I can't rain all the time. Hey, it's Michael. I love you. I know.
I can go slow ahead. Come on down and jump some of this shit. Don't do some scary movie. I don't know.
How was this? This is for Brody. What the hell? Damn, we saw how we kicked it down.
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. It's your dad.
Well, I'm glad you're not. Hi everyone and welcome to the Nelly of North Podcast. It's a nerdy podcast and it's hosted by Northern Nerves. I am, Poni Hossam.
And I am. The other one. I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
I am. The other horse Paul. I have returned after you had banished me last week. You've asked yourself.
Well, joining us for this. Let's talk Horror Channel Horse. For the end of the podcast. Beep.
I love that. It's like, wait. It's the first time I've ever been like done a live YouTube thing. wasn't it?
Yes, I had core version. We had to end it because I was like, I can't do this. No, no, no, yes. It wasn't because the movie was so shit.
No, not that time. So yes, PP is a friend of the podcast. He graciously had me on his episode where we talked about the Blair Witch, which was an amazing experience. Makes it one of the most nervous things I've ever done, which is weird because I've been doing this for a while.
And just before we introduce PP to tell us a little bit about himself as well. This, well, not today. Can I give us a dear. A today is our three year anniversary of doing the Nearly Up North Podcast.
So yes, this round of applause. The first episode which played, please do not go and watch it is a terrible episode. It is not fun. But yeah, we've been doing this shit for three years now.
And it's still fun, still, still, like me and Sammy still love each other, kind of. You've been pulling out, yeah. And just an ear as well. I thought I'd do this.
Get the moonshine out. All moonshine fans. Yes. So get the moonshine.
Yeah. Gonna be absolutely fucked. Oh, it's wrong. He's not a drinker either.
That's a funny feeling. No, no, no, we're doing yet. No, no, it's a little bit of an in jokes. I love this TV show of moonshine and try and get into the public class, which we can.
So I can't look at it. Oh, that was fun. Nice. Oh, yeah.
Sorry. You have to be there. Oh, there's the sponsor. There's the sponsor.
I guess sponsor that. We'll try to get I am brew. That's what we're going for. I am brew.
Oh, that'd be the one with it. But yes, so BP. And again, I'm going to do a live apology as well, because after I did your podcast, I was so excited that I wanted to talk about our episode on the Sunday. I changed your name.
I called you a BG and it's not a BG and I just want to talk worse. But everyone likes a BG. So, yeah, you can look at it like that. But yes, so BP, if you could please give us your little bit of your nerdy credentials as well.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your channel as well. Oh, blind me. This is the art part in it. Yes.
So I run the Let's Call it Channel. It is just a pure content sort of channel. It's all horror related. Everything is all to do with horror movies.
It's pretty much as simple as that. We've got all the socials, all that sort of stuff, obviously just fucking after all the time now. So you can have a social team, especially if you're all dying, it's difficult. But the main sort of focus and the main thing of the channel is that we have the audio podcast and the video podcast.
So the audio podcast comes every single month. We talk about something in the world horror. It's the latest one. It's all about sort of first saw movie.
The one that you were on, like you said, we talked about the player witch project was a great episode. Like I really love talking to you about that movie. And two things that those sort of both those films have in common is something that appears like constantly. Basically, there's a word that I use on my show every single time.
I need to get it tattooed like Jared Leto on my head or something. It's iconography. That's my name. It's the word that I use to define horror and my love for horror because I I'm in awe of the iconography of horror.
And that's one of the reasons why I started the podcast. So yes, every month you have the audio podcast and then every month as well. So that comes out on the first every month and in the 15th of every month, we have the Welcome to the Creepzone video podcast series, which is about something different than the audio podcast. But that one's good because I have no idea what I'm going to say.
It's just about something to do with horror as well. But yeah, it's just a pure horror driven content channel that is just all about love, all about passion, all about honesty, about my favorite and the most important genre as well as I'm concerned cinema. If any of that makes sense. I'm having my question on stuff.
That's right. So did you have a background in movies or TVs? I was just a pure love that because I know we had a little bit of a conversation the last time was for because it was during lockdown that you started this book. Did you have a background in anything to do with the industry or?
