Joining forces with a resourceful seismologist and a quirky survivalist couple, they must fight for survival against the giant, worm-like Graboids using their wits and whatever weapons they can muster. Starring Kevin Bacon (Friday the 13th), Fred Ward, and Reba McEntire.

00:00:25
Hello?
00:00:27
Hi.
00:00:29
I hated that intro.
00:00:31
You didn't really ease us into it.
00:00:34
Hello.
00:00:35
Yeah, I liked that better.
00:00:37
That's good.
00:00:38
Welcome back to the Killer Cuties Podcast.
00:00:41
That's us.
00:00:43
That is us.
00:00:45
We've got so much to talk about.
00:00:46
I know, it's a big day for us.
00:00:50
I'll start.
00:00:52
This is our last episode of May.
00:00:55
So I'm gonna tell everybody about the new horror movies that are coming out in June.
00:00:59
June, June, June.
00:01:00
June, June, June.
00:01:02
Some have said it's the best month of the year.
00:01:04
Best month of the year.
00:01:09
You heard it here first.
00:01:13
So new movies in June.
00:01:15
First one is June 7th.
00:01:16
The Watchers is coming out.
00:01:18
I think there's been quite a bit of promotion and hype around that.
00:01:21
The film follows a young woman played by Dakota Fanning who becomes trapped with
00:01:25
three strangers in a shelter deep within a forest in Ireland where the group must
00:01:29
fight off mysterious creatures every night in order to survive.
00:01:34
Sounds crazy and fun.
00:01:37
Next.
00:01:39
On June 14th, we actually have two movies that are getting limited releases.
00:01:43
One is Tiger Stripes, which is a 2023 Malay language body horror film.
00:01:48
So that's getting a limited release in the US.
00:01:51
And then the other is Latency, also a limited release, but it's about a
00:01:56
professional gamer who suffers from agoraphobia.
00:01:59
So both kind of sound interesting.
00:02:01
After that, we have June 21st, The Exorcism.
00:02:05
It's another Russell Crowe exorcism movie.
00:02:08
Not related to The Pope's Exorcist.
00:02:12
But yeah, so it stars Russell Crowe as Anthony Miller.
00:02:15
He's a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural
00:02:19
horror film.
00:02:20
So who knows- if you like The Pope's Exorcist, maybe you'll like this too.
00:02:25
I don't even know if it's fair to compare them, but it's Russell Crowe in an
00:02:29
exorcism.
00:02:30
Who's to say?
00:02:33
I will
00:02:34
do that right now and forever.
00:02:39
And then on June 28th, we have two movies as well.
00:02:43
One is called The Devil's Bath, which takes place in 1750 Austria and centers
00:02:48
around a deeply religious woman named Agnes who starts to have evil thoughts
00:02:53
until the possibility of committing a shocking act of violence seems like the
00:02:57
only way out of her inner prison.
00:02:58
Been there.
00:02:59
Haven't we all?
00:03:01
Am I right, ladies?
00:03:04
And then finally, also on June 28th, we are getting A Quiet Place Day One.
00:03:09
So that is the franchise spinoff.
00:03:11
It's gonna deviate from the Abbott family story.
00:03:14
John Krasinski has said that it's gonna follow Lupita Nyong 'o's character in New
00:03:17
York and kind of take us back to where that all began.
00:03:20
Should be fun.
00:03:22
I'm excited, as long as the cat lives.
00:03:24
The cat.
00:03:26
There's a cat, she has a cat.
00:03:28
in the trailer?
00:03:31
Have you seen the trailer?
00:03:33
Yeah, I don't remember a cat at all.
00:03:37
not not boding well for that cat.
00:03:39
It just sounds bad if you ask me, but...
00:03:44
All exciting.
00:03:45
Yeah!
00:03:47
Lots of new ones coming out.
00:03:48
Yeah, we've got a lot of good horror news too.
00:03:51
Yeah?
00:03:52
Yeah, James Wan, who brought us Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring, is set to head
00:03:57
up the development of a new horror series that reimagines the Munsters.
00:04:02
And it's more horror forward.
00:04:04
It's called 1313, which comes from the family's address, 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
00:04:09
We don't have any release details yet.
00:04:11
I'm not even sure it's like actively greenlit.
00:04:14
I think it's still like in talks, but we will keep you posted as we get more
00:04:21
details.
00:04:21
Alright, I like it.
00:04:23
On my end, Warner Brothers released a brand new trailer for Beetlejuice
00:04:27
Beetlejuice.
00:04:29
So that comes out in September of this year.
00:04:31
And it's pretty clear from the trailer that they've stuck to the original's roots
00:04:34
and kind of kept the effects very practical.
00:04:38
So that's exciting.
00:04:40
We love that.
00:04:43
But yeah, it also gives you kind of a first look at new and returning
00:04:47
characters.
00:04:48
So definitely check it out.
00:04:49
Cute.
00:04:49
Speaking of practical.
00:04:51
My god, what a segue.
00:04:53
We've got two new images from Alien: Romulus, which as a reminder comes out
00:04:58
August 16th.
00:05:00
One of the images is of Cailee Spaeny and the image is like really similar- it's got
00:05:06
the same vibes as Sigourney Weaver in the original Alien.
00:05:10
So I love that.
00:05:12
And then the second image is a few more cast members in a set, like in a
00:05:18
beautifully designed, foggy, spaceship -y looking set.
00:05:22
And we've talked a lot about how Fede Alvarez is super committed to maintaining
00:05:26
practical effects for that movie.
00:05:28
So it's fun to see that coming to life in these new images.
00:05:31
Yeah, I love that.
00:05:32
Mm -hmm.
00:05:32
You won't believe this, but speaking of effects.
00:05:39
Actually though, a few episodes, we talked about Tom Savini.
00:05:43
He's a legendary special effects artist who's worked on films like Dawn of the
00:05:46
Dead, Maniac, Friday the 13th, Creepshow, and many, many more.
00:05:51
But we recently learned that he's gonna to be making an appearance in Terrifier 3.
00:05:54
So we don't really have any details on the role that he's going to be playing, but
00:05:58
still exciting to know that he's going to be a part of
00:06:01
So cute.
00:06:04
Love it.
00:06:05
One more for me has nothing to do with effects.
00:06:08
Well, I mean, it kind of does.
00:06:10
I mean, sorta.
00:06:13
Several episodes ago, we shared the spec map, the speculation map for Halloween
00:06:19
Horror Nights.
00:06:20
We now have five new confirmed Halloween Horror Nights mazes for 2024.
00:06:26
gonna scream.
00:06:27
Yeah, we've got Slaughterhouse Cinema 2, which is basically a walkthrough B -movie
00:06:34
marathon.
00:06:36
So fun.
00:06:38
Goblins Feast, where you become the main course in a tavern full of orcs, witches,
00:06:43
and goblins.
00:06:45
That doesn't sound scary at all.
00:06:47
Goblin feast sounds like a Saturday night at my house, so.
00:06:51
any night at either of our houses.
00:06:53
Then we also have Major Sweets Candy Factory, the Museum of Deadly Exhibits,
00:07:00
and Monstros?
00:07:01
Monst...
00:07:02
it's not Monstros.
00:07:03
I think it's monsters in Espanol.
00:07:06
Monstros?
00:07:08
It's the Monsters of Latin America.
00:07:09
Okay, I feel like that was like one of the predictions, like a few of those were kind
00:07:13
of predictions that people had.
