I've written a letter to daddy.
Oh my god.
I've written a letter to daddy.
Oh my god.
I've had that song in my head all god damn day.
I hate that song so my head all goddame day. I hate that song so much.
His address is heaven above.
Ah!
Straight up, like my actual singing voice sounds just like old baby Jane.
Oh, old, raspy baby Jane.
I wish you were an MC and your name was old baby Jane.
It's never too late.
Instead of a stamp I put kisses.
Just like the postman said or no, God.
Postman says that's best to do.
People are listening to this right now and they're like, fuck this girl stop doing that. They're on the bus now, and they're like, fuck this girl, stop doing that.
They're on the bus, they're on the bus to work,
and they're like, oh my God.
They are stoked to be listening
to this episode of Weirwolf Ambulance, I'm Alan.
I'm baby Jane.
Old baby Jane.
Baby Jane. Big baby Jesus. OBJ is what they call me? How are you, Alan? I'm doing well, Katie.
How about yourself?
I'm fine.
This movie is really long.
I think I'm still watching it.
I know.
I don't think you'll ever be done watching it.
So this was our most listener reaction we've ever had to think.
So thia'a' thea' thee, this thing. I had no idea. I had no idea. I'm proud of you guys. You like an old-time good movie.
Yeah.
This is an old-time good movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This movie straight up starts with like, you want to see some shit?
It's like that jack in the box and the crying girl.
That's the first, like, to see some shit? Yeah.
Bring the motherfuckin' ruckus!
Yeah.
And she sings that nightmarish song.
The one I just can just back that up.
I've written a letter to Daddy.
God.
Why did I do that?
Like this is recorded forever, you know what I mean?
Once you put something on the internet you can't get it back.
Quick question about 1917 times.
Yeah.
Is this what passed for entertainment?
I have so many questions about that because it's like, so baby Jane is like, I don't
know, six, seven, doing this baby Jane
act where she's singing that song and she's got these little curls and a frilly dress, and
the audience is packed with adults.
Losing their minds.
It's like full until tomorrow's matinee or whatever, like kid stars were that big?
I mean, Shirley Temple was huge.
But... Granted, that was a little bit later. Yeah, but also, she was huge. Yeah, I guess so.
Like, doing movies with, you know, Fred Astaire or whatever. Like, she was, she was...
The Bee's Knees, like everybody loved her. Well, I guess that's baby. 22 Skadoo. 23 Skidu? I don't remember. It doesn't matter how many. the the the th. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She.

Well I guess that's baby Jane. 22 Skidoo. 23 Skidoo? I don't remember.
It doesn't matter how many Skidu. Doesn't matter. But yeah, in 1917, everyone wanted to see this little
girls scream out of this terrible song. Yeah, while her creepy dad plays, yeah, this piano.
Do we have any requests? Letter to daddy. Let her da da da da da. That's That's really what you weirdos want to hear right now.
Yeah, right?
Oh man, God bless television.
And that doll they're selling afterwards.
There's the one shot of her with the doll, like head to head.
Yeah.
That doll they're selling for $3.25, which I did an inflation calculation on, it's like $65 in today's money. That makes sense.
Yeah, it's huge.
It's huge doll.
And it was entirely posable, too.
Just great articulation.
Yeah.
It's really creepy.
Ah, so gross.
Yeah.
Then we see Baby Jane throwing that temper tangrown out of the studio. She wants ice cream. She wants ice cream. the ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice. And she wants ice ice. And I. And the ice. And the ice the ice the ice. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th th th th th thi, th- thi, thi, th- th- th- and it was, th- and it was, th- and it was th- and it was th- and it was th- and it was, th- and it was, th- and it was, th- and it was, th- and it was, th- and it was, th- and it was, th and it was, th and it was, th. And it was th. And it was th. And it was th. And it was thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i. And it was thi. And it was thi, th on baby Jane's side at this point. Ah, she's kind of acting a fool.
You did a show, though.
Get ice cream.
Yeah, you did a thing.
You deserve a thing.
Her dad is just totally like a pushover.
Yeah.
But yet, uh, the other daughter, And her mom's like, I want you to be better to them than they are you. And she's like, you betcha I won't forget.
And I was like, yeah, hold that grudge.
Hold it.
Hold a grudge forever.
That's how I feel.
Yeah, but to her complete and utter detriment.
Yes.
Sort of.
Well, I forgot about the twist of the end. from 1962. Yeah. Not like last week where we spoiled a movie from literally like six months ago.
It's on Netflix.
They know what they're getting into.
So then we go a little further into the future to 1934 and or 35.
What else?
And now we see that Blanche and Jane both have acting careers. And the studio goes, like, she's got a southern accent,
like I've got a southern accent.
And I was like, oh, that sounds like something we would say.
But he's like, I'm from New York.
She's got a southern accent like I've got a southern accent.
I like that guy.
Which is neat is that this movie stars Betty Davis and Joan Crawford, who were doing movies. Yeah. So th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that that th, that th, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's, that's, that's that's that's that's, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, oh, oh, oh, that's like, oh, that's like, oh, that's like, oh, oh, that's like, oh, that's like, that's like,. So they just took scenes from their actual movies. Yeah. Which I was like, oh man, what do you say about
Betty Davis's movies? Yeah, it's true. They hated each other too. Yeah, I was gonna say, do you have a hard time buying Joan Crawford as being like a... The Pl-upon? Yeah, yeah. Tina!
Bring me the axe!
Stepping outside of the movie for a second,
Betty Davis got nominated for best actress for this movie.