So what so ever since I was a kid, the only thing that I've ever wanted to do was acting filmmaking. It's the only thing I ever wanted to do. And then and then also that's what also spawned both of it was like because of horror, you know, like I loved horror and it made me want to be an actual filmmaker and they both sort both fueled the file of five for each other. But that was when I was a kid and then you know life happens and then you know life gets fucked up and then as I got older, I fucked up my own life.
I didn't do anything that I shouldn't in a really bad way. And then as I got older, I realized and I thought when coming back to this idea, this dream of what I wanted to do. So I ended up making a short film. It did really well.
Like I got to the see it on a big screen in London. And it was, you know, I'm proud of it. I think it's shit, but I'm proud of it. But anybody like me who's got impostor syndrome and all that sort of shit, I think everything I do shit anyway.
So yes, I did this short film and it really reminded me of like, okay, well, it was like almost like me going, okay, so this is what I should be doing. And then my daughter was born, so that stopped everything. So my background has always been acting and filmmaking. But like you said, I during lockdown, even though it feels like 100 years ago now, which is like, yeah, three, four years, I like most of the world went absolutely fucking mental.
My mental health was about as bad as it possibly could be. And I couldn't, you know, because we were like prisoners in our own homes, we couldn't then start planning stuff. And I was trying to plan my next movie as my daughter was getting a bit older and I thought, okay, we're now gonna start planning this and planning that and trying to film this. But you couldn't because there was nothing we could do.
So I decided and a friend of mine was speaking about it. And I was just like, I just don't know what to do. And he was just like, why don't you just try and start a podcast? And because that way, like, podcasting to me is like therapy, you know, and I really, truly enjoy like what we're doing now, the conversational piece of it all.
I had all the editing and shit like that. And the promoting and stuff. But actually sitting here recording, having a conversation like a film like Creams Show and talking about why it's so important to us and all that sort of stuff. That's why I started it.
And yeah, and it's really important to me doing this podcasting. But yeah, so I never had a background per se in podcasting or anything. But it was, it's sort of, I'll probably save my life in a way. Yeah.
I think a lot of people and that's where we started like the Nerdio North community and like other things have branched on from it. But I totally get what you're saying. One thing I wanted to touch on with yourself as well. And because I think one thing that like other than what you do stands out head and shoulders above everyone else is the imagery that is basically the like the promotional work you do.
Everything you do always has the same kind of style and the same kind of look. It's very standoffish. And like said, I don't mean something we're talking about the idea. We would talk about it yesterday.
How beautiful it is and the colors that you use and it's so striking. But it's sort of, you know that that's your design work. That's you. Yours regardless of what film you're doing, it could be like every film that's different.
But if you can tell you've touched that I love your design work for your own option. Yeah, that was like a like a proper, like I always say to people when you're doing like podcasts and stuff like people are so advice, it's probably because I'm really fucking old. But people like to ask for advice from like some old wolf. And that's, and but yeah, it's branding, you know, like branding is like key like you guys like with stuff that you do in your life and stuff.
Like you've just said to me like I always know when Nerdio North or it's a North because of your you know the brilliant back it back drop and everything that you always have here and you know goes and and all that sort of stuff. And that's really important because like you said, Sammy like if people, there's so much content out there that people bring it out. So how do you make people see what you're doing? And that's one of the main things that I've always tried doing even from start this show.
I was just like I want to make sure that I've got a no-go or something even the old shitty ones. But I wanted to sort of make sure that people knew that when I uploaded something it was the next all chorro and all that sort of stuff. So that's always been really important to me is and also that sort of comes from the filmmaking background as well of you know of that. So I always try and make sure that the videos that I do look reasonably cinematic or something like that you know and you know the duct angles and all that sort of shit.
But yeah that's the other part I love you know because that feeds my creativity because we're all creative. Everybody in the world is creative and it's sometimes it's about finding that creativity and then going right like this is what I enjoy doing and finding it and then being happy with it or not being happy with it if you're with me. So did you have a background in design work as well or is it something that you've picked up or just learned as you've been doing this? Yeah I just learned as I go.
I'm one of those people that luckily because my granddad taught me like everything but my granddad was one of those people that could do a bit of everything. Didn't mean he did it very well. He just could do a bit of everything and I understand like I and when you sort of like could do that you can pick up on things really quickly. So like I managed to pick up on things I'm quite a fast learner so I'm good at most things.
