Let's have it. 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeartRadio. 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: Hey you welcome to Weird House Cinema. This is Rob Lamb. 14 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: And this is Joe McCormick. 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: And in this episode our cat. We festivities conclude. We're 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: following up core episodes of Stuff to Blow Your Mind 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: as well as a midweek Monster Fact that all revolved 18 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: around cats, and so we of course had to choose 19 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: a cat film for Weird House Cinema this week. We 20 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: ultimately had had quite a few to consider, like are 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: we going to go with cat as ally, cat as enemy? 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: But we ultimately went with a B cinema favorite and 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: one that multiple listeners have recommended to us over the years, 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: the direct to video nineteen eighty eight or eighty seven 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: mutant cat sci fi thriller Uninvited. Not to be confused 26 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: with the many other films that are titled the Uninvited. 27 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: This is just uninvited. 28 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: What is it that's uninvited? There are many things uninvited 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: in this film. I guess there's a cat that was 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: not invited. There are also lots of people who were 31 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: not invited. 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of the boyfriends were invited. 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there is there's an extra thing inside the 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: cat that maybe you could interpret us thing that's uninvited, 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: Like one of the people at least wanted to invite 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: the cat but didn't realize it had a mutant thing 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 3: inside of it. 38 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but then again, all cats are uninvited. They invite themselves. 39 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: They are calling the shots here. 40 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: Cats are not like vampires. They will not catch fire 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 3: coming into a house uninvited. 42 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: You may invite them, but they may not accept it. 43 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: It's all up to them. So we selected this film 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: before We recorded our core stuff to Blow your Mind 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: episodes this week on the folklore Cats of the British 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: Isles and the Cats of Cypress, and I have to 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: say that I'm pleasantly surprised that this film managed to 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: line up at all with anything we talked about in 49 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: our core episodes. But you know, we have the idea 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: here of a cat as a kind of vengeful demon, 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: and we have cats on a boat. We spent the 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: Cypress episode talking a good bit about cats on boats. 53 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: That's right, trying to imagine stone age farmers getting all 54 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: different kinds of animals on boats to take them across 55 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 3: the sea to Cypress, and one of those animals would 56 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: have been the cat. I guess maybe you know, despite 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: how difficult it is known to be to herd cats, 58 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: i'd imagine it's easier to herd cats than to herd foxes. 59 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: Now, now, don't be confused, though this is not a 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: movie you're going to learn a lot from. Uninvited is 61 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: not a movie with lofty, dramatic or thematic ambitions. It 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: is a creature feature, first and foremost, and one that 63 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: subjectively misses the mark in several ways while also succeeding 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: in being just an amazingly fun and weird ninety one 65 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: minutes of cinema. 66 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: I don't know who would say this thing misses the mark. 67 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: I think this is this is like what creature features 68 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 3: were invented for was to become this. 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: Well, when I say missed the mark, imagine that there's 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: there's like an archery target setup. Okay, the arrow is 71 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: is fired, and perhaps this arrow we can call this 72 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: arrow effective and horrifying creature design. Oh okay, it misses 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: the entire target, but then it's a bull on an 74 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: adjacent target. Okay, okay, and that's where we are, like, Yeah, 75 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: the creature in this film is not the xenomorph from 76 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: Ridley Scott's Alien, I understand, but it is amazing in 77 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: its own right. I wouldn't change a thing about it. 78 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: It's a total gromblin picture. Like, this creature is on 79 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: the same level as some of the creatures from I 80 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: don't know, Goolies and so forth. It has a triumph 81 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: the insult, comic dog energy to it. So every time 82 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: it's on screen, you're going to giggle, You're going to laugh. 83 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: And is that what the filmmakers intended? Maybe not, but 84 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 1: that is why people love One of the reasons people 85 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: love this film. 86 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 3: I think I am starting to get a feeling of 87 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: Graydon Clark's sensibilities, and I think this was maybe supposed 88 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: to be funny in the ways that it is. I 89 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: think the moist puppet that appears repeatedly is It just 90 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: seems impossible to me that Clark did not recognize that 91 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: he had struck gold here with the potential comedic value. 92 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: But that does bring up something I wanted to get 93 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: into at the beginning. Uninvited is often described as a 94 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 3: killer cat movie, but I have to flag that the 95 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: actual creature that kills people is not the fluffy, cute 96 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: kitty cat that we see in most shots. You know, 97 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: so there is a cute kitty cat in the movie, 98 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: you know that people pet and hold and it runs 99 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: around and stuff. 100 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Beautiful tabby cat. 101 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: Yes, whenever it is time for the beast to vomit 102 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: death upon humankind, what happens is that this cute kitty cat, 103 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: the external cat, opens its mouth and then we cut 104 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: to an effect shot where a wet, screaming secondary animal 105 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: emerges from inside the cat mouth, and this interior beast 106 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: is represented by a puppet that looks like a cross 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: between the damp weasel and pumpkinhead. And it is this 108 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: creature that leaps out and bites and scratches and kills 109 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: and deposits poison on the humans. So what is this 110 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: beast inside the cute cat? Is it also a cat? 111 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: And I was also wondering how does it turn back 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 3: into the cute fluffy cat after each attack is finished? 113 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: Does it climb back into the mouth. 114 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: It does. You might have missed it, but there is 115 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: one scene where we see it beginning to crawl back in. 116 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: Oh, okay, I've just forgotten that. Yeah, So I was wondering, though, 117 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: are the interior beast and the exterior beast, like, are 118 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 3: they necessarily attached or can they fully separate? And if 119 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 3: they separate, can they both be independently alive or can 120 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: the exterior cat not live without the interior cat or 121 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: the interior whatever it is? 122 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: These are questions we cannot fully answer. Yeah, the outer 123 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: shell cat of cat thing seems to be dormant while 124 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: it is killing and rampaging, and then it crawled into 125 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: it like it's a cat suit bundy sock just sitting there. Yeah, 126 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, is that part of the cat. Is it 127 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: a host for this parasite? We don't know. I mean, 128 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: the only other major bit of evidence I might turn 129 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: to is the ending to the picture or the ending 130 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: to the main cut of the picture. But we'll have 131 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: to come back to that one. 132 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: So I want to mention I found online the Dutch 133 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: VHS cover which has a couple of good taglines, one 134 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: especially good one. I don't know if these would have 135 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: appeared on other national packaging as well, but at least 136 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: on this box. It has one tagline, which is cats 137 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: have nine lives, you only have one. Nice ends with 138 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: the ellipsis and then exclamation, one of the most cryptic 139 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: punctuation combinations. Then the other tagline, not quite as good, 140 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: is they paid for the holiday of a lifetime with 141 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: their live. 142 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Hmmm, that that's rather inaccurate. I don't think anybody's paying 143 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: for a holiday of a lifetime in this No. 144 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: No, uh, well, I mean I think that the Yeah, 145 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: the spring Breaker characters are initially looking for a good time, 146 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: but they it quickly goes off the rails, like It's 147 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: not like one of these movies where everybody's just they 148 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: still think they're partying until Jason the moment Jason shows 149 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: up and wax him with an axe. 150 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not the cat thing meets love boat, 151 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: as we'll get into when we discuss the plot. 152 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: Though there is some Jason similarity. Like I was thinking 153 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: about how the cat often attacks and punishes people right 154 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 3: after they have sinned or done wrong. It does sort 155 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: of follow some slasher movie logic there where with the 156 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 3: cat as moral executioner. Not in every single case. Sometimes 157 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: some rather innocent people catch it, but it's mostly you 158 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 3: do evil and then the cat. 159 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: Kills you, right, and the cat is the judge. 160 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: Okay, So my elevator, which for uninvited is Garfield meets 161 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: basket Case versus Gordon Gecko all wrapped up in some 162 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: Jason takes Manhattan. 163 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: Yep, that sounds accurate. Yeah, all right, well, let's listen 164 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: to just a little bit of one of the trailers 165 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: for this picture, because there's, as you might expect, there's 166 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of screaming and cat gowling, and 167 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: we can only take so much of that. But just 168 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: a little taste here. 169 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: They say cats have nine lives, You have only one 170 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 3: a poisonous can. Now, how is that possible? Things gonna 171 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 3: mind us and We're Gonna Die on. 172 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: Uninvited, starring George Kennedy and Alex Cord. 173 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: You'll never look at a count. 174 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: In the same way again, all right. So if you 175 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: want to watch Uninvited for yourself again, that's Uninvited from 176 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven or nineteen eighty eight, depending on who's 177 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: classifying it. Well, you can stream this one in a 178 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: number of places, but the vinegar syndrome blu ray that 179 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: we mentioned already is the ideal physical media choice for 180 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: this picture. The footage is scanned and restored in four 181 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: K from its thirty five millimeters original camera negative, and 182 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: it features a nice smattering of extras, including the ninety 183 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: three minute alternate international edit, which is quite hard to 184 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: find elsewhere. I wasn't able to find it streaming anywhere 185 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: and so forth. It features an alternate intro and outro, 186 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: as well as the horrendous Uninvited theme song by Chili 187 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: Charles and. 188 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 3: Tom gunn oh Man. 189 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: That's so funny, absolutely terrible. This is one of those 190 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: cases where it's like, yes, you were right to cut 191 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: this theme song for the American audience. 192 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 3: It sounds like the theme music to a one season 193 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: running sitcom from the eighties. 194 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: Yes, it's terrible like kat Thing was going to have 195 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: his own his or her own TV show. 196 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 3: Yeah boo, but doo do do so? 197 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a great disc. I like yourself many 198 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: years ago, rented this from Video Drome, the video rental 199 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: store here in Atlanta, and you know, as I was 200 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: returning it just yesterday, I ran into a couple of 201 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: listeners and had a delightful little conversation. They were from 202 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: out of town. I'm not going to name them here 203 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: because I didn't clear that with them when I was 204 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: chatting with them, but it was nice to run into 205 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: a couple of listeners at Video Drome. We've heard from 206 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: a few different listeners from out of town who, while 207 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: visiting Atlanta have made the journey, the pilgrimage to the Drum. 208 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 3: That's a beautiful thing. 209 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so's There's a non zero chance you'll run into 210 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: me there, but you don't count on it. You might 211 00:11:53,280 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: catch me. All right. Let's talk about the people behind 212 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: this film, starting with the director, of the writer and 213 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: one of the producers. It's great and Clark. Sometimes I 214 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: have pronounced his name Grayton Clark, and I think that's 215 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: because he frequently casts Jodn Baker, and so I kind 216 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: of take the Jodon energy and create the Great On. 217 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: So I may refer to him as Great On Clark 218 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: at some point here as well. 219 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: I think I hear it with the cadence of Raydon Chong. 