Hi, guys.
Welcome to a very special, sensual episode of Plumbing the Death Star,
where we ask the important questions like,
ooh, which of the 80s horror movie villains would make the best boyfriend?
And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'd never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now.
Oh, no.
No way.
And I would do anything for love.
Oh, I would do anything for love i would do anything for love but i won't do i'm a little wet yeah i know all right so we did it with
doing it with these 80s villains with 80s villains we're moving through time
we got a list of them here
we got Freddy
from the
Nightmare on Elm Street series
I struggled with that
is it this one?
Jason from the
Friday the 13th series
except the first one because he's not in that one
that's his mama, spoilers
Chucky from Chucky from Child's Play 13th series except the first one because he's not in that one that's his mama spoilers his mama
Chucky from
Chucky
no Chucky from
Child's Play
nice try though
Michael Myers from
Halloween and
The Thing from
The Thing
those are our
80s movie monsters
let's see
so we'll do the same
scale that we did
with Hammer Movie Monsters
where we'll give them
a score out of 10
we'll go through them
each individually,
talk about their pros, talk about their cons.
Yeah, exactly.
So we'll go through the list in the same way that we just read it out, I guess.
All right, so Freddy...
What's his last name?
Kruger.
Freddy Kruger.
That's the one.
Mr. Kruger.
Mr. Kruger.
Con, troubled past.
Con, potential pedophile
Yeah
Pro, good with his fingers
Con, bad with his fingers
Well I mean good with his fingers
But good with his blade fingers
Pro, probably good at the garden
Yeah look, handy
He has all the pros of Edward Scissorhands
And none of the cons of Edward Scissorhands And none of the cons of Edward Scissorhands
Being a child
And not having actual hands
They're just gloves that Jason Freddie can take off
And that's okay
Cons lives in a boiler room
Of a high school
Cons
Is ethereal
He's a ghost
Can only visit me
In my dreams.
Con, nobody's going to know I'm dating him.
People are going to be like, where is he?
And I'll be like, I see him in my dreams.
Oh no, I'm going to be that person.
He's an imaginary boyfriend.
That sucks.
You're like, no, no, no, I'll show you.
And then you dream together and he kills your friend
by becoming like a snake or some shit.
Cons, all these puns. He's going to get regretting fucking Jason. you dream together and he kills your friend by becoming like a snake or some shit yeah uh cons
all his puns he's gonna get regretting fucking jason and also when you give him when you give
him little kisses his head is pretty much just an open wound i was gonna say con he is a burn victim
and that's more of a like that's something about zamit that zamit can't get past so i don't want
to make that a con but it is a personal con like a personal con that maybe i can't get past, so I don't want to make that a con, but it is an issue. Personal con.
Like a personal con, like maybe I can't date a burn victim.
Personal pro, he's a burn victim.
All about it.
That's my kink.
Yeah, I don't know.
Con, and I guess it's going to be a con for all of them,
but he's got a personal vendetta.
That's true.
Like he's going to be...
Not all of them.
If I want kids, I'm going to be like, he's killed kids.. Like, he's going to be... Not all of them. If I want kids,
I'm going to be like,
he's killed kids.
And also, like,
I'm just going to be like,
hey, what are you doing tonight?
And he's going to be like,
I'm going to go stab teens in their dreams.
And we're like,
I thought we were going to have dinner,
but that's fine.
Be my dream warrior.
Yeah, and aren't you kind of like,
darling?
Yeah, con, you're at risk of dream war.
That's true.
Can't be like,
hey, darling, look,
I know you've got a thing about,
you know, wanting a vendetta, but they're just kids. Leave them true. Can't be like, hey, darling, look, I know you've got a thing about, you know,
wanting a vendetta, but they're just kids.
Leave them alone.
You're like a 30-year-old man.
I don't think you can change.
Bury the hatchet.
Was he getting back at the kids or the kids' parents?
I think just the bloodline.
The Elm Street bloodline.
Whoever.
Whoever was... See, I'm kind of confused with this
because I've seen the original,
but I've also seen the remake,
and they're just blurring, and I can't remember...
I've seen the Treehouse of Horror episode,
and that's just taken so much precedent right now.
Because with Nightmare on Elm Street, the remake,
he's suspected...
The way he dies and the reason why he's got a vendetta
is because he's suspected to be kitty fiddler and the parents
like he no charges are pressed the parents taken into their own hands to can like to commit like
um not vengeance what's it called what's batman vigilante vigilante justice vigilante by committee
yep um so like they go to the boiler room and they torch it while he's still in there
and he burns alive And then he's like
Nah fuck these kids
But not fuck these kids
So was he a pedophile
Or just a real pedophile
The movie leaves it ambiguous
But it sort of leans towards
Yes probably
I don't remember
Does the original
See the original
That's why I can't remember
I know he gets set on fire
Because that's how he's got
Like those burns
I know he
He kills Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp tries to stay awake, but he fucks that up.
Yeah.
He can't have pets because he's going to be like,
hey, I bought this cat.
He's like, well, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
And I'm like, we just fucking hell.
This is a pet for me.
Mr. Kruger.
Just calm down.
Don't be mean.
He's going to make me cry a lot.