I'm quite handy to have around unless you want it to be professional. Then you're going to fucking work. I'm not going to get away with that because everything that you do that we've seen or like listen to is professionals. So this might not sound like you can fuck off with it.
I'm not. I'm not going to take any compliment on the show that I've yet to say like even with you like when I did the show I sent you a message afterwards saying like if you enjoy it and then when it came out I was like make sure you listen to it because I don't like whenever I do my show like I always say to my guests like this isn't my show this is our show. I want us to do this. I'm very much different.
This is my show everyone else can just go. This is just for me. Yeah but yeah I just I just love having conversations about everything. I mean I literally recorded an episode last night last night about a movie called Chud which is kind of a huge humanoid underground dwellers from 1984.
But it's funny because that movie is a proper B movie. But because of the perspective that I can look at it from a filmmaking background and an acting background sometimes I get to add the extra layers that other people may not be able to because they don't want to be an actor or a filmmaker. So even in a piece of shit movie like Chud I should find those little bits in it where I can go actually it's actually quite a high-end B movie. It's not a piece of shit.
It's actually more to it and stuff. So this really is a really fun thing for me to do because I get to go into detail about things that other people might just brush off and go I'm not watching a film called Chud. Mate I've just done Johnny Dearest. He's pretty good for the quiet hei.
That's an heap of shit. Yeah that's a bit scary. Don't be giving the dolls the hei dor you think. So you got out of the exercise the demons last week.
But talk about a good B movie. So Sammy do you want to do a real scammer? Yeah well. And just want me to hear about a couple of things.
Everything is discussing today's episode. Here's our opinions and our opinions alone. If you'd like to discuss anything from today's episode please come and join us on our Discord the Facebook or the comments section where we can have an open discussion. But what we want to have is anyone coming for us and tell us our opinions are wrong.
We can all agree to disagree in fandom. So let's keep it fun, keep it kind and keep the toxic behaviour out of a nerdism. Thank you. Yes.
And as Dan says, I'm not. Yeah. I'm not. Yeah.
I'm not. Still not. That is the that is the short and down sweet and short version on monsters is don't be tick. Don't be a dick.
So yes. And if again, like say if you want to check out anything that BP is done for the Let's Talk What Horror the information is in the description below. So we've got links to his Instagram, his YouTube channel, and the Spotify account is in our description. So give them a follow up.
Give them like, like give them five stars. It's always nice to get five stars. Give us five stars. Not many people do.
Nice. Yes. Right. I do.
I do. I think I got a review once that said, gave me like two stars because I saw so much. Well guess what? Fuck you.
Fuck you. Fuck you. That's why I make sure I saw so much in the next episode. I'm.
Poise with me parents because my parents won't watch us because I swear. Oh yes. Yeah. My dad points out quite a lot that I have a bit of a potty mouth and I was like, well, it's no different how I talk to you in the house.
So I would talk to you. I would talk to you. You're a bit different. Sammy, don't worry there.
I love this. Hi, Sammy. Sam. And right before we get into the nitty gritty of this movie, as always, I want to give you the taglines for this movie.
Some really good ones. And not as good as some, but they're all right. Kind of getting the point. So we've got from the masters of terror and the macabre.
I feel like my monster's interval voice is going to come out again. And the most fun you'll ever have been scared. Five jolting tales of horror. And this is my favorite actually.
Two masters of the macabre team up to terrify you. Wow. Straight to the point, there's no missing about. There's no redick.
The Batman one last week was soft up and long. I felt like I was reading a monologue. So yeah, straight to the point taglines. Very much like it.
That's the thing that with this as well, you think the people involved that would have had more interest in taglines, especially with like Stephen King being right in part. The one day Romero, Tom Savini. Yep. All that.
And everybody's just like the macabre. Yes. And use the macabre quite a bit. It needs to be aware that it comes back.
Imagine like, you know, all the kids walking down the street, like with their bag of chips being a car. It's very macabre today. Yeah. When I was finding the link to watch the film today, I love the description.
So I actually wrote the description. Five tales of five horror tales, sorry, in the style of a classic 50s comic horror comics. So it is, I didn't quite get the 50s reference. But still.
The comics came out in 82. But okay. But still, because we had a discussion yesterday about was this one of the first anthology movies that came out, not for post movies, but for horror. Because you said Twilight Zone, but Twilight Zone was 83 or 84.
