1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:03,903
What is it?

2
00:00:08,736 --> 00:00:09,695
Yeah.

3
00:00:09,695 --> 00:00:17,135
Did you ever think of wearing a hairnet when you made this stew? Why? What's the matter? What's the matter? Are you kidding? I've got hair in my stew. That's what's the matter.

4
00:00:17,615 --> 00:00:19,896
Oh mine's alright, nothing wrong with mine.

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,199
Everything is ready.

6
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:12,480
This sandwich tastes

7
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,659
As dry as hell.

8
00:01:14,751 --> 00:01:24,623
Hello and welcome to Hello This is the Doomed Show. I am Richard, and folks, I am enrolled. I am so enrolled I'm rolling down the street with all my degrees.

9
00:01:25,215 --> 00:01:31,456
All my colleges, my night school degrees, talking with Professor Mark. Hello, Mark.

10
00:01:31,936 --> 00:01:32,896
How are you?

11
00:01:33,376 --> 00:01:37,215
How am I? I'm great, I'm one of the intellectual elite.

12
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:46,207
I I I'm sure you are. At the school at the school for older women who can only take classes at night. Yes. For some reason.

13
00:01:46,207 --> 00:01:53,947
The you know, I don't know what made me think of this, but like when you're looking at someone's Facebook profile and they list their education as school of hard knocks.

14
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,200
And you're like you didn't you didn't go there. If you did, you didn't get a degree.

15
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,079
No, you didn't graduate. You didn't make it through. You were a dropout.

16
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,200
Oh let me see those hard knockers, everybody.

17
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,959
Right.

18
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,424
We are talking about night school from nineteen eighty one. We're in slasher town population slash.

19
00:02:13,855 --> 00:02:27,056
And Boy Oh Boy, Terror Eyes, it's a UK title, which leads me down so many roads'cause Terror Eyes is another horror movie. And then what was the one? Uh that's the one with Peter Weller where he's trying to kill.

20
00:02:27,056 --> 00:02:27,485
That rat.

21
00:02:28,656 --> 00:02:30,575
Peter Weller trying to kill a rat.

22
00:02:31,056 --> 00:02:32,975
The rat is like living in the walls.

23
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:44,015
I know what you're talking about. Oh my and his wife and and child go away on vacation or something and come back. Yes, I love that one. Oh my gosh, what is that? That's gonna drive me.

24
00:02:44,015 --> 00:02:45,455
Of unknown origin.

25
00:02:45,455 --> 00:02:46,415
There you go.

26
00:02:46,415 --> 00:02:53,616
But I don't know why I think the I don't know how I went down there. I I thought it was called Something Eyes. Anyway, I mix these movies up because I'm

27
00:02:53,616 --> 00:02:55,536
Well,

28
00:02:55,536 --> 00:03:08,560
I'm off on a tangent already. But yes, spoiler alert. So if you are interested in seeing this film, please to be stopping the show and go watch it'cause it is worth watching and

29
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,840
I'm not sure how you've made it this far in life by not seeing this. I'd like to to know who has not seen night school.

30
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,300
Yeah.

31
00:03:14,848 --> 00:03:21,135
Um and folks, this episode, of course, is brought to you by Giallo Meltdown 2. And you're asking yourself,

32
00:03:21,663 --> 00:03:35,312
Wait a minute, this is a slasher. What's it doing in a Giallo book, dude? And I say, It's okay, it's my book. I'll put whatever I want in it. But also, uh this killer is dressed like the killer from either

33
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Strip nude for your killer or what have they done to your daughters? So there you go. Although this plot is totally totally insane when we find out what's been going on. It could be a Giallo.

34
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,169
Oh totally.

35
00:03:50,848 --> 00:03:53,231
Now I thought for sure you were gonna mention Nightmare B.

36
00:03:53,728 --> 00:03:59,855
Dude, thank you for picking that up. Yes, I j and I just watched that because uh it was spring break very recently, so we watched Nightmare B.

37
00:04:00,256 --> 00:04:01,455
Bring break down.

38
00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:05,786
Yeah. Ooh. We watched a movie that I think you might like, uh Where the Boys Are.

39
00:04:06,175 --> 00:04:08,336
Oh wait, which one? The original or the original?

40
00:04:08,816 --> 00:04:09,776
Oh okay.

41
00:04:09,776 --> 00:04:13,376
Nineteen sixty nineteen sixty?

42
00:04:14,336 --> 00:04:15,056
I can't remember.

43
00:04:15,056 --> 00:04:18,745
And then and there's an eighties remake as well, which is kind of goofy.

44
00:04:19,136 --> 00:04:26,096
Yeah, I need to r I need to watch that. I haven't had the urge to see that since I caught it on cable. Uh we are big fans of the the original

45
00:04:26,096 --> 00:04:27,536
The OG.

46
00:04:27,536 --> 00:04:40,079
Yeah. Giallo Meltdown 2. Um there's a whole slasher chapter where I talk about slashers that remind me of Giallo. And uh yeah, on Amazon.com, make sure you give your money to Papa Bezos.

47
00:04:40,512 --> 00:04:47,951
And if you're in the Netherlands, you can purchase it as well, because I stumbled across it and I thought that was pretty cool that your book is already all the way over here.

48
00:04:47,951 --> 00:04:51,791
Man, representing the n the neither region.

49
00:04:52,752 --> 00:04:53,211
Another.

50
00:04:53,536 --> 00:04:59,536
I like the neither region. Here nor here nor there.

51
00:04:59,536 --> 00:05:10,800
Especially when it's snowing, I'm sure it's n it's the the n the neither. The neither. The neither. The neither. Anyway, here is a wonderful trailer for this movie. This trailer is one of my favorites. This is great. And here it goes.

52
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:18,000
When darkness descends on the city.

53
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:26,639
happens to the girls who attend night school. You're not walking home alone tonight, are you?

54
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,519
We'll be alright.

55
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Something

56
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,480
Modern man has only to take a short step to wind up in the primeval jungle of his ancestors.

57
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,180
Yeah.

58
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,519
Forbidding.

59
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,120
But yeah.

60
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:05,040
Not too many.

61
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,439
Something.

62
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,319
Terrifying.

63
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,199
Who's there?

64
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,639
Prepare for a lesson in terror.

65
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:56,591
The VHS tape from CBS Fox has uh a very, very long plot description. I ain't reading that shit. But what you need to know is that the tagline is In the dark of night, a killer lurked.

66
00:06:58,543 --> 00:07:00,223
Well,

67
00:07:00,223 --> 00:07:12,223
I know. Wait till you hear the wait till you hear the one sentence of the uh the plot synopsis from IMDB. Who's been decapitating the innocent girls at a local night school? The police are baffled.

68
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:19,439
I feel like you should also be making like a shrugging thing with your shoulders and throwing your hands up like, oh well.

69
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:35,824
See, folks, we turned the camera off, partly'cause this is not a video show, but also because we don't want the freaking uh our connection between Tampa and the Netherlands to freeze up. So I was literally shrugging my shoulders like The police are baffled, so Mark knows me too well.

70
00:07:35,824 --> 00:07:40,764
Oh yeah. Well and let's be honest, part of the reason is because I still do my uh end top loop.

71
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,639
Oh that's right. That's right. Yeah. I do mine bottomless.

72
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:46,800
But that I don't know because you're sitting.

73
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,639
My bad. I will stand up from now. I'm a standing up now. Mm-hmm.

74
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:52,509
Oh, they I don't know.

75
00:07:54,223 --> 00:08:06,043
So yes, this was directed by uh Ken Hughes. Ken Hughes, if you don't know, is uh the guy who wrote Breakfast Club and Home Alone.

76
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,439
Ha ha

77
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:18,959
No, it's not the same guy. No, uh Ken Hughes, uh this was his last film, which is crazy that this was the last film he did before he retired. He didn't pass away till two thousand and one. Uh

78
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:20,029
He saved the best for last.

79
00:08:20,415 --> 00:08:24,399
He did indeed, um, but he directed things.

80
00:08:24,927 --> 00:08:28,528
Like chitty chitty bang bang. So there's your double feature.

81
00:08:28,528 --> 00:08:33,230
Well wait, isn't that also in your Giallo? Yeah, you put that in the yeah.

82
00:08:33,711 --> 00:08:37,311
For shitty shitty bang bang being a GLO as well.

83
00:08:37,311 --> 00:08:44,943
I'm gonna resist the urge to call it shitty shitty gangbang. Yeah, please don't I will not say that out loud, I promise.

84
00:08:44,943 --> 00:08:45,903
We're not gonna go down that route.

85
00:08:45,903 --> 00:08:58,480
He directed the the original Casino Royale, uh, which, you know, that's okay. He did a remake of of human bondage. That's insane. But yeah, his career goes way back to the fifties.

86
00:09:00,063 --> 00:09:13,552
Around for a long time. But the director who was supposed to do this but got replaced at the last minute um is Alfred Sol, who just passed away a couple of years ago. Alfred Sol directed Alice Sweet Alice from nineteen seventy six.

87
00:09:13,552 --> 00:09:14,272
Oh please.

88
00:09:14,272 --> 00:09:21,341
Oh man. And he directed one of my favorite horror comedies of all time, Pandemonium from nineteen eighty two.

89
00:09:21,855 --> 00:09:23,535
Carol King, right? Yes.

90
00:09:23,535 --> 00:09:26,895
Yep, yep, yep.

91
00:09:26,895 --> 00:09:31,775
No Kane, Kane. I knew that wasn't right. It was Carol Kane. Carol King would be singing about

92
00:09:31,775 --> 00:09:38,255
Let's pretend that that Carol King is in frickin' pandemonium with the glowing red eyes. I love it.

93
00:09:38,255 --> 00:09:45,600
But then I want the Carol King documentary as played by Carol King. Being Carol King.

94
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Yeah.

95
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:55,440
get the uncanny so there's killer cats in the Carol King documentary with Carol King.

96
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,639
Eat meow.

97
00:09:57,567 --> 00:10:08,847
Apparently humor is subjective and people don't like pandemonium, but I'm sure there's some folks out there with senses of humor just as lame as mine who are like totally into that movie.

98
00:10:08,847 --> 00:10:09,807
It's pretty enjoyable.

99
00:10:09,807 --> 00:10:10,528
Yeah.

100
00:10:11,008 --> 00:10:11,577
Yeah, I love it.

101
00:10:12,192 --> 00:10:19,631
There's always more early eighties horror parodies, like slasher parodies than you think there are. There's always another one. It's like roaches.

102
00:10:19,631 --> 00:10:22,559
Or share albums.

103
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:35,759
But yeah, Alfred Sol, I I I would love to know the story of why he got fired. Maybe that's some trivia we'll unearth here. This was written by a lady named Ruth Avragon, who went on to write um night school.

104
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,279
Wait, what?

105
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:40,440
That's all. This is all she did apparently

106
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,159
Yeah.

107
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:48,423
But uh I wonder if I wonder if they tried to like do any like well a woman wrote it so it's not sexist kind of a thing.

108
00:10:48,423 --> 00:10:49,384
Right.

109
00:10:51,303 --> 00:10:52,624
Yes, yes.

110
00:10:53,176 --> 00:10:59,399
I'm still trying to think like the director from Alice Sweet Alice, how sleazy would this movie just feel?

111
00:10:59,991 --> 00:11:05,735
It would be very different. I think it would be we would definitely have more characters with stained shirts.

