Hey everyone, just a heads up. Today's film includes a scene of familiar side which we discuss in length
but not in grotesque detail on the show. And if that is something that is triggering to you,
we want to give you a moment to stop and go find something else to listen to.
Alright, enjoy the show.
If anyone tells you this isn't the best movie that you have ever seen,
then send out your hops with switch plates in their mouth
to murder them while driving.
We saw the visitor, so you know what that means. This force-related war-back is getting better Like a wild snow-vest walk, women just in the Kelly

And he's on the line
Crinking eight feet
And it's cause they cool with his eyes
Cause they're bad jiff
Funny looking kind of night
All in shrews
You can't live or watch
And let's get your land
Don't let's make the show
On the monkey's shots in the paint
There's just a bunch of movies
Why be making it great?
Here's a real question
For the audience, let's get it, hey
Hello people of Earth, and hello, people of Seattle!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
We are live at the Moore Theater, and I am tall, John Sheer.
Yeah! John Sheer. And today we are talking about a horror film that trumps every other horror film.
The cast amazing.
John Houston, Sam Peckinpaw, Shelley Winters.
This movie is not fucking around unless you mean when it comes to plot because then it
is kind of fucking around how to distill this movie.
Well there was an alien many years ago who came to this earth and had sex with women, leaving
little remnants of his seed inside children. One of them is now coming to full power,
but needs a brother, so they send down John Houston,
who's dressed beautifully in khakis.
To make sure the end of the world doesn't happen,
or that the Atlanta Hawks win the NBA championships?
That's kind of the plot.
If you've not seen this movie, I highly recommend,
go stop what you're doing, watch this movie.
It's amazing.
Here to break down the film, though, is one of my co-hosts.
Please welcome Mr. Jason Mannzougas. How we doing Seattle? That's right.
That's right.
Mezzanine?
Okay.
Now we're talking.
Jason and-
Who are exhausted from moonwalking?
Jason, have you ever seen the visitor?
Never seen.
Didn't know about it.
I loved this movie this movie started and I was
like yes I don't know what this is but I am stoned enough to watch there is a
definite artistry at play and it's told me that this was some sort of
Yoderouski's like side movie,
that like they all took opium and made a movie
because it's all directors.
Weirdly, it's a bunch of next-level directors
who are in this movie with like 1970s honey boo boo
as the bad guy.
This is, this movie is awesome.
This movie is the Omen meets Rosemary's Baby,
meets the exorcist, meets Star Wars.
I don't know what it's crazy.
It is...
It's the birds.
The birds.
The birds.
It really is every heart.
It's a real life-go-d.
It's its own thing.
What I liked about it is this movie is an experimental film
in a good way.
I think, I totally agree.
Here to help break down this movie even a little bit more. It's my
other co-hosts. Please welcome Miss June Diane Rayfield. How are you, Jim?
I'm doing well.
How are you, Paul?
I'm very good.
Thank you for asking.
Jim, where does this movie fall for you?
I know that horror, you have a conflicted relationship with it.
Oh, I enjoy horror.
You do?
Yes.
But it scares you.
Of course.
I think it scares everyone.
But do it avoid the intent?
I don't care for Gore, and I don't care for...
Hell?
I don't care for, like, the sort of, saw movies,
the torture and horror.
You also don't like a scare.
I love a scare.
Do you do?
You seemingly do?
You're like a scar.
You are married to each other.
This is fascinating.
Guys, I'm so sorry our time is up for this week.
Next week, we'll continue to delve into whether you like horror or don't.
Thank you so much. Can we write you a check or do you take Venmo?
Yeah, you can send me Venmo and just like give me thumbs up.
Okay.
I've never used Venmo.
You want to make it public?
Okay.
But no, I mean, I don't know how do you spend it.
But there are times where I'm like, let's watch a scary movie.
No, no, you get upset when a scary movie is broached.
Is it scary?
I'm not into it.
So I think you misunderstood me.
All right.
Here's the thing.
You know, you guys keep talking about this.
Let's us step out.
Why don't we all just step out?
I don't like when you scare me.
God.
That is true.
And I don't like.
How does that work?
I have done some scares to June that it had not been nice.
Yeah, like what?
Well, like we'll be talking like this normally,
and then I'd walk into the other room
and I'd have a mask hidden,
and then I'd walk back into the room with the mask on.
And we're in the same clothes, just with a mask.
That's all easy, she's not a good scare.
And then one time, watch the way she reacts to it.
Well, it is scary, it's surprising, it's very scary actually.
And one time...
You know he's in that other room.
It doesn't matter.
You know he's still wearing the same clothes.
All that's changed is he's re-entered the room in a mask.
It's certainly just Paul in a mask.
It's but it's terrifying.
It's terrifying mask.
It would be scary if you left the room,
climbed out a window from that room,
walked around the house, put on a mask,
and a jumpsuit, and walked into a door.
He still gives him these ideas, Jason.
Here's the thing.
Here's what I'll say.
Here's what I'll say.
And I mean this with every loving bone in my body,
I will help you scare you.
Thank you.
You're not going to do that.
June, do you remember what's the biggest scare I've ever given you?
Well, so when we were in your first apartment, this was a very bad scare.
And I honestly, I haven't recovered fully from it.
I walked into the apartment with pitch black. 16 years ago.
I walked into the bathroom for watching a movie,
and I thought Paul was in his bedroom,
and I walked into the bathroom.
I opened the door, it's pitch black,
and then he just turns on a lightsaber.
LAUGHTER
Oh my God.
The idea that a lightsaber is terrifying?
Like the nerdyest of things?
I wasn't expecting a person to be there, staring at me, holding a weapon.
The way you're holding it though is like a dick.
The way you're holding it is like it was not meant as a scare but it's a bit of a rotticism
Are you ready for you?
It was
You are very easily scared anyway the question remains that this movie scare you
Yeah
It's in a great way. loved, I also loved this movie.
Right?
Absolutely.
I loved it.
Everybody's giving great performances.
Yeah.
It's visually inventive.
I was into this movie.
Yeah, now I don't know who the good guys are.
I don't know who the bad guys are.
I don't know who I'm rooting for.
I don't think anybody's good.
Yeah.
And I wasn't that concerned with it.
I want it desperately to play the role of the mother.
I mean, that's an amazing, unbelievable character.
