Yes, we are recording, oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? Somewhere between science and superstition. We have such sites to show you, strange eons. Welcome to strangeeons radio. That is Eric somewhere over there, hello, and that is Vanessa somewhere over there. Hello, and I am Kelly, and we are zooming again, but I think this is the last time we're zooming for a little bit. Yay. So we are so much, so much more fun sitting around the table. It is, yeah, well, we'll be back in person next weekend. I believe. Cool, Eric, I can't help but notice that your the your background, is getting sparser and sparser. Yeah, things are diminishing what what's going on. We are currently in a look into a do, kind of a slow move, but we're moving in with Nina's father. Long time listeners know all the shit that's happened this year. Help with stuff and do good things like that. However, our condo association decided now that we're in the middle of this, Hey, it's a great time to repair our roof. Yeah, which I guess the plus could be. It might add some value to our place, new roof, but cats hate it. It is unbelievably loud. My office is upstairs, so I'm directly below, and I've ever had a roof fix, but it sounds like something's going to break through at any second, because I bring up, like the all the equipment and gear, and just throw it on the roof. Yeah. And then, as they're nailing it in, the roofers decided to do like a shave and a haircut competition or something like one side of the building would one guy would do it. The other side of the building, another guy would do it. And this went on for hours. Oh no, they're largely done with our side, but I did hear them doing it close by again. Are you trained to hit in this pattern? And the bonus joy we got was I was going upstairs to bed at about 1131 night, and I stepped in something cold and wet. And anybody who has cats knows what your first thought probably would be, yeah, I wish it had been cat barf. Oh, it was. Instead, water had leaked into light fixture in our site. Ah, that's not good, yeah, the first thing gotta do is turn off your power, right? And unfortunately, the way our power is hooked up, it basically wipes out what I needed to turn off. Turn off the entire upper floor and half of the downstairs area. The only thing that had power was one bathroom in the kitchen. You know that was nice. Kitchen still had power, right? So the next day, we had three different people come out to look at it, people from the roofers, people from our homeowners association, and I think a second person from the homeowners association, so they concluded it was it turns out it's incredibly isolated, like the ceiling around got a little bit wet, none of the insulation got wet, which is really good. And it as soon as i i took the some of those round bulb kind of lights that stick up in the air. I took the glass part out of that before the inspectors came by and dried it out. Never got wet again. Plus, they managed to always park their garbage bin in front of our parking garage. So, yeah, anytime we had to go any place, they had to move that, run that little magnet thing over everything, to pick up all the screws and nails, and it's like, oh, like a 2030, minute process to go anything. I realized, in many ways, these are first world problems, but they are still a pain. But you live in a first world Oh, that's right, I have a question. Is the was the leak caused by the roofers, or was this something that would have happened, and that's why you needed to have a new roof. It was the timing of it probably had to do with the way the roofing was put in and on pause, because it was after they'd done, like, a day, day and a half of work. And, I mean, we've had roof leak problems before, but we haven't for a few years now. Yeah. They did start at six o'clock in the morning. They do their repairing. Okay? That was, you know, the cat's favorite moments of their lives. Now, is that stuff done? Is the roofing done in our area? I think it's close to done. It's not completely done, because there's still some gutters that are not complete. Well, I asked because, as we are recording this, we are like, a day away from a gigantic wind event. That's great, the king time. You are kind of in the foothills there, where it's supposed to be very, very windy. They're saying, you know, basically, if this was east coast, they'd call it a hurricane, but because we are on the West Coast, they call it a cyclone. So gonna be that bad? Oh yeah, they were saying 7080, mile an hour winds. So no, but probably only where Eric is at. Oh, neat. So gonna be less than that. I think where I'm at more on the coast. I don't know about you, Vanessa, but it looks like a fun time for everybody, though. Yeah, it's good thing I don't live in a seaside town I would be rough. Or you Kelly, yeah. Well, good thing we are recording this today and not tomorrow. No kidding, because they're they're basically saying, Get ready for power outages. So, Oh, I gotta go make sure I got batteries and shit. Oh, gosh, I'm now prepared. Everything posted and edited and posted. Yay weather. Yeah. I have seen some