<v Speaker 1>Welcome foolish mortals to the Surely you Can't Be Serious Podcasts.
<v Speaker 1>Here are your hosts, your ghost hoosts, Jason and d Hello,
<v Speaker 1>boyls and ghouls, Welcome back to the Surely you Can't
<v Speaker 1>Be Serious Podcast. To my left, I have d Graves
<v Speaker 1>who is covered in cockroaches. I have Course and covered
<v Speaker 1>with weeds, and I'm very itchy. And we're welcoming back,
<v Speaker 1>Amandagantic with our head on a platter to discuss creep
<v Speaker 1>Show and twilight Zone the movie in this wonderful, scary,
<v Speaker 1>spooky season of Halloween.
<v Speaker 2>We are here on October two, twenty twenty four, exactly
<v Speaker 2>sixty five years two, the day from the day that
<v Speaker 2>the Twilight Zone series first aired on television. To Wow, Amanda,
<v Speaker 2>how you do? And thank you so much for joining
<v Speaker 2>us today.
<v Speaker 3>I'm great, I'm excited to be here.
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me, Amanda. You're like the scary movie queen. Right,
<v Speaker 1>You're the one who's gonna carry us through this episode.
<v Speaker 3>No, no, that's for guys' job. I'm just here for fun.
<v Speaker 1>You do like horror movies a lot, though, right, I do?
<v Speaker 4>I do, but very niche horror movies though you know
<v Speaker 4>I'm not into the paranormal that kind of stuff. I'm
<v Speaker 4>more eighties kind of slasher, cheesy, slasher in the woods
<v Speaker 4>type of movies.
<v Speaker 3>But these two are right up my alley as well.
<v Speaker 1>So are you a King person?
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say I'm fanatical by any means. I read
<v Speaker 4>all the books when I was younger and stuff, and
<v Speaker 4>obviously saw all the movies. Christine is still one of
<v Speaker 4>my favorites to this day. Write fast on Hampse every year.
<v Speaker 4>Love Christine Carrie, absolutely love it. More of the movies
<v Speaker 4>than the books. I would say I don't have the
<v Speaker 4>attention span for two thousand page books.
<v Speaker 1>You know, this time last year, you and I did
<v Speaker 1>Christine versus Kujoe versus The Dead Zone. Yeah, all Stephen
<v Speaker 1>King movies that came out in nineteen eighty three.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, And these movies are close to being forty years old.
<v Speaker 1>So Creep Show was released November twelfth, nineteen eighty two,
<v Speaker 1>and Twilight Zone was released June twenty fourth, nineteen eighty three.
<v Speaker 1>I believe.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, so forty one and forty two respectively. Yeah, okay, fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>You guys know what happened on Christmas day, exactly one
<v Speaker 2>hundred years ago. Rod Serling was born Sunny Veil Arrest,
<v Speaker 2>a home for the agent, a dying place, and a
<v Speaker 2>common children's game called kick the Ken.
<v Speaker 1>I love this.
<v Speaker 2>I was reading about his childhood. He was raised by
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, blue collar family. His dad worked
<v Speaker 2>as a grocer and then a butcher, but built him
<v Speaker 2>a stage downstairs because he could just make his own
<v Speaker 2>plays with or without an audience. Said that his family
<v Speaker 2>said that they got in the car one time and
<v Speaker 2>he just had this tendency to just talk and ask
<v Speaker 2>questions without waiting for an answer and just keep going.
<v Speaker 2>And so they all decided before they got in the
<v Speaker 2>car for this cross country trip that they weren't going
<v Speaker 2>to say anything and see a fraud would notice. He
<v Speaker 2>did not notice. Wow, And so he was an interesting guy.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he's got these you know, plays in
<v Speaker 2>his head from being a little kid. And then he
<v Speaker 2>goes to war. He serves in World War Two. Was
<v Speaker 2>with a guy who was like doing a stand up
<v Speaker 2>routine for the troops, like another fellow soldier. They had
<v Speaker 2>like a crate of food was dropped for them and
<v Speaker 2>it landed on the guy doing the stand up routine
<v Speaker 2>and decapitated him. What he said that that, like his
<v Speaker 2>war experience, highly influenced how he wrote things. And so
<v Speaker 2>once he got back, he went to college, he started
<v Speaker 2>doing stuff in radio, ultimately started writing TV pilots because
<v Speaker 2>he figured radio was going out and it was the
<v Speaker 2>perfect time for somebody to be writing TV plays. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and so he wrote this play called Patterns Okay to
<v Speaker 2>tell a play and they actually performed it live. But
<v Speaker 2>he had just moved to New York City. He wasn't
<v Speaker 2>expecting it to be anything big. And they found a
<v Speaker 2>babysitter that night and she said, what if somebody calls,
<v Speaker 2>And they said, don't worry. We literally just moved here.
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's gonna call. He'll be fine. Well, that was the
<v Speaker 2>first time his play was on TV, and it was
<v Speaker 2>so amazingly popular that the phone had one hundred phone
<v Speaker 2>calls before they got back that night. Wow, it's the
<v Speaker 2>first television play to ever be replayed. They replayed it
<v Speaker 2>live and then they made it into a movie. Then
<v Speaker 2>he had another success with a movie called Requiem for
<v Speaker 2>a Heavyweight. Another success was Seven Days in May, and
<v Speaker 2>they realized, hey, this guy's got something going and so
<v Speaker 2>they give him the opportunity to do a how do
<v Speaker 2>we say this something of his own because he had
<v Speaker 2>gotten tired of the TV sensors and the sponsors curbing
<v Speaker 2>what work he put out there. They were changing his
<v Speaker 2>writing to make it TV suitable, and so he said,
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do that anymore. I want to
<v Speaker 2>be in charge of my own show. And that's how
<v Speaker 2>we got The twilight Zone. October second, nineteen fifty nine.
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Wow, Amanda, what's your experience with the Twilight Zone?
<v Speaker 1>Did you watch that as a kid or anything.
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't remember seeing it when I was like
<v Speaker 4>super young, but I think it probably stemmed from Creep Show,
<v Speaker 4>to be honest, because I remember seeing that when I
<v Speaker 4>was pretty young, probably too young, right, and then I
<v Speaker 4>fell in love with the anthology idea, So I think
<v Speaker 4>that's probably how I stumbled upon Twilight Zone. And as
<v Speaker 4>a young kid, let's say, maybe I was eight or
<v Speaker 4>nine maybe when I saw it, don't judge my parents.
<v Speaker 4>Twilight Zone was way over my head at that age,
<v Speaker 4>so I don't think I revisited a lot, you know,
<v Speaker 4>not nearly as much as I did Creep Show. It
<v Speaker 4>wasn't until I got older that I started to understand
<v Speaker 4>more of the concepts that were actually in Twilight Zone
<v Speaker 4>and could appreciate it more.
<v Speaker 2>What about you, Well, I had watched the TV series
<v Speaker 2>growing up, Like I remember watching it on like Nicked
<v Speaker 2>Night and some of the other stuff that would have
<v Speaker 2>the old old shows on, and so I was excited
<v Speaker 2>when the movie came out. And I was young too,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and would we say it was eighty three,
<v Speaker 2>so i'd have been seven or eight years old, and
<v Speaker 2>I can remember, I mean, it is a PG movie,
<v Speaker 2>so my my parents let me watch it before PG
<v Speaker 2>thirteen was a thing.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, PG must be okay for everybody.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And so some of those things were particularly disturbing,
<v Speaker 2>especially the prologue scene.
<v Speaker 1>Oh the prologue scene actually get a big old jump.
<v Speaker 4>When I was a kid and I was raised my
<v Speaker 4>dad raised me in all kinds of music. I think
<v Speaker 4>we might have talked about this in past episodes and stuff.
<v Speaker 4>And like, by the time it was seven or eight
<v Speaker 4>years old, I was a huge CCR fan.
<v Speaker 1>So the prolog right.
<v Speaker 2>Now with Creep Show, I had the comic book that
<v Speaker 2>they made from the movie, you know, they they had
<v Speaker 2>like a comic novel, and I like same place that
<v Speaker 2>I would go buy my Fangoria magazine. Right right there
<v Speaker 2>was an episode there was a you know, comic book
<v Speaker 2>of Creep Show out there, and I was like, Oh,
<v Speaker 2>this looks cool. I want to get this, and I
<v Speaker 2>got it. I didn't even know about the movie. Like,
<v Speaker 2>I was young enough when that movie came out that
<v Speaker 2>it kind of went by me and I didn't know
<v Speaker 2>about it until years later. And then I was like
<v Speaker 2>probably Blockbuster or one of its, you know, some video store,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, oh, hey, I had that comic book.
<v Speaker 2>And by that time I was old enough I was like, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>I can watch this movie.
