This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch.
Hi, everyone. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for
those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily, and I am too scared to watch scary
movies.
I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies. So I watch them and I tell you about them.
But before we get into this week's movie, did anything scary happen to us this week in our real lives?
Henley, I vote you go first. How about that?
Because I always put you on the chopping block.
I'm always like, Emily has something.
So something scary that happened to me this week
that's actually just ongoing.
And I apologize in advance.
I really thought about whether or not
to talk about this in the podcast.
And you know what?
I'm just fucking going to go for it and talk about it.
Oh, I'm excited.
I'm scared.
Okay.
So I have a new form of birth control called Nexplanon that they surgically implant into
your arm, which I just want to say that that was like undersold to me by my doctor.
Like they did not really inside your arm.
Yeah.
She was kind of like she was like, oh, we just like insert into your arm.
It's like no big deal, whatever.
But like, no, it was like, fuck.
It was like really intense.
Like it hurt really badly when they put it in my arm.
My God.
I don't know.
I don't whatever.
So that being said, they told me before this would happen, they were like, you probably
won't ever get your period, but there's a chance.
There's a chance that you also just might have it all the time.
And I got to tell you guys, I fucking have it all the fucking time.
Oh, Henley, that's so horrible.
That is the scariest thing we've probably ever shared in these check-ins real scary thing
i've ever heard and it's horrible because also i have to get it removed i have to like go back
to the doctor because no one wants to go to the doctor that much it's like we gotta make this not
the case yeah no it's like and it's just a pain it's just a pain in the ass
like it's so fucking annoying and um i know that like i need to schedule a doctor's appointment
go back like do the whole thing but like it's been covid and like you don't want to go to the
doctor right now in new york and like i have a six month old and like it's hard to like do anything and so i've just been living with a period a constant period
for jesus fucking weeks now and that's hell it's hell on earth it is hell i'm so sorry oh my god
i feel shitty like it's not just like i like don't feel good I don't feel good I like feel tired
and I feel cranky and I feel
going fucking crazy so
emotional like I'll just get so
emotional about absolutely
nothing I mean
it's like a period is met as
a lot of things and I feel like this is not
acknowledged enough that it's like
everyone's like oh my god pain and
bleeding that's true hey
we're talking about it on the podcast i feel like we've done this for two years and we don't talk
about periods hardly ever so you know what it's time it's happening um but also it's it's your
whole body it's your whole existence your hormones go crazy it affects the way you think the way you
feel though it's like it's the way your
skin, it's like fucking everything. And we just act like it is the most normal shit that could
ever happen. God, man, it's crazy. Henley, I'm so sorry. It's really okay. And I've brought this
up to you guys like a couple of times, but just to like give a little example of how emotional I am.
I know I keep bringing this up. I text you guys about it. I referenced it earlier. But we watched Black Widow last night, two nights ago. And there's a scene in the beginning where the children are in shipping containers and they're about to be shipped off to some super intense military training where they're going to be turned into super weapons or whatever. And I like lost it. I was so upset for them. I was so sad.
I was feeling all the feelings. I was in that shipping container with those children.
Like out of control. It was a Marvel movie. Like, come on, get out of here.
Anyway, so I can't live my life like this and I'm going to get it fixed, but
I just want everyone to know, all the
women out there, if you're thinking about getting Nexplanon
implanted in your arm, like, DM me
because I have thoughts and feelings.
I think they could probably guess
what the thoughts are.
Oh, God. Henley.
Oh, no. I was
re-watching, because you guys know how I refuse to watch anything new pretty much because like my my anxiety brain lately has just been like, don't attach yourself to anything new that you might like.
So I just rewatch other things that I've seen already a thousand times.
So I was rewatching season two of Fleabag.
And God, that monologue that that woman gives to her and at the bar, it's after the like woman of the woman in business award.
And she talks about how women's lives are constantly pain that like we're born into pain.
We get pain once a month for our whole lives.
And I just was running through my head as you were talking, Henley, of like, oh, my God, it's just like perpetual pain and discomfort and dealing with it forever.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I mean, I don't know what else to say except yes.
That's it. That's it.
Yes. There's
nothing good. There's nothing else to it.
There's nothing rewarding.
No good side.
No good side.
Okay, wait. What about you guys? Tell me about the scary
things that happened to you.
Well, after that, it's going to be pale in comparison.
Did you make too much soup?
Yeah, what's your soup levels like?
I didn't make any soup this week.
You know, I did make some soup, now that you mention it.
But that's not what I'm going to talk about.
It's not very exciting what I'm going to talk about.
Well, my cat's turned six.
Passage of time is scary.
Happy birthday, boys.
Happy birthday to my boys, my sons, my beautiful sons.
And I became a citizen of the United States.
Pretty scary.
Pretty crazy.
That was crazy.
But I'm going to talk about something much less important than both of those things which is that
a new trend for me
is that I'm starting to
fall asleep in movies and
I never
I've never done that before
I feel like I built part of
my personality around like
I can't fall asleep in a movie because
I'm too engaged and I just
like my brain can't shut off because I'm just like something's happening.
I need to follow it through to the end.
Wow.
And I don't know.
I fell asleep in the Matrix Resurrections in the movie theater.
Sammy, you did not tell me this.
Because I was embarrassed.
I couldn't tell anybody.
Thank you for your honesty and your bravery.
I fell asleep.
I saw Parallel Mothers yesterday.
Fell asleep in that.
I just, yeah, I don't.
And this is in the movie theater you're falling asleep.
Because that's another element to it.
That you're falling asleep in public.
Which is crazy.
Yes, it's crazy.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like, just once, it's like maybe whatever.
But you were too tired.
It's happened a couple times now.
I fell asleep in Yellow Jackets, which is the show that I really like that usually I find very engaging.
And so it's like not that these things are boring.
It's just like a development in my brain.
And so I knew people in like high school and whatever that like would have to have TV on to be able to fall asleep.
And I always thought it was really crazy,
but I think like whatever's happening in their brains is now happening in
mine where there's something like meditative about it.
And I'm just like,
okay,
well I'm low lulled to sleep by it,
but I'm not thrilled by this development.
I think you're feeling you're like in your safe place.
You're like doing the thing you love the most.
Like you love going to the movie theater so much.
And I want to be awake for it.
How long are you falling asleep for?
Also, not long.
OK.
And how long into the movie?
Usually around the halfway point.
Interesting.
I fell asleep asleep in a movie called Drive My Car, which, to be fair, was the full three
hours long.
And it's really slow.
But that one, I probably fell asleep for.
I only fall asleep for about five minutes and then I kind of get a second wind and can
see it through to the end.
But maybe it's just you see more movies than anyone I know.
Maybe it's just that your brain is like, hey, we're going to need to use some of this time.
Like so many movies that at a certain point, I gotta
get mine in. And so I'm gonna make
you sleep for a little bit.
So many movies. Movie power
nap. I don't know. I don't
like it. So I thought I would just tell
you guys. I'm so sorry. It's scary
to me. It might just be a phase, Sammy.
It might just be a phase. I hope so.
It might just be a phase. I hope so.
It's a phase. And that's okay.
That's okay. Thank you. Otherwise, you're gonna be like you're gonna be like my grandmother joni she would fucking fall asleep everywhere and snore so loudly and one time one time she came to
she visited my college and she came to see like the big production of the like college play that they were putting on which was hamlet which was hamlet and caroline was in it and my grandmother fucking fell asleep and snored so
loudly oh no so loudly and i wasn't sitting near her i was sitting far away from her somebody
related to her must have been though right like i I can't remember. I feel like she was sitting
like, we got there late and she
had to sit in a handicapped spot or
something so I couldn't sit right next to her.
