Air. 16 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,800 I feel it, baby. I'm all all ready, hey? 17 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:41,880 I love it Sir, I I have been wanting to sit down and talk 18 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,080 with you since I saw the last video store, so I can't believe 19 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800 you're here. Well, I can't believe you 20 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,240 reached out to me. Thanks man. 21 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,040 It was funny because I'm like, has he seen the movie or does he 22 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400 just know I'm one of the, the the few, you know, defenders of 23 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,680 video store culture and have have a video source which would 24 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,200 be fascinating enough to talk about obviously as well. 25 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,360 Yes, Sir. Combination of the both I 26 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,480 suppose and I'll take it. You know, when I saw the movie, 27 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,800 which it caused me to deep dive into who you were because I, I 28 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,880 had no idea. You know, you live all the way 29 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,520 over there in Canada, so I had no idea that you were like a 30 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,640 real deal, you know, champion of cinema. 31 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,400 And once I started looking into you, I was like, I think we may 32 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,280 have been, you know, separated at birth because we're very, 33 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,080 very similar. It's crazy. 34 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,080 Yeah, it's, well, it's funny because like, you know, some 35 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,640 people have kids to leave their legacy and other people just 36 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:48,120 make a silly little movie about what their life was about. 37 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,320 So kid, deal with then I can't afford it. 38 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,640 So hell, let's make a micro budget movie instead about 39 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,320 videos for life. And yeah, it's it's crazy 40 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,080 because most people have seen the movie that have reached out 41 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,200 to me from other parts of the world, whether they like the 42 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,520 movie or like, yeah, the movie was great. 43 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,160 But then they're they're more blown away. 44 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,200 Like, wait a minute, you actually have a video store? 45 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,720 Are you at this point? Are you just kind of playing 46 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,640 yourself? But I'm like that's it's about 47 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,640 an 80% exaggerated version of me, but it it's me to a certain 48 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,400 degree. So yeah, it's, it's been pretty 49 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,640 cool just to get the discussion about video stores and and 50 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,800 physical media back in the in the limelight, I suppose. 51 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240 Way I liken it, whenever I recommend this movie to people, 52 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,120 which I do constantly, is because I always push Holliston 53 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,840 on people. I don't know if you're a fan of 54 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,640 the TV show Holliston. Yeah, like I did a podcast with 55 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,040 Joe Lynch actually had us on the show there a couple months ago. 56 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,000 So there you go. Yeah, I, I dug Holliston. 57 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,520 I remember the first time I watched it, though. 58 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,200 I have both seasons in the store. 59 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,200 But I was like, damn it, what's up with that horrible laugh 60 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,160 track? You know, I always laugh tracks. 61 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,760 I'm like, oh, no, I get it. You know, there. 62 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,840 It's a throwback. That was well, Holliston is is 63 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,760 The Big Bang Theory for horror movie fans. 64 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,200 And it, it doesn't because I feel like Big Bang Theory kind 65 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,520 of mocks or downplays nerd culture a little bit. 66 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,960 It's, it's a little kind of a little bit of a slap in the 67 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,760 face. But they started dialing it in, 68 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:17,839 you know, deeper as the seasons went. 69 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,040 But Holliston to me is like so many deep cuts. 70 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,400 So many deep cuts and with yeah, I I was never a fan of The Big 71 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Bang Theory. I don't understand how it lasted 72 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,760 13 seasons. And. 73 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,240 Well, it's like you said, I almost found it was like a 74 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,880 menstrual show for nerds, you know? 75 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,080 It was like, we're not like that. 76 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,080 I mean, we're cool, man. Yeah. 77 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,760 It's a little condescending and Holliston is not, but yeah, 78 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,000 you'd like it with Holliston. They definitely play like 79 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,040 shittier versions of themselves. And it's not not to say you play 80 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,320 a shitty version of yourself, but you know what I mean? 81 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,080 You kind of lean into the like lone dude running the video 82 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,920 store and. Living in a store, yeah, that's 83 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,280 that's the big question I get asked. 84 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:01,080 Do I actually live in the real video store? 85 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,520 No, no, luckily I don't. So if it came to it, I consider 86 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,200 it just to keep the. So before I get into like all 87 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,280 these other questions, I got to ask you this because we we watch 88 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,200 the special features and we were blown away at the set 89 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,200 construction, the building of the faux video store, right? 90 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,960 So how close to your real video store layout is the faux video 91 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,160 store? Very close actually. 92 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,000 Dimensions are almost identical both if both stores are basement 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,520 stores if you will. My store is a basement store. 94 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,840 The couch in the corner where the TV is that that's basically 95 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,680 the same life the the the desk made out of VHS tapes. 96 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,080 That's all true. Like I said, the only difference 97 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,240 is my bathroom does not have a bath in it and it's not nearly 98 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,040 that grimy. You got to play up the grime, 99 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,880 you know? Play up the grime. 100 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,680 And then the biggest replacement is for the fake movie we had to 101 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,560 make like 4000 fake VHS tapes where the the fake store is just 102 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000 VHS. Obviously the real store, it's 103 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,480 for K Blu-ray DVD and VHS. So it's a little bit of yeah, 104 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,040 yeah. The real store is way more 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,560 cluttered with, with memorabilia and and stuff like that. 106 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,720 I've had the real store for I just had my 20th anniversary 107 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,440 over the summer and it's turning into a museum because people in 108 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,880 my city, they've donated like trinkets and collectibles to the 109 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,280 store. It's like paying tribute to the 110 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:35,320 video store and I'll never say no that goes by something new 111 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,920 shows up. My store is littered with Jaws 112 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,200 memorabilia because they don't was just my favorite movie of 113 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,880 all time. But but yeah, dimension wise, 114 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,520 pretty close. All the short films leading up 115 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,160 to the movie, those were actually shot in my real video 116 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,600 store. I met my directors as customers 117 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,800 in my video store and. Is that how you met Steve 118 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,280 Kostanski as well? OK, so with Steve, aside from 119 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:04,280 having the video store which has made no money in 20 years, but 120 00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,880 what it has given me the luxury to do, We started a Film 121 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,720 Festival here in our city, was called Dead Fest and we ran it 122 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960 for 13 years. We'd take over to local cinema 123 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,720 for a week in October. We would bring in cult cool 124 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680 movies and retro ones and if we could afford it, we'd fly in 125 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,360 after as a guest. So I met Steve Costanski when we 126 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,920 we flew him in for Father's Day in 2000. 127 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:33,480 So Steve, Matt, Adam, Connor, we met all those guys and then we 128 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,160 kept they kept coming back. So he kept showing Man Borg and 129 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,080 then the editor. And then we shot a web series in 130 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,360 2015 that almost feels like a follow up to the movie. 131 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160 Like if you can find the web series it is on YouTube, it's 132 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,320 called straight to Video AB Movie Odyssey. 133 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,720 The web series actually opens up with me attempting to burn down 134 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,880 my score because I've lost everything. 135 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,840 But first I'm going to play a magical be a beta tape of all 136 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,240 things and I get sucked into the TV instead of stuff coming out 137 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,000 of the TV. So episodes me bouncing from 1B 138 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,920 movie to another like quantum leafers. 139 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,960 I got to use my movie magic, and that's the first time we 140 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,680 actually got introduced to Beaver Lake massacre action 141 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200 Jackson. We just and the praise stalker. 142 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400 We just brought that all back for the movie and like, well, 143 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,920 what worked and how can we do this movie, you know, in 80 144 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,400 minutes? I love that. 145 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,400 It's it's a funny story. We were so I live in Edmonton, 146 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,200 AB, which is Western Canada, but because we couldn't shoot it in 147 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,120 in my real store for reasons and the well lighting crews, they 148 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,720 were all out in Toronto, which is Eastern Canada, of course. 149 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,720 So we shot the movie about 45 minutes outside of Toronto and 150 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,600 Hamilton. And while we were shooting the 151 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,320 movie, they were also shooting in a violent nature at the same 152 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,760 time. And so the the dummy in the last 153 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,720 video store after Matt gets capitated is laying there. 154 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600 Well, I, we had that dummy laying there for a couple days 155 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,040 on set and the boys coming. Hey, you guys done with the, 156 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,440 the, the the dummy yet? Like, why? 157 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,720 Like, well, Chad, shoot this movie up in the woods that we 158 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,440 eat that same dummy. So there is a it's funny that 159 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,400 that dummy was used both in a violent nature and the last 160 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,560 video store. I thought that was. 161 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,400 I love that sidebar. I love that movie. 162 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,200 That movie is so fucking amazing. 163 00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:23,040 I I don't know why. Like, I don't know why no one 164 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,640 had thought of that, You know what I mean? 165 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:31,040 Like just follow the killer. Yeah, I mean, for me, like that 166 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,520 movie is so divisive. Talking to my customers in the 167 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,440 video store, some, some guys love it. 168 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,040 I've sold the shit out of it many a times, but I get to feel 169 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,560 that don't like it too, because they're like ah cab. 170 00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,000 I mean the kills are cool, but then it's just 20 minute nature 171 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,080 walks in between. I'm like, yeah, I said, you know 172 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,600 what? The game of the, the the movie 173 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,320 reminded me straight up was the 510th video game where you're 174 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,400 and you're like, OK, where are the kids? 175 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Where are the kids? God, I'm just walking around. 176 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760 It's taking forever. And then you get that 30 seconds 177 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,080 of gratification when you fight, when you find one of the kids, 178 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600 like, fuck yeah, man, I'm going to kill the shit out of them. 179 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,960 And you do. And it's like, OK, back to 180 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,680 walking. We go again until we can 181 00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:11,800 hopefully find the next kid. That's who he was. 182 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,160 And and if you enjoy it, great. But it's it's not for everybody. 183 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,320 But yeah, we're getting a sequel, so. 184 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,040 I, I am all for it. I, I think, you know, when 185 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,600 someone comes along and takes something that we've seen a 186 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,640 billion times and they just, they just tweak the formula just 187 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,960 enough, you know, because it is like you said, the dialogue and 188 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,040 everything is, is straight and afterthought. 189 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,640 It's, it's cheese. It's it's in the distance, you 190 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,240 know, because we're just following this killer. 191 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:49,280 But the way that it feels is, is just so refreshing compared to 192 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,160 like if it had just been a standard slasher film. 193 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,400 So it's like we've seen this a billion times, but we've never 194 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,840 seen it from this angle. And that's literally the selling 195 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,600 point is like this angle is nice. 196 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,840 So you know what I mean. And I know, I know it threw a 197 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,560 lot of people off. There was no like musical score. 198 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,480 There's there's nothing, right. I mean, just to add to what they 199 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,560 were going for. So again, it was they took a 200 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:15,360 chance and it it you know, it it there, there's a huge audience 201 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,640 for it. It was a success. 202 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,280 And yeah, bring on Part 2. Let's see if they can make any 203 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,000 crazier kills. That's going to be a tough. 204 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,680 So is there plans for a last video store Part 2? 205 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,880 Like is that I know you said you did the web series thing, but 206 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,920 like, is there a plan for a, you know, continuation of the story? 207 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,240 I, I'd love to. I mean, it's so, it's so meta 208 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,920 for me because I knew people of my generation or video store 209 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,600 that remember video stores would, would get something out 210 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,120 of it, you know, because the video store is a very universal 211 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120 theme, right? You know, it doesn't matter what 212 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,480 part of the world you're from. I mean, everybody had a video 213 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,960 store. So I mean, if if I don't know if 214 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,840 somebody would give us foolishly a little bit more money to to do 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,920 a follow up. I mean, the idea of like me and 216 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,040 cast are bouncing from movie to movie together. 217 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,120 Like the ending was obviously a cheesy tribute to the 95 Mortal 218 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,440 Kombat at the very end. You know, it never worked out. 219 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,560 We were hoping that at the last minute we could have convinced 220 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,240 Steve to give us permission to use Psycho Morman at the very 221 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,480 end. But like, now we'll just do our 222 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,400 own thing kind of thing because stuff that would have been kind 223 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,160 of funny to tie the universe because there is a we've known, 224 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,720 like I said, I mean, with the cameos in our movie with with, 225 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,560 you know, that's Adam Brooks as the bad guy in the The Fury of 226 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,280 the Viper movie. And of course, Matt Kennedy is 227 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,960 as Dougie Taggarts from Beaver Lake Massacre. 228 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,720 Yeah. Astron 6 guys, yeah. 229 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,680 Yeah, they're all in there, right. 230 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,760 And then you might have missed it, but it really 231 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,320 unintentionally just made the most can exploitation movie ever 232 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:03,280 because at the beginning, the movie that, yeah, Vanessa is 233 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,760 watching on the television before I make my entrance, 234 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,240 that's our buddies from Turbo Kid and Summer of 84, of course, 235 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,640 that made that. And then Lowell Dean, the 236 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040 director of Wolf Cop and Dark Match. 237 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,200 He is the commentator at the Beaver Lake Massacre movie. 238 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,400 He is the because Lowell was shooting dark match with Chris 239 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,320 Jericho in my city in Edmonton here and I dragged him into the 240 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,720 video store.