00:07:15
Yeah, and there's still a bunch more that have yet to be announced, so keep your
00:07:19
eyes open.
00:07:21
yeah, it looks like those are more of like the general ones.
00:07:24
I feel like usually they keep the more, the bigger licenses kind of hidden until
00:07:30
it's a little bit closer, so.
00:07:32
Yeah, and the two big ones that they think are going to be licensed are Quiet Place
00:07:40
and Ghostbusters.
00:07:42
Eh.
00:07:43
Yeah, it is what it is.
00:07:46
Quiet place will be fun.
00:07:46
think I have a personal vendetta against Ghostbusters, not because of the movies or
00:07:50
anything- specifically tied to Halloween Horror Nights because I remember, I think
00:07:55
it was the first time I went.
00:07:57
We got the general tickets and you just stand in lines for hours trying to get in.
00:08:03
And was the last one that we went to- was the Ghostbusters one and we were in line,
00:08:07
it said 20 minutes, we were in line for like an hour and a half and we finally got
00:08:11
to it and it sucked.
00:08:12
It was the worst one of the night and we were like, we're going home.
00:08:16
Yeah, no way.
00:08:18
my god, can you imagine?
00:08:19
I mean, yes, you can because you were there, but.
00:08:22
I can not only imagine, I can remember.
00:08:25
Yeah.
00:08:27
It was rough, but no hate to Ghostbusters.
00:08:29
It wasn't their fault, I guess.
00:08:31
Well, that's what you missed on Horror News.
00:08:35
That, yeah, shit.
00:08:37
Should we talk about tremors?
00:08:39
Okay.
00:08:41
Dune Horror Comedy Prequel.
00:08:44
Nobody forgot about it, first of all.
00:08:46
Let's start there.
00:08:52
Okay, so just a rundown if it's been a while since you've seen it, I'm just gonna
00:08:55
assume you've seen it.
00:08:57
Repair men Val and Earl are tired of their dull lives in Perfection, Nevada, but just
00:09:01
as the two try to skip town, they happen upon a series of mysterious deaths and a
00:09:06
concerned seismologist studying unnatural readings below the ground.
00:09:09
With the help of an eccentric couple, the group fights for survival against giant
00:09:13
worm -like monsters hungry for human flesh.
00:09:18
That's from Google.
00:09:20
Sounds like it.
00:09:21
Yeah, you gotta really make it sound like scary.
00:09:26
Because this movie is not.
00:09:30
But it was directed by Ron Underwood.
00:09:32
Screenplay was by Brent Maddock and S .S.
00:09:34
Wilson and stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and Finn Carter.
00:09:38
Has a 7 .2 on IMDb and an 88 % critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:09:43
And while it wasn't a breakout star at the box office, it did become like an absolute
00:09:47
smash when it went to home video, it spawned multiple sequels as well as a TV
00:09:50
show.
00:09:51
So.
00:09:52
It became a success even if it wasn't initially a super success.
00:09:57
It didn't do ter- - it wasn't like a box office flop but it didn't do as well as it
00:10:01
- they were hoping it was.
00:10:03
Yeah.
00:10:04
Yeah.
00:10:05
I mean, Kevin Bacon initially regretted having been in it, which shame on you,
00:10:11
Kevin.
00:10:12
to his senses.
00:10:13
Okay.
00:10:14
It only took him 30 years.
00:10:19
Eh.
00:10:20
But he did eventually say that it was the most fun he ever had making a movie,
00:10:24
which, I mean, it looked like it.
00:10:27
yeah, that had to be a blast to do.
00:10:29
But yeah, I remember, I think it was like when he was filming it, he like broke down
00:10:35
one day and was talking to his pregnant wife at the time.
00:10:39
He was like, "I can't believe I'm doing a movie about underground worms." Like
00:10:42
what's happening?
00:10:46
poor guy.
00:10:47
Yeah, little did he know it would turn out to be his best film.
00:10:51
Best one I've seen.
00:10:52
Thank you.
00:10:53
I think it's Kevin Baco-.
00:10:56
which Kevin Bacon movies have you seen?
00:10:58
Friday the 13th.
00:10:59
That's it.
00:11:01
Yeah.
00:11:04
I think I've never seen Flashdance or whatever he's in.
00:11:09
Is it Fla- Footloose.
00:11:10
Footloose?
00:11:10
he's absolutely not in Flashdance at all.
00:11:14
He is in Footloose.
00:11:16
And I actually haven't seen that either.
00:11:17
It's a dancing movie.
00:11:21
Yeah, which I don't mind.
00:11:23
I don't know, just something about a town being like, can't dance.
00:11:27
I'm, I'm...
00:11:27
I saw Dirty Dancing, like I'm good.
00:11:32
No, it's just like also about people being like, you can't dance, you know?
00:11:37
So.
00:11:38
Wow.
00:11:39
He was in Crazy Stupid Love.
00:11:40
Haven't seen that either.
00:11:43
Yeah, Kevin Bacon's like, yeah, maybe I will.
00:11:49
He's just one of those people that like, you know him, but you don't know what
00:11:53
from.
00:11:54
You know that everybody's connected to him.
00:11:57
What do you mean?
00:11:59
Six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
00:12:00
That's like a whole joke.
00:12:01
What, that you, there's, everybody's connected to him by six degrees or less?
00:12:06
Oh.
00:12:07
like six degrees of separation, but like people made it about Kevin Bacon.
00:12:11
I six degrees from Kevin Bacon?
00:12:13
Okay, I love that for me.
00:12:15
Yeah, me too.
00:12:16
Cute.
00:12:16
Speaking of his wife, she was incredibly pregnant, third trimester, and this was
00:12:25
filmed in the late 80s when there wasn't cell phones.
00:12:29
So they installed a phone on the set so that Kevin could be in contact with her in
00:12:33
case the baby came.
00:12:35
And she went into labor his last day on set right after filming the scene where
00:12:41
Walter is killed by the Graboid.
00:12:44
Yeah.
00:12:45
It's kind of fun.
00:12:45
I just feel like...
00:12:46
I mean, I guess it's kind of like a different career, right?
00:12:51
Because if you have a regular job, right, and you go into labor, typically you can
00:12:57
just be like, hey, I have to leave work.
00:12:59
Like, you know, my partner's in labor.
00:13:02
But when you're filming on location, you can't really just be like, I got to leave
00:13:08
early, boss.
00:13:09
Yeah.
00:13:10
And also, like, where was she calling from?
00:13:13
Was it nearby?
00:13:14
Was it?
00:13:16
Did he need to like fly there?
00:13:18
Who knows?
00:13:19
I'm assuming that they lived in Los Angeles and they didn't film in Los
00:13:23
Angeles, so like...
00:13:26
If they were out in some desert town, I feel like they probably would have taken a
00:13:29
while to get there.
00:13:32
But also, labor's not as quick as they show it to you in the movies, you know?
00:13:35
Was for me.
00:13:36
Really?
00:13:37
Yeah, popped her right out.
00:13:38
Good for you.
00:13:39
I mean, I was also like a week and a half late.
00:13:42
Like she was 41 and a half weeks and I wanted to die.
00:13:47
So I was like, get the fuck out of me.
00:13:49
And then she was.
00:13:51
great.
00:13:51
Yeah.
00:13:52
I don't know.
00:13:54
My mom was in labor for like a sh- Like two days.
00:13:59
Yeah.
00:14:00
I'm surprised they let it go on that long.
00:14:02
Well, my sister was a C -section, so they didn't.
00:14:07
They were like, you gotta go.