A character who is paralyzed at the end of the first act
and the movie isn't concerned at all with her getting used to,
or dealing with the emotional up people
and being paralyzed.
She is just easily plugged back into her own life,
just like, ah, ah, ah, everything's great.
Everything's great.
She is resilient.
And any other movie would be about this woman
grappling with becoming a paraplegic.
She's a real...
No, she's just like, I don't put another baby in my body.
Like, I don't care that the bottom half doesn't work.
I just don't wanna carry another child.
Well, guys, let's, we got...
Yeah.
Well, let's get another voice into the mix here tonight.
Whoa.
Very special just for Seattle, we have a guest here tonight.
You know him from shows like Children's Hospital and Transparent.
Please welcome a how did this get made all-star, Mr. Rob Pumel!
Pumel!
Pumel!
I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy.
I'm not going to be a good guy. I did wear my Seahawks shoes
I was gonna do my impression coming out here of
One of the fake birds in the movie I'm a pretty bird. I'm a pretty bird
But I didn't want to get ahead of ourselves well well, Rob
I just you know we were talking about scaring. And you are one of the best.
Master, master, scarer, master.
Well, I like scarer.
I like being scared.
I wanted to be a part of that conversation
in June because.
Jason just walked off stage.
He'll be back.
He's preparing for a scare.
He's making cup of noodles.
But I have seen you
Very, very scared and not in joint like one time we went as a group. Yeah, I think you were there
Halloween Halloween more nights. I'm sorry and you know, it's one of those things where you know
There's mases and people jumping out at you and grabbing you and stuff and June
You know just try to make the best of
it and would appeal to these people as fellow actors. And would take them aside and say,
sir, sir, please, I know that you are human being and an actor and I am also an actor.
And there's no reason for this. June would also do this, which is when you're walking around the park, there are people
who will try and sneak through the crowd until they're right up next to you and then they
have got a noise maker like something that makes a chainsaw noise or something like that.
And if June cut sight of any of those people moving within the group, she would be like,
no.
No, I see you.
I see you, no.
No.
Listen, a lot of the men playing those parts
are enjoying it a little too much.
Okay, a little too much.
For sure.
I don't think we can cancel ghouls.
How did this be?
How did this be?
So the visitor, Rob, have you ever heard of this movie before?
No, but I'm on board also.
I feel like this is a great movie to take mushrooms and just sit back.
In general.
In general acts.
Wow.
Yeah, visually just striking.
I will say, don't get ahead of ourselves.
The music, too much.
No, no!
What?
No!
No!
To my brain!
Hold on!
Wait.
To, well, let me-
Boo!
To boo!
Boo!
How about this?
To loud. Now, boo! How about this? To loud.
Now, boo!
To loud?
No, when John Houston's theme music comes on,
it every time I was like, fuck, yes.
I love that theme music.
It's basically from the Rockford files, it feels like it's teed,
and it is an old man's theme music.
But there were some scenes where they're playing this unnecessarily alarming music when nothing
scared me.
I know.
I know.
Well, the poor little girl is stretching out strangely at gymnastics and they're like The music sounded like birds, which I also loved.
Well, the music, I will listen to this music like when I bring a lady home.
It is, this is pressed as a vinyl because this movie was re-released by Alamo Drafthouse, so they
made a vinyl of the actual soundtracks.
I wanted to, but send it to me.
But this is what was odd about it.
The movie opens up with this, like the producers like to think, Georgia and the mayor of Atlanta.
And I'm like, oh, this movie takes place now.
Boom, a hard cut to desert wasteland,
blown out world, two shadowy figures staring at each other,
I'm like, whoa, then it's a hard cut to blonde Jesus.
And I'm like, whoa.
And it's like, boom, hard cut to John Houston,
and bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
And I'm like, what?
So good, fuck.
So good.
The scene in the beginning with Jesus, all of the like young bald kids.
I was like, what is this? Sitting around on footstools.
Yes, well, he just tells stories. Everything happens in such close-ups. I just thought this movie was
exciting to watch. See, the movie didn't really take off for me.
I was worried about it for the first, probably 10 minutes.
Once this girl shot her mom, picked up a gun and shot her mom.
I was like, I'm watching.
I'm listening.
Then it really, to me, just took off.
And then it didn't stop.
When she smashes her mom through the aquarium,
where is she from?
There's no fish in it.
Is it a water feature?
Honestly, I want to talk about the number of water
features in that.
Yes.
I want to talk about that house.
What?
What?
That house had a frother machine in it,
or a Pac-Man machine.
Pong?
It was a huge pong.
Well, they were playing pong, but there was also
a video game like, like, Rack.
I was wondering, did they just find this cool house in Atlanta?
I think so, I think so, yeah.
Because it seemed like that was not a set.
I don't know, it seemed like that was just some building stuff.
I mean, and we're to believe it's the owner of
Landtendrickson. Yeah, Landtendrickson is the owner of the Atlanta Hawks. It's not the Hawks. It's the Atlanta Rebels
Yeah, and it's the San Francisco
Miners that's right. That's right. Oh, wait, so it's his house that they're living in?
No, no, oh, they're living in their own house. They're living in their own house. She's dating that God
That's not his home. So that's that woman's home. Yeah, correct women are allowed to own homes
Is that true? I know this is hard to imagine. No, yeah, it is true. We can now
Let me explain this
June June you don't understand.
Women are allowed to own home.
June, a man is talking.
I'm so sorry.
So I want to interrupt again.
I think what June was concerned about was,
June was saying, June, even you could own your own home.
But it was odd.
And I think I was trying to make heads or tails of this movie
because Lance Henderson is dating the woman who becomes paralyzed
But they're not married. Did they have a kid? But she seems very
Not his kid. That's not his daughter. Remember they're sleeping together and she says I have something terrible to tell you
Something very wrong inside of me. Well, there is, it's set up in a weird way
because she seems to be working in tandem with Lance Henderson,
the young girl.
What?
No.
Oh, no, no.
She wants him to succeed in impregnating her mother.
Right, to get another, to get a son.
Otherwise, who do I want?
But why is she trying to help the rebels
when basketball games?
Like, that was like, it seemed like it seemed to me
like at one point when he's being interviewed
and our hold on audience, hold on, we'll get to you.
When he's being interviewed on the side of the court
and a very aggressive interview.
Very aggressive.
From behind, the guy comes up and is like, where's your money come from?