112
00:11:06,264 --> 00:11:11,303
Uh huh. Lingering lingering in the hallways where little girls live. Like

113
00:11:11,303 --> 00:11:12,264
Yes, yeah.

114
00:11:12,264 --> 00:11:17,553
Dude, Alice Sweet Alice, I gotta get brave to watch that because that movie gives me the fucking creep.

115
00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:25,096
Oh, but I love it so much, Richard. It's like one of my oh it's like a Warm a warm comfort blanket for me.

116
00:11:25,096 --> 00:11:27,446
Yeah. Speaking of Gialla like things.

117
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:43,655
Yeah, shitty shitty bang bang. So sorry, I keep saying that. This stars I'm gonna go through some of the some of the characters here. Um we've got Leonard Mann, uh, who plays uh Judd Austin, our cop character, our lead guy, detective.

118
00:11:43,895 --> 00:11:57,255
He of the man variety was in a bunch of frickin' Giallo movies. Bunch of he went to Europe and did a bunch of stuff. I thought he worked with Jess Franco, but I was mixing him up with somebody else.

119
00:11:57,783 --> 00:11:59,943
Who is the guy I was mixing with?

120
00:12:01,015 --> 00:12:02,759
Bum. Another American

121
00:12:03,384 --> 00:12:10,823
Like a trumpet. Uh James Darren. I was mixing them up with James Darren, which now that I'm looking at the two of them, I don't know how I got here.

122
00:12:10,823 --> 00:12:11,783
They have eyes.

123
00:12:11,783 --> 00:12:16,053
They they're they're both men that worked with European people, I guess.

124
00:12:16,535 --> 00:12:31,368
Uh but yes, this is a very um wonderful character. This guy, Judd, we'll talk about him. Uh next up we got Rachel Ward as Eleanor. Uh this was Rachel Ward's debut. She was a model, uh, because she's stunning.

125
00:12:31,368 --> 00:12:32,807
She isn't she?

126
00:12:32,807 --> 00:12:33,288
Very

127
00:12:33,288 --> 00:12:33,768
Yeah.

128
00:12:33,768 --> 00:12:41,967
But yes, she was in The Thornbirds and Against All Odds, which is a movie I I to this day cannot stand that movie.

129
00:12:42,744 --> 00:12:44,903
That was one of my parents' movies.

130
00:12:45,384 --> 00:12:52,104
Made me watch when I was a kid and I was so bored and then they had that soundtrack with

131
00:12:52,583 --> 00:12:54,024
All the time. Oh.

132
00:12:54,024 --> 00:12:57,096
Collins. The Phil Collins one?

133
00:12:57,096 --> 00:13:07,783
Yes, sir. That's the one. She's also in a movie I've been wanting to watch for years and I don't remember if I saw it when it was back in the VHS days, Sharky's Machine.

134
00:13:07,783 --> 00:13:09,394
Oh with uh Burke.

135
00:13:09,655 --> 00:13:19,751
Bart. Um I'm getting to it. We watched a bunch of Burt Reynolds stuff recently. I wanted to see his eighties action movies that were like really bad and oh boy, they were wonderful.

136
00:13:20,087 --> 00:13:22,727
Oh yeah, they're yes, they are. They're great.

137
00:13:22,727 --> 00:13:26,807
Rachel Ward, uh just a couple of years later was in the final terror.

138
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:31,240
Thank you. I was hoping you would mention that because if it's got Daryl Hann in it, we have to talk about

139
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,320
You know what? I was just watching uh Roxanne last night.

140
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,159
There you go. Oh, and also isn't Adrian's Mead in it as well.

141
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:39,639
Yes.

142
00:13:40,248 --> 00:13:42,567
Yeah. Oh isn't he Greece too?

143
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,072
Fame.

144
00:13:44,984 --> 00:13:53,384
Oh wait. Roxanne You don't have to roxin You don't have to roxin.

145
00:13:53,384 --> 00:13:54,583
It's a remix.

146
00:13:54,583 --> 00:13:58,033
Um I don't think he's in Roxanne.

147
00:13:59,015 --> 00:14:01,895
Wait, what? No, Greece too. What are you saying?

148
00:14:01,895 --> 00:14:03,336
Roxanne?

149
00:14:03,336 --> 00:14:04,775
No I no but

150
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:14,440
Adrian's meet. Oh, I'm pretty sure he's in Greece too. And now we're singing Roxanne.

151
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,320
I already forgot about I already forgot about the fucking movie.

152
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:25,460
Like I did not I did not sign up for the Sting slash police podcast with you.

153
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,600
He keeps singing it.

154
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,039
That's the final terror.

155
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:30,519
Yeah.

156
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:41,559
I do that stuff to distract other people so they can't finish their thought, but I did it myself. My powers got turned back on me. Yes. The g the the wonderful, wonderful man.

157
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:43,240
Oh my gosh.

158
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:50,039
Who sings about bowling is in fucking final terror, which we should add that to our list.

159
00:14:50,744 --> 00:14:52,903
Rucks.

160
00:14:52,903 --> 00:14:55,303
We'll tear up final tear.

161
00:14:55,303 --> 00:15:01,583
Oh yeah. But I don't care if it's culturally appropriate or not, I will be wearing my cornrow wig if we do.

162
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,799
I won't stop you.

163
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:04,279
Okay, thank you.

164
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:07,399
You can do anything you want with your beautiful locks of hair.

165
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:12,759
Right. Yes. I have to velcro so they have flight off.

166
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:17,649
So yes. Next up is Drew Snyder. He plays Vincent Millet.

167
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,360
I think he's the professor?

168
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,000
Okay, tell me they did not want Kelsey Grammar.

169
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:35,864
The thing about this guy is that he's lost his hair and then aged like ten years by the time he got to his next few roles, so I didn't even recognize him at all. That's why he will be our Kelsey Grammar for this discussion.

170
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:41,559
Except he's slightly hornier than anyone else.

171
00:15:42,168 --> 00:15:51,048
But he doesn't deserve to be. Cause like I to me, the actor would get one of those schoolgirls, maybe, but not the entire school.

172
00:15:51,048 --> 00:15:58,248
Yeah, he's working his way through the and and then he's volleying his leftovers to the frickin' headmistress. But we'll get to that when we get to that.

173
00:15:58,248 --> 00:16:00,056
Oh Nora Dunn.

174
00:16:00,056 --> 00:16:13,206
So we got Joseph Sakari who plays Taj, who is our our uh cop's best bud, the other the other detective here. This guy is wonderful in this movie. Oh my god, he's so funny.

175
00:16:14,615 --> 00:16:20,840
Scott he's got some kooky behavior that's going to give us our ending to the movie that is just absolutely baffling.

176
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,679
Now which ending are you talking about?'Cause I think there's like five of them, Richard.

177
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:27,080
Yes, they they couldn't figure out how to stop

178
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,519
train. The night school train was not going where they wanted.

179
00:16:30,936 --> 00:16:31,655
Oh.

180
00:16:31,655 --> 00:16:40,946
But this guy was in a lot of T V stuff, like tons and tons of T V, like speaking of the love boat, he's in the love boat. We were just talking about that a moment ago.

181
00:16:41,624 --> 00:16:44,327
Um he's in Wonder Woman as a as someone named Leach.

182
00:16:44,984 --> 00:16:46,183
Love it.

183
00:16:46,183 --> 00:17:01,192
Love it. It's perfect. Nightcourt A Gnome Named Norm from nineteen ninety, whatever that is. Oh, this looks horrible. I'm upset. What the fu That is the most irritating makeup I've ever seen.

184
00:17:01,816 --> 00:17:05,174
This has to be Anthony Michael Hall's finest hour.

185
00:17:05,174 --> 00:17:06,375
Oh Anthony.

186
00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:15,664
You've got Anthony Michael Hall, you've got Jerry Orbach from frickin' uh Dirty Dancing, you've got R Robert Zadar.

187
00:17:16,375 --> 00:17:21,960
Holy shit. This is a action adventure comedy family fantasy.

188
00:17:22,807 --> 00:17:24,968
So pretty much everything. It's just all encompassing.

189
00:17:24,968 --> 00:17:25,688
The

190
00:17:26,262 --> 00:17:36,343
The gnome named Norm is one of the weirdest, ugliest character. He looks like they tried to copy somebody from uh Dark Crystal and failed.

191
00:17:36,343 --> 00:17:42,440
Ugh. Wow. I actually I'm sure this is a hot take, but I find those puppets off putting.

192
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:50,839
Uh that's not a hot take. That is a that is a human reaction to shit being fucked up looking. You're good.

193
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:55,700
Like I don't want to see a Muppet and then kind of like dry heave in my mouth.

194
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,559
But that's what they do to me.

195
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:03,220
Oh my god. Um we've got Nick Karras as Gus.

196
00:18:03,991 --> 00:18:05,912
Is he the guy who runs the diner?

197
00:18:05,912 --> 00:18:07,571
Okay.

198
00:18:08,248 --> 00:18:14,248
is the owner and then Gary is the one that I get confused with. Yeah, Gary is the yes. Okay, you're correct.

199
00:18:14,248 --> 00:18:21,991
Okay, we're getting there. Uh Karen McDonald plays Carol the amazing frickin' wig, who's also a uh

200
00:18:21,991 --> 00:18:22,471
Mm.

201
00:18:22,471 --> 00:18:33,521
uh a waitress at this diner. Um apparently she leaves a bunch of her hair in the frickin' chili. I love it. Or in the stew. Yeah. There's a wonderful fake out where you think that uh

202
00:18:33,976 --> 00:18:40,455
You're we're gonna find her head in the frickin' stew, but it's just a bunch of her hair wig. Oh bless her heart.

203
00:18:40,455 --> 00:18:41,415
Mr. Wiggles.

204
00:18:41,415 --> 00:18:52,248
Uh she wasn't in a lot of stuff, but I really like her in this. She's all flirty and ridiculous. I remembered her having like this big throw down fight with the killer, but that is not what happens in this movie.

205
00:18:52,248 --> 00:18:54,488
I think she actually calls him Eucret.

206
00:18:55,096 --> 00:19:00,375
Which I'm like, if someone's stabbing me, you creep is not what's gonna come out of my mouth.

207
00:19:00,375 --> 00:19:04,496
It's like uh hey, what's wrong with you? Tr try to behave yourself.

208
00:19:04,887 --> 00:19:06,567
Cut it out.

209
00:19:06,567 --> 00:19:15,988
You're being you're being antisocial. Um we've got Bill McCann as Gary. Speaking of Gary, boy, boy, oh boy. This is one creepy son of a bitch.

210
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:20,200
I love this guy. He's he's uh our suspect here.

211
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,559
His only other credit is in Mermaids.

212
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:25,480
My gosh, I love mermaids so much.

213
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:32,680
Now next time you watch it, look for that New Year's party or oh. So anyway, we're gonna talk about this plot.

214
00:19:33,496 --> 00:19:36,375
And it's gonna be great. I know it's gonna be great.

215
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:38,056
I can feel it in my bones.

216
00:19:38,056 --> 00:19:43,271
Me too. Uh this movie's brought to you by Laura Mar Candy Bars.

217
00:19:43,271 --> 00:19:44,711
The eyes of Laura Mark.

218
00:19:44,711 --> 00:19:45,192
Yeah.

