[11:11:31:00 - 11:11:37:22]
Speaker 3
 All my friends have moved away. I figured one of the last strings I'm holding on to.

[11:11:37:22 - 11:11:40:18]
Speaker 1
 You're like a person that visits more people than I've ever known.

[11:11:40:18 - 11:11:41:15]
Speaker 5
 Maybe.

[11:11:41:15 - 11:11:45:10]
Speaker 1
 I'm such an introvert. All your fights to Atlanta and all the...

[11:11:45:10 - 11:11:49:01]
Speaker 3
 Not anymore though. I mean, I haven't done that for five years.

[11:11:49:01 - 11:11:50:20]
Speaker 1
 Well, there's a big reason you haven't done that.

[11:11:50:20 - 11:11:51:07]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, sure.

[11:11:51:07 - 11:11:52:13]
Speaker 5
 That is true.

[11:11:53:21 - 11:11:54:06]
Speaker 4
 Yeah.

[11:11:54:06 - 11:12:00:12]
Speaker 5
 I maybe text Michael once a month at this point, so... Our friendship is not strong.

[11:12:00:12 - 11:12:01:22]
Speaker 1
 Randomly text Texas.

[11:12:03:12 - 11:12:04:02]
Speaker 1
 It's hurting its time.

[11:12:04:02 - 11:12:10:20]
Speaker 3
 Yeah. Yeah, it was frustrating because I was literally watching Frozen 2. While he was...

[11:12:10:20 - 11:12:16:15]
Speaker 1
 Hey, Joe, I was doing this crazy thing. I was watching Frozen 2. I can't be disturbed right now. I know.

[11:12:16:15 - 11:12:27:16]
Speaker 3
 Please see this. 50 times. I know. I was like... I actually tried to pause and put it on and she was like, "Frozen! Elsa!

[11:12:29:05 - 11:12:38:22]
Speaker 3
 Elsa! Bieber!" I'm like, "Okay, we're not gonna watch Frozen Bieber, but I will return it to your previously viewed Frozen." It is so

[11:12:38:22 - 11:12:39:12]
Speaker 2
 weird to watch.

[11:12:41:01 - 11:12:45:03]
Speaker 2
 Just watch the clip. "It's a Frozen 5-pole minimum so we can keep it all fresh." That's right.

[11:12:45:03 - 11:12:51:05]
Speaker 3
 Don't worry. It's not going anywhere. I've got months of pensive Frozen, so you're expressed.

[11:12:51:05 - 11:12:53:11]
Speaker 1
 It's taking notes on my card.

[11:12:55:06 - 11:12:59:22]
Speaker 2
 I mean, can I assume that you've got a ton of trivia or something?

[11:12:59:22 - 11:13:09:08]
Speaker 3
 I do. I have all the intro stuff figured out, and then I figured we'd chat and figure out the actual... ...what we think about it, and then I can throw in some trivia at the end.

[11:13:09:08 - 11:13:11:17]
Speaker 5
 I love it. Yep. That was not funny.

[11:13:12:19 - 11:13:16:17]
Speaker 1
 So, we're talking about movies with no sequels. Everybody remember that, right?

[11:13:16:17 - 11:13:16:23]
Speaker 4
 Yep.

[11:13:16:23 - 11:13:24:14]
Speaker 2
 So, I noticed you're wearing yours way higher than we are. Should we be up higher or should we be up higher? If

[11:13:24:14 - 11:13:30:04]
Speaker 5
 I remember our test.

[11:13:41:00 - 11:13:43:09]
Speaker 1
 Got it?

[11:13:43:09 - 11:13:44:09]
Speaker 2
 And then...

[11:13:45:13 - 11:13:48:23]
Speaker 2
 I feel like we're down here. It's so sweet.

[11:13:50:00 - 11:13:50:12]
Speaker 3
 It's so sweet.

[11:13:50:12 - 11:13:52:00]
Speaker 2
 I've done nothing.

[11:13:52:00 - 11:13:53:20]
Speaker 3
 I'm just exactly where we want to be.

[11:13:53:20 - 11:13:55:00]
Speaker 5
 I guess we can move it along again.

[11:13:56:03 - 11:13:59:23]
Speaker 3
 You might have to go near the top of the bump next button down there. There you go.

[11:13:59:23 - 11:14:02:08]
Speaker 2
 That's where we're...

[11:14:02:08 - 11:14:15:13]
Speaker 1
 Check, check, check. Let me put these behind my head. I don't have money. Because these come right up.

[11:14:19:00 - 11:14:25:06]
Speaker 2
 I don't see money. This is... I guess he's not having any money. That's going to be nice. So nice.

[11:14:33:00 - 11:14:35:10]
Speaker 1
 We're all recording. Okay.

[11:14:36:21 - 11:14:40:04]
Speaker 3
 Okay. You want to jump? Yeah. Just got to red dot.

[11:14:41:09 - 11:14:41:14]
Speaker 3
 Yeah.

[11:14:45:07 - 11:14:47:09]
Speaker 1
 We'll meet her's going. Okay.

[11:14:47:09 - 11:14:52:12]
Speaker 2
 Ready? And we're recording? Yes. Okay. Of course not. I've got to jump.

[11:14:56:01 - 11:14:57:08]
Speaker 5
 You've always been established.

[11:14:58:16 - 11:15:02:12]
Speaker 1
 But I asked.

[11:15:06:05 - 11:15:07:11]
Speaker 5
 It's always good to check.

[11:15:07:11 - 11:15:08:10]
Speaker 4
 Yeah. No.

[11:15:19:00 - 11:15:24:01]
Speaker 1
 Okay. Check. Mike's not in progress.

[11:15:26:19 - 11:15:29:06]
Speaker 1
 Sit. Sit. She's scurrying.

[11:15:31:18 - 11:15:34:22]
Speaker 1
 That's not a great question.

[11:15:37:17 - 11:15:40:17]
Speaker 1
 I said, why aren't the numbers moving?

[11:15:42:00 - 11:15:45:19]
Speaker 3
 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

[11:15:45:19 - 11:15:47:09]
Speaker 5
 Without you would be so lost.

[11:15:49:17 - 11:15:54:06]
Speaker 1
 It's one weird quirkiness.

[11:15:55:09 - 11:16:03:07]
Speaker 1
 When you first turn it on, you have to select whether to play back or record. And if you don't, I'm sure there's a way to change it. No. Yeah.

[11:16:03:07 - 11:16:07:21]
Speaker 5
 You've got a system. That's really all that matters.

[11:16:10:12 - 11:16:10:17]
Speaker 5
 Yes.

[11:16:13:05 - 11:16:13:10]
Speaker 5
 So.

[11:16:16:04 - 11:16:26:08]
Speaker 5
 You're right. You're right, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. Are you going to be talking about strange?

[11:16:26:08 - 11:16:28:23]
Speaker 2
 I'm going to talk a little bit about this.

[11:16:30:02 - 11:16:31:19]
Speaker 2
 That's the, as the tree.

[11:16:31:19 - 11:16:32:20]
Speaker 5
 Okay. All right.

[11:16:34:00 - 11:16:34:14]
Speaker 1
 Okay.

[11:16:35:20 - 11:16:39:13]
Speaker 1
 I'll go on. I'll recording. Give me another real quick check. Check,

[11:16:39:13 - 11:16:42:00]
Speaker 5
 check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check.

[11:16:42:00 - 11:16:43:17]
Speaker 2
 Check, check, check. All right. Okay.

[11:16:46:19 - 11:16:58:17]
Speaker 2
 Welcome to strange eons radio. That is Erica. Hello. That's Vanessa. Hello. And I am Kelly. Hey guys. Uh, still trying out these wireless mics, but I feel out. We're narrowing it down.

[11:16:58:17 - 11:16:59:04]
Speaker 3
 Yeah.

[11:16:59:04 - 11:17:04:23]
Speaker 2
 Pretty soon. All of this will be. Yes. This is inside for me to lose all interest in doing a podcast.

[11:17:06:00 - 11:17:16:10]
Speaker 1
 Then we'll find some way. We can take the little backpack. We know where we want to know. You want to do the podcast? Let's go down to the, uh, the bar. We just sit and talk.

[11:17:16:10 - 11:17:48:00]
Speaker 2
 Guys, I've got something to, uh, to break to you. Oh, okay. Stranger things. Season five drew 59.6 million views in its first five days on Netflix. Marking the most viewed premiere for any English language series on the platform. And third best overall behind squid game seasons two and three. Wow. Okay. This represents a 171% increase from season four is 2022. That was three years ago for the last.

[11:17:49:14 - 11:17:49:21]
Speaker 2
 Wow.

[11:17:49:21 - 11:17:51:09]
Speaker 3
 Wow. I wonder if I can remember.

[11:17:51:09 - 11:17:52:00]
Speaker 5
 I'm sure.

[11:17:53:16 - 11:18:06:08]
Speaker 2
 And the premier also said another record as all five seasons simultaneously paired on Netflix. Top 10 chart. The first for any series on the platform. Wow. So apparently stranger things are still a thing.

[11:18:06:08 - 11:18:20:07]
Speaker 3
 There's still. I mean, it, it has such a broad appeal because people are aged are going to be watching it. People who like experienced the eighties and have that nostalgia. There's the it's young. It's fresh. It's like high schoolers.

[11:18:20:07 - 11:18:22:10]
Speaker 2
 Kids.

[11:18:22:10 - 11:18:34:02]
Speaker 3
 I don't think 11 year olds are going to be watching this at this point. I hope not. Uh, but at the same time, it does have enough people who I don't know. I don't know. I feel, I feel like everyone I know is watching stranger.

[11:18:34:02 - 11:18:35:12]
Speaker 2
 Did you watch it?

[11:18:35:12 - 11:18:35:19]
Speaker 3
 Yes.

[11:18:35:19 - 11:18:41:23]
Speaker 2
 Did you watch it? Yes. See, not everybody knows. Oh, I should say I was kind of bored through most of it. Really?

[11:18:41:23 - 11:18:55:11]
Speaker 3
 You got a good time. Okay. I was, I was really liking it. I had very low expectations off of lasting or three years ago. Yeah. Um, but I was just like, Oh, this is, this is good. Okay. This is good. This is watchful.