That's an open, an open. Where's your money come from?
It's an open checkbook. It literally is like a timeout question
and a, like a Q&A thing. And, but it felt like he was like, I got
Satine Spawn. So we're gonna, the rebels are good this year. Like I feel like, I think part of his deal with the devil is that the rebels will be good.
Well, that is the Rosemary's baby element of it where there's like a
couple of men in a room who are deciding that the woman who is Lance Hendrix,
who is Katie's mother, is the, is the harbinger of the anti-Christ,
or something, some powerful, negative force.
Satine's, yes, thank you.
And that, that, by the way, do you guys get it?
Satine.
What is it?
Satan.
Oh, Satan, like pretty cool.
Pretty like, oh, it's a real thinker.
I honestly was confused because I thought for the beginning part of it, I was like, is this
like an indictment of the NBA?
Is it like the NBA is in with like space?
Well, but I still think your question stands, which is, why did the little girl care if they
want or not?
It seemed to me that it not seemed she was just like flexing her power.
I think that was just a flex.
Okay, that was just a sheer flex.
It's just a tilt of the eye glasses, explode the rim.
Yes. Which is what I can do. She exploded that was just a tear flex. It's just a tilt of the eye glasses. Explode the rim.
Yes. Which happens.
See what I can do.
She exploded a rim which no one questions.
Like that's not something that happens.
Like if she deflated the basketball,
like she basically did something that is otherworldly
and is like, okay, that other team won.
No, no, no, no.
If the rim explodes, I'm sure there's some rule in the book
that we got to take it back here, guys.
We got to, like, that doesn't count.
The RIM explodes.
Like, trip them or do something.
Don't just, like, flex that hard at a half-attended MBA game.
Also, is the bird that she has around that she controls?
I'm just curious. is it a hawk or
is it an eagle?
That's a hawk.
Someone said something about an eagle.
It's a hawk.
It's a falcon.
It's a falcon.
It's a falcon.
The Atlanta falcon.
Really?
Okay.
No.
Is she controlling that bird or is that bird?
Birds are a very big part of the good and bad guys team.
Because you brought up, you June brought up something really interesting because you said,
you said, I don't know who's good bad. I also don't know who's good bad.
But here's, I did have a printout, April Halli gave me a printout of the opening monologue.
And I'll just read you this. This is Jesus, is this monologue?
Yes, blah, Jesus said it.
I would say not Jesus, handsome Jesus.
Yes, all right.
Commander.
White Jesus is what we should call him.
There is, by the way, Jesus did not look like this.
So this is, it says says in order to find and destroy Zatine, Commander Yahweh tried many methods.
One of these methods was an immense army of birds trained to hunt and kill, but when one
of these birds did discover Zatine, he transformed himself into an eagle and a
managed to destroy them except for three which survived and wounded him fatally
in the brain. But now Zatine now dead lived on in another way before he was killed.
He made it with earthwomen procrating numerous children thereby transmitting
his wicked spirit and evil powers through new generations, yet the struggle continued and goes on for Yahweh's descendants pursuit
the progeny of Zettines' lest their contamination spread through the cosmos.
Okay, wait a second.
Now I am actually more confused because so, but we meet the little girl's dad her bio dad right
Sam yeah isn't Sam peck and pa the doctor her you know you're in abortion
her father very sexy music behind the abortion scene by the way so if that's
Katie's bio dad then then her mom wasn't insuminated by this. Zatine.
The movie didn't explain that element of it.
Is he supposed to be like a Joseph, like not the real father, like actually Satan somehow
got in there?
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's why they broke up.
I don't know that he's the real dad.
I think he's like the Earth Dad. But one thing we're neglecting,
Earth Dad.
You know, like my Earth Dad is really up my ass.
But my demon dad's pretty cool.
One thing that jumps out at me that no one here
has the courage to discuss is the speed of wheelchair elevators.
A realistic speed.
I know, because I didn't have that thought, like, wow, technology has gone backward.
I saw that and I was like, I want that.
And I was really impressed with Lance Hendrix
when he first comes to the house.
He knows that I operated immediately.
Like they come in, she's like, I'm back from the hospital.
Hi, I'm in a wheelchair.
And he, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Like no one, like that house is ready to change.
There lives are unchanged.
Yeah.
There lives are, Bay, she is in a wheelchair, yes, but everything else, they don't
have to, they don't deal with the physical or mental impact of her recent, very recent
paralysis.
Did she?
Did her daughter's hand?
Well, to your point, when she leaves the hospital in the wheelchair, she's still being wheeled around the out of the room.
She's laughing it up.
Oh, yeah.
She's having a great time.
She is practicing radical acceptance.
She's alive.
Just like, these are my circumstances.
I have to radically accept what's going on here.
I would think the first half of the movie
she would have been miserable walking and was like I
cannot wait to not do this anymore. She also how about this? No I mean because
there are nefarious you know like the the cabal of evil men who control
Lance Hendrix in her telling him you have to impregnate her. One of the head of that organization is her doctor.
He's called Dr. Walker.
Who's treating a woman who can no longer walk?
I was like, okay.
Well, he has her unconscious.
Why not impregnate her while she's undergoing surgery?
I don't know because I also don't know, does that mean that Lance Hendrix?
Hendrix and No, whatever.
Is evil because was it his firm that they needed or just?
No, Lance Hendrix and his evil because he's Lance Hendrix.
All right.
If you're casting Lance Hendrix and you're like, oh no, this is a bad guy.
So who's sperm are they putting inside of her?
What?
It doesn't matter, they say. She will just produce an evil boy. With who sperm are they putting inside of her? It doesn't matter they say she will just produce an
evil boy. With any sperm? I believe so. I think so. Oh I see so actually okay. I don't know
the thing. I believe so much talk about sperm. It's the same thing as we're comfortable. Well
with it just there's so many people we're talking about sperm so much. Well here's the thing, who here has sperm that we can have.
Oh wow.
A couple of them.
Wow, look at that.
No, no, I mean who here has it like in a cup right now.
Oh wow.
So wait, now I'm understanding that.
So many hands, that's the bummer.
So Katie's, all right, so Katie's bio dad is her dad.
It's just she was always going to,
her, the mom was always going to produce.
I think we're all red what that thing that,
that white Jesus talks about is that there are certain people
who have the lineage of Satan, what is it, Zaytan?