220 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that too is probably influencing it. 221 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: So. 222 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: Grayton Clark was born in nineteen forty three, American director 223 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: and writer that you might remember from past Weird House 224 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: Cinema episodes because we've covered two of his pictures before, 225 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: both from nineteen eighty Without Warning, which was our first 226 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: episode of Weird House Cinema, and then we subsequently subsequently 227 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: talked about the Return. So we talked about a Graydon 228 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Clark proto Predator film as well as a cattle mutilation thriller. 229 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 3: I think both of those movies have some ironic sensibility, 230 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: but they were both more straight forward attempts at horror 231 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: than Uninvited. I think Uninvited is he's cutting loose a 232 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 3: little bit more than in the other two. 233 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it may be attempting to check 234 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: off some extra boxes, especially for international distribution like this 235 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: one has a certain certain amount of I would say, 236 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: especially in the US, cut kind of a PG sexploitation 237 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: quality to it, but in a weird way, like it 238 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: was like it was written and conceived for the most 239 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: part by like a twelve year old, a. 240 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: Lot of bathing suit antics. 241 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, bathing suit antics, and like, yeah, well, we'll get 242 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: into it. But it has this kind of weird PG 243 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: quality that I really like. I mean, yeah, it's seen 244 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: plenty of exploitation films that are a whole lot sleazier, 245 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: and it's nice to encounter one that has pulled back somewhat, 246 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: so Graydon's Clark. Other film credits included Let's se a 247 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: pair of black exploitation films, seventy three's Tom and seventy 248 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: six is Black Shampoo, some horror comedy, There's seventy seven 249 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: Satan's Cheerleaders, and not one, but two films featured on 250 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: Mystery Science Theater three thousand, seventy Nine's Angels Brigade and 251 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty four Jodn Baker International cop film Final Justice. 252 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: I had forgotten that Graydon Clark did Final Justice, especially 253 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: since we just recently rewatched the Mystery Science Theater of 254 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: this one man. Final Justice is so much It is 255 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: not anywhere near as fun of a movie as the 256 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: three Graydon Clark movies we've done on Weird House. It 257 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: is a step or two below. 258 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: There's no specio development to that one. As I recall, 259 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: it's just an international cop film starring Jodan. 260 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 3: It's just Jodn Baker running around Malta in a sheriff 261 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 3: suit that almost looks like one of those old Nashville 262 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 3: country music kind of outfits and just shooting bad guys. 263 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: And he gets into prison like twelve times in the movie. 264 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that one, and there's as the main thing I 265 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: remember from Final Justice, of course, is there's this great 266 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: shot like through Jodon's arm, like you're behind him and 267 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: he has his hands on his hips and we're shooting 268 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: through the gap between his arm and his side. It's ridiculous. 269 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: It's a little thing. Sometimes. 270 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 3: Unfortunately I had to remember it's not from Final Justice. 271 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: It's from Mitchell that has that great riff in the 272 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: mst where he's like digging around in the shower in 273 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: his apartment and they go, what does this thing do? 274 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: Ah? Joe Don rest in peace. Yeah, recently passed, but yeah, 275 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: he was always a fun screen presence. All right, Let's 276 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: see other films worth noting from Graydon Clark. He did 277 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: a couple of films that were made in post Soviet 278 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Russia ninety twos Dance Macabre and ninety three's Russian Holiday, 279 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three video game sex comedy named title Joysticks, 280 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: a nineteen eighty nine skinhead movie, ninety four is Dark Future, 281 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: and his last film, Star Games. In nineteen eighty eight. 282 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: He worked with Jodan bay Are on three pictures, and 283 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: he did tend to gravitate toward using a fair number 284 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: of older, established actors who were working in B cinema 285 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: at the time, something we definitely see in today's film 286 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: and in general worked with a lot of notable B 287 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: movie actors of the seventies and eighties, including Wingshauser, Jack Palance, 288 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: Robert England, and John Kerodyine. Not everybody gets to work 289 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: with John Garretty, so most. 290 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 3: Oh weird that John Keridyine wasn't in the movie we 291 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: watched today, since he is in most films. 292 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: He was shooting three other films at the same time simultaneously, 293 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: I see so great and clark films are generally not 294 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: considered good movies by most people. Virtually none of his 295 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: films cracked five stars were above out of ten on 296 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: Internet Movie Database. Not that that means anything really, but 297 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: these are b movies, often with a certain and exploitive 298 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: air to them in one way or another, but they 299 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: often strike that perfect cheesy movie balance. You know, it's 300 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: a film that's for the most part competently made in 301 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: involving talented professionals, but a film that also makes wild 302 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: swings and doesn't land every punch, or at least not 303 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: in the way they were intended, but still results in 304 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: a very watchable and entertaining ride. 305 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: If I have a technical critique of Uninvited, the biggest 306 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: one is that too many shots are taking place outside 307 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 3: on a boat, and it is so windy it is 308 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 3: hard to hear the dialogue. 309 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently this was a tough shoot because on one hand, 310 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: there it's like NonStop cats. So they had a number 311 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: of cats playing the one cat in the picture and cats. 312 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: If you've ever if you know anything about animals and film, 313 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: you know that cats are notoriously difficult to shoot. Everyone 314 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: generally is like, yes, bring me a dog. 315 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 3: Any day. 316 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: A dog will hit its mark and do what you 317 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: want it to do. 318 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 3: You know. 319 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: Horses are also a known commodity. Cats you can try, 320 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: you can see what you can get out of them, 321 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: but a wilder element, you know, like cats with cats, 322 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: it's like working with the you know, I don't know, 323 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: one of the more difficult actors and out there. I 324 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: don't even know if there's a proper analogy, like it's cats. 325 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: Not only are cat's going to do their own thing, 326 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: but cats often look like they are doing their own 327 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: thing in movies, even like a really you can think 328 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: of like really good movies that have cats in them, 329 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: and the scenes in which you see the cats or 330 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: that lean to heavily on cats doing stuff. It almost 331 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: kind of throws you out of the picture a little 332 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: bit sometimes because like you can just look at that 333 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: cat and you're like, yeah, that cat is just checked out. 334 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: That cat's doing its own thing. It is not in 335 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: the moment, it's not in the scene. It didn't even 336 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: read the script. 337 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: I wonder if longtime directors could do a comparison, like 338 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: what is more difficult cat versus the most notoriously difficult 339 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: actors like Lawrence Tierney or something like that, You know, 340 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: which one is more stressful on set? 341 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's probably some crossover there in the 342 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: experiences are the other difficult things about the film those courses. 343 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: Most of it is shot on a boat, and I 344 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: didn't even think about this, but this is something the 345 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: cinematographer pointed out in one of the Vinegar Syndrome extras, 346 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: Like that meant that when they're out on the boat, 347 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: they only have so much power, and that limits how 348 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: much lighting they can use. Yeah, and cats don't necessarily 349 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: like being on a boat either, so that also constrains 350 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: their performance. But cats, they this was a decision by 351 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: grad And to have cats in this picture. Apparently he 352 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: was thinking about it being rats, which that would have 353 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: been scary, That would have made for a ridiculous puppet 354 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: and rats on a boat, you know. That's that also 355 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: has a lot of a lot to back it up. 356 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: But they said, no, it's going to be cats. It's 357 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: going to be a killer mutant cat. Obvious John Carpenter's 358 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: the thing vibes to a certain extent here. Oh yeah, 359 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, they went with the cat. 360 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 3: Now this makes me wonder what was the thematic seed 361 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: of the film, Like, what is the core element that 362 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 3: they were trying to get down to? Is it boat? 363 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: Is it? Like this has to be a boat movie 364 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: and everything else was around that or was it. Obviously 365 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 3: you're saying it's not cat, but I guess it would 366 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: have been maybe a mutant creature from a lab. Is 367 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 3: that the core? 368 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think the core was we're going to shoot 369 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: it on a boat, and we need a mutant creature. 370 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: We want to hit that sci fi horror zone. Okay, 371 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, everything else they just kind of figured out 372 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: from there, including you know, first finding the boat, then 373 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: finding people to wrangle the cats, and they did use 374 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: them to understand, like a proficient professional cat wranglers here, 375 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: this is not just getting me a boat, give me 376 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: some cats. So you know, supposedly everything here is above board, 377 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: but again, even cat pros are going to only get 378 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: you so far. 379 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 3: The exterior killer cat is very cute, and if they 380 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: were switching them out with with lookalikes, I couldn't tell. 381 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: It always looked like the same cat to me. 382 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: I want to mention really quickly that the individuals involved 383 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: with the puppet cats that we see, oh it's the 384 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: it's Jim Bolden born fifty six and Debbie Bolden, and 385 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: these two did like animal artificial animal effects on a 386 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: number of other films, including Loaded Weapon one from ninety three, 387 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: Ace Venturro When Nature Calls from ninety five, and a 388 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: ninety one White Fang film. 389 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 3: So did they do the rhinoceros that gives birth to 390 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 3: Jim Carrey one hopes? 391 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they were animal makers inc. I don't know 392 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: if they're still around, but they were active for a 393 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: little bit there in the late eighties and into the 394 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: mid nineties. All right, let's get into the human actors 395 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: a bit here. So I want to divide things up 396 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: into factions here, okay, because essentially we have two main 397 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: factions and then an individual suspended between the two. We 398 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: have our corporate creepers, and then we also have our 399 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: spring breakers. 400 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 3: That is pretty much it. You've got your I guess 401 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: the spring Burger is supposed to be like early twenties. 