[11:18:57:00 - 11:19:01:14]
Speaker 3
 But, it was actually not the case. So until we come back on the panel we'll probably hear a bit more about how& About David. How can you help

[11:19:01:14 - 11:19:04:14]
Speaker 2
 me because of the supposed,

[11:19:04:14 - 11:19:11:16]
Speaker 3
 well between them and Bobby. I'm literally about 10. She had.

[11:19:25:00 - 11:19:30:13]
Speaker 2
 It was the news, they did not get along and she had filed some kind of suit against him.

[11:19:30:13 - 11:19:49:17]
Speaker 1
 Someplace in the U.S. It was a made up story by somebody and just gained so much traction that the modern news cycle is so good at researching things and make sure everything's true before they report it. They don't wanna just be the first one to report no matter whether it's true or not, right?

[11:19:49:17 - 11:19:50:10]
Speaker 5
 Yeah, okay.

[11:19:50:10 - 11:19:53:02]
Speaker 1
 But that's my understanding.

[11:19:53:02 - 11:20:09:00]
Speaker 3
 That would make sense, because on the premier carpet, she was getting really cozy with him and making sure she was physically showing. And she was like, "We play a father and daughter on this show. We have to be close." So whatever happened with his ex-wife,

[11:20:10:03 - 11:20:28:22]
Speaker 3
 I hope that he's not a bad human being, but at least that would have been a breaking point for me if him and he had done something really horrible to Millie and Bobby Brown, even if it was just verbal, like being a dick. But he didn't, so I was like, "Okay, I can watch the show again." That's great.

[11:20:28:22 - 11:20:32:22]
Speaker 2
 Well, I have bad news for you. He is a horrible human being. They are all horrible human beings.

[11:20:32:22 - 11:20:33:06]
 (Laughing)

[11:20:33:06 - 11:20:40:04]
Speaker 2
 Probably. Probably making a couple million dollars in a show for anything. I knew you were gonna say this. It's a horrible human being. You cannot relate to that.

[11:20:40:04 - 11:20:45:04]
Speaker 3
 Okay, because he's an actor. I mean, all actors are horrible human beings too. Sorry, I'm sorry.

[11:20:45:04 - 11:20:52:00]
Speaker 2
 Bon Jovi's kid. Do you think that-- Really? Yeah, do you think that she is a good person? She's gotta be a classic.

[11:20:52:00 - 11:20:53:20]
 (Laughing)

[11:20:53:20 - 11:20:55:01]
Speaker 3
 Wait, who?

[11:20:56:08 - 11:20:57:00]
Speaker 4
 All of them.

[11:20:57:00 - 11:21:09:23]
Speaker 3
 Okay, all of them. Yes, I, yeah, I mean, I know enough actors to know that they're crazy, like, that's fine. Money or not, so it's fine. I wanted to enjoy it. Oh, good. Yes, yeah.

[11:21:09:23 - 11:21:23:15]
Speaker 1
 America, check it out. I got no interest in it. I just like, because the last season was so vanilla until the end. It got really good at the end, but like, I would say-- And this one is extended out

[11:21:23:15 - 11:21:31:06]
Speaker 2
 so far from the sound effect. Yeah, I would say that if you're invested in this story, then it's fine, but the,

[11:21:32:06 - 11:21:36:06]
Speaker 2
 "Welcome to Dairy" series, yeah, I think it's miles above this show.

[11:21:36:06 - 11:21:36:14]
Speaker 3
 Really?

[11:21:36:14 - 11:21:38:05]
Speaker 2
 And the acting especially.

[11:21:38:05 - 11:21:45:13]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, the acting, or-- Although I will say, I feel like the, I think it's not, you know, the black-hidden stranger things,

[11:21:46:16 - 11:21:49:04]
Speaker 3
 he-- Will, is that Will? Yeah, he's not Will,

[11:21:50:05 - 11:22:05:08]
Speaker 3
 but he got some acting lessons, because that kid was horrifically that last time around. And this time I was like, "Oh, hey, you delivered a line. Good for you, bud." Like, he was so awful in the last season, and this one, clearly he was like, "Oh, shit."

[11:22:05:08 - 11:22:08:02]
Speaker 2
 Oh, wait, we're talking the last season, the stranger things. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah,

[11:22:09:06 - 11:22:16:03]
Speaker 2
 well, okay, so he's gotten better, but the young kid that always has the bad hair, he is worse than ever.

[11:22:16:03 - 11:22:20:20]
Speaker 3
 Really? I thought he was doing okay. I think the script is really rough.

[11:22:20:20 - 11:22:21:23]
Speaker 1
 And you guys are selling this.

[11:22:21:23 - 11:22:22:22]
 (Laughing)

[11:22:22:22 - 11:22:39:05]
Speaker 3
 Like, if you want popcorn, like, just fun, insane visuals, like, don't have to think about it, don't have to, like, invest too much in it, I think it's great fodder. Like, I think it's a fun thing to just sit through, but I wouldn't say it's gonna change your life.

[11:22:40:09 - 11:22:45:09]
Speaker 2
 Well, okay, let's talk about the stuff that would've seemed a bit, will change your life now. Oh, God.

[11:22:47:10 - 11:22:49:07]
Speaker 2
 I did watch this on mushroom movies.

[11:22:49:07 - 11:22:50:09]
Speaker 3
 Oh, no.

[11:22:50:09 - 11:23:30:21]
Speaker 2
 Excellent. Kelly. But Eric, this is your kind of movie. Vanessa, I'm not gonna ask you to watch this movie. It is called Empire of the Dark, and I don't know how I found this, but I thought that after watching it for a little bit, I was like, oh my God, everybody must know about this movie. It is, the acting is really bad, and the editing is really bad, the special effects are really bad and all this stuff, and yet it is so fucking watchable as a passion project by this one particular actor, it's from 1992. The effects range from a puppet demon that suddenly goes into stop motion. Oh my God. And I was just like, whoa, he got a couple of bucks.

[11:23:30:21 - 11:23:32:06]
 (Laughing)

[11:23:32:06 - 11:24:20:15]
Speaker 2
 And his acting, while not great, feels very natural, and he's kind of this pudgy guy with bad hair and a mustache. He's the hero, and he's learning how to fight with swords and everything, and he's got, he's cast this beautiful woman as his ex-girlfriend, and she is quite possibly the worst actor at some point. Oh no. And I'm like, what am I watching? I watched it three times now, so the first time was on Western Abilities. The second time, I was like, I gotta see if this is as good as I thought it was, and I just watched it with my mouth hanging open because this thing is just dripping with heart. Oh, I love that stuff. And I was like, how long is this? This gotta be a four hour movie. 88 minutes.

[11:24:20:15 - 11:24:22:10]
 (Laughing)

[11:24:22:10 - 11:24:38:18]
Speaker 2
 It's a struggle with some of the acting. There's a shootout in a convenience store, and I was like, wow, this guy pulled some strings, you know, he's in a convenience store shooting guns and all of a sudden. Sure. And, all right, Eric.

[11:24:38:18 - 11:24:44:17]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, I remember-- I think you posted about this someplace. I went and watched the trailer and gone, oh yeah.

[11:24:44:17 - 11:24:57:18]
Speaker 2
 Well, I texted you and the gang on the backpack thing and said, you know, I'm watching maybe the worst movie ever made, and it is so good.

[11:24:59:23 - 11:25:00:00]
 (Laughing)

[11:25:00:00 - 11:25:20:04]
Speaker 2
 So yeah, you will absolutely love it. Wow. And so then I went onto IMDb to read the reviews. I'm like, God, this must, yeah, it's got eight reviews since 1992. Wow. It's like, nobody's six, so I got on there, I left him a nine out of 10. Nice. I said, this movie is a stout. You made his whole day.

[11:25:21:11 - 11:25:29:12]
Speaker 2
 Then I wanted to look, because I was gonna try and contact this guy, it'd be like 70 something now, and just say, hey, I just watched your movie and I love it, died in 2019.

[11:25:29:12 - 11:25:30:04]
Speaker 4
 Oh.

[11:25:30:04 - 11:25:40:13]
Speaker 2
 So, but I did see that he got like from Italy a lifetime achievement award of something.

[11:25:41:15 - 11:25:46:13]
Speaker 2
 And I was like, oh, I hope that he took that and really appreciated that.

[11:25:47:17 - 11:25:49:05]
Speaker 2
 Somebody out there knew who he was.

[11:25:49:05 - 11:26:06:06]
Speaker 1
 Oh my gosh. Letterbox has that as a 3.1 average, which is pretty good. And most of the people I know that left reviews are four and five star. Oh, wow. So some of the people, some people have seen it. Not me. I am not yet.

[11:26:07:08 - 11:26:23:04]
Speaker 2
 Well, this is called "Empire of the Dark." Now it is available on Tubi, but you're gonna get commercials and that definitely pulls from it. When you get broken away from a really bad scene, it's kind of like hard to get back into it. So if you can rent it for $2.99,

[11:26:25:11 - 11:26:27:01]
Speaker 2
 I would say do that. Nice.

[11:26:28:08 - 11:26:31:04]
Speaker 2
 And do a little gummy action beforehand.

[11:26:31:04 - 11:26:40:17]
Speaker 3
 I knew as soon as you said, I don't know how I found this movie. I was thinking Tubi. He definitely found it on Tubi. It was just somehow playing on Tubi and he stumbled across it.

[11:26:40:17 - 11:26:42:08]
Speaker 2
 "Empire of the Dark."

[11:26:42:08 - 11:26:47:10]
Speaker 3
 All right. Well, I saw something that either you both have seen or you both will see.

[11:26:48:10 - 11:26:54:17]
Speaker 3
 Knives out "Wake up, Dead Man." I will. Yeah, directed by Rayne Johnson. Kelly, have you seen this yet? Yeah.

[11:26:56:13 - 11:27:20:08]
Speaker 3
 It's got a great cast. Daniel Craig of course returns this long. He got Josh O'Connor, who is really compelling I guess the lead or the secondary lead. Glenn Coase, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner as a total piece of shit. Andrew Scott, I wish I had seen more of in this actually. Mila Kunis, it just has Thomas Hayden Church. It just had such a good

[11:27:20:08 - 11:27:22:05]
Speaker 1
 cast. They always have the best casts.

