1 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,200 Today, I'm not the only one alone in. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:15,840 The Dark Oh yeah, it's that time again for another episode of the 3 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,760 Deep Cut podcast with your hosts Rotten, Roger DeMarco. 4 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:26,960 And today I'm by myself. Of course you count Walter. 5 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,480 That goes without saying, You're my homie, you're my boy blue. 6 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,880 But it is just me. And this week I chose to talk 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,000 about one of my all time favorite movies, Jack Shoulders 8 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,200 1982 Classic. That's right, classic. 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,360 I am calling this a slasher classic alone in the dark. 10 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,000 And for those of you out there in Internet land listening, 11 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,800 watching, however you're consuming this. 12 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:01,560 Normally I have my esteemed Co host do a plot synopsis but he 13 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,239 is not here. Can I be your Co host? 14 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,240 No, you don't get to do it this week, Walter. 15 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,040 Maybe next week. So I'll give you a plot 16 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,680 synopsis. It's pretty simple, although 17 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,920 there is a little bit more under the hood than they like to act. 18 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,000 We got a new psychiatrist getting hired, replacing an old 19 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,280 psychiatrist who's left, and this psychiatrist takes over the 20 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:37,280 job of being a psychiatrist for the the craziest of the crazy in 21 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,480 this mental asylum. They're so crazy, in fact, they 22 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,840 get their own floor and there's only four of them and they get 23 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,760 their own floor that a craziest whack a doodles out there and 24 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,880 they get their very own floor because they're so crazy. 25 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,040 You can't mix them with the general population of crazy. 26 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,080 Now that's crazy. But before we get into all of 27 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,720 the meat and potatoes of this movie, I'm going to take it way 28 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,520 back. I'm going to throw it back for 29 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,080 y'all. Something that we used to do 30 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,000 when we did just regular old video reviews, not the podcast, 31 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,120 but the way, way, way back machine. 32 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,440 We used to do a little segment called Rotten Rodgers Splatter 33 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Facts. So we're going to kick this off 34 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,520 by taking a look at those splatter facts. 35 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,480 We have 11 dead bodies, We have 4 titties. 36 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,680 We have an obligatory Lynn Shea cameo discount, Matt Frewer, 1 37 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,560 citywide blackout, gratuitous looting, house fortification, 1 38 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,440 severed ear, one wicked Nosebleed dude, and one kick ass 39 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,000 home invasion. The methods of death include and 40 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,480 pretty much are limited to Backbreaker, the old mongo 41 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,840 punch, Garden, sheared, Van Dammed, off screened, strangled, 42 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,400 arrowed, cleavered, and stabbed. There is a clear distinction 43 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,600 between the two of those. Stabbing is a knife, cleavering 44 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,320 is done with a cleaver. That's right. 45 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440 It doesn't take much imagination to figure that out. 46 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,360 The first time I saw this movie was probably about 15 years ago. 47 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200 So I can't front like I grew up on this movie and that I know 48 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,120 the insurance and outs and I'm such a super duper massive fan. 49 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,720 But when I did pick this up, it was one of those random, I used 50 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840 to just scroll Amazon, you know, I scroll Amazon and anything 51 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,160 that was an Anchor Bay release or anything that just looked 52 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,840 intriguing in the slasher genre or horror, what have you. 53 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,040 I had to have it. So I would just put it in my 54 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,160 wish list. And Alone in the Dark has a 55 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200 stacked cast. You've got Martin Landau, you 56 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,680 got Dynamo from Running Man, you've got Curly from City 57 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,080 Slickers, Jack Palance, who is also just bug nuts crazy in this 58 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,880 movie. But the cast drew me in. 59 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,480 And then I noticed it's New Line Cinema. 60 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,520 Jack's Shoulder, Bob Shay, Anchor Bay's putting it out. 61 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,920 It's got a really cool looking cover. 62 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,960 So eventually my intrusive thoughts got the better of me 63 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,160 and I decided I'm picking this up. 64 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,040 And I'm really, really glad I did because at the time this was 65 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,080 the DVD was the, you know, the only way to see it. 66 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,680 Unless you had an old school VHS. 67 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,520 This DVD had like one or two special features, I think. 68 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Commentary, maybe an interview with the girl from the bed 69 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,320 sequence. And I think that's pretty much 70 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,000 it. There wasn't a lot out there of 71 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,360 this movie for you. So having it kind of put me 72 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,800 ahead of the curve for people, except for people who grew up on 73 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,840 it. And so any anytime someone would 74 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,800 come over, I'd be like and they'd ask for a suggestion. 75 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,160 I'd be like, this is this is the one you got to check this one 76 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,680 out. It's one of the earliest home 77 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,680 invasion horror movies. It's really good. 78 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,520 It's got some intense moments and it's it's it's kind of 79 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,360 funny. Also forgotten the cast Donald 80 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,320 Pleasants who is playing a psychiatrist. 81 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,080 But if you thought he was a wackadoodle as Doctor Loomis 82 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,840 then get ready for wackadoodle times 10 in this movie because 83 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,800 all he is is just a total pothead. 84 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,600 He's very hippie esque in his approach of these people aren't 85 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,200 crazy. Their eyes are open, they know 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,640 what the world is like. They they're not dangerous, even 87 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,200 though the most dangerous ones have their own floor. 88 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,440 So I don't know what he's getting on about. 89 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200 He's all over the place. Not necessarily a good 90 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,840 psychiatrist. Kind of runs in his filmography. 