Finally, a horror movie that shows the true monsters are Irish businessmen.
We saw Halloween 3 season of the witch, so you know what that means.
Now it's time for...
How does this create?
We've got to have a good time celebrate some failure.
Not just me to hate it.
But you know you wanted it. How does this create?
Looks like we're in the media.
Critique of self-barrage.
Perhaps we'll find the answer to the question.
How did this get made?
Hello, people of Earth and welcome to How Did This Get Made?
I am joined as always by my two co-host,
June Diane Rayfield. How are you June?
I'm great, Paul. How are you?
Very good. And Jason Manzook is how are you Jason?
Pretty good, Paul.
Pretty good.
This week we do not have a guest.
It's a fuck yes.
How did this get made first?
This is just a three of us.
Is that true?
It is. Yeah, the first time we have not had a guest.
We've had many times where we've had not one of us.
Always had a guest.
Just a little bit of a...
See how this gets?
Yeah, people on the boards are going to freak out.
What is going conspiracy theory?
This show has jumped the shark.
I will say that I don't revel in anybody's downfall,
but I got a lot of tweets today that Paul Hogan
is getting a divorce after 23 years.
Oh no.
So I figured I'd mention that.
I don't know if our podcast played on par.
Sorry, Paul.
Maybe she's single.
Well, Linda Kosłowski is back on the market.
Oh shit.
For all of you out.
This is Get Made Lister's.
And also a big thank you to whoever sent us
Amy, the communications gorilla from Congo Action Figure.
It's in its packaging and it's awesome.
We'll take a picture of it.
Thank you, nameless person, who didn't even put your name in there.
You were selfless.
And it's, I mean, like a real like,
it's still in the package action figure is very rare.
It could have been from Amy, the communication.
What's not real?
It could have been, I'm just trying to figure it out.
Do you think the woman who played the gorilla sent it to us?
I don't know.
Hmm.
I mean, that would be, that would be pretty amazing.
By the way, I would found out on the mini episode
that gorilla was played by a man named Peter Elliott.
Wait, really?
Yes.
Because I did, oh, that's weird.
Because when I looked it up, it was a woman.
Who did it?
Yeah.
Maybe melt some people.
You know what? Maybe a lot of people lied on our message boards.
Anyway, you got damn liars.
Get off our goddamn message boards.
We are creating weird means.
Those means are great.
I mean less pretty much on that.
But you guys do some great memes.
Guys, Halloween 3, season of the witch, a fan favorite.
We asked people to vote on their favorite Halloween movies.
Is that, oh, I see.
This is the one that was voted on most consistently.
Was sleep away camp our last horror movie?
Our last Halloween horror.
Halloween horror, yes.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
Yeah.
I thought we would do some play camp two,
but I thought that would be maybe too easy.
Yeah.
This one is pretty amazing.
Halloween 3, a non-Michael Myers Halloween.
That's a really big question I have straight away.
Because I kept expecting Michael Myers to show up.
Well, here's the thing.
And is there a mythology I'm not aware of from?
Well, they are watching the movie within movies.
Right.
Halloween.
Yes.
A few times.
The big, the home movie draws to on Halloween night.
They'll be playing Halloween.
And everyone needs to stay tuned after it to watch a very special commercial
from Mask Factory Company.
Anyway, which is?
We're clear that we've been doing a big giveaway.
Which is a company that apparently has like,
is like a small company in Northern California
that has reached all over the United States.
They are supplying masks to the entire country.
I was sitting here on that.
Whether it was like a national thing or whether they were like.
Well, it cuts to like Dayton, Ohio.
Oh, right.
You're right.
It's weird.
It definitely is a national company.
And they're very, they only have three masks for sale.
Anyway, we'll get into all of this.
I will answer your question first.
It is not a Mike Myers movie.
Here's the deal.
John Carpenter said he would make a sequel to Halloween too.
Only if it stayed true to Halloween too, which is Mike Myers is dead.
And so it was going to become an anthologist series.
So Halloween four would have become another story around Halloween.
So that would have been the linking factor.
And why is this the season of the witch?
Yeah, I also kept expecting there to be a witch who was like.
Yes.
When we get to the factory and it's like what is causing like the masks
to be like murderous elements?
Yes.
I was like, they must have a witch.
Well, here's my thought.
I think without really saying it, the man who runs the mask factory is a warlock.
Ooh.
But season of the warlock didn't really work.
Yeah.
Because there isn't a song called season of the warlock.
I think it would be great if it was just like warlock's evil plan.
Oh, yeah.
I love that.
Now, I thought at one point we were going to find out that he,
because I couldn't understand why he was Irish, although that accent came and went.
A little bit.
Why he was Irish by the whole town was Irish.
And I thought at one point it was going to be that he was,
he was a leprechaun.
I love where this is going.
That's like he.
Well, you're saying that you're taking that leprechaun.
I think the leprechauns that we've dealt with on this show are proven to be evil.
The only leprechauns I think that are nice are the lucky charms leprechaun.
Well, what I'm trying to get at is I thought his motivation,
we've come to find his motivation simply to do practical jokes on kids.
And that by the way, that's a big part of his factory is not just about Halloween.
Really?
Most of his work is centered around novelty gifts and practical jokes.
That are real.
That aren't like deadly.
Well, here are some of the things he goes, don't you know this guy?
He invented a sticky toilet paper, the dead dwarf gag,
and the soft chainsaw.
All three don't sound like giant bestsellers, the dead dwarf gag.
There's a lot of similarities between this movie and toys.
Oh, yes.
A lot of similarities.
A lot of similarities between robot people and toy makers
and all this kind of weird fucked up stuff.
I felt like I was like, this is another toys.
Well, let's go back just to set up our main character.
So the movie starts off arguably with one of the worst title sequences of all time, potentially.
Like it looks like print shop, old school print shop.
This is a reference to people's one of my favorite.
I loved the opening and I will say I love it because it's ridiculous.
But I also unabashedly love John Carpenter's film scores.
He does all the music for all his movies and they are, they remain like amazing music.
I was thinking this one was great.
I loved it too, that's synthetic.
I loved it.
And the song, we'll get to the song in the plays about 15 times in the movie.
That is true 15 times.
I love it.
I love it.
It's weird is that when they show the, on TV there's a commercial for the movie Halloween
that has the exact same theme that this movie is using as a theme.
Which is like the world's that at that point.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't do that.
You can't have the same scary movie theme be both part of my movie that I'm watching
and the movie within the movie.
So John Carpenter can do what he wants.
This is the high 80s man.
And by that rationale, like Snake Puskin could have arrived at any point in this movie and
been like, oh, by the way, I'm here too.
And Snake Puskin could have run into the Kurt Russell character from the same thing.