<v Speaker 1>How about you? What about twelve for you? Yeah. So
<v Speaker 1>when I was growing up in Tulsa, we got a
<v Speaker 1>TV station out of Kansas City. On Friday nights, they
<v Speaker 1>would show like reruns of Get Smart, The Three Stooges,
<v Speaker 1>the Twilight Zone, and then they'd show like a creature
<v Speaker 1>feature like Ryder, Frankenstein or whatever. So every Friday night,
<v Speaker 1>man there I am. I'm taking in Get Smart, Twilight Zone,
<v Speaker 1>Three Stooges, and whatever monster movie. The one Twilight Zone
<v Speaker 1>that haunts me to this day, there's a bank robber
<v Speaker 1>and he gets shot during a bank robbery and when
<v Speaker 1>he wakes up, like he's like rich and like all
<v Speaker 1>these beautiful women are throwing themselves at him and like
<v Speaker 1>everything is like awesome. He's like, man, how did this happen?
<v Speaker 1>I was a bank robber and here I am and
<v Speaker 1>everything's going my way. And it turns out like every
<v Speaker 1>time he takes one pool shot, like every ball goes
<v Speaker 1>in every pocket, and it's like his punishment is that
<v Speaker 1>there's no challenge ever in his life ever again, like
<v Speaker 1>everything is over the top good and it. As a kid,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, WHOA, Like hell is every time you
<v Speaker 1>pull the lever at the casino at millions of dollars
<v Speaker 1>spills out and it just everything goes your way.
<v Speaker 3>That sounds terrible.
<v Speaker 2>I remember seeing I can remember seeing people like Robert
<v Speaker 2>Redford in one of them where he's I mean he's
<v Speaker 2>in his twenties but young. He's just this very handsome
<v Speaker 2>young man who as you know, as it turns out,
<v Speaker 2>is it's this little old lady who won't like go out.
<v Speaker 2>It's very similar to the on creep Show, the E. G.
<v Speaker 2>Marshall episode of what is It? The the Creeps? It
<v Speaker 2>creeps on you where She's like she's contained herself in
<v Speaker 2>this little space and won't go out because she's too
<v Speaker 2>scared that death is going to get her when she
<v Speaker 2>goes out. And then this young police officer played by
<v Speaker 2>Robert Redford gets shot and he's like dying on her doorstep.
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, Okay, I'm just gonna bring you in,
<v Speaker 1>but I gotta bring you in quick, and I have
<v Speaker 1>to take care of you here.
<v Speaker 2>And like she mends him back to health and he
<v Speaker 2>ultimately is, you know, very thankful, and then he says,
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for you.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's the Angel of Death. Yeah, I remember that one.
<v Speaker 2>I love the way that those Twilight Zones would twist it.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I had no ideas how they started
<v Speaker 2>investigating one of the best movie twists of all time,
<v Speaker 2>Planet of the Apes. Get to the end of Planet
<v Speaker 2>of the Apes, you see the Statue of Liberty.
<v Speaker 1>Right, I'm like.
<v Speaker 2>Found out today Rod Serling was co writer on the planet.
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's.
<v Speaker 3>Awesome, interesting, you know it's Jason. It's funny.
<v Speaker 4>You just unlocked a key memory for me though, because
<v Speaker 4>I was you know, when you asked me that question,
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking more about Twilight Zone. The movie, not
<v Speaker 4>necessarily the show, but on Friday nights we used to
<v Speaker 4>get because I grew up in outside of Chicago, so
<v Speaker 4>we'd get all the Chicago stations, and then my grandma
<v Speaker 4>lived in Milwaukee, so you know, it was either we
<v Speaker 4>were in Chicago or in Milwaukee on Friday night, and
<v Speaker 4>it was always Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock and Race Barry.
<v Speaker 1>Theater ooh nice.
<v Speaker 3>And then no, and.
<v Speaker 4>Then for that thrief year or whatever, the Nightmare on
<v Speaker 4>Elm Street series.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I remember that.
<v Speaker 3>It was terrible. I was, but that's more what I
<v Speaker 3>was into.
<v Speaker 4>Like, it was more like I'd sit through, like, you know,
<v Speaker 4>Twilight Zone, Ry Bradberry and be like, okay, because again
<v Speaker 4>over my head at that age, you know.
<v Speaker 3>So that's funny, though I totally forgot about that.
<v Speaker 1>That's fun. That's fun. So do you mentioned it to
<v Speaker 1>capitation just a minute ago? Huh? Sadly, that will not
<v Speaker 1>be the last decapitation that we talked about in the episode,
<v Speaker 1>but it won't even be the second to last. Ouch. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna hold that though. Let's talk about that here
<v Speaker 1>in a little while.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, okay, So other fans of the TV show
<v Speaker 2>The Twilight Zone. Yeah, where some guys named John Landis,
<v Speaker 2>George Miller, Joe Dante, and Steven Spielberg.
<v Speaker 1>Sure.
<v Speaker 2>And so after the show had been off the air,
<v Speaker 2>I think it went off the air in something like
<v Speaker 2>sixty five, so it had been off the air for
<v Speaker 2>almost twenty years, and they said, let's make a movie.
<v Speaker 2>And so those four directors all direct a segment of
<v Speaker 2>the four three of them are from are their remakes
<v Speaker 2>of actual Twilight Zone, original Twilight Zone episodes, and some
<v Speaker 2>of the actors from those original episodes are in the
<v Speaker 2>new episodes in the movie.
<v Speaker 1>Oh cool, Okay, Yeah.
<v Speaker 3>Do you know why they did that.
<v Speaker 4>Why they did three out of the four of them
<v Speaker 4>remakes of the original show. It was to make it
<v Speaker 4>more marketable, to bring in that old audience and then
<v Speaker 4>bring in the new audience as well, but put different
<v Speaker 4>spins on them, you know. I mean, some of them
<v Speaker 4>don't obviously follow the original show what happened and in
<v Speaker 4>there or whatever, but they thought, hey, we'll get that
<v Speaker 4>nostalgia for those people who grew up with this show
<v Speaker 4>and just make it more marketable. And I'm glad they
<v Speaker 4>didn't keep him exactly the same because if I wanted
<v Speaker 4>to see that, I would just go watch the episode.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right.
<v Speaker 2>Why am I going to watch John Lithgow when I
<v Speaker 2>can watch the.
<v Speaker 3>Shat Because he's the Trinity Killer. That's why you watched.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 2>So I thought that as far back as I was
<v Speaker 2>going to go was one hundred years ago with the
<v Speaker 2>birth of Rod Serling. But it turns out I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to go back one hundred and thirty years ago, almost
<v Speaker 2>exactly again. It's September twenty first, eighteen ninety four. This
<v Speaker 2>guy named Max Gaines is born. When he's in his
<v Speaker 2>late thirties, he pioneers a new type of book. He
<v Speaker 2>was trying to do some marketing for Procter and Gamble
<v Speaker 2>for a newspaper he's working for, and he was like, Hey,
<v Speaker 2>what we're going to do is we're going to take
<v Speaker 2>all of the little comic.
<v Speaker 1>Strips from the from the newspapers.
<v Speaker 2>We're going to put them all in like this big book,
<v Speaker 2>like this tabloid sized book, and then people will send
<v Speaker 2>in your you know, Procter and Gamble proof of purchase
<v Speaker 2>and they get free book. And Proctor and Gamble was like,
<v Speaker 2>that sounds like a terrible idea, We're not interested, and
<v Speaker 2>so he was like, hey, newspaper publisher, can we do
<v Speaker 2>this thing anyway? And they did it anyway, and what
<v Speaker 2>it was was the precursor to the comic book. This guy,
<v Speaker 2>Max Gaines is the guy who basically invents the comic
<v Speaker 2>book all right.
<v Speaker 1>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>He becomes later on after that the co publisher of
<v Speaker 2>All American Publications who introduced us to some folks. You
<v Speaker 2>might have heard of Green Lantern, Hawkman, and Wonder Woman. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>the first superheroes. Obviously, All American Publications became DC. But
<v Speaker 2>later on he would die, and I'll go into that
<v Speaker 2>in just a second. So he ends up selling his
<v Speaker 2>share of All American and starts his own comic book
<v Speaker 2>line called Educational Comics EC okay, okay, interesting and so
<v Speaker 2>educational comics he's putting out like the Bible in comic
<v Speaker 2>book form, and he's he's putting out these other educational
<v Speaker 2>type of comics in addition to some of the superhero stuff.
<v Speaker 2>But then he dies tragically. His son takes over and
<v Speaker 2>his son is like, heck with his educational thing, I'm
<v Speaker 2>going to change it to entertainment comics.
<v Speaker 1>Now it may sound.
<v Speaker 2>Like that the son is a bit of an air
<v Speaker 2>dwell and the father was kind of had his dreams
<v Speaker 2>annihilated after his death. But as it turns out, Max
<v Speaker 2>Gaines was kind of the Bing Crosby of the comic
<v Speaker 2>book world, where everybody was like, oh hey, here's this
<v Speaker 2>great guy who invented comic books, except he would beat
<v Speaker 2>his son with a belt and tell him you will
<v Speaker 2>never amount to anything. And so when he and a
<v Speaker 2>few friends died in a boating accident, suddenly Billy, little
<v Speaker 2>young Billy, who's in his twenties at that point.