Or Satan.
Whoever they have, who have that, who have the capacity
to produce his children and she is the, they say at one point she is the only person of
this lifetime. Regardless of what sperm is inside of her.
Correct. I believe so. I'm not positive, but I believe so.
Well I want to play this one thing because this is a reveal. This reveal, so after you hear this giant monologue,
which we just put it in the part of.
This is, by the way, John Houston.
This is like, this is the Maltese Falcon.
This is Rio Bravo.
This is El Dorado, right?
This is like one of the great directors.
This is a wonderful actor.
Like, this is wild treasure Sarah Madre
Handsome J. Crue Cote it did make me feel like did George Lucas see this and want him to be Obi-Wan Kenobi?
I mean and then did he make did he make Alex Guinness look like this in Star Wars?
I think vice versa this this cannot in 1980.
So, okay.
Oh, 79, sorry.
Okay.
Does that come out?
Oh, you're real fucking idiot.
Does that contradict my point?
No.
Okay, so, thank you for stopping the show.
All right, so, here we go.
There's a, he comes in and goes like this.
Has it happened again
Our name is Katie Cove's
She'll be eight years old
I mean so you are so mix it down mix it down
Those things are so mix it down mix it down those things are so good
It's so great every time it happened. I was like yes John Houston sting
It's amazing, but it's like so what I guess what we're getting to is this who's evil the mom who has the the the womb that creates evil or the child because he's coming in and saying this.
Has it happened again?
Our name is Katie Collins.
Yeah, no, the child is evil.
The mom is an innocent.
So I'm trying to understand the, I'm trying to understand the teams here, right?
Because so John Houston is trying to get the young girl because she is that team's progeny.
Lance Hendricks and is working for a cabal of men who
is trying to impregnate a woman who doesn't understand that she is producing Zettine's
children. Yes. And then John Houston is also kind of trying to...
John Houston is like some sort of angel who's also then trying to say like, hey, get an abortion
because you have evil inside of you.
All right, so that is essentially what is going on.
She, this poor woman is literally driven mad
by what's happening to her.
She, near the third act of the movie,
she's in her wheelchair like wheeling around the house.
Shelly Winters is watching her wheeling her because she's gone mentally and
saying because she's pregnant with the devil's baby.
But what is this movie by the way?
This movie actually addresses maternal ambivalence really well.
And that was one of the things I loved the most about it was seeing this mother really
struggle with her feelings for her child.
And it's presented in a way where you don't judge her for it, you understand even before
we know Katie's insane.
But we also know that this mother loves her child, but she's having these other feelings.
And very responsibly, she is like,
I should not have more children.
I am struggling with this maternity thing.
But then she lays it out very clearly
to Lance Hendrick's even the first scene.
He's like, I want to get married, I want to do it.
So she's like, no, that's not for me.
I want no more children.
She even says, I don't even know
that I like the one that I have.
Yes.
And he rolls, he rolls off of her
and says something like crazy woman.
But by the way, are you talking about this?
The sex scene in the bare skin rug.
Yeah.
But it's similar.
Mia Farrow and Rosemary's baby feels this,
Liam Remick in the Omen feels this incredible difficulty between wanting to love your child and and
rear this child but knowing that there is some true evil at play here
is why you know she's evil when you see her play pong on a tary
just
bong bong bong bong bong bong
and she messes with that machine
she just cheats it up the worst thing she did in this whole movie was Cheetah Pong.
I like to bring in Mrs. Dalfire to help with the round the house.
Shelly went to her mouth.
I am obsessed with her in this movie.
Amazing. She can do no wrong. Everything she does, every choice she makes, every, every bit of it is perfect.
What about... She slaps K.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E. And she goes, bap! And I think that was a real... Ow, I love the child actor.
This is when, in the 80s, they're like,
fuck it, it's Atlanta, just hit her.
This is when, this is when you could hit a kid
and it was art.
LAUGHTER
Yeah, it really, that was a real hit.
It was a real hit.
Too far. Too far too at all too hits
And that was by the way that was a crazy twist at the end when we find out that Shelley and Jersey
Yeah, she wants to go with him. Yeah
So was she working for was she also
She's there on she's working for him
My past question, and I know that we were getting into some of the stuff the nitty-gritty
But why would they need a babysitter if they had Mrs. Dalfire in the house?
I think Mrs. Dalfire only worked from like nine to five. She was the housekeeper
God she was the housekeeper and what was crazy is John Houston's character is Polish.
In the movie he arrives on a Polish passport, Jersey something or other.
I think that's, I think it's Polish.
And he is just speaking with a straight up American, John Houston ex-boy.
I also love the Jersey Coloscowicz.
I also love the conversation when they're driving at night to the thing.
They're like, do you think that babysitter is a child molester?
Yeah.
And then the daughter calls him a child molester.
Yeah, she's like, I don't like you.
What are you, a child?
Oh, she says that to the detective.
This is it.
Yeah.
It's so weird.
The movies.
Also, as long as we're talking about that, I want to acknowledge that the rate of a babysitter
in Atlanta is only $5 an hour.
Well, this is 1979.
So the idea that John Houston asks for $15.
Oh my God.
And they end up that is amazing.
But he says it like, it will be $15, $5 an hour,
have to pay the agency.
What cut is an agency making it $5 an hour babysitter service?
One of the greatest things I've ever seen in a movie ever
is Katie Shooter Mother with a handgun.
At which point the movie enters one of,
I'm going to say three dozen montages,
in which the mother is put through all of the stages
of surgery, operations, recuperation,
everything, intercut with Katie doing gymnastics.
And that, the idea that the mother is in surgery, inspiration, everything intercut with Katie doing gymnastics.
And that, the idea that the mother is in surgery and she is just like doing this.
This is wild.
Is there no music on this?
Yeah, we can. Too loud for my taste.
Don't like that shot.
I did not like that shot.
I'm in tickets.
This is great.
Yeah, you can't take your eyes off this movie.
But what I love about it is that, hey, this girl shot her mom at her birthday party.
The mom was, this seemingly is rushed right to the hospital.
And then the girl was like, well, I do have gymnastics practice.
Well, you take her to gymnastics.
We just need to be at the hospital where her mom is getting spinal surgery. Yeah, you take her to gymnastics. We just need to be at the hospital,
where our mom is getting spinal surgery from.