91 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,960 Not a good psychiatrist, not a good president. 92 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,680 We're on the abdominal pleasants. 93 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,760 You play inept people, as much reverence as everyone has for 94 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,640 you, and they love you. I guess it's because you're 95 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,280 really good at playing people who suck at their jobs. 96 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,600 And it wasn't until maybe three years ago I'm thinking that, not 97 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,640 vinegar syndrome. Scream Factory, I think. 98 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,520 I think Scream Factory put out a special edition Blu-ray this, 99 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:17,360 which I'm sad to say I still haven't picked up because my DVD 100 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,280 is autographed by the one and only Steve Dash. 101 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,360 That name may sound familiar to some of you. 102 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,080 And you're like wait a minute, Steve Dash is not in Alone in 103 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,720 the Dark. Steve Dash was Bag Head Jason 104 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,800 and Friday the 13th Part 2. You are correct in one of those 105 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,560 assumptions. The other little juicy tidbit is 106 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,760 that Steve Dash plays a psychiatrist who is pulling up 107 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,080 in his car as all the inmates are escaping. 108 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,840 And I think he has like one line of dialogue where he's like, 109 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,400 what the And then they throw him out of the car. 110 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,240 He gets the Mongo punch. He gets killed by the Mongo 111 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,000 punch, which Dynamo clap, if you love Dynamo from the running man 112 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,440 is this big baby Huey hulking pedo. 113 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,440 He's a big guy. So of course when he hits you, 114 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,400 it kills you. And so when I met Steve Dash, I 115 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,200 was like, I can't believe that you're in this movie. 116 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,800 And he's like, yeah. And they there's like one day's 117 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,000 worth of work, obviously, for one night. 118 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,320 And that one little quarter of a line of dialogue and he gets to 119 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,200 get punched by Dynamo, which is pretty cool. 120 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000 So rest in peace to Steve Dash. Rest in peace to Dynamo. 121 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,240 Rest in peace to Martin Landau. Rest in peace to Jack Palance. 122 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,600 Rest in peace to Donald Pleasance. 123 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,600 Holy crap, Everybody in this movie is dead. 124 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,440 That's that's a little depressing, folks. 125 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,560 I just realized that in real time with you we but let's get 126 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,760 this rolling, OK? I I, I, I I I. 127 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,200 Today, Junior. Essentially, this is a home 128 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,280 invasion movie and there's nothing wrong with that. 129 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,400 It's this is the the blueprint of a home invasion movie. 130 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,240 We build and build and build and build on the home invasion and 131 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720 then we get it for maybe the last like 20 minutes of the 132 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,400 movie. Although the killers do 133 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,880 infiltrate the house and then leave and then come back and 134 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,800 then leave and then come back. But that's it's fine. 135 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,960 It's fine. They invade when they want to 136 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,800 invade under the cloak of darkness. 137 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520 You know what I mean? So at the core, that's what this 138 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,680 is. It's a home invasion move. 139 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,280 And we're going to break it down segment by segment, if you will. 140 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,600 So we kick this off with the introduction to our new main 141 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,679 doctor and his name not important, just know he's 142 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,080 discount Matt Frewer in this movie but he's taking over the 143 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:45,040 role of Doctor Merton, a doctor we don't get to see at all but 144 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,600 apparently is these 4 crazy inmates favorite doctor and he 145 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,200 leaves. So these 4 crazy inmates cook up 146 00:08:54,200 --> 00:09:00,840 this alternate reality in their brains that this new Doctor has 147 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,200 killed their old doctor and is planning on killing them. 148 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,880 Thus the crazy folks must escape and kill the new Doctor before 149 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,040 he kills them because they're crazy. 150 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,200 So that makes sense to them and hopefully it makes sense to you. 151 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,320 So that's the opener of the movie. 152 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:26,800 We're we're dealing with this setup of these guys really, 153 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,360 really want to kill this doctor. And we get a couple of segments 154 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,600 where he's attempting to gain their acceptance, not their 155 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,200 trust, but I guess, I guess their trust too. 156 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,880 You know, he's trying to trying to fit in with them and and make 157 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,240 sure they don't have a problem with them. 158 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,040 Kind of like. Me. 159 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,440 Yeah, but you're never going to gain my trust, Walter. 160 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000 I That's why there's chains on the door. 161 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,880 So you can keep trying. Whatever you're trying, it ain't 162 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,320 going to work anyway. Where was I? 163 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,400 Yeah. So the doctor really tries to 164 00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:08,480 make these crazies dig him, man. But they don't. 165 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,040 And they've plotted and schemed. They're going to escape. 166 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,880 But here's the caveat in that escape the asylum, especially 167 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:23,760 the top floor, but all of the asylum, whenever you attempt to 168 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,960 breach the windows, alarms go off and these gates slam down. 169 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,240 I don't know why the gates just wouldn't be on the windows all 170 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,640 day every day. But I guess, you know this is 171 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,680 one of Donald Pleasant's harebrained schemes, right? 172 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,960 Like, well, leave the windows open so they get a breath of 173 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,000 fresh air. But if they try and go out that 174 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,800 motherfucker, no, no, you can't leave. 175 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280 So it gives them the illusion of freedom. 176 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720 But then we have these electric Shah. 177 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,000 Although there are many ways you could stop this, right? 178 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,680 You could break a leg off of a chair. 