[11:27:22:05 - 11:27:43:08]
Speaker 3
 But yeah. Casting agents. I think it's great. I feel like every one of these has been its own thing. Like the last one being a big tech bro thing. This one taking place through a church setting. I don't know, I just really, I don't know. I'm not sick of them. I could watch these forever. They're just so good.

[11:27:43:08 - 11:27:44:21]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, I loved it.

[11:27:47:00 - 11:28:01:00]
Speaker 2
 I was struck by how all three of these movies have such a complete different structure. Yes. Yeah. Like the last one, they stopped in the middle and then went backwards and showed you a different version of it. And then this one, we don't even get,

[11:28:02:06 - 11:28:03:15]
Speaker 2
 what's his name? LeBlanc.

[11:28:03:15 - 11:28:05:01]
Speaker 4
 LeBlanc.

[11:28:05:01 - 11:28:05:16]
Speaker 3
 Is that his name?

[11:28:06:17 - 11:28:07:13]
Speaker 1
 Daniel Craig's character.

[11:28:07:13 - 11:28:12:15]
Speaker 3
 Yeah. He's just Benoit, Benoit Blanc?

[11:28:12:15 - 11:28:13:12]
Speaker 2
 Oh, Benoit.

[11:28:13:12 - 11:28:14:04]
Speaker 3
 Benoit Blanc.

[11:28:14:04 - 11:28:14:18]
Speaker 2
 Okay.

[11:28:16:16 - 11:28:35:15]
Speaker 2
 We don't get him until like 40 minutes in the movie. Yeah. We just get the storyline and he's being narrated and you're wondering what's going on. Then all of a sudden you're like, oh, this is the letter he was writing to Benoit Blanc. And I was just kind of astounded like, boy, I'm like, Johnson, just fucking killing it with these.

[11:28:35:15 - 11:28:48:17]
Speaker 3
 I think so too. Yeah. And he did the Red Bushy, her Girl Detective Killer series that I can't think of the name of right now. And like, that's pretty good too.

[11:28:50:09 - 11:28:53:07]
Speaker 3
 She's got really thick, deep, deep, deep voice.

[11:28:55:03 - 11:28:59:00]
Speaker 1
 I don't know this at all. I recognize if you show her, but.

[11:28:59:00 - 11:28:59:22]
Speaker 3
 Yeah.

[11:29:02:04 - 11:29:05:06]
Speaker 3
 Sorry guys. It's boring. And take

[11:29:05:06 - 11:29:07:07]
Speaker 1
 the time to talk about you. Do you like me to talk about my family in search for?

[11:29:07:07 - 11:29:14:23]
Speaker 3
 Poker Face. Oh, he did Poker Face? Yep. Oh, okay. That's his baby with Natasha Lyon, women's doctor. Really? Thank you.

[11:29:16:09 - 11:29:25:19]
Speaker 3
 But yeah, like, I don't know. I'm in the same boat. I feel like even though they're structurally different and we do spend so much time with Josh O'Connor, but thank God he's good.

[11:29:27:02 - 11:29:36:07]
Speaker 3
 Because otherwise it'd be like, it could really destroy the film because there's so much more time spent with this guy than with Blanc. So yeah.

[11:29:36:07 - 11:29:42:13]
Speaker 2
 Yeah. Yeah, I loved it. And as I was watching, I was like, like Daniel Craig looks really good for his age.

[11:29:42:13 - 11:29:43:11]
Speaker 3
 He looks great.

[11:29:43:11 - 11:29:46:03]
Speaker 2
 I decided to look up his age. And then I was like, oh my.

[11:29:47:07 - 11:29:50:00]
Speaker 2
 Did you know that he was the same age as me? Shit.

[11:29:50:00 - 11:29:54:07]
Speaker 3
 He's got people. Like he's got people. No, I was like,

[11:29:54:07 - 11:29:55:17]
Speaker 1
 he looks like he's six and five.

[11:29:56:22 - 11:29:58:21]
Speaker 1
 Gotcha. Yeah, that was my take.

[11:29:58:21 - 11:29:59:20]
Speaker 5
 I thought you just like physically.

[11:30:01:03 - 11:30:06:18]
Speaker 2
 No, I was just like, for some reason I thought he must be seven years of age that he just looked great.

[11:30:06:18 - 11:30:10:11]
Speaker 1
 The way age things seems to be working anymore. I thought he was much.

[11:30:10:11 - 11:30:19:05]
Speaker 2
 And then I was like, oh, he doesn't look great. He's still very handsome. Too much time in the sun. Man, but he's weathered.

[11:30:19:05 - 11:30:23:15]
Speaker 3
 He's weathered. He's got a weathered face. He's lifted up. He's got a crinkle in his eye.

[11:30:23:15 - 11:30:27:05]
Speaker 2
 That's a "Naves a Week of Dead Man" on Netflix.

[11:30:29:10 - 11:30:31:16]
Speaker 1
 All right, well, I actually made it up to a theater

[11:30:32:21 - 11:30:35:07]
Speaker 1
 for "Now You See Me, Now You Don't."

[11:30:35:07 - 11:30:36:21]
Speaker 3
 Of all the films to choose.

[11:30:38:05 - 11:30:38:18]
Speaker 1
 Well, you know,

[11:30:40:02 - 11:30:45:21]
Speaker 1
 this was a couple of weeks ago and the cinema we go to had, I think he's got six screens.

[11:30:47:02 - 11:30:48:04]
Speaker 1
 Four were wicked.

[11:30:49:19 - 11:30:56:22]
Speaker 1
 Sure. So, I'm like, well, I can't still see this one. This looks fun. And it's fun.

[11:30:58:14 - 11:31:07:10]
Speaker 1
 It has something that feels very forced about it in that look at it, show you how we're being amazing.

[11:31:08:12 - 11:31:49:18]
Speaker 1
 And it's like, as opposed to the effortlessness that the way they just did stuff. Now it feels like, well, oh, it's been a few scenes once you've done something wild. Let's do something amazing again. It's still entertaining. It's still a lot of fun. They have three new characters who make up most of the first act. So that's a little like, let's get the rest of the horsemen back here. And they all get in there. And watching this one, did I not see the second one? Because I love "The Good Idea." Because there's the fifth horseman, the other woman. Well, I don't remember her at all. Is she introduced in the second film?

[11:31:49:18 - 11:31:55:09]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, well, they didn't get, is it "I Love Fish?" They didn't get her for the second film.

[11:31:55:09 - 11:31:59:12]
Speaker 1
 So they had a different- Okay, so they had a different woman. Yeah, they had a different woman. Both in this one.

[11:31:59:12 - 11:32:01:00]
Speaker 3
 Oh, okay, gotcha, yeah.

[11:32:01:00 - 11:32:08:08]
Speaker 1
 So I was like, so, but it wasn't a movie though. It was so good. They said, well, let's go watch the second one now. We were both like, okay, that was fun.

[11:32:09:19 - 11:32:20:21]
Speaker 3
 So what do you wanna do tonight? It's funny, because Austin and I, in preparation for "Now You See Me, Now You Don't," we watched the first one and the second one. I sat through them just to watch the third one. And we haven't

[11:32:20:21 - 11:32:21:11]
Speaker 1
 watched it.

[11:32:21:11 - 11:32:22:09]
Speaker 3
 I haven't watched it.

[11:32:22:09 - 11:32:25:01]
Speaker 1
 It's fine, it's worth seeing. But it just had,

[11:32:27:18 - 11:32:36:16]
Speaker 1
 all the performances are good enough that it keeps it entertained. The story feels a little unimaginative.

[11:32:38:01 - 11:32:54:09]
Speaker 2
 Here's my problem with this franchise and any movie where it's like, "Illusion" has to be the thing. It's like, this would be amazing to watch in person, but in a movie, everything is "Illusion." So I'm like, okay, yes.

[11:32:54:09 - 11:32:55:07]
Speaker 3
 That feels spectacular.

[11:32:55:07 - 11:33:17:21]
Speaker 1
 There's a scene in there where they go to this version of the Magic Castle, and it's just a series of them trying to up each other in the way they do up close magic. It's a lot of cards and those kinds of magic tricks. And I'm like, this is such a cool scene, but it's so dumb as a movie scene. It'd be so spectacular to see. Like, you can stay that on the scene.

[11:33:19:06 - 11:33:19:11]
Speaker 3
 Wow.

[11:33:20:11 - 11:33:23:00]
Speaker 3
 But knowing that they can cut anytime.

[11:33:23:00 - 11:33:33:01]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, knowing that these are not professional magicians. They did not do these tricks. Maybe some of them learned a few of them because they were like hand-eyeed stuff, but yeah.

[11:33:33:01 - 11:33:53:01]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, I feel like the reveals are often a little weird in that way, because they always have like the ending with each horseman usually gets one big spectacular thing. And I'm always like, why does that even make sense? The plot, and like, why are we doing this? And I don't know, like it just never lands for me.

[11:33:53:01 - 11:33:56:23]
Speaker 1
 It's a fun film to watch, but yeah, it's a fun film to watch.

[11:33:56:23 - 11:34:07:18]
Speaker 3
 Ah, okay. I'm glad I saw it. Well, that gives me a little bit more heart because I had heard that it was very boring. So I'm gonna check it out.

[11:34:07:18 - 11:34:08:10]
Speaker 5
 I'm filming.

[11:34:09:11 - 11:34:16:09]
Speaker 2
 Okay, the other movie I wanna talk about is called "Lone Samurai." Oh. Anything? It's brand new.

[11:34:17:13 - 11:34:19:19]
Speaker 2
 It's a rental. It is really,

[11:34:22:21 - 11:34:27:18]
Speaker 2
 it's a movie that is really, really good that I wanted a little more out of.

[11:34:29:01 - 11:34:33:08]
Speaker 2
 It is about a samurai who gets shipwrecked on this deserted island. One?

[11:34:33:08 - 11:34:35:02]
 (Laughing)

[11:34:36:20 - 11:34:54:07]
Speaker 2
 And he kind of nurses himself back to health and he's on this beautiful island, but he's alone and he's very depressed and everybody knows he's dead. He's got his broken samurai sword, which is quite the metaphor.

