Speaker 3: as if you guys remember a few years ago. Now,

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: me and Jason did an episode about nineteen eighty two

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: and was it the greatest year for like NERD movies,

26
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four has essentially become that same year for horror.

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: We had Children of the Corn March nineteenth, nineteen eighty four.

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: This one I think Edges nineteen eighty four up because

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 3: it is so strange and it's like a sexy, erotic

36
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: horror fantasy red riding hood situation. Also, Jason, I know

Speaker 3: underground Dwellers aka Chud by Douglas Cheek.

39
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: And let me just say about Chud quickly. Let's talk

40
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: about Chud, A wonderful film about cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers

41
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: that are haunting the city. They live in the sewers.

42
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: They're devouring unhoused people as well as many others. A

45
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: They discover a cover up by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Course,

46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: but let me just say great actual acting performances by

47
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: John Hurd, Daniel Stern and Chris Curry and John Goodman,

48
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: really really strong dramatic acting in a wild horror movie.

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: An incredible practical affair and incredible practical effects, and really

50
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: one of the underrated classics in.

51
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: My eyes of the eighties. I continue, please continue about

52
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four.

53
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Terminator, Yeah, October twenty sixth, nineteen eighty four. Now,

54
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: I would say this is horror adjacent in my mind,

55
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: but I do believe sci fi to me that at

56
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: the time, yeah, I could see it being more in

57
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: that horror vean. Okay, Now, I do think that this

58
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: next one is a large reason that people think of

59
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: this and this is stuff. A Nightmare on Elm Street

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: November ninth, nineteen eighty four, Wes Craven classic, John Saxon,

61
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: my favor, Robert England, obviously Heathe Langenkamp, Nancy, one of

62
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: the legendary Final Girls. I do love this movie.

63
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: It's great.

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: I love this franchise. This is actually a very scary movie.

65
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: It's before Robert England's really like hamming it up, so

66
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: it's a little bit more spooky him later on. I

67
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: don't know how it was for you guys, but like,

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: so when I was a kid, I was in primary

69
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: school as we call it, so kind of like baby

70
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: school you're like eight or nine. There was a spate

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: of sleepovers where their parents allowed the kids to watch

72
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: Nightmare on Elm Street, and then they would have to

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: do assemblies at schools being like, do not let your

74
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: kids watch this because then all these like eight and

75
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: nine year old kids are running around London like have.

76
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: You heard of Freddy Krueger.

77
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna kill you in your sleep, and then nobody

78
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: was sleeping. So that was a very influential movie on

79
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: my childhood. And also I just I still love it.

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: One of the best and most imaginative slashes.

81
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was an influential one for me as well,

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: as I've spoken about on the show here. I was

83
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: given a membership to a local video rental place because

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: I was home alone a lot, so I watched a

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of horror movies that I shouldn't watch. Among them

86
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: was A Nightmare on Elm Street. And it was one

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: of the first movies where I can remember talking with

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: my friends about Easter eggs, Like when when at the

89
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: end when the roof of the car flips up and

90
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: it's Freddy's, Oh my god, sweater colors. I was like,

91
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: did you guys notice that it was like Freddy's sweater colors?

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: Like that was your like fuss Easter egg movie I.

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: Was getting used to. Truly a pioneering film and still

94
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: has the power to scare it. I mean the scene

95
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: in which I forget the name of the characters, but

96
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: the one friend of Nancy's is hurled like they're having

97
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: the sleepover, and she's hurled up onto the walls and

98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: across the ceiling and is like getting stabbed like through

99
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: the guts, like as her boyfriend watches is still terrified.

100
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: Also the scene where Johnny Depp's character gets sucked into

101
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: the bed and they spray all the blood up into

102
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: the ceiling also as well. I will say an underrated

103
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: moment in this movie, but I do think has become

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: like a very iconic scene is when Nancy sees her

105
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: dead friend and she's in the body bag in the

106
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: school hall way. I think about that a lot. But yeah,

107
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: from a very serious movie to a very un serious movie,

108
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: which I will say, if you live in LA or

109
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: another metropolitan area, or just somewhere with a great rep cinema,

110
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: you will probably be able to see this movie in

111
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 3: the next coming months at the cinema, and I highly

112
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: recommend it. It is Silent Night, Deadly Night, November ninth,

113
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. This is an absolutely deranged movie. And

114
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: in England, I have to say this definitely has a

115
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: bit more of like a exploitation, kind of not serious,

116
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: but it's definitely seen as more of like a It

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: was quite shocking when it came out, and it was

118
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: very controversial because it has a killer in a Santa suit.

119
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: But I will tell you if you go and watch

120
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: this movie in an American repfit. I went to see

121
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: it last year at the New BEV comboed with Black Christmas,

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: one of the best Christmas movies of all time.

123
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: Black Christmas is truly one of the great great horror movies.

124
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: Of Trailblazing slow and then that was first and everyone,

125
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: but then this movie.

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, this movie is whack.

127
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: Comes afterwards and it is like you're in riff tracks

128
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: when you're watching the movie in the cinema, and I

129
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: have to say ten out of ten would recommend was

130
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: absolutely just fantastic to watch with the crowd.

131
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I remember hearing about the controversy as a child and

132
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, like understanding that there had been this tremendous

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: controversy around this film, and then renting it as a

134
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: young person when I got my membership card and being

135
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: a little let down, like I thought it.

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: Was going to be it feels like a TV movie.

137
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I thought that the controversy, you know, not

138
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: really understanding the full controversy. But my perception of it

139
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: was this movie is so fucking violent that it's yeah,

140
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: we had to pull it. It's too much. And then

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: I saw it and it was like, Okay.

142
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: The actual reason it was one of those perception controversies. Yes,

143
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: the post that very famously has a guy in a

144
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: Santa suit with an axe arm and I's coming out

145
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: of the chimney and it's kind of like how even

146
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: now into any four, the new Damian Leone movie Terrifier

147
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: three came out where the art the clown is in

148
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: a Santa costume, and there was actually protests outside the cinemas,

149
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: I think in Kansas City, where they were like, we

150
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: say no to this satanic Santa. So I don't know,

151
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: somehow there's like a Christianity connection to Santa. I am

152
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: unsure how, but that was really what it was about.