stuff you guys, and I'm looking at it, I'm like, What do I want to talk about? I watched the new Nosferatu with Doug Jones. Oh yeah, not the, not the Robert Eggers version that is coming out next month. It looks like it's going to be spectacular. No, this is an almost shot for shot recreation of the original 1922 silent film with Doug Jones in it, and then a cast of mostly unknowns, some of whom are decent actors, one of whom is horrible, and unfortunately, he is playing the part that we would normally call Jonathan Harker, but he's because this is Nosferatu, he's like Tomas or something like that, or Thomas, regardless, he is a very main character, and he is very, very bad. The few scenes he has with Doug Jones, he kind of pulls it together, probably because Doug has been doing this for so long that you can't help but be elevated when you were acting against somebody who's very good, but the rest of his stuff is bad. And they've also done a couple of weird things where they have him before he gets to count or locks castle. He has a little fling with a village woman, you know, a bar wench, or whatever that would be called back then. But I was like, Oh, this makes him a very unlikeable character. Why did we do this and not really a shot for shot remake? Then at that point, no, no, but they keep it black and white. I think one of the things that I found most interesting was they used elements from the original film. So the horse and carriage ride up to the castle is actually from Nosferatu. I think it sure looked like that to me. I may be completely speaking out of my ass, I don't know. Would not be the first time. What I will say is, this is not a very good film, but it is available if you are a Nusra to completionist like I am, to rent on prime. Wasn't that like a Kickstarter thing years and, like, years and years ago, yes, and in fact, this is the same filmmaker that redid, the Cabinet of Dr Caligari, did the same thing with that. And I think I don't know, was Doug Jones, Dr Calgary in that. I don't know if he was or not, but this is a little more successful than that was at what they're trying to do. I mean, it tells a full story, and I watched it, but this is something you would this is something you would expect to see at a at a film festival, or something like that. It's, it's almost experimental. Ah, weird. Where did you see it again? It's rental. I'm trying, and I am sure it's coming to shutter. So I don't like to say this, but save your money and wait until it's free. Um, well, I watched something that Kelly had previously talked about. Um. Um, the Manhattan abduction. Watch that. Why would How were your dreams the next night? They were, they were just fine. I, you know, I I kind of half watched it, and honestly, it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was going to be. I was sort of like, worried that it was going to give me a lot of creepy thoughts. But mostly I was just really shocked, because I was like, okay, like, I guess we're coming up on some big twist maybe, hmm. And then I realized the series was done. I finished the third episode, and I was like, wait. I thought there was gonna be more to this. It's really short. I think the big twist and spoiler for anybody who might want to watch this is that the woman who is recording this stuff back in 1989 she decides that it's all a hoax and has spent the rest of her life trying to prove this person wrong. I thought like maybe the twist. The twist was that, like they she did the handwriting analysis in the ladies handwriting was exactly the same as, like the two, like men in black or whatever. Because I was like, I guess that's the twist. I mean, you kind of get the sense that she's like, I mean, it sucks that she wrote that letter the other woman, but it is, I felt like maybe this was a slightly half assed documentary, because they only talked to four people, and it just, it felt like there was, it felt really incomplete, and the angle that they specifically took felt so narrow to the topic that I was like, I feel like, you some documentarian. Was like, you know, got enough footage to do something. It's fine, so call it. Case closed. So I was just like, Oh, all right, I guess we're fucking done. All right. Three ups, I would say that, yeah, it could be frustrating that way. I thought it was so gorgeously shot that it was really elevated as a documentary. And maybe they were well shot, yeah, but even the recreations I thought were really like, you know, Blockbuster level special effects and things like that. And maybe that had to be done, because the story was pretty thin. I think that might be it. Because I was just like, Where's where's the rest, Where's the restroom? We're missing something. And like, the kid gets interviewed, and you're like, Oh, he's gonna say some big truth. And it was just like, I'm in therapy. It was bad. Okay, cool, right? I mean, if, if it, if it was all a hoax, it seems like this lady was willing to drive her son a little nutty during this time, just to continue this hoax, which is pretty shitty, but also the the big first piece of evidence, without the fact that there were like 14 witnesses