This was a bit different for me 261 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,640 because I fly out there and aside from my 2 directors, Tim 262 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200 and Cody, who are my buddies, and Josh who played Jackson, 263 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,840 we've all been friends for over a decade. 264 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,600 Everybody else, the lighting guys, the the camera guys make 265 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,960 them as they don't know who I am. 266 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,400 They're hired. They're they're from, they live 267 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,480 out east. So my first day on the set and 268 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,640 we shot the movie in order is literally when I'm walking and 269 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,080 introducing myself to Vanessa and he, I was like, holy shit, 270 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,040 there's like 10 people behind the camera staring at me holding 271 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,520 booms and running the rigs and everything. 272 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,200 And I'm like, oh wow, they think I'm a real actor. 273 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,760 Like I had the worst imposter syndrome ever, right? 274 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,520 So, but it was a 15 day shoot and I wanted to get to know all 275 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,520 the grips and everybody. I was, you know, smoking with 276 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,960 the sound guys outside and I haven't, but I, I didn't want 277 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640 that. And but once they, they realize 278 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,080 like, oh, you actually have a video store where you're from? 279 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,360 Like, yeah, man, that's why we're doing this super passion 280 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,320 project for us. And so the guys, I didn't know 281 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,440 us, they got invested in the project too. 282 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,880 Like they worked overtime the last day of filming principal 283 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,080 photography. We filmed 23 hours that day 284 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,320 because we knew it was, it was like, this is it. 285 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,360 We got to pack our shit up and go back home. 286 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,840 And then we did all the reshoots out in Vancouver where Tim and 287 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,920 Cody live. So yeah, that. 288 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880 Is a rough that's rough man 23 hours. 289 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,440 We we, we knew like scheduling wise we like we had 15 days plus 290 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,600 after 10 of the 1st 15 after that COVID kicked in and we all 291 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,400 got down. Vanessa got COVID and one of my 292 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,120 directors of COVID and it was up to the guys who were like paying 293 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,360 the money to get this thing made. 294 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,720 Judging by the footage. Should we shut this whole thing 295 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,280 down or do we pay an extra week of Airbnb's in the city where 296 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,280 nobody lives in to front to this cast and crew of 25 people? 297 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,840 Luckily they were happy with what we had shot so far. 298 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,320 So they forked a little bit more money. 299 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,680 I mean, it was super micro budget movie. 300 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,640 We pitched it at the world the film market in in Montreal at 301 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,920 the Fantasia Film Festival.

This is something different, you 311 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,760 know? Yeah, it was it was it was a 312 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040 hectic. Even though the world premiere 313 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,160 in Austin, TX a a fantastic best, the movie still wasn't 314 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240 done. It was like percent done and it 315 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,079 was it was it was tough sitting in that world premiere. 316 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:07,800 So I'm like missing.

