Staff Meeting: Halloween Horror Hangout

[00:00:04] Speaker A: Welcome, listener, to the return slot. Oh, we got a special guest. Wait, this is a special meeting? [00:00:12] Speaker B: They're not supposed to do that. [00:00:14] Speaker A: No, yeah, no, that's perfectly. [00:00:16] Speaker C: She's. [00:00:16] Speaker A: She is improving. Voice of the podcast. You literally just heard her voice just moments ago. Special staff meeting episode. Molly, you're joining us in the basement with me, Michelangelo and Mickey. It's so nice to have you with us this evening. [00:00:32] Speaker B: Me, Michelangelo, and Mickey. [00:00:34] Speaker A: You guys, all M's. All the M's together. So. Okay. Staff meeting episode. We just closed down the video store. We have a very fun event tonight. Oh, yeah, you can. So this is. This is. We've did. We've did a previous episode, our summer horror hangout. And this is a similar nature, but it's autumn and it's. It's the Halloween season, so we're going to do the same thing again. We're going to screen a movie in your. What is it, your courtyard? Is that what you call it? [00:01:04] Speaker C: You know, I wouldn't call it a courtyard. I'd call it a. I'd call it a back porch hang space. And we're going to put up the big screen. We're going to project, we're going to bring up. We're going to invite some people that can pass certain questions, come through a little trivia, test their Halloween knowledge, their autumnal brain. And if they can get in, they can get in. But I have a feeling it's probably just three of us. [00:01:32] Speaker B: Sounds really fun. Thanks for the invite. [00:01:34] Speaker C: Test all of our friends to come hang out with us. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Molly and Mickey do this thing. They live in an old mansion that is now apt. [00:01:42] Speaker C: Haunted. Haunted. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Haunted. Definitely haunted. Listen to old episodes where we talk about their haunted mansion that they live in. And they have this amazing outdoor area where they do screenings and big events. Um, and it's a lot of fun. So I spent today. I don't know if you saw. I spent today, raked all the leaves that were out there, and I put them into those, like, Halloween leave bags, which are way too expensive now. [00:02:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:09] Speaker A: Don't you agree? Like, they used to be. It was. It was a thing we had. Like, I grew up, like, relatively poor, and my dad never spent any money on anything nice. But we had those Halloween bags because I think they were cheap. But now they're expensive. And that's crazy, right? [00:02:24] Speaker C: Yeah, no, we never had that. My parents did not do the house. I. I saw many neighbors who did it, but it kind of felt like, like maybe my parents were just not in the spirit when we did jack O lanterns and things like that, but never the bags. [00:02:38] Speaker B: I mean, also pretty smart. Pretty smart. [00:02:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Right? [00:02:42] Speaker B: Pretty. [00:02:43] Speaker C: I love it. [00:02:43] Speaker B: Pretty smart. [00:02:44] Speaker C: It will get saves kids. [00:02:45] Speaker B: Guys, bag the leaves. Let's make them into pumpkins. [00:02:49] Speaker C: I also feel like probably at some point kids were like, during the Halloween season thinking, like, I'm going to carve this trash bag to a jack O lantern. And then, nope, that doesn't work. That's not working. [00:03:00] Speaker B: Nope. Kids are smarter than playing with knives. [00:03:03] Speaker A: That's not good. [00:03:04] Speaker B: Don't do that. [00:03:05] Speaker C: So the parents just purely out of, like, you know, just anger of having to pick up all the leaves that came out of those cuts were like, you know what we're doing? We're petitioning the garbage bag companies slash bags to get. Yeah, those slash bags. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. You. [00:03:20] Speaker C: That's what they're called. [00:03:21] Speaker A: Bags. New company idea. Slash bags. [00:03:24] Speaker C: Yep. Bags with holes cut in them. Bags with giant cuts. [00:03:30] Speaker A: It's gonna take off. It's gonna be huge. So we got that going on. I took your. What's that suit you have with like, all the, the like, cheap stuff on it? I took that suit and I filled it with leaves and made like a scarecrow with like a very pale. What is that suit called? [00:03:48] Speaker C: The one with all the buttons on it. You mean my army dress uniform? [00:03:51] Speaker A: Yes, that thing. [00:03:52] Speaker C: Okay. [00:03:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:57] Speaker C: All those buttons. You get buttons on there. [00:03:59] Speaker A: Whatever. [00:04:03] Speaker B: I thought you were going to say the suit with all the pumpkins on it. And I was about to be pissed. [00:04:07] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, no, no. [00:04:08] Speaker A: We don't mess with his military dress uniform. David has pumpkins suit. So we're all. We, I, I, I got some awesome treats for this evening as well. I got some warm pretzels and beer cheese from the Beer and Cheese Collective in Astoria. Some popcorn balls that I made with Booberry, Captain Crunch, Halloween Crunch and Count Chocula and, uh, ham and cheese finger sandwiches. Because it's apparently a traditional Halloween meal. [00:04:47] Speaker C: Like food. [00:04:48] Speaker A: It's ham and cheese. [00:04:49] Speaker B: Is it really? [00:04:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Campbell for yesterday at lunch, Campbell had. He said it was like, pretzel, ham and cheese. [00:04:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:05:00] Speaker B: And I was very traditional. I said. I'm so sorry is what I said. Yeah. [00:05:09] Speaker A: But we're doing Halloween hangout Jamboree where we gotta, we gotta. We got. We have to pick a movie to watch with everyone this evening. So the setting is. It's a perfect autumn night. It's brisk and breezy. We're gonna have some drinks. What movie are we gonna watch? Right. So we have to, we have to figure that out in the basement at the video store before we head out to your place. So kind of like with the summer picks, I thought it was fun that we started doing, like, can you guess what my pick is? So, Molly, you go first. I would love to hear your first pick and. But, like, maybe give us some clues so we can try to figure out what it is. [00:05:48] Speaker B: Oh, great. Okay. Does it have to be in any certain order? [00:05:52] Speaker A: No, it's just rando order. Yeah, rando order. [00:05:56] Speaker B: Okay, so my first one. Let's just say it is a holiday film. It is a horror film. [00:06:11] Speaker C: Halloween, Halloween, Hocus Pocus. [00:06:15] Speaker B: But not a Halloween film. [00:06:18] Speaker A: Oh, what? [00:06:21] Speaker C: Yeah, but it's holiday. [00:06:23] Speaker A: But it's where we're picking autumnal Halloween type movies. [00:06:32] Speaker C: No, autumnal. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Autumnal. [00:06:36] Speaker C: You know, imovie optical. [00:06:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:40] Speaker B: I mean, we will be watching them with our eyeballs. Yeah. It is a. [00:06:43] Speaker A: Is it a Nightmare Before Christmas? [00:06:45] Speaker B: No, it is not. It is a. I repeat, it is a holiday film. [00:06:51] Speaker A: It's a movie that. [00:06:51] Speaker B: We're not picking horror film. It's not a. It's not a Halloween. [00:06:57] Speaker C: Can I ask a question? [00:06:58] Speaker B: You don't know. [00:07:02] Speaker C: Can I ask a question? [00:07:03] Speaker B: Yeah, what's your question? [00:07:04] Speaker C: Okay, caller, is the holiday Christmas? [00:07:08] Speaker B: It is not. [00:07:10] Speaker A: Is it Thanksgiving? [00:07:11] Speaker B: Yes, it is. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Oh, is it that Thanksgiving slasher? [00:07:15] Speaker B: Are you guessing the movie? [00:07:17] Speaker C: Disgust on your face. I haven't seen it. [00:07:20] Speaker A: I know Patrick Dempsey's in it. [00:07:22] Speaker C: Patrick Dempsey is in it. Yeah, that's correct. [00:07:24] Speaker A: And it's getting Thanksgiving. Eli Roth, like, trailer movie from the Grindhouse Features. Yeah. Okay, so tell me why. Why. Why this? Why this movie? I'm gonna try to keep my mind open to the idea of watching a Thanksgiving movie for a Halloween jamboree celebrity. [00:07:41] Speaker B: You said autumnal, and I thought, what is. What does that mean? First of all, I was like, so, like, a fall movie. What's a fall movie? I mean, you think of, like, Halloween movies, but this one is Thanksgiving, and I appreciate a horror film for Thanksgiving, Purple, Christmas, or Halloween. So I like. I like this. I like the Thanksgiving. [00:08:08] Speaker C: So using the. The Halloween holiday to get excited about the Thanksgiving holiday with a horror film. It's meta. This is meta. This is blowing my mind. [00:08:20] Speaker B: Should Halloween stop at Halloween? [00:08:23] Speaker C: Ah, true. [00:08:25] Speaker A: I agree with you there. I mean, great movie to watch in November. [00:08:29] Speaker B: To extend it. Yeah, if you'd like to extend through November. [00:08:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:34] Speaker C: I mean. I mean. I mean, Halloween really is November's Eve. [00:08:40] Speaker A: Yes. Literally. [00:08:43] Speaker C: Yes. So. [00:08:44] Speaker A: So, hey, like, cool choice. Different. [00:08:50] Speaker B: Yeah, it's real convincing. [00:08:53] Speaker A: Being as positive as I can. [00:08:55] Speaker B: Hey, you don't have to be positive. It's fine. [00:08:58] Speaker A: I'm like, I got problems, you know, I don't want to. I don't want to think about any past Halloween during September through October 31st and then most of November as well. No, that's like. So what's your. What was your experience watching this for the first time? [00:09:18] Speaker B: Do we go to the theater? [00:09:19] Speaker C: Theater with me. [00:09:20] Speaker B: To the theater with our friend Mandy, who you gotta have on here at some point. Yeah, it was just fun. It was a fun watch. [00:09:29] Speaker C: It's. It's a. It's a fun slasher. [00:09:31] Speaker B: It's fun. That's all. [00:09:32] Speaker C: It's fun. Leaning into it. Camp kind of film. I mean, it is. It is fun. It actually was. Was a surprise. And. And at that point, when we saw it, it was a breath of fresh air. [00:09:41] Speaker B: It was a breath of fresh air. You said it. [00:09:43] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [00:09:44] Speaker C: Okay. A breath of fresh autumn air. [00:09:47] Speaker A: That was. Hold on. It was called. It's just called Thanksgiving, right? Yep. [00:09:51] Speaker C: Thanksgiving. [00:09:52] Speaker A: Put that on the list of not going to pick. [00:09:56] Speaker B: Sorry, what was that? [00:09:58] Speaker A: Oh, did you hear? I thought it might. Never mind. Do you have a particular beverage selected to go with this film or a snack or a treat? [00:10:14] Speaker B: Here's the deal. I didn't pair my cocktail to my films. I just paired my cocktail to my tastes. [00:10:20] Speaker A: And what is your spooky cocktail? [00:10:22] Speaker B: And to the ingredients that I had? I'm having a gimlet. [00:10:27] Speaker A: A spooky gimlet. A ghostly gimlet, a ghoulish gimlet. We can call it a goblin. [00:10:33] Speaker B: Let's call it a ghoulish gimlet. [00:10:35] Speaker C: A ghoulish gimlet. [00:10:36] Speaker B: Ghoulish gimlet. What makes it ghoulish? Just. [00:10:40] Speaker A: Oh. [00:10:40] Speaker C: Oh. If you made it kind of green. [00:10:42] Speaker B: Well, that is greenish. [00:10:43] Speaker C: And have you paired it with fried chicken? It could be a gremlet. [00:10:50] Speaker B: Nope. [00:10:50] Speaker A: Oh, I get it. [00:10:51] Speaker C: I get it. Come on. That was. That was pretty. That was like the greatest Molly's. [00:10:57] Speaker B: Hard. [00:10:58] Speaker C: No, that's a hard. [00:10:58] Speaker A: No, that's. No one's speaking truth, so. [00:11:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So unfortunately, I didn't get to theme out the cocktail. I just. Drinking what I like. [00:11:09] Speaker A: That's like very on theme. And it's kind of. It is kind of green. And green is like one of my favorite Halloween colors. Green, purple, orange. That's. That's my order, actually. [00:11:22] Speaker B: I appreciate that. Yeah, I like that. [00:11:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Green, purple reminds me of the witches. You know what I mean? [00:11:28] Speaker B: I Like the purple. [00:11:30] Speaker A: Purple's great. [00:11:31] Speaker B: Black, Purple. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Black is great. I mean, black, of course. Black's, you know, classic, classic all the time. I gotta just quick side note here, Mickey. [00:11:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:44] Speaker A: You have amazing hair. [00:11:46] Speaker C: Yeah, thank you. I do. [00:11:47] Speaker A: Mickey always has amazing hair. You gave yourself a haircut. [00:11:51] Speaker C: Correct. [00:11:52] Speaker A: It looks great. But I will say your, your haircut right now looks like there's a lot of guys getting hair transplants nowadays and they, they go, they do the hairline. [00:12:04] Speaker B: This is what they're going for. [00:12:05] Speaker A: They do the hairline, like unrealistic. It's like. No, you should, like, you just restore where it was. You know, it's, it's, it's, you know, but right now, because it's, it's curled and it's kind, right. Because Mickey has this like beautiful curly hair. Yeah. I can't see like where your hairline. It looks a little bit like you had a hair transplant. Well, when I necessarily. [00:12:24] Speaker C: When I first did the cut, I looked over at Molly and I said, just. Does it look like a toupee? Yes, it looks like it's best because, because here's what's happened, right. In my younger years when I do this cut. [00:12:38] Speaker B: In my younger years, very little hesitation from me. [00:12:43] Speaker C: In my younger years when I would do this cut, I have very black hair, so it would blend naturally because black on black just blends perfectly. But now that I'm so gray, it's like gray where I cut it real short and then black on top. So it looks like I bought a black toupee and just threw it on top of my balding gray hair. You know, my, my little, that ring. [00:13:07] Speaker A: He is. [00:13:07] Speaker B: Okay, first of all, you are not balding. [00:13:10] Speaker C: No, I'm not balding, but it looks so much hair. Like I'm covering up a bald head. [00:13:16] Speaker A: Very thick beard, very thick head of hair, very hairy legs, thick, thick eyebrows. Bare chested, no hairs on the chest. [00:13:24] Speaker C: Not a couple sprigs. I have one couple sprigs. I have one white sprig now. [00:13:30] Speaker A: Oh, no. When the whites show up on your chest, it's like, I kind of, I. [00:13:33] Speaker C: Kind of like it. I like one little white long hair coming out of my chest. [00:13:37] Speaker B: I like to rip it out my teeth. [00:13:44] Speaker A: I love your guys's marriage. Your relationship is wonderful. It's. You just really compliment each other so well. [00:13:50] Speaker C: Rips it out with teeth, uses it for floss. [00:13:55] Speaker A: Let's get back on track. [00:13:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:58] Speaker C: That's the Halloween spooky movie. Thanksgiving. [00:14:01] Speaker A: Yeah. So, Mickey, what's your, what's your first pick. Where? We each have three picks. Mickey. [00:14:07] Speaker B: Do we get clues? Do we get clues? [00:14:09] Speaker A: I'm gonna give you some clues, okay? [00:14:12] Speaker C: An early or no, I should say a mid aughts. 2000s. Remake. Remake. [00:14:22] Speaker A: That's it. Is it Rob Zombies? [00:14:25] Speaker B: No, I have zero guesses. [00:14:28] Speaker A: That's all I get. Give me something. [00:14:30] Speaker C: Give me something. I can give you more. [00:14:32] Speaker A: Is it House on Haunted Hill? No, that might have been 90s. Late 90s. [00:14:36] Speaker C: It was. It was 2005. [00:14:39] Speaker A: Okay. [00:14:39] Speaker C: It was a remake. [00:14:42] Speaker B: House of Wax. [00:14:44] Speaker C: House Wax. [00:14:45] Speaker A: Okay. I've never. This one. This is with Paris Hilton. Yes, yes. [00:14:48] Speaker C: Paris Hilton. [00:14:49] Speaker A: I haven't seen this. [00:14:50] Speaker C: Jared. Jared Padalecki. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Chad Michael Murray. [00:14:53] Speaker C: Chad Michael Murray. Michael Van Holly. John Abrahams. Robert Richard. Directed by. I might botch this name, but directed by Jean E. Colet. Serra. [00:15:06] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:15:06] Speaker B: You pronounced it perfectly. [00:15:08] Speaker C: I'm sure it's probably gonna come back saying that's not my. [00:15:11] Speaker A: But my name. [00:15:13] Speaker C: But. But, yeah. 2005. House of Wax. [00:15:15] Speaker A: Is that one of those Dark Castle movies? Do you know who produced it? Was it. Was it Miramax? Was it New Line? Was it. [00:15:25] Speaker C: I. I don't know. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Wait, why do we care about that? [00:15:29] Speaker C: Because we care about that. [00:15:30] Speaker A: Just curious. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Okay, great. Great, great, great. [00:15:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Talking movies. [00:15:36] Speaker B: Cool. [00:15:37] Speaker A: I don't know if you just. [00:15:37] Speaker C: You might. [00:15:38] Speaker A: You may have just heard. So Ali's out of town, so I had to bring the cats to work, and they're in the basement. So, like, I might have to get up at some point to deal with the cats. Okay, I'll deal with the cats. No, no, you won't. [00:15:52] Speaker C: It was a Warner Brothers Village Roadshow Pictures. Dark Castle Entertainment. [00:15:55] Speaker A: Okay. Dark Castle. [00:15:56] Speaker B: Okay. [00:15:56] Speaker A: It was one of those. [00:15:57] Speaker C: Yeah, it was Dark Castle. [00:15:58] Speaker A: Okay, great. So why. Why this? Why is this a good movie to watch in this particular setting that we find ourselves in? [00:16:07] Speaker B: I mean, House of Wax is great. [00:16:08] Speaker C: So Is not necessarily autumnal. It's kind of. It's generic in its setting. Right. But considering our ages, considering when we all grew up. [00:16:23] Speaker A: I'm younger than both of them. Listener. [00:16:25] Speaker C: Much younger, but only. But only in personality only. [00:16:30] Speaker A: Maturity level. [00:16:32] Speaker B: Mental mature. Immaturity. [00:16:34] Speaker A: Intellect, immaturity are much, much capacity. [00:16:37] Speaker C: But Molly and I recently have just. We've had AMC on 247 letting the movies play. [00:16:43] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:16:43] Speaker C: AMC man background. While we're working or getting stuff done at the house, we've been recently, like, restoring some old floors. And we just let it play. And when House of Wax came on the other day, one that I've seen multiple times. Huge fan of Alicia Cuthbert back in the day. The, the soundtrack, the inside jokes kind of on Paris Hilton. The. [00:17:07] Speaker A: Just the. [00:17:09] Speaker C: So much of it oozes that time period that I'm like, is this the movie that best encapsulates 2005? Is this the movie that says this is kind of what the 2000s wore in that period? The music is incredible. It's like Marilyn Manson, My Chemical Romance, this. Well, the Stooges aren't really that period, but Prodigy, Disturbed, the Deftones. It's like, it's got this just crazy, amazing soundtrack and they're fitting in so many tracks because you know they're going to try to make money off of the soundtrack. But that, but it actually, it's one of those that I don't think I ever really appreciated it. And the time that it came out, I thought it was okay. But the rewatch is. Is excellent because they. They didn't. Digital effects weren't quite there yet. They don't use digital effects too much. You know, some people argue, like the end, they use some crazy digital effects that don't work. But a lot of the practical wax effects are amazing to watch now because it's like they don't do that kind of stuff anymore. Like, they build an entire house out of wax and they're sinking into the floors and it's like there's just this really cool esthetic to it. And it's so 2005. It is so dated, but in a good way. Where it's like this is. It kind of transports you back to that time period. [00:18:32] Speaker A: And it's. It does seem. I haven't seen it, so that's a plus. And it does seem like. I mean, we are in a, like, group setting. Right? So like, you know, it's always. It's always, you know, and we're outside and it's like, you know, you want something rowdy and fun. [00:18:50] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not. [00:18:50] Speaker A: It seems like a rowdy. It seems like the type of movie you throw popcorn at the screen. [00:18:55] Speaker C: Yes, yes. And it is not plot heavy. It is like the plot is in the title. It is people who go to a house of wax, they end up at a house of wax. There is not. There is maybe a three minute period where they do some exposition to give it some flavor, but you don't even need it. No, you just need people running around wax figures. [00:19:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:16] Speaker A: Okay, you. You sold me on a lot of this, but I do have to ask the qu. Is there. Is there a tree? The movie with like or with Orange or. Or red leaves. Is there any optimal vibes at all in it? [00:19:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, she. There's a whole section where she falls through what I would say is a fall covered forest and, you know, gets mud on her shirt. So she has to take off her shirt and then wear a tank top for the rest of the movie. [00:19:46] Speaker A: Oh, I'm in. [00:19:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Just like a white Haynes. A white, like, Haynes tank top. [00:19:56] Speaker B: You know, of course, fully covered. [00:19:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:59] Speaker A: If I really end up liking. Definitely watching this. If we're not watching tonight, I'm definitely watching this on my watch list now for the season. And like, that sounds like a fun Halloween costume. I just. I wear a tank top wig, and I cover myself in mud. That sounds awesome. [00:20:15] Speaker B: And your lips are like cherry red. [00:20:18] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good pick. That's a good