402 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 3: I think a couple of them mentioned being in graduate school, 403 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 3: so like grad students and adjacent frame who are just 404 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: looking to party, looking to go to the beach and 405 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 3: have a good time. And then yeah, you've got these 406 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 3: Gordon Gecko types who are out there just trying to 407 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 3: run some greasy deals and get away to the Cayman 408 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 3: Islands with the suitcases full of cash. 409 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the leader of this faction is Wall Street 410 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: Walter Graham. This is our sleazy, yacht owning, womanizing, money 411 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: laundering employee, abusing, charismatic millionaire dirt bag. Compare him to 412 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: any contemporary figures you like. And he is played here 413 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: by Alex Cord, who lived nineteen thirty three through twenty 414 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: twenty one. Probably best remembered by many for his main 415 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: cast role on TV's Airwolf from eighty four through eighty six, 416 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: but it's credits go back to nineteen sixty one. Did 417 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: a lot of TV, including episodes of Night Gallery, Mission Impossible, 418 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: and Murder. She wrote. His film credits include sixty nine Stiletto, 419 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: seventy twos of the Dead or Alive, eighty one's Goliatha Waits, 420 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: eighty four's Jungle Warriors with John Vernon and Sybil Danning, 421 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: and ninety five Hologram Man. 422 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 3: I have several thoughts about well, all of the corporate characters, 423 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: but especially at Wall Street. Walter Graham here is the 424 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 3: big boss of the corporate schemers, and he he has 425 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 3: a great look. For one thing, he has this just 426 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: really iconic mustache. Yes, But another thing I was thinking 427 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: about Robert I pulled up a picture for you to 428 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: look at here. So this is supposed to be set 429 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: on a yacht in the Caribbean. Yeah right, it's in 430 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: the you know, it's in the Gulf of Mexico and 431 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 3: the Caribbean, and so you and it's supposed to be 432 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 3: warm outside. But our corporate characters, this guy dresses in 433 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 3: like a wool sweater on his yacht. Are you seeing this? 434 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep, he's wearing a sweater on. George gets 435 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: kind of windy at night, I. 436 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 3: Guess, so George Kennedy, who will get to in a minute. 437 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 3: He wears a suit jacket like the whole time. Everybody 438 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 3: else is just wearing bathing suits. 439 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's just it's what he it's what he's 440 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: comfortable in. I don't know, okay, yeah, maybe he's cold blooded. 441 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: You know, he's the hopefully play at Wall Street type. 442 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 3: Yes, he is Reptilian. 443 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: Well I think Cord Yeah, just completely nails it here. 444 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: He's believably charismatic and sleazy. It's a fun performance. And 445 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: you can't wait for this guy to get killed by 446 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: the cat thing. 447 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they save that for toward the end. Yeah, 448 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 3: it's good. 449 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: All right now. His right hand man and muscle is 450 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: Mike Harvey, and he is played by the legendary George Kennedy, 451 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: who lived nineteen twenty five through twenty sixteen. George Kennedy, 452 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: of course, won the nineteen sixty eight Best Supporting Actor 453 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: Oscar for his role in Cool Hand Luke memorable performance there. 454 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: His TV credits go back to fifty six and he 455 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: did a lot of it, including seventy five episodes of Dallas. 456 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Movie Wise, many of you might remember him from nineteen 457 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: eighty eight's The Naked Gun and its sequel, but he 458 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: appeared in all manner of projects big and small, prestige 459 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: and schlock. So, for instance, you'll find him in sixty 460 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: three Charade, sixty five's The Sons of Katie Elder, sixty 461 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: seven's The Dirty Doesen, seventy five is The Eiger Sanction, 462 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: and eighty one's Modern Romance. But he's also in the 463 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: likes of eighty one's Just Before Dawn, eighty seven's Creep Show, 464 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: two eighty eight's Demon Warp, and just in multiple disaster films. 465 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: You know, especially from like the seventies and maybe the 466 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: early eighties. Always a fun screen presence he tended to 467 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: play like blunt, straightforward characters, but could go like tough 468 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: guy with a heart of gold, like in Cool Hand Luke, 469 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,239 Speaker 1: or like a solid heavy villain role as in this 470 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: film this one. 471 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: I was a little confused about what his power level 472 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: relationship is to Wall Street Walter Graham. There's another guy 473 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 3: we'll get to in a second who's definitely a henchman 474 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 3: like Albert, who we're about to talk about, is definitely 475 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 3: Graham's henchman. Can't quite tell with the Mike character here. 476 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, because at times he's speaking to Wall Street Walter 477 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: Graham almost like they're equal, like their partners, you know, 478 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: bossing him a little bit and reminding him about what's important. Yeah, 479 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: so yeah, right hand man or part nor. I think 480 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: you could maybe push it in either direction. 481 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 3: There's a good scene where he it doesn't quite get 482 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: fully bitten off, but it looks like, for a second 483 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 3: his leg is getting bitten off by a cat. 484 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he gets, he gets, he's he gets a 485 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: pretty early attack, all right. And then yeah, Albert, this 486 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: other character, who, as you said, is definitely a hinchman 487 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: of some sort. I thought maybe he was like a 488 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: money man like he's something. Maybe it's the glasses through me. 489 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird, strange character. So this is Albert played 490 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: by klu Gooliger who lived nineteen twenty eight to twenty 491 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 3: twenty two. I love klue Gooliger and a lot of stuff. 492 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: He's the boss of the warehouse in Return of the 493 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: Living Dead. Yeah you remember that. He's got a funny 494 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 3: role where he gets called in by his employees because oops, 495 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 3: they accidentally got a zombie in the warehouse. And you know, 496 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: there's one scene where he's having him open the door. 497 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 3: He's like, you open the door, I'm gonna go stand 498 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: back over here. But in this movie, it's an unusual 499 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 3: kind of role because he is a hinchman. That is 500 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 3: his role in the plot. He's like the button man, 501 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 3: but he is Wall Street Walter's weird neurotic button man. 502 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 3: He's like a cross between Gary Busey and Lethal Weapon 503 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 3: and George Costanza. 504 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, there's some definite comic 505 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: wrinkles to this character. So Klute Gooliger lived nineteen twenty 506 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: eight through twenty twenty two, and his career can essentially 507 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: be divided into two distinct phases. So his initial TV 508 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: heavy career. This included a co starring role on as 509 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: Billy the Kid on The Tall Man from nineteen sixty 510 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: through sixty one opposite Barry Sullivan from Planet to the Vampires. 511 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 3: Oh okay, one of the Spacemen. 512 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he did one hundred and four episodes of The 513 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: Virginian plus he did all sorts of other TV shows 514 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: during this time period. But then later in life he 515 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: essentially became a horror movie staple in his own right, 516 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: actually beginning with seventy three's The Mystery in Dracula's Castle, 517 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: but really kicking into high gear in eighty five with 518 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: both a Nightmare on Elm Street Part two and as 519 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned, the Return of the Living Dead. 520 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 3: In Nightmare on Elm Street Part two, he is either 521 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 3: the main character or the main character's friend's dad. I 522 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 3: think he's the main character's dad. And there's a funny 523 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 3: scene if I'm remembering correctly, where he is attacked by 524 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 3: a possessed parakeet. 525 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: Oh wow, I don't often see that in these Nightmare 526 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: on Elm Street highlight videos that people put together online. 527 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 3: Not a lot of highlights come from part two. That's 528 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 3: not no, I don't know I think that one has 529 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: been maybe assessed a little bit more favorably in recent years. 530 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 3: It does have a cool scene where Freddy cuts open 531 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 3: his own scalp and peels it back to reveal his brain. 532 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, that's why I don't think I ever 533 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: saw that one. Yeah, I think I've mainly seen the 534 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: original from Wes Craven, parts of some of the Dream 535 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: Warrior era films and what New Okay, maybe I've seen 536 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: several I've seen New Nightmare, and then I've seen the 537 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: remake they did several years back. 538 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 3: Nightmare two is has been notable for a long time 539 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 3: for having pretty overwhelming homo erotic themes, which for a 540 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 3: long time I think was sort of treated in the 541 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 3: fan community as more a source of comedy because they 542 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 3: were seen as unintentional, kind of unintentional, almost taken as 543 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: like a kind of Freudian slip thing. But I think 544 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 3: more recently it's been read a different way that maybe like, oh, 545 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 3: this is just sort of like what the thematic content 546 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 3: of the movie is, and that's kind of. 547 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: Interesting, interesting, Maybe I should check it out. All right, 548 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: So after a Return of the Living Dead, Guliger appeared 549 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: and let's see eighty six is Hunter's Blood eighty sevens 550 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: From a Whisper to a Scream, as well as The 551 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: Hidden eighty nine's Teen Vamp nineteen nineties, the Willies ninety 552 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: four's puppet Master five. His son, actor and director John Guliger, 553 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: also cast him in his two thousand and five film Feast, 554 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: as well as its two sequels. He also pops up 555 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twelve's Piranha three Double D. I did not 556 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: see this one, and then a couple of his final credits. 557 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: We're kind of a return to non genre work. He's 558 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen's Blue Jay, written by and starring Marked Deplaw, 559 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: as well as a cameo in twenty nineteen's Once Upon 560 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: a Time in Hollywood. 561 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: Oh, didn't catch him in the Tarantino movie. I helped. 562 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I think it's just a very small role cameo. 563 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: It was like in a bookstore or something. I do 564 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: not remember spotting him, but he was in there. 565 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 3: Okay, So those are all the bad guys, all the 566 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 3: corporate creeps. But we also have a cast of more 567 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 3: likable characters, the characters of varying likability, the spring Breakers, 568 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 3: the twenty somethings that were just out looking to have 569 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 3: a good time. 570 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'd say out of the spring Breakers, we ultimately 571 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: only have like one really likable character. Yeah, and that 572 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: is going to be Martin. Martin is a biology major 573 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: or I forget where he is in his schooling, but 574 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: he is a future biologist. 575 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 3: They say he's a grad student. 576 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, he's a grad student.

I don't know whose 648 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: parents beat beat beat them out that year. I like 649 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: the idea of this award, though, best parents, like the 650 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: parents in movies, don't get enough love. This needs to 651 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: be an Oscar category as well. 652 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 3: I think they should have an actor categories for best jock, 653 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 3: best biology major, best best Preppy. 654 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, absolutely, this would be great. If slasher movies 655 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: were more in style, you could have the Slashies. Maybe 656 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: there is? Is there ben award called the Slashies? If not, 657 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: there should be. 658 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I see where you could have like best nerd, 659 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 3: best punk Rocker, best best jock. Yeah all that. 660 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right. So those are our two main factions. 661 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: And then we have a character that is kind of 662 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: suspended between the two because she's also young and so 663 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: she has a lot in common with the spring Breakers, 664 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: but she works for wall Street Walter Graham because she 665 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: is the captain of the boat. And this is Rachel 666 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: played by Tony Hudson born nineteen sixty. 667 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is the other main good character along 668 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 3: with Martin, the biology guy. She's I would say the 669 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 3: movie actually does a pretty good job at making her 670 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 3: a sympathetic protagonist, especially since we meet her so late. 671 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 3: As I was saying earlier, like the character that we 672 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 3: end up liking the most and are the survivors at 673 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 3: the end are the ones we meet last. 674 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the film is like we have one more blonde 675 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: lady to introduce you to, and she's gonna be the 676 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: main one. Yeah, so you can get a little confusing. 677 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: Tony Hudson's credits include supporting roles in nineteen eighty four's 678 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: Places in the Heart, as well as leather Face Texas 679 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: Chainsaw Massacre three. This is the one that featured Vigo 680 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: Mortensen as one of the Sawyer Klan. 681 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, you know, I think I've never seen 682 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: that one. 683 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: I have, but it has been it's been a long time. 684 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: It was. I think this one was, in many ways 685 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: kind of like a rehash of the first one, kind 686 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: of a sort of sort of a remake of the 687 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: original Texas Chainsaw Massacre with some you know, with some 688 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: updated vibes. And yeah, that about the only thing I 689 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: remember is Vigo popping up as a cannibal redneck. 