00:14:09
Yeah, and then weirdly I was not, which I think is more, it's not as weird today as
00:14:17
it was back then.
00:14:18
Like, back then, back when I was a baby.
00:14:22
Shut your fucking mouth.
00:14:25
Yeah, back in the 90s, like that was not.
00:14:29
If you had a C -section, you were having a C -section for all of your other kids.
00:14:34
Yeah.
00:14:35
Yeah.
00:14:36
Anyway.
00:14:37
Anyways, now that we've gone through pregnancy expectations.
00:14:42
Back to the movie, I suppose.
00:14:47
my favorite fact.
00:14:48
One of my favorite facts.
00:14:49
First of all, not going to lie.
00:14:51
There were a lot of facts about this movie that had to do with guns and that's just
00:14:54
like so not my vibe.
00:14:56
I feel like every movie that features guns has so many facts about guns or cars.
00:15:02
So many facts about like, this is the make and model of the car.
00:15:05
And I understand, like that's really interesting to some people.
00:15:09
I literally could not care less.
00:15:13
So I don't care.
00:15:16
screen right now, I literally wrote, which I simply could not care less about.
00:15:24
Yeah.
00:15:25
anyway, that's what I was gonna talk about.
00:15:26
I was gonna talk about my favorite fact.
00:15:29
This movie was originally R -rated because it had the fuck word in it 20 times.
00:15:33
The fuck word, yes.
00:15:35
took all but two of the fucks out.
00:15:37
There's two left.
00:15:38
And then they dubbed over it with sucker, humper, and shit.
00:15:43
Yeah, the two mother humpers really tickle me.
00:15:47
I think that's really funny.
00:15:50
Well, especially because his mouth is saying, fucker, but his sound is humper.
00:15:58
It's iconic.
00:15:58
I love it.
00:15:59
It's my favorite thing.
00:16:00
It is, yeah.
00:16:02
I think they should do that in more movies.
00:16:04
Just dub over and make it obvious.
00:16:07
Like, I wanna look and know that you did that.
00:16:11
That shit's funny.
00:16:13
Mm -hmm.
00:16:15
I like that the filmmakers and the producers, I think kind of had like a
00:16:20
different idea of what they wanted for a few things.
00:16:25
And one of those was at first when they were writing it and had this idea for it,
00:16:31
they were like, there's just going to be mysterious deaths around the town.
00:16:34
And you don't know that it's monsters under the ground until later.
00:16:39
And then,
00:16:40
the producers were like, we're marketing it as a monster movie.
00:16:42
And they were like, okay, so I guess we have to show the monsters earlier.
00:16:47
So that wasn't supposed to happen.
00:16:48
The first monster death I think was gonna be the construction workers.
00:16:53
And you weren't really gonna know about it.
00:16:55
And then they added in the scenes earlier on.
00:16:58
Cute.
00:16:59
Yeah, I think that would have been kind of fun to be like, my god, what's happening?
00:17:03
But there's also a giant graboid on the poster, so...
00:17:06
and it's not even like an anatomically correct graboid.
00:17:09
Exactly.
00:17:10
Which is like, you took the time to scientifically name it and you couldn't
00:17:14
even anatomically correct it on the- -
00:17:16
whatever.
00:17:17
Which, weird fact is, in some places it says that the scientific name is Caderis
00:17:24
Americana and in some it says Caderis Mexicana.
00:17:26
Yeah.
00:17:26
I think what happens is that once you get into the sequels of it, there's different
00:17:33
ones from different places.
00:17:36
Yeah, so there's like American Graboids, there's African Graboids, there's like,
00:17:40
they're all over.
00:17:42
Yeah, so it's like, and they have different phases of their life cycle too.
00:17:48
So like, one phase is like the Ass Blasters.
00:17:51
And then...
00:17:53
that.
00:17:55
and then like some of them can fly.
00:17:57
And there's just like...
00:18:00
Yeah.
00:18:01
So they really expand upon the graboid universe, I guess.
00:18:07
Really is better than Dune.
00:18:08
They just have the one Graboid.
00:18:10
It's, yeah, it's so much better than Dune.
00:18:14
See, I don't even need to watch Dune.
00:18:15
You want me to watch Dune so bad, but I don't have to because I've seen Tremors.
00:18:20
I've seen Tremors.
00:18:21
Yeah.
00:18:21
So it's like, I understand sand worms.
00:18:26
More than most, I think.
00:18:29
Yeah, I mean, I mean now I understand both.
00:18:34
So I have that going for me.
00:18:36
I have that little advantage.
00:18:38
Right, you have dual Sandworm knowledge.
00:18:40
Yeah.
00:18:41
Yeah.
00:18:41
Dual sandwormenship.
00:18:46
I hated that.
00:18:48
They also went through a bunch of redesigns of the worms themselves.
00:18:53
Apparently...
00:18:55
Yeah, well, that or also they were supposed to be kind of dull, like a dry
00:19:03
outer shell, but it made them look like they were covered in nail polish.
00:19:07
So then they added slime.
00:19:09
And then to your point, the outer shell was supposed to pull back and reveal an
00:19:12
inner worm.
00:19:14
And they did create it.
00:19:15
And it made people giggle.
00:19:17
So, yeah.
00:19:19
So they ended up making a larger worm with small worm tongues as if that was somehow
00:19:24
better than the phallic worm.
00:19:25
I don't know.
00:19:27
Well, they also did that for budgeting, because they couldn't show the big, they
00:19:31
didn't have enough money to show the big worm every time it attacked.
00:19:34
So the smaller worms were kind of their budget -friendly version of showing the
00:19:39
monster, but also staying within budget.
00:19:43
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:45
I love that the final graboid death is a miniature.
00:19:48
I know.
00:19:50
Yeah, they use like miniatures and puppets a lot for this.
00:19:54
Yeah.
00:19:56
Yeah.
00:19:57
design the monster design and the puppetry and the mechanics of it.
00:20:04
Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff.
00:20:05
It's their first movie.
00:20:07
This is they handled the practical effects and all the monstering and puppetry.
00:20:11
They went on to win Academy Awards for their work on Alien 3 and a couple other
00:20:20
movies.
00:20:20
I forget what else.
00:20:21
Oh, Death Becomes Her.
00:20:24
Yeah.
00:20:25
Yeah, I want to say that- wasn't this Ron Howard's first film too.
00:20:29
I think it was his directorial debut.
00:20:32
Ron Howard or Ron Underwood?
00:20:34
Did I say Ron Howard?
00:20:35
Yeah, I don't think Ron Howard's in this one, but he could be.
00:20:40
Ron Howard has nothing to do with this.
00:20:44
Yes, this is Ron Underwood's directorial debut.
00:20:48
His first feature film.
00:20:54
Yeah, and I think it was Reba McEntire's first acting gig as well.
00:20:57
So a lot of people like this was kind of their first experience.
00:21:00
Yeah, and Ron didn't even want Reba.
00:21:02
I know.
00:21:03
He was like, you're a gimmick, I'm not hiring you.
00:21:06
And then she auditioned and he's like, I am so sorry, you are welcome here, please
00:21:12
be Heather.
00:21:14
As he should, he should apologize to her.
00:21:17
She was great.
00:21:19
Yeah, yeah, I love her.
00:21:21
Yeah, who doesn't.
00:21:23
I don't know what possessed me to do this.
00:21:26
I think it's because I had such a good time watching this movie.
00:21:29
I watched all the credits.
00:21:31
Don't know why.