He is. He's a hurtful He is He's a hurtful man
He's a hurtful man
And he seems like he won't
Although
He'll apologise
But he's going to be hurtful
He is a pro
Like if he loves you
Which in this instance
Like anyone who dates me
Usually does
Us
Dates us
Dates us
All three of us
Individually
I don't know if he loves us anymore
Because he's playing us
Nah
We're into it
It's fine
He loves us All of us He's a child murderer in the first one well there you go
and then his parents killed him his parents killed the parents kill him yeah so the parents
craven originally wanted him to be a child molester but then he was like nah he just killed kids
which makes it i always find this debate this is a talk for another time like in
movies like when movies like nah molestation bad murder fine yeah i yeah both are bad yeah no both
neither are good both are probably a 10 out of 10 on the bad times so that's why I just don't understand. Anyway.
That's a... What was I saying?
Oh, yeah.
Potential pro.
Yeah.
If he loves us, which we're assuming he does.
Which he does.
You'd hope so.
What else is he going to do?
He's going to stop us from having bad dreams ever
because he'll just be in our dreams
and he'll be stopping all the bad shit.
That's true.
Hey, that's a good point.
That is a good point.
If he's like, look, I've got my kitty fiddling
and kitty murdering behind me.
I'm a changed man now that I'm dead.
Being burnt alive really taught me a lesson.
It kind of showed me the state of things.
It did.
It burnt out that bit of my brain.
The cleanse of flames.
Yeah.
And so now he's turned off a new leaf.
I feel like that'd be nice.
He could protect us from dreams. I think he still wouldn't try and kill on the side. Yeah. I don't think he's ever going a new leaf. I feel like that'd be nice. He could protect us from dreams.
I think he'd still want to try and kill on the side.
Yeah.
I don't think he's ever going to want to give that up.
It's going to be hard to stop him.
Yeah.
Plus, it's going to be hard to take.
You can't really, because he doesn't exist in a physical way.
Like, that's the biggest con.
That is the biggest con.
But then he does sometimes.
That is true.
Far be it.
And, although, if you are at the office and you have a bad day,
and, like, Cheryl, maybe you just nix your donut, or, like, Cheryl. And you stab her in the hand. and although if you are at the office and you have a bad day and like Cheryl
maybe you just
nicks your donut
or like
and you stab her in the hand
or like you know
doesn't like
change the coffee filter
something like that
and you're like
oh my god
Cheryl's the worst
and you just complain
as you used to
as a side comment
to be like
she's not the worst
but I was looking
forward to that donut
and then Freddie's
going to be like
I'll murder her in her sleep and you're like no no no and he's done it that's true he's impulsive exactly
and she took it like maybe she took a nap at the desk and now you got she wakes up and then he's
brought into the office exactly yeah yeah he's too impulsive he's too impulsive he's he's you
can't get like you can't have like a proper relationship with Freddy he's always got his own kind of plans and ideas
you can't really have discussions with him
no
I want to give him like a
look preaching us from bad dreams is kind of nice but I don't have
that many
it wouldn't just be
bad dreams because if we love him which we
do it would be very very
nice dreams all night because you just get to spend
like imagine every time you went to sleep
you'd wake up rested but you got to
spend all that time with
someone you love. I guess that's true.
That's pretty good. That is actually really
sweet. Yeah. I'm going to give him a 6.
4.
I'm going to give him a 4. I'm going to go with a 4
as well. I've slurred that. I'm going to give him a 4.
He can give a 4 for me.
So if I went 6, you guys both went four, so that's
a four point. Let's round it out to about five-ish.
Alright, so Freddy's like a nice
average five, which is interesting that we're giving
like an average to a kitty fiddler.
Not sure how happy I am about that, but
hey, kitty murderer.
The problem with...
It was manslaughter.
Hey, nothing was ever
charged. This, our version of Jason. It was manslaughter Look Hey Nothing was ever charged This
Our version of Jason
Freddie
Freddie
He's a lovely guy
Our version of Freddie
Look we'll go with the one
Maybe Kitty Fiddler
And let's go with the
Implied that he wasn't
Yeah
He was just
Maybe said a few
Inappropriate things
That were misconstrued
I will fuck your child
He was
He was talking about
I don't know what that was.
In a game of Monopoly.
It's poker.
It's not a poker.
And the parents burn him alive.
And the parents burn him alive.
So, yeah.
So, there.
So, look.
With that caveat...
Yeah.
I would maybe let...
Fine.
We'll slide it down to a 4.5,
so at least he's below average.
No, like a 5 is fine
with the caveat that he did not molest kids.
Exactly.
All right, here we go. Done. Perfect. Jason, though. Jason. Dr, like a five is fine with the caveat that he did not molest kids. Exactly. Alright, there we go.
Done.
Perfect.
Jason, though.
Jason.
Drowned in a lake.
Came back to life.
Mother issues.
Mummy issues.
He's going to love his mum
more than he loves us.
Always.
God, he's going to compare to it.
We're going to make cookies.
He's going to be like,
mum made better ones.
Well, then fucking marry your mother then.
Con also, like, he's like super immature emotionally huh he's always damp he's always a
bit wet pro went to space for a bit yeah hey traveled freddie when is freddie in space
isn't freddie v jason no jason x isn't he's in. Because that's like a team of astronauts are taking
frozen criminals
from the 21st century
somewhere. I thought Freddy went to space for some reason.
He should, but he hasn't.
Freddy X? Do astronauts
dream of Freddy Krueger?
