With a variety of shows, Legion Podcasts brings you discussion on the worlds of horror, film and video games from an assortment of perspectives.
Hello, and welcome to the 99th, 99 number episode of The Friday Nightmares Podcast.
It only took us, I don't know, four and a half years to get here, but here we are, we are 99, one off from 100, baby, one off.
We're at the penultimate episode.
This is it.
So if you're joining us for the first time, you gotta go back and listen to all 98 episodes.
For anything we say to make sense.
My name is Heather Powell and I am one half of the premium professional basically special edition.
Anything that you can think of that only releases once in a while, that's The Friday Nightmares Podcast.
And I am from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada.
And with me is Mr.
Smokeshow Crawford, coming to you from the town of Swartz Creek, in the county of Genesee, in the state of Michigan, in the United States of America, in the North American continent, in the Western Hemisphere, on the planet Earth, in the Milky Way Galaxy.
I'm fully vaxxed, boosted, and waxed, and ready to climax.
And if you can, please get me wet and feed me after midnight.
I'm the man with the glorious beard, a.k.a.
the mother of cats, a.k.a.
the man with the humongous ego, a.k.a.
Scott Howzen, a.k.a.
Scotty2Hotty, a.k.a.
Spanky, and of course, like Heather said, one half of the premium podcasting duo that is The Friday Nightmares Podcast.
You won't get any better anywhere else, folks, especially from those dummies of horror, guys.
Yeah, no.
Like, talk about overachievers.
Don't they have, like, 100 and 200 episodes and shit like that?
Honestly.
Yeah, it's like, you know, hard.
When you really like you, like I was just talking about, you know, with Magic the Gathering, when you release too many sets, you burn people out and you just don't want to keep up.
We definitely don't burn anybody out.
So, you know, we release when we feel like it, and we just wait for the we give the people that anticipation.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're like we're like virgins that wait till marriage.
Tim and Daniel fuck on the first date, not even the end of the date.
They're already under the table.
And it's just like Applebee's.
I mean, hell, Tim says hi to me and he puts a finger in my butt.
Yeah.
Gosh, the purity here.
Fuck, like Scott and I have kept ourselves very pure.
100% pure.
Very pure.
Absolutely.
Matt Wood's like, I'm pretty sure others will slut.
Like, I don't know where this is coming from.
But others constantly harassing me online and bothering me.
But 99 episodes.
Oh, yeah, 100% I do.
Well, we've had 99 episodes where we started off very serious.
And horror for dummies.
They won.
Actually, that's not true.
We have done some crossovers with them.
But yeah, it's been 99 episodes of Scott and I.
And when time taking ourselves very pompous and seriously and slowly as time goes on, the truth has come out.
Yeah.
Eventually, our personalities leaked out and we just said, You know what?
Fuck it.
We're just two little trash pandas going through.
That just want attention.
We are.
Every time I see the raccoons going through stuff, it really reminds me of you and I finding more movies to watch.
Yeah, especially you lately, because you are watching everything under the sun where I'm just kind of grabbing what I can when I can.
You know, I'm a I'm a real podcaster, Scott.
That's people like Tim Davis and Rob Humphries of the world.
Just need a role model to look up to.
True.
Same with the Matt Woods.
100 percent.
100 percent.
Like they all have Kate to look up to, but they need someone else to.
You know what I mean?
They need another.
Kate is a strong woman figure.
They also need another strong woman figure.
You know, yeah, that's it.
The queens have to share the crown.
Absolutely.
We're all just passing that crown around.
That's how it is.
Daniel's like, I want a crown.
I mean, Daniel is the top queen of them all.
Honestly, he's the best.
He's the best.
I mean, besides Strong.
I mean, how can you dislike Luffy?
I mean, he's the one that edits and puts the show together for Dummies of Horror.
Without him, he would be lost.
When I think of horror knowledge, I think of Luffy.
100 percent.
You know what I mean?
When I think of quality opinions in horror, I think of him and me, of course.
Of course.
And actually, you know, I just kind of came up with some, this is more just a personal poke at Tim.
You know how they have the Tom Cruise does his own stunts thing that they do over there on their show?
Heather, did you know Luffy produces, edits, and creates Dummies of Horror?
He basically is-
I have no idea.
He's basically the Tom Cruise.
He does his own stunts.
Like, he's not the dummy.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
He's such a role model.
I just wish I could be more like him.
I do too.
But we'll just have to settle for being two basic trash bandas.
Who dig out the finest that Plex and Tubi have to offer.
That's right.
100 percent.
But we'll start it off because we want this to be quick and dirty.
Just like I like my sex life.
No, no.
You're pure, Scott.
Remember, you and Eric are saving yourself.
Like I hope my sex life will be one day.
When someone takes your special flower.
Exactly.
Right.
So we'll jump right into it.
We'll jump right into it with a British film.
Oh boy.
And Matt Wood's not in it.
But he could be.
But he's not.
It's a pretty right wing film.
I don't know.
I feel like Matt's probably like it's super right wing.
You know what I mean?
Like he probably would come over here and be like, you know what?
Trump's got it right.
But this is called The Apocalypse Box.
The Apocalypse Box.
Not everyone holds the key to success.
Piers Stonesmith, right wing politician, like over the top right wing politician.
Keep Britain British is his saying, which is ironic because right now in Britain, there are people that feel that way.
Hashtag thanks America for influencing everybody.
On the election eve, he gathers six strangers to unlock a wish granting box.