<v Speaker 1>Call me Billy. Everybody else Billy Gaines.
<v Speaker 2>And if you know who William Gaines is, if you're
<v Speaker 2>a comic book fan, you're gonna be like, whoa. And
<v Speaker 2>if not, I'm about to tell you because it turns
<v Speaker 2>out that Max was a bastard.
<v Speaker 1>He was a bastard.
<v Speaker 2>And Bill was excited to take the comic book empire
<v Speaker 2>and take it in a new direction, and so he
<v Speaker 2>changed it from educational comics to entertainment comics, and he
<v Speaker 2>gave us some titles you might have heard of, Weird Science,
<v Speaker 2>What Hails from the Crypt, Whoa, and Mad Comic Books,
<v Speaker 2>which ultimately became Mad magazine.
<v Speaker 1>That is amazing.
<v Speaker 2>Now, these comic books, they gained some attention because of
<v Speaker 2>their kind of graphic nature, and he had to go
<v Speaker 2>testify in front of Congress about these comic books. And
<v Speaker 2>they're asking, They're like, do you feel like anything is appropriate,
<v Speaker 2>you know, for you to put in these comic books.
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, well, anything within good taste. And they're like,
<v Speaker 2>but you decide what good taste is and he's like, yeah, yet,
<v Speaker 2>and they say, how about this comic book right here
<v Speaker 2>where you have a man with an axe with blood
<v Speaker 2>running down the handle, and in his other hand he
<v Speaker 2>has what appears to be the head of another human being,
<v Speaker 2>and it appears that there's a body lying on the floor.
<v Speaker 2>Would you say that that is in good taste? And
<v Speaker 2>he's like, oh, yeah, I mean because you can't see
<v Speaker 2>the neck. If you saw the neck, that probably would
<v Speaker 2>be in bad taste. Or if you saw the body
<v Speaker 2>and saw where the head wasn't attached anymore, that might
<v Speaker 2>be in bad taste. But since those things are out,
<v Speaker 2>we're all good. So these easy comics, including the Tales
<v Speaker 2>from the Crypt and the Weird Science and Mad Magazine,
<v Speaker 2>these comics, these easy comics were the inspiration for Stephen
<v Speaker 2>King and George Romero to make the movie Creep Show totally.
<v Speaker 4>It was born from Salem's Lot too, did you read
<v Speaker 4>about that? So originally George Romero was shopping his movie
<v Speaker 4>Martin around different film festivals and whatnot, and the studio
<v Speaker 4>Warner Brothers saw it and thought, hey, you know, this
<v Speaker 4>would be a great collaboration with George Romero because you
<v Speaker 4>got to think he's hot, hot, hot at that point,
<v Speaker 4>you know, or Stephen King is super hot at that
<v Speaker 4>time too, and so they thought these two together would
<v Speaker 4>be really good. Would you guys be interested in doing
<v Speaker 4>Salem's Lot together? But then Distributed decided to just do
<v Speaker 4>Salem's Lot as a TV release. So then they started
<v Speaker 4>shopping around again for another project, and they were looking
<v Speaker 4>at the stand yes, but the budget for that would
<v Speaker 4>have been way too big, so again the studio passed
<v Speaker 4>on that, and so eventually King and Romero just came
<v Speaker 4>together on their own and hey, we both, like he
<v Speaker 4>had just explained, love comic books. What if we do
<v Speaker 4>a movie like that. We can do it cheaper and
<v Speaker 4>it'll appeal to a mass audience. It's an anthology. Let's
<v Speaker 4>do this thing. Okay, I got that came from Salem's Lot.
<v Speaker 1>It is, it is, And we talked about Salem's Lot
<v Speaker 1>last year when we did our horror Movies of the seventies.
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Get this. So George Romero is super famous
<v Speaker 1>because he created the Knight of the Living Dead movie.
<v Speaker 1>Get this. So, he does Martin in nineteen seventy seven,
<v Speaker 1>about a man who thinks he's a vampire. But he
<v Speaker 1>had been out of film for a couple of years.
<v Speaker 1>He did a TV movie on OJ Simpson, Juics Is
<v Speaker 1>on the Loose. Did you get that the Jesus Loose,
<v Speaker 1>the good old fashioned heroic story of OJ Simpson. Well,
<v Speaker 1>it was a thing back in nineteen seventy four. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy four in a mirror.
<v Speaker 2>Twenty years later he would be driving down the highway
<v Speaker 2>in a white bronco.
<v Speaker 1>He does Donna the Dead in nineteen seventy eight, and
<v Speaker 1>he does Night Writers in nineteen eighty one. Do you
<v Speaker 1>know why I bring up Night Writers?
<v Speaker 3>No?
<v Speaker 1>I don't, because it stars mister Ed Harris, who's going
<v Speaker 1>to participate in Creep Show as a favor to George
<v Speaker 1>Romero because of their relationship.
<v Speaker 2>Night Writers. Okay, so that Night Writers. You're talking about
<v Speaker 2>that terrible biker movie, right.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about Michael and Kit.
<v Speaker 2>That's what I thought you were talking about. I was like,
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about You were confusing people here. We're not
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Hoff Night Riders Night Writers, which if
<v Speaker 2>I think I saw some of that and it was
<v Speaker 2>like it was a combination of medieval nights, except they
<v Speaker 2>were riding on motorcycles, like as you got it.
<v Speaker 1>It was a colossal piece of crowd really bad.
<v Speaker 3>That sounds terrible, you know.
<v Speaker 4>And the guy Tom Savini make up God did all
<v Speaker 4>the work on Dawn of the Dad, so that's why
<v Speaker 4>they brought him in for Creep Show. Yeah, and you know,
<v Speaker 4>fun little cameo in there too does.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's one of the garbage men at the very
<v Speaker 2>end who picks up the comic book.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's the garbage man that when I watched it
<v Speaker 1>for the first time, I'm like, what's this guy's problem.
<v Speaker 1>He's way over the top for this movie. By the way,
<v Speaker 1>I've got this little nugget for you. Romero and King
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do each part of the anthology as like
<v Speaker 1>a history of the movies. Right, So like the first
<v Speaker 1>segment was gonna be black and white, and then the
<v Speaker 1>next one was gonna be like narrow screen, and then
<v Speaker 1>the third one was gonna be like in three D,
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, wow, that would be really cool, right,
<v Speaker 1>very interesting. I would stylistically, I.
<v Speaker 2>Was gonna say, I would actually have appreciated some stylistic
<v Speaker 2>change in this one. Yeah, it came out as full
<v Speaker 2>comic book to me. Like the colors were bright. Obviously
<v Speaker 2>they used the comic book transitions they used, they used
<v Speaker 2>it heavily, but even the lighting and the color grading
<v Speaker 2>was very it was very comic bookie.
<v Speaker 1>It was comic bookie. And even like they had reaction
<v Speaker 1>shots where the ladies were like, ah, and there's like
<v Speaker 1>a comic book thing behind them, And that's.
<v Speaker 3>The beauty of it. That's what I think is the
<v Speaker 3>beauty of the movie.
<v Speaker 1>Those parts were interesting.
<v Speaker 2>When you would have the screams and it was and
<v Speaker 2>it was really like a cardboard cutout behind them and
<v Speaker 2>the flashing light.
<v Speaker 4>When we talk about segments, I'll talk about my favorite
<v Speaker 4>cartoony part of that movie just stands out to me
<v Speaker 4>is the best shot of the movie.
<v Speaker 1>But we'll get there, Amanda. Just to kind of go
<v Speaker 1>with you on your point. I would love to see
<v Speaker 1>a King Romero collaboration Salem's Lot or the Stand. That
<v Speaker 1>would be amazing.
<v Speaker 4>Well, that new Salem's Lot's coming out on maps, yes,
<v Speaker 4>maybe a week or two from now.
<v Speaker 1>And it looks it looks good, it looks great.
<v Speaker 4>Finally, and that's not normally my kind of thing, but
<v Speaker 4>I was latch of the previou I'm like, oh, I
<v Speaker 4>might have to watch that.
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, and from.
<v Speaker 4>What I understand, it has King's blessing, so not a
<v Speaker 4>lot of projects too, so it'll be interesting to see interesting.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, cool, Okay, Jason.
<v Speaker 2>We have got a huge catalog of actors, most of
<v Speaker 2>whom it was before they were famous, right, or maybe
<v Speaker 2>after they were famous, before they were famous.
<v Speaker 1>Again, you know there's a hodgepodge of people that you
<v Speaker 1>recognize in Creep Show, right, so one of them in
<v Speaker 1>the first one. The first segment is called Father's Day
<v Speaker 1>and that stars today. Yes, do you know what tomorrow is?
<v Speaker 1>Father's Day? It's October thirty. Yes. The mean anything to you? Now?
<v Speaker 1>What kind of friend are you? She? It was like
<v Speaker 1>a national holiday. It's these birthday tomorrow. Where's my cake?
<v Speaker 1>Where's my cake?