Yes, sure.
And they would have not have recognized each other.
Why not?
Why not?
So basically, all right, this movie, the protagonist of this movie is a drunk, like a doctor who
loves to fuck.
He fucks everybody in the movie and they love him.
Every woman is throwing herself at him like, this is what's so weird about the movie
because yes, he's set up, I guess is a womanizer and an alcoholic and sort of a, like a
running, almost like a renegade divorce dad.
A divorce dad.
A rugged wife.
Well, I didn't know if he was divorced from that woman because he goes, yes, yes, I'll
take the kids' trick or treating.
Oh, there's that.
He's definitely divorced from her.
Wait, the woman in the house?
Yes.
Oh, I thought they were together too.
I thought that was his wife.
And then later when he's on the phone with a woman, he's like, oh, my ex-wife.
I was like, oh, that must be a different woman.
Because he came into that house is because he came into his ex-wife's house, very normally.
He didn't knock on the door.
He just walked in as if he was dead and they were like, daddy's home, daddy's home.
And then they discuss that he's getting the kids the next weekend.
Oh, for how many?
I didn't pay attention to their downwards.
I will say the thing that I really did like about that when the father comes home is he,
he seems like he just came home from like a hard day like, hey, I'm going to see my
kids.
And then all of a sudden, he's like, oh, I'm on call.
I've got to go.
Yeah.
Like, he literally, he is not in the house for more than 35 seconds.
We're like, oh, got, yep, back to work.
See you later, guys.
He had bought the masks that the kids already had.
Now, he bought the masks that the kids didn't like because they had already purchased from
mom, the silver shamrock.
Silver shamrock.
The sad news masks.
Yeah.
Now this, this, this doctor is amazing.
He goes, he gets called into the hospital.
There was a guy who gets killed in the beginning of the movie or an arcade's killed gets frightened.
He's in a frightened coma.
Yeah, he's in a frightened coma.
He's like, like John Hawks in Congo.
Yes.
And he's holding clutching onto a Halloween Halloween mask.
And now he's so weird, by the way, because the doctors had been working on him for some
time and they must have, because he does seem he's in a coma.
They must have placed that mask in his hands almost in a prayer position.
Well, it was so odd that they did that matter.
That's what that out of his hands.
Well, the only thing that wakes him up is when he hears the silver shamrock commercial
on that one of the hospital TVs, he wakes up and is like, they're going to kill us all.
And then passes out again.
And everybody's like, what I can't figure out is that happens.
And then the police come and our sexy, sex addict doctor doesn't tell them that.
No, he doesn't say anything.
He kind of whispers it to the corner.
He basically flies.
That's the major plot point in the movie that's really flawed.
Why this doctor feels compelled to go on on this journey.
He's not figured this out.
He's not a law man.
Yeah, it's not a detective.
Even though they then start referring to him as a detective later.
Well, you're pretty good detective.
I think this movie is pretty much sums up with this guy is a horny dude.
And he sees a semi hot girl, the daughter of the guy who died from, well, spoiler alert,
he gets his brain crushed in the hospital.
The guy in the, the guy in the introduction who's running away from the bad guys, the
bad guys catch up with him in the hospital.
And they basically shove their fingers into his eye socket and like melkt his brain or
chop his brain.
And then the guy that he's in a suit.
By the way, this movie does have the thing that I love in all horror movies.
Everyone running, running, running.
And these guys just walk with your office and manage to get 50 to 75 feet ahead much
quicker at all times.
The slow walk beats people running.
At one point, the man is running just running away from a car.
Yes.
And gets away.
Get the car cannot close the gap.
It's not a dysfunctional car.
No car.
All they need to do is speed up.
Just put your foot down on that gas.
That guy, that guy's getting away.
Nope.
Nope, we're going to get him.
Don't you worry?
Also, when they try to chase out, well, when the murder crushes that guy's brain.
Oh, yeah.
This is my favorite part, one of my favorite parts of the movie.
He's got blood all over his blood gloves and he just kind of grabs like a hospital, like
a, like a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a,
and just like wipe stuff his blood, casually wipe something blood off his hands and then
walks out, like, son turns out,
son turns out, and our doctor then starts racing after him.
And again, this guy walking, walking with purpose, not going fast at all, is able to walk
out into the parking lot, into his car, dust himself with gasoline and light himself on
fire before a sexy doctor can get to him.
Yeah, and sexy doctor.
By the way, there's nobody working at this hospital.
No one.
The night shift is basically him and that nurse, the taps her ass.
He's like a sexual predator.
But here's what's so weird.
He is because he does those things, but there's nothing about him that actually seems like.
I don't know why these women are fucking him.
Yeah, he's like, I should have married you, Doris.
He's, he's, he's, and then slaps her ass and she's like, you should be so lucky.
And, and she, like, this guy looks to me, like, he smells like Budweiser and cigarettes.
And cigarette butts.
But he, by the way, he is not handsome.
No, who is he?
I've seen him in 10 million things.
Yeah, he's been in every thing.
I'm trying to think of what he's been in recently, so people have a reference point.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull it up.
But you know him.
He's like a quintessential character actor from the last two decades.
Look, Doris and his looks, what I was baffled by is he has no swagger.
He care, he, he doesn't seem interested in these women at all.
Nobody clearly is fucking him every.
Yes, I am.

When I was a kid growing up, we had a possum problem.
And my stepdad would capture possums and keep them on the front lawn for Halloween.
So when kids came up the trick or treat, they would be completely freaked out by these crazy
possums hissing and rattling their cages because he thought that was hilarious.
It gave many people in the town a good, good fright.
And it did also make our house a must stop on Halloween night.
Anyway, that might have been a little bit cruel, but I believe that Halloween is built
on a simple act of generosity, right?
A kid's knock on a neighbor's door, that neighbor gives him candy.
That's beautiful, right?
And trick or treat for unicef takes that same spirit of generosity and gives families a
way to pass it on.
Trick or treat for unicef is a Halloween tradition that has been around for eight decades.
Generations of kids have carried the orange boxes door to door collecting donations alongside
their candy to help children around the world.
Donations help unicef provide things for children and crisis, including vaccines, safe
water, and emergency relief.
So this Halloween, you and your family can help make a difference for kids around the
world, give like a kid again and trick or treat for unicef.
Visit trick or treat for unicef dot org to get involved.
Things I can't live without.
I need a nice cardigan.
I need sweats that don't look like sweats that I can actually leave the house in a fall
jacket that I can wear indoor and outdoor because I'm in love with California.

And when quince asked where he heard about them, let him know is how did this get made.
It's the best way to support the show and we appreciate it.
By the way, the names in this movie, her name is Ellie Brimbridge.
What is Brimbridge?
Another woman's name is mini mini blank.
