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 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 like watching scary movies and I like telling these two scaredy cats about
them. Great. She's so brave. That's what that's what we do. how are we what's up a week has gone by if anyone can believe it
um i just wanted to give the listeners a little update on my cockroach situation
please um after we last talked about it i saw one more the very next day so i was seeing a
cockroach a day for four days in a row which wasn't great horrible um but i set out those little um little houses they call them cockroach houses
and immediately never saw one again it worked so well but does it go in there and then you have to
take the house out and it has a dead cockroach in it or how does that work no it just takes the
poison out of the house and takes it back and kills its whole family
with it.
Oh, that's dark.
Oh, hi!
Okay, so it's not so much a house as...
It's a death trap.
It's a death trap, yeah.
But you know what?
Get him out of there.
Get him out of there.
It works really well.
I know.
I was like, I feel kind of bad, but also, what are you going to do?
It's cockroaches, you know?
Yeah, what are you going to do? And also, You know? Yeah. What are you going to do?
And also I found out that like landlords love to call them water bugs.
Henley, you told me that, right?
I've never heard them called water bugs one time in my life.
It's like a sneaky trick to try to make you think you don't have cockroaches.
When I was.
They're the same.
They're basically the same thing.
When I was living in New York before, we would get them and we would get them in our bathroom
and our landlord
would just tell us they were water bugs.
And then he would be like, they're much smaller than cockroaches.
A sneaky, sneaky trick.
I was like, these are some large water bugs then.
Also, like, I don't really care what they're called if they're nasty.
I don't want them.
Like, why does that really make them better?
They're disgusting.
They're disgusting.
Agreed. Bugs are bad. Well, congratulations, Sammy really make them better? They're disgusting. They're disgusting. Agreed. Exactly.
Bugs are bad. Well, congratulations, Sammy.
Thank you so much. Huge news.
Big news. What about you guys?
Mine is just
actually a request
this week. Okay.
So,
I am moving
back to New York and
I leave... York and I leave.
Boo.
I leave a week from today, actually, or a week from tomorrow.
And so I don't.
So basically, this this episode will be released just in time for me to start my road trip.
for me to start my road trip.
And I am driving across country and I would
love for anyone's
recommendations about
things to listen to,
things to do in the
car for long road trips,
audiobooks,
podcasts, music,
albums, whatever.
Just bring it.
I want to know. Good request.
It's a good request. Listeners, drop
it in the comments. Yeah.
We would love to hear. I mean, everyone
can benefit from that.
So send us
a message. DM us. Leave us in the
comments. Leave it in a review.
But anyway,
I would love to know. Whatever. I love that.
I mean, I hate it it but i love that you asked
i mostly hate it i mostly really hate it but it's fine um it's not fine but it is what it is
um i poured cement today what or concrete what's the difference? Is there a difference? I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
So I have a teeny tiny little balcony off of my bedroom
and I've never done anything with it because it's
really small and
it looks onto my neighbor's balcony
right there and so it's a weird place to hang
out, but I can't go anywhere.
So I'm like, okay, I'll make that a
place that I can feel like I can go
yeah yeah so
I got like trellis
for some privacy but
I needed a way to hang it up
anyway I essentially just wanted
do you ever start talking and you
just wish you had never started talking
all the time I don't know whatever here we are
so I'm on the
edge of my seat okay Okay, good, good, good.
So I needed like some
weighted poles essentially to keep
the trellis up from falling
because there's nowhere I can attach it.
So anyway, weighted poles are expensive.
That looked up a DIY thing, which is very
cheap, listeners. Just a cement
planter and a wooden
dowel, just like, you know,
that's all. A wooden dowel just like a you know a that's all the wooden dowel and you get
concrete mix or cement mix and you pour you make your own little like weighted concrete planter
with the wooden pole in it anyway i did it today it's it's setting right now so um tomorrow i'll
have my weighted poles which is pretty exciting but I ordered online from Home Depot
to do like curbside pickup
and I ordered what seemed like the most
reasonable
concrete mix, you mix it with water
I've seen it done, it was like $4
it was like the cheapest
option you could get, it looked small on the website
it's a 90 pound bag
what?
that's too many pounds 90 pounds and it's not that big because it's just a heavy thing oh yeah that's true that's true i like went to pick it up in the store and they
like put in the cart for me and they rolled over and they're like do you need help out to your car
and i was like no because i always say no i'm what am i gonna accept help um no way and i got
it out to my car and true i truly was like i i don't think i can lift it out of my car and I truly was like I don't think I can lift
it out of like I like slid
it but even that was like too heavy
and it was an ordeal I did get it
I did get it into my car and then back out of my
car at home but like literally
just like onto the ground
and now it's on my back on my like driveway
because I can't move it
so I'll you know cross that bridge
when I get to it.
I'll keep you posted.
Yeah, wow. I want some before
and after photos of all of these projects.
Okay, well there's no before
because I already did it.
Why do you keep doing this, Emily? Take some befores.
This happened also with your kitchen, I think.
It did. Because you know
how I just decide I'm going to do something
and immediately do it. That's the thing about me there's no lag time
Between the decision and the start of a project
For me so but I've never had time to do it before
Yeah you gotta jump right in
I just jump right in
I'll give you an after and then imagine the before you know
Just imagine it
I can't wait
Thanks
But let's get into this week's movie let's get into this week's movie.
Let's get into this week's movie.
It is Tales from the Hood.
Came out in 1995.
Directed by Rusty Kundiaf.
Written by Rusty Kundiaf and Darren Scott.
Starring Clarence Williams III, Joe Torre, DeAndre Bonds, Samuel Monroe Jr., Tom Wright, Anthony Griffith, Brandon Hammond, and Lamont Bentley.
It's a lot of people.
A lot of people in this movie.
You did a good job.
Yeah, it's a lot of people in this movie.
And there's one more person on this podcast today because we have a guest.
And we're so excited to have him with us this week.
We have podcast guest extraordinaire, Carl's
Heart. Oh my gosh, thank
you. Welcome. Thank you so
much. Hi, Carl. I mean, you're many more things
than that, too, but you know,
you're on a lot of podcasts. I'm on a lot of podcasts.