179 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:08,280 You could put a book in the windowsill, all kinds of ways 180 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,240 for you to get on out of there. Rusty Shackleford, right, right 181 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,080 on out of that bad boy. But they they don't. 182 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:24,560 So the the plan is there's a citywide blackout, so the power 183 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:30,960 is out, which means the entire insane asylum has no defense. 184 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,000 So our pack of crazies pack on up and head right out the front 185 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000 door. Well, the whole city has gone 186 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,360 batshit crazy because you do. When the power goes out, 187 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,080 everybody, instead of just lighting candles and chilling, 188 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,960 they go into full blown 1982 upheaval. 189 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,520 Let's burn the city down, loot the city, burn the city down. 190 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,080 Completely rational behavior. There's no, there's no prompting 191 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,200 for it. It's just, it's what people do. 192 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,560 People go crazy. And so then the crazy folks who 193 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:16,520 escaped the asylum, they just fit right on in with the madness 194 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,200 going on in the world and they start to make their way to the 195 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,120 doctor's house. They're going to take this bad 196 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,520 boy out. One of the things I forgot to 197 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:31,440 mention is one of the other crazies is he hides his face all 198 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,720 the time. He doesn't let new people see 199 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,200 his face, but his nickname is the Bleeder. 200 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,960 So every time he would strangle someone or kill someone, he'd 201 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,320 get a Nosebleed. And I think that's how they 202 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,760 eventually caught him. Even in 1982 with DNA in its 203 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,360 infancy, that's how they caught this fellow. 204 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,120 But we don't get to see his face ever. 205 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,760 And when they escape he hits up a sporting goods store and gets 206 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,720 a hockey mask. And I know what you're thinking. 207 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,560 Wow that is a RIP off. And you'd be wrong because this 208 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:07,440 movie predates Friday the 13th Part 3 by 1 year and it's a 209 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,920 whole different movie house. This is new line cinema. 210 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,640 Friday the 13th back then was Paramount. 211 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,760 But that's besides the point. We get the bleeder in a hockey 212 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:25,680 mask in a blue jacket and he uses a garden hoe, garden rake 213 00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:29,440 type of deal, slashes a throat. So we get to see how vicious he 214 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,560 is before he takes off. They all kind of break off once 215 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,240 they're done looting this hardware store or sporting goods 216 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,960 store. All of them pack up on weapons, 217 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,440 crossbows, guns, garden hose, axes, baseball bats, whatever. 218 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,920 And then set out into the world to cause mischief. 219 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,400 I like the Bleeder the most out of all the villains, even though 220 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,160 he's there for pretty much the opening sequence and then he 221 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,800 doesn't show up until the end. The faces of this movie are 222 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,200 obviously Martin Landau. Jackpalance. 223 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,080 They have a ton of personality. I always forget Dynamos real 224 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,000 name. He's just Dynamo and that's all 225 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,080 there is to it. He does really good in this 226 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800 movie. He's got a softness to him, 227 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,360 which really works for the type of killer he is. 228 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,400 I don't want to say the words too many times because YouTube 229 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,920 doesn't like us. So I'm not going to say the 230 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,640 words that you think I'm going to say. 231 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,400 I'm not going to do what everybody thinks I'm going to do 232 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960 and say the words and get a shadow band. 233 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,040 I just want to know who's coming with me. 234 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,000 On that note, if you're still watching, do us a solid like 235 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,200 subscribe, comment, follow all the things. 236 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,800 If you're listening to us on a podcast app, rate US, leave us a 237 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,880 comment. Mainly on Spotify is where I can 238 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560 see the comments. Even I don't know how to see the 239 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,840 comments on other podcast apps, but but do that for us because 240 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,720 that would be really rad. Anyway, enough shilling back to 241 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,240 the movie after the power outage. 242 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920 You would think that the movie would take place over 1 243 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,760 centralized night, that the doctor would be introduced to 244 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400 the patients, the power would go out that night, they would 245 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,960 escape, they would converge on the House, they would attack the 246 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,840 house, and that would be the end of the movie. 247 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,600 But that's not exactly how the movie plays out. 248 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:29,680 They escape, they get to loot and pillage, weapon up, you 249 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,680 know, gear up, tack up, whatever the phrase may be, go off into 250 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,720 the world. Well, then the sun rises, 251 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,600 another day begins, and the crazies, first of all, they kill 252 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,080 a mailman for a hat. I mean, you got to they're, 253 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,640 they're nut bars, right? Our psychiatrist goes to work, 254 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,240 discovers that the crazies have escaped and there is a they've, 255 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,280 they've killed someone to someone's and they're on their 256 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:04,320 way, probably to his house now rather than him come right home. 257 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:10,240 He stays at work for his full shift and the mother gets 258 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:16,440 arrested because she goes to a protest with the main doctor's 259 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,520 sister who is like a former nut job. 260 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,600 She's not crazy anymore supposedly, but she's big into 261 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,680 punk music and fighting the power and all that stuff. 262 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:33,080 So we're left with 0 parents at home and they have a young 263 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,240 daughter who I'm going to say is maybe 9, maybe 10. 264 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,440 And our Dynamo strolls into the house. 