ReplyDeleteI hope to have a wizards death...
I am so enjoying how long it's taking you guys to talk about nightmare 5, this is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow I heard that 200th comment challenge.
ReplyDeleteFortunately it's my day off
ReplyDeleteWell, not really, I need to edit some audio
ReplyDeleteIt'd be fun to post that 'The Good Son' trivia
ReplyDeleteI don't live in Chicago
ReplyDeleteNow you are talking Dreamchild
ReplyDeleteI'm stalling because I don't want to start editing
ReplyDeletesame.
DeleteNice.
DeleteIt's a really boring project
ReplyDeleteSigh
ReplyDeleteOh wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm an adult
ReplyDeleteI can buy beer
ReplyDeleteI'll finish the episode and then get started
ReplyDeleteStephen Hopkins really is awesome
ReplyDeleteComment #200: Wow...cant believe im the 200th person to comment. Tis weird that i randomly, and in NO way intentionally, ended up commenting 200th. Odd really.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo i was just dropping by before i head off to Munich for the international semi-finals of the MCTTC (Macauly Culkin Trivia Thunderdome Challenge). Turns out the competition isnt that strong this year seeing as ive seen virtually none of his movies. I managed to win alot of early rounds by 'winging it'. For example when asked about a plot summary for The Good Son i just said "ahhh yes, great flick, he really came into his own from a dramatic perspective. i believe thats the movie where he and his uncle buck team up to best some home invaders by tricking them into a basement filled with angry bees. the home invaders weren't allergic or anything, turns out you really cant survive being stung by a poopton of angry bees*. Those events lead him into witness relocation where he adopts the name Richard Rich and spends most of his time doing drugs in the NY club scene. Also, based on the video box i think he's like some kind of sociopath kid?".
(*Editors Note: I thought about adding a bit where MacCauly donned an Austin Powers costume as part of how he tricked the bandits to the bee laden basement so he could turn to the camera as they painfully died, placed his hands on his face, and said "OHHHH Bee-Hive!". But that seemed like a long walk for the bit. Buuuuut not too long to postcript here).
I'm the biggest 'Ghost And The Darkness Fan' I know
ReplyDeleteOkay, goodbye. Thanks for the show, it's very appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI SAID GOODBYE, SIR!
ReplyDeleteThank you Adam for pronouncing Elias properly. It seems like every other podcast hasn’t never seen the name before.
ReplyDeleteEl-ee-uhs...
Hey! I watched The Good Son just the other day.
ReplyDeleteI'm back because you guys are still talking and I'm still stalling
ReplyDelete'The Ruins' is pretty badass
ReplyDeleteVal Kilmer was in 'Ghost And The Darkness', looking like ALL of the handsome
ReplyDeleteI just got the Renny Harlin joke
ReplyDeleteIt was my own personal Cliffhanger
ReplyDeleteMeaning it took too long for me to get there, but I enjoyed every minute
ReplyDeleteAlso John Lithgow was menacing me the whole way
ReplyDeleteThey just discovered the bones of what the think was the smartest dinosaur...
ReplyDeleteThey called it a Thesaurus.
ReplyDeleteOk, now I'm out. This is the long kiss goodnight
ReplyDeleteI actually do dislike 'Nomadland'. Should've just been a documentary, not glory shots of McDormand pretending to be desperate amongst people that are living fascinating and difficult lives. And David Strathairn out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteHere's a fun way to get to 200 comments...
ReplyDeleteWhat's everybody's most frightening and/or romantic film from their childhood?
ReplyDeleteGreat question Will...and my money is on you for 200.
DeleteMost frightening film from childhood is a toughie for me because boy howdy did movies scare me as a kid. I do have two strong memories that kinda answer:
MOVIE SCENE: I stayed up late when i was around 9 or 10 and snuck watched the 70s Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. The final scene in the street with Donald Sutherland scared the living crap out of me. still does thinking about it. i did not turn off the lights that nite.
TV Scare: I know you werent asking about short form storytelling...but the second biggest scare i recall aligns with above...comes down to a final shot....in this case its the last moment with the Talky Tina doll in the Twilight Zone ep of the same name. The evil doll trope is always a good one but NO one has done it as well as this episode of the zone.