<v Speaker 3>You young again. How exciting? Happy early Birthday.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I've been a father for over twenty years now,
<v Speaker 1>huh have you ever gotten a cake on Father's Day?
<v Speaker 2>You actually asked me about getting a cake for this
<v Speaker 2>particular it's birthday. You're like, do you want a cake?
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, no, please, do not give me a cake.
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little worried.
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get a severed head with candles in Happy Birthday.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, thanks, thank you.
<v Speaker 1>I was like trying to rack my brain, like what
<v Speaker 1>national holiday is tomorrow? Oh, it's Dee's birth Okay. So
<v Speaker 1>the first segment of Creep Show is this the tale
<v Speaker 1>called Father's Day? Okay. Now, in this one you have
<v Speaker 1>Ed Harris disco dancing.
<v Speaker 2>A freaking from Oklahoma Harris Boomer Sooner, Boomer sooner. Although
<v Speaker 2>he did drop the program because they were like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you're not really that great an actors.
<v Speaker 1>I'll see, Yeah, what's story with that? Because you you
<v Speaker 1>were in the theater program, tell me about that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was.
<v Speaker 2>There was a lot of urban legend around Ed Harris
<v Speaker 2>in the theater department at the University of Oklahoma, especially
<v Speaker 2>for people who were rejected when it came time for juries,
<v Speaker 2>which is how you decided if you're going to get
<v Speaker 2>to go up be a performance major or not.
<v Speaker 1>The rumor was that he failed.
<v Speaker 2>His juries, they weren't going to let him be a
<v Speaker 2>performance major, and he said, I'll tell you what, I'll
<v Speaker 2>just go to New York City and do it on
<v Speaker 2>my own, or maybe Chicago. But I don't know that
<v Speaker 2>any of that's actually true. It's all just the rumor
<v Speaker 2>mill of the OU drama department.
<v Speaker 1>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>But I do know that he did not finish college
<v Speaker 2>at OU, and he did go on to be obviously
<v Speaker 2>a very famous actor.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes he did.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So in that first time off for a second, Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>do you want to talk about the casting and the
<v Speaker 4>wrap around for Creep Show?
<v Speaker 3>Though?
<v Speaker 1>Good point, Amanda. Let's talk about the prologue for Creep Show,
<v Speaker 1>because you start off with a very famous guy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>a very famous kid. Tell me about that.
<v Speaker 4>We got the god himself, Tom Atkins, whom I often
<v Speaker 4>joke with my husband and I'm on the Tom Atkins diet.
<v Speaker 3>So he is pre stash, you guys.
<v Speaker 4>I still every time I watch the movie cannot get
<v Speaker 4>over him without a mustache.
<v Speaker 3>Totally cracks me.
<v Speaker 4>Up what a mean so o b he is in
<v Speaker 4>that prologue, he is just an absolutely awful person. And
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't help think but when you were talking about
<v Speaker 4>the ec comics thing, when you call him a bastard
<v Speaker 4>like dude, like there might have been a little.
<v Speaker 3>Insto right there, exactly, thank you, right.
<v Speaker 4>And Tom Atkins character right there. But then the little
<v Speaker 4>boy is played by Stephen King's own son, Joe Hill, that's.
<v Speaker 1>Right, who looks just like him, the world famous author himself,
<v Speaker 1>right right, And yeah, Stephen King's son, if.
<v Speaker 4>I'm not mistaken, he does a lot of work on
<v Speaker 4>that creep show show itself that's on Shutter. I think
<v Speaker 4>he's heavily involved with that, so he kind of took
<v Speaker 4>over and he that's not that's the pseudonym he writes under.
<v Speaker 4>I can't remember his actual first name. But he's written
<v Speaker 4>books and stuff too, so he's pretty entrenched in the
<v Speaker 4>entertainment industry himself.
<v Speaker 3>But I think he.
<v Speaker 4>Went started going by Joe Hill just so he wouldn't
<v Speaker 4>be accused of neapotism, thank you, thank you. But when
<v Speaker 4>he actually slaps him in that scene too, it was
<v Speaker 4>the makeup and stuff and his dad took him to
<v Speaker 4>the store and the lady, the chucout lady at the
<v Speaker 4>store actually called the cops. That's thought that he was
<v Speaker 4>abusing his son. The planet was makeup work and stuff.
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, good work on the part of the makeup
<v Speaker 4>department on the movie for making it look that realistic.
<v Speaker 1>That's fantastic. By the way, Tom Adkins thrilled me right
<v Speaker 1>night of the Creeps Halloween the season of the Witch
<v Speaker 1>Leath the weapons shot through carton of mill That's right,
<v Speaker 1>Michael huntseicker.
<v Speaker 3>Only movie he's not playing a stud.
<v Speaker 2>So yes, prologs great. Before I watched the movie, I
<v Speaker 2>was like, I know, with Twilight Zone, we've got a
<v Speaker 2>we've got a prologue that'll get to you know, a
<v Speaker 2>button at the end.
<v Speaker 1>And Jason was like, yeah, we've got it on Creep
<v Speaker 1>Show too.
<v Speaker 2>So the kids reading the comic book and then of
<v Speaker 2>course like this death zombie looking thing I noticed. I'm like, man,
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing an episode by episode as we're going through,
<v Speaker 2>and George Romero is directing all of these, and every
<v Speaker 2>single one of them has some undead being in it it.
<v Speaker 2>Eventually he stops doing that. There there's no undead in
<v Speaker 2>some of them. But but you get that undead guy
<v Speaker 2>and then you get this cool transition into the cartoon
<v Speaker 2>cartoon slash comic, and that's when you get the introductory credits.
<v Speaker 1>And then we move into Father's Day.
<v Speaker 4>Right because we get the crypt Keeper. What is that
<v Speaker 4>called the crypt Keeper. It's called the crypt Keeper entails
<v Speaker 4>for the crypt but the skeleton. And it's funny because
<v Speaker 4>I was actually constructed from a real skeleton, a real
<v Speaker 4>human skeleton, but they dressed up and stuff because it
<v Speaker 4>was cheaper than buying a prop.
<v Speaker 3>So it was shipped from India.
<v Speaker 1>Wowow they what? Well? Wow? All right, Okay, that's stunning
<v Speaker 1>right there. Okay, so also in Father's Day, I want
<v Speaker 1>to point out Vivica lin Force. She plays Aunt Meadilia.
<v Speaker 1>I believe she is a famous like classical actress. H
<v Speaker 1>She started a movie in nineteen forty nine, Night unto Night.
<v Speaker 3>No.
<v Speaker 1>Why that's interesting because her star was mister Ronald Reagan,
<v Speaker 1>oh the actor.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Vice President Jerry Lewis.
<v Speaker 3>I gotta look up a picture of this now.
<v Speaker 1>And she was very pretty and even though she's super
<v Speaker 1>kind of old and haggard in Creep Show, but very beautiful.
<v Speaker 3>And she she was a drunk, so let's give her
<v Speaker 3>a little credit.
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to point out this other lady who's in it,
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth Reagan. She's Ed Harris's dancing partner, his wife, his wife.
<v Speaker 1>I guess, yeah, this is basically the only thing she
<v Speaker 1>ever does. Like, there's almost nothing else that she does, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>like somebody buried her in sand, we never see her again.
<v Speaker 4>I actually took note this time when I was watching
<v Speaker 4>it to prepare. I don't think she's that bad of
<v Speaker 4>an actress. Like when she's begging her brother to go
<v Speaker 4>out and with her husband, it looks very genuine. So
<v Speaker 4>that's the only thing she ever did that's interesting.
<v Speaker 1>What do you guys think about this segment of Father's Day? Richard,
<v Speaker 1>I'm scared and it's dark out there. Look, I just
<v Speaker 1>want to get another bottle of the line.
<v Speaker 3>Okay, please, Richard.
<v Speaker 1>All right, come on, come on.
<v Speaker 3>I love it.
<v Speaker 4>I love it, And in doing research, it seems almost
<v Speaker 4>like I might be a little bit the minority on
<v Speaker 4>that one, but I love it.
<v Speaker 3>I just think it's great.
<v Speaker 4>I think that the creature effects are fascinating, how dumb
<v Speaker 4>ed Harris is dancing, how he's just laying there with
<v Speaker 4>a headstone coming down. He doesn't even try to move
<v Speaker 4>the head on a planter. I just think the whole
<v Speaker 4>thing's great. I love the makeup effects, the creature designed.
<v Speaker 4>I love the whole thing. I think it's just a
<v Speaker 4>really interesting story too.
<v Speaker 2>So do you love the camp like on campy movies?
<v Speaker 2>Do you love the camp.
<v Speaker 3>It's done correctly?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? To me always, I'm in the majority here.
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, this is this is ridiculous.
<v Speaker 1>This, the whole thing is ridiculous. But I will say this.
<v Speaker 2>I will say when the hand comes up out of
<v Speaker 2>the ground, that was a good jump scare for me.
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, okay, it's a nice one, good one,
<v Speaker 1>all right. Yeah, But it was the.