153
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: I will say though, just honestly, great time watching this

154
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: movie in a cinema with a crowd or if you're

155
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: just interested in weird oddities. This is more of like

156
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: a made for TV drama about the nature of abuse

157
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: and like this weird Gray vite about trauma, and there

158
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: is like violence, there's guns, and but it's not really

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: a horror movie in a traditional sense.

160
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: Let's talk about these are surely the headliners.

161
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 3: Those are the headliners.

162
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: What are your favorite nineteen eighty four horror movies? Top three?

163
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: I would definitely say a Nightmare on Elm Street has

164
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: to be up there for me. Okay, you go, let's

165
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 3: do one for one. Okay, there's just so many good ones. Okay,

166
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: so mine's not right Elm Street. Yeah, I agree, Okay, Okay.

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: So then I would say I love Friday the Thirteenth

168
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: as a franchise, but that would not be one of

169
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: my favorites.

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: That was I mean, the Final Chapter is the movie

171
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: in which you can feel director Zito, amongst many other people,

172
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: really really trying not just to kill Jason, but to

173
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: kill this franchise. No one wanted to make this anymore.

174
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: And so the death of Jason at the end of

175
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: spoil the death of Jason at the end of this

176
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: movie feels very definitive and it's very funny that it's not.

177
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. And also as well, this is before

178
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: you just start getting into like the really good weird shit.

179
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

180
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: But you know, I will say about Friday thirteenth, the

181
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 3: Final Chapter, I do enjoy Corey Faubman's performance in this movie.

182
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: I do think it's very good.

183
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he becomes like the foil in the series,

184
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: which is very funny.

185
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: And then there's an interesting kind of who is Tommy

186
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: Jarvis how does that go on? But probably I would

187
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: say Gremlins, even though again I would say that is

188
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: more of a horror adjacent movie. But I really do

189
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: love that movie, and I watch you every year at Christmas,

190
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: so there's actually a big yif of Christmas horror with

191
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: Gremlins and Silent Night Deadly Night.

192
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: My second one, and this is very difficult. This really

193
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: is a great year. But my next two are what

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: I think of as the X Men influence in horror movies. Ooh,

195
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: and so my second pick is the underrated in my

196
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: eyes Dreamscape, Yes, from nineteen eighty four, starring Dennis Quaid,

197
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Max Foncido, Christopher Plummer, Kate Capshaw soon to be the

198
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: wife of Steven Spielberg, and it's about it's basically inception.

199
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know.

200
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: It's about a guy who has psychic powers, Alex Gardner

201
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: played by Dennis Quaid, who gets caught up in a

202
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: scheme to assassinate the president using dream inception. And it's

203
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: got some wonderful horror trope in there, and some nice

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: callbacks to some nightmares we see earlier in the film.

205
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: And it's a movie that I think people have forgotten about.

206
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: But I still love Dream Skip nineteen eighty four.

207
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: That's a good one. I would also say that I

208
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: just I'm going to do like a kind of broader

209
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: shout out to Like there is a lot of underrated

210
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: horror weird like Slashes that came out this year, The

211
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: Initiation that's a really good weird movie, Splatter University, and

212
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: blood Bath, blood Birth at the House of Death. And

213
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: I will say something that you said, Jason, as we're

214
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: getting ready to prepare this. So many of these movies

215
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 3: are available on cheubee. Guys, if you don't to if

216
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: you have a smart TV, go to chubee and you

217
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 3: can watch so many incredible movies that honestly have been

218
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: lost for a long time because of streaming. But if

219
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: I was gonna have to pick, and I would say,

220
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to go for properly. A movie

221
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: that I truly think is very underrated is a Company

222
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: of Wolves.

223
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

224
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I do just think it's like really great

225
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: and it was I watched that a lot when I

226
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: was a teenager, very formative for me.

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: Neil Jordan, Yeah, who's truly a quality filmmaker. His work

228
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: here is fantastic. It's got that dreamy, kind of gauzy,

229
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: too much vacoline on the lens.

230
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, drastically, Neil Jordan look definitely for me. Like I

231
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: grew up reading, I had this. I still have this book. Actually,

232
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 3: it's one of the few things I still have from

233
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: when I was a kid. I had this copy of

234
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: Grim's fairy Tales that was a hardcover that I got

235
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: at like a bookshop where my mum worked, and it

236
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 3: had all the real German Grimm's fairy Tales where like

237
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: Cinderella's stepsisters are like chopping off their heels to fit

238
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: it in the boot, and then they're making Cinderella's stepmom

239
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: dance to death in iron shoes and this kind of

240
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: the horrors of what the real moral fables were. And

241
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: I feel like Company of understood that and was like, Okay,

242
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: so what do we How do we make this into

243
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: like an actual horror movie, but that still has this

244
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: interesting coming of age growing into womanhood and how scary.

245
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 3: That is just a really cool movie.

246
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Okay. And then this, Gosh, I think it's up for

247
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: debate whether this is truly a horror movie, but I'm

248
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna pick it anyway. Firestarter, Yeah, I.

249
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: Was gonna say, if you're doing X Men, Yeah, so that's.

250
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: My X Men again. The X Men influence in horror movies.

251
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: Firestarter about a secret government program to create psychic telepathic warriors.

252
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: It goes sideways and two of the former Chess subjects

253
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: have a kid named Charlie. She is played by Drew Barrymore,

254
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: who is wonderful in this film, like truly like baby,

255
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: an incredible performance by a very very young actor. And

256
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: she has the ability not to just move things around

257
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: with her mind, but she has this exponentially dangerous ability

258
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: to start fires and the whole while there is this

259
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: secretive government program that's trying to control her, they call

260
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: the Shop. You get like a wonderful scene of a

261
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: confrontation between these government agents and Charlie, like in front

262
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: of a farmhouse that calls back to Magneto versus the

263
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: Cops and the first X Men movie. It's a great one.

264
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 3: And it's very like, you know, WEAPONEX yees, very WEAPONEX tybes.