I gotta stop. I'm gonna, people
gonna be like, I'm sick of hearing this dude, eventually.
I gotta start doing podcasts. Well, keep going
until it happens. Just keep riding
that train. You know know i did this um
cbs diversity showcase when i was a little younger and the director i was like hey man if i get in
all these sketches all of these agents and managers in this crowd are gonna want to sign me
and all that and they were like you don't want to be in all the sketches promise me you want to be
in like four or five they started taking me out of and they were like it's too much carl it's gonna be overkill and and i was like what man y'all
blocking my blessings like i was mad how y'all gonna take me out of this sketch i'm gonna leave
him wanting more yeah that's the thing so i think i may just go on a podcast sabbatical after this
one this is gonna be my last one yeah thank god we got you just in time. I'm moving to New York a week from today and I want to request things.
I got some suggestions for you.
Oh, please tell me.
I'm all ears.
First thing to do is turn on Google Maps and listen to the Google Map lady say, turn back around.
Don't leave Los Angeles.
Oh, yes.
Thank you, Carl.
Thanks, Carl.
I just mentioned I don't want you to go.
That's exactly right.
I always discourage people from moving to New York.
Have you lived in New York before?
Of course not. And never would.
Well, then how can you know?
I know. I've been there four days at a time.
Yeah, come on.
That's the cutoff.
It's enough.
So I lived in New York for three years and
it's definitely different
than living in Los Angeles. That's for sure.
Yeah, it's uncomfortable. What do you have
against New York? I'm too big
for New York.
You're too big? I mean, Henley,
you are moving into a tiny little place.
It's true. Everybody's bumping into me.
Everything is small.
I just can't fit nowhere.
The train is packed.
I mean, it's true that you have to get comfortable with being a lot closer to humans than you are here.
What a good time for you.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I know it's not ideal timing.
Obviously, this move was planned pre-pandemic.
Have you talked about why on the pod?
Or is that something I should say for after?
Why are you going?
Oh, so I'm going for work.
And then also my fiance is going for school.
So he's going to graduate school starting in the fall.
So we are moving into a studio in Washington Heights.
And it's going to be interesting
continuing to quarantine but in a smaller
location right
that's definitely the right way to do it
you gotta downgrade you gotta
downsize in this time that's the way to do it
you should have y'all's listeners
everybody who uses Spotify
make a playlist everybody contribute to it
y'all should make a playlist
and give out.
Give out the link in the description of this episode so everybody can add a song to it.
And it's going to be mostly trash because people have bad taste in music.
You know what?
It's something to think about.
Some conversation fodder like, oh, this song is trash.
Don't you think so, fiance?
Yes, I do.
I'm going to talk about this in my classes.
Yeah.
So we can just be yeah i want to be
i want you guys to give me suggestions so i can rag on them during let me judge you let me just
be like what a dumb suggestion this one was i love it which in and of itself is an activity so it's
not not not working yeah i have a question about your cockroaches.
Yep.
Ask away.
Are they were they big cockroaches like like inch and a half inch and a half style cockroach?
They're definitely above an inch.
Yeah.
I'd say pushing to two inches.
That's not a water bug.
That's a cockroach.
That's a cockroach.
Yeah.
I mean, I sent I sent these two photos every time you guys saw them.
They were cockroaches.
They're big.
They're definitely big.
They're really big.
I don't know.
I don't care what you call that.
It's disgusting and bad.
Where I'm from, they fly.
Oh, my God.
I've heard of those.
Palmetto bugs.
I hate that so much.
Oh, that's worse.
Yeah.
Oh, them flying?
No, thank you.
That's awful.
Then you have no control over them.
They can be anywhere.
And you know what they do in New York, don't you?
They go, I'm walking over here.
And they slap the hood of the car.
Honestly, if I saw that in New York, I would be fucking thrilled.
I'm looking forward to seeing that type of absurd behavior in New York City.
Yeah, like the rat smoking a cigarette type shit.
Well, the actual pizza rat. The rat
pulling that huge pizza pizza down
the subway stairs that's like three times
the size of him.
The size of your apartment
is that pizza pizza.
Exactly.
Wait, so Carl, do you like
scary movies? Are you a horror movie fan?
No. You're not? I could be a host of this podcast i don't watch scary movies very often uh it's just not my go-to thing uh i
watch stuff if friends say hey we're about to go see this thing and i'll be like all right i'll go
for the camaraderie yeah sure but as far as like sitting at home being like, oh, I'm about to turn on.
So no, I ain't doing that.
So if you go with a group and they're watching it, do you enjoy it?
Or would you rather?
Yeah, I'll scream and laugh and have a good time.
That's fun.
You know, it is a fun.
It's a fun group activity.
Yeah.
Big group of movie homies.
I went to go see Get Out.
Like that was like a that was a great theater
experience yeah when i was willingly you know i went to go see it at magic johnson theaters
uh which is now called rave theaters but i went to go see it in a black neighborhood which is
what i really wanted to do just because it's a different movie going experience with uh
with my people uh yeah all the stereotypes are mostly true i i cannot deny that there's a lot of talking
going on there's a lot of you know screaming get out and there's a lot of like it's it was fun it
was great it was a great experience laughing but then it didn't got to be a point where people
were getting a little bit too performative and they were trying to like get laughs from the
audience in there then people start being like shut your ass up yeah yeah to me that's the best i don't usually like horror movies but um watching them in a group
setting is probably the best part of a horror movie experience for sure the getting to feel
like the adrenaline in a group um otherwise i, I am right there with you.
I do not like horror movies
on my own one little bit.
It can't be something like
I mentioned Saw,
but Saw don't have that much
humor to it.
It's got to be something that's kind of silly at the same time.
Saw is no fun at all.
It ain't fun. It's just
bad stuff. It's just bad stuff.
It's really bad.
I've yet to be convinced
why anyone
wants to watch a movie that
just makes you feel awful.
I don't understand.
I don't
understand. To be fair, we've also
had a lot of guests on this podcast
and none of them have wanted to do Saw.