219
00:19:45,192 --> 00:19:45,672
Yeah.

220
00:19:45,672 --> 00:19:51,112
The eyes of Lorima. Am I thinking of Malamar's or is Laura?

221
00:19:51,112 --> 00:19:58,311
Probably I don't a Laura Mars. I just like I said, all I could think of is a Laura Mars. I think you're combining s like there's a Mars bar

222
00:19:58,311 --> 00:20:02,983
Yes. Um and uh Malamar is a cookie.

223
00:20:02,983 --> 00:20:03,943
And a mouth mute.

224
00:20:03,943 --> 00:20:09,463
So my joke is already not good. But I would love some frickin' Malamars right now. Holy shit.

225
00:20:09,463 --> 00:20:11,624
Well I want the eyes of the Laura Mars.

226
00:20:11,624 --> 00:20:12,213
You can have it.

227
00:20:12,903 --> 00:20:19,240
I got uh I got Brad that uh soundtrack on vinyl for uh Christmas last year.

228
00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:33,152
So we go to the Jack and Jill daycare center where uh the day's activities are or or winding up. Uh this is Boston by the way. This is the most Boston slasher that ever got slashed in Boston.

229
00:20:33,503 --> 00:20:34,223
It's Boston.

230
00:20:34,223 --> 00:20:36,144
I I went ahead.

231
00:20:37,344 --> 00:20:46,160
Expanded those details on IMDb, and it's like they filmed this year, then they film this day, and then it'll be here, and they had Yeah.

232
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,480
One lady who stays behind to make sure all the kids.

233
00:20:51,119 --> 00:21:06,112
are are out of there. Uh but she stays behind a lockup and she decides to play on the uh Merry Go Round. And she's joined by a a fun pal who wants to play too. And uh what happens when the the killer wants to play with her, Mark?

234
00:21:06,112 --> 00:21:11,872
Now when you say merry go round it's it's it's the kind that you sit on in like a playground and it just

235
00:21:11,872 --> 00:21:12,832
Spins. Yeah.

236
00:21:12,832 --> 00:21:16,622
Yep. So you can exit it at any time you want to.

237
00:21:17,231 --> 00:21:18,592
It's not going that fast.

238
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:28,576
Not at all. So she's sitting there in this like leather clad with a helmet on. And of course she thinks that that they're to pick up a kid.

239
00:21:28,784 --> 00:21:42,847
you know she's like all the kids have left who are you looking for and then they the killer just starts spinning that merry-go-round apparently at breakneck speed because your only option would be jumping off and i guess killing yourself at the force that you'd be thrown for the merry go around

240
00:21:43,087 --> 00:21:51,008
So she sits there and then just you know, it spins and spins and then she pulls out the was it a ku Kukri? It's like a blade from India, but it's uh it's

241
00:21:51,008 --> 00:21:51,488
Yeah.

242
00:21:51,488 --> 00:21:53,407
Sword, knife or whatever, the weapon.

243
00:21:53,407 --> 00:21:55,327
Does it look like a um?

244
00:21:55,327 --> 00:22:08,304
To me it looked like a boomerang made out of metal with a handle. Yeah, what's it called? Because it's got it's bent. And Richard, like you could duck. Even if you don't feel safe jumping off of it, just get your head out of harm's way.

245
00:22:08,304 --> 00:22:12,364
It is absolutely a Gurkha, aka a kukuri.

246
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,400
Yeah, we're both right.

247
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,319
Oh I was just gonna ask if you kiss your mom with that mm.

248
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,000
Mouth. I do.

249
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:32,352
Uh but yeah, so uh and I was actually thinking about that as uh as I rewatched this for the fourth time in preparation for this podcast. It's not really the Halloween that did this, but I feel that kills like this.

250
00:22:32,688 --> 00:22:42,847
stemmed from the Friday the thirteenth series. Sure, sure. Of movies. Where it's like, okay, we need to get that weird quirky death. It's gotta be something that everyone's gonna leave and talk about.

251
00:22:42,991 --> 00:22:48,991
But then when you really think about it, it's like, hmm, it may have looked really cool, but like it there's no way.

252
00:22:48,991 --> 00:22:52,352
Any sense. Yeah. That's that one upset.

253
00:22:52,352 --> 00:23:00,352
Yeah, her head would not just lop right off. I mean it would take you like fifty million turns to get that head to come all the way off on that merry-go-round.

254
00:23:00,352 --> 00:23:11,263
See, normal people who watch these movies, they want that like one upsmanship of the gore. But like weirdos like us are like, Fuck that, get to the character style. Like I like the freaking. Oh yeah, what is she?

255
00:23:11,263 --> 00:23:12,493
Wearing again? Yeah.

256
00:23:13,023 --> 00:23:20,463
Two things. One, what if the killer wasn't there to kill her, but was actually picking up like a little tiny motorcycle helmet wearing child?

257
00:23:20,463 --> 00:23:25,279
Oh you mean Becky?

258
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:26,720
We've never seen what she looks like.

259
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,559
Little leather little leather bound child in a friggin'.

260
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:34,569
Oh Richard will stop laughing.

261
00:23:34,928 --> 00:23:43,087
And secondly, uh I wrote in my notes, Well, my favorite character's dead. Fuck it, I'm done. I like this character so much. I miss her already.

262
00:23:45,392 --> 00:23:51,680
issues with this. I feel it's a very weird time frame setup because it almost looks like

263
00:23:52,240 --> 00:24:04,991
It was morning that they're picking up'cause like there's like a whole weird sunset, sunrise thing going on. But what I found more disturbing, and I blame the person who's in charge of like uh the onset decoration or whatever.

264
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,319
There's just random toys just set around.

265
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:08,799
Yeah.

266
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:16,000
The playground, and I'm like, as a child who lost more than one stuffed animal terrain, you don't leave stuffed animals outside like

267
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:16,960
Yeah.

268
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,240
And I found that almost as disturbing as her murder.

269
00:24:19,567 --> 00:24:29,791
Yeah, and it's also like one of those things where the school seems wildly open. Like this playground seems like people would just wander off with children.

270
00:24:30,271 --> 00:24:35,271
The kids would walk into traffic or something like it's really weird, weird school in quote.

271
00:24:35,663 --> 00:24:49,632
Yeah, it like it really does feel to me like, oh, we've got an open space with some play things. Let's just like throw'cause the sign that looks like the daycare looks like it was maybe printed in someone's basement. Yes, yes. And they just like really quickly made this a uh

272
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,903
playground by putting up like a what's the thing you blow on the um to make it spin? Oh my god.

273
00:24:56,655 --> 00:25:02,751
You know they were being clever by having that in the movie too,'cause it spun, you know, like the Merry Go Round. What's it called?

274
00:25:03,231 --> 00:25:13,311
I know someone out there's yelling the answer to me right now, but it w just like these weird random toys stuck around where I'm like, this doesn't make it a playground. It just looks like a a a kid that doesn't care about their items. No.

275
00:25:13,311 --> 00:25:16,192
It was gonna take her hours to lock up to get all that shit.

276
00:25:16,192 --> 00:25:20,511
Yeah, she doesn't care. She's Miss she's Miss Barron. She's got things to do.

277
00:25:20,511 --> 00:25:30,256
So she was a a n a night school attendee. She's one of those frickin' uh educated women, bro.

278
00:25:30,256 --> 00:25:31,455
Look what that got her.

279
00:25:31,455 --> 00:25:37,248
Uh so yes, she she was going to the night school. So our our detective has to go and talk to

280
00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:51,711
the faculty there and he he bursts in on the class. We find out about our professor who uh our faux Kelsey Grammar guy who is uh working his way through the student body, one girl at a time.

281
00:25:52,223 --> 00:25:57,023
And yeah, I just like Do that.

282
00:25:57,983 --> 00:26:03,263
Like if you work at if you work at a college, like don't sleep with the students.

283
00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:15,720
It gets messy, do you know what I'm saying?'Cause then it's like, did I earn this grade for like my actual school work or You know, yeah, don't do it.

284
00:26:16,336 --> 00:26:29,407
So um our our pal who works with the professor Eleanor, um, she is is walking home so that night. Someone actually warns her, like, yo, you you

285
00:26:30,048 --> 00:26:41,577
gonna be okay walking home alone at night? She says, Of course I'll be okay. Um but then she gets chased by Gary. We'll we'll learn about Gary later. And his farty synth sound effect, Fart

286
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:53,695
Now some of it sounds very Italian, like the not the farts.

287
00:26:54,352 --> 00:27:05,056
But the but the music it like it goes into this it almost doesn't seem like it matches the rest of the flow of the film, but it goes to this like a really Italian sounding score.

288
00:27:05,551 --> 00:27:13,231
To me. Yeah. No, this this is other reasons why this pops up in my head as a as a faux American Giallo thingy.

289
00:27:13,711 --> 00:27:18,528
Are we gonna Spoil this now or we're gonna spoil it later?

290
00:27:19,215 --> 00:27:23,056
I want to go back to the scene that you just mentioned then after we spoil it.

291
00:27:23,056 --> 00:27:30,026
Okay, okay. So Brad Fidel is who the composer is on this this wonderful film.

292
00:27:30,448 --> 00:27:39,807
quite prolific up through twenty sixteen. He did movies like uh Blue Steel and Fright Night Part Two.

293
00:27:39,807 --> 00:27:41,008
Ooh, two goodies.

294
00:27:41,711 --> 00:27:44,832
Oh we did the music for the midnight hour. Hello.

295
00:27:44,832 --> 00:27:45,791
Oh great.

296
00:27:45,791 --> 00:27:55,440
Folks, where's the Blu-ray? Again, I ask this every time. Somebody help me. I've got the same frickin' DVD rip that everybody's got. We we need that in HD.

297
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,599
We're looking at you, Vinegar Syndrome.

298
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:01,440
Yes, please pay for those pay for all those songs on the soundtrack.

299
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,690
What?

300
00:28:04,208 --> 00:28:14,720
So um she jumps in the shower and gets she gets scared by her lover, who is the professor. Um, but he makes everything better, Mark.

301
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:22,559
Oh he makes all of it better with um I am skipping some stuff. We'll we'll we'll come back around to some of that.

302
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:28,208
No, you're fine. Yeah. No, it's yeah. I just remember Walt going on about how bad that would be for your pipes.

303
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:37,417
Oh yes. Okay, so let's explain what's going on. So um her lover, he brings a lot to a relationship and by a lot I mean a jar of raspberry jam.

304
00:28:38,096 --> 00:28:39,056
Into the shower.

305
00:28:39,056 --> 00:28:41,516
Now folks, I'm not here to judge.

306
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:54,304
Don't don't be bringing food into your sexy times. But yes, for the sake of your plumbing, um, and I don't mean that plumbing, I mean your actual plumbing. Don't be bringing the raspberry jam in the shower to smear on your lever.

307
00:28:54,607 --> 00:28:58,607
I do like the kind of like shitty

308
00:28:59,311 --> 00:29:10,832
sort of not good irony of like the killer just killed somebody and there's blood, but also here's some f very bloody looking jam. Uh-huh. It's a it's a thing.

309
00:29:10,832 --> 00:29:14,031
And it's even running down into the drain, much like Psycho.

310
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:16,000
Yes.

311
00:29:16,592 --> 00:29:21,824
I'm skipping a few things but I swear it's all gonna make sense. I swear. We're we are gonna talk about that waitress. We're gonna get back.