Okay, wait, there is also a character named.
Okay, who says who's who this the are curly hair, bro, gets into a conversation with the
woman in the in the alley gets into a conversation with the woman next door to them in the
motel.
And they have like an awkward exchange.
And then the woman is like, oh, by the way, my name is Marge gutterman.
I'm a union square in San Francisco.
You should come look me up.
And then she is dead almost.
What?
Why did you just introduce yourself by first and last name and tell us a location that
we can find you at and then we never revisit any of this.
I feel like all these people, everyone in this movie are exposition robots.
They're like, I am this person.
I do this.
And this is my, Mike, everyone has their game.
Here's some of the names.
I'll just read them down.
Honestly, I think we were, I think we met her so that when she died, Ellie could seem
upset about it.
And she died.
She's like, Marge.
I had some sort of a connection.
Um, here's, uh, here's some of the names.
Uh, Colonel Cochran, Rafferty, Buddy Cupfer, Betty Cupfer, Little Buddy, Linda Chalice,
Grimbridge, and that, and that those are pretty much the big, the biggest ones.
Now this guy we were talking about where he's been in Tom Akins.
He's a Daniel Chalice.
And he's the doctor and you might have seen him in, uh, movies like Drive Angry.
As Cap, um, my bloody Valentine is Sheriff Jim Burke.
Um, he was in striking distance.
That was 93 sergeant Fred Hunter.
Right.
Yeah.
You would know him.
You know Bob Roberts, maniac cop, lethal weapon.
Oh, he is the lethal weapon.
That's actually his Michael Hunt Sacker.
He is the guy who like, Danny Glover goes to his like my daughter.
She's in porn.
Exactly.
Michael Hunt Sacker.
Oh, I love it.
All right.
The only reason I can think of as to why he goes to solve this is because he says,
he wants to fuck that girl.
No, that's not it.
I really don't think that's it.
Oh, I think that's it.
He seems surprised.
He does want to solve the mystery, but he wants to fucking plow this girl.
But why you that's the other thing?
He has another line though where he says, I've been at this hospital for eight years.
When he's talking to the foreigner and it seemed that that was the reason that he's done with hospital work.
He wasn't getting to protecting.
He felt so, um, connected to this hospital that he couldn't stand this happened on his.
Well, he was like, um,
he did some, he did, like he's talking to his ex wife on the phone at one point.
And he's like, two men died here tonight.
And you can hear him.
He's like, yeah, yeah.
This that woman she was a night, a real shrew.
Yeah, yeah.
Like all women because there are two people died last night.
And she's like, are you going to take the kids to trick a treating?
And he's like, I'll be there.
Let me go first.
I think first what she says is something to the effective.
Doesn't that happen all the time there?
And he has to be like, no, it wasn't my fault.
Like he's like, it wasn't during operating or whatever.
He's like, to be there's murder and there's police around.
He is, he, his wife sounds like a nightmare.
And so no one is like, let me get the fuck out of here with this hot little number.
She apparently packs the smallest little bag and it's only full of lingerie.
I believe lingerie in a park.
Well, she just flew in for MLA and these two are ready to party because also
when he gets before he gets in her car to go detecting, he just has a six pack of beer.
Oh, yeah, just a six pack of their alcohol.
When they actually meet it's alcoholic, but it means nothing ultimately.
Like, yeah, his alcoholism does not play a part in this.
And he's not, it doesn't make him a bad doctor.
Does not make him a bad detective.
And he's never trying to prove that he's not an alcoholic or that he, he's just an alcohol.
He's just an alcoholic.
It's just a fun side choice that his character is made to just be an inveterate trigger.
Because with the time that we meet him when he meets the girl, Grimberg, he is,
there he's at a bar on a Sunday morning watching cartoons, watching cartoons and drinking.
And it's crazy.
It's crazy too because he's sitting there in the bar and she just shows up.
The girl whose dad just died.
And she does say finally, she's like, the nurses told me you'd be here because you're a
fucking crippling alcoholic apparently.
And then the movie kind of skipped seven days.
The movie opens up like on October 23rd.
And then all of a sudden, the next day is Halloween.
Don't you also, sorry, just to back check once again, don't you also feel like he was
fucking the coroner?
Oh, the blonde.
He kissed him.
And then yes, later on the movie, he goes, I owe you a dinner.
I'll take any dinner with you.
Oh, he's totally, he's gross.
If you had a fuckery, definitely, though, I was obsessed with.
First of all, she's sifting through those ashes with no gloves on.
No, just her hands.
And it takes her, I would say probably five days to figure out that there are no human
remains.
Yeah.
And she's like, she goes, I think someone might be tampering with this because it's
just pieces of the car.
You know, it's like non organic material, whatever she says.
And then the, I mean, here's a big spoiler for later.
A lot of these people are robots.
And I'm sorry.
A lot of these people in the movie are robots.
We'll get into that.
The majority of these people.
But there was one thing to that one town, a solid 75% of residents are robots.
It takes place in the same small town as that.
That's what I didn't realize that.
So, so the town's people are robots as well.
I think a lot of the suits, the men and suits, because remember they, they say that the
drunk says, they should have all the, they brought in all outside labor.
You know, I think those people work at the factory, like, but like the bomb.
He's like a real person, you know, there's some real people there.
Now, but the, oh, so she's like doing the, she's doing the investigation in the corner.
And she's like sifting through.
And then all of a sudden, the second time we see her, it's just gizmos, like robotic gizmos.
Like, and they're in the same kind of petri dishes.
It's like, oh yeah.
And these are odd that all of a sudden I have like four trays of just like gyros and like,
like little like it, like it's so.
And they also make a big deal of the fact that she's the assistant coroner.
So she can't like speed along the first meets her.
We first go to her, but then like she, she is the only one.
Yeah, she never answers to anybody.
All right.
With no gloves on.
By the way, let's just for everyone to hear it.
This song, like I said, plays 15 times throughout the movie.
Every time there's a TV on this song, more than 15.
So that is the song the place are at the movie now.
Just to give you the scope of the plan.
So they're the evil guys, the silver Shamrock people, the advertising for the Irish, the Irish,
the Irish, the average, the amount of advertising that this company has put in, they have put
more money than Apple in their advertisements.
It is on every commercial nonstop.
And their big claim to fame is that they make three masks, a pumpkin mask, a skeleton
mask, in a witch mask mask.
The thing that I love about though is like, it's a terrible plan.
So they, like, so I mean, I guess we have to talk about, oh, I don't know how to say that.
So their plan is basically, they've put microchips into the mask.
They've sold masks to every child in the country.
Yes.
And at nine o'clock on Halloween night, they're in, they're, they're telling all the kids.
Because by the way, these masks are being sold in smaller shops.
