00:00:11.620 –> 00:00:14.259
Welcome back to nightmare logic the podcast where
00:00:14.259 –> 00:00:17.039
you don’t know if you’re on drugs or we are we’re
00:00:17.039 –> 00:00:19.280
your host Christopher Smith and Peter Sawyer
00:00:19.280 –> 00:00:22.199
We’re back again with our friend Taffeta darling
00:00:22.199 –> 00:00:25.320
because she was so great last time. Hello. Thank
00:00:25.320 –> 00:00:27.660
you And today we’re gonna talk about music videos.
00:00:27.660 –> 00:00:30.920
So grab a cold one and kick your feet up So did
00:00:30.920 –> 00:00:33.219
you guys do anything fun this week any watch
00:00:33.219 –> 00:00:35.640
anything? Anything cool come out that you want
00:00:35.640 –> 00:00:38.979
to talk about? I’m still watching primal. I fucking
00:00:38.979 –> 00:00:41.880
love primal It’s on the adult swim, but then
00:00:41.880 –> 00:00:44.520
it comes on a HBO the next day It’s pretty much
00:00:44.520 –> 00:00:46.280
just like I think I mentioned before the caveman
00:00:46.280 –> 00:00:47.759
going through like the different stages of his
00:00:47.759 –> 00:00:49.840
life But there’s like not a lot of vocalization
00:00:49.840 –> 00:00:52.420
it’s just like gruesome battle scenes and like
00:00:52.420 –> 00:00:56.640
blood and like moody music and like really pretty
00:00:56.640 –> 00:01:02.179
hand -drawn animation Cartoon Network. Yes on
00:01:02.179 –> 00:01:05.379
Sundays, but then Mondays It’s on HBO go. That’s
00:01:05.379 –> 00:01:08.129
how I watch it. So now I was telling Taffeta.
00:01:08.310 –> 00:01:13.049
So I watched Sisu Road to Revenge. It’s director
00:01:13.049 –> 00:01:16.829
Gelmari Helander. I believe he’s Finnish. It’s
00:01:16.829 –> 00:01:18.530
his follow up to his first film, which is called
00:01:18.530 –> 00:01:21.950
Sisu. It’s really solid. If you’re not familiar
00:01:21.950 –> 00:01:26.870
with it, Sisu is basically it’s a word and I
00:01:26.870 –> 00:01:29.170
think it’s Finnish as well. They can’t really
00:01:29.170 –> 00:01:32.909
be translated in English, but it means like you
00:01:32.909 –> 00:01:36.030
do your insane courage and bravery when you’re
00:01:36.030 –> 00:01:37.980
white knuckling it. But it basically follows
00:01:37.980 –> 00:01:42.079
a soldier who’s John Wick level Rambo, and the
00:01:42.079 –> 00:01:46.700
violence is very creative. And when you see the
00:01:46.700 –> 00:01:48.500
first one, you’re just like, it’s jaw dropping.
00:01:49.079 –> 00:01:51.079
It feels like something out of a cartoon, but
00:01:51.079 –> 00:01:54.180
not cartoonish, if that makes sense. And it just
00:01:54.180 –> 00:01:56.680
blew me away. So the sequel is kind of more of
00:01:56.680 –> 00:02:01.099
the same. But what’s interesting is Sisu doesn’t
00:02:01.099 –> 00:02:03.099
speak, really. He might say something at the
00:02:03.099 –> 00:02:04.859
very end of the first one, but not in the second.
00:02:04.959 –> 00:02:08.139
It takes place around World War II. or just after
00:02:08.139 –> 00:02:11.500
or during both between the two of them. But and
00:02:11.500 –> 00:02:14.539
then I watched the first episode of Primal what
00:02:14.539 –> 00:02:17.080
Taffet is talking about. And that also doesn’t
00:02:17.080 –> 00:02:19.879
have much talking because so it was it was it
00:02:19.879 –> 00:02:22.139
was interesting to go like coincidentally from
00:02:22.139 –> 00:02:23.719
one thing to the other. I’m like, oh, yeah, there
00:02:23.719 –> 00:02:25.939
wasn’t much talking in either of these. And it
00:02:25.939 –> 00:02:28.740
just speaks to the power of visuals. Totally.
00:02:29.560 –> 00:02:32.240
Actually, that’s an exercise they often do in
00:02:32.240 –> 00:02:34.020
film school when you are kind of a first starting
00:02:34.020 –> 00:02:37.849
out is like do a first kind of usually on 16
00:02:37.849 –> 00:02:39.150
millimeter bollocks. I don’t know if they do
00:02:39.150 –> 00:02:42.270
it anymore, because, you know, film, you know,
00:02:42.289 –> 00:02:46.090
whatever, but, you know, they’re not sync sound
00:02:46.090 –> 00:02:49.069
cameras. So they would be like, tell a story
00:02:49.069 –> 00:02:52.430
without, you know, dialogue, but you could use
00:02:52.430 –> 00:02:55.050
music, I think. So that, that checks out. I mean,
00:02:55.069 –> 00:02:58.110
it, it’s so true. Like if you can’t convey through
00:02:58.110 –> 00:03:01.030
visuals, then like oftentimes it’s like, you
00:03:01.030 –> 00:03:03.750
know. Well, it’s why like exposition often drags
00:03:03.750 –> 00:03:06.900
in. in movies like if you have to get information
00:03:06.900 –> 00:03:09.439
across you got to make it during a very interesting
00:03:09.439 –> 00:03:12.460
scene right you know now it’s true like right
00:03:12.460 –> 00:03:14.680
in the middle of the big climax also the music
00:03:14.680 –> 00:03:16.680
though too like i think the music also adds so
00:03:16.680 –> 00:03:18.699
much more because you know like you know when
00:03:18.699 –> 00:03:20.919
you’re watching the primal like it’s just so
00:03:20.919 –> 00:03:22.860
dramatic you got to have that right music especially
00:03:22.860 –> 00:03:25.039
if there’s no vocalization because music is also
00:03:25.039 –> 00:03:27.439
the other storyteller and given like that audio
00:03:27.439 –> 00:03:29.460
it’s since oh yeah it’s like those old disney
00:03:29.460 –> 00:03:32.960
cartoons back in the day yeah silent Films, right?
00:03:32.979 –> 00:03:35.879
Yeah. Well as an editor, let me tell you if it
00:03:35.879 –> 00:03:37.580
seems not really working I’m like, I just need
00:03:37.580 –> 00:03:40.580
the right music to sell this and uh, it’s like
00:03:40.580 –> 00:03:43.780
my little cheat code. Yep, you know uh this week
00:03:43.780 –> 00:03:46.620
I watched the first episode of dark winds actually
00:03:46.620 –> 00:03:48.319
last night because i’ve been meaning to check
00:03:48.319 –> 00:03:51.780
it out and You know my uh, fiance, it’s not really
00:03:51.780 –> 00:03:54.740
her kind of thing. So I rarely get a chance to
00:03:54.740 –> 00:03:56.919
watch things on my own and uh, you know, I thought
00:03:56.919 –> 00:04:00.099
I’d give it a shot since it it kind of comes
00:04:00.099 –> 00:04:02.020
up often, I feel like. And, you know, I really
00:04:02.020 –> 00:04:03.479
liked it. Have you guys seen it? I don’t even
00:04:03.479 –> 00:04:05.240
know what that is. I haven’t finished the final
00:04:05.240 –> 00:04:07.699
season or the recent season, but yeah, I went
00:04:07.699 –> 00:04:10.099
through that first. And I didn’t realize how
00:04:10.099 –> 00:04:12.259
supernatural it was gonna wind up being. At first,
00:04:12.319 –> 00:04:13.900
I thought it was just kind of like this crazy,
00:04:14.039 –> 00:04:16.860
you know… Small town the police is back, you
00:04:16.860 –> 00:04:18.439
know, there’s like a murder what’s going on,
00:04:18.480 –> 00:04:20.240
but there’s like a lot of occult and like supernatural
00:04:20.240 –> 00:04:23.000
stuff tied to it What what is it? Well, so the
00:04:23.000 –> 00:04:24.860
premise for those who don’t know is um, it’s
00:04:24.860 –> 00:04:28.240
about some Basically the police on the navajo
00:04:28.240 –> 00:04:31.939
reservation in the 70s I think it’s early 70s
00:04:31.939 –> 00:04:35.240
74 something like that and um Which actually
00:04:35.240 –> 00:04:38.120
in my 20s i’ve probably spent about eight weeks
00:04:38.120 –> 00:04:40.000
of my life staying on the navajo reservation
00:04:40.000 –> 00:04:42.660
with like a navajo family and uh learning a bit
00:04:42.660 –> 00:04:45.329
about the culture and stuff, so For me, it’s
00:04:45.329 –> 00:04:48.029
like really interesting kind of like took me
00:04:48.029 –> 00:04:50.430
back there. And I knew some of the legend, you
00:04:50.430 –> 00:04:54.790
know, the sort of mythology or I don’t want to
00:04:54.790 –> 00:04:56.589
I don’t know if that’s like a rude way to put
00:04:56.589 –> 00:05:00.189
it, but the religious lore of of the Navajo.
00:05:00.189 –> 00:05:02.430
So I find it really interesting. And what I really
00:05:02.430 –> 00:05:04.449
like about it, though, is it’s like a whole not
00:05:04.449 –> 00:05:08.410
like the Navajo cast. And I believe the Navajo
00:05:08.410 –> 00:05:10.509
it’s Navajo creator, if I’m not mistaken. But
00:05:10.509 –> 00:05:14.230
anyways, it’s it’s an interesting look at. Film
00:05:14.230 –> 00:05:16.329
and kind of a supernatural. I don’t know if you
00:05:16.329 –> 00:05:18.850
call it a hundred percent horror, but like kind
00:05:18.850 –> 00:05:23.370
of is and But just kind of it. I don’t know I
00:05:23.370 –> 00:05:25.110
like I thought it was just an interesting angle
00:05:25.110 –> 00:05:27.730
on it on a kind of a series We might have seen
00:05:27.730 –> 00:05:31.529
before you know Okay, well, let’s move on to
00:05:31.529 –> 00:05:35.350
the news as we love the news Actually, this isn’t
00:05:35.350 –> 00:05:37.509
really news, but I did have one more question
00:05:37.509 –> 00:05:40.629
for you actually before we get onto that I came
00:05:40.629 –> 00:05:44.329
across an article about D &D comic book called
00:05:44.329 –> 00:05:50.709
You probably already know it now fallbacks I
00:05:50.709 –> 00:05:52.750
Don’t know but this this is an article like talking
00:05:52.750 –> 00:05:54.649
about how great it was so I was gonna ask you
00:05:54.649 –> 00:05:58.009
if you’d read it Yeah, yeah, it’s like a I think
00:05:58.009 –> 00:06:01.850
it’s like a miniseries like a yeah Yeah, yeah,
00:06:01.930 –> 00:06:03.329
it’s supposedly the first one dropped back in
00:06:03.329 –> 00:06:06.810
October or whatever No, all right. Well, I expect
00:06:06.810 –> 00:06:08.850
you to check it out a report I’m gonna have to
00:06:08.850 –> 00:06:16.319
look and see now Great well, so this week Some
00:06:16.319 –> 00:06:19.300
unfortunate news to lead with Friday the 13th
00:06:19.300 –> 00:06:21.480
the new beginning star Cory Parker passed away
00:06:21.480 –> 00:06:24.720
At the age of 60 of cancer. Did you guys watch
00:06:24.720 –> 00:06:27.980
that one? I’ve seen all of them. Yeah. Yeah,
00:06:28.060 –> 00:06:30.279
it’s had that one stack up. I haven’t seen it.
00:06:30.439 –> 00:06:35.579
Um, it’s entertaining it’s kind of the That’s
00:06:35.579 –> 00:06:39.829
part five, right? Which it was Jason lives No,
00:06:39.970 –> 00:06:43.670
no, no, it’s a new beginning Fuck I might be
00:06:43.670 –> 00:06:44.970
getting mixed up So I don’t want to put my foot
00:06:44.970 –> 00:06:46.949
my mouth and chime in on the wrong one because
00:06:46.949 –> 00:06:50.189
I tend to get there’s a lot of them Well, the
00:06:50.189 –> 00:06:51.610
larger point though is there seems like a lot
00:06:51.610 –> 00:06:54.069
of people are dying this year No, I mean I meant
00:06:54.069 –> 00:06:56.430
to mention this last week is Dan Simmons died
00:06:56.430 –> 00:06:59.110
and that didn’t get a lot of coverage He is an
00:06:59.110 –> 00:07:01.870
author known for writing the terror and I really
00:07:01.870 –> 00:07:03.769
enjoyed that book that became a series Yeah,
00:07:03.769 –> 00:07:05.569
actually that’s been on my list for like years
00:07:05.569 –> 00:07:08.490
now and I’m always like But weirdly, I’ve never
00:07:08.490 –> 00:07:10.509
heard anyone talk about it, but it’s highly rated.
00:07:11.189 –> 00:07:13.829
It’s a great book. I mean, I bought it and I
00:07:13.829 –> 00:07:15.509
was a substitute teacher at the time when this
00:07:15.509 –> 00:07:18.850
came out and I lost it. And I was like, God damn
00:07:18.850 –> 00:07:21.569
it. And like so I ended up rebuying. It’s a thick
00:07:21.569 –> 00:07:23.310
book. I don’t know how many pages it was, but
00:07:23.310 –> 00:07:25.209
I feel like it was at least five hundred or something.
00:07:25.730 –> 00:07:28.670
And then I’m back at the school and found my
00:07:28.670 –> 00:07:32.949
book in the like teacher’s lounge. Of course,
00:07:33.089 –> 00:07:35.990
I left it here. Yeah. But yeah, I really enjoyed
00:07:35.990 –> 00:07:38.829
the book. I didn’t get Too into the series, and
00:07:38.829 –> 00:07:40.949
maybe I just needed to give it more of a shot.
00:07:41.769 –> 00:07:43.829
Yeah. Yeah, it’s like surprisingly high. I think
00:07:43.829 –> 00:07:46.110
it’s like in the sevens on IMDB, which for anything
00:07:46.110 –> 00:07:48.269
over seven on IMDB, I feel like is like usually
00:07:48.269 –> 00:07:53.649
really solid. But great. Well, so Scream 7 came
00:07:53.649 –> 00:07:55.870
out last weekend from when we’re recording this
00:07:55.870 –> 00:08:00.149
and knocked it out of the park. Best best box
00:08:00.149 –> 00:08:02.629
office take of the franchise at ninety seven
00:08:02.629 –> 00:08:06.959
point two million globally. 64 .1 million domestically
00:08:06.959 –> 00:08:08.980
I mentioned it just because it was kind of big
00:08:08.980 –> 00:08:11.199
news and also we talked about it last week with
00:08:11.199 –> 00:08:15.199
the calls for boycotts and stuff which had Looks
00:08:15.199 –> 00:08:18.319
like essentially no impact So probably because
00:08:18.319 –> 00:08:19.660
the people who had boycott it probably wouldn’t
00:08:19.660 –> 00:08:23.480
watch it to begin with but yeah But it’s really
00:08:23.480 –> 00:08:26.660
interesting and that’s all despite a really low
00:08:26.660 –> 00:08:30.199
5 .9 and IMDB and 32 % on Rotten Tomatoes in
00:08:30.199 –> 00:08:33.110
terms of Yeah, people going to see that are going
00:08:33.110 –> 00:08:35.409
for the actual like story of it all at this point.