312
00:29:22,976 --> 00:29:36,223
I don't know what mean to skip. The killer goes after uh the lady who who cleans the aquarium. Um Kim. I think it would have been funnier if she was a mermaid at the aquarium. Yeah.

313
00:29:36,223 --> 00:29:37,903
Yes, I would have loved that.

314
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,440
That would have been amazing.

315
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:45,680
There's that viral video going around of that poor mermaid lady who the fish is attacking her and biting her head. Have you seen this?

316
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,640
No!

317
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:52,640
So sad. I feel so bad. Poor lady. That's not a great day at work. That is a terrible day at work.

318
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:54,319
Yeah.

319
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:58,920
Is she even credited? Yes, there she is. So this is this is Elizabeth Barnett.

320
00:29:59,567 --> 00:30:09,407
Who dons the uh she was in nothing else. I'm glad I mentioned her. Buzz her heart. Uh she's the one who gets into the wetsuit and goes and looks for the frickin' uh

321
00:30:09,776 --> 00:30:23,359
the the fish turds to clean'em up or she's doing something for school. I don't know. But in her in the locker room and she's getting changed, the killer shows up and this killer's not nice. This is a brutal killing, dude.

322
00:30:23,536 --> 00:30:35,296
It's a brutal killing. It also seems like maybe the killer possesses some of Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees' ability to be at many places at one time without explanation to how they got there.

323
00:30:35,296 --> 00:30:36,395
Yes, absolutely.

324
00:30:36,655 --> 00:30:48,064
Okay, this may just be me,'cause in my mind everything can go back to a Jamie Lee Curtis movie. But this particular part, I think it's when they're they're dragging the weapon across the the the the the chain.

325
00:30:48,336 --> 00:30:52,928
It's making that noise, but it reminds me of Terror Train when she's being attacked.

326
00:30:53,296 --> 00:30:55,935
All roads lead back to Terror Train.

327
00:30:55,935 --> 00:30:57,855
I got terror train vibes from that.

328
00:30:58,336 --> 00:30:58,816
I will say.

329
00:30:58,816 --> 00:31:00,736
Three favorite slashers of all time.

330
00:31:00,736 --> 00:31:01,215
Oh yeah.

331
00:31:01,215 --> 00:31:02,175
Yeah.

332
00:31:02,175 --> 00:31:04,336
M is not a very good victim.

333
00:31:06,079 --> 00:31:08,720
She's not putting up a whole l bunch of struggle.

334
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:15,200
No, and she's not very like I'd be screaming bloody murder and you get a couple of ouches and oh leave me alone kind of thing from K.

335
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,670
Ah, but Mark, have you ever tried to stare down a killer?

336
00:31:19,231 --> 00:31:23,160
Like look at them with disbelief until they stop stabbing you.

337
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,079
Play it.

338
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:27,480
Please stop, I'm asking with my eyes.

339
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,839
And you're just seeing the reflection in that helmet, that's all you're getting.

340
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:39,832
Yep. And then he decapitates her and throws her frickin' head into the tank for people to find and then A hungry, hungry turtle.

341
00:31:40,455 --> 00:31:41,175
Ha ha.

342
00:31:41,175 --> 00:31:48,167
Tries to frickin' eat her head or eat the chunks of her head neck meat or whatever. It's wonderful.

343
00:31:48,167 --> 00:31:56,768
So now I I do love the setup of this because I don't think it's just arbitrary that Kim works at this place because all the heads have been found in water.

344
00:31:57,624 --> 00:32:03,624
Yep, yep, yep. Yeah. In your notes, um point number seven it's

345
00:32:04,584 --> 00:32:06,824
I'm sulking for two. What is happening?

346
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:14,519
So this is the part that I've all I can say is Rachel. What uh Elaine? What's her name?

347
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:15,960
Leonora.

348
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Thank you.

349
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,880
Eleanor. There we go.

350
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,829
Eleanor. Eleanor Eleanor reveals to her um

351
00:32:22,087 --> 00:32:34,807
What would you call him? You kept saying lover, but to me it's like her whatever. Anyway, to the professor, she's at the um restaurant and she reveals that she is pregnant with his child.

352
00:32:34,807 --> 00:32:35,208
Ah dude.

353
00:32:35,496 --> 00:32:42,455
And so she's like, you know, I I just wanted you to know. So that's why she and then I like how he that excuses everything. Then he's like, oh.

354
00:32:42,935 --> 00:32:44,615
That explains that you're pregnant.

355
00:32:44,615 --> 00:32:48,695
Right, right, right. She's going through something. Some changes. No, I

356
00:32:48,695 --> 00:32:50,135
Sloping for two now.

357
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:56,865
It just reinforces his walking hard on frickin' bullshit. Like, whoa, there's like consequences for my actions.

358
00:32:57,384 --> 00:33:16,384
Fucking hate this guy. Uh yes, and this is one of my favorite moments where uh good old uh Carol's ineffectually trying to help Carol's sort She's sort of a confidant with uh with with Eleanor, but she also is But she's also shamelessly flirting with the professor in front of her.

359
00:33:16,647 --> 00:33:21,928
Yeah. Now, Richard, do you think that Eleanor really is pregnant?

360
00:33:21,928 --> 00:33:26,728
Oh that's a good question. Um I'd go ahead and say probably. I don't think this is a ruse.

361
00:33:27,208 --> 00:33:29,607
I was just wondering. Yeah. We can move on.

362
00:33:30,087 --> 00:33:30,468
Oh we will.

363
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,359
But Richard, do you think she's pregnant with the it's alive baby?

364
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:35,079
Yeah.

365
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:36,519
Yeah.

366
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,490
That's what I really want to know. She's got a Xenomore.

367
00:33:40,152 --> 00:33:41,352
That would be amazing.

368
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:43,271
He's just carrying a xenomorph around.

369
00:33:43,751 --> 00:33:47,112
We're just gonna carry it to term. Just gonna carry it to term. God damn it.

370
00:33:47,112 --> 00:33:50,471
And it would look like a xenomorph but with Kelsey Grammar's face at the very end.

371
00:33:50,471 --> 00:33:50,981
Yeah.

372
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:57,720
These days everyone's trying to sell you a chicken sandwich. A chicken burger. Ooh, it's just for

373
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,079
Chicken sandwich? Ahoy, my boy!

374
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,400
Do you wanna?

375
00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:07,319
sandwich like the chicken

376
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:14,519
And only we make it the crazy.

377
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:30,231
Right. So around this time, good old uh Kathy, one of the lovers of this another student, um, and she has been unceremoniously dumped.

378
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:38,135
By the professor. This is uh Holly Hardman. Um, and she was in this.

379
00:34:39,016 --> 00:34:40,440
And some other things.

380
00:34:41,255 --> 00:34:44,375
I don't know why I mentioned her.

381
00:34:44,855 --> 00:34:55,494
is, you know, reporting to the dean that some shit has happened and she's gotten dumped. And the dean is very understanding. Very

382
00:34:56,168 --> 00:34:58,264
Very Understanding.

383
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,960
Very understanding.

384
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,639
Is this a Nette Miller?

385
00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:02,360
Yes, I believe.

386
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:16,152
This is Annette Miller. She plays uh the Dr. Griffin, who's the the head of the school. And she was in some stuff as well. These people were all in some stuff. She played Saleswoman in Next Karate Kid.

387
00:35:16,871 --> 00:35:17,496
Why I'm not

388
00:35:18,184 --> 00:35:22,744
See I feel you're being very gracious with this actress'cause I don't really see much that I would be

389
00:35:22,744 --> 00:35:24,423
She looks familiar to me.

390
00:35:24,423 --> 00:35:26,824
Because she looks like Nora Dunn from Sarnet Live.

391
00:35:26,824 --> 00:35:29,063
Yes, which is why I have a crush on it.

392
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:32,039
Because I have always had a crush on Nora Dunn.

393
00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:33,670
See I just tore up a picture of the Pope.

394
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,239
That was you?

395
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,920
That was me. See?

396
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:43,639
You your impression of her impression of uh Skinhate O'Connor.

397
00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:45,079
Right.

398
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:46,820
picture. And yes, I said skin head.

399
00:35:47,335 --> 00:35:50,215
Because I'm a comedian or a commodion.

400
00:35:50,215 --> 00:35:52,996
Who would I tear Oh, I would tear up a picture of Mrs. Garrett.

401
00:35:53,864 --> 00:35:56,023
That is brutal, dude. That is brutal.

402
00:35:56,023 --> 00:35:56,983
Yeah, that's who I would tear.

403
00:35:56,983 --> 00:35:59,554
That's your your full tootie right now.

404
00:36:00,391 --> 00:36:01,592
I'm in trouble.

405
00:36:02,552 --> 00:36:08,581
Um yes, the way the Dean calms her down is to seduce her. And I wrote in my notes, this movie is fucking nuts.

406
00:36:09,096 --> 00:36:19,192
It's insane. It is insane. I just keep thinking of the poor HR person who's getting phone call after phone call from all these kids.

407
00:36:19,463 --> 00:36:30,503
So what I love about this next part, uh uh sadly, I don't want Carol the waitress to suffer, uh but yes, so the killer goes after um our number one wigged waitress here.

408
00:36:32,072 --> 00:36:32,791
Ha ha.

409
00:36:32,791 --> 00:36:39,331
Tell me about the uh the aftermath well, okay. She actually says you fucking creep to the killer, which is

410
00:36:39,976 --> 00:36:50,056
Pretty awesome. I I wish that she like smashed a chair and then was like stabbing at the killer with like one of the legs, but she she at least gives a little fight.

411
00:36:51,112 --> 00:36:56,152
But what happens that what is the aftermath of of the killer taking her out the next morning at the dining room?

412
00:36:56,152 --> 00:37:04,161
So the next morning or is it because the two men coming in okay, so her boss is it Gus? Yeah, Gus.

413
00:37:04,583 --> 00:37:13,463
He comes in because he had told her to close up the you know close up the restaurant and then it's it's a shambles and by shambles I mean I think there's one turned over chair and the lights are on.

414
00:37:13,463 --> 00:37:15,384
Look at this fucking mess.

415
00:37:15,384 --> 00:37:16,423
Yeah.

416
00:37:16,936 --> 00:37:25,463
And then there are two like regular customers who like basically cat call her all the time. Well, anyway, they show up and they're hungry. They're like bullshit.

417
00:37:25,463 --> 00:37:27,864
They're like they're hangry.

418
00:37:27,864 --> 00:37:30,983
Yeah, but like he offers them stew.

419
00:37:31,592 --> 00:37:45,112
So it what time again this movie has the weirdest thing to me with time. I can't wrap my head around it. But anyway, so they get stew because they want something hot and uh they're eating it and the one guy finds a heron.

420
00:37:45,608 --> 00:37:48,248
This can go on forever, Richard. Cut what you need to.

421
00:37:48,248 --> 00:37:50,168
I Oh my god, please go on.

422
00:37:50,168 --> 00:37:58,807
The owner's, I guess, solution is to go get so it's the biggest pot ever. It's like a sleepaway camp pot.

423
00:37:59,047 --> 00:38:08,887
And he b gets it he pours it into another pot as slowly as he can because we all know the waitress's head's gonna roll out of it'cause it's gotta be put in liquid, but it never does.

424
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:09,367
Nope.