I guess.
No, they're being sold everywhere.
No, because all of these local buyers from wherever are buying from this factor.
So where is there a, so her father was a buyer?
Is there a big, is there a big store versus small store, like small time America thing happening?
Yes, there is because the, the guy who died, the daughter gives a speech when they're in
the shop about how like business hasn't been gone.
Right, right, right.
And how like everybody's shopping at this.
So it's so, it's so, it's so, it's so you're saying that like, all right, so the plan is
that these kids put on this mask and then they watch us add and their heads explode into
snakes and bugs and bugs.
So now anyway, we'll get into that.
Just because they're all just said when these kids put on the mask and then watch the commercial,
their heads melt and turn into snakes and bugs.
That's nine p.m.
On Halloween night.
And by the way, and bugs.
So now are you saying that like the kids who buy the masks from the bigger stores won't
get hurt?
I don't think so because they're not from the Shammer.
Those are the masks.
Remember when he brings the mask to his kids and his wife, I think it's like, yeah,
let me guess.
Let me guess you went to the mall or something.
Oh, right.
Yeah, she's like, yeah, something like that.
Something like derisive to shopping at the mall.
And by the way, so where did she get those masks?
From Silver Shamrock.
No, no, no, I think from the dad's store, Silver Shamrock is the supplier.
I don't think they are individual.
They don't have the retail.
I think she bought those masks from Ellie's dad's store.
Okay.
Like the local in town can ask stores.
I don't know.
Every small town has one.
And we also just, she's shopped the post.
And the mask store.
And the mask store.
And can we all just talk to the reason why the daughter gets suspicious of this whole
plan is because her dad was like, oh, they're not letting me order my Halloween masks
for next year.
Yeah.
It's not even this year's Halloween.
He's like, no, he wasn't that the other guy.
They're both.
They both said they both are.
They just margin because they met so perverted.
You mean, Marge got her basically from from from you.
You're just glad San Francisco.
So they basically all are just like these are mask store owners going, we need to order
masks for next that.
I feel like we can't be left out in the cold.
You know why there are no masks for next sector because they're going to kill everybody.
All the children will be dead.
Although that's the thing is that it's unnecessary because like he, right, is he bringing about
like some sort of apocalypse?
I guess so.
Just a child apocalypse though because, oh, I guess maybe what he was testing with that
family.
No, that snakes and bugs kill the parents.
Yeah, it's that everybody would die.
But it did see what we got to his reasoning at the very end.
He said, well, you want it?
Do you want to hear his reasoning?
Sure.
Can we have this clip?
This is his reasoning.
It's a little bit long, but it's worthy because of understanding it.
Here we go.
We have a good joke and this is the best ever.
A joke on the children.
But there's a better reason.
You don't really know much about Halloween.
You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and
go out begging for candy.
No, I was just talking about a joke, right?
The last great one took place 3,000 years ago when the hills ran wrecked with a blood
of animals and children.
Sacrifices.
The part of our world.
Our craft.
Which craft?
Do our sitels away of controlling our environment?
It's not so different now.
It's time again.
Do you think him getting into the novelty business was all leading out to this?
He spent years breaking into it.
Well he's a warlock there.
He is, I guess he's immortal.
Oh, and well, he's immortal and he spent a lot of time building up a very big novelty
business with the dead dwarf gag, the sticky toilet paper and the soft chainsaw.
Just for this?
Just for this big plan in 1982.
Now here's the other big problem with this movie.
I know many people have pointed this out, but the lapper part of this plan is that they
had to take a giant piece of stonehenge.
This, I don't understand at all.
They have a giant piece of stonehenge and when asked, he says something to the effective,
oh, we had a, I'm going to find out exactly how he said it because it's really worth reading
it.
He just, he grabbed a giant piece of stonehenge and brought it here and when asked
how did he do it?
He basically just says, oh, well, that was a crazy story.
I'll tell you that much.
But is that stone, are we to understand that stone is powering these chips and masks
and causing this?
Yes, because those scientists are chipping off pieces of the stonehenge rock putting it
into the microchips.
Now why would it still doing that?
Why?
And my question also is why does the microchip, when tampered with shoot a laser?
Yes, that's another problem.
I find out.
I remember when March gutterman is 10, like, I know if March gutterman's sleep attire is
a whole community.
I wrote what is March wearing to bed.
And I want it, like a mead like that.
You need that outfit.
I need that outfit.
Some sort of sparkly, capped it up like it was and there were pants to it.
They were, they were layers.
There was levels to it.
Well, there's a, I was very turned on by it.
I came a bunch.
And especially when she took the laser to the face like a real pro.
She got laser buccacchi.
And for the first time we saw her.
Yes.
And very like, you know, wholesome, corn fed, you know, mom.
Tell me, say it again, but slower.
And then she goes to bed in this insane outfit.
Like something that you would see on Little House in the prairie because they didn't have
sheets or stuff.
Except with, like, metallic material.
There was a lot of weird behavior.
There was that.
And then there was Ellie Bloomcock or whatever name is when she gets out of the sh-
There's a scene where she gets out of the shower.
Yep.
I'm very familiar with it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I rewind it.
I rewind it because I'm like, I'm not seeing boobs, but I'm pretty sure I can see her
bush.
Well, okay.
I thought so too.
I don't think that's the case.
I think you just see a shadow.
Okay.
Sorry, Jason.
I don't.
I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
Shadden.
What's up with the shower has a tiny towel.
Yes.
Sort of covers herself and then makes a beeline for the bed.
I don't know, man.
It was a little weird.
Well, there's even weirder is.
What's even weirder is Dr. Sexy comes back and you are like, oh, he's going to find it
maybe because in my mind, I was like, oh, maybe she's like wants to be naked for when
it comes back.
But no, she's put on lingerie.
No.
Yeah.
But isn't the exact same position where we left her?
Yes.
Just with lingerie.
And was there having a real hardcore effincene, uh, Marge
Gutterman realizes that one of the tags fell off on the on the mask and she's like, well,
let me let me start figuring out engineering here.
Anyway, isn't that her complaint about all out of the mask?
Yeah, the tag is falling off.
So she looks at the microchip on the back of that thing and just willing, nearly just
like, well, let me just rub a metallic object across it.
Let me start poking at this.
Seeing like at which point a laser zaps her in the face.
Boom.
At which point bugs crawl out of her mouth.
What?
Like, it cuts open her face or creates bugs.
That was my question.
Is the laser a bug bum?
Like, what the fuck is happening?
Not only does it burn your face.
Now, I want to ask Donjans.
So it's like evil creatures from Stonehenger inside the lake.
I didn't want to ask because I felt like, June, you knew a lot more about lasers than us
in the Congo episode.