00:08:35.769 –> 00:08:38.350
Yeah It’s definitely not critics going there
00:08:38.350 –> 00:08:41.210
to like, you know have some theatrical Experience
00:08:41.210 –> 00:08:43.250
it’s people who just want to show up and like
00:08:43.250 –> 00:08:46.429
watch hack slash and some Kessin Well, you say
00:08:46.429 –> 00:08:50.269
I mean I hear you but IMDB theory is the people
00:08:50.269 –> 00:08:54.929
yeah Unless unless it’s been review bombed I
00:08:54.929 –> 00:08:57.990
didn’t look at that Oh, that is an interesting
00:08:57.990 –> 00:09:00.970
point. I mean, I’ve seen kind of mixed reviews
00:09:00.970 –> 00:09:04.470
from people I trust. I haven’t read deeply into
00:09:04.470 –> 00:09:06.929
it because I’m like, I’ll see it if I see it,
00:09:06.990 –> 00:09:09.590
but I’m not dying to see it. Well, it’s like,
00:09:09.690 –> 00:09:12.830
how many times can you tell the same story? I
00:09:12.830 –> 00:09:15.710
mean, I don’t know, because there’s always a
00:09:15.710 –> 00:09:17.789
twist, right? There’s always the big reveal with
00:09:17.789 –> 00:09:20.110
these and it’s like… I don’t know. Fool me
00:09:20.110 –> 00:09:23.090
once, shame on you. Fool me seven more times.
00:09:23.970 –> 00:09:28.190
Shame on me. I mean, it’s also like most sequels
00:09:28.190 –> 00:09:31.730
don’t really need to exist. It’s just the first
00:09:31.730 –> 00:09:33.850
one was successful. So let’s do it again. How
00:09:33.850 –> 00:09:36.190
are they going to get that money? I’m sorry.
00:09:36.490 –> 00:09:38.750
No, there are exceptions. Like I think Terminator
00:09:38.750 –> 00:09:44.090
2. Or like the Indiana Jones movies. I’m joking.
00:09:44.710 –> 00:09:49.679
But honestly, I kind of like sequels. when they’re
00:09:49.679 –> 00:09:54.519
treated as like not like an afterthought, you
00:09:54.519 –> 00:09:57.139
know, like they have a reason to exist unto themselves.
00:09:57.639 –> 00:10:00.980
Part of the story. Yeah. So also this weekend,
00:10:01.080 –> 00:10:03.539
The Bride is coming out, which is interesting.
00:10:04.620 –> 00:10:06.539
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m curious to see
00:10:06.539 –> 00:10:09.039
how it does. It also surprisingly has middling
00:10:09.039 –> 00:10:13.720
reviews, so I’m curious why that might be. You
00:10:13.720 –> 00:10:16.580
guys plan on seeing it? I will eventually I’m
00:10:16.580 –> 00:10:19.159
curious, but I’m not like super curious. You
00:10:19.159 –> 00:10:22.639
know, like I was more curious about the del Toro
00:10:22.639 –> 00:10:24.240
one that they had on Netflix, like that one,
00:10:24.259 –> 00:10:26.860
like the Frankenstein one. And I’m curious about
00:10:26.860 –> 00:10:28.779
the bride because I love that, you know, creature.
00:10:30.220 –> 00:10:33.120
But just, I don’t know, I feel like the whole
00:10:33.120 –> 00:10:35.600
Bonnie and Clyde thing is kind of appealing,
00:10:35.600 –> 00:10:37.759
you know, that they’re framing it. But also it’s
00:10:37.759 –> 00:10:39.559
like, yeah, I feel like I’ve seen this before.
00:10:40.919 –> 00:10:43.259
I want to put my time into a theater of something
00:10:43.259 –> 00:10:46.039
that I haven’t seen before. Right. If that makes
00:10:46.039 –> 00:10:48.000
sense. Yeah, and I kind of just wonder if it’s
00:10:48.000 –> 00:10:52.679
ends up being a jumble of ideas, you know, because
00:10:52.679 –> 00:10:55.840
the Bonnie and Clyde thing alone could be a film
00:10:55.840 –> 00:10:58.440
and then the bride Frankenstein thing. Do they
00:10:58.440 –> 00:11:01.059
complement each other’s? Yeah, good question.
00:11:01.139 –> 00:11:02.620
Well, I mean, I think the ideas is like kind
00:11:02.620 –> 00:11:05.740
of a feminist take on it. So like centering the
00:11:05.740 –> 00:11:08.559
bride is this like bad. I don’t know. I mean,
00:11:08.639 –> 00:11:11.679
I’m not. Yeah, I mean, who knows? I’m just I’m
00:11:11.679 –> 00:11:13.909
curious because it. I’m also interested in unique
00:11:13.909 –> 00:11:15.889
takes on things, and it could be a unique take
00:11:15.889 –> 00:11:18.769
on the Frankenstein story. Lisa Frankenstein
00:11:18.769 –> 00:11:21.029
was fucking amazing. That movie was a great take
00:11:21.029 –> 00:11:22.350
on Frankenstein. I didn’t see that. Oh my God,
00:11:22.509 –> 00:11:25.730
it’s so like 80s and electric. It was like everything
00:11:25.730 –> 00:11:27.669
like Young Me would have loved as a kid, and
00:11:27.669 –> 00:11:30.909
I loved it as an adult because it was so colorful
00:11:30.909 –> 00:11:33.200
and poppy, but there was this brooding… you
00:11:33.200 –> 00:11:35.480
know, female lead that was like obsessed with
00:11:35.480 –> 00:11:38.399
like, you know, Victor von Frankenstein’s creature
00:11:38.399 –> 00:11:40.299
and stuff. And it was, I don’t know. That was
00:11:40.299 –> 00:11:44.100
a really good take on The Bride and creatures.
00:11:44.259 –> 00:11:47.399
Right, right. I liked Frank and Hooker. It’s
00:11:47.399 –> 00:11:48.360
been a while since I’ve seen that. It’s classic,
00:11:48.580 –> 00:11:50.759
yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are a little bit different.
00:11:50.840 –> 00:11:52.399
So anyways, with The Bride, I feel like I’ve
00:11:52.399 –> 00:11:55.159
seen this type of stuff before. So I’ll probably
00:11:55.159 –> 00:11:57.480
wait just so it’s like on HBO where Apple or
00:11:57.480 –> 00:12:01.919
some shit. Cool, cool. And then last but not
00:12:01.919 –> 00:12:05.580
least, Peter I believe you wanted to bring up
00:12:05.580 –> 00:12:09.799
the black lists new partnership I do but I need
00:12:09.799 –> 00:12:15.059
to get something off my chest So before getting
00:12:15.059 –> 00:12:17.759
into that that that I think will interest you
00:12:17.759 –> 00:12:20.480
or writers out there I need to take my foot out
00:12:20.480 –> 00:12:23.080
of my mouth and make room for the crow. I’m about
00:12:23.080 –> 00:12:26.720
to eat last week Christopher asked about Ryan
00:12:26.720 –> 00:12:30.080
Coogler doing the X files reboot and a little
00:12:30.080 –> 00:12:32.200
bit of hubris came out of my mouth when I said
00:12:33.250 –> 00:12:36.950
Kugler impressed me, like a royal jackass. So
00:12:36.950 –> 00:12:39.429
now I’m taking myself to task, right? This is
00:12:39.429 –> 00:12:42.470
how we grow. You put a mic in my face and sometimes
00:12:42.470 –> 00:12:45.110
I’m prone to open my big fat mouth without really
00:12:45.110 –> 00:12:47.409
thinking of things, but with writing you can
00:12:47.409 –> 00:12:50.269
have the thoughtfulness in how to engage. But
00:12:50.269 –> 00:12:51.690
shooting the shit can be a very different thing.
00:12:52.129 –> 00:12:55.370
So I want to walk that back. First of all, I
00:12:55.370 –> 00:12:57.590
have not earned the right to say such a thing.
00:12:57.929 –> 00:13:00.970
Anyone who executes a 90 million dollar film
00:13:00.970 –> 00:13:03.350
has done something insanely impressive and I
00:13:03.350 –> 00:13:05.169
was impressed not just by sinners But I really
00:13:05.169 –> 00:13:07.669
liked fruitvale station, which was his first
00:13:07.669 –> 00:13:11.490
film. So he has impressed me right and Yeah,
00:13:11.490 –> 00:13:14.590
man, even if I had earned the right to say coogler
00:13:14.590 –> 00:13:16.809
impressed me that’s such an asshole thing to
00:13:16.809 –> 00:13:19.909
say I mean I doubt he’s listening but uh What
00:13:19.909 –> 00:13:21.990
I wish I had said is I hope he impresses me with
00:13:21.990 –> 00:13:25.169
the x -files a lot of people really enjoyed the
00:13:25.169 –> 00:13:28.159
vampire stuff and sinners Was more into hoping
00:13:28.159 –> 00:13:30.080
for night of living dead or assault Humphrey
00:13:30.080 –> 00:13:33.000
sitting 13 as I love siege movies But he had
00:13:33.000 –> 00:13:35.039
a different approach and good for him on making
00:13:35.039 –> 00:13:36.940
such a big movie that brought those elements
00:13:36.940 –> 00:13:41.460
in so I apologize to you Ryan you do you? Well,
00:13:41.460 –> 00:13:44.460
thanks for that Mia culpa. Yeah, man. I just
00:13:44.460 –> 00:13:48.059
I Just was like why did I fucking say that? What
00:13:48.059 –> 00:13:50.120
do you mean? You just it’s an opinion. It’s fair
00:13:50.279 –> 00:13:52.519
Yeah, I mean, maybe, but just putting it that
00:13:52.519 –> 00:13:54.860
way is right. I hear what you’re saying. I was
00:13:54.860 –> 00:13:57.600
like, I mean, I actually think he’s pretty talented.
00:13:57.840 –> 00:14:00.279
Oh, so do I. It just it just felt like it was
00:14:00.279 –> 00:14:03.159
like a clickbait thing to say, you know, like,
00:14:03.440 –> 00:14:06.120
I don’t know. But so I just wanted to address
00:14:06.120 –> 00:14:11.639
that. But yes. So here’s something that’s interesting
00:14:11.639 –> 00:14:13.720
for all you horror writers out there. The Blacklist
00:14:13.720 –> 00:14:16.059
and Tubi are partnering up to discover a feature
00:14:16.059 –> 00:14:19.500
horror script for Tubi. to purchase develop with
00:14:19.500 –> 00:14:21.879
the intent of green lighting the script for production
00:14:21.879 –> 00:14:25.539
and distribution. So if you are a horror writer
00:14:25.539 –> 00:14:27.840
or want to write a horror script, you have a
00:14:27.840 –> 00:14:29.559
couple of months to do it. You just got to go
00:14:29.559 –> 00:14:32.279
to this is going to go in the show notes because
00:14:32.279 –> 00:14:36.340
it’s blacklist .com slash programs slash to be
00:14:36.340 –> 00:14:39.100
back blacklist horror initiative and blacklist
00:14:39.100 –> 00:14:41.759
is not spelled how I said it. So you’re going
00:14:41.759 –> 00:14:44.200
to want to Google this. But for the rules, I
00:14:44.200 –> 00:14:46.620
can tell you have to be 18. The script has to
00:14:46.620 –> 00:14:48.879
be in English. And you can submit as many times
00:14:48.879 –> 00:14:51.940
as you want. The final deadline is June 30th.
00:14:51.940 –> 00:14:54.179
And you don’t have to be part of the WGA, the
00:14:54.179 –> 00:14:56.779
Writers Guild. So that’s pretty cool. So guys,
00:14:57.019 –> 00:14:59.840
dust off all those old scripts you have and start
00:14:59.840 –> 00:15:04.460
vamping them up or write a new one because, yeah,
00:15:04.580 –> 00:15:08.259
the clock’s ticking. And also on that note, if
00:15:08.259 –> 00:15:11.419
you’re wondering about 2B original horrors or
00:15:11.419 –> 00:15:13.960
any good, I’d suggest checking out Lowlifes.
00:15:13.980 –> 00:15:15.960
I saw that like, I don’t know, like half a year
00:15:15.960 –> 00:15:19.679
ago and It was a lot of fun. It’s best to go
00:15:19.679 –> 00:15:23.919
in blind. Plus 2B has a great fucking catalog
00:15:23.919 –> 00:15:26.909
of genre films, right? Way more than you would
00:15:26.909 –> 00:15:28.850
expect or they even have I guess I do have the
00:15:28.850 –> 00:15:30.750
right to do it I feel like the right to but like
00:15:30.750 –> 00:15:32.850
yeah anything I want to find I could usually
00:15:32.850 –> 00:15:35.029
find on 2p But then he has to do the commercials
00:15:35.029 –> 00:15:39.009
which actually I kind of minor Yeah, I like it.
00:15:39.009 –> 00:15:40.850
It’s free. Sometimes like I have you know, I
00:15:40.850 –> 00:15:42.809
have ADHD so sometimes I have to say sometimes
00:15:42.809 –> 00:15:45.230
My brain could take that break. I’m like, okay
00:15:45.230 –> 00:15:47.529
now i’m gonna run and go do this stuff But you’re
00:15:47.529 –> 00:15:49.690
you’re getting like stuff You’re not gonna always
00:15:49.690 –> 00:15:52.970
find on amazon prime or netflix sure any of the
00:15:52.970 –> 00:15:55.809
other ones and they they Whoever curates it is
00:15:55.809 –> 00:15:57.269
my hats off to you, because there’s a lot of
00:15:57.269 –> 00:15:59.129
cool stuff on there. Yeah, especially like the
00:15:59.129 –> 00:16:01.269
random like 80s cartoons that you’d watch on
00:16:01.269 –> 00:16:03.009
Saturday mornings. Like I can find just about
00:16:03.009 –> 00:16:05.450
anything there. And I love that. You can find
00:16:05.450 –> 00:16:09.210
weird documentaries, too. Like fucking anything
00:16:09.210 –> 00:16:12.950
is so true. It’s crazy. I love you, Tubi. Sponsor
00:16:12.950 –> 00:16:15.389
us. We love you. Yeah. And if you’ve never watched
00:16:15.389 –> 00:16:19.389
Tubi, it’s a free app. Like it’s. That’s true.
00:16:19.470 –> 00:16:21.269
I mean, that’s the best part about it is like,
00:16:21.269 –> 00:16:24.129
you know. when you can’t find it anywhere else,
00:16:24.529 –> 00:16:27.029
they, you know, 2B and a couple of those free
00:16:27.029 –> 00:16:30.929
streaming ones, like 3B. Yeah, all the E’s. Howdy,
00:16:30.990 –> 00:16:32.950
is that one free too? I haven’t done Howdy, but
00:16:32.950 –> 00:16:34.370
I’m gonna look that up now. It’s like the new
00:16:34.370 –> 00:16:38.710
Roku channel, basically. Well, the last thing
00:16:38.710 –> 00:16:40.289
I’ll say is a lot of times, I don’t know if you
00:16:40.289 –> 00:16:41.730
guys are like this, if you’re looking for something
00:16:41.730 –> 00:16:46.450
to watch and you’re just, you’ll scan, you know,
00:16:46.590 –> 00:16:49.500
surf. These streaming sites and might not find
00:16:49.500 –> 00:16:51.299
something if I go to tubi i’ll find something
00:16:51.299 –> 00:16:54.240
a lot quicker interesting I because usually I
00:16:54.240 –> 00:16:56.320
end up on tubi when i’m searching for a specific
00:16:56.320 –> 00:16:58.759
film and they’re the only ones that have it but
00:16:58.759 –> 00:17:01.460
Uh, I never really go there just to browse so
00:17:01.460 –> 00:17:03.960
I do a lot of the live stuff like on amazon prime
00:17:03.960 –> 00:17:05.799
or that if you go there You just go to live and
00:17:05.799 –> 00:17:10.240
it’s it’s usually colombo. So That’s my go -to
00:17:10.240 –> 00:17:13.599
number number one fan and dude Legit. Yeah. But
00:17:13.599 –> 00:17:15.940
otherwise, when I go there, it is something just
00:17:15.940 –> 00:17:17.700
because I’m looking for something random. Right.