Honorable Mention and probably the best actual answer to your question: decades later with countless horror flicks under my belt i gotta tip my hat to Poltergeist. Maybe it was that i saw it very young but i think it stands the test of time as one of the best scary movies ever made. Also..PG!?
Great answers! Thanks! I love hearing peoples specific movie imprints
DeleteFar and Away 💁🏻♀️ For some reason as a kid I liked the idea of a couple being together in order to survive, like this couple, tryna make it in a foreign land. It seemed so practical. I thought that was the best kind of romance.
DeleteMarried to the Mob. Looking back, I don't think it's supposed to be a scary movie (?), but it got under my skin. Something about Alec Baldwin in a bathtub creeped me out. I always tell myself I'll revisit it someday because I was probably imagining things back then.
DeleteAlec Baldwin is kind of inherently intimidating, like a playground bully
DeleteAlso far and away, great call.
DeleteScare: Ben Gardners boat.
DeleteFavorite frightening movie as a kid is Poltergeist. My aunt had a long hallway with a closet at the end which had a normal door and had bedrooms leading to either side. I had nightmares about the beast coming out of that door for years.
Romance is Bringing up Baby. Saw it the first time in a high school film class and loved it. Then I had a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon situation and started seeing it all the time on AMC back when AMC was what TCM has become. I was hooked. Still one of my all time faves.
When I was 4, the neighbour was supposed to watch me one afternoon while my parents were out. He put his 3-year-old daughter and me in front of Child's Play 3, because why wouldn't you? Needless to say I had a bit of a problem with dolls for a little while. Also, I've always remembered the last scene vividly, which I won't spoil but involves some kind of propeller, so much so that I ended up thinking I'd just imagined it... until I rewatched the movie 15 or so years later and saw on the screen the exact same scene that had played in my head all those years. Wow! Wow.
Delete@Munkee....AHHHHHHHH!!! BEN GARDNERS BOAT! Absolutely that f@#$ked me up as a kid!! Scariest part of Jaws for me.
DeleteTrivia: im pretty sure i read this in Gottlieb's book The Jaws Log, but that the ben gardner 'reveal' was like the last shot filmed..after primary production wrapped..they did it in someones pool in LA.
For instance...
ReplyDelete'Roman Holliday'
ReplyDelete'Night Of The Hunter'
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing flick and its been years since ive seen it...must revisit.
DeleteMy two answers

ReplyDeleteWow! It just hit 99
ReplyDelete100! Kachow
ReplyDeleteEverytime I refresh the page its going up 1 comment. Here's a Owen Wilson quote that has nothing to do with anything to celebrate
ReplyDelete"You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors."
Did you know Kelly Jo Minter was in Mask. Not the one about the cars that turn into helicopters. That's M.A.S.K. Different beast but great theme song.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, where was I? Kelly Jo Minter was in the Eric Stoltz and Cher movie, 'Mask: The Rocky Dennis Story'. Its a small role but very memorable.
ReplyDeleteI tried to find a Kelly Jo Minter quote but was unsuccessful.
ReplyDeleteInstead please enjoy this random quote from the author named Kelly Minter
“Satan will often tell us what is true, but will never tell us the truth.”
ReplyDelete― Kelly Minter, No Other gods: Confronting Our Modern Day Idols
I'm pretty sure that Kelly Minter never saw Nightmare 5 or Summer School.
ReplyDeletemaybe once at like a church lock in.
ReplyDeleteTo make up for that how bout this Kelly line quote
ReplyDelete“You and your brother are landlords of over 50 buildings in this city, all of which you've allowed to deteriorate into rat infested hellholes while you guys get rich charging ridiculous rents. Then, you evict anyone the minute they can't pay rent so you can tear down their homes and build some more office buildings, isn't that about right?”
ReplyDeleteKELLY JO MINTER - Ruby Williams 'People Under the Stairs'
Did you read it in Adams voice?
ReplyDeleteDo you think Don Cheadle is cool with his agent yet?
ReplyDeleteTuesday Night once played a character named Val. She did not get a documentary though
ReplyDeleteWell, I watched The Toxic Avenger. I tried to like it. I know I'm like a fish out of water on this site with my basic taste in movies. But, that's fine with me.
