Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna talk about a little bit of, you know, some of the hits and then get into our specific movie.

Russell Crowe doing an
Starting point is 00:01:25 italian accent gorgeous gorgeous um and if that sounds fun to you and why the heck wouldn't it also a slight update i think i do know what i'm going to be dressing up as huge news and it's pretty good if i can it's very good if i can figure out how to do it you're going to because i need i need you to at this point you guys are gonna want to see it to believe it i can't even imagine what that's gonna look like but i'm desperate to see it in real life. Yeah. So you can get tickets at moment.co slash TSDW. And the video replay will be good for a week, I believe. So if you can't make it at that exact time, you can still get tickets and you can watch it later. On Halloween, perhaps.

On Halloween perhaps Whatever your spooky little heart desires Absolutely It's all in your hands And the Pope's Exorcist is on Netflix If you want to watch it beforehand Oh my gosh, easy peasy I can't wait And other than that
Starting point is 00:02:37 Did anything scary happen to us this week? Um Yes Tell us Well first I got another tattoo which was fun it was not scary did it hurt i got it um no i was gonna say this isn't my scary thing but i just feel the need to let everybody know this is my first hand poke tattoo which means he just did it by hand with little needle no tattoo machine what's that called tattoo guntoo gun. Scary. No tattoo gun. Uh, just a guy with a needle, which I assumed meant it would hurt a lot more and it super doesn't. It's like, I mean, I think
Starting point is 00:03:13 like all tattoos, it depends on how heavy handed the person is and what part of your body you get it. But, um, I couldn't believe how chill it was. It took a lot longer, but Oh my God. It was like, as soon as he started, I was, I felt like he was joking like i was like this isn't this isn't you're not doing a real tattoo this you're just like poking me and not breaking the surface like with a little pen like there's nothing you're drawing anyway so highly recommend giving a given a hand poke tattoo a try if you're in if you're in the la area check out puppy studio they've got some great artists yarik did mine and he rules anyway i love your tattoo i think it's perfect i really love it so much i think it's perfect it makes me very happy i love getting tattoos god i love it um but okay so this week i've really been trying to be better about going to exercise during the week. And
Starting point is 00:04:07 it's really fucking hard with work and I'm tired and it's hard and it's hard to make it to a class because I don't leave work until anyway, it's just hard. You get it. You get it. Yes. But I've been like once a week, I'm going to like, I will, I will absolutely make sure I leave work in time and I will get to a class once a week. And've been going to my aerial yoga class which I love once a week they have one at 6 45 which if I leave right at six and I've got a change of clothes I can go straight there and I can make it to class this week I couldn't make it to the yoga one and they had one on Thursday that was aerial dance and I was like oh well that's fun like I like aerial yoga I like Dance that sounds hard
Starting point is 00:04:47 Like let's just give it a try I also have like A completely unfounded Confidence in myself when it comes to physical activities Emily you are good at dancing And you did dance for a long time I was a dancer for a while Okay but you guys this was the worst thing I've ever done
Starting point is 00:05:04 Oh no cause you're like Caught up in the rope was an answer for a while yes okay but you guys this was the worst thing i've ever done no because you're like caught up in the rope okay it's not i mean yes there's that there's that you're like getting fucking rug burns basically from this goddamn hammock which i normally love the hammock i love the hammock in a yoga context the best way i can describe what this felt like was being spun on a tire swing while hanging upside down for an hour. I was so sick. I truly got immediately so ill, like dizzy, nauseous, nauseous, felt hungover, like, like awful.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Because you're spinning. like the majority of the dancing is spinning and you're upside down so all the blood is rushing to your head and you're spinning super fast and you're like contorting it's i i truly was like this should be illegal this should be a crime nobody should be allowed to do this what if all of you just started throwing up i truly was worried I was going to throw up Well and here's the thing all of us it was just me And one other woman there were only two of us there Because everybody else was smart enough to not fucking do this
Starting point is 00:06:12 So then you have to stay So you have to stay Yeah you can't leave and there's like extra attention on you In any other context I would have And I would have been like I'm sorry I have to go I would have just like slipped out but I couldn't But what I did do is I stopped i stood there was like one and i am really hyper perfectionist competitive when it comes to like workout spaces if if there are eyes on me
Starting point is 00:06:36 i'm like well i can do it i'm really strong well that's part of why like we're working out in the classes it's like motivates you it motivates you it pushes you i want to be the little star student and truly and i love this teacher she does my yoga classes and we were getting close to the end she's like okay you want to try one more time and i was like no i'm not doing it i'm not i'm not doing it anymore and i just like didn't but i had to still like do the cool down and wait out the end of class and i was truly like i felt so sick i came home i felt sick all night i scarfed down some pasta and got into bed i was like i'm sorry joel my night is over i am sick oh no aerial dance is a no awful i was also just so pissed i was like the one time i actually like make it to a class i tried it has been good for me i was like so proud of myself and i hated it it was the worst it only made me feel sick and you're like this
Starting point is 00:07:29 is gonna keep me from going in the future because I'm gonna remember this never go again oh I will never go again it's gonna take me a while to get back up on the hammock to be completely honest that's what I mean it's like going in general you're gonna be like I don't want to go I'm not happy about it I don't understand why anybody does it yeah that does not sound fun at all I'm not happy about it. I don't understand why anybody does it. Yeah, that does not sound fun at all I'm, sorry that that happened to you. Thank you so much. It was terrible. It was true. I couldn't I mean, I just couldn't believe I couldn't believe what that was never again. Never again to really never again. Nobody do it Nobody do it God, oh, I would never I would never even try about it. I would never sign up to do that in a
Starting point is 00:08:06 million years. I know I would much smarter than me break my arm. Like the second nine months pregnant, not even, not even then just sort of spin her around and see what happens. No. Oh, but I can't, I have something to tell you guys, but I don't know whether it's going to translate and like be funny or not. Okay. Okay. I love that. This might just be a little section of some information. It's like literally not even information, but I need, and it's so boring, but I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:37 So many caveats. Shut the fuck up, Henley. Okay. So I'm imminently giving birth and I'm having weird dreams. I don't usually remember my dreams at all, at all. Even like through this whole pregnancy. No, usually you have more, your dream life I think can usually become more vibrant when you're pregnant. That didn't happen for me. I have had essentially. I really like that sentence.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Your dream life can become more vibrant. It's beautiful. It's really nice. It's absolutely beautiful. Wow. Thank you. That has not been That was really nice. That was absolutely beautiful. Wow, thank you. That has not been the case for me. But last night, my dreams were popping off. And one of them, I literally woke up in the middle of the night and remembered my dream and was laughing to myself. And again, maybe this won't translate, but then I tried to tell Tim and my mom,
Starting point is 00:09:21 as my mom was visiting, about the dream. And I started laughing so hard. I was crying and like almost was like fully crying and tears. Cause I thought it was so funny. Okay. So I'm going to tell you what it is. It's sorry. It's not. Okay. So the dream is I'm watching. okay okay okay i can do this i'm watching you're gonna have to cut all of this out okay no chance no freaking way i'm watching danielle heim be interviewed by Barbara Walters. And it's like a very serious interview. This is just the dream. I'm just watching her being interviewed by Barbara Walters.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And Barbara Walters asked her like what she's been up to classic interview question you seriously are gonna have to cut this out because I'm losing my fucking mind you guys this is what happened with Tim and my mom and i was like there's no way it'll happen again there's no way i'll laugh there is no way there's literally no way i'm gonna do this again okay all that happens is she says that i don't think i can do it i don't think i can do it oh my god i'm on the edge of my seat. I need to hear what has Danielle Haim been up to?
