Henrique Couto and David Denoyer revisit BLADE (1998), the R-rated Marvel vampire action film that introduced movie audiences to Wesley Snipes’ Eric Brooks: the Daywalker with a vampire’s strength, a human conscience and none of the undead’s sunlight vulnerability. Director Stephen Norrington and screenwriter David S. Goyer turn a comic-book adaptation into a martial-arts-heavy horror thriller, and the hosts place its success between the fallout from Batman & Robin and the superhero boom that followed.
The story begins with Blade’s birth after his pregnant mother is attacked, then follows hematologist Karen Jenson (N’Bushe Wright) after Quinn bites her in a hospital morgue. Blade and his mentor-armorer Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) race to stop Karen’s transformation while tracking Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), an ambitious turned vampire seeking the power of the blood god La Magra. Their discussion follows Frost’s rebellion against the pure-blood council, the vampire archives, Blade’s serum and the temple ritual that makes his blood essential to Frost’s plan.
The episode digs into the unforgettable slaughterhouse blood-rave opening: its pounding techno, goth-club imagery, deliberately wasteful spectacle and the practical headache of plumbing a room to rain blood. Henrique and David ask whether anyone besides Snipes could have balanced Blade’s swagger, martial arts and comic-book silliness, while celebrating Kristofferson’s effortlessly cool Whistler and Donald Logue’s repeatedly dismembered Quinn. They also trace the striking range of 1990s vampire cinema, from romantic Gothic horror to action and comedy.
The hosts find the movie gloriously excessive, funny and still influential, even when its late-1990s digital effects and plotting become ridiculous. One considers it a strong rental that may become an own-it for nostalgic action and superhero fans; the other calls it an outright buy for its trailblazing mix of vampire horror, hard-R violence and superhero spectacle. Mortal Kombat and John Carpenter’s Vampires enter the conversation as companion pieces for the same era and energy.
Beyond Blade, the recorded sidebars compare Liam Neeson’s comic presence with Leslie Nielsen’s legacy in The Naked Gun, consider what long gaps between installments mean through the Freaky Friday films, and explore memorable gross-out cinema. It is a detailed, affectionate review of the cast, lore, action design, soundtrack and genre impact behind one of Marvel’s defining pre-MCU movies.

seen him living color when Jim carried a wh God,

18
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.519
damn it. What's the song called impostor informant? I think

19
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:43.680
it's informant. He was that South South African white rapper,

20
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:50.439
damn it? What the hell is his name? But he

21
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.200
basically did a he didn't Living color sketch all about

22
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.400
how that guy was a huge poser.

23
00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.040
Mmm, I mean a gangly white Canadian like him would.

24
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.480
Know Informer that's the name of the song. Impost. Snow

25
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.799
is what the the sketch is called because Snow was

26
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.159
the artist and the song was called Informer, and he

27
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:09.960
called it imposter.

28
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.319
There was a white, white South African rapper named Snow.

29
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.599
Yes, I'm checking, hang on, I did not know that.

30
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:19.719
I'm not I'm not denying it.

31
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.520
I'm checking checking had not Canadian. My apologies.

32
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.680
Oh that's less. Geez Davi's like, sorry about making it

33
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.840
extremely charred. Yeah, that's bad. This is the stuff ideal.

34
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:33.360
Well he did.

35
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.879
He did reggae. That's what Snow did.

36
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.759
There were a few white reggae ars gayers in the

37
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.840
UH in the nineties.

38
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.479
I feel like, did you ever hear Eddie Murphy's red

39
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.560
Light song that he did when he was doing reggae?

40
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.639
When I think Snoop Lyon was kind of doing the

41
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.439
same thing around that time. He did a song called

42
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.719
red Light. I don't even know if you can still

43
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.800
find him besides YouTube because it used to be on

44
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.400
like streaming services and whatnot. But I don't think it's

45
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.680
even worth a video still because I know he had

46
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.199
a music video for it, but it was a pretty

47
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.840
solid song. But I mean Eddie Murphy was is a musician. Technically,

48
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:10.479
I like it.

49
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.520
At first it sounded like praise, and then it became

50
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.360
not so praised. I didn't technically.

51
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.599
I mean people people don't know him for his music.

52
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.800
I feel like in this day they know him because

53
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.919
he was a comedian and a star. Yeah oh yeah,

54
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.319
eleven years ago red Light featuring Snoope line.

55
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.280
In this day and age, kids they just don't know it,

56
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:27.680
you know, they just don't understand.

57
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.319
But yeah, no, I that's a solid song. I never

58
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.240
heard that in a while. Listen that a way home?

59
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.960
Yeah, yeah, you know you're gonna stick to that story.

60
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.120
I'm gonna stick that store even though actually if I

61
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.120
want to listen to it on the way home, I

62
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.759
still have to listen to it through my phone because

63
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.919
I still can only play CDs in my car right now.

64
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.800
So what is the problem with the car?

65
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.360
Oh, the cassette tech. The cassette tech died, which is

66
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.039
how I have my adapter that played through my phone

67
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.599
or I can hook it up to whatever. Because I

68
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.639
have the CASSETTEP adapter thing. It doesn't have the FM

69
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.719
hooked up. When I when I bought the car. Yeah,

70
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.080
you don't have the f it's not hooked up. So,

71
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.199
I mean, in all reality, and I think I've said

72
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.039
this on the show already, in all reality, I could

73
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.919
probably just have the radio taken out, hook up the

74
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.560
FM and I'd be fine. Is that I can use

75
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:10.199
my transmitter.

76
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.759
I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be difficult.

77
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:13.280
It wouldn't.

78
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.120
How how was the FM not hooked up?

79
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.279
I don't know. It just that's how it wasn't when

80
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:18.959
I got the car. It just wasn't hooked up.

81
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:20.560
Yeah, that's that's odd.

82
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.079
Yeah, the car has never had FM radio like in

83
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.480
the M the a M. Well, okay, so it's weird

84
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.079
because it I can get FM radio, but it's I

85
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.279
have to turn that fucker all the way up in

86
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.560
order for it to in order to hear it. And

87
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.680
that's even just lightly.

88
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.079
So you do have FM, it just doesn't work. Well,

89
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.240
the intet is probably not hooked up.

90
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.240
Yes, yeah, strengthened.

91
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:47.519
Well, well, have you tried an FM transmitter because it

92
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:48.240
might be louder.

93
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:48.600
I did.

94
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.560
It didn't work. It didn't work at all. Now, even

95
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.920
when all it did.

96
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.240
Was it just made it go basically silent. So like

97
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.000
it's getting the signal, but it does I only know,

98
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.439
but knows what's what it can do with it for

99
00:04:58.519 --> 00:04:58.959
that matter.

100
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.120
It's weird. That's weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it should just

101
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.600
get a new stereo. I'm probably going They're not that expensive.

102
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:05.720
And I mean, actually was.

103
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.319
I was at my dad's shop a couple of days

104
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:08.839
ago and he's got a couple and I was like,

105
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.360
are you doing anything with those? And he's like, oh no,

106
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.839
if you actually want one of those and it would fit,

107
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:12.360
let me know.

108
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.279
But even a new stereo is not expensive.

109
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.360
But even just to get a new cassette deck for

110
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.639
the time being, what you.

111
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:21.680
Just want a cassette deck.

112
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.319
I mean, that's how I've listened to my music. Like

113
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:25.439
I mean, don't get me wrong, Like I have a

114
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.040
shit ton of CDs and I have a shit to

115
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.800
like cassetts, but I.

116
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.600
Have a ship ton of iPhone Internet.

117
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.439
But I also just that adapter literally plug and play.

118
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.839
It's the simplest thing for me.

119
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.160
I mean there are simpler No, don't get me wrong.

120
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.079
As somebody who literally drove his mom's car last night,

121
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.000
and I was and I had the ability to bluetooth

122
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:48.639
into the radio through my phone and whatnot.

123
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:49.240
That was nice.

124
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:50.040
Don't get me wrong.

125
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.959
The best thing I ever did on my old car

126
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.079
was put a new radio, and.

127
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.399
That was the thing was I've like when I the

128
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.959
last time I put a radio in my car was

129
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.360
when I had my first g because it was shortly

130
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.000
after I put that radio in, like a year after

131
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.199
I put that radio in that I ended up getting

132
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.560
newer Geep, the red Jeep. But that was like the

133
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.680
only time I've really ever done a hystereo replacement. And

134
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.959
that was, like I think I've said on the show before,

135
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.560
like that was kind of a pain in the ass.

136
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.040
But I had a buddy doing it. He did it

137
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.480
for a six pack, so I can't really complain. But

138
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:20.920
that was when we had that whole thing with like

139
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.839
the headlight wires getting crossed so the radio would work,

140
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.279
and then I turned on the headlights and the radio

141
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.959
didn't work, and yeah, it was a whole.

142
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:28.839
And they turned the wipers in the garage door over,

143
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.959
just like, what the hell's happening here?

144
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.720
What's you put my window down? Ejector seat A.

145
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.480
Yeah. Cars are fun, they are They're a blast.

146
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.800
Yeah, sure, they can't all be the car. I love

147
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.920
that movie. It's a good movie, freaking Jaws, but it's

148
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.439
a car basically, well.

149
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.199
There were a lot of that, Oh yeah, Jaws, but

150
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:51.800
it's a car.

151
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:52.079
Yeah.

152
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.240
It's kind of like until eventually it came all the

153
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.399
way around to Jaws, but it's a shark, yeah, which

154
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.800
is what happened with die Hard as well. What about

155
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:03.040
Diehard and office building, It's like, that's just Diehard. It's like, yeah,

156
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.160
but that was eight years ago. We've done Diehard in

157
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.240
a submarine. We've been Diehard in a prison.

158
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.959
I got so excited recently because I've been trying to

159
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.920
see Skyscraper, the the Shannon Tweed die Hard knockoff or

160
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.600
is it Nicole An Cole Smith?

161
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's PM Entertainment.

162
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.560
It's fucking on YouTube, and I'm so excited I can

163
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.480
finally see it that I thought that was legitimately on

164
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.360
two b Uh if it was, it's not anymore when

165
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:26.759
I looked at it, like a battle week ago or so,

166
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.279
because there's no contest, which is Shannon Tweed and then

167
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:34.160
there's Annacole Smith's Skyscraper. There's no contest is Shannon Tweeds

168
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.000
die Hard with Andrew Dice Clay as a terrorist at

169
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.959
a swim model thing.

170
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.279
Andrew Dice Clay. Yeah, I love this.

171
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.199
Yeah, No contest?

172
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.399
Is that? Was that a PM entertainment as well? Probably?

173
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.560
I have no idea, but I would It wouldn't surprise me.

174
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.560
This guy it's on two b oh is it?

175
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:56.079
Uh?

176
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.240
Well, I can sort of check, okay, like fully by

177
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.000
clicking on the link. I mean, no, it looks like

178
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.399
it's gone. Wait much of Josh went away? Well, if

179
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.879
I could spell skyscraper, which I can't, No, it's there.

