The podcast on Haunted Hill will contain spoilers and swearing.
I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil's work.
I saw this when I come.
Hello, and welcome to the podcast on Haunted Hill Episode 163.
Dan tried to move his fingers quickly.
He wasn't going to throw up 100 fingers in seconds, but I mean, he's in like 163.
Wow, imagine if I did actually 163 fingers.
What's that crazy hand thing to me?
Whoa, welcome, ladies, gentlemen, non-general people, aliens, ghouls, spacemen, space cadets, anything you'd like.
Tony Todds.
Anything, anything.
Dead people, death itself.
Welcome, welcome.
If it's your first time, welcome again.
Welcome, welcome back.
If it's not your first time, welcome friend.
This is becoming a new catchphrase for 2024 for us.
It kind of is, isn't it?
For you anyway, for fuck's sake.
I am Dan, you are Gav, we are Podcasts on Haunted Hill.
I hope everyone is happy in the world and everything is dandy for you.
And merry and gay.
Yes.
What we are doing today?
Merry and bright.
Well, I know what we are doing today and it's going to be a real fun one.
What we are doing, Dan, explain to everyone else.
Well, welcome.
Yes, we are this year, we're either doing director specials, it's our 10th year of casting, as the cool kids say.
So if we're not doing a director special or something else, we are trying to mop up some of the franchises that are outstanding.
Last year, we started a franchise, the first two entries, Final destination 1 and 2.
And this episode, we will be looking at 3, 4 and 5.
So three movies for you in this one.
At the Final destination 3 from 2006, number 4, or as it was called, the Final destination from 2009.
They tried to trick us, like they've done so many franchises in the past.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Final Nightmare.
The Final Fragments, yeah.
The Final Chapter.
And then Final destination 5 from 2011.
Is it saying final?
You're like, I'm gonna have to go and watch it because they're telling me it's the last one.
And if I miss this, it's a whole thing of my life that I've missed culturally.
You did this exact skit when we did Friday the 13th 4.
The Final Chapter followed by 5 A New Beginning.
You said, there was an old lady who was like, Harold, we've got to go and see number 4.
It's the last one.
It's saying it's the final chapter.
And then the following year, she's like, they bloody got us.
Harold, it says 5 is out in the cinema and it's the new beginning.
Booster.
I think you should go for all the sort of humorous things I've said over the years.
Put together, take back to me.
I'll be like, this guy's amazing.
I find him so funny.
It was you all along.
Oh, my gosh.
Because we're doing three films.
Yeah.
It does mean that we are not.
I'm afraid.
Sad to say.
We're not having Bill Murray here.
Oh, no.
Yes, that's.
There's no word of the change.
But that is also partly because he did call me earlier and say he's been really freaked out by all this talk of flights and, you know, death, stalking him.
And he just doesn't feel like he wants to get on an aeroplane and come over and do the intro for World of the Strange.
And I said, look, we'll let you off this this episode.
You can have a have the time off, you know, and we'll see you on the next episode.
So he's not coming over because he's a bit worried about death and he's had a vision and all that kind of stuff.
So that's fine, Bill.
Not a problem.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, we'll let him off.
How are you, Gavin?
I'm very well, actually.
Very, very, very well.
Yeah, I actually found out in February here.
No, April here near me.
They've got a horror convention on.
And I was like, what the fuck?
Just literally found this out last night.
I can't remember what it's called yet.
I'll find out later on to tell people.
A certain Bobby England might be there.
Robert England is going to be there, presumably.
But some of these events sometimes don't go ahead.
They happen, does happen quite often with horror ones.
I've noticed.
Anyway, we're hopefully going to have a stall there.
Deadbolt Films.
But yeah, that's quite cool.
But I'm fine.
Got a flat, which is quite nice because I didn't know where I was going to be living, but I figured out where I'm going to be living.
That's good.
So I will have a new podcast in Premises coming up.
So that does include everybody because the audio, the ambience won't be different.
It won't be exactly the same.
Well, I don't know.
I have no idea.
Did you manage to get the place with the glass ceiling and the stripper's pole in the corner and all that kind of stuff?
Couldn't get it.
Tried for the dungeon too.
Couldn't get that one.
So just got a regular.
That dungeon was really good as well.
I love those stains on the wall.
We just didn't know what they were.
It's getting nice.
I'm moving to a town.
I'm actually moving to the town.
After Alec Baldwin was in that movie Rust, and unfortunately the director of photography was shot and died, unfortunately.
He was in a town really just two weeks later, walking around filming himself.
I think people will remember it because they're all like, what the fuck's he doing?
He's walking around town going, I love these sort of towns.
I don't know who would live in these sorts of towns.
Well, it's going to be me.
That's committed because that's where I'm moving to.
It's actually quite close to a film studio, which made Jeepers Creepers 3, which apparently is really bad.
It's not great.
Yeah, that's like the studio very close to me, but not that means anything.
Just a studio.
Well, talking about Alec Baldwin, good segue there.