Even horror fans, you know, we haven't actually had anyone.
Yeah, we're going to have to like specifically do that one.
We're going to have to make that choice ourselves because nobody else is jumping to do it.
Joel has said that he would do it or at least he wants us to do it.
So I might be like, but then that means you're doing it
it would certainly be a good one to scare you guys with
you would not like it
I've heard about one thing in it and I
fucking hate it that's the kind of movie
that like
I like physically react from even just
hearing it like yeah
to me scary movies like that
are kind of like roller coasters, which I'm popular opinion.
I hold.
But like, why?
You know, I'm I loved roller coasters as a kid.
And now I'm so scared of them.
It's it feels like rolling the dice with your life every time.
Interesting.
Do you have any other fears that you had or do any of y'all have fears that you had that you didn't have when you were a kid that now you have? I feel like everything. I was
much more brave about everything as a kid, even up to like more recently, my early twenties. Say
something happened in my mid twenties where now I'm afraid of everything except for scary movies.
I did the opposite with scary movies. I was scared of them as a kid and now I like them. So I've shifted my
taste for fear into
the comfort of my home or a movie theater
and real life adrenaline
things I don't like anymore. I'm more scared
of flying as I get older.
I was just going to say. That's the same as me.
I've never really been scared. Intellectually I know
like okay it's like fine but I get way
more uneasy on planes now
than I ever have. when i was a kid i
thought turbulence was fun oh god yeah well we getting it in we getting it in right now and now
i'm like stop this yeah like i listened to the pilot everybody else is like in their own you
know on that got the airpods in and stuff but when the pilot's like i'm gonna smooth flight all the
way into new orleans it's going to be three hours and
35 minutes. We're going to run into a little bit of turbulence
over Texas. Like, okay, so Texas.
So let me get to Texas. What part of Texas? Because Texas
is huge. So like, what part of Texas
am I expecting? But you know what the thing is
with me and flying? I'm fascinated by it.
I wouldn't mind being a pilot right
now. But also, I'm growing
afraid to fly. It's weird.
I wonder if it'd be less scary as a
pilot because you feel more like you're in control that's what it is yeah i'm being a control freak
about flying that's why i like to sit towards the front of the plane because it makes me feel like
i'm that much like y'all need me to drive like in case in case y'all need me you can tap in
y'all need me to get up there what'd you what'd you say cap you need me you need 14 d to get
yeah well make sure everything's good i have at least
i have at least one moment every flight where i'm like well this is it this is the one that goes down
like i'll convince myself for at least 15 minutes that it's certainly 15 minutes is a long time
sammy it's a long time to think that you might die it's not that long but it feels like 15 minutes
i mean in like a four hour flight that at least maybe 10 minutes are dedicated
to like it's it's gonna happen
this is gonna be the flight that goes down
yeah I think I'm just more more
aware of how bad it would be if I died
and more aware of what it would
like I like think about
if this plane crashes
oh that's gonna be a really bad
whole experience like I just like I'm
so I just like think about the whole
picture more and so it's a lot scarier.
I think about the pain.
The pain is going to hurt so bad.
Oh, interesting. I think about
the anxiety as it's falling.
When you're like, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.
Yes, yes, yes.
I think this is just like you're
becoming more aware of your mortality
as you get older.
Right.
Every little thing.
I'll be looking out for it.
I look at the yellow signs in grocery stores.
I can't slip.
You never know.
I might hit my head on something.
Can't do that.
And that's real.
That's more likely than a plane crash.
Yeah, that's true.
When I was a kid, I'd go over to that oily spot and be like.
And now I'm like.
Not a care in the world.
Watch out.
Yeah.
But OK, so this movie in particular, Carl, have you seen it a lot?
You don't like scary movies, but is this one like a particular favorite?
This was one of the ones that I was shamed as a teenager for not having seen when I was a little kid.
So it came out in 95 i was uh
six years old 95 and and so i didn't see it then i wasn't allowed to watch it my i have a very young
mom and so she was really young at the time things look probably like 24 and her and her friends
went to go watch it because they were young 20 somethings and they were like we're gonna go see tales from the hood and i was not allowed to go with them of course
and then i also was not allowed to watch it when it when like my older cousins would get it on like
vhs or something like that and so i remember the first time i saw it i was in high school
and my friends were like man remember this from this from Tales from the Hood? Like he like made like a reference to it.
And I was like, I, you ain't never seen Tales from the Hood?
Oh, hell no.
And so we like they went off and then we had to eventually, we had to still had to go to
a Hollywood video to rent it.
Yeah.
On DVD at that point.
But like rental, like go to a store to rent it.
Yeah.
And that's the first time I saw it.
And I've seen it about,
it's come on TV a couple of times since then.
And I like turned to it because there are some funny moments in it.
But I,
it is definitely not one of my favorite films.
And it's not like,
sorry if that was,
did I preface that it was one of my favorite films?
You didn't know.
No,
I asked because I hate this movie.
I don't want to talk about it.
I'm out.
No, I've seen it
all the way through
twice.
Because it is also
funny, right? It's like a horror comedy
or no? There are moments of humor.
There are moments of humor. Moments of
levity. Yeah, there are
good jokes in it. Great.
Sammy, had you seen it before?
I had not. This was my first
viewing.
Yeah, I
enjoyed it. How do we watch it now if
someone wanted to watch it now? Is it on
Netflix? Is it on Amazon?
I believe I rented it on Amazon.
Great. No Hollywood videos anymore. No Hollywood videos. I believe I rented it on Amazon. Okay. Great. I think.
No Hollywood videos anymore.
No Hollywood videos.
I used to work at Hollywood Video.
You did?
Really?
Yeah.
What was it like?
Working at Hollywood Video, I used to get reprimanded a lot because I was a slow worker
when you had to put the new releases out and I didn't move fast enough.
And I would have like a full ass cart at like, we would like close the store like midnight and it would be
like 1143 and I still got like
45 movies to hang up
maybe like hey man
you gotta move Carl you're
sitting here joking you're very funny we think you're funny
but you gotta you gotta move
so
it was a fun job
yeah I really showed them
now I am Hollywood Now I am Hollywood Video.