[11:34:55:17 - 11:34:56:00]
 (Laughing)

[11:34:56:00 - 11:35:00:05]
Speaker 2
 And he decides he's going to commit suicide.

[11:35:02:05 - 11:35:19:18]
Speaker 2
 And that's 40 minutes of this movie. Just him walking through this forest and this island and all of this stuff, really beautiful shots. And him kind of flashing back to his childhood and other things, the woman he loved. Also this actor, I can't remember his name,

[11:35:21:08 - 11:35:33:09]
Speaker 2
 is such a striking looking Asian man or half Asian or something like that. He is so fucking handsome that I just watched it. I could not take my eyes off of him.

[11:35:34:11 - 11:35:49:12]
Speaker 2
 And as he's about to kill himself, a little bit of a spoiler here, he gets attacked by cannibals. And this is an island of creepy horror cannibals.

[11:35:51:04 - 11:36:52:08]
Speaker 2
 And it turns into him then having to fight off an entire tribe of cannibalistic subhumans. They all live underground and everything. It's very creepy and it's very good. Yeah, it's very good. And I kept thinking, man, the only problem with this is that the bike choreography was a little clunky. It was probably too realistic, but in a world of John Wicks, when you see the guy go through an entire group of people, you wanna see all sorts of shit going on, right? And there was none of that. And I was like, I wonder why they didn't do this. So I decided to look up this director. His name is Josh C. Waller. And this is like the only thing that he has directed that's not a short film, but he is the producer on Mandy and "Color Out of Space" and "Daniel Isn't Real."

[11:36:54:23 - 11:37:04:14]
Speaker 2
 And I realized, okay, this guy's coming from a Mandy kind of fight thing. Surreal thing where you don't get a lot of flashy movements.

[11:37:06:12 - 11:37:15:21]
Speaker 2
 So I don't know exactly how to rate this movie because on one hand, it's like the coolest movie I've seen this year. Oh, okay. On the other hand, I wanted more out of it.

[11:37:17:12 - 11:37:36:21]
Speaker 2
 So it's really good though. It's called "Lone Samurai." It came out as a rental. I decided to look it up on IMDb. It had one reveal at the time, 10 stars, and the guy's saying, "This is the best movie I've ever seen." And I was like, "Oh, wow." And he basically called it "John Wick Meets."

[11:37:40:03 - 11:37:47:04]
Speaker 2
 There was some Japanese horror film that was in a forest. "Vices?" No.

[11:37:48:12 - 11:37:59:17]
Speaker 2
 There's a lot of them. Yeah, but anyhow, he said it was that, that, and I was like, "Holy shit." And watching it, I was like, "It is kind of that pizza, but I wanted really cool fight choreography."

[11:37:59:17 - 11:38:03:14]
Speaker 5
 Yeah, it's always hard when somebody's like, "This is the best film I've ever seen."

[11:38:03:14 - 11:38:05:14]
Speaker 3
 Because instantly you're like, "Oh shit."

[11:38:06:22 - 11:38:13:14]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, I mean, you can write something like that down. Yeah. To feel like, "Okay." I mean, that's pretty much what I did with "Empire of the Dark."

[11:38:13:14 - 11:38:15:01]
 (Laughing)

[11:38:16:10 - 11:38:19:11]
Speaker 2
 Anyway, "Lone Samurai." It's a rental. Well worth your body. Really good.

[11:38:20:14 - 11:38:41:07]
Speaker 3
 Well, I have been wanting to see "Ruthman" for a while, and finally went ahead and streamed it. This is the "Chanting Tatum," Kristen Dunn's film about the guy who hides out. He's a robber that ends up in jail, escapes from jail, and ends up hiding out in a Toys R Us. It's based on a true story.

[11:38:43:04 - 11:38:43:16]
Speaker 3
 It was fine.

[11:38:43:16 - 11:38:44:18]
Speaker 1
 Oh, okay.

[11:38:44:18 - 11:38:49:01]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, I don't know. Like, "Chanting Tatum" is really good in it. Kristen Dunn is good.

[11:38:50:12 - 11:39:12:16]
Speaker 3
 But I don't know, he's got so much charisma that he's kind of, the whole film is sort of riding on him, and you don't really care about a lot of the other stuff going on. And any plans he has, because it's based, I think, in reality to an extent, you're just sort of like, "Well, that's dumb, and why didn't you do this? And why are you, that seems like a weird way for this story to go."

[11:39:14:12 - 11:39:22:07]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, I don't know. And also, I feel like this guy in real life probably is not the lovable, charismatic, wonderful guy.

[11:39:23:08 - 11:39:32:02]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, I'm sure he's probably like an absolute dirtbag, so I just kind of had that in my head too. Was it a comedy? Yeah, it's like a comedy,

[11:39:33:02 - 11:39:43:14]
Speaker 3
 I wouldn't say it's a straight up comedy. Like, it's a comedy drama. There's a lot of storytelling. But there are comedic moments in it. It's just not played that way all the way through.

[11:39:45:18 - 11:39:49:18]
Speaker 3
 And it has, I'm forgetting his name, and I don't know why he's not listed as top cast.

[11:39:52:20 - 11:39:54:17]
Speaker 1
 I cannot think- That's a hell of a clue.

[11:39:56:09 - 11:39:58:05]
Speaker 3
 I'm gonna get so canceled.

[11:40:01:07 - 11:40:06:18]
Speaker 3
 The guy from Game of Thrones who plays Tyrion.

[11:40:09:05 - 11:40:11:21]
Speaker 1
 Which Tyrion? Is it Tyrion's family name?

[11:40:11:21 - 11:40:13:16]
Speaker 5
 Tyrion's the first name.

[11:40:13:16 - 11:40:15:03]
Speaker 2
 Oh, is he the handsome?

[11:40:18:04 - 11:40:18:16]
Speaker 1
 Toxic Avenger?

[11:40:18:16 - 11:40:19:17]
Speaker 3
 Yes.

[11:40:19:17 - 11:40:20:20]
Speaker 1
 Oh.

[11:40:22:22 - 11:40:27:10]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, that cast. He's an elf. I was drinking a lot last night. Train station.

[11:40:29:00 - 11:40:33:13]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, I don't know why he's, he's like one of the main people. I don't know why he's not showing up as a-

[11:40:33:13 - 11:40:35:02]
Speaker 1
 Tyrion Lannister, that was his last name.

[11:40:37:06 - 11:40:42:22]
Speaker 3
 That's what I said. Are you okay? That's okay. Anyway, let me cut all that out.

[11:40:42:22 - 11:40:45:11]
Speaker 1
 I'm just, you know, I guess I could look it up.

[11:40:45:11 - 11:40:46:23]
 (Laughing)

[11:40:46:23 - 11:40:48:12]
Speaker 5
 Oh my God.

[11:40:48:12 - 11:40:50:05]
Speaker 2
 I like the Oterian Lannister.

[11:40:50:05 - 11:40:56:13]
Speaker 3
 That would- That answers that question. Peter Dichlage is on us, so yeah.

[11:40:58:09 - 11:41:00:08]
Speaker 2
 Moof Man, recommend or not?

[11:41:02:00 - 11:41:06:01]
Speaker 3
 I'd say like a soft recommend, because if you like Channing Tatum, I would check it out.

[11:41:06:01 - 11:41:07:03]
Speaker 2
 Moof Man doesn't like Channing Tatum.

[11:41:07:03 - 11:41:14:15]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, but I wouldn't say like this, this is a movie I will not be rewatching ever again. Like it's, it's fine.

[11:41:14:15 - 11:41:15:19]
Speaker 5
 It's absolutely fine.

[11:41:17:03 - 11:41:30:22]
Speaker 1
 Well, speaking of films that twist characters into lovable and likable people, I watched Conjuring the Last Rites. Oh my God. And that aspect of the film drove me fucking nuts.

[11:41:30:22 - 11:41:31:10]
Speaker 3
 Oh no.

[11:41:31:10 - 11:41:57:12]
Speaker 1
 Because most of the movie, a good hour of the film, is just kind of their family and the family they're gonna end up helping. But I'm like, wow, these seem like they were the greatest people to ever live. All charity minded and just wanted to help people. No sense of exploitation or trying to twist people to make sure they're making up money off of them.

[11:41:57:12 - 11:42:08:07]
Speaker 3
 I don't know if the estate is like paying these people to make this film and like, it just seems so weird. Why are they like painting these people so angelically? It does not make any sense. I mean, it makes sense.

[11:42:08:07 - 11:42:11:13]
Speaker 2
 They're the heroes of this franchise. Yeah, but you don't have to go that far.

[11:42:13:01 - 11:42:17:05]
Speaker 2
 I think that it would really damage the franchise to show them elsewhere.

[11:42:17:05 - 11:42:22:22]
Speaker 3
 But it's on middle grounds. I feel like the earlier films are not quite as-

[11:42:22:22 - 11:42:33:21]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, they placed the middle ground a little better until this one. And this one it felt like, we're gonna make you love less because we might do a spin off TV show and we don't want these characters destroyed.

[11:42:37:00 - 11:42:39:22]
Speaker 1
 This is one of my least favorite of the Conjuring films.

[11:42:39:22 - 11:42:42:12]
Speaker 2
 It's just- I think you need to watch them again.

[11:42:42:12 - 11:42:43:12]
Speaker 1
 Yeah.

[11:42:43:12 - 11:42:49:23]
Speaker 2
 This is the third best. I can't add up with four.

[11:42:51:05 - 11:42:52:22]
Speaker 2
 There's like six. I think it's the number six.

[11:42:52:22 - 11:43:03:17]
Speaker 1
 The official Conjuring, I think this is the fourth one. Is that on? Official Conjuring, not including the off sheets. In-n-on. No, and then the in-n-on, yeah.

[11:43:04:19 - 11:43:10:02]
Speaker 1
 But I liked the first one. I think the first one's still the best.

[11:43:10:02 - 11:43:11:00]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, for sure.

[11:43:11:00 - 11:43:15:20]
Speaker 1
 And whichever one they were in the UK, I found mostly good.

[11:43:17:03 - 11:43:22:03]
Speaker 1
 And I've largely forgotten. Oh, the third one was that really weird, ritualistic one.