Yeah, she's perfect.
But so does Joan Crawford do.
Eh, I'm on team Davis.
But I mean, Joan Crawford is subtle.
Betty Davis is...
M-Dah-Daw- Joan Crawford is subtle, Betty Davis is, Meryl, so. Joan Crawford is chewing the scenery when, like, she need not.
That's how I feel.
So, Betty Davis basically just pretends it's the Betty Davis show.
It does not mention Joan Crawford in any of like,
the interviews leading up to this.
And as you can imagine, this infuriate Joan Crawford,
who, so when they're doing the Oscars, she talks to all of the women
who are nominated for best actress who aren't going to be there and it's like, hey, can
I accept for you?
Can I accept for you?
Which is, which is like, so big as dick?
Yeah.
But I was like, I'm kind of into it because I was like, you know, that's old-timey dickness. It is. So, somebody else wins and they're not there and Bairncroft.
And John Crawford accepts for and is totally shitty and awesome and it must have been just
like the most uncomfortable thing.
Yeah, I love it.
Also, Rob uses wire hangars in his closet and he's never seen mommy dearest and I'm
always yelling at him like, no wire hangars ever. And he just looks at me like he doesn't understand what I'm saying.
How is he not seeing Mommy Dearest? How was he using wire hangers?
I don't know. I don't know. They sell the plastic ones at Target. You just buy them.
Yeah. Although the spit guards that we have are made with wired colors.
Oh yeah.
Eppah!
God, John Crawford.
What a monster.
Although the woman who plays the daughter next door in this movie is Betty Davis's daughter.
Oh really?
And she also wrote a memoir saying that Betty Davis was an asshole.
I'm sure.
Yeah, whatever.
I mean, I'm sure all those people were.
I'm sure everyone who is in movies is an asshole, right? We're all like, oh, Tom Hanks, he's so nice. No, he's not.
He probably is.
I thought that Colin Hanks didn't get along with him.
Yeah, but I know some, Tom Hanks is nice.
Everybody likes Tom Hanks.
Maybe Colin Hanks should write him a letter.
To Daddy?
Come to Daddy.
Sh-Die.
The studio executives in 1935 are like,
you know, Jane is shit and we're so bum that Blanche put in her contract
that for every Blanche movie, there's got to be a Jane movie.
So there's a big party going on, it Blanches.
We see Blanche's car being driven up to a gate, someone gets out of the car and then
the car rushesthen the car rushes for it towards the gate.
Yeah you see you see a woman's hand like put it into gear and then hit the person in the gate.
Right which we are assuming is Jane hitting Blanche. Yeah. And as you can tell that may or may not be the truth.
Right. You won't find out for another two hours though, so hold your horses.
So then we skip ahead to yesterday, which I liked.
It wasn't present day, it was yesterday.
Yeah.
Which is 1962, Los Angeles and Blanche's chair-bound.
the wail-chai.
the wheelchair bound?
Thank you.
She's not going anywhere, but shebound, thank you. She's a severed her spine and an accident.
She's not going anywhere, but she's still wearing that cat eye.
Makeup.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's dressed to the nines every day.
Hair done up, the fuck.
And Jane is keeping her locked up in the house.
Yeah, they're like living order alcohol at one point in this movie
it says, and I don't know these, this is six bottles of scotch. It's six cases. I thought so.
Maybe she said bottles. But I thought she said bottles. I know there was a point at which we talked
about how many cases she had gone. Oh no maybe it was the studio guys. Yeah. There's There's several cases. So she orders six bottles of s bottles. the s bottles. th bottles. th bottles. th th th th th th th th th th th the s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s a s a s a s a s a s a s a s a s a s a s is six six six six six six six six six bottles of s s s s s is six bottles of s s is six this s is six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. tho. t. to. to. to. t. t. t. t. th. th. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the's several cases. So she orders six bottles of scotch and three bottles of gin, and I'm like, are you combining?
Are you combining them?
She seems to just be drinking straight liquor from drinking glasses at all times.
Oh, she's so good.
Betty Dave is so cool.
I love her Robert Smithian makeup that she has on.
I think I'm going to start doing like a heart shaped mole.
Please don't. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm. I'm. I th. I'm th.

Heart shaped thing birthmark or beauty mark? I have like a little
it's a birthmark right there that little one. I can turn that into a heart.
It's on the side of my nose. It'd be cool.
That'd be cool. And Jane is just a monster. I like, there's a thing that I really like about the way she moves in this movie. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the tote. the the. the. the, there's a thing that I really like about the way she moves in this movie where she's wearing like house slippers through a lot of it and
she's shuffling. I just love that it's such like an effective way to be like, I don't
give a fuck, you know what I mean? Fresh out of give a fucks. In my memory of this movie it took a long time for it to like build up to them fighting the way they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to took. took. took. took. took. I took took took. took took took took took took. took took took took took took took took took took took took took to to them fighting the way they, but it's like from the jump. Right. Although, to your credit,
there are 12 minutes of setup before the credits roll.
That's true.
That's true.
That's true.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah.
Blanche says something to Jane.
Like I can't even remember to see some curse words.