who, apparently were not connected, who all saw this happen. That's that's pretty interesting to me, but the big piece of evidence is this thing that was in her nose, this implant. And I was like, Well, did somebody say, let's cut this out and look at it? I know never, it was never brought up again. And did they at least x rayed a second time ever from a new angle or something. I the only part, part of my big suspicions around the the survivor lady. I don't fully trust her. I do think she might be slightly full of shit, because not only has she been in the performing arts for a hot minute, so she's clearly like, you know, she wants to be in the limelight. She wants to be a famous person. She feels like she missed the boat on that and she she's been in that situation before, but also things like, Oh, I got abducted or assaulted, or, you know, kidnapped or whatever. And they're like, come on over. Come on over. We'll help you. We'll make sure you're safe. And she said, I gotta do my makeup first, then I'll be over. And I was like, I don't fucking trust you at all. Ma'am, if you're like, I just got abducted by aliens, but hold up. I gotta, like, make myself look good before I come over. And it wasn't even like she was coming over to be filmed. It was coming over because she just been through a traumatic thing. I was like, You're full of shit. Well, why do you hate women so much? Vanessa, I know it's a real problem for me. That is called the Manhattan alien abduction. It's on Netflix, correct? Oh, okay, all right, moving to an area different. I'll also say I'm kind of liking this shadow you've got off your side there, Kelly, which looks slightly like a guy in a hat watching you. Oh, it does. Oh, that's really crazy. I didn't need to know that. I like the purple, like magenta spill that's coming up on your lower right. That's, that's pretty good, right? What if? What if I were to do this? Wow. So in the this is still a leftover from the 100 Days viewing where you fall down rabbit holes sometimes, just because, you know, screw it, it's easy, the Jack in the Box movies. Either, have you seen these? No way they look quite bad. Yes, they're British, which generally I really enjoy, British horror films, even the kind of mediocre ones. But this is it so desperately wants to be an art house movie, at least, especially the first one, the the character looks cool as hell. Actually, the Jack in the Box character is really a fairly cool looking killer. The story of what it does changes in every movie. So that's a little weird. There's three of them, yeah, one of them came out this year, and it is, wow, diminishing returns to the extreme. Man it it. First one was fine, but sort of boring. Second one was weird because they changed the rules so much. And the fourth one is just like, oh, wow, please don't do anymore three, sir. That's right, and the counting shall be three. Well, you said the fourth one after the second one. And I was like, Well, Eric just stroked out on live TV. 2024 was when one of them came out. But so yeah, that was not the worst thing I watched, but definitely not a highlight group. So believe they're all on they're all on Amazon, but you don't need that information. So this is not a an art the clown situation where the movies got progressively better because the audience was willing to pay more, okay? And this is not following jack from the restaurant chain, Jack in the Box, which I would I was like a man. I don't know how I missed this, but that would be kind of awesome. His nose is his main killing weapon, or that hat, man, that's pointy book. So, yeah, don't bother. But if people were to bother, what is it called? Again, it's the, I believe it's the jack in the box. And there's three of them. It's just called the jack in the box. Okay, I will not add words after the first one, but you could not be bothered to remember what it I'm writing that down just, you know, it's Amazon. So you finish watching the one, it'll show you the next one. Sure it'll just keep going. That's right, but it's free. Would you like the next mild commercial corruption? I wasn't going to talk about this, but you talked about you like British or Do either of you guys have AMC plus? Yes, okay, Vanessa, you will want to watch this. Then. I talked about this a couple years ago, but it is now available here on AMC plus, and it is the Midwich Cuckoos, yes. Oh, okay, which is, that was a famous book, and that was turned into Village of the Damned. And then just recently, 2022 ish, maybe they turned that into, like, a six episode series in Britain. And I really, really liked it. And I see now that it is available on AMC, plus, so it is updated, so it's not from the 60s, it's taking place in present day. I thought it was really, really good. Are you all right? Vanessa, everything? Okay? I heard my baby cry. Oh, fine. Someone's got her, I'm sure someone, someone else, maybe the dingo got your baby. The Dingo will love her like their own, erase her as one of them. She's very cute. It'll be fine. Um, so I saw we're getting towards the end of the year. So of course, all the big Oscar stuff are coming out, and everyone's