The sequel to Duandroid's Dream of Electric
Sheep. Yes. Yes, they do.
Blade Runner 2 is going to be fucked.
Yeah, also
con, Jason's
face is a mess. Is it?
Yeah. What is Jason's shtick?
Jason kills people with a machete. Yeah,
bullied at Camp Crystal Lake.
Then they pushed him in a river.
So what happened
was he was being bullied at Camp Crystal
Lake and he fell into
the lake and he was drowning and the reason he drowned is because the counselors were banging
yeah that's right so he hates sex yeah i was gonna say con has weird sexual hang-ups
murder's anyone who has sex so you're gonna be like you're gonna be sitting watching a movie
maybe you put your hand on his leg.
He just stabs you.
He stabs you in the hand with a machete
and you're just like,
I'll go back to watching The Croods or whatever.
I'm going to be so like,
are we around?
I'm going to be unfulfilled.
I'm going to be unfulfilled.
Yeah.
Unfulfilled.
He's going to always be talking about his mom.
I'm going to be in a photo of Jason's face. Sick. It's like when a be talking about his mom. Whatever you want to name it. Jason's face.
It's like when a sloth loses all its wet and gross.
When a sloth loses all its fur is what I was going to say.
Weird sexual hang-ups and weird qualms about his mom.
And I just...
Are there any fucking pros?
Are there any pros there?
I don't think so.
Probably good at hockey.
Show it us. he kind of looks like
Jesus
he has a few different
you know Goonies
yeah yeah
he looks like
what's that guy's name
Chunk or some shit
yeah Chunk
although he does look
a little different
in different films
like some he looks
more like a zombie
that but more of like
if he fucked an orc
if you like got Chunk
and then just
twisted his face some
yeah don't like that that's another con keep the hockey mask on but whatever looks like if he fucked an orc. If you got chunk and then just twisted his face some. Yeah, I don't like that.
That's another con.
Keep the hockey mask on.
But whatever.
Looks like that sometimes.
It's also gross.
Show us.
It's just like he's got weird melty face,
which is weird because he drowned.
He didn't drown in a fire.
I don't think he's got any pros.
Surely he's got a thumb.
We can't have found zero already.
He's tall
dark
and mysterious
nah
he's still a zero to me
he's the quiet type
still a zero
hey look
yeah pro
thoughtful
thoughtful
you'd bring him to parties
he would not cheat on you
yeah
very faithful
oh yeah there you go
very faithful
pro Eurodite
I'm sure he
oh I know he doesn't talk that much does he he's gonna say like at parties he might be able to hold
interesting conversations but no he's a great listener it's a good listener won't cheat on you
guaranteed won't cheat on you happy to play some sports as long as it's hockey with machetes yeah
why does he wear a hockey mask does he love does he love hockey no he finds it to cover up his
gross face yeah there's no connection to the hockey.
I'd want to play hockey then. And he'd be like,
just because I wear the mask. I hate school camp.
That's alright, because school camp is kind of
bullshit sometimes.
When in your life is school camp
coming up though now?
Every time I'm like, well, actually,
me and Jason have something in common.
Did you also get drowned in a lake
and came back? No, but when I went to school camp when I was in year nine,
or form three if you're in the 70s.
Sure.
All right.
I broke my collarbone and that sucked.
What?
Did that happen to poor old JC? Was it because the counsellors were banging? What? That you and How does that even
Did that happen to poor old JC?
Was it because the counsellors were banging?
Nah but they
They didn't take me to the hospital straight away
They were like take off your shirt let's see
And they're like oh it's probably just dislocated
Fun fact about collarbones you can't really
Yeah I was gonna say
What does that mean your neck popped out?
It's a clearly broken bit of bone protruding.
Oh, you dislocated it.
Nah, because I've actually got like a...
There's like a weird bump in my collarbone where it broke.
Like, there's like a dint.
Oh, wow.
Because I did not let it heal, possibly.
Which is there for...
Too much head waggling.
Yeah.
I was too much trying to...
Well, they were going to try and make me sleep in a tent
the night that I broke it.
And I was like, nah, it really hurts.
And they're like, all right, we'll go to a hospital. Doctor to a hospital doctor looked at it was like oh we'll get an x-ray
looked at it's like it's definitely broken god damn and then he x-rayed the school no they paid
for my medical bills because that just seems negligence to be like they try to make me sleep
in a gardening tent you could have died and then you would have come back or your mom would have
first and then you would have come back later yeah that would have been good always believe kids when they break their bones stab
yeah exactly that's my mom's catchphrase like sorry what that was like very long and i didn't
know that's my mom's name kayleen there you go yeah it's a little bit of trivia for you um
so thoughtful snap good listener won't cheat zero. I think he's like a one. I'm going to give him a three.
For me.
Three for me.
No, I'm giving him a zero.
I understand the pain he's been through.
So let's call it one.
That's a combination.
It's in between three and like a 1.5.
Check it in the middle there.
I'll give him a one, but I'm not happy with it.
I still think he's a hot zero.
He's bad at swimming as well. See? I don't love the middle there. I'll give him a one, but I'm not happy with it. I still think he's a hot zero. He's bad at swimming as well.
See?
I'd love to go on to the beach.
He could never go to the beach with me.
Well, yeah, I guess.
He likes long walks in the woods, though.
Yeah, pro.
I guess that's nice.
You go hiking, but there's always going to be fucking hiking.