I was like,
God damn it. So Sammy... I can't be
Aunt Joanie. I can't. No.
Grandma Joanie, to be fair. Grandma Joanie.
But still.
Wow. Alright, Emily.
Emily, what's scary in your life?
Mine is also body related.
Okay.
And it's that I think maybe I have tinnitus.
Is that how you say it?
Tinnitus.
Is it tinnitus or is it tinnitus?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, I don't know what it's called, but I think that I have it.
Tinnitus sounds more right to me
this is reminding me of when you guys made fun of me for saying
okay because okay so this thing has been happening to me lately.
And I, okay, I think it's related to my, I play at night like rain sounds.
And I think it is related somehow to the pitch of the rain sounds.
I'm zeroing in on this.
Here's what it is.
This happens to me sometimes as I'm falling asleep.
And then sometimes when I wake up in the morning where I will hear and I just always thought it's outside my window, a sound every 30 seconds that sounds like really, really faint wind chimes for like a second.
Just like a little like tingling, like not that chimey, but that like sort of just like this is something like that.
Like like a glass, you know, when you do on a champagne glass kind of thing.
More like the ding of like hitting the, yes.
Okay, okay, okay.
The dings.
But it's really quiet.
And I've always just thought it's like something out in my neighborhood that when I'm like falling asleep, I have a hard time.
Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep and I'm hearing it and I get fixated on it and I can't fall asleep.
But I am moving to a new apartment, which is probably going to be the scary
thing I talk about for the next two months. But until
then, we'll just... So I thought
I had the other night was like, well, at least I'm moving
and I won't hear those
fucking chimes anymore.
And then this morning when
I woke up in my new, what
will be my new apartment, I
heard the fucking chimes
in the same space apart. They sound the fucking chimes. In the same.
Like space apart.
They sound the same.
And here's the thing.
They don't sound like they're in my head.
It really sounds like it's outside.
But it's like.
It was the same one.
It's the same sound.
It's the same thing.
So I started googling this morning.
Like what hearing wind chimes that are far away
like what is this
and
what I saw on reddit some person posted this story
that like if you hear wind chimes don't look out the window
it's a sign that like someone's there
to kill you but then another person
there's a lot of things if you look this up people think
that hearing wind chimes that aren't around
is like a sign that your
angels are near you.
Well, that's nice.
Which is nice, but I was also like, but it's fucking annoying and I can't sleep when I hear it.
And so it's like, I don't want, but it is also, so then I turned my rain sounds off this morning during the Googling and I didn't hear it anymore.
And I was like, I think the pitch of it is doing something in my ears.
Brain?
Is that how it works?
I don't know.
Anyway.
I hope that's it.
I'm going to explore it.
I'm going to explore it.
Why don't you send me these rain sounds?
What if it is actually literally in the rain sounds?
Because sometimes I'll put on a rain mix.
That's like definitely it, Emily.
It's in the fucking rain sounds.
Can I tell you what?
I never once considered that that way. Emily, that's fucking definitely it, Emily. It's in the fucking rain sounds. Can I tell you what? I never once considered that that way.
Emily, that's fucking what it is.
It's in the rain sounds.
Of course that's what it is.
It's probably in the rain sounds.
It must be in the rain sounds.
Because I've listened to some rain sounds where there's a foreign sound and I'm like,
I can't sleep because of the non- the non rain aspect of this particular rain sound.
Wait, I thought I was assuming the rain sounds were off by the time you were listening.
No.
Well, we solved it.
Hey, it's not so scary anymore.
I'm crying.
This is why we get together that I never once considered.
You know what? When we put our heads together, we can solve anything.
This is why we need community. This is why we need community. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What does that say about me that I was like, well, I got this ailment.
about me that I was like, well, I got this ailment.
Oh my god, okay.
You know what? I feel great.
I feel so good.
Oh man, yeah, like a weight lifted.
Oh my god, can you believe?
You don't have tinnitus or tinnitus, whichever
one it was, you don't have it either way.
I don't have it, I just, I'm playing
a sound that I hear.
Oh my god.
Your body is doing the right thing
by hearing the sound. Oh my god. I hear the sound.
Okay, so, great.
Great. I like it.
I like how we were more willing to believe angels.
Angels. I'm telling you,
I've been thinking
about this for so long
and I never considered
ever that it was in the sound.
It's either angels or
tinnitus.
I'm crying too, Emily.
Oh, this is good.
Oh, the way that I feel
right now. Okay.
Oh my god. Let's do what we came here to do.
Let's get down to business.
Let's do what we came here to do. This week's movie that we are talking about is Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
Came out in 1988.
Directed by Stephen Chiodo.
Written by Charles Chiodo, Stephen Chiodo, and Edward Chiodo.
Any relation?
No, just a coincidence pure coincidence
uh starring grant kramer suzanne snyder and john allen nelson and it is available to stream on hbo
max oh my god and we i'm so delighted we are joined this week by a guest to talk about this movie with us
if you don't already love him
you're gonna Oscar Montoya
why
Emily
I can't
I can't
Oscar I'm not well
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
Oscar what do you think angels I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
Oscar, what do you think?
Angels?
Angels?
Absolutely.
I think Reddit is right.
For once, it's angels.
It's angels.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
Oscar, how are you?
I'm doing great.
I'm glad you were here for this. Of all people, I really am. am i'm so glad i'm so glad to share this with you oscar did anything scary happen to you this week how's your body what's
going on my body's great but actually the scary thing that's happening to me is very related to
yours emily because i also use um auditory help to fall asleep because I have a very hard time sleeping.
I don't ever sleep.
So what I've done is I do the sleep, the rain, the storm sounds.
But also I've developed a fondness for YouTube has a whole bunch of these where they're like specifically playing oldies in the next room while it's raining outside
oh my god i've gotten into that that's great that niche so like it's like someone's turning
on the radio and it's like 1935 or something and also there's a rainstorm happening but the
things aren't happening in the room you're sleeping in it's happening next door so it's like yeah and that that's been very helpful for me that is genius oh my god because
it's like i think i i need to hear uh music or something because i used to just listen to music
to fall asleep which is weird because the only way i listen to music is by uh hitting shuffle
on i when i had an uh an ipod but on my spotify i hit shuffle so you know there's some random
stuff that shows up and i'm like oh whoa this is it's a a metal band it's a necro goblin con okay
like i can't fall asleep with this so anyway so uh but so i'm always on the lookout of like things to help me fall asleep or things to calm me down.
And someone someone sent me a mukbang video.
Oh, God.
For those of you who don't know, mukbang is like when people eat copious amounts of food and it's just like weird ASMR.
And I've always laughed at ASMR.
For me, like that's a
territory where i'm like that's a little too weird for me uh yeah especially like the like the
i don't know if y'all listen to asmr but there's one in particular that makes me laugh very
very very much which is an australian guy who looks exactly like chris hem he's the guy who looks exactly like
Chris Hemsworth. He's the guy
who played Thor in the Marvel movies. Chris Hemsworth.
Yeah, yeah. He looks just like him
but he does ASMRs
where he's like mean to you.
So he's like a flight attendant
who's like, oh, you're being
a really big dummy right now.
Like just like constantly.
But there's one video where he's
dressed up as the genie
in Aladdin's, in Disney's Aladdin.