425
00:38:09,367 --> 00:38:13,128
roll out of it at all. But I don't know what that would do.

426
00:38:14,407 --> 00:38:24,952
There's a hair in my suit, so I'm gonna just pour it into another container. I don't know what that does. And then so he goes to the fridge, doesn't he? And then like a melon falls from the top. So another

427
00:38:24,952 --> 00:38:25,431
Okay.

428
00:38:25,431 --> 00:38:34,751
Yeah, and then in the fridge, well we get no head there. But then this disturbs me. He goes to the giant industrial kitchen sink.

429
00:38:35,112 --> 00:38:43,128
And it's full. And so he reaches in. Yeah. He reaches in, pulls out the the drain thing, and then it goes down just a little bit to reveal hair.

430
00:38:43,496 --> 00:38:53,271
But what the actor does in shock is puts his fingers to his mouth. And I'm like, gross, that was just in that water with that.

431
00:38:54,327 --> 00:38:54,807
Take it.

432
00:38:54,807 --> 00:39:01,987
Dude dude on a stick. I love this part so much. This is his reaction to finding his his

433
00:39:02,472 --> 00:39:16,152
Frickin' employees severed head is one of the most outlandish I've ever seen in a fucking movie before. It is so funny and all of it's great. I love how annoying these customers are.

434
00:39:16,583 --> 00:39:25,496
'Cause they're so fucking hungry that they've lost their minds. Like this is like their hobbits or something. This is second breakfast or like

435
00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:26,695
You want something hot.

436
00:39:26,695 --> 00:39:34,565
Yeah, this is like pre-lunch lunch. I don't know what's happening. And I, folks, you can judge me all you want. I do not like stew once.

437
00:39:35,271 --> 00:39:43,992
Softened carrots hits those those like melting potatoes. I'm out. I cannot. I don't like that. That's it's the

438
00:39:43,992 --> 00:39:44,831
Meal you can drink.

439
00:39:45,224 --> 00:39:58,967
For your for your trivia cards at home, I know fans of this show have been writing down my likes and dislikes for the last uh fourteen years of the show. I do not like stewed carrots. They uh got gag reflex. I don't like that flavor.

440
00:39:59,431 --> 00:40:02,552
Cut to me writing that down under my list of Richard's dislikes.

441
00:40:02,552 --> 00:40:05,092
Cold thank you. Cold Karen.

442
00:40:05,911 --> 00:40:12,632
I'm good with, I'm good. But if I take too long chewing them and they get warm in my mouth, I start to get grossed out.

443
00:40:12,632 --> 00:40:13,831
I love you, Richard.

444
00:40:13,831 --> 00:40:15,512
That's how much I hate carrot.

445
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,369
This is your movie trivia podcast that the podcast hosts.

446
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,480
doesn't like them carrots. And also no peas. Peas are fucking disgusting.

447
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,239
Oh Peace don't even get me started on peas. Please don't get me started on peas.

448
00:40:31,704 --> 00:40:33,623
I wrote like ticks without legs in your mouth.

449
00:40:33,623 --> 00:40:34,103
Oh.

450
00:40:34,583 --> 00:40:41,304
Somebody says, I've got hair in my stoop. That's what's the matter. Or in Boston. Say it in Bostonese.

451
00:40:41,304 --> 00:40:44,833
Well let's see. I got hair in my stew, that's what's the matter.

452
00:40:45,992 --> 00:40:46,711
Was that okay?

453
00:40:46,711 --> 00:40:49,112
That was perfect. Chowda.

454
00:40:49,112 --> 00:40:51,032
I got chowder in my

455
00:40:51,032 --> 00:40:57,251
Um so of course, Gary the loner, uh he's he's the sexiest sex pervert that ever existed.

456
00:40:57,608 --> 00:41:11,255
The uh cops are gonna go and try to muscle him into confessing that he's the decapitationizer. Um in his department, you can actually smell his apartment. It's like uh it's like polyester, you get this scratch and sniff card with it.

457
00:41:11,815 --> 00:41:20,695
But now I love like I love this, I'm being sincere. Outside spray paint on the wall, it says ghetto ghouls, which if that's not a band, it should be.

458
00:41:21,512 --> 00:41:31,351
Dude, oh man, just like just like um a a black and Latino frickin' uh punk rock band. That would be amazing.

459
00:41:31,351 --> 00:41:31,831
Love it.

460
00:41:33,512 --> 00:41:41,655
And then in the apartment just to throw us, you know, a little red herring bone, th he's got a hockey mask, which I thought was kind of a cool little mop.

461
00:41:42,231 --> 00:41:47,751
The reason I said black and Latino is because I I don't want the white band. I don't want the all white band to

462
00:41:47,751 --> 00:41:48,711
No, no, I wanted to

463
00:41:48,711 --> 00:41:54,711
themselves ghetto ghouls because that I feel like that's appropriate someone else's culture.

464
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:03,440
I I'm feeling I'm feeling very after I I've opened up to the audience about carrots, I I feel the need to

465
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,760
On a you're on a

466
00:42:07,056 --> 00:42:10,864
I've started my journey with you, Mark. Hello. Welcome to the show.

467
00:42:10,864 --> 00:42:12,304
This is the Doomed show.

468
00:42:12,304 --> 00:42:13,744
Welcome to the last episode.

469
00:42:13,744 --> 00:42:17,103
So before we cancel.

470
00:42:17,103 --> 00:42:20,463
What happened to those guys who do not talk about the doom show?

471
00:42:20,463 --> 00:42:21,664
Yeah.

472
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:33,072
Alright. So um yeah. Gary stalking his prey like a movie collector on the Halfway to Black Friday sale.

473
00:42:33,072 --> 00:42:34,032
Ha ha ha.

474
00:42:34,032 --> 00:42:34,992
Wow.

475
00:42:34,992 --> 00:42:36,431
Wow. Wow.

476
00:42:36,431 --> 00:42:39,192
So yes, I wrote that in my notes.

477
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:51,440
Fuck, I'm losing it. So yeah, so so apparently Gary was stealing some underwear in a scene. Is that a thing that happens? They're tracking him. They're like watching him.

478
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,949
Yeah. Yeah. So he's got a bit of a r a record.

479
00:42:54,512 --> 00:42:56,559
Well, Gary, why aren't you at work?

480
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:06,159
Zero law of it says I have to go to work if I if I don't feel good. The man asked you a question. I got sick.

481
00:43:06,639 --> 00:43:07,420
Pretty pretty.

482
00:43:08,416 --> 00:43:17,775
Now, uh, what's this? Uh a hobby of yours? So what if it is? Well, it's kind of a sick hobby, isn't it, Gary? Well.

483
00:43:17,775 --> 00:43:18,775
What you want?

484
00:43:19,744 --> 00:43:31,791
I ain't done nothing. You sure, Gary? Here, have a re- They're trailing him and he ends up at the uh the dean of the s girls' school.

485
00:43:32,096 --> 00:43:45,552
Oh, that's spying on her because she's talked because men are so horrible. Let's go back to my place and you can spend the night there and we'll chit chat about how awful men are because oh, I just want to do the same thing except I'm a woman to you.

486
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,583
I wrote that the Dean Lady not practicing what she preached.

487
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,440
Not at all. No.

488
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,400
Yeah.

489
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,280
Think about poor Holly, like she cannot catch a brain.

490
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:08,143
Oh my god. So yes. Uh this is one of the infamous head and a toilet slasher movie slashers. Oh yeah. Because it's we get head in a toilet in this and we get head in a toilet in curtains.

491
00:44:08,608 --> 00:44:14,128
Do we also get head in a toilet in happy birthday to me? Where's the other

492
00:44:14,128 --> 00:44:22,288
I know there's another one, but I can't remember what it was because they were actually talking to the actress that did it and they like put her head and they built the toilet kind of around it.

493
00:44:22,288 --> 00:44:23,228
That's so cool.

494
00:44:23,423 --> 00:44:30,384
Yeah. Well, until they forgot to take her out and then it was break and all the crew had to go to the bathroom after a chili.

495
00:44:30,384 --> 00:44:37,403
Oh Mark, that's not what happened. That's not what happened. That's somebody's fetish.

496
00:44:38,543 --> 00:44:43,344
Ooh, okay. Googling happy birthday to me, head in the toilet gets you some results.

497
00:44:44,543 --> 00:44:47,423
What the fuck?

498
00:44:47,423 --> 00:44:47,903
The toilet.

499
00:44:47,903 --> 00:44:52,224
No, I'm I'm just closing that window. I'm scared. I got scared by the internet. Oh, okay.

500
00:44:52,224 --> 00:44:52,704
All right.

501
00:44:53,856 --> 00:45:03,248
So, um, okay, we got one of my favorite things ever after they're killed. The cop is desperately trying to save the people that are already dead.

502
00:45:03,615 --> 00:45:14,416
And he comes running in and the killer attacks him, but dude, it's a dummy. They filled the costume or the killer wears with toilet paper or whatever just.

503
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,632
Speaking of toilets, and then just threw this dummy at our cop. It's all

504
00:45:20,543 --> 00:45:21,264
Yeah.

505
00:45:21,264 --> 00:45:35,311
I absolutely died. I love that so much. We need more dummies in horror movies. Uh so in your notes it says, I would do anything for love, even that. Tell me more, Mark. What's what's the big reveal here?

506
00:45:35,311 --> 00:45:39,952
After the mur after the double homicide Eleanor?

507
00:45:40,431 --> 00:45:47,802
Yeah. I still just want to call her Rachel. Eleanor shows back up to the professor's place and confesses what she's done and why she's done.

508
00:45:48,351 --> 00:45:57,231
So basically any woman who's pretty much ever set eyes on him that she even remotely thinks will do something with him, she just kills him, kills them.

509
00:45:57,231 --> 00:45:58,672
Yeah, Scott's him.

510
00:45:58,672 --> 00:46:12,943
And he's like, you you're crazy. You can't do that. And I'm thinking, well, yeah, we know she's crazy because we've seen everything she does. Um but also real quick, okay, now I'm not implying anything about anyone's sexuality or the way that genitalia works.

511
00:46:13,344 --> 00:46:21,264
Okay. But if Jennifer Tilly could copulate and make a baby with Jennifer Beals, I think it would look a lot like um Rachel Ward.

512
00:46:21,264 --> 00:46:22,943
Ooh, interesting.

513
00:46:22,943 --> 00:46:24,143
Because they're starting to see

514
00:46:24,143 --> 00:46:25,753
That's an experiment worth trying.

515
00:46:26,143 --> 00:46:35,503
Yeah, there's certain scenes where I'm like, ooh, she reminds me of Jennifer Tilly. And then there's certain ones where I'm like, no, she looks more like Jennifer Fields. So anyway, I'm just throwing it out there.

516
00:46:35,503 --> 00:46:37,664
I wanna know how Meg Tilly would feel about all.

517
00:46:38,175 --> 00:46:41,295
I love Meg Tilly, so we won't even go down that road.

518
00:46:41,295 --> 00:46:51,226
Underrated. I like the word underrated because it makes everybody lose their minds, because apparently that's like a a dumb word. But I think Meg Tilly fully underrated is now.

519
00:46:51,952 --> 00:46:53,152
No, I love her too death.

520
00:46:53,152 --> 00:46:53,632
Yeah.

521
00:46:53,632 --> 00:46:55,791
You must be completely insane.