Yes.
I just didn't know if you had any experience with lasers producing bugs.
I think these lasers were stone lasers and I think they had like diamond lasers.
Not diamond lasers?
I think they had like the earth's elements in them.
Boom.
And so that's why this, you know, the bugs and snakes were crawling out.
I'm very interested in the connection between these last three movies now.
Lasers, toys, robots.
It's very, we have a lot of connection.
And people being frightened to death.
Yes.
Yep.
Well, now look, so here's my favorite part.
She gets Marge Gutterman's face ripped off and then they all run out to see what happened
to her.
And then the evil toy manufacturer says, oh, don't worry.
We're taking her to the toy factory hospital.
We have one of the best in terms of carrying units.
That's the most suspicious thing ever.
It's a fucking factory.
There's that.
That's not like they make they make toys.
They make toys.
They goddamn make toys.
And it doesn't look like anything more than a straight up factory.
It looks like a assembly line factory and they're like, we'll take her to the toy factory.
Nothing suspicious of there.
Well, but super suspicious.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They have their own ambulance and they do take her away and stretch.
I thought the ambulance though was like, that's the hospital ambulance.
Like a divert it from the hospital.
Tend it over the toy factory.
What's the fear?
The fear is that the first act of the movie is like in this town where he lives with his
family and he's a doctor and blah, blah, blah.
And then he and this fucking curly haired Gellie get in the car and drive to a whole other location
where the rest of the movie takes place.
Yes.
Almost as if I started to feel like I feel like I'm watching out somebody poorly play a video
game.
Well, you're controlling the doctor and all you do is run around, get into cars, get out
of cars, get chased, you chase, but you don't know the mission you're on.
You can't, I couldn't figure it.
It's like someone doing Grand Theft Auto sandbox.
Yes, it's just running around.
There's no mission.
And no emotional connection to figuring this out.
Well, nobody did, but he hit, well, he should because his kids own those fucking masks.
And he never called.
Well, he does.
He does call his wife.
He does call his wife.
Yeah, he causes away from the fact.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And again, she's like, you're dead.
D'all with the boss.
I'm not.
Yeah, you're just jealous.
Yeah.
Um, he's like, I'm fucking this broad now.
Leave me alone.
I'm drinking.
He's always drinking.
And by the way, if you're, even if you're a fucking drunk, don't share your bottle with
like a homeless guy on the street, even if the guy says which he does, I don't, I'm not
sick of nothing.
But can I get a drink of that?
Hey, guess what?
You knock shared drinks with God.
Weird.
Gross.

Here's the other thing too.
They go undercover in the factory as Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Oh my God.
Unbelievable.
And they're going for a tour of the factory with this weird kernel.
And they immediately blow their cover when just for some reason out in the open Ellie's
dad's car is just out there.
This is a dead man's car.
He's guarded by weirdos and the robots ensues.
Yes.
Okay.
The other thing is the whole factory is guarded by weird Irish people ensues.
They kind of look like McEl brush to cough in bad soon.
Or to me they were like the precursors to like the agents and the matrix.
Yes.
I was saying they're like adjustment of poor, adjustment bureau people with less personality.
Oh.
We didn't stop.
We didn't talk about the the killed at homeless guy in the field by just ripping his head.
This is a big problem I have with the movie too.
I didn't told I did not understand why certain people were getting killed for talking.
Other people weren't for talking I think.
Yeah.
So he was this guy was like creating monopoly in town and didn't want anybody like he
had was he the mayor who was setting the curfew.
Oh yeah.
There is a curfew in town.
So he is like the toy manufacturer has that much say in the down.
Well, I think he just owns this town and is like he brought in other Irish people and
businesses because he felt they would be friendly to him and not ask the hard questions.
I think I would I would equate it to he is like Ben Gazara in Roadhouse.
Okay.
Yes.
Everybody is a powerful dangerous man that everybody is afraid of.
So much so that the the the the drunk is like I'm not afraid to say anything.
You fuck you, Carcran and then cut to next scene.
He's dead.
But no, we've wide rip his head off because it's only hours away from the plan happening
anyway.
Oh yeah.
And everyone's going to die.
So why did we I don't understand he also kills his best sales person.
Well that makes no sense.
I couldn't figure out why.
Why did they need Ellie's father's car?
Was that explained?
No, no, no.
Ellie explained what he discovered.
Well, that was the thing like Ellie's father clearly was investigating something in the
middle of the night at the factory, which caused him to run away or they captured him.
Like again, the only reason why he was at the factories because he tried to put an order
in for next year.
Now, let me tell you, I'm not an evil mastermind.
But if my plan was to kill all the children of this Halloween and someone said, hey,
we want to order masks next year.
I wouldn't give the realistic response.
I'm like, great, what's your order?
No, and I'll never have to fill it because all the children will be dead.
What was the issue?
Like, why was he so committed to telling the truth?
What's really weird?
No, we're not doing that.
We're not taking orders.
What's really weird about this movie?
And I feel like a lot of movies of this genre, of this era, like the, whether it's Friday
or the 13th or Nightmare and Elm Street.
The victims are teenagers and adults.
The true victims of this crime in this movie are like seven-year-olds.
Children.
Like the scene in which they put the kids in a pumpkin mask with his parents in the
room and then they're like, watch this, watch this happen.
And then they play the commercial that's going to activate the mask.
And the little boys head melts and turns into bugs and spider and giant snakes, giant
snakes come pouring out of the kids mask.
Craziness.
That was really, really, yes.
He was an annoying kid.
Oh, yeah, yeah, fuck that kid.
But still, it was upsetting.
But he did not deserve to die by having a face melt into bugs.
He, but then, oh my gosh, some of the funny stuff in that scene though too was the doctor
is watching them as they're in this like private test room.
And does one of the best reactions of all time.
If you haven't seen it, I'll try my best to describe it.
But it's a silent rage where both fists come up and he looks down and just shakes his
head like, yeah.
But not like that.
Yeah, like, oh.
Yeah.
Like, almost like he's like, I will avenge this.
So upset.
And why would he kill his best salesman?
He's guys done nothing but get those masks.
And by the way again, why was it the fact that I, the fact that he's just a bull.
A believer in their product.
I love that.
He's a big fan of their novelty toys.
And by the way, isn't it odd that after curfew that the toy maker is like, come over to
my factory.
I want to show you some commercials in a fake living room set because you need to watch
it in a fake living room.
And the wife, his wife, buddy's wife was a little bit weird.
Why does she start laughing maniacally?
Yeah, she's like, I was like, is this part of the thing that it causes people who are
watching it to become euphoric or something.
But then I was like, oh, I think she's just a fucking weirdo.
I think she was a weirdo.
I mean, it seemed her character wanted her husband to make more money and.