265 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,480 And this is, in my opinion, a huge missed opportunity because 266 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,480 even though we have 11 dead bodies in this movie and there's 267 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,680 some good ones, but we really kind of teeter on how many of 268 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,960 the main cast, actually the whole main cast gets to survive. 269 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,080 I just realized that in real time also with you guys. 270 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,760 And that's a sin. We're going to sin, make a Ding, 271 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,359 some kind of noise for the sin that's happening. 272 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,960 Dynamo shows up. He's hanging out with the little 273 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,119 girl. It's very skeevy, very gross, 274 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,400 very not comfortable. You're watching it and you're 275 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,760 going, oh, no, Oh no. But nothing happens. 276 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,560 It's fine. He hangs out with her and which 277 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200 is all off screen because they allude to the fact that 278 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,640 something bad is going to happen. 279 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,080 He hangs out with her off screen and then he leaves. 280 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,840 Fast forward to the middle of the day. 281 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,720 The mom gets a visit by Martin Landau, now dressed as a mailman 282 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:46,000 who's supposedly has a telegram for the psychiatrist, which we 283 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,120 all know is just a ruse to get inside and kill the 284 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:52,160 psychiatrist. He says I want to deliver the 285 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,080 message personally. So he leaves. 286 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,000 Rather than kill the wife, kill our lead sister that would have 287 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,680 been the entire family dusted, gone before the final act. 288 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,760 And as much as I love this movie, these missed 289 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:13,000 opportunities do add up. Because I really think if you 290 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,680 want to cross that line from just a regular run-of-the-mill 291 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,760 fun kind of slasher, if you were to cross that line and take out 292 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,520 the daughter, take out the wife, take out the sister, you're 293 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:31,520 dipping more into exploitation. You're dipping more into the 294 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,760 drive in classics of the time. You're you're damn near dipping 295 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,880 into shallow material, especially with the way these 296 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,160 killers are the synth wave music that's used in this movie, which 297 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,960 by the way, fantastic score. Fantastic. 298 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,600 I did not do my research on who did the music, but it's it's a 299 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,720 click away guys look it up. This whoever did the score 300 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,880 really good. Also a a unique soundtrack 301 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,280 tidbit when the power goes out, the psychiatrist, his wife and 302 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,120 his sister are at a punk concert of the sick bucks. 303 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:16,360 And it is the classic song chop up your mother, which is super 304 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:18,840 fun. And I can't help but think of 305 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,600 this movie every time I hear it because it's where I heard this 306 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,880 song and then it got added to my playlist. 307 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,160 So obviously every time I hear it I go oh now I want to watch 308 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,200 Alone in the Dark. So now we wait a whole other 309 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,240 day. We now have the family. 310 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,960 They still have no power. They have police protection. 311 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:46,640 Also sidebar forgot to mention, when the wife and sister get 312 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,560 arrested for protesting, they meet a guy in jail who lets them 313 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,880 take his phone call. Thus he gets to come back to the 314 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,840 house with them and have dinner and meet the psychiatrist and he 315 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:06,080 becomes the second man in the crew to kind of help fortify the 316 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,080 house. You know, they've got a police 317 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,080 officer there that's going to have dinner with them and patrol 318 00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:15,360 and that's when the stuff hits the fan. 319 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Only I didn't say stuff, you know what I'm saying? 320 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,440 It gets. Crazy on the drop of a dime. 321 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,920 This movie gets crazy and we keep hearing noises outside and 322 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,560 the family is nervous. The sun has gone down, darkness 323 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,840 encroaches their house, everything is candlelit, but 324 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:40,160 we're getting that super cool 1980s blue lighting that I 325 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,880 absolutely love. And the police officer goes 326 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,200 outside to secure the perimeter as it were, you know, do the old 327 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,160 back and forth, anybody out there, do you hear something? 328 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,640 Must have been nothing, one of those situations, the old 329 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,760 nothing, nothing, something. And he does get caught by the 330 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,240 old nothing, nothing, something, pacing back and forth, doing his 331 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,400 thing. We keep cutting back inside the 332 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,560 house. We're we're getting the family's 333 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,640 reaction. Then we get this super cool kind 334 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,120 of a wide shot where we can see the cop, but we can see past the 335 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:17,440 cop, past all the blue lighting, all the night timeness into the 336 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,480 window of the house, which is illuminated by candlelight. 337 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,760 And the whole family kind of leaning and looking out this 338 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,440 window, you know, with bated breath what's going on out 339 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,360 there. And then the police officer gets 340 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:34,800 smoked by the crossbow and he's hanging by the tree, blood 341 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,280 pouring out of his mouth, and he's crying. 342 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,240 This is an excellent death, one of the best deaths in the movie. 343 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,360 It's pretty rough to watch. And it's obvious that the crazy 344 00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:49,560 people are using this police officers bait. 345 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,480 You know, come on out. Come get them. 346 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,600 Come on and save them. I dare you. 347 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,160 And they don't because the father realizes that it's bait. 348 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,440 So he says, Nope, we're not going out there, lock the doors, 349 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,280 staying safe. Then we keep getting the crazies 350 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,840 attempting to break into the house. 351 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,400 It is top notch terrifying at times because we have the threat 352 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,760 of this little girl getting injured as well. 353 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,360 You know, if it was just a husband and wife and a sister, 354 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,240 the threat level, it would still be there. 