I am Hollywood Video.
Hey, everyone.
It's your favorite time of the week, cocktail hour.
This week, we will be making a graveyard, which is a very serious, actually real drink that we do not want to take responsibility for if you actually decide to make and drink.
You will see why once I tell you the ingredients. So what goes into a graveyard cocktail is a
quarter ounce triple sec, a quarter ounce rum, a quarter ounce vodka, a quarter ounce gin, a quarter ounce tequila,
a quarter ounce bourbon whiskey,
a quarter ounce scotch,
beer, and stout.
You mix the liquors in a beer mug in equal amounts.
Top up the rest of the mug with half a beer and half stout.
Enjoy!
Do we have any trivia about this movie?
Sammy, do you have any trivia? this movie sammy do you have any trivia i have just two little things great um clarence williams the third who plays kind of the the the crypt keeper
type characters this is like a play on tales from the crypt which i've also never seen but um he was
in an episode of tales from the Crypt. So fun little crossover there.
Oh, that's fun.
And then there is a segment in this film with some spooky dolls.
Mark your bingos.
The dolls were later reused in Team America World Police.
Because it's the same special effects team.
And they had saved some of the dolls.
That's wild.
I didn't know that.
That is.
Wait, dolls are puppets.
Were they puppets?
They're like kind of clay-ish.
Oh, I guess.
Yeah.
Because it's kind of stop motion-y.
Yeah.
Like claymation type thing.
Their names are the Kyoto Brothers.
Chiyoto Brothers.
And yeah.
They worked on both movies.
So they just threw some of their
like let's get some of these creepy dolls
in Team America.
And would you guys
how scary would you say this film is?
On a scale of 1 to 10.
1 not being scary.
10 being very very, very scary.
I'd say the real life
scares are quite high.
The
you know, that's like
the thing that
when I think horror is best is when
it's commenting on real life
things and I think it
does that here and it is quite scary.
I got some opinions on that
but i i will say that uh i was i would give this film i don't say film uh i would give this film
i'll give it a six and a half okay yeah 6.5 it didn't get good reviews at the time i mean it's not uh super well reviewed
frankly i wouldn't expect it to yeah it's kind of you know it's kind of like uh it's goosebumps
feeling i feel like it's kind of like silly and like everything looks very 90s like the effects
are it reminded me a lot of Goosebumps.
Goosebumps like scared the shit out of me.
Yeah, Goosebumps scared me too.
Oh yeah, big time.
And that was the TV show was on around 1995.
Same time.
RL's time.
Yeah, but Are You Afraid of the Dark was scarier, right?
Oh, I couldn't watch it.
I wouldn't even go anywhere near it.
There was an episode of that.
Like I was scared of pools for so long. It was
something where something came out of a pool drain and
it fucked me up. I hated it.
Yeah. No.
It's kind of campy.
It's that kind of campy goose bumps-y.
I don't
think you're going to...
There's no jump scares or anything.
It's not like you're going to be
cowering in
terror should we watch the trail should we watch the trailer yeah
let's roll in this neighborhood is a house where souls never rest
you're invited to share their secrets.
I've been waiting
for you boys.
You're invited to share their
tales. Unless, of course,
you're scared. Tales of madness.
Of revenge.
The dolls don't want you there!
They want reparation!
Of horror. He thinks he needs to kill the monster.
Now, your most terrifying nightmare and your most frightening reality are about to meet.
On the streets.
And this is a trip, homie.
I don't need nothing from the House of Dead, folks, okay?
Death. trip homie i don't need nothing from the house of dead folks okay death it comes in many strange from the hood carl now's where we're silent for the whole rest of the podcast
if you want to just kick it off for us. All right. Yeah, I'll kick it off.
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
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

So, Tales from the Hood.
1995.
It is listed as a horror comedy drama.
So it was supposed to be.
All the genres.
Yeah, that's so many genres.
Yeah.
So these three dudes who are like gangbangers, they go into a, they go up to a spooky house
that supposedly this guy like claimed that he found some drugs and they are going to
like claim to buy the drugs.
But what they're actually going to do is steal the drugs from him so they can sell them and and not have to pay money for them.
And when they get there, this dude is just being like real, like spooky and weird.
And they're kind of like scary.
I really liked his performance.
It's so funny he's just
like wide-eyed big smile very creepy big gap tooth it's great he's really doing it up he's
giving it a great performance and these guys are trying to be hard they're trying to be like
you know like we're cool like we're not scared of you but in actuality they are scared because
he's a scary dude uh which is commentary commentary ring the commentary bell that is definitely
commentary yes commentary on these gangsters they feel like they have to be hard it's okay to be
scared gangsters because that might save your life. First commentary of the movie.
But they're like,
man, can we just get out of here and get the shit?
He's like, yes.
Yes, get the shit.
The shit.
The shit.
You're going to be knee deep
in the shit.
But then he starts being like,
well, before we get to the drugs,
why don't I tell y'all a story?
Because they stumble upon a dead body
and they want to know
like it's like a funeral it's a funeral home so it's a bunch of dead bodies in there he's like
oh yeah i'll tell you what happened to this guy and that's how they introduce the stories each of
the stories yeah okay that's sort of the like uh framework for all of the yeah yes the framework
they're doing a pretty flower ah Ah, yes. It's beautiful.
But yeah, that's how they introduce
all the stories is they
show like a dead body and then he goes into the
dead body. So the first story
is called Rogue Cop
Revelation. And in this story
this new rookie
just joined the force and he's a
black cop and he's
surrounded by all these shitty white cops.
And they're going around doing shitty stuff, being cops, being, you know, brutalizers and messing with people.
And he's like, I'm trying to I want to change it from within.
Like, I grew up in this neighborhood.
I want to change this from within.
I want to change this from within.
And there's this like city councilman who is like, he's been trying to like,
you know,
make police reform happen.
Uh,
like he wants,
he wants,
you know,
defund the police.
He wants more house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the,
and the rookie cop is Clarence.