00:21:33
But they credited a sage wrangler, like the plant, a dirt wrangler, like the
00:21:41
earth.
00:21:43
And they had, we just complained about the, okay, just a little context.
00:21:47
We just watched this movie, Crawl.
00:21:51
It's like,
00:21:53
Yeah.
00:21:54
and I didn't ever check to see if they had like a consultant like a reptile or a
00:21:59
crocodilian consultant, but I'd be willing to bet that they did not.
00:22:01
Yeah, this movie had a seismology consultant and they call her the
00:22:08
earthquake woman or something.
00:22:10
The Queen of Earthquake.
00:22:12
I don't know.
00:22:13
She's legit.
00:22:15
She was like a...
00:22:16
Yeah, she was a...
00:22:19
something.
00:22:19
I don't remember.
00:22:20
Dr.
00:22:21
Kate is what they call her.
00:22:22
But they also call her like queen of the - I'm gonna look it up.
00:22:26
Dr.
00:22:27
Kate Earthquakes?
00:22:29
They call her...
00:22:31
Earthquake Lady.
00:22:31
I don't like that near as much as the ones we were coming up.
00:22:35
They got a professional seismologist to call her earthquake lady.
00:22:40
Yeah, well, I mean, everybody calls her that, not the cast and crew.
00:22:45
Okay, I was like, you better put some respect on the quake queen's name.
00:22:49
they called her Dr.
00:22:50
Kate in the credits, but the world, she was a professor, calls her Earthquake
00:22:58
Lady.
00:22:58
Got it, okay.
00:22:59
Yeah, so you know she's legit.
00:23:00
I mean, she's the earthquake lady.
00:23:05
Yeah, but I loved that.
00:23:06
A dirt wrangler.
00:23:07
I want to be a dirt wrangler.
00:23:08
I want to wrangle dirt for a movie with Kevin Bacon in it.
00:23:12
Yeah.
00:23:14
Yeah.
00:23:15
Yeah.
00:23:15
Yeah.
00:23:15
I like at the beginning of the scene, I watched this with some friends this time.
00:23:22
I've seen this movie probably a hundred times, but yeah, and my friend like kept
00:23:28
laughing at the beginning of the movie when Kevin Bacon's like trying to like hit
00:23:32
the staple with the hammer and he just keeps missing.
00:23:36
And that was improv.
00:23:37
Kevin Bacon just decided to do that and Fred Ward's reaction was just completely
00:23:41
genuine because he was like, what the fuck are you doing?
00:23:43
Am I the only one that finds it very hard to hit nails with hammers?
00:23:50
I miss every fucking time.
00:23:52
How far back are you pulling?
00:23:54
Because you can just...
00:23:55
You don't gotta go that far.
00:23:57
Well, no, if I go, if I like have to, if I'm like, if I'm going for it, I'm
00:24:01
missing.
00:24:02
If I can tap it in, that's easy.
00:24:04
That's like.
00:24:04
why are you going for it?
00:24:06
Because, I mean, I don't want to sit there for 10 hours while I tap it in.
00:24:10
Sometimes you just want to like just hit it three times, just like, you know?
00:24:14
I guess like when I'm hitting and I'm like, this is the farthest back I'm going,
00:24:19
you know, it's just like half a foot.
00:24:22
I'm not, I'm not, you know, tossing it from across the room trying to hit a nail.
00:24:28
Well, I think the other thing is like what I'm I'm not talking about nailing things
00:24:32
to into the wall because when I nail things into the wall, I use the stud
00:24:35
finder.
00:24:36
Great.
00:24:37
Cause right?
00:24:37
I mean, you just have it, you know?
00:24:41
But when you're doing it, like when you're doing it, like.
00:24:42
I don't know, I can't hit nails.
00:24:45
Yeah, I mean, I do have construction projects, thank you.
00:24:48
You're trying to be facetious, but I have construction projects.
00:24:53
I don't think I've, well that's not true.
00:24:56
In my adult life, I don't think I've ever used a hammer to do anything but hang
00:25:01
stuff up on my walls.
00:25:03
Or like build a piece of furniture.
00:25:06
Yeah.
00:25:06
Yeah, and I don't need to like swing that hard for that.
00:25:10
So.
00:25:10
well.
00:25:10
Just me then.
00:25:11
Between us, I'm sure there are people out there who struggle like you do.
00:25:16
I can't be the only one.
00:25:17
You rarely are.
00:25:20
Yeah.
00:25:20
I've got some
00:25:21
quirks.
00:25:22
That's what makes you so much fun.
00:25:28
Thanks.
00:25:29
You talked about redesigns of the of the Graboids and another one of the early
00:25:34
concepts that they dropped was that they were gonna have the ability to like mimic
00:25:38
sounds so they could lure you in and then they dropped it.
00:25:43
They were like these guys have way too many things that they can do.
00:25:45
We gotta cut something out.
00:25:49
Yeah, they're too strong.
00:25:51
They had to nerf them.
00:25:52
The sounds that they did end up going with are like reused everywhere.
00:25:58
There's one scene, I think it was the like basement scene with Heather and like the
00:26:03
shootout or whatever, where it kind of sounded like big cat.
00:26:07
I couldn't confirm that anywhere, but I'm pretty sure there's some like big cat
00:26:11
thrown in there.
00:26:12
But anyway, the sounds that they use for the Graboids has been reused in Predator
00:26:17
2, Star Troopers, Antz, Mosquito,
00:26:21
Eight -Legged Freaks, Kong: Skull Island, and like a zillion de others.
00:26:25
As they should.
00:26:26
Yeah, I mean, don't fix it if it's not broken.
00:26:29
Use tremors in more media.
00:26:31
Yeah, if anybody can confirm that it's big cats, that would make me feel very good
00:26:34
because it sounds like a big cat.
00:26:36
Yeah, Kevin Bacon, let us know.
00:26:38
Please.
00:26:39
I want to know who your least favorite character was and why was it Melvin.
00:26:43
Which one's Melvin?
00:26:44
Fucking annoying ass teenager.
00:26:48
I thought he was kind of funny.
00:26:49
I Love the scene where I think Val and Earl are like walking outside and they're
00:26:54
like, "I'm gonna kick his ass, I'm gonna help!"
00:26:56
Yeah.
00:26:58
Yeah.
00:26:59
we were watching, like, our whole chat was just like, fucking Melvin!
00:27:03
Here he goes again!
00:27:06
Yeah, no, I mean, to be honest, there's not a single character in this movie that
00:27:09
I did not like, which is a surprise because Ariana was her face is in it and I
00:27:16
hate her in Jurassic Park.
00:27:18
Sorry.
00:27:19
She's the one that plays the little girl, right?
00:27:22
Yeah.
00:27:24
In Jurassic Park as well.
00:27:27
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:28
Yeah.
00:27:29
But no, she was very enjoyable in this movie.
00:27:30
She did a great job.
00:27:31
She did, bouncing on her little pogo stick.
00:27:35
I could when I was a kid, but I have not tried since I was probably seven, so.
00:27:42
One time I went to take in cans to the recycling, which is a thing that you do in
00:27:46
California, and there was a huge like palette of Disney princess branded pogo
00:27:53
sticks.
00:27:54
I stole one.
00:27:54
Allegedly.
00:27:56
Well, I mean, it was, it was, I mean, it's like the dump, it's trash.
00:27:59
I mean, it's not like, I'm not like incriminating myself.
00:28:04
No, I, that was a very long time ago and I didn't even take it out of the box.