265
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's part of why I really

266
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: love it. Incredible performances, most notably by David Keith as

267
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: Charlie's father, like tons of pathos from him. George C.

268
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: Scott as like this super warmonger, manipulative guy who gets

269
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Charlie to believe in him. It's really great, and they

270
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: remade it some years ago, I think twenty twenty two,

271
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: a film that's really not that good, but this is

272
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: really good.

273
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that movie has Zac Efron it. Yeah. I

274
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: would also like to say I don't know how recently

275
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: anybody watched Children of the Corn, but I did do

276
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: a rewatch of the entire franchise recently thanks to the

277
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: blessings of Antenna TV.

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

279
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: And I have to say that first Children of the

280
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: Corn movie completely wild. Absolutely, you would never believe it

281
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: if somebody told you what the movie was about. But

282
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: it does have Linda Hamilton in it, yes, and it

283
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: is actually like very enjoyable. Though I will say as

284
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: a kid, I always got it confused with the John

285
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 3: Carpenter remake of The Midwich Cuckoos that had Christopher Reeve

286
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: in it, and I have to say I am still

287
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: more of a Village of the Damned fan the Children

288
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: of the Corn. Yeah, but Linda Hamilton is really good

289
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: and I actually think the First Children of the Corn

290
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: is a good movie, and I do want i think

291
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: that one is another reason this gets edged up. But

292
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: we got to step out of the airlock and into

293
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: our debate about which year in the eighties was actually

294
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: the best for horror movies because there are just so many.

295
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: I don't I think this nineteen eighty four one. I

296
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: feel like it's a random pick because right now I'm like,

297
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: we can make the argument for.

298
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: More to your point, it feels overrated, specifically because of

299
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: mister Freddy Krueger.

300
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: Mister fred Old Krugel.

301
00:15:43,800 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: So let's go onto our debate right back after this. Okay, Rosie,

302
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: we've talked about nineteen eighty four. Now let's talk about

303
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: what our personal favorite year for horror in the eighties is.

304
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: Would you like to start who?

305
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: This is so complex and it's fun, it's fun. There

306
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: is I would just want to say, festival. What a

307
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: blessing to have the eighties, because the eighties is just

308
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: such an unreal decade for horror. Every year there is

309
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: at least one or two bangers, and I think sometimes

310
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: depending on the flavor of what you're feeling, you could argue,

311
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: for example, nineteen eighty two you had cat People very good,

312
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: but obviously that's not going to be that's not going

313
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: to be swinging anyone's vote.

314
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: The original Cat People actually scarier, Yeah, actually scary. Fifties

315
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: cat People actually scared.

316
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: But then Poltergeist and The Thing, which I think arguably

317
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: you could make an argument that that's the best year

318
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: in horror just for those two. But I am going

319
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: to propose nineteen eighty seven. Now, I will say this

320
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: is not this is not like a banner. You're not

321
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: gonna get that list like we just gave you for

322
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. But for me, I'm gonna start with

323
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: the horror adjacent release that for me, as a kid

324
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: growing up, I was obsessed with, which is Angel Heart

325
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: starring Mickey raw Oh my god. It's such a good movie.

326
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: It's like a neo noir in the eighties, and it's

327
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: a mystery and it's about a guy who's hunting someone down.

328
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: Don't look it up. Yeah, just go watch it.

329
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: If you have not seen Angel Heart, don't read anything

330
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: about it, and go watch it because the twists in

331
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: this film are fantastic.

332
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: Some of the best twists that you've ever Currently streaming

333
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: on Paramount Plus if you are that way subscribed. Okay,

334
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: that for me, I watched it a lot as a kid.

335
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: I loved it. I would tell people about it. It

336
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: felt like one of those movies i'd discovered. But the

337
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: two big ones here that I think as adults I

338
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: watch every year more than once. I will go and

339
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 3: see in the movie theater whenever they are on. Clive

340
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: Barker's Hell Raiser one of the best horror movies ever made,

341
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: and Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys, that's great, in my opinion,

342
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 3: one of the best vampire movies ever made. For me.

343
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 3: That is a fantastic mix of Hell Raiser is this

344
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: vibrantly gory, strange movie about a girl who lives with

345
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: her dad and her stepmom and she kind of discovers

346
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: that her uncle who shows up, Uncle Frank, had some

347
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: weird occult dealings with a magical puzzle box. That's a

348
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: very terrifying movie, unbelievable practical effects, the cenobites, Doug Bradley

349
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: as pin Head, who had gone to become this iconic

350
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 3: horror character. Very queer movie, very queer movie, very queer franchise,

351
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: and that's kind of the nature of Clive Barker's work.

352
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: I just love this movie. It's still really scary. There's

353
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: still people who don't want to watch it because it

354
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: kind of has this BDSM horror aesthetic that can be

355
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: very unsettling. It also was originally supposed to be a

356
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: horror movie with a woman in her mid forties and

357
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 3: the lead. The stepmom was originally going to be the lead,

358
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: which I think is really cool and I love that,

359
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: and they managed to keep her in there. But then

360
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: you have Lost Boys, which is queer in a totally

361
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: different way and just totally cool every time I go

362
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: and see Lost Boys. I went to see it recently

363
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: with Nick and my wonderful friend cartoonist be Like Unis,

364
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 3: and when we were there, I was just like, oh

365
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: my god, I want to be a cool vampire living

366
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: in Santa Cruz the fairground. I want to be young,

367
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: far fast. And also like, how can you not love

368
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: a movie where there's just a random saxophone solo. No

369
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: one knows why he's in it, sax guy, but he's

370
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: in there.

371
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: I lived in Santa Cruz for a while, and wow,

372
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: that vibe. The kind of beautif full picturesque beach town

373
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: with a dark side really feels like the real place.

374
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: You know. It's a very strange place. It's a place

375
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: where multiple serial killers were plying their deadly craft, specifically

376
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: during the seventies. Edmund Kemper was you know, killed his

377
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: mom killed a bunch of co Ed's was you know

378
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: like he lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and so

379
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: lost Boys feels it manages to capture that contrast between

380
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: beautiful beach lightness and weirdness and old hippies and something

381
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: dangerous going on in the woods.