Yeah.
Rookie cop is Clarence.
And so,
uh,
and so he's,
he,
he's going around and he's trying to then one night they find him
and they pull him over and like three cops come up and the cops of course are like harassing him
being like you're trying to get these good cops name soiled like why don't we teach you a little
lesson or whatever and they end up beating the dude to death and the rookie cop is like hey stop
this stop this and they're like if you want to stop it you can get beat up too basically like
like being like we're gonna beat your ass if you keep talking you know how cops do
but uh yeah it's fucking scary that is fucking scary and so cops are bad like they they they
beat they beat up uh the city councilman they end up killing him and so to frame it they inject
heroin into his arm and then they put us like put him behind
the wheel of his car and drive it off of a like a embankment into a river or into a into a body of
water what and yeah bad bad bad really bad and then there's like a little time jump and we see
that it's like a year later yeah right. Right. And then Clarence.
Clarence is all messed up at this point.
Yeah.
Because riddled with.
Yeah.
He's guilty.
Guilt and anger.
Yeah.
He's real.
He's real with guilt.
He's riddled with anger.
He left the force, which is honestly, you got to commend him for that.
And I believe there's so many other cops should do that.
Because I'm like, they always say, like, there are good cops out there.
I believe them, but you're bad
if you stay.
Get off.
The organization is bad.
Yeah, but he's
riddled with guilt because he witnessed this, and
they've kind of framed him and was like, you're a part of
this, so you might as well, you better not tell or whatever.
And he starts getting visited by the ghost of the city councilman.
Like being like, avenge me, avenge me.
Like, it's up to you.
You want to stop these dreams?
You want to stop this?
Everywhere he goes, he like sees like murals of him and stuff like that.
And then finally he gets all these cops to come out and meet him in the graveyard and they all
come out like what's the meaning of this and they're ready like to eat him up too and then
they're like we're not gonna like he was like we should at least pay our respects to him like so
we could like so he could stop haunting me like let's pay our respect to him right and of course
their cops are being like we're not gonna pay no respects i'm gonna piss on his grave he literally
says that i'm gonna piss on his grave and so he takes his penis out and starts peeing and morehouse reaches up out of the ground grabs
him by the dick and pulls him down grabs him by the dick and smashes his head against his own
gravestone he pulls him like over and over and it's a saddenedittal gravestone oh my god then all of a sudden
it becomes like a crazy
story like after this like
all the cops shoots up out of the ground
like supernatural and this
was actually the scariest one for me when I was a kid
because the makeup on this
is really good the zombie makeup
that they use on Morehouse
is like really good
so creepy yeah he looks creepy.
Yeah, it looks creepy as hell.
And he just starts basically like, you know, like really getting in their asses.
All these cops.
Yeah, like one by one.
Yeah.
Taking them down.
Yeah.
Each of them, he just like finds a new way to kill them.
Then the last guy, he used hypodermic needles, what they used on him to inject the heroin into him.
Yeah.
He like picks up a bunch with like telekinesis and shoots them at him.
And they all just stuck in there.
He like gets like melts into the wall and he becomes like this weird mural on
this wall that next to the,
like,
does he take the place of class?
I think so.
Yeah.
There was a mural of more house on the wall.
Yeah.
Um,
that I guess the implication is he was kind of like his maybe spirit was
trapped in there or something something like that and yeah then because when when when um the last
bad cop is like pushed into the mural or made a mural of then he says like now you
feel what i feel or now you are where i was or whatever. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. And this one doesn't like doesn't have a happy ending.
No.
Because Morehouse then starts to attack Officer Smith at that point and be like, why didn't
you help me when I was getting beat?
Right.
But he should have.
He should have understood.
It's like, man, I can't help.
What am I going to do?
I can't help you.
Right.
Right. I would have died. Yeah. It's like, man, I can't help. What am I going to do? I can't help you. Right. I would have died.
Yeah, it's five of them and two of us.
We all get killed.
What are you talking about?
He ends up going into a mental institution
and he's accused of killing all of the other cops.
Yeah, it ends with him in a cell
and they're like, yeah, he's a homicidal maniac.
Killed three cops in one night so
they like pinned the
the murders on him
not a happy ending
well is the moral of the story that you
can't change the police force
from within
I think that's safe to say
that's what's gonna happen to you
Jesus Christ
reform from within not gonna happen that is yeah that's that's going to happen to you? Yeah. Jesus Christ. Reform from within. Not going to happen.
Oh, my.
That is.
Yeah, that's that's really upsetting.
I want to see the zombie makeup, though.
I'm really curious.
Zombie makeup is good.
You got to Google that.
I'm going to Google it.
The next one is called Boys Do Get Bruised.
And it's about a little kid who's like a sensitive dude, sensitive little kid who shows up at
school with like bruises and so his teacher and like the guidance counselor the principal is like what
happened because they're investigating for child abuse and stuff and he keeps saying the monster
like he's like the monsters beat me up they're like all right but if you can't if you don't like
who's the monster if you don't tell us right and he says he says my they ask if it's his dad like did your dad do that and he says my dad's dead and so we're like hmm he's like no
it's the monster and the monster came when my dad left yeah which is like what's this it's also like
kid come on man if you want to get out of this situation right right right you need to talk to
us here right and so he gets into a fight at school these bullies uh these bullies
like are messing with him and he gets into a fight and gets in trouble and they see that he
got a bruise on his face but that wasn't from that that's how that's how that's found out right and
then he's but he's always drawing these pictures and so they're like we draw like you know make
people like draw them the people who make you feel
bad or whatever, draw them. And so
he draws the
bully, a school-to-school bully,
and, like, crumples
it up, and then it cuts to, like,
that kid is being taken away in a stretcher.
He broke both of his arms and both of his legs.
Yeah, he broke all of his bones
from falling down the stairs. So this
crumpling up this paper really
and he like says that before style like a voodoo doll that you like crumple in it
he like says something before like if i draw the monster and burn it that'll defeat the monster
and we're obviously like well that no that's not gonna work but then he crumples up this paper and
this kid breaks his arms and his legs and falls down the stairs.