00:28:08
I just wanted to have it, just, I took a picture.
00:28:11
I'll see if I can find the picture.
00:28:12
There's a lot of them, so many.
00:28:14
interesting.
00:28:16
The pogo sticks weren't selling.
00:28:18
I don't think that's a toy that like, made it.
00:28:21
You don't think so?
00:28:23
I think they were pretty big in the 90s.
00:28:24
yeah, yeah, in its day, but it's not a toy that people still play with.
00:28:30
I don't think I've ever heard of someone in this day and age being like, sorry, I
00:28:35
gotta take my daughter to the park, she wants to pogo.
00:28:38
Well, I mean, yeah, I think nowadays if you're pogoing, it's like extreme pogoing.
00:28:43
You know, like on TikTok where they like do like flips and shit.
00:28:46
You know?
00:28:46
know.
00:28:46
Wow.
00:28:47
Okay, so there's like professional pogoers.
00:28:50
Got it.
00:28:52
Like they're sponsored by Red Bull.
00:28:54
Pogo stickers.
00:28:57
okay.
00:28:57
Well, there's a market for it, I guess.
00:29:00
It just feels like, you know, like a like a Rubik's Cube.
00:29:03
Like that stood the test of time, like people still play with those today, you
00:29:06
know.
00:29:08
It's not- a Pogo stick's more like a like a Skip It.
00:29:11
Kids today don't skip it.
00:29:13
Not like I did in my day.
00:29:15
Yeah, I used to skip it.
00:29:17
All over the place.
00:29:19
Yeah, and then when it would like hit your Achilles tendon, you'd just crumple.
00:29:24
Yeah.
00:29:25
Go down like a sack of potatoes.
00:29:27
today don't know the pain of getting hit with a Skip It.
00:29:31
Yeah.
00:29:31
Oof.
00:29:32
Ouch.
00:29:33
used to fucking love that thing.
00:29:35
Yeah, I used to try to get it up as high on my leg as I could.
00:29:41
that's just asking for trouble.
00:29:44
yeah, there are times I tripped over and fell on my face.
00:29:46
What a great toy.
00:29:47
Yeah.
00:29:48
The horse-
00:29:49
Mmm, yeah, I you'd want to talk about the horse.
00:29:52
Yeah, so first of all, during that scene, you can like see all of the wires and
00:29:58
stuff that are holding the horse down, which- let me back up for a second.
00:30:03
This is the first time I watched a movie using X -Ray by Amazon, and I actually
00:30:09
thoroughly enjoyed it.
00:30:11
It shows you the movie and then it shows you the actors that are playing the
00:30:15
characters on screen and then like the name of the characters.
00:30:18
And then every once in a while,
00:30:20
it'll pop up a fun fact about what's happening on the screen.
00:30:23
So like during the horse scene, it told me, if you look right now, you can see the
00:30:30
like wires holding the horse down or whatever.
00:30:33
That's kind of cool.
00:30:34
Yeah.
00:30:36
sense because I'm pretty sure IMDb is owned by Amazon.
00:30:40
So then it's like that's- I fucking love the fact section.
00:30:46
of my facts from.
00:30:47
And I think there was very little, what?
00:30:53
Most of it was overlap.
00:30:54
Most of the facts on X -ray were like direct from IMDb.
00:31:00
Yeah, so that checks out.
00:31:02
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:03
But anyway, to simulate the monster attacking the horse, they made fake
00:31:07
tentacles, wrapped him around the horse, and then some of the tentacles had like an
00:31:12
inner mechanism, like puppetry or like some sort of like mechanical something or
00:31:18
another that is operated manually.
00:31:20
The horse was like totally fine with it.
00:31:23
He just kind of laid down what she was trying to do.
00:31:25
They put collapsible stirrups on him so that he was not injured at all.
00:31:30
And then-
00:31:31
He was actually sedated briefly.
00:31:34
Humane Society was there.
00:31:36
They had a veterinarian on staff.
00:31:38
It just kind of gave him a little, a little, to take the edge off, you know?
00:31:43
Yeah.
00:31:45
And then some pieces they used a fake horse flank too, like a prop horse.
00:31:50
Like when he's being bitten into, that was obviously not actually happening to the
00:31:54
horse.
00:31:56
Yeah.
00:31:58
But I thought that was interesting that they drugged him.
00:32:01
Can you imagine?
00:32:03
They're just like, yeah, we just cut the horse in half.
00:32:06
Our bad.
00:32:08
Friday the 13th.
00:32:09
Yeah.
00:32:10
Kevin Bacon learned from his mistakes.
00:32:12
I don't think we can blame him for that.
00:32:14
No.
00:32:15
But I bet he had a say in it.
00:32:17
I- bet he was like, I bet he was like, remember when we killed that snake?
00:32:21
Yeah, he was probably traumatized.
00:32:22
I mean, I'm making shit up.
00:32:23
I'm hoping that he was traumatized.
00:32:25
in Tremors, he was like, hey, let's not kill the horse.
00:32:28
Yeah, I'm sure that the plan was to kill the horse and then Kevin Bacon saved that
00:32:32
horse's life.
00:32:34
Yeah.
00:32:35
That's a fact that we just made up right now.
00:32:38
Kevin Bacon saved that horse's life in Tremors.
00:32:43
Mm hmm.
00:32:44
Yeah.
00:32:45
You heard it here first.
00:32:46
We're gonna gonna get sued.
00:32:48
Who cares?
00:32:49
Wouldn't even be the worst thing that happened to me today?
00:32:51
Jesus.
00:32:52
Getting sued by Kevin Bacon would absolutely be the worst thing that
00:32:55
happened to me today.
00:32:57
I think it'd be kind of fun.
00:32:59
My day's been pretty neutral so far, so...
00:33:03
Yeah.
00:33:04
Do you want to hear me admit that I'm a hypocrite a little bit?
00:33:11
I would enjoy nothing more.
00:33:14
actually thought you were gonna call me out.
00:33:17
I had my whole defense planned and everything.
00:33:21
No, because as I was watching this and kind of thinking about it, I'm like, man,
00:33:25
they really never explain the character or the Graboids.
00:33:29
Like they never...
00:33:30
And I know producers wanted them to include a scene where they like find alien
00:33:34
eggs and stuff.
00:33:35
And they filmed it and everything.
00:33:36
And then they were like, that doesn't...
00:33:37
No, we don't like that.
00:33:38
Like, let's keep it a mystery.
00:33:39
We don't want it to like...
00:33:41
anybody to predict it, we want it to be open -ended, leave room for sequels and
00:33:45
all that kind of stuff.
00:33:47
And I was like, yeah, love that.
00:33:49
So happy they did that.
00:33:50
Like, I kind of love that it's just like, my God, where did these things come from?
00:33:53
And then I thought back to my criticisms of Arcadian and I was like, why don't they
00:33:57
explain anything?
00:34:00
Yeah, interesting.
00:34:02
I don't know why.
00:34:03
I don't know why it worked for me in this.
00:34:05
You just hate the movies I love.
00:34:07
I did not hate Arcadian.
00:34:09
You gave it a three?
00:34:10
which we've discussed is a bad score.
00:34:13
times do I teach you this lesson, Holman?
00:34:22
mean, I think I...
00:34:24
It's not a bad score.
00:34:25
I think, I mean, they gave us enough that they predate the fossil record, which...
00:34:32
think that was the difference is like in this one.
00:34:35
It gave me something right, like enough to kind of make your own educated guess about
00:34:42
what it is.