382
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: Yeah. And also I will say as well, I know

383
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: this is both mine and your favorite nightmare and elm

384
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: Street movie. Dream Warriors incredible, fantastic movie, unbelievable, young costs,

385
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: some of the best deaths, very quippy, very.

386
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: Cool, very quippy cool, like, the effects are amazing. It's

387
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: got a fun song by the hair metal band docn

388
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: as the theme, you.

389
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: Don't want a Dream Noble. Also, Patricia Arquette, you have

390
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 3: some legends in this movie. Also this year also had

391
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: Evil Dead two, which I do believe many people believe

392
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: is the superior Evil Dead movie. Another one that is

393
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: streaming for free on Pluto TV right now. Obviously love

394
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: Sam Raimi. Also underrated. One that I love from this

395
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 3: year is John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, starring Donald Pleasance

396
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: and Victim Want. I really like this movie, but that

397
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 3: I am a John Carpenter superstan so I've seen every

398
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: John Carpenter movie. I will make the argument even for

399
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: you know, Ghosts of Mars, which is at least he

400
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: was still using some cool miniatures. Guys, come on, but

401
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: this one is like a science versus religion combo where

402
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 3: there's a mysterious green liquid and these academics arrive and

403
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 3: kind of decipher whether or not, like, will this be

404
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: able to bring Jesus back? Was Jesus an alien? Is Satan?

405
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: It's all this signiens religion, horror, really interesting, smorgas bored.

406
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: It's a spiritual follow up to the thing because it's

407
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: part of the Apocalypse trilogy that ends within the Mouth

408
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: of Madness. Now, the underrated John corp in a movie.

409
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: Super super weird fucking movie that I'm still not sure

410
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah exactly, but the vibes, but the vibes

411
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: are incredible. I actually rewatched it recently and still don't

412
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: know what's happening. But very very crazy movie in the

413
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: Mouth of Madness.

414
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, also horror adjacent in eighty seven Monster Squad.

415
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: Oh, I love Monster Squad.

416
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: I have to say I actually was not lucky enough

417
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: to discover this as a kid, because I would have

418
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: loved it so good. But I watch it every year

419
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: as an adult. It's on Pluto, it's free, it's so charming,

420
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: it's so fun.

421
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: Here's Monster Squad ready. Did you like the Goonies a

422
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: gang of kids who go and do an adventure? This

423
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: is like the Goonies, a gang of kids that band

424
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: together to do an adventure, but they do an adventure

425
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: teamed up with Frankenstein, Wolfman and like vampires and stuff.

426
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: Exactly very cool fun. Also, Blood Dina came out this year,

427
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 3: which was directed by Jackie Kong, so it's like a

428
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: rare female horror movie in this era. I think this

429
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: is an underrated year. And also there's like sequels Galow

430
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: Return to Salem's Law. There's also some really weird movies

431
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: that I've only discovered from watching Antenna TV. Here, like Dolls,

432
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: where our family has to just stay in this house

433
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: and it's just full of creepy dolls.

434
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: Rosie. I think this was gonna be my pick as well.

435
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: And I think he's but it's okay because there's plenty

436
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: other years to pick from. Great, And I will say

437
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: I think we've missed out on what I think for me,

438
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: for my money, best horror movie of the entire eighties,

439
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven's Near Dark. Oh my god, what ifaring

440
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: the entire cast of aliens in a film by Catherine Bigelow,

441
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: the hurt Locker, Blue Steel, Zero Dark, thirty incredible director.

442
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Near Dark is basically neo western about this gang of

443
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: vampires that rides around in our love this movie, cutting

444
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: people's throats and drinking them. It's an incredible film.

445
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Also, I feel like people maybe don't take this

446
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 3: question seriously if this is not the answer, because if

447
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: you're even looking at those like horror adjacent Predator came

448
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: out this year. Yep, also a movie. I will say, Look,

449
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna recommend that you go and watch this

450
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 3: movie because it has aged very badly. It's very fucked up.

451
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: Lots of language, et cetera that we would not use nowadays.

452
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: But when I first saw it on a VHS in

453
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 3: like a squat many moons ago. There's a movie called

454
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: Street Trash and it came out this year. It is

455
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: on Cheuwby right now. I will say it was what

456
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 3: was known as a melt movie, and the idea was

457
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: it was gonna be this like new version of Troma,

458
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: and basically everyone the effects is like every time somebody

459
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 3: drinks this kind of a cherry wine that they just

460
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: melt and the effects are very cool. The movie itself

461
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 3: very corny, badly age movie, but I will say I

462
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: did just learn that somebody just remade this, and I

463
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: believe it's gonna be on Chewby. Also very important movie

464
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: here historically because Peter Jackson's Bad Taste came out in

465
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty seven, and obviously that was like kind of

466
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: one of his breakthrough If you've seen Lord of the

467
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: Rings and you're like, what was this man doing before

468
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings, go and watch Bad Taste, because

469
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 3: this man was a splatter gore fiend. He really was,

470
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: and he was making some praise stuff. Also both Slumberpaty

471
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: Massa two and Silent Night Deadly Night Part two. So

472
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: I just think like eighty seven is a great year

473
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: when it comes to the explosion of horror and also thrillers. Why, oh,

474
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: you know what we should mention before we move on sure,

475
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 3: Wicked City the anime, because that is very seminar horror

476
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: anime came out in eighty seven. But yeah, I think

477
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: this is such a good year.

478
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree with you, But now, for the sake

479
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: of argument, I'm going to pick my other favorite eighties

480
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: year for horror and going with nineteen eighty five. Oh,

481
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: I think top line maybe not as strong as eighty seven,

482
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: but still some incredible bangers that I think are very underrated.

483
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: Let's start with a continuation of a classic series, George

484
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: Romeiro's Day of the Dead. Oh, following up Dawn, Yeah,

485
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: which listen, Dawn not just the best, in my opinion

486
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: of the George Romero zombie movies, but actually a great film.

487
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: Opening twenty minutes of Dawn of the Dead is as

488
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: good as anything that you can think of.