pick. [00:20:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:25] Speaker A: All right. [00:20:26] Speaker B: All right, let's see if you have a good pick. [00:20:28] Speaker C: Okay. [00:20:28] Speaker A: Do I? Okay. [00:20:29] Speaker C: Oh, before. Before we move on from me though, I do want to say I'm rocking a local remedies Martin style Lager Oktoberfest to celebrate the season. This is a local brewery from Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Give a shout out to Local Remedy. Keep going strong. Fight the man. Yeah, Keep fighting. As best as your big supporters of Local Remedy, if you want to sponsor the podcast, you can contact me. I'm usually at your place three times a week, so. Yeah. So big cheers to Local Remedy for their killer October fest. And I brought in a bowl full of what we like here. The Reese's Ghosts. [00:21:05] Speaker A: Oh, God, those ghosts are the best ghosts. [00:21:07] Speaker C: So, so freaking good. [00:21:10] Speaker B: So much better. [00:21:11] Speaker A: Ghosts. Did you know. So I didn't know this. So Oktoberfest. I thought all Oktoberfests were Marsins. Right? But I. I just recently discovered there's two types of Oktoberfest beers. Did you know this? No. [00:21:27] Speaker C: Tell me, please. [00:21:28] Speaker A: So there's the fest. There's Fest beers, which are the, like, light, like, pilsners, like, you know, in color, kind of like fruity lighter beers. And then there's the traditional Marzins. Mm. Which are like, you know, the. The bready, heavier, like, like, you taste you. [00:21:47] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. You taste it. [00:21:48] Speaker A: Yeah. You taste it. That sounds great. [00:21:51] Speaker C: It is great. [00:21:53] Speaker A: So, okay. In no particular order, I gotta say, this was very hard for me. That's okay. [00:22:00] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I know. [00:22:00] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:01] Speaker A: Very hard. I have a list here. We're here for you of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. I have 10 that I've picked. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:22:10] Speaker A: All right. [00:22:10] Speaker C: I have. I have Eight. I have eight. [00:22:12] Speaker A: Yeah. So. Okay, so my first. I have three. [00:22:15] Speaker B: The assignment was three. I have three. [00:22:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. So my first pick is a new one. It's from 2020. It stars Sophia Lillis, and it's based off of a German fairy tale. I don't know how you don't have it already. I mean, 2020. [00:22:42] Speaker C: Sophia Lillis. I don't know. I don't know who. Sophia. [00:22:45] Speaker A: Brothers Grimm fairy tale. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:48] Speaker C: Is it Hansel and Gretels? The newest Hansel. That newer Hansel and Gretel thing. [00:22:53] Speaker A: Gretel and Hansel, it's called the Writer did a. They did. I don't know if it was Osgood Perkins who directed it or the writer. [00:23:03] Speaker B: Who's the guy in who's who? [00:23:05] Speaker A: There is no guy. I mean, there's. There are male actors in it, but it stars Sophia Lillis as Gretel. Alice Craig. Cringe. I. She played the Borg on. In the Borg Queen and Star Trek, and then some kid who plays her. You know, it's not a full episode, so I didn't do a ton of research, but, like, it's. It's. It's the. The majority of the film is those two female. [00:23:30] Speaker B: Oh, you know what I'm thinking is the Hansel and Gretel. [00:23:33] Speaker A: Gretel, Gretel action movie with Jimmy Reiner. [00:23:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I was like, isn't. Yeah, that's what I was like. Isn't Jeremy Renner in that? But I didn't. Okay. [00:23:42] Speaker A: Yeah, so they. I think they did a brilliant job calling it Gretel and Hansel because there are so many films out there. Right? [00:23:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:50] Speaker A: So, yes, it's. It's an extremely atmospheric, beautifully. This is. This is the type of movie that is really, like. I think it's. It's. It's a fantastic movie. Movie. I really enjoy it. But it's also like a perfect movie to have as a background movie, like at a bar, at a party for the time of the year, because the visuals are so striking. You're going through. Walking through, though. There's long, beautiful shots of walking through the. The woods in autumn. You know, we got witches, which is like. It's like. It's hard for me to decide what is. What is the embodiment of Halloween? Is it. Is it the Jack O Lantern or the witch going over the moon? You know what I mean? Like what. What is more like iconic in my mind, the. The Jack O Lantern, the pumpkin. The pumpkin patch, or like the witch and the Moon? It's, It's. It's it's. It's kind of like a. I go back and forth with that, but I love this. [00:24:44] Speaker B: Sophia Lillis. We all know Sophia Lillis. [00:24:50] Speaker A: That whole cast of kids in that first in the titles by the name. I didn't really. As a whole, I don't really like the. The. The it they made, but that cast of kids, their chemistry and, and like their acting abilities, amazing. Their performances are fantastic. [00:25:09] Speaker C: It Part one, I think is. Is pretty good. It Part two. [00:25:12] Speaker A: Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's stay on track. So Gretel and Hansel 2020 and I would pair this with. I have a list here for each of my movies. So I would pair this with the female owned brewery in New York called Talea. They make a beer called Festi. It's a Mars and Lager, much like your lager Mickey. And it is. I've never. I've had lots of Marsins and I've never had one this good. This tastes like. It tastes like. It tastes like a foliage and sticks and autumn breeze bottled into a beer. If that sounds interesting to you, this is the beer. [00:25:55] Speaker B: Sticks is what I took from. [00:25:57] Speaker A: That tastes like sticks. It tastes like sticks. Love this beer. [00:26:05] Speaker B: That's what I got. That's what I heard. [00:26:07] Speaker A: So I. This, in my opinion, this isn't my. My front runner. Right. Because this is a movie that I think does require attention. You know, it's. It's a. It's a slow paced, atmospheric film. So it could go either way. It could capture our attention, or we could just be having a good time and this is kind of happening as well. You know, you're like, I need to watch this again. [00:26:32] Speaker B: You get like, caught up for a second and you're like, oh, I really want to rewind it, but I can't, so do it later. [00:26:38] Speaker C: That would be. I would be willing to go down this road with you guys, because I'll go down. But it would be tough for me on a first watch for it to. [00:26:48] Speaker A: Be. [00:26:50] Speaker C: Anything that might journey into the background just because. Yeah. You understand that, right? [00:26:57] Speaker A: I understand. You and I. Yeah, I totally get that. So, like. Yeah, that's why this is why I'm like putting it, like, I think I am going in reverse order, like, of like, what my. [00:27:05] Speaker C: I'm not saying. I'm not saying no. I'm not saying no. I wouldn't do that. [00:27:10] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll wait till we. [00:27:11] Speaker B: This guy doesn't say no. Yeah, he doesn't say no. [00:27:13] Speaker C: I never say no. [00:27:15] Speaker A: Campbell. What? You know, Molly was like, hey, you wanna. You wanna. You wanna get together and you're like, yeah. And then Campbell. That's what I'm saying. [00:27:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, right, right. Doesn't say no. [00:27:27] Speaker C: Didn't say no. Yeah, yeah. [00:27:30] Speaker A: Terrible joke. Edit that out, please. Moving on. [00:27:36] Speaker C: All right, back to Molly. Molly. Bye. Bye. [00:27:38] Speaker A: What is. Okay, number two. Number two possibility. What do we got? [00:27:41] Speaker B: Speaking of going down roads. [00:27:43] Speaker C: Going down roads. [00:27:45] Speaker B: See if you want to go down this road. Going down back in the year of 2001. [00:27:52] Speaker C: Going down a road in 2001. [00:27:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's your first clue. [00:27:58] Speaker C: Wrong turn. [00:27:59] Speaker A: Nope. [00:28:00] Speaker B: 2000, but good guess. 2001. [00:28:03] Speaker C: 2001. 2001. We're going down a road. [00:28:07] Speaker B: We're taking a road trip. [00:28:08] Speaker C: Feels like a slasher. [00:28:11] Speaker A: Oh, Jeepers Creepers. [00:28:13] Speaker B: Yes. [00:28:14] Speaker A: Jeepers Creepers. [00:28:15] Speaker C: Good call, good call. What's the song in Jeepers Creepers? Jeepers. [00:28:21] Speaker A: How'd you leave. [00:28:24] Speaker C: Your screepers? [00:28:25] Speaker A: How'd you get those eyes? [00:28:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:27] Speaker A: Fantastic movie directed by a child molester, unfortunately. [00:28:31] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't know that. [00:28:33] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. It's not so good. [00:28:35] Speaker B: Also written by that. [00:28:36] Speaker C: Well, Jeepers. [00:28:39] Speaker A: There. Justin Long. Amazing. I love Justin Long. Anything with Justin Long's great. Man, what a great pick. So why. Why'd you pick it? [00:28:47] Speaker B: Well, that I was a senior in high school because I think it had to have come out before I graduated. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Class of 01. We're all class of 01. [00:28:56] Speaker B: Yeah. So same age. Rewind the podcast when he said he was younger. He's a liar. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Mentally. Yeah. [00:29:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. And it's just one that I always think about my friend, one of my best friends who I'm still super close with to this day. She and I went and saw it in the movie theater. And then I remember after that movie, we were driving around at night and someone flashed their. Like, turn their lights off behind us. It was, like, creepy, right? It was, like, creepy to, like, get in your car and drive around at night because then you turn the lights off and then nothing. Yeah, yeah. So we were like, oh, my God. Yeah. [00:29:38] Speaker C: You have a. Do you still sometimes ever have a feeling? Does it. Is it a reoccurring, not lingering? No. [00:29:44] Speaker A: Okay. And this friend. [00:29:47] Speaker C: Oh, go ahead. [00:29:48] Speaker A: No, it's just. That's always, like, amazing when you go see a scary movie and then you go out and you're like, oh, no, the thing is gonna happen. Yeah. [00:29:55] Speaker B: Somebody messing with us. Right. But we were like, yeah, yeah. [00:29:59] Speaker A: I wonder if they saw the movie. I'm sure, with you. Right. And then we're like, I'm gonna follow these girls. And. Yeah, yeah. [00:30:06] Speaker B: Bad that I didn't do it to somebody. But I was like, no. [00:30:08] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:30:09] Speaker A: Do you know this is an unsolved mystery episode that, like, the first part of the movie? Like, there's an unsolved mystery episode that is that, like, someone following them and them seeing, like, that whole first sort of section devoid of, like, the monster part of it. Yeah. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Cool. [00:30:29] Speaker C: Yeah. Now, have you seen any of the sequels or just. [00:30:32] Speaker A: No. Okay. Dude, I watched. I watched the. The second one a long time ago, and I did not enjoy it. I'd be curious to revisit it to see if maybe, like, my expectations were just too. Where I was expecting, like, Jeepers Creepers. And it's like. It's like more. [00:30:53] Speaker C: Cheesy Jeepers Sleepers. [00:30:55] Speaker B: Less Jeepers. More creepers. [00:30:59] Speaker C: What? [00:31:00] Speaker A: Hold on. What, Molly? [00:31:02] Speaker B: Less Jeepers, More creepers. [00:31:04] Speaker A: More creepers Sleepers and creepers and creepers. Wow. What a fantastic pick. Do you have a. Do you have a. I guess the. The ghoulish gimlet? [00:31:17] Speaker B: I'm sticking with that. [00:31:19] Speaker A: Pairing it with a ghoulish Ghibli, actually. [00:31:22] Speaker B: If I could put it. Yeah, Candy eyeball. [00:31:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, candy eyeball. Like, it's. It's the chocolate or, like, candy. [00:31:31] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. Like the hard candy eyeball. [00:31:34] Speaker C: Like. [00:31:35] Speaker B: Yeah, the bottom of the glass. [00:31:37] Speaker A: Yeah. That can go in the gimlet and then it can, like. You know what I mean? [00:31:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:31:42] Speaker A: The ghost. [00:31:44] Speaker B: It's a nice little. It's a little treat. It's a trick at first. A little. Yeah, yeah. [00:31:51] Speaker A: That's great. Great pick. [00:31:54] Speaker C: Those eyeballs always get so sticky. [00:31:56] Speaker A: What? [00:31:57] Speaker C: Those, like, hard candy eyeballs. Like, you lick them and they get, like, real sticky, and you, like. It's, like, too much. You don't really want all of it, so you get, like, a sticky. [00:32:05] Speaker B: Are you. You're holding your hand out like it's a big one. [00:32:07] Speaker A: Are you doing a jawbreaker eyeball? [00:32:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I was thinking it was, like, one of the little guys. [00:32:14] Speaker C: I was making a big. [00:32:17] Speaker A: Mickey's. [00:32:20] Speaker C: Eyeball. [00:32:21] Speaker B: I'm sure at this point there are gummy eyeballs. [00:32:23] Speaker C: Yeah, well, they're hollow inside the one I'm talking about. [00:32:26] Speaker A: Oh, dude, I might watch. [00:32:27] Speaker B: Are you?

[00:32:35] Speaker A: Judy Greer. Fantastic. Anyways, what a great pick. Oh, man, this is. This is gonna be Hard. So Mickey number two. [00:32:44] Speaker C: So my next one, you're gonna probably get it right off the hint. But it's a 1998. [00:32:53] Speaker B: Are you laughing because you said right off the hint. [00:32:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I love right off the Nicky Isms. [00:32:57] Speaker B: I don't know what that. [00:32:59] Speaker A: That's not. I was like. [00:33:01] Speaker B: It was like right off the bat. But he. [00:33:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:04] Speaker B: All of a sudden. [00:33:04] Speaker A: Right. [00:33:05] Speaker B: And said right off the hinge. [00:33:07] Speaker A: I knew what you were talking about. But it's a Mickey ism. It's not. Maybe it's an Arkansas thing. [00:33:13] Speaker B: You said ask. [00:33:14] Speaker C: Ask Chad GPT look it up. [00:33:16] Speaker A: They. [00:33:16] Speaker C: They'll tell you right off the hint. Right off the hint. Right off the hint. I didn't say right. [00:33:22] Speaker A: I should say right off the hint. What is this movie? Molly's going to guess right off the hint. [00:33:26] Speaker C: A 1998 sci fi horror directed by the groundbreaking, trailblazing amazing director Robert Rodriguez. Planet no. 1998 Sci fi horror directed by the. [00:33:43] Speaker A: Robert Rodriguez Dustel Dawn. That's not sci fi. Why can't I. I can't think of it. [00:33:56] Speaker C: Josh Hartnett. Wait, I was about to say faculty. [00:34:02] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, the faculties. [00:34:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:04] Speaker B: So I was about to say where did he go? But he just did that faculty other film. What's it called? [00:34:09] Speaker C: The one where he's the dad at the serial killer. [00:34:14] Speaker A: Yeah, no, that's. That's the consensus. The faculty. What a. Oh, man. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a great one. [00:34:22] Speaker C: Yeah. Elijah woods in it. You know, you gotta. You gotta pretty select. [00:34:26] Speaker B: Did he go? [00:34:27] Speaker C: Elijah? [00:34:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:30] Speaker A: But he is. He's very active in things. [00:34:35] Speaker B: Also I said, where did Chad Michael Murray go? I know where he went. He's doing a lot of Christmas films. [00:34:40] Speaker C: Yeah, he is actually doing a lot of Christmas films. [00:34:42] Speaker B: I looked him up and he's doing a lot of like Hallmark Christmas. Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna. [00:34:47] Speaker C: Who else was in this movie? [00:34:48] Speaker A: Usher. Usher was in the movie. Yeah. What did he end up doing? New Line would do that. They got. They put Buster Rhymes and Halloween Resurrection and he was the best part of that movie. Busta Rhymes. Halloween. Halloween. Oh, yeah. Trick or treat. But yeah, New Line would do this thing where they would put like music people in their. In their movies. Right. To like get a different demographic. [00:35:18] Speaker B: Jon Stewart. [00:35:19] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean the cast is incredible. Yeah. [00:35:22] Speaker A: Robert Patrick. [00:35:25] Speaker C: BB New. [00:35:26] Speaker A: BB Newworth. [00:35:28] Speaker C: Yeah, she's in it, dude. Piper Laurie. Famkey Jansen. Salma Hayek. That Sean, I guess. Is it Hadassy? [00:35:36] Speaker B: I don't know how to say his last. Actually, I Love him. [00:35:40] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. [00:35:40] Speaker C: He's creepy. So good. [00:35:42] Speaker B: Awesome. [00:35:43] Speaker C: He's great in this movie. He does a lot of stuff. He said, these people, I like them always, like, where did they all go? I'm like, they're. They're doing stuff. They're doing a lot of stuff. They're doing a lot of stuff. [00:35:55] Speaker A: Not, but I will say, not very autumn. But it's like beginning of school year. [00:36:02] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not. It's during the football season, which is autumnal. [00:36:04] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, but I'm saying it's. It's like California. [00:36:08] Speaker C: Watch it again. [00:36:08] Speaker A: You know what I mean? [00:36:09] Speaker C: Watch it again. [00:36:10] Speaker A: I don't think you see any leaves. [00:36:12] Speaker C: Oozes. Oozes. [00:36:17] Speaker B: Actually, Jeepers creepers is not autumnal at all, other than it's just scary. [00:36:21] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. Why didn't you call her out on that? Yeah, come after me, why don't you? [00:36:26] Speaker A: I mean, they're driving and there's driving movies. [00:36:30] Speaker C: There's a lot of drives. [00:36:31] Speaker B: Pretend I didn't say anything. Keep going, Keep going. [00:36:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Making. [00:36:35] Speaker C: No, he sells drugs out of the back of his car. He's so cool. But, and, and so with the faculty. It's a great movie. It'll be nostalgic for a lot of people. It's one that is so underrated as being just a powerhouse sci fi horror of the 90s. I just think the faculty's overlooked too many times. I think it's almost too good. [00:36:56] Speaker A: Oh, I think it's on Criterion right now, actually. [00:36:59] Speaker B: You said it's. [00:37:02] Speaker C: The, the thing I will say is that you're pairing this with instead of snorting Ritalin because I'm not here to advocate that we're going to be snorting Pixie sticks. [00:37:13] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Sweet. You know, love that. [00:37:16] Speaker C: Snorting pixie sticks. And watch the faculty. There was a. [00:37:20] Speaker A: There was a kid I went to elementary school with named Travis. He had blonde, spiky hair. I thought he was the coolest kid ever. And he would take the Smarties, right? Is that what they are? Oh, yeah. Like little pill looking things. And he would crush them on his desk. Crush them and then sniff it. And I was like, this is the coolest kid I have ever met. [00:37:39] Speaker B: See, if I saw that, I would be like, what the is he doing? [00:37:43] Speaker A: You're an intelligent like. [00:37:45] Speaker B: And also, can I, can I have one uncrushed, please? [00:37:50] Speaker A: Yes. Can I just eat it or do I have to. [00:37:52] Speaker B: What's your favorite color of Smarties, by the way? Side note, what's your Favorite color? [00:37:57] Speaker C: Oh, my favorite color. Smarties. I mean pink. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Oh, is there pink? [00:38:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:38:03] Speaker A: I don't know. What other colors are they all. [00:38:04] Speaker B: There's like green, orange. I think they're pastel. [00:38:08] Speaker A: You should do like a Halloween. [00:38:09] Speaker B: I'm gonna say my mind's orange and white. Orange and white. [00:38:11] Speaker A: Orange and white. There you go. [00:38:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Just so you guys see. [00:38:13] Speaker A: But like Smarties to me, like. Like, I love them as a kid, but. But I gotta look this up because I didn't like chocolate as a kid, but they. Their color palette is very like Easter to me. [00:38:25] Speaker C: They are. Marty said. Yeah. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Orange isn't like. Isn't like. I'm gonna. You know, I got one of Ali's knitted jack O lanterns here and it's like. It's not that orange. You write that Halloween orange. You know, but they should do like. I would love like a Halloween line of like. [00:38:39] Speaker B: Guys, guys, there is pink, there is orange, there is yellow, there's purple and. And white. And that's all. [00:38:47] Speaker A: I would like a more vivid, like, it turns my poop that color. [00:38:52] Speaker C: You want like the yellow eyes. [00:38:55] Speaker A: Okay, so that's my. [00:38:57] Speaker C: That's my one. I think it'd be great outside. I think it's like a great. You know, if you like any of the like, Invasion of Body Snatcher stuff. I think it's a cool, for sure high school centric fall set movie. [00:39:10] Speaker A: That. [00:39:10] Speaker C: It's. It's just fun. It's just fun. Elijah Wood delivers such a great performance and everything. [00:39:15] Speaker A: He's great. [00:39:16] Speaker B: When does he not. [00:39:17] Speaker A: Yeah, they should have made. You know what they should do. Remember the book Maniac McGee? The kid, the running kid. He was supposed to star in that movie that got. Never got made. I say we make it and we cast him as like. And he plays the kid. [00:39:32] Speaker C: Perfect, actually. He doesn't age. [00:39:36] Speaker A: Old man. No, he looks. He does look older now. Now, 15 years ago. [00:39:40] Speaker C: You stop that. [00:39:41] Speaker A: He looks. Hey, it's okay. I can't wait. I haven't seen Toxic Avenger, but I am very. Yeah, yeah, make them, Blair.