sort of last shot at getting something in. So a big one that's being talked about a lot is aniora aura, which is, oh man, yeah. So it's a drama that did really well in the festival circuit. It's about a essentially, like a stripper who speaks a little Russian, and one of the clients asks for a Russian speaking person because they're from Russia. She goes and I. Yeah, they connect, and she starts seeing him outside of the strip joint, and they end up getting married because he wants an American green card, because there's something to do with his family where he doesn't want to go back home. And turns out he's from some big, rich, crazy family who then come out to collect him and tell them that their marriage is not real, but it's mostly following from her perspective, as this really just lower class, non educated, young, beautiful stripper girl who has a lot of gusto. It's a tough it's a tough film. It's, of course, it's a sad film. It's an Oscar movie. So what are you gonna do? But you're really selling this here like it's an Oscar movie, you're gonna feel like shit. What do you want? You know what? You had me with the hot, young stripper, but you lost me with the tears and the sadness. Oh, it's very sad. Yeah, you might not. I don't know if I can really even recommend it to any, any of our viewers who are more genre prone. It's, it's such typical Oscar bait, like, I really liked it because there's a lot of questions around the characters and the decisions and like, why what's happening is happening, and where you end up in the end, there's a big emotional arc, and the acting is incredible. This girl's fucking phenomenal. I don't know where the fuck they found her, but she's great. So, yeah, I think it's N, A O R a, I'm pretty sure Laura, Nora, yeah, and Nora 2024 keep saying, uh, Nora, yeah, I'm say I'm having our fabulous sorry, yeah, a n o r a, okay. A n o r a, yeah, not what you said. What did I say? You started with the N, oh, maybe you cut me off. I don't know. Played the gear I am. I'm gonna blame the internet connection. It's all its fault. Anyway, yeah, anyway, so fun. Oscar film, you times I didn't there was nothing out last week. Heretic hadn't come out. Last it hadn't come out yet, and I was not feeling up to smile too. So I went and saw Nora. I've heard that's quite a bit better than the first one, which, you know, pisses me off so much. Yeah, I've heard that it is quite good also, Oh, interesting. I've heard it wasn't that good. So well better than the first one is definitely a relative statement. So, yeah, but we just two was a hell of a lot better than we just won. True. Anyway, very true. One of my favorite AMC shows has returned. Silo has started up again. Oh, I saw that. You mean apple? Yeah? They say, Yeah, Apple. And it's still awesome. The first I've either watched the first episode yet, yes, no, it's almost like nothing happens. But it's completely compelling through the entire episode. It's so good, she can hold the screen on her own with no problem no matter what's going on. Yeah, it's because she's alone in a lot, a lot of the first episode. It's, it's, I'm glad, I'm happy to say quality wise, picks up right where left off. So it's very cool. Yeah, they have to re watch, like the last episode, or the last two episodes, because it hasn't been, like a year and a half or two years since that show it has. They do have, like, a previously on, so they will get you up to speed. It's and it's a long one, so another one of those, like five minute long encapsulations. But, yeah, it's interesting watching Rebecca Ferguson because we did on the weekend like a friend's screening of Dune one and two, because apparently none of my friends saw dune two, and watching her performance in that compared to silo, you're just like, you're so good, you're so good at what you do, and she's really beautiful. Oh, this girl, pretty cool. Eric, have you seen dune two yet? I still haven't. I know. I know. It's very weird. I need to find out a place where I could just map up to watch the whole thing. What is happening. You could have watched it in the dresses last weekend, especially with, I know, and I would have invited you. Well, the series is starting up here, or has started up, like the HP or the max, whatever. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet, but episode one's now. Yeah, yeah. Um, well, another one that I won't be watching. I will say this. Vanessa, you said that your kid was cute. And you know that I am not a lover of children. Your kid is so fucking cute it hurts my teeth. Yeah, pretty adorable. So we, we got her baptized a day or two ago for funsies and for family guilt and Catholic guilt, and everyone was so prepared to have this little bundle just scream for an hour. She was so fucking adorable. She, like, just charmed the shit out of everybody, like the priest was like, Damn, she's so sweet. Throw oil, throw water. Oh, she's still good, okay? Like the ladies who are behind me in the pew this like set of old ladies just didn't even care about mass anymore. They weren't singing, they weren't doing the prayers. They were just looking at her, going, Oh, and she's