Yeah, because she's getting stronger.
And the daughter seems disappointed
that the mother survived the gunshot.
She seems bummed.
Yeah, because, I mean, but that's weird
because then she's killing the vessel
that's creating her brother.
Yeah, that's true.
But I think she has like some mess that up
or you know, keep things a little interesting.
We have to talk about Glen Ford, the cop who really snitched out the weird stuff about this
family.
By the way, are cops allowed to just come into your house when you're not there?
Snoop around.
And instantly find the thing they're looking for.
Oh, there it is.
Bird.
I...
Now, who did put the gun in the gift?
I'm assuming Katie.
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie...
So Katie... So Katie... So Katie... So Katie... So Katie... So Katie... John Houston How many people John Houston put the gun in the thing
How many people what what what what what hold on what's the motivation?
Hold on right here
Wait, is this Rebecca?
Okay
Rebecca we know some locals you were the hero of last show. I want to caution you, don't get cocky.
All right, I'm going down to the top.
Are you sure you got it?
Here we go.
Here we go.
Okay, so he put the gun in the box
because he wanted to stop the spawn of Zatine
to keep continuing.
At the end of the movie, he says,
like, you can't kill children,
you can only kill the evil in them, and he laughs.
But he's okay with killing a woman,
because this is an anti-choice allegory.
So you think he was intent on killing the mother? Interesting.
So you think he was intent on killing the mother?
OK.
Then why not just kill the mother?
It is at Lanna.
So that was, I mean, it is at Lanna.
But why not just like kill the mother?
Why give the daughter a gun and hope she kills the mother. Why not just like listen,
he's going to get in a spaceship and go away anyway. Why not just come in and be like,
and then see it. Does anyone else have like a cogent argument like Rebecca had?
Oh these are you allowed if you're a child to tell a cop to go fuck yourself?
I think anybody can tell a cop to go fuck yourself. I think anybody can tell a cop to go fuck themselves. I think that is called a free speech. Alright, so what is your anti-argument to what
who put the gun in the box? I think it's the board that was trying to get
him pregnant because the mom says I don't want to have children and then they shoot her to paralyze her because then
Landskits to move in and she's like yay, we're a family and then she now gets pregnant and they're all together
You know the board of the board of directors is furious that actually that actually is a good point because one of the saddest moments in the movie for me
was when he brings her to that dinner and Lance brings her to the dinner and then announces
that they're gonna get married.
No, he proposes to her.
Oh, he proposes to her.
He doesn't even propose.
He just says I intend to marry her.
Right.
So then he leaves, they go out to that little deck area
in the hotel.
And he basically says, you got to marry me.
You're not going anywhere.
Yeah.
It does.
He says, you can't even walk.
Yeah.
And he kind of like picks up her wheelchair,
like kind of shoves her.
And then it's like this overhead shot.
And you're like, she's trapped.
And I was like, I felt, I was like, ooh.
Can we, just for a second,
I'm not sure where this is in the movie,
but we have to discuss the ice skating.
Yes.
Oh my God, forgot all about it Rob.
Yes.
So John Houston is walking down the world's tallest
escalator, which is turned off.
By the way, that is the escalator that takes you into the CNN tour, but it only goes up,
it doesn't go down.
So they had to shut it off so they could walk down it.
And while he's walking down the world's tallest escalator, she is having an ice skating
fight with some local.
It's not a fight.
I mean, she's attacking.
She's attacking.
I think the boys are making a little bit of a plan too.
I think she's being attacked by, first also,
I think they are Italian stunt skaters.
If you just, if you look at them, they don't like it.
They don't, because the filmmaker, the director is Italian.
And I think it's an Italian crew. Now you said that backstage, you don't look like it. They don't, because the filmmaker, the director is Italian. And I think it's an Italian crew.
Now you said that backstage, you don't care for Italians.
It was shot in Italy.
I mean, Lance Hendrickson said that one of the reasons
why I took this movie was to be in Italy.
Although one of the craziest things was John Houston
was not excited to be in this movie.
And then he saw
the movie at the premiere and got really excited about it and he's like, who I didn't
realize you were making this kind of movie.
And then on his deathbed, he called this director to be like, let's talk just about like,
we made that movie.
And like this movie was on his shelf in his bedroom.
This man who has a storied career,
this movie was in his bedroom at the time of death.
Do you think, when Robert De Niro is on his death bed,
he will call me to talk about dirty grandpa. Let's take a look at some of this ice skating fight scene.
Too loud.
Well, she's also, she's going in the opposite direction, which I know, because I've been
working on my roller skating.
Don't worry about it.
That pisses people off. I know, because I've been working on my roller skating. Don't worry about it.
That pisses people off.
So she's pissing people off intentionally.
They're mad at her.
And everyone goes ice skating in the middle of summer.
That's a big fun thing to do in Atlanta. I will say she's fantastic.
She's so good.
And then why is this scene in the movie?
Like, what?
I love this scene, but why is it in this movie?
I will say, you could argue that for almost every scene in this movie.
Almost every scene is in some way both integral and absolutely meaningless.
Like this movie is ephemeral.
This is a tone poem.
It truly is.
I mean, for a long time, we watch a bird trying to open up a door.
And Jurassic Park ripped that shit off, man, with those raptors.
But look at this shot.
This is a great shot, and they both hit like symmetrically on the sides of these bars.
Yeah, look at this.
And then she-
Poor John Houston with these stairs.
Spinning them around and then fucking hurls a guy into an Applebee's.
It's funny, when she hurls that guy into the Apple bees there's no background it's like it looks like a like a black void like that Apple bees is just in the
middle of like I don't know watch oh these kids fly through a restaurant window
just destroying them so I want to point out this see this sign it looks like
a highway sign in the back,
but they're in a mall, it says like,
it says like call 1-800-something.
It says like call 1-800.
Like, is that like, is this happening on a highway?
Did she throw them that far away?
It was in the mall.
Because we saw where they just were
in a brightly lit mall.
That is pitch black darkness.
Anyway, June, I imagine one of the scariest moments
for you was seeing that bird attack,
a Glen Ford in the car.
That was very upsetting to watch.
I mean, I, Paul knows this, I don't care for birds. I appreciate all animals
who respect them. When we walk around New York City, you are felt like you're under attack.
Yes, they fly way too close to me a lot of the time. Do you eat birds as revenge?