So he's like in blue
blue paint
just being mean to you.
He's asking you to make wishes.
And he's like, come on, hurry up.
I don't have all day. You know?
It's very funny. But to me
that doesn't calm me. It makes very funny. But to me, that doesn't calm me.
It makes me laugh.
But someone sent me this mukbang video, and I was like, this is too odd.
But here's the scary thing.
I can't stop watching mukbangs.
Oh, no.
You're hooked.
And it's gotten to the point where, you know, on my Instagram, all the for you sort of things are embarrassingly.
Yeah, they know.
They figured it out.
Muck banks.
And I was never, I never expected to be that kind of person.
I never expected to, you know, get enjoyment out of people just like chewing food.
Sorry.
But I guess I am am I don't know
there's one that's very funny it's literally
a mouth that's like
has eyes and
it does a mukbang like it
eats with its mouth but it makes the
it's dubbed with like people actually eating
it's very strange but I love it
wow so I'm scared of the person I've become essentially is what I'm trying to say It's dubbed with like people actually eating. It's very strange, but I love it.
So I'm scared of the person I've become, essentially, is what I'm trying to say.
Life surprises you.
Life surprises you.
I think it's OK.
This is like the exact opposite.
So I have watched mukbang videos.
I'm so intrigued by the fact that they're so popular. But it's like I have misophonia, which is a real thing.
You guys were like certain noises really fucking.
We'll be the judge.
It might be angels, actually.
It might be angels.
It might be angels.
And like people chewing right next to me.
Really, actually.
Actually, here's the thing.
If one of you guys was going to chew next to me, I'd probably be fine.
It's really like Tim or my parents, if they're chewing right next to me in a quiet room. And that's a disorder.
This is a thing that is diagnosed.
Yes, wait, have you not heard of misophonia?
No, I have, but I feel like if it's related just to your spouse or your parents, it's something else.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
No, here's the thing is I probably would feel it with you guys, but I would overcome it.
It wouldn't like trigger you.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't like ever be like, Emily, like we can't be in the same room right now.
Like it's not that severe.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Is it the way that they specifically chew food that you don't like?
Are they loud chewers?
It's like, well, OK, No, it's probably that you're
just more comfortable to tell
them to move. Yeah, or like
specifically it's when we're watching TV.
If we're watching a TV show, especially
one where I'm really invested and want to know what happens,
all I can tune into
is them chewing food and it
really distracts me. And Tim
eats so much at night.
He's like insane how much he eats.
Like it takes him a solid.
To eat dinner, it takes him like 50 solid minutes.
So we're talking like one full episode of Station Eleven.
We're talking one full episode of Mayor of Easttown.
You know what I mean?
Like I can't deal with that.
Yeah.
So that's tough. Anyway, this is like not to sidetrack
into my misophonia no no it's interesting because if i were probably with tim i'd be like yeah cool
this is great let me i'm just gonna fall asleep right now if you don't mind is that cool so cozy so comfy exactly um wait oscar so you like
scary movies right do you like them love scary movies i i love them yes i i'm like sammy i love
scary movies and i enjoy just watching movies i it's sammy are you on letterboxd i am i'm i
recently just kind of got yep yep yep maybe we
can you know because i'm very into that i'm very into like what are my friends watching yeah i just
recently followed my first friend i like didn't even know that was an aspect of it and so yes
i'm getting into it on the reviews writing the reviews i'm not writing reviews but i'm giving
them a a star rating that's like a good read situation, but for movies?
Yes.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Cool.
Yes.
Yes.
I am what you would call
a heavy consumer of media.
You know,
all I do is consume.
I don't really make anything.
I don't make art.
I consume art.
So I,
and by art,
I mean garbage.
So,
yeah,
so I will watch,
I will watch anything.
I have a high tolerance of garbage.
I, I seek it out.
You've had Betsy Sedaro on the podcast,
and her and I have bonded over just really being attracted to,
you know, lowbrow, bottom-of-the-barrel sort of media.
We love it.
We're here for it.
We stan it, you know?
But, yes, specifically horror movies.
I grew up watching horror movies.
I remember my first horror movie was watching the howling at age four and that was a huge moment for
me uh and ever since i was fascinated by horror movies and i just watched it non-stop it's all
i watched as a child i don't even know what the howling is the howling is a werewolf movie makes
sense uh it's probably one of the most iconic werewolf movies that have been made, I think.
It's an 80s movie.
But yes, it's great.
A lot of great practical effects.
The monster makeup of the werewolf is incredible.
Sammy, have you seen The Howling?
No, I haven't.
It's fantastic.
I recommend it.
I gotta see it.
Yeah, it's great.
I gotta see it.
So I've been conditioned to watch all of all of the very
gory violent i grew up watching all these like gory stuff however yeah this is an insight to
how i was as a child i would love watching the grossest like decapitations and like brains being
smushed and like be so like in it but if a girl took off her top or if i saw a naked body i would be like
i would be so uncomfortable watching nudity or like when people like would make out
in these horror movies because obviously they go hand in hand yeah they go hand in hand if
you're horny you're gonna die exactly you can't die if you're not horny you know so uh i would be that's what used to
gross me out a lot was just like oh the nudity oh i remember i would i wouldn't watch uh rendon
stimpy cartoons because they would show their butts and i would just so offended yeah that's
so funny being offended by butts I really love that
and now I think butts are the most hilarious thing
so there you go
butts are amazing butts are so funny
so funny
we just did for a bonus episode we just did the visit
and like lot of butts
lot of butts
yeah yeah yeah
and it's fun
that's the take away of the visit it's fun that's the takeaway of the visit
it's a butt movie
for you
what's like the scary
is there a scary movie you watched that you were like legitimately
scared by
yeah so it's tough
because I've been sort of
desensitized of like watching
I think The Exorcist is
I think the scariest movie ever made i think
it's grounded in a way that feels real um it's it's about the psychology of this the horror
rather than like i mean of course there's like intense moments and also because it's a it's a
girl linda blair doing all that stuff you're just just like, oh my God, it is very jarring.
And not being treated well on set in real life.
Scary shit happening for real.
That part.
I mean, you know.
So yeah, The Exorcist, I think, is a movie that scares me.
I also think the Suspiria remake is actually very well done and I think
genuinely scary because
of the tone. Anybody who
gets like the tone of
horror because it's a very specific tone
I think that movie
does a really really good job at just
like mining the tone of it and
unleashing it at us in a
really scary way. It's fantastic. I don't know
have you seen the Suspiria remake?
I've seen it.
We haven't done it on the podcast,
but we did the original Suspiria
and they're like tonally very different.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I love the original Suspiria,
but it is not scary at all.
Yes.
Yeah.
They're way different.
And we've had it suggested
and we should do it because it is.
Is Dakota Johnson in the Suspiria remake?
Yeah. Very, very
great. With like a forehead thing
or like a hairline
change. With a forehead thing? Wait, doesn't she have like a
hairline change or something? I feel like her
face is looking very funny in the Suspiria
remake. I don't recall.
Am I wrong? I don't know.
You might be right, but I just don't know what a forehead
thing. She might just like not have bangs
in it. Maybe she just doesn't have bangs in it
and she always has bangs.
You've exactly tapped into Dakota
Johnson real person's biggest fear.
She's got a forehead
thing, right?
Maybe I'm
misremembering, but I feel like they did something.
One of those things her friends tells her. No one noticed.
No one's thinking about your forehead.