Like, after they find Ellie's dad's car, we don't know why it was there.
We don't know why they didn't dispose of it.
I don't even know why they didn't cover it.
Yep.
Cover it.
It was a little cover.
It was a little cover.
It was like, it was like a bikini with the bum a little off.
Yeah.
It's like the copper tone girl.
Now, the thought to it would have been very negatively affected by these Halloween
masks because she is the right age.
And but if you put it on her, the witch mask, she could make sex.
The copper tone girl.
Wasn't the copper tone girl Jody Foster.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Now, here's my other question.
They're going undercover.
Yet they killed this.
This is the daughter of the man.
Yes.
You would think that this guy who owns everything would probably go, oh, that's probably the daughter
of the guy like you were the next kid.
Or the guy would be like, who are these people?
They are not people I'm giving toys to.
They are not.
They have no why are not.
They're not like that.
They're sold today.
But that that guy and his family makes sense why they're there.
These two just appear to like want a tour or something.
You know what I mean?
They don't.
So anyway, they see the car.
She runs at it.
She's like, she goes, Papa's car.
Yeah.
And immediately when in movies people call their, their father's like, I hate Papa.
Disgusting.
Disgusting.
I hate you.
You're a grown ass woman.
Papa's car.
Don't call anybody Papa.
Blah.
Blah.
Blah.
Blah.
Blah.
I was like, ew.
Blah.
You're gross.
Disgusting lady.
I think all the weird Irishmen and suites just kind of stare at her.
And then it's a weird moment.
And then like, Cochran's like, secret ingredient.
Haha.
Like, I don't know what was going on there.
And then the next scene.
I think what he was saying is like, she was about to go find the secret ingredient.
And that's why.
Oh, that's why.
Okay.
Now, the, now I will say the next, the very next scene.
They know nothing of the major plan at this point.
Nothing.
The two lead characters.
We don't as even in the audience know the major plan.
And the next scene, the guy goes, we got to call the Marines.
Oh, yeah.
Well, why?
Dr. Sexy.
Yeah.
Dr. Sexy, like all we know is that one of these men and suites killed the man in the hospital.
We don't have to call them Marines for that.
Like, there's no other.
Why are the Marines the option?
What they should call the Marines?
We call the Marines.
You know what?
We should call the authorities.
We should talk to the police.
No, maybe they can call them Marines.
Maybe there's a sheriff.
Maybe we should, there is, there is so many levels in the hierarchy of law enforcement.
Before you're like, people, people, people, people.
Malau operator.
Connect me with the Marines.
I also like, if there's anyone whose jurisdiction this is, doesn't fall under.
Okay.
Probably the Marines.
Yep.
Now, they plan to eradicate this guy.
Instead of just killing him outright, they're going to put a mask on him and play him
the commercial, too.
Yeah.
Because they've captured him at this point.
And, I know, by the way, the daughter has been kidnapped as well.
So he escapes his binds because who the fuck knows he gets out of his binds before the commercial affection?
Surgeon town.
And then manages to foil the entire plan incredibly easy.
Oh yeah.
He sneaks into a room.
He's so weird about what he does though.
What he ultimately does.
So he finds Ellie.
He grabs the two of them get to like the main hub.
And first of all, one of my favorite moments was when they were, they need to get from
one spot to the other and they just hid behind a card of masks and the card of masks moved
across the room.
That was amazing.
But what he ends up doing is taking a bunch of those buttons that killed Marge and going
up top to this sort of like, oh wait, yes, okay.
I want to see if I want to even set up a go-go ahead and I'll say it for this.
But this is what I didn't understand.
So he ends up killing all of these robots.
Yes.
By taking those buttons that they've made.
Yes.
One box, one cardboard box of those buttons and throwing them over the railing and the buttons
somehow hit railing and start shooting.
Well because because because not what happened.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, here's the thing.
Two seconds before this and this is very important.
He goes up to a computer with no writing on it whatsoever, just blank buttons.
It's about four of them and it activates the commercial and then he runs upstairs so
the commercial is playing and then he dumps the buttons and the commercial is activating
the buttons and the buttons are shooting out the laser.
But those buttons, oh I see what you're saying.
But I still have an issue with-
They're being activated by the commercial.
Yes, I still have an issue of how he activated that commercial where he just ran up to
a faceless computer and just typed in like he just literally like the Star Wars computers.
He just hit four buttons and all of a sudden all the commercials started playing.
Shut down all the trash compactors and level D. Shut down all the trash compactors.
Now all of a sudden, they'll be then the the bad guy does the best thing ever.
The golf clap of like, mmm bravo.
You have done it.
You've done me in and then lasers come at him and he disappears.
So is he not human?
Is he not corporeal?
Because everyone else has snakes come out of him.
But he's like some sort of warlock I guess we're meant to believe, right?
He's some sort of like Irish leprechaun warlock magic type figure.
Some sort of like trickster character.
I don't know what his deal is.
But he's a piece of garbage who when he gets zapped he probably is okay.
Well do we know if he re-occurs?
He does not re-occur.
Okay.
They escape the the the the factories on fire.
Now this is where the movie gets in my opinion amazing because it gets darker.
So he's driving with he's driving with the girl and he's putting on the radio because
why not why not listen to some tunes they just they save the day.
Okay, bro.
By the way, they didn't save the day because he's still got to stop people from watching
that commercial.
Oh yeah, so he's pretty casual to be changing the radio stations.
Finding the perfect jam.
There's another part of the movie.
He's got his own children from the NEC.
Yes, there's another part of the movie earlier where they get to the town or something
and she's like, well, should we go investigate or whatever?
And he goes, eh, it can wait till tomorrow.
Like I'm almost 100% sure this cannot wait till tomorrow.
He left his post as a successful doctor in town to be an investigator.
I would be willing to guess dozens of his patients die because of his absence.
And by the way, yeah.
He leaves a hospital where for all intents and purposes, he is the only doctor.
Yes.
The biggest death toll I'm sure was at that hospital.
Oh, without a doubt.
So now he's driving and all of a sudden, Ellie attacks him, starts attacking him.
We put together very quickly that she has been killed and turned into a robot very quickly
turned into a robot.
Is that what happens to people?
See, we've never actually seen that before.
No, they just they were able to do.
No, no, I don't think.
Oh, oh,
he does explain that he makes robots.
Right.
But was she created or was she?
That's my question.
Or all the robots.
Or the robot.
Men we saw were they like at one time people?
I think they were because or no, because he said that was like when he when the lead character
touches that old woman when he breaks into the factory in her head.
The knitter off.
The knitter.
Like he goes on.
It was a very expensive piece of plant.
It's a very old model from Germany.
Yeah.
So she was once a town's person?