<v Speaker 3>Jack Daniels said it that brought him back, right.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, No, I just I don't I don't get it.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what the point of the story is.
<v Speaker 2>Is like she killed him and he killed her back
<v Speaker 2>and then killed the kids too.
<v Speaker 1>The fact that Ed Harris lays on his back while
<v Speaker 1>that that stone is moving, moving, moving, because he's got
<v Speaker 1>no choice.
<v Speaker 2>He gets up and faces the demon from how or
<v Speaker 2>he gets he hopes that the thing doesn't fall.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my gosh, yeah, no, I was.
<v Speaker 2>I was in the same book roll over.
<v Speaker 1>You just roll over three.
<v Speaker 4>The mindset though that these are based on comic books
<v Speaker 4>like in comic books are ridiculous.
<v Speaker 1>Father, I got my copy Father's.
<v Speaker 4>If they had tried to make this all serious, it
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't be a come book movie.
<v Speaker 3>Then why call it creepshow?
<v Speaker 4>Why say it's based on comic books like it's it's
<v Speaker 4>a different kind of movie.
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I just want to I want to be completely
<v Speaker 2>transparent here. I had to hurry to get this movie done,
<v Speaker 2>so I watched it on my phone at one and
<v Speaker 2>a half speed, like I'm watching to get sped up,
<v Speaker 2>and even sped up, I'm still going Edie Harris, what
<v Speaker 2>are you doing?
<v Speaker 1>You have all of the time in the world.
<v Speaker 3>Go is that is funny? That is funny? I agree?
<v Speaker 3>I agree.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, there's a cool prop in this segment
<v Speaker 1>that is reused later. You know about this?
<v Speaker 4>Yep, every segment the ashtray that she'd be set in with,
<v Speaker 4>it's it appears on every single segment.
<v Speaker 1>Plus, wow, I didn't astray that she kills him with
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool huh. Yeah, that's great. I like that. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>we done with that one. Yeah, let's talk about the
<v Speaker 1>Lonesome Death of Jordy Viral. Sorrying, mister Stephen King himself,
<v Speaker 1>Jordy Beryl, your buckhead. I found that interesting as a kid.
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my gosh, that is Stephen King,
<v Speaker 1>the guy who has written all these unbelievable stories, and
<v Speaker 1>what a fantastic actor he is too.
<v Speaker 3>You're being facetious right now. I can tell.
<v Speaker 1>From Janet over there.
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you about his face right now. He
<v Speaker 3>is not serious.
<v Speaker 1>Okay.
<v Speaker 2>So the name of this one is the is the
<v Speaker 2>Lonesome Death of Jordie Beryl. There is a Bob Dylan
<v Speaker 2>song called the Lonesome Death of Hattie Carol.
<v Speaker 1>Interesting.
<v Speaker 2>I think it has to be taken from that, right,
<v Speaker 2>Just fyi, Pattie Carol, Bob Dylan wrote a song about her.
<v Speaker 2>She was a lady who was killed in nineteen sixty three,
<v Speaker 2>African American lady who was killed by the rich son
<v Speaker 2>of a tobacco farmer. And he got six months in
<v Speaker 2>jail and was released. It was it was at the
<v Speaker 2>time of gregation. It was at the time of he
<v Speaker 2>wasn't even tried by a jury. It was a three
<v Speaker 2>judge panel. And they gave him six months for assault
<v Speaker 2>and that was it. Bob Dylan writes a song called
<v Speaker 2>The Lonesome Death of Patti Carroll, and then Stephen King
<v Speaker 2>writes a story in the seventies.
<v Speaker 1>So this appeared in Gallery magazine, which is about ten
<v Speaker 1>notches down from Playboy.
<v Speaker 2>You know, so it makes Hustler look like Time, that's right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it was the way that we get Stephen
<v Speaker 1>King movies into the world.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, he was a beginning writer doing his best to
<v Speaker 2>feed his family. Whoever's willing to pay money for your story,
<v Speaker 2>take the money and run.
<v Speaker 1>But I do think it's interesting. So George Romero talks
<v Speaker 1>Stephen King into play in this part. Stephen King's like, dude,
<v Speaker 1>I'm writing the story. I'm busy, I'm working on Christine.
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to finish Christine. And He's like, no, you
<v Speaker 1>got to play this part. And so when he brought
<v Speaker 1>him in to play it, he said, I want you
<v Speaker 1>to play it just like Wiley Coyote.
<v Speaker 4>Yep, I have the exam well, because I think it's
<v Speaker 4>so interesting, he said. I don't think Steve to they
<v Speaker 4>has forgiven me because my only direction to him was
<v Speaker 4>play it like the Roadrunner and the Warner Brothers cartoons.
<v Speaker 4>Just go way out into left field with it and
<v Speaker 4>exaggerate as much as you want to, he recalled, And
<v Speaker 4>of course critics came back and said, well, this is
<v Speaker 4>not a very subtle performance, and it's not supposed to be.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's supposed to be a cartoon. It is
<v Speaker 4>basically a cartoon. So again, d it is a cartoon,
<v Speaker 4>it is a comic. It is you know, it's meant
<v Speaker 4>to be that way.
<v Speaker 1>Sure, okay, And I would argue, I'm going to push
<v Speaker 1>back on this just a little bit. If this is
<v Speaker 1>played serious, like a meteor from outer space comes and
<v Speaker 1>you get an infection on your body where plants are
<v Speaker 1>taking over your body and you cannot get wet or
<v Speaker 1>else and you're covered with this itch. It's this great
<v Speaker 1>rub of I have to shower, I can't shower. I
<v Speaker 1>think it's super tense. It could be super scary, and
<v Speaker 1>it's it's still scary, but it's it's it's really goofy.
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's scary at all. I don't think
<v Speaker 4>that was even the intention. Don't you think though, you know,
<v Speaker 4>I think like if you think back to like you know,
<v Speaker 4>fifties and sixties B movies, you know, the infestation of
<v Speaker 4>the giant ants and the radioactive whatever. Like I think
<v Speaker 4>that's more what it was meant to be, where it's like, okay,
<v Speaker 4>imagine this worst case scenario, but the people are going
<v Speaker 4>to make the worst decisions they possibly can make, you know,
<v Speaker 4>And that's why they made him a dumb character. To
<v Speaker 4>your point, if they had played it more serious, made
<v Speaker 4>him a smarter guy or whatever. Are you really scared
<v Speaker 4>that plants are going to take over the world? I
<v Speaker 4>mean really scary? We all saw the happening.
<v Speaker 3>Like, was that scary?
<v Speaker 4>No? You know, so, I think they played it with
<v Speaker 4>the right angle. I will say it's my least favorite
<v Speaker 4>segment out of.
<v Speaker 3>All of them.
<v Speaker 1>Really, wow, I like this one. I mean yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>like it because at the end it really does come
<v Speaker 1>to a head and he blows his brain.
<v Speaker 2>Then you know, no, no, I just can't. I can't
<v Speaker 2>support it. So the first story is this old lady
<v Speaker 2>is coming back for Father's Day, the day that she
<v Speaker 2>killed her father, and her father comes out of the
<v Speaker 2>grave and kills her. That's the end of the story. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>you got this story is a guy's he's a meteor,
<v Speaker 2>he touches it, he gets grass on him, it gets
<v Speaker 2>to grow over his whole body so much that he
<v Speaker 2>decides to blow his brains out. He's itchy. That's the
<v Speaker 2>beginning of a story. That's not the whole story. What
<v Speaker 2>there's no there's nothing.
<v Speaker 4>What's left to the imagination though, because at the end
<v Speaker 4>they talk about record level rainfalls, and you know, so
<v Speaker 4>it's like, how many meters actually fell?
<v Speaker 3>You know?
<v Speaker 4>Did it happen all over the town, did it happen
<v Speaker 4>all over the country, all over the world?
<v Speaker 3>Whatever? Is this the end of the world as we
<v Speaker 3>know it?
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's even I think that it lays
<v Speaker 1>it out for us that the weeds are taking over.
<v Speaker 1>We're one hundred and eighty eight miles from Boston and
<v Speaker 1>there's a big rain coming, and so it is the
<v Speaker 1>end of the world, which I thought was a really
<v Speaker 1>cool transition.
<v Speaker 4>Five miles from Castle rack Cartiff Kingsavanian.
<v Speaker 1>There you go. Apparently it didn't because we have Kujo
<v Speaker 1>next year. So there you go.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what's next on our creep show timeline?
<v Speaker 1>All right? The very next one is called something to
<v Speaker 1>Tide You Over? This star is a pre Cheers head
<v Speaker 1>dancing and a pre police squad Leslie Nielsen, Richard, get
<v Speaker 1>out of here. He's just getting revenge, Harry. We're all
<v Speaker 1>the relatives and baked and stuff. Get mamas are pre
<v Speaker 1>naked gun, pre naked gun. And that's basically it. You've
<v Speaker 1>got a girl in there some what, but it's basically
<v Speaker 1>these two guys you square off. This is my favorite one.