522
00:46:56,271 --> 00:46:59,902
Why? For performing a ritual that's been accepted for thousands of years.

523
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:10,000
It's this culture that's uncivilized, Vincent. Where a woman isn't allowed to defend herself and the ones that she loves.

524
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:11,920
Kill them all?

525
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:20,623
Yes. And if you insist on having affairs with other women, I'm gonna have to kill them too.

526
00:47:21,695 --> 00:47:23,472
Now that's logical, isn't it? Yeah.

527
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,423
Yes, that's very nice.

528
00:47:26,208 --> 00:47:36,655
So I don't know your relationship. I can't, you know, but I do know that if Walt told me what she told him, I would not be anywhere as calm as this professor.

529
00:47:36,655 --> 00:47:41,405
Nope. Nope. He's he's he's taking it rather well. And of course the the cop

530
00:47:42,047 --> 00:47:53,527
Know something about her her reveal about why she's doing this. Oh, I guess we should talk about why she's doing this. Ha ha hey, come on. So they are studying ancient culture.

531
00:47:54,463 --> 00:47:56,943
And like quote unquote primitive cultural.

532
00:47:57,856 --> 00:48:02,896
And she got obsessed with the idea of, you know, the the the

533
00:48:02,896 --> 00:48:04,335
It was Papua New Guinea, wasn't it?

534
00:48:04,335 --> 00:48:08,896
Yeah, the the headhunters protecting their

535
00:48:09,536 --> 00:48:21,626
relationship their professors and killing all of the yeah, so her the the whole reasoning is just insane. It's just totally wacko. They s she spent a little too long in the jungle with him.

536
00:48:22,335 --> 00:48:24,976
I wrote in my notes she's a good woman.

537
00:48:24,976 --> 00:48:27,376
Ha ha ha.

538
00:48:27,376 --> 00:48:35,615
I don't know if that's what she said. But anyway, so cops are breaking down the door, but the motorcycle killer is now on an actual motorcycle and

539
00:48:36,192 --> 00:48:44,304
Zooming away. Now we know that, you know, our our lovely professor, because he's so cool and horny, he loves to drive a motorcycle. So

540
00:48:44,576 --> 00:48:52,496
If you're watching this movie, you know it's not her. And they have this big, uh, expensive looking police chase. It's actually pretty good.

541
00:48:52,496 --> 00:48:53,936
Yeah, yes, I agree.

542
00:48:53,936 --> 00:49:00,623
Chasing th him through the streets of Boston Baston, Boston, uh chowder, whatever.

543
00:49:00,623 --> 00:49:02,304
Boston on a motorbike.

544
00:49:03,264 --> 00:49:06,494
Now I feel like I'm just doing like Barbara Streisand on your show.

545
00:49:07,007 --> 00:49:08,688
That's all that's all I ever asked you to do.

546
00:49:09,168 --> 00:49:21,871
So um of course the chase ends with uh a standoff and our buddy the professor gets shot and they they de uh helmet him and he's taking the fall for his wacky lady. But of course

547
00:49:22,335 --> 00:49:32,431
Uh the cop knows this and uh at the funeral he's like, Yo, are these killings gonna stop now? Please, I beg you and she's like, Of course. But that's not the end.

548
00:49:32,431 --> 00:49:34,041
Will they? And will they though?

549
00:49:34,367 --> 00:49:39,407
If she gets another relationship yeah. If she gets in another relationship, no, they're not gonna stop.

550
00:49:39,407 --> 00:49:45,168
Right, yeah. Or if she just doesn't then yes, she's telling you the truth. I yeah, I'm like, hm, okay.

551
00:49:45,168 --> 00:49:48,858
It's like in uh Love actually when he goes That's enough now

552
00:49:50,096 --> 00:49:54,175
But you're like you're still stalking this woman. You're n it can't be over.

553
00:49:54,175 --> 00:49:55,376
It's not over.

554
00:49:55,376 --> 00:49:58,456
Shout out to all my love actually hom homies out there.

555
00:49:59,264 --> 00:50:05,744
I'm a homo, but I'm not a I saw that once and I was so mad that my

556
00:50:05,744 --> 00:50:06,224
Right.

557
00:50:06,224 --> 00:50:09,103
I'm going to kill you, Stacy.

558
00:50:09,103 --> 00:50:15,280
gets worse. The more you watch it, the more angry you'll get at the people'cause everyone's a shithead in that movie.

559
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,389
Yeah. It's almost like happiness part two, if you've ever seen happiness.

560
00:50:19,936 --> 00:50:25,936
Yikes. That's terrifying. After the funeral the movie's over, but not quite.

561
00:50:26,416 --> 00:50:30,192
So w what is the final stinger with this beautiful film?

562
00:50:30,592 --> 00:50:36,911
So because it just doesn't want to stop. It's it's having so much fun, it can't let go. It can't stop.

563
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:52,112
So our our police officer is in the front seat of his car and then you get that stinger music and then the a person in the back, leather clad with the helmet, pops up and grabs him and you're like, wait, no, but then it's actually just his buddy cop.

564
00:50:52,527 --> 00:50:55,887
It's Taj. Taj's got a little bit of a prankster.

565
00:50:55,887 --> 00:50:56,608
I

566
00:50:56,608 --> 00:50:57,568
But

567
00:50:57,568 --> 00:50:59,487
Does that mean that Taj did it all?

568
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,599
He's just

569
00:51:02,599 --> 00:51:10,800
He's just a goofy guy. No, I I love this stup. They couldn't leave it alone. But you know what? In this movie's defense, hour and twenty-eight minutes.

570
00:51:11,128 --> 00:51:20,231
This was not like a hundred ten minute thing. Like, I love happy birthday to me. It's a masterpiece. Why the fuck is it two hours long? I don't know.

571
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,440
It's the three hours director.

572
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,360
Oh Jesus.

573
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,719
So can I please go back because this disturbs me.

574
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,840
Yeah, so so now that we've know who the killer is, what what is what do you got?

575
00:51:31,096 --> 00:51:40,744
there's a a a couple of things where the way she behaves, I'm like, this does not make sense to me. So when she's walking home and Gary is stalking her.

576
00:51:41,016 --> 00:51:47,943
She's ba and'cause they're they're they're wanting the audience to think that, hey, this may be a viable character for our killer.

577
00:51:48,583 --> 00:51:57,463
She's like running from him, and she's all upset and she's all distraught. And I'm like, knowing what we know later, I don't feel she would behave that way at all.

578
00:51:59,623 --> 00:52:02,583
So is that just done for the audience?

579
00:52:04,152 --> 00:52:18,568
It's like are we seeing something that really didn't in this like reality really should have taken place? Was that just something the filmmaker did? And then moving on from there, the same way she's reacting to Gary is the way she's reacting inside

580
00:52:18,744 --> 00:52:31,463
uh her bedroom once she gets ready for the shower and everything because she's oh is there's someone out there and she's doing all this nervous stuff and I'm like you're a headhunter. You would not give a darn if someone came in there while you were showering. You'd lop their head off.

581
00:52:31,463 --> 00:52:40,407
Yeah, yeah, no shit. No, this is this is one of those things where they had to hide her it's a it's a it's a opposite red herring.

582
00:52:40,887 --> 00:52:41,847
Yeah.

583
00:52:41,847 --> 00:52:46,168
So like they had to hide her more obvious stuff she would have done.

584
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,119
If that makes sense. But yes, no, it's a cheat. It's a cheat.

585
00:52:50,487 --> 00:52:54,088
Yes, very much so. Okay. Not that I'm mad about it, but I'm just like

586
00:52:54,088 --> 00:52:54,568
It's like...

587
00:52:54,568 --> 00:53:05,672
Like after watching it for not like snap my Blu-ray in half and try to cut my wrist. Um I I was just like, this seems kind of dishonest in a way.

588
00:53:05,672 --> 00:53:05,972
Yeah.

589
00:53:06,327 --> 00:53:21,096
So before we talk about how we like this film or not, we're gonna talk about some of the crew that worked on it and then some trivia. The movie was shot by Mark Irwin, who is a regular for uh David Cronenberg. Sky Shot The Brood.

590
00:53:21,576 --> 00:53:22,280
And fast.

591
00:53:24,199 --> 00:53:30,440
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Scanners, etcetera, etcetera. Uh but he also shot funeral home.

592
00:53:31,639 --> 00:53:32,599
I love

593
00:53:32,599 --> 00:53:38,579
I I knew you were gonna say that.

594
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:43,159
I like I love love funeral home. I'm not exaggerating.

595
00:53:43,159 --> 00:53:47,219
He shot something I've always been curious about, but I've never seen called spat.

596
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,400
Yeah.

597
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:50,099
Wait, is that the

598
00:53:51,079 --> 00:53:52,469
I believe that is the snake.

599
00:53:53,016 --> 00:53:57,096
Oh, it's it's fun for what it is if you like the animal kind of thing.

600
00:53:57,096 --> 00:53:58,536
Yeah, yeah.

601
00:53:58,536 --> 00:54:00,936
Yeah, Peter Fonda, uhhuh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

602
00:54:00,936 --> 00:54:01,896
I'll watch that.

603
00:54:01,896 --> 00:54:05,255
Oliver Reed, oh my gosh, she's amazing. I love Oliver Reed so much.

604
00:54:05,255 --> 00:54:05,976
Always amazing.

605
00:54:06,327 --> 00:54:08,248
Have you ever seen Women in Love?

606
00:54:08,248 --> 00:54:10,407
No, I have not.

607
00:54:10,407 --> 00:54:16,208
I I'm gonna I you probably will never do this, but I just want you to watch Women in Love and then

608
00:54:16,664 --> 00:54:20,264
And then we'll talk. Okay. We'll watch spasms and we'll talk about

609
00:54:20,264 --> 00:54:21,224
Right, right.

610
00:54:21,224 --> 00:54:26,983
Right. Um coincidentally he also shot Fright Night Part Two, so maybe he and the uh composer were buddies.

611
00:54:26,983 --> 00:54:27,463
Oh they

612
00:54:27,463 --> 00:54:34,184
Well, worked for the same studio. But yeah, dude, his career is incredible. Robocop two? Holy shit.

613
00:54:34,711 --> 00:54:40,199
This keeps going. Uh well into the twenty twenty three. Yeah, dude. Amazing.

614
00:54:40,632 --> 00:54:41,831
He's working.

615
00:54:41,831 --> 00:54:45,302
Yeah, it's working it. So trivia, there's some fun trivia here.

616
00:54:45,623 --> 00:54:58,664
The writer, uh Ruth Avragon, apparently was inspired by the articles of real life headhunters of Papua New Guinea, and that's what gave her the idea for the screenplay. Uh this was shot over five weeks.

617
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,679
in spring of nineteen eighty.

618
00:55:00,679 --> 00:55:06,679
That kind of makes sense because a lot of the fashions feel almost late seventies more than eighties.

619
00:55:08,072 --> 00:55:20,552
The gorgeous uh Italian poster has the title Il Killer Della Notte, aka the killer of the night. They didn't translate killer to Assassino, which is funny.

620
00:55:21,559 --> 00:55:22,280
Yeah.

621
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:28,050
I don't know why they did that. It's very cute. Uh so this movie landed itself on the video nasties list.

622
00:55:28,568 --> 00:55:40,519
And I'm not surprised it did, but also if you've read anything about how arbitrary and stupid the video experiences list is, if you look at the VHS tape.