[00:39:57] Speaker C: Let's see how well I can do right off the hint. [00:39:59] Speaker A: My number two pick. Okay, this technically is not a movie. [00:40:05] Speaker B: Oh, I was gonna do that, but. [00:40:08] Speaker C: I thought this is what this is. [00:40:10] Speaker A: It counts as a movie. I own it. I it on vhs. It's technically a movie. [00:40:17] Speaker B: It's not though. [00:40:18] Speaker A: But so. Yeah, I know, I know. But I had to throw this in it is the two part series premiere. It's feature length series premiere of a television series from the 90s. It premiered October 27, 1995 and was released on VHS in 1996 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. This is not something you're going to find on Blu Ray. [00:40:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:45] Speaker C: It's also not two part anything for series. [00:40:48] Speaker A: It's a two. It's a two. It'S a premiere of a series and it's two episodes smushed into like a feature length hour long block on October 27, 1995. This movie blew my mind when I saw it. I loved it. My mom got it on VHS in the like the shell case and like Indiana. No, no, it's not that. This is. This is. Go ahead. Do you want zero? [00:41:18] Speaker C: Is it a show for tweens or like teens and not really for adolescents and not really for like. It wasn't like an adult series for no. Dramatic. [00:41:28] Speaker A: It's definitely kids. It's definitely. When I think of how that's a big thing with me and Halloween is that I tend to gear more. More towards like spooky fun and less like graphic violence when it comes to my decorations and like the vibes I like to put out for. For Halloween. [00:41:48] Speaker B: I don't know. The suspense is killing me though. [00:41:50] Speaker C: It wouldn't be Halloween town. That feels too early for Halloween town. Okay. [00:41:55] Speaker A: No, and I. I didn't see it when I was. It never captured me. The Halloween town. This. Okay. Carly Beth is our protagonist and she's tired of. Of being scared all the time. So she buys a mask in order to scare the other kids who are bullying her and it goes too far. Okay, I'm just gonna say it's the haunted mask. The haunted mask. Goosebumps. It's Goosebumps. Oh, you've seen. [00:42:24] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, I thought you were gonna rise above. I thought you were going to deliver something really, really profound. I mean, come on. [00:42:32] Speaker A: Of course. [00:42:33] Speaker C: We all watch Goosebumps. [00:42:37] Speaker B: All night. [00:42:37] Speaker C: I love Goosebumps. We all watch Goosebumps. [00:42:40] Speaker A: It's. [00:42:40] Speaker C: It's. I. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Speaking of Jeepers Creepers, Justin Long was in this, the series, what they did the first season. He's fantastic. [00:42:47] Speaker C: All I'm saying was, was that it was so obvious, I didn't even guess it. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Bringing me a cocktail. Thank you, Jax. [00:42:54] Speaker C: It was such an obvious. [00:42:55] Speaker A: Delivering a cocktail. [00:42:57] Speaker C: It was such an obvious statement that I didn't even think to guess that because of course. [00:43:03] Speaker A: Goosebumps. [00:43:04] Speaker C: No, it's a great. It's a great pick. I appreciate the Pick I. It might be my front winner at this point because I. I love goosebumps so much. [00:43:11] Speaker A: Why I think it's a good idea, right, Is that obviously it oozes Halloween and autumn, right? But it's pretty short. It's relatively short. So it's like we can like. [00:43:21] Speaker B: They're great because they're short. You just like one after the other after the other. [00:43:25] Speaker A: Like, it's. It's. It's. It, It. You know, it's less than an hour, right. Because all those commercial breaks. And I do own a VHS that does have the original air date commercials. So we could watch it with the commercial and then we get to like hang out and have a good time after. Right? So, like, that was my thinking on this. That's like, it's boom. Halloween. Yeah, Boom. Nostalgia. Because of our group. [00:43:54] Speaker C: If they have. If they were to. If there's commercial for the. [00:43:58] Speaker A: Hold on, hold on. I like all these. Take that. Optometal is not a cool word. [00:44:07] Speaker B: You just said it wrong still. [00:44:10] Speaker A: I say it wrong all the time. That's the thing. [00:44:12] Speaker C: I'm doing the judicial system. [00:44:17] Speaker B: Sober. You can't. [00:44:18] Speaker C: No, I. I like this pick. [00:44:20] Speaker B: I will say, I actually love this pick. It's very nostalgic for me. [00:44:24] Speaker C: If there is a commercial for the high C. Slimer. High C, then that puts it over the top for me. [00:44:33] Speaker A: Well, my drink of choice is the slimer. It's a homemade slimer drink that you can booze up or not booze up. So the kids can enjoy it too. Because they're probably, you know. Yeah. [00:44:45] Speaker C: Kids running around goosebumping. I love it. [00:44:47] Speaker A: And for a better measure, I also. Wait, can we make. [00:44:52] Speaker B: Can we. Could we not tell the kids to go around goosebumping Because I like my kids. [00:44:57] Speaker C: I like my kids goosebumping. I like them goosen. I like them bumping. [00:45:01] Speaker B: I don't want to have to mom that hard. [00:45:02] Speaker A: You know, I did make some homemade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cream pies. It's a great name, isn't it? [00:45:17] Speaker C: Anyway. [00:45:20] Speaker A: Our. [00:45:23] Speaker C: Or cream pies. [00:45:25] Speaker A: I guess you do drink them. Jesus Christ. Moving on. [00:45:32] Speaker B: Wow. Wow. Yeah. [00:45:34] Speaker A: Third. Third possible option for tonight's screening. What do we got? [00:45:39] Speaker B: Okay, this is my go to that. I always tell people to watch, like a buddy film. Hold on, I gotta. I gotta. I gotta get some more clues. Hold on. [00:45:54] Speaker C: A buddy film. Jason versus Freddy. [00:45:57] Speaker A: No, they're not buddies. [00:46:00] Speaker C: It's a Friday 13th, part seven. [00:46:02] Speaker B: It's a dark. It's kind of a dark comedy. Buddy comedy. Yeah. [00:46:08] Speaker C: Tucker and Dale. Tucker and Dale vs Evil. [00:46:11] Speaker A: Isn't that what we watched for summer Halloween hangout? [00:46:14] Speaker B: No, I don't care. [00:46:15] Speaker C: She does. [00:46:16] Speaker A: I think that's what we watched. [00:46:18] Speaker C: Watch. That is a hard note. That is a hard. [00:46:21] Speaker A: No, I'm pretty sure that's what we watch. [00:46:24] Speaker B: This is always one of my go to's. It will never not be on. [00:46:27] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure we did watch Tucker and Dale. [00:46:29] Speaker A: I love it. Tucker and Dale's great. It's a cloud. Crowd pleaser. It doesn't require none of your attention. Pleaser. [00:46:38] Speaker B: Judicialism. [00:46:40] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, Molly, we're not picking it because I'm. I'm like 99 sure. [00:46:44] Speaker C: I am 100 sure that Molly put up Tucker and Dale. And we all agreed at the end of. [00:46:50] Speaker A: And Dale. [00:46:50] Speaker B: I always put it up. [00:46:52] Speaker A: It's a great pick. [00:46:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:55] Speaker A: What treat. What candy goes with Tucker and Dale. [00:47:02] Speaker C: They don't know. Well, I think they don't know a what? Sour ropes. [00:47:09] Speaker B: Sour ropes. [00:47:10] Speaker C: No, it's got to be. I think it's got to be an, like the kind of candy you get. An old country store. [00:47:15] Speaker B: Oh, I know, I know, I know. Those old can. Yeah. Those old hard candy country store. [00:47:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:47:21] Speaker A: Things. [00:47:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that would work. That would work. I actually think a little eyeball would work for this, too. [00:47:26] Speaker C: Another little eyeball. Consistency is key. You do know, Molly, that he's saying autumnal not optimal. [00:47:41] Speaker B: No, what I hear is optimal. [00:47:44] Speaker C: Yeah, the eyeballs work. [00:47:45] Speaker A: I just assume that I'm saying the wrong thing. That's how. Yeah. Like, I need to talk to my therapist. So Tucker and Dale. Not happening. [00:47:57] Speaker C: It doesn't matter. Wonderful movie. Love it so much. [00:47:59] Speaker A: And also, I would consider that definitely way more of it. It's a. It's a summer. It's a summer movie. It's not Halloween. [00:48:05] Speaker C: Okay. [00:48:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:48:06] Speaker B: All right. [00:48:07] Speaker A: Sorry. [00:48:08] Speaker C: Okay. [00:48:08] Speaker A: I'm sorry. But the vibes are good. It's good. I mean, it's a great. What a great pick. But you won last time with it. You can't. Is that what you're doing? You're trying to win and you're like, I just do the same thing every time. [00:48:19] Speaker B: Why reinvent the wheel? [00:48:22] Speaker C: Yeah. If ain't broke, don't. Yeah. Don't fix it. [00:48:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Right. [00:48:29] Speaker A: Moving on. Okay, if you want to know all of our thoughts on Tucker and Dale, listen to our summer horror hangout episode.