And I was thinking today and I don't want to start an argument or anything long was I. This is just where my brain was going to. When I was watching the Twilight Zone, I fucking love the Twilight Zone. And I do cross these two to them to over.
So I'm really glad that I watched it today. So I could pinpoint which stories as which ones are the Twilight Zone. And what I was thinking is that yes, it's an anthology horror movie. However, Twilight Zone, it was the TV show, but it was still the same concept.
Do you know what I mean? Like the TV show still had the same concept. It was still a show that had stories, multiple stories within it. What would you have Twilight Zone?
Yeah, we'd have the Twilight Zone. We wouldn't have a creep show. Because the Twilight Zone is so influential too. It's one of those things.
It's a bit like Spielberg made yours. And that became so influential, not just a cinema, but like how directors and filmmakers, like Jordan Peele and stuff like that, like how movies like that responsible for him wanting to be what he is. And that's sort of like with Twilight Zone is that the idea is the concepts of stories that they created all the way back in like the 50s or the 60s, whatever it was. You know, with Rod Sterling and like, he's lovely cheesy green and probably secret.
It's me, Rod Sterling. But he's such a fucking legend. And but that guy like they created these incredible stories back then that obviously filled with throughout everything that's come after it. And that's once again, it becomes like the iconography.
So even though people were watching, well, it's not fucking scary, but it doesn't matter. It's still part of horror. I've got to be a job a few times today. I'm not going to lie.
And so there's five stories that's broken down in five different. So well, six if you count the intro and the outro. Yeah, yeah, the first one's just classes the prologue. Yes.
So I guess that's not like part of it. It's like the you know, we wouldn't class that as the first chapter of the book yet. No. So I get that.
But if we just click custom of the five stories, I think four very good stories and one that really didn't care about one didn't need or if it missed it off, I wouldn't have kind of done it with it. It'd be interesting to see which one you think that is and whether I think that's the best one. Possibly. Possibly.
Possibly. That's why I think it's about you. You know where he's going probably with it. So that's interesting, interesting.
So yes, so we start off as well. I love the fucking intro like the prologue, how this starts off as shown in American abuse of father. And it's Tom Higgins. He's the people.
And he's not credited anywhere for this movie, you know. No, he's not. He's not. What makes me sick?
He sees face without a mustache. Yes. He's weird. And then I just got to grow that and you can see where it goes.
This is the guy in the fog who fucked Jamie Curtis in the first 10 minutes. And then now now he's got a mustache in his speaking up. He's kidding. Who the fuck is he?
No, I don't. I don't like it. It was a bit of an over reaction to the slap as well. He's like, oh, you're in a horror comic.
When he gives a back chat about finally his porn or mags. So you can give us a reaction. Right. Okay.
So the kid is Adam Hill. Yeah. God bless Adam Hill is Stephen Kingston. He's kicking off about a horror comic book.
Yet his son has a Dracula poster hanging from his wall. God's ill atoys. Everything in there is related to horror, but the comic book. That's what tipped him over the edge.
Can I just say as well though? Because not many movies do this. The makeup for this because actually for the hand print was really well done. After it's there.
It was always stopped for a second. Did he actually hit him? Yeah. Probably.
Tom Savini did good work in this movie. But I read a story that Stephen King actually like after the DS film and took his son to McDonald's and forgot to wipe the print off his face. And we went into McDonald's and they called the police on here. Yeah.
So Tom's work is really good. Can you remember when you first saw this movie? I know probably he's gone back in a long time. Not for me.
Because this was today the first time he watched it, was it? No, it wasn't. It was a good couple of years ago. It was when, because anthology horror is my favorite horror.
But I never dipped into kind of like Creepshow because of my love for the Twilight Zone. And me and Anne was like, you've got to watch it. If you love this table in horror, you have this has to go in there. So he says, I tell you watch deal.
You watch Creepshow and you watch a Twilight Zone movie straight afterwards. It was like, you got me. Okay. And then it was literally on your couple of years.
And then I watched VHS and then the whole night was just, you know, lost from then onwards. When it happened. Yeah. Lots of wee.