just, oh, my god, she was she was on fire. She was in her zone, so future cult leader, oh, shit. Okay, how about we take a little break, and I'll ponder what Vanessa just said, Yes, and then when We come back, we are continuing with No Toho member, you get machines anymore, we have returned, And we are continuing with no tohove Ember, which is Asian cinema, but it cannot be from Toho so with that in mind, Vanessa, you want to start us off with this episode? Yeah, I'd love to man. I am loving this, this entire situation, because I love Asian cinema, so I'm like any excuse to get even further into the world's deepest Well, you got my timer going there? Timer right here. Requested the timer. I will be so stressed out if I know it's just going to enter any moment, it's got, I gotta be in charge of something in my life. This is called Stockholm Syndrome. Five minutes, all right, so I went with a film. I looked up like a list of like underrated Asian films, and I found one called Beyond the infinite, two Minutes from 2020 Oh, because Bucha, Bucha Oh, am this. The Japanese movie that, yeah, I had never heard of it. It's low budget, indie style film. Rotten Tomato score, very high. 99% tomato Meter Out Of it's like almost 70 reviews, and then 90% popcorn meter. So pretty popular. Directed by Jinta yamagachi, who has six credits. It was this, and then he got several TV mini series, and then did a film called River. Most of these are like, team, youth focused and lots of time travel. They were like, you're good with time. Here you go. Continue, continue your journey. So the writer is fairly well known, makato Ueda. He has 26 credits, and it's starring the members of the Europe kakaku theater troupe. So none of them are famous, but they are out there. Their theater troupe came to to play the story follows a cafe owner named Cato, who discovers that his computer monitor is showing what will happen two minutes into the future from the perspective of the television in the cafe, which displays what is happening two minutes in the past. So the computers then brought down to face the television, so the future and the past are on either side, and it creates a Droste effect, which means it's like that nesting doll thing, where each every two minutes, has like a new screen, and it goes further and further down the line, and it allows the characters to see a bit into the future. His friends get super involved and obsessed with it almost immediately from the get go. So he notices this is happening, and his future self is like, Okay, I've told you pretty much nothing. Now go downstairs to the TV and tell the next one what's happening here. And so he's basically forcing himself into this loop. And then the friends do stuff, and there starts to be these questions about, like, okay, so we saw this thing happen on the TV. Do we need to make sure that we do it in our version, and to the point where they start lying to their themselves about certain things because they were told a certain thing, whether or not it's true. So it gets nice and time traveling very, very quickly, but it's all kind of in real time. It's set within, you know, just like it's, the film is just over an hour, and the idea is that it's happening in moment to moment. Um, this is a, it's a really cutesy, comicy, silly film. It has some very like fun vibes to it. Um, it is definitely a copy of one cut of the dead, but like a sci fi version, so it's not done with nearly as big of a budget, which sounds silly, because that was a low budget film. This is a lower budget film. You have just kind of whoever they could get to start the writing feels pretty solid, the filmmaking is pretty solid, but at the same time it isn't. I don't think it's quite as strong, but it's neat to see sort of a knock off. I feel like watching this movie. I learned the lesson of, don't share your future tech with your annoying friends, because they'll just kind of take it over and do stupid shit. We got to teach each other how to, like, earn money and like, let's go find money randomly. Let's ask each other dumb questions in the past that are or future that our two minute future self are not going to know. Like, is this country still exists, like, Yeah, fuck her. She moves away. Okay, whatever. Yeah, and the film mostly works. I think for the most part, it's a lot of fun. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to seek it out, but it definitely shows the budget in that there's certain things like, not only do you have not like a great cast of actors, but the image is super desaturated. And I'm not quite sure why. I feel like that's a limitation of the film that must have been their color correcting, like where they ended up, and then also when they're moving the monitor around. I How did I run out of time that quickly? Sometimes that's crazy. I was like, I gotta, like, pad this out, because there's not enough information to talk about shit. Okay, well, I will quickly wrap this up. Then you don't see, like, the power extension for the there. I. Dragging the monitor all over the fucking place, and you're like, how is this getting everywhere? The tagline is a one take