No, she's like I think a German person or something.
We, yeah.
But is what he's doing taking?
You're in question is your question is is he is he is he is he is he is he is he is he
you're saying is he taking human bodies and making them into robots or is he making puppets
that look like humans?
Yes, that's my question.
I don't know.
I I fucking wish I did.
And they don't even want to describe.
They don't yeah.
And if only Joan Q.
I could show up in this movie as a character from Tulle's I would know what was up.
Here's the thing he could be doing the latter because her robot is is very lifelike.
I mean, it looks exactly like a lot of them are and why and why did that robot help foil
the plan?
Ultimately that robot help foil the evil plans.
If he made this robot, that's a flaw in the machine literally.
And when did he get time that the girl had only been kidnapped for a mirror two hours
at I'm going to give him more time than I think two hours that girl's been kidnapped.
He was able to turn her into a robot and put on clothes because we kept them.
They kept on cutting to her and she was on that slab of cement.
Yeah.
All these like devices on her.
It seemed like they were turning her body into a robot.
But okay, that would be I think that would be harder.
I think it would be harder.
You think I think maybe it's this.
Maybe it's this.
Maybe there is a generic.
This is how I would do it.
If I was in their position, we have the materials to make robots.
Right.
Because we're toy factor.
Exactly.
So what you should do is you should choose like three models, like an adult man, an adult
woman, and like something else.
And then when you get people like an Ellie, you just take her skin off and put it onto
the dummy onto the robot.
And like you secure it like with staples or something in the back.
Jason, I'm going to see that's how I run it.
It's pretty cool.
Individual custom robot making would be incredibly time consuming and expensive.
All right.
Jason, I'm going to give you a different way of how I would run it.
If I was a civil master, you know what we need to do?
Evil master mind shark tank.
I would do this.
I would talk to the people who do that bodies exhibit that tours around the country where
they take human bodies.
So that is homeless Chinese people.
Homeless and prisoners and they make their bodies full of plastic.
Yeah.
That's basically the whole thing.
Yeah, it's really bad.
It's pretty.
It's pretty.
It's really bad news.
It's paid money to see that.
Yeah.
You contributed to the murder of I actually paid money because I took you on a date there.
We had a great.
We had a great date.
It was a great date.
We had together.
We had a great date.
Did that like was that like a very?
Yeah, I was going to say a very seminal experience.
Yeah, it was pretty amazing.
I put my engagement ring to her in one of their hands.
So on one of their fingers, we're like, let's take this.
Take it.
So the plate I would do it like that.
I would plasticize them and then they're full of fucking gears.
Yeah, this is what it is.
That's what's weird.
But I think you could just go into the once you put the plastic, like once you put the
plastic fluid in there, you could just drop in a couple gears.
No, what you do is you take the body.
You put similar to what they did.
You put it on that saliva cement.
And then you create a device that sucks out all of the organs to just leave a layer of
skin that you can press on like a pancake.
What about bones?
You take them all out.
The bones are gone.
This is suction.
This is vacuum suction vacuum.
What kind of suction vacuum you have?
Oh, Damon Dash.
What do you say?
Damon Dash is out.
Damon's out.
Damon's out.
Warriors still in.
You've been instilling.
You've been instilling.
Mr. Wonderful.
And.
Wait a second.
So first, in your scenario, you need to invent a machine that.
Yes, that's patented.
That sucks out organs and pulverizes and sucks out bones.
So you just left with what?
Your skin, just someone's skin and face and like.
That sounds a lot like what I did.
When I did.
Okay.
You take that skin and you put it on a robot body.
No.
Then you create the robot.
It's not about having those robot bodies because they're not going to fit every person.
Every person is different.
So you're going to custom build?
No, you just take that and you put in your organs or your wiring, which is the
same for every robot.
By the way, the rest of it was stuffing.
But by the way, the rest of it was stuffing.
By the way, those robots were filled with you.
Like with stuffing?
She's like, she's not pulling up.
She's like, yeah, basically.
Like, well, look, those robots were definitely, they're something weird there because
basically our lead character, the doctor, just punches one in the belly and his head goes
right through and then just green goo is just bubbling out.
So clearly part of their plan was just filling up with green goo.
I hope it.
Yes.
I don't know.
Get them to say, I don't know.
Fill them up with green goo and then let them go.
All right.
So the end of the movie, he fights.
She loses her head.
He has a fight with an arm, very evil dead.
But it all comes back to my favorite character in the movie.
We didn't talk about it at the top.
The gas station attendant who found Ellie's dad in the beginning and oddly enough, they
let him get really into the hospital.
And he's like, oh, sir, I'm always told that you're supposed to help people.
Unless there's trouble and I don't, is there trouble?
I want to, like this guy is the crazy, this guy has definitely seen some shit, been through
some shit.
Does not want to be blamed because he lives in a stone's throw from that factory.
Oh, but wait, he's a stone throw from that factory.
Why did the guy get brought to the hospital?
They must be close.
There's two.
Very close.
Yeah.
He's in walking distance because both guys ran to him.
But yet they seem that they were going on an adventure to go up to this other town.
Maybe it's not.
Maybe it's only a couple of tons away.
But I mean, the geography is really weird.
So anyway, they run back to that gas station attendant.
This maniac doctor basically calls up on the phone and goes, take it off.
Take it all off on every day.
I don't know who he's calling the mayor of television.
Yeah.
Take him off.
It's killing children.
It's killing children.
I'm guessing he's called the Marines.
My only guess is that he is currently on the phone with the Marine.
And the Marine.
And something he thinks, oh, this is never going to work.
And it does.
Yeah.
The commercial starts to air.
And it's like, we interrupt this program.
And then, and then, and then he changes the, and then the, then the kid, there's a kid
in front of him wearing a mask, watching the TV, changes to another channel.
The song, the song starts like, we interrupt this commercial.
And then finally, he changes to the final channel.
And I guess that, that TV station didn't get the word.
The Marines didn't get to that TV station in time.
And the commercial plays.
And I guess the idea is, many children are going to die.
Yeah, bugs, naked.
And by the way, people have brought this up.
It's a very good point.
Why not yell at the kid who's four feet in front of you?
Take off the mask.
Or just grab the mask.
No, he's just, so the movie ends darkly.
The children, the plan worked.
Or some work just not as big as they wanted it to.
And by the way, are we talking about, I don't want to get into specifics of television,
but I'm going to have to say, I imagine that these are local commercials, not national
commercials.
And local, very, very northern California, as the title card say.
And then they cut to Dayton, Ohio.
They're like, I mean, it's like all over the place.
Film critic, like Jim Harper called Wallace's plot deeply flawed.
He says, any plot dependent on stealing a chunk of Stonehenge, shipping it across the
Atlantic is going to be shaky.