It's not even like. It's like. It's a. I. [00:49:28] Speaker B: Okay, I'm gonna tell you, if you ask me to make a list, it's. [00:49:32] Speaker C: Always gonna be on there. [00:49:33] Speaker A: You're entitled to your opinion. [00:49:35] Speaker B: Exactly right. [00:49:36] Speaker A: And it is a great pick for a summer horror hangout. Mickey. [00:49:42] Speaker C: Okay, final choice. Final choice. Kind of piggybacking on this goose. Goosebumping. I think that my final pick is going to be a 2009 animated ball spooky film that is. We'll say stop motion. No, no, because I want to be careful, because if I give it. If I give away the right hint, Molly will immediately guess it. And if I give away the right hint to you, I know you'll be before Christmas. No. No. Oh, close. But it's. It's stop motion. Coraline. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Oh, Coral. [00:50:24] Speaker A: I've never seen it. I've never seen it. Shut your list forever. [00:50:28] Speaker C: Coraline. [00:50:29] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:50:30] Speaker C: And there are so many reasons. [00:50:31] Speaker B: I know what we're watching. [00:50:32] Speaker C: Let me just say a few reasons why you would want to do Cor. Okay. [00:50:37] Speaker B: We. We do have a story. We have a big connection with this film. [00:50:40] Speaker C: The hue of this film is warm tones, so autumn. Like the table settings to her going out in the garden. It's fall. [00:50:52] Speaker A: It's. [00:50:52] Speaker C: It's cozy. She wears, like, a little rain jacket and rain boots in the. That little coldness. [00:50:59] Speaker A: The. The. [00:51:00] Speaker C: All the characters have the palette of Halloween crispy grizzle. What's that? [00:51:04] Speaker B: It's like a drizzle. You get a little drizzle. [00:51:06] Speaker C: Drizzle. Yeah. It feels a little. It feels a little bit like you want to be under a blanket watching this beautiful animation. [00:51:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:15] Speaker C: I just think that it. It looks like fall, and it's a beautiful story, and it's all age appropriate. [00:51:23] Speaker B: Okay. So I was pregnant with Campbell, our youngest, and we wanted to take Jackson to go see Coraline. And there was Only one movie theater that we could, like. I want to say maybe it was a school night or something. Or 3D. Was it 3D? Okay. So we were trying to go see it in 3D. We have only been to this theater one time, and this was the only one time. It's like 30 minutes from our house. There's a million closer. And we went to go see that. So we took Jackson to go see Coraline. We came home, made dinner. Jackson got in the shower, and my water broke, and then we went to the hospital, and I had Campbell the next morning. [00:52:03] Speaker C: Yeah. So Campbell was born under the. At Coraline. Coraline was the movie that we saw before the birth of our son. And. [00:52:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:14] Speaker C: And what's even neater about it is that in the movie Coraline, she. Her parents have rented a space in an old mansion that has three floors on each floor. [00:52:25] Speaker A: There are you live. [00:52:27] Speaker B: Yeah, just like. [00:52:28] Speaker C: So Campbell that's a little. In his life has been a little Coraline. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Oh. [00:52:33] Speaker C: You know. [00:52:34] Speaker B: Oh. [00:52:34] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:52:36] Speaker C: Or. Or Jackson. Just the kids growing up in this environment. [00:52:39] Speaker A: Like, I haven't seen the movie, but I. I don't. The other mother, she survived trauma or something. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Other mother. [00:52:44] Speaker C: Well, the other mother. [00:52:45] Speaker A: I don't want to ruin. [00:52:46] Speaker B: I don't want to talk about Campbell. [00:52:48] Speaker C: Yeah. The other mother. And I will also say this. Molly and you share something in common. Oh. Which is a fear of spiders. [00:52:55] Speaker A: Oh. [00:52:56] Speaker C: Ew. [00:52:56] Speaker A: I don't even talk about it. Moving on. Moving on. [00:52:59] Speaker B: I don't even want to talk about it, actually. [00:53:00] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:53:01] Speaker A: What do you. What do you. What are you drinking? Drinking with. With this? [00:53:05] Speaker C: Well, in. In a kid friendly stop motion animation film like this, I think the only way to go is straight up hard liquor. I mean, something like a good strong bourbon to warm those cold nights of the fall. Yeah. [00:53:22] Speaker A: Okay. And the kids are. [00:53:26] Speaker C: The kids are getting shooters of Hot Dr. Pepper. [00:53:28] Speaker A: I like it. Hot Dr. Pepper. It's blast from the past. Christopher walken loves hot doctor. Hot Dr. Pepper. I will say, kind of like what you said about Gretel and Hansel. Like, I feel like this is a movie that was gonna, like, like, requires my attention. [00:53:48] Speaker B: You have to. It does require your attention. [00:53:50] Speaker C: I'm hearing a little bit of a no in there. [00:53:52] Speaker B: No feeling. No. No, no, no, no. [00:53:54] Speaker A: A. [00:53:55] Speaker B: It's a no for tonight, but it's a yes for another night. [00:53:59] Speaker A: Yeah. I feel like this is something I'd want to watch intimately with you. [00:54:01] Speaker B: And Molly actually would be a little offended if you tried to Watch it with a bunch of people around. [00:54:06] Speaker C: This film broke my wife's water. So. Yeah, what you're saying Michelangelo give birth. I'm kidding. [00:54:17] Speaker A: Moving on. Okay, this is my. [00:54:20] Speaker C: This is my number. We've decided it's Coraline. No, we don't need to hear your last pick. We decided it's Coraline. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Fair enough. Okay, bye. [00:54:27] Speaker C: No, please. [00:54:28] Speaker A: So I'm surprised we didn't have any crossovers. I have all these extras in case I had crossovers. [00:54:33] Speaker C: I have tons of extras. [00:54:34] Speaker B: I didn't. I had three. [00:54:36] Speaker A: She had three. Granted, two of them aren't Halloween or autumn movies, but still. [00:54:41] Speaker C: Yeah, and one we've already decided on last episode. [00:54:46] Speaker B: Okay, so Thanksgiving is very much that. [00:54:50] Speaker A: Clues. You're right. Clues. 1986. An iconic horror director directs this movie. It's. No. It stars a famous slayer, if you will, of demons. A slayer of. Of. She slays. She slays something evil. And it's based off of a 1985 novel by Diana Henstell. [00:55:24] Speaker B: That does nothing for me. [00:55:26] Speaker A: And the novel's called Friend not doing. [00:55:29] Speaker C: Anything for Me, which is half of. [00:55:31] Speaker A: The title for the movie. [00:55:34] Speaker C: Okay, so friendship. [00:55:35] Speaker B: Friends. [00:55:35] Speaker C: No, no. [00:55:36] Speaker B: Friend. [00:55:38] Speaker A: What year? 1986. [00:55:41] Speaker C: 1986. [00:55:43] Speaker A: Director directed a movie where the director. [00:55:47] Speaker B: Wait, a direct. Directed a movie. [00:55:50] Speaker C: A Wes craven film from 1986 with a slayer and friend. [00:55:56] Speaker A: Half of the title. It's two words. Friend is the. You haven't seen this is what I'm guessing deadly friend. 1986. [00:56:05] Speaker B: He, like, real quick was like, you're not gonna get. [00:56:08] Speaker A: Starring Christy Swanson and Anna Ramsay, who is famous from Goonies. And don't throw mama from the. Or throw mama from the train. [00:56:16] Speaker C: So. Love Christy Swanson. [00:56:17] Speaker A: Yeah, she's great in it. Have you guys seen this? [00:56:21] Speaker C: No. [00:56:22] Speaker A: Okay, so imagine Frankenstein. [00:56:24] Speaker B: Never even heard of it. [00:56:26] Speaker A: Imagine like Frankenstein meets Karate Kid. We got a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles van is in there. It feels like the beginning of the school year. It's a beautiful suburban neighborhood. It might be where they shot Fright Night and the Burbs. It looks like that same lot, but it could be wrong. Victorian houses. We have cutting jack o Lanterns in it. There's trick or treaters in it. A very cute robot that makes sounds like the like Ewoks. And it just. It's. It's just like some crazy gore stuff happening. And it's a very sweet tale about this kid who's kind of like a genius. And he has a robot. And then he's got this next door neighbor who's Christy Swanson. They Move into this new house, right? This kid and his mom. It's like single mom. It's the Karate Kid set up. [00:57:13] Speaker C: It's like, it's like the original Megan. [00:57:16] Speaker A: I haven't. I haven't seen it. [00:57:18] Speaker B: I haven't either. [00:57:18] Speaker A: I'm gonna stay on track. And so this kid and his mom move into this house. He has a grant as this teenager to. For this college, right? Because his is. He's. It's like AI. Right. The computer's like really smart. So Christy Swanson's the girl. She's next door. She's like pretty. And he has a crush on her. But her dad's alcoholic, abusive scumbag. Gotcha. [00:57:40] Speaker C: Gotcha. Yep. [00:57:41] Speaker A: And one night he basically kills her, right? So he takes his robot brain and puts it into her. And then things do not go well, right? It is wild. It is fun. It looks great. It's. I mean, and it's got Halloween. [00:57:57] Speaker B: Do you have to pay attention? [00:57:59] Speaker A: This is. This is like you could throw popcorn at the. At the screen and like have a good time. And like there's. There's something deeper there. Wes Craven kind of like had a more sort of like a romantic romance, sort of like emotional film in mind. And then they were like, no, you got to. To throw in these random violent scenes. And it has. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but it has this one particular moment in it that is on par with some of the best. I don't even want to say it, but like, it's. It is, is. And it comes out of nowhere. It's like, what the. It's like the last, like the last act of the movie is like, okay, no, we got to make this exploitation horror violence. And the whole movie leading up has been like fun. [00:58:45] Speaker B: It's been a trick. [00:58:46] Speaker A: Frankenstein. [00:58:47] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. [00:58:49] Speaker A: Okay. So if we don't. If we don't watch this tonight and that's fine, we gotta. [00:58:54] Speaker C: Sounds. [00:58:55] Speaker A: I'm super excited to talk about this in more detail. [00:58:58] Speaker C: Great. So when did you see this movie? [00:59:00] Speaker A: What's your relationship to it? Last night I. That was your first watch? [00:59:04] Speaker C: Was last night. [00:59:05] Speaker A: Okay. I have heard about this movie forever and I've always put it off. And I had the night of my life and I was. I was drinking. [00:59:18] Speaker B: The night of your life? [00:59:20] Speaker A: I was drinking Half Brow Oktoberfest beer. Of course. They are the traditional Bavarian beer of Oktoberfest. That's what I would pair with it. And oh my God, you know Christy Swanson's blonde. It's a golden. It's a golden, golden male. Yeah. Pilsner. I. I had. I just. I had so much fun, and I was like, I need to talk to somebody about this movie. I need to talk with friends about this movie. And I really think it would engage a lot of us into conversation. So, like, okay, that's. That's my pitch for okay for Deadly Friend. [00:59:57] Speaker B: Pretty goodly French, actually. [00:59:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:59] Speaker C: You kind of convinced me that I really want to see this movie right now. You know, that's the thing about, like, watching something just recently being able to talk about it. It's like I can feel off of your. The joy you got from the film, which is, like. It is one of the things that I just want to, like, if I can foot stomp anything for people, it's like, there's just something really great about immediately watching something and immediately having friends to talk to about it. It is like, one of the greatest joys of going to the movies. I just truly believe that. And, like, because you. [01:00:29] Speaker B: When you. [01:00:30] Speaker C: It's almost like you're on a rush from watching a good film or something that just, like, you know, inspired you. Like, what. Where's this been my whole life? How did I not see this? So I just. I. I, you know, I commend your. Yeah, I commend your passion for it. And you got me feeling pretty good about Deadly Friend. [01:00:47] Speaker A: Okay, so. So, okay, our. These are our options. Thanksgiving, House of Wax. House of Wax, The Faculty. Caroline the Haunted man, the Haunted Mask, Gretel and Hansel, or Deadly Friend. [01:01:10] Speaker C: Okay. [01:01:11] Speaker A: What, Molly, where's your vote? [01:01:13] Speaker B: Well, I'm obviously gonna choose Jeepers Creepers, not just because it's my pick, but also because I think that it is. You can. It can be a background. [01:01:23] Speaker A: Okay. [01:01:24] Speaker B: You know, it could be a background, and you're like, what's up? [01:01:27] Speaker A: I'm just gonna put it out there that I'm not going Jeepers Creepers because of the pedophile. Pedophile angle. [01:01:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I forgot about that already. [01:01:34] Speaker A: Mickey, what do you got? [01:01:35] Speaker C: I'm torn between two, too. I might need just a little assistance here. [01:01:41] Speaker A: Okay. All right. [01:01:43] Speaker C: My feeling is, is that Deadly Friend would be a fun one because. [01:01:49] Speaker B: Yeah, but I want. [01:01:51] Speaker C: I know, but we haven't seen it. And this could be a night of. Of discovering something fun and new. And how this escaped my radar is beyond me. But then I'm also like, screw you guys. I like the faculty. I don't want to watch it. [01:02:08] Speaker B: Actually. The fact. Yeah, the faculty. Okay, so child molester Which I didn't know about, so we're not going to support that. But, yeah, I think the faculty. [01:02:17] Speaker A: If. [01:02:18] Speaker B: If. Unless it's something that we can, like, sit and really pay attention to, in which case I would go deadly friend. [01:02:27] Speaker A: I hear you. I hear you. I think deadly friend is good enough that it'll pull all of our attention, so. And it definitely hits more of a optimal vibe, and it has Halloween faculty. [01:02:44] Speaker C: But, dude, Elijah Wood has wood in his name. [01:02:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:49] Speaker C: Wood is a very autonomous thing. [01:02:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [01:02:54] Speaker C: Hello. I wish that. I wish the viewer could see, like, there's, like, a red. I mean, like, Michelangelo's got red cheeks, and he's kind of laughing, but he's also kind of like, you guys, I don't like coming off of his head. [01:03:07] Speaker B: It's weird. [01:03:08] Speaker A: It's. Listen, we don't need to watch, like, my movie tonight. You know what I mean? Because it's like. Because we're gonna like. It sounds like you guys want to watch it. So, like, I'm gonna have the experience of you guys watching, and then we get to talk to it. Just. It won't be tonight. That's okay. And it's two against one, right? So I'm gonna vote for the haunted mask because it's shorter and it's. [01:03:31] Speaker C: No. [01:03:31] Speaker A: And guess what? You don't get the. The ecto cooler. Cooler. If we're not watching the haunted mask. I made them, but I'll say. Okay, I'm saving them for later. [01:03:40] Speaker C: Okay, I'm changing. I'm changing my vote. I'm going. I'm going with the deadly friend. [01:03:44] Speaker A: Deadly friend Cooler beer. [01:03:47] Speaker B: And it's great. [01:03:48] Speaker A: A cooler beer. [01:03:49] Speaker B: Voodoo brewery. [01:03:50] Speaker C: They do one. Yeah, that's right. [01:03:52] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. [01:03:52] Speaker A: Was it like an ipa? Yes. [01:03:55] Speaker B: No, it's a sour. [01:03:56] Speaker C: It's a sour. [01:03:57] Speaker B: Yes, it is. [01:03:58] Speaker C: It's got lactose. I know that. [01:03:59] Speaker B: Yeah. But it's a source. It's green. [01:04:04] Speaker C: Oh, it makes me sour. Okay, so. [01:04:08] Speaker A: So now that we know we can only have the ecto coolers with. With the haunted mask. Goosebumps. Where. Where are votes? Where are the cream pies? Ecto coolers. Haunted mask. It's short. Then this way we get more time to hang out. [01:04:33] Speaker B: All right, all right. [01:04:37] Speaker C: We're sitting, and we're pumping, and we can always. [01:04:40] Speaker A: You know, we can take a poll when we get there and be like, faculty or haunted mask. [01:04:46] Speaker B: Okay. [01:04:47] Speaker C: No, I actually do think haunted mask would be fun. It's definitely got. It's got the same thing that I would give to faculty which is some nostalgia. [01:04:54] Speaker A: It would. [01:04:54] Speaker C: It's totally autumnal. It's perfect for the season. It's a great way to kick off the. Like our Halloween movie watch. On the. On the porch with the projector. I'm 100 in haunted mask. It is. Let's go. [01:05:08] Speaker A: Fantastic. Thank you, both of you. [01:05:11] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:05:12] Speaker A: I'm talking to my cats right now. Thank you, both of you. I love you so much. They're like. They're getting. They're getting all riled up. It's about. [01:05:19] Speaker B: They're getting ready to eat your face. [01:05:21] Speaker A: Can we head over? Yeah. [01:05:22] Speaker C: Can. Can we go through our notable mentions or. [01:05:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, of course. If you want to, man. Yeah, of course. What are you. [01:05:31] Speaker C: All of these were close. [01:05:34] Speaker A: Okay. [01:05:35] Speaker C: The Village. M. Night Shyamalan. [01:05:37] Speaker A: Dude, that was on my list. Hold on, hold on. Like, I want to do another staff meeting called. I got a name for it here. Hold on. Halloween Hickey. Halloween hickeys. Hold on. Halloween Hickeys. A deadly date night. And I think that would qualify for, like, romantic Halloween autumn movies. Yeah, the. I just rewatched it. Gorgeously shot film. [01:06:09] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so that was one. Obviously, I'm gonna skip over the. I'm gonna go real fast these next two because we've done a whole episode on this. But I do want the listener go back and listen to these episodes because they are really autumnal. They're really fun. That Sleepy Hollow and the Frighteners. We've done episodes on both. Go back and listen to those. And then I have two curveballs that were so close to making it to my top three, but at the end of the day, I just couldn't do it. One was Dead Poet Society. Very autumnal. [01:06:40] Speaker A: You're not wrong there. Just not a different vibe. [01:06:43] Speaker C: It's a lot of sweaters, a lot of fall leaves. [01:06:45] Speaker A: I mean, people, definitely. [01:06:47] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, it's. And then the other one is. Is a not very well known film, but it's a. It's a. It's a personal shout out to Diane Keaton, May she rest in peace. Beautiful soul, amazing human being. And that is Mrs. Sofl, for those who don't know, Mrs. Soful. It's a 1980. It's a 1984 film directed by Gillian Armstrong, set in the magical city of Pittsburgh where Mel Gibson has been convicted and put into the Allegheny County Prison. And this. Ye. And this. I don't think she's a nun, but this. But this Christian woman comes and talks with the prisoners and then agrees basically to break him and his brother out of prison and help them escape. And it's set. It's a period piece set in like the early 1900s in Pittsburgh. And