time travel, sci fi comedy. The director, I know one take of the anyway, the filmmaker uses a camera no bigger than a Tamagotchi. He told The Guardian, you can get close to the cast, like five centimeters away, and take a really good picture. It was strapped to the back of a smartphone which was used as a handheld monitor so that Yamaguchi could watch the footage back as he followed the actors. It was shot over the course of seven days in a Kyoto Cafe, and, of course, edited to look like one shot, and it premiered at Tollywood, a small Tokyo cinema to an audience of 12. However, due to COVID 19 pandemic severely limiting production and release of mainstream films, the film was selected to be screened by major theater chain Toho cinemas. Oh, they're like, hey, somebody made something quick. Let's put it in the big screen. So this did come out after one cut of the dead. It did one cut of the dead, I think was 2017 and this is 2020 Wow. Okay, I know I was equally surprised. And you can watch it for free on Amazon. That was going to be my question. So this sounds fun, yeah, it's a very quick watch. It is really just over an hour. It's like an hour and 10 minutes or something. Can you say the name again? It's called Beyond the infinite two minutes. Beyond the infinite two minutes. Okay, all right, Eric, if you don't mind, I'll I'll go next dive in. Give myself five minutes on the strange eons radio buzzer. And I am talking about a film from 1998 called Tony. You. I ski ah, the Let's go. Tommy is based on a Junji Ito manga. It is written and directed by Ataru. Ataru Okawa was 19 credits, including apartment 1303, nine plus one, Tomi beginning and Tomi revenge. You guys probably don't know this. I certainly didn't. There are a total of 10 films in the Tomi. The last one came out in 2011 came out in 2011 Oh, my God. Is starring Miho Kano, who has 66 credits, just tons of Japanese TV, but also kewashi dolls and permanent nobara. Also in this is Mommy mammy Nakamura. Was 38 credits, including the Mars canon merabito and scary Nursery Rhymes and yo Rico do Gucci, who has 83 credits, including tampoco silence cure and five episodes of the latest version of Shogun. Oh, wow. Have you guys seen Tomi? No, don't bother. My movie was again, this has a really solid opening scene with a young man leaving his apartment with a package that, if you look closely, the bottom of it is soaked through with blood. He keeps wandering through the streets, bumping into people, and then double checking to make sure the package is okay. And of course, he finally opens it. Inside is a severed head of a young woman, and then the woman's eyes open and stare at him. And I was like, all fucking right. From here, this movie cranks along at a pace of somewhat just above zero miles per hour, and I got very, very frustrated with it, mostly because I expected it to have some crazy Junji Ito imagery. But since I am not familiar with the actual manga, I don't know maybe it follows it very closely. The story is basically about a young woman named sukiko who has been trying. Traumatized in some fashion, and lost much of her memory about what traumatized her. She is undergoing hypnotherapy to try and remember the events that took place in the past three months of her life. Meanwhile, a police detective is investigating the murder of a young woman named Tomi Kawakami about three months ago. Hmm, in those three months, nine students and one teacher has gone either insane or they have committed suicide. His investigation leads him to the murder of another girl three years prior, also named Tony Tomi Kawakami, and then another murdered girl with the same name sometime before that and so on, all the way back to the 1860s by the way, the guy who had the severed head has taken it home and begun to feed it, and it has now grown back a young teenage girl's body. Yes, the tagline of this movie is, Tommy will not die, which is a bit on the nose, but that's basically what's going on here. The girl Tommy inspires love and passion and every man she meets, but it soon turns to jealousy and rage, and they all end up killing her. But as interesting as that sounds, this movie is a big fucking waste of time, but very frustrating. There is little to no payoff in the end, and I just like go the fuck what is happening here? Trivia Junji Ito won the 1989 Kazuo umetso Prize for his work on Tomi. Since then, the manga has spawned a cult following and is still generally praised by fans and critics alike. And in july 2019 Alexandra Aja was pronounced, was announced to be developing a television series adaptation of Tomi for quibi. Remember quibi? Oh, yeah. In July of 2020 Adelaide, Rudolph was announced to have been cast as Tomi. And in October of 2020 it was announced that quibi was shutting down, leaving the fate of the series in question, I've got about a minute left and I'm taking it off. Good. Tell you the whole time, the whole time, I had a Tony Tony Tony song going through my head. Okay, I was entertained by the film. I feel like Jinji Ito's works are just cursed, like it's so hard to get that right, for some reason, wasn't Uzumaki one of his Yes, and