00:34:44
And they discuss possibilities to which I know they did in Arcadian, but all of
00:34:48
those like seemed provably incorrect, right?
00:34:53
So that was I think that that was where I kind of held the differences is like,
00:34:57
well, we know it wasn't a guy who
00:34:59
got bit by an insect and turned into a monster because like that's not what the
00:35:02
monsters are right so I don't know but anyways
00:35:06
I did for a moment think, my god.
00:35:09
I've never denied being a hypocrite though.
00:35:12
no, you
00:35:13
It looked like you were going to say something.
00:35:15
Yeah.
00:35:16
Great.
00:35:17
thinking.
00:35:18
the pole vaulting scene was specifically written because there were so many fucking
00:35:25
boulders in the desert.
00:35:28
But once they got there, they realized like the boulders are really far apart.
00:35:32
We're not going to actually be able to pole vault.
00:35:34
So they made fake hollow rocks to pole vault across.
00:35:41
And one day it was really windy as it gets in the high desert and they just started
00:35:46
blowing away.
00:35:47
Hahaha!
00:35:48
They had an earth wrangler, they needed a boulder wrangler!
00:35:54
yeah.
00:35:56
that's really funny though.
00:35:57
But yeah, I know like their plan was always to include something about that
00:36:02
because that's how S.S.
00:36:03
Wilson said that he got the idea for it in the first place was he was working for the
00:36:08
US Navy in the California desert and he was like resting on a rock one day and he
00:36:14
just kept imagining what it would be like if something underground kept him from
00:36:18
getting off the rock and that's kind of where the idea spawned from.
00:36:21
So I think it was important to him to like,
00:36:25
keep that in the movie of them on this rock and they can't get out.
00:36:28
Yeah.
00:36:30
Cute.
00:36:31
Yeah.
00:36:32
I also like the fun fact that Chang's Market was originally written to be owned
00:36:42
by a Vietnamese person and then the name was going to be kind of correlating to
00:36:46
that.
00:36:47
But then they cast Victor Wong and he was like, well, I'm Chinese.
00:36:52
So they were like, got it, just renamed it.
00:36:57
Nevermind.
00:36:59
I know.
00:37:00
I do like that they are.
00:37:02
You know, there's definitely been times where they cast someone who's not from the
00:37:09
country that they're supposed to be portrayed as.
00:37:11
And I don't like that.
00:37:13
So I like that they were very happy to change it based on the actor that they
00:37:17
hired.
00:37:17
Yeah.
00:37:18
They also redid the score, which in hindsight, totally, I can totally hear it.
00:37:29
Robert Fulk was brought in at like the very last minute to re -score the entire
00:37:34
film, but he's not even credited, I don't think.
00:37:38
I read the whole credits and I didn't see him.
00:37:40
yeah.
00:37:42
Ernest Troost is who originally wrote the music and he is credited.
00:37:50
But Robert Folk wrote about 30 minutes of it and he writes the more like punchy,
00:37:58
like trombone heavy or like brass heavy violins, big instruments, like movie
00:38:04
soundtrack.
00:38:05
That's like when all the monsters are attacking and when all the action's
00:38:09
happening.
00:38:09
And then Ernest Troost wrote
00:38:11
all of the more western sounding harmonicas, guitars, and listening back to
00:38:18
it, I went back and listened to a few of the scenes that it called out
00:38:21
specifically, you can totally tell it's two different composers.
00:38:24
Yeah.
00:38:24
I mean, I can't.
00:38:25
I can totally do.
00:38:28
I'm sure you could.
00:38:29
Thank you.
00:38:32
You know, I thought that was interesting that they.
00:38:35
It's interesting that they had two different composers and only one was
00:38:39
credited.
00:38:39
Yeah, that is.
00:38:40
Mm -hmm.
00:38:41
I'm petty.
00:38:41
I want to be credited.
00:38:43
I wouldn't do it without being credited.
00:38:45
You want me to rewrite it?
00:38:46
Take the other guy out.
00:38:47
get that guy out of here.
00:38:50
Or keep him in, but credit me too.
00:38:52
Well, yeah, at the very least.
00:38:55
Yeah.
00:38:56
They also rewrote the ending.
00:38:57
You want to talk about that?
00:38:58
Did you not know that they rewrote the ending?
00:38:59
No, I did.
00:39:02
Yeah, because they weren't going to have Val and Rhonda kiss.
00:39:08
But then they showed it to a test audience and they were all like, kiss, kiss!
00:39:13
Screaming for them too.
00:39:15
So they, I think they went back and reshot that to include the kiss.
00:39:19
Because it was going to be that they were on their way out and then realized that
00:39:22
she still had the lighter, so they had to go back.
00:39:25
Which is kind of cute, like, like just like a, like almost cherry on top of the
00:39:31
comedy of errors.
00:39:32
Like, I guess we're going back.
00:39:33
I guess we're not leaving after all.
00:39:36
Yeah, I almost think that I would have preferred that ending, but...
00:39:40
You gotta give the people what they want.
00:39:42
I guess so.
00:39:43
Just not me.
00:39:43
Yeah, the other people.
00:39:45
The people who aren't me.
00:39:47
I think my one of my favorite fun facts too is that there's really only two
00:39:53
interior sets, which is the store and then the basement.
00:39:56
And everything else is shot in the exterior and almost everything shot during
00:40:01
the daytime too.
00:40:03
And the cinematographer Alexander, we're on a first name basis because I can't
00:40:07
pronounce his last name.
00:40:11
But he was like really great at capturing outdoor landscapes, but he was really
00:40:15
concerned about doing a horror film in daylight because that's just like not what
00:40:20
you do, right?
00:40:21
And everything's visible.
00:40:22
So it's like the monsters kind of have to look really good otherwise people can
00:40:28
tell.
00:40:29
But I think that's interesting because there's not a lot of horror movies that
00:40:32
take place mainly during the day.
00:40:34
Yeah.
00:40:34
I don't think the monsters looked that good, but...
00:40:37
I think they looked perfect.
00:40:40
They were kind of squid -like.
00:40:41
Did you get that vibe?
00:40:42
They're like squid beak.
00:40:43
Yeah, I guess like the mouth.
00:40:45
Yeah, like an upside down squid beak.
00:40:47
That's exactly what it looked like to me.
00:40:49
I got more worm overall, but I can I'm picking up what you're putting down.
00:40:55
I said I was going to go as a graboid for Halloween and then just like throw pumpkin
00:41:01
innards at people because that's kind of what their guts look like.
00:41:06
Yeah.
00:41:08
Yeah, that'd be cute.
00:41:11
Every.
00:41:12
arrested for chucking pumpkins at people.
00:41:15
god.
00:41:17
Yeah, you might go viral for it.
00:41:18
People think you're dressed in like the Shai-Hulud.
00:41:22
Dune.
00:41:23
I do not believe in any press is good press.
00:41:28
I don't want to go viral for chucking pumpkins at people.
00:41:33
Well then what's the point?
00:41:34
Of doing it?
00:41:37
Well, there isn't a point.
00:41:38
That's why it was a joke and I'm not actually going to do it.
00:41:41
So, yeah.
00:41:43
Well, any other fun facts or should we rate it?
00:41:45
Let's rate it.
00:41:46
Okay, how scary did you think it was?
00:41:50
I gave it a four.
00:41:52
I'm kidding, can you imagine?
00:41:53
I gave it a one.
00:41:56
It's not scary.
00:41:58
It's fun.