489
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 3: Great anti capitalist movie.

490
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Day of the Dead also very good. So

491
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: we've got Day of the Dead, and here's my If

492
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: it's not the best horror movie of eighty five, I

493
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: think it's my favorite. Fright Night.

494
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: Fright Night. This is a joyous watch.

495
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: A joyous movie that's kind of self referential, understands the

496
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: horror genre. You've got this young teenage kid who is

497
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: a big fan of horror, specifically of this like late

498
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: night horror TV program that's hosted by this guy who's

499
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: like a washed up old hammer television star named Peter Vincent.

500
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: And over time, Charlie begins to suspect that his neighbor.

501
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: His cool hot neighbor, his cool.

502
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: Hot neighbor, is up to something weird. Turns out, guess what,

503
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: his neighbor is a vampire, and you get this big

504
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: showdown between Charlie with the help of Peter and his

505
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: girlfriend trying to save his girlfriend really from the clutches

506
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: of this vampire, trying to take this vampire down. It's

507
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic movie with some wonderful horror tropes. It's referential

508
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: in the way that Scream would be referential in the nineties,

509
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: and it's just really fun. They did remake it with

510
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: Colin Ferrell. I think Anton Yakovic, Anton Yaalkin, it's pretty good,

511
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: pretty fun, it's pretty good.

512
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 3: You could do a little double bell. Yeah, you know, Jason,

513
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: I think you picked a very strong year here. This

514
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: is another year kind of like eighty seven, where there

515
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: are some big headliners reanime legendary movie that I think

516
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: is still just being rediscovered. I'm always seeing kids sharing

517
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 3: stuff on ticked. You know. It's kind of barely based

518
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: on an HP Lovecraft Boo story, but it does something

519
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 3: so much. It's directed by Stuart Gordon, who was, you know,

520
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 3: a B movie master, and stars Jeffrey Combs, who you

521
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: have probably seen in a million other horror movies simply

522
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: because he was in this movie. Yeah.

523
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: Basically a retelling of the Doctor Frankenstein's monster kind of

524
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: myth in which this mad scientist starts putting together dead

525
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: bodies and reanimating them. Another film that is highly referential

526
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: and understands like the genre it is in and is

527
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: a super super weird movie. Here's a film you mentioned, Barker.

528
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm a big listen. I love the Pinhead stuff, but

529
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: I think some of his non pin Head stuff is

530
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: also amazing. Let's talk about Underground. Oh, I'm Markers Underground

531
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five, in which there's a hidden and

532
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: mysterious group of sub human mind anster species created by

533
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: a mad scientist. They're living under London.

534
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

535
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: Great, very very fun.

536
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: Early Clive Barker also known as Transmutations and Underworld. There

537
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: are many different names for this, but yes, I love

538
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: this one definitely one of those first ones that I

539
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: kind of saw and didn't know what it was. Also

540
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: just want to bring up I will talk about this

541
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: more extensively on other episodes this holiday season. This is

542
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: when Returned to Oz came out. One of the scariest

543
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: movies I ever saw as a kid, a Disney sequel

544
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: to Wizard of Oz that stars Freeze a Bulk and

545
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: starts with Dorothy getting electric shock treatment before she goes

546
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: to Oz and discovers that everyone's been turned to stone

547
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: and there's a new evil queen who chops off people's

548
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: heads and wears them. This is like a masterful kid's

549
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: horror movie, and I still love it so deeply, and

550
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: it was impossible to find anywhere other than very expensive

551
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: DVDs for a long time, but now you can watch

552
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: it on Disney Plus.

553
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Next up, nineteen eighty five's Thus Duff by Larry Cohen.

554
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: This is a film that is like environmental and regulatory

555
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: horror was kind of big in the eighties. Chud talked

556
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: about like the misdoings of the you know national They

557
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: dealt with all the nuclear stuff. Nuclear Regulatory Commission excuse me.

558
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Chud is basically like a failure of oversight of food. Basically,

559
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: this is so creepy, it's so crazy. This company creates

560
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: this extremely sweet yogurt ice cream kind of substance which

561
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: people eat and then become crazy addicted to, and it

562
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: has all sorts of insane effects. Wonderful performances by Michael

563
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: Moriarty and Garrett Morris who and Paul Cervino. Garrett Moose

564
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: apparently hated dealing with Larry Cohne, but he's wonderful in

565
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: this film. Super super underrated movie that people don't talk about.

566
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: It is just a fantastic, weird kind of satirical but

567
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: also very scared film with notes of body horror. The

568
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: stuff check it out, extremely viby, very vibey. And also

569
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: I am.

570
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: Always surprised when I realized this movie came out in

571
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: the eighties, because it's got like a seventies vibe to it.

572
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: It's just it's very strange. I'm gonna go for like

573
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: another incredible kid's horror here that was like really important

574
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: to me, which is like more of a fantasy, but

575
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 3: I think it is horror a jacent which is legend.

576
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Oh my God Legend.

577
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: Came out this year with Tim Curry in one of

578
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: the scariest practical effects of all time, wearing this giant

579
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: devil costume with these huge horns.

580
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: Truly awesome fantasy film.

581
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: Just fantastic movie. Ye, Ridley Scott, what were you thinking?

582
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm glad because I love this movie.

583
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: Tom Cruise, such a delightful and important movie in my

584
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: life and also with some really scary moments. So this

585
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: is such a good year. There's just so many.

586
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: There's so many. Next up for me, here's a film

587
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: that blends sci fi and horror, nineteen eighty five's Life

588
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: Force by Toby Hooper. I love that is one that

589
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: again is a film that I think people don't talk about.

590
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: Screenplay by Dan O'Bannon, who gave us Alien, who gave

591
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: us so many other horror films, And it's basically what

592
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: if aliens or vampires?

593
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: And it's from this really fun era of post alien

594
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: movies where everyone wanted to do aliens. So it's like

595
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 3: these walking cloths. Yeah, people, and they're like, well if

596
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: aliens were vampires?

597
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: Young Patrick Stewart.

598
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: Oh baby, yeah, this is that's a good one.