180
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.000
No, it is, Yeah, because I found there's a channel

181
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.160
that I found recently that had like I think it

182
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.959
was like twenty five movies in a playlist. It was

183
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.839
a bunch of those like No Contest, Skyscraper, Body, Body

184
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:24.720
of Evidence, It's.

185
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.959
Of an Innocence maybe, I mean that's the one with

186
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:32.840
the radio DJ. Yeah, Yeah, that one's good. I think

187
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.799
that was the one. Or was that? No? No, that's night rhythms.

188
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.879
What's body Body of Innocences with Shannon Worry? Okay?

189
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:40.639
Where was that Body of Influence? Is that the one

190
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.399
that that influenced?

191
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.840
Yeah, there's so many body.

192
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.000
I watched Body of Evidence for the first time this

193
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.919
year with the Dafoe and Madonna. Movie's trash, but it's

194
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.559
a lot of fun.

195
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.480
I've never heard anybody say a review that wasn't basically

196
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.679
what you just said. Yeah, so that checks out. Yeah,

197
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.399
speaking of movies, yes, uh nah, I don't want to

198
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.919
talk about movies. So I saw a movie you haven't seen.

199
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:08.559
Yeah you did. Yeah, I'm dying to see it, are you?

200
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.000
Yes?

201
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.759
M because I love Nees mm hm what then.

202
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.080
Why haven't we rented the new Ice Road movie with

203
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:15.559
a rend it?

204
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.440
I thought it was on Netflix, no ship no, but.

205
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.480
It's it's out on super v o D right now.

206
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.000
Oh god, that's sounded old now it's super vid we

207
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.720
used to call it.

208
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.559
But yeah, I thought that's weird. It's a Netflix movie sequel. Well,

209
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.960
I mean license through them, but yeah, but I mean

210
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.320
I think that's the only place you could get or

211
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.600
can you rent it out otherwise?

212
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:41.039
I think their their window on it ended because uh yeah,

213
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.279
because we were all surprised a while back. It came

214
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.799
out like a few months ago. We kept debating renting it.

215
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.440
I've heard it's fine, yea.

216
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.279
The Ice Road is still only on Netflix. The sequel

217
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.080
is uh nowhere.

218
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.720
Ice Road to the Next day.

219
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:03.360
I mean it's actually Ice Road Vengeance. Yeah, and uh

220
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:10.200
where no show. I saw the Naked Gun rebad?

221
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:15.080
The data is that in there? The theme do you

222
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.000
want me to spoil that? I mean, was that a spoiler?

223
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.320
I mean yeah, and it was. It was like where

224
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.639
they use it was really fun genius. Yeah, you can

225
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.200
only buy it for twenty five dollars. The Ice Road

226
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:35.000
Vengeance twenty five dollars. Oh shit, yeap, twenty five dollars purchase.

227
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.200
It was put up by Vertical.

228
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:37.919
Okay, that actually makes sense.

229
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.000
I don't remember. I don't know exactly. I think it's

230
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:41.480
been a couple of months. It's been out, Yeah, it's

231
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.039
at least been a couple of months. But no, so

232
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.799
the Naked Gun, that's one of those that I was

233
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:51.840
not initially very excited about because comedies just haven't been

234
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.919
a big part of the theatrical experience for a while now. Yeah,

235
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.559
and then that's I think it was. The second trailer

236
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.559
that dropped was the one where they review like him

237
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.320
talking to his to Frank, to his dead dad. But

238
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.799
then it shows Paul Walter Houser talking to his dad

239
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.879
and of course and it's ny but then it just

240
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.879
revealed like a line of pops all talking to their

241
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.879
dead dad O. J. Simpson one, which in the movie

242
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.919
the joke is slightly different, but it's very, very funny.

243
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.080
So that's when I was like, Okay, this might this

244
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.039
might be pretty interesting. Yeah, it's eighty five minutes. It

245
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.919
just zooms, And I'll tell you one joke from the

246
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.279
movie that nearly killed me. That's not a big spoiler

247
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.799
because it's my kind of humor. There's a like tech

248
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:38.080
mogul character and he at one point invites Drebin to

249
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.480
like his presentation or whatever, and as he's walking down,

250
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.240
they're all these posters. Yeah right, And the first one

251
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:45.919
is just like him, like with his hand on it,

252
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.120
just like innovate, and then but then it's like the

253
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.440
next one is like him, and then this is like

254
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.919
Conserve and he's riding a lion with like a bow

255
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.960
and arrow. And then the other one is like is

256
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.159
like reinventor whatever. He's like flying through the sky like

257
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.480
a jet pack or something. But then the fourth one

258
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.279
it just says pumpkins and he's just sitting with a

259
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:10.720
pumpkin like on a bail of hay and that but

260
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.559
just killed you. Pumpkins. Yeah, there's no contact, no, no pumpkins.

261
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.639
That one nearly killed because I saw it once at

262
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.519
the drive in, and I saw it again on Friday

263
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.159
or on Monday, and it is so fast. Like when

264
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.000
I saw with Rachel. I literally she like went to

265
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.639
get some French fries and I was like, Rachel, you're

266
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.879
missing your you missed that, yeah, and she was like

267
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.799
what what. I'm like, fuck like cause there's so many

268
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.720
gags happening at once. That reminds me. So.

269
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.519
My father showed me a lot of movies, probably early

270
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:39.919
on that he shouldn't have. One of the which was

271
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.360
Revenge of the Nerds that I grew up with when

272
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.360
I was like six or seven.

273
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.759
Is that why you have problems?

274
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.480
Let's not do that anyway. There is a great bit

275
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.519
in Revenge of the Nerds right when they get to

276
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.399
the college where they're carrying that giant trunk and the

277
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.519
dude is on the golf cart hits them, or I

278
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.840
walks over their picnic. All this stuff. Well, my dad,

279
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.879
no joke, rewound the movie four times because I would

280
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:01.639
I I would do this thing where like when we,

281
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.320
you know, we watch movies together, and like we would

282
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.120
like look at each other and laugh kind of thing.

283
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.960
So every time I would like turn to look at him,

284
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.600
I would miss, like the big gag at the end.

285
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.120
He rewounded four times so that I could see all

286
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.559
of it because I kept turning and looking at me.

287
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.639
He's like, no, you're missing it.

288
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:16.960
Somebody should have told him, it's easier to just give

289
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.639
you a little swat and a hag. That's way easier

290
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.159
than rewinding.

291
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.919
Yeah, And literally it was rewinding because he had recorded

292
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.879
I've told I think I've said this before he recorded

293
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.320
it was We had a VHS we probably still do

294
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.799
at my parents' house that says Revenge of the Nerds

295
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.120
and Red Dawn are on a tape together.

296
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:36.440
Two great tastes that taste great together.

297
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:36.759
Yeah.

298
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.480
Yeah, no, but yeah, I was very I've been a

299
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.200
huge fan of the Leslie Nielsen movies. I mean I

300
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.759
was there when I was there when like for Better

301
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.519
or Worse, when like Spy Hard.

302
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.240
And stan Helsing, and.

303
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.399
He wasn't in stan Helsing.

304
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.840
Yeah he is. He's a huge part of stan Helsing.

305
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.679
No, yes, he is, David, Yes he is David.

306
00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.360
Uh huh.

307
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.519
We've been through this and therapy.

308
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.519
Huh.

309
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:08.200
No. No, but uh no, but like aspired, what was

310
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.519
the wrongfully accused? Wrongfully accused? Those were the two that

311
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.399
like they hit while I was like a kid, well.

312
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.120
Because he did a bunch of them. He also did, like,

313
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.360
you know, mister McGoo around that time he did.

314
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.200
No that was that was like two thousands, was it? No?

315
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:30.000
No way, No, I'm curious, all right, right, but I

316
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.240
bet you wrongfully accused is earlier in the nineties than

317
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:32.600
I realized.

318
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.600
I think it's like ninety five or ninety six, because

319
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.600
the fugitive is what it's mocking, of course, and I

320
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:37.919
think the.

321
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:42.320
Fugitive is ninety eight. Oh wow, okay, man, they were

322
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.639
all Were they all that much later than I spy hard?

323
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:46.919
Probably I was to say that's okay.

324
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.120
Next to the the youngest one.

325
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.320
But but anyway, but I I so, I got a

326
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.919
real kick out of those movies. I saw the Naked

327
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:55.840
gun movies a little bit later when they would be

328
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.279
on cable or whatever. But I thought that this new one.

329
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:04.480
I knew that it was gonna be at least pretty

330
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.960
good because when he's praying to his dad in the beginning,

331
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.200
he literally says, like Dad, I just want to be

332
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.840
like you, except different, you know, my own thing but

333
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.080
like you, but like you. And I was like, that's

334
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.799
really funny because that's yeah, that's like the conundrum of

335
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.759
the remake, recol whatever you want to call it.

336
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.600
Neison does comedy. We've said that before too, but like

337
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.840
Neison does comedy really well. Like his One of my

338
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.200
favorite bits of his still is that fucking cameo and

339
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:33.759
Ted two with the tricks of her kids.

340
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.080
Oh yeah. So I was at the lounge yesterday with

341
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.879
her buddy Nick, and she was talking about how funny

342
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:40.639
that was, and I was like right, and then the

343
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.399
end credit thing and she was like, what end credit thing?

344
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.480
And I was like, no, the best part is at

345
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.039
the end credits when he comes back, and she was like,

346
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.720
holy shit, and he's beat up and just puts.

347
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.799
The box on my count.

348
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:53.440
I say.

349
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.440
Next to that, it probably his appearance on Life's Too Short,

350
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.960
The Warrig Davis Show where he comes in and talked

351
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.200
to Ricky Gervais and Steve Moyer. Yeah, Stephen Moyer, No,

352
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.320
Steven Moyer. It's Stephen who's a.

353
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.919
Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant.

354
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.519
Merchant, thank you. Moyer is a bill from.

355
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.519
True Flood that's nice to hear.

356
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:13.000
Well, anyway, he comes in and wants to do a

357
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.720
bunch of comedy and that that bit's hilarious.

358
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.679
Well, I think it's really interesting to choose Liam Neeson

359
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:24.559
because he and Leslie Nielsen had a very similar no no,

360
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.399
a similar track, and that they both made a pretty

361
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.639
moderately successful career out of being kind of a side

362
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.480
character actor with very few starring roles, like Nissan starred

363
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.120
in dark Man. But dark Man wasn't a huge hit.

364
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.679
Even though I think it's a you know, phenomenal movie,

365
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.080
it wasn't a huge hit. And that is like the

366
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:46.919
one thing I hate when I talk to like people

367
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.480
on the internet and stuff, like when I'm trying to

368
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.679
be friendly and I'll point out, like how the movie

369
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.679
did theatrically but it's such a good way, Like I

370
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.080
didn't it doesn't matter. Well though it does, it does,

371
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.559
but but we're talking about how it was, how it

372
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.879
was received, not how we feel about it. Yeah, because

373
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:02.840
they're I mean, this show is full of movies that

374
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.920
we think are great that had terrible some of them.