690 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 3: This character is another reason Uninvited reminds me of Jason 691 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 3: Takes Manhattan, because you may recall in Jason Takes Manhattan, 692 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 3: of course, it's like it's a slasher movie on a boat, 693 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 3: but one of the main characters is the son of 694 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 3: a boat captain who is being like prepared to be 695 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 3: a boat captain. Himself. That's the same thing with Tony 696 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 3: Hudson's character here. She is the daughter of a boat 697 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 3: captain who has like inherited the family boat captain ship, 698 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 3: and she's you know, and like there's a lot of 699 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 3: drama about the fact that she's a boat captain and 700 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 3: wanting to be a boat captain on her own terms. 701 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, I would say this character is more 702 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: fleshed out than most of the others, and it's a 703 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: decent performance. I like Rachel in this picture. You're rooting 704 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: for her, Yeah, even though she is forced to make 705 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 1: some ethical compromises. 706 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Multiple times they're like, yes, somebody did fall overboard, 707 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 3: but we can't go back and look for them, and 708 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 3: here are the reasons. 709 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. Two more credits I want to mention. 710 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: These are behind the scenes Nicholas Joseph von Sternberg. It 711 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: was the cinematographer born nineteen fifty one, son of Silent 712 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: and Sound Era Academy Award nominated director Joseph von Sternberg. 713 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: He did thirty one's Morocco in nineteen thirty two Shanghai Express, 714 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: those were the nominated pictures. So the son here Nicholas 715 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: Joseph von Sternberg grew up in the filmmaking business, and 716 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: among his best mainstream films are probably Let's See Texasville 717 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and Crime and 718 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: Punishment from two thousand and two. This was one was 719 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: directed by Menahem Golan who directed The Apple, but it 720 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: had a great cast. They had like Vanessa Redgraves and 721 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: John Hurt and so forth. But Sternberg von Sternberg, the 722 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: younger here also worked on a load of B movies, 723 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: seventy five's Dolomite, seventy nine's Tourist Trap, Graydon Clark's Wacko 724 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: from eighty two Joysticks, eighty four's Jungle Warriors, Final Justice, 725 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: Dark Future, Star Games, and more. And then finally, the 726 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: score for this picture is by Dan Slider. Dates not 727 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: public record as far as I could tell. He also 728 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: scored eighty eighths Demonwarp, which also starred George Kennedy. This 729 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: was his first grade in Clark picture, but he'd work 730 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: with him several more times and even has a story 731 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: credit on ninety four's Dark Future. 732 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 3: I think I have not seen Demon Warp, but have 733 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 3: been been circling it for a while. One night, that'll happen. 734 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: So the score here, I thought it was fun and effective. 735 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: The main thing that really struck me is they keep 736 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: using that Labyrinth style synth cascade effect. We've talked about 737 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: this before, It's popped up in other pictures. Did we 738 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: ever determine what the name for this is? 739 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 3: Oh? Are you talking about the whole tone scale? Yeah? 740 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's it. 741 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 3: Okay, that did come up, and the listener contributed to 742 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 3: our trying to find the name for that. But yes, 743 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 3: where it's like, it's not really any actual key in music, 744 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 3: so it produces this kind of weird, ambiguous feeling. 745 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I generally associate with any time Jareth is doing 746 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: something in Labyrinth, we get that effect, and anytime the 747 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: cat is doing anything suspicious in this picture, we also 748 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: get that effect. 749 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 3: All right, you ready to look at the plot. 750 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: Let's do it. 751 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 3: Well. You always want to begin a movie with a 752 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 3: strong image at the top to establish themes, you know, 753 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 3: what should people be thinking about? And here they chose 754 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 3: an office building. You know, there you go, a cat 755 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 3: office building? 756 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean this is the last movie 757 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: we discussed in Weird House Cinema also had an evil, 758 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: ominous office building. So you know, it lets us know 759 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: that corporations are up to no good right off the bat. 760 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 3: Oh, well, I guess that's true. Yeah, we have a 761 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 3: theme of business malfeasance. Sure. But so after this, we 762 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 3: go inside and there are a couple of doctors examining 763 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 3: an X ray. The bones in the image do not 764 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 3: look human, so maybe this some kind of animal. What 765 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 3: animal could it be? And one of the doctors says 766 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 3: there is a mass growing inside the subject, maybe a tumor, 767 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 3: maybe a teratoma. The other doctor seems perplexed. He says 768 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 3: he's never seen anything like this, and he's like, well, 769 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 3: we got to just bring the subject in. We'll cut 770 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 3: it open and we'll see what's what's growing in there. 771 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 3: And I was looking at this doctor, I was like, 772 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 3: is this Gradon Clark. 773 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: It totally is Gradon Clark. Yeah, okay, yeah, he's now 774 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: he's only present in the intro for the US cut 775 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: of the film. The international cut has a shortened intro 776 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: where we don't get this particular scene, but in the 777 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: international version of the film, he does factor into the outro, 778 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: presumably playing a different character. 779 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 3: So we see a guy in a lab coat, go 780 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 3: into a room full of cages and retrieve a cat 781 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 3: from one of the cages and bring it into an 782 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 3: operating room. Do we need any description for our main 783 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 3: cat other than I think this is the variety we 784 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 3: call an orange tabby. 785 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, just an absolutely adorable orange tabby. I mean, I 786 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 1: believe multiple orange tabbies playing this one cat character, multiple 787 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: feline actors. Yeah, it is an orange tabby cat, likely male. 788 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: To understand, most tabbies are male, though we used to 789 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: have a female one. Memes would have us know that 790 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: all male orange tabbies share a single brain cell, and 791 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: when it's not their turn to have the brain cell, 792 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: they do dumb things. I see, But beautiful cat, to 793 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: be sure on the outside. On the inside, as we're 794 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,919 Speaker 1: going to see, there's something else going on. 795 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 3: Right, So the doctors get out the hypodermic needle. Seems 796 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 3: like they're about to sedate the cat for surgery to 797 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 3: figure out what is that growing inside it. But suddenly 798 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 3: it just scampers off the edge of the operating table 799 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 3: and down the hall. There really were no precautions here, 800 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 3: and now the guys holding it and then it just 801 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 3: runs away and they're like, oops. 802 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,919 Speaker 1: They've never done Like, they didn't even have the door shut, 803 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 1: the door that I usually have the door shut. 804 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 3: Yes, so one of the doctors. But it then seemingly 805 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 3: disproportionate to the level of lack of care. We just saw. 806 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 3: One of the doctors sprints after it. The other one 807 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 3: gets on the phone. This is a great clark. He's 808 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 3: on the phone going code red, code red. Uh. He 809 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 3: calls it by like a serial number has just escaped, 810 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 3: and he's saying, use extreme caution, radiation, security radiation. What. 811 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 3: So the cat runs down a bunch of metal stairs 812 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: in what looks like a cinderblock bunker, and we see 813 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 3: dudes in hazard suits chasing after it, their red lights flashing, 814 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 3: sirens going off, and Rob, did you what do you 815 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 3: make of this hazard suit? It looks I don't know, 816 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 3: it looks like a hood that's silvery, like a hood 817 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 3: made out of aluminum foil with eye holes and just 818 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 3: like a big open, frowning mouth hole. 819 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it. We're just kind of like 820 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: saggy el Santo. It's kind of the overall feel that 821 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: I get from this, but it's frightening, and the shot 822 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: we get it feels like it's the cat's point of view, 823 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: like this is a terrifying image this would bring. It 824 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: makes sense that this brings the monster out of the cat. 825 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 3: Right, So the hazmat guys corner the cat. One of 826 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 3: them shoots it with a dart gun, and then the 827 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 3: cat seems at first effectively sedated. It falls down and 828 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 3: it's like it's going to sleep. But then as the 829 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 3: handlers approach with a carrying case, the unconscious cat's mouth 830 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 3: opens and a weird, smaller, much moister cat like puppet 831 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 3: emerges from the bigger cat's mouth. And then you see 832 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 3: blood splatter on the walls, splatter across all of the 833 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 3: safety signs mounted on the cinder blocks. You hear screams, 834 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 3: and this is our first cat attack. 835 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah again. Kind of looks like a newborn cat, 836 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: kind of like a hairball, kind of like a lion. 837 00:44:54,120 --> 00:45:00,879 Speaker 1: Definitely a gromlin. It's a delightfully hideous looking puppet here. 838 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe the hairball thing, maybe that's what 839 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: they were working on at this lab. They were trying 840 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: to genetically engineer a hairball free cat, and they created 841 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 1: a cat that has like a living hairball cat inside. 842 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 3: It, Right, the hairball becomes its own organism. 843 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I can't help but suspect maybe this was 844 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: subconsciously even a part of the monster's genesis and Grayton 845 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: Clark's imagination. Like cats are always grow always puking up 846 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: gross stuff, and so and so's it's a natural step 847 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: to imagine them puking up some sort of a killer cat. 848 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 3: So anyway, the cat, once again in fluffy mode, once 849 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 3: again cute, scampers out into the parking garage, and here 850 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 3: we see the two doctors pursue it, and the security 851 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 3: guard also they run out there and they proceed with 852 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 3: a cat hunt among the cars while the cat scampers 853 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 3: from place to place. 854 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's going to be a lot of the 855 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 1: cat scampering from place to place in this film. One 856 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: of the things that I instantly love about it because 857 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: here's the thing, Like, if you've ever been around cats, 858 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: you know that they have different sorts of movements and 859 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: walks depending on what their aims are. You know, such 860 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,240 Speaker 1: as the way they'll creep while hunting something. You only 861 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,720 Speaker 1: ever see the cat move one way in this picture, 862 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 1: Like clearly that's the only way that the trainers can 863 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,959 Speaker 1: get the cat to go from point A to point 864 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:20,720 Speaker 1: B for the shot. 865 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 3: I think I think all shots are of the cat 866 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 3: scampering to an out of view food bowl. 867 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. 868 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 3: There's also a good exchange where the other doctor says doctor, 869 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 3: oh well, the Graydon Clark doctor's name is doctor Gray. 870 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 3: He says, doctor Gray, you saw what just happened in 871 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 3: that stairwell, and doctor Gray is like, shut up about that, 872 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,280 Speaker 3: just shut up about that. We've got to kill that cat. 873 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 3: So it's like they're trying to keep something secret here. 874 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 3: I think maybe they're doing some unethical experiments. 875 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 1: Who knows. Yeah. By the way, Grad and Clark pretty 876 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: good here in this little director's cameo.