Yeah. So we go to the neighbor's house, which I just found out is Betty Davis's daughter. The daughter of the neighbor, the younger woman, yeah. And she's watching a Blanche,
Blanche Hudson movie. And mom comes in, she's like, oh, I love this movie. And they start talk
about the fact that they're neighbors with the Hudson sisters. And a little
point of set dressing, they have a Margaret Keane painting on the wall, which is
the big eyes woman, the Tim Burton movie. Oh, okay. It's like the little kid
with the huge eyes holding. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And it's just, it's fun to see how ubiquitous those paintings were that they made it into this movie. Totally. I
also like that this is an era where you can't just see a movie anytime you
want. Like they're showing all of Blanche's movies on TV. Yeah, that
the ti. And everyone seems to be really excited about it. Yeah. And it's like, oh, that was. that. Oh, oh, oh, that. That was. That was. Oh, that was. That was. That was. That was. that was. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this is is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. you wanted on TV, but now it seems so like, I wanted to see this movie.
I just, I just, I just found it, I just watched it, you know.
Do you remember taping songs off the radio?
Oh my god, yeah.
Yeah.
Rather, you would just sit there like, like, you know, like,
yeah. And then you would get some of the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, I. I. I. I. I. I to. I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I th. I th. I th. I. I. I. I. I. I th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just tape. I just taping. I just taping. I just taping. taping. taping. taping. taping. I just taping. I just taping. I just taping. I just taping. I just taping a song with a boom box off of the television. Wow. Because no radio stations were going to play like, you know, whatever, dumb song I wanted
to listen to.
Yeah, I was going to ask, did you, you're born in 84?
Yeah.
So you always lived in like VHS world.
I remember getting a VCR. Okay. Yeah. But I mean, I was very, very young. But even then it was like, if you missed an episode of a TV show that you were watching,
it was gone.
It was gone.
Maybe you would see it over the summer, you know?
Right, right.
But like, it was pretty thrown.
That's such a crazy thinne.
That's such a crazy thinneau, because everything's just at your fingertips. like a replay online. Sure. It's crazy. Yeah, yeah. I mean you can go and immediately watch things on YouTube. Yeah. They're immediately up on YouTube.
Like, yeah. But there's a lot of things in this movie that I'm like, do people
know what a rotary dial phone is at this point? Like, yeah, it's a lot of crazy shit.
Like, do they know about cars? they know about cars? Yeah above the ground. And they don't, oh, I'm in the future. Do I not mention this to you guys? No, yeah, no, no.
Yeah, I'm from the future and I know about hover cars.
Oh, cool, cool.
Are they, are they awesome?
Do they drive themselves?
Because I'm really sick of dha, this is totally useless to you. Like, you will never, you will literally never see this.
I saw a kid pushing one of those, uh,
those like kid push mowers that are like the popping things.
The poppers, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, who's, we gotta get through it. Well, you know what, though, not a lot happens that we really, I mean, it builds and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds, and builds effectively, but there's not a lot of thin-bills and the tris.
thi-Binds and builds, and it builds effectively, but that comes by. I wish I knew an Elvira in real life. She's so radical.
She's cool.
She's just like, fucking, no nonsense and like.
Yeah, but she makes some bad choices
that I want to get into.
Like, when Jane sends her way and she's like,
I guess I have the day off, then, bye.
Like, you know what's going on because you've th you've th you've th.
this. Yeah, yeah, go check it out. Yeah, I do have the note like, I'll ever call the cops. Yeah, or somebody called, yeah. Yeah. There's a lot
of that in this movie though, where like Blanche is hanging out the window and
the neighbor is down like working on her garden and she's like gonna toss her a
note and I was like just yell to her say, hey. For some reason she just goes, help me? She yeah, yeah, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she has, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. the, thi, thus, thus, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th is is th is a th is a th is a th is a th is a th. There, is a the is a the is a the is a thean, thean, is a thea. thea. thea. theea. the. the. There's a the. There's a the. Yeah, she has a voice. We've heard it. Help me? She also is like really impatient with that buzzer.
Like, what if James pooping?
You know what I mean?
She's super impatient with it.
She's got to have the whiskey shiots at this point.
And there's someone she trying to.
When she's trying to ask the neighbor for help, there thi thiiii the th thi, when thi, when thi, when thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi, thi, thi, thi's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's thi, thi, thi help. There's like this really weird upbeat music playing. Do you remember that? It was like almost like...
I thought it was that the daughter was inside
listening to loud music.
Oh, maybe that's what it is.
Okay, maybe.
Because it was like kids music for 1962.
Oh, well, that explains where we see the bird.
And I, that in my mind was at the end of the movie that was like at the climax.
No, it's in like our one.
Blanche has a bird that she really loves that lives in her room with her, the one room that Planch lives in.
I feel like I would refuse to be kept upstairs if I was in a wheelchair.
I'd be like, no. I'll be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll th th th th th th thi I'll thi I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll th, I' th, I' th, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it th, it th, it th, it th, it th. It th. It th. It th th th th th th thi, it thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's like, it's like, it's like, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thin, thi. It's like thin, thi. It's like thin, th thi. It's like, thi. It's like, it's in thi. It's in down here. It's my house, so no.
But she's always deferring to Jane. Yeah.
And we find out why later.
And Jane takes it out to clean the cage
and just murders the bird.
Yeah, she comes back, she's like, it flew out the window.
And then it's sorry.
Instead, she serves it to her sister on like a under a cloche like for lunch.
Well on a bed of tomatoes.
Yeah, the one she serves with a dead rat.
It's on a bed of tomatoes too.
And I was like, did you slice all those chain?
That's a waste.
A little pepper and salt, those things are gonna be delicious.
Not any more.
You put a rat on the whole time?
Or is it just like when we come in yesterday?
It must have been because Blanche is trying to get Jane into a hospital.