355 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,520 But the added component of having a child during all of 356 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,840 this is really bothersome for me. 357 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,880 So because you know, you want to keep your kids safe, but we've 358 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,720 had no indication throughout this entire movie that this dad 359 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,000 could do anything to keep his family safe. 360 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,640 He is soft SAWFT soft, such a softie. 361 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,600 He could not fend off anybody. He could not stop any of these 362 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,600 crazies. So knowing that he's their 363 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,520 primary protector, although we do have the other fella from the 364 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,000 jail there now and he seems to be doing a pretty good job. 365 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,160 He's barricading doors and whatever. 366 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,520 But let's hit you with the swerve, bro. 367 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,840 Homie from jail is not all he's cracked up to be. 368 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,840 Homie from jail is actually the bleeder. 369 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,400 That's right, he's the bleeder. And he's. 370 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,920 Already inside the house, so they got to take him out. 371 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,000 Adds a whole other component to the movie. 372 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,120 I just spoiled. I should have said spoiler 373 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,080 alert, guys. I didn't say spoiler alert. 374 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,760 So retroactive spoiler alert for this movie. 375 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,000 My goodness, is there some amazing stuff going on in this 376 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,520 movie, especially in this last 20 to 30 minutes of the movie. 377 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:45,040 Pretty much everybody gets like a little redeeming piece there 378 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,520 at the end of the movie. The little girl is so scared but 379 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,400 she is the one that gets the knife and hands the knife to her 380 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,960 mom so her mom can take out one of the crazies. 381 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:57,920 Father attempts to take out Dynamo. 382 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,080 He. Can't really handle. 383 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,520 Dynamo, but he can handle Martin Landau. 384 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,000 Who it's? Sort of a cop out. 385 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,320 Martin Landau gets stabbed, stumbles out through a door and 386 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,640 then we never see him again. So. 387 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,680 He could, technically. Still be alive in that universe. 388 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,360 Not not right now, because Martin Landau is better than 389 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:25,360 shit, but he could be alive in Alone in the Dark. 390 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,520 Maybe there's an after after after after credits that I 391 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,360 missed, but I'd like to think in my brain. 392 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,000 That he's alive, but. For the sake of the splatter 393 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,640 facts, he got a tally mark. In fact, the craziest person in 394 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,200 the movie. Jack Palance, Curly from City. 395 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,320 Slickers gets to live, gets to fight another day as he's about 396 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,880 to kill the entire family. The power comes back on, saved 397 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,120 by electricity. And wouldn't you know it of in 398 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,560 one of the funniest pieces in this movie, as the power comes 399 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,200 back on, it's on the news. News position. 400 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,560 For you folks out there. If you don't know that term, now 401 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,560 you do. The news is on and fucking the 402 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,680 doctor that they believed was murdered is not murdered. 403 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,960 He's on the TV talking about the escaped inmates. 404 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:30,320 So Jack Palance gets to see first hand that his whole 405 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:36,280 convoluted scheme was BS and thus he allows the family to 406 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,480 live and he gets to walk out into the world which is just as 407 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,320 crazy as the insane asylum and he gets to live amongst the 408 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,600 crazy people. Where? 409 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,600 Where does he live amongst the crazy people? 410 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,240 He goes back to the sick Fox Punk concert. 411 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,840 Which? Would now be two days in a row 412 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,520 because like I said, it does not take place over the same night. 413 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:09,040 We've we've had daylight come back and we've had nighttime 414 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,920 come back. So did the sick. 415 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,960 Fox their their gig gets interrupted by the power outage. 416 00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:20,600 Did they just stay in town, maybe in the backroom of this 417 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,640 bar? And then when the power came 418 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,360 back on, they were like yo put $5 door charge. 419 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Queue up the shit I mean. Everything's still plugged in. 420 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,960 It's ready to go. Where were we? 421 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,040 Yeah, chop up your mother. 234 Bom, bom, bom. 422 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:41,040 You know, like it's ridiculous. I don't, I don't know how this 423 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,120 they, you know, they they like to stay in the same city a 424 00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:47,520 couple nights when they're on tour at the same bar. 425 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,440 And then that's that's the tour. Three nights at Curly's Pub and 426 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:59,840 then we'll go 20 miles to Abilene, TX or wherever the 427 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,120 fuck. I don't know, but this is a 428 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,800 great movie, guys. I, I love it. 429 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,400 I love everything about it. I, I have a ton of fun with this 430 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,080 movie. I I don't want to say truly that 431 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,960 this is the beginning of a home invasion movie because even last 432 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,240 house on the left, which predates it by 10 years, right, 433 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,760 is technically a home invasion movie because they show up and 434 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,720 they kind of invade the sanctity of the home. 435 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,680 It's not it's it's not a new thing by any means. 436 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,640 I guess maybe for the standard formula of a home invasion 437 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,760 movie. This. 438 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,800 Is one of the. Templates, maybe, is what I'm 439 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,240 trying to say. I don't I there's so many out 440 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,040 there, but this one definitely holds its own. 441 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,480 It's it's up here when it comes to those types of movies. 442 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:50,800 Oh man.