375
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.799
I mean, we have some that were big hits, but like, yeah,

376
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.000
many of them are like surprisingly not successful in the

377
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.319
box office, and sometimes the audiences weren't ready, or it

378
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.680
was bad marketing, or you know, or you got it

379
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.400
from a toilet seat, whatever it might be. Yeah, I

380
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.240
got bad box office from a toilet seat. That's what

381
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.240
the doctor told me. But so when you look at

382
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.000
Leslie Nielsen, he was a character actor who was on

383
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.079
TV all the time. Then Airplane happens and people are

384
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:33.920
kind of like, wow, that came out of nowhere for him,

385
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.240
and then he becomes a funny man when he was

386
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.000
like never humorous.

387
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.960
Really was Police Squad before Airplane? Okay?

388
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.200
No, Police Squad was inspired by his performance an Airplane if

389
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.640
I remember correctly, because Airplane was a while back.

390
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.519
Airplane is like nineteen eighty, nineteen eighty on the nose.

391
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.960
Yeah, and then Police Squad I think it was like

392
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:53.160
eighty one or eighty two. Chick.

393
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.319
I'm almost certain those I've been watching it, because I

394
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:57.559
mean there's only six episodes.

395
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.319
Yeah. Well, if you heard the thing too, the thing

396
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:01.920
about that thing about that that they're like the problem

397
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.000
with the shows you had to watch it?

398
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.559
Well, they it was during dinner, the dinner slot, right,

399
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.640
Well though they well.

400
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.119
I mean, I don't know that much, but they said

401
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.759
that the problem was people weren't used to television being

402
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.279
so cumulative. Yeah, like, if you watched every episode it

403
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.599
worked really well. Yeah, but if you tuned in every

404
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.519
so often, it's just you could fall off.

405
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.039
One of the absolute best gags of that show is

406
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.680
the very end. They always freeze, but they don't freeze

407
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.680
the picture.

408
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.880
It's just them freezing.

409
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.079
But then somebody is like not in on the joke,

410
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.720
Like there's a prison that tries to escape, there's a

411
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.720
monkey that tries to escape.

412
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.920
In one episode they do a whole new riff on

413
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.880
that in The Naked Gun. No, it's it's like, it's

414
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.519
the kind of joke I would make about everything freezing.

415
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:46.440
But so but by point so Leslie Nielsen similarly, yeah,

416
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:50.920
or Liam Neeson similarly. Very successful career, yeah, a bit

417
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:54.319
more successful than n Nielsen was originally. Yeah, but then

418
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:58.359
he does Taken and his career now he's an action

419
00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.119
leading man.

420
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.519
Yeah, big time.

421
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.240
And he wasn't that no before really at all. He was.

422
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:06.519
He was you know, he was a drama guy. He

423
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:07.799
was in Lord of the Rings.

424
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:09.640
I think it was he had done action pictures. I

425
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.319
mean like he had been in Next of Ken, but

426
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:16.079
he wasn't the lead wasn't. Yeah, and I mean and

427
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.160
Next of Ken. He also played a redneck next to.

428
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:23.640
Can what those Hazard boys or Redneck? That movie is

429
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.359
the weirdest movie because my mom's from Hazard that that

430
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:27.880
is the funniest.

431
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.720
Like that movie will come to this show at some

432
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.160
point because just a fantastic.

433
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:35.960
For the record, the size of Hazzard Kentucky to be like, hey,

434
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:37.839
hen I got this movie. Let's check it out. And

435
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.400
then we put it on him like they're from my

436
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.480
mom's hometown. That never will happen to you or me?

437
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.920
No, oh fuck, he does. So he does Next of

438
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.920
Ken and then does dark Man back to back.

439
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:51.359
Well and and it must have been tough because when

440
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.640
dark Man kind of it was not a big hit.

441
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:55.680
I don't know if it fully flopped, but it wasn't

442
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.480
a huge hit. It was big enough to get That's

443
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.200
how you knew that the box office wasn't they wanted

444
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.200
because Universal was notorious for and and and I think

445
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.759
it was overall a good thing obviously for sending their

446
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.799
modest theatrical successes straight to the video department. Hence Tremor's Two.

447
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.359
Tremor's three, hence dark Man two and three. But I

448
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.200
I mean, I'm still very fond of those those.

449
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.279
Have you Have you seen Nison's I mean I call

450
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.519
it Niesen's Braveheart. But Rob Roy, oh ye, Rob Roy Santas.

451
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:27.119
I saw it when it came out.

452
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:29.400
That movie just that movie kind of got forgotten. It

453
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.240
feels like and it has like Jessica Lang, Tim Roth,

454
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.079
John Hurt.

455
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.799
I think it's because it really came off as like

456
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.799
a Robin Hood knockoff.

457
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.720
Yeah, I mean there is that too, Yeah.

458
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.079
But I mean not that it wasn't good, you know,

459
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.599
again again stating a a objective reality of a movie

460
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.599
like that, the box office wasn't whatever. Well, it's not

461
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.480
about it's not a judgment, you feel like.

462
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:51.559
Also a lot of people were surprised and forget that

463
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.480
Neison kind of got his foot in comedy with the

464
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.200
Million Waist Dye in the West.

465
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:01.599
Well, yes, what was was that before Ted? Well that

466
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.519
was before Ted two? Because Ted two is because they

467
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.359
had made jokes with Liam Neeson a lot and a

468
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:07.799
lot of stuff.

469
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.559
MacFarlane thinks Ted two is twenty fifteen. A Million Waist

470
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:12.160
Dye in the West is twenty fourteen.

471
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:12.799
Wow.

472
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:14.799
So it's a year before but yeah, I mean before that,

473
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.279
he doesn't really do many comedy I mean him and

474
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.119
leap of faith with Steve Martin. He's not He's not

475
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:19.880
in a funny role.

476
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.759
No, no, So my point is that he went from

477
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.079
a pretty successful famous actor to a leading man in

478
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.799
a genre that he really was never considered a big

479
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.240
part of. Yeah, and that's exactly what happened to Leslie

480
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.960
Nielsen as well. He became the number one highest paid

481
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.880
comedic actor in the world, and he had never considered

482
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:40.799
himself even funny, yeah initially.

483
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:41.799
Yeah.

484
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.680
And if you get a chance that hats you've seen

485
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.759
the Hats Off Entertainment documentary about Leslie Nielsen's fantastic It's

486
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:50.119
excellent and it really runs down how the best thing

487
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.839
about that story is that he never was annoyed by it, Yeah,

488
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:55.440
just because he spent his whole life trying to be

489
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.960
a serious actor. He didn't. He was like, once he

490
00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.920
realized he was this comedy guy, he was like, this,

491
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.119
this is an incredible gift. I'm so fortunate. Like I'll

492
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.960
wake up every day and I go, this is awesome. Yeah,

493
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.000
and that makes me happy. So anyway, because actors. You

494
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.480
know they're a nightmare. Yep, they can be he yes,

495
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:14.920
well you know you're obsessed with yourself, yeah, you have,

496
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.119
but you have to be because you're your own stock

497
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.880
in trade. Yeah, you know, you are your brand, you

498
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.400
are your product. Yeah, so you do have to obsess

499
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.799
over yourself at least a little bit, unless you're Brian Denny.

500
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.240
So character actors who is a fuck up? We get fat.

501
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.519
It's great, solid.

502
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.640
But so you saw Naked Gun and last night I

503
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.359
saw Freaky Your Friday with my mom and my sister,

504
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:36.160
and I've.

505
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:37.039
That's a long title.

506
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.880
I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you that movie

507
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.559
was everything I could have hoped it was for a

508
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:44.000
sequel coming twenty years later.

509
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.440
It's what I wish Beetle Juice Beetle Juice was. You

510
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.440
wish that Beetle Juice Beetle Juice had been a sequel

511
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:51.200
to Freaky Friday.

512
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.640
Exactly, That's exactly what I wish.

513
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.240
Yes, Well, here's the question, though, this will tell us

514
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.240
a Freak of Your Friday is actually good? Okay, how

515
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.240
do they deal with Jeffrey Jones's character? They just have

516
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:04.920
like drawings of him everywhere and stuff.

517
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.720
So I will say Freaky Friday basically brought back every

518
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:10.039
single character.

519
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.559
Which is impressive for a mom and pop studio like Disney,

520
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.039
like Disnel, but Tobolowski's back.

521
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.519
You've got the Chinese restaurant, the mom and the and

522
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.519
the mom and her daughter are back. You've got Anna's

523
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.440
bandmates are back, like Pink Slip's actually kind of a

524
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.720
big part of the story. Oh and they actually hit

525
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.519
big and like it. We're actually like musicians, like well

526
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.160
known musicians that sold out arenas.

527
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.279
Wow.

528
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.000
Yeah, no, it's it's a lot of fun. The story is,

529
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:36.839
it's twenty two years later and Anna is now a

530
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.640
single mom. She ends up meeting a guy that ends

531
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.920
up being the father of a girl that her daughter

532
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.599
is fighting with at school, so they end up hitting

533
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:49.599
it off. So the two are combat a already because

534
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:51.400
they are already enemies at school. But then their parents

535
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.559
start dating, and then six months goes by and their

536
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:57.000
parents are engaged and getting ready to get married. So

537
00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:59.960
one thing leads to another and all four of them,

538
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.640
Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, her daughter, and the stepdaughter

539
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:05.880
all end up swapping bodies. So you've got the two

540
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:07.839
young ones that go into the older bodies and the

541
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:09.279
older go into the younger bodies.

542
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:10.799
Is the old Chinese lady it's her fault.

543
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.839
No, they don't even tell it's not. No, there's a

544
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.440
whole there's a whole fortune teller aspect.

545
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.039
So it's like they went big yeah. I mean like

546
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.400
the movie big yeah. So they literally did the sequel

547
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.680
thing where like it's double now yeah okay, okay, but

548
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.200
I mean, yeah, Jake's back in it.

549
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.559
I mean it's it's a lot of fun, it has

550
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.039
a lot of heart to it, and overall the ending

551
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.720
is just really really sweet. They kind of goes back

552
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:38.000
to the whole I don't want to spoil too much,

553
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:39.400
but like kind of goes back to the whole concert

554
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.640
performance thing again, so they kind of do repeat some

555
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.240
things from the first one. But overall, Freaky r Friday

556
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:46.039
gets a big thumbs up for me. I had a

557
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.200
absolute blast with that. Jamie Lee Curtis is just living

558
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.079
her best life after winning that Oscar.

559
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.519
I mean, wouldn't you.

560
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.759
Yeah, she's doing I mean it feels like she's doing

561
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:55.640
roles that she wants to do, and it feels like

562
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:57.160
for a while there she wasn't doing a lot of

563
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:58.079
projects she wanted to.

564
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:00.920
Really, I felt like she just kind of wasn't doing much.

565
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:02.920
I mean, that's just kind of taking a break. Yeah,

566
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:05.799
you know because my Halloween really like shot her in

567
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:06.240
the sky.

568
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:07.720
My sister was telling me it was hard. It was

569
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:09.599
it was crazy too because she had just seen her

570
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.720
in The Bear recently. Oh yeah, yeah, so it was

571
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.559
crazy to see her in this versus like her character

572
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:15.079
in The Bear.

573
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.880
My mom spoiled that Jamie Lee was in The Bear.