[11:43:22:03 - 11:43:23:20]
Speaker 5
 Is the third one the serial killer?

[11:43:23:20 - 11:43:24:14]
Speaker 1
 Yeah,

[11:43:25:22 - 11:43:28:12]
Speaker 1
 underground tunnel, weird shit going on.

[11:43:28:12 - 11:43:29:09]
Speaker 2
 The third one was the,

[11:43:30:14 - 11:43:36:05]
Speaker 2
 well, maybe that was the third one. And then the fourth one was the devil made me do it. The legal case.

[11:43:36:05 - 11:43:37:22]
Speaker 5
 That's the one I was talking about, the serial killer.

[11:43:37:22 - 11:43:41:23]
Speaker 1
 That's the one I was thinking of. The devil made me do it. I don't know.

[11:43:41:23 - 11:43:42:14]
Speaker 2
 Yeah. Who knows?

[11:43:43:17 - 11:43:46:04]
Speaker 2
 Well, I think we're all in agreement. This is a bad movie.

[11:43:47:06 - 11:43:51:09]
Speaker 1
 I tell you, after the first one, they all had a strong, lasting impression.

[11:43:51:09 - 11:43:57:04]
Speaker 2
 The problem is that Vera Farmiga is super likable. Yes. What's his name?

[11:43:58:04 - 11:44:00:09]
Speaker 2
 He's also super likable. So what are you gonna do?

[11:44:01:12 - 11:44:13:10]
Speaker 1
 The leads are fun to watch. And if I had no idea about people to portray, I could see how people love this series because of it too, without. Yeah. Because they are so good.

[11:44:13:10 - 11:44:16:15]
Speaker 2
 That was the highest grossing of the movies in the last one too.

[11:44:16:15 - 11:44:17:07]
Speaker 4
 Yeah.

[11:44:17:07 - 11:44:25:02]
Speaker 1
 And the daughter was nicely charming and her fiance was fine. I think he didn't like it.

[11:44:25:02 - 11:44:28:03]
Speaker 5
 I haven't seen it. I have no opinion whatsoever.

[11:44:28:03 - 11:44:31:06]
Speaker 1
 I thought your reaction was because I could see how somebody didn't like it.

[11:44:31:06 - 11:44:37:03]
Speaker 3
 No, I was still holding on to the disgust of it earning the most of all the films. Just like, oh, that's awful.

[11:44:38:23 - 11:44:39:18]
Speaker 3
 Well, yeah.

[11:44:39:18 - 11:44:44:08]
Speaker 1
 We're also in an uptick of horror doing unbelievably well in the theater.

[11:44:45:12 - 11:44:46:19]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, it's time to be a horror fan.

[11:44:46:19 - 11:44:47:22]
Speaker 5
 That's true.

[11:44:47:22 - 11:44:56:00]
Speaker 1
 That's true. If you love it, great. Don't read about the characters they represent and just enjoy the thoughts. Let us

[11:44:56:00 - 11:44:57:03]
Speaker 2
 tell you a little bit about it.

[11:44:58:12 - 11:45:02:18]
Speaker 2
 I think we have several times. Oh, they aren't the little goddamn thing they spell.

[11:45:03:22 - 11:45:13:04]
Speaker 2
 Okay, well, how about we take a little break? And then when we come back, we are talking about your pick, Eric, which was movies that didn't have any kind of sequels.

[11:45:14:05 - 11:45:29:16]
Speaker 2
 When does the next bunch of Stranger Things episodes? Christmas. Oh, it's on Christmas? I think so.

[11:45:30:18 - 11:45:31:15]
Speaker 5
 Maybe that's what I'm doing.

[11:45:33:03 - 11:45:33:15]
 (Laughing)

[11:45:33:15 - 11:45:34:19]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, it's Christmas time.

[11:45:34:19 - 11:45:35:17]
Speaker 4
 Yeah.

[11:45:36:20 - 11:45:37:06]
Speaker 3
 Yeah.

[11:45:39:05 - 11:45:43:06]
Speaker 5
 Is Welcome to Terry done? The next season? That will be the last episode.

[11:45:43:06 - 11:45:44:08]
Speaker 2
 Okay.

[11:45:45:14 - 11:45:49:00]
Speaker 3
 That's how much I feel like this story is gonna wrap up. I'm like,

[11:45:50:07 - 11:45:58:00]
Speaker 3
 when, are we? It's definitely gonna cut off and then we're gonna have to go to a different time period. So I'm like, I don't know.

[11:45:58:00 - 11:46:02:04]
Speaker 2
 I thought it was supposed to lead into the movies. Well, kind of, 27 years later.

[11:46:02:04 - 11:46:07:09]
Speaker 3
 Oh, my God. Yeah, exactly. This is the cycle before and then it'll do the cycle before that.

[11:46:07:09 - 11:46:08:15]
Speaker 2
 So you watched the last episode.

[11:46:08:15 - 11:46:09:09]
Speaker 4
 Yeah.

[11:46:09:09 - 11:46:24:21]
Speaker 2
 Did you, the scene where they kind of wake him up by breaking the thing. He's basically in Pennywise clown form up to his nose in blood and guts and stuff. And I was like, I don't think that's how he goes to sleep.

[11:46:26:16 - 11:46:33:16]
Speaker 2
 This is ridiculous. He's in great coaching. And maybe he started laughing. Really, this is how he's getting back for 27 years now?

[11:46:33:16 - 11:46:35:13]
Speaker 3
 He's just like nestled, like just hold on.

[11:46:37:18 - 11:46:49:00]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, I did like, they showed the light thing and I was like, okay. Yeah, I was like, that's interesting because I haven't read the book. So I was like, what is this? That was kind of interesting.

[11:46:49:00 - 11:46:50:14]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, and they did that in the movie.

[11:46:50:14 - 11:46:57:15]
Speaker 3
 That's exactly what Austin said to me. And I was like, I don't remember any of this, but that's okay. I believe you. That's probably true.

[11:46:57:15 - 11:47:00:08]
Speaker 1
 All happens over such a long time line. Yeah.

[11:47:01:12 - 11:47:01:19]
Speaker 1
 All right.

[11:47:01:19 - 11:47:03:21]
Speaker 2
 Ready? Coming in. Yeah.

[11:47:07:09 - 11:47:09:07]
Speaker 2
 We'll do Eric.

[11:47:11:02 - 11:47:11:11]
Speaker 5
 That's good.

[11:47:14:00 - 11:47:14:15]
Speaker 1
 Ready? Yeah.

[11:47:19:01 - 11:47:23:02]
Speaker 2
 We have returned. Eric, this was your sub-genre pick.

[11:47:23:02 - 11:47:23:09]
Speaker 1
 Yes.

[11:47:23:09 - 11:47:24:23]
Speaker 2
 Tell us what it is again.

[11:47:24:23 - 11:47:27:12]
Speaker 1
 We're looking at movies that didn't have a sequel

[11:47:28:12 - 11:47:32:16]
Speaker 1
 in some form. So, you know, odds of it being older films are higher,

[11:47:33:17 - 11:47:36:13]
Speaker 1
 but, you know, not guaranteed. There's still some.

[11:47:37:14 - 11:47:41:09]
Speaker 2
 A lot of legacy sequels coming out. That's right. It's not one for this one.

[11:47:42:18 - 11:47:45:06]
Speaker 2
 Okay. Well, why don't you set us off? I'll give you five minutes.

[11:47:45:06 - 11:47:47:07]
Speaker 1
 We're going way back to 1982

[11:47:48:18 - 11:47:53:11]
Speaker 1
 for a Czechoslovakian film called "Ferrat Vampire."

[11:47:55:20 - 11:48:12:19]
Speaker 1
 This is available on cold pics or from suffering in the usual suffering package of a random weird movie just full of crazy extras and stuff. This was directed by, I have no idea, how Czechoslovakian languages go. So we'll just see where this is.

[11:48:14:00 - 11:48:17:09]
Speaker 1
 Did they pronounce J's in Czechoslovakia? Or is it the name? I don't know.

[11:48:18:12 - 11:48:19:16]
Speaker 2
 Listen, the joy of this.

[11:48:19:16 - 11:48:20:15]
 (Laughing)

[11:48:20:15 - 11:48:22:12]
Speaker 2
 That's not good to pronounce anybody's name.

[11:48:22:12 - 11:48:27:09]
Speaker 1
 We'll say Gerard's Herbs, who you might know from "Bulldogs and Cherries,"

[11:48:28:14 - 11:48:36:19]
Speaker 1
 Beauty and the Beast, not anyone you just thought of. And The Cremaker, written by John Flasher. There's an easy one.

[11:48:38:03 - 11:48:40:04]
Speaker 1
 The Man in Gray Diary for a Tale.

[11:48:42:10 - 11:48:46:00]
Speaker 1
 Okay, say the Man in Gray Diary for a Tale, Hard Goodbye's My Father.

[11:48:47:03 - 11:48:55:17]
Speaker 1
 Those are his films listed. Also the director as a writer who's on basically his own films and Johas Nesvada.

[11:48:56:19 - 11:48:57:21]
Speaker 1
 That's not a close one.

[11:48:58:22 - 11:49:04:03]
Speaker 1
 Tomorrow I'll wake up and scald myself with tea. Oh my gosh. No specific.

[11:49:04:03 - 11:49:05:14]
Speaker 3
 That's just a daily event.

[11:49:05:14 - 11:49:09:16]
Speaker 1
 I Killed Eisenstein and The Death of Tarzan.

[11:49:11:07 - 11:49:12:22]
Speaker 1
 So he's got an interesting writing game.

[11:49:14:23 - 11:49:19:10]
Speaker 1
 Jerry Menzel, who's just tons of Czechoslovakian films,

[11:49:20:19 - 11:49:25:12]
Speaker 1
 English language, I think with the interpreter and all my loved ones. Dogmar Hovlova,

[11:49:27:02 - 11:49:27:21]
Speaker 1
 Let's Make an Opera.

[11:49:30:09 - 11:49:42:03]
Speaker 1
 148 films credits now. Wow. He worked a lot there. And John O. Burskoffa, The Blue Tiger and Comeback. Also a costume designer for most of her career.

[11:49:44:02 - 11:49:49:04]
Speaker 1
 Okay, this is a movie about a car that is vampiric.