I remember watching as a kid. Because I think I've told the story about Mikul and Andy before, where she used to watch, like, let us watch all the horror films. Like, she used to tape off Channel 4. As long as it didn't have boobs in, she used to let us watch it.
This was one of the ones that she went off. I think you like, because if I comic book style and you were comic book kids, so it was great. I didn't get past the create. The create was too scary for me as a kid.
I was like, no, I'm done. I can't watch it. I think so. For years, I didn't even know there was five stories in this one.
I thought it was just four. Because I could never bring this out to watch past Fluffy. Why you didn't miss anything on the last one to be very good. But that's the conversation.
It will be a bit better. Bob, you've been doing first saw this? This one. I don't know how much do you want me to go into the detail of this?
Just go. Okay. Because I don't want to blow my load, so to speak already. Okay.
But I, so this is, this is, I, you know what, I'm the safest I'm in this for later. But I'll get into it. I'll just go into, but this is one of the films that I watched when I was a kid. Because what's really about having my daughter now is that my daughter is 11.
So what I've been able to do is because of her being at school and he's been at school and stuff. I've been able to sort of trace back my where horror started for me. Like where it's school and when it was and what age I was when I was doing this. So I probably watched this because I, so I used to, because my love of horror started when I was probably about seven years old.
By the time I was nine, I was obsessed with horror. Like we had a, we had a blockbusters, but it was literally three minute walk from my house. So every, almost every night me and my mum would walk down there and we'd go and rent a movie. And predominantly it was always horror and they were like, like, they didn't give a shit what I was.
So by the time I was nine years old, I was stealing Fangoria magazine from three different news because so that way I thought that's my form proof plan at nine years old because they're never going to know who it is me. Oh, it was me. So I started stealing all these magazines, these Fangoria and Creepshow and films like that were always all those magazines because of those great Fangoria magazines would always show the movies that are coming out or have been out and they would have interviews with Tom Savini and they would go through all this amazing stuff about like how they make the movies and that's what I was really excited about. So it was because of those magazines that I ended up thinking finding out things like Creepshow and stuff.
So I remember us going down, we rented it. And yeah, so I was really young when I watched Creepshow for the first time. And it was one of those movies that I friend in love with instantly, but it wasn't because of the segments, the stories, because that's something I feel like they're the things that you understand more as you get older. Like especially like the Ted Danson one and stuff, you know, like as you get older, they're the things you understand more.
And in that one, like, apart from the end of the amazing effects, there's not too much in it and stuff. So it was always the stuff with like Fluffy and like the corpse in Vibran's day and stuff like everything you get excited about. So when I was a kid, I really appreciated it. I appreciated it because of the special effects and what it did and the look of it.
And this is one of the movies that really aesthetically wise because of all the colour in and the lights and the light in and all these reds and blues and it's very very shallow and all that sort of stuff. This is one of the films that really started like my journey of wanting to be a filmmaker. So it's really influential to me. And as I got older, I've just watched it a million times.
And then the annoying thing is because we're in the UK, we can never fucking get anything from to actually buy like this. So you have to get it from Germany or Amazon. No, it took a while for these type of movies to actually start hitting over shelves for a lot of times. I know the steel a bit, I think the steel book's still only in America that you can get.
Yeah. I'm not paying the import, you at least I'll be honest with you. No, I'll just. But yeah, I can still remember to this day when I was watching them because there was ones, as you said, that you understood straight away just because of the horror and the scary aspect.
But the Ted Danson one, that does hit a bit harder now and it's a bit scarier now. But I still, like watching it back to the other was elements where I was in fits of laughter and there was bits that actually did genuinely meet me as well. But I've talked about it, like I said, the starting point, the prologue where we got Tommy and pitched up in his kid and uses one of the wiggest lines ever as I said, that's why God made fathers because he saw it in any topic. No.
And he talked to his wife like she was a piece of shit as well. That was good old American family value, shall we say? Absolutely, it's subtle bitch. Yes.
But we get then we get the first look at the creper and that's when we know, it's very B movie, S, but some of the effects, for the practical effects of time. Remember this is 1982. So there's zero CGI of very little CGI in this one. I think the only film effect is the media rights that's flying from Spier, so everything else looks like it's practical.
Yeah, it is. I'm coming up as well. Yeah, funny enough as well that they released this in America in 4K and you can see, obviously if you have it in 4K, you'll see it. But that scene is quite blurry when you watch it like now and obviously whatever you watch it on.