574
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:20.160
My mom just texted me and what I love that

575
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:22.079
Jamie Lee is it? She just loves Jamie Lee. She

576
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.400
always has. She got excited. I was like, I guess

577
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:26.880
she plays his mom and now I'm doing it to anybody.

578
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:28.319
But you know what, it's been out for months. Fuck you,

579
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.599
that's fine. Well, I mean that was the first season though,

580
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.279
that and that's or the second.

581
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.079
Second one of them. It's an alley of the second season.

582
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.039
So it's my point because that fucking episodes pack with

583
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:37.680
so many people.

584
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:42.960
What thought was funny to question you, But my challenge you.

585
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:44.200
It's always funny to see you action.

586
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:46.400
But yeah, for your Friday one hundred percent, go see it.

587
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.400
If you're a fan of the first one. I hope

588
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.319
it does well too because of it. So far, it's

589
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.160
got a seven point one on IMDb. No idea of

590
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:53.680
the box office, but it is getting pretty deep.

591
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:55.160
Well it's only been out, I mean as of the

592
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.640
recording of this is about for a day or two.

593
00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.039
Well me Mews and Friday, it's all that they have.

594
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.160
So our showing yesterday we went to a five fifteen

595
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.039
showing and I mean it was pretty packed.

596
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.519
It wasn't sold out, but it was pretty packed on

597
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:10.160
a Friday. That's pretty good.

598
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.599
And I got a fucking We went to the Synopolis

599
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.880
Synopolis and I got the hot dog in popcorn combo.

600
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:18.359
Didn't realize it was a foot long. So they bring

601
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.359
they bring the food to me.

602
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.519
And were you were you like you were like, I

603
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.920
wonder how big that hot dog was gonna be? And

604
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:30.039
then you hear the doors here, dun dud. They just

605
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:35.720
walk up there like your hot dog, Piggy ziggy, piggy

606
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.519
so and and with with the tax it was only

607
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.599
like one hundred and seventy four dollars. Yeah for the

608
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.039
hot dog.

609
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:44.720
I gotta say, I do love those seats of Synopolis.

610
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.240
Man, those nice. Yeah. I don't even remember them. They go.

611
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.319
They're the kind that were climbed deep, so it's like

612
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:51.240
you kind of sit back deep and then like.

613
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:55.559
The ones at the Green, yes, yeah, the Green everything. Yeah,

614
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.920
they have the ones which which I call the pocket

615
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:02.400
emptier because they will because yeah, because at our regular theater,

616
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:04.920
it's just a normal you just recline, but at some

617
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.359
of these theaters, yeah, you recline and you sink. And

618
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:09.799
literally when I go to the Green where they have those,

619
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:11.200
the first thing I do when I sit down and

620
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:12.680
just take everything out of my pockets and put it

621
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.519
in the cup holder because I have I've like caught

622
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.759
my phone falling out of my pants. Yeah, so many

623
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.279
times at that theater. So and and they're also the

624
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.960
ones that will put you to sleep the heart, oh yeah,

625
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.960
because they're like it's like those seats are just like

626
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:28.039
let me just hold you, little bird, let me just

627
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.400
hold you. You're like okay. So luckily, I mean I

628
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:34.640
don't go there very much. I never go to Sinopolis.

629
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.000
I forget it's there and it's not far from me.

630
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.640
Literally, I was thinking, like the last one I was there,

631
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.599
I think it was when you and I.

632
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.960
Saw the Predator. Yeah, the Predator yeah, because.

633
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.240
I think other than that, the ones might've been there

634
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.720
is when I went to see Bad Times at the

635
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.440
El Royale for a Bachelor part of the startup a Bachelor.

636
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:49.319
Oh I remember that.

637
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:51.799
Yep, that was fun. That was when the video game

638
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.440
bar was still down there, and that video game bar

639
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:55.279
closed a couple of years ago.

640
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:57.440
I mean, who wants to watch video games get drunk?

641
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:02.359
I've would fair enough.

642
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.039
But uh, and if we did, we talk about we

643
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:04.720
talked about together.

644
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.960
Yeah, we talked about the other yep.

645
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.480
So because we saw that, yep together. So and next

646
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:11.519
week we'll be talking about weapons. Yes, we willing to

647
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.119
go see weapons, which I'm amped.

648
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.000
Then I'm probably gonna go see I might see Nigga

649
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:20.440
Gun tomorrow. We'll see what happens. What's I want to

650
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:24.519
go see to the drive in because I want to see.

651
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:26.480
I want to see because I'm curious, but I'm not like,

652
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:28.880
I'm not in a big hurt. I'm curious about Fantastic

653
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:31.160
four because I've heard so many mixed reviews on it.

654
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.680
Now I see the problem for me is that the

655
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.039
good reviews just I'm not I was already not that

656
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.440
excited same, so it's not I mean, like if I

657
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.599
went wanted to go to the theater and there's nothing

658
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:43.680
I hadn't seen, I see it. It's just I've heard.

659
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.720
The number one thing I've heard, and you know, if

660
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:47.240
I if I'm wrong about this, feel feed to right

661
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.759
into the show. But the number one thing I've heard

662
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:51.480
is the approach of of where they put it in time,

663
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.319
timeline wise, is really odd.

664
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.960
It's in the fifties. Yeah, yeah, because it's starting at all. Yeah,

665
00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:58.960
they said, they said, it's just an odd choice. I

666
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.039
think that was the timeline the original I mean, because

667
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.440
it was literally started in the fifties if I remember correctly. Yeah,

668
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:06.480
so yeah, I mean, you know, comic book movies are

669
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.279
fine or whatever. Yeah, I hadn't seen one in a

670
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:08.640
long time.

671
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:10.480
So, I mean, we're talking about one today on the show.

672
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:15.000
Technically, no, and we're talking about one of the granddaddy

673
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:21.440
of comic book movies because because bat Burton's Batman is

674
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:24.039
actually not that far apart. Yeah in this one.

675
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:26.400
No, you're not, You're not wrong. Well, because Batman Robin

676
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.599
was ninety seven and The Blade is ninety eight, and

677
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.680
literally Batman Robin kind of killed it for a little bit, unfortunately,

678
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.960
it's it's can't be fun now.

679
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.039
Yeah, people forget that. That movie really pissed a lot

680
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:40.640
of people. And I want my groan for the for

681
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.799
the Rondred. It was not because I don't like Burton's Batman.

682
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.680
There's very opposite of that, you know, but it was.

683
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.240
It's because I'm, you know, pointing out things like, hey,

684
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.119
when you remember a movie from nineteen ninety eight, that's

685
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:52.799
like in nineteen eight, somebody remembering way from nineteen seventy eight. Yeah,

686
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.960
like where's my thyroid medicine?

687
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.519
Ninety seven is a bad year for superhero movies because

688
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.200
you have two big ones that come out that were

689
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:02.200
expected to do well and they didn't, which is Batman

690
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.359
and Robin and Spawn.

691
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.079
Yeah s b Spawn, which, in.

692
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:09.880
All honesty, if you think about it, Spawn kind of

693
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:12.640
has more of a in tow line with Blade for

694
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.400
the R ratedness of it, even though I think it

695
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.480
was released as PG thirteen because you got spond was

696
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.599
PG thirteen, Bam was GG thirteen in theaters. You could

697
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:21.400
get the unrated on VHS when it came out or DVD.

698
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:24.119
Because Spawn Spawn was nasty.

699
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:25.319
Spawn's got the nasty moments.

700
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.480
Oh yeah, Well, I watched the cartoon series on HBO

701
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:30.920
and that was freaking brutal.

702
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.319
Oh yeah, the first episode about the ice cream with

703
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.240
the ice cream man that was the molester and the

704
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:38.559
child killer. That fucking yeah, that show is brutal.

705
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:40.759
It looks like Spawn was rated R. Oh no PG

706
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.799
three man Google sucked. Gemini is just the worst.

707
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.640
But yeah, we are talking about Blade from nineteen ninety

708
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:54.079
eight two hours, rated R for strong pervasive vampire violence

709
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.279
and gore language and brief.

710
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.160
Sexual DAA said vampire violence.

711
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:00.519
Yeah, they said vampire viol.

712
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:03.799
I mean, you know, I don't put anything past those people. Dude.

713
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.720
A skateboard kid too is a rated PG for an

714
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:09.440
adolescent punch in the nose.

715
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.319
I wish that was my band in high school. Adolescent. Yeah,

716
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:17.920
that's a good one.

717
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.480
IVVY synopsis says a half vampire, half mortal man becomes

718
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:24.599
a protector of the mortal race while slaying evil vampires.

719
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.200
Oh my synopsis, Blade, half vampire, half man, along with

720
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:31.039
this human mentor Whistler, protect the city as vampire hunters.

721
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:33.200
You just had to work Whistler in there. The movie

722
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:36.400
is not called Blade and Whistler. It's called Blade Love Whistler.

723
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.960
Taglines of this episode or for this movie include the

724
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:43.839
power of an immortal, the soul of a human, the

725
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:49.440
heart of a hero, a questionable haircut against an army

726
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.519
of immortals. A warrior must draw first blood, or actually

727
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:54.920
one warrior mustro fers.

728
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:55.559
That's a little bit better.

729
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.000
Yeah, Vampire Hunter.

730
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:02.759
I mean that's the one Blade vampire hunt. But nobody

731
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:06.359
knew who Blade was, so honestly, like, that's a very

732
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:11.759
helpful tagline. Sometimes it takes one to kill one. That's

733
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:16.839
a good tagline. Have you given blood lately? That's pretty funny.

734
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.440
And finally, part man, part vampire, all hero. I don't

735
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:26.279
think that was an official tagline. That's just robocopy. He's

736
00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:30.000
a vampire, but he's a vampire. I mean, since that

737
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.000
it's kind of Blade, I mean I'm not denying that. Yeah,

738
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.839
I mean, where is that part where he shoots the

739
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:36.759
vampire in the dick?

740
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.519
I mean he does shoot several vampires in the dick.

741
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.480
Actually a blade currently rentable on private fan Dango. I

742
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.039
will tell you that Hen and I and a couple

743
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:48.920
of our buddies last night watched the beautiful Warner Brothers

744
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:50.440
four K that they put out. I think it was

745
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.440
like about four years ago. At this point looks phenomenal.

746
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:57.119
Dolby atmost really makes you feel like you're there smelling

747
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.680
axe body spray and listening to techno music.

748
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.319
And blood rain, Oh my god, the Fluter. So the

749
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:04.759
director on this film is Stephen Norington. He gets his

750
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.440
start directing nineteen ninety four's Death Machine.

751
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.240
Oh Yeah, then goes.

752
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:10.759
On to do Blade in ninety eight, so four years

753
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.359
after that, then goes on to direct The Last Minute

754
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.920
in two thousand and one, and then unfortunately, in two

755
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:18.880
thousand and three he directs The Leave Extraordinary Gentleman, And

756
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:21.279
so ends Stephen Norrington's directing career.

757
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.160
The way you flinched, I thought you were gonna say

758
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.960
the Golden Compass. I was like, damn.