[11:49:49:04 - 11:49:49:21]
Speaker 3
 What?

[11:49:49:21 - 11:49:52:09]
Speaker 2
 I love it. Yes. Okay.

[11:49:54:02 - 11:50:01:15]
Speaker 1
 The opening credits are the strange just pictures of paintings in close up and stuff. It never really leads to anything. So it's like, okay.

[11:50:04:02 - 11:50:19:12]
Speaker 1
 The car is fairly cool. It's a concept car. I've got a little bit more on it later, but it's black with red trim and everybody that works on it from the high corporation to the mechanics all wear black with red trim.

[11:50:20:20 - 11:50:23:14]
Speaker 1
 The car, to get in and out of the car,

[11:50:24:16 - 11:50:40:00]
Speaker 1
 the entire front door to door and the front windshield all lift up. Oh my God. Which when it first does, it looks really cool. Then later on you realize they're pulling it putting it themselves. It's like a little less cool now, but it still looks wild.

[11:50:42:06 - 11:50:46:20]
Speaker 1
 The movie starts with the vampire car sort of playing around with an ambulance, you think.

[11:50:48:01 - 11:50:55:14]
Speaker 1
 But it actually, the car passes them and they end up seeing that it's wrecked, turned over and the driver is on the side of the road dead.

[11:50:58:20 - 11:51:05:09]
Speaker 1
 With a huge giant bruise on her foot for the accelerator.

[11:51:07:03 - 11:51:13:11]
Speaker 1
 So this is a loose, loose Dracula story.

[11:51:14:15 - 11:51:32:09]
Speaker 1
 And in comes our Van Helsing character to tell us everything that's going on in actually not an or really not an annoying way. It's not just S position. We're just sitting there going, but he said, it's a car that runs on blood and it draws the blood through the gas pedal.

[11:51:33:09 - 11:51:47:20]
Speaker 1
 They said, but those are capillaries, they're too strong. It's like, you know, he uses just a very little fuel to get that, your car where you're going. So it's just pulling through the capillary. It's just what it needs. And the more it needs, the more it pulls as it goes faster and stuff.

[11:51:50:06 - 11:51:55:11]
Speaker 1
 The ambulance driver becomes kind of obsessed with the car and it's sort of a mean of character.

[11:51:57:20 - 11:52:19:01]
Speaker 1
 While investigating the sister of the first lady that died shows up or is it the sister? All kinds of that kind of stuff going on. It's got some great surreal moments and some dream sequence, not exactly subtle commentary on the interference of indifference of suffering of others goes on and sometimes in things that have nothing to do with the movie.

[11:52:20:21 - 11:52:21:01]
Speaker 1
 Okay.

[11:52:23:03 - 11:52:23:15]
Speaker 1
 Got your partner.

[11:52:25:16 - 11:52:32:04]
Speaker 1
 Had a fun little touch where the guy goes to secretly investigate the car and the dog jumps out, protecting the car. Like, nice.

[11:52:33:15 - 11:52:39:07]
Speaker 1
 Honestly, this is fairly well done film. The acting solid, the car is not supernatural.

[11:52:40:10 - 11:52:47:21]
Speaker 1
 It doesn't appear to be a supernatural thing. It can't drive on its own. It doesn't Christine around hunting anybody.

[11:52:52:03 - 11:52:57:21]
Speaker 3
 What happens to the people that it sucks the blood from? Do they become vampires as well?

[11:52:57:21 - 11:52:58:23]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, they become cars.

[11:52:58:23 - 11:53:00:09]
Speaker 3
 That's what I was gonna ask.

[11:53:00:09 - 11:53:06:01]
Speaker 2
 Nope, just good old vampires. Is this a straight? Yeah. So this is not a comedy?

[11:53:06:01 - 11:53:10:20]
Speaker 1
 Nope, it's a straight film. Insane. There's one kind of disturbing thing,

[11:53:12:04 - 11:53:16:17]
Speaker 1
 the lead guy looks so much like Roman Polanski from his fearless vampire killer.

[11:53:16:17 - 11:53:17:21]
Speaker 4
 I'm afraid it's not.

[11:53:17:21 - 11:53:18:20]
Speaker 1
 This is weird.

[11:53:19:20 - 11:53:37:16]
Speaker 1
 But see, a little bit more on the car before you do it. A rally car used in the film is a prototype for an unreleased sports model, SCODA 110 Super Sport produced by SCODA Auto. Now generally referred to as a SCODA Super Sport for odd vampire SRS.

[11:53:40:00 - 11:53:49:06]
Speaker 1
 The car also showed up in "Tomorrow I'll Wake Up "and Scald you with a T." I'm gonna scald myself with a T.

[11:53:50:13 - 11:53:51:20]
Speaker 1
 Any other interesting things?

[11:53:53:20 - 11:54:21:07]
Speaker 1
 Oh, funny little note. One of the first film festivals I ever did had a movie called "Blood Car" which featured a car that ran on blood. This was far more graphic and much funnier. Oh my God. It's a very funny movie actually. But I was so surprised by this film because I expected like your film you were talking about with "Empire in the Dark" earlier, just cheese, weirdness, but it takes itself fairly serious. The acting's good enough

[11:54:22:08 - 11:54:26:01]
Speaker 1
 and just kind of works in a really weird way.

[11:54:28:04 - 11:54:29:10]
Speaker 2
 Man, I love it.

[11:54:29:10 - 11:54:49:01]
Speaker 3
 I don't wanna see that. I cannot fathom. I'm trying so hard to imagine this movie. I cannot. My brain won't explode. It's like, wait, okay. There's a car and it eats people, but not really. It's not supernatural. Cause why we didn't need the blood and then it turns people vampiric, but how does it transduce?

[11:54:49:01 - 11:54:52:01]
Speaker 1
 It really doesn't go into explaining things.

[11:54:52:01 - 11:54:53:12]
Speaker 3
 Is there a lead vampire that turned the car?

[11:54:54:22 - 11:54:55:12]
Speaker 2
 No, maybe.

[11:54:55:12 - 11:54:56:07]
Speaker 3
 Okay.

[11:54:57:15 - 11:55:00:21]
Speaker 2
 Did you say this was 71? 82. 82, okay.

[11:55:01:23 - 11:55:03:03]
Speaker 5
 Wow, sorry. I'm gonna look for this.

[11:55:04:10 - 11:55:07:17]
Speaker 3
 I won't, but thank you for walking this around.

[11:55:09:18 - 11:55:11:06]
Speaker 5
 But that's so you wanna go there.

[11:55:11:06 - 11:55:12:08]
Speaker 3
 I'd love to.

[11:55:13:17 - 11:55:24:20]
Speaker 3
 All right, so I had a hard time choosing cause I felt like I had a lot of good options out there, but I ended up going with the film I've never seen, which is 2003's "Identity."

[11:55:24:20 - 11:55:26:15]
Speaker 4
 Oh yeah, oh yeah.

[11:55:26:15 - 11:55:57:19]
Speaker 3
 Pretty well, a movie that did pretty good. "Budget of 28 Million" got 90.3, directed by James Mangold, who did "A Complete Unknown," "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," "Ford V. Ferrara," "Ferrari," "Logan," "The Wolverine." Just a ton of stuff. Written by Michael Cooney, post-world credits including "Jack Frost." "Jack Frost II," "Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman." Starring a lot of people, it's got John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John Hawks, Alfred Molina,

[11:55:59:05 - 11:56:04:17]
Speaker 3
 Koya Duval, John C. McGinley, Jake Busy, and Prit Taylor-Vince.

[11:56:06:10 - 11:56:30:08]
Speaker 3
 This story follows Malcolm Rivers, who has been convicted for several murders and is sentenced to death. Was less than 24 hours until his execution, his lawyers and his psychiatrist try to stay the verdict and meet with a judge to overturn it. Because they're like, "Hey, there's laws "that you can't just kill crazy people, "and we think he's crazy."

[11:56:31:11 - 11:56:43:17]
Speaker 3
 That's a horrible way of saying that. Meanwhile, on a dark, rainy night, several people wind up stuck at a motel. They are ex-cop, now limo driver, Ed,

[11:56:45:16 - 11:57:23:17]
Speaker 3
 in his client who is a out-of-work actress who was very famous at some point. There's a quiet adolescent kid named Tinney, his stepfather George and his mother Alice, a prostitute Paris, a set of newlyweds, Lou and Ginny, a police officer named Rhodes, and his prisoner, Robert. Is this the prisoner that is going to stay his execution? Did they get caught up in a rainstorm? They're all at this motel because of this horrible, horrible weather that has basically closed all the roads, washed them all out. There's no phone signal. These people are just completely deserted at this motel.

[11:57:25:02 - 11:57:40:11]
Speaker 3
 It seems that maybe they're all there because they have some kind of effect on one another. We see in the opening that the reason why the family are there is because they got a flat tire and they ran over a shoe in the road. The shoe was thrown out by Paris, whose car,

[11:57:41:15 - 11:58:08:02]
Speaker 3
 she had an open top and her suitcase flew open and the shoe fell out. She's there. It just seems like everybody's there because of one another. So while they're at the motel, one by one, people begin to be killed with each of them ending up with a hotel room key found near the bodies, but it's not necessarily their room key. It's room keys that are counting down. So we start with 10 and then the next person has nine, eight.

[11:58:09:07 - 11:58:10:22]
Speaker 3
 So Will Ed, who was our lead,

[11:58:12:12 - 11:58:16:14]
Speaker 3
 played by John Cusack, figure out who the murderer is before it's too late.

[11:58:18:07 - 11:58:45:17]
Speaker 3
 This movie is very much premised on a twist, which I figured out in about the first minute of the film. And I was just like, all right. So in that way it didn't really age particularly well. I felt like I understood exactly where it was going. There was a few details that I had not worked out. So it was still an enjoyable movie. It shot extremely well. I think it looks great. There's so much rain in this film. It is unfathomable. Everybody must have been soaking wet the whole time. It is crazy.

[11:58:47:06 - 11:58:59:19]
Speaker 3
 John Cusack, I think was great in it. He's super likable. He doesn't have to hardly do anything. He's just, this is sort of high Cusack level of himself. He just walks in the set and does his thing.