It's called Tape Head, The 333 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:09,200 return of Jacob Cobb. I've heard of this release. 334 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,280 Yeah, we released it on Blu-ray. Yeah, I need to send you a copy. 335 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,240 Dude. That was a a weird challenge 336 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,800 that we had because we set a goal and originally we we were 337 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,320 like for 20 grand we could make something pretty gnarly and we 338 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,520 didn't hit the 20 grand. I think we were in between like 339 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,480 7 and $8000. And originally the plan was 340 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,600 like, go to Airbnb's and shoot in, you know, shoot different 341 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,920 locations. But then when we only had like 342 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,840 $7500, I was like, hey, babe, what do you think about us 343 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280 shooting it in our own house? And, you know, that way if 344 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,920 anything gets damaged, it's, you know, on us. 345 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,760 So, you know, you just have a slasher kill everyone in one 346 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,160 central location. Kind of all off Friday the 13th 347 00:18:53,160 --> 00:19:00,960 for what was my inspiration. And it's a cheesy, you know, not 348 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,720 great movie, but it was like my first, you know, first feature. 349 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,920 So yeah. Yeah. 350 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040 But you know, when you have a location like the video store, 351 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,160 dude, you have so many unique things that you can do. 352 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,320 And I mean, you've you feel that time. 353 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,000 There's no lulls in that movie. Yeah, I mean, and of course, you 354 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480 know, I think my directors, they definitely went like with the 355 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,160 Edgar Wright style of like smash cuts and and a lot of you know, 356 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,560 and of course you can cheat because you have the fake movies 357 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,320 within the movie too. And my favorite thing was, well, 358 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,280 I love the music in it. That was my friend Brandon 359 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,240 Boucher, who was our camera guy for all the shorts, but he 360 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,640 couldn't film the movie because of reasons. 361 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,920 She was super bummed out. But then we ran out of money for 362 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,720 the music score. And then luckily, his second 363 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,640 talent was music. This is his first attempt at 364 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,320 ever doing a score, and he hammered out like 70 tracks in 365 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,000 two months. We could probably pay him. 366 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,600 There's a vinyl release of it, too. 367 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,640 It's beautiful. The the record is like Prince 368 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,880 purple Rain purple. It's very. 369 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,000 That's amazing. Yeah. 370 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,400 And the other big thing I love was the the lighting. 371 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Like, I love when, like, Pray Stalker was green and Beaver, 372 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,080 like Massacre was, you know, blue And. 373 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,960 And then obviously Gary was like orangey fiery red and. 374 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,360 It's not, the movie's not an anthology, but it kind of feels 375 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:25,560 like an anthology, you know, it's like 3 different stories 376 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,640 that just kind of get smashed together and. 377 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600 I I also, I also really like my wife and I talk about this all 378 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,960 the time. Like if if you're in charge and 379 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,760 you're making an indie, but an indie movie with a low budget, 380 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:47,680 the The Cardinal Sin is just white, sterile, boring lighting. 381 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,840 You know what I mean? You go back to the Italian 382 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,720 slashers and, and, and the jello stuff and everything like that. 383 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,440 So blue equals night time green is like gross, you know, red. 384 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,400 And so I love when a movie is not afraid to be like this. 385 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,920 Doesn't have to be motivated lighting, you know what I mean? 386 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,600 It doesn't need to be motivated. It's just colorful for the sake 387 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,720 of color. The weird thing is we had to 388 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,360 rewrite on the spot so much stuff like like the the actual 389 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:18,600 filming script is quite different than how the movie 390 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,480 turned out. I know the ending was completely 391 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,880 different. We reshot the ending in in in 392 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,560 Vancouver, actually the the corner of the the video store 393 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,680 where the television was when we tore the set down, we had to 394 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,600 ship that one corner across the country for reshoots. 395 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,760 So yeah, the original ending, it was very different. 396 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,120 Did the magnet idea was the last minute like fuck dude, like 397 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:45,000 let's just go with the magnets. It's the most obvious simple 398 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,920 answer. You know that out inglorious 399 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,640 Basterds with the with the, the film, the how it's flammable and 400 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,960 stuff. And like, let's just quickly 401 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,400 explain the audience how this work or even the whole idea of 402 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,120 like where did the curse tape come from? 403 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:02,120 Why is it curse? And I said we, we made-up that 404 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:05,760 scene where I just explain it to her in like 2 minutes on set 405 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,040 like it's a cursed ape to put it in bad things happen. 406 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,880 What can I say? You know, as simple as that. 407 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,280 You don't need a back story. Like this is a horror movie 408 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,400 genre audience, you know, like just, they don't need the, the, 409 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480 the, the long wind of it or the legend of, of how this tape 410 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,160 make. Maybe they'll cap the sequel, 411 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,720 who knows, but probably not I. Mean ambiguity is is just fine. 412 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,560 You know we did. We literally did the same thing 413 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,520 with tape head. His rewinder is cursed. 414 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,680 Why? Because. 415 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:38,760 Because just because. Yeah. 416 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,240 Yeah. And it, it works. 417 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:42,040 People want to know. People ask me all the time. 418 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,560 I get messages all the time. Why? 419 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,400 I, I don't know, I guess you'll have to wait until we do another 420 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,800 one if that ever happens, you know, but it is what it is. 421 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,520 All right.

But now they picked up all the B 576 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,840 movies that maybe Scream Factory and Arrow are like, no, no, no, 577 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,480 these are below us.

It's 1975, directed by Wes 587 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160 Craven. It was a Wes Craven movie that I 588 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,320 did not know existed. And he made it after he did The 589 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,880 Last House on the Left. Apparently he couldn't get a gig 590 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,040 after that for a few years. So he took the money and said 591 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,240 yes to making this porno. And my girlfriend's like, we 592 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,120 need to watch this. Like, yeah. 593 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,360 Because I want to see if you can tell, aside from the obvious sex 594 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,640 stuff, that this was shot by a director. 595 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,440 And, man, the writing's great and ignited that He got his good 596 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,920 buddy David Hess Krug from last House for the movie. 597 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,280 Too. Nice. 598 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,920 And what in the movie? A lot not having sex, though. 599 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,120 I mean, he plays like a devil God type of character. 600 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,840 He's sort of like a top hat as art. 601 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,920 And yeah, he never spoke of it like in the actual film, like it 602 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,080 says directed by Wes Craven on the case, but on the film itself 603 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,720 it's a fake name. But yeah, I mean, he got paid 604 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,440 and then you know, boom, a few months later he got the Hills, 605 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,720 The Hills Have Eyes gig and the rest is history is. 606 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,480 That right around the time because he did that weird 607 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,840 invitation to hell. Yeah, I think after The Hills 608 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,480 Have Eyes wasn't all. They're pretty close because he 609 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,880 did an invitation to hell and then he also had the Summer of 610 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,320 Beer with Linda Blair. Yeah. 611 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,400 Yeah, I wish I liked that one a little more. 612 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,040 I I I I'm not a great big fan of that one, but. 613 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,720 Yeah, but you know, it's it's like you have to you have to see 614 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,880 them all right. I mean, so now I'm like, well, 615 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,600 I've seen all the Wes Craven Movies Now, I think. 616 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440 But I'm still convinced now for pound out of all the great 617 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,600 directors that era, like it took me years to accept it. 618 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,000 But hands down the the the the one who had banger after banger 619 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,880 that cannot be topped is John Carpenter. 620 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,480 Like it's, it's not even close. Yeah, and it's funny because 621 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,480 Carpenter doesn't, like, necessarily care for some of his 622 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,800 stuff or like critics weren't kind to it. 623 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,360 And it's all awesome. It's all awesome. 624 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,520 It it is and it's weird because we people forget that like, 625 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,320 well, you, you won't, but most of his stuff did not do well in 626 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,600 theaters. Like it bombed. 627 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,720 And again, man, we can go all over the place this 628 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,680 conversation, but this is how cult movies are built up because 629 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,600 people discover them at the video stores in the 80s or late 630 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,640 night cable and that they get talked about and, and they get 631 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,400 passed forward and passed to buddies and they're traded 632 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,000 without with the streaming world we live in now, I feel the whole 633 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,400 identity of a cult movie, which means it takes a while to find 634 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,520 the audience, but eventually it'll it'll get a fan base. 635 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,760 I'm scared that that's going to go away now because there's just 636 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,440 there's so much content out there that's being piled on, 637 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,400 piled on, piled that something that was new two or three months 638 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,719 ago on the streaming site and it's only exclusively on the 639 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,639 streaming site. It's going to be forgotten about 640 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,400 unless you're literally searching for it. 641 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,920 It's not pop.

I think like that, that's a big, 645 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,280 also a big problem is attention span. 646 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,920 You know, when you're scrolling and you're just looking at 647 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,040 you're looking at covers, but you're not really looking at 648 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,320 covers.