Your forehead is normal.
Do you think anyone will say anything about my forehead
throughout this movie? No one's going to say anything about your forehead.
That would be crazy. Your forehead is so normal.
Thank you, Tilda Swinton. Thank you.
You're such a good friend.
Oh, my God.
Okay, and so this movie in particular
is one of your all-time favorites.
I will say, you mentioned Betsy.
Every single time we've had Betsy on.
I think she's like, we could do Killer Clown.
Like she like we never she never picks it, but it's always up there.
Yes. Yeah.
I mean, this is the sweet spot to me.
I mean, the subgenre of horror that I really gravitate towards is the sort of campy, specifically 80s practical effect horror comedies like those are my favorite um like uh basket case is truly one of my favorite movies of all time it's like a gortastic feast
of just bad acting uh really great practical effects and just a lot of blood everywhere
um and night of the creeps is also another one that i really love but i think
killer clowns is holds a higher place for me because it taps into my personal aesthetic of
the memphis design um and memphis design is sort of just like think like peewee's playhouse that
like a lot of bright colors
a lot of squiggles
you know a lot of like weird patterned
wallpaper stuff
this director is the director of Pee Wee's Big Adventure
right? I think it is
yes yes yes
there's a lot of that I mean and this movie
popularized the sort of
Memphis aesthetic in
a lot of movies and it's also great it's got
clowns that kill people you know so crazy people do you have a very legitimate fear of clowns i
love clowns i think clowns are great but do you do you have a fear of does anyone here have a fear
of clowns have we ever talked about this before i don don't think we do. I mean, I don't specifically
have one. I famously
think Pennywise is hot, so.
Right, which one?
Tim Curry or? Bill Skarsgård.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
He actually can get it.
That Pennywise, I'd be like,
okay.
He has a forehead thing.
That's a Stephanie forehead thing.
Emily out here calling everybody on their forehead game.
Y'all better watch out.
That's a forehead thing if I ever saw one.
Y'all better watch out.
No, I mean, I don't like it when a clown is creepy.
Like the clown in fucking Hell House LLC, that freaky little guy.
I don't like that
but clowns as an idea clowns out in the world no they don't bother they don't bother me right right
yeah but yeah this movie is is is great because it is a funny movie with i think some very scary
elements to it i mean the practical effects of the clown alone is incredible.
It's fun also because it's so like funny and silly a lot of the time that when it gets
to a part that's like genuinely disturbing, it like hits so much harder.
Like there's one moment that we'll talk about, but that I was like, oh my God, like it really
surprised me when it got like right actually upsetting because what it does really well
is it really explores this idea of what if killer clowns from outer space you know what i mean what
if there were clowns that killed people and it's like oh yeah they would have like a cotton candy
cocoon moment like oh yes they would make a you know what i mean it's a true exploration of the idea which is like done really well because and it's and it's treated
silly you know so the the expectation of the victims it's like these are clowns like no one
is actually scared of these clowns at first they look at these clowns and they're like haha what
are you gonna do you know uh punch my block off is a quote from one of the one of the scenes.
And yes, as true decapitation happens in the movie.
And you're like, oh, oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
That's possible here.
You know, these clowns can really create havoc and chaos.
So that's that's why I love this movie.
Oh, I can't wait.
OK, so we're going to watch this trailer.
I can't wait to see what these clowns look like.
I got no idea.
I have no frame of reference.
Oh, my God.
I'm excited.
Just you wait.
Just you wait.
I also don't even know.
I can kind of picture the Memphis design, but I don't really know what that, and so I'm
very excited to see that in action, too.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
Let's freaking have a look.
It was a night like any other night.
Then something happened.
You see that?
Something different.
It's the shooting star.
Why here?
Why now?
Why... clowns?
They've been knocking them dead...
all over the universe. What are you gonna do?
Knock my block off?
Soon they'll be doing it at a theater near you.
Killer clowns from outer space. Uh-oh.
Pizza?
Maybe they're just cruising through the galaxy and stopped here for a bite to eat.
You don't need a police bell, you need a psychiatrist.
Uh-oh.
They want to play games?
They're messing with the wrong guy.
What are you in for?
Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
It's crazy.
I wasn't prepared.
I was not prepared.
It's crazy is the best ending line.
That's the tag.
It's crazy.
It's crazy. Yeah, the guy who did the voiceover for that trailer is not as scary at all so it's kind of funny to have the contrast of him um those clowns are terrifying though they're very
scary yeah don't like those clowns yeah they're they're they're great also like the trailer it's
everything it's a little darker than it actually is,
so you kind of can't see the clowns very well.
But they look terrifying.
They're very terrifying.
Also, the song from the trailer, it's by a punk band.
What are they called?
Wait, hold on.
They're called the Dickies.
Yes, they're called the dick the dickies yes they're called the dickies and they wrote that song before without getting a script at all they were just like can
you write a song for a movie called killer clowns from outer space and they wrote an entire song
it's a great song i recommend everyone listening to it it's very very fun and it it's an homage to
i think this whole movie is an homage to like the 1950s horror movies of like The Blob.
It starts very similar to The Blob.
And even in The Blob with Steve McQueen, there is an original song called The Blob and it's very campy too.
So yeah.
Hell yeah.
Shout out to the Dickies for writing Killer Clowns from Outer Space without knowing a lick of the plot of this movie.
Very fun.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm ready to know.
Yeah, let's fucking get into it.
In the past few years, I have hit a point where I only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable.
It happened.
It happened to me.
But you know what?
I still also want to look cute.
And these are two desires that are often extremely opposing. And I don't want to happened to me. But you know what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two
desires that are often extremely opposing. And I don't want to have to sacrifice. I want both. I
want comfort and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again
with their soft lounge collection. I am currently very, very obsessed with, I have the soft lounge
tank and boxer set. Okay. This
tank, it's a great little rib tank. Classic. You can wear it every day. You can pair it with jeans.

comfortable. It is super, super soft, lightweight rib. They're great. I also truly have been for
years stealing Joel's boxer briefs to wear as sleepwear and loungewear. And guess
what? That ain't cutting it. I'm not feeling too cute in those. I'm not feeling too comfortable.

Okay, so we see we open up and it's a small town, you know, and not a lot of stuff is happening.
You see teenagers just sort of hanging out.
There's one teenager who's like holding a bag of groceries but slipping a noticeable can that says the word beer on it so you know he's a bad boy even though he's wearing these like very bright red glasses but there's a
cop there that's looking at him a little distressingly like these kids are gonna cause
mayhem you know so um you think this part was gonna be a big deal but it didn't it was just a
little aside uh so um so then we sort of move into this like
i would say i would call it like a like a makeout point sammy right yeah it's called top top of the
world which there was a top of the world where i grew up and it wasn't actually a makeout point
but it was it was very pretty it was just like a you know up on a up at the top of a hill wait
so no one went out there to make out i certainly didn't i'm sure somebody did i'm sure somebody did but that place was you
know where you or you would go and you would make out and then we're we're introduced to our our
lead mike tobacco best name oh my god yes exactly great great name uh and his girlfriend debbie stone and they're sort of making
out on top of a raft i don't remember why that's i do remember clocking it and being like yeah no i
don't think they're in the car in the back seat but there's a raft underneath them where they're
just sort of making out and it was like i don't really understand but anyway so that's happening
they're you know they're they're they're just like talking sort of like getting to know each And I was like, I don't really understand. But anyway, so that's happening there.