[11:59:00:20 - 11:59:10:00]
Speaker 3
 There's a moment where they find a head in a dryer. And I was like, you stole that from my bloody Valentine. You should say thank you in the credits. So a little bit of trivia.

[11:59:11:00 - 11:59:24:11]
Speaker 3
 Several endings were filmed in order to shroud the real conclusion and secrecy. Director James Mangold stated in an interview prior to the film's release that he's attracted to a claustrophobic thriller because I don't see it as a genre that's tapped at this point.

[11:59:25:19 - 11:59:36:13]
Speaker 3
 He felt like Roo Window, the others, Polanski's Knife in the Water, Deck Home, The Thing, Alien. These are all great films and do not age. So he wanted to do this.

[11:59:37:13 - 11:59:40:18]
Speaker 3
 Cusack said that he started reading the script and thought, all right,

[11:59:41:21 - 11:59:52:10]
Speaker 3
 I think I know where this is going. We'll see who goes on page 30. He thought he had it pegged. He didn't on page 50. He thought he had it figured out, but he didn't and he kept going all the way at the end of it.

[11:59:53:12 - 11:59:57:12]
Speaker 3
 And he said that it was one of the most clever scripts he's ever read.

[11:59:58:13 - 12:00:00:17]
Speaker 3
 A life-sized dummy was- Not for her, no.

[12:00:01:19 - 12:00:05:04]
Speaker 3
 Not for me. I mean, it's fairness, he's reading a piece of paper.

[12:00:08:04 - 12:00:26:15]
Speaker 3
 And I have the benefit of, I don't know. Like he's, visual. You just see that there's a title to this movie. And I felt like the minute I saw the title, I was like, I bet I know what's gonna happen here. A life-sized dummy was created to depict the murdered character.

[12:00:29:05 - 12:00:56:04]
Speaker 3
 I'm not gonna give away what happens there. One of the studio executives asked to keep the dummy as a souvenir and sort it in his office closet. One night, a cleaning woman opened the closet and was frightened out of her wits. The dummy was then removed from the offices after that incident. And although identity is not a direct remake or anything like that, it is loosely based on a novel and then there were none, sometimes known as 10 Little Indians written by Agatha Christie.

[12:00:57:23 - 12:01:00:00]
Speaker 2
 Sometimes known as something much worse than 10 Little Indians.

[12:01:00:00 - 12:01:05:12]
Speaker 1
 True. Yes. Oh no. Fair point, yes. Oh no, Agatha.

[12:01:05:12 - 12:01:08:02]
Speaker 2
 I loved this movie.

[12:01:08:02 - 12:01:08:20]
Speaker 4
 Yeah?

[12:01:08:20 - 12:01:13:11]
Speaker 2
 Yeah. I really liked it too. I don't think that I figured it out really. I saw this in theater.

[12:01:13:11 - 12:01:14:02]
Speaker 3
 Yeah.

[12:01:15:23 - 12:01:23:12]
Speaker 3
 I think we've had a lot of movies since 2003 that have given me the tools I needed to know where this was going.

[12:01:23:12 - 12:01:28:12]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, yeah. I just remember thinking, you know, wow, Jonathan said, still have it.

[12:01:28:12 - 12:01:28:18]
Speaker 5
 Yeah.

[12:01:28:18 - 12:01:32:06]
Speaker 2
 Yes. Unfortunately, this was like the last of his run to have a good movie.

[12:01:32:06 - 12:01:33:12]
Speaker 3
 Agreed, agreed.

[12:01:33:12 - 12:01:35:00]
Speaker 2
 A little bit.

[12:01:35:00 - 12:01:39:05]
Speaker 3
 But if you wanna see him and Amanda Peat having good chemistry again, watch 2012.

[12:01:39:05 - 12:01:40:18]
Speaker 2
 Oh my God.

[12:01:42:11 - 12:01:48:13]
Speaker 3
 The whole time I was like, this feels familiar. Them looking at each other feels so familiar. Then I was like, oh, that's right.

[12:01:48:13 - 12:01:58:13]
Speaker 1
 Before you start, take a moment, see if I can maybe zoom in on this and get this on camera at some point. That is the carat vampire. Wow, that's amazing.

[12:01:59:19 - 12:02:00:19]
Speaker 3
 It looks very vampire.

[12:02:00:19 - 12:02:01:10]
Speaker 2
 Cool, yeah.

[12:02:02:15 - 12:02:03:19]
Speaker 3
 That's a good choice of cars.

[12:02:03:19 - 12:02:04:12]
Speaker 2
 Yeah.

[12:02:05:20 - 12:02:09:21]
Speaker 1
 Just wanna get that in there, cause you know, car guy you are. Sure.

[12:02:09:21 - 12:02:14:19]
Speaker 2
 Okay, so I'm next. Okay, give myself five minutes.

[12:02:15:19 - 12:02:17:20]
Speaker 2
 You guys, I love my movie. Ooh, oh good.

[12:02:19:10 - 12:02:22:16]
Speaker 2
 It is from 2004 and it is called "Mind Hunters"

[12:02:23:23 - 12:02:40:02]
Speaker 2
 directed by Renny Harlan. Well, okay. Directed "Prison", "Nightmare on Elm Street" for the dream child, "Die Hard 2", "Cliff Hanger", "Long Kiss Goodnight", "Deep Lucy" and just recently "The Strangers" part one, part two and part three, "Femme Still Sucks". Oh, jeez.

[12:02:40:02 - 12:02:40:21]
Speaker 3
 Okay.

[12:02:42:00 - 12:02:51:00]
Speaker 2
 Ripped by Wayne Kramer and Kevin Brodman who wrote movies like "The Cooler", "Running Scared", "The Glimmer Man", "Concenteen".

[12:02:52:14 - 12:03:50:00]
Speaker 2
 Starring, you guys never even heard of this movie, had you? You could have fucking thought of it. Starring Johnny Lee Miller. He was in "Bad Company", "Trainspotting" and seven episodes of "Crown". Catherine Morris, who was in "Bone Tomahawk", "The Dirt" and 156 episodes of "Cold Case". LL Cool J from "Deep Blue Sea", "Howling H2O", "Swat", 323 episodes of "NCIS Los Angeles". Christian Slater, who you might know from "The Name of the Rose", "Heathers", "Pomp of the Volume", "True Romance", 143 other movies in TV series. And Val Kilmer from "Real Genius", "Top Gun", "Willow", "The Doors", "Tombstone", "Kiss Banging", "Benny and the Groover" and so many others that we love. Also in this is "I am Bailey", "Clifton Cullins Jr.", "Will Kemp" and "Patricia Velasquez". So guys, we open on two FBI profilers on a case. Mind hunters, you might call them.

[12:03:51:05 - 12:04:24:08]
Speaker 2
 Sarah and JD are checking out the house where they think a killer has taken three young girls. They're going to call it in, but then they hear a screen coming from inside the house. No time for backup. They rush in and the camera renders on all sorts of little things inside the house. You know, a pack of cigarettes here, place settings at a dining table. And all of this is in this haunted fucking house, a dirty and dilapidated, ready to fall apart. They get into a room and they find the girls dead and the killer has committed suicide. So they call it in and call the crime scene secure. And that's when another killer bursts in and attacks killing them both.

[12:04:24:08 - 12:04:24:18]
Speaker 4
 Wow.

[12:04:24:18 - 12:04:37:02]
Speaker 2
 But guess what guys? This was all an elaborate setup, a very fancy rule playing test, that these two agents failed miserably. We are treated to everyone coming back to life and then disassembling this setup.

[12:04:39:01 - 12:04:45:21]
Speaker 2
 This movie goes off the rails like immediately. So there's no way anything is this elaborate. I know.

[12:04:45:21 - 12:04:51:01]
Speaker 3
 I went on a test to be for all police. Oh wait, go in this haunted house. Yeah.

[12:04:51:01 - 12:05:09:16]
Speaker 2
 So their boss, who was Val Kilmer, lets them know that he is very disappointed and does not have high hopes for either of them passing the final exam, which is happening this weekend. So then we meet all of the profilers in this class at a bar as a quietly profile, all the bar patrons and generally get them all wrong, which is kind of funny.

[12:05:10:16 - 12:05:29:05]
Speaker 2
 The profilers consist of Sarah and JD, who we met, Bobby, Vince, who's in a wheelchair, Nicole, Will, and Lucas. We find out that Vince got a look at all of their personal files and found out that he was not going to be recommended to continue on as a profiler. And when Sarah tries to cheer him up, he lets her know she wasn't either.

[12:05:30:17 - 12:05:30:18]
 (Laughs)

[12:05:30:18 - 12:05:55:19]
Speaker 2
 So then we're on a helicopter to go to this testing ground which is an island that is made just for this. It has an entire fake town on it, mannequins standing everywhere and stuff, populating it, and of course a working lab and sleeping quarters for our mine hunters. Also joining them as a surprise observer is Gabe or LL Cool J, and no one's happy about that.

[12:05:57:10 - 12:05:57:11]
 (Laughs)

[12:05:57:11 - 12:06:07:13]
Speaker 2
 They are all told the basics of a case. There is a killer who has left a few victims and they will be given a series of clues and events and will need to be able to tell their boss who the killer is by the end of the next day.

[12:06:08:18 - 12:06:24:00]
Speaker 2
 Clues start piling up quickly in this town as they explore the island, but the very first murder scene they find also has an elaborate New Goldberg style trap that kills JD as they all watch. Now these guys are smart and they realize that nobody was really supposed to die.

[12:06:24:00 - 12:06:24:22]
 (Laughs)

[12:06:24:22 - 12:06:37:16]
Speaker 2
 And they all hightail it to a boat that is on this dock. But just before they get there, it explodes. Try and land them on the island with the killer. But the killer must be one of them.

[12:06:39:02 - 12:06:52:12]
Speaker 2
 So the rest of this movie is then trying to figure out what's going on while one of the people in their own group is taking them out one by one in these amazing kill scenes that are right out of Final Destination. It's just all this wild shit happens and then suddenly someone's like, "God." Oh my God.

[12:06:54:03 - 12:07:03:18]
Speaker 2
 It's amazing. I don't know if you would call this a horror movie except for all the kills are set up like Final Destination and they're pretty gruesome. So yeah, I love it.