What?
Another one of the teachers is like,
I don't know how he broke both his arms and both his legs in one day. He must have got
some weak bones.
The boy's got weak bones.
What are the chances, really?
Yeah. So,
later, his teacher,
who was played by Rusty Cundiff, who directed
the movie, who wrote and directed the movie, Rusty Cundiff. He's a comedy guy from back in the day. He's been bad a bad fall his teacher who was played by rusty kundif who directed the movie he wrote and directed rusty kundif he's a comedy guy from back in the day he's he's been in a few
things uh and he goes to the house and uh he tries to like talk to the mom and be like there's a
problem here like your son is showing up with bruises and stuff and like talking about the
monster he keeps saying this monster thing and
she reprimands him we've seen a little bit of the monster at this point too like we see
the little boy is walter in his in his bed at night we've seen kind of this claw coming out
of his closet and heard growls and stuff so we've we've seen it yeah but not fully not fully just
like his hand coming around yeah his little hand yeah and yeah
obviously the mom is yeah she's like she's afraid yeah which also want him to talk about it another
commentary another commentary reading the commentary bell and so the mom is like stop
don't talk about it you know this gonna hurt us both basically right because the monster and so then uh mr garvey is leaving
that's the teacher's name and then uh her boyfriend comes in his name is carl no relation
and he uh he starts you know that he starts talking to him and basically the dude is like
i'll talk to my family like you can like you know being like we
immediately get a a bad a bad vibe here you know at that point that this is the monster like yeah
he's like i have it under control yeah and so uh he's leaving but little does he know that uh
walter has already uh drawn a picture of the monster he drew a picture of the monster because the teacher
told him to draw it and so now the teacher's leaving he's like carl has kicked the teacher out
mr garvey out and he starts to hit the little kid and then the mom intervenes and he starts
hitting her and then the teacher sees this and so he goes back in and starts you know trying to whip
that ass and defending the mom and the little boy and
you know the monster's getting the best of
him getting the best of him but then yes
it's it's it's violent I
would say it's like quite a
quite yeah he hits them
so many times it went on for quite a
while I was very yeah
wait is the monster like
it doesn't it's no it's just
it's just it's played by David Allen Greer.
And they, like, specifically
cast someone who had, like, only played
kind of nice parts before.
So, no.
It just looks like him.
He doesn't look like a monster. It was crazy to see David Allen Greer
in that part. He doesn't
look like a monster at that point.
But then, Walter
runs back in when he's fighting the teacher and fighting the mom.
Walter runs back in with the picture and just folds that arm one time.
So he's about to get the teacher with a pot and his arm just goes like.
Ben's like a noodle.
It snaps right back.
And then he starts folding it some more.
And they're like, yeah, keep folding the picture.
And so he keeps folding it and like, you know, balls it it up and he's like on the floor and like this ridiculous like
just like bending i'll get you all the wrong ways this isn't over and then they put the paper on the
stove and burn the stove and so he sets on fire and that's when we go back to the funeral home
and see he's like see this burnt corpse inside of a... Charred.
Yeah. Charred out. Charred out.
So that is a happy ending.
Yeah, that's true.
I'm also seeing
what you were saying, Sammy, where it's like
the real life
things that are happening are very
scary, but then the solution
to the real life scary thing
is campy and kind of ridiculous
I'm just imagining that this guy
being crumpled up is a little
silly it is silly
yeah um but yeah
child abuse is not silly
not silly domestic violence is
not silly
uh so
the next one is
KKK comeuppance oh jesus christ
and uh this one is this one is the one that we were talking about a little earlier with the
puppet and stuff like that so okay basically this dude moves into this house this racist senator
who's like a former member of the ku klux klan kind of like a loose david duke yeah his name is
duke his name his name is Duke
Metger and it's actually a mix of two KKK members David Duke and Tim Tim Tom Metzger yeah so yeah
he's definitely meant to be those guys okay mixed together yeah so he moves into this house and like
a bunch of like Jewish and black people like are like, you know, fighting against him. And he moves into he set up an office in a plantation and in a plantation house.
And this plantation house has this like has this mural on the wall with all these little pictures with this like one big picture of like a woman who's like,
with this like one big picture of like a woman who's like,
I guess like a matriarch of these kind of slave people. Right.
And,
uh,
and all the little like people painted are the slaves who lived on the
plantation.
And so he's like getting frustrated with everything.
And then one night he started,
he like smacks the,
the picture of the old lady with something.
And it starts to bleed bleed the wall starts to be
on the mouth and then at that point he's like walking past it and he noticed a blank spot
on the picture oh yeah one of one of the dolls is missing we've seen a little peek at the doll
like when he first moved in, we saw kind of
underground because he's just talking like
super disrespectfully and just like
he doesn't give a fuck. He's KKK
remember? He's not gay.
And we see like
a doll kind of come up
from underneath the floor
boards. Like we've gotten a little
teaser of it. Can you tell me
more about what this doll looks like?
It looks like a doll? Like a straight up doll?
Well, I mean, imagine, I guess, Team America.
It's like that kind of puppetry.
It's like a kind of clay.
I don't know how to describe it.
I don't know why I'm fixated on what the doll looks like.
Do you remember Lil Penny from those Nike commercials?
Like Lil Penny Hardaway that was voiced by
Chris Rock, like back in the 90s?
The basketball player Penny Hardaway?
I feel like I do. These were popular commercials, Penny Hardaway that was voiced by Chris Rock, like back in the 90s? The basketball player Penny Hardaway? This is ringing.
I feel like I do.
These were popular commercials, even if you weren't like a basketball fan.
But like, mid-90s, it looked like one of those dolls.
Yeah.
But it's like Team America style, like.
Okay.
Okay.
Claymation, but also like they were small.
They were tiny.
Yeah, they're small.
They're like, you know.
All right, I'm getting it now.
I'm trying to, because I was like like there are too many different types of dolls
in my imagination there are too many and if you picture the wrong kind it's really gonna fuck up
your whole understanding yeah okay okay got it he takes this doll and they fight the doll's trying
to eat him he gets a couple bites in uh but they're tiny little He takes this doll and they fight. The doll's trying to eat him. He gets a couple bites in.