Pro or con about the hiking, he's going to be real quiet for all of it,
and you're going to get to the top and want to talk,
and he's going to just be like, and you're going to be like, Brunt's going to be real quiet for all of it and you're going to get to the top and want to talk and he's going to just be like
and you're going to be like
Brunt's going to be hassled with him as well. Yeah,
watching him eat's going to be gross.
He kind of looks like he would be kissing a
butthole. As much as I was like
burn victim for Freddy,
Jason has like deformed face and
that is something that, again,
personal con. I couldn't get
past that. Could get past burn victim, couldn't get past joel zammer that could get
past burn victim could not get past this personal pro still douches jam i just hot zero yeah i think
a one i think we've got a little saddle on a one all right mike myers mike myers Knows Jamie Lee Curtis Let's see here
Strong
He's a strong boy
Is Michael Myers magic at all?
He's the
He's the physical embodiment
Of pure evil
Oh
Is he though?
I thought he was just
Rough childhood
Yeah in the first Are we taking the Rob Zombie ones? Is he though? I thought he was just in a rough childhood Yeah
in the first
are we taking
the Rob Zombie ones
or the other ones?
The Rob Zombie remake
that we watched with Zoe
in due account
No I've only seen
the original of these ones
Okay
Because in the original
what happens is
he
on Halloween one night
he stabs someone
Yeah
Then he gets put
as a child
he stabs someone
and then he gets put in as a child he stabs someone and then he gets put in
with a counselor
psychiatrist, psychologist
whatever one of those that he is
and then he escapes again on Halloween
when he's like, I'm recounting this movie
slightly wrong and I apologize to any listeners
they're like, you're wrong!
you're probably used to it
then he escapes again and yeah the psychologist comes back
and he's like
you guys are in so much trouble
this kid is
fine
okay
one thing I did not like
about the original
is when he did kill
what's his name
Machete
yeah
he's like the security guy
he's like he was your bro
he was always looking out for you
you mean in the remake
yeah
he was like
I don't know
yeah
it was like why
Machete was your job
I think the remake tries to make
from what I've heard...
It tries to kind of ground it,
make it more realistic,
because he was just like a fucked psychopath kid.
Yeah.
Not even raised wrong.
He was just a sociopath.
It wasn't even really anyone's fault.
Like, it wasn't a great home life,
but it wasn't the worst.
Like, the stepdad was a bit of a dick,
but not the worst.
Yeah.
Wait, is that grounds for murder?
Because...
Probably.
Hey, I got a great idea.
He's strong.
Strong.
Pro, he does protect that girl in the remake.
That's true, his sister.
Yeah.
So, pro protector?
He is protective.
He's protective of family.
He would also probably
Have mummy issues
Because she did
Neck herself
Yeah that's true
That's a con
He tried to protect
The sister
But then
I'm pretty sure
In the sequel
He tries to kill her
Powerful
That's right
Very powerful
Again
Con though
Bad at communication
Yeah
Con based on the sister thing
Because you're
Thinking of the remake, in the original
the person he kills when he's six, dressed
as a clown with a kitchen knife
is his older sister.
Or he'll also kill his older sister in the remake
as well. His youngest
baby sister that he doesn't
kill. Pro good with kids.
There you go.
Con has complete disregard for family.
Yeah.
Look, because, yeah, communication is a key, and he just doesn't.
And that's why, like, you know, the younger daughter,
younger sister, she's, like, freaking out.
And he's just like, hey, it's me.
It's your brother.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm a little messed up, but I need to protect you.
If he'd just been clearer, she would have understood.
But, no, he's, like, murmuring to, like, photos and shit, to like photos and shit and she's just like freaking out you probably can't take him on
any dates no like you're just taking him out it's not gonna happen con you can't dress him formally
like i'm just trying to jet he's huge i feel like i'd have to feed him as well yeah like i feel he
i we he would sit down i'm there sitting on his lap with a spoon and baby food that's what i feel
that's what i feel is gonna happen that's rough i just don't know why i just don't think he's capable no i agree like
i don't think he's capable of even feeding himself he's of like making food i'm gonna become the cook
of a fucking he's a fixer-upper you know what i mean yeah like if you're gonna be with michael
myers you're gonna have to dedicate time to kind of like helping michael myers he's got a child
brain he does have like he's got very big developmental issues.
Exactly.
So you're going to have to like walk him through that
and just kind of like be there for him.
You know what I mean?
Like he's never going to help you
sort out your problems.
It's all going to be Michael Myers.
And he might mice and menace.
Yeah, he could have mice and menace.
He could just be like,
you're very pretty.
And then it's just like,
he's not going to know his own strength.
And this scenario,
I'm assuming he loves us
yeah
and like
we're not his sisters
so he can fuck us
and that's good
because we'll get some
of that primal rage out
that's going to be powerful
and good love making
that's going to be just
fucking
that's going to be great
but then he might
might go too far
or might be trying
to go for a hug
and then he gets strangled
it's just not going to be good
and also in the original film
the original film
he dies and then comes back to life so i guess he's undead
but it's not like an annoying undead like jason where you're like oh you're from hell what is this
or freddy where you're like you're a green monster now i guess yeah he's just like he just he just
isn't was dead now he's back yeah he's kind of unkillable because yeah in the original he gets pro unkillable unkillable you never have to worry if he's out late at night now he's back. He's kind of unkillable. Pro-unkillable.