We're most recently talking about Scorsese and. 892 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 3: Oh, that's right in Dreams First Always Dreams. 893 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a fun little role there. 894 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 3: But anyway, so, yeah, the doctors and the security guards 895 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 3: are running around the Graydon Clark doctor yanks the security 896 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 3: guard's gun out of its whole story. He's like, give 897 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 3: me that. He's just taken charge. But these these slobs 898 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 3: are no match for cat thing. It picks them off 899 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 3: one at a time, and I was truly laughing out 900 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 3: loud at just the random meow sounds as they're running 901 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 3: around in the parking garage. 902 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, just to build tension. 903 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 3: There's one cool shot when when it's attacking one of them, 904 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 3: where we just see a shadow, a shadow of like 905 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,760 Speaker 3: a cat head opening two wide, the mouth opening too wide, 906 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,279 Speaker 3: and then the wet puppet wriggling out in silhouette. But 907 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 3: of it kills them all. It kills Gregon Clark as well, 908 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 3: and eventually the cat gets outside and it runs out 909 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 3: into the night. All right. So the next thing is 910 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 3: we're going to meet some of our main characters. This 911 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 3: time it is Bobby and Suzanne. These are our like 912 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 3: early twenties spring breakers in Florida looking for where the 913 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 3: party's at. They're here to have a good time, but 914 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 3: it seems like the problem is they don't have any 915 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 3: money and they don't have any hotel reservations. So they're 916 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 3: in town and they're just flying by the seat of 917 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 3: their bikinis trying to figure out what to do. So 918 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 3: they like go into a fancy hotel lobby to hang out, 919 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 3: and then the main tries to kick them out because 920 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 3: they're not staying at the hotel. But here in this 921 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 3: fancy hotel they happened to meet wall Street Walter, the 922 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 3: rich sleeves bag and I would say, the human antagonist 923 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 3: of the filmy, who offers to help them out. Why 924 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 3: don't they just go join him for dinner? 925 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,320 Speaker 1: And yeah, and again they are just dressed in skimpy 926 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: swimwear and shredded air brushed T shirts. At this point 927 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: it's not even clear from the context. No, they do 928 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: have some luggage. They do have some luggage. I would 929 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: have some bags. 930 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, but wall Street Walter tells them to leave the 931 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 3: bags in the lobby while they go go get dinner. 932 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I love that he invites them in to 933 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: just dine with him at this fancy hotel with them 934 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: just wearing their spring break get up and you know, 935 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: walking past all the other swells. It just kind of 936 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 1: like give him a little side eye over this. So 937 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: it's like he's a pig. Everyone knows he's a pig, 938 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: and he seems really comfortable in that. He's like, yeah, 939 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: I just grabbed a couple of young ladies, just you know, basic, 940 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: off the beach, and I'm going to dine with them here. 941 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 3: But I also like the kind of mental shortcuts this 942 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,760 Speaker 3: movie is making when it has characters arriving in town 943 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 3: for spring break and they're wearing bathing suits, like seemingly 944 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 3: for the travel to get there. It's not like they 945 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 3: would wear normal clothes to travel and then put on 946 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 3: the bathing suits when they go down to the beach. 947 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: Well, on the spring break bus just lets you out 948 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: directly onto the beach, So you gotta be good, you 949 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: gotta be ready to go right right when it arrives. 950 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 3: So let's see the next scene is the part where 951 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 3: George Kennedy include Gooliger show up in a chauffeured car, 952 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 3: and then I had to put in a screen shop 953 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 3: for you to look at here, Rob, what is the 954 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,919 Speaker 3: deal with the guy who opens the car door for 955 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 3: them at the hotel? I guess this is a footman 956 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 3: or you know, a hotel worker of some companies, dressed 957 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 3: like Midwest Dracula. 958 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's got the big top hat. I don't know. 959 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 1: It definitely looked goofy, though maybe it's accurate. Maybe this 960 00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 1: is exactly what was going on at fancy hotels in 961 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: Florida at the time. 962 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,919 Speaker 3: Fort Lauderdale Hotel dorman have like they wear a big 963 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:10,320 Speaker 3: red k in the top hat. Yeah. Anyway, these characters 964 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 3: here are Mike and Albert. Mike and Albert head into 965 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,759 Speaker 3: the restaurant to meet with wall Street Walter, and they 966 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 3: are annoyed that he is he is getting distracted from 967 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 3: their important crime business by trying to creep on these 968 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 3: two women. So Walter departs with his associates, but he 969 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 3: invites Bobby and Suzanne to join him on his yacht 970 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 3: for a party later on. So what's the business on 971 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 3: the yacht? Well, our crime fraud exception trio here. They 972 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 3: they have to meet with some other business guy to 973 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 3: do some shady deals. It's never really specified exactly what 974 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 3: they're doing, just general, you know, corrupt illegal business stuff. 975 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, some sort of illegal money stuff. 976 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. The guy they meet with, he's more or less like, hey, 977 00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 3: I enjoy doing corrupt, illegal things with you, but now 978 00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 3: I'm worried about the SEC. And they don't like the 979 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 3: other guys don't like that this guy is worried about 980 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 3: the SEC. He's like, what if they send me to jail? 981 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 3: And the other guys are like, uh oh. So they 982 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,720 Speaker 3: get suspicious of Frankie the squealer here, and they decide 983 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,920 Speaker 3: that there's only one way to be sure that he 984 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 3: never squeals. They've got to shut him up for good. 985 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 3: And so Albert klue Googlger here, he holds the squeally 986 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 3: guy down and drowns him in the hot tub on 987 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 3: the yacht. Yeah. 988 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: But I mean, the thing that I was thinking is like, 989 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: they've got to use this hot tub later, like having 990 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 1: a party. I've never owned a hot tub, but it's 991 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 1: my understanding that they're a little bit sensitive and you 992 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,359 Speaker 1: can set them off by doing normal things that don't 993 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: involve murdering people in them. So I don't know, maybe 994 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: they have some they have a really good handle on 995 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:43,879 Speaker 1: the chemicals. Here. 996 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 3: Also, after out he makes Albert murder this guy wall Street, 997 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,359 Speaker 3: Walter is like, Albert, the party is in half an hour, 998 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 3: So after you've cleaned up this mess here, get everything ready, 999 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 3: will you. It's like, wow, I really hope Albert washes 1000 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 3: his hands before he puts out the crew today. Yeah, 1001 00:52:59,280 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 3: this is. 1002 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: Why you really need a larger criminal organization so that 1003 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,439 Speaker 1: you don't have goons that are having to to do 1004 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: double duty both cleaning up your murders and also putting 1005 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:10,240 Speaker 1: out your food. 1006 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 3: I was only hired to kill Frankie the squealer. I 1007 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 3: it was not in the job description to put out 1008 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 3: party trays. Oh somewhere in here, there's also a random 1009 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,919 Speaker 3: scene just where we got a check in with the cat. 1010 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 3: See what the Cat's up to? So a guy robs 1011 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 3: a gas station attendant who the gas station attendant was 1012 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,919 Speaker 3: being nice to the cat thing. It was the guy 1013 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,200 Speaker 3: was putting out a saucer of milk for cat thing. 1014 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 3: Cat thing was lapping it up. And while he's doing that, 1015 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 3: some dude runs up and like beats him up and 1016 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 3: steals from the gas station register and drives away in 1017 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 3: a pickup truck, and cat Thing jumps into the truck 1018 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 3: after the thief. It's like the vengeful poll of justice. 1019 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah. At this point, really we have no 1020 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: reason to be against cat Thing. He seems to be 1021 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 1: following his own moral compass. 1022 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 3: So while the thieves are driving away, he's got in 1023 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 3: a pompless too. The thieves are driving away, the cat 1024 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 3: Thing pukes up itself and then attacks the driver through 1025 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 3: the back windscreen, causing the truck to crash. And this 1026 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 3: was a laugh out loud scene for me because of 1027 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 3: the sound effects in the truck scene. They had one 1028 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 3: glass breaking sound effect, you know, like a crash tinkle tinkle, 1029 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 3: which they just played on a loop multiple times as 1030 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,439 Speaker 3: the cars the truck is rolling down a hill. 1031 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, because otherwise it's very impressive looking wreck. Yeah yeah, 1032 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: roll this truck. 1033 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 3: So now we're going to have our spring breakers combined. 1034 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 3: We're getting to a scene that has some of the 1035 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 3: funniest dialogue developments I think in the movie. So there's 1036 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 3: like a scene at a restaurant patio overlooking a bunch 1037 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 3: of docks with boats tied up. Where we're going to 1038 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 3: meet our boy spring Breakers. These are Lance and Corey 1039 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,839 Speaker 3: and they're hanging out together at a table. Cory is, 1040 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 3: of course reading the Street Journal, and Corey says, Fort 1041 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 3: Lauderdale at spring Break, no place like it? Agree, and 1042 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 3: Lance says, no contest, haha, and they high five. They 1043 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 3: high five for that, and then Lance says, you know, 1044 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,280 Speaker 3: let's go down to the beach and check out the action. 1045 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 3: But Corey says, my friend, the beach is for riff raff. 1046 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 3: You want to find a classy chick, you go to 1047 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 3: the marina. That's where the money is. Come on, everybody 1048 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 3: knows that. And meanwhile Bobby and Suzanne are wandering up. 1049 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 3: I guess they already went to the yacht party the 1050 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 3: night before, but we never see that. 1051 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, scene missing on the party. We'll see the aftermath 1052 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: of the party later. But it was a big bass. 1053 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 1: It seems like it just consisted of them going out 1054 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 1: drinking and dancing while I guess Walter and maybe his 1055 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 1: men like watch. 1056 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 3: On unclear, yeah, unclear. 1057 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1058 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 3: So the ladies walk up to the boy's table and 1059 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 3: they ask if they can sit down and the spring 1060 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 3: Breaker boys are thrilled, but then uh oh, here comes 1061 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 3: the drag. Their friend Martin comes to join the four 1062 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 3: of them, and Martin is the biology major. He's like, hey, guys, yeah, 1063 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 3: I can't find any place to stay. The whole town's booked. 1064 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 3: And Corey's like, not now Hedgeworth. I guess that's Martin's 1065 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 3: last name, not now Hedgeworth. We're busy. So his friends 1066 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 3: here think this guy is a real loser. But why'd 1067 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 3: they go with him? 1068 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't one of those classic why are these 1069 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 1: people friends moments? 1070 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, the jock, the Wall Street journal guy, 1071 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 3: and the biology major who only two of them seem 1072 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,360 Speaker 3: to like each other. Yeah, but anyway, after this, okay, 1073 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,240 Speaker 3: so literally I've told you everything that has transpired between 1074 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 3: these people, so I didn't leave anything out yet. So 1075 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,319 Speaker 3: the girls they sat down. The boys are like, hey, 1076 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 3: this other guy is sitting with us. They have not 1077 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 3: introduced themselves to each other, they've not traded names or 1078 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 3: anything yet. Just the ladies arrive at the table, they 1079 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 3: ask if they can sit down. They sit down, and 1080 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 3: then Bobby says, last night we met this guy, Walter. 1081 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 3: He's got this great yacht, and then Corey says, wait, 1082 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 3: are you talking about Wall Street Walter. I mean, this 1083 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,439 Speaker 3: guy is the best arbitrageur in the world. I mean 1084 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 3: he's made million He's made more millions than anybody. And 1085 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 3: then Suzanne says, must be the same guy. You should 1086 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 3: see his boat. Bobby says, well, anyway, we're supposed to 1087 00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 3: set sail this morning on a cruise for the Caribbean, 1088 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 3: be gone a couple of days, maybe more. Why don't 1089 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,439 Speaker 3: you guys come with us. They have not traded names yet, 1090 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 3: they said. They just sat down at the table. 1091 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: And they're just like, hey, we're going out to sea 1092 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 1: with this guy, who you know up clearly doesn't have 1093 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 1: any ulterior motives, so come along with us. He'll surely 1094 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: totally accept just three additional random dudes coming as well. 1095 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 3: Well. Suzanne introduces a logic here though, So clearly Bobby 1096 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 3: and Suzanne are interested in this guy because he's rich, 1097 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 3: he's got a yacht, he can take them on a vacation. 