Starting point is 00:11:09 I'm just going to call her Danielle Ham. This is like, no, it's, it's so stupid. She says that she's been baking sheet cakes. Because she just wants to, she's been baking sheet cakes. She's baked 9,000 sheet cakes. Oh my God. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Why? Did you say why? Because when she has a daughter, she wants to bake sheet cakes with her. So she really wants to be prepared and she wants to be able to do it really well. And so she's been baking sheet cakes nonstop and she's baked 9,000 of them. And I woke up from this dream and I was like, what the fuck was that? Like, what was that?
Starting point is 00:12:01 Like, I never dream. And that's the dream I get. That's your daughter already having consciousness and being like i like cake tell mommy's brain make me cake i don't know why i find it so funny too i think it's because it's the idea of me watching daniel heim be interviewed by barbara walters is also so weird that's a very interesting dream that's very funny i feel like there's not usually a lot of dialogue in my dreams. I'll be honest with you guys.
Starting point is 00:12:28 To be able to pull specific lines of questioning and answers. Oh, there was more. There was way more, but I'm not going to tell you. You were watching a full interview. Oh, I watched a full interview, but that's the only part I'm going to relay here because it's going to be too hard for me to get into. Did it make you want to bake a sheet cake? No, but I thought it was interesting that she's baked 9000 of them to prepare. 9000 is a lot.
Starting point is 00:12:52 She's preparing. I feel like I've told you guys before, but you remember I've I've woken up laughing to a dream and it was it was a cat dancing on its hind legs. So that's kind of where my brain Goes And I woke up laughing so hard It's so funny Way more fun And waking up laughing is really funny It's a fun experience
Starting point is 00:13:15 Much better than waking up screaming Or crying I've woken up crying before Yeah, me too I've woken up from having a really sad dream And been crying I highly recommendoken up crying before. Oh yeah, me too. Yeah. Yeah. I've woken up from like having a really sad dream and like been crying. I highly recommend waking up laughing. I feel like I'm fully losing my mind now. You might be.
Starting point is 00:13:32 And I don't know. I have no control over it. There's nothing to be done. Yeah. There's nothing to be done. Keep us, keep us posted. Yeah, by the time this freaking episode comes out, who knows? Like little pig face, wig face out Who knows Little pig face wig face
Starting point is 00:13:46 Face Pig face wig face Might be out Her face might be out in the world It might be Eating some sheet cake She also might take a long time because Silas was two weeks late And I feel like it's like
Starting point is 00:14:01 Once again Maybe right at our show That that would be two weeks. Our show is two weeks after your due date. And so maybe if you tune in, you'll see Henley go into labor. Oh, my God. You're right. What if that happened? My water broke.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Great for the pod. You guys named my child. You get to see my water break. What a parasocial relationship. Who cares about privacy? You got to see me have a mental breakdown about Daniel Haim being interviewed by Barbara Walters in my dream, my subconscious. They've seen everything. They've seen everything.
Starting point is 00:14:35 They've seen it all. They've seen it all. Well, mine is also sleep related and you guys know that I brag a lot about not being scared after watching a scary movie and just being able to go straight to sleep. Yeah. And I think part of that is because I'm a pretty good sleeper in general. Again, sorry to brag. I know some of us here on the podcast are not great sleepers and I really feel bad for that. Jimmy, such an asshole. But I have started a new medication that is giving me just like a slightly harder time falling asleep and not much, but it takes me like an extra 45 minutes of laying there. I guess that's.