00:17:18.460 –> 00:17:22.279
Cool. Well, I just want to mention the horror
00:17:22.279 –> 00:17:25.819
and genre films coming out next or this coming
00:17:25.819 –> 00:17:29.000
week, which will probably be in the past once
00:17:29.000 –> 00:17:31.799
you hear this. But it’s a weekend of March 13th
00:17:31.799 –> 00:17:35.599
through 15th. And the first one that seems to
00:17:35.599 –> 00:17:37.079
be having a lot of hype, probably because it’s
00:17:37.079 –> 00:17:40.519
a 24 is undertone. And we mentioned this in our.
00:17:41.160 –> 00:17:46.339
Preview episode of 2026, but it it’s for a 24.
00:17:46.339 –> 00:17:52.019
It’s writer -director Ian Towson stars Nina Curie
00:17:52.019 –> 00:17:56.000
Adam DiMarco Michelle Dekwa to quit to get god.
00:17:56.039 –> 00:18:00.940
I really butchered that one Basically the the
00:18:00.940 –> 00:18:03.220
gist of it is it’s a it’s a host of a popular
00:18:03.220 –> 00:18:06.420
Paranormal podcast who becomes haunted by a tear
00:18:06.420 –> 00:18:08.920
by terrifying recordings mysteriously sent her
00:18:08.920 –> 00:18:12.210
way Which is kind of a mysterious premise, but
00:18:12.210 –> 00:18:14.670
it sounds interesting apparently the sound design
00:18:14.670 –> 00:18:19.410
is All like what it’s all about, you know, so
00:18:19.410 –> 00:18:22.130
there I think I have read somewhere that they’re
00:18:22.130 –> 00:18:25.049
trying to put it into theater like theaters that
00:18:25.049 –> 00:18:28.890
You know qualify for the tops your equality at
00:18:28.890 –> 00:18:32.359
top tier sound, which is really interesting Yeah,
00:18:32.359 –> 00:18:35.200
so check that out. That comes out on March 13th.
00:18:35.200 –> 00:18:36.819
I think it’s in limited previews this weekend,
00:18:37.119 –> 00:18:38.660
actually, which would be the 7th and 8th, but
00:18:38.660 –> 00:18:40.940
you’re not gonna hear this in time. So I have
00:18:40.940 –> 00:18:43.079
watched the trailer for it, and I’m actually
00:18:43.079 –> 00:18:45.460
really eager to see that. I mean, it has hype
00:18:45.460 –> 00:18:50.720
and stuff, but movies when, you know, you think
00:18:50.720 –> 00:18:54.880
movies are visual, right? The sound doesn’t get
00:18:54.880 –> 00:18:58.059
enough credit, I feel like, but also the idea
00:18:58.059 –> 00:19:01.990
of Where that’s a focal point to to the film
00:19:01.990 –> 00:19:03.890
I think will be interesting because like as a
00:19:03.890 –> 00:19:06.650
kid I loved ghost stories so you’re using your
00:19:06.650 –> 00:19:08.589
imagination And I imagine that’s probably gonna
00:19:08.589 –> 00:19:11.470
be the art of it is how they incorporate that
00:19:11.470 –> 00:19:15.490
element into like oh shit what you know So I’m
00:19:15.490 –> 00:19:18.329
eager to see that yeah, no I agree. I think you’re
00:19:18.329 –> 00:19:22.829
totally right movies and TV shows and stuff that
00:19:22.829 –> 00:19:26.799
really make sound you know, a first class citizen
00:19:26.799 –> 00:19:30.079
in the production. Like I usually it just shines.
00:19:31.839 –> 00:19:34.140
Do you have any interest? Oh, yeah, I mean, like
00:19:34.140 –> 00:19:36.380
I’m curious about it, but I’m so behind on what’s
00:19:36.380 –> 00:19:37.660
coming out in theaters. Like I didn’t even know
00:19:37.660 –> 00:19:38.940
that was the thing. I haven’t heard anything
00:19:38.940 –> 00:19:41.420
about it because like my head’s so like stuck
00:19:41.420 –> 00:19:43.460
in books, like literally that I don’t even. But
00:19:43.460 –> 00:19:45.200
that’s why you’re here. We need we need variety
00:19:45.200 –> 00:19:48.519
on this show. I don’t even know what’s come out
00:19:48.519 –> 00:19:50.279
in theaters at all. Yeah. Well, I’m telling you,
00:19:50.319 –> 00:19:51.960
that’s why I know. No, it’s great. I’m like,
00:19:51.980 –> 00:19:55.480
OK, now I’m going to go look at that. Also on
00:19:55.480 –> 00:19:59.619
the 13th is Scared to Death, which is done by
00:19:59.619 –> 00:20:02.299
writer -director Paul Boyd, stars Lil Shane,
00:20:02.619 –> 00:20:06.740
Bill Mosley, Oliver Parris, and it follows Jasper,
00:20:06.799 –> 00:20:08.960
a young filmmaker, as he seizes a chance to direct
00:20:08.960 –> 00:20:12.980
when his crew attends a seance in a haunted children’s
00:20:12.980 –> 00:20:15.720
shelter. Trapped inside, they’re haunted by ghostly
00:20:15.720 –> 00:20:19.299
orphans and a sinister force. I don’t know much
00:20:19.299 –> 00:20:22.880
about it beyond that. Bill Mosley is cool. Yeah,
00:20:23.019 –> 00:20:25.460
I mean, I don’t recognize the other names, but
00:20:25.460 –> 00:20:27.700
yeah little shane. I imagine that’s probably
00:20:27.700 –> 00:20:30.720
like a musician crossover But i’m not really
00:20:30.720 –> 00:20:33.680
sure Unless that’s just a really cool name. I
00:20:33.680 –> 00:20:35.880
don’t know. I mean it could be a pony right little
00:20:35.880 –> 00:20:40.619
sebastian Okay, you’re right. It’s probably a
00:20:40.619 –> 00:20:43.359
pony starring a pony I mean, I would really be
00:20:43.359 –> 00:20:45.279
into that if it was a horror movie started starring
00:20:45.279 –> 00:20:47.480
a little little pony little sebastian strikes
00:20:47.480 –> 00:20:50.539
back Yeah, peter. Let’s uh note it noodle on
00:20:50.539 –> 00:20:52.519
that and figure something out. You’re welcome
00:20:52.519 –> 00:20:57.440
Last but not least is the gates with uh, it’s
00:20:57.440 –> 00:21:01.059
writer director john burr and stars mason gooding
00:21:01.059 –> 00:21:03.859
algae smith another cool name and keith powers
00:21:03.859 –> 00:21:08.240
and this is actually Supposedly a thriller. Um,
00:21:08.240 –> 00:21:09.680
I don’t think there’s anything supernatural about
00:21:09.680 –> 00:21:14.240
it, but it kind of has a a get out vibe to it.
00:21:14.299 –> 00:21:16.660
So it’s about three friends on a road trip where
00:21:16.660 –> 00:21:18.559
it turns terrifying when they witness a murder
00:21:18.559 –> 00:21:21.759
in a gated upscale community, trapped inside,
00:21:22.240 –> 00:21:24.220
hunted by the residents who blame them. Their
00:21:24.220 –> 00:21:26.279
bond fractures as a charismatic yet sinister
00:21:26.279 –> 00:21:29.579
patriarch closes in. And it kind of has maybe
00:21:29.579 –> 00:21:31.059
a cold vibe. It’s hard to tell from the trailer
00:21:31.059 –> 00:21:33.519
because there’s like a church and a pastor at
00:21:33.519 –> 00:21:35.000
the center of all this in this gated community.
00:21:35.099 –> 00:21:38.269
What’s the title again? The Gates. The gates
00:21:38.269 –> 00:21:40.750
I did. I saw the trailer for it. James Vanderbeek
00:21:40.750 –> 00:21:42.430
is in it. I think it might be the last thing
00:21:42.430 –> 00:21:45.569
he did. Oh, fascinating. Very fascinating. Yeah,
00:21:45.589 –> 00:21:51.509
it’s because the three friends are black and
00:21:51.509 –> 00:21:53.490
the pastor and everybody seems to be white. So
00:21:53.490 –> 00:21:55.869
I wonder if there’s like kind of a racial under
00:21:55.869 –> 00:21:58.890
undertone. Oh, I’m sure I can get out, you know.
00:21:59.589 –> 00:22:02.430
So I’m actually it looks good. I’m kind of interested
00:22:02.430 –> 00:22:04.750
to see that one. Yeah, I am too. I mean, I’m
00:22:04.750 –> 00:22:08.119
a sucker for stuff like that. All right, let’s
00:22:08.119 –> 00:22:10.660
get into our main topic today. Wait, wait, wait.
00:22:10.839 –> 00:22:14.579
Because I forgot, I have one last thing. So I
00:22:14.579 –> 00:22:18.099
want to say thank you to Heather DeFranco who
00:22:18.099 –> 00:22:21.319
sent me this book Morbidly Curious, A Scientist
00:22:21.319 –> 00:22:25.880
Explains Why We Can’t Look Away by Colton Scrivener.
00:22:25.900 –> 00:22:27.720
Sorry, Scrivener. Jesus, I’m fucking that one
00:22:27.720 –> 00:22:30.259
up. But the reason I mention this is it’s funny
00:22:30.259 –> 00:22:32.559
because she bought this because I told her about
00:22:32.559 –> 00:22:34.400
this book and then she asked me if I had read
00:22:34.400 –> 00:22:36.829
it and I was like. Shit, I forgot about it. So
00:22:36.829 –> 00:22:39.029
she sent it to me and I wanted to shout that
00:22:39.029 –> 00:22:42.230
out cool I’m a page in and what’s kind of interesting
00:22:42.230 –> 00:22:46.210
about it is when Friday the 13th came out Gene
00:22:46.210 –> 00:22:50.170
Siskel basically went on a rampage Against it
00:22:50.170 –> 00:22:53.049
because he was like this moral outrage of this
00:22:53.049 –> 00:22:55.250
bloody movie and everyone who watches this stuff
00:22:55.250 –> 00:23:02.199
or Bad people and he he basically sent me Public
00:23:02.199 –> 00:23:04.279
Paramount’s address to send hate mail and he
00:23:04.279 –> 00:23:06.779
tried to do that to the actress who plays Jason’s
00:23:06.779 –> 00:23:08.900
mom I think her name is Betsy Palmer. So it’s
00:23:08.900 –> 00:23:11.480
guys like holy shit. This is wild, but it feels
00:23:11.480 –> 00:23:14.259
like it’s gonna be a page -turner Nice. All right.
00:23:14.359 –> 00:23:15.720
Well check that out. What’s it called again?
00:23:16.559 –> 00:23:19.240
morbidly curious or morbidly why we watch horror
00:23:19.240 –> 00:23:21.339
movies and listen to true crime and all that
00:23:21.339 –> 00:23:24.779
stuff, you know, there’s actually a Documentary
00:23:24.779 –> 00:23:27.299
that just dropped on shutter. I think it just
00:23:27.299 –> 00:23:29.539
dropped. I don’t know every did their Platform
00:23:29.539 –> 00:23:31.680
and none of them have any ratings. So I don’t
00:23:31.680 –> 00:23:33.559
know when they dropped it and it’s not from it’s
00:23:33.559 –> 00:23:36.539
like from 2023 or something, but it’s I Already
00:23:36.539 –> 00:23:38.539
forgot the title. So I’m not gonna be able to
00:23:38.539 –> 00:23:40.619
tell you that but it’s essentially about that
00:23:40.619 –> 00:23:43.940
It’s like about a big British crime in the 70s
00:23:43.940 –> 00:23:48.579
and how that kind of ignited Their obsession
00:23:48.579 –> 00:23:50.960
with true crime in slasher films and things.
00:23:51.119 –> 00:23:54.579
Yes I know the Poster or the icon or whatever
00:23:54.579 –> 00:23:56.180
you call it when you look at something online.
00:23:56.279 –> 00:23:58.380
Yeah, I don’t know what you call that thumbnail
00:23:58.919 –> 00:24:01.160
Thumbnail. Sure. Looks really cool. And so I
00:24:01.160 –> 00:24:04.000
was checking that out. It’s like my wife, Anya
00:24:04.000 –> 00:24:06.579
loves documentary. So I was like, we got to watch
00:24:06.579 –> 00:24:09.599
this and need to. It looks interesting. Yeah,
00:24:09.599 –> 00:24:13.619
I want to check it out, too. Well, let’s get
00:24:13.619 –> 00:24:15.740
into our main topic of discussion. And this one’s
00:24:15.740 –> 00:24:17.779
going to be a fun one. We’re going to talk about
00:24:17.779 –> 00:24:24.519
a non -exhaustive list of music videos that like
00:24:24.519 –> 00:24:27.359
horror music videos, essentially. And we all.
00:24:27.420 –> 00:24:30.480
picked five. They’re not necessarily picked because
00:24:30.480 –> 00:24:34.460
we love the song, some of them maybe, but it’s
00:24:34.460 –> 00:24:37.380
honestly, I think it’s just like ones that stuck
00:24:37.380 –> 00:24:40.220
with us more than anything, the video aspect
00:24:40.220 –> 00:24:44.779
of it. And we’re going to go through them and
00:24:44.779 –> 00:24:47.759
just kind of talk about what they are and what
00:24:47.759 –> 00:24:50.240
we liked about them. And then they’ll be available
00:24:50.240 –> 00:24:53.180
to watch. Links to them on our website in the
00:24:53.180 –> 00:24:55.079
show notes. But first, Peter’s going to give
00:24:55.079 –> 00:24:57.960
us a little background about the first horror
00:24:57.960 –> 00:25:00.980
-esque music video and a little bit about the
00:25:00.980 –> 00:25:04.039
genre. Yeah, it’s kind of an interesting thing.
00:25:04.519 –> 00:25:06.839
When we think of music videos, depending on your
00:25:06.839 –> 00:25:09.420
generation, you might be thinking YouTube, but
00:25:09.420 –> 00:25:11.579
if you’re a little bit older, you’re thinking
00:25:11.579 –> 00:25:17.160
MTV. And that really kicked off the video boom,
00:25:17.240 –> 00:25:20.359
music video boom, but they existed before MTV.
00:25:20.720 –> 00:25:25.119
So you have… In 1975, Alice Cooper had Welcome
00:25:25.119 –> 00:25:28.660
to My Nightmare, which is where he’s in makeup
00:25:28.660 –> 00:25:30.980
and his top hat and sort of the psychedelic gothic
00:25:30.980 –> 00:25:33.000
bedroom with people in monster masks dancing
00:25:33.000 –> 00:25:38.299
around. But in 1970, this seems to be the oldest.
00:25:39.319 –> 00:25:41.420
There were songs about horror and whatnot and
00:25:41.420 –> 00:25:44.059
performances, I believe, before this. But in
00:25:44.059 –> 00:25:46.779
1970, there’s a band called the Radlers that
00:25:46.779 –> 00:25:50.119
did a video for their song Witch that’s kind
00:25:50.119 –> 00:25:53.569
of this eerie out in the woods situation with
00:25:53.569 –> 00:25:56.029
the band and there’s some fog and random ripped
00:25:56.029 –> 00:25:59.289
up newspaper but the singer is a is a woman and
00:25:59.289 –> 00:26:01.609
she’s got long black hair and it’s just got kind
00:26:01.609 –> 00:26:04.849
of this let’s scare jessica to death vibe if
00:26:04.849 –> 00:26:07.990
you’ve seen that movie um but we also always
00:26:07.990 –> 00:26:10.190
think of thriller right that was kind of the
00:26:10.190 –> 00:26:13.569
the watershed moment for this yet before thriller
00:26:13.569 –> 00:26:17.890
in 1981 you had billy idol’s uh post gen x version
00:26:17.890 –> 00:26:21.140
of dancy with myself which was directed by Toby
00:26:21.140 –> 00:26:23.579
Hooper from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame.
00:26:24.299 –> 00:26:27.319
The video is a take on Omega Man from the 1971
00:26:27.319 –> 00:26:29.859
so it’s got this post -apocalyptic thing with
00:26:29.859 –> 00:26:32.059
zombie -esque street people climbing the buildings
00:26:32.059 –> 00:26:35.299
getting electrocuted and dancing stuff like that.