1098 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 3: But they're also not sure about him, so they are 1099 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 3: recruiting some help here from these guys. Susan says, you 1100 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 3: can help us handle this guy if he gets out 1101 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 3: of hand. But then I was like, but why would 1102 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 3: they have any more reason to trust these guys than 1103 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 3: Wall Street? They just met it, They just met them. Yeah, 1104 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 3: but Bobby says, besides, I hear the Caribbean's perfect this 1105 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 3: time of year for swimming in the raw, and she's 1106 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 3: grabbing Lance's leg though she does not know his name 1107 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 3: is Lance. 1108 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: I guess is that what they call it swimming in 1109 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 1: the raw? 1110 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 3: I think that means skinny dipping. Yeah, so obviously Bobby 1111 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 3: is interested in swimming in the raw with Lance, and 1112 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 3: he's like, oh yo, and Corey dreamily. You know, he's 1113 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 3: got Wall Street journals in his eyes, and he goes, 1114 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 3: I am really going to meet Walter Graham. So our 1115 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 3: spring Breakers make their way out to the yacht. On 1116 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 3: the way, they hear some meowing coming from inside this 1117 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 3: big storage bin on the docks. They go over and 1118 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 3: open it up and there's the cat. Yeah, yeahs in 1119 00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:58,880 Speaker 3: this box. 1120 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. We didn't get every leg of cat thing's incredible journey, 1121 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: but it managed to wind up here just as this 1122 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: crew is about to board the yacht. 1123 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 3: Oh wait, but there is a thing I forgot to 1124 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 3: mention from earlier when the cat was watching Wall Street 1125 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 3: Walter's limo pull away from the hotel almost like it 1126 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 3: was scoping him out. Hmmm you remember that? 1127 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, why though? 1128 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's well, so we've established that the cat Thing 1129 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 3: not always, but usually attacks people who are sinful, and 1130 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 3: so because Wall Street Walter is a particularly awful and 1131 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,920 Speaker 3: odious human being, maybe it's like drawn to him like 1132 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 3: a magnet. So that's why it's watching his car and 1133 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 3: also how it ends up on the dock beside his 1134 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 3: yacht hmmm yeah. 1135 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: Or maybe he knows even more, Maybe he knows that 1136 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: Wall Street Walter is a majority stakeholder in the pharmaceutical 1137 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 1: corporation that created cat Thing for once to destroy him. 1138 00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 3: That's a good theory. 1139 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm basing it absolutely nothing, but that's what I'm pulling 1140 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 1: out here. 1141 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute, this is a time for a 1142 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 3: good sidebar. Actually, what do you think is the intelligence 1143 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 3: level or sentience of the cat Thing? There are many 1144 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 3: things it does throughout the movie that almost feel strategic, 1145 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 3: but the way they're filmed it never makes it really clear. 1146 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 3: Like at one point, the cat Thing sabotages the boat engine, 1147 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 3: but it makes it look like that could be an accident, 1148 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 3: Like the boat just kind of it shakes because somebody 1149 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 3: shakes the wheel, and then it kind of raw like 1150 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 3: jumps out of the cat's mouth and scratches a wire, 1151 01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 3: and then the engine is sabotaged, and there's other stuff 1152 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,400 Speaker 3: like that, but it's never quite clear. 1153 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: Well, my answer, which is also going to be a 1154 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 1: little vague, is that it clearly has Grimlin level intelligence, 1155 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 1: so it can do things that are smart and clever, 1156 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: but it will also do things that are sneaky, even 1157 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: if they're stupid. It's just it's just straight up Grimlin 1158 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: level intelligence, like standard Grimlin, not brainy Grimlin from Grimlin's too, 1159 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 1: but just like standard Grimlin intelligence. 1160 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 3: Maybe this actually comes back to they all share one 1161 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 3: brain cell between them, and then the cat thing is 1162 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 3: in possession of the of the universal orange tabby brain cell. 1163 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,360 Speaker 3: Then it quickly becomes syentient and it can strategize like this, 1164 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:22,800 Speaker 3: but then it again disappears. 1165 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 1: There you go again. The memes tell us this, so 1166 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 1: it must be true. 1167 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 3: So our spring breakers they pull the cat out of 1168 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 3: the box. Martin removes a collar from its neck that 1169 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 3: says genetic laboratory, and he reasons from this that it 1170 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 3: may have come from a genetic laboratory. Then Suzanne falls 1171 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 3: in love with the kitty cat. She's hugging it, and 1172 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 3: she insists they've got to bring it with them on 1173 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,919 Speaker 3: the boat. But like, what if this is somebody's cat. 1174 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, I guess the collar makes 1175 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 3: it look like it's a lab animal, but still, so, yeah, 1176 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 3: they just bring it on the boat. Oh, and there's 1177 01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 3: a funny thing here where at first Lance the jock 1178 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 3: is really worried about getting c set seasick, and then 1179 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 3: about four seconds after he steps onto a boat, he 1180 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:05,920 Speaker 3: vomits a bunch of mellow. 1181 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 1: Yellow Yeah, almost immediate barf gag. 1182 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's translucent yellow liquid. So oh, next thing is 1183 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,959 Speaker 3: we meet are the main last character we haven't met yet, 1184 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 3: Captain Rachel. We're on the yacht and there's a scene 1185 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 3: where Captain Rachel is arguing with wall Street Walter. Walter 1186 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,440 Speaker 3: wants them to leave immediately. There's kind of a sense 1187 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 3: that the law could be closing in on him soon, 1188 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 3: but she doesn't know that, and she protests. She's like, well, 1189 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,959 Speaker 3: we don't have any crew right now. I'm the only 1190 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 3: one here. And the reason they don't have any crew 1191 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 3: is that Walter harshly insulted and mistreated the previous crew, 1192 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 3: so they all quit and then Walter is like, come on, 1193 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 3: you know, come on, I yeah, just you can do it. 1194 01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 1: And so this is why he is cool with these 1195 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: guys coming on board, because they're going to serve as 1196 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 1: the crew as they make their escape fleeing the SEC 1197 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 1: on their way to the they went down on their 1198 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:01,880 Speaker 1: way to the Cayman Islands. 1199 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 3: That's right. So Rachel is sort of stuck here in 1200 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,480 Speaker 3: the in the boat captaining situation, because do tell me 1201 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 3: if I'm getting some details wrong here. I think the 1202 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 3: way they explain it is it used to be her 1203 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,560 Speaker 3: father's boat, but her father got in debt or something 1204 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 3: and lost the boat and then he died and she 1205 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,480 Speaker 3: is now working as captain of this boat until she 1206 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 3: can buy the boat back from wall Street. Walter Is 1207 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,320 Speaker 3: that basically how I understood it. Yeah, and he like 1208 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 3: wall Street, Walter insults her. She clearly hates Walter, but 1209 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 3: she's kind of being a team player for now so 1210 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 3: that she can achieve her own boat related goals. 1211 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 1: That's right. 1212 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, so our spring breakers arrive, Walter is like, oh, 1213 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 3: I didn't tell you could bring a bunch of random 1214 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,800 Speaker 3: boyfriends you just met at the marina. So he's trying 1215 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,320 Speaker 3: to send the boys back to shore. But while they're 1216 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 3: in the middle of this, klue Gooliger arrives with news 1217 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,920 Speaker 3: that the SEC is looking for Walter. They want to 1218 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 3: search his boat. So this light's a fire under Walter 1219 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 3: and it's like, we got to go now, and Bobby 1220 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 3: convinces Walter that, yeah, like you mentioned, they can let 1221 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,360 Speaker 3: their new boyfriends stay on board so they can serve 1222 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 3: as the boat's crew. Genius. 1223 01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fun plot hook, you know. I could 1224 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: see this working in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign easily. 1225 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 3: So it's anchors away, and of course the cat is 1226 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 3: coming along. Walter also does not want to take the 1227 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 3: cat with him, but Suzanne is like, but he's so cute. 1228 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're like, it's good luck to have a 1229 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 1: cat on board, which that's right. Yeah. 1230 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 3: So this is basically the end of the first act. 1231 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,919 Speaker 3: The pieces are all in place, and for the rest 1232 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 3: of the movie, the cat will begin to gradually pick 1233 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 3: off the characters on the boat while the humans try 1234 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 3: to figure out what's going on and react. So maybe 1235 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 3: we'll now go a little bit less chronological and just 1236 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 3: pick some scenes to focus on. The first night there 1237 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 3: on the boat is kind of party night, where everybody's 1238 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 3: drinking and dancing, and there's a scene where everybody's gathered 1239 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,240 Speaker 3: around while wall Street Walter regales the group with wonderful 1240 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 3: stories about times that he was great at doing deals 1241 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 3: and about times that he really showed somebody else whose boss. 1242 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 3: He's eating a banana throughout this, by the way, and 1243 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 3: Corey just adores him. He's like, wow, wall Street Walter 1244 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 3: tell us another Meanwhile, off to the side, Rachel and Martin, 1245 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 3: the two basically good characters, are playing backgammon, and they're 1246 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,400 Speaker 3: quietly getting to know each other, and you know, they're 1247 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 3: talking about their backstories, and Suzanne is cuddling the cat, which, 1248 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 3: by the way, we have already seen vomit itself and 1249 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 3: sabotaged the engine earlier than this. That happened at some point, 1250 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 3: and wall Street Walter drunkenly comes over to insult both 1251 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 3: Rachel and Martin, and you know, Rachel just kind of 1252 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 3: tells him off. But there's also a dancing scene here 1253 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 3: that reminds me almost to Friday the Thirteenth, Part four, 1254 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 3: with Crispin Glover dancing. The dancing itself is nowhere near 1255 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 3: as weird as Crispin Glover's dance, but the framing and 1256 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 3: the feel of the scene is quite similar. 1257 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, this is completely unbelievable, Like what is dancing? 1258 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:06,800 Speaker 2: Like? 1259 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 1: What do people do when they hang out? Let's try 1260 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,480 Speaker 1: and create it here for the camera. 1261 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 3: So let's talk about the death of Albert, the clue 1262 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 3: Goolager character. So Albert is supposed to be steering the boat. 1263 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,160 Speaker 3: Rachel gives him instructions and leaves him there. But Albert, well, 1264 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 3: he's steering the boat. I think he gets bored, and 1265 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 3: so he gets a bottle of wine out of a 1266 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 3: cabinet and he's supposed to be driving, but he's getting drunk. 1267 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 3: He's talking to himself a lot. He's like, oh, Albert, 1268 01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 3: you're the captain now. Huh, you're the captain now. And 1269 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 3: he's also singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. But 1270 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,200 Speaker 3: why why that? Maybe because it was public domain they 1271 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 3: can't think of anything else. Yeah, I don't know. 1272 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,960 Speaker 1: I got the sense that the old clue here is 1273 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 1: just hamming it up as much as possible before his 1274 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 1: inevitable death. 1275 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,880 Speaker 3: Scene just having a belt of wine and singing Twinkle Twinkle, 1276 01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,959 Speaker 3: Little Star. Then Rachel comes in and relieves him after 1277 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 3: realizing that he has steered them far off course, He's like, 1278 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 3: get out of here. So klue Googliger goes out wandering 1279 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 3: around on the ship and he I think he's looking 1280 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 3: for a storage box that has more booze in it. 1281 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 3: He opens one up and the cat's in the box. 1282 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 3: He's like, hey, cat, get out of the way, that's 1283 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 3: my wine. It gets the wine out and then he 1284 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,320 Speaker 3: uncorks it and has a bunch and spits it on 1285 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 3: the cat. 1286 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that was a mistake. 1287 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 3: Kitty cat doesn't like that. Kitty cat does not like 1288 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 3: that at all. And then we get the vomit self 1289 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:36,640 Speaker 3: up vomit self up reaction and it attacks klue Gooliger 1290 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 3: and what a weird attack. So it goes for the 1291 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 3: throat and there's blood everywhere. But after the attack, we 1292 01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 3: see klue Gooliger's neck like his veins throbbing under his 1293 01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,160 Speaker 3: skin in this makeup effect, and I was like, WHOA, 1294 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,920 Speaker 3: what's happening here? We were about to get some kind 1295 01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 3: of transformation. 