599
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: And then this is a movie that I it's not

600
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: technically good, but I really liked it as a kid.

601
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: And that is the adaptation of yet another Stephen King novella,

602
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Stephen King was ruling the eighties, not just you know,

603
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: on the bookshelf, but also on the screen. And this

604
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: is Silver Bullet.

605
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I love I actually love this one. I have

606
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: this on DVD.

607
00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: This is a wonderful film about a small town dealing

608
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: with a werewolf that is killing off various citizenry and

609
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: how a young disabled man takes on this werewolf with

610
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: a wonderful performance by Corey ham Excuse me as that

611
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: young man and Corey ham is. I think people who

612
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: know about Corey Hame they think of the Lost Boys

613
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: and Lucas, then they think of the troubles he had

614
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: later on in his life. But he was a fantastically

615
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: talented actor able to really conjure some like deep emotion.

616
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: And that's true in Silver Bullet, which is a very

617
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: low budget film with some great scares and the chemistry

618
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: between Corey and Gary Busey as his kind of like scamp,

619
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: hard drinking uncle who's lets him have toys that he

620
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't have.

621
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: I mean who doesn't love to watch Gary Busey in

622
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 3: a B movie. Yeah, he's always living it up.

623
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: And then lastly, again it's not my favorite of the Freddy's,

624
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: but oh, Nightmare and Elm Street two legendary is an

625
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: important film for the evolution of Freddy because it's really

626
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: the point in time in which my senses, Robert England

627
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: didn't think he'd be doing these continuously.

628
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: Remember this man was a thespian beforehand. After Nightmare on

629
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: Elm Street one, I once chatted to Robert England at

630
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: an event and I interviewed him about nightmaron Elm Street.

631
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: And after the first movie, he was reviled in the country.

632
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: He was hated in the USA. People felt like he

633
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: was corrupting children, he was not having a good time.

634
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 3: So I think you were onto something.

635
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: So when he was asked back for the sequel to

636
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: Nightmare and Elk Street, which became a Nightmare on Elk

637
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: Street two, Freddie's Revenge Man, Robert England is putting a

638
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: lot of spice on these Freddy Yes.

639
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 3: And also this is a very It was a very

640
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: controversial movie directed by Shoulder and it stars Mark Patten,

641
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: who in the very fantastic. I cannot recommend it enough.

642
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: Documentary Scream Queen talks about his struggle as a closeted

643
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: gay kid being cast in this movie that is extremely

644
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 3: queer and extremely queer coded. I mean there's literally a

645
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 3: scene where the kid who is possessed by Freddie goes

646
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: to the BDSM club where his teacher is and there's

647
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: like somebody's getting killed by being like butt whipped with

648
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: like a towel in a shower scene, like it's very gay,

649
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 3: and he was constantly being told no, it's not gay,

650
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: don't worry about it, and then the movie came out

651
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 3: and it was like he was really gas lit. It

652
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: has since become like a true queer classic.

653
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: It's truly a queer classic, and now.

654
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: Mark Patten feels more comfortable to accept it. But yeah,

655
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 3: watch Scream Queen. It's such a good documentary about this

656
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: movie and the strange trajectory that it took and the

657
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: way it impacted the characters and the actors within it.

658
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 3: I will also say something I think is really cool

659
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: about this year that I kind of hadn't really realized

660
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: till we were talking about it. This is an interesting

661
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 3: year where there's a lot of horror, and there's a

662
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 3: lot of horror that is directed to a more family

663
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 3: audience because of the success of stuff like Night ron

664
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: elm Street, Black Cauldron Good. That's a great one of

665
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: the most terrifying Disney movies of all time. I love

666
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 3: that movie. It's probably my favorite Disney movie. Really terrifying stuff.

667
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: And you have a lot more horror comedies. You have

668
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 3: things like Ghoulies, you have Legend returned to us, re Animator, reanime.

669
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: You have these movies where they're like, oh, horror is

670
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 3: actually this can make money for us on a very

671
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: low budget. So I think so far we've picked two

672
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: very powerful years.

673
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: Here's my last movie, go for it. Last movie to

674
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: mention from nineteen eighty five before we move on and

675
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: pick our very favorite horror movies of the eighties. I

676
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: did not appreciate this film until recently, but you have

677
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: to mention nineteen eighty five's Vampire Hunter.

678
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 3: D Oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes, thank you for

679
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: bringing that one.

680
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: Our classic anime of a involving were wolf hunter and vampires,

681
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: and it is just you want to talk about.

682
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 3: Viby, Oh my god, it's and it's like one of

683
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 3: the most seminal anime of all time.

684
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: Unreal viby. So that is my pick, love that, that

685
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: is your pick. Nineteen eighty seven for you, nineteen eighty

686
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: five for me. I think there's honestly can't go wrong

687
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: with either year.

688
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 3: You've even sold me on eighty five. I'm like, I

689
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: think these are equal, because that is a great year.

690

00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: a pair of sisters, one of whom works in the cinema,

713
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 3: which I thought was the coolest job you could ever have.

714
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 3: And one night she's staying overnight hanging out at the

715
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: cinema with her boyfriend who's the projectist, waiting to lender

716
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 3: real to someone, and she misses meeteor shower or the

717
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: arrival of a comet that basically turns everyone into kind

718
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 3: of raving zombies. And then her and her sister, who

719
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: also missed it because she was, you know, doing some

720
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: kind of Valley Girl esque thing, have to team up

721
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 3: to survive this apocalypse with Robert Beltran from Star Trek,

722
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: and they have to kind of team up to survive,

723
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: not only the first half of the movie, which is

724
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: more of your general zombie apocalypse s kind of sci

725
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 3: fi movie, but then the very interesting and I would

726
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: say slightly slower, but I still love this movie second

727
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: half where they kind of have to survive the government. Yeah,

728
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 3: and What America. It's kind of like a mashup of

729
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: the tropes from the whole Night of the Living Dead series,

730
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 3: And I just love this movie. I watch it all

731
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: the time. Very underrated, So I'm going to go for

732

Speaker 3: underrated faves and B movies that you can stream now.

733
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 3: And I just watched this the other day. So this

Speaker 3: what about you, Jason?