But on 4K, normally it really shows all the defects and stuff like that. But these effects in 4K look incredible still. So that bit of the window where you see the creep, you can tell the artistry that goes into it, it looks really good. Rather than you going, oh that looks fucking cute.
No, that's great still. Yeah, can't touch something with half the shit that he's done in this film. Oh, amazing. And I'll get it apart from being...
This is the garbage man. Yeah, that's it. But he's a bit of a prick, he keeps on fucking cancelling all the conventions that I keep on trying to get into some. Oh, son of a bitch.
Yes, I think Dan's going to be making them soon. Oh, she already met him. Oh, she's already met him. Yeah.
It's one of Dan's very clever at dropping names when we do our monster episode. This is one of them. He loves them a carburel. Yes.
Who doesn't love them a carburel? But never get the credits as well and the credits are absolutely amazingly done. Because it's very head of its time with the comic book aspect and the way it kind of looks. And again, it's visually just right on my straight.
I love everything about these credits and where it kind of leads to two. And it doesn't throw the names of the episodes too much in your face. It's kind of like if you blink and then you miss it. You miss it, yeah.
You miss it. So it's quite... What can I just say as well? This movie is so it is, it actually hurts.
It is one of the most it is movies I have seen for a long time. And that includes the license to drive and then it works and stuff like that. Yeah, I mean it's so it is Ed Harris has hair. Yes.
So take a little bit. A little bit. A little bit. So yeah, we go into Father's Day with the best story.
And I have to say it, I didn't particularly like this to start with. But as more watching has gone on with this movie, because you know the first time wasn't just the only time I have seen this countless amount of times afterwards. I thoroughly enjoy this story. Yeah.
And there's something I don't know, I couldn't quite explain it. The first time I was like, no, okay, he wants cake. Fair enough. Just give him the cake.
Please. Shut this fucking man up and just give him the cake. But I really like the, the almost mental torture that he puts upon his daughter in order for it to snap. And then she still goes and visits him and he's great.
As of the guilt. Yeah, I just, the relationship aspect, you know this kind of story and this kind of family. Like it's money. It's money that's in within this household and everything's all driven by it.
But for her, I don't know something quite intriguing about that. Yeah. I feel like I found who I could possibly be growing older. Like I love the hat.
I love our whole aesthetic. And one thing I will make a comment about literally every horror movie trope or everything that you see a don't do in a horror movie gets done in every single story that is told in this as well. So you kind of have to take your rose tinder glasses off a little bit and say, right, look beyond, like this is, as you said, for a child's comic book and a way is to take away that element, where because the certain bits of it you're watching like normal, you will get annoyed with and you'll start shouting at the TV, which did happen to the, I'll not lie. But I do love the fact that like when the start off the story, Ed Harris is almost like the audience.
He's the one that basically the tell the story to. So it's kind of like film us in. He's the new guy or the the sisters bit of rough. Shall we say that as I keep referring to.
And you husband with some hellish dance moves every time I see Ed Harris dance all I think is you and Chris and Glover. What a company. Funny enough, I've literally got that in my notes. I was just like, Chris has a better dancer than these because you know, and also, and Harris, clearly knows some form of witchcraft because he likes a match in the fucking cool his way.
And he's like, doesn't witchcraft on a match in it lies. And I'm like, how the fuck do you do that? He just sits there like trying to be cool. He doesn't really fucking do much.
No, it's not integral to the story. He's just there for as you said, to be the audience, like, so they can get so they can tell us what's happening in the shortest space of time. And I'm expecting to last the whole thing. Yes, especially when they put him his name is one of the first names on the credits as well.
It's like, he's like, Oh, great. It's gonna be like, be a like a central story random, but he's just a side part. He's like, even there to move the story on. He's like the first three Barrymore.
Yes. Yeah. I like that. Yeah.
But that's fine. To be honest, there's more interesting characters in that story than Ed Harris. So I'm okay with that. And there's one thing that this film does very well is continuity.
So anthology horror for anyone who doesn't know is different stories within, you know, just either a short period of time, or it's like, broken down into different stories. And sometimes they are singular stories. And other times they can connect together. People can, you know, characters can just walk by in a scene and there's your connection kind of thing.