Starting point is 00:15:25 That's a long time. That's a lot. But like sitting and laying in bed, I'll read until I'm like so tired. And I think the second I put the book down, I'm going to be asleep. And then it's like, nope, you're not. Yep. Yep. And while I'm awake in bed, your mind does wander to some scary places occasionally.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And I told you guys when we covered this movie, but in Gerald's game, slight spoiler for Gerald's game, there is a big man in the corner of the room a lot of the time. And now that's like my go-to scary thought when I'm like in a, in a scary headspace trying to fall asleep. I'll be like, there's a man in the corner of my room,
Starting point is 00:16:04 but pro tip I've i've i've conquered it and i have advice oh my god i switched to picturing it as carl havoc from i think you should leave and you just change that man in the corner of the room to someone you make it a funny man very funny and silly if carl havoc were standing in the corner of the room to someone that you find very funny and silly. If Carl Havoc were standing in the corner of your room, that would be so funny. Exactly. And then you're laughing and then you're waking up laughing and you're having a good time. This is really empowering, Sammy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:36 So just think of someone that is brings a smile to your face, a silly looking person, someone with way too much shit on him, if it's Carl Havoc. And yeah, it really, really does the trick. I love that. You're mastering your mind. You're in control. You're in control of your, of your thoughts. it's very impressive powerful yeah yeah thank you so much and i just had to share that tip with anyone who might have any it's a great tip gerald's game hauntings happening that's the carl havoc haunting now easy done we got no problems with the havoc haunting a havoc haunting sign me up Easy, done, fixed We got no problems with a Havoc haunting A Havoc haunting? Sign me up
Starting point is 00:17:26 Sign me up Sign me right up But okay, should we get into this week's movie? We should And some 80s horror This week we're going to be recapping Re-Animator Came out in 1985 Directed by Stuart Gordon
Starting point is 00:17:43 Written by Stuart Gordon, Dennis Paoli and William Norris based on the story by H.P. Lovecraft starring Jeffrey Combs Bruce Abbott Barbara Crampton Robert Samson and David Gale and it is streaming on Shudder.com wow Henley you were saying you think 80s 80s horror is like fun well when I think of 80s horror, I think of like the inception of all the sequels and date night slasher films. Yes. But I know nothing about Re-Animator. I don't know anything.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I know nothing about Re-Animator. I don't know anything about this one. I just, I don't know if it's fun or not. Is it a fun one? Well, isn't The Fly in the 80s? Certainly there are films that were not fun that were made in the 80s so i yeah the fly is 86 i feel like this is a a vulnerable thing to admit 80s horror is my least favorite of the of the horror decades yeah no that makes sense because they're also like following the same, they're
Starting point is 00:18:46 really following the same like patterns probably. Yes. And of course there are exceptions and there are some eighties movies, eighties horror movies that I really love. Yes. The fly hell raisers, obviously also eighties were video drone, the evil dead, the thing, the shining. There's some, there's some great ones. Don't get me wrong. But when I Dead, The Thing, The Shining. There's some great ones. Don't get me wrong. But when I'm, you know, choosing a random horror movie to watch, I'm very rarely going 80s. When I think 80s, I think of like campy, kind of silly, gory, but very unrealistic gore.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Yeah. I think the end, yeah they they are in my mind as fun and i think it's because i like to feel bad and sad and cry that i like don't gravitate towards that they're too fun for me yeah they are they're they're they're not trying to make you feel depressed and awful except once again the fucking fly. And also, they're not deep. There's nothing complicated. Right. It's killer clowns from outer space, and that's all you gotta know. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yeah. It's like that sort of thing. And it's not like grody, like the 70s horror, like Texas Chainsaw. And like, yeah, it's splashier. That said, whenever I do watch an 80s horror Movie I have a good time I'm just not You don't always want to have a good time They're just not my first choice
Starting point is 00:20:14 So how'd you choose this one? I've never even heard of it Well because I've seen it I saw Reanimator in college And It in my mind seems like An encapsulation of an 80s horror movie and if I were to have to like name traditional 80s horror movies that like that define the decade I guess it would like come to my come to mind as someone who doesn't watch very many of them so
Starting point is 00:20:42 you know take that with a grain of salt but But I remembered it being really fun and silly. And then in rewatching it, there's some pretty upsetting stuff in here. Oh, man. All right. It's mostly fun with some tough stuff. It's tough stuff. Okay. But yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:03 So Re-Animator has a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Holy shit. 73 on Metacritic, 7.2 on IMDb. Okay. Budget was $900,000. It made $2 million. Okay. Some trivia for us.
Starting point is 00:21:19 The special effects department went through 24 gallons of fake blood during the shoot. effects department went through 24 gallons of fake blood during the shoot uh the head of the department said that that was the bloodiest film he'd ever worked on in the past he'd never used more than two gallons of blood on a film and i just gotta remind us all 2013 evil dead used 70 000 gallons of blood so crazy i can't even wrap my head around that 70,000 So this guy's thinking 24 Oh my god 24 Try 10,000-ing that It's more than that
Starting point is 00:21:56 30,000-ing that Wait That's not right Don't make me do the math Don't do the math. It's a lot more. It's just a lot more. You get it.
Starting point is 00:22:09 And the first cut of Re-Animator was two and a half hours long. And the released version is 87 minutes. I just love that. We got it down to 87. Congratulations, folks. There are a few scenes that are a little like, hmm, what? How did this happen? And I love that that they're just like who cares you know there's like a plot line that got cut out but i mean i'll talk about it when we get to it but it's like makes a couple things not make sense
Starting point is 00:22:36 i just think it's great that they were like yeah fuck it like they don't care yeah it'll be fine and i did figure it out and it's fine there you go this one i just wrote down because it's really confusing to me i have a lot of follow-up questions and no follow-up answers so i just want you guys to be confused with me there is a scene early on in the film where one of the characters is giving a c CPR to and doing compressions on her chest. Oh, no. This says, The woman Dan is seen attempting to resuscitate
Starting point is 00:23:10 at the beginning of the film was a dildo enthusiast and was known to hide dildos with the fake corpses in the morgue set. Wait, what? And I assume this means the actress was like hiding. That was the character's backstory. I assume that means the actress. And I.
Starting point is 00:23:38 What a crazy vibe to bring to set. Like for people to find, like stumble upon a dildo. She thought that was fun. Like like little pranks. A little dildoo prank also dildo enthusiast is an interesting putting them on the corpses like she's putting them on the corpses she thought that was funny like to be funny she's like it says it's phrased that she was known to hide dildos with the fake corpses what which who's this actress i there she's not named oh oh just the late just like a literal like unnamed actress like basically background yes and the next piece of trivia is the actor that plays the the guy that was doing the cpr said
Starting point is 00:24:20 i hurt her a lot he says during his scene, performing chest compressions on an extra. I think I broke three of her ribs. The scene was originally much longer. Like, what is going on with this extra? Wait, wait, wait. He's, I, wait, he, he thinks that he broke three of her ribs. Yes, the dildo lady. This is making any sense.
Starting point is 00:24:48 None of it makes sense. None of this tracks. Also, ow. Also, you got to stop filming if you're breaking someone's ribs. That doesn't sound like actor's rights. Also, like, if she's being Resuscitated Her character is unconscious Right and how do you remain unconscious
Starting point is 00:25:10 While someone breaks your ribs I mean Are all these people just Completely cuckoo You know that question If you could invite three people to a Dinner party dildo lady that guy Dildo lady still dildo lady's shooting to the top of my list.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Dildo lady. Dildo lady's right at the top. Hey, first question. What's your name? Second question. What happened in this movie? Tell me everything. Where in my house did you hide the dildos?
Starting point is 00:25:39 And that's all I got. I don't know. Those just really stuck out for me as like I wanted to talk about them. And I'm glad that we did. So thank you for humoring me. That's really confusing. Yeah. And on that note, shall we take a peek at this trailer? I can't wait. Let's do it. Let's do it. Herbert West is at the top of his class in medical school. How can you teach such drivel? These people are here to learn and you're closing their minds before they even have a chance.