737
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm going to do my top five

738
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: horror movies of the eighties that I haven't mentioned yet,

739
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: because my favorites are honestly movies we've before. You talked

740
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: about The Lost Boys, Nightmare, Elm Street, Dream Warriors, Fright Night.

741
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: But let's start with the ones that I haven't talked

742
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: about yet. And first up, so I watch I have

743
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: seen a lot of horror movies. I don't get scared.

744
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: I watched, as I told Rosy and Aaron before we

745
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: started the bike, I watched Hereditary at one am and

746
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: went right to sleep. It didn't bother me at all.

747
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: Like I can watch any horror movie now and it

748
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 1: doesn't scare me. But the one movie that really bothered

749
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: me and continues to really creep me out is Henry

750
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: Portrait of a serial Killer from nineteen eighty six Legendary.

751
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: Here's how shaken I am by this film. I honestly

752
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: struggle to recommend it. It is harrowing. It's ostensibly a

753
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: dramatization of the serial killing career of Henry Lee Lucas,

754
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: who was an active serial killer who I think, who

755
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: clearly inflated his crimes, yes yes, and told a lot

756
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: of lies about the things he did, but also clearly

757
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: did murder people. And so that gives this film an

758
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: ominous tone. And there are some scenes in this film

759
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: that I that I would not watch this movie again.

760
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: Put it that way. Yeah, the performances are extremely strong.

761
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: There is a scene, there are several murder scenes, but

762
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: there's one of a home invasion that is really scary,

763
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: and so that is I think the scariest film that

764
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen nineteen eighty six is Henry Portrait of

765
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: a serial.

766
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 3: Killer, only eighty three minutes long and streaming on pretty

767
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 3: much every free to B Peacock, Pluto. It is really terrifying. Though,

768
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: this is not one to watch with your kid now.

769
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: This is a truth. It has been a very interesting

770
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: precursor to kind of the obsession with true crime that

771
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 3: we have now. Yes, and these kind of celebrity you know, Dharma,

772
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 3: et cetera. But it's way more unsettling and subtle and creepy.

773
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: That's a great pick.

774
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: It really is like a watch it with the lights

775
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: on and again, very unsettling.

776
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: Your next pick, I'm going to go for something really

777
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 3: fun and light after that, which is Little Shop of Horrors.

778
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: Oh great.

779
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 3: This is one of my all time favorite movies.

780
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: See Moore, miss Seymour.

781
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: I love it. The original is great. I used to

782
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 3: have the original on VHS, but this remake is so fantastic.

783
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 3: I adore it. It is Rick moranis in the lead.

784
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: It is a fantastic musical. It has an unbelievable amount

785
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 3: of star power. The songs are brilliant, the deaths are great.

786
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 3: You are essentially cheering for a serial killer who is

787
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: feeding people to a alien plant. And I think it's

788
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: a perfect spooky season watch. And I think it's so

789
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 3: beautifully made. I think we need more movies like this

790
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: now and A Yeah, I think this is definitely one

791
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 3: of the best movies of the AES.

792
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: My next one is creepy. It is scary, it is

793
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: wonderful practical effects, it is mysterious, it's kind of sexy.

794
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: It is nineteen eighty one's The Howling. Oh great choice,

795
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: directed by Joe Dante, who had gone to do much

796
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: lighter stuff, but also I believe he did Gremlins right.

797
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: And it involves a television journalist from la who goes

798
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: up to the Pacific Northwest to follow up on an

799
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: investigation that had kind of touched her career. That is,

800
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: the investigation into this serial killer named Eddie Quist who

801
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: had attacked her in the course of her trying to

802
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: like uncover his crimes to learn more about him. She

803
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: goes up to this weird kind of hippie retreat up

804
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: into the Pacific Northwest and finds a colony of were wolves.

805
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: I think the thing that stands out to me about

806
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: this movie is the melancholy ending. It has a very

807
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: sad ending, which is kind of unheard of I think

808
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: for American movies, even horror movies of the time. Definitely,

809
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: and a wonderful performance by Dee Wallace. Great movie, The Howling.

810
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 3: Love that really good pick. I'm gonna go for another

811
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 3: John Carpenter movie. As I said, I do love him.

812
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: This is controversially one maybe my favorite John Carpenter movie.

813
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 3: I don't know. The vibes are just so good. The

814
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 3: Fog Ooh from nineteen eighty co written by John Carpenter

815
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: and Deborah Hill, the legendary producer, also stars AJM Bobo,

816
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: Jamie Lee, Curs, Tom Atkins, Janet Lee. It's such a

817
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 3: great movie and it's basically about a radio DJ in NorCal.

818
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 3: I'm still trying to work out how I can become

819
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 3: a late night radio DJ.

820
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 4: And you're listening to Rosie Knight at night. The cold

821
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 4: fogs are rolling in, but I'm here to keep you

822
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 4: warm with these lounge jazz classics.

823
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 3: And Adrian Barbo plays the radio DJ and she's in

824
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: a small narcout town. They're about to celebrate their centennial year.

825
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 3: But when a weird glowing fog appears, people start to

826
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: get murdered, and you eventually learn that these kind of

827
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: ghostly pirates are coming out of the fog and killing people.

828
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 3: It's so weird, it's so good, so many great practical effects,

829
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: extremely vibe next up.

830
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: Didn't mention it in my rundown out of eighty five,

831
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: so I have to mention it here. I'm not a

832
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: fan of anthologies. Usually I find anthology movies to be

833
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: usually uneven at best and very boring at worst. But

834
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: there are two great horror anthologies of the eighties, and

835
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about one of them right now.

836
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: Katsi from nineteen eighty five.

837
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: Great pick, what a deep cut.

838
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: I love Katsai. This is all based on Stephen King's stuff. Again,

839
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: Stephen king adaptations were ruling the eighties. There's a through

840
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: line here of this cat that is roaming through all

841
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: the stories and appears in all the stories, and every

842
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: story is in its own way notable and awesome. You

843
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: have Quitters Incorporated, in which a man hires a company

844
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: to quit smoking and the company turns out to be best.