They follow me when we were 1180 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,000 shooting the movie. They weren't going to follow 1181 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,880 when I went last year for a Film Festival there. 1182 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,760 Luckily they couldn't, but they got this all in film. 1183 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,120 And I'm I'm on the crowds all pumped. 1184 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,120 And I'm like blubbering already, you know, I'm all emotional, 1185 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,280 just a absolute wreck. But hey, that's some good 1186 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,120 things. Dude, you know, life is rad. 1187 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:04,520 It really is. I always say when like whenever 1188 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,440 we do little like conventions or whatever, and you know, we take 1189 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,000 our little micro budget movie and and a lot of kids, you know, 1190 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,000 like kids come up and want to like look at the monster mask 1191 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,400 and stuff like that.

And be good, be good to people 1194 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,040 you know. It's not a hard formula to 1195 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:29,120 follow. It really is. 1196 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,840 It's funny you mention kids. I was going to bring this up 1197 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,560 earlier. I figured the people that grew 1198 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,880 up on video store culture, we're going to get something out of 1199 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,840 our movie. In fact, the earlier views, like 1200 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,040 the movies got a lot of heart, which I thought, oh, that's just 1201 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,160 a nice way of saying you tried guys, but you gave it all. 1202 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,600 But no, well said. It was. 1203 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,840 There's that one scene in the movie where I'm sitting in the 1204 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,360 bedroom with Vanessa and I'm like, you know, well, I used to 1205 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,000 get paid to talk movies and then people stopped coming or 1206 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,640 something like that, right. And I guess that, but I've had 1207 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:03,360 buddies show like their 10 year old kids our movie because I, I 1208 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,400 think I've sold about 700 units through the store through arrow 1209 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,520 alone. But anyways, this one kid comes 1210 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,840 in and he's like 6 and he's with the sister. 1211 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,640 He's about 7 and and the dad's like my son has a question for 1212 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,720 you. And then the kids like, how did 1213 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,040 you get back to the video store? And I'm like, oh shit, as a six 1214 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,600 year old, they think it's real. And it's very because I do have 1215 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,920 a video store. So I had to explain to him that 1216 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,680 after me and Caster bounced through a few movies, Caster 1217 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,760 told me I had to go back and open the video store in his 1218 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,840 loving Jason manner, you know, And then, but then I thought it 1219 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,200 was cool. I have the cursed tape, the 1220 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,840 prop, it's behind my desk. I thought it was cool to show 1221 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,680 the little boy the tape.

No one can buy things from my 1260 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,040 video store, they just borrow. So if you need some more, if you 1261 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,600 need some some pictures this. Video of my real store to give 1262 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,800 you an idea how it looks. I know there's a bunch on my 1263 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,880 Instagram if you scroll way down, but I'll I can send you 1264 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,720 some images. So you have a rough idea of how 1265 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,120 close the store actually is to the movie. 1266 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,920 Yeah, I I would love that because like you said, like with 1267 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,920 the movie. You don't have nearly as many 1268 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,880 like cutouts and whatnot because obviously blocking, right? 1269 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,960 You got to like, you can't have shit in the way. 1270 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,720 Cool reasons too, right? The idea of filming in the real 1271 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,080 video. Store was autumn, everything 1272 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,160 would be blurred out. You'd have to blur things out. 1273 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,040 We don't have the rights to have that Evil Dead poster or the pit 1274 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:17,760 stand up that's in my store. And luckily we Charles Band gave 1275 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,320 us the rights for free to show any full moon thing in the 1276 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,040 store. He just said, yeah, go for it. 1277 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:26,200 Lloyd Kaufman, same thing. And obviously Drafthouse films. 1278 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,960 That's why you see like Blake and Fright and and obviously the 1279 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,840 Aspirant 6 stuff was everywhere. That's, well, like, I mean, I 1280 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:37,120 know it's not the same thing. It's not here anymore, but in my 1281 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,040 set I have a lot of little posters. 1282 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,160 And so like we have modified like the Prom Night poster and 1283 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,280 it's called the Stabber. And I changed the, you know, 1284 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,320 it's all a bunch of Italian names and it's like when he 1285 01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,760 stabs you, you die as the tagline, you know, like a bunch 1286 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,440 of mod modified stuff. So you're not like, look at all 1287 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,480 this copyright shit. Funny you mentioned prom night. 1288 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,320 Just so you know, I live in.

And obviously, if you remember 1468 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,240 that scene, there's just too much to laugh at. 1469 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:37,880 Who cannot die laughing when he throws the the the the I threw 1470 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:39,240 that shit before I came in the room. 1471 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,000 I was literally just going to say I quote that like on a daily 1472 01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:42,520 basis.

Yeah, yeah. 1499 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,600 That story is great. Speaking of a a slaps to the 1500 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,560 face that were did you know you remember the Stallone movie 1501 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,640 Oscar where he it's a mafia comedy. 1502 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,640 He came out in 91. I don't think I've ever seen 1503 01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,920 that one only bombed, but you you should give it a watch. 1504 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,720 Tim Curry, Marisa. Tomei Chaz, Palma, Terry, great 1505 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:23,440 movie and Stallone showed like like I know he did stop a model 1506 01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:24,960 shoot which was terrible, but this was. 1507 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,520 There's an opening scene where Stallone Kirk Douglas plays his 1508 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,520 father and he's dying on the bed and he promises him he'll make 1509 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,640 the business go legit. No more gangster shit. 1510 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,800 Well, the story goes that Kirk Douglas was apparently supposed 1511 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,440 to be Richard Krena's role in First Blood, but it didn't work 1512 01:17:41,440 --> 01:17:42,920 out. I guess Douglas kind of blames 1513 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,320 Stallone on that, so cut the Oscar. 1514 01:17:45,440 --> 01:17:49,080 That scene allowed Kirk Douglas to slap Stallone across the 1515 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:50,840 face. And if you watch it over the 1516 01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,440 scene, oh, he bitch slapped him hard. 1517 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,760 He said there, Now we're even 10 years left. 1518 01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,400 Here's your receipt.

My igloo to podcast. 1527 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,680 This one for you guys, but you know, I I thought I'd they can 1528 01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,720 look respectable, like we actually have walls and stuff. 1529 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:24,880 You know, well, honestly, my favorite season is it's neither 1530 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,400 Fall, fall, autumn is the. Greatest season of them all I. 1531 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,240 Fucking love autumn. It gets a bad rap because winter 1532 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,560 is next. Yeah, where I live, obviously it 1533 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,760 can.

Like I've only had that happen a 1540 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,920 couple times where I'm visiting friends or or relatives and I'm 1541 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,760 like, where's the snow, dude? Like I need it, man. 1542 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:59,320 I need it. But yeah, if I had to pick, I'd 1543 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,320 say summer because it's a dry heat up here. 1544 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,720 Like, so it's not humid. I don't know how people like in 1545 01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,560 Florida or even Austin when I was down there. 1546 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:12,000 It's so humid, dude, like next to you, at least here. 1547 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,240 Well, even in the winter time, it's a dry cold too. 1548 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,080 So if you're bundled up, you're fine. 1549 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:21,920 But if if you're like nor E like like Toronto or maybe Boston or 1550 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,600 somewhere around there like it, it cuts through you, doesn't 1551 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:28,240 matter how.