So let me just set the record 467 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,840 straight real quick for you. The Brown Panty Award is an 468 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,280 award we like to give someone from the movie who gets offed 469 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,200 that we didn't want to see get off. 470 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,160 The people who get it in the Brown Panty award usually are 471 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,280 the most sympathetic characters, at least for us. 472 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,720 So my Brown Panty award is going to go to Ray the Orderly. 473 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,480 I'm pretty sure he's an orderly and that in What's screwed up 474 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,560 about Ray the Orderly or janitor or whatever this dude is. 475 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,400 He has his own living quarters. But they make this dude live on 476 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000 the 4th floor with the craziest of the crazy. 477 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,880 How is that fair? Even when there is electricity, 478 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,800 he's still just right down the hall. 479 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,040 It's not they can leave their rooms. 480 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,640 It doesn't make any sense. And he's not even a big dude. 481 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,040 He's kind of a small guy, a really nice guy, but they make 482 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,000 him live right down the hall from the craziest killers in the 483 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,360 entire building.

So of course, when they're 488 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,600 planning and plotting and leaving the insane asylum real 489 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,080 quick, we got to swing on end old Ray's room and snap his 490 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,680 neck. It's sad, it's not fair, and I'm 491 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,600 angry about it. Every time I watch the movie, 492 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,240 I'm angry about it. So Ray gets the brown panty 493 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,720 award because how you going to do them like that? 494 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,200 That's.

I have all the awards. 500 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,400 Walter, I don't do the show without having awards ready. 501 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,800 It's a perfect execution. So mom, it's a perfect 502 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,040 execution. Covered in blood, it's a perfect 503 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,240 execution. Just make it dog. 504 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,440 It's a perfect execution and it's always fun. 505 00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:38,670 OK, so my perfect. Execution Award is going to go 506 00:31:38,670 --> 00:31:44,720 to an unnamed character who's just Luton out there, looting, 507 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,080 minding his own business, breaking his own set of laws, 508 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,400 doing his own thing during the blackout, and the bleeder just 509 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,360 stops him dead in his tracks, no pun intended or or pun intended, 510 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,840 however you want to look at it, and whips out the old Rod Lane, 511 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,960 Nightmare on Elm Street Garden sheer tiller thing with the 512 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,840 three hooks and he. Smokes this dude. 513 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,240 Right in the neck and it's a really good gore prosthetic. 514 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,960 It's a really nice looking effect. 515 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,800 But he wasn't, I mean, he he was a bad guy. 516 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,720 I mean, he was looting. He's breaking the law, he's 517 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,960 doing nefarious things, but I don't think he deserved to get 518 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,040 sheared in the face. It looks good. 519 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,440 It looks really nice and it also cements right. 520 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,240 Then and there. The bleeder don't play around 521 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,640 and innocent people are going to die. 522 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,320 Now prior to that they kill Ray but that's cuz he was talking 523 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,480 smack. They kill my boy Steve Dash. 524 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,240 On their way out. But it's to steal his car. 525 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,520 It's a means to an end. They have got to get off the 526 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,800 road. They can't just be walking 527 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,040 around. I mean, even Michael Myers stole 528 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,320 a car. You know, to get gone, you got 529 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,080 to put some miles between you and the insane asylum. 530 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,080 And the best way to do that is in a motor vehicle and you can 531 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,080 at least kind of pass yourself off as a normal dude, you know, 532 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,760 put a hat on and just drive the speed limit and get your ass out 533 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,760 of Dodge. So those two that that were 534 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:23,440 killed, I feel like the car was a necessity. 535 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Ray was revenge. But the fella who takes the 536 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,760 garden shear to the face and the neck, he wasn't doing anything. 537 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,200 It immediately goes, you go whoa. 538 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,240 OK, so they they really are crazy. 539 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,320 They have a mission. But. 540 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,360 There will be casualties of war. This is going to be a rough one. 541 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,360 And you would be right, because like I said earlier, they 542 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,320 literally run over the mailman. Who's on a bicycle? 543 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,840 They run over the. Mailman and he flies like 62 544 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,240 feet in the air. The footage is even shot at a 545 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,159 Dutch angle so he looks like Mick Foley from Hell in the 546 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,480 Cell. They kill his dude just because 547 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,600 Martin Landau wants his hat. That's crazy. 548 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,120 If you want one R hats, all you got to do is. 549 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,120 Buy it with. Your money. 550 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,639 I'm sorry for all the shilling. I should stop shilling. 551 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,520 I just. I'm really excited about our new 552 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,400 gear. You get your survival. 553 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,520 Tips from a dead guy?