You never have to worry if he's out late at night.
If he's out with a car crash, is he going to do something?
No, he'll be fine.
He also hates people having sex.
Does he?
God damn it, what is with all these 80s movie monsters?
Got some cardinals in there.
Also, I'm just going to need to address this
at some point, because I know someone will pull us up on it.
Halloween came out in 1978.
Whatever.
Michael Myers, off the list.
Zero, disqualified.
You think you can sneak into our list?
Get out of here.
Scat, scat.
You're too bloody old, mate.
Every time we're saying Mike Myers,
I just can't stop thinking of the Canadian comedian.
Well, let's replace that one,
who clearly we can't have,
with actual actor Michael Myers.
All right, so if Mike Myers,
the Hollywood villain,
the Halloween villain,
Mike Myers, the Halloween villain,
is disqualified,
he'd probably get like a three if he was.
Yeah, if he was in,
but he's disqualified.
Michael Myers Myers the actor
uh huh
seems lovely
Con seems like
he's
clinging
like so sad
nah I think he'd like
he's like
he did well
he sort of went out
on his peak
he's like look I'm done
and then
okay like maybe Love Guru
was his peak
yeah I was gonna say
he went out
just after his peak
if he'd stopped at the spot
he shagged me
yeah
oh he would've been Goldmember I'll spot he shagged me Yeah Goldmember
I'll give him a pass for Goldmember
Goldmember's classic
Fucking smoking a pancake
Some shit that's classic
There's two things I hate
People who are intolerant of other cultures
And the Dutch
Yeah
Classic line
Eat skin flakes
Oh
Oh beautiful
Love one
So that
Even in Glorious Bastards he was good at
Yeah but in Glorious Bastards
It was meant to be
his fucking
return to
Pulp Fiction
for John Travolta
but for Mike Myers
but it wasn't
it was such a cameo though
it was too much of a cameo
indeed
that was a reference
to the film
hi
yeah
anyway
yeah he was good in it
but again it was very short
it was a very cameo
he's got deadbeat friends Dana Carvey nah he's good he was good which it but again it was very short It was a very cameo He's got deadbeat friends, Dana Carvey
He's good
Which one's Dana Carvey?
Master of Disguise
Dana Carvey didn't do like a recent talk show type thing
Or like a Dana Carvey hour or some shit
So Dana Carvey, what happened was
Dana Carvey was actually the most successful of
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey
And then Dana Carvey made a TV show after he left Saturday Night Live.
That was a little, it was Dana Carvey's comedy and what people thought Dana Carvey's comedy were.
Yeah.
There's quite a big void between the two of them.
So they left Saturday Night Live.
He was like, I'm gonna make a TV show.
They're like, sweet.
Here is like this fucking primetime slot.
And I think the first episode opened with like
an abortion joke
or something
oh boy
and they were like
ha
kids
oopsie daisy
maybe not abortion
it was something
just like a super dark
not on
kind of like
well not even
I don't think it was like
not on
and I think it was
I just mean not on
for the network
or whatever
yeah
too ahead of his time
yeah
that's honestly that was his problem.
And then he just fucking shit the bed and made Master of Disguise,
which I had on DVD for like 10 years.
So also I think his accents, I like it,
but I think it would get great.
Yeah, yeah.
Like he'll do the accents like, cause he thinks you enjoy,
like, you know what I mean?
Like you'll be at breakfast and he'll be like donkey
and you'll be like yeah you're on track
you'll be like ah
okay it's only a donkey
god guess what
Dana Carvey's first film appearance
was Halloween 2
what the fuck
it's all fucking come full circle
it's a fucking web.
A tangled web.
Con, Mike Myers' body is like several lumps put together.
He is an old man.
Now he is, but let's go prime Mike Myers.
So let's take Wayne's world.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah, he's all right.
That's all right.
But if he was doing like Wayne to me,
I would just, that would ruin the bit.
Yeah, exactly.
If he was like fucking me,
and you were like, shooing,
I'm like, we're done.
We're done.
You've ruined the move.
And you know he would.
And yeah.
Like, you know that Mike Myers
is the kind of person that clings to that kind of like.
I'd hate it.
Yeah.
I'd be like, don't do that to me.
No, you've, I'm not.
We're done.
We're done.
We're done.
I would drop Mike Miles the moment he, oh yeah. I wouldn't drop him. I would be like, you're that to me nah you've we're done we're done I would drop Mike Miles
the moment
I wouldn't drop him
I would be like
you're on the couch
no I'm on the couch
reading a book
don't talk to me
for at least a day
man
rough
pro
make me laugh
make you laugh
he's a very funny man
plus pro money
true
he's a rich lad
probably
probably
pro Canadians and I have a soft spot for him yeah
um pro like seems to kind of know his place within the world a little bit like he's in he
made the love guru it was bad he didn't try again yeah he's like it's like hey fair enough so i
married an axe murderer solid film yeah pretty good like I would watch that with him and I'd be like, you're a handsome man.
You are so good in this.
Mike Myers, maybe.
He's doing good.
Mike Myers is doing pretty good.
But then I'd watch
Spy Who Shagged Me
and realize that he plays
Fat Bastard
and I would never be able
to look at him the same again.
That's a good point.
Like, Con,
he has some roles
that would ruin him for you.