Starting point is 00:26:05 He's brilliant, but a little weird. I've broken the six to twelve minute barrier. I've conquered brain death. His experiments have always been unorthodox. It was dead. But lately they're getting out of hand. But lately they're getting out of hand. And he's just made a discovery that could wake up the dead. Herbert West is affected reanimation in dead animal tissue. Once you wake up the dead, you've got a real mess on your hands.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Herbert, you're insane! Now what happened? They had to kill him! He's dead? Herbert, you're insane! Now what happened? I had to kill him! He's dead? Not anymore. Herbert West brought a lot of dead people back to life. And not one of them showed any appreciation.
Starting point is 00:27:14 H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale of horror, Re-Animator. Mr. West. You'll never get credit for my discovery. Who's going to believe a talking head get a job in a side show? It will scare you to pieces. What? Wow. That was amazing.
Starting point is 00:27:40 That was the most jokes I've heard in a trailer in a while. Get a job in a sideshow. He brought lots of people back to life and no one even thanked him it's it is very funny but it has a lot of very nasty it looks nasty gore in it and fluids and 24 gallons of guts yeah exactly so i was a little more grossed out than I remember being the first time I saw it. It does look gross. That said, I think it's mostly still pretty fun and silly, but you guys can be the judge, I suppose. Yeah. I have a feeling it's going to be one of those that's really going to be unpleasant to hear about I was thinking that this could be one that's worse to hear than to see Though I didn't like seeing the parts that I saw
Starting point is 00:28:32 So, you know Yeah Time will tell Time will tell We're going to find out Yeah, no, this is, we can do this We can do this We can do this
Starting point is 00:28:44 Wow, we're just traveling through time. How very exciting. I can't wait. We're in the 80s now. Shall we? We shall. Let's do it. In the past few years, I have hit a point where I only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable.
Starting point is 00:28:59 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 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,
Starting point is 00:29:25 it's a great little rib tank. Classic. You can wear it every day. You can pair it with jeans. You can wear it out in the world, or you can wear it with this little boxer short that is so 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. But desperate times. However, desperate times know more because Skims has done it. You too can get on board with this. You can see just how cute and comfortable you can be, shop the Skims Soft Lounge Collection at skims.com. Now available in sizes extra, extra small through 4X. And if you haven't yet, be sure to let them
Starting point is 00:30:12 know that we sent you. After you place your order, select podcast in the survey and select too scary, didn't watch in the dropdown menu that follows. I used to love back to school shopping so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without. And that's
Starting point is 00:31:01 Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to go on walks every day and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts. And I know you guys listen to podcasts as well, so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe, but they come in other cool colors as well, like forest green and brush violet. But my favorite thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function. So 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery life. Really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk. You forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast.

Starting point is 00:33:29 Okay, we do unfortunately have to start with a trigger warning for sexual assault. Damn. I was worried about that from the trailer. Yeah, yeah. Kind of got a little glimpse of it. It's not a fun scene. glimpse of it it's not a fun scene and i was wondering i guess this was just you know obviously people were less upset about it in the 80s i guess but it feels like it's like treated as comedy in a way that i'm like i really don't like that this time this is not feeling good yeah yeah so
Starting point is 00:34:01 anyways whatever we'll get there uh we begin at the university of zurich institute of medicine and where there's uh some doctors and police shuffling down the hall looking stressed like it's this room this way we got to go this way and they're calling out for dr gruber we're hearing maybe some yells coming from dr gr Gruber's office. Something suspicious is happening in there. The door is locked. They're trying to break down the door, hearing him screaming. They finally get the door open and see Dr. Hans Gruber. Hans Gruber is the name of Alan Rickman in Die Hard.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah. This predates Die Hard. So that's confusing i thought it was interesting and dr gruber is his head is like all the blood is rushing to his head so his face is so red and the veins are bulging and his eyeballs explode out of his head and all this blood is just pouring out of his eyes and there's a gallon mouth what did you say there's a gallon well we should count them as we go through we see herbert west is his assistant medical medical assistant, who is holding him and so looks like the prime suspect for whatever is happening to him right now. And Dr. Gruber dies, his eyes exploding and, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:37 presumably other bad things happening internally has killed him. And one of the doctors is screaming at West saying, you killed him. And West says the dosage was too large. I didn't kill him. I gave him life. And then we get our title sequence, the title sequence. The theme song for this movie is essentially the psycho theme song it's very i think they like changed enough to avoid actual copyright but it's it's so funny to me that they were just like psycho theme songs pretty good yeah like let's not recreate the wheel here i mean this guy's kind of a psycho so yeah so that's a successful movie if that that's one of the most recognizable movie themes of all time let's just let's just use that in there it's very funny and it plays throughout it's like the whole theme of this movie and i
Starting point is 00:36:39 just love that they're like yeah we're just gonna use that good for them why not they reanimated it oh my god yes they did uh so now we come back we're in i think los angeles and we meet dan our main character he is a medical student at a hospital and he is doing chest compressions on an extra with i guess guess, three broken ribs. And she's doing a great job of being unconscious through all of this. Yes, she is. She did great. And I, at my dinner party, will tell her so.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Did you see any dildos in the frame? No, but I could go back and watch again. You never know what could slip in. You know, as we said earlier, they're playing a little fast and loose in the editing room of this one. So if you watch, keep an eye out. And it's clear that this patient has died. She is flatlining. And the other doctors are looking at Dan, who is continuing the chest compressions like he doesn't want to give up and they eventually have to pull him off and say dan it's she's dead there's nothing you can
Starting point is 00:37:52 do in fact you broke her ribs in fact yeah yeah we need you to stop we all need you to stop and so we're just getting a sense that Dan is really, really cares about his patients, you know, wants to save them. Didn't probably mean to break the three ribs. And he afterwards has to take the body down to the morgue. And we see in the morgue as he puts the body in there. The bodies are just like loose in there. I don't know. I don't have any real life experience of morgues.
Starting point is 00:38:30 And so everything I know is based on movies. But I feel like don't you have to put them in a fridge? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's cold in that room. I think it's cold. But yeah. You mean they're loose as in they're just lying around.