that, as as weird a movie as it is, is so visually interesting, you're like, I don't give a fuck. This has none of that interesting visuals. And this is 98 so it's got to be right around the same time as the ring, yeah, but this looks like garbage next to the ring. So it is, it is very low budget. And just there's, there's nothing in here that that made me think that it was worth because remember when extreme Asian cinema starts coming and hitting over here, then we just got DVDs of everything. And I remember this one kept on showing up in my my videos and all this stuff, of people going, Oh, you got to see Tommy. And I was like, No, you do not. Got to see Tell me. Take it from me. I will avoid it. Oh, oh, I will say this. It is available on shutter because, for whatever reason, November shutter just dumped a shit ton of J horror on there, including a really interesting documentary on J horror. So if you're interested, half of the Juan films are there now, and the ring and Tony, oh, somebody shutters listening to us. Yeah, no, let's do this whole vember. Eric, why is it so hard for you? I saw, yeah, I saw Tokyo Gore police had showed up on there, and I don't want to watch it, but I was like, oh, it's there. Okay, cool. It's kind of hilarious, and it's ridiculous. Yeah, I love that movie. Just, yeah, it is a lot of fun. I saw the trailer because I was considering it, and I was like, this looks, this looks very low budget. Oh well, yeah. But it's also shockingly cool effects for how yeah it is, and a lot of arterial spray. Oh yeah, several bodies worth of blood can be seen flying out of one one person. It does seem that way. Eric, I'm putting five minutes on the buzzer for Alrighty. So this actually came across from our our phone guy to Bronzo mentioned, if I'd ever seen this Japanese film called Goki, body stature from hell. Do. Out of the fiery depths of a mysterious alien planet comes the most horrifying experience in Motion Picture history. Never before has such a friendly, oozing mass of Stark terror crept across the screen. Bodies snatcher from hell. I don't want to die. From a strange world in outer space comes this fiendish vampire satisfying his sinister and evil Rust by feasting on the blood of his victims. You a body snatcher from hell, no weapon known to land. No weapon known to man can stop this ghoulish vampire from draining his victims blood and turning them into terrifying corpses. Body snatcher from hell, his unquenchable thirst for blood must be satisfied coming to this theater soon. And I had not familiar, and I checked out the trailer thought, um, I'll see it now from 1968 oh, uh, another one with no critics ratings, but a popcorn meter of 52 so you know. But it's available on Flix fling and the criterion channel. Oh so holy toy. Yeah. So this is direct by Bobby Sato, who did Conan, the boy in the future, which has nothing to do with Conan animation, the golden bat, also animated and the glamorous ghost, written by kayuzo Kobayashi, who wrote Tuesday suspense theater and a few other things. Uh, Susumu Toka, who's also the writer, who wrote mobile sheriff and Fist of the North Star, which is a very fun animated movie. Uh, acting. Tira YASHIDA, who's a horrors of the male malformed man, gang versus gang and jazz on parade, so yeah, variety. And Tomomi Sato, who from the dusk from zero to hero. And finally, he know oko, who's in horrors of the malformed man and shoguns, joy of torture, whatever that is. So this movie starts off with a load of people flying on a plane. I tell you, it's always love a plane in a movie where it looks like 10 times more room than your average plane has to walk up and down the aisle and everything like that. And he had a bunch of people talking back and forth to each other, which I guess is character introduction. They're flying into a very red, weird Red Cloud sky, and the pilots are not sure what's going on. There's a man reading a newspaper about assassination in Japan, and his comment is, boy, Japan is becoming more like America. No, like, oh, but yes, the pilots get an emergency call that there's a bomb on board from a suicide bomber. So they go off and they ask everybody to show them their luggage, which goes well most of the time, but not for everyone. And for some reason, birds keep colliding quite graphically with the windows in the airplane. But not sure if it's a bomb, but I gotta tell you, the Skyjacker guy hijacker was obviously the inspiration for John Don Johnson's look in Miami. Vice got the white jacket, the colored shirt. He's like, Wow, nice. A UFO has now appeared on the horizon. And again, like so many of these films, this is 10 minutes in. So it's just setting everything up. The tiny toy model crashes on what looks kind of like Mars. So I'm not quite sure what part of the Pacific they're landing in, because it has no greenery at all. It's like Utah. But I tell you, if you. The level of overacting in this film is massively impressive. It is never less than a five, and it's always close to a 10, and everything that goes on is wow, this feel, this film is another one of those that lots of people say is Quentin Tarantino's favorite