You know, they're they're they're just like talking sort of like getting to know each
other, not getting to know each other, but like, you know, falling in love.
And then you meet the two brothers.
I forgot what their names are.
Rich and Paul Terenzi, the Terenzi brothers.
The Terenzi brothers who are they they run the ice cream truck, and they're sort of, they're, for lack of a better word,
cock-blocking Top of the World by being funny.
They're the funny guys, you know what I mean?
They're two twins, and they're trying to get some as well.
So they bring these two ladies who look like moms,
who look like straight-up moms,
and they're all supposed to be teenagers.
But the two ladies are straight-up being like, listen, we're here for the ice cream. We're not here to have sex but the two ladies are straight up being like
we're here, listen, we're here for the ice cream
we're not here to have sex with you nerds
they've bribed him with free ice cream
we're just a truck baby
it's funny because, you know, yeah
they are there for the ice cream and they're like
he's like, oh yeah, don't worry
you know, we're not here to
take off, you know, we're not here to take off your top
and one of the ladies is like, and we don't
intend to that's very funny but you know they they cause a lot of mayhem
they're very silly they're very silly guys uh uh and also uh they do have a kyoto brothers
vibe to them because the kyoto brothers are these like three wise guys. They're the ones who wrote and directed Killer Clowns.
Three wise guys from the Bronx.
You know what I mean?
So the two ice cream truck brothers are like very like,
hey, I'm selling ice cream over here.
You know what I mean?
They're the fun guys.
You know what I mean?
But also big nerds.
So anyway, while that's happening,
they see a giant sort of comet uh go by as you saw in the
trailer you know they're like oh what is that so then we cut to uh a farmer just like a yokel
there very much in the style of the blob uh and and uh creep show um who's hanging out with his
bloodhound uh and he's like oh my god what is this this is
hailey's comet because hailey's comet was a big thing back back in the 80s uh and it's like oh
my god this town is gonna be famous so he goes over to check it out and then he sees it's a giant
circus tent like a high top and he's like doesn't bat an eye doesn't clock it as weird he's like i
love the circus what's all this you know and then he gets zapped i think he gets zapped by some
something i i don't even remember yeah like a little hole zaps in the through the tent and we
kind of see the silhouettes of clowns inside being naughty like zapping them up and yeah they both
get zapped we don't see him and his dog is that's the them that's the them and the dog gets zapped first and then he
gets so mad that he can't find his dog and he says what in tarnation's going on here i'll tear
this tent apart with my bare hands because he can't find his dog it's a lot of overacting i
mean honestly he's fun he it's all that overacting is is happening in in the very
beginning of the movie we're setting the tone also the dog dies in a movie i mean that's that's
pretty potent you know for for a horror movie that's that's that's nuts um so anyway they go
back and debbie's sort of a razzing mike and being like why don't we go and check it out and mike's
like i don't know i don't think that's a good idea she's like come on let's go on an adventure so she's pushing him to go and then they they both go to
check it out and then they also see the high top and then they go inside because they're like oh
what's what's all this so they check it out and then you see this like amazing i mean the set
design of this movie is like it's really out of this, pun intended. And it's very cool.
But then they see the clowns.
The clowns are there.
And they have these guns and they shoot popcorn out of them.
And they're like totally shocked that they...
Popcorn?
What are you talking...
And it sticks to their back.
You know what I mean?
They're able to escape, you know?
But they're also very weirded out at like,
what's happening here, you know? There they're also very weirded out at, like, what's happening here, you know?
There's, like, a part where the, inside the tent, there's, like, the little cotton candy cocoons.
They're, like, as they're exploring, they see these big pods, human-sized pods that are, like, pink fluff balls.
And Mike says, like, this must be where they hang the cotton candy out to dry before they ship it off.
Yeah, Mike is a little dense in the head.
Yeah, he's sort of just your...
Debbie's like, I don't think that's how it works.
I don't think that's how they make...
Yeah, they just hang it out in the air and then we leave it.
Also, this is a clown's job.
A clown's job is to, you know, ship out cotton candy to everyone.
Yeah, the cotton candy.
The clowns are really pretty managerial roles at a circus.
Absolutely, yes.
They are aspirational.
Yes, they're the aspirational characters in this movie.
But then the clowns are sort of just getting out of the tent
and sort of trying to find them.
So what one of the clowns does is creates a balloon animal of a dog.
It's so good. A balloon animal of a dog. It's so good.
A balloon animal of a dog.
And then the dog is sniffing out the humans.
So they're tracking them.
It's a very funny moment.
So fun.
Yeah, it's a very funny moment.
But then they're officially out.
They've been released into this poor town.
The killer clowns.
Oh, no.
Are out on the town.
Oh, no.
And I don't know how you felt about
the voices of these
clowns, Sammy, but they have the
they speak in, they don't
speak English, they have like the alien
sort of gibberish language. We
always like end our episodes with
a voice and so I'm always in watching
horror movies trying to be like what
voice can we do to say goodbye at the
end and these clown voices are real tricky.
Gonna be tricky to do.
Because they are speaking just like gibberish.
But it's like the, it reminded
me of the aliens in Spice World.
You know how they're like...
That's exactly
what they sounded like. I haven't seen Spice World
in so long. I know, I don't even remember
I don't remember if there were aliens
in it. Oh, Spice World rules. And yes,
of course there are aliens in it. Of course.
Of course.
Because they are big
fans of the Spice Girls, right?
Yes. Like, I like their
Spice Girls are so famous. Uh-huh. Like, even
aliens love them. Uh-huh. Naturally.
Naturally. Naturally.
So, yeah.
So, then we cut to um there's the oh there's the two cops
there's like a uh sort of like uh what do you call the head cop top cop we have had this exact
what's the hierarchy of the police sheriff a sheriff right sheriff right but yeah we had
this exact conversation we literally called
someone a top cop
for like a whole
episode
because who knows
we couldn't remember
the word
I have no idea
okay so there
yeah there is a top cop
he's older
and sort of hates
teenagers
that's his whole thing
he's like teenagers
are out to like
out to cause havoc
it's a weekend
you know
they're all
and then there's like
a younger cop
who is
who used to date cop who used to date Dave, who used to date Debbie.
So a little bit of drama in there.
So the top cop catches these two punks.
One of them weirdly looks like a goth Tom Hanks, in my opinion.
That's interesting.
Yeah, they go to the college and
they're like why are you out drinking outside of campus you could be drinking in camp on campus or
whatever so they put him in jail uh for truly no reason a cab all the way um you know i don't like
you go to jail exactly yes very that so then debbie's sort of freaking out and she's like oh
my god what are we gonna do she's like i know exactly who we should go to we should go talk to dave my ex he is a cop
and he is my ex mike tobacco don't get mad and mike is like don't get mad mike tobacco
he's like oh okay i guess so so you know they go. But also the clowns have found a convenience store, a pharmacy?
Yeah, yeah.
Is that where we're at?
Both of those things-ish.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's a small town, so maybe it's a combination.
Like a Walgreens type of situation.
Yeah, exactly.
Like a small Walgreens.
Right, like a Walgreens.
So these clowns show up, and this poor pharmacist is looking at them sideways like, what the hell is going on here, right?
And his performance. Excellent.
Mwah, chef's kiss. And these clowns are, you know, they're causing a lot of havoc because, you know, they're looking at all the stuff and being like, we don't have this in our planet, you know?