623
00:55:40,728 --> 00:55:55,367
tape the UK VHS tape, you'll see why it was banned. Because much like other films like Unhinged, which are kind of like whatever slashers, it wasn't about the content of the movie. It was about the bloody VHS art.

624
00:55:55,672 --> 00:55:56,391
Right.

625
00:55:56,391 --> 00:56:00,023
But of course the head and the toilet and the other you know. Yeah.

626
00:56:00,503 --> 00:56:02,423
The raspberry sauce.

627
00:56:03,128 --> 00:56:14,215
Oh this is cute. Uh so Rachel Ward said in an interview about b being naked in her older films as she'd wished she'd done it more because it would have helped her career more.

628
00:56:14,423 --> 00:56:22,280
And she advised young starlets to be open to nudity and not be coy if they want to make it. Oh man, that's cynical.

629
00:56:22,615 --> 00:56:23,815
Isn't it?

630
00:56:23,815 --> 00:56:37,735
Wow. I mean it's just true because men suck, but whatever. Jesus. Oh boy. Um the the trivia says on IMDB, the movie draws a lot of influence from an Italy's guilo.

631
00:56:39,159 --> 00:56:40,360
Ha ha ha.

632
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:45,329
So IMDB IMDB could be open source, this this trivia.

633
00:56:45,943 --> 00:56:56,487
Here's my favorite. Here's my favorite. The film has developed a small cult following among slasher fans, according to the Wikipedia website. Folks at home, I'm sorry I'm reading this to you.

634
00:56:56,487 --> 00:57:07,047
There you go. Now real quick though before we end this w whenever, I forgot to mention, I didn't know if you were gonna bring it up. Did you ever see Fortress with with her and

635
00:57:07,047 --> 00:57:08,088
Dude, I love that.

636
00:57:08,536 --> 00:57:14,056
Fortress is amazing. I I wanna put that out there for for Rachel Ward fans out there. You need to check out Fortress as well.

637
00:57:14,056 --> 00:57:23,255
Yeah, dude. That I don't know if that is that still stuck on DVD or has that finally been frickin' Blu-rayed? Um but yeah, either way, check it out. It's really solid.

638
00:57:23,543 --> 00:57:24,456
Very tense.

639
00:57:24,983 --> 00:57:29,543
And because it's Australian, it's fucking insane'cause all Australian movies are.

640
00:57:29,543 --> 00:57:31,463
Yeah.

641
00:57:31,463 --> 00:57:37,784
That's really good. Here's some trivia. I'm glad I read. Rent a cop, nineteen eighty seven, speaking of uh Burt Reynolds.

642
00:57:38,007 --> 00:57:47,016
Uh we also have a killer dressed in the uh motorcycle uniform. Uh the Renta Cop has an amazing villain in it.

643
00:57:47,608 --> 00:57:54,568
I don't like that movie at all. It was very bad. I mean, not even Liza could save that friggin' movie.

644
00:57:54,568 --> 00:57:55,527
Oh Liza.

645
00:57:55,527 --> 00:58:00,088
But the killer in that is James Remar and folks

646
00:58:00,791 --> 00:58:15,304
If you've ever found James Remar attractive, you will love his turn in this movie. He plays a character named Dancer, who is always sweating and dancing in between him trying to kill Liza Manelli. Gorgeous.

647
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,440
And don't forget Dion Warwick is in it as well.

648
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,280
Yes, Dion Warwick of the Psychic Friends Network fame.

649
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,360
Wow, her career fucking sucked.

650
00:58:27,559 --> 00:58:28,179
Poor woman.

651
00:58:28,728 --> 00:58:31,128
Oh boy. Fuck the trivia. Who cares?

652
00:58:32,568 --> 00:58:33,967
Mark is gonna tell us.

653
00:58:34,679 --> 00:58:39,016
how he feels about night school aka terrorized

654
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:49,608
Well, okay, so Night School uh there's like a handful of movies that I remember distinctly the T V spots and wanting to see them so badly and not being able to, and Night School was one of them.

655
00:58:49,847 --> 00:58:56,103
And I remember when I did see it, everyone else in the world had figured out that it was Rachel Ward, but I was actually shocked.

656
00:58:56,407 --> 00:58:57,128
Nice.

657
00:58:57,128 --> 00:59:11,304
To find out in the you know, the first viewing of it. So I thought it was pretty cool, pretty clever. Um, you know, throwing us a well, I guess this is a spoiler too, but uh um a Mrs. Voorhe uh Pamela Voorhees uh spin where the killer's actually female.

658
00:59:11,304 --> 00:59:12,744
I believe you just spoiled that.

659
00:59:12,744 --> 00:59:23,543
I'm sorry. Uh but yeah, I th I thought it was like way fun. It uh yes, it's a slasher. It doesn't have a high body count, but I think it's a ton of fun for what it is.

660
00:59:24,295 --> 00:59:34,135
I really do wish that they could have somehow at least maybe like a TV movie of the facts of life mashed with night school.

661
00:59:34,135 --> 00:59:35,335
Ooh, that would have been gorgeous.

662
00:59:35,815 --> 00:59:37,255
And the killer would have been Joe.

663
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,039
Because it's just a little bit more.

664
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:40,519
Hello.

665
00:59:42,088 --> 00:59:50,168
I w I I just the like just when you put a bunch of women, girls together and and they're in peril and they look really good being in peril.

666
00:59:50,391 --> 01:00:05,032
Um, they have good hair and great clothes and it's a lot of fun. And it's just the weirdest premise ever. Like it's just so strange. I'm I love you so much that I'm gonna kill everyone who kind of looks at you, but I didn't come up with this on my own. I based it on a Papua New Guinea.

667
01:00:06,231 --> 01:00:09,351
You don't get that in every in every slash shirt.

668
01:00:09,351 --> 01:00:17,063
I don't blame her for wanting to kill these women. I mean, they were all potential mates for her stupid ass horny husband, so

669
01:00:17,063 --> 01:00:28,679
Oh yeah, no. Well as long as he well, uh I say, you know, as long as he looks like that. Like I wouldn't do it just for any man, but if he looks like Kelsey Grammar, then yeah, bet you're going down.

670
01:00:28,679 --> 01:00:30,869
Is is Kelsey Grammar another one of your crushes?

671
01:00:31,096 --> 01:00:32,775
Not at all. No.

672
01:00:32,775 --> 01:00:36,615
I was making sure he wasn't in the Rogues gallery with uh Freaking time.

673
01:00:36,615 --> 01:00:41,416
Dan Haggerty. Like if you looked at Dan Haggerty, yeah. Dan Haggerty, I would cut you.

674
01:00:43,639 --> 01:00:44,599
Okay.

675
01:00:44,599 --> 01:00:47,239
Walt, start growing that beard out, son. Oh he died.

676
01:00:48,344 --> 01:00:50,503
I mean it needs to be bigger. It needs

677
01:00:50,503 --> 01:01:03,224
Bigger, it's a really big beard. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. No, I think it's fun. Uh you know, especially if you're like at all uh uh a slasher fan and you somehow have missed this one. Shame on you, you need to rectify that right away.

678
01:01:03,351 --> 01:01:04,903
Damn. I agree.

679
01:01:05,463 --> 01:01:07,143
Now Richard, how do you feel about it?

680
01:01:07,143 --> 01:01:15,543
So one of the things I meant to mention, but I didn't was the editing on this because um because this is a beautiful movie. The cinematography is incredible. That

681
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:22,599
Soft focus shit, but also the editing is super solid. Uh, this is edited by Robert M. Raitano.

682
01:01:22,871 --> 01:01:34,983
who was an editor up until I guess he retired in twenty seventeen. But he edited the shit out of this, especially in the shower scene. The um sound design

683
01:01:35,416 --> 01:01:48,807
And the music and the way it's cut as the killer, who we think is the killer sneaking up on Rachel Ward in the shower. Unreal. Unreal. They nailed that shit. It's so good. This editor was maybe buddies with Steve Martin.

684
01:01:50,231 --> 01:01:51,431
Okay.

685
01:01:51,431 --> 01:01:55,271
Edited both my blue heaven, which is fucking terrible.

686
01:01:55,992 --> 01:01:59,632
And he edited mixed nuts, which is absolutely awesome.

687
01:02:00,311 --> 01:02:01,288
That's a no.

688
01:02:01,911 --> 01:02:05,512
No, just nuts is Barbara Streisand. Mixed nuts is a different one. Okay.

689
01:02:05,512 --> 01:02:14,711
Yes, this is this is Barbara Streisand's mixed nuts, but she's not in it. No, um America's treasure who was gone way too soon. Madeline Kahn.

690
01:02:14,711 --> 01:02:17,351
Oh my gosh, I love her so much.

691
01:02:17,351 --> 01:02:19,992
Dude, she's amazing and makes nuts. It's perfect.

692
01:02:20,728 --> 01:02:21,447
To me,

693
01:02:21,447 --> 01:02:24,327
One of my favorite roles is uh high anxiety.

694
01:02:24,327 --> 01:02:24,887
Oh, she's in

695
01:02:25,943 --> 01:02:38,407
She's incredible. But yes, the editing is amazing. Uh but yeah, the movie is just way better than it should be for a nineteen eighty one slasher. Um I wonder how much this director really wanted to do this, but either way he brought it.

696
01:02:38,519 --> 01:02:42,599
Um we cannot state enough how Giallo like this feels.

697
01:02:42,871 --> 01:02:57,255
Oh yeah. It's also super dynamic. Um it's like another favorite of mine from the period. It reminds me of this one. He knows you're alone. I think if you paired this with He Knows You're Alone, you'd have a good time.

698
01:02:57,719 --> 01:03:05,159
I okay, now to me I also would throw in when a stranger calls, just for the kind of cop procedural.

699
01:03:05,159 --> 01:03:07,800
Yeah, absolutely. That was a great movie.

700
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,960
Well I like yours. I like yours a lot.

701
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:23,751
Well thank you. I I hate I and I believe I talked about this with Simon on our uh When a Stranger Calls Back episode. I never liked that oh the movie's only good for the first fifteen minutes and then it's blah. And I I love the whole movie.

702
01:03:24,152 --> 01:03:27,751
But I'll watch Charles Derning do his frickin' laundry. He was awesome.

703
01:03:27,751 --> 01:03:29,911
Did you ever see his John Wayne Gacy?

704
01:03:31,112 --> 01:03:33,512
Oh my, you need to see that.

705
01:03:33,512 --> 01:03:35,192
Charles D.

706
01:03:35,192 --> 01:03:35,911
Yeah.

707
01:03:35,911 --> 01:03:37,112
As John Wayne Gates.

708
01:03:37,592 --> 01:03:37,942
Yeah.

709
01:03:38,423 --> 01:03:41,543
I will watch that. I will seek that out and watch that. Thank you. That's

710
01:03:41,543 --> 01:03:42,503
Mm-hmm.

711
01:03:42,503 --> 01:03:52,563
Really good. Wow. Uh but yeah, this like uh this is a dynamic film. If I didn't s I'll cut all this if I already said this. Uh this movie's very dynamic to me. It keeps moving to different locations.

712
01:03:53,271 --> 01:04:05,751
So it never feels cheap or anything. It's really, really great. Um the dream the dreaminess of the nighttime shots of the streets is wonderful. Uh but yeah, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this one.