Like, even though he's an actor,
you couldn't separate
yeah you would struggle and plus what if he reveals that he's a Daniel Day-Lewis type
he's like no I was I am fat boss yeah he's like oh they're doing I don't think he is Austin Powers
4 I'm just I'm gonna be method acting and he's like yeah I've got somebody to mold this chicken
into the shape of a baby I'm gonna eat it I it. I'm going to eat it. And you're like, I hate, what kind of life do I live?
Get in my belly.
And the love guru is like...
Get in my belly, yeah.
Very racist.
It was amazing that that film exists.
The love guru is kind of incredible
because you're like, how did this happen?
How did this even happen?
Yeah.
So, loses points of racism.
Yeah.
Con, I guess, isn't terribly socially aware.
I don't think he's still coming out.
I don't think either of us.
So, seven?
Yeah.
Six.
Six, I want to say.
Racism is a real big turn off for me.
That's one movie.
It's also just Austin Powers again.
Oh, yeah, true.
Like, so many of the characters
are just like,
fucking mini-me's in that shit.
Oh, yeah, true. Has it a weird obsession the characters are just like, fucking mini-me's in that shit. Oh yeah, true.
Has a weird obsession with midgets.
Yeah.
5.5.
What can we say with that?
I'm quite tall.
He's not going to like me that much.
Damn it.
I don't think he likes little people more.
I just think he enjoys them.
Yeah.
Culturally insensitive.
Yeah, like, I guess does he find them funny?
I think so, yeah.
Five.
He's getting worse. He's on par with Freddy Five. Five. He's getting worse.
He's on par with Freddy Krueger.
He's on par with a kiddie.
Michael Myers is on par with Freddy Krueger.
So Mike Myers...
With a suspected but not confirmed kiddie.
Alright, the thing.
Oh wait, Dana Carvey.
Nah, what do you mean?
You can't rate Mike Myers and not give Dana Carvey a score. Why a seven then? Yeah, wait. Dana Carvey. No. What do you mean? You can't rate Mike Myers
and not give Dana Carvey a score.
Why are you seven, then?
Yeah, good.
Was ahead of his time.
Made Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell famous.
And blonde.
That's pretty good.
Blonde bombshell, Dana Carvey.
He's funnier than Mike Myers.
Probably. Most people are.
He made marks with
disguise so you'd just be like,
why? You could always be one up
on him. You'd be like, any argument.
At least I didn't make marks with disguise.
You're a bad boyfriend.
Seven. Giving him a seven.
We get like a one after.
Alright, the thing then.
No, you missed forgetting one.
Chucky.
Made of wood. A doll doll a serial killer's soul
trapped in a doll
too small
mom this is my boyfriend
what does he do he's a serial killer's soul
trapped in a doll
oh yeah
does play funny pranks though
a troublemaker
granted his idea of pranks is to switch blanks for real bullets in like a war
game so con has a girl already yeah a bride right you will well no he's a kid
gets made so I may be like if we muscle in yeah if we mustling in after Bride of Chucky Con single dad Oh yeah
Or double dad
Double dad
Dad times multiplier
Multi dad
I was like oh wait
He's not a single dad because he has the bride
And they're raising the kid together
And in my mind I was like yeah double dad
Well you're coming into a family situation.
Yeah, so there's like a whole situation you're not part of
that you're jumping into with Chucky.
Yeah, I'm guessing you're in his weird three-way with two dolls.
Two dolls full of serial killer souls.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
But they both, I guess, if we're getting Chucky,
we're getting brother Chucky, and I guess they both love her?
Yes.
This is the classic ice climber situation.
You get dad, mom, and mom.
No, dad, boyfriend, boyfriend, and boyfriend, girlfriend.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
And that's okay.
Whatever.
We'll just have like a polyamorous relationship with the Chuckies.
With wood.
Yeah.
With dolls.
With wood.
I feel like con, we're going to be laughed at a lot.
Con, dick splinters
oh yeah true
pro, like you know he's good with kids
because he has a kid
like that's
pro, maybe con is that
we're going to be an immediate father
like you know what I mean, we're going to be a ready made family
which can be fine, I'm just saying it's something to consider
yeah that's something to take into account. You're not wrong.
Con looks like a child
even though is an adult soul.
Yeah, dresses in overalls.
Yeah. Con, no genitals
as far as I'm aware. No, they do because there's a
sex scene in Bratachaki. Oh, okay.
With like wean in
peen? Wean in peen.
It's tastefully done. It's not, but it's
tastefully done. Just think about the sex scene from Team America.
It's like that.
Rubbing wood together, but not in a dick way.
It was kind of funny,
because it's always been like it's a comedy horror.
Nah, Ryan Murphy invented comedy horror with Scream Queens.
Yeah, get on your Ryan Murphy.
No, no, he said that so many times.
Really?
I've invented a new genre.
Horror. Comedy comedy Coming together
Is he an idiot?
Maybe, honestly
Did he actually say that?
Yeah, he said it multiple times
Is he an idiot?
This was a while ago, before Scream Queens came out
Did he just forget the 80s?
Every single one that we've listed here
has been a comedy horror.
You could argue a comedy horror.
Horror mostly is elements of comedy.
Anyone who maybe has it...
Oh no, I was going to say Michael Myers, but I married
an axe murderer.
Because Freddy vs. Jason
is comedy horror.