00:26:35.779 –> 00:26:39.519
Then in 82 Pink Floyd released their film The
00:26:39.519 –> 00:26:44.500
Wall which is kind of this night nightmarish
00:26:44.500 –> 00:26:48.019
surreal situation. It’s got kids wearing expressionless
00:26:48.019 –> 00:26:51.849
masks on a conveyor belt, falling into meat grinder,
00:26:52.490 –> 00:26:57.930
things like that. Then in 1983, you had Duran
00:26:57.930 –> 00:27:01.569
Duran releasing the Nightboat video that aired
00:27:01.569 –> 00:27:05.769
and that’s zombie themed in Muscle. Russell McKay,
00:27:05.990 –> 00:27:09.150
he directed that. You know him from Razorback,
00:27:09.369 –> 00:27:13.549
Highlander, Resident Evil Extinction. Then you
00:27:13.549 –> 00:27:17.500
had Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon. video that
00:27:17.500 –> 00:27:20.380
beat Michael Jackson’s Thriller by a month and
00:27:20.380 –> 00:27:24.539
that aired in 1983 and during the month of November
00:27:24.539 –> 00:27:28.160
Thriller was December and then I think we saw
00:27:28.160 –> 00:27:30.839
a lot of stuff come out after that but it’s interesting
00:27:30.839 –> 00:27:33.619
because a lot of horror directors have done music
00:27:33.619 –> 00:27:37.400
videos and the ones we picked I don’t think for
00:27:37.400 –> 00:27:38.779
the most part I think a couple of them might
00:27:38.779 –> 00:27:41.819
have but that’s just your little crash course
00:27:41.819 –> 00:27:45.420
but it’s also worth noting MTV actually aired
00:27:45.420 –> 00:27:48.059
Night of the Living Dead on Halloween in both
00:27:48.059 –> 00:27:53.440
1982 and 83 as its public domain. So obviously
00:27:53.440 –> 00:27:57.160
MTV got down with the horror thing as well. I
00:27:57.160 –> 00:28:00.000
mean, I think it works a lot for music videos
00:28:00.000 –> 00:28:04.180
because the images and horror are very evocative.
00:28:04.779 –> 00:28:06.839
And, you know, if you got like kind of a darker
00:28:06.839 –> 00:28:09.339
song or whatever, it’s I think it’s pretty tempting
00:28:09.339 –> 00:28:12.859
to go to darker images and, you know. It’s good.
00:28:13.079 –> 00:28:14.960
It’s fear is like a really powerful emotion.
00:28:15.160 –> 00:28:18.259
Oh, absolutely. And there’s a lot of imagination
00:28:18.259 –> 00:28:20.480
that goes into it. Yeah, totally. I know I’ve
00:28:20.480 –> 00:28:22.579
said that. Yeah. Well, I mean, that’s what I
00:28:22.579 –> 00:28:26.200
like about music videos is they’re short. And,
00:28:26.240 –> 00:28:27.799
you know, when you’re just setting something
00:28:27.799 –> 00:28:29.900
to music, like we were talking about earlier
00:28:29.900 –> 00:28:33.319
with undertone, you know, the the music so powerful
00:28:33.319 –> 00:28:36.910
and like you can visually. Convey so many cool
00:28:36.910 –> 00:28:39.089
things and like takes you to a transports you
00:28:39.089 –> 00:28:41.369
to a place like pretty quickly and no totally
00:28:41.369 –> 00:28:44.869
I mean as a kid I loved the thriller video not
00:28:44.869 –> 00:28:48.210
my favorite Michael Jackson’s Yeah, but at the
00:28:48.210 –> 00:28:51.230
video just John Landis another notable director.
00:28:51.230 –> 00:28:56.130
Yeah Well all right, so I guess maybe the way
00:28:56.130 –> 00:28:58.910
to do this guys if you agree is we’ll just go
00:28:58.910 –> 00:29:03.630
in a circle and You know each go say one and
00:29:03.630 –> 00:29:05.480
then we’ll kind of go through until we go through
00:29:05.480 –> 00:29:08.200
all five, and we have five each, so that’s 15
00:29:08.200 –> 00:29:12.619
in total. So Peter, why don’t you kick us off
00:29:12.619 –> 00:29:15.460
since I have you listed first for some reason.
00:29:16.039 –> 00:29:19.900
Okay. Since I was talking about the eighties,
00:29:20.019 –> 00:29:23.720
I will go with Sheena Easton’s telephone, in
00:29:23.720 –> 00:29:26.900
parentheses, long distance love affair. I was
00:29:26.900 –> 00:29:29.559
telling a couple friends about this that I thought
00:29:29.559 –> 00:29:32.599
would be interesting, and my friend Daniel Ciplinski,
00:29:32.880 –> 00:29:34.740
Brought up this video which I had seen and I
00:29:34.740 –> 00:29:36.079
was like, oh, yeah, that’s a that’s a lot of
00:29:36.079 –> 00:29:38.640
fun So I wanted to talk about that. Um, it’s
00:29:38.640 –> 00:29:41.779
a catchy 80s pop song with a pulsing beat It’s
00:29:41.779 –> 00:29:44.519
shot in black and white takes place in a castle
00:29:44.519 –> 00:29:47.579
Sheena’s singing her song and it’s a nod to some
00:29:47.579 –> 00:29:51.759
of the classic monsters and their movies I enjoyed
00:29:51.759 –> 00:29:56.400
the animated severed hand playing the piano Then
00:29:56.400 –> 00:29:59.119
you got frankenstein answering the phone. You
00:29:59.119 –> 00:30:02.279
got dracula creeping in on sheena and she she
00:30:02.279 –> 00:30:04.440
gives him the business. By that I mean she’s
00:30:04.440 –> 00:30:06.740
singing her lines at him and backing him up and
00:30:06.740 –> 00:30:09.819
off the balcony. Then we got some gravediggers
00:30:09.819 –> 00:30:13.000
in the graveyard, always classic, and Sheena
00:30:13.000 –> 00:30:15.299
is being stalked by Dracula, Frankenstein, and
00:30:15.299 –> 00:30:18.519
a hunchback, and she is rescued by what looks
00:30:18.519 –> 00:30:20.839
like King Kong’s hand grabbing up and lifting
00:30:20.839 –> 00:30:23.400
her up. It’s just kind of a fun video to see
00:30:23.400 –> 00:30:26.099
who pops up and where it goes. It was directed
00:30:26.099 –> 00:30:29.720
by Steve Baron. He was a pretty prolific music
00:30:29.720 –> 00:30:33.299
director. He shot Michael Jackson, The Jam, Madonna,
00:30:33.559 –> 00:30:35.119
Tears for Fears, David Bowie, tons of other,
00:30:35.200 –> 00:30:37.680
but he also directed the 1990 Teenage Mutant
00:30:37.680 –> 00:30:41.579
Ninja Turtle film. So that’s kind of cool. That
00:30:41.579 –> 00:30:43.579
one was The Jam, man. That was the perfect date
00:30:43.579 –> 00:30:46.519
for that movie. Yeah, that movie. I enjoy that.
00:30:46.599 –> 00:30:48.480
But what’s really funny is another person I was
00:30:48.480 –> 00:30:50.279
telling about this video is our friend David
00:30:50.279 –> 00:30:52.759
Delvalle. And he’s like, oh, yeah, I was on set
00:30:52.759 –> 00:30:56.079
for that. Of course he was um, but he was kind
00:30:56.079 –> 00:30:58.559
of a consultant for the dracula stuff Yeah, yeah
00:30:58.559 –> 00:31:01.460
his and uh just kind of jump in and plug an earlier
00:31:01.460 –> 00:31:04.539
episode we did with david It was from last week.
00:31:04.539 –> 00:31:07.920
I believe so episode five or something. So go
00:31:07.920 –> 00:31:10.140
check that out He told he told me he was in the
00:31:10.140 –> 00:31:12.619
we didn’t start the vi Not in the video but on
00:31:12.619 –> 00:31:14.480
set for we didn’t start the fire by billy jolt
00:31:14.480 –> 00:31:16.720
too, which is pretty cool But the reason david
00:31:16.720 –> 00:31:19.259
was there was I think it was his client was this
00:31:19.259 –> 00:31:22.420
guy tony clay who played frankenstein in the
00:31:22.420 –> 00:31:26.029
video All right. Well, it’s really cool. I mean,
00:31:26.089 –> 00:31:27.470
honestly, we were just talking about The Bride
00:31:27.470 –> 00:31:31.430
and it really it’s totally got that vibe to it.
00:31:31.430 –> 00:31:34.130
And I mean, it’s gorgeous. Like it’s shot so
00:31:34.130 –> 00:31:37.349
well and like it really does kind of evoke that
00:31:37.349 –> 00:31:40.710
sort of golden age of universal monster movies,
00:31:40.710 –> 00:31:44.210
you know. Absolutely. It’s a fun video. And I
00:31:44.210 –> 00:31:47.109
really dig the song. Yeah, it’s catchy. And that’s
00:31:47.109 –> 00:31:48.450
I mean, honestly, that’s what makes it right
00:31:48.450 –> 00:31:54.079
when the song compliments it. Oh, cool. All right.
00:31:54.619 –> 00:31:58.240
So Taffeta, what you got for us? All right. I
00:31:58.240 –> 00:32:00.839
guess I’m what? Why don’t you go flip the coin?
00:32:01.099 –> 00:32:05.779
Arm wrestle. Oh, we should arm wrestle. I can
00:32:05.779 –> 00:32:09.380
go last until I get gone last. Fine. Fine. I
00:32:09.380 –> 00:32:12.059
guess I’ll go. So the first one I’m going to
00:32:12.059 –> 00:32:14.420
mention is this is like kind of horror light,
00:32:14.420 –> 00:32:18.640
but you’ll you could see the connection. It’s
00:32:18.640 –> 00:32:22.390
bad for lashes. What’s a girl to do? Which? Just
00:32:22.390 –> 00:32:26.190
I actually liked the song first and then I saw
00:32:26.190 –> 00:32:27.849
the video and it made me like it even more because
00:32:27.849 –> 00:32:32.910
it’s like this is like circa 2013 2012 something
00:32:32.910 –> 00:32:37.329
like that and let me Read the dates for all the
00:32:37.329 –> 00:32:41.910
other ones But basically the video is shot out
00:32:41.910 –> 00:32:43.930
of the back of a car or some kind of you know
00:32:43.930 –> 00:32:48.289
moving vehicle and Back for lashes or forget
00:32:48.289 –> 00:32:53.609
her name The primary woman artist. Anyways, she’s
00:32:53.609 –> 00:32:56.849
riding a BMX bike and singing and doing a little
00:32:56.849 –> 00:32:59.410
light choreography. And then on the choruses,
00:33:00.150 –> 00:33:03.930
these other guys or mysterious people on BMX
00:33:03.930 –> 00:33:06.130
is kind of fan out behind her and they’re all
00:33:06.130 –> 00:33:10.630
wearing like masks and they do the choreography
00:33:10.630 –> 00:33:13.890
with her. And it’s shot with like a basically
00:33:13.890 –> 00:33:17.019
a giant spotlight next to the camera. So. The
00:33:17.019 –> 00:33:19.359
woods and everything they’re on this lone road
00:33:19.359 –> 00:33:22.119
the woods fade into black and it’s just got that
00:33:22.119 –> 00:33:25.980
kind of creepy Vibe to it and it just works with
00:33:25.980 –> 00:33:28.559
the song. I think very well. Yeah. No, I agree
00:33:28.559 –> 00:33:31.119
I had not seen that or heard the song and enjoyed
00:33:31.119 –> 00:33:33.940
both of them. Yeah, I like the the animal masks.
00:33:34.000 –> 00:33:39.079
It’s kind of a It feels a little folk horror
00:33:39.079 –> 00:33:41.920
with a mask. Oh, yeah, but it also feels like
00:33:41.920 –> 00:33:44.319
I don’t know why it reminded me of Donnie Darko
00:33:44.769 –> 00:33:46.569
Don’t know. I don’t even know the bunny rabbit.
00:33:46.589 –> 00:33:48.369
There’s a bunny rabbit mask. Okay, maybe that’s
00:33:48.369 –> 00:33:50.190
it I don’t know if the bike riding is part of
00:33:50.190 –> 00:33:52.289
it, but oh and the bike ready, right? Yeah, but
00:33:52.289 –> 00:33:54.650
yeah It was it’s a cool song and it’s yeah had
00:33:54.650 –> 00:33:56.829
a nice vibe to it It’s such a simple concept
00:33:56.829 –> 00:33:59.269
because literally the whole music video is just
00:33:59.269 –> 00:34:02.089
one take them riding behind the car And it’s
00:34:02.089 –> 00:34:04.609
like a little tiny BMX dance with these spooky
00:34:04.609 –> 00:34:06.930
little characters the synchronized hand claps
00:34:06.930 –> 00:34:08.690
and like yeah little stunts They do on their
00:34:08.690 –> 00:34:11.969
bodies. Yeah is really cool. Yeah. Yeah, totally
00:34:12.730 –> 00:34:16.269
All right, Tabitha, what you got? Tabitha, fuck,
00:34:16.369 –> 00:34:20.449
what is going on? I don’t know. I’m piggybacking
00:34:20.449 –> 00:34:23.630
off the 80s vibe that Peter had earlier, like
00:34:23.630 –> 00:34:25.329
self -control by Laura Branigan was like one
00:34:25.329 –> 00:34:27.590
of my favorites growing up before I even really
00:34:27.590 –> 00:34:29.769
knew why. Like it already kind of I mean, the
00:34:29.769 –> 00:34:31.800
song is like. the chorus like she’s a creature
00:34:31.800 –> 00:34:33.659
of the night. So instantly my little brain was
00:34:33.659 –> 00:34:35.539
like, oh, monsters, you know, but it’s a different
00:34:35.539 –> 00:34:37.820
kind of monster in the sense to where it’s like,
00:34:37.820 –> 00:34:39.500
you know, she’s being stalked by a guy who has
00:34:39.500 –> 00:34:41.420
like a creepy mask on, which is fucking creepy
00:34:41.420 –> 00:34:44.099
in general. Just the older you get, you’re like,
00:34:44.099 –> 00:34:46.480
oh, this is a possibility. So I think maybe that’s
00:34:46.480 –> 00:34:48.699
it’s translated and it’s horror meaning for me
00:34:48.699 –> 00:34:50.760
earlier in my youth. I was like, oh, monsters.
00:34:50.940 –> 00:34:55.880
Now it’s like, oh, the man monster. Sorry. It’s
00:34:55.880 –> 00:34:59.369
a real threat. You know, essentially it was just
00:34:59.369 –> 00:35:01.750
like the allure of the night is what her thing
00:35:01.750 –> 00:35:04.769
is. But you mentioned earlier about how former
00:35:04.769 –> 00:35:07.929
directors, you know, do music videos. And this
00:35:07.929 –> 00:35:10.550
one was done by William Friedkin. Oh, no shit.