<v Speaker 1>This is my absolute fa Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>The storyline on this is much better. Okay, it's still
<v Speaker 2>not what I would call good, but it is much better.
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel the hate count?
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we even have to do final judgment.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I told you this is gonna be more like
<v Speaker 2>Brave Heart and Gladiator. Okay, all right, I'm not. I'm
<v Speaker 2>not just gonna ball out hate it, but it's there
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit more to the story in this one.
<v Speaker 2>You know, they can come back and they do it
<v Speaker 2>to him. But again, I'm just like, I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>I wanted something more. We're going to talk about the
<v Speaker 2>stories in twilet Zone here in the middle, and I
<v Speaker 2>will be able to tell you what was achieved there
<v Speaker 2>that was not achieved here.
<v Speaker 1>So let's just talk about what happens in this one.
<v Speaker 1>So you've got this guy named Richard Vickers who's played
<v Speaker 1>by Leslie Nilson, who's rich, powerful, jealous, and ted Danson
<v Speaker 1>has taken his wife, and so Richard's like, nobody takes
<v Speaker 1>anything from me, mister right.
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I love about Stephen King
<v Speaker 2>is the way that he comes up with character names.
<v Speaker 2>The guy's name is Richard Vickers and he's a rich
<v Speaker 2>guy like that, just that's great. I love the He's
<v Speaker 2>so good at naming these characters. In every book that
<v Speaker 2>I've read of his, the characters always have fantastic names.
<v Speaker 1>So he comes to ted Danson and he plays a
<v Speaker 1>little recorded clip and it's Becky who is like, oh
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, she's got me. Come give me. He'll help me.
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, what'd you do to her? I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna kill you. And he's like, oh, kill me.
<v Speaker 1>And you'll never find out where you know. It's the
<v Speaker 1>classic of You've got to come with me to find
<v Speaker 1>out where she is. And they get in the car
<v Speaker 1>and they take Leslie Nielsen's awesome jeep out to the beach.
<v Speaker 1>Is awesome.
<v Speaker 4>It is awesome, right, You can't skip over the fact
<v Speaker 4>in this segment though, that when Leslie Nielsen shows up.
<v Speaker 4>It's one of my favorite things about the movies or
<v Speaker 4>about the movie that Ted Danson is in a robe
<v Speaker 4>and Leslie Nielsen gives him time to change into a
<v Speaker 4>multi layered corduroy outfit before they leave. I think it's
<v Speaker 4>hilarious thinking about him sitting in the living room like
<v Speaker 4>you ready yet.
<v Speaker 1>Ted Danson also threatens him at the very beginning. He's like,
<v Speaker 1>move your foot, buddy, I bench pressed three hundred pounds
<v Speaker 1>a month. No you don't.
<v Speaker 3>That is a lie, right, good stuff.
<v Speaker 1>May Day Malone does not bench three hundred pounds. So
<v Speaker 1>they drag him out to the beach. Leslie Nilsen pulls
<v Speaker 1>a gun on him, tells him to get in the hole.
<v Speaker 1>There's like a giant hole built in the beach, and
<v Speaker 1>so ted Dance is like, no way, I'm not doing it,
<v Speaker 1>and he fires a bullet. So that's the question you
<v Speaker 1>have to ask yourself. Would I take the bullet? Would
<v Speaker 1>I take my chances in the hole?
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I totally run and straight at the guy.
<v Speaker 2>There's no way you don't see what's coming.
<v Speaker 1>In this scenario, I would take my chances with the
<v Speaker 1>sand I feel like I could wiggle my way out
<v Speaker 1>of sand.
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, your kids have never buried you in sand. I
<v Speaker 3>might be wrong, but especially what sand that's concrete.
<v Speaker 1>Down your feet?
<v Speaker 3>Is concrete?
<v Speaker 2>Oh sir, yes, but unless you happened to bench three
<v Speaker 2>hundred pounds so ted dance and should have gotten out.
<v Speaker 1>I'm given the ten foot running start at Leslie Nilson.
<v Speaker 1>I'm betting he can hit you from there with a
<v Speaker 1>with a gun, I know, but I might be able
<v Speaker 1>to take him down after he hits me. I'm not
<v Speaker 1>going to incapacitate myself voluntarily a chance. He also lies
<v Speaker 1>to him and says, if you'll do this, I just
<v Speaker 1>want to incapacitate you, and I'll tell you where she is.
<v Speaker 1>I thought she's you know. He said, I'll let you
<v Speaker 1>see her. I'll let you see. He doesn't lie, he
<v Speaker 1>doesn't relies. Yeah, so he does incapacitate him, and he
<v Speaker 1>does show her to him through the wonderful technology of VCR.
<v Speaker 1>On the beach.
<v Speaker 2>There's like a five mile cord that he's got rolling
<v Speaker 2>out of the back.
<v Speaker 1>Just in case you was like, how do you get
<v Speaker 1>power on the beat?
<v Speaker 2>You? Well, we rolled it in, sir. We have cables
<v Speaker 2>on a spool.
<v Speaker 1>Right by the way. Ted Danson had just shot the
<v Speaker 1>pilot for this TV show. I don't know if you
<v Speaker 1>ever heard of it. Nope, cheers. Oh was he in that?
<v Speaker 1>How about that? But I love that story.
<v Speaker 4>Nilsen lifting off the old Fox TV like it's nothing
<v Speaker 4>like it's a TV nowadays.
<v Speaker 3>That thing had to weigh one hundred and fifty pounds.
<v Speaker 2>Ago it was a two people job to move the
<v Speaker 2>TV around in the living room.
<v Speaker 1>Remember that? Yep?
<v Speaker 3>Well maybe he bunches benches three hundred pounds too.
<v Speaker 1>And then well he shows Ted dancing that Becky you know,
<v Speaker 1>was in the hole as well, and the tide was
<v Speaker 1>coming in and she had to fight to keep from drowning.
<v Speaker 2>Live feed that VCER back there is on record, not play.
<v Speaker 1>And then and then he asked him, you know, how
<v Speaker 1>long can you hold your breath? That to me is
<v Speaker 1>super tense. I love this story. I think it's great. Yep, yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's better. Yeah better?
<v Speaker 4>Did you get the hevgbs when they just kept showing
<v Speaker 4>his head though, Like I felt like claustrophobic because I
<v Speaker 4>started thinking about that because I have been buried in
<v Speaker 4>sand at the beach. You know, playfully obviously, and it's
<v Speaker 4>like you can't move. It's like concrete. So it's like
<v Speaker 4>I was, especially if you're vertical like that, and he
<v Speaker 4>had a neil and he was right, you have no leverage.
<v Speaker 4>Your arms are down at your side, You're not getting
<v Speaker 4>out of there. Like so I was literally like getting
<v Speaker 4>a little clauster foback just sitting there watching that.
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you that the effect that they did
<v Speaker 2>where his head is completely under the water and he's
<v Speaker 2>gasping for breath, that was intense. That was a great shot.
<v Speaker 2>That was an intense shot. You're wondering what's going to happen?
<v Speaker 2>How is he going to get out of this?
<v Speaker 1>And then it.
<v Speaker 2>Cuts away to Leslie Nielsen watching it on his you know,
<v Speaker 2>on his cameras at the house comes back and Leslie
<v Speaker 2>Nielson is like, well, he must have washed away with
<v Speaker 2>the tide because he can't find the body.
<v Speaker 4>When I had mentioned earlier about the best shot in
<v Speaker 4>the movie, Yeah, that's my favorite shot.
<v Speaker 3>When it's back lit comic book style.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but it's backlit in his hair and the way
<v Speaker 4>the bubbles are going up the way they're supposed to whatever, Like,
<v Speaker 4>how did they do that.
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>I just talked about it.
<v Speaker 2>Actually, he said that they had an aquarium, put him
<v Speaker 2>in a wet suit and like somebody would hand him
<v Speaker 2>a breather and he'd But how.
<v Speaker 4>Did they hair like because we're pre cgi were pre Like,
<v Speaker 4>I don't think.
<v Speaker 1>She was in the water.
<v Speaker 3>Pretty cool shot, Like, I don't know. I just think
<v Speaker 3>it's the coolest shot in the movie.
<v Speaker 1>That's great. Did you hear the backup plan for the effects,
<v Speaker 1>So they had a guy with the scuba gear thing
<v Speaker 1>and in case they ran into problems, Tom Sevini had
<v Speaker 1>a sledgehammer. He's gonna bash the aquarium. Oh good, okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a good safe plan. Let's do this thing.
<v Speaker 3>Always had a backup job. I always had a backup.
<v Speaker 1>Also, rumor has it that Leslie Nilsen, before they would
<v Speaker 1>start filming, he had a little fart maker and I
<v Speaker 1>can't even say with that cracking up, but right before
<v Speaker 1>they he'd say okay, action, he'd make a little far
<v Speaker 1>He would constantly be cracking up Ted dancing. That's hilarious.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the end of the scene when Ted
<v Speaker 1>dancing and Becky come back. You know, zombie fide First
<v Speaker 1>of all, they zombie up. They look pruney, overly pruney,
<v Speaker 1>you know, for being in the water for two hours.