759
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.519
Now that's not to say he did not stop working

760
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:31.599
in films. He does do special effects. So he did

761
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:34.039
special effects for Young Charlock Holmes in eighty five, did

762
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.839
special effects on Aliens in eighty six, The Storyteller, Hardware

763
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.200
Split Second in nineteen ninety two, the rugger Hower movie,

764
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:44.480
and he did Hardware Yes, Alien three in ninety two,

765
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.680
extras just the Beginning in two thousand and four, and

766
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.799
as of most recently. En by recently, I mean a

767
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:50.920
decade ago, Harbinger Down in twenty fifteen.

768
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:55.319
Man, I wanted, I was so maybe maybe it was

769
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.440
it was the amping Harbinger Down just shifted down mean

770
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:03.119
to Harbinger Down. But I remember there were so many

771
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:06.480
interviews and promo going on for Harbinger Down. Yeah, and

772
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:08.400
I wanted, I want it was so excited. It was fine.

773
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.400
I've so like. It feels like there was like several

774
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:14.480
movies that unfortunately had h titles that sounded like they

775
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.639
were going to be better than they were, and those

776
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:22.159
included Harbinger Down, the Hatred, Hypothermia. Oh, I like Hypothermia fine,

777
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.559
but the other one Harpoon with Gunner Hanson, which I

778
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.199
Harpoon looked like it was gonna be fun and it's

779
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:28.719
not bad.

780
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:33.599
But I mean, well, I think Harbinger Down had they

781
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:36.880
fell for a trapping that I think is is really silly,

782
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.679
which is they made a huge deal out of the

783
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:44.039
fact that they didn't use CGI. Yeah, and I just

784
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:45.519
don't care who put that out.

785
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.159
Was that? I think, yeah, yeah, it might have been yeah,

786
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:51.199
because I feel like I watched Harbinger Down or no,

787
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.760
I watched Hypothermia and Blood Glacier back to back, and

788
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:55.320
that was a pretty disappointing movie.

789
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:55.639
Right.

790
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.840
Hypothermia does have some fun things in it, though, I

791
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.320
will say that so our writer on the film is

792
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:02.280
also David S.

793
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:02.679
Goyer.

794
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:05.480
He gets to start in nineteen ninety writing the Jean

795
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:07.320

No?

808

I think it might be made for TV. I can't remember.

809
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.960

810

980
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.360
like one of my all time favorites, which one Dwarfun Golf.

981
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:50.079
Oh my god, fucking time. How did you think that

982
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:51.800
I was gonna see you get away with me not

983
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.800
doing that to you? Yeah, especially every time we watch

00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:58.079
any movie Steven Stephen Dworf is in, I make some

985
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.599
reference to him being Dwarf from Door Fun Golf.

986
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:02.039

watched for the first time recently, which is his second role.

993
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:17.559
Gene Hackman plays a cop in that movie, which is

994
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.519
why I ended up watching it. Cisco Pike is the

995
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:24.280
story of Christostofferson as a musician trying to basically appease

996
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:26.119
this cop that had like had dirt on him, which

997
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:29.079

1033
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:16.599
that he did so much.

1034
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:19.599
Also in our cast, we have Donald Log, We've got

1035
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:21.519
h my god, this is a loaded cast.

1036
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:24.519
We got Donald Log, We've got well. You and I

1037
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.440
are both fans of Donald Logue. Yeah, So the first

1038
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:30.280
time I noticed Donald Logue was on Grounded for Life,

1039
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:32.400
that was like as where I like understood, like, oh,

1040
00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:36.559
here's an actor. And then I remember, like, what rewatched Blade? Yeah,

1041
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:38.880
that's the dad, And then I realized he had a

1042
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:41.519
lot of interesting roles before that.

1043
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:45.280
If I remember correctly, he is the meth head gun

1044
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:47.719
runner at the beginning of Metro with Eddie Murphy.

1045
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.159
I think you're right. Yeah, well, well, Grounded for Life

1046
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:53.480
had a weird they cast like all movie character actors.

1047
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:56.199
Well, they also like couldn't figure out how many kids

1048
00:46:56.239 --> 00:46:58.119
they wanted the show because at one point, the one

1049
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.000
brother just disappears for an entire.

1050
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:04.639
Oh yeah, Grounded for Life is that's a that's that

1051
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:08.559
was like peak like it was a self aware ish sitcom.

1052
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:10.760
I really I always loved that one, but like, yeah,

1053
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:14.639
I just I just remember I would see cast members

1054
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:17.559
from Grounded for Life in the weirdest places because they

1055
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:22.360
really seemed to pick oddball film character actors. To be

1056
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.360
all the leads. So you know, I would just be

1057
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:28.119
like watching some like really violent mafia movie and like, hey,

1058
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:29.719
it's the uncle from Grounded for Life.

1059
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:34.639
Kevin. What is it Kevin? Oh? Shit? Hell? Was his

1060
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.119
name Kevin O'Connor.

1061
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:37.920
No, I'm sure, I'm not sure about that.

1062
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:38.480
I can't remember.

1063
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:41.920
But he's like a softened Michael Shannon. Yeah, he's like

1064
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.480
he's like Michael Shannon like that, you know, draft dodged

1065
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:45.920
or something.

1066
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:49.360
He's he's appears briefly in True Romance because we're watching

1067
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:49.920
that recently.

1068
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:52.440
Oh yeah, he was a tough stuff. He still listen.

1069
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.920
So what was your first time watching Blade? Oh? Man,

1070
00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:59.440
that was definitely a VHS blockbuster rental. Everybody was talking

1071
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:01.639
about it when came out. It was a very big deal.

1072
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:06.400
It was extremely influential. It caused everything to be, for

1073
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:12.159
a hot minute, very slick and painted in techno music. Yeah,

1074
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:16.760
so much so that I made tons of references to

1075
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:19.159
Blade in my first feature film, Marty Jenkins and the

1076
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:21.480
Vampire Bitches You did. There's a whole part where he

1077
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:23.639
talks about like you got to have your steak, your

1078
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:27.079
cross and your techno music. Vampires hate techno music, So

1079
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:29.440
that was one one of them, and the other one

1080
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.199
was like the guy who who makes potions for um,

1081
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:35.079
his name was Hummer, Yeah, instead of Whistler because very

1082
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:38.320
clever guy. That's me, a very clever guy. But that's

1083
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:42.199
but that tells you just how influential it was because

1084
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:45.039
I was much more because I was a little movie nerd,

1085
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.559
so I was much more into like Fright Night and

1086
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.440
some of the earlier vampire movies. Yeah, and but Blade

1087
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:57.119
made a huge, you know impact, being this big, massive

1088
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.679
action blockbuster with VAMPI.

1089
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.880
Well in the nineties are really weird for vampire movies

1090
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:04.800
because they're kind of all over the place because you've

1091
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.239
got things like Subspecies, You've got things like Buffy the

1092
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:11.400
Vampire Slayer, Innocent Blood, Interviewed the Vampire, John Carpenter's Vampires.

1093
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.719
They're kind of a little bit like you got a

1094
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:16.000
bunch of period pieces too, because Promp servers Dracula.

1095
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:18.159
Yeah, it's gonna say, I mean, I feel like the

1096
00:49:18.159 --> 00:49:21.519
the biggest vampire movies of that period as far as influence,

1097
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:25.159
where Brown Stoker's Dracula, Interview the Vampire, and Blade, Yeah,

1098
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:28.480
they all made a huge impact on how people understand vampires.

1099
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.559
But you gotta remember people like to talk about how

1100
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:33.400
like hot vampires got with Twilight, But I mean in

1101
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:35.599
the nineties we had Forever Night, which was literally like

1102
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:39.800
a vampire detective show that I adore. Yeah, big thanks

1103
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:42.519
to my buddy and listener Craig Cohen for sending me

1104
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:44.400
all three seasons on DVD.

1105
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.800
Not to mention, you also have one of my personal

1106
00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:49.559
favorite movies, Night Hunter, with I think is that? Is

1107
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:53.280
that the one with uh oh uh the guy that

1108
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:55.639
played the voice of New York Ninja in the movie

1109
00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:57.480
I Can't Done the Dragon Wilson.

1110
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.960
Oh yeah, yeah, it has Maria four y. Yes, that

1111
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:03.000
movie's actually really silly fun.

1112
00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:06.679
Was that post Blade or pre that had to be poor?

1113
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:10.320
Yeah, that had to have been like ninety five somewhere. No,

1114
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:12.639
you know, maybe it was post Blade, just say.

1115
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:13.960
I think it was, but I could be wrong, But

1116
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:15.719
I mean, yeah, just like even looking over this list

1117
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:16.840
from dust Till Dawn.

1118
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.599
Ninety six ninety six from dust Till Don's another one

1119
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:20.519
that was very influential.

1120
00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:23.320
Yeah, I mean from dust Till Dawn, Vampire and Brooklyn

1121
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:27.199
not really influential, but Broardella Blood Death by Temptation Tracula

1122
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:28.159
Dead and Loving.

1123
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:31.159
It Well, Dracula Dead and Loving It is is the

1124
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:33.519
big one tomension because that suggests that people were thinking

1125
00:50:33.559 --> 00:50:36.239
about vampires a lot. Yeah, spoof got made. Oh yeah,

1126
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:39.239
because then hence stan Helsing brought up.

1127
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:41.639
Yes I did, but I but I mean, yeah, it's

1128
00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:44.639
really interesting because yeah, it's just like there they didn't

1129
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:48.239
know really what vampires were sticking, but we were definitely

1130
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:50.559
into them because we were pumping out movies left and right.

1131
00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:53.840
Well, I mean they were vampires that looked like they

1132
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:56.199
hang out at the mall there. Yes, that was I

1133
00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:57.679
mean no, but I mean really it was like because

1134
00:50:57.719 --> 00:50:59.480
it was really I think that had more to do

1135
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:01.480
with goth call yeah than anything.

1136
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:02.119
Do you remember that?

1137
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:04.480
Uh there was a commercial that was around around that

1138
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:05.119
time that.

1139
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:07.400
Was a bunch of kids on the beach and then

1140
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.199
one was trying to find his pair of sunglasses. The

1141
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:11.199
sun came up and toasted him and it was just like,

1142
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.480
looks like somebody forgot their ray Band sunglasses.

1143
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:17.239
I remember that. Yeah, and there are a bunch of vampires. Yeah, yeah,

1144
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:19.960
the maam you have really hateful opinions about ray Band.

1145
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:22.960
What you're like, there were a handsunglis. There are a

1146
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.280
bunch of vampires. They sucked the life out of everything.

1147
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:27.639
Horrible business practices.

1148
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:30.679
But yeah, also I think it's it's interesting to think

1149
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:32.039
about this time too, because this is what I was

1150
00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:33.360
thinking about when I was thinking about the first time

1151
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:36.480
watching it. This is also the time still where movies

1152
00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.400
and theaters it still takes about like what a year

1153
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:39.599
for it to hit home video?

1154
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:40.679
Yeah, year year and a half.