Starting point is 00:38:43 He just kind of rolls it in and like leaves it there. And there's like 10 other bodies just kind of hanging out in the on their little beds. So I don't know. But while he's in there, he runs into Dr. Carl Hill, who is their head brain surgeon and brain researcher. And he's performing something on one of the corpses. It's gross. He drills a hole into his forehead and sticks a Q-tip in it. And it looks really gross.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Q-tip. In walks the dean of the hospital dean halsey with herbert west who is going to he's transferring here he's a new medical student and he's giving him a tour of the facilities and introduces him to dr hill and says oh this is our, you know, head brain surgeon. He, you could learn a lot from him. And West is immediately belittling him and says, I've read your research, Dr. Hill. It's pretty derivative of Dr. Gruber's. In fact, it's so derivative that in Europe, we call it plagiarism and just like humiliates this doctor right out. Whoa, shot thrown. Yeah. Everyone looks a little uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:40:10 They argue clearly they're not going to be buddies. And I think kind of to soften the blow, Dean Halsey invites Dr. Hill over for dinner that night and is like, oh, I must have you over for dinner. Me and my daughter, Megan, would love to host you. And this kind of cheers Dr. Hill up. He's like, oh, I'd love to be there. Thank you so much uh dan leaves the morgue finishes his shift and goes home and we see that he is secretly dating megan the dean's daughter they are having sex and there is a stop making sense poster behind them which i think is funny because i just saw the movie talking heads documentary and there might be a talking head coming up i think it's
Starting point is 00:40:54 pretty funny oh clever they're having fun they're having fun they're having a good time that set designer was like this will be funny the cat jumps on them while they're in bed together it's a pretty big jump scare the sound design is really loud for just a cat jump and then megan gets up and is like i need to go home and you know get ready for this dinner tonight my dad says we're having dinner and she's about to rush out the door when Herbert West knocks at the door she opens it he's right there looking very serious he's a very humorless guy even though he's also very funny but they're they're startled what are you doing here and he holds up an ad that he found that dan has a room for rent in his house and so he would like to rent it he asks if he can see the basement first
Starting point is 00:41:52 not a good sign yeah not a good sign and dan shows him and he goes yes, yes, yes. Okay. Okay. So, you know, strike two. Yeah. And Megan is understandably encouraging Dan to take some time to think about it. Maybe we should not say yes right away. But West flashes that wad of cash and is like, I can pay two months rent right now or whatever. And Dan must be strapped for cash. Cause he grabs it and he says, you're,
Starting point is 00:42:27 you're, you're hired. You're hired. Med school is expensive. Yeah. Yes, it is. Um,
Starting point is 00:42:36 the next day we see them attending class. They are watching a demonstration by Dr. Hill, who is showing how to remove the scalp of a of a person to get to the brain essentially and he says it's like peeling a large orange everybody laughs and he says that brain death occurs within 6 to 12 minutes of the person being dead. And West holds this pencil up in the air and snaps it in half. He looks really mad at this lesson that's happening.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Everyone turns and looks. And Dr. Hill keeps talking. And West just fishes another pencil out of his bag and snaps that one. And she continues snapping pencils because he doesn't like what he's hearing. and Wes just fishes another pencil out of his bag and snaps that one. That's very funny. And she continues snapping pencils because he doesn't like what he's hearing. Dr. Hill ignores it. They finish class, but there's definite tension between them. Dr. Hill then goes over to the Dean's house for dinner.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I guess it was the following night. So it's the three of them. It's Dean Halsey, Megan, and Dr. Hill. the following night it's so it's the three of them it's dean halsey megan and dr hill and dr hill is being so creepy with megan who is uh also like a medical student and he's her dad's age and is just it's very gross he's he like toasts to her and he's like to Megan, everyone who knows her falls under the obsession of all who fall under her spell. And the dad is just kind of also toasting to this. I'm like, why are you toasting to this? And everyone looks or only Megan looks uncomfortable when I feel like we should all be looking uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:44:22 So she excuses herself and says that Dan is there to pick her up they're going to be studying together and so she she leaves and goes to goes to dan's and she's still very suspicious of west doesn't she's like this that guy's a little weird they're in the living room just talking she's like i don't know like does he ever come out of his room? What's he like? Seems like very strange. And then she says, where's the cat? I haven't seen the cat. And usually when I come over, the cat is always, you know, with us trying to get our attention. I haven't seen him at all. They start calling out for the cat. Cat's not answering. Cat's not coming. Cat's nowhere in sight. They're splitting up,
Starting point is 00:45:18 checking in different rooms. Megan decides she's going to look in West's room. She opens the door. He's not in there. He's at class or something. And she sees the, he has a refrigerator in his room that's a jar and she opens it and there's a dead cat in there oh sad it is sad so it begins that's what he needs that basement for reanimating it and she screams dan runs And she screams. Dan runs in, sees the cat. West comes home right at this moment and walks into this confrontation. They're like, what the hell is going on? Why is this cat here? And West says, he fell into the trash and got his head stuck in a jar and he suffocated and i didn't want you to find him like that he fell into the trash put his head into a jar suffocated the trash
Starting point is 00:46:14 and i didn't want you to find him like that and dan says uh why didn't you leave a note or tell me or something? And West says, I was busy pushing bodies around, as you well know. And what would a note say, Dan? Cat dead. Details later. This guy has to get out of your house. That's what I'm saying. And it seems like it's going that way until West says, you know, if you do that, I could tell the dean about your relationship.
Starting point is 00:46:51 And I don't know that he'd be too happy to know you're sleeping with his daughter. She's his best classic blackmail. Yeah. And that does that does the trick. And so they decide they're not going to kick him out. And he stays. Megan goes home that night as Dan's sleeping. He hears some very strange noises coming from the basement.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Some screeching sounds, almost like squawking and gets he's got his baseball bat he's walking down the halls thinking somebody's broken in there's like things crashing and falling and he goes down to the basement and sees west looking panicked and something darting around the room so quick that you can't make out what it is. It's a black furry ball that's just flying across hidden shelves, knocking shit over. And Dan has the baseball bat and hits it and hits it against the wall. And there's like brain splatter on the wall from what we know is obviously his cat that sucks he sees this and is very confused now what the hell is going on and west explains he shows him he has this this neon liquid reagent, he calls it, that reanimates dead tissue. And he was testing it on the cat and the cat came back to life. They come back more aggressive and he's in early stages
Starting point is 00:48:38 of figuring that out and how ways in which to control that aggression but either way this is a huge medical discovery that we can bring dead things back to life dan doesn't believe him says he must not have been dead you must have drugged him earlier and just the drugs have now worn off and west says do you believe he's dead now and he the cat is laying on the table with its brain like hanging out of its head and its body all broken and twisted dan has to admit yes i do believe it's dead now west does a in the moment display injects the cat with the liquid comes back to life. He says, don't expect it to tap dance. It's got a broken back and the cat can't move, but is just, again, making a horrible screeching sound.