We learned from her conversation with Elvira, or at least under a doctor's care while
Blanche moves out.
And yeah, and she's selling the house because they're running low on money because neither
of them, although Blanche is having a resurgence, because television. Yeah, she's definitely getting monthly checks, we learned at the bank later, so.
Because all of her movies are popular again.
Yeah. Of course, Jane is jealous because she wants to be popular.
Because she made movies the same time and they're not.
Her thing is that everyone else has kept her down, like, nothing's ever her fault, you know, and I think we all th th th th th th th th thi all thi all thi all thi all thi all thi all thi all thi all thi all thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, because thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. thi, th. th. th. th. th... th. thi, because, thi, because, thi, thi, thi, because, thi, thi, because, because, thi, thi, because, thi, because, to, to, to, to, to, because, to, to, to, to, to, to, toeeean, because, to, toeean, to thi,think we all know one of those people. Yeah, so they keep upping the, like,
Jane is doing psychological warfare on Blanche
by fucking with her food.
Blanche is terrified to eat now.
Yeah, so she basically starves her out.
Yeah.
And meanwhile, Jane is trying to have a resurgence of her career by hiring Edwin, a pianist, who the scene with him and his mother are like perfect.
They're so great.
She's so great.
And he shows up to interview for this job and he like does a British accent.
He's like, he must have noticed I'm British.
Imagine interviewing for a job with a fake accent.
You could never let it go.
Instead his mom's British though, right? She's sort of cockney, but he does not have a British accent.
He's British-esque.
Yeah, I can't have a...
Yes.
Uh, wasn't there a...
There was like an MBR story about a guy who pretended to be like an African foreign exchange student,
even though he was from like Milwaukee?
What? Really? Really? an African foreign exchange student even though he was from like Milwaukee and like went to college and had to keep up this bullshit.
That's crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a horrible way to live.
Yeah, I know.
Well, at first he was like, this is funny.
Oh God, it's not funny anymore.
It's not funny anymore.
It's like a bad Craigslist meet up when they get to get together though, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their. And he's immediately like, oh God, she's fucking terrible. There's so many daddy issues in that room, though.
You can see that they're almost like drawn together, you know?
Yeah, he's looking because his mom can't work,
so there's no income in his house.
So he's looking her to Jane as a cash cow.
Yeah.
And she's got money.
She's trying to spend to spend spend spend spend to spend to spend to spend the to spend, yeah. We find out later that she's forging checks.
Yeah.
And like copying Blanche's signature off of old promos, like photos of her.
Yeah, it's working.
It is working.
And she does an impeccable impersonation.
Her voice is so good.
That's how you know Betty Davis is the best.
Well, I was listening and I was like, oh, did they just swap them? No, it's her doing it. Yeah, because she's better, the better of the two.
Which led me to believe that off camera,
she had to be doing junk,
Oh, yeah, she's just fucking with her.
Totally making fun of her.
Totally making fun of her.
There's also, in that scene, where she's talking to take care of that should take about a week or so and it's like very chilling because you know she's talking about
starving her sister to death yeah like it's just this we had question whether
or not this is a horror movie and it still really probably isn't it's like
I was listed everywhere it was listed everywhere it was in my
encyclopedia horror movies yeah fine but it's moments like that where you're you're just like it's like hick logical logical logical a a a a a a a a a a a like a like a like a like a like a like a wh wh wh wh wh like it's like a like a like a like a like a h like a h like a h like a h like a h like a h like a wh. it's like a little like a little like a little like a little like a little like like like like a little like like like like like like like like a little like a little like like a. where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where. like. like. like. where. where. where. where. where. where. where. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. Oh, fine, fine. But it's moments like that where you're just like, ugh.
Yeah, it's definitely hitchcocky in that.
For sure.
For sure.
And like something I want to talk about at some point, but I'll just do it now, is,
the first time I watched this was, you know, years ago, maybe 15 years ago.
And I like, like, this movie's kind of fun because she's a maniac. Yeah. And this time, I found myself really drawn to Joan Crawford
and being like, this movie is miserable.
It's the saddest thing ever.
Yeah.
Because it's just watching a woman like die.
That scene where she eats the chocolates out of the drawer.
Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much my life right now, but that's how I that's how.
That's how I look when I eat. No, that's like really, really depressing.
Yeah, yeah.
And just the, just, you know, yeah, it's very, very,
I felt like somewhat akin to when we did,
oh God, was the case of Deborah Logan or what was the movie?
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
I can't remember the name. The taking of Deborah Logan. I would never have come up with that, not, not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tho, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. thi, thi, thi, th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. thi, I that, I that, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the. that's that's thea, thea, thea, the. come up with that, not in 10 years.
But how you like really like stuck into like the elder abuse and the like abuse of an Alzheimer's patient and all that stuff, like I was kind of feeling like the same vibes off of Joan Crawford off of Blatch in this of like she's trapped, she's stuck and no one will help her. Every turn that she makes to like get help, like calling the doctor, she's thwarted. She, like she, like she, she, she, she, she's like, she's, she's, she's like, she's, she's like, she's, she's the doctor. She's the doctor. She's the doctor. She's the doctor. She's the doctor. She's the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. She's stuck. She's stuck. She's like, she's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they. She's, they. She's, they. She's, they. She's, they's, they's, they's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like get help, like calling the doctor, she's thwarted.
Like she calls the doctor's office and convinces him to come, the doctor is supposed to be like so good and he like can't figure out what's going on over the phone.