00:35:10.570 –> 00:35:12.849
I did not know that. Who had, you know, he’s
00:35:12.849 –> 00:35:14.610
known for being the award winning director of
00:35:14.610 –> 00:35:18.170
The Exorcist. And this was also one of the first
00:35:18.170 –> 00:35:20.389
times that a major Oscar winning director had
00:35:20.389 –> 00:35:22.269
like teamed up for a music video that was still
00:35:22.269 –> 00:35:25.130
considered like, you know, not as like a lesser
00:35:25.130 –> 00:35:29.269
form of, you know, production or whatever. And
00:35:29.269 –> 00:35:30.750
then the other thing I found was that it was
00:35:30.750 –> 00:35:32.710
actually the first music video to be banned by
00:35:32.710 –> 00:35:35.110
a solo artist because it was so like sexual and
00:35:35.110 –> 00:35:38.210
so like into window with that stuff. Which tracks
00:35:38.210 –> 00:35:40.170
for me because like just watching the video and
00:35:40.170 –> 00:35:42.469
just listening to that song, it’s kind of tantric
00:35:42.469 –> 00:35:44.250
in its own like fucking way and it’s just so
00:35:44.250 –> 00:35:46.610
good. But there is still like that mystery of
00:35:46.610 –> 00:35:49.389
like, you know, who’s fucking, you know, I don’t
00:35:49.389 –> 00:35:51.210
know who’s fucking, but like who’s fucking like
00:35:51.210 –> 00:35:56.340
chasing me. In the dark and that’s just something
00:35:56.340 –> 00:35:58.420
that hit with me at an early age. It just just
00:35:58.420 –> 00:36:01.219
all of it together It’s just so I know it’s just
00:36:01.219 –> 00:36:03.860
it’s it’s isoteric and the sense that there’s
00:36:03.860 –> 00:36:06.179
like, you know horror in lot Not knowing I don’t
00:36:06.179 –> 00:36:08.679
know. So that was one of my picks I yeah My take
00:36:08.679 –> 00:36:10.679
on it was I was when I saw the guy the mascot
00:36:10.679 –> 00:36:13.000
made me think of Phantom of the Opera for some
00:36:13.000 –> 00:36:15.820
reason But I exactly I hear what you’re saying.
00:36:15.880 –> 00:36:19.159
I like the hands popping out of the walls And
00:36:19.159 –> 00:36:22.739
I mentioned Dan splinsky his band the vigils
00:36:22.739 –> 00:36:26.349
covers that Nice I love that song so magical
00:36:26.349 –> 00:36:29.849
cool song. Yeah, I really this video to me is
00:36:29.849 –> 00:36:34.349
really cool. It’s like the perfect 80s like the
00:36:34.349 –> 00:36:37.590
cinematography is incredible and it’s like a
00:36:37.590 –> 00:36:40.030
Patrick Nagel print come to life, you know, it’s
00:36:40.030 –> 00:36:43.789
like so good and I don’t know it’s my jam like
00:36:43.789 –> 00:36:45.329
Patrick Nagel is like when I big influence is
00:36:45.329 –> 00:36:48.030
like I love that Essence of the 80s. I want to
00:36:48.030 –> 00:36:51.510
be an ego girl. So totally totally All right,
00:36:51.610 –> 00:36:54.949
Peter. What do you got? We’re back on me. Um,
00:36:55.389 –> 00:36:57.329
let’s see. What should what should I talk about
00:36:57.329 –> 00:37:01.929
next? I’ll talk about the band dead soft in their
00:37:01.929 –> 00:37:05.530
video for step out I believe they’re Canadian
00:37:05.530 –> 00:37:08.110
and it’s it’s interesting because this was new
00:37:08.110 –> 00:37:11.510
to me but I just I was captivated with the video
00:37:11.510 –> 00:37:13.789
the song the music is kind of like Weezer which
00:37:13.789 –> 00:37:19.110
is I Sort of like indie rock slight into punk,
00:37:19.130 –> 00:37:22.860
I guess but the contrast is what I found to be
00:37:22.860 –> 00:37:25.900
captivating. It’s kind of starts out with this
00:37:25.900 –> 00:37:29.639
bucolic and coastal daylight shots that gradually
00:37:29.639 –> 00:37:33.179
get more unsettling, more unsettling, Jesus.
00:37:35.019 –> 00:37:37.260
Basically, it’s a series of vignettes from horror
00:37:37.260 –> 00:37:39.880
movies. Like it feels like, hey, if someone took
00:37:39.880 –> 00:37:43.739
shots from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it
00:37:43.739 –> 00:37:47.639
was in a coastal northwest setting. and kind
00:37:47.639 –> 00:37:51.179
of put it together so you have the singers blindfolded
00:37:51.179 –> 00:37:54.219
on the ground awaiting his fate there’s a silhouette
00:37:54.219 –> 00:37:56.780
and a guy with a hat on a rocky shore approaching
00:37:56.780 –> 00:37:59.659
a couple then it’s a cut to the rock on the ground
00:37:59.659 –> 00:38:02.519
as if he struck them someone falling into the
00:38:02.519 –> 00:38:06.239
ocean more shots of town weirdos than night close
00:38:06.239 –> 00:38:09.219
-up of the singers bloody mouth singing a man
00:38:09.219 –> 00:38:12.619
in a white executioner mask with a pickaxe approaching
00:38:12.619 –> 00:38:18.400
the camera through a barn Bloody buzz saws So
00:38:18.400 –> 00:38:20.639
it’s just kind of this uneasy escalation of events
00:38:20.639 –> 00:38:22.539
that feel like yeah They were lifted from the
00:38:22.539 –> 00:38:25.400
texas chainsaw massacre. It was somewhere else
00:38:25.400 –> 00:38:28.019
Yeah, and you know part of that. It’s is the
00:38:28.019 –> 00:38:30.619
it looks it’s probably shot in film It’s hard
00:38:30.619 –> 00:38:32.679
to tell 100 % because you can fake it really
00:38:32.679 –> 00:38:34.800
well now, but I think that gives it that vibe
00:38:34.800 –> 00:38:39.539
too Is that 16 mil like yeah grainy? Yeah, and
00:38:39.539 –> 00:38:42.159
you know you get a lot of that type of look in
00:38:42.159 –> 00:38:45.469
these types of music videos, too, right? So yeah,
00:38:45.550 –> 00:38:47.849
it was it was a pleasant surprise because I never
00:38:47.849 –> 00:38:49.929
knew about that. Yeah, it looks great. Definitely
00:38:49.929 –> 00:38:53.170
evokes the like 70s and has like, you know, kind
00:38:53.170 –> 00:38:55.610
of the occult tarot card thing going on. I love
00:38:55.610 –> 00:39:00.869
the tarot card usage. All right. And for me,
00:39:01.170 –> 00:39:07.070
my next one is going to be Woodkid, Run Boy Run,
00:39:07.090 –> 00:39:10.449
which is also not strictly speaking horror in
00:39:10.449 –> 00:39:12.090
the traditional sense, but I kind of broadened
00:39:12.090 –> 00:39:14.920
a little bit to be. this is like fantasy horror
00:39:14.920 –> 00:39:17.179
kind of like from a perspective of a little boy
00:39:17.179 –> 00:39:20.679
and maybe I part of why it resonates with me
00:39:20.679 –> 00:39:22.320
at this particular moment is you know, cuz I
00:39:22.320 –> 00:39:25.159
have a two -year -old was gonna be two in like
00:39:25.159 –> 00:39:27.940
a couple weeks and You know, you kind of when
00:39:27.940 –> 00:39:29.480
you have a kid it you start looking at the world
00:39:29.480 –> 00:39:32.059
again like, you know He kind of reminds you of
00:39:32.059 –> 00:39:33.900
like what it was like to be a kid and what I
00:39:33.900 –> 00:39:37.139
like about this music video is it’s also beautifully
00:39:37.139 –> 00:39:39.960
shot black and white I think primarily shot on
00:39:39.960 –> 00:39:42.559
a soundstage, but it’s Made to look like it’s
00:39:42.559 –> 00:39:44.679
out in the wilderness and you have these kind
00:39:44.679 –> 00:39:46.820
of this kid just running and you don’t know why
00:39:46.820 –> 00:39:50.079
he’s running and the music Is like kind of perfect
00:39:50.079 –> 00:39:51.900
for this I mean everyone who’s listening has
00:39:51.900 –> 00:39:53.980
probably heard this song like it’s really obviously
00:39:53.980 –> 00:39:57.460
really big song and But if you haven’t seen a
00:39:57.460 –> 00:39:58.800
music video you absolutely should because it’s
00:39:58.800 –> 00:40:01.400
like I can’t think of a better music video for
00:40:01.400 –> 00:40:03.639
the song So but it’s about this kid and he’s
00:40:03.639 –> 00:40:05.260
like running and you don’t know why he’s running
00:40:05.260 –> 00:40:06.960
and all of a sudden these like monsters jump
00:40:06.960 –> 00:40:11.230
out and a lot of this is in slow motion and the
00:40:11.230 –> 00:40:14.889
monsters you think they’re chasing him and then
00:40:14.889 –> 00:40:17.610
by the end of the music video at the like the
00:40:17.610 –> 00:40:19.769
bridge and all that he like the monster picks
00:40:19.769 –> 00:40:21.349
up the boy and you realize that you’re trying
00:40:21.349 –> 00:40:24.469
to like save him and it just kind of the theme
00:40:24.469 –> 00:40:27.429
of it you know it’s like you know when you’re
00:40:27.429 –> 00:40:29.210
a kid it’s like you you’re scared of a lot of
00:40:29.210 –> 00:40:31.449
things but sometimes those things actually are
00:40:31.449 –> 00:40:33.929
there to help you or like you know i just like
00:40:33.929 –> 00:40:35.710
that twist it’s like hard to put a twist in a
00:40:35.710 –> 00:40:38.610
music video but they they nailed it It reminded
00:40:38.610 –> 00:40:41.489
me of and I had never heard the song. I don’t
00:40:41.489 –> 00:40:43.210
know like maybe I just don’t listen to the radio
00:40:43.210 –> 00:40:45.110
or something Well, it’s not your genre. That’s
00:40:45.110 –> 00:40:48.250
for sure But it reminded me of kind of like an
00:40:48.250 –> 00:40:50.590
homage to where the wild things are like that.
00:40:50.590 –> 00:40:53.969
That was my reaction to it Yeah, very cinematic.
00:40:53.969 –> 00:40:56.070
I liked how it looked for sure Yeah, the monsters
00:40:56.070 –> 00:40:58.030
are basically like kind of like the monsters
00:40:58.030 –> 00:41:00.110
from the where the wild things are But wasn’t
00:41:00.110 –> 00:41:02.170
was he wearing a crown to or my imagining? Yeah,
00:41:02.170 –> 00:41:04.630
I think so I mean, there’s some imagery going
00:41:04.630 –> 00:41:06.960
in there that maybe goes over my head You know,
00:41:07.000 –> 00:41:09.860
because I think the wood kit as a project. I’m
00:41:09.860 –> 00:41:11.900
not mistaken. I’m not like a huge fan, so I don’t
00:41:11.900 –> 00:41:13.619
know a lot about it. But I think I remember hearing
00:41:13.619 –> 00:41:16.340
that. It’s kind of like an art project where
00:41:16.340 –> 00:41:22.280
there’s like a whole like ontology story behind,
00:41:22.280 –> 00:41:26.300
you know, the like the songs and the like lyrics
00:41:26.300 –> 00:41:28.000
and stuff. But I’m not 100 percent. Don’t quote
00:41:28.000 –> 00:41:33.440
me on that. So Taffeta, what you got? You’re
00:41:33.440 –> 00:41:35.380
gonna keep calling my name all day. Just don’t
00:41:35.380 –> 00:41:37.420
say my name. Just don’t say my name. It’s fine.
00:41:38.500 –> 00:41:40.679
You can just point. Just point. If you call her
00:41:40.679 –> 00:41:43.739
Taff, then you’ll… Unless you call her Tab.
00:41:44.099 –> 00:41:45.940
Well, I think it’s because we were having that
00:41:45.940 –> 00:41:48.500
conversation before we recorded with Cathy and
00:41:48.500 –> 00:41:50.460
the like, whatever. So now I’m just like going
00:41:50.460 –> 00:41:52.000
through my library. Yeah, because you said the
00:41:52.000 –> 00:41:55.159
wrong name then too. Did I? I think so. What?
00:41:55.320 –> 00:41:58.840
Did I say Tab at the end too? Listen, listen.
00:41:59.159 –> 00:42:01.960
It’s a thing. It’s fine. The real horror is getting
00:42:01.960 –> 00:42:06.820
old. That is the real horror. I kind of stuck
00:42:06.820 –> 00:42:08.739
with the same 80s, you know, because these were
00:42:08.739 –> 00:42:11.239
songs that were formative for me. And I went
00:42:11.239 –> 00:42:14.260
with Rockwell’s Somebody’s Watching Me again
00:42:14.260 –> 00:42:17.139
with like, you know, that voyeurism, that mystique
00:42:17.139 –> 00:42:19.199
and that esoteric, you know, OK, like in this
00:42:19.199 –> 00:42:20.559
time, I guess it’s from like, you know, the other
00:42:20.559 –> 00:42:22.179
point of view instead of like Laura’s now we’ve
00:42:22.179 –> 00:42:25.219
got Rockwell’s. And I just thought, you know,
00:42:25.280 –> 00:42:26.679
I just remember thinking that was just really
00:42:26.679 –> 00:42:28.280
creepy back in the day. I don’t know. Maybe I
00:42:28.280 –> 00:42:29.619
was stalked in when I was younger and I didn’t
00:42:29.619 –> 00:42:31.519
know that these and now I’m having all these
00:42:31.519 –> 00:42:33.599
videos that scare me as people being stalked.
00:42:33.719 –> 00:42:36.780
Maybe you stalk someone. Maybe I have been stalked
00:42:36.780 –> 00:42:38.480
actually in my in my later years. And that is
00:42:38.480 –> 00:42:40.159
quite creepy. So maybe that’s what still resonates
00:42:40.159 –> 00:42:45.519
with me. See, this one’s interesting because
00:42:45.519 –> 00:42:48.260
it’s kind of got a VHS look to it. It does. It
00:42:48.260 –> 00:42:49.840
does. And it’s got a lot of like, you know, history
00:42:49.840 –> 00:42:51.260
in the background, because I guess like the actual
00:42:51.260 –> 00:42:54.059
singer. Rockwell is Kennedy William Gordy, who
00:42:54.059 –> 00:42:56.440
is the son of Motown fan, founder Barry Gordy.
00:42:56.500 –> 00:42:57.639
And so that’s how they were able to get like
00:42:57.639 –> 00:42:59.719
all the Jackson five, Michael and Durene, I guess,
00:42:59.820 –> 00:43:01.760
from like the five, two of them, Michael and
00:43:01.760 –> 00:43:04.139
Jermaine, who did the background vocals and stuff.
00:43:04.139 –> 00:43:06.219
And I guess the lyrical inspiration in line about
00:43:06.219 –> 00:43:08.980
being afraid to wash one’s hair. I guess it was
00:43:08.980 –> 00:43:10.340
some prank he used to play on his girlfriend.
00:43:10.659 –> 00:43:13.380
So. I don’t know how that makes it really scary,
00:43:13.380 –> 00:43:15.139
but it was just one of those videos that just
00:43:15.139 –> 00:43:17.659
kind of stuck with me. It was also kind of ominous.
00:43:17.920 –> 00:43:20.000
Totally. Well, it’s got the POV, right? Like
00:43:20.000 –> 00:43:22.880
the cameras following Rockwell. Like you’re the
00:43:22.880 –> 00:43:24.699
stalker in that video. Maybe that’s it. Yeah.
00:43:24.699 –> 00:43:27.739
Yeah, cool. And there’s like fun little details.
00:43:28.039 –> 00:43:31.380
Like he turned the shower is dripping blood instead
00:43:31.380 –> 00:43:33.559
of water and things like that that I noticed
00:43:33.559 –> 00:43:37.239
that I hadn’t before. Fun fact, Rockwell has
00:43:37.239 –> 00:43:40.090
a song called Peeping Tom also touched. That’s
00:43:40.090 –> 00:43:42.730
from The Last Dragon. So it’s also kind of about
00:43:42.730 –> 00:43:46.389
like this paranoia. And I mentioned Dan, Daniel
00:43:46.389 –> 00:43:49.829
Sapulinski. He knows Rockwell. Oh, wow. He took
00:43:49.829 –> 00:43:52.849
him to an 80s night and they played that like
00:43:52.849 –> 00:43:55.670
unexpectedly. How fun. Kind of made his night.
00:43:56.150 –> 00:43:58.570
Yeah, that’s great. And the way it shot, it shot
00:43:58.570 –> 00:44:00.889
kind of like almost like Hitchcock it. Yeah.
00:44:00.949 –> 00:44:02.750
You know, the point of view and, you know, you
00:44:02.750 –> 00:44:04.630
actually be in like, you know, the stock or whatever.