Starting point is 00:49:41 We see that awful. It comes back to life. Poor Megan comes in at this moment oh that's a bad time to come in yeah megan so many things i feel she lets i mean they all we're all letting too much slide here because we should have kicked this man out a while ago and we need to put this cat out of its misery yes and luckily i don't think we see that happening it it cuts away but we presume that yes they have put the cat out of its misery don't see the cat again the next day at school dan decides to tell dean halsey about this discovery
Starting point is 00:50:21 he says west has figured out how to reanimate animal, dead animal tissue. I saw it with my own eyes. Megan saw it with her own eyes. And Dean Halsey is record scratch. What? Megan was there? My daughter, you involved my daughter in this? Why was my daughter at your house in the middle of the night or whatever? He gets very upset and has a big emotional reaction to this and decides that he's kicking them both out you and west dan and west you're not students here anymore whoa that's very what and dan is saying you're i feel like you're letting your emotions get the best of you here because it seems like this is about your daughter Dean Halsey's not he's not hearing it kicking him out so uh on his last day at the hospital Dan is now sneaking into the morgue
Starting point is 00:51:13 and uh there's a security guard at the door of the morgue that they clearly you know see each other all the time he waves to him and this guy's always reading porn which i think is a funny little detail just a little just a horny morgue guard nice horny morgue guard and so he lets lets him in he's wheeling a dan is wheeling a body in front of him and goes into the morgue and pulls the sheet off. And it is West and they are sneaking into the morgue together. West wants to try this now on a human. They are looking for a less damaged body. There's someone who's got like a gunshot to the head.
Starting point is 00:52:01 That's not going to work. We want someone in pretty, ideally someone fresher and in better physical condition without any major injuries. They find one guy who is pretty fresh and uninjured, but he is absolutely jacked, which I think is a really bad idea. Yeah. Yeah. And sure enough, this actor, by the the way he's a stunt double And he's been the stunt double For Arnold Schwarzenegger a lot of times So that kind of gives you a sense of his physique
Starting point is 00:52:32 Oh shit And a stunt double for Schwarzenegger in like the 80s Yeah Muscles like clouds Muscles like clouds Like child drawing of clouds Big Puffy Billows of muscle
Starting point is 00:52:49 Or roast chickens Absolutely a chicken on a spit Three baseballs on a spit So obviously this goes horribly wrong He does reanimate But he like we already knew, is extra aggressive and just immediately throwing them both around the room, attacking them, strangling them. He's also so red because the makeup is all red and the veins bulging again, but also kind of a white face makeup that looks like he's almost like
Starting point is 00:53:26 has like creamy discharge coming out of somewhere gross he looks nasty and he's attacking them and uh dean halsey has gotten word that these two have not vacated the premises yet and so he knows that they're in the morgue and he's gonna go get him out of there and dean halsey comes into this scene they tell him get out but dean halsey's like you guys gotta get out of here and the reanimated corpse turns his direction on turns his attention on dean halsey busts down a door that Dean Halsey is on the other side of, and then like jumps on top of the door with Dean Halsey underneath it, which looks, it's like a metal door.
Starting point is 00:54:11 It looks extremely heavy. I guess it must be a refrigerated room. Cause it's, yeah, it looks like kind of a refrigerator metal door. And, uh, he,
Starting point is 00:54:22 Dean Halsey gets up extremely injured. Obviously the strong man, the strong man bites his fingers off. Ah, okay. Halsey's screaming. And then a strong man picks him up, throws him across the room. His head hits the wall. We see like blood dripping from where he is hit. It looks like a near kill shot. And at that moment, West fires up a bone saw and sneaks
Starting point is 00:54:57 up behind strong man and essentially stabs him through the back with it so he's sawing through his center and heart and his hand and the bones all come out the front like the alien birth and it's very gross they see so so strong man is dead now re-dead dead again and so is dean halsey. They find him, and Dan is obviously freaking out. I could have seen a way to prevent this from happening. Dan? Dan? Sure. We see Megan upstairs.
Starting point is 00:55:41 She was with her dad right before this and is now like, this is taking a while, I got to. This is taking a while. I'm going to go check to make sure everything's OK. And so she's now heading down to the morgue and. West doesn't blink. He says, we got to reanimate him. He's dead, but he doesn't have to be dead. And Dan is also like missing his fingers And stuff that's like gonna be
Starting point is 00:56:06 Yeah It can't undo that But Could bring him back to life And this is his girlfriend's dad And he's panicking and freaking out And not thinking straight And so decides okay
Starting point is 00:56:21 Yeah let's bring him back to life It's worked so well so far. It's really, really, third time's a charm, you know? Uh-oh. And they do it. And he wakes up and is immediately strangling both of them, holding them both by the throat, which to be fair, he has good reason to be very angry at them.