Like this clear this woman's being abused. So he says he'll come over, she hangs up the phone and Jane has overheard her. Yeah. So she, Jane calls the doctor's like, okay, okay, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to, th, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, the doctor, the doctor, the doctor, the doctor, the doctor's, the doctor's, the doctor's, the doctor's, she, the doctor's, the doctor's, she, she, she, she, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's, she's the doctor, she's, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, she's the doctor, the doctor, the doctor, the doctor's thi's tho, tho, thooo, thi. She's thooooo', she's the doctor's the doctor's the doctor's the doctor's the doctor's the doctor's So Jane calls the doctor back and does the Blanche voice.
And like the doctor's like, oh, OK, well, never mind then.
I guess if she decided to do something else, then fine.
And it's like, oh, God.
You know?
He's like a Charles Grodin doctor in Rosemary's baby level, like I don't give a shit
about what this woman saying. Yeah. the fact, th. th. th. th. thia thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's, thi's, thi, thi's, thi's, the fact, the fact, the fact, thi, thi, the the the the the thi, the doctor's, the doctor's, the doctor's, the doctor's, the doctor's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thiiiiiiiiiii. the thiiiiiiii. the the thi. th've, uh... It's literally three minutes later.
We found another doctor.
Oh, you've got another doctor?
Okay, then.
All right, bye.
Forget it then.
They almost didn't have time to make another phone call in that period.
Yeah, it's like, everyone in this movie is so gullible.
Even Elvira falls for it, even like the woman at the bank who's like, oh, 50s and 120s then? Yeah. 50s of that scoundrel, Ulysses has Grant on them.
And like for being such a neb shit, the neighbor is so useless.
So useless.
She's nebbing into everything and she doesn't do anything to help.
Without a doubt, I knew you were going to call her a nib. Do you know I was going to call her ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne nib that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's an old that's an old that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. that's an th. th. th. th. going to call her a neb. Do you know I was going to call her neb shit?
No, that was a good one.
That's an old Pittsburgh.
Because there's so...
Also, my phone will not auto correct neb shit anymore.
It just accepts it as a word.
I was very excited.
I typed cliff Burton into my phone and it automatically generated Burton after it.
I typed cliff. automatically generated Burton after it. I was like, I won.
I typed Cliff Burton so many times. Why?
I'm just talking about it.
Just googling him constantly.
See me back yet?
That base a little bit.
It's so good.
Should we get to what happened to Elvira?
So rough.
Why is El Vira put that hammer down?
Sorry. Elvira, um, chose up to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cl cla, the the the the the the the the thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thifififiuiffiffia. thiffia. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifififfiberfiberfibertipira put that hammer down. Sorry.
Elvira shows up to the house.
Jane's like, take the day off.
I did all the cleaning.
Here's $15.
And then Ovara's like, I guess, all right.
I mean, who doesn't want to not work?
I want to not work.
I want to getthe bus stop she's like you know what this is bullshit and she goes back to the house because she's concerned about Blanche and she well I like
her little ruse of being like I don't have the keys and then you see her
like walked on the driveway and take the key you know pull the keys out of
which makes anything that she was always hip to it yeah like the the. Walking to the bus was just a ruse. She did that because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because because that that that that that that that the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the the the the the the the the they. they. the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah................ I...... I.. I. I.. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. th. I. I. th. I. th. I. I. I th. I. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th that was a ruse and she like waits for the bus to go by and it hides the car and she walks away. But then why did she let this happen a few days earlier?
Like the day earlier or whatever like why didn't she I don't know whatever?
So she goes back into the house and she finds that Jane or Blanche is locked in her room.
So she gets a hammer and a screwdriver to knock the hinges out of the door. Which is so smart I I I I I I I I I I I I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi's thi's tho- tho- tho- thus thus thus thus thus thathea thathea th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the theeeeeea thea thea theea thea thea thea thea thea the the the th screwdriver to knock the hinges out of the door. Which is so smart, I wouldn't know to do that.
That's why they said old Vyra to do this.
Yeah, I guess so.
I'd be like, eh.
You never had to break into a room or anything?
Not that I can think of it.
I had a door that like would lock itself.
Yeah. So I had to like, I would have to take it off its hinges to get it back open. Very annoying. I think I'm more of just a run at it till it breaks
kind of person. I'm not good with tools. So she's trying to take the hinges off
and which seems to take her forever because Blanche or Jane comes home and is like...
Every time Jane leaves it seems to only be for four minutes. Either that or Blanche has just taken her sweet time with everything.
I know she's moving slowly due to her snapped spine and everything, but never mind.
She needs to work on that upper body strength.
I know. I know. I thought that when she was going down the stairs. I was like, come on.
Yeah. Just slide on your booty. Yeah. I mean, I'm just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just to that. Just just to to that. Just just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the. the th. don't know what you can do. I know. What do I know? I'm a moron.
So Elvira's like, Jane opened the door.
I want to see what's going on.
Jane gives her the key.
They open the door and see that Blanche is tied up with her arms up.
On her like pool cord that she uses to pull herself in and out of her mouth gagged. And I was like, how bad would your hands hurt from being tied up for, oh, it's been a week?
Has it been a week?
Yeah, we find out that it's been a week
that she's been in there.
Oh, wow.
And I was like, and all these thoughts just flooded
in, I was like, is Blanche giving her,
or is Jane giving her water? Ah, yeah. And so Elvira is staying there going, what?
And Jane walks in with the hammer.
Yeah, the Elvire had put down on the table, like don't put the hammer down.
Guys, pro tip, don't put the hammer down.
Don't put the hammer down.