00:44:04.650 –> 00:44:06.829
And I think that also just kind of adds to it.
00:44:07.050 –> 00:44:09.900
It’s funny. Like spook. We’re talking about these,
00:44:10.039 –> 00:44:12.159
you know, what this made like 50 years ago now
00:44:12.159 –> 00:44:15.980
or almost. Oh, God. Not quite that long, but,
00:44:16.119 –> 00:44:19.179
you know, but, you know, it’s funny because I
00:44:19.179 –> 00:44:22.260
comment as I get the VHS look and it does. But
00:44:22.260 –> 00:44:25.119
the funny thing is, is that that was just, you
00:44:25.119 –> 00:44:27.159
know, how it looked then. Yeah. But like now
00:44:27.159 –> 00:44:29.159
we get the benefit of looking back and a lot
00:44:29.159 –> 00:44:32.880
of our ideas of what. Horror imagery is it’s
00:44:32.880 –> 00:44:35.019
like this found footage kind of like VHS look
00:44:35.019 –> 00:44:37.579
and so yeah, it’s like it only got better with
00:44:37.579 –> 00:44:40.000
time It’s like wine. Yeah. Yeah. What did you
00:44:40.000 –> 00:44:42.039
like when I remember hearing that as a little
00:44:42.039 –> 00:44:44.400
kid? I’m like that sounds like Michael Jackson,
00:44:44.539 –> 00:44:46.840
but that he’s not singing the other part. So
00:44:46.840 –> 00:44:50.820
yeah Yeah, I totally did and it wasn’t yeah until
00:44:50.820 –> 00:44:52.679
later on. I was like, oh it is It’s also like
00:44:52.679 –> 00:44:55.139
his appearance on the Simpsons If you don’t know
00:44:55.139 –> 00:44:57.420
the hook people if you’re like, what song is
00:44:57.420 –> 00:44:59.420
this? It’s Michael Jackson sings the hook and
00:44:59.420 –> 00:45:03.079
it’s a very catchy Hook and it’s got a cool the
00:45:03.079 –> 00:45:05.380
organ, you know, the yeah again the organ adds
00:45:05.380 –> 00:45:08.800
to that that that that era of you know Phantom
00:45:08.800 –> 00:45:11.079
of the opera right right and it’s probably a
00:45:11.079 –> 00:45:13.159
good time to mention that You know, we’re not
00:45:13.159 –> 00:45:15.699
really playing them for a number of reasons right
00:45:15.699 –> 00:45:19.380
now But mostly for time but also just for copyright
00:45:19.380 –> 00:45:22.099
reasons, right? Yeah, so go to our website We’re
00:45:22.099 –> 00:45:24.239
gonna link to all of these and in the show notes
00:45:24.239 –> 00:45:27.500
and you can see what we’re talking about All
00:45:27.500 –> 00:45:30.409
right, Peter. What’s your next one? All right,
00:45:30.409 –> 00:45:34.849
so this one takes us to 1992 and part of the
00:45:34.849 –> 00:45:37.030
reason that I think this is very interesting
00:45:37.030 –> 00:45:40.829
is because I was a fan of the band around then.
00:45:40.829 –> 00:45:43.150
I’m talking about Nine Inch Nails and people
00:45:43.150 –> 00:45:45.750
look at like closer and think you know all right
00:45:45.750 –> 00:45:48.349
that’s kind of horror but it’s really the whole
00:45:48.349 –> 00:45:50.710
and this is a cheat but it’s the broken movie
00:45:50.710 –> 00:45:55.050
because it was banned or it just was not released
00:45:55.050 –> 00:45:57.369
or kind of a combination thereof but it was storied
00:45:57.369 –> 00:46:00.260
like you’re like the wish video that Nine Inch
00:46:00.260 –> 00:46:03.380
Nails had was out and the beginning of this was
00:46:03.380 –> 00:46:06.360
used for Alternative Nation. But there was, I
00:46:06.360 –> 00:46:08.260
just remember hearing about it. So I did not
00:46:08.260 –> 00:46:11.199
see this until like 10 years ago when I was shocked
00:46:11.199 –> 00:46:13.920
at how rough this was. I was like, holy fuck.
00:46:14.039 –> 00:46:16.019
I saw it in high school, actually. I wish I did.
00:46:16.239 –> 00:46:18.300
Well, I knew someone in my school was like a
00:46:18.300 –> 00:46:20.659
big Nine Inch Nails fan and had like a secret
00:46:20.659 –> 00:46:24.840
copy of it. Yeah. And so this has some wild backstory.
00:46:25.119 –> 00:46:27.199
If you’re not familiar with Nine Inch Nails.
00:46:27.719 –> 00:46:30.619
Music is I mean, how could you you have to be
00:46:30.619 –> 00:46:35.260
I feel like But broken was a Trent Reznor’s response
00:46:35.260 –> 00:46:37.619
to the record label. I think he’s really pissed
00:46:37.619 –> 00:46:41.260
off. So it’s a pissed off EP. It’s great It’s
00:46:41.260 –> 00:46:45.119
my favorite thing that he’s done, too And so
00:46:45.119 –> 00:46:47.260
he decided to take some of that money and make
00:46:47.260 –> 00:46:49.679
this that couldn’t be released and I think he
00:46:49.679 –> 00:46:53.179
felt like it it went a little overboard And maybe
00:46:53.179 –> 00:46:56.179
it did but basically it’s not all the tracks
00:46:56.179 –> 00:46:59.239
off of it But it’s pretty bleak and disturbing.
00:46:59.659 –> 00:47:02.380
It’s about 20 minutes long. I don’t want to spoil
00:47:02.380 –> 00:47:05.039
everything. But it’s basically like Nine Inch
00:47:05.039 –> 00:47:09.420
Nails made this stuff snuff film where a guy’s
00:47:09.420 –> 00:47:12.719
getting tortured in very harrowing ways and the
00:47:12.719 –> 00:47:16.300
TV’s playing, you know, his music videos in between
00:47:16.300 –> 00:47:19.300
these sequences. And then there’s a hanging of
00:47:19.300 –> 00:47:23.760
an individual. It’s all in black and white. And
00:47:23.760 –> 00:47:27.280
yeah, it’s graphic. It’s unsettling. People when
00:47:27.280 –> 00:47:30.679
they saw a copy of this or rumored to question
00:47:30.679 –> 00:47:34.079
if this was authentic. And I remember that rumor.
00:47:34.179 –> 00:47:35.940
That was that was what was going around. Yeah.
00:47:35.940 –> 00:47:40.320
And then Peter Christopherson of the band Throbbing
00:47:40.320 –> 00:47:41.920
Gristle was the one who compiled it. There’s
00:47:41.920 –> 00:47:44.320
a couple of directors who did different videos.
00:47:45.300 –> 00:47:48.940
But yeah. And Trent Reznor, I think, was also
00:47:48.940 –> 00:47:51.599
concerned that this would overshadow the music
00:47:51.599 –> 00:47:54.860
if it got out. So I think he made copies for
00:47:54.860 –> 00:47:57.840
friends. It was a simpler time back then. But
00:47:57.840 –> 00:48:00.300
it’s it also, you know, created all this lore.
00:48:01.159 –> 00:48:03.480
And I mean, I will say like what I found the
00:48:03.480 –> 00:48:05.719
most disturbing is one of the earlier videos,
00:48:05.739 –> 00:48:07.880
I think it’s for Pinyon, which was used for one
00:48:07.880 –> 00:48:09.780
hundred and twenty minutes. Sorry. Alternative
00:48:09.780 –> 00:48:12.340
Nation, where it’s like black and white and you
00:48:12.340 –> 00:48:15.579
see a toilet flush and there’s some black substance.
00:48:15.920 –> 00:48:17.940
Use your imagination what that is. You kind of
00:48:17.940 –> 00:48:19.739
follow it through the tubing, which I think is
00:48:19.739 –> 00:48:22.239
transparent for the shot. And it’s an instrumental
00:48:22.239 –> 00:48:24.760
track that just kind of gets louder and louder.
00:48:24.969 –> 00:48:28.610
And it goes into feeds into a guy’s mask. It’s
00:48:28.610 –> 00:48:31.429
like a S &M bondage mask. He’s kind of tied up
00:48:31.429 –> 00:48:34.989
and it’s feeding him shit. He’s being force fed
00:48:34.989 –> 00:48:37.829
feces and he’s thrashing around and it’s just
00:48:37.829 –> 00:48:40.369
fucking shocking. Even even to me now. It is
00:48:40.369 –> 00:48:43.329
very it is very shocking even to this day. I
00:48:43.329 –> 00:48:45.590
think what makes it so effective is like, I mean,
00:48:45.630 –> 00:48:48.010
this was the 90s, but this is basically kind
00:48:48.010 –> 00:48:51.090
of like a found footage piece. And it’s a realism.
00:48:51.710 –> 00:48:56.670
Yeah. It just goes to show you how how impactful
00:48:56.670 –> 00:48:59.909
horror imagery can be. You can get things banned.
00:49:00.230 –> 00:49:02.550
And all the videos are like different too, that
00:49:02.550 –> 00:49:04.210
are shown. Well, and it’s, you know, it’s wading
00:49:04.210 –> 00:49:08.210
into the taboo. You know, like particularly nowadays,
00:49:08.230 –> 00:49:09.909
like feels like nothing’s taboo anymore. But
00:49:09.909 –> 00:49:12.269
back then, you know, it was very taboo. Well,
00:49:12.289 –> 00:49:14.090
that’s what shocked me is like, I saw it like
00:49:14.090 –> 00:49:16.789
10 years ago. I was like, Jesus Christ. And I’ve
00:49:16.789 –> 00:49:19.429
seen much like considerably worse things than
00:49:19.429 –> 00:49:21.869
this. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if Peter’s taken aback,
00:49:21.949 –> 00:49:26.260
you never know. Right on I guess I’m up to bat
00:49:26.260 –> 00:49:32.099
and I wanted to talk about So this artist I think
00:49:32.099 –> 00:49:33.920
it might even be two artists collaborating I
00:49:33.920 –> 00:49:35.300
know very little about him which is hilarious
00:49:35.300 –> 00:49:37.099
because I actually liked the song before I saw
00:49:37.099 –> 00:49:42.320
the video But it’s zoo zhu and Nero or zoo Nero
00:49:42.320 –> 00:49:44.760
might be it just I don’t know I think kind of
00:49:44.760 –> 00:49:47.380
like See, I’m gonna I’m gonna embarrass myself
00:49:47.380 –> 00:49:49.739
for the people who know them out there or no
00:49:49.739 –> 00:49:54.059
or Him I don’t know. It could be a DJ could be
00:49:54.059 –> 00:49:57.639
an artist. That song is great though, because
00:49:57.639 –> 00:50:02.559
there’s no vocals really. And the song is called
00:50:02.559 –> 00:50:05.800
Dreams and it’s from, it’s in 2017 and the video
00:50:05.800 –> 00:50:07.980
is directed by Elliot Sellers and Eric Ferguson.
00:50:08.380 –> 00:50:12.880
And I was really stoked to see the video because
00:50:12.880 –> 00:50:16.119
I don’t know, I think it’s a really kind of cool
00:50:16.119 –> 00:50:20.300
concept. It’s like all of these CGI naked people
00:50:20.300 –> 00:50:23.980
in like a pile. They’re like dancing and then
00:50:23.980 –> 00:50:25.159
they get thrown up in the air and they end up
00:50:25.159 –> 00:50:27.500
in a big pile and like it’s just kind of hard
00:50:27.500 –> 00:50:30.260
to explain But what if you see it? It just looks
00:50:30.260 –> 00:50:32.539
cool a lot of like flashing lights and the dancing
00:50:32.539 –> 00:50:34.519
is like it’s like uncanny valley like the way
00:50:34.519 –> 00:50:36.559
they move their bodies and stuff which is just
00:50:36.559 –> 00:50:39.099
creepy and unsettling because of that alone,
00:50:39.159 –> 00:50:41.400
but you know when you pair with the music and
00:50:41.400 –> 00:50:44.539
the lighting and the you know the piles of these
00:50:44.539 –> 00:50:47.280
people in the end it’s like, you know, it’s it’s
00:50:47.280 –> 00:50:50.260
kind of got a Very weird and it’s in there. I
00:50:50.260 –> 00:50:53.820
should mention super Not safe for work because
00:50:53.820 –> 00:50:57.420
everybody’s naked naked They’re all CGI, but
00:50:57.420 –> 00:50:59.239
they’re naked there a lot of naked people. Oh,
00:50:59.280 –> 00:51:01.219
I should have that disclaimer for the nine -inch
00:51:01.219 –> 00:51:03.840
nails Yeah, there’s some nudity in the nine -inch
00:51:03.840 –> 00:51:06.960
nails video as well. I guess But yeah, did you
00:51:06.960 –> 00:51:08.579
guys what’d you guys think? Did you see it? So
00:51:08.579 –> 00:51:11.360
the the all the bodies it that actually reminded
00:51:11.360 –> 00:51:15.300
me of that shot Jeepers creepers Where there’s
00:51:15.300 –> 00:51:17.900
all these body like I wonder if that imagery
00:51:17.900 –> 00:51:19.699
was where they got the idea though. It’s very
00:51:19.699 –> 00:51:22.869
different A devil’s advocate for me, too, whenever,
00:51:22.869 –> 00:51:24.309
like, Puccino’s doing that whole thing with the
00:51:24.309 –> 00:51:25.849
red behind him, and, like, he’s got all these
00:51:25.849 –> 00:51:27.570
souls and bodies, like, all around him, and he’s
00:51:27.570 –> 00:51:32.050
like, I’m gonna be with me. No? I was like, oh,
00:51:32.250 –> 00:51:34.369
that’s where my mind went, but yes. No, no, that
00:51:34.369 –> 00:51:36.849
makes… Yeah, it’s good. I think that’s, like,
00:51:36.849 –> 00:51:39.329
kind of a Dante’s Inferno, like, going back to,
00:51:39.329 –> 00:51:41.769
you know, the middle century, the idea of hell,
00:51:41.849 –> 00:51:44.010
all these, like, thrashing… The original horror.
00:51:44.710 –> 00:51:47.550
…bodies in pain, you know? Yeah, yeah. It’s
00:51:47.550 –> 00:51:50.030
a cool video. Yeah, I found it pretty captivating.
00:51:50.210 –> 00:51:53.809
Yeah. And the music’s just kind of driving and
00:51:53.809 –> 00:51:56.769
like, like kind of a dark dance thing. And so
00:51:56.769 –> 00:52:01.570
you got these weird disembodied zombie CGI in
00:52:01.570 –> 00:52:06.050
County Valley things just dancing. Antaphida,
00:52:06.050 –> 00:52:10.210
you’re up. Well, my next couple are just kind
00:52:10.210 –> 00:52:11.710
of like, you know, maybe stretches or whatever,
00:52:11.730 –> 00:52:14.550
but also happy International Women’s Day and
00:52:14.550 –> 00:52:17.750
the next. artist I have is Miraker, who I fucking
00:52:17.750 –> 00:52:21.090
love. And she’s like this, you know, Nordic pagan
00:52:21.090 –> 00:52:24.090
black metal singer. And I found her like years
00:52:24.090 –> 00:52:26.869
ago and just fell in love with her. And this
00:52:26.869 –> 00:52:28.570
video from Mothlike, it’s pretty creepy. It’s
00:52:28.570 –> 00:52:30.190
kind of haunting. It’s like in the black and
00:52:30.190 –> 00:52:31.829
black and white a little bit. And it’s in the
00:52:31.829 –> 00:52:33.530
woods. And there’s all these like, you know,
00:52:33.650 –> 00:52:35.469
witches or whatever. And without really knowing
00:52:35.469 –> 00:52:36.929
the language, because it is saying like, you
00:52:36.929 –> 00:52:39.510
know, I think in her native language was like,
00:52:39.510 –> 00:52:41.030
maybe Finnish. I don’t know. I can’t think of
00:52:41.030 –> 00:52:43.530
that right now. But essentially it’s more about
00:52:43.530 –> 00:52:45.349
like transformation and like letting go of like
00:52:45.349 –> 00:52:47.929
the past and like moving on from like the horrors
00:52:47.929 –> 00:52:50.010
of like what you were and going forward and stuff.