The connection in this one, do you know what it is? No. Yeah, you don't? No.
No, it's the ashtray. Oh, yes. I did know what it's up here. Yeah, the ashtray that she hooves them with is shown in every single story.
So there's, yeah, what happened today is nobody asked for a round. Exactly. But it was used. I couldn't, did you know what, for all I was looking for it in some things?
And the only time I generally like spotted it where I didn't have to look for it was the end one, where it's the soap dispenser. Is he has he soaked on it? I spotted it there. I spotted it with Leslie Nielsen quite easily.
Uh, because that was a quite an easy spot. But yeah, one of the what I did right about this is how much help partial these to us as well. I think that's a good question. So, but Belinda was lovely.
I did like Belinda's character. She was kind of the rogue sister that went off the reels because her father killed her lover. Because she had more control over her and she wore Fox for her for fuck's sake, man. She looked cool as fuck.
I was hoping that was going to come alive. Yeah. That what got me though was the fact that it was Jim Bean that brought her father back to life. Yes.
All the things in the world. It was Jim Bean. I, when I first watched this, I honestly had no, no, in kind of respect for that make up route, like a make up that was done when I first saw it. But given the episodes that I've done for months as the fact that I've done two parts of Tom Savini and the burning that is coming out on Monday, I have such massive love for this make up.
The skull itself looks exactly like the Vernon. Yeah. The skull and the burn it. It looks exactly like it.
There is real life maggot to use in the make up of that along with Rose Crispy's. I don't know. There are two interesting things about that that you may or may not know anyway. But one, the guy that was basically supposed to be in that suit with the maggot, he was being an absolute pussy and refused to do it.
So they ended up getting one of the ladies on set to do it. So she just mad at me. She was just like, I fucking do it. So they now roast him every time they meet him still to this day about it.
And also, Tom Savini still gets a bit annoyed by it because he wanted the suit to be bigger. So it meant that you could see that it looked more like a skeleton. But the suit was quite skin tight on him. So it still looked like this guy had love to meet to him and stuff and have to look that Tom Savini wanted.
So it's like even just to that own little section, they're still so much like, like I said, like the iconography, like the really cool little bit when you learn about it. But that's the cool thing. I mean, I don't like the ending to this. It pisses me off because I wanted everyone to die.
So it annoys me where it just sort of ends where it's like, here's my fucking caggy game. And with her head on it, we were at it. And then they're like, cut. I get the whole thing my Tom would be pissed off because that did look like a beefy, meaty person.
And Tom is so well known for his, I don't know me, I can't see the words of people. Like he understands people and bodies and that would really understand how that would really knock him. But I do, I love the ending of this. Like here's your cake, bitch.
And there's a head of this. I just think, I was hoping that all of them would die and daddy would come out being sitting down with his cake being like, and then he's like having your cake and eating it. You know what I mean? But it was more based on the ones that had wronged him though because Belinda was the first one that actually killed it.
And then the maid and the one was the ones that like hid the secret as well. So it was kind of like the ones that were punished, other than Ered Harris, who died in the most stupidest way as well. It's not that it's just lying there. Look, and I did like move it.
Move it. Yeah, I didn't get that. I often wonder sometimes with the writing of these things. How the fuck is a corpse telekinetic?
Like I can get me head around the fact that that's being brought back to life with Jim B. I totally can. But how in the fuck does it go in, like has telekinetic powers? Movie magic, Sami.
Movie magic. Movie magic, that's it. Movie magic. But honestly, that ends the conversation right there when you say movie magic.
Yeah, anything is possible in the world of movies. Well, I admit though, this the first jump scare did actually make his jump today. I forgot about it. The curry one where he comes out the grave initially where he just eats hand pops out.
Because it's not like a slow burnout or like thing. She's kind of like going in a little bit of a, she's wet, done a monologue and she's kicked off and just spilled the alcohol. And it's kind of like just like a sombre moment. And then the hand pops out but it's not just like a simple like carry hand grab.
It's quite a violent smash through the soil. And that kind of threw us a little bit because as I said, I've been watching this movie for a good long time. So I forgot to worry about it. And it was like, it's nice that I can actually get caught out a little bit at times as well.
But I wish I could be like that. But the whole grave with with Ed Harris and I was like, let me shout out the screen. Move bitch, get out the weird type thing. Because he moves his hand and he grabs a blender's corpse.