I live in like the cool artsy 1570 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,280 district of my city pubs. And movie theaters, video store 1571 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,080 and just a lot of live music stuff like that, right. 1572 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:28,200 But like I've been to Toronto like it's, it's too big. 1573 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,200 Vancouver's too. The only, the only big city I 1574 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,200 fell in love with was Montreal actually, because as a kid I 1575 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:37,360 grew up in Germany, so oldest city in Canada. 1576 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,520 So the architecture is like beautiful, right? 1577 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,160 And yeah, Montreal, a lot of lovely people out there, I'll 1578 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:46,960 say. And you don't have to speak 1579 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,160 French, which I learned real quick too, because I couldn't 1580 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:51,720 for the life of me. I took French. 1581 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:53,640 We had to take, you know, school for years. 1582 01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,320 I don't remember a damn thing I was going to say. 1583 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,760 Do you speak French? Oh, God, no. 1584 01:20:57,960 --> 01:20:59,360 Well, the. Funny thing is I used to speak 1585 01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:01,200 fluent. German because when I was a kid 1586 01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,560 I lived in Germany, but then we moved to Canada, we stopped 1587 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,680 using it and I kind of forgot it all because like as a child, 1588 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,040 you're like a sponge. You can soak up so much, right? 1589 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,560 Right. But no, I'm I'm sadly I'm I'm I 1590 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,240 find the the people with the best superpowers in the world 1591 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:16,360 are. I got buddies that can speak 1592 01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:18,680 like 5 or 6 languages and that's insane. 1593 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:20,600 I don't know how you can fit all that in your brain. 1594 01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:22,280 Dude. I don't like, I remember. 1595 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,240 I saw Glorious Basterds with a buddy of mine and he. 1596 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,040 Used like about 3 different languages in that movie. 1597 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:27,920 He didn't have to read a single subtitle. 1598 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:29,040 He's like that. I can hear it all. 1599 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,880 I'm like God damn you, you're good man you're good. 1600 01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,120 That's differentiating the dialect like. 1601 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,240 But the movie's spoiled. I already know. 1602 01:21:37,480 --> 01:21:40,040 Yeah. All right. 1603 01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,080 Next one we touched. On. 1604 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,440 One of them already, but this is a director question. 1605 01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:50,800 Corman, Cohen. Corman or Cohen? 1606 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,000 Yeah. Well, I mean in. 1607 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,520 Fairness. Like when I think of Corman I. 1608 01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:00,240 Think more of him as a producer. Like, I know, like, yeah, I 1609 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,160 mean, he was passionate about all the other alcohol 1610 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:06,400 adaptations with Vincent and, you know, but I mean, I think in 1611 01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,560 a lot I'll always love Death Race. 1612 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:12,320 But we're talking Larry Cohen, right? 1613 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:13,320 Yeah. OK. 1614 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:18,960 So talk about eclectic cinema. Larry Cohen can go from doing 1615 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,200 like Black Caesar with Fred the Hammer Williamson, which I love 1616 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:26,320 and Hell up in Harlem, by the way, for the good back man, that 1617 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,920 James Brown soundtracks banger and he can give us Q the wing 1618 01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:34,920 serpent and he can give us the stuff and he maniac cop, which 1619 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,640 you know, I don't Ludzik wait, did Ludzik Rudzik directed it 1620 01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,600 and Cohen wrote it. I think that's he's called epic 1621 01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:45,480 writer, right. So that documentary King Cohen 1622 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,880 Cohen was fantastic and it's just sad that he passed because 1623 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,400 he's like come interview me again in five years. 1624 01:22:51,480 --> 01:22:56,480 I'm, hey, I'm going to go with Cohen on this one, but it's 1625 01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,520 close. It's very close, OK. 1626 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:05,200 But when we we met Cohen. I think it would have been 2016 1627 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:11,480 at Crypticon in Kansas City. And dude, he, he was so funny. 1628 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:15,760 He he had a fruit basket on his table and he had bananas. 1629 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,600 And we were talking and we're just like having a normal 1630 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,440 conversation. And then he just while we're 1631 01:23:21,440 --> 01:23:22,920 talking, he just peels this banana. 1632 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,360 And then he just puts like half of it in his mouth. 1633 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:27,360 And then he just continued to talk to me. 1634 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:29,480 Like, like, you couldn't understand him. 1635 01:23:29,480 --> 01:23:31,480 He was just like, like doing a gag. 1636 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,600 And everyone around me was like, what's wrong with this guy? 1637 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,160 And it was like, it was just comedy genius. 1638 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,320 He was like just having the most fun ever and. 1639 01:23:41,440 --> 01:23:44,320 Yeah, well, also, you know, and the one thing you got to love 1640 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:46,960 about both of those? Guys is they're they're they're 1641 01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,880 no give a shit attitude to shoot something without any permits. 1642 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:53,600 Yeah, like I love watching like something. 1643 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:54,520 Like black? I think it was black. 1644 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,640 Season where Fred the Hammer is getting in a fight with a guy at 1645 01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:58,880 the airport and you're jumping all over those suitcases. 1646 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,000 Like those are real people. Suitcase. 1647 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:02,480 Those are not actors in the background. 1648 01:24:02,480 --> 01:24:05,560 I'm like, man, if you thought to do a mock fight at airport 1649 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,320 today, you'd be shot. You know, I'm like, yeah, but 1650 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,800 yeah, all we're like. And honestly, Cohen did one of 1651 01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:15,480 my favorite masters of horror episodes pick me up with or 1652 01:24:15,480 --> 01:24:19,240 score the first second episode. I think maybe, I think and you 1653 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:20,760 also. Got to give props up to Larry 1654 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,880 Cohen because he was the. Only one who could wrangle in 1655 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,920 Michael Moriarty. You know that a lot of guys did 1656 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:28,600 not enjoy working with Michael Moriarty. 1657 01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,640 Apparently he was a tough one, but he did kick ass on Law and 1658 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,040 Order. Just going to say yes, he did 1659 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:34,880 he. Absolutely. 1660 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,360 But yeah, so. No Larry Cohen and and and. 1661 01:24:38,440 --> 01:24:42,720 It's sad he's gone, too. Yeah, both. 1662 01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:44,760 Both legends. Next one. 1663 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:50,120 This is between 2 movies. This is a hot topic I guess. 1664 01:24:50,480 --> 01:24:55,680 My Co host and I, we we go back and forth on this. 1665 01:24:55,680 --> 01:25:00,840 So the Wraith or the Crow 'cause they're the same movie? 1666 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,040 No, it's a scary movie. Dude, it's so. 1667 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,040 I literally so I. I sell or rent out the rate 1668 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,040 every couple weeks, and when somebody asked me, you guys 1669 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,520 nailed that description. When somebody asked me what's 1670 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,720 the rate like? It's like the Crow with cars, 1671 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,320 but it's in the 80s and it's got Chuck Sheen, Randy Quaid and 1672 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:23,240 Clint Howard. OK, 'cause my, my, you know, my 1673 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:28,560 high school years were the early 90s and I was, you know, into 1674 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,560 industrial music and all that. And what would happen with 1675 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,240 Brandon Lee. And then the first time we saw 1676 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,920 The Crow was actually the drive in in 94. 1677 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,400 I just turned 18. It just that soundtrack that 1678 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:48,040 that movie capsulates that that that 90s era perfect like that. 1679 01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:52,200 If you were into that kind of stuff, Prematrix, I'm going to 1680 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,720 go with a personal. Person. 