ReplyDeleteI liked Patrick's write up on it.
ReplyDeleteI too enjoyed the write-up more than the movie.
DeleteYay
DeleteYea it was good. Had the personal touch.
DeleteHaven't seen any Boo Berry. But you know what movie did get a cereal?Space Jam 2. I didn't buy any but I bet it taste of mediocrity, chuck jones tears and ball sweat.
ReplyDeleteThose poor characters.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNeither Kelly Jo Minter, Suzanne Snyder or Shawnee Smith have played a character named Val.
ReplyDeleteShawnee Smith is credited with the role of 'redhead' in two separate films.
ReplyDeleteOne of those movies was Armageddon
ReplyDeleteKelly Jo Minter was not in Armageddon
ReplyDeleteOwen Wilson was in Armageddon.
ReplyDeleteSo was Charlton Heston.
ReplyDeleteCharlton Heston was up for a role in 'House Party' but was beat out by Martin Lawrence
ReplyDeleteDue to this Charlton Heston has never worked with Kelly Jo Minter.
ReplyDeleteFun fact! I saw the Good Son because
ReplyDeletethe Program was sold out. I then saw the Program the next night.
In some cities Dazed in Confused and Warlock Armageddon premiered the same weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey did not play in Anchorage till later
ReplyDeleteIt was not a good weekend movie watching wise
ReplyDeleteWould Charlton Heston or Kelly Jo Minters presence in Warlock Armageddon make it a better movie.
ReplyDeleteI bet Charlton Heston would have killed the MAc role in Good Son.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to that other kid that was in the good son?
ReplyDeleteNever see him anymore.
ReplyDeleteI hope he was able to keep working in hollywood. Seemed like an affable little guy
ReplyDeleteThe week before Airborne came out.
ReplyDeleteI did not see airborne in the theaters cuz I was "cool" and it was a roller blading movie.
ReplyDeleteAirborne is actually entertaining
ReplyDeleteIt has a young Seth Greene
ReplyDeleteAnd a young Jack Black on Roller Blades
ReplyDeleteJack Black has not worked with Kelly Jo
ReplyDeleteHe was in the Cable Guy though
ReplyDeleteYou know who else was in 'The Cable Guy'?
ReplyDeleteOwen Wilson
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteI like Milk Duds!😃✌
ReplyDeletePatrick, you should absolutely watch The Ruins! I'd strongly recommend the book too, it's pretty great and the experiment-like approach the author takes is fascinating ("let's pick these absolute morons, put them in this extreme situation and see where that goes", without ever judging them for their -very- poorly informed choices), but the film suffers a bit from the comparison. So maybe watch it first! (it's still very good, it just feels a bit rushed, as the book basically takes place in real time, which makes everything that much more horrifying)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely second Ed B.s comments! I looooooooooooooooooooved the book. Couldnt put it down and am so bummed Scott Smith hasnt written anything since. The adaptation is fine and a solid horror outing for sure. Do check one of them out!
DeleteThirded. 🤟😊
DeleteIT'S A BOOK?! I'm getting it.
DeleteYay! All aboard the Ruins train!!
DeleteWe should all goto a leisurely vacation to some Mexican ruins on vacation together....
Delete...
on second thought, no, thats a horrible idea! Better to stick to something safe like a nice Cabin in The Woods.
I could be alone here, but I love A Civil Action and think Travolta is absolutely the best part of it. That's his last "great" performance to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's def his last prestige performance, whatever that means. I also love that movie. Bluecollar gruff but loving dad Gandolfini is my favorite Gandolfini

ReplyDelete'The Dark Knight Rises' is appropriately named.
ReplyDeleteI mean he does rise
ReplyDeleteFrom a prison pit
ReplyDeleteI don't even think you can call that allegory
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine worked on 'The Dark Knight Rises', and at the City Hall fight scene, they were running out of daylight...
ReplyDeleteSo Nolan just told Matthew Modine to lay on the ground and act dead
ReplyDeleteAh, the movies.
ReplyDeleteOh shit almost there

ReplyDeleteBut I see the appeal of both
ReplyDeleteSomebody take it, I'm back to work