845
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: Not spoil it, but it's great. You have the Ledge,

846
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: which is just like a psycho thriller about a insane

847
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: physical trial that this person has to go through and

848
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: then the general which ties it all together with the

849
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: cat versus this mystical goblin creature. Drew Barrymore again with

850
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: another wonderful performance. James Woods, who has since gone insane

851
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: but is wonderful in this film, appears Katsig in nineteen

852
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: eighty five. It's great.

853
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 3: Okay, now, guys, I will warn you if you've been

854
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 3: watching the rest of my picks, you might be like, yeah,

855
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 3: these are my little cozy b movie hardpicks. My next

856
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 3: one is not I have to bring up because we

857
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: haven't talked about it, and I do think it is

858
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 3: a very important movie from this decade, and that is Possession.

859
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 3: This is a wild movie. I love this movie, deeply

860
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 3: important movie to me. It stars Samuel who You also

861
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 3: are like, wow, that guy's never in weird movies. No,

862
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 3: this is a very strange movie. He is an international

863
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: spy who returns to Berlin where his wife played by

864
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: Isabelle Ajohnny, one of my favorite actresses. Yeah, this is Pikajanni.

865
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: She is asking for a divorce and throughout the movie

866
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 3: there becomes this strange push and pull between them about

867
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: why she wants to leave, and it becomes this kind

868
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: of psychosis of romance and betrayal and a strange tent

869
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 3: called Preachers. It is an incredibly unsettling movie. It's an

870
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 3: incredibly fucking cool movie, and also right now it is

871
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: maybe the most influential horror movie on twenty twenty four

872
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 3: because movies like The First Omen and Immacula, there are sequences,

873
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 3: especially in the First Omen, that are directly taken from

874
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: this very famous scene with Isabella Johnny in a tunnel

875
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 3: during Possession. So if you want to see something weird,

876
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 3: if you're like you guys aren't recommending scary stuff, Henry

877
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: of Portrait, Henry Portrait of a serial Killer and Possession

878
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 3: would be like a absolutely day ruining double bill. So

879
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 3: if you want that kind of thing, we can deliver

880
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 3: that too.

881
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: My next up is nineteen eighty three's classic from David Cronenberg, Videodrome.

882
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 3: Oh oh my god, what a pick.

883
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: If you're familiar with Cronenberg and his body horror stylings,

884
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: this is a film. This is a film that you

885
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: might be familiar with because of the many, many scenes

886
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: which have later become memes. Yeah, and gifts that appear

887
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: on social media, that appeared on The Daily Show, that

888
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: appeared in various other forums. Guys heads exploding things coming

889
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: out of their guts. And it's basically what if TV

890
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: was bringing stuff from another dimension to inside of you.

891
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Another wonderful, brilliant performances by James Woods Debbie

892
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: Harry in an acting term.

893
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 3: She's so a.

894
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:21,720
Speaker 1: Gross, thought provoking horror classic by David Cronenberg video drum.

895
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 3: Oh man, what a great pick. I've already got what

896
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: more space? Oh my gosh, guys, this is so hard.

897
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 3: I could literally just talk about this all day. I

898
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: am going to go for Oh my god. Okay, okay,

899
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for one. I have to include this

900
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 3: because it is like a very big part of my personality.

901
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 3: So even though there are many seminal movies we have

902
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 3: not touched on yet, movies like The Thing or The Hitcher,

903
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 3: go and watch that. It's so fucking scary. It's so scary.

904
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick in the line of my movies and

905
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 3: I haven't talked about yet. There are b movies that

906
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 3: you can stream now. Nineteen eighty eight. A. Yeah, we

907
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 3: didn't talk about but another great explosion year for horror

908
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 3: Killer Clowns from out of Space.

909
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: Oh, Killer Clowns Around.

910
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 3: I love this movie.

911
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: Another movie filmed in Santa Cruz, The Santa.

912
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: Deeply important movie for me. I love this movie as

913
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 3: a kid, made by the Chiodo brothers. I actually have

914
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 3: a Killer Clown's fan comic that I made with my

915
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 3: brilliantly talented artist friend Daniel Rude Massa that I basically

916
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 3: am always carrying around in my back pocket, like hege,

917
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 3: you want to make a Kill a Clown's graphic novel?

918
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 3: I love this movie. It's so much fun, and it's

919
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 3: basically about aliens who come from space to Earth and

920
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 3: they their ships look like giant circuses, and they look

921
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 3: like scary clowns, and they have these fantastic practical suits

922
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 3: in case people in cotton candy. I just love this movie.

923
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 3: It's so silly, it's so weird, and I think it

924
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 3: has stood the test of time as like an incredibly

925
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 3: inventive B movie. And they recently made a Killer Clowns

926
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 3: from out Space video game that was very well received.

927
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: I am just generally a big fan of Killer Clowns,

928
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 3: so I had to include that one in my list.

929
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 3: That's a totally fun movie. If you haven't seen it, guys,

930
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 3: go watch it now.

931
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: Here's my last one. All your B movie vibes, all

932
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: your pulp comic book vibes, all your horror comic vibes.

933
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: This is the other great horror anthology of the eighties,

934
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,479
Speaker 1: again adapting Stephen King's works. It is nineteen eighty two's

935
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: creep Show.

936
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it.

937
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: It is funny, it is gross, it is pulpy. There's

938
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: your comic book stuff in there. Each wonderful vignette has

939
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: a great moral like, yeah, very like a moral message.

940
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: It is a very moral movie.

941
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 3: Also directed by George A. Ramera, written by Stephen King,

942
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 3: like what can you do? And it's like very easy homage.

943
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: Yes, very easy. Stephen King appears in it in what

944
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: I actually think is a quite surprise risingly good performance

945
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: acting wise from Stephen King's very over the top, but

946
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: I think it works. Nineteen eighty twos creep Show, yea,

947
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: and that is the eighties for horror. I feel like

948
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: you could just keep doing.

949
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 3: This because this could be its whole own sub show

950
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 3: for shoal. But this was so good. I'm very excited

951
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 3: to hopefully do more of these debates about best horror

952
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: in the decades, because this is really fun.