1296 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, same, I was like, he is about to mutate 1297 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,920 Speaker 1: into some sort of abomination, and now we're gonna have 1298 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 1: like zombies on board and a killer cat or is 1299 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: he going to turn into some sort of like wear 1300 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 1: cat thing or something. But as we'll find out, this 1301 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: is just the cat thing, then I'm doing its work. 1302 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,519 Speaker 1: It's like a high speed, lethal cat scratch fever that 1303 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: drives you mad with pain and then the only solution 1304 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,639 Speaker 1: to your pain is to leap into the sea and die. 1305 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 3: That's right. So unfortunately klue Googliger does not turn into 1306 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,440 Speaker 3: a cat person. Instead, it's just like his veins explode 1307 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,480 Speaker 3: and he falls into the water splash. 1308 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Yep. 1309 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 3: Now, in the aftermath of this, Mike and wall Street 1310 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,520 Speaker 3: Walter find the blood everywhere, but they cover up Albert's 1311 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 3: death because Walter just wants to get back to the 1312 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 3: party and he's like, oh, we don't have time for this. 1313 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,320 Speaker 3: It will sort this out after we're free. And then 1314 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 3: the next day Mike and Walter act all surprised when 1315 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 3: it's discovered that Albert is missing and there's blood everywhere. Also, 1316 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 3: by this point, the ship's engine is fully malfunctioning due 1317 01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 3: to the cat things sabotage, and wall Street Walter convinced 1318 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 3: Rachel to keep sailing ahead instead of turning back to 1319 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,160 Speaker 3: look for Albert. I was just trying to remember. How 1320 01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,599 Speaker 3: does he convince her? I think it's just more boat 1321 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 3: related lever boat ownership. 1322 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 1: He's kind of like, like, you get us to the Caymans, 1323 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to have so much money, I can just 1324 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 1: basically sign this boat over to you. And you know, 1325 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 1: if she she knows that this isn't right. I mean, 1326 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 1: Albert is missing and they should turn back and look 1327 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,960 Speaker 1: for him. But she she she is, you know, seduced 1328 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,720 Speaker 1: by money here and by by the boat ownership. So 1329 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: Walter is able to sway her to his side, and 1330 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:36,679 Speaker 1: she's like, all right, we'll keep going. 1331 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 3: They also, I just remember this. They also convince her 1332 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 3: by lying and say that saying that Albert couldn't swim, 1333 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 3: so there is zero chance that he's still alive. 1334 01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, So she she factors that into it and still 1335 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 1: sides with money over over going back and looking for him. 1336 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 3: But Martin and Rachel are more inquisitive about what's going 1337 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 3: on here. So Martin takes a sample of the blood 1338 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 3: they find on the deck and he examines it with 1339 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 3: what equipment A sextant, a sextant, you know, for navigation. 1340 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,520 Speaker 3: He uses like a lens on the sextant in combination 1341 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 3: with a magnifying glass to look at the blood and 1342 01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,920 Speaker 3: he's like, my god, this blood is at least five 1343 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,639 Speaker 3: hundred times more bloody than any blood I've ever seen. 1344 01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:27,760 Speaker 3: It could only be a mutation. And she's like what, 1345 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,800 Speaker 3: but you're a biology major and he's like, no, I know, 1346 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 3: I've never seen any mutated blood as mutated as this. 1347 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:47,799 Speaker 3: So some weird doings are afoot. So next seeing things 1348 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,160 Speaker 3: on board start getting more violent between the people on 1349 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 3: the ship. So there's a scene where wall Street Walter 1350 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:58,200 Speaker 3: is creeping on Bobby while she's doing aerobics, and then 1351 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,720 Speaker 3: he gets creepier and creepier until it seems that he 1352 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 3: is about to rape her, but then Lance shows up 1353 01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,720 Speaker 3: and beats him up, but unfortunately, then Mike shows up 1354 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 3: and shoots Lance in the arm. So now things have 1355 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 3: sort of openly turned hostile between the corporate creeps and 1356 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,280 Speaker 3: the spring Breakers, and Mike has all the spring Breakers 1357 01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 3: at gunpoint, but there is a cat attack while he's 1358 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 3: like standing there with the gun pointed at them. The 1359 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 3: cat bites Mike on the leg. This is George Kennedy 1360 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,519 Speaker 3: bites him on the bites dragline on the leg in 1361 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 3: a way that it looks like it nearly bites his 1362 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,680 Speaker 3: leg off at first. Yeah, not quite, but it's like 1363 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,120 Speaker 3: digging in there, and they're later talking about it like, wow, 1364 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 3: it bit right through his shoe. 1365 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, so set Yes, sever's right through the achilles tendon. 1366 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 1: There's a lot of screaming. Yeah, he's hitting the floor. 1367 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,920 Speaker 1: And now, at first what I was watching is I 1368 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,679 Speaker 1: couldn't tell if the other characters were supposed to see 1369 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 1: that kat thing did it, because cat thing kind of 1370 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 1: comes out underneath the furniture and attacks, which I have 1371 01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 1: to say this is this is very unbrand for. 1372 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,439 Speaker 3: A household, reaching out from under furniture. 1373 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, reaching out from underneath something and attacking the feet. 1374 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,920 Speaker 1: My feet are attacked on a near daily basis by 1375 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 1: my own cat, but never gets me quite this hard. 1376 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 1: There's never splurting blood and screaming. And of course my cat, 1377 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,320 Speaker 1: not being a mutant, also doesn't have venom that makes 1378 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 1: my veins explode. 1379 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 3: That's right. So what happens here is the bite seems 1380 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 3: a lot worse than a cat bite could normally be 1381 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 3: for some reason. They're I mean, I guess it's just 1382 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,679 Speaker 3: duty to treat whoever. But they're trying to help out 1383 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,520 Speaker 3: Mike after he was just pointing a gun at them, 1384 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 3: and they're like, what's going on Mike, And he's like, well, 1385 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 3: you know, I've been bitten by a mutated cat. So 1386 01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,120 Speaker 3: all this venom is coursing through his veins, and his 1387 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,640 Speaker 3: veins are sort of popping up under the scan and exploding, 1388 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:56,120 Speaker 3: and Martin is explaining like, wow, the blood was mutating 1389 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 3: like nothing I've ever seen before, and it makes Mike's 1390 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 3: arteries explode and he dies. For a minute, it looks 1391 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 3: like he's gonna go full cane and alien. I think, 1392 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,719 Speaker 3: like something pops up out of his gut like a head, 1393 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 3: but then it doesn't. Nothing emerges. 1394 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, again, this is gonna be another cat 1395 01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,639 Speaker 1: thing bursting out of George Kennedy's chest, but it doesn't happen. 1396 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 3: I think that was just another vain explore. Maybe that 1397 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:23,720 Speaker 3: was his heart exploding or something, I guess. So at 1398 01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 3: this point, Rachel and Suzanne try to go radio for help, 1399 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,920 Speaker 3: but wall Street Walter pulls a quint in Jaws here 1400 01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 3: he shoots the communications equipment, and he's like, you won't 1401 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 3: be getting in touch with anybody. But fortunately Rachel and 1402 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,519 Speaker 3: Suzanne get the upper hand. They like blast him with 1403 01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 3: a fire extinguisher and they get control of the gun 1404 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,639 Speaker 3: and subdue Walter. So after this, the spring Breakers take charge. 1405 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 3: Now they are in control of the vessel. 1406 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 1: That's right, Walter is captive and they've just got to 1407 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,839 Speaker 1: sceer this ship to safety in justice. 1408 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 3: Now, what other scenes should be mentioned? As things things 1409 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000 Speaker 3: go on, the cat will continue to attack various members 1410 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 3: of the going to say the crew people on board 1411 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:06,600 Speaker 3: the ship. Here, there's one weird subplot where the cat 1412 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 3: infects all of the food on the yacht with cat 1413 01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:15,000 Speaker 3: with like vein explosion venom. Yeah, and this kind of 1414 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,800 Speaker 3: reminded me of the like the scenes in The Thing 1415 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,599 Speaker 3: where like the thing is getting to the blood to 1416 01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,880 Speaker 3: taint all the blood so they can't test for it. 1417 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,559 Speaker 1: Mm yeah yeah. And I think there was a scene 1418 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 1: an Alien where the xenomorph gets into their food. Maybe 1419 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:32,679 Speaker 1: it was a deleted scene, but it's one that I've 1420 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: seen mentioned time and time again when when fans are 1421 01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,599 Speaker 1: debating how quickly a xenomorph grows and what it may 1422 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,400 Speaker 1: or may not have to eat to get to that point. 1423 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 3: There's one scene eventually that was an amazing, like laugh 1424 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 3: out loud moment, and it's the it's the Lance make 1425 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 3: out arm scare scene. 1426 01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: Yes, oh god, this is so good. This is a 1427 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: scene that, as we describe it here, it may sound 1428 01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: grotesque and and and I would say bad taste maybe 1429 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,680 Speaker 1: with a with a with a touch of cruelty to it, 1430 01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 1: but the way, but that's just not the nature of 1431 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 1: this film, Like it ends up just being laugh out loud, 1432 01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 1: funny and just so over the top ridiculous. 1433 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,640 Speaker 3: So what happened, Like Lance and Bobby are making Lance. 1434 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 1: Was the one who was shot by Mike. So he's, 1435 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, he's still recovering. He's he's maybe recovering from 1436 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,799 Speaker 1: that that gunshot wound. He's in bed, he's in bad place. 1437 01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,599 Speaker 3: They're kissing and he's like, I can't feel anything in my. 1438 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,559 Speaker 1: Arms, Like my arm's really numb. And so she moves 1439 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,720 Speaker 1: a towel off of the hand of that arm, and 1440 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,200 Speaker 1: then we see that cat thing is just munching on 1441 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,240 Speaker 1: his fingers, that's like munched all his fingers off, and 1442 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: there's just blood everywhere and of course, Lance screams, and 1443 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,200 Speaker 1: and from there, I mean again, this is a very 1444 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:51,960 Speaker 1: fast acting mutant cat thing venom. Lance very quickly like 1445 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 1: loses his mind and is convinced that his only hope 1446 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 1: is to jump off the ship to his death. 1447 01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:58,760 Speaker 3: And I think Bobby goes with him. 1448 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bobby's like no, and then goes with him. And 1449 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 1: then she's dead too, So. 1450 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 3: That's the end of them. There. 1451 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:06,800 Speaker 1: Should note that, you know, the girls were nice to 1452 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,920 Speaker 1: cat thing, and so far cat Thing has not directly 1453 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 1: attacked either of the girls. 1454 01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 3: That's right. It has only bitten the boys. Yeah, the 1455 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 3: corporate creeps and the boys. Yeah. Though I will say 1456 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,400 Speaker 3: to comment on whether the cat punishes immorality or not, 1457 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,320 Speaker 3: Lance has been a little bit mean to the cat. 1458 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 3: But Lance actually hasn't been that bad in terms of 1459 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 3: human behavior. You can imagine a Jock in the spring 1460 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,519 Speaker 3: Break movie being a much more terrible and obnoxious character. 1461 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 3: He's just a little bit annoying to the other humans. 1462 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. Now, 1463 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: in the in the midst of all of this, what 1464 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,960 Speaker 1: we also have Corey, the preppy character he like is 1465 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 1: he's running a side deal with Walter there's like a 1466 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 1: scene where Walter the prisoner now kind of seduces Corey 1467 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,679 Speaker 1: back over to his side, let me show you something 1468 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,160 Speaker 1: like that, but I don't remember the details of their deal. 1469 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 3: He invites Corey into Corey's in there like, wow, you know, 1470 01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 3: I thought you were great Wall Street Walter, but it 1471 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 3: turns out you're You're a real joke. I like you 1472 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 3: at all. And while Street Walter is like, let me 1473 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,519 Speaker 3: change your mind. Come look at my wall safe. I've 1474 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 3: got money, and Corey's like, oh, money, but I don't. 1475 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 3: I don't think now I've forgotten this detail. Is Corey 1476 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,400 Speaker 3: going to go for the deal? I don't think so. 1477 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,559 Speaker 1: But doesn't Corey then agree to a plan where they're 1478 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:25,519 Speaker 1: going to put out poison for the cat. 1479 01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to try to kill the cat. Yeah, 1480 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 3: but that's in his interest too, that's in everybody's interest 1481 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,559 Speaker 3: in the boat. I mean, so he's going to put 1482 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 3: out poisoned food around the boat so that the cat 1483 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 3: will eat it and die. That's his plan, though he 1484 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 3: actually Lance is not killed by the cat. Lance is 1485 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 3: killed by his own clumsiness because he's like carrying a 1486 01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 3: gun around and he's in the engine room and he 1487 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,800 Speaker 3: shoots something that blasts a bunch of steam on it. 1488 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,559 Speaker 1: He's trying to shoot the cat. Yeah, it's a steam 1489 01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:00,000 Speaker 1: pipe and the steam just blasts them. By the way, 1490 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 1: from the effects, it's clear that this is like like 1491 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 1: fire extinguisher or something and not steam. But then but 1492 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,960 Speaker 1: then we cut to this like horrific makeup effect on 1493 01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,000 Speaker 1: Corey where he's just been completely scalded to death, and 1494 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,719 Speaker 1: it's pretty horrific. After seeing all these all these shots 1495 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 1: of the cat thing puppet emerging from the fake cat head, 1496 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,120 Speaker 1: this one was kind of a little alarming to see. 1497 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: You know, some I don't know how believable they are 1498 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 1: from a, you know, an anatomical level, but horror movie wise, 1499 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:29,719 Speaker 1: it was very effective. 