And for some reason pulls around top of him. I was like, is that kind of too many ways? Just, you know, he's getting a bit frisky. Yes.
But yeah. I'm just the colors and like the way they use the colors in this as well. So it's almost. That's a good guess.
That's a thing. Keep the comic crew fail. And I love the name on the use as well. It's kind of like almost like it's the movie signature throughout.
And the panels like everything that they do, it's it's scary. And you're but then it's taken you back to like the comic book. So it's almost like making me feel a little bit of comfort a little bit. And that that's not to get too worried.
But I love that it's not happy ending. And that it's kind of like you don't know who the good guy in the bad guys is. Because like I said, the old guy at the end, I got to start was basically to Babadooka to the point where it was different. Yeah.
Going to the point where it was just going beyond that kind of relaxed style of things as well. But then moving on through the stories as well. Like there's no real happy endings as well. Yeah.
No. And to be honest, he deserved it. Yeah. He definitely deserved it.
And I'm not saying that they didn't because like revenge is great. But I still think overall she did good. Yeah. I honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed this one more than what I thought.
Remember from the first time watching it enjoying it. Yes. I still think much up on like. Yeah.
Well, quite like that. Like as I said, starting off strong, then we move on to the Weeden Wonderful. The London death of, now am I saying this right? It's a Jordi Veral or Jordi Veral?
If it's Stephen King, it'll be Jordi. Because he likes to always take references from all the stories where B.S. on King short stories, I believe as well. Yeah.
King wrote the King wrote the lot in Romero directed it. But yeah, the London death of Jordi Veral, starring Stephen King himself. Very much. It was amazing in this.
Oh, let's be honest. The act is terrible. Like, it's not. No, this is, this is where I disagree.
Like, because I do this quite a lot. And I end up disagreeing. Like, a lot of the time people always say, I was like, oh, the act is awful. The performances are awful.
But loads of times I really, really enjoy those performances because they go into it and they know what they're trying to do. And the problem is, is that he gives off a performance that's like, he doesn't know what he's doing and he's shit. But in reality, like, he's purposely doing that. And he's purposely giving those performances.
So I absolutely, like, I would be happy if he was the whole movie. It felt very much like Little Shop of Horrors. It was slapsticky. It was slapstick comedy.
His cartoonish facial expressions were hilarious, which totally fit the fact that, look at the story itself. He touched a meteorite. Now he's turning green. Like, hell, you can't portray that.
You have to have some form of funny. Why the fuck would you touch it though? Can I just ask that question? Why would you touch it?
I'm not gonna lie. I probably wouldn't. That's the fun in it. Like, and also, like, imagine if someone like Ed Harris was in one like this, like a segment like this.
It would be so boring. It would be so serious. No, I'd definitely agree. It was up there with Dennis Hopper with the Smarty Brothers with the performance, like, chewing the savory and stuff.
And I love that performance, because it fits all perfectly. But this has such a sad element to it as well. Yeah, this is sad. I have a role you're getting this, like, brilliant, acting performance from Stephen King, who's not an actor.
He's doing, obviously, the best he can, but it's just a space of expression. It's just so funny to me. But at the same time, it's like, this man is dying in front of your eyes. Like, he's transitioning into death, essentially.
Yeah, this guy's done nothing wrong at all. And then shoots himself in the face, because he can't live with it. No. Yeah.
It's transitioning. It's so sad. It's horrific in the way they do it as well. I love the whole telling of the story of this one as well, because it's so bleak, as you said.
And again, if they did it any other way, then the comedy version, it wouldn't have worked as well. If they tried to do, like, a proper, serious, smart, or space-invader-type thing. But yeah, the rubber face of... Maybe it's because I just don't like Jim Curry as well, so it gives a reminder of Jim Curry's performance as well.
Yeah, yeah. That's understandable. I have to say, the line that broke me in this episode, I was no good after... I actually had to rewind it just to see what you said.
I'll be dipped in shit if that the intermediate... I don't even understand the premise or why that line was in there, but I just was so glad it was, just because it was just the weirdest thing ever. But that was probably the best way I'd describe this part of it as well, because it was just bonkers and weird. But kudos to the practical effects, because if they did that now, that would all be CGI.