1681 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,480 I'm not saying which of these better that's that can be. 1682 01:25:57,480 --> 01:26:00,920 There's no right or wrong. Everybody's allowed to have 1683 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:02,960 their opinion. But the Crow. 1684 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,440 In fact, I'm so passionate with the Crow that when that God 1685 01:26:05,440 --> 01:26:10,120 awful Sarsgaard one came out, I wouldn't even allow it in my 1686 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:11,200 store. I didn't. 1687 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:12,440 I refused. I haven't watched it. 1688 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:13,920 Oh. Costner asked me. 1689 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,760 Kev, can you order it in for me? And I'm like, 'cause I got a 1690 01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:17,400 shipment of. Like 4 grand in movies in every 1691 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,680 week and I'm like, I will order it for you. 1692 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,840 It will never enter my video store. 1693 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,840 I will give it to you outside of the store. 1694 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,840 You give me money. I've never felt that passionate 1695 01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,600 about letting my personal taste get in the way of business. 1696 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:35,080 But in that case I I just no, this is wrong on every level. 1697 01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,920 Like I I don't you can make crow 5678 that's fine. 1698 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:42,960 I'm not offended by that at all. Never offended by a shitty 1699 01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,080 sequel or even a friggin a television spin off. 1700 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,000 Whatever you want to do, but don't remake this movie. 1701 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,240 The guy literally gave his life for it. 1702 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,680 He not like. So I'm going to go crow nice. 1703 01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,320 Yeah, draw the line in the sand and keep that outside of the 1704 01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:01,280 video. Store yeah, I'll tell you we we 1705 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,320 champion both of the movies here. 1706 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:09,840 I I am firmly in the the Wraith and my Co host is a big crow 1707 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,280 guy. We did a Clint Howard 1708 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,720 appreciation month where we covered 4 Clint Howard movies 1709 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,280 and evil speak. Yes we did. 1710 01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:19,880 That's like a Clint Howard movie. 1711 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:21,040 Yep, we covered. I'll send it. 1712 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:22,880 To you we covered evil. Speak we covered. 1713 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:30,840 The Wraith we covered I can't remember off the top of. 1714 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:33,840 My head but those two. For sure. 1715 01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:40,680 But yeah, I, I love the Wraith. Plus the 80s boobs don't hurt, 1716 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,160 you know what I mean? Like it's a, it's a rock'n'roll 1717 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:47,200 fun. I I I It sucks getting older. 1718 01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:54,640 But I'm so glad I grew up as an 80s and 90s kid and the movies 1719 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:57,120 and, and just the love of it all. 1720 01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:00,960 And, you know, again, not to get too deep and philosophical, but 1721 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,680 it's, it's not a, you know, young people don't get it 1722 01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:05,960 because no, they do. In fact, I got a lot of cool 1723 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:07,960 young regulars that prefer 80s movies. 1724 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,600 They literally go all the way. They want the 80s because they 1725 01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,000 want. So when it comes to horror 1726 01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,080 movies, they love practical effects. 1727 01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,760 They pick a CGI. It's just there's nothing you 1728 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,240 can do anything you want now, but there's something the charm 1729 01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:24,160 is not there, you know, like practical effects and, and, and 1730 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,200 something about the 80s. It was just when it came to 1731 01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,760 movies, it was more excitement. It was more of an event going to 1732 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,400 the well, it was an event going to the theaters or going to the 1733 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,920 video store like we talked about earlier, because now everything 1734 01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,040 is a click away. So it's not that exciting. 1735 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,120 Or if you don't theater opening weekend, like don't worry guys, 1736 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,040 we'll be on streaming by two weeks from now. 1737 01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,000 You know, I'll wait before the same day. 1738 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,240 Yeah, right. Which is crazy. 1739 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:47,440 Which is like. That. 1740 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:50,760 Playing like you have to understand in the 80s if you 1741 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:52,600 missed it in the. Theater you might have to wait 1742 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,320 up to a year before it hits VHS or Beta. 1743 01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,280 Yeah you can bare minimum like 6 months. 1744 01:28:57,880 --> 01:28:58,800 Yeah, for sure. And. 1745 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,760 Then unless it's a sell through tape like a. 1746 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:04,440 Batman or who from Roger Rabbit were like the first ones to do 1747 01:29:04,440 --> 01:29:07,880 it or ET. Good luck buying a copy for 1748 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,280 8995. And that is 80s dollars. 1749 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:15,840 So the first VHS tape I saved up money to buy and it was half 1750 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:20,320 price at 50 bucks. And again, this is 1989 was 1751 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,000 Halloween for the return of Michael Myers. 1752 01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:26,880 That is steep, yeah. I'll always. 1753 01:29:27,440 --> 01:29:29,800 Up for that movie. That's a great one. 1754 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,520 Another one with that. Yeah, I saw it the same year, 1755 01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,400 Yeah, that I rented. That and child's play. 1756 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,080 I was, I was. I was 12. 1757 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,080 Yeah, when they both hit BHS. That's a fucking awesome double 1758 01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:45,600 feature, dude. Absolutely. 1759 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:51,160 Next sports question. Hockey, professional wrestling, 1760 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,240 I'm. Oh, you're going to make it be. 1761 01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,800 The stereotypical Canadian. But then again, the, the, the, 1762 01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:03,520 the, the heart dungeon is only a three hour drive from here on 1763 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:09,320 Calgary. OK, let me just say in the 80s, 1764 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:11,800 so our hockey team is the Edmonton Oilers. 1765 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:13,320 So we had Wayne Gretzky back then. 1766 01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:16,080 So like it, it was champion after championship. 1767 01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:21,400 So it was hockey all the way. But then the 90's, the team was 1768 01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:23,840 garbage and the Attitude ever began wrestling. 1769 01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:30,880 I was 100% sucked into every Monday Night Raw and Nitro and 1770 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,560 like, it was insane. That was like, to me, the golden 1771 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:37,120 era of wrestling. Like, I don't think it'll ever 1772 01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:42,000 come back between 96 to 2002, basically. 1773 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,840 Yeah. What still watching, still die 1774 01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:47,440 hard wrestling fan, but believe it or not, once I opened the 1775 01:30:47,440 --> 01:30:49,680 video store, I had to work every day. 1776 01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:54,400 So I kind of fell out of touch and I did watch Cena's last 1777 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,080 thing there a couple weeks ago. I still don't want to talk about 1778 01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:00,000 that, but I watched the last AW pay-per-view. 1779 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,800 My my my girlfriend's a die hard wrestling fan. 1780 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:05,040 She used to wrestle locally here. 1781 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:09,200 She's all like 5 foot nothing but completely tattooed and and 1782 01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,960 yeah, she knows she's all about Japanese pro wrestling and all 1783 01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,800 that shit. Like she, she can talk your ear 1784 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:14,640 off. I love it. 1785 01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:20,720 But all overall consistency over the last 30 years of my life. 1786 01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,440 I'm gonna have to go with hockey, but I do love me a damn 1787 01:31:24,440 --> 01:31:27,000 good pay-per-view and the Royal Rumbles coming up. 1788 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,080 And that's always the best paper of the year. 1789 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,320 And we're degenerate gamblers at the bar we work at, so we we can 1790 01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:35,120 gamble on the Royal Rumble. Now you're thinking, oh, man, 1791 01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:37,440 that's, that's not fair because you, you think you know who's 1792 01:31:37,440 --> 01:31:38,280 going to win? You just pick up. 1793 01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,560 But no, no, you draw numbers out of a hat and that's you guy. 1794 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:44,160 I love that dude. That's so rad. 1795 01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,720 Yeah, dude, it's. We do a $5 hat, a $10 hat. 1796 01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:50,120 A 21 hat so you could you could buy end all three. 1797 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,920 And now that there's woman's and men's rumbles, there's six hats. 1798 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,640 So one year, me and my buddies table, we won. 1799 01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,840 Oh crap. I think I won 600 bucks off the 1800 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:03,120 men's one and then he won like 800 off the women's 1. 