No, I don't eat birds. I don't eat have a bird. The idea of a bird in a car,
it just kicks up some like real claustrophobia for me.
I thought that scene was terrifying and so effective.
That is the most frightening thing
you could ever do be trapped in a car with a bird.
Who, I mean, I don't know if those birds
had the switchplates in them,
but that one, when they did that, a couple of those plunk, I mean, I don't know if those birds had to switch blades in them. But that one, when they did a couple of those,
plank, flunk, like, in the eyeball.
Yeah.
Is it hard to defend yourself from a bird?
The answer is he drove pretty well.
So I know exactly what I would have done, which is.
Roll your car.
No.
Well, yes, stop the car.
First of all, car. No. Well, yes stop the car break break
but even
He drives for like two miles with that bird in the car
But even if I'm the mom I would and was being attacked by birds
I would immediately find a blanket and I the throat over the bird that was attacking me or throw it over myself
And run out So that's the plan.
It's a good plan. It's good that you have thought of that
before it happens because it will happen. Well, no, there was a bird in our home
and I had to deal with it. But how did you deal with it?
She pulled her home over to the side of the road.
I... Well, I called my sister.
I know the bird expert.
I asked her to come over.
I also posted on Instagram and asked for people's feedback on what to do.
People's feedback.
Was this a bird or a mouse?
Yes, it was a bird.
A bird.
What kind of house would a bird? Yes, it was a bird. It was a bird. A bird. I was alone in the house with a bird.
Well, by the way, the most terrifying part of this was I had a baby monitor.
We had the camera set up in the living room for some reason.
And so I had the monitor in my bedroom and I saw the bird hopping across the floor.
I first heard it and then I saw it hopping across the floor.
Wow. And so I closed the door.
Can I ask is this day or night? This is my time. Thank you. No, it was nighttime.
I thought I came home from work and you told me the whole story. You thought the bird came
home from work? No, I came home from work. I was watching the whole story. Should we leave? We should leave.
We should all be dead.
No, it was nighttime. You did come home, but the kids were already asleep. It was nighttime.
So anyway, what people told me was to put a brown paper bag over my head and cut out. And cut out two icons.
What are you?
People are fucking with you.
What?
What?
People were so kind and responded immediately and said, cut two little eye holes.
And like, tiny little holes that you can breathe.
Cover the bag. Please tell me can breathe. Cover the bag.
Please tell me this picture.
Cover the bag in bird seed.
And grab a giant blanket and go out there and wear long pants and try,
if you can get gloves on, great.
And go out there with a blanket and the row the blanket over the bird
and try to drag the bird outside.
So I was ready to do it.
But thankfully my sister came over and she, and I also, then I tweeted that my, or Instagram,
that my sister was on her way and everybody wrote back to tell her to keep her hair up.
Sure.
So and I think that's something we saw in the movie.
If you have long hair.
You're fucked.
You can get caught.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's going to get caught up in the birds.
So she came in with her hair up in a bun and holding a magazine, like a Harper's Bissar,
that she had rolled up.
Oh, great magazine.
So she comes in ready to kill the bird.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Thank God the bird had already found its way out.
And you think that the bird is cool in a situation
like this.
Her sister is, well, I would say like picture June's reaction
to this.
And your sister's reaction is way less cool than your reaction.
Oh, then she's not the person to call.
Yeah.
Listen, she was the only person I knew who would definitely come over to do something about
it.
The person that Instagrammed the advice about putting the bag over your head is going to
hear this and be like, what?
What she did.
No.
Multiple people told me to put a brown paper bag over my head.
Listen, people probably get out of her.
And the whole time.
But it's not because there's a bird in my house.
Did they think you were auditioning for the gong show?
Is that what?
I thought it was great advice.
So if the bird were to get upset or start old
and start to attack me, I had a layer of protection.
Oh, yeah, because that brown paper bag is going to really protect everything.
Can I go back for just a second to where the bird is attacking the guy in the car?
Yeah, because there is a stunt in that sequence that is incredible.
The motorcycle guy. Yeah, I've never seen a stunt that, and I feel sure that that person was killed.
It gets.
Agreed?
I wrote the same thing.
I just want someone die.
Yeah.
How do you survive that?
And then I think for the reverse shot,
they just threw his body out of a van.
Yeah.
No, that was upsetting to watch.
In Italy, you can get away with full frontal hits on your stuntmen.
Oh, people, I think that hit was devastating.
Yeah, I don't know that that guy is laughing at that.
I love what the mother says to Shelley Winters.
What do you think of my daughter?
And Shelley Winters says, she's bad.
And then the mother's like, really? Yeah.
You just said you regretted her.
The mother's first line, Stellant's Hendrix, and in the movie, we're basically like,
I'm pretty sure my daughter is evil.
By the way, what was going on on the roof?
Yeah, flat roof.
Great question.
Great question.
Great question.
Some sort of Christesto level exhibit.
Is that like he's just doing art installations in addition to his other work?
It seemed like he was building a landing pad for a spaceship.
Yeah, but they never are near that building.
There's also a very brief cameo of Matt Penfield from MTV.
Deep cut. Never mind if you don't get it.
But no, there's that guy here.
There's that guy walking here.
When that guy walks into the door frame, I laughed so hard.
Yeah. Because he's like, he's the ball.
Like, there are ball children, and that's acceptable.
But when you see all these ball guys, like in white,
it just was making me laugh.
By the way, why does John use to get to keep us here and wear khakis and I don't think that those
I don't think that those kids were wearing like bald caps because you can always tell you like
don't think they shave those kids heads
everyone of those kids heads were shaved yes completely
oh man oh that is so young that you don't
they don't understand why.
No, they don't understand, they just like,
my mom got me in a movie.
Yeah, I'm going to shame, like those kids' heads
just got shaved.
By the way, why does Katie have a very thick southern accent?
I mean, she's from Atlanta.
She's from, because Satan is from the south.
She is
weight trashed. I said she's like
honey boo boo like with a Satan's
daughter. When I thought the scene
where their car breaks down and the
truck pulls up and the people come
out was cool. I thought there were
visuals in this that were great.
I thought it was a spaceship first, because she's like, are you scared, Mama?
And the things come out.
You don't know what it is.
It's like this orb and you're like, oh, that's a truck with some extra lights.
And then it's an impregnation truck.
Do they have those?