it's shot through fall and winter and it has some of the. It has some pretty cool like, Pittsburgh autumn looking footage. So it's really, it's a really pretty film. And Diane Keaton gives a really. Mrs. Soful. She gives a really. She gives, she always gives great performance. She's amazing. [01:07:56] Speaker B: She gives a soulful. [01:07:57] Speaker C: But. But it's a cool turn because she's, she's the moral, like, compass of it all. She's like the good Christian woman, but at the end of the day, she breaks the brothers out of jail and has a passionate. [01:08:10] Speaker A: You know it. [01:08:11] Speaker C: I'm not going to. That is like in the truck. [01:08:13] Speaker B: Sounds like he's right. [01:08:14] Speaker C: But as a passionate kind of love affair with Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson's before he's weird. So I mean, he may have always. [01:08:21] Speaker A: Been weird, but I recently. On my list of, of movies that I'll go through, it's a. One of them is a Mel Gibson movie. And it's like I watched it with Ali. My partner is Jewish. And it's like, it's, it's. How do you. [01:08:34] Speaker C: It's like he is undeniably good. [01:08:36] Speaker A: He's undeniably a fucking great actor and like a cool, you know, a great director. [01:08:42] Speaker C: Y. [01:08:42] Speaker A: But he's like a. You know, he's done some terrible things. [01:08:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:48] Speaker B: Weirdos. [01:08:48] Speaker C: All to. To even talk about Annie hall, it's like just, you know, it's like. [01:08:54] Speaker A: To get caught saying anti Semitic things and, and, and, and cursing or marrying your adopted daughter. Your adopted daughter. [01:09:07] Speaker C: I will say that we, that we hold it against Mel Gibson much worse than we do Woody Allen. [01:09:11] Speaker A: Woody Allen never had like a hiccup. [01:09:14] Speaker C: No. Kept making hits. He never got put in like. Yeah. In movie jail. [01:09:21] Speaker A: This is on my list. I'm watching it at some point this season. What? Fantastic. Fantastic. I'm gonna bust through mine. [01:09:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:09:28] Speaker A: So the village, we got 1988's Halloween 4. The return of Michael Myers. That's fun. Hangout movie. [01:09:35] Speaker C: Just saw. I, I watched it the other day with Campbell in a hotel room in Philadelphia. [01:09:40] Speaker A: Oh, that's. That's their Halloween 3 didn't work. We got to double down on Halloween. [01:09:45] Speaker B: That's right. [01:09:45] Speaker A: I forgot. [01:09:47] Speaker C: I, I love the little Jamie. The little girl is so good in it. I think she does a really good job as a young actress. [01:09:52] Speaker A: She's great. Yeah. Hack O' lantern, 1988. That is a must. You don't know it. I'm not going to get into it. Okay. Awesome popcorn. 1991. Fantastic. Idle Hands, 1999. [01:10:09] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I remember it. [01:10:10] Speaker A: Just so you know real quick about idle hands. 19. I gotta talk. This is. I watched it recently and I had to talk about this, but. So Jessica Alba's in it, right? And they tart her up. She is a sex object in the movie 16. When she started shooting, it turned 17 during the production, and then Warner Brothers had to wait until she turned 18 to release the film. And I was. Because, like, you know, you. You go back and you watch these movies and you're kind of like. You're watching them and you kind of go in your headset of, like. Because, you know, I was. I was like a teenager when I. When I saw the movie. Like, oh, Jessica Alba, she's so attractive. But you're watching it as like a grown adult now, and you're like, is this creepy? Let me look and see how old she was. Hopefully she's at least 18 years old. And it's like. No, she was. She was 16 and 17 making that movie. [01:10:59] Speaker C: Now, the. The male lead in that. Is that. Who's the. [01:11:04] Speaker A: He was the. You know, the ghost boy. And. [01:11:10] Speaker C: Then. [01:11:10] Speaker B: You guys don't know that. [01:11:12] Speaker A: Final Destination. I'm not into those movies, but the first one I thought, you know, had some good stuff and. [01:11:18] Speaker C: And. And Seth Green, when he was. When he was funny. Yeah, he's great. He's the stoner I love. Yeah. Idle Hands was one I watched a couple times. [01:11:26] Speaker A: It's a good. It's a good crowd movie because, like, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. Hocus Pocus. Hocus. I didn't pick that one. 1993. Hocus pocus because I'd get too horny. [01:11:35] Speaker C: Go listen to the episodes we have. Yeah, there are a number of them out there. [01:11:39] Speaker A: Sleepy Hollow. [01:11:40] Speaker C: You picked that as well? [01:11:41] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm gonna throw a curveball like you did right with Dead Poet Society. Here's my curveball. Mystic Pizza. [01:11:49] Speaker C: Oh, Mystic Pizza. Yeah. Julie Roberts. Big, big like that made her a star. Landed her in the. [01:11:58] Speaker A: In the. Got a small part in it. [01:12:00] Speaker C: Oh, I forgot that. [01:12:01] Speaker A: The Mel Gibson movie. I was talking about Signs. So I've been revisiting the early Shyamalan films, and I gotta tell you, good science. No, it isn't. No, it isn't. [01:12:10] Speaker C: It is good. [01:12:11] Speaker A: No shot. It's well acted. [01:12:13] Speaker C: It's Walking Phoenix. [01:12:14] Speaker A: Performances, great performances. But this. This is You. You. [01:12:19] Speaker B: If you go back, is this one. The little boy has asthma. [01:12:23] Speaker A: Culkin has asthma. [01:12:24] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. [01:12:25] Speaker A: Listen, there. There are elements. The. The arc of this. This is. You see. You watch the Village, you watch Signs. Right? And it's like Sixth Sense. Solid script. [01:12:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:12:35] Speaker A: All the way around. Like, great movie, solid script holds up. Then you. You continue to watch his movies, and you see his, like, hubris. It's like he doesn't know what he's good at. He needed a writing partner to be like, this doesn't make any sense. [01:12:49] Speaker C: You know what I mean? [01:12:50] Speaker A: Let's not get into it. This is gonna be a whole. No, no, no, no. We got it. We have to end this episode. [01:12:57] Speaker C: Silencing me. [01:12:58] Speaker A: End this. We. We have to end. [01:13:00] Speaker B: I. I said I only had three, but I actually did have a fourth one that I didn't mention. [01:13:04] Speaker A: Oh, what's the fourth one? Okay, we're switching gears. What's your fourth one? [01:13:07] Speaker B: Then I added a fifth one while you guys were talking. [01:13:09] Speaker A: Okay, what's four and five for you? [01:13:13] Speaker B: Well, I. I don't know if it's optominal or autom. [01:13:20] Speaker A: Okay. The gimlets have taken effect. [01:13:22] Speaker C: The giblets are hitting wrong. [01:13:24] Speaker B: Baby said chopping mall. [01:13:26] Speaker C: Chopping mall. [01:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:13:29] Speaker B: Put that on in the background and not pay attention. And you could laugh and you can yell and you can make fun of it the whole. [01:13:35] Speaker A: Another. [01:13:36] Speaker C: Another killer robot. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Autumn or Halloween in there at all. [01:13:41] Speaker B: They are so far in the mall at any time. A lot of times it's a fall because it's cold outside. [01:13:47] Speaker C: They're at a chopping mall in fall. [01:13:49] Speaker A: Okay. [01:13:50] Speaker B: Chopping mall in number five. And then I also thought of Children of the Corn. [01:13:55] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:13:56] Speaker B: Which actually had a connection to that. So I was like, oh, because I. [01:14:02] Speaker C: Connection to that. [01:14:02] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Because the director taught at one of the universities. Universities here in Pittsburgh. [01:14:07] Speaker A: On the podcast before. Okay, we. [01:14:09] Speaker C: We should do Children of the Corn. [01:14:11] Speaker B: Yeah, we should. [01:14:12] Speaker C: With Molly as a guest. [01:14:14] Speaker A: We have a whole section. [01:14:16] Speaker C: We could. We could go back to King Tyrion. There's a lot of King Tyrion. [01:14:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:14:21] Speaker B: I remember that one from As a. As a kid. I remember that being, like a Malachi. Children of the Cool. [01:14:29] Speaker A: I remember you vividly describing this movie to me before I had seen it when we were in acting school together, and being like, this is. Your description was better than the movie. I'll say that this is a common theme with Mickey. Mickey's a very talented actor. He's very. Gets very excited about stuff he has a lot of charisma. So when he talks about a movie you haven't seen scene, you, you, you know you want to see it. [01:14:51] Speaker C: And also, I just want to make it. I want to make very clear to the audience that Michelangelo is the exact same. He nearly convinced me to watch Deadly Friend tonight. Like it was the greatest movie in the world. [01:15:01] Speaker B: They sold that movie like pretty hard. [01:15:04] Speaker C: We geek out about watching stuff and we get excited about movies, which I think that if you're a certain listener and you know the ones I'm talking to, that that's, that's why movies mean so much to us. [01:15:16] Speaker A: They. [01:15:18] Speaker B: You can leave. [01:15:19] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Honestly, like, this is not a podcast for everybody. You gotta love movies. You gotta really get into like all kinds of movies. Appreciate them, meet them where they are. You know, it's like best. [01:15:30] Speaker B: Otherwise you can't make it on the patio, right?