1801 01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:06,160 So it was a glorious night of the pub drinks on you, you know 1802 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:07,720 what I'm saying? Yeah, absolutely. 1803 01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:09,560 Oh. That's so rad. 1804 01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:13,920 Well, this is another I. Guess the stereotypical Canadian 1805 01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:17,360 question. This is food, poutine or 1806 01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,160 cheeseburgers. I'm going to go with 1807 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:21,560 cheeseburgers. The thing is if. 1808 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:25,320 I lived more East Coast Canada. Like if I was French Canadian, 1809 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:29,080 it wouldn't even be a thing. But every, if you ever go to 1810 01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,640 Montreal or Quebec, you have to have the food team there. 1811 01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:37,360 That's like the legit source of goodness, you know, But I live 1812 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,280 in Alberta and you know, beef is king here. 1813 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,120 It's it's basically Texas North, right, as far as the, the food 1814 01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:46,560 goes, But I, I love them both, man. 1815 01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:50,840 I'm actually, you know, it's funny, the girlfriend's vegan. 1816 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,960 I am not. But so half the week I eat 1817 01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:55,960 vegany food and the other half like, OK, back-to-back to 1818 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,880 business here. Good cheeseburger with some 1819 01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,040 bacon on it. Oh, baby love. 1820 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,120 That's, that's tough to beat. Like the 2 greatest smells to 1821 01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:06,480 wake up to in the morning are coffee and bacon. 1822 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,880 Like it's just I'm out of bed, I'm up. 1823 01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:13,000 I smell it awkward. Like instead of making noise, it 1824 01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:16,320 just sends out the set. The smelling smells of coffee 1825 01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,440 and bacon. Like at the same time, I'd be 1826 01:33:18,440 --> 01:33:21,400 out of bed so quick. It's that Mitch Hedberg joke. 1827 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,640 I was like, I wish I had a. Candle that smelled or an 1828 01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:28,160 incense burner that smelled like cinnamon rolls that my roommates 1829 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,040 would wake up with false hopes. I wish there was a bacon scented 1830 01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:32,720 candle. Just a mess with you. 1831 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,280 Yeah, for sure. I mean, it's even worse with 1832 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,040 like. You know, the apartment 1833 01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:40,040 buildings where somebody's cooking bacon down the hallway 1834 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,160 and I can smell it and I'm like, I just want to knock on their 1835 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,120 door. I'm like, you know, it's kind of 1836 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:46,560 rude if you're not going to offer a piece of bacon everybody 1837 01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,240 on your floor because we all smell it. 1838 01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:49,760 And it's, it's it's killing us, man. 1839 01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,240 And. And that's the way possible. 1840 01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:52,480 Yeah. Hook it up. 1841 01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:53,800 Just one piece. That's all I need. 1842 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:58,360 All right, last one. Yeah, you. 1843 01:33:59,960 --> 01:34:04,840 You already brought this person up, but I'm going to make you 1844 01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:08,120 choose between Lanaya Quigley and Michelle Bauer. 1845 01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:13,080 That's AI think I already know, but I got to go with Lanaya. 1846 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:17,400 I got to go. 'Cause again, I never met her, 1847 01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:19,880 but I know like, she's pretty tiny, right? 1848 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,560 Like she's like, and I think it was actually, yeah, it was 1849 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:25,520 shocked. It was my partner that said I'm 1850 01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,280 the same size as Lanaya Quigley. I'm like, how do you know that 1851 01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:31,640 they have the same shoe size? Apparently, and obviously not 1852 01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:38,120 just for the, you know, that young adolescent hormonal Kevin 1853 01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:42,360 of me back then, but the movies. I mean I I how many times have 1854 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:46,000 seen return and as as silent night, deadly night Crepazoid 1855 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,360 rules and dude, I'll still you know, they shot it in eight days 1856 01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,800 and they said one of the only movies where she doesn't get 1857 01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,000 naked. But come on, sorority babes, the 1858 01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,520 slime Bowlerama is so ridiculous And and the fact that they had 1859 01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:00,280 the title first, they had eight days to film in a bowling alley 1860 01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:03,520 with no script and I'm like and he's still a popular seller to 1861 01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:05,400 this day. Yeah, it's a killer poster art 1862 01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,680 and it's a it's a fun ass movie it. 1863 01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,520 It really is, yeah. And I was shocked when they made 1864 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,160 a. Part 2 A couple years ago they 1865 01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:15,080 hit the shop. I I actually I haven't watched 1866 01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:18,080 it yet, but I heard it was not not not so didn't have the 1867 01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:18,880 charm. I did not. 1868 01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:21,360 I didn't see it, but I heard that the was the original. 1869 01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:23,040 Title of that just called like the amp. 1870 01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:27,520 So I'm really glad they went with, yeah, whoever, whoever 1871 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,000 came up with. The the proper. 1872 01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,520 Title. I hope they got a raise. 1873 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,560 You know, good old. It's like that is the kind of 1874 01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:36,400 title that if you saw that as a 12 year old kid in the video 1875 01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:38,480 store on the shelf you are renting that movie. 1876 01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:41,400 There's just ifs ands or about about it. 1877 01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:44,160 It's kind of like seeing that the cover of pieces and going 1878 01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:46,480 pieces. It's exactly what you think it 1879 01:35:46,480 --> 01:35:49,600 is. You know, like or like a class 1880 01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:51,320 of Nukem High, the cover of class. 1881 01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,760 Of Nukem High, you're like, I'm renting this. 1882 01:35:54,480 --> 01:35:56,680 Oh for sure. Do you have a favorite Tromo 1883 01:35:56,680 --> 01:36:00,600 movie? That's tough, dude. 1884 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,840 So. Only directed, of course, right? 1885 01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:13,600 So part of me, so I. This is not a trauma movie and 1886 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:15,200 and so. Lloyd didn't direct it, but 1887 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,480 Trauma put it back out. So can that, can I use that as a 1888 01:36:19,480 --> 01:36:21,360 caveat? Yeah, for sure. 1889 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,520 I mean, so basically they distributed. 1890 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,520 It, but it'd be not it'd be. Night Beast. 1891 01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,880 Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm such a Don. Dolor, Mark I. 1892 01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,840 Worship Don Doler. So but if, if it's just pure 1893 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,360 trauma, it's probably it's probably Terra firmer. 1894 01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:40,840 OK, yeah, Terra firmer. Let's give one. 1895 01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,160 I me. Personally, I go with Romeo, 1896 01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:46,680 Julia. Well, first of all, when you got 1897 01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:52,080 Lemmy introduced in the movie, I mean God, but man, that's how 1898 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:56,640 you Lemmy. He's I look, I'm not the biggest 1899 01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,760 motor FM, but I'm a massive Lemmy fan, you know, like he was 1900 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,480 as Motörhead. Obviously when Lemmy passed 1901 01:37:03,480 --> 01:37:07,160 away, we all took it pretty hard up here, especially at the bar, 1902 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,240 right? In fact, I remember they were 1903 01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,840 showing his wake live on YouTube or whatever. 1904 01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,240 So yeah, that and like, it was a tough watch and it all the, but 1905 01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:17,720 we, we had, we, we opened the bar up for that wake. 1906 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,240 It was a Saturday afternoon, I think. 1907 01:37:19,440 --> 01:37:22,160 And but the only deal was you could only drink Jack and Cokes 1908 01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:24,240 with nothing else. You could we served nothing 1909 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:28,600 else, only Jack and Cokes all day like but I I love that like 1910 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:31,680 Lemmy and even though I wasn't that big on the new toxic 1911 01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,920 avenger, I went to see with some buddies in the theater and it 1912 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:37,280 you know, it's it's fine.