But there are four times zones across the United States.
So how can, how it is, it would be staggered.
So New York, the commercial would have already aired.
But at the time it got to New York, the California.
So basically, yeah, he saved everyone in California, but everybody else is fucked.
Yes.
Now, this is my favorite review of this movie, Vincent Canbey from the New York Times.
I thought it was worth reading.
And he goes, Vincent Canbey struggled to aptly define this film.
He says, how long have you three managed his manages, the not easy feat of being anti-children,
anti-capitalism, anti-television, and anti-irish all the same time?
I mean, that is true.
This movie is amazing.
It costs $2.5 million to make.
And it's opening weekend.
It made 6.3.
It was a gross 14.4 million.
So it was a huge ship, but did nothing, and comparatively, too.
The movies that came out that year, like, Pulitzer Guys, which made 76, Friday the 13th
Part III, which made 34 in Creepshow, which made 21.
Now obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are other people who have other
opinions.
Now it is time for a second opinion.
Just a word out there to anyone who is inclined.
You can make your own second opinion theme, and we will drop it in if it beats that one.
It probably will.
All right.
These are great.
And if you want my Acapella, it's all right.
We should maybe all join in.
We should give him a little track.
That will track.
All right.
So you give him a little something.
Oh.
What was it?
Do we want it to be close to that, or does it matter?
Anything.
Oh, these are second opinions from top to bottom crazy movies are fun.
Do you want to give one?
Second opinion, second opinion, then I'd your first, but they're going to be a second.
From the jips of Amazon, they come.
Second opinions for everyone.
Second opinions.
Second opinions.
All right.
Here we go.
Second opinions.
Micah.
We got to get the guy who sang the...
Oh, yeah, the crash test.
Dummies guy.
That guy just sang the song.
That voice was so deep.
Oh, man.
We should get the guy.
There was this boy.
Who?
Garden true or an accident.
Oh, my God.
That's terrible song.
Can we just get Eli Braden, the guy who does all the Howard Stern, Rob and Son.
Oh, yeah.
Let's get all of them.
Yeah, it's getting that guy.
We're waiting to do it.
Let's get Mikey to do it.
Let's get that opera guy to do it.
Oh, my God.
The opera guy.
All right.
The one thing I learned from second opinions this week is that a lot of people don't know how
to spell Michael.
Mike Myers has brought up in pretty much everyone.
But Michael writes, on the profanity meter, I give it one strike.
A few words, but this film is another reason I love this movie so much.
Very little profanity involved here.
You can sit back and actually enjoy it without having to cringe every time someone opens
their mouth.
I even find the most scary and gory films are so much more enjoyable when little profanity
is used.
Five stars.
Yeah.
That's fucking great.
And then it's five stars.
This is another great one from Go Birds.
Director Tommy Lee Wallace effectively used the alter theory when he crafted this concise
and disturbing view of Halloween and its ramifications on American society and more
ace.
His producer, John Carpenter, allowed Wallace to effectively spin his tail of fate of
adolescence when they shrug the responsibilities of family life.
Parents should be warned.
This is not suitable for young children under any circumstances.
Five stars.
By the way, that's not what it's about.
It's not about adolescents shrugging their responsibilities.
They're kids.
They're going out trick or treating.
Although that first scene with the kids, they are really annoying when they're in the
house and the mom wants to get them to eat and they just, they do run to the TV.
Yeah.
Little zombies.
Yeah, kids love TV.
Yeah.
They do.
Speaking of which, you have fucking idiots.
We have a dumb kids.
We go away from the stupid TV.
You dumb little fucking kids.
They love it.
They love it.
We have a kids review here.
Talk about a mass murderer.
That guy publicizes this product enough to get it to Abercrombie level.
That's what he wrote.
It's really weird though that kids would be racing the tune into a commercial at 9 p.m.
on Halloween.
It's prime trick or treating time.
Guys, this movie is fucking stupid.
I have no like, I mean, the plot is insane.
Two more reviews.
I have a few of them because they're so good.
KW, KM Morris writes, this movie has it all.
This movie has all the essential key components for a great horror movie.
Food, plot, atmosphere, five stars.
Oh my god, that's it.
That's it.
Mood, plot, atmosphere.
Yes.
MPA.
What is atmosphere mean?
I guess it's spooky atmosphere.
Oh man, you know what?
I totally love that movie.
It was like full of mood and plot, but you know what?
There wasn't enough atmosphere for me.
And it's not a good horror movie.
Not a good horror movie.
It was like a B-minus for lack of atmosphere.
And finally, Pumpkin Head.
This guy was pretty great.
He goes, I think this film gives you, oh sorry.
I have to sometimes navigate bag grammar.
So this movie really makes you think, I bet you this could really happen.
I give it five stars for the cinematography.
And I like the scene after the boy's face explodes with snakes.
And Tom is just watching it.
Five stars.
These, everybody's an asshole.
Hey, Pumpkin Head, you're an asshole.
Just so you guys know, Jamie Lee Curtis did uncredited voice work in this movie.
Really?
And the voice of the people saying, go home, go etch the curfew voice.
And telephone operator.
So that tie together, Halloween.
I just want to take this moment to apologize to Pumpkin Head.
I didn't mean it.
You know what I said, Pumpkin Head.
You're great.
Would you guys recommend this movie?
No, yes.
I think you should watch it.
I definitely think you should watch it.
Here's the thing.
Here's what I will say.
Sure, fine, watch it.
But if you are looking for like a scary movie to watch and you haven't seen Sleepaway
camp.
Yeah, that's a different.
This is definitely like, this was a bit of a letdown.
I mean, this is, it's bonkers.
As you can tell, it is bonkers.
And it's weird.
I think you would enjoy it.
It's more weird than, I guess I can't expect it.
It's more weird than scary.
It's more scary.
It's more scary.
There's not a lot of spooks.
For a long time, I thought Michael Myers was going to be in the movie.
So I was genuinely confused when like 45 minutes in, he had not appeared.
No, he only appears in scenes from how he knew that.
I would have been less, maybe I would have been more into the movie.
Yeah, I kept trying to figure it out.
Like, well, is that guy going to turn into Mike Myers?
Well, I think one of the main plot points that connects them is that it's about masks.
I'm talking about Austin Myers.
Mike Myers.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We do that with that.
Okay.
Hey, I knew the villain Michael Myers was not in this movie, but I assumed Mike Myers from
this from my memory.
Yeah, so I married an ax murderer.
Yes, center in it live.
All those great things.
Let's get into it, guys.

No, I don't need to plug anything.
All right.
I do want to say thank you to whoever the guy is who drew that awesome poster of us.
That's this isn't a plug or anything, but like I, that some guy do an awesome poster