1155
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:43.400
Yeah, Because I remember how I saw Blade was I

1156
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:47.599
had gone to my buddy's house and his older brother

1157
00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:50.079
and their friends were upstairs watching Blade. Because I remember

1158
00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:52.760
I was downstairs and like I saw the empty BHS

1159
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:54.000
case for it, and I was like, oh shit, what's

1160
00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:57.119
David doing, Like, oh, they're upstairs watching Blade? So Taylor

1161
00:51:57.119 --> 00:51:59.159
and I snuck in and watched like the first opening

1162
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.719
like five minutes, and that was like all I saw

1163
00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:03.599
for a couple of years. I didn't see it like

1164
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:05.159
till after like two thousand.

1165
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:07.719
And it inspired your hot topic. Joy.

1166
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:10.119
Pretty sure I saw it on TV for the first time,

1167
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:14.760
like actually as a full movie, and then eventually thanks

1168
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:16.360
to my good friends that around about books like that

1169
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:19.039
was one of the first like five like R rated

1170
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:21.559
vhs tapes that I bought myself, so like that was

1171
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:24.519
like the cool club because I still, like to this day,

1172
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:27.119
remember the back of that VHS box because you've got

1173
00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:29.639
Karen on the back and then you've got like Blade

1174
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:33.920
and Silhouette and like like I remember the like verbatim

1175
00:52:33.960 --> 00:52:36.159
with that back and then it looks like sure, sure,

1176
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:37.800
well I mean it And it was.

1177
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:40.119
It really was. It was a fun movie. It was

1178
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.000
a solid action. Oh yeah, Snipes is at his best,

1179
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:47.000
even though after rewatching it, I forgot how cheesy he's cheesy.

1180
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:50.719
He is. He's really silly. But I mean it works.

1181
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:53.000
It's a comic book movie. It's a comic book movie.

1182
00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:54.639
It like, and like we said at beginning of the show,

1183
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:56.920
it also gave superheroes again that kind of shot in

1184
00:52:56.920 --> 00:52:57.800
the arm it needed.

1185
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:00.280
Yeah, I didn't know Blade was a you know, a

1186
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.000
quote unquote superhero till years after I'd seen the movie. Yeah.

1187
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:06.239
Now I'm curious. What were the superhero movies after?

1188
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:09.519
Real quick in a second, I mean there were, well,

1189
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:15.400
we had blank Man before that. God, I love blank Man. Hey,

1190
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:17.119
look I'm a crime fighter.

1191
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:18.800
Blank Man will come to the show at some.

1192
00:53:18.719 --> 00:53:19.599
Point, Yes, it will.

1193
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:22.960
Let's see two thousand superhero movies, because spider Man is

1194
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.000
I want to say one, and.

1195
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:27.039
Spider Man was early in the two thousands, I believe

1196
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:30.000
because that and that was a huge deal. Yeah, two

1197
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:30.400
thousand and.

1198
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:34.840
Two, Super two two, So let's see Watchman. It's a

1199
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:35.360
little later.

1200
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:37.039
Yeah that was four or five.

1201
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:39.440
Yeah, so, I mean, yeah, it was. It was. It

1202
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:41.599
was not only a superhero movie. It was a horror film.

1203
00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:43.599
It was an action movie. I mean it hit a

1204
00:53:43.639 --> 00:53:45.440
lot of things for if you were a kid a

1205
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:47.360
team at that point, this is exactly what you wanted

1206
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:47.719
to watch.

1207
00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:51.639
Well, correct me if I'm wrong. That was really the

1208
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:56.280
beginning of the Sony superhero movie which we had Fantastic

1209
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:58.599
four movie, Spider Man movies, you know, all that stuff.

1210
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:01.559
That was the beginning of that cycle. I don't know that.

1211
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:05.480
I don't know that it it resurged all the superhero

1212
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:08.039
franchises so much as just well, but Marvel was really

1213
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:09.239
popping for a minute.

1214
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:10.960
And I think, honestly, it's it's worth mentioning it. And

1215
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:13.679
I mentioned this off Mike. This is a very hard

1216
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:17.599
R horror movie, hard R Superhero.

1217
00:54:18.800 --> 00:54:19.239
Wow.

1218
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.599
The R is used very well.

1219
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:28.159
Wow rating Yes is actually like freaking out.

1220
00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:30.559
But no, I mean this is rated R and it's

1221
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:31.480
a hard R.

1222
00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:34.239
Yeah. I oh no, it's it's a very violent, very

1223
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:34.880
violent movie.

1224
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.360
Anytime Deacon Frost says the word fuck, he just has

1225
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:41.159
a way of saying it that is just in your face, like, hey,

1226
00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:41.920
we're doing this.

1227
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:44.519
Oh yeah, And all of the violence did for the

1228
00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:47.559
most part, didn't hold up as far as like gruesome. Well,

1229
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:48.960
I mean, because there's plentiful.

1230
00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:51.920
It's a you got a vampires turning into ash really quickly,

1231
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:53.960
but like more of the blood and gore comes from

1232
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:55.360
the attacking humans than anything.

1233
00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:58.039
Yeah, well it so they start exploding.

1234
00:54:57.639 --> 00:54:58.480
Slicing appendages.

1235
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:00.079
Yeah, and so they start exploding.

1236
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:03.039
Yeah, there's that. But we we open in nineteen sixty

1237
00:55:03.039 --> 00:55:05.559
seven with the pregnant woman is attacked by a vampire,

1238
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.199
which is revealed to be Blade's mom. She does not survive,

1239
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:10.920
but Blade does and he is essentially born a vampire,

1240
00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:16.199
well sort of. He's half half vampire, half vampire, half

1241
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:19.119
man aka a day walker. He is a vampire. He

1242
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.440
has all of their strength and abilities, none of their weaknesses,

1243
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:26.199
which that's an awesome No, he has their weakness, which

1244
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.639
one first, Oh, well that's I mean, yeah, there's that.

1245
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:33.159
That's a big weakness killing is okay, I mean there's that. Yes.

1246
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:35.840
One of the things I liked in some of these

1247
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:38.559
over the years, some of these movies where they kind

1248
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:41.000
of explore the idea of like a vampire culture in

1249
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:43.079
a world where like vampires are a part of it

1250
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:45.440
is I always like I've noticed. I wish I could

1251
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:46.800
think of an exact example, but there have been several

1252
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:48.280
movies where I thought it was really interesting that like

1253
00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:51.840
the human characters would like take pride in getting old

1254
00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:54.760
and dying. Yeah, because it was differentiator. It's like I

1255
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:57.519
get to get old and die, you know, that's a

1256
00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:00.400
human thing. They don't do that, And I thought that

1257
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.960
was interesting just because I think that is I think

1258
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:06.480
if we were fighting vampires as a normal part of life,

1259
00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:08.920
we would value things that, you know, we have that

1260
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:11.039
get taken away when you become a vampire, even things

1261
00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:13.519
that generally we don't love and are afraid of, like

1262
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:16.679
on Mortality. But I also love like Interview the Vampire

1263
00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:19.000
was one of those first vampire movies I saw where

1264
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:24.000
it really explored the curse of immortality. Yes, which I

1265
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:26.840
you know, I'm kind of on board a little bit

1266
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:28.840
of the idea of like, yeah, now just imagine, like

1267
00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:33.079
everybody dies unless you find someone you love so you

1268
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:33.960
curse them to I.

1269
00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:35.559
Mean, vampires in the Green Mile. Do you have a

1270
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:36.199
lot in common?

1271
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:39.119
Yeah, yeah, I'm so tired. Boss.

1272
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:42.960
Do you think though, that the opening is still what

1273
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:46.360
this movie is one hundredercent remembered for. Yes, okay, you know,

1274
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:48.440
because well I figured we're on the same page.

1275
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:53.000
All the opening of Blade is the the blood rave scene.

1276
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:57.440
All it is is like what happens when you distill

1277
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:02.880
Blade to one scene. Yeah, it's super goth, techno music,

1278
00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:07.920
opulence of blood spraying everywhere. It's it's so two thousands.

1279
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:09.480
I love the way it plays out because you know,

1280
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:12.800
we open with we open with you know, Blade, Blade's origin,

1281
00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:14.400
which is his mom and everything. But then we cut

1282
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:15.960
to two people in a car, which one of his

1283
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:18.840
Tracy lords and one is what was his name in

1284
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:19.280
the Shield?

1285
00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:19.920
Lem Lem?

1286
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:23.639
Yeah, Lem in the Shield, and they're driving to a

1287
00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:27.480
slaughterhouse or yeah it's a slaughterhouse, and they end up

1288
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:29.880
end up going into this secret rave in the back

1289
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:32.559
of the slaughterhouse that is turning into a blood rave

1290
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:35.559
because the dude starts going in there. Tracy Lords leaves

1291
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:37.679
him to go dance with this one chick. He's holding

1292
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:39.519
her jacket and just throws it to the side, which

1293
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:42.880
I forgot about. Yeah, but then yeah, he slowly begins

1294
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:44.440
to realize that she wants nothing to do with him

1295
00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:46.719
all of a sudden. But also blood just starts hitting

1296
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:49.159
his hand, and then the DJ behind the booth has

1297
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:51.320
this thing behind him says blood bath and then yes,

1298
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.519
we get the infamous scene of the sprinklers turning on

1299
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:54.719
yeah and blasting.

1300
00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:56.559
And I want to mention I said two thousands, I'm

1301
00:57:56.559 --> 00:57:58.280
aware of this nineteen ninety eighty. Yeah, this is to

1302
00:57:58.400 --> 00:58:01.840
the beginning of the two thousands kind of era. Yeah,

1303
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:07.039
that that very flashy, very winky. When hot topic was scary,

1304
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:12.119
exactly when hot topic was scary, when it was underground,

1305
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:14.599
it was like it was on the bottom floor of

1306
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:19.679
them all. But it's it's also worth like, did you

1307
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:21.400
ever did you ever go to a pham party? Did

1308
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:23.400
you ever go to a night did you go to that? Not?

1309
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:27.519
Not? I've never gone to like a straight up night club. No, No,

1310
00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:29.400
I actually haven't. Now I've been to a phone party once,

1311
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.559
but it was it was at a private residence.

1312
00:58:31.760 --> 00:58:36.280
Oh no, No, I had my period of time where

1313
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:38.920
I dated a certain kind of woman and one of

1314
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:45.639
them loved clubbing so much, which I generally found so boring.

1315
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:48.679
When the birth of clubbing as far as like the nineties,

1316
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:52.840
clubbing was like what circing ninety five and up through

1317
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:54.119
ninety nine or earlier.

1318
00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:56.119
Earlier, dude, there were always clubs because there was the

1319
00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:56.760
disco tech.

1320
00:58:56.840 --> 00:58:58.719
Well yeah, no, yeah, I'm also thinking to like the

1321
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:03.079
party monster era, like I'd got I Meana Saint James.

1322
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:06.760
We don't have that kind of opulence in Dayton though.

1323
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:10.679
But Dayton was known for clubs. They had two very

1324
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:15.840
prominent gay clubs in the nineties, Masquerade and fourteen seventies,

1325
00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:19.320
which literally I got to go to fourteen seventies a

1326
00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:23.199
couple times. They literally had a an under twenty one floor,

1327
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:28.679
a gay floor, and a mixed floor. Yeah, basically, so

1328
00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:30.239
you could you could pick which one you wanted to

1329
00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:30.679
hang out on.