<v Speaker 1>And then he shoots them and like soy sauce comes
<v Speaker 1>out of their head. I think they're also moving extremely slow.
<v Speaker 1>And you're gonna tell me that they like dug a
<v Speaker 1>hole and chased him around and grabbed him and put
<v Speaker 1>him in there.
<v Speaker 2>Well, but I mean part of this is that they
<v Speaker 2>they have the magic of being undead because on all
<v Speaker 2>of the cameras when it would show you the camera shot,
<v Speaker 2>they weren't in it. You didn't see them in the
<v Speaker 2>camera shot.
<v Speaker 1>That's true.
<v Speaker 2>They they're like a ghost. This is like a ghost post,
<v Speaker 2>a Tailtale heart kind of thing. Where is Leslie Nielsen
<v Speaker 2>really being attacked by zombies or is it just his
<v Speaker 2>psychological breakdown?
<v Speaker 1>Interesting? Yeah, I can hold my breath a long time.
<v Speaker 1>Or is Frank Drevin just having a terrible nightmare? Okay,
<v Speaker 1>we on to the next one. Yeah, the next one's
<v Speaker 1>called the Crate. This was actually the longest segment at
<v Speaker 1>forty minutes. They said that this was supposed to be
<v Speaker 1>number three, but they pushed it to number four because
<v Speaker 1>they didn't want it to drag in the middle.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, in my opinion, it batted cleanup. This is
<v Speaker 2>the best one of them all for me.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay. This stars Hal Holbrook, Adrian Barbo, and Fluffy.
<v Speaker 1>Fluffy is the name that they gave the creature from
<v Speaker 1>the Crate. Okay, all right. I sent you guys a
<v Speaker 1>picture yesterday. You know, there's this creature who lives in
<v Speaker 1>a crate. They got him at the in the Arctic.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, we've never seen a creature like this, or
<v Speaker 1>have we? And I sent you a picture of the
<v Speaker 1>Bumble from the Rootolph the Red Nose reindeer special Bumbles.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. They based it on a Yuie, so they nailed it.
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, I mean it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was supposed to be from an Arctic expedition from
<v Speaker 2>June nineteen, eighteen thirty four, and I looked that up
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, nothing happened on that. Like literally,
<v Speaker 2>if you look up the date, the first thing that
<v Speaker 2>comes up is the create Wikipedia site. So that's the
<v Speaker 2>only event that happened. That's of note is that they
<v Speaker 2>put that on the crate. But what is interesting is
<v Speaker 2>right before this movie came out, Adrian Barbeo had the
<v Speaker 2>sole female appearance in another movie that we've talked about
<v Speaker 2>that dealt with an Arctic expedition and a monster.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it is, I do tell me it was the thing. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and she played the voice of the computer. That's right,
<v Speaker 1>she was the voice of the computer. She was also
<v Speaker 1>married to John Carpenter at the time. I believe she was. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's right.
<v Speaker 4>Special effects were done by Rob Mutine, who also designed
<v Speaker 4>the skeleton Cryptkeeper at the beginning of Creep Show.
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice, there you go. Adrian Barboau was also in
<v Speaker 1>this movie called Canniball Run. Oh yeah, yes, starring Burt Rolls,
<v Speaker 1>and we covered that season one we did. You can
<v Speaker 1>go back and listen to that versus Smoking in the Bandit.
<v Speaker 1>You also have Hal Holbrick, though, I want to bring
<v Speaker 1>attention to him. We had a great conversation about this.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, do you have any you have any trivia
<v Speaker 2>on how Holbrook And I was like, well, he's on
<v Speaker 2>The Golden Girls and You're like, yeah, you told me that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, wait a minute. It was not the Golden Girls,
<v Speaker 2>it was the Southern Golden Girls.
<v Speaker 1>What is that show? And he was like, the Southern
<v Speaker 1>Golden Girls. I'm like, yeah, you know, it's like any women.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you know, Southern Golden Girls.
<v Speaker 2>Four smart ass slightly older than normal ladies, giving it
<v Speaker 2>their best. I know it well enough to say that
<v Speaker 2>I watched the show and how Wolbrook was a part
<v Speaker 2>of that show.
<v Speaker 4>The way you just said that, slightly smarter than or
<v Speaker 4>slightly older than normal ladies.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what to say normal ladies and TV
<v Speaker 1>shows of the day, older than normal middle aged? They
<v Speaker 1>were middle aged. How about that.
<v Speaker 4>I'm coming up on a golden age myself here in
<v Speaker 4>the age they were in that show, turned down.
<v Speaker 1>The barrel of half a century. I know, happy birthday,
<v Speaker 1>here you go. Hal Holbrick in two thousand and eight,
<v Speaker 1>at age eighty two, is the oldest actor ever nominated
<v Speaker 1>for an Academy Award. Okay, little tidbit on hal Holbrook
<v Speaker 1>was married to Dixie Carter, who's in Designing One. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was his wife. Okay, how about that. Nepotism comes
<v Speaker 1>right back up the.
<v Speaker 4>Night the lights out in Georgia favorite taxi Carter line.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you asked me what hal Holbrook was nominated
<v Speaker 1>for an Academy Award for, Yes, and I was like,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know some movie in two thousand and seven,
<v Speaker 1>one I probably don't care about or never heard of.
<v Speaker 1>Not true. Right, it's a movie called Into the Wild,
<v Speaker 1>and it's amazing. We just talked about this again. We
<v Speaker 1>talked about Meal Hirst, we talked about a week ago.
<v Speaker 1>That's right. It's crazy how these things coming up. And
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even kidding.
<v Speaker 2>Arlen, who's who's been a listener since we since day one,
<v Speaker 2>called me to talk about our best of Best Songs
<v Speaker 2>of nineteen ninety four as I was driving over here today, right,
<v Speaker 2>and he brought up a Meal Hirsch as well. I
<v Speaker 2>don't even know why. I don't know how he came up.
<v Speaker 2>But we're talking to Meal Hirsch and I'm like, okay, buddy,
<v Speaker 2>I gotta let you go. I'm about to go in
<v Speaker 2>and record on Creep Show versus Twilight Zone.
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, oh, I love both of those movies.
<v Speaker 1>I love both those movies.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, when you go in and say, tell them
<v Speaker 2>to call you Billy.
<v Speaker 1>Call me Belly. Everyone else does. By the way, this
<v Speaker 1>is the one movie where Adrian Barbo's boobs could not
<v Speaker 1>pull her out of being a likable person. No, she's
<v Speaker 1>horrible in this movie.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yep. And we've all known somebody like her. Actually,
<v Speaker 2>her performance in this like as she's reading the letter
<v Speaker 2>you got to you gotta think you have his voice
<v Speaker 2>over and her reading this letter and kind of moving
<v Speaker 2>around in the kitchen as she reads the letter, and
<v Speaker 2>her delight and excitement at the misfortune of others is
<v Speaker 2>so palatable and so well done. She's I feel like
<v Speaker 2>she's an underrated actress. Maybe her boobs held her back somewhat.
<v Speaker 3>And she celebrates them. That's a light with a glass
<v Speaker 3>of milk.
<v Speaker 1>Yep. You know. She starred in a movie in nineteen
<v Speaker 1>eighty two called Swamp Thing, which was very much like
<v Speaker 1>the Death of Jordi Verral. That's true. Yeah, there you go.
<v Speaker 1>Her boobs were more prominent than that one. That movie
<v Speaker 1>was rated PG.
<v Speaker 2>I know, thank you cause I got to watch it
<v Speaker 2>as it was like Airplane for you exactly like I'm
<v Speaker 2>watching them, like, oh wow, I get this in a movie.
<v Speaker 1>I'm allowed to watch. This is fantastic. It's totally okay, mom,
<v Speaker 1>because it's PG.
<v Speaker 4>We you can thank Pultzer guys for PG thirteen. So
<v Speaker 4>grip a guy's face off.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go on to the next one. The next
<v Speaker 1>segment is called They're Creeping up on You. This star
<v Speaker 1>is mister E. G. Marshall. I've got this bug problem.
<v Speaker 1>Once you get budged, you never get rid of breed.
<v Speaker 1>In the close paces the conuits, very core of building.
<v Speaker 2>Itself, almost exclusively. This is like a one man show,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, except for you know, people on the intercom
<v Speaker 2>on the on the telephone, right, And then a one
<v Speaker 2>brief where he and it's a greatly it is very
<v Speaker 2>well done bit where he's talking to the maintenance man
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the door and they're talking
<v Speaker 2>through a little piece of glass that looks like it
<v Speaker 2>must be a magnifying glass. So as you move perspectives
<v Speaker 2>you see their mouths enlarged to kind of gross graphic
<v Speaker 2>proportions as they're talking. But he does this whole thing
<v Speaker 2>basically by himself.
<v Speaker 1>He's awesome in it.