You bring the hammer down.
So Jane, yeah, beats her to death with the hammer.
Yeah, just in front of Blanche. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. Yeah, just in front of Blanche. Like, this was your chance to get free.
And the stakes just like are ratcheted up at that point, yeah.
Because now it's murder times.
Yeah.
As if the slow murder wasn't enough.
So Jane wheels Elvira's body out in Blanche's wheelchair and dumps her.
their body, they say.
Yeah, yeah.
But this movie also features one of the hallmarks of horror movies, which is inept police
work.
Oh, God damn it.
Because at one point, the cops bring Edwin Flagg to the door.
Yeah.
We're all drunk.
He's all...
I don't know.
Because. I don't know because the last time we saw him he was eating cereal with half and half so I don't know He was did you notice that? I do not cornflakes with half and half that's the thickest thing
I know why would you do that was eggnog not available?
Yeah, he's hammered and saying things like who's happy? Which I like? Because the cop is like, he's not drunk, he's happy.
Who is happy?
And then he does that, here comes the super chief routine?
I don't know what that meant.
I don't know what there.
But Jane stupidly lets him in the house.
Yeah. Well, she's like, he's my friend.
We're friends.
And was there like a romantic connotation to her interest in him as well? I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.. I. I. I. I. I. I. th, I. th, I. th, I. th, I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, I, I, I, I, I th. And, I th. And, I th. And, I th. th. th. th. tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, thi. And thi. And th. And friends. And was there like a romantic connotation
to her interest in him as well?
I don't think so.
I think that she just thought like,
oh, someone's paying attention to me
because he's buttering her the whole time just to get money.
But to her, it's like someone is paying attention to her.
Gotcha, gotcha. And he discovers thinks So Jane gives him a present,
which is a Jane doll, a baby Jane doll.
And she's like, this is my personal one.
I used to give it to all my friends.
And he's like sitting there and like stroking it and being like,
ah, who's happy?
And so he puts himself in the wheelchair,
wraps the blanket around himself,
just like the blanket that Ovar's body was taken out in, and has the doll sitting between his legs,
he's like wheeling himself around the house.
He goes down the steps going, here comes the Super Chief.
Oh, it's a train.
The Super Chief is a train.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That makes more sense.
That doesn't, it doesn't make sense. But he, and she sees him and like bugs out. Yeah.
And so he figures that, I can't remember exactly how he figures out that, uh...
I think Blanche knocks the table over and there's a crash.
And he's like, what is that?
And he runs up the stairs and Jane's like, nothing, it's nothing.
And he's in the living room that has all pictures of Jane in it.
Oh, that's right. That's right.anche's room also has all pictures of Blanchett. I noticed that. I thought like how
masturbatory of these two. Yeah. Yeah, they're both narcissists, you know? For sure.
This is where I have the note Jane kind of sucks. She doesn't though. She's the best. She's such a great villain.
And she's such a sad villain too, you know? Yeah, for sure. Because you're
watching her get further and further into this madness of like, like she goes up
to Blanche's room. Blanche is tied up. She has tied Blanche up. Yeah. And she's like, Blanche,
you have to help me. What are we going to do? Like he's gonna tell? Like, lady, what are you ta? Yeah, and that's th. th. th. th. th. L. th. L. L. L. that's that's that's th. that's th. th. that's th. that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thee. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. thee. the. th. th yeah. And he runs out of the house, right?
Or does she...
He runs out of the house.
Yeah, so that's when she's going to Blanche.
To Blanche, yeah.
And Blanche, and Jane brings up the accident.
And Blanche is like, about the accident.
And Jane's like, you always want to talk about the bad things and you're like, this lady crazy. Yeah, I love her.
I think she's fantastic.
And there's the earlier, there's the great scene
where Blanche is like trying to get to the phone,
which is the next floor down from hers.
And it takes her like 20 minutes to go down the steps
and it's really tense and really well, well shocked. Did you feel like you would have just the th, th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the great, the great, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the, the the the, the the the the the, the the, the the the the the the, they, thr, thrown, thrown, thro, like, like, like, thro, thro., thea, thea, throo., thea, thea, thea, thr-s, throwing yourself down the stairs? Yeah. I think I would like try to like belly crawl down the steps or something.
Scoot, yeah.
It seems like if you put your legs down first, you could have just crawled down back
with like a baby does, you know?
But I mean, if I have no idea what it's like to have no use of your legs?
Like would they just be an encumbrance if you were doing that? Yeah. And I, like, there's two things in this movie
that I feel like, like Blanche's insanity,
or Jane's insanity and Blanche's disability.
I'm like, how do I talk without these
without being an asshole?
I mean, I don't think they're treated very sensitively
in this movie, you know?
And so I don't think we need to, I mean, obviously, we're sensitive to being differently abled.
But uh, there's not in this movie.
Not this movie.
And I don't think we need to, I mean, these are characters that are just so, neither is
likable, neither is good.
I mean, you're supposed to feel for, uh, for Blanche and then it turns out you shouldn't have at all, right? It's true. It's th. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the the the th. Well. Well, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. It's not, uh, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not. It's not. It's not. It's not. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not th. th. this this this this this th. th it turns out you shouldn't have at all, right?
It's true. Well, speaking of feeling for Blanche, we should talk about what happens after she
crawls down the steps and makes a phone call.
Okay.
Jane kicks the shit out of her. Yeah, she does. Kicks her in the fucking tea. Kicks her, the fucking head. Yeah.

And then drags her back to the stairs.