Child's Play isn't,
but the others probably are.
Everything else is, yeah.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Michael Murphy, Ryan Murphy, if you're listening, sorry.
Sorry that you're an idiot.
Starts off pretty serious, but then becomes more ridiculous,
and you can never get him back to, like, having a serious conversation with Chucky.
Like, when you meet him, you're like, wow, this is a real serious dude.
And then you're like, it's just a lot of goofiness.
Speaking of goofiness, though,
I've got a good pro.
You know when you travel, it's kind of expensive to travel
and everyone's always like, put me in your luggage.
You can put him in your luggage.
That's true. You're like, Chucky, just lay still.
Everyone will think I'm just a weirdo taking a doll
with me to gay Paris.
Pro, if he's like
Giving you a bit of lip
Or a bit of trouble
Pick him up
Pull him to the top shelf
Yeah exactly
No he's just a doll
He's not a ventriloquist doll
Because I can like
Put your hand in his ass
Yeah
You probably could anyway
But
Con
Like
He's easily breakable
Like he's got like
That weird face
Like you could just
Someone could take him apart
A pro
Someone could take him apart. A pro?
Someone could take him apart. That's true.
Again, if he's Hassan,
he'd just take off his legs.
Easily neutralised.
Take his legs
and put him on the top shelf.
Con,
like,
he's...
Oh, wait.
Doesn't Chucky also have the thing
where he likes kids
but wants to murder adults?
Oh, yeah.
We're adults.
No, but he loves this scenario.
Yeah. Con, he'll murder all our friends. That's true. We're adults. No, but he loves this scenario. Yeah.
Can't, he'll murder all our friends.
That's true.
Good.
That's a pro.
That's you fucking guys.
No, no, no.
Because we're all dating him.
Just everyone else.
The three of us together?
I'd finally be free.
I'm free.
I'm free.
Chucky saved you.
My friends are trash.
Not editing that out.
No, don't.
Leave it.
Let them know.
No, they should know.
So what are we giving old Chuck stuff?
Well, if he kills my friends, an eight.
If he doesn't, a four.
I was like, at the moment, there's not many.
I think like a six.
Yeah, there's not many, yeah, there's not many, there's not many cons
apart from like,
Joel Zammett,
you're a man that likes
sex.
Yeah.
And likes your dick.
Yeah.
Chucky would not be good
for that,
because he's made of wood.
Yeah,
but I'm sure,
like,
because he's been magicked,
I'm sure there's,
his butthole is not
going to stretch.
And plus,
yeah,
the bride gives birth.
Yeah, but that's fine.
That's fine good even.
No, that's like...
Oh, wait, no, because she'd have to...
She'd have to bring the Chucky baby to term.
Yeah, they have internal organs.
They must. Yeah, but I'm more worried about
the stretchiness.
Because you can't put your...
If there's a hole in a plank of wood
and your dick doesn't fit in, you can't make your dick fit.
Unless you get a wood borer.
Yeah.
Chucky is going to break off with you.
You can't wood borer his anus.
I guess it's not happening,
and you're like, but a wood borer?
And he's like, yeah, you're dumped.
Keep that away from my anus.
Dropped.
No, I'm sure...
Look, we don't know.
We cannot either confirm or deny.
We can only speculate on the genitals of the Chucky doll.
And plus, with Bratachucky, too far.
That's kind of nice.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
And like, you know, hey, polyamorous relationship with dolls.
Living the dream.
Four.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Like, not that many cons, but the cons that do exist are pretty hectic.
So I'm going to say four.
Four?
I'm happy with a four.
Four for Chuck still.
Poor Chuck, he got a four.
Now, lastly, the perfect buff for us.
BFF, boyfriend forever.
Big fucking friend.
The thing.
Pro can literally be anything you want it to be
exactly
pro
can literally
be anything
you want it to be
pro
you want a pet dog
for a bit
that's fine
the thing's got you covered
can it communicate
with us as well
yeah
when it's in the shape
of a human being
pro
good communication
yeah
and we're assuming
it loves us
it's not murdering us
yep
pro
like
super interesting because it's an alien
and we can be like, where'd you come from?
Let's talk about you.
Pro can survive in the Arctic.
Yes.
And it's the same thing with my eyes being immortal.
It applies to the thing.
Perfect boyfriend.
Exactly.
Wait, the thing's not immortal.
Thing can be killed.
I know.
Con, things go wrong for the thing
and it becomes a body horror
yeah and i don't know when it's on fire though well yeah when you're on fire you also become
a body horror that is true it's like a mouth in its tummy
con mouth tummies weird sex stuff pro yeah that's true mouth tummies
it can kiss you in the chest whilst you make love to its, that's true. Mouth tommy. It can kiss you in the chest
whilst you make love to its stomach.
That's nice!
Yet, con can never do a barbecue.
That's true.
What does it eat?
Whatever it wants.
Is it like raw? Dogs?
Or can it like... It ate a dog.
It ate a person too, I think.
Meat?
It eats meat.
It loves the barbecue.
We just cook the barbecue.
It just stays away from the fire.
And we just give him raw meat.
Pro can probably make a sick potato salad.
I feel like that's not a jump of logic.
It just makes sense.
Pro can imitate anyone.
That's been brought up three times.
We need to really...
Let me sell that.
For me, you want to get in somewhere fancy?
I'd be like, hey, look like fucking Tom Hanks for a bit.