Starting point is 00:56:43 So we're not sure if this is like extra aggressive or just could just be Dean Halsey, how he actually feels. Yeah. And right at this moment, Megan walks in and is screaming like, dad, stop dad. Don't. And the security card comes in. What the fuck is going on? I think Dan like almost passes out. he like falls onto the floor into fetal position he is so stressed uh west starts cradling him and comforting him and stroking him he's like
Starting point is 00:57:15 you're in shock it's okay it's okay uh dean halsey is now huddled in the corner moaning and they say, yeah, it's Dean Halsey. He, he attacked us. We don't know what's going on. And cut to Dean Halsey in a straight jacket in a padded room. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Dr. Hill is observing him from what he calls a one way mirror. one-way mirror okay not what i would call it i wouldn't call it that but that's what he calls it i would say two-way mirror for the record for the record where did i lie on that debate was i arguing for one way or two way do you guys remember i think you were team one way i think you were arguing for one way if you guys were both two way then i must have been one way i think because i'm definitely two way because it's a mirror that has two ways to it now i understand that only one way is a mirror but all mirrors are one-way mirrors i stick to my point every mirror is a one-way mirror Except for this
Starting point is 00:58:25 Which is a two-way Mirror Yep Okay, okay So does he seem Is he acting like a zombie? They seem like zombies Definitely not themselves
Starting point is 00:58:39 Pretty non-verbal and moaning And grunting And Yeah, it doesn't look doesn't look great uh dr hill is observing him megan is in the observation room as well crying devastated what's going on with her father dr hill tells her he wants to do exploratory surgery to see what's going on look in his brain megan reluctantly agrees and dr hill chooses this moment to start hitting hitting on her says you know he's like i'm i'm
Starting point is 00:59:16 here for you if you need anything you're you're all alone now and sometimes that can be really difficult and sometimes you just need someone to to to hold you really gross. She's like, I'm good. Thank you. Bye. And she's obviously furious at Dan as well. And, uh, this is like part of where we start to get, things get a little choppy. Yeah. You can feel that some things have been cut out uh we see whatever i i believe what happens is dr hill you know does the exploratory surgery and sees that he is should be dead he he has had brain death happen and so he realizes that they have figured out this is you know something to bring people back to life so he shows up at dan and west's place goes down into the basement like asks to
Starting point is 01:00:14 see all of their research and it's just dan and dr hill down in the basement and he's looking at everything and confirming he's like oh oh my God, this is huge. We're going to be famous. We're going to be rich. And as he's saying this, West is grabbing a shovel in the background. And smacks him over the head. Knocks him down. And then uses the shovel to decapitate him and as he's cutting off his head he says plagiarist
Starting point is 01:00:50 oh he's really mad about that he's really mad about that and so now he has a head and a body and he's a scientist at heart and says i've never never, you know, tried two pieces of a body. Let's see what happens if I inject them both with the reagent. So does just that. He he's trying to set the head up on this little metal tray, metal dish thing, and it won't stand straight up because the severed neck is not a completely flat surface. And so he grabs one of those receipt spikes and puts it in the middle and then like pierces the bottom so that it can stand up straight. Very gross little detail. Dr. Hill's severed head comes back to life.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Can't really speak very well. He asks him, what are you feeling? What's Dr. Hill? Tell me everything you're experiencing right now. Dr. Hill very slowly says, you. He writes down, you, you. Okay, yes, on the edge of his seat. He goes, bastard.
Starting point is 01:02:06 And then the reanimated body comes up behind West, Dr. Hill's body, and knocks West unconscious. West comes back to consciousness in the basement, but now all of his research is gone. All of the reagent is gone dr hill has taken everything and he's heading back to the lab and this this is all dr trying to blend in it's very silly slapstick comedy uh he eventually gets to the morgue and he uses a medical model of a head as his head and just puts um you know like a mask and a little hat on it and so he is waving at the security guard while looking so silly and the security guard is just so focused on his porn he's like yeah yeah go on in so one of the things that was cut out that you can definitely tell is there is a strange subplot
Starting point is 01:03:21 where dr hill for some reason. Has mind control powers. Oh my god. And I think it was the right choice. To cut it out. But there are points at which people. Just do what he says. For seemingly no reason. Including West.
Starting point is 01:03:37 There was a part in the basement scene. Where he's like show me all your research. And he looks almost hypnotized. And shows it to him It's a very funny Deus Ex Machina To be like Yeah he can just do
Starting point is 01:03:48 Whatever he wants Yeah Don't worry about it So He finds Or he goes back To Dean Halsey And
Starting point is 01:03:55 Tells him To go get Megan Because he can I guess You know Get him to do Whatever he wants him to do
Starting point is 01:04:03 So now Um Dean Halsey is going to go get um megan we see the security guard is like break time making a little face like he's gonna go jerk off dean halsey brings megan back to the morgue this is the upsetting part it gets her naked and straps her to a what do you call the tables just like a metal table an operating table i guess yeah yeah yeah it's really very upsetting she's screaming and she's next to the decapitated head of dr hill so he's looking at her and so horny for her and like and she looks up at his body which still has the medical model head on it and she punches him and the head flies off and she sees that bloody neck stump and is screaming
Starting point is 01:05:09 more and those hands are like holding her down and then they his body picks up his head and holds it so that he can kiss her and like he's like the body is like touching her boobs and he's like kissing it gets worse he's kissing down her body and moving the head between her legs and he's about to go down on her when uh i think dan and west bust in but it's horrifying and a piece of trivia i found that maybe make this a little bit better is that this actor's wife divorced him for this scene really oh my god david gale i mean i guess i can't say that with 100 certainty but in the trivia it did say when she saw this scene she was like so furious and that they got divorced like a month later, which I think is very,
Starting point is 01:06:08 she just needed a reason. It wasn't about the scene for sure. But imagine telling people they're like, so what was it? Like what broke you guys in the end? She's like, well, it was when he pretended to be a decapitated corpse that was sexually assaulting. Yeah. But I feel like I remember in college, I like don't remember this scene bothering me. And that was disturbing to me when rewatching it because our brains, we're just like more aware now.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I think that things are. We are like desensitized to a certain degree. And so that was the like most disturbing part to me was me being like, oh, I don't even remember being upset by this at all. And I very much am now yeah but dan and west come in and and thwart this disgusting moment i mean it's still all disgusting it's disgusting things have already happened but west uh is confronting Dr. Hill now and saying, you are an embarrassment. You find the gift of reanimation and you're using it to assault a student. Dr. Hill does not seem embarrassed at all. And he's like, I'm going to be rich and I'm going to be famous.
Starting point is 01:07:20 And he says, no one's going to believe a talking head. Go join a sideshow i actually think in fact that's the absolute proof yeah one might say it's absolutely the most believable part of this whole situation yeah yep pretty definitive i think they're the think he's the most likely to be believed. The most likely. So it looks like Dan and West have got the upper hand here. They've got him. But then Dr. Hill starts laughing and he's like, I've got a plan. And you guys, you know, watch out.
Starting point is 01:08:08 That's definitely not the dialogue he says but you know what i mean and all the other corpses in the morgue reanimate he has injected them all and can like control their minds i guess so he's got a little corpse army a very gross fight ensues where everyone's um you know naked and some like someone has been run over by a car so has like their skin falling off and tired tread someone's a bird had died in a fire so it's all these corpses that have died in horrible ways that are now attacking uh dan by the way, immediately got Megan off the table and put his shirt on her. So she's at least not in that position anymore. And she is seeing her dad and trying to get through to him, you know, like maybe he's still under there underneath it all. If I can just get to get him
Starting point is 01:09:06 to see that I'm his daughter and remember a little bit. And so she's looking at him being like, daddy, it's me, it's me, it's me, it's me. And eventually he does have some recognition in his eyes and he turns and starts fighting off all the other corpses. And so they've got one more person on their team and he seems to be holding them off pretty well. And he grabs Dr. Hill's head and he squeezes it between his palms and he crushes it like a watermelon. Whoa, okay.