713
01:04:06,231 --> 01:04:08,391
Love it. Recommended. Highly recommended.

714
01:04:08,391 --> 01:04:13,431
Highly recommended. I so we say that night school passes.

715
01:04:14,391 --> 01:04:20,231
It's an A plus. It gets a sleeping with the teacher extra credit bonus.

716
01:04:20,231 --> 01:04:23,112
Bonus.

717
01:04:23,112 --> 01:04:34,583
So before I let you ski daddle out of here, Mark, um, what is a recently seen and loved film that you watched? It can be an old favorite or a first time watch. What do you got?

718
01:04:34,583 --> 01:04:42,503
So you keep having me on here, and I have to stress that I'm probably the oldest co-host by like twenty years on everyone else.

719
01:04:42,503 --> 01:04:44,943
You're the you're the youngest at heart. How about that?

720
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:54,260
But so the one I want to talk about, it's called Terror in the Isles. Oh, yeah. It is 1984.

721
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:02,887
Hard to say. It's not a documentary. What they really have done is the director has stuck a bunch of like

722
01:05:03,447 --> 01:05:12,871
Clips from horror movies, rapid fire pace. Like the editing on this is amazing to me. Yes. Um, and it's set in a movie theater and you have Donald Pleasant.

723
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:22,800
Halloween fame and um Nancy oh my gosh, it's gone from my mind. Alan, thank you. Nancy Allen from like Carrie and uh

724
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:34,208
uh blowout and dress to kill. Um and they're basically just commenting on the films that they're watching and the effect they have on the audience and society and things like that.

725
01:05:35,168 --> 01:05:40,057
I stumbled upon this at like a video rental store as a teen and it was just

726
01:05:40,576 --> 01:05:53,552
uh some of these movies in it I didn't know of. Right. So it became like my Bible to like find all the films in this movie. And as a horror fan, as a is a young budding horror fan,

727
01:05:53,760 --> 01:06:00,719
This movie meant so much to me. Um, and I I know it sounds lame because it's just a bunch of clips of movies struck together.

728
01:06:00,719 --> 01:06:01,199
Yeah.

729
01:06:01,199 --> 01:06:06,079
But I still to this day love this thing. I love it so much. Um, as a matter of fact

730
01:06:06,431 --> 01:06:19,311
I got rid of, you know, my movies from when I moved from the States and I came over here and I found one and I purchased it, not knowing, because they don't tell you anything in the Netherlands, that it's region A. And my husband loves me so much.

731
01:06:19,552 --> 01:06:29,487
that he bought me a region free player just so I could watch uh Terror in the Isles. Yeah. I I love the movie so much. And I know nowadays they're like, well gosh, you

732
01:06:29,487 --> 01:06:29,967
Look it up.

733
01:06:29,967 --> 01:06:30,927
Online or blah blah blah.

734
01:06:30,927 --> 01:06:31,407
Fuck that.

735
01:06:31,407 --> 01:06:41,648
But back then it just meant the world to me. And there's actually two versions. They included the made for uh television version as well, where they cut some things out and added in other

736
01:06:42,239 --> 01:06:43,199
I need to get that.

737
01:06:43,679 --> 01:06:49,920
I love Tear in the Isles so much. I know I'm lame. I'll wear the big giant L, but it's so cool.

738
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:50,590
Mm.

739
01:06:51,615 --> 01:06:56,784
So, you know, you've got a few you you don't have as many years on me as you do other people.

740
01:06:57,376 --> 01:07:12,688
You are you are not we're closer in age than than I think everybody else who co hosts here. I found that to be utterly essential as a as a kid. So when I was like Eleven or twelve, maybe thirteen ish.

741
01:07:13,407 --> 01:07:24,378
is when I saw Stephen King's World of Horror, aka uh This Is Horror. It aired on MTV and it was a they spread it out over a few weeks.

742
01:07:24,992 --> 01:07:25,903
And it was just

743
01:07:26,367 --> 01:07:32,784
Hey kids, horror is the greatest thing that's ever happened. Go to your rec your your VHS store and rent everything.

744
01:07:33,184 --> 01:07:45,327
And one of the first things I rented was Evil Dead two, and maybe like the second thing I rented was Terror in the Isles. And I also sought out everything in Terror in the Isles.

745
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:53,615
For instance, having my frickin' brain melted and shocked into submission by Miss 45.

746
01:07:54,896 --> 01:08:00,416
Now if it wasn't for Terror in the Isles, I wouldn't have gotten to Miss Forty Five for years.

747
01:08:01,472 --> 01:08:11,728
Like years and years. It would have taken me years. But because that movie made such a great case for it, I was there having my frickin' brain destroyed and just like'cause it's such a shocking movie.

748
01:08:13,072 --> 01:08:17,372
for sexual violence and then you feel nothing

749
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:18,671
But pity.

750
01:08:19,104 --> 01:08:24,463
And pathos for the main girl, for Zoe, what was that actress's name?

751
01:08:24,832 --> 01:08:38,032
I can't remember. But um she's incredible and she's it's such a you feel like her plight and you totally are cheering when she's killing these frickin' horrible men. Yeah. But then she starts murdering.

752
01:08:38,032 --> 01:08:39,032
Every one.

753
01:08:39,488 --> 01:08:42,608
And you're like Lady, stop. You got we got it. But it's

754
01:08:42,608 --> 01:08:44,047
Just as a nun on top of that.

755
01:08:44,047 --> 01:08:54,238
Oh my god, that's one of the most iconic things ever. When my band we were stealing uh images from things for our flyers, my old band, uh called Ladies of Death Row swimsuit calendar.

756
01:08:55,216 --> 01:09:02,235
One of our very first flyers was that that lipstick nun with the gun. That was one of our very first flyers.

757
01:09:02,783 --> 01:09:03,470
True story.

758
01:09:03,904 --> 01:09:08,703
But uh yeah, man, no, I love it. You're not lame at all. You're fucking cool as shit. You have to deal with that.

759
01:09:08,703 --> 01:09:13,503
Thank you. You're welcome. Yeah. No. I'm just telling you folks. It's out there. It exists. You need to find it.

760
01:09:13,503 --> 01:09:21,728
Do it. Plus Nancy Allen hanging out with frickin' Donald Pleasants. What They should have done a a detective show together.

761
01:09:22,448 --> 01:09:35,631
Like he was a retired detective from Scotland Yard who who moved to uh LA or something for no reason and then she's uh a reporter and they're solving mysteries together. Come on.

762
01:09:36,239 --> 01:09:36,960
And it would be like,

763
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:41,279
Yeah, like Cagney and Lacey would be like Shanks and Magoo or something like that.

764
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:48,939
Shanks and Magoo. Oh my okay, folks, I know AI sucks, but use AI to make the trailer for Shanks and Magoo.

765
01:09:49,199 --> 01:09:49,920
Yeah.

766
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:58,079
No wait, don't use AI, it sucks. But uh my pick in honor of our fallen hero, uh Wings Hauser, who just passed away.

767
01:09:58,079 --> 01:10:00,000
Oh, I know. That was heartbreaking.

768
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,100
Man, sucks.

769
01:10:01,551 --> 01:10:03,231
I love me some wings.

770
01:10:03,231 --> 01:10:10,671
Like totally. Mutant is is the my favorite wings movie. So I picked two that were easily available on Tubi.

771
01:10:11,887 --> 01:10:17,695
Uh one is called No Safe Haven, uh which is I did not care for that one. It's fine.

772
01:10:18,095 --> 01:10:30,576
uh but the one that I watched that I immediately ordered on Blu-ray afterwards is called LA Bounty. It is from nineteen eighty nine and it stars Wings Hauser as the villain, of course.

773
01:10:31,935 --> 01:10:42,239
Sybil Danning as Ruger, the monosyllabic uh badass macho lady um who's getting vengeance.

774
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:44,640
Ha ha

775
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:51,760
Folks, check out LA Bounty. It's insane. According to the trivia, Sybil Danning, who co wrote this.

776
01:10:52,576 --> 01:11:00,960
Only wanted to say she wanted to say nothing. She wanted to do the part mute, but they made her so but she only says like thirty words in the entire film.

777
01:11:02,448 --> 01:11:03,648
Weird.

778
01:11:03,648 --> 01:11:11,807
Uh uh it's directed by someone named Wirth Keeter, who did a bunch of uh Mighty Morph and Power Rangers episodes.

779
01:11:11,807 --> 01:11:12,768
That's amazing.

780
01:11:12,768 --> 01:11:18,880
Not a bunch, but oh he did he did their Halloween monster bash special, which sounds fascinating.

781
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:31,279
Oh he did a lot. Okay folks, I take it back. He did a shitload of Power Rangers stuff. Anyway, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans will be pleased to know that he did a bunch of their stuff. I can't find anything else that he's done that I've seen.

782
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:31,920
Bye.

783
01:11:32,336 --> 01:11:37,376
Either way, it's over the top, silly action shit, it's so fun. Do it.

784
01:11:37,872 --> 01:11:43,743
That's great. Now I think my favorite Wingshauser would have been Vice Squad. I love him in Vice Squad.

785
01:11:43,743 --> 01:11:45,663
Absolutely. I just

786
01:11:45,663 --> 01:11:47,104
Yeah.

787
01:11:47,104 --> 01:12:01,328
Um I just sold um my this is very strange. I just sold like last year my only laserdisc. I had one laserdisc and it was a Japanese Laser Disc of Vice Squad.

788
01:12:01,807 --> 01:12:03,247
And I sold it to Gary.

789
01:12:03,792 --> 01:12:13,872
Uh shout out to Gary. Uh he is a fine podcaster. He was just on the show not too long ago. Let me go find it. He was on the Amityville two episode.

790
01:12:13,872 --> 01:12:16,992
Which I found that on Blu-ray over here. I was so excited.

791
01:12:17,872 --> 01:12:23,391
I'm so sorry. I always get Charles Derning and Brian Denih confused.

792
01:12:23,391 --> 01:12:24,591
Of course you do.

793
01:12:25,072 --> 01:12:27,712
And he's the one that played John Wingacy.

794
01:12:27,712 --> 01:12:28,391
Okay, folks.

795
01:12:29,072 --> 01:12:31,712
That's amazing. I still want to watch that.

796
01:12:31,712 --> 01:12:33,152
I always get those two confused.

797
01:12:33,152 --> 01:12:34,112
That was awesome.

798
01:12:34,112 --> 01:12:34,832
Okay.

799
01:12:34,832 --> 01:12:42,702
Charles Derning of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas fame, even though his par his part in the movie is too small. He's a pivotal role in the movie.

800
01:12:43,503 --> 01:12:54,944
There are two movies that had a big effect on Little Gay Mark. That one and American Werewolf in London. Those both of those proved that yes, I prefer men over women. Right.

801
01:12:55,408 --> 01:13:04,768
Uh shout out to Gary who who I uh provided. He he uh happily bought Vice Squad from me, Gary of Cinema Beef Podcast.

802
01:13:05,296 --> 01:13:16,768
AKA The Butcher Shop. Make sure you check out uh Gary's show. It's frickin' incredible. And check out he and I talking about Amityville 2 not too long ago in the doomed show feed.

803
01:13:17,231 --> 01:13:30,912
Do we have to do that? But Mark, we have to stop we have to stop talking eventually. And that now is that time. But would you like to say goodbye to our audience? Would that be something you would do with the understanding that you'll be back?

804