<v Speaker 2>It's really good. I mean, this is a I mean,
<v Speaker 2>this is a guy who's in twelve Angry Men. This
<v Speaker 2>is the guy who played the president in Superman two.
<v Speaker 2>And the lights aren't twinkling Clark all right. Art from
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Vacation. Thanks Art no, and thanks for noticing.
<v Speaker 1>He's a horrible person too, and his delight in other
<v Speaker 1>people's problems is he's gleeful. Oh it's terrible. You want
<v Speaker 1>him to die. He's like, so your husband went on
<v Speaker 1>with a bang. Eh, yeah, he.
<v Speaker 4>Could be best friends in a character we're going to
<v Speaker 4>talk about Twilight, soe that's for sure.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So he's a horrible and obviously this is based
<v Speaker 1>on Howard Hughes, who is a germophobe and he's got
<v Speaker 1>all these you know, he starts to see bugs in
<v Speaker 1>his apartment and he's like, I'm paying thirty two hundred
<v Speaker 1>bucks for the penthouse apartment. This is supposed to be
<v Speaker 1>germ free, and how can it be germ free if
<v Speaker 1>it's not even bug free? He's got cockroaches. And I
<v Speaker 1>remember as a kid on my way out to catch
<v Speaker 1>the school bus, I was watching Good Morning in America
<v Speaker 1>with my mom and they showed the preview for this
<v Speaker 1>and it was like the weird guy with a big
<v Speaker 1>mustache on Good Morning in America and he was show
<v Speaker 1>he showed a clip where cockroaches were taking over and
<v Speaker 1>it was like gonna kill, you know, killing this guy,
<v Speaker 1>And I was horrified. As a little kid going to school.
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, this is this is super intense. It's
<v Speaker 1>gross and it's scary and you can feel it coming.
<v Speaker 4>So apparently they imported all the cockroaches from Trinidad because
<v Speaker 4>if they would have purchased them in the States, they
<v Speaker 4>would have been like fifty cents a piece, so it
<v Speaker 4>was cheaper to bring them in from Trinidad. They brought
<v Speaker 4>in about eighteen thousand of them and then had a
<v Speaker 4>trailer on set where they bread the cockroaches because they
<v Speaker 4>needed so many of them. And there is article after
<v Speaker 4>article about how you cannot control the coach.
<v Speaker 3>Cockroach does not act.
<v Speaker 1>They had to.
<v Speaker 4>Cover the walls and back basilin to keep them from
<v Speaker 4>climbing the walls. Oh my gosh, they did not recover
<v Speaker 4>nearly as many as they released on this set.
<v Speaker 3>They were all over the place.
<v Speaker 4>They would pick up the phone, they'd hear him in
<v Speaker 4>the handsets and the and.
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would burn that place to the ground.
<v Speaker 4>Right, I mean, but cockroaches nuclear war, you know, I
<v Speaker 4>mean they're going to survive that too. I just the
<v Speaker 4>whole segment grosses me out so bad.
<v Speaker 1>They laugh at your vasolene attempts.
<v Speaker 3>To cut it, yeah, right, And originally they wanted the set.
<v Speaker 4>Romeiro wanted the set to be a fully carpeted apartment,
<v Speaker 4>but they knew that wasn't going to work for the
<v Speaker 4>cockroaches either, which I think is a good call because
<v Speaker 4>if he was a germophobe.
<v Speaker 3>Germophobes to that degree aren't going to have carpeting.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>The the stark white of everything in the apartment, in
<v Speaker 2>the pentast apartment is a great effect, and I think
<v Speaker 2>that it is accentuated by the fact that they have
<v Speaker 2>that one old school jukebox just in the middle of it.
<v Speaker 2>Like it's not like he's really enjoying the music that much,
<v Speaker 2>but for some reason, having that thing right there makes
<v Speaker 2>it more real than if he was in a completely sanitary,
<v Speaker 2>sterile environment.
<v Speaker 1>That'd be the one prop I want from this movie
<v Speaker 1>that that jewbox is amazing. It's pretty cool. Full of cockroaches. Now,
<v Speaker 1>by the way, so the end scene where he of
<v Speaker 1>course is consumed by the cockroaches, there's this incredible effect
<v Speaker 1>where like his neck opens up and all these cockroaches
<v Speaker 1>come pouring out, And I wondered, like, how did they
<v Speaker 1>get that effect? Well, I guess Tom Savini had like
<v Speaker 1>this giant fat syringe full of cockroaches and he just
<v Speaker 1>pushed the little plunger and they just almost out of
<v Speaker 1>the guy's neck.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, and the as the scene went on,
<v Speaker 2>it became very obvious that he had a dummy. It
<v Speaker 2>was no longer right there, right as that scene began,
<v Speaker 2>and he was actually dying. There's a moment where like
<v Speaker 2>his forehead swells up and it's still him, Like it's
<v Speaker 2>still it's still his head, it's the actor's head. And
<v Speaker 2>I see it swell up as though the cockroach is
<v Speaker 2>moving under his skin. And I'm like, that's the best
<v Speaker 2>effect in this whole dang movie. That was incredible.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know practice effects, amen, sister.
<v Speaker 4>I miss those days, man, because CGI gets outdated tomorrow.
<v Speaker 4>None of these effects look out data to me looks like.
<v Speaker 1>The video for black Hole Sun. That's right, okay. And
<v Speaker 1>then we get the epilogue afterwards, right, this is when
<v Speaker 1>little Joe Hill has got a voodoo doll that he's
<v Speaker 1>sticking it to his dad.
<v Speaker 2>Finally, well, the I you, they totally bait you with that, right.
<v Speaker 2>They give the foreshadowing because the garbage men who find
<v Speaker 2>the comic book. They're like, oh, you can, you know,
<v Speaker 2>do this Joe Atlas thing, or you can do this.
<v Speaker 2>You can get these extra glasses. Now those don't actually work.
<v Speaker 2>Oh you can order do all. It looks like somebody
<v Speaker 2>or already ordered the voodoo. That was cool, right, wink
<v Speaker 2>nudge yep. And once again those garbage men. One of
<v Speaker 2>those guys is Tom Savini, the makeup effects guy for
<v Speaker 2>Creep Show.
<v Speaker 1>And then I love it that.
<v Speaker 4>He has little cameos in a lot of movies he
<v Speaker 4>does because you know, he was in Dawn of the
<v Speaker 4>Dada as well as one of the bikers and stuff.
<v Speaker 4>I just love having that little rough edge that he has.
<v Speaker 4>So a pleasant surprise because I forgot about him being
<v Speaker 4>a garbage until I saw it again.
<v Speaker 1>Sound nice nice? Okay, So that pretty much wraps up
<v Speaker 1>Creep Show. I do have a couple of little nuggets
<v Speaker 1>I want to drop on you. They originally were going
<v Speaker 1>to release this for Halloween. They didn't release it until
<v Speaker 1>like November tenth, eleventh, something like that in nineteen eighty
<v Speaker 1>two because they were scared off because Halloween three season
<v Speaker 1>of The Witch was coming out.
<v Speaker 2>For our listening audience, our guest host today, Amanda Janek
<v Speaker 2>is wearing a Halloween two T shirt right now.
<v Speaker 1>My favorite one, Halloween three is the one with that
<v Speaker 1>crazy song that still haunts my dreams. But they were
<v Speaker 1>scared off because they thought that was going to be
<v Speaker 1>the big hit, right, and it turned out people didn't
<v Speaker 1>really like not having Michael Myers in a Halloween movie.
<v Speaker 2>It turns out right the'son the Witch can go suck
<v Speaker 2>an eggsurgence.
<v Speaker 3>Don't kid yourself.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, by the way, Season of the Witch, I don't.
<v Speaker 1>Did we mention the fact that Tom Adkins is in. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>tom Adkins big player in season the Witch. But they
<v Speaker 1>moved it back to November twelfth, which is typically holiday kids,
<v Speaker 1>you know, Snoopy and Thanksgiving and all that stuff, And
<v Speaker 1>so you have kind of a creepy, scary movie in
<v Speaker 1>mid November. Also, I thought this was cool for good luck.
<v Speaker 1>Throughout the filming of Creep Show, Stephen King kept a
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars action figure of Greedo in his pocket.
<v Speaker 2>That's a weird character to choose.
<v Speaker 1>It is weird. That is strange. It is weird.
<v Speaker 2>Unshot first, but first, so I'm listening to what you're saying.
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, these sound like terrible ideas. This was the
<v Speaker 2>highest grossing Warner Brothers horror movie of the year and
<v Speaker 2>second weekend it first Blood out.
<v Speaker 1>Of the top spot. Wow. That is no small achievements. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>so that's gonna do it For this first episode of
<v Speaker 1>Creepshow versus Twilight Zone, Amanda, thank you for coming on.
<v Speaker 1>You're coming back next week to do part two with us?
<v Speaker 3>You bet?
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait, all right? Awesome? Okay, thanks guys, we'll
<v Speaker 1>see you next week.