Starting point is 01:09:44 And then all the rest of the corpses, because they were being mind controlled by him, are now screaming. Oh, what do we do now? They're aimless, aimless corpses. And but Dr. Hill's body is still going. He's still fighting. And so. Dan and West are fighting off these other corpses and i think they release i was a little i was a little fuzzy on this i'll be honest with you i think they break
Starting point is 01:10:12 some beaker with a toxic compound in it that goes into the air and and kills them all but for some reason doesn't kill them yeah okay so they've they've managed to kill or re-kill all of the reanimated corpses except for dr hill's body who is still determined and west has the idea to overdose him and takes all of the reagent and injects it into him he says i think this is going to work based on my research and uh dr hill's body starts shaking and something's happening and he's being overcome with the reagent and then his intestines burst out of his stomach ew gross wrap around west oh and are like pulling him towards him like he's like a venus fly trap like gonna eat him like what's happening here it's really nasty dan and megan just make a run for it Yeah bye They're like we're out of here
Starting point is 01:11:26 They run out through the hallway And Oh we have seen somewhere in the corpse fight Dean Halsey got ripped Limb from limb So he is dead And I think there is One corpse left
Starting point is 01:11:44 In the hallway that they didn't know and so as they're running to the elevator which is the exit from this you know part of the building and they're trying to get in the elevator but this corpse gets into and is strangling megan grabbing megan's throat he's trying to pull him off but he can can. This guy's pretty big. He sees the emergency axe on the wall, smashes it, goes to get that axe. But it's kind of far. And he's been strangling her for a little while now. And he gets back and finally cuts off this guy's arms and kills him. But Megan is now unconscious.
Starting point is 01:12:23 So he goes upstairs where luckily, I mean mean they're in a hospital so he's screaming for help everyone we get her onto a table and mirroring our earlier scene we are doing chest compressions on her megan megan it's okay like come back to me and she is dead and they once again whoa are telling her they're telling him dan there's nothing you can do she's gone she's gone dan again not giving up doing chest compressions and then eventually gives up sobbing Everyone looks very sympathetic, obviously. They leave him with her as he's crying, apologizing to her. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And then he sees some reagent in a duffel bag on the floor
Starting point is 01:13:18 and pulls it out, fills a syringe, grabs the back of her head to inject it into the brain stem. He says, I love you, Megan. And we cut to black as we see the little neon liquid being injected into her
Starting point is 01:13:38 and we just hear her screaming. And that's the end of the movie. What? Whoa! Whoa, that is her screaming and that's the end of the movie what whoa whoa that it's hard to process it's like was that was that funny or not because that's like it took a really dark turn at the end really dark turn at the end yeah there's definitely funny parts in the movie and moments where i laughed i just mean like the whole tone. Yeah, the whole tone felt like it was like trying to be both. It was trying to be silly and it was also trying to
Starting point is 01:14:10 be disturbing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was trying to do both and it kind of did. I think it was pretty upsetting. They didn't need to kill Megan. There multiple sequels I believe I think there's Reanimator 2 and 3 at least But I'm good Wow I'm good You don't need to see the other ones? I have a hard time Oh this is something else I wanted to say
Starting point is 01:14:36 With the 80s horror Is like you mentioned Henley There's so many sequels To all of the main three slashers nightmare on elm street street friday the 13th and halloween there's a lot of hellraiser sequels as well i think of the 80s as like bad sequel time that they were just like let's make 1 million sequels because we found a character that audiences are responding to and so i don't know i like have no interest in any of the sequels to any of those movies except for hellraiser 2 obviously which rules but yeah it's like i just don't care about
Starting point is 01:15:12 the sequels it's they're fine movies as themselves and i've had enough you know i'm all i'm all set i've i've had enough reanimator yeah personally. Personally. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good. It's because they're so predictable. Right. And you're like, at this point, you kind of could know what would happen in the next couple of ones. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, I think it was just pretty upsetting. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:42 It's like shocked at how much more upset I am by that than I was anticipating. There was a lot of limbs being removed, heads being removed from bodies. Everything went so bad. I know. Things did not go well. For everyone. Mm-hmm. They were just really bad.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Yeah. And so what have we learned? We can't bring things back from the dead. We've learned that. Yeah. It never works. It never goes well. But we'll keep trying.
Starting point is 01:16:15 We'll always keep trying. I don't want that. I don't want that. If I die, leave me dead. Yeah. Don't bring me back to life. Second did. Definitely not
Starting point is 01:16:25 Wow, well, thank you, Sammy For ruining our day yet again We did a fun one last week Man So you had your fun That's true And I've got high hopes for the 90s Yeah
Starting point is 01:16:39 You know, I think next week we may have some good fun in store Yeah, and I feel like a lot of people are going to be wondering why didn't we do a Friday the 13th sequel? Because there is a Friday the 13th in October, which is very cool. That is cool. It's this upcoming week. It's this very upcoming Friday. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Exactly. And so it would have timed out perfectly to do a Friday the 13th sequel. But as I said, I don't really want to watch it. That's fine. Hey, it's just her cognitive it's also because i always get these you watch you watch it on friday the 13th but and i always get these like you can read articles and it's like yeah the second one's bad and the third one's also pretty bad but then the fourth one gets good and it's like i don't want to i don't want to deal with all that it's a lot of time joel has put it upon himself now to truly watch all of the saw movies to see saw 10 in theaters and i've never been more confused by a choice he's yeah he has watched so many saw movies in the past week and most of them are bad how many has he seen that's too much five he's seen
Starting point is 01:17:46 five which means he still has five to go yeah i'll be like oh how was this one yeah not so good okay man all right yeah i can't i have a lot of trouble going into a movie that i know is going to be bad it's like everybody says for example, Friday the 13th to part two is bad. It's like, all right, well then, well, I don't want to see it then. No, thanks. Yeah. I'm going to skip it. Yeah. So yeah, it's a, it's a big time commitment. And also our, our brains are hardwired for, we don't want to, we don't, we don't want to be anything but entertained You're not going to entertain me