And he's like...
And then we go in and he's like, hi, I'm Tom Hanks.
We have a table.
I think it has to kill things to look like it.
You've just killed American heartthrob Tom Hanks.
Not American heartthrob Tom Hanks. Not American heartthrob Tom Hanks.
Come on, now I'm on the run.
Frodo, you have my silver approval.
Tom Hanks is fine, but I would not be
sad if he died.
I would.
He's like America's sweetheart.
He's America's heartthrob
I would be sadder if Hugh Grant died than Tom Hanks
that's weird
I can relate to Tom
Hugh Grant
he's like yeah I had sex with a prostitute that's fine
I haven't but I feel like
saying it on national TV is a good way of dealing with it
if you have
that's cocaine I think
who doesn't?
Tom Hanks, probably, because he's your dad.
Pro.
He's our dad.
Pro.
Fucking, even though I killed Tom Hanks,
I just have the thing impersonate Tom Hanks
for the rest of his life.
Pro.
Big paycheck.
Pro.
Not on the run.
Yeah, exactly.
Pro.
Con.
I don't know how good the thing is at acting.
Really good
Can literally imitate anything
Can you like
Will when fucking
Steven Spielberg's like
Alright so in this scene you're real
You're feeling the human emotion
Regret
Will the thing just be like
And I'll be like
Honey
Whips out like
Stom stomach tentacles
like
I think Mr. Hanks
needs to spend
time
time in his trailer
this is an interesting
development
sit him down
and watch him
all of the
complete works
of Tom Hanks
yeah exactly
and be like
this is you
from now on
darling
does he need to feed, though?
Well, I'm sure he needs to eat.
Is it like, if he eats, does he become
that person? Or is it if he eats someone...
I think he gets a genetic
code. And so he's like, alright, I can always be
that person from now on.
Come on.
Oh.
So, in
The Thing, his blood, the reason they figure out who the thing is
Is because his blood is like
Hates, like all of the things
DNA is like don't attack me
Like survival is a big thing
The thing's semen
Would be extra alive
Yeah that's true
I just clenched my butthole
Gentlemen
Trying to find an ovum in me.
That's going to be hard.
That's going to be a rough time for the thing's sperm.
Because, yeah, the thing's sperm,
because again, it wants to survive.
How does it reproduce though?
With Tom Hanks' dick.
All right.
If the thing got like a womb,
could a thing bring a baby to term?
Or would it like pop out and be attached by the umbilical cord
and you'd go to chuck the umbilical cord and be like,
no, no, no, the baby's also me.
Maybe.
Mwah!
Oh, it's terrifying.
This is weird.
10 out of 10.
A pro can, you know, really sort out that prison population.
By which?
Murder?
Are you suggesting murder?
So, like, pro, I approach the government,
and I'm like, my boyfriend can kill all of the prisoners you got.
And then, I guess, if the government agrees,
you then have a boyfriend that can be about...
can look like about 10,000 people.
Like, murdering 10,000 people, by the way.
Your boyfriend can look like 10,000 prisoners.
Take over the world?
Hey, pro, take over the world.
Like, we could just murder everyone.
Well, yeah, but, Colin, also, it's one thing.
Everyone.
Yeah.
Yeah, but, as the moment we take out Kurt Russell,
no one's going to know how to fucking take out the thing.
Kurt Russell needs to be victim number one.
But it's fire, isn't it?
There's a lot of bullets, I think.
Like, it's a thing that
can be field paint.
The thing can become anything.
You know, like in Akira.
You know, when it's like that
giant, big... When Tatsuo
decides to just fucking cut loose.
Yeah, I'm very familiar with that.
I dream about it often.
Yeah, that.
I guess.
Can the thing change its mass?
Have you seen Akira?
No, I've just seen bits and pieces.
I was going to say, do you think anime is trash?
No anime is trash.
If there's two things in life, Jackson Bailey, anime is trash, Joe Dusha, my friends are trash.
Can the thing change its mass?
Can it become just huge yeah it does when it's on the operating table
when they realise what it
it becomes fucking massive
so it could become Godzilla if it wanted
and then just Godzilla the town
or world we could take over the world with his boyfriend
that's true
what if you take over the world with him and then you're like
you know what actually then we kill ourselves
we've done our mission.
Is that our plan?
My plan now. I'm gonna go and
ride the shoulders of this giant
and let's destroy everything.
Con, unhealthy
relationship. I'm gonna drown myself.
I'd rather
be on the run with Tom Hanks frankly
at this point.
Alright, so I think it's safe to say
that The Thing is an 8...
I'd say 9 out of 10.
10 out of 10, man, no flaws.
I was going to say 8 out of 10,
unless it's Tom Hanks, The Thing, then a 9.
Yeah, but you could make it Tom Hanks, The Thing.
10.
10 out of 10.
The Thing is the perfect boyfriend.
The Thing is the perfect boyfriend.
Of the 1980s horror movie classics,
i.e. Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, the actor... The Thing is the perfect boyfriend. The Thing is the perfect boyfriend. Of the 1980s horror movie classics,
i.e. Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, the actor.
Dana Carvey.
Chucky.
And The Thing.
The Thing reigns supreme.
The Thing reigns supreme.
Dana Carvey, close second.
Close second to The Thing.
And on that note, I've been Joel.
I've been Jackson. And I've been also Joel.