But they're tiny little doll bites.
He's fighting this tiny little doll.
Oh, I forgot that it bites him.
That's right.
Yeah.
Like, kip, kip, kip, kip.
And he finally gets the best of the doll.
He attaches it to a dartboard.
And he takes his shotgun out and he shoots the doll.
That's excessive.
It's a tiny little doll.
Yeah.
that's excessive it's a tiny little doll and then when he looks
when he looks back over
at the
painting all of the
slaves are gone
now
the dolls are coming for him
the dolls are coming out
and they get that ass
and they eat him
do they really?
yeah they eat him do they really? yeah they eat him
oh
to be eaten
so slowly
by a bunch of
tiny tiny tiny bites
would
yeah
bad way to go
and then
the big
the woman who was like
big in the picture
was like this
hoodoo witch
named Miss Cobbs
and she
manifests
in the room
holding
like the doll the first
doll that he shot in her arms
so
yeah and now
the dealers are like this
is some bullshit
they're losing their patience
please let us get our drugs we gotta get out
of here we need our drugs
enough with these stories
and then he's like one more
though one more check out check out this one you guys do you guys recognize this body in this in
this court yeah yep and they were like oh yeah i think it's somebody we've seen around the neighborhood
a little bit and so basically this is the story of crazy k and crazy k is a is a gang member
he's homicidal he he kills people and he's driving down like he's driving down the street in his car
and he gets upon he stumbles upon a rival gang member and in the hood is called getting caught
slipping that other dude got caught
slipping he's just like out getting a burger or something but his rival is right there and now
that dude's like i'm about to kill you and so he goes over he gets into an argument with him and he
shoots him and then but three dudes come out of a house and they see this happen i guess they're
in the same gang as the guy that crazy k just shot and they
come out and they shoot crazy k but then the police arrive and the police shoot those three
guys and crazy k survives this whole thing and like goes to jail though because he just shot
this dude so he survives the whole thing he goes to jail and he got a life sentence because uh he's
killed a bunch of people they finally like caught this guy he's killed like a bunch of people
and so he arrives there and he gets transferred to another like another like basically like in
the hole or the shoe or something is what that's called in prison
and he meets this uh he meets this white supremacist in there and basically the white
supremacist is like you like you need protection in here you might as well join us and he and he
said some racist shit to him and and he's like man i'm not about to join you blah blah like you
racist blah blah he's like you killed just as many black people as i killed this is the commentary ring the commentary bell but this is the commentary that i have a bit
of an issue with we'll talk about this once we get over uh so he punches him in the face and then
like the man asked like what's all the races of the people that you killed and crazy kid gets
silent because he's like you you're more dangerous to your people than i am like you're killing
yourself blah blah blah and so then
this doctor who put him in that cell now taking him around and like she like has like this she's
like i have a rehab situation that i can you know make you understand the ways that you've done so
she takes him and puts him in like this machine that like ties him up and it's like a torture chamber type machine and yeah i hate that
exposure therapy no no no no seeing all these images yeah no not a fan and so like they and
then he sees all these images like you know kkk lynchings and and you know gang violence and all
the stuff that he's been put into and like how he kills his own people without thinking about it.
And it's like a,
like a sensory deprivation chamber.
And then he's confronted with all the souls of his victims.
Like,
like,
uh,
all these people we kill,
like kids that he accidentally killed in like drive-bys that shouldn't happen.
And so like he hints like at how his,
you know,
violent violence is like, he had a nightmarish childhood, which, you know, happens why people act the way they do and stuff like that.
And then like he feels like he got redemption and he gets like zapped back to the moment where he was first shot before he went to jail.
to the moment where he was first shot before he went to jail and what it turns out is those three dudes that killed him that shot him did actually kill him and that was all like in his mind
everything that he saw was in his mind and they did kill him and then they were then they were
killed by the cop and so at this point these guys are like real pissed off.
Back at the funeral parlor.
Yeah.
And they're back at the funeral parlor.
And they basically, Mr. Sims, Clarence Williams. Mr. Sims, yeah, yeah.
He's like, you guys did this.
Yeah, go look in this room.
Yeah, go look in the room.
And they open up.
They was like, we need to get these drugs.
Oh, shit, I gave away something.
We need to get these drugs.
And they pull out guns.
They pull out guns.
And they're like, we need to get these drugs.
You bullshit, Mr. Sims.
And he's like, well, all right, the drugs are all in those three caskets right there.
And they open them up.
And each one that opens them up, they realize it was them.
sims says this line that is like the the uh basically the line that was the iconic line from this movie like after you killed crazy k a few of his boys killed you and i was like
everybody used to say that all the time so if you quote anything you quote anything from this movie
you can say that after you killed crazy k a few few of his boys killed you. And so they find out
that they're dead and
that this
place that they're in, this funeral home,
is hell. And Mr. Sims
is the devil. Holy
shit. It's like so
it was so unexpected
for me where he just is like
he says, welcome to hell,
motherfuckers and he
morphs into like the typical satan like horns sprout out as the walls fall down and like
fire it's like they're in like flaming hell and he becomes like a huge satan man
and that's the end of the movie yeah oh my god they didn't even know they were dead. They thought they were still alive
the whole time
going to get these drugs.
But what it actually was
was them going to hell.
Oh.
Because they killed.
That's also fun that
at least for like a short while,
Satan's idea of a fun
with somebody is to be like,
I'm going to make them really bored.
Yeah.
And I'm going to just,
I'm going to see how many stories i can tell them before they
get really mad about it mr sims was a real highlight for me i really liked him wait what
wait so carl what's your commentary i want to hear your commentary well it's something that
we're kind of just discovering now not discovering now but kind of like is more open now but there's this you know the the the
reason why violence is a thing in america's poor neighborhoods or ghettos or whatever you want to
call them and stuff like that it's all because of the system that is already set up and stuff like
that so i really hate this this and this isn't saying it's exactly but i really hate the blaming
it's almost victim blaming in a way yeah like I'm not trying to say that people who murder people should not be held
accountable.