In fact, one of the bonus 2037 01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:49,320 features on the Canadian release, which I'm going to mail 2038 01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:51,600 you, it does the before and after thing. 2039 01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:54,360 Like even I was like, oh shit, that was a VFX shot. 2040 01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:56,280 Like like half of the roof was fake. 2041 01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:58,920 Like we didn't have enough. We didn't have enough panels to 2042 01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,880 fill the whole roof. So it was all VFX. 2043 01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:04,000 Later. Obviously the gumball was all 2044 01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:06,200 fake. I mean, you know, just little 2045 01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:09,720 like things you would assume is real isn't real, you know. 2046 01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:13,600 Did he go to school for that or is he self-taught they're. 2047 01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:15,880 All self-taught man. That's because they're younger 2048 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:16,680 than me, right? So. 2049 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:19,800 They're, they're all in their mid 30s, I want to say. 2050 01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:25,360 So, you know, I mean, the way these with the YouTube tutorial 2051 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:27,360 videos and all this stuff and you have the right equipment and 2052 01:44:27,360 --> 01:44:29,680 the right programs. I mean, do you have to go to 2053 01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:32,840 film school anymore? I had so many buddies spend 2054 01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:34,840 like, I think it was like Vancouver film school in the 2055 01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:37,000 90s. It was like, dude, Canadian 2056 01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,480 money. It was like 25 grand for one 2057 01:44:39,480 --> 01:44:41,880 semester. And I had one buddy go and I 2058 01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:44,960 think it only gig out of it. He was a security guy on the 2059 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,560 Teenage Mutirals television live series. 2060 01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:51,160 And then people go back broke and they're like, well, that was 2061 01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:52,600 a waste. We should just done it ourselves 2062 01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:54,000 kind of thing. Yeah, so you with the 2063 01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:58,040 independent, you know like Kevin Smith and and Tarantino and all 2064 01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:00,520 that, I mean it. And it really inspired, of 2065 01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:02,000 course. Now with everything being 2066 01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:05,000 digital, how hard is it to save up some money by counter, buy 2067 01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:08,600 some gear and you can figure it out if if you're smart enough. 2068 01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:09,680 Yeah. Yeah. 2069 01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:12,120 You like. Well, there's that famous 2070 01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:13,560 Tarantino quote. Like, I didn't go to film 2071 01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,480 school, I went to. Films, you know, watch enough 2072 01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:20,160 stuff, absorb enough stuff, and then you can't help but, I mean, 2073 01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:22,760 you might not make Gone With the Wind, but you can't help but 2074 01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:24,320 make something rad. You know what I mean? 2075 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,480 I mean, yeah, it's it's funny. I was thinking like, wouldn't it 2076 01:45:28,480 --> 01:45:29,760 be? It'd be kind of cool if like. 2077 01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:32,560 Kevin Smith saw. The movie, I, I know if he gets 2078 01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,480 something of it because it was always weird describing the 2079 01:45:35,480 --> 01:45:36,800 movie to people that haven't seen it. 2080 01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:38,240 I always hate when you got to do that. 2081 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,480 It's this meets this to sell your movie. 2082 01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:44,760 So it goes sometimes like it's Clerks meets Evil Dead or or or 2083 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:49,680 or it was another one too. I always hated that, though. 2084 01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:52,840 I'm like like when people say because a lot of people they 2085 01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:54,880 thought it was a horror movie. Like it's not a horror movie. 2086 01:45:54,880 --> 01:46:00,040 Like it's so I call our movie it's it's AB movie, video store 2087 01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:02,800 adventure film. That that's what I felt like to 2088 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,960 describe. It's it's a tribute to a very 2089 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,880 specific feeling, not even a. Time. 2090 01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:12,480 It's a tribute to a feeling and and it's it's, it's also a 2091 01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:14,320 tribute. It's not a tribute to 2092 01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:18,360 Blockbuster, it's a tribute. To like the mom and pop video 2093 01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:20,360 stores that were around in every corner. 2094 01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:22,800 I'd never had nostalgia for Blockbuster. 2095 01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:27,880 In fact, I loathed Blockbuster whereas came into our city the 2096 01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,640 the smaller independent chains couldn't compete. 2097 01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:34,600 They closed down. But Blockbuster was not carrying 2098 01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:38,080 the cool 70s exploitation weird shit like it was. 2099 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:40,920 It was a smaller stores where I discovered, you know, 2100 01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:45,080 nunsploitation, A blaxploitation and yeah, some greasy stuff and 2101 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:46,880 all the cool independent slasher movies. 2102 01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:48,640 Blockbuster would never carry those. 2103 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:52,040 They have no interest because you don't need 40 copies of the 2104 01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,200 Fugitive. You need some guy behind the 2105 01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:57,240 counter to be like. Hey, you ever seen Ghost in the 2106 01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:58,440 Machine? Well, that's a bad example. 2107 01:46:58,440 --> 01:47:00,080 Ghost in the Machine's a bad example, but you know what I'm 2108 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:01,680 saying. You mean. 2109 01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:05,920 And also their uniforms were God awful but the. 2110 01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:09,720 Nostalgia Blockbuster to me is, I mean, I'm happy for those that 2111 01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:12,040 aren't nostalgia and maybe just because they were like legit 2112 01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:15,600 kids in the 90s, like the, you know, 10 years old in the late 2113 01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,040 90s. Yeah, Blockbuster would be 2114 01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,840 awesome for sure. They did have a good video in 2115 01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:24,400 that. But yeah, the fact that with the 2116 01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:27,880 indie stores, the mom and pop stores, I-10, year old me could 2117 01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:30,960 walk out with Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre and 2118 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,080 they nobody blinked an eye the minute Blockbuster came around. 2119 01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:35,560 Like, you're not 18. I'm like, what does that have to 2120 01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:39,080 do with anything? You know, just I I can trust me, 2121 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:40,960 it's cool. Like even if my parents wrote a 2122 01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:42,960 note, it wouldn't work, you know? 2123 01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:47,080 But then I'm gonna generation where I could literally go into 2124 01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:51,040 a corner store with a note from my mother or step mom for a pack 2125 01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:53,120 of smokes and and it was legit too. 2126 01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:54,520 Like it was legit, but and they wouldn't. 2127 01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:56,320 Yeah, there you go. Say hi to your mom kind of 2128 01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:56,960 thing. Yeah, exactly. 2129 01:47:56,960 --> 01:48:00,280 Because, yeah, different time. It was it. 2130 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:02,800 It wasn't Stranger Things. But it was, it was, it was 2131 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,720 different you. Know and like actually I haven't 2132 01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:07,600 bothered watching the season 5 of Stranger things. 2133 01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:10,200 I kind of it's. Been too long, I've kind of 2134 01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:11,800 lost. Interest after season 4, I'll 2135 01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:13,800 get around. I also have not. 2136 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:15,560 I've got a bunch of buddies that are like, dude, have you watched 2137 01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:16,960 it? I'm like, no I haven't. 2138 01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:18,280 I haven't pulled the trigger. On it. 2139 01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:22,160 But the last series thing that I watched was Welcome to Dairy 2140 01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:25,080 because I was very intrigued. So I watched Welcome to Dairy. 2141 01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:27,880 It's great. I have not watched any of it and 2142 01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:30,880 the reason I can wait is because it's getting a. 2143 01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:35,240 Physical release in March. I want to so it'll be coming to 2144 01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:38,720 my shop and and again, I'm totally cool that it's the same 2145 01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:40,920 reason I haven't watched Del Toro's Frankenstein yet. 2146 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:44,040 I missed it in theaters and I'm not watching on Netflix. 2147 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:47,120 I I admit it's a bit. I don't want to be that guy, you 2148 01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:48,400 know, like, yeah, well, I get you. 2149 01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:52,440 I mean it gets all blocky and weird and loads funny. 2150 01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:55,960 Yeah, so a criterion is putting up Frankenstein. 2151 01:48:55,960 --> 01:49:00,480 So you need more. Directors like Del Toro and 2152 01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:08,440 what's his name, we did Midnight Mass and all the Stephen King 2153 01:49:08,440 --> 01:49:12,280 stuff, Flanagan, Mike Flanagan, you need like that to step up 2154 01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:14,960 and say, hey, I want my stuff on physical media. 2155 01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:17,480 And they are, you know, Fincher's the same way. 2156 01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:21,120 And the more directors step up, I think more it'll help us 2157 01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:23,760 collectors and obviously selfishly have business like 2158 01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:26,840 mine stay alive because, you know, these guys, these 2159 01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,920 directors of today's era, they grew up on video store culture 2160 01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:31,640 as well. So it means a lot to them. 2161 01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:33,240 They still want to see go St. streaming. 2162 01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:36,000 I mean, if, if, if our movie would have just went straight to 2163 01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:37,520 streaming and I'll get a physical release. 2164 01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:41,560 A movie called The Last Video Store, only available for 2165 01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:44,160 something I don't do. Yeah. 2166 01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,200 I mean, we're not VHS tape copies of our movie that the 2167 01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:49,680 Canadian company made for us. It was so pretty. 2168 01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:53,920 Yeah, but I mean, man, I can ramble here all day with your 2169 01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:56,040 brother. We'll just have to bring you 2170 01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:58,680 back, man. Oh dude, order, man. 2171 01:49:58,960 --> 01:50:02,640 I I really appreciate you. Coming on here so. 2172 01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:06,760 To wrap it up then. Just let everybody watching, 2173 01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:10,160 listening, or however the hell they're consuming this know 2174 01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:13,240 where to find you, all of your socials, where to find your 2175 01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:15,960 movie. And I'll let you get on with 2176 01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,200 your life because I know you had a late, late night and you need 2177 01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:23,360 some more caffeine. I'm sure one more copy. 2178 01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:25,040 And then I got to do the adulting stuff. 2179 01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:26,840 My one day off, you know, groceries. 2180 01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:29,200 Make sure my cab members. When yeah, maybe, you know, 2181 01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,360 laundry, that old thing. Yeah. 2182 01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:35,000 So I'm not the most socially media savvy guy. 2183 01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:36,800 I'm definitely never. Going to be on tik. 2184 01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:39,120 T.O.K, that's my my buddies were like, oh, dude, you should start 2185 01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:41,720 a TikTok count for the video. So I'm like, hell no, hell no, I 2186 01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:44,120 I, I I I stare at my phone too much as it is. 2187 01:50:44,440 --> 01:50:47,760 I need to take a step back. But my favorite platform to use 2188 01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:51,120 is generally Instagram because pictures, man, it's it's super 2189 01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:54,800 simple, no negative. And on Instagram, my name is 2190 01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:57,200 Kevin. So it's a simple video store, 2191 01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:59,600 Kev. And that's where a lot of people 2192 01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:02,880 message me from wherever they're at and we talk movies or I 2193 01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:06,040 recommend and stuff. There is a group page for the 2194 01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:09,640 the the store on Facebook. But the real video store is 2195 01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:14,120 called the lobby DVD shop where in the movie is called Blaster 2196 01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:15,800 Video. I was kind of bummed out we 2197 01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:17,360 couldn't use the real name of the store. 2198 01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:19,480 I mean, talk about the ultimate commercial for my store. 2199 01:51:19,480 --> 01:51:22,680 But yeah, I didn't. They had to separate the art 2200 01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:25,320 from the artist and in fact, I even had to sign. 2201 01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:27,440 Away my likeness. This is true story in a contract 2202 01:51:27,440 --> 01:51:31,400 where we film where Kevin the video store guy, I sold my 2203 01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:35,720 rights away as as me, which is really meta and weird, you know? 2204 01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:39,240 Yeah, you can find me find the shop on Facebook. 2205 01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:41,640 There is also a website for the video store too. 2206 01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:44,960 Our short films, I believe, are on our website and the website 2207 01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:50,000 is the lobby movies.com.