I think that they have them definitely in Atlanta.
All right, let's see what the crowd has to say.
Oh, boy.
Did anyone notice there's a part where she's going to school
and she comes out of her house and she runs in front of that fucking school bus?
Yes!
So scary! That was so scary!
And that was real!
Yes, that was real! And you had that little girl run in front of a school bus.
It's like, yeah, I was like, that's the fuck.
You're going to kill this girl.
That was crazy.
I'm here with this other, I'm here with a woman who
is wearing this awesome switchblade bird homemade
test.
It's awesome.
Ma'am, your? It's awesome.
Ma'am, your name and your question.
My name is Jade, and this is a general Seattle question.
We heard the lack of enthusiasm for orgasms in South Carolina.
Does Seattle think that orgasms are as important as flowers?
It's a good question, and our recently released episode, there's a debate.
So wait, so sorry, just to be clear, you're saying Seattle is pro-organism?
Fair enough.
Oh my God.
Oh boy.
The mezzanine is out of control. Yeah, Paul, please. The mezzanine is out of control.
Yeah, Paul, please.
The mezzanine here, Paul.
Look at these maniacs.
Look at these wild.
The mezzanine is acting like the balcony.
They really are.
The mezzanine, the original balcony.
Is this where that Pearl Jam video was filmed when he climbs up on the thing
All right, here we go. You're doing your question
I love you all my question is how can she still drive a car?
I was thinking the same thing
This is like a family feud audience. Yes, they're good answer. She goes to the hospital has an abortion drives herself home
What
Well, but there are vehicles that are paralyzed.
People can drive.
Yeah, they can drive cars.
She can drive a car.
What?
She has use of her art.
But she doesn't have a...
Wait, what's going on?
She's driving a regular car without the...
So it's not like a wheelchair, it's not...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Accessile.
Fine.
I guess I'm the asshole. Hey, what who who kills like the board of the
Seattle is saying paralyzed people should drive
Cool Seattle. Okay got it
Who kills the board of directors at the end like when they're at went do we know no idea?
No idea. I'm clear. No idea. Katie.
You have a good one.
You have a good one.
It's like people know.
It's alright.
You have a good one.
There is like, people.
Alright.
Alright.
This is a lot of energy up here.
Can you please be careful?
Everybody take a deep breath.
Alright, sir.
You came all the way down from the top.
Your name, your question.
My name is Jacob. Did you guys see?
Did you say my name?
Jake Paul lock away Paul you should walk away
Walk away
Paul you're gonna get up you're gonna get up
Here's the thing to see out if you want to ask a question you got to use verbs
We need those verbs, people.
My name is Jacob.
I watch movie.
Guys, all I'm going to tell you is that my exit is blocked
from the mess right now.
Paul, do we need to send somebody to look at their lining
up to block the exit? Paul, get out. Paul, Paul, do we need to send somebody to look at their lining up to block the exit?
Okay, get it.
Paul, get out.
Paul, jump, jump, jump.
Right now.
Right now.
Use the wheelchair elevator down the stairs.
It's really fast.
Climb down like any better.
All right, your question.
All right, run.
Did you guys see the mom was riding on a skateboard
when she got dragged to the living room?
Yes, when the girl is dragging the mom by the hair,
the mom is on like a skateboarder,
like something with wheels to a lot for them to move through that.
By the way, we haven't talked about that sequence
when the girl goes, can I have a kiss mommy?
Then spins around and she's like got lights on her face.
Yes.
It's a bigger like stunt woman that like jumps on.
Oh, it was so scary.
It was drags her and the drags her feet first up the stairs.
That was wild.
That was wild.
I'm so sorry, mommy.
I would never hurt you.
And then gets her the top of the stairs, kicks her down the stairs in the face.
This is where my parents, kicks her down the stairs in the face.
This is where my centric's own down.
This is a fishing wire to her fucking neck.
That platyndrics thing has teamed up with a daughter
to kill the mother.
It's a crazy situation that I didn't find unerotic.
Sir, I believe in you.
Your name, your question.
Sean.
Okay, sir.
I'll work.
We'll take it.
You didn't?
All right.
So this is a super rich mansion, right?
And two scenes.
There's a seven up, like, chandelier.
Yes, it came in there.
And I'm like, what the fuck is happening here? The beverage of kings.
Or the beverage of the devil.
Also, why Jesus kind of looks like Kurt Cobain?
Oh, yeah, he thinks.
So is that...
Katie wears the 12 shirts.
So we got the Seahawks here.
She wears a 12 a couple times.
You should have stopped at the 7th.
Sean, too many.
Is there something special about the one bird at the end,
where I mean, besides the fact that he has a switchblade beak?
I thought that bird was going to turn into John Houston,
or something like that.
The one bird that's a fake bird that has a switch.
I thought that was going to be like the personification of good,
or not the personification, good or they're not the personification
but like the bird that could transform is the way that the bad bird the Satan was in the other
the hawk.
Let me break it down for you.
There's a good guy and a bad guy.
They both use birds.
They both want, well, they both want the kid because John Houston brings her back to his
ball-dited community they don't both want the kid well Satin wants the kid so
he can live I mean yeah they you know they want they want the kid wouldn't you
say they both want the mother not really because the mother? Not really because the mother is the mother produced.
I believe, well, I think that John Houston knows he needs to take...
We think throughout the movie that John Houston wants to kill Katie Collins.
And instead, what he wants to do is kill within her the portion that is the devil,
the horcrux that lives within her, right?
And he also doesn't want to kill the child.
And he doesn't have to.
What we find out in the final scene is all of these kids that block Jesus,
have at various times throughout history been the progeny of Satan.
And John Houston has successfully gone out, various times throughout history, been the progeny of Satan.
And John Houston has successfully gone out,
exorcised the demonic part of them,
and brought them here to live in God's kingdom.
I'm assuming with his son, Jesus Christ.
So if you're a child, if people out there have children,
and your child is being bad, shave their head.
Right?
I mean, not exactly.
But I would say his head.
I'm going to.
Have someone else shave their head.
Yeah.
Obviously, we had to opinion about this movie,

This is from Jason Piggle, and he writes, a lates docu-drama about cocaine psychosis.
Take that Rebecca.
And the title of the review is if this movie went to the hospital, it would be held against its will for 72 hours. Five stars. This one is written by Channel 83.