It's good, it's brutal.
It's, it's, it's that thing of just like, oh, shit, this is something else.
This is not what I thought this movie was. Really? Yeah, well, well, well, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, the, th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi, thi, th. thi, thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I can't believe I just watched Betty Davis kick Joan Crawford in the fucking head.
So after Edwin runs off Jane's like oh god we got to get out of here so she gets
Blanche out of the house into the car. She's does this sort of nostalgic, well go to the seashore, like we used to when daddy
was alive, like, ugh.
This is where I have the note to the beach mon.
Yeah, to the beach?
So they go and lay on the beach.
This is where Blanche says to Jane about when she was younger and she's like,
you weren't ugly then, I made you this way.
And you're like, come on, come on. She's crazy.
You can't say the shit to her.
And Blanche is like 10 minutes from death at this point, like, figuratively and literally.
It seems weird to me that on this crowded beach no one notices a woman with long pants, long sleeves laying motionless in the sand.. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu're thu thu thu thu're thu're thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu th th th th th th th th thu thu th thu th th thu th th th th th th th th th th, th th, th th thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu th me that on this crowded beach no one notices a woman with long pants,
long sleeves laying motionless in the sand, you know, like not on a towel, not under an umbrella,
not in a bathing suit, just face up looking dead.
I mean just from the standpoint of like that person's gone to be sunburnt.
Yeah, right. I mean you would just walk by and be like, what is up with that. Yeah, nobody does that. Their car. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be just, to be just, to be just, to just, to just, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. te. te. to. te. to. to. te. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. t. t. Nobody does that. Their car sparked in the middle of the road. And everyone's like, I had to pull around that car. Sure was hard.
Imagine that in 2017 Los Angeles. The police are sitting at like the beach,
like the hot dog sand? Yeah. And they're just like, sure hope we find these
people. Like you're just chilling guys. Maybe get out there and fucking look for them. And they keep having shots that show that Jane. Yeah. their. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to pull. I their, their, to to to to pull.

are like perpendicular to the hot tops head.
They're right there.
And there's constant radio like announcements of like,
Blanche and Jane Hudson sisters, yeah.
Oh my god.
They like describe the car.
And then they're like wait is that the car? Yeah how did you not notice? You're the worst and then they're like we better get all kinds of backup so
they wait for backup like what are you doing? They're like worried that this
woman they found the body they found a virus body yeah and the hot dog
guy's like what a way to get your name in the paper which I liked quite so Jane comes over to the hot dog guy to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the the the comes over to the hot dog guy to get ice creams as you do.
Just walks off with two strawberry coats?
Yeah.
Can you explain to me Blanche's description of the accident?
Because it didn't kind of make sense to me.
So my, okay, what Blanche says is that Jane got out of the car to open the gates.
And Blanche tries to run her over.
But Jane got out of the way and Blanche hit the gates, which the accident severed her spinal
cord.
Jane freaked out and ran off, Blanche dragged herself out of the car to make it look like she'd
been hit. That's where it starts to fall apart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree
But it's a good little twist a roo. It is a good little twist a roo then explaining why she stuck with Jane for so long Because she felt bad for her and Jane that she's so drunk that she believed that she did it and it drove her insane and the guilt I don't know I guess she must have felt to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to to to to the to the th th th th th th th tr tru true? true? true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true tr true tr tr tr tr tr tr true true true true true true true. true. true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I true. Yeah, I true. Yeah, I that's that's true. Yeah, I that's true. Yeah, I true. Yeah, I true. Yeah, I true. Yeah, I true. Yeah, I. And the guilt, I don't know, she felt guilt. I guess she must have felt guilty, right?
Yeah, I don't know.
What is to say?
Because she did, she sort of like,
the realization comes over her.
And her face kind of goes from like,
confused to angry to just like, kind of just blank.
Yeah. And I like that moment, because it's the moment, the moment, the moment, it's the moment, it's the moment, it's the moment, it's the moment, it's the moment, it's the moment, it's the moment, the moment, the moment, the moment, the moment, the moment, the moment, the the the the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, thrown, thrown, throwne, throwne, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, to, to, to, it's the moment where you realize that they're both monsters,
but they're both still like pathetic monsters.
You know what I mean?
And they made each other monsters.
Yeah, it's pretty great.
And so the cops are now confronting Jane.
Yeah, they're like, where's your sister?
She's right the fuck there. She's right there. You had to step over her to get here. She kicked sand in her face when you went by.
And there's a whole crowd of people to like, she's crazy.
Look at that's nut bar.
Yeah.
And she's dancing with her ice cream cones.
Yeah, because she's got a crowd of people.
Yeah.
And then, uh, the cops find the end credits roll. Yeah, well, Jane dances on the sand. Yeah, when I have the note, Blanche dead.
She did? She dead. You think she dead? I think she's dead.
Oh, okay. I mean, like, now she is.
Right? I thrown Crawford's dead. Right.
Is John Crawford dead? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you think Blanche is dead? thin' dead. thinn't. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. thea's dead. th's dead. th's dead. the.

Oh my God.
Yeah, let's do it.
Give me a rating, Katie.
I love this movie.
Yeah.
I still want to see what ever happened to Baby Jane the musical.
I'm disappointed. It's not a real thing. What was that then? It was in Jennifer's body. It was just like, thia. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, thi. to, to, to that, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the. the. the the. the the the. the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to, Jennifer's body. It was just like signs in the background
in the high school. I loved that. That's seriously like one of my favorite jokes I've seen in a
movie that we've done. Where I saw that and was like, oh, that's amazing. I am giving this movie,
despite it being two hours and four billion minutes long. I'm giving it a ten. It's perfect. It's perfect. Oh,. Other than that length, oh buddy, other than that length.