film. I'd be surprised if it's his favorite film, but I have no doubt he enjoys it. The it was re released in the US as body snatch from hell and Goki the vampire. And, yeah, because there's vampiric elements to the people when who run into the alien ship. The biggest drawback to this film is the speeches there are. The filmmaker obviously had something he wanted to say about society, and treating people certain ways, all kinds of stuff. And instead of figuring out a way to tell that in the story of the movie, he just has the characters say it. That's like, and it's not little speeches. These go on for minutes at a time, like, wow, okay, but when they're not preaching, the movie is a lot of fun. It is so silly and weirdly violent with the strange way the vampires are formed a Bronzo. This was well recommended. I'm fine with it. It is not Bruno mate, but it is on par with some of those bad, enjoyable films, any trivia or anything like that you wanted to get into. It wasn't a lot. There's like the name changes, like the review, where it's like uninspired, wooden directing and bad bogged down by long stretches of melodramatic dissertations among the characters, which act as an uneasy springboard for preaching and moralizing, which is very true. Does this have a scene with like a split head or something? Yeah, I saw this in the drive in. Oh, wow. That was called Body Snatchers from hell, from hell. Do you remember it at all? Or just that? I remember being bored out of my mind, but I was also, let's see. So you said, this is from the 60s, yeah, 68 so I would have seen it in like 1981 or something, whenever that movie the children came out with the kids who burned, because it was a double feature with that. And I remember my sister taking me to that and I just remember being bored out of my mind, so I would have been like, 11 years old. Yeah, this was not something to watch as a kid, because the vampires aren't crazy enough to be interesting in and of themselves. The humor comes more from the way the people interact with each other when they're in trouble and they're ridiculously dramatic speaking. So worth checking out. It is not, I wouldn't. I would say, yeah, you want to check this one out if you like the the bad films that Bronzo and myself have frequently spoken of, right? Well, nice, good job, guys. Now, normally, you would think, well, what if? What are they doing next for? No to November, but that would be because you forgot that on Thanksgiving we do Frank's giving, which is all Frankenstein films, yes, as a not a coincidence, because we release on Thursdays, that means that our Frank's giving episode will actually release on Thanksgiving. I don't know what movies you guys are going to watch, but I am. I'm going to watch something that looks quite bad for Frank's giving this year. Thank you to toss out real quick. Let's do Kevin B gave us a bunch of pizzas to say thank you, sir. That's very nice and generous of you. So cheers, sir. Is that Kevin B from the strange eons radio talk page? Yes. Thank you so much, Kevin. We really appreciate that. That is very kind. He loves the detailed message with it. Always fun. Thanks, sir. I. Okay, excellent, perfect. We are your favorite SARS as far as SARS go. I mean, yeah, so what that means that brings us to the point where we say thanks to people like Kevin doing that, or just out there sharing and liking posts, leaving reviews on your favorite podcaster app, or reaching out to us even on 253-237-4266, which is the strange eons radio hotline, also known as the Bronzo hotline. I have if you're listening to this on release day, then this is probably available. This is called Anno Carcosa. It is a cool, little fully illustrated chap book that I did with Rob Corless. It is available on Amazon. People are saying very nice things about it, if you're into that kind of stuff. I did something before with de Bronzo. I mean, the Pronto, well, god damn it to Bronzo. Get out of my head. No. Rob Corliss, the first thing I did with him was a different, fully illustrated chapbook in the same kind of style mixes. It's really freaking cool. Is really cool? Rob corliss's art is just spectacular every every single frame or every single image looks like if an animation cell frame, yeah, just tons of energy and movement in it. Those are available on Amazon. Probably not gonna offer those as autographed stuff, because they are odd shaped and hard to package so but hunt me down at cryptocon or Lovecraft film festival or something, and I'll, I'll sign it. Anything else, guys, I think so. I don't think so either. Batten down the hatches for the big weather event. Yes. So let's do that. Good luck everybody out there, and we'll be back in seven short days. We're talking about, wait a second, is it thanksgiving for the next episode? That doesn't even seem right, does it? Oh, I guess so. It doesn't seem right, but I think it is. Look at the time. It is, yeah, okay. Yeah, we're, we're just about into December, you guys, yeah, it's gone by quickly. Okay, Toho and toho, I, I'll be back to watching films that don't have subtitles on it. That'll be nice. It has been a lot of them.