1330
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:32.480
Was the one that Andy talked about the was it

1331
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:33.280
the Foundry?

1332
00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:35.920
He talked about the Foundry. But we filmed parts of

1333
00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:39.280
one of Andy's movies at fourteen seventies. Okay, so yeah,

1334
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:42.199
in the basement gotcha, But that was after it had moved,

1335
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:45.039
so it was no longer at fourteen seventy, but it

1336
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:48.079
was still called fourteen seventies. Yeah, but I remember I

1337
00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:50.239
went to a foam party and they mentioned that on

1338
00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:52.280
goth night when they would do phone parties, they would

1339
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:58.400
diet red. Oh wow, I wonder why so, which my

1340
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:01.039
first thought was, I will not be my clothes that night.

1341
01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:04.000
I'm ninety percent sure, and I mean I haven't looked

1342
01:00:04.039 --> 01:00:05.880
it up in a while, but I'm ninety percent sure that,

1343
01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:08.800
like I read a story a while back that they

1344
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:11.599
wanted to actually do a blood rave somewhere.

1345
01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:14.599
I don't know, with literal blood, with literal blood like

1346
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:16.159
pigs blood. I'm guessing pigs blood.

1347
01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:17.519
Yeah, I have no idea, but.

1348
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:21.000
That would be disgusting now. I mean, for the record,

1349
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.559
it's not like a rave smells great. Yeah, I mean

1350
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:31.960
there's that, yes, But the idea of getting hit by

1351
01:00:32.119 --> 01:00:36.599
like a combo of like axe, body spray, jupe and pennies,

1352
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:40.599
which is the smell you would get at a blood rave, Yeah,

1353
01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:45.480
I'm a pass. I'm a pass. I mean, but they

1354
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:47.719
could call it, you know, a hepatitis night or something.

1355
01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:51.760
Well, and also uh did you. I can't remember how

1356
01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:54.519
how soon did you start playing the hit Man games?

1357
01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:55.400
Was that more later?

1358
01:00:55.639 --> 01:00:56.480
Way later? So?

1359
01:00:56.719 --> 01:01:00.400
In hit Man Contracts, which I believe is the second

1360
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:04.599
game in the original PS two releases, the first level

1361
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:06.840
is a rave at a at a slaughterhouse.

1362
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:10.800
Well, yeah, the the pop up rave thing, which wasn't

1363
01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:12.679
really a thing out here very much, or or I

1364
01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:15.960
wasn't cool enough to know, was very popular in places

1365
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:17.719
like New York and California where there's a lot of

1366
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:21.159
like empty space and expensive and and all that.

1367
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:23.360
Well, I mean, and that also brings up the the

1368
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:25.880
location of Blade, because we never get an actual city,

1369
01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:27.400
but it also has touches up.

1370
01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:28.719
Very New York City.

1371
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:30.800
It's New York, and it has touches a San Francisco though,

1372
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:34.159
like the beaches and whatnot, especially there's.

1373
01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:34.800
Beaches in New York.

1374
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:37.599
But I mean, like the the the Chinatown look is

1375
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:40.840
more San Francisco than the New York I think.

1376
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:46.039
So, I mean you might be right, yeah, oh well

1377
01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:49.800
it's I'm not gonna trust what is it. I'm not

1378
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.719
gonna trust Gemini. But no it says Los Angeles. Okay,

1379
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:54.960
Wikipedia says Los Angeles.

1380
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:57.360
I mean the later movies may have actually said it.

1381
01:01:57.400 --> 01:01:59.280
Now to think about it, it's possible.

1382
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:01.760
I can't remean lot on IMDb says Los Angeles.

1383
01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:04.480
Okay, well shit, so then yeah we are there. But yeah,

1384
01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:07.400
so the blood race starts and dude's freaking out. Everybody's

1385
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:10.559
starting into vampires and completing tracy lords. Everybody's covered in blood,

1386
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:11.280
including him.

1387
01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:13.960
I like how they're all vamping out to get him. Yeah,

1388
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:16.239
when it's like you guys are literally wasting gallons and

1389
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:17.360
gallons of blood, but they.

1390
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:19.320
Also just start kicking him. They also just start kicking

1391
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:21.039
and beating on him like they could have been him

1392
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:21.480
or anything.

1393
01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:24.239
Well, and you know, I thought it was silly until

1394
01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:26.880
I realized later on when Frost is like basically talking

1395
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:29.360
about why he wants to take over the vampire like

1396
01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:33.480
the world, it becomes clear that the old vampire away

1397
01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:40.159
was a lot less devil may care about human life,

1398
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:42.960
Like they understood that they ate humans, but they also

1399
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:45.239
understood they coexist with humans. Yeah, as to where he

1400
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:46.960
had that ad to, he was like their cattle, they're

1401
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:49.360
just cattle to whatever. And that's one thing I really

1402
01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:54.440
thought was interesting about the sequence is what what is

1403
01:02:54.519 --> 01:02:55.079
this scene?

1404
01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:57.840
It's a rave inside a slaughterhouse.

1405
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:00.639
But they're being like rained down in blode What is

1406
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:01.719
that though? Think about that?

1407
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:04.000
How wasteful?

1408
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:09.840
So imagine that, you know, you went to a rave

1409
01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:13.719
and they're just like we're gonna pour red wine from

1410
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:18.920
the ceiling. Talk about sticky, Yeah, talk about talk about

1411
01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:21.719
a sticky situation to find yourselfing. But but my point

1412
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:23.239
is like it's what you you You would have that

1413
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:24.800
thought where you'd be like, why aren't why don't we

1414
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:27.239
drink the water? Like why are we just pouring wine?

1415
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:29.360
I mean, why are you doing that? And my point

1416
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:33.480
is that it suggested a level of wasteful opulence. It

1417
01:03:33.559 --> 01:03:36.960
was like like a drug party kind of thing, like

1418
01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:38.679
where it's like we don't care, it's just about the

1419
01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:41.519
vibe or whatever. It's a showman thing. Yeah. So my

1420
01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:44.880
point is, though, like, imagine if you could only eat

1421
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:50.079
one thing, okay, to survive, not like imagine like lazed

1422
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:52.719
potato chips are the only way you can live, so

1423
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:56.519
like college, yeah, and but like lazed potato chips the

1424
01:03:56.559 --> 01:03:59.159
only way you live. And and so if you eat

1425
01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:01.960
a turkey sandwich does nothing for you, okay, and then

1426
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:04.199
you're like there are thousands of people like me, you

1427
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:06.800
can only eat lace potato chips, and then you're like,

1428
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:08.880
let's go to a club and just get poor laced

1429
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:11.840
potatoes ourselves and stomp on them. That's fair and whatever. Yeah,

1430
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:13.599
and it's like, yeah, and what's the point of the night? Oh,

1431
01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:15.400
would have fun and get more laced potato chips.

1432
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.679
My favorite thing though, too, is the the technical aspect

1433
01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:21.079
of doing a blood rave in regards to there's a

1434
01:04:21.119 --> 01:04:23.000
there's a guy on YouTube that has a thing called

1435
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:25.239
Minor Character Theater and he did a whole thing an

1436
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:28.440
episode about where he was the plumber for Freak and Frost,

1437
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:32.519
and the technical side of them to do this is insane.

1438
01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:34.360
Yeah you need it would be a lot of work.

1439
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:36.360
It could be a lot of work. Yeah yeah. But

1440
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:38.400
I tried to take it at face value, and all

1441
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:42.679
I could think was like, this is like it's like

1442
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:45.320
like you hear those stories about like back in the day,

1443
01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:50.800
like the heads of like Arab nations would like pour

1444
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:55.000
drinking water on themselves and stuff, and you're like, dude,

1445
01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.519
there's not a lot of water. Yeah. And that's the

1446
01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:59.519
sense I got was that there's this idea that they're

1447
01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:05.079
like there romanticizing something that's a necessity to live. And

1448
01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:08.039
it's clear that the older generation of vampires are not

1449
01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:10.639
like that, not like they don't think that it's just like, oh,

1450
01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:13.719
blood's just you know, falling out of the sky. So

1451
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:15.400
I just thought that was a really interesting thing because

1452
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:18.719
obviously it's mainly it's an incredible visual oh yeah, and

1453
01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:22.320
it and it really fed young people enjoying Blade because

1454
01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:27.000
that tech, that pounding techno music and and goth culture

1455
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.440
was really like hitting the hype in the nineties.

1456
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:32.559
Well, I'll say again going back to going back to

1457
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:34.960
like this is an R rated movie, Like that's something

1458
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:36.840
that really sets that tone there where it's just like,

1459
01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:40.239
oh yeah, that's fucking gross and that's that's extreme.

1460
01:05:40.440 --> 01:05:43.039
Yeah, But at the same time, it's it's blood without context,

1461
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:46.159
so it's not really violent you per se, Yeah, kind

1462
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:47.519
of like Evil Dead two. I was like, well, the

1463
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:50.039
blood's coming out of the house, so how violent can

1464
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:52.519
that be? And the NBA was like.

1465
01:05:52.679 --> 01:05:56.119
X so naturally, the dude starts freaking out, he's trying

1466
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:58.360
to escape, he's crawling on the ground while they're kicking him,

1467
01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:00.559
and he ends up running right into Blade, except he

1468
01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:02.239
does not touch him at all. I did notice that

1469
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:04.519
last night. He just barely gets to him and looks

1470
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:07.119
up and yeah, Blade starts going to town on these vampires.

1471
01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:09.599
Yeah, and I did not remember all the weird winks

1472
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:12.880
and and uh and goofiness. Yeah, but uh it's pretty

1473
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:13.559
silly and fun.

1474
01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:16.360
Yeah, because you got Donald Logue, who he gets all

1475
01:06:16.480 --> 01:06:18.559
these guys and he ends up getting his arm chopped

1476
01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:20.119
off and he ends up getting pinned to the wall

1477
01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:22.480
by the stakes. Like Blade basically goes through this room

1478
01:06:22.559 --> 01:06:24.320
like within I would say about a minute a half time.

1479
01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:26.679
That's like a minute or so. Yeah, and he's clearly

1480
01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:29.000
got like he's not only a badass, he has all

1481
01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:31.679
the ways to kill them like Holster. Yeah.

1482
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:34.400
Well, I mean I love the scene, but like when

1483
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:36.400
they move into that little circular room because he's like

1484
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:38.599
jumping on the ledge, he's going off the wall and whatnot.

1485
01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:40.920
But yeah, he ends up Quinn is Donald Lowe's character.

1486
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:43.119
He pins him to the wall with two steaks, and

1487
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:44.559
he's just like, you know, I'm getting tired of like

1488
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:46.519
chopping your limbs off, so I thought I'd try fire

1489
01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:49.119
this time, sets him a blaze and walks away as

1490
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:50.199
the cops raided the place.

1491
01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:53.159
Which you know, a lot of the problems in this movie.