So they're looking at like a powder and they're sneezing all over uh the powder
there's something what what's the other thing that they use i can't remember anyway hilarity ensues
they shoot a gun and they they trap one of the girls who's in the pharmacy into one of those
cotton ball uh cocoon things uh and that's when the pharmacist is like, he's like, OK, I need to call the cops because
obviously that's what you do.
And so the cops have been getting a lot of phone calls from people being like, there's
there's clowns attacking me.
And he thinks it's a prank.
He's like, all these kids are going to, you know, they're driving me crazy here.
And then we see like a little montage of the clowns causing havoc and and they range
from uh one of them opening it uh up and he's a pizza delivery person now these aliens don't
speak english but they do know the word for pizza pizza universal that one is universal exactly
and then so uh one of them opens it and and they open the carton and out pops a killer clown uh really menacing
looking a killer clown and then shoots shoots them and then they turn into the you know the
cocoon they've been cocooned another one is that they get chocolates or something like that oh
clown shows up and uh one of the clowns has a little puppet of a clown holding a gun.
So it's like very funny.
And the lady opens the door and she's like, oh, this is so sweet.
And turns to her husband like, did you do this for me?
Like that's a normal thing people do.
Did you get me clowns?
And before she knows it, she's turned into another one of those uh yeah cocoon things you know so
they're out here zapping everybody you know truly hide your eyes hide your kids they turn in
everybody into cotton candy um so then uh yeah so then they go talk to dave right and uh they're
explaining everything dave doesn't believe them at first but uh i think he like agrees to go with
them to check it out whereas the top cop is like this is bullshit i'm not wasting my time he says
go ahead dave they can make you look like a dummy they're not gonna let make me look like a dummy
and the way he looks smart the way that he said it really reminded me of detective crash more and i
think you should leave do you remember that line where he's like they might kill you but there's no fucking way they're killing me it's a specific reference only for
anyone who's seen i think you should leave but he has those vibes yes very that very that very that
they go back but here's the thing all the cars are are gone they've been abandoned. I mean, there's cars there, but no one's in them.
The circus tent,
aka their spaceship, gone.
No.
So David's like,
what's the meaning of this?
This is suspicious.
But instead they go,
so he arrests Mike Tobacco
and on their way there.
Again, I don't like you. You're under arrest.
Exactly. Very that. Very cop logic, you know.
And so they look at one of the trunks and they open the door
and there's a lot of pink stuff in the car.
It's looking like a lot of cotton candy, a.k.a. spider webs.
But in the spider webs webs we see red glasses from one of our uh teenagers from
earlier on the movie who was drinking the beer drinker the beer drinker you know and and so
dave is a little suspish he's like wait what's the meaning of this and mike tobacco's like see
i'm not lying i'm this is really. There are killer clowns from outer space.
And Dave is like, yeah, still no.
So, you know, he's taken him back to the police station.
So while that's happening again, killer clowns are causing havoc.
There is a bunch of people waiting outside and there's a clown that's just there and he's doing finger puppetry, you know, and the people are impressed.
They're like, oh, wow, a bunny rabbit.
And it's like very, you know, very fun.
And then before you know it,
he does a shadow puppet of a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
of a dinosaur that eats them up
in Once Upon a Time in the trailer.
So, you know, that's an iconic moment in the movie.
Man, they can do all kinds of magic.
There's so much magic.
Yes, yes.
I think they're not really, you know, clowns aren't really known for shadow puppets.
At least I don't think so.
But these clowns do.
And their shadows come to life and swallow groups of people whole.
Okay.
Amazing.
There's another collection of bad boys with bikes in an
alleyway and a little clown
shows up in a you know a little
clown tricycle
and these guys
are just ragging on that little clown
they're just like oh my god are you kidding me
and then this big burly
man pushes through he's like
goes to the little clown and he's like
can I ride this cycle and then the
clown goes no which is funny it's like okay and he's like well can i at least press the horn
and then the clown says yes because okay so but instead of honking the horn he smashes the tricycle like a true monster and so uh the little clown gets really mad and then
jumps out of frame jumps back in frame and is holding boxing gloves and it's trying to fight
this big big biker man and then everyone's laughing everyone's like ha ha ha ha this
clown what is he going to do and that's where the infamous line what are you going to do knock my block off and then of course
the clown punches the man and his head falls clean off his body and lands in the trash a decapitated
human head and then all the bikers are freaked out because like what the fuck you know shit just got
real shit just got real these clowns mean business got real. So at this point in the movie, the clowns are truly wrecking havoc, just like truly destroying this town.
So it sort of feels like they're everywhere.
And I'm wondering, the cops are nowhere.
Are they just in the station just hanging out?
The phones are literally ringing off the hook at the station.
And the top cop is just like these damn kids.
He won't answer a single phone in the station.
Even if it is because of a prank.
Even if it is because of a prank.
If someone gets decapitated, you got to go check that out.
Yeah.
Not not top cop.
Not top cop.
Top cop, again, hates teenagers and is convinced that teenagers are responsible for all of these pranks.
All of these, like, countless amounts
of phone calls, which I think, you know, you gotta give it up
for the teens if that is a prank.
That would be a historic prank.
A well-organized prank.
Destroy the entire town.
Exactly.
So, you know, earlier on, you know,
we saw the popcorn being thrown at
our two leads.
I think Debbie.
They dropped Debbie off at home at one point because Mike and Dave go to check out the site by themselves.
And they're like, Debbie, you stay home.
And so she goes home and like takes a shower.
They're like, lock all the doors.
Don't let anybody in.
But, you know, she's got a couple of little pieces of popcorn on her.
Oh, no. doors don't let anybody in but yeah she's got a couple little pieces of popcorn on her but then while she's taking a shower which is a classic staple thing from the 1980s horror canon you know you got to take a shower in these movies um and so suddenly you know out come these
like clown larva worms oh gross come out of these popcorn kernels and you know they're wreaking havoc
poor Debbie's terrified and scared
you know they have sharp little teeth
gnawing at her
you know what I mean
oh and the other detail is that every clown
whether it's a larva or a full blown adult
have these big red
noses that's going to come into play later on
they all have noses they all have noses that's going to come into play later on. They all have noses.
They all have noses.
Yeah, so
then we see
Dave and Mike
after they see the group of
people get eaten by the shadow
puppet dinosaur, they're like
driving back to the station to go get
help because Top Cop's not
taking them seriously. They like call it in and he's like, no, not calling back up for you like i know this is the biggest prank in the world
and i'm not falling for it and so as they're like driving back to the station they see
the terenzi brothers again right the ice cream duo in the ice cream truck and
mike is friends with them and is like stop stop
I need to like get out and talk to them
and warn them about what's
going on and so then
they split up Dave is like okay I'm gonna go
back to the station and Mike
goes with the Terenzi brothers
who are like not taking it
seriously no no no no because it's
like wait what do you mean killer clowns
from outer space?
But they don't realize that's the name of the movie.
So, yeah, the twin, the brothers are, you know, making announcements like, oh, everyone hide.
Like these clowns are coming out, but they're not taking it seriously.
Dave shows up to the police station to find Top Cop sort of just there.
And then there's a clown.
He's sitting on the lap of a clown.
He's sitting on his lap?
He's sitting on his lap.
And it's very much a ventriloquist dummy vibe where the dead Top Cop is, you know,
there's like little slits of blood.
And he is, yeah, he's...