Slight tangent, but as anyone who knows us knows, we love our hip hop.
Is that Alec Baldwin's hip hop album?
Yeah, it's finally...
No, I've finished listening to the new Eminem album.
I'm saying new, it's been out about a month now, but I don't have a lot of spare time these days.
So I finished listening to it, and even Alec Baldwin gets dissed in one of the tracks.
He talks about pulling out a gun and shooting at you like Alec Baldwin.
And I just thought, whoa.
I was thinking like in hip hop, I'll get back to that in a second.
Just very quickly, this note on this.
When they say pop a cap in your ass, any other word apart from cap is going to be odd with that sentence, isn't it?
Pop a sausage in your ass.
Exactly.
Pop a Mega Drive in your ass.
It's just weird, but it's odd.
Pop a finger in your ass.
It's just anything.
That's what the doctor does.
Yeah.
Talking of hip hop, the other thing I just wanted to mention.
Exactly.
If you had Dr.
J say, I'm going to pop a finger in your ass.
Hell yeah.
How's my prostate?
Is my prostate OK?
Hell yeah.
Thanks, doctor.
Can I get a hell yeah?
The other thing related to hip hop, very briefly, because occasionally we do talk this.
Sorry, sorry.
Hang on.
The outlaw building thing, what happened?
He just got dissed.
You know, he disses everyone.
Bill Cosby, everyone.
Anyway, I also listened to another new album this week.
LL Cool J.
He's got a new hip hop album out.
Oh, really?
It's produced by Q-Tip, and it is fucking brilliant.
Really good, because all the tracks sound like a Tribe Called Quest songs from the mid-90s.
And because it's Q-Tip producing every single one of them.
How's his voice, do you know?
It sounds great.
It must be aged though.
Is it deeper?
Or LL?
Yeah, of course.
Sounds the same, to be honest.
He's got a song on there.
Funny enough, the reason I said way, he's got a song on there with Eminem called Murder Graham.
And they rap really fast, taking it in terms of...
LL Cool J has always been really good at rapping.
Well, him and Eminem really go for it.
I think he's overshadowed his rapping with his acting.
But the video for Murder Graham made me realize what success Eminem has had as a white guy in the hip hop game.
Because he's in a video with LL Cool J and LL stood on a car, an old VW Golf, like he would have done back in the day, and he's wearing the leathers and he's rapping about, I'm the guy wearing leathers back in the day with a panther on a chain, and all the kind of stuff that he used to do.
And he's rapping like he used to, but a hundred miles an hour.
And you just got Eminem with him acting like the coolest guy ever.
It's not even phased that one of the lords of rap, literally the gods of rap, is you're on his song.
Because normally when Eminem collabs with somebody on a song, it's always, they're a bit overshadowed by Eminem.
Do you know what I mean?
But this time Eminem is the guest.
Because LL Cool J is LL Cool J, do you know what I'm saying?
But you should check it out.
It's called Murdergram.
It's a great video and a really good song, really funky, weird song.
I've got crews to Sarah's tomorrow, so I will listen to it amongst other podcasts.
Yeah, the new album is good.
It's called Force.
Oh, cool, man.
LL Cool James' new album Force is on Spotify right now.
Ladies love Cool James.
They do.
The ladies love him.
Shall we talk about what we've been watching and some horror and some horror news?
It would be better if Jimmy Savile's LL Cool James.
Fucking hell.
Big battle, isn't it?
I must have knocked you out.
Can't do rap on radio.
I can't do Jimmy Savile's.
Fucking hell, what was that?
I don't know.
I must have knocked you out.
I'm a bit unprepared when Jimmy Savile comes out of your mouth and thought, Oh God, that's not good.
You're unprepared for it.
You don't know what's going to happen.
It never meant it.
It's worse when you go, I can't do it.
What's going on?
I've lost my Jimmy.
Oh.
I'm glad.
Well, there we go.
We aren't kooky.
Totally thrown you off course.
That reminds me to thank Kevin, our patron, who said thank you for the episode and thank you for your kookiness.
Yeah.
Because we are kooky.
We're crazy.
Yeah.
And I don't want to talk about Jimmy's half-all either.
Right.
Right.
So listen up.
Before we get into what we've been watching, I'm angry.
I'm cross.
There's been some news that's come out.
You told me earlier and I was like, oh, talk about this in the intro.
They're remaking one of our favorite films of all time.
Yeah.
Our favorite film, probably our joint favorite sort of horror comedy of all time, Gav.
Remind our listeners what it is.
The Burbs.
The Burbs for Tom Hanks.
It's fantastic.
It's got everything you want in it from a family horror comedy.
And it is horror.
Say what you will.
It is.
Well, they're remaking it.
Peacock.
You've heard of Peacock, the streaming series in America and the sort of production company of remaking the Burbs.
Well, before we get into it, like the Crow recently.
Oh, God.
It's not done well, is it?
No, no, no.
It's done very, very, very badly.