1500 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 3: So eventually the only passengers left alive on the yacht 1501 01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,760 Speaker 3: are Rachel, the captain, Martin the biologist, and wall Street. 1502 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Walter's right, Oh, we forgot about Suzanne. Suzanne, still on board, 1503 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,120 Speaker 1: eats poisoned cat food and then her veins explode. 1504 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,680 Speaker 3: She thinks that the cat food is not poisoned. She 1505 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 3: like breaks into the pantry and eats a piece of 1506 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,800 Speaker 3: bread and she's like, they were lying to me. It's 1507 01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 3: not poisoned. It's fine, but then uh, yeah, her veins. 1508 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,719 Speaker 1: Load, but again not directly killed by the cat. 1509 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,879 Speaker 3: The cat is watching her when it happens. 1510 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:06,439 Speaker 1: They do like to watch. 1511 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:11,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so there is then there's a storm. There's a storm, 1512 01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 3: and the boat basically starts sinking. There was another part 1513 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 3: where it's hard to explain why this was so funny, 1514 01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,879 Speaker 3: but Rachel is like, there, you know, the hull is damaged. 1515 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 3: We're taking on water, and then it just cuts to 1516 01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:27,639 Speaker 3: a wall with like a clean, sort of softball sized 1517 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,439 Speaker 3: round hole in the wood and there's like clearly a 1518 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,920 Speaker 3: hose on the other side of it, just gushing through. 1519 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,680 Speaker 1: Like, how did did the cat do this? How did 1520 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 1: this happen? 1521 01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's really funny. And so the 1522 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 3: boat's sinking and Rachel and Martin they get away to 1523 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 3: a lifeboat. I guess they're trying. Walter is gonna come 1524 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 3: with them, but he tries to save his money. He's like, no, 1525 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 3: I got to get all my briefcases of. 1526 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,880 Speaker 1: Cash, silver briefcases. 1527 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:57,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, loading up these silver briefcases full of wads of cash, 1528 01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,799 Speaker 3: and he's like, gotta go back for another briefcase of cash, 1529 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 3: and you know what, He's going to be killed by greed. 1530 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,560 Speaker 3: It's like it's like Ilsa at the end of the 1531 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,880 Speaker 3: Last Crusade. You know, you let it go, but he 1532 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,080 Speaker 3: can't let it go. The cat gets him. And then 1533 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,840 Speaker 3: Rachel and Martin are in the lifeboat, and since they're 1534 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,759 Speaker 3: now drifting away from the sinking yacht, you'd think they'd 1535 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,160 Speaker 3: be okay, but no, there is a coda. There is 1536 01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:23,240 Speaker 3: one last conflict, and it is magnifico. 1537 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:27,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is amazing. If you decide to watch Uninvited 1538 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 1: and you find yourself becoming a little bored and you're 1539 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 1: tempted to turn it off, don't turn it off. I 1540 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 1: would recommend just watching it, but if you must, at 1541 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 1: least fast forward to the end and watch this final 1542 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,479 Speaker 1: sequence in the lifeboat, because it is it is just 1543 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,720 Speaker 1: absolutely inspired B cinema. 1544 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 3: So they're in the lifeboat and then the the killer 1545 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 3: cat thing puppet starts popping up out of the water 1546 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,719 Speaker 3: and attacking them on the boat. So like grabs Martin 1547 01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 3: and he's like ah ah and wrestling it away, and 1548 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 3: then Rachel's like, oh no, did it by No, I'm okay. 1549 01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 1: Oh there it is again, and it's back in the 1550 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 1: boat coming at them. It's like, oh, I mean, it's 1551 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 1: just troll. Two levels of awestness. And it reminded Actually, 1552 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 1: my wife made this connection first because I had to 1553 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 1: show where this ending. She didn't watch the whole film, 1554 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you got to watch the ending, and 1555 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: she said, it's just like the moment in the Simpsons 1556 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,640 Speaker 1: Treehouse of Horror where Homer gets his hands stuck in 1557 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 1: the toaster. 1558 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,800 Speaker 3: Again. Yes, like Dad, it's stuck in there again. Oh, 1559 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,759 Speaker 3: it's one of my favorites. It is. It's exactly that energy. 1560 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,640 Speaker 3: And then the way that they defeat the cat is 1561 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 3: so good. 1562 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,599 Speaker 1: Well, the whole logic ground. So they're like, the cat 1563 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 1: is only jumping in here after us, because this is 1564 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,320 Speaker 1: the only thing floating in the area. We should throw 1565 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,360 Speaker 1: the suitcase full of millions of dollars out into the 1566 01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,200 Speaker 1: water and then the cat will be forced to float 1567 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: on that. 1568 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 3: But first they dump out the millions of dollars. 1569 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Well, let's get the money. Let's get the money out first. 1570 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 1: They did have that that that moment of clarity, I guess. 1571 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: But then yeah, they throw the briefcase out and the 1572 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,760 Speaker 1: cat puppet cat thing is just setting on the floating briefcase. 1573 01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why he couldn't jump into the boat 1574 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:07,799 Speaker 1: and attack them a third time and a fourth time. 1575 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 1: At this point, they're able to leave it behind again 1576 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 1: in a lifeboat that is not propelled by anything except 1577 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:17,680 Speaker 1: for the storm all around them. So we get this 1578 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,720 Speaker 1: shot of there they're going to safety and their lifeboat 1579 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,559 Speaker 1: and there is cat thing floating on the silver briefcase 1580 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 1: in the ocean. 1581 01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,760 Speaker 3: So evil wall Street Walter got his comeuppance and his 1582 01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 3: co conspirators. Unfortunately, many innocent people perished along the way 1583 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 3: as well. But our two heroes in the end, they 1584 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,040 Speaker 3: drift to the Cayman Islands, I guess, and they get 1585 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,000 Speaker 3: to walk away with a duffel bag full of money, 1586 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 3: and there's like a scene of them talking to the authorities, 1587 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,760 Speaker 3: like explaining what happened, and the authorities are like, I 1588 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 3: don't know about this cat monster story. But they're both 1589 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 3: just like looking at the duffel bag like can we 1590 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:50,960 Speaker 3: take this? 1591 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? And they're like, yeah, sure, go for it. You 1592 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: two need a vacation after all that. So it seems 1593 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 1: like our hero our survivors are are on track for 1594 01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 1: a happy ending here. 1595 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, though, I guess Captain Rachel is not going to 1596 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 3: get the boat she wanted. Maybe she's going to get 1597 01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:09,320 Speaker 3: a different boat. 1598 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she'd want a different boat after all this, 1599 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:15,799 Speaker 1: you know what a blood bath boat. That's I'm probably 1600 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 1: still poisoned by the cat, the mutant cat that was 1601 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:19,840 Speaker 1: running them up and boarded. 1602 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,720 Speaker 3: I guess they are competing interests there, Like it has 1603 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 3: sentimental family values, kind of a legacy yacht, but also 1604 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,559 Speaker 3: it was where the cat thing killed all those people. 1605 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, but you, even though we have a 1606 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,080 Speaker 1: essentially a happy ending here, you need something a little 1607 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,680 Speaker 1: more on a sci fi horror movie like this. You 1608 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,479 Speaker 1: need a little like bump ump bum action, but you know, 1609 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 1: maybe setting up for a sequel, but at least leaving 1610 01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: you with an uneasy feeling that things are not going 1611 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 1: to be okay. 1612 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,840 Speaker 3: Two twist ending. Now there's the theatrical twist ending. The 1613 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 3: one I know is the one on the beach. Is 1614 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,440 Speaker 3: that the same one that was in your version. 1615 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 1: In the theatrical yet? 1616 01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 3: Okay? Yeah? So wait, why don't you marry? What happens here? 1617 01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,200 Speaker 1: Okay? So we get a nice beach scene. I believe 1618 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:06,240 Speaker 1: what is the name of this beach? This is actually 1619 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:08,800 Speaker 1: a California beach that a lot of stuff has been 1620 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,960 Speaker 1: shot on. This is not Florida, but on this beach 1621 01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,440 Speaker 1: we see Oh, here washed up is the silver briefcase 1622 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 1: again that used to have cash in it, that was emptied, 1623 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 1: and it was the last place that we saw cat thing. 1624 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,680 Speaker 1: And then here is a little boy walking along on 1625 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,800 Speaker 1: the beach. This is actually Graydon Clark's son, by the way, 1626 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,640 Speaker 1: and he finds a cat. Now, of note, this is 1627 01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,599 Speaker 1: not the same cat we've been seeing the whole time. 1628 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,000 Speaker 1: This is like a dark cat. This is not an 1629 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,360 Speaker 1: orange tabby. But we are to assume I guess that 1630 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,599 Speaker 1: this cat is cat thing or has cat thing inside it, 1631 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,040 Speaker 1: because the child picks up cat thing is holding him, 1632 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 1: and then we get an ominous freeze frame and then 1633 01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: a zoom in on the child holding the cat. 1634 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,080 Speaker 3: Well, the cat was more mutated than anything Martin the 1635 01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,599 Speaker 3: biologist had ever seen, so clearly he could mutate its 1636 01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 3: coat too, So yeah, that's why it looks different. 1637 01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 1: Now, yeah, or it is a parasite it found a 1638 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,280 Speaker 1: new cat to occupy it. I don't know either. Interpretation 1639 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:04,280 Speaker 1: I guess is valid. 1640 01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,640 Speaker 3: But what was the deal with the alternate ending. Was 1641 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 3: there like a European cut. 1642 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a different twist ending. And remember in 1643 01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,120 Speaker 1: this version, we don't see gray and Clark at the 1644 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,760 Speaker 1: beginning of the film as a doctor. Instead we see 1645 01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,160 Speaker 1: him here at the end. We're at the marina there 1646 01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,559 Speaker 1: on the dock, and the child brings this suitcase to 1647 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 1: the father or assuming it's the father played by Graydon Clark, 1648 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, what's this suitcase. Let's open it up. 1649 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 1: Put it up. They put it up there on a table, 1650 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,000 Speaker 1: open it up, and then we get a jump scare 1651 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:40,680 Speaker 1: of cat thing, the puppet version, jumping out of the 1652 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 1: briefcase at us the audience, and we get this awesome 1653 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,839 Speaker 1: like snarl growl sound that it makes throughout the picture, 1654 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 1: and then freeze frame and then we cut to the 1655 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 1: credits with that horrible theme song playing over it. The 1656 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 1: theatrical version has just you know, the scary score from 1657 01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 1: the picture. International version gets that horrible uninvited theme music. 1658 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's uninvited. 1659 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 1: That is. Yes, it gives us a lot to think 1660 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:16,639 Speaker 1: about about about humanity's relationship with cats. No, it doesn't 1661 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: really give for anything to think about it. It is 1662 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:22,160 Speaker 1: a but it is an alarmingly good B movie. This one. 1663 01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 1: This one has a well deserved following among B movie 1664 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 1: and schlock fans. So if you like quote unquote bad movies, 1665 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 1: if you like cheesy movies, this one's worth picking up. 1666 01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,600 Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's again, it's got some fun performances 1667 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 1: in it. It's competently made. On the whole, It's very watchable. 1668 01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it ever has a dull moment. It's 1669 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:42,599 Speaker 1: just a lot of fun. 1670 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 3: I just remembered I think I rented this in the 1671 01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:50,559 Speaker 3: same batch where I rented Night Beast. Oh that that 1672 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 3: all comes together as like a really good, really really 1673 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:55,519 Speaker 3: good video drum hole for me. 1674 01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,679 Speaker 1: Yes, Night Beast is incredible.