Walter Paisley. 560 00:35:10,220 --> 00:35:16,660 Has a very simple survival tip on how to survive alone in the 561 00:35:16,660 --> 00:35:20,620 dark. How about actual medication and 562 00:35:20,620 --> 00:35:26,980 real therapy? Wiser words were. 563 00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:29,700 Never spoken. And I'm aware that we have a 564 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,480 Walter who gives really bad advice in the basement, and a 565 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,560 Walter who gives you good advice wrote this book. 566 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,880 Rest in peace, Walter. You think that's good advice? 567 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,880 You're as good as dead, I'm saying. 568 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,200 Medication and real therapy might have broke down some of 569 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,120 the walls so they weren't so crazy. 570 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,800 That's what I'm saying man, the more you. 571 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,000 Talk, the more you make me want to watch something else. 572 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,560 Got something? Better. 573 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,640 Duh. I do have a tie in. 574 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,040 And again for. You new listeners who don't 575 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,480 necessarily know these segments. What the tie in is, is let's say 576 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,120 you're having a double feature night. 577 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,560 You need 2 movies that kind of have a similar vibe, a similar 578 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,960 feel. You know, you go to the video 579 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,040 store, let's say you're renting alone in the dark. 580 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,880 You walk up to the counter, you hand it to the weird guy behind 581 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,920 the counter and he says yo alone in the dark. 582 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,440 That's the shit. Well, have you ever seen this? 583 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,400 Because it's kind of the same. And then you get a second 584 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,480 recommendation from a weirdo. Whether you take it or not, 585 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,440 that's up to you. There are no wrong answers for 586 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,880 what your tie in is. You can pick the weirdest 587 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,360 things, whatever you're feeling, how you going to start your 588 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,360 night, how you going to end your night. 589 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,160 And then you let us know in the comments because that's very 590 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,520 important to us. It's very important to the video 591 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,160 store culture, which is the entire reason that this podcast 592 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,400 was started, because we're attempting to keep that video 593 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,280 store culture alive even if we sold our video store and moved 594 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,280 into a shitty cabin in the woods. 595 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:34,440 That being said, my tie in is going to also be a home invasion 596 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,840 movie. One that I feel. 597 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,920 Reinvigorated the genre, one that I feel is smarter than it 598 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,080 lets on. It looks good, it sounds good 599 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,600 synth wave music. It's got really good kills. 600 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:55,720 It's got a stacked cast of folks that mean something to the 601 00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,760 horror genre. You got Barbara Crampton, you 602 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,000 got AJ Bowen, you got Larry Fesson. 603 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,600 Then I'm I'm not going to go into the other folks, but 604 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,280 they're in a bunch of other stuff too. 605 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,440 So my tie in is your next. Oh. 606 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,520 I know it's good I. It wouldn't be a bad. 607 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,240 Movie. I would not pick a bad tie in 608 00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,240 movie. That's not what I do. 609 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,360 I don't mess around with that. I take that segment seriously. 610 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,760 I'm not just going to throw some bull crap at it Yeah, so sorry 611 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,360 about that. He likes to interrupt. 612 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,720 He's very bored all the time. But if you haven't seen your 613 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:43,080 next. It is just. 614 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,960 It's a. Staple in the home invasion 615 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,160 movies. It's really good. 616 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,760 It's so much fun. I think I would start my night 617 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,960 with Alone in the Dark and then I would wrap it up with your 618 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,880 next just so you can kind of see you'd have alone in the Dark, 619 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,000 fresh in the noodle. Then you watch your next and you 620 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,440 start to pick up on the parallels. 621 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:11,280 You pick, you pick up on all the unique things that, and I'm, I'm 622 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,840 definitely not saying you're next is like ripping off alone 623 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,640 in the dark, but there's some homages, there's some, there's 624 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,400 some things that are done almost exactly the same. 625 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,840 And I, I love that. I I think both movies are damn 626 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,160 near perfect. And they're in constant. 627 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,120 Rotation in my house. I don't know about anybody else, 628 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,360 but I would love to hear what you think about both movies. 629 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,480 Does that mean it's time? To play the game, yeah, I guess 630 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,120 that would mean it's. Time to play the game Time. 631 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:53,280 To play the game time. To play the game. 632 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,840 That's. Right, it's time to play the 633 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,000 game. And if you're new here, welcome. 634 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,320 But you're probably scratching your head asking yourself, hey, 635 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,600 hey, hey, Roger. What is the? 636 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,360 Game. Well, the game is a deep cut in 637 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,040 and of itself where you've got to pick a prop from the movie 638 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,520 that we are covering, but it can't be a well known prop. 639 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,760 So since we're covering Alone in the Dark from 1982, which is not 640 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,360 a well known movie, I'm going to go ahead and say there's not a 641 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,320 lot. On the table. 