If you're currently on medical marijuana
or live in a place where it is legal,
then this is the picture for you.
You need to interact with it both

The little girl whose real name escapes me,
well, too bad you're not at a computer,
is a better actor than the other one that portrayed Damian as an adolescent.
She sweet what moment and a little terror the next.
I spent half the movie wanting to smack her into the next life.
Five stars.
Wow.
Snack or something?
Snack or something?
Snack or something?
Snack or something?
Snack or something? Snack or something? Snack or something? Snack or something? Snack or something? That's not cool. That's not cool. Means you smack her to death and she is then re-incarnated.
Like Satin.
L and R writes, a must see for crazy people and non-crazy people like by stars.
So that's everybody.
And two more.
This one is written just by an Amazon customer, generic one.
Very creeper to start about a man who only knows where he's from is sent to earth to a
pervert child, a 10-year-old girl who has powers that people from another world or time
want.
It's a fight of who will win, and who is really good or evil.
Five stars.
Why is she a pervert child?
She didn't do a thing.
All she wants to do, right?
Is kill her mother.
So all she wants to do, leave her alone.
And gymnastics.
And, yes, and gymnastics. Yeah, I mean, is she very skilled at gymnastics that coach is?
She's okay. She's a better ice scur.
Her coach says that she is near perfection, doesn't she?
Her coach is like that thing you did was almost perfect.
Almost.
That's what drives gymnast crazy.
That just trying to get that perfect. Almost. That's what drives gymnast crazy,
that just trying to get that perfect.
This, I thought early on, I thought this was the Mary Lou
retten biopic.
Do you think it's really her doing the gymnastics,
that actress?
Like, do you think that like, it might be,
because there were a couple shots.
There were a couple shots I thought it was her.
Where, you see her face.
There might be little, yeah, there might be
some of the easier stuff.
Well, I'm glad that you both asked this because this next review kind of pays a little bit
of an homage and gives us a little bit of an answer about Page O'Connor.
Yeah, this is written by Fred Durie.
If you're a fan of possessed kid horror flicks like the Omen, the Brudin, of course, the
exorcist, then you will love this movie.
The otherwise cut, blonde-haired
All-American Girl Actress Page Conner, who wound up being a pro football team
cheerleader, is one of the best, and it's her own voice the whole way through.
Just watch the scene where she tells legendary actor Glenn Ford to get the
bleep out of here and try to throw a performance into the
camp in like everyone else's tossed this movie but this gets so fantastic the
entire movie follows her lead and what is it? Well it's quite good great even
hell George Lucas is at the biggest budget in history and look what he got in
Phantom Menace this movie does the best it can with a little money it had, including a small handful of once great actors.
But once again, Page O Conner, this one's for you kid, you nailed it. You creeped me out, you freaked me out, you scared me, entertain me, five stars, page of honor, child actress, deserves some credit.
Okay, I agree with everything that was written
in that review, every word of it.
I agree with my reason.
I thought she was by far the best part of this whole move.
Okay, she reminded me of, oh, I don't know if everyone's seen it.
People watch Barry.
There's one episode of Barry where I was like, yep, yep.
Bill Hader.
She reminds of Bill Hader.
Wait, are you saying that she became an NFL cheerleader?
Are you also saying that that takes gymnastics ability?
I think there's some gymnastics ability.
How did she get to...
So I'm sorry.
When she grows up and becomes a cheerleader,
is she still Satan's progeny?
Ooh, good question.
I mean, I think the evil was sort of sucked out of her,
but from that last shot and that last smile on her face,
it seems like not all of it.
Well, it's very hard.
And do you think that's why she goes to work for the NFL?
It's very hard for.
Interesting.
The tagline of this movie, they know we're here.
The budget.
Who's the visitor?
Who's me?
I don't know.
Who's me?
This is a mess of pronouns.
They know we're here.
I think my name is...
In Jacob.
I think it's... My name is Jacob. They know we're here. I think the tagline is from the point of view of
the young girl. They know we're here. The young girl is not the visitor though. The visitor is
John Houston. Yes. Cool. They know we're here. So John Houston is like, they know where he is. Okay, let me ask you this.
Who's the protagonist of this movie?
The mom.
John Houston.
Interesting.
I would say switchblade bird.
Switchblade bird is.
Oh, wait.
How do you train so many pigeons to attack an actor at the end?
Like, those pigeons, are you just throwing them on the air? You cover an actor at the bird scene Like, those pigeons, you don't, you cover it out.
Are you just throwing them on there?
You cover an actor at the bird's-
And peanut butter, that's fucking pigeon-
Yeah, like pigeon, they're all pigeons.
Oh, disgusting.
The worst.
Just a couple of facts about the movie
that I think are interesting.
Sam Peckin-Paz, all of his dialogue is ADRed
because he couldn't remember any of his lines.
I think that's the scene where none of the dialogue matches their mouth movements.
By the way, when I say ADR, I mean, he was dubbed by another actor completely.
If you watch that scene, the sink is all crazy. So some other actor came in and said, talk your mom in to get you an ice cream.
Now, four ice creams.
Yeah, that was written down for someone.
Then, okay, well then, there's a couple other things.
Cream App Dual Jibar was one of the basketball players in the movie.
Oh, wow.
That is interesting.
And then we talked about this briefly, but Paige Conner said
that Shelley Winters even smacked her during the rehearsal for the scene.
Uh-oh.
That's how you get a performance.
I think we all agree that we would recommend this movie.
I don't even know if it goes around.
Yes, yeah.
I think this is one of the few movies we've
watched that I'm going to return to.
I will show people this movie because, well,
maybe I'm curious because I don't think we all were talking about.
None of us had heard of this movie, right?
No.
Had you guys heard of this movie?
No.
No.
The Alamo Drafthouse re-released it so you can get this pretty easily.
So it felt like a true discovery.
Yeah.
It was neat to be like, whoa, this is wild.
Absolutely.
Really fun, fun movie.
I'd love to see this in a theater.
Absolutely. I'm going to actually talk to the Alamo Draft House to see if we can do a screening
of this in LA because I think it'll be really fun.
You guys should come.
It's only a quick plane flight.
Except for Jacob.
Thank you, Seattle!
You guys were fantastic guys.
We did it see it.
Thank you, balcony.
Thank you, man.
Thank you, Mr. Parker.
Thank you, everybody.
Great job.