So then the clown starts attacking Dave Dave
ends up shooting
the clown on the nose
which makes the clown sort of
freak out and then it explodes
so they're like
aim for the nose that's how we
get rid of these clowns you gotta
hit him in the nose
wait Sammy have we gotten
to the part that you thought
was really scary yet or no is it coming it's the ventriloquist part i was gonna say that's really
gnarly it's because okay it's ew it's so gross it's because afterwards he like is making the cop
talk and it says don't worry dave we just want to kill you or something like that like it's a slow scene and then and then the clown
pulls his hand out of presumably the cop's asshole and whole body for like back i don't know like
however he was puppeteering him the clown pulls out his hand and then it's like covered in blood
and he just like shakes it off and it's like slap ew it's so gross
oh my god
and then the cop like collapses on the ground
and it's just I just was like oh my
god his whole arm was inside
of that man
ew that's really nasty
that man was a husk now
yeah
it's not top cop anymore
no more top cop
no more top cop yes and no more
that clown that clown is is dead it's okay it got it got killed so then and now we know how to kill
him we know how to kill him exactly they go back to debbie and and the clowns have grown up grown
up have stopped being larvae and they're like little clowns now. And they're sort of attacking her.
They save her.
Oh, they don't save her.
No, because they get her.
Trap her, right?
Yep.
The clowns get her.
They trap her.
The cocooner?
It's like a balloon this time.
It's like a yellow balloon that they zap her into.
It's a little different.
Uh-huh.
And they carry her off. And at this point, Mike has convinced the brothers to take him to Debbie's to go help her.
But they're not in time.
But they see her in the balloon.
And so they know what's up.
And there's a part that's very funny where the way that Mike is able to convince the brothers to take him to Debbie's house is because they're like, what? We're not doing that.
Like, no, we got ice cream to sell. We haven't sold any
ice cream tonight.
Oh, that's a big thing for them. It's like they want to sell
ice cream. We need to sell our ice cream.
It's our passion!
And then they're like, well, are there any
girls? Does Debbie have any roommates?
Because that's their other passion. Are they hungry? Do they have a sweet tooth?
Like, what's going on with them? That's what they say.
He says, yeah, there's two. She has two hot roommates with big boobs and they love ice cream. Do they have a sweet tooth? Like, what's going on with them? That's what they say. He says, yeah, there's two.
She has two hot roommates with big boobs
and they love ice cream.
And they're like, what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Let's go.
They were tailor-made for you, dude.
The only thing bigger than their tits
is their appetite for sweet treats.
It's so good.
So then they follow them to the mute the local amusement park which is where
the spaceship is now because i guess the middle of nowhere was not good enough for these aliens
so they go to the amusement park they're like okay this feels more at home uh so then they go in
and um yeah then then they're they're inside the actual spaceship slash circus tent of the killer clowns from outer space but um through
this uh adventure the twins fall through a ball pit uh they fall in a ball pit um and then they
look i need to find a picture of this and show you this is my favorite part of the entire movie
they find two female clowns and it is very funny because they look up and it's like two lady clowns
and they're like do you like ice cream or something like that right are you debbie's
roommates oh yes yes yes yes wait uh i'm going to find this because it is very it's worth watching
it's so funny also just side note ball pits are very scary i feel like as a child i was
very scared very scared there's a jackass skit where there's a snake uh like a boa constrictor
in a ball pit that they did in real life.
And it always stressed me out the most.
No way.
Yeah.
And they got, if you ever, you should honestly watch that, Jack.
It's really scary.
Actually, maybe don't.
But they get bit real crazy by this like enormous snake like a bunch of times.
It's Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville, I think.
It's so crazy.
Oh my God.
But that snake was fucking pissed off
yeah what the fuck so ball pits are scary why do people do why do people like doing that i never
liked ball pits ever children like them i guess but i feel like i never did as a kid i was always
convinced i was gonna because you know quicksand when you're a kid is such a thing it's like what's
the difference between quicksand and a ball pit like i'm gonna die in that ball pit for sure true yeah i think maybe that's part
of the fun is like oh i'm like i'm not swimming but i'm not on land like a little bit of both
maybe maybe i don't know okay so i found the
found the i found a gif. How do I show it to you?
What do you mean?
The boobs!
They grow up!
The boobs!
They get bigger!
Oh my god.
That is so funny. Are you Debbie's roommates?
Yeah!
To be in a ball pit and to get up and see these two clowns and then to respond.
I mean, the twins are, the brothers are unwell.
They're unwell.
They're unwell.
To assume that that's Debbie's roommates.
But I guess they were into them, I guess.
I don't know.
They were into their boobs.
Huge, huge boobs.
They were into them.
Check the boxes.
Yeah, absolutely. Are they hot? Do they like ice huge boobs. They check the boxes. Mm-hmm.
Yeah, absolutely.
Are they hot?
Do they like ice cream?
Check, check.
Amazing.
Yeah, so then they find the room, the big room, where all of the sort of cunt candy bodies are.
And very Invasion of the Body Snatcher style.
They're just like, oh my gosh, are these people?
So then one of the clowns walks in. They all hide. And one of the clownser style they're just like oh my gosh are these people so then one of the clowns walks in they all hide and uh one of the clown takes a fun straw you know one of these
crazy straw puts it in a crazy straw that's what they're called thank you sammy they put a sort of
stabs stabs one of the cotton candy bulbs and then drinks their blood from the crazy straw.
Yeah, they're like liquefied inside, but the shot is so
funny because this straw is the craziest
crazy straw you've ever seen.
It's like, probably if you straightened
it, it would be 10 feet long.
It's really ridiculous.
And the shot just pans up
slowly along the whole. It's a really long
shot because it takes the liquid so
long to get to his lips the blood takes forever to get there god it's so good it's great it's
an endurance shot absolutely you're like wow sammy you could have taken a nap woken up and still
being the same yeah good nap portion of the movie. Absolutely.
So at that point, they're freaking out and then they get caught.
All of these clowns show up
and it looks like, oh, it's the end of our heroes.
They've rescued Debbie too.
They've got her out of her balloon.
They pop the balloon and she's totally fine.
She's not liquefied in any way.
So then the
ice cream truck shows up and the brothers
are here to distract the clowns so while they're trying to get away from this from the circus this
is where we see the big clownzilla right yes yes a big mama clown yes yes yes yes yes very aliens it's very aliens yes very very uh xenomorph queen
so it starts out as a marionette puppy that then gets bigger and bigger and bigger and it is the
coolest animatronic i think it's an animatronic i don't know it might be a person in a costume
but it is the coolest looking clown ever.
It looks like a literal monster, but also a clown.
And it is gigantic, it's huge.
So they're trying to escape.
Yeah, they're trying to escape from the Clownzilla.
The poor ice cream truck is completely destroyed.
It explodes. It explodes, destroyed it explodes with the brothers inside
so you're like oh no
yes yes yes
but this is where the clowns
are like oh we've been found out
it's time to go
I think the spaceship sort of
does this like top sort of spin
yeah yeah yeah
it looks really cool um like
it's a liftoff it's starting to their whole deal is like we'll just land get as many people anywhere
and then be like yeah yeah for food you know they need the food and the big clown came out and was
basically like we gotta go guys is that what happened what was the big deal the big clown
was there to kill like to to kill the trespassers.
Oh, to kill everyone.
Oh, okay, okay, got it.
So then there's a scene between Dave, the cop, and the clown.
The clown grabs the cop.
It looks like, oh, this is the end of our hero, Dave.
And I believe Dave grabs his badge, throws it,
and it hits Clownzilla on the nose,
thereby destroying our Clownzilla.