1492
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:56.559
If he had just like a normal vampire, yeah, instead

1493
01:06:56.599 --> 01:07:00.199
of like savoring tormenting him, we wouldn't have a lot

1494
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:00.679
of the problems.

1495
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:02.599
The one thing that I realized watching this last night,

1496
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:05.559
everybody gets kidnapped in this movie. Yeah, some multiple times.

1497
01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:10.480
Oh yeah, that's a kidnapped forward kind of film. Really. Yeah,

1498
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:11.400
that's a good point.

1499
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:16.159
So so yeah, they end up they end up taking

1500
01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:18.400
Donald Doug's body out to a morgue, and that is

1501
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:21.480
where we meet Karen, who is a blood specialist at

1502
01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:26.039
this hospital. He metologist. Yeah, and she is with her

1503
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:28.719
ex boyfriend Curtis, who comes in and he's like, hey,

1504
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:30.719
well they work together. Yeah, I've got something weird for

1505
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:32.440
you to come and like come down and see this body.

1506
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:34.599
And so they're examining it. And I really like this

1507
01:07:34.679 --> 01:07:37.840
scene because even though yeah, they're cutting open a corpse

1508
01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:40.119
and like talking about their relationship, this is just a

1509
01:07:40.159 --> 01:07:42.280
normal thing for them, Like this is an everyday thing.

1510
01:07:42.199 --> 01:07:44.679
For I thought you meant like fighting about their relationship.

1511
01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:46.679
This is a normal thing. It's pretty sad. So you're

1512
01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:50.159
cutting open and burned corpse, okay, fine, but no, like

1513
01:07:50.199 --> 01:07:50.760
that's their job.

1514
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:53.039
So I mean the fact they're having relationship talks and

1515
01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:55.480
stuff is it's pretty cool to have that in the movie.

1516
01:07:55.480 --> 01:07:56.960
I think, Oh, I thought you'd be like again because

1517
01:07:57.000 --> 01:08:00.719
communication is so important, you just keep not referred to

1518
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:02.599
the works the cor No, no, no, it's it's a

1519
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:04.920
cool scene because the first joke I thought of when

1520
01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:07.159
we were watching it was like, uh, it was like,

1521
01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:12.800
first question, have you ever doubted us? Second question to lunch. Yeah.

1522
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:15.760
But Quinn ends up not being dead, of course, so

1523
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:18.960
he ends up attacking Curtis, bites him, even bites Karen,

1524
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:20.720
and right at this point, Blade shows up at the

1525
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:24.319
hospital and tries to savor. The cops start firing on him,

1526
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:27.279
which is my favorite of his interactions for going, well,

1527
01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:28.640
the fuck are you out of your damn mind?

1528
01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:30.960
This is They shoot him in the bullet proof best thing.

1529
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:33.680
I love it. He has a bulletproof vest. But don't worry,

1530
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:37.039
it's sculpted to look like muscles. Yep, yes that he

1531
01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:40.119
needed help. No, this is peak snipes, Oh yeah, this

1532
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:41.960
is man in every direction.

1533
01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:45.880
Yeah one basically comedy wise Fucking pastor fifty seven Boiling

1534
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:48.600
Point Drop Zone Murder at sixteen hundred and this is

1535
01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:50.319
right before Art of War, which is one.

1536
01:08:50.159 --> 01:08:53.239
Of my favorites Demolition Man. He was ripped in.

1537
01:08:53.319 --> 01:08:56.119
Yeah. So but yeah, the cops shoot at him, he

1538
01:08:56.199 --> 01:08:58.720
yells at them, ends up grabbing Karen. There's a whole

1539
01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:02.359
crazy scene where he up throwing her across the street

1540
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:04.760
really far and dislocates her shoulder.

1541
01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:07.279
Yeah, but he's a gentleman, so he puts.

1542
01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:08.000
It, puts it right back in.

1543
01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:08.279
Yeah.

1544
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:10.279
But then also the cops are shooting at him while

1545
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:12.720
he's carrying her to safety, like, and you even pointed

1546
01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.119
out last night, really good shots too, because they're shooting

1547
01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:17.600
with a gun across a long leave of street.

1548
01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:19.439
Ye, they're shooting with like they make it seem like

1549
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:22.960
this automatic gun. And he's he's like too like a

1550
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:26.279
building over and down and they're like coming close to hitting.

1551
01:09:26.279 --> 01:09:28.560
Oh yeah, they were like the anti Stormtroopers. They were

1552
01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:29.680
very good, very good.

1553
01:09:30.359 --> 01:09:33.640
So Blade ends up taking Karen to the hideout where

1554
01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:37.239
Whistler is played by the great Chris Christofferson. And this

1555
01:09:37.359 --> 01:09:38.920
is one of my all time favorite roles of it

1556
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:40.680
is he's such a bad ass in this movie.

1557
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:43.760
Yeah, well, and he's an effortless badass. You never really,

1558
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:47.479
not until the third act, yeah, or near the third

1559
01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:50.159
act do you see him do anything badass other than

1560
01:09:50.239 --> 01:09:52.319
just exist. Exist? But he's so good.

1561
01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:55.520
So he's just like one of my favorite lines off

1562
01:09:55.560 --> 01:09:58.119
bringing strays home now because he's brought Karen and he's

1563
01:09:58.119 --> 01:09:59.840
trying to save her because she's been bitten.

1564
01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:01.159
There's a window of.

1565
01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:03.560
Time they have for her to not transition, so they're

1566
01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:05.560
going to try to save her by injecting her with

1567
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:06.399
straight up garlic.

1568
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:07.960
Yeah, garlic extra.

1569
01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:10.439
It's like, yeah, garlic extra essense of garlic or something.

1570
01:10:10.520 --> 01:10:13.199
Yeah, which is which is an interesting and clever concept. Yeah,

1571
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:15.279
Like I always thought, like, wouldn't the cure be like

1572
01:10:15.359 --> 01:10:17.680
holy water, although this one there's no holy water. Yeah,

1573
01:10:17.720 --> 01:10:19.520
they don't do that there, We don't do that.

1574
01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:20.399
We'll do that here.

1575
01:10:20.520 --> 01:10:22.720
But but yes, the injector with that, hoping that it'll

1576
01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:27.159
slow the spread and potentially stop it. Yeah, because uh yeah,

1577
01:10:27.199 --> 01:10:28.960
it's one of those things they skip a lot of

1578
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:31.439
my favorite vampire lore. But I'm totally okay with it. Yeah.

1579
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:33.159
Well, I like the fact that when he injects her,

1580
01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:35.159
like her her bites actually kind of like steam a

1581
01:10:35.199 --> 01:10:35.520
little bit.

1582
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:37.399
Oh yeah, No, it's like have an effect on it,

1583
01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:39.039
and I love that the way they can tell how

1584
01:10:39.079 --> 01:10:41.359
she's doing is how fast her wounds are healing.

1585
01:10:41.479 --> 01:10:41.880
Yeah.

1586
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:44.039
So so it's the opposite of the normal thing where

1587
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:46.279
you're like you're like, ah, these aren't closing up at all,

1588
01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:48.159
this is bad. Instead they're like, these are closing up

1589
01:10:48.159 --> 01:10:49.640
really fast. This is really bad.

1590
01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:53.359
So we see also that Whistler is a Blades mentor.

1591
01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:56.279
He makes the weapons and he uses them, as Blade says,

1592
01:10:56.319 --> 01:10:58.199
that's what I love. He makes the weapons I use.

1593
01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:00.920
It's a good it's a good setup. He makes the weapons,

1594
01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:02.800
I use them. He has a lot of that very

1595
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.359
matter of fact like, like, was that line where she

1596
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:07.359
was like, uh where she was like, so there's no

1597
01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:08.920
cure and I was like, I'm shocked he didn't say,

1598
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:11.359
I am like, I was waiting for him to say it.

1599
01:11:11.439 --> 01:11:13.319
He didn't. Yeah, but I was like, that would totally

1600
01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:14.399
be something Blade would say.

1601
01:11:14.479 --> 01:11:17.079
So now we we cut over across the city to

1602
01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:20.880
the pure Blood Vampire location, which is all of them

1603
01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:23.560
sitting at a long ass table led by Udo here.

1604
01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:26.439
Of course, and and again and Udo Kiir at his

1605
01:11:26.479 --> 01:11:31.039
most Udo kiri. Yeah, I love the joke.

1606
01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:33.319
We riffed last night where it was just like all right,

1607
01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:35.760
to beatru vampire, you must fuck life from the golf line.

1608
01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:38.760
Like yeah, yeah, we get the gallbladder thing again. We've

1609
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:42.039
heard it. We got it, we got it. So I

1610
01:11:42.039 --> 01:11:42.960
don't think that's true.

1611
01:11:43.039 --> 01:11:46.760
It's not true. So they expressed that they are basically

1612
01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:48.600
upset with Deacon Frost because Decon Frost is in the

1613
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:50.920
waiting room, he gets brought into the chamber and they're

1614
01:11:50.960 --> 01:11:53.640
basically like your clubs are we have like they're they're

1615
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:55.439
making a bad name for us. The cops are on

1616
01:11:55.560 --> 01:11:57.439
to us, like, you know, you can't keep treating this

1617
01:11:57.479 --> 01:11:59.760
shit like like it like this is okay, Like we

1618
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:02.640
in the shadows to exist with humans. We can't be

1619
01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:03.960
like showcasing this shit.

1620
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:06.399
Yeah, and we get the sense that basically what we

1621
01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:09.680
have here are what are basically vampire elders of these

1622
01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:16.239
elder sects of vampires, and Frost is an upstart sect

1623
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.880
in a way he's mohammed.

1624
01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:21.960
And in a way yes you could say.

1625
01:12:21.880 --> 01:12:24.960
Praise be unto him, but he is he's an upstart,

1626
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:28.600
Like he's an upstart sect. He's a new sect, which

1627
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:31.840
they don't really he's young blood yeah, well, and he's

1628
01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:34.319
not a pure vampire because he was turned. And that

1629
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:38.199
was one of the first vampire lore elements of Blade

1630
01:12:38.199 --> 01:12:40.079
that I remembered right away when I was rewatching it.

1631
01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:42.000
As I even asked you, I was like, in this,

1632
01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:43.840
if you're born a vampire, you're a full vampire. They

1633
01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:47.039
don't take as much value. And if you're turned, which

1634
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:49.680
is not a common vampire thing. The other vampire things,

1635
01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:52.640
the vampires aren't born. They're the only way they procreate

1636
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:55.840
is by infecting the living, and this one, they're a

1637
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:59.319
little bit more like a race, which is an interesting

1638
01:12:59.359 --> 01:12:59.920
take on it too.

1639
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.000
Well, And this is Frost's whole explanation of like, you know,

1640
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:05.680
the humans are cattle. We shouldn't be, you know, buddying

1641
01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:07.479
up with them. We should be owning them. We should

1642
01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:09.680
be feeding on them. We should rule this fucking world,

1643
01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:10.359
is his whole thing.

1644
01:13:10.479 --> 01:13:13.399
We're apex predators, we should rule it. Which is a

1645
01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:15.279
funny way to look at it when it's like, you know,

1646
01:