00:42:00
Yeah.
00:42:01
Yeah, no, it's not scary.
00:42:05
It's barely even a horror movie.
00:42:07
It is in my heart.
00:42:12
Is this our first PG -13?
00:42:14
No, right?
00:42:15
No.
00:42:15
No, we've had others.
00:42:16
M3gan, I think that might have been our first one.
00:42:20
No, I feel like Blair Witch.
00:42:21
I think Blair Witch might be PG -13.
00:42:24
Really?
00:42:24
It's kinda spooky.
00:42:25
Yeah, but they don't, there's not like, it is R, shit.
00:42:29
Probably because of the swearing.
00:42:31
yes, wearing and there is some like gore, a little bit.
00:42:34
Yeah.
00:42:35
But yeah, we've definitely done it before, because I feel like we've talked about it.
00:42:40
Where I've said like, man, I wish it was an R.
00:42:46
No.
00:42:47
what would have made it R is more swear words and I love that they replace the
00:42:51
swear words.
00:42:51
I thought it was funny.
00:42:52
It was like the good place.
00:42:54
I almost think the like mother humper and stuff like added to it so yeah, I think
00:43:00
that this is fine as is.
00:43:04
How sexy did you think it was?
00:43:07
I gave it a 2 .5.
00:43:09
It wasn't sexy, but it wasn't that sexy.
00:43:13
You know what I mean?
00:43:16
What'd give it?
00:43:18
Yeah, exactly.
00:43:19
Yeah, it's like Val and Earl, you know, and their little jeans and Val's heart
00:43:25
-shaped belt buckle and then Rhonda's in her underwear.
00:43:30
Mm -hmm.
00:43:31
Yeah, it's cute.
00:43:33
It's got some good vibes.
00:43:34
Yeah.
00:43:36
Yeah.
00:43:36
How fucked up did you think it was?
00:43:39
one.
00:43:40
Yeah.
00:43:41
It really wasn't.
00:43:42
Yeah not at all.
00:43:43
Yeah, you gave it a one too.
00:43:45
Yeah, I was gonna give it a 1 .5 if they abused the horse, but they didn't even do
00:43:48
that.
00:43:49
They didn't even abuse the horse.
00:43:56
Thanks, Kevin!
00:44:00
Yeah.
00:44:01
All right, overall, what did you give 1990s Tremors?
00:44:06
I gave it at a 4 .5?
00:44:07
Yeah, this movie fucking slaps.
00:44:10
Did you give it a 4.5?
00:44:12
hell yeah, we finally agree on something.
00:44:17
yeah.
00:44:18
Now, this movie fucking rips.
00:44:20
It's so good.
00:44:22
It's so funny.
00:44:23
It's adorable.
00:44:25
Kevin Bacon's perfect.
00:44:26
Reba's perfect.
00:44:28
I mean, it's just so it's just such a good time.
00:44:30
I think the only like complaint I have is, well, I forgot what it was.
00:44:36
I forgot what the complaint is.
00:44:37
So but there was one.
00:44:39
Okay.
00:44:40
Yeah.
00:44:40
I'll think of it eventually.
00:44:42
You also gave it a 4 .5 why?
00:44:44
Cuz!
00:44:46
Everything you said, it's so good.
00:44:47
It's such a good fucking time.
00:44:49
And it's funny.
00:44:51
And this was a movie I watched when I was a kid.
00:44:55
And I used to hate horror movies.
00:44:58
Anything even remotely scary or sad, I did not like.
00:45:03
I remember my parents were watching Mars Attacks and they were like, watch this
00:45:07
movie.
00:45:07
Well, actually, no, my mom knew she was like, do not, you're not
00:45:11
coming in here and my dad was like, she's fine.
00:45:13
I was not fine.
00:45:15
I couldn't sleep for days.
00:45:17
Yeah, that's how big of a wimp I used to be.
00:45:20
This movie?
00:45:21
No, I watched this movie with my dad.
00:45:23
We fucking had a blast.
00:45:24
We would rewatch it.
00:45:26
So yeah, it definitely has that like nostalgic like reminiscence of my
00:45:29
childhood.
00:45:30
And I just, I think it's held up.
00:45:32
It's so much fun.
00:45:34
Yeah, I agree.
00:45:36
Couldn't agree more.
00:45:39
It was a blasty blast.
00:45:41
Yeah, I can't wait to watch all the other ones and the show.
00:45:44
I won't be watching the show, but I will watch the other ones.
00:45:46
I heard too that there was another television series that they had...
00:45:52
basically like done work on and it was set to air in 2018, but then no one picked it
00:45:59
up.
00:46:00
And so it never got made.
00:46:01
Yeah, and Kevin Bacon was gonna come back to it for the first time.
00:46:04
Because spoiler, he's not in any of the sequels.
00:46:06
He never came back to it.
00:46:09
And so was like gonna be his first time, but then it never got picked up.
00:46:12
So it never made it anywhere.
00:46:15
I know.
00:46:17
they had a 30th anniversary and only one actor showed up to it.
00:46:21
How sad.
00:46:24
Kevin Bacon really does hate it.
00:46:26
Not anymore!
00:46:27
He's come to his senses!
00:46:30
thank God.
00:46:31
Well, you should.
00:46:32
It's a masterpiece.
00:46:33
It really is!
00:46:35
I always say this is Kevin Bacon's best film and people laugh like it's a joke and
00:46:41
I'm not joking!
00:46:43
Yeah, like he, the acting, his acting was actually very good.
00:46:49
Like it's not a joke.
00:46:51
I don't have to see the rest of his movies to know that this is the best one.
00:46:55
Sorry, it is just funny like he has like
00:46:58
What else is he in?
00:47:00
been like a few good men and Apollo 13 like Frost Nixon like Incredible and this
00:47:10
one's included in that so
00:47:15
yeah, he is really good in Apollo 13.
00:47:16
I watched the shit out of that movie.
00:47:18
I forgot he was in it.
00:47:20
he is.
00:47:23
But I'll still, I'll die on the hill that this is his best movie, so whatever.
00:47:26
Crazy.
00:47:27
Alright, do you think that you would survive the Graboids?
00:47:30
Yeah.
00:47:32
Yeah, I mean, once they figured out what was happening.
00:47:36
No, I mean, they did a really good job at staying alive.
00:47:40
Yeah, I don't I mean, I'm not I'm not like a sheep herder.
00:47:44
I'm listening when I'm told to be still.
00:47:50
You know, yeah, I'm living.
00:47:52
I live.
00:47:52
Yeah, I think so.
00:47:55
First and foremost, I would never live in a town with a population of 14 people.
00:47:59
That's crazy.
00:48:03
So I probably would have already left.
00:48:05
But anyways, even if I was there.
00:48:08
Yeah, I feel like I'd probably just be chilling in my house until Kevin Bacon was
00:48:11
like, hey, don't move.
00:48:14
And then I'd be like, okay, we're good.
00:48:16
I can not move for days.
00:48:19
Yeah, easy, easy.
00:48:22
I'd just be sitting here playing video games until they were all dead.
00:48:26
easy.
00:48:27
And they didn't even try the Dune walk to see if that worked.
00:48:30
They didn't even try the Dune walk.
00:48:32
So you might have been able to get around if you just did the Dune walk.
00:48:35
What's the Dune walk?
00:48:36
It's like, it's, it's.
00:48:39
You just walk so that it's not a regular cadence.
00:48:45
So you shuffle a little bit and you drag your feet in a circle and then you take a
00:48:49
little tiny steps and then- Zendaya can teach you.
00:48:53
I wish.
00:48:54
She can, she learned - watch the movie, she teaches you how.
00:48:56
But like in the movie she teaches.
00:48:58
I thought you meant like she personally could come to my apartment and teach me
00:49:01
how to do a walk.
00:49:02
Great.
00:49:05
But in the movie, she does, I mean, she does already do it.
00:49:08
It would be kind of a waste of her time to come to your house.
00:49:12
I do think they didn't really try.
00:49:14
I mean, it would take too long because they were kind of in the middle of
00:49:16
nowhere.
00:49:16
But I feel, yeah, like a step and then just wait a bit.
00:49:21
A step, wait a bit.
00:49:23
You could do it.
00:49:24
You make your way around town.
00:49:27
Yeah.
00:49:27
but they killed em all, so.
00:49:28
They don't have to.
00:49:29
Well...
00:49:29
There's five sequels though.
00:49:33
Aren't there?
00:49:33
Something like that.
00:49:34
thought there was only three.
00:49:36
Including the show.
00:49:37
one, two, three, four, five, six sequels.
00:49:46
Shit.
00:49:47
Including the show.
00:49:50
Seven.
00:49:51
And a rumored eight that never got picked up.
00:49:53
And a rumored eight.
00:49:55
I mean honestly, no wonder I didn't get picked out.
00:49:58
They beat that horse.
00:50:00
That's how they beat the horse.
00:50:01
They beat that horse.
00:50:03
You know?
00:50:05
Boo!
00:50:06
Hahaha!
00:50:07
They didn't even beat the horse.
00:50:13
All right.
00:50:14
Do you want to predict next week's movie?
00:50:16
Do you know what it is?
00:50:18
I changed it.
00:50:20
So you wouldn't know.
00:50:22
Yeah, I realized there were some things that were too close together.
00:50:25
So we're doing something else.
00:50:27
You didn't.
00:50:29
You watched Tremors today.
00:50:32
I knew you weren't a movie ahead.
00:50:35
Fair.
00:50:36
And also I think I changed it a couple days ago.
00:50:38
So next week we're going to be talking about As Above, So Below.
00:50:43
Cave movie an actual cave movie this was actually caves
00:50:48
Tell me about it.
00:50:50
Okay.
00:50:51
I don't know.
00:50:52
I mean, it's just like every other cave movie.
00:50:55
There's no monsters though.
00:50:56
I think it's crime.
00:50:59
It's crime underground.
00:51:02
God, and what happens?
00:51:05
Who commits the crimes?
00:51:07
That was a given.
00:51:13
Which maybe that's the thing the social commentary of like men are like these
00:51:16
terrible They're terrible as above So when you get into a cave with them below so
00:51:26
below Yeah, no, it's about- it's about a woman and her fiance who go into a cave
00:51:32
no, they're above they're- as above they're above first
00:51:38
And he's abusive.
00:51:41
It's really sad.
00:51:42
Yeah, it's not ideal.
00:51:44
And they go on a trip together as like a last hurrah to try to like reconcile their
00:51:49
relationship.
00:51:50
And the trip involves caving.
00:51:53
And they go into a cave.
00:51:54
And as above, so below.
00:51:57
The abusers are under the ground also.
00:52:00
And...
00:52:01
She breaks.
00:52:03
She breaks.
00:52:04
I mean, when you're in a cave, you break sometimes.
00:52:06
Sometimes you break.
00:52:07
So she chases him around the cave and kills him.
00:52:13
great, I love that for her.
00:52:14
which she can't do as above.
00:52:16
It's only so below.
00:52:18
Yeah.
00:52:19
So then she goes, then she...
00:52:22
and then nobody's the wiser.
00:52:25
Because it was so below.
00:52:27
was so, it was so below.
00:52:34
Yeah.
00:52:37
She gets away with it and that's the end of the movie.
00:52:38
It's her walking off in the sunshine after having killed her abusive boyfriend so
00:52:43
below.
00:52:44
Yeah, yeah, so below.
00:52:48
Mm -hmm.
00:52:49
Very.
00:52:49
Think of how below you could get.
00:52:51
So much more.
00:52:58
No.
00:52:59
Not technically.
00:53:04
It's a catacombs movie.
00:53:09
that's the same.
00:53:11
Is there killing in the catacombs?
00:53:13
cave -like.
00:53:15
I'm not gonna tell you, it's a found footage, so you'll love that.
00:53:18
And yeah, it's about.
00:53:20
of found footage this week.
00:53:21
Did you?
00:53:22
Cloverfield.
00:53:22
The one?
00:53:24
Well, I mean...
00:53:24
I could have watched more than that.
00:53:27
Yeah, I guess in hindsight I only watched one.
00:53:39
I watched one of them and then and multiple of them played.
00:53:54
The sequels to Cloverfield aren't found footage.
00:53:57
What?
00:53:58
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
00:54:00
Yeah, well, they're not like direct sequels.
00:54:06
I think they're actually working on a direct sequel, but they're not.
00:54:09
Yeah.
00:54:10
No, I don't think so.
00:54:12
Yeah.
00:54:12
Well, a lot of people left to like fainted in the...
00:54:17
Well they didn't faint, they got dizzy, they puked.
00:54:19
No, they had actual recorded faintings.
00:54:22
They say that for every movie.
00:54:25
People got dizzy!
00:54:29
No, no, but yeah, no, they're not found footage, so.
00:54:34
they fainting about?
00:54:35
Motion sickness?
00:54:36
I guess?
00:54:37
I don't know.
00:54:38
make you faint, that makes you puke.
00:54:40
I don't know, I don't get motion sickness, kd, so.
00:54:43
I get motion sickness so bad.
00:54:45
I could never have seen that in theaters.
00:54:47
Fucking Arcadian made me sick.
00:54:48
That one did bother me and usually it doesn't so that I don't know.
00:54:53
I think because I wasn't prepared for it.
00:54:54
I don't have motion sickness.
00:54:57
Calls back immediately to a time where you have motion sickness.
00:55:01
I didn't get sick.
00:55:03
I just didn't like it.
00:55:05
Okay.
00:55:06
Okay.
00:55:07
Anyways, can't wait to watch As Above So Below.
00:55:14
I'm glad that it'll be part of the dozens of found footage you've seen this week.
00:55:24
really disappointing that none of the rest of them are found footage.
00:55:27
I'm glad I didn't watch them.
00:55:30
I would have been pissed.
00:55:32
all right, well...
00:55:34
Are they good?
00:55:35
No, they can't be.
00:55:37
not.
00:55:38
Do you want to know a secret?
00:55:40
I think the sequel is better than the original.
00:55:43
What?
00:55:44
The sequel kind of takes you or the original kind of takes you out of it
00:55:46
because there's so many people that you know.
00:55:48
Yeah.
00:55:51
Janice Ian.
00:55:54
No, yeah, I like the- I like Cloverfield, but I think 10 Cloverfield Lane is the
00:55:58
best of the series.
00:56:00
It's really good.
00:56:02
You should watch it.
00:56:05
You did.
00:56:08
You watched so much.
00:56:11
So many minutes.
00:56:13

00:56:23
Perfect.
00:56:25

00:56:29
One more episode after.
00:56:31
Yeah, this is our 73rd episode.
00:56:33
Yeah, we have something really fun and special planned for the 75th episode.
00:56:39

00:56:56

00:56:58

00:57:39

00:57:44