That's all it took.
That's all it took.
You just gotta pop that nose, pop that nose, that's it.
And not only does it kill Clownzilla,
but it also destroys the spaceship in one fell swoop
you know and so you know they've saved the day
but they're you know mourning
the loss of the brothers but
it turns out they're fine
because they hid in the freezer of the ice cream
and they were
safe
they were saved by ice cream
not so stupid after all
they also are covered in
kisses, kiss marks.
Yes!
Debbie's roommates!
They have
clearly hooked up with
the two clowns. It's very funny.
Honestly, not a bad
night for the Terenzi brothers.
No, honestly, I would say a complete
win. Yeah, they had a great night. Yeah, they had a great night.
Yeah, they had a great night. Their whole goal was to
find girls that love ice
cream. They did it.
And would sleep with them and they
found it. They found it. They found
aliens that they could hook up
with. So it was a win for them.
You know, there's fireworks
after the destruction of the spaceship
and the end
happy ending happy it's a happy ending it's a happy ending yes um and apparently there's been
a sequel in the works since 1988 oh my god and it's i guess been real tough to get off the ground
but there's like an article from 2018
where they're like still trying to make it happen.
Really?
Yeah, if anyone has any info
on the Killer Clowns from Outer Space 2022 sequel,
let us know.
Wild that they haven't tried to make it.
It's such a cult classic.
I know.
People would love it.
It feels like a slam dunk.
It feels like a slam dunk to me
i would honestly love to see a 2022 version of this people would probably really like it now
it would be fun for y'all question for y'all what's the take what's the take of the remake
are we doing a sort of slapstick e version of it like, you know, paying homage to the silly, campy
part of it? Or are we like
really trying to do scary
Killer Clowns from Outer Space?
Well, as someone who doesn't
like scary movies, I personally
feel like one that's
on the funnier side
would be more
profitable. I mean,
I feel like this movie,
if it took itself too seriously,
would lose a lot of its charm
and a lot of what makes people like it a lot.
I think you dial both sides up.
I think you keep it really slapstick
and bright-colored and funny,
but I think you make the violence truly horrifying.
I think you show a full de decapitation i think you show the
ventriloquist person i think you like see the liquefaction i think you make it like
gorier so gory like fucking gnarly right also like it's clowns look at emily this this taste
for blood i wouldn't like it i just think that's what you do. Emily's secretly bloodthirsty. She doesn't want us to know, but she's secretly
bloodthirsty. I'm secretly bloodthirsty.
That's why I do the podcast.
Also, the tagline
for this movie, I just gotta call it out
because we talked about Alien, which
the tagline in Alien is, in space
no one can hear you scream.
The tagline for this movie is, in space
no one can eat ice cream tagline for this movie is in space no one can eat ice cream
stop it stop it oh it's too good so they knew what they were doing they knew what they were
doing but it's true it's true space ice cream is just powder it's true it's not the same yeah
it's not the same it's not the same do you remember when it had a really big moment though
in our childhood people were like space ice cream it's kind of like all space foods it was like give me
everything's jace themed had a huge moment and then it died out i mean it died out
yeah because it's actually gross no this is just dust yeah yeah yeah novelty wore off quick
exactly pretty quick yeah it was bad um we finally learned about this freaking
movie i can't believe it a real milestone i think yeah i've been excited to hear to see this one for
a while because yeah i hadn't seen it i'm so happy that i have now it's so fun i mean listen what's
sammy what's your what was your take on this movie i mean i is i'd say that it's kind of like horror. Yeah. So we we haven't covered a lot of movies like this.
I feel like 80s horror is a big gap in our what we've like talked about.
We've done a couple, but it's I think partially because they're not as scary.
Maybe we cover them less because I just think, yeah, like probably most people could handle this movie like it's very fun
and funny and like
I forget that that
is that that is a
subgenre of horror and so it was
like a nice little reminder like oh yeah
there's like this whole part of
horror that's like very fun and silly
and absolutely
yeah I think also
for I think like there's why I love 80s horror so much is yeah I think also for I think like there's
why I love 80s horror
so much is because I think
the self-awareness is really
cool and to me there
is an there's an idea of like
a punk rockness of
yeah killer clowns from outer space feels
like a kind of a fun punk rock
take on the horror
trope I think return of the Living Dead is also that.
And there.
Yes, it's like very silly.
The plot of it is so silly.
Right.
But again, like you were saying, there are moments where you're just like, whoa, you
know, like the ventriloquist part is would actually be terrifying.
And by seeing these clowns, there's something about this uncanny valley
of these like clown puppets that are so impressive and so cool and like a little unsettling yeah but
that's why well that's also that's part of it too right is like the fact that they literally made
clowns like they're all practical effects and so it's like a physical thing that exists in the
world if they remade it they would need to do practical clowns again they couldn't be like weird cgi clowns yeah no we don't
want to see no cgi clowns up in here no no thank you no no no thank you no thank you but yeah
overall it made me want to watch more 80s horror i that was like my biggest takeaway was like oh
right i like forget that i haven't seen a lot of these classic
80s horror movies so
Oscar what do you think what what else needs to be on
our list if we're going down that road
have to watch
return of the living
dead okay okay
must okay
okay
we're adding it to the list
a perfect I think it's the perfect
balance between funny and scary
it is like 50-50
I think Killer Clowns is like leans
closer to the funny it's probably like
I would say 80-20
funny scary Return of the Living
Dead is 50-50
like actually it's a zombie
movie so
and the effects are incredible.
But it's also very funny, too.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to watch it.
That sounds perfect.
I'll tell you.
I fully recommend Return of the Living Dead.
It's so good.
What a fun world to enter into.
Well, here we go.
We're doing it.
Next journey for you, Sammy.
Yeah, Oscar, you've opened up a whole
new world for us thank you oh my gosh how fun how exciting yeah that's good thank you for being here

You can follow that podcast

and ITDV Podcast on Twitter.
It's very fun.
I also host a music video podcast
called Podcast Kill the Video Star
that I host with my dearest friend, Mano Agapian.
And we are on a journey to find
the definitive top 100 music videos of all time.
And the way that it works is every week I nominate a music video, Mano nominates a music video.
And then we talk about a music video that's in the zeitgeist or a guest comes in and nominates their favorite music video.
And people on Instagram vote for their favorite.
The person with the video with the most votes gets to move on to the top 100 music videos list.
So it is very democratic.
And some music videos, I can't believe, got votes.
But that's the magic of the podcast.
But you can follow us on Instagram at PodcastKillTheVideoStar.
And you can follow me at OzzyMo on Instagram and Twitter, O-Z-Z-Y-M-O, to find out what I'm working on.

so much for having me this is so great should we do our clown voice what do these clowns sound like
help help me out, they're like
I don't know, Oscar, can we hear your
impression of the clown? Yeah, it's actually
quite adorable. They're like
it's like
pizza. Like two
different interpretations of that
voice. That one sort of sounded like Minions, which is what I was imagining.
Yeah, I guess it is kind of similar to Minions.
Like Miniony?
Yeah, you're right.
Yes.
Where the Minions go like...
Actually...
It's like Minions.
Wow.
Who's to say that Minions are a part of the killer clown family same universe same yeah
wow yeah maybe that's how we get the sequel going because people love minions that's the trick so
you just sort of a crossover situation it's the birth of the minions they're actually aliens from
the killer clown planet perfect i love it i love it well great okay so here we go and I'm gonna say
things in that voice is
that was so good