I've written.
I think, um...
A letter.
This movie is undoubtedly a classic.
I think also undoubtedly a psychological horror film. I don't know why we questioned it. Like having seen it again, it's like, this movie is terrified.
Yeah, I guess so.
I'm going to go 9.5.
All right.
The length kills me.
Yeah, it's so long.
As I said in an email to you, you better have a chariot race or a war in the desert
if you're going to make true. It's true. And I feel like that was, was that uncommon for the time for a movie to be this long?
I feel like nowadays movies are all over two hours, but I said, such a bummer.
And maybe they were back then too and it's just in the middle, it kind of fizzled out.
In the 80s and 90 but like yeah I think in the 60s
was like the the time of like the yeah we got all the film just keep going
film film's free it's not free it's not free cost money yeah so it's so it's amazing
like the fact that it is two hours and 13 minutes long and I'm not like this was a slog. Yeah, you know how often I like to say that things are a slog?
I do.
And nipshits.
She was such a nipshit.
She was.
She was.
She was.
But all the acting is so fantastic in this.
And like, you know, to't roles for those ladies at all. Two women's careers were definitely on the way and and
this was like a boost for them and there just weren't, yeah you're right,
it just wasn't anything for them. And they both did other genre movies after
this, like they were in other horror movies and have you ever seen Watcher in the woods? No. It's a Disney film. It's a their, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have their, have their, have their, have their, their, their, their their, their th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and th th th th th th th th. And th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, th, th, th, th th th th th th th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi the the thea the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi Disney film that's terrify or at least it was when I was 10.
And Betty Davis stars in it. It's really good. I'm looking it up. I just want a
t-shirt that says it's Joan Colbert. I've always been more of a Joan
Collins fan myself. Oh who is it? I love Joan Collins so much. We've got to do
the tales from the Crypt movie that has the Santa Claus episode with Joan Collins in it. It's so good.
Yeah.
Can we also do The Devil Inside her, where she gets cursed by, she's a stripper who gets
cursed by a dwarf to have like a messed up baby?
What?
Do you ever see that?
No.
It was like my very first pick for a lady's nightmare. I was like, guys, I've got this movie I want to watch this movie I want the movie I want the movie I want to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch the movie I want to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch the movie I want to watch to watch the movie I want to watch to watch the movie I wa wa wa wa. I the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I wa. I wa. I wa. I want the movie I wa. I want the movie I the movie I the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch to watch I want to watch I want to watch I want to watch on to watch on to watch on to watch on to watch on to watch on to watch on the movie. I want to watch I want to watch on the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie I want the movie. I want to Yeah, Joan Collins is a stripper. She works, has an act with a dwarf.
She spurns the dwarf's advances and he curses her unborn child, but the baby just ends
up being like super strong.
She keeps killing people in like really unrealistic ways.
And then her sister, maybe, who's a nun, a science nun, ends up fixing it.
And it's like science nun and the happy baby at the end.
Speaking of ladies' nightbare, I was recently out to dinner and the restaurant I was
in was playing frogs. Did you see Sam Elliott's peeper? I did because I was discussing
with the people who worked there, I was like, oh, this is frogs.
And I know that because of Sam Elliot's sidepipe.
And I'd be like yelled Sam Elliott's sidepipe.
And people were laughing at me.
Was it at the brilet?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it was so good.
But it was just like, I was like, ah, I should text Cade only that I'm talking about Sam and Lee's sidepipe right now. It's
really prominent. It's much than a giant screen. Yeah, yeah. Especially when you
pause it and then get closer to the TV. So go watch whatever happened to baby
Jade if you haven't seen it. Class and it's, it's so referenced in so many other things and it spawned like, all this
basically, what do they call the sub-genre that this movie, they spawned?
Psychobitty.
Psychobit.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is very unflatter.
Yeah.
I don't like that at the same time. Same z's.
But yeah, it's totally worth your time.
It's totally, you know, do it maybe, you know, on a, an afternoon.
Don't do it too late in night.
You get too scared.
Or sleepy.
Oh, we're sleeping.

But I've not really dipped in.
Have you seen the clips of the football team name stuff?
No, someone said that to're, I'll have to show it to you later.
Anyway, I like when people describe comedic clubs to you and they're like, it's so fun.
It's two dudes standing near a tree watching a woman take off or clothes down to her bikini
and they're both dressed in like 90s hip-hop garb for no fucking reason.
Like there's no reason for it to be set in the 90s, but they're wearing like, I think one of them has on overalls, like with one of the overall things taken out. And it turns out that one of the guys
is an alien and doesn't understand human anatomy. And it's ridiculous and like so over the top and I love it so much. But yeah, we're gonna go watch get out. Okay, we're gonna go see it in the theater. In. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, you guys should go back and listen to our old episodes.
You all listen to these new ones.
There's a lot in the old ones no one's listening to. Yeah. Like, Office Killer has a third of the downloads.
It has like less than a quarter of the downloads of It.
Well, I think it's because no one has seen Offi Killer.
Oh, Sorry, Kill.
And I kind of wish that I hadn't.
Oh, Paul Ringwald.
And somebody else?
Lady from Big Love, who's name I can never remember.
Oh, Carol King. Oh Carol
King is in the yes yes yes yes yes. Did I say Carol Kane or Carol King?