Right.
But that's not a quote.
You can't equate that with like a racist KKK person.
Exactly.
And it's like this whole,
like,
and I hear black people say this a lot of this,
like,
we can't expect justice until we stop killing ourselves.
And it's like,
well,
let's stop saying that.
Right. Because that doesn't mean like, well, let's stop saying that. Right.
Because that doesn't mean.
That's what they want you to think.
Yeah.
Everybody kills themselves.
Let's stop.
Everybody does this.
Black on black crime is not a real thing.
It's just.
It's the same thing as white on white crime.
The same thing as Latino on Latino crime.
It's the same thing.
It's all the same thing.
So let's stop saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got to stop killing ourselves for them to respect us because they don't treat white killers the same yeah right like also that's it
didn't start there like that's not the origin of all of the problems that we're having yeah
when you when you when you take every resource out of an out of a place and everybody is desperate
of course they're gonna harm each other so like because they're desperate so you know that's the commentary that i'm like we gotta we gotta
stop pushing this narrative of right we gotta stop killing ourselves to earn a little bit of
respect no they have to respect us yeah yeah the two are they're related but they're not
yeah they're not one doesn't like uh yeah the same. One doesn't, like, yeah, invalidate the other. Yeah.
Well, it's also impossible for individuals to change their situation if the system that they're living in makes it really difficult to do anything differently.
Right.
Yeah.
And, yeah, there's just, oh, my God.
yeah there's just oh my god there's no like individual's responsibility to like if you're just calmer or if you're just you know if you make better choices on an individual level the
entire system will be better forever like no yeah it's literally not true right yeah
oh man this was honestly i was not expecting that ending. I wasn't either.
I'm shocked.
I was shocked.
We don't spoil the movie. You know what's happening now.
You know what's happening in the future.
That's the only way they'll watch them.
I like to know
if I'm going to go in.
I hear it and then I go, can I watch it?
Okay, maybe I can.
They still never do. I go, can I watch it? Okay, maybe I can. But then they still never do.
I never do.
I do sometimes.
I do sometimes.
Oh, that's true.
She watched Hereditary a little bit.
And I watched Us also.
After we talked about it?
After we talked about it.
Okay.
Did it help you to know what was coming?
Definitely.
Definitely.
All right.
So two out of the 49 movies with that
we've done not bad good track record that's what i haven't seen i bought a ticket i bought a ticket
to it just to support but i have not seen that movie and i don't plan on it did you get too
scared you know yeah i Get Out, of course.
And that was more like I felt like that one had like a lot more commentary.
That was like one that I felt like I needed to see a little bit outside of the scary parts.
But Us was just like scary.
I was like, all right, I'm good.
I'll buy the ticket.
I went on Fandango, bought a ticket, but I'm not watching it.
We were trying to like derive meaning from it, too, when we did it on the podcast where we were trying to like derive meaning from it too when we
did it on the podcast where we were trying to figure
out what the commentary could be
and it's so ambiguous
and there
are so many things you can draw from
it which is kind of fun
I like movies that are like that
yeah it's kind of like a
Rorsach test I can't say
that word that's a tough word
where any any you know it says more about you um and how you see it than anything else right but um
i had to watch it after hearing about it and i watched it in the corner of my computer the top
corner during the daytime so i could yeah because it also minimizes it at any point. I mean, Get Out is scary
for sure, but Us
has a lot of stabbing
and scissors
and a lot more classic scary
stuff that I'm not trying to have any
part of.
It is scary, but it's good.
Eee!
So
they did make a Tales from the Hood 2 or they're going to make a Tales from the Hood 2?
I meant to look that up.
I know there is a Tales from the Hood 2, but I think there might even be a 3 coming.
I saw that it's maybe they're trying to make it a TV series.
But, you know, I didn't really look this up enough.
I'm sorry.
So I can't say for sure, but I think they are trying to make something.
I would be really interested. Another chapter.
What a 2020 version would
look like, because I do feel like, yeah,
that one story, the commentary
in it would probably
be different
made now than in 1995.
Yeah. So I would be curious
to see what vignettes are shown. I just
like these kind of anthology horror
things in general I've never seen it I've never seen
one I know there are other ones that like this like I know
VHS does this
but I kind of
just like this style of horror films where
it's like you get four horror
films in one I'm into it and so
yeah and they're all you know they got
their scary moments they got they're not all like
just like straight dog trash.
Yeah.
Like them.
I think, I think a lot of these movies get lower rated because like, frankly, a lot of
the critics, these type of movies don't speak to them.
Right.
And I don't think this movie was a 10 out of 10, but it definitely deserves better than
a four.
Like, what does it have on Rotten Tomatoes?
Yeah, it's low.
And I, yeah, that's why I like went into it being like, oh, it's like rated so low.
And I was, I had a good time.
And I was so like, I was really excited at the end.
I was like, this was, I had a good time watching this.
This is a Rotten Tomatoes problem though, Emily.
This is a Rotten Tomatoes problem.
Because my God, we watched um what's that fucking movie
called the old guard the other day rated well on rotten tomatoes and it was one of the least fun
movies i've ever and not because it was so bad it was just so deeply bad and i was really pissed off
well isn't i feel like i was lied to isn't the rating system on rotten tomatoes it's literally
just like white men in their 30s?
Basically.
That's the world.
That's the rating system of the world.
And the one black guy that always pops up is from a conservative magazine.
No!
From like the National Review or something like that.
Yeah, fuck that.
So, no.
We gotta start a new rating system, you guys.
So, it has here the tomato meter is 47%, but the audience score is 68.
That's where I would land it.
I would give it about 68 to 72.
That's what you said.
You said 6.5.
Well, I guess that was on the scary factor.
It was a scary meter.
On the good meter, also a 6.5.
6.5.
Great.
Just as scary as it is good.
It's just as scary as it is good.
And you know what?
I sort of need those to line up in
any movie. If it's not so scary and
not so good, I'm not going to watch it.
If it's really scary, it better be really
good. You know
what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do know what you mean.
So.
