'm not going to sit here and talk to myself. What am I? Crazy person? Yes. OK. Well, probably you have. I listen to you edit.