00:52:50.130 –> 00:52:52.590
So it’s not like like super horror, like as far
00:52:52.590 –> 00:52:54.570
as like the theme goes. I think I’m hitting something,
00:52:54.570 –> 00:52:59.050
sorry. But I think the imagery of just like,
00:52:59.050 –> 00:53:00.989
you know, the way she’s presenting her transformation
00:53:00.989 –> 00:53:03.349
is is pretty alluring, but also so kind of like,
00:53:03.429 –> 00:53:05.829
you know, it’s it’s got some mystique to it.
00:53:05.849 –> 00:53:08.289
And I think if. Anyone’s just watching you’re
00:53:08.289 –> 00:53:09.809
like, holy shit There’s like some rituals going
00:53:09.809 –> 00:53:11.389
out with these witches in the woods and that’s
00:53:11.389 –> 00:53:14.550
always fucking hot and amazing. So This they’re
00:53:14.550 –> 00:53:17.070
wearing the blindfolds, right? Yeah, so my take
00:53:17.070 –> 00:53:19.730
on that Well, first of all, I was surprised when
00:53:19.730 –> 00:53:22.010
I heard it because it was released on relapse.
00:53:22.250 –> 00:53:25.469
Yeah, and I think of like grind core No, I think
00:53:25.469 –> 00:53:28.289
they I think they’ve broadened what they release
00:53:28.289 –> 00:53:30.769
was recorded in a secret Ross’s studio out in
00:53:30.769 –> 00:53:32.949
Iceland, which is random, too Yeah, are you sure
00:53:32.949 –> 00:53:35.760
they’re not Icelandic? I guess they are Icelandic.
00:53:36.519 –> 00:53:38.380
You know, I don’t know. That’s kind of where
00:53:38.380 –> 00:53:40.860
my mind went. Either that or like, you know,
00:53:40.860 –> 00:53:43.420
Norwegian or Danish or something. Yeah, Nordic.
00:53:43.500 –> 00:53:46.900
Yeah, it is Danish. But what I’ll say is my interpretation
00:53:46.900 –> 00:53:50.239
of it was all these people wearing blindfolds
00:53:50.239 –> 00:53:51.880
and they’re gathered around her and at the end
00:53:51.880 –> 00:53:53.980
they take their blindfold off. And I was like,
00:53:54.239 –> 00:53:59.119
is that commenting on like the cave kind of know
00:53:59.119 –> 00:54:01.980
that if you’re like blind, blindfolded, you’re
00:54:01.980 –> 00:54:04.829
following someone blindly. And then she has him
00:54:04.829 –> 00:54:06.889
take it off. So it felt like there was a positive
00:54:06.889 –> 00:54:10.170
message to it. You know, like everyone’s following
00:54:10.170 –> 00:54:13.090
someone and then it becomes liberated from it.
00:54:13.570 –> 00:54:16.710
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I bet you if you spoke Danish,
00:54:17.050 –> 00:54:19.909
I would know what would it also kind of remind
00:54:19.909 –> 00:54:21.809
me of Bird Box, because that’s also like, oh,
00:54:22.070 –> 00:54:24.030
yeah, the blindfold. Yeah. I think mainly like
00:54:24.030 –> 00:54:26.190
it’s got just a it is a positive message essentially
00:54:26.190 –> 00:54:27.909
it’s just like her transformation like you know
00:54:27.909 –> 00:54:30.150
everyone’s blinded to like who she’d been you
00:54:30.150 –> 00:54:31.710
know and then finally she’s like made this big
00:54:31.710 –> 00:54:33.289
transformation which is kind of like the moth
00:54:33.289 –> 00:54:35.110
you know like she’s like this huge you know creature
00:54:35.110 –> 00:54:36.750
and people are actually seeing her for who she
00:54:36.750 –> 00:54:39.849
is yeah well as a the local cinematography nerd
00:54:39.849 –> 00:54:44.269
here i just loved a super wide anamorphic uh
00:54:44.269 –> 00:54:47.449
way they shot it’s like very cinematic yeah and
00:54:47.449 –> 00:54:49.289
the the way it looked kind of looks like the
00:54:49.289 –> 00:54:52.980
movie the witch a little bit yeah just the kind
00:54:52.980 –> 00:54:56.940
of gothic woods, the barren trees and all that
00:54:56.940 –> 00:54:58.960
type of stuff. Totally. Totally. And, you know,
00:54:59.000 –> 00:55:02.579
a lot of Scandinavian countries are big on kind
00:55:02.579 –> 00:55:05.639
of folk stuff and it’s kind of very folk. That’s
00:55:05.639 –> 00:55:07.900
where I tend to lean too. So I like that juxtaposition
00:55:07.900 –> 00:55:10.320
while it does look, you know, kind of like folklore,
00:55:10.639 –> 00:55:12.420
like, you know, scary. There is like a really
00:55:12.420 –> 00:55:14.860
good message to it if you, you know, if you if
00:55:14.860 –> 00:55:18.619
you translate it. Right. Right. All right, Peter.
00:55:19.360 –> 00:55:23.360
Okay, so I’m gonna jump back to the 80s for this
00:55:23.360 –> 00:55:30.579
one. This song was parodied by Weird Al. I lost
00:55:30.579 –> 00:55:33.440
on Jeopardy, was his take on this. So I’m referring
00:55:33.440 –> 00:55:38.500
to the Greg Kin band, Jeopardy? I think it’s
00:55:38.500 –> 00:55:42.679
just called Jeopardy. And I chose it because
00:55:42.679 –> 00:55:45.880
it’s so unassuming. I mean, it’s a low budget
00:55:45.880 –> 00:55:51.989
video. Greg plays the, not bride to be, but the
00:55:51.989 –> 00:55:55.889
groom to be, going into a chapel, it’s packed.
00:55:57.429 –> 00:55:59.989
I think the video’s about kind of the anxiety
00:55:59.989 –> 00:56:01.630
of getting married, because all of a sudden he
00:56:01.630 –> 00:56:05.030
looks and a couple in the crowd are handcuffed,
00:56:05.409 –> 00:56:08.590
and then there’s a couple weirdos in there, and
00:56:08.590 –> 00:56:10.670
then he takes off the veil of the bride, and
00:56:10.670 –> 00:56:12.510
she turns into a zombie, and then everyone’s
00:56:12.510 –> 00:56:15.110
a zombie, and he’s trying to escape. And so it’s
00:56:15.110 –> 00:56:16.710
like, you’re like, where the fuck did this come
00:56:16.710 –> 00:56:19.789
from? Because the music’s all like this this
00:56:19.789 –> 00:56:23.590
disco beat power pop song. Yeah. It’s the like
00:56:23.590 –> 00:56:27.769
kind of slightly low budge effects. Yeah. The
00:56:27.769 –> 00:56:30.230
flashes. Yeah, it’s it’s I mean, it’s like if
00:56:30.230 –> 00:56:31.769
you were a little kid watching it, you’d pick
00:56:31.769 –> 00:56:34.610
up on how low budget all the like monster stuff
00:56:34.610 –> 00:56:37.309
is. But it makes it kind of endearing. Totally.
00:56:37.369 –> 00:56:39.210
And, you know, it might be the right tone, you
00:56:39.210 –> 00:56:41.170
know, for the right song, because, you know,
00:56:41.170 –> 00:56:44.969
not all of these songs are Gary sounding song.
00:56:44.989 –> 00:56:48.230
So like you kind of want some horror comedy aspect.
00:56:49.610 –> 00:56:51.670
Right. Yeah. No, it’s just kind of a fun like
00:56:51.670 –> 00:56:54.389
because I’d heard this song for years. It’s not
00:56:54.389 –> 00:56:56.610
a song I would think about that much. But then
00:56:56.610 –> 00:56:58.929
one day I stumbled across a video and I was like,
00:56:59.269 –> 00:57:01.010
what the fuck? This is the last thing I would
00:57:01.010 –> 00:57:06.949
ever expect for this song. Nice. Nice. Yeah.
00:57:07.030 –> 00:57:11.329
So for my next one, I chose A fix twin song called
00:57:11.329 –> 00:57:13.070
come to daddy, which a lot of people out there
00:57:13.070 –> 00:57:16.610
might be familiar with And this one is another
00:57:16.610 –> 00:57:19.650
one of those like I mean it it’s not nearly as
00:57:19.650 –> 00:57:21.730
much as the last one I was discussing with the
00:57:21.730 –> 00:57:23.469
the pile of bodies, but there is some kind of
00:57:23.469 –> 00:57:28.150
like weird But body horror kind of stuff going
00:57:28.150 –> 00:57:32.170
on in this one, too But it’s a it’s it’s really
00:57:32.170 –> 00:57:35.789
I mean A fix twin does great videos. Let’s just
00:57:35.789 –> 00:57:38.900
say choice of weapons like They’re just known
00:57:38.900 –> 00:57:40.780
for amazing videos and this is no exception.
00:57:41.199 –> 00:57:43.599
I love the like way that they use the tv, you
00:57:43.599 –> 00:57:46.380
know the guy holding it and then the weird creepy
00:57:46.380 –> 00:57:49.179
faces of those like I mean, they’re not really
00:57:49.179 –> 00:57:51.099
little people, but they’re kind of little people
00:57:51.099 –> 00:57:53.199
that are like chasing them and stuff. I don’t
00:57:53.199 –> 00:57:56.199
know. I don’t I don’t have a lot to say um Other
00:57:56.199 –> 00:57:57.820
than it’s just really cool and people should
00:57:57.820 –> 00:58:00.619
check it out Yeah, and the video speaks for itself.
00:58:00.840 –> 00:58:03.280
It’s kind of I think most people have seen that,
00:58:03.280 –> 00:58:05.739
you know what? I mean, it’s like a If you look
00:58:05.739 –> 00:58:08.699
up horror video on the internet, this is Will
00:58:08.699 –> 00:58:11.579
appear. Yeah for sure for sure and if you hear
00:58:11.579 –> 00:58:15.739
cats in the background Feel free to ignore it
00:58:15.739 –> 00:58:21.059
Taffeta stretching some sound effects But that
00:58:21.059 –> 00:58:24.760
apex twin video come to daddy shot in 2018 and
00:58:24.760 –> 00:58:27.599
directed by Chris Cunningham Taffeta, what do
00:58:27.599 –> 00:58:31.099
you got for us? Um, this is still of the germane
00:58:31.099 –> 00:58:33.440
peoples. This is a high lung who I found like
00:58:33.440 –> 00:58:35.880
years ago when I fucking fell in love with them.
00:58:36.000 –> 00:58:39.559
And the video itself is like, it’s, it does it
00:58:39.559 –> 00:58:41.300
again with like the lore and stuff. If you watch
00:58:41.300 –> 00:58:43.280
it, it’s like animated and it’s essentially like,
00:58:43.579 –> 00:58:45.599
it looks like it’s a war video, but it’s essentially
00:58:45.599 –> 00:58:48.019
just kind of people trying to make peace, but
00:58:48.019 –> 00:58:49.880
still being attacked and people being invaded.
00:58:50.079 –> 00:58:52.460
And I like the usage of, you know, the mass,
00:58:52.519 –> 00:58:54.079
the big tribal mass, which are kind of scary
00:58:54.079 –> 00:58:56.199
and like the, the darkness around it. And then
00:58:56.199 –> 00:58:58.039
when you have that animated like war series,
00:58:58.079 –> 00:58:59.840
you know, that’s like, it gives like some blood
00:58:59.840 –> 00:59:01.480
and some arrows and that’s just kind of fucking
00:59:01.480 –> 00:59:04.809
creepy in general. And I don’t know. I hadn’t
00:59:04.809 –> 00:59:06.829
really seen many of their videos. I experienced
00:59:06.829 –> 00:59:09.789
them live, which is fucking amazing. But finding
00:59:09.789 –> 00:59:12.170
this video, I was like, oh, look at this. It’s
00:59:12.170 –> 00:59:14.489
fucked up. But, you know, it’s also one of those
00:59:14.489 –> 00:59:17.190
things that has a very positive message. Honestly,
00:59:17.250 –> 00:59:18.670
literally, you could probably choose any kind
00:59:18.670 –> 00:59:21.750
of like Norwegian or Scandinavian black metal
00:59:21.750 –> 00:59:23.809
video and it’d be a horror video. Yeah, yeah,
00:59:23.869 –> 00:59:26.230
yeah. So essentially. But there’s a lot more
00:59:26.230 –> 00:59:28.230
to it, like the animation and the shadow play
00:59:28.230 –> 00:59:31.070
and everything. So that like depth of spooky.
00:59:31.340 –> 00:59:34.000
Yeah, I really like this. Uh, it’s kind of like
00:59:34.000 –> 00:59:37.400
kind of got a You know if uh, you mixed like
00:59:37.400 –> 00:59:41.059
norse mythology and like chinese shadow puppetry.
00:59:41.139 –> 00:59:44.820
Yeah Pagan paganism paganism. Yeah, like runes
00:59:44.820 –> 00:59:48.199
and yeah exactly. Yeah Yeah, totally. It’s really
00:59:48.199 –> 00:59:50.480
cool. Yeah, we have similar. I think probably
00:59:50.480 –> 00:59:52.699
have similar taste in Music because I love a
00:59:52.699 –> 00:59:56.880
lot of this stuff, too. Yeah. Yeah cool And I
00:59:56.880 –> 01:00:00.349
believe this is our last round Right, the final
01:00:00.349 –> 01:00:02.570
round. Did you save the best for last, Peter?
01:00:03.489 –> 01:00:06.769
This is probably my favorite of them, so I think
01:00:06.769 –> 01:00:13.889
so. Cool. So this is from 2015. And I will say
01:00:13.889 –> 01:00:16.030
I was not into this artist when all my friends
01:00:16.030 –> 01:00:18.309
were. I had kind of written them off, though
01:00:18.309 –> 01:00:20.530
they’ve grown on me. But this is the song and
01:00:20.530 –> 01:00:24.489
video that won me over. And that’s care of Daniel
01:00:24.489 –> 01:00:27.860
Sloplinski. guy keep bringing up. He sent me
01:00:27.860 –> 01:00:29.179
this because he thought I might appreciate the
01:00:29.179 –> 01:00:33.159
video. And that is Ghost, and it is Circe. I
01:00:33.159 –> 01:00:37.079
always want to say Circe, but it’s Circe off
01:00:37.079 –> 01:00:41.179
the record, Meloria. Circe, let’s see, I did
01:00:41.179 –> 01:00:46.059
it. Circe is an old, it’s old English for church.