Ella, his spin doctor, faces chaos, scandal, and temptation with the mysterious box.
It's ironic because Britain invaded everywhere.
So I find it hilarious that they now want to keep Britain British.
I guess they got nothing else left.
They're like, we've lost all our other places.
Everybody else left us, so might as well do our own thing here.
This is like an escape room gone bad.
Though it's not an escape room.
Basically, the plot line is it of the first lady of this politician is not very popular.
So he's losing the election because no one likes her.
Feel like that's not the problem here, but that's fine.
And they all have this like focus group.
It's put as a focus group, but it's this random box.
It's actually based on my box.
That's put into it.
Oh, boy.
My box put four stuff.
Matt, calm yourself.
Gosh, Matt's so unethical and not pure.
Not like me.
You know what I mean?
No, 100%.
Right?
Honestly, Matt.
But anyway, back to the box.
So they put this box, it looks like a cheap, I don't know, one of those like chests that they got at fucking Value Village or like some re-use store.
And they have this like old school key, and they're tempted to open it.
And when they open it, their wishes come true, but not the wishes they want.
You know, there's a cost to the wishes, Scotty.
Like a be careful what you wish for.
Oh boy.
We've never seen this before.
Never seen it in the Wishmaster series.
Never seen it in the Wish Upon movie that came out.
Very new concept, but yeah.
It's basically about a box that grants wishes that are not what you intend, which is basically my box.
So good God, this movie is not that great.
I really don't recommend anyone watch it.
I'll give people credit for putting together a low budget film.
Maybe the Sander Keynes of the world could appreciate this.
The Jason Grays of the world, again, could appreciate this for what it is.
But, you know, it's going to be on Google Play, Amazon and YouTube.
And well, it's on Tubi for free.
So if you want to watch it for free, it is on Tubi.
It's politically heavy, strong political messages.
So if that's not your thing, I really recommend not watching this.
And a pretty predictable plot.
So yeah, I don't know.
If any of those things are your thing, check it out on Tubi.
Don't check it out anywhere else.
No one else has watched it, you know, but me, because I'm a trendsetter.
And I'm very, very, very, very fancy.
And on a side note, I watched All My Friends Are Dead.
I did enjoy it, Scott.
You watched it.
Well, yeah, because I got about to talk about it in the-
Oh, shit.
Sorry, I didn't realize it was on the list.
Yeah, I put it on the list.
Wait, sorry.
I thought you had watched it before.
No, that was one of the first ones I watched after we recorded.
All right.
Well, do you want to jump to it now, then, and then I'll go back to the other one.
Sure.
Yeah.
So let me bring it up on the letterbox real quick.
But yes, All My Friends Are Dead, which is not to be confused with All My Friends Are Dead from like 2021, the Polish film that was freaking awesome.
That was on Netflix.
Yep.
That was a Netflix one.
This one's on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Prime, and Fandango.
But the synopsis is, actually, let me give you the full title, hashtag AMFAD, All My Friends Are Dead.
A group of college friends rent an Airbnb for the biggest music festival of the year, but their weekend of partying quickly takes a turn as the group is murdered, one by one, in correspondence with the seven deadly sins.
This is also directed by Marcus Dunstan, who I think did the crap drawing a blank at the moment, the collector, the collection, a lot of good, serious slasher films.
And so I was kind of looking forward to it.
I'm like, oh, this could be good then.
And then this came out and I just I immediately messaged Heather going, this this humor is not for me, but it definitely seems like a Heather humor.
I was like, you should watch it.
Let me know what you think.
And then as it continued, I was getting really annoyed at the first half of this film just because of the ridiculous humor and stuff like that.
But then by the last half of the film, it started picking up.
Kills started happening.
Some pretty gruesome ones here and there.
But and ended up having a good time with it.
But it's been two weeks, and I've already forgotten a lot of it.
So it's sitting around a six out of ten for me, where it's obviously just not that memorable for me.
Yeah, I think that's a really good way to describe that.
Jojo Siwa is in this.
I forgot about that.
Jojo Siwa.
Siwa.
And I feel like that's what this movie is riding on.
I don't know.
This is a social medium.
This is a social medium.
This is a social media, you know, critique on bullying, critique on life with a really poorly strung together plot line.
I would agree the kills are decent.
You know, again, I've always been a sucker for these teenage, you know, turn your brain off films.
You know, it's no killer book club, but it's I don't know.
This seemed really annoying.
I kind of called and I feel as though sometimes when you say things like, oh, I called the movie, you know, I get to some point, there's always some plot points.
If you've seen the foreign movies, you know, like professional podcasters like Scott and I have seen.
Like maybe if you weren't like Tim Davis or Rob Humphrey, you know, because we're so, so worldly and these mangers we've come out with so far in this podcast today.
I think you could figure it out, you know, early on you figure out that things aren't what they seem, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so you started talking about it, brought up Jojo Siwa and it just kind of clicked to me.
I'm like, oh, and now I'm remembering other things.
And yeah, I just don't know if I'm just getting old and just starting to suffer from memory loss more or what.
But yeah, this one movies need to be a little better than this to stick with me nowadays.
Like you either got to be absolutely terrible so I can bash on you or you got to be like something stunning that sticks with me.
But this was just kind of in the middle, unfortunately.
Yeah, I agree.
You gave it three stars.
I think actually you probably meant to give that two and a half because I think it's I think if you watch it again, you might.
Well, the kills were good.
Yeah, I was going to say it's yeah, it's about a five point five out of ten, six out of ten for me.