[12:07:03:18 - 12:07:04:11]
Speaker 3
 That's crazy.

[12:07:05:15 - 12:07:12:21]
Speaker 2
 Like I said, it starts so far off the rails that there's nothing for you to believe about any of it. And I was totally fine with all of it.

[12:07:14:02 - 12:07:18:09]
Speaker 2
 Let's see, it is available as a rental on Prime, but just buy it because I watched it three times.

[12:07:19:14 - 12:07:19:16]
 (Laughs)

[12:07:19:16 - 12:07:23:23]
Speaker 2
 There are DVDs of it out there for less than the rental price. So the tagline.

[12:07:25:04 - 12:07:25:07]
 (Machine Whirring)

[12:07:25:07 - 12:07:25:15]
Speaker 2
 Whoa.

[12:07:28:13 - 12:07:34:01]
Speaker 2
 For seven elite profilers, finding a serial killer is a process of elimination.

[12:07:35:06 - 12:07:36:18]
Speaker 5
 Their own. Whoa.

[12:07:37:23 - 12:07:38:04]
Speaker 2
 Whatever.

[12:07:39:08 - 12:07:51:00]
Speaker 2
 I got some pretty good trivia about this. The studio did not cast any character as a lead. Renny Harlan wanted no dummy characters or obvious victims and established a sense that anyone could die at any moment in the film and it worked.

[12:07:51:00 - 12:07:51:20]
Speaker 1
 Thanks.

[12:07:51:20 - 12:07:54:23]
Speaker 2
 Every time you think you know who the killer is, that's the person who dies next.

[12:07:56:01 - 12:07:56:01]
 (Laughs)

[12:07:57:05 - 12:08:59:17]
Speaker 2
 Several variations of the ending were filmed. After numerous test screenings were held in the United States in 2003, the final version of the film was determined for theatrical release. Here's where it gets weird. Originally set for theatrical release in 2003 and then in 2004, even though it had numerous positive test screenings, it was pushed back once again to facilitate improved marketing of the film. But then two massive waves of layoffs occurred at Miramax. You mentioned during this time and the infamous Disney Miramax split reached its height. The film remained in the Dimension Vaults unreleased. When the Disney and Miramax divorce was finally completed, numerous films under the Dimension label were released. This film finally made a theatrical debut in the United States in May of 2005. So it was supposed to come out two years ago. Wow. Renny Harlan has spoken fondly of Mind Hunters, describing it as a film where they really put a lot of work into it and felt it had something special. However, he expressed frustration over its troubled release due to the sale of Miramax to Disney, which left the film in limbo.

[12:09:00:23 - 12:09:10:15]
Speaker 2
 Harlan likened this experience to his earlier film, Prison, which had the same power. Here is the real bummer. $27 million budget gross of about $5 million.

[12:09:10:15 - 12:09:11:14]
Speaker 5
 Oh no.

[12:09:11:14 - 12:09:24:07]
Speaker 2
 Wow. This movie is so good. It's like the last of those early 2000 Dimension films that had just a cast of really good looking kids doing something that was way out of their league.

[12:09:25:10 - 12:09:27:00]
Speaker 2
 So much fun. Mind Hunters.

[12:09:27:00 - 12:09:30:01]
Speaker 3
 That sounds awesome. I want to check that out. Yeah.

[12:09:30:01 - 12:09:31:12]
Speaker 4
 Awesome. Oh.

[12:09:32:20 - 12:09:33:07]
 (Laughing)

[12:09:33:07 - 12:09:33:22]
Speaker 1
 What, what?

[12:09:33:22 - 12:09:34:17]
Speaker 3
 What, what?

[12:09:34:17 - 12:09:35:22]
Speaker 1
 Just turned up.

[12:09:37:12 - 12:09:39:01]
Speaker 1
 Dramatic. I don't want to see it.

[12:09:40:17 - 12:09:40:21]
 (Laughing)

[12:09:40:21 - 12:10:01:14]
Speaker 2
 All right. Well, so normally somebody would be picking the next genre, but I have to tell you folks that Eric and I have heard nonstop from "Lift What and Nothing" about a movie called "Frozen" and just bitching and moaning about it the millions of times she's had to watch it. And we all decided we were going to all watch "Frozen" and discuss it next time.

[12:10:01:14 - 12:10:02:09]
Speaker 1
 Have you heard of it, right?

[12:10:02:09 - 12:10:25:04]
Speaker 3
 Okay. I'm so excited. I cannot begin to tell you guys. It is so rough to watch almost daily a movie for months on ends that no one else has seen or has seen in a very long time. And I'm like, well, okay, what about this part when this thing happens? I'm very excited to have two people at least on this planet to talk to. We'll see that recently.

[12:10:25:04 - 12:10:27:12]
Speaker 2
 I gotta say I'm looking forward to it.

[12:10:27:12 - 12:10:28:03]
Speaker 3
 Yeah. Excellent.

[12:10:28:03 - 12:10:33:12]
Speaker 1
 Maybe some, pour some extra drinks for us. We'll just sit back and occasionally help.

[12:10:34:19 - 12:10:34:19]
 (Laughing)

[12:10:34:19 - 12:10:35:10]
Speaker 1
 What a point of work.

[12:10:37:01 - 12:10:37:01]
 (Laughing)

[12:10:37:01 - 12:10:41:19]
Speaker 2
 Yeah, looking forward to it very much. So that's what we're doing next episode is "Frozen."

[12:10:43:04 - 12:10:58:05]
Speaker 2
 That brings us to the part where we say, "Hey everybody, thank you for liking and sharing posts." For discussing films on the "Strange Yans" radio talk page, for commenting, thumbs upping on YouTube,

[12:10:59:13 - 12:11:09:03]
Speaker 2
 and especially for donating money. It's called "Value for Value." If you get some value out of this, give some value back. And if money is out of the question,

[12:11:10:11 - 12:11:12:08]
Speaker 2
 a nice review. Yeah, nice review.

[12:11:12:08 - 12:11:16:16]
Speaker 3
 Yeah, share it. Share it, tell one of your friends about us, scrub the word.

[12:11:16:16 - 12:11:23:19]
Speaker 1
 I have a question that just popped into my head. As we all know, the social media sites are becoming less social.

[12:11:25:11 - 12:11:25:11]
 (Laughing)

[12:11:25:11 - 12:11:59:16]
Speaker 1
 I remember years ago, reading a thing, "Okay, every four posts, you get an ad." It's like, every four ads, you get posts. Yeah, for sure. But I'm curious if, the trio here, I'll think about it. And if anybody out there is interested in us starting a Discord channel or something like that, where we can, you know, just like the, basically it's like the old forums where we remember that, just reimagined and fancied up. So the young kids, that's just an old forum. It's a forum. It's a forum, it's very basic. Organized.

[12:11:59:16 - 12:12:07:01]
Speaker 3
 Well, I'm on Discord all the time because I use it for work. So yeah, I would actually talk to people on there if we started Discord.

[12:12:07:01 - 12:12:11:03]
Speaker 2
 One of these WordPress nappers will have to explain what Discord is.

[12:12:11:03 - 12:12:11:23]
 (Laughing)

[12:12:13:06 - 12:12:15:19]
Speaker 3
 Do you remember NSN Messenger, AIM chat?

[12:12:15:19 - 12:12:18:18]
Speaker 2
 The boards you were talking about. Yeah, the forums.

[12:12:18:18 - 12:12:23:11]
Speaker 3
 It's literally just a box of texts with people's usernames just talking to each other.

[12:12:23:11 - 12:12:25:22]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, it's pretty sweet. It's lovely, yeah.

[12:12:25:22 - 12:12:33:20]
Speaker 3
 And you have channel discussions too. You can say like, okay, this one is specifically talking about new release movies or this, you know.

[12:12:33:20 - 12:12:34:18]
Speaker 1
 Our latest episode.

[12:12:34:18 - 12:12:36:07]
Speaker 3
 Our latest episode, yeah.

[12:12:36:07 - 12:12:41:17]
Speaker 2
 Okay. Yeah, well, let us know. You know, one of the ways you can let us know is how the message.

[12:12:41:17 - 12:12:56:19]
Speaker 3
 You can call us on the Strange Eons Radio hotline, which is 253-237-4266. Give us a call, give us a text. Eric is waiting by the phone for your messages, for your chats.

[12:12:56:19 - 12:12:59:15]
Speaker 1
 We did get a message not too long ago, but.

[12:13:00:16 - 12:13:04:05]
Speaker 1
 Other people can call too.

[12:13:05:11 - 12:13:05:12]
 (Laughing)

[12:13:05:12 - 12:13:09:12]
Speaker 1
 Thank you. I'm standing by. Thank you for calling again. Calling in again though.

[12:13:09:12 - 12:13:09:20]
Speaker 3
 We're lonely.

[12:13:09:20 - 12:13:10:20]
Speaker 1
 And giving this one.

[12:13:10:20 - 12:13:18:03]
Speaker 3
 I'm lonely. And then Eric gets it. And then he plays it to me. And then I get excited. Cause I'm like, oh, somebody called him.

[12:13:19:14 - 12:13:30:00]
Speaker 2
 All right. Well, this is, you know, falling apart very quickly. So how about, let's say goodbye. We will be back in two short weeks. And we are talking frozen.

[12:13:31:05 - 12:13:31:23]
Speaker 1
 Yeah, really, really.

[12:13:31:23 - 12:13:32:18]
Speaker 2
 See you next time.

[12:13:34:02 - 12:13:34:13]
Speaker 5
 I'm excited.

[12:13:36:16 - 12:13:37:16]
Speaker 5
 Ah, my ears.

Speaker 4
 Awful.

Speaker 3
 I'm looking for this one. I'll do wicked and kill Bill the whole bloody affair.

[12:13:51:19 - 12:13:58:05]
Speaker 2
 You saw wicked. I did. And you saw the whole bloody affair. Did you go down to Oregon for that?

[12:13:58:05 - 12:14:01:12]
Speaker 3
 No, they were playing it at the cinema.

[12:14:02:21 - 12:14:10:18]
Speaker 3
 What? Yeah. Yeah, they did it. They didn't release it. So I think it's, I don't think it's fathom either. I think it's.