01:00:46.599 –> 01:00:49.019
But what’s interesting is, yeah, won a Grammy
01:00:49.019 –> 01:00:54.019
for best metal performance in 2016. So the video,
01:00:54.329 –> 01:00:59.409
is really captivating. It features a little girl
01:00:59.409 –> 01:01:01.750
and her mom going to see a children’s talent
01:01:01.750 –> 01:01:05.309
show. The girl is bored through the opening acts
01:01:05.309 –> 01:01:08.809
until the headliner, which is a kids band performing
01:01:08.809 –> 01:01:11.989
if it was like the band Ghost. Ghost wears all
01:01:11.989 –> 01:01:14.289
these elaborate costumes. The singer has like
01:01:14.289 –> 01:01:16.289
face paint to look like a skeleton and he’s got
01:01:16.289 –> 01:01:20.769
this pope hat, but they’re kids. And so the singer…
01:01:20.909 –> 01:01:22.789
you know, start, they start singing, the song
01:01:22.789 –> 01:01:26.550
comes on and it’s, they have this sacrilegious,
01:01:26.710 –> 01:01:30.150
satanic vibe, I guess you could say, the aesthetic
01:01:30.150 –> 01:01:33.510
of it all. Like a dark pope. Yeah. Yeah. It’s
01:01:33.510 –> 01:01:35.969
something sinister about it. And the music suggests
01:01:35.969 –> 01:01:40.050
that too. But basically what happens is the parents
01:01:40.050 –> 01:01:43.769
are starting to freak out and it just kind of
01:01:43.769 –> 01:01:46.530
escalates. And then the girl gets very entranced
01:01:46.530 –> 01:01:48.940
by this and she reaches up and the guy, the singer
01:01:48.940 –> 01:01:52.119
takes her hand at this quiet part and it’s like
01:01:52.119 –> 01:01:56.300
she’s seduced by darkness and then she basically
01:01:56.300 –> 01:02:00.960
becomes Carrie and has these like telekinetic
01:02:00.960 –> 01:02:04.980
powers where she’s making people go crazy and
01:02:04.980 –> 01:02:07.599
everyone’s trying to get out of the room but
01:02:07.599 –> 01:02:10.360
can’t, the wind’s going, the band’s still playing
01:02:10.360 –> 01:02:13.940
and the principal is trying to stop the band
01:02:13.940 –> 01:02:17.960
and she starts choking him with her powers. And
01:02:17.960 –> 01:02:19.159
by the time you get to the end of the song, the
01:02:19.159 –> 01:02:21.219
principal is finally able to rip out the power
01:02:21.219 –> 01:02:26.360
and, you know, everything stops. And then simple,
01:02:26.500 –> 01:02:29.559
but cool. You know, then it cuts to this couple
01:02:29.559 –> 01:02:31.440
that I guess are the parents of the singer and
01:02:31.440 –> 01:02:34.340
they start clapping. And to me, they look like
01:02:34.340 –> 01:02:39.219
Satanists. But yeah, I just it’s very cinematic
01:02:39.219 –> 01:02:42.500
for what it is. The aesthetic is dated like it’s
01:02:42.500 –> 01:02:45.619
from the 70s. The color palette lighting. There’s
01:02:45.619 –> 01:02:49.059
emulsion damage, dust particles. Again, kind
01:02:49.059 –> 01:02:50.199
of like what you’re saying, where it looks like
01:02:50.199 –> 01:02:52.639
it’s film. Yeah, I noticed that right away. You
01:02:52.639 –> 01:02:55.579
can’t tell. Cool. But it’s and it wasn’t quite
01:02:55.579 –> 01:02:58.420
obvious to me immediately that it’s like heavily
01:02:58.420 –> 01:03:03.619
inspired by the Del Palma film Carrie. The Palma?
01:03:03.739 –> 01:03:07.559
The Palma, yeah. But it’s yeah, the little girl
01:03:07.559 –> 01:03:09.199
is seduced by the darkness. It makes sense because
01:03:09.199 –> 01:03:11.909
like when during the prom when she. You know,
01:03:12.030 –> 01:03:14.670
it has that kind of vibe. Right, but Carrie wasn’t
01:03:14.670 –> 01:03:17.750
seduced by darkness. She was bullied. I mean,
01:03:17.789 –> 01:03:19.510
she kind of was darkness. Yeah, but just visually,
01:03:19.730 –> 01:03:22.429
I mean. Oh, yeah, totally. So it sets it up like
01:03:22.429 –> 01:03:26.769
that. It was directed by Robo Shobo. I think
01:03:26.769 –> 01:03:30.050
that’s how you say his name, which is aka Robert
01:03:30.050 –> 01:03:33.489
Shober. He’s done a lot of music videos, but
01:03:33.489 –> 01:03:37.829
he randomly did visual effects on the ring too.
01:03:38.050 –> 01:03:41.699
There’s a horror tag. Well, actually, that’s
01:03:41.699 –> 01:03:44.940
a good tee up for the one that I had for my last
01:03:44.940 –> 01:03:47.139
one, because it’s a very similar kind of band.
01:03:47.300 –> 01:03:52.679
It’s the Sleep Token. And Sleep Tokens, it’s
01:03:52.679 –> 01:03:55.860
kind of like Ghost, I feel like. Not everybody
01:03:55.860 –> 01:03:57.960
knows who they are, but they have like a crazy
01:03:57.960 –> 01:04:01.440
dedicated fan base, you know? And they also,
01:04:01.800 –> 01:04:03.219
I think they’re similar in the sense that they’re
01:04:03.219 –> 01:04:06.059
also kind of like dark and metal -y in a way,
01:04:06.079 –> 01:04:08.699
but they’re also… Kind of soft does that make
01:04:08.699 –> 01:04:10.860
sense which which is the main reason I never
01:04:10.860 –> 01:04:12.980
really got in a ghost because I love metal and
01:04:12.980 –> 01:04:15.579
Kind of like what holds me back from really loving
01:04:15.579 –> 01:04:19.539
sleep token but I do like their whole vibe because
01:04:19.539 –> 01:04:22.559
what they They do is they essentially they’re
01:04:22.559 –> 01:04:24.559
all anonymous in the band like people legitimately
01:04:24.559 –> 01:04:26.320
don’t know who they are I mean, I’m sure somebody
01:04:26.320 –> 01:04:28.380
probably knows who they are there but but they
01:04:28.380 –> 01:04:30.159
keep it under wraps pretty well and it’s like
01:04:30.159 –> 01:04:31.699
kind of a performance our thing and they all
01:04:31.699 –> 01:04:33.380
wear costumes when they play and they’re like
01:04:33.380 –> 01:04:36.340
really cool creepy full -core kinds of costumes
01:04:36.730 –> 01:04:40.409
And their music videos are pretty in that vein
01:04:40.409 –> 01:04:43.650
as well. So this this video is alkaline for their
01:04:43.650 –> 01:04:48.309
song alkaline and with basically the singer sleep
01:04:48.309 –> 01:04:50.969
tokens just kind of like in a chair in this like
01:04:50.969 –> 01:04:55.510
abandoned house and these guys in hazmat suits
01:04:55.510 –> 01:04:57.730
and guns break in and they’re like trying to
01:04:57.730 –> 01:05:00.329
clear the building like looking for him. And
01:05:00.329 –> 01:05:02.989
by the end of the music video, they find them.
01:05:03.150 –> 01:05:05.570
and they burst in the room and are like trying
01:05:05.570 –> 01:05:08.429
to shoot him and he uses like also telekinesis
01:05:08.429 –> 01:05:12.789
powers and he you know ends up like killing them
01:05:12.789 –> 01:05:15.869
essentially with like magic so and it’s really
01:05:15.869 –> 01:05:18.070
cool and dark and just got a really sick vibe
01:05:18.070 –> 01:05:20.969
I think and you know there’s like a whole you
01:05:20.969 –> 01:05:22.750
could just sense that there this could be like
01:05:22.750 –> 01:05:26.969
a movie like there’s a backstory here and I really
01:05:26.969 –> 01:05:28.829
love that it’s like hinting at like a larger
01:05:28.829 –> 01:05:32.820
world and larger story It kind of reminded me
01:05:32.820 –> 01:05:35.320
a little bit of like the Vecna stranger things
01:05:35.320 –> 01:05:38.300
Then like that’s kind of jumped to me that the
01:05:38.300 –> 01:05:42.079
hazmat suits. I think of like I Don’t take your
01:05:42.079 –> 01:05:49.280
name your movie, right? Maybe I’m maybe not the
01:05:49.280 –> 01:05:50.880
most unique thing I think what’s interesting
01:05:50.880 –> 01:05:53.880
though is kind of the combination of the two
01:05:53.880 –> 01:05:55.559
right you get this like has no just kind of got
01:05:55.559 –> 01:06:00.159
tech, you know technology Forward current day
01:06:00.159 –> 01:06:04.380
thing, but then the folk Horror elements feel
01:06:04.380 –> 01:06:06.559
rooted in this like deep history, you know. Mm
01:06:06.559 –> 01:06:10.099
-hmm. That’s good. It’s a good combination juxtaposition
01:06:10.099 –> 01:06:13.320
and Taffeta you want to bring her home for us?
01:06:13.500 –> 01:06:16.199
I will but I didn’t save my best for last in
01:06:16.199 –> 01:06:20.500
fact This is as basic as it can be but I’m a
01:06:20.500 –> 01:06:23.800
big fan of the album famous monsters I’m not
01:06:23.800 –> 01:06:25.960
the biggest fan of Michael Graves. I think personally
01:06:25.960 –> 01:06:30.300
he’s talking about the Misfits the new Misfits
01:06:30.300 –> 01:06:34.860
This is a yeah the Michael Graves and it’s the
01:06:34.860 –> 01:06:37.019
only album that I really listen to from them
01:06:37.019 –> 01:06:39.019
is famous monsters because I mean they sing about
01:06:39.019 –> 01:06:41.369
like you know, every track is about a specific
01:06:41.369 –> 01:06:43.489
horror movie. And they sing about Pumpkin Head
01:06:43.489 –> 01:06:45.730
and Planet of the Apes and like Lost in Space.
01:06:45.909 –> 01:06:48.329
And then this one is Scream. And it’s a typical
01:06:48.329 –> 01:06:51.150
like zombie movie in which they had George Romero
01:06:51.150 –> 01:06:53.369
help them with. And it’s done really well. It
01:06:53.369 –> 01:06:55.329
looks like it could be a mini, you know, like
01:06:55.329 –> 01:06:57.570
a two minute zombie horror movie. And it’s done
01:06:57.570 –> 01:06:59.969
in black and white. And they use all their fans,
01:06:59.969 –> 01:07:01.769
you know, to come in there and be zombies and
01:07:01.769 –> 01:07:06.039
stuff. Yeah, it’s cool. I like the juxtaposition
01:07:06.039 –> 01:07:08.260
between the black and white and the color of
01:07:08.260 –> 01:07:11.659
the live performance. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah But that’s
01:07:11.659 –> 01:07:13.219
kind of the one I went with is because you know
01:07:13.219 –> 01:07:15.179
with like these you’ve got people literally biting
01:07:15.179 –> 01:07:17.699
into each other’s heads and brains exposed And
01:07:17.699 –> 01:07:20.940
I think that’s probably like the most gory in
01:07:20.940 –> 01:07:24.679
or pick of all my videos Um, so far, uh, you
01:07:24.679 –> 01:07:26.659
got Doyle like walking around like a big fucking
01:07:26.659 –> 01:07:30.380
zombie and that’s fucking scary as itself Doyle
01:07:30.380 –> 01:07:33.039
zombie is fucking scary. He’s like eight feet
01:07:33.039 –> 01:07:36.280
tall He’s still pretty ripped for he’s a big
01:07:36.280 –> 01:07:39.480
boy He must be in his 60s now, right? Yeah. Yeah
01:07:39.480 –> 01:07:41.719
for sure. I’m sure they all are but maybe even
01:07:41.719 –> 01:07:45.820
older but yeah, I just I like the uh the the
01:07:45.820 –> 01:07:48.440
nod to every black and white movie that kind
01:07:48.440 –> 01:07:52.849
of came before uh the 80s Took the the video
01:07:52.849 –> 01:07:55.590
is because George Romero directing it like as
01:07:55.590 –> 01:07:59.090
Night of the Living Dead in a hospital Like that’s
01:07:59.090 –> 01:08:04.269
me Yeah So my questions that because this opens
01:08:04.269 –> 01:08:08.349
a can of worms. I’m like Was George Romero a
01:08:08.349 –> 01:08:10.809
fan of the original Misfits and had he heard
01:08:10.809 –> 01:08:13.110
the song Night of the Living Dead? They did and
01:08:13.110 –> 01:08:15.389
now I’m kicking myself because I met George Romero
01:08:15.389 –> 01:08:19.470
and I did not ask him But then I wonder if Danzig
01:08:19.470 –> 01:08:22.270
was like god damn it They get to use George Romero
01:08:22.270 –> 01:08:27.470
shooting. Right. But a fun fact that some of
01:08:27.470 –> 01:08:30.409
you may know is that George Romero then had the
01:08:30.409 –> 01:08:32.189
Michael Graves version of the Misfits in his
01:08:32.189 –> 01:08:34.989
movie Bruiser. Was it? Which one came first?
01:08:35.310 –> 01:08:37.350
The video. I think that’s where the relationship.
01:08:37.829 –> 01:08:39.550
That’s essentially what I had found is that like
01:08:39.550 –> 01:08:41.310
that was the exchange. Like, you know, he helped
01:08:41.310 –> 01:08:45.210
them and they were in his and stuff. Fascinating.
01:08:45.550 –> 01:08:47.789
I wonder why. Did he just want it as like an
01:08:47.789 –> 01:08:51.810
Easter egg or or like because. Did he demand
01:08:51.810 –> 01:08:53.569
or something? I don’t know, man. I really wish
01:08:53.569 –> 01:08:55.609
I had had this conversation when he was alive
01:08:55.609 –> 01:09:01.510
and I met him, but I did not. One of the fun
01:09:01.510 –> 01:09:02.869
facts, I guess, really quick was that it was
01:09:02.869 –> 01:09:05.710
originally sent to Wes Craven to be in Scream
01:09:05.710 –> 01:09:09.050
2, and he declined it. And then it was ultimately
01:09:09.050 –> 01:09:11.369
just later re -recorded for just the album release.
01:09:13.109 –> 01:09:15.210
That I did not know. That’s really interesting.
01:09:17.180 –> 01:09:18.760
Alright, so that’s the end of our main conversation,
01:09:18.800 –> 01:09:20.720
but but just to wrap up here You guys looking
01:09:20.720 –> 01:09:22.619
forward to seeing anything this week or doing
01:09:22.619 –> 01:09:24.439
anything this week interesting that people might
01:09:24.439 –> 01:09:27.100
want to know about I still need to see Redux
01:09:27.100 –> 01:09:30.319
Redux got me to and I want to see undertone So
01:09:30.319 –> 01:09:32.340
now I’m happy to have two things that I actually
01:09:32.340 –> 01:09:34.899
really want to see yeah in the theater That’s
01:09:34.899 –> 01:09:37.859
what that you took mine that well that also motivates
01:09:37.859 –> 01:09:40.319
me more than just like if I kind of carry something
01:09:40.319 –> 01:09:42.380
Then I’m probably not gonna see it in the theater
01:09:42.569 –> 01:09:45.130
But if I really wanna see it, I will go see it.
01:09:45.149 –> 01:09:47.529
I just did not. So maybe I’ll go see Redux, Redux.
01:09:47.529 –> 01:09:49.770
Well, I gotta see, I clearly gotta check out
01:09:49.770 –> 01:09:55.449
Primal. Yeah, yeah. For me, the people I spoke
01:09:55.449 –> 01:09:58.050
about last weekend that do vinyl and plastic,
01:09:58.189 –> 01:10:00.149
those horror graphic novels that I brought in,
01:10:00.649 –> 01:10:03.050
they have a new comic out called Narco. I don’t
01:10:03.050 –> 01:10:04.329
remember if I mentioned that, but I’m looking
01:10:04.329 –> 01:10:06.569
forward to reading that this week. It’s essentially
01:10:06.569 –> 01:10:10.029
a really big tribute to the Hitchcock -esque
01:10:10.029 –> 01:10:13.470
style. The main character has a narcolepsy and
01:10:13.470 –> 01:10:15.010
he gets that whenever he gets really excited
01:10:15.010 –> 01:10:17.430
and then he winds up meeting a girl gets really
01:10:17.430 –> 01:10:20.350
excited about her and starts passing out more
01:10:20.350 –> 01:10:22.550
and essentially I think we did talk about the
01:10:22.550 –> 01:10:25.390
fainting goats thing. Yeah Yeah, so yeah that
01:10:25.390 –> 01:10:27.170
comes out this week So I’m looking forward to
01:10:27.170 –> 01:10:29.689
finally reading that new issue that new title
01:10:29.689 –> 01:10:32.210

01:10:32.210 –> 01:10:34.350
Nice and don’t forget to check out Dungeons and
01:10:34.350 –> 01:10:36.170