642 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,360 That is super well known. I don't think there's very many 643 00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:29,080 low hanging fruit props in the movie, but pick something 644 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,160 strange, pick something weird, something from the background, 645 00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:34,960 whatever. Articles of clothing. 646 00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:39,120 Weapon, props, whatever. Something that that you would be 647 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,840 proud to own, that you would have a story that's not just so 648 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,400 blatantly obvious. So that with that being said, 649 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,800 like if we were covering an Elm Street movie, you wouldn't say, 650 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,560 I'll take the Freddie glove. Well, that's, you know, of 651 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,320 course everyone would, but that doesn't have a story that 652 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,360 doesn't have weight to it where you can go. 653 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,880 This was actually used in this weird scene from this movie and 654 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,960 you know you have some sort of lore to go with it. 655 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,800 Plus everyone would murder you if you try to take a Freddy 656 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,880 glove because every asshole on the set is they they want the 657 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,400 glove and you can't have it. That being said, make it weird, 658 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:21,120 make it strange, make it crazy. My prop, which I did sort of 659 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,240 feel was low hanging fruit but I don't care, is my show and I can 660 00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:27,800 do whatever the hell I want and if you don't like it you can say 661 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,320 something about it in the comments but my prop is going to 662 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:36,160 be the bleeders hockey mask. Yeah, that's right. 663 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,080 I'm taking the Bleeders hockey mask, which seems a little low 664 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,640 Bros into a low hanging fruit. Well, that's what I say. 665 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,720 I say the Bleeder has the coolest look in the movie. 666 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,680 Yeah. Jack Palace looks crazy. 667 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,320 Yeah. Martin Landau looks crazy. 668 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,880 Yeah, Yeah, that. That's true. 669 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:56,640 Dynamo also looks crazy, but the Bleeder is. 670 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,200 Dawning. Full blown slasher mask, full 671 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,160 blown horror icon territory. The bleeder kicks ass. 672 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,560 So I want the mask and I'm going to take it because that's all 673 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,600 there is to it. But before I wrap. 674 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:17,040 This up guys, I want to say that this new era of the Deep Cut 675 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,920 podcast that we've got going on, there's going to be some really 676 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,920 fun stuff, some unique stuff going on. 677 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,040 The formula pretty much going to stay the same. 678 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,240 I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record for the 679 00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:31,080 people who are long time listeners, but we've been 680 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,440 getting a lot, a lot, a lot of new subscribers. 681 00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:36,560 I don't know what's going on, I don't know why it's going on, 682 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,840 but I'm happy to see the needle move in and I'm happy that you 683 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,160 guys are out there listening to what we have to say and paying 684 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,640 attention. So. 685 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,240 That being said, just get. Ready. 686 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,680 There's going to be some fun. Stuff going on, some little itty 687 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,000 bitty things that we're doing that are going to kind of spruce 688 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,800 up the show. And I'm excited for it and I'm 689 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,080 excited for you guys to see what you think. 690 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,880 But the plan going forward, obviously, is to keep dipping 691 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,880 into these weirder movies, to keep doing what we've been 692 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,480 doing, but on a little bit of a bigger scale, and also be 693 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,120 bringing you all kinds of weird stuff. 694 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,480 Top fives. We had a poll and I asked like, 695 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,480 what are you guys most looking forward to? 696 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,000 Obscure movies? Top fives and episodes about 697 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,880 movie subjects, real life stuff, because I know a lot of people 698 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,120 like when we inject a little bit of real life into these podcasts 699 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,800 about who we are and how we get down and, you know, these little 700 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,360 side stories and things like that. 701 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,480 And, and rest assured, all of that stuff is going to be in 702 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,400 there. But the show is taking a a 703 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,880 little bit of a a turn when it comes to movie coverage. 704 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:52,120 Just more theatrics. Really. 705 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,160 Because I don't want to be like everybody else. 706 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,000 I feel like that's boring. And Speaking of boring, I'm 707 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,360 rambling, so I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up. 708 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,120 So I suppose on that note, I should probably get going 709 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,200 because after all, there's a lot of movies out there and 710 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,800 somebody's got to watch them, so why not me, right? 711 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,240 Was I supposed to say? Something. 712 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:19,080 Tell them about the website. Tell them yeah, don't. 713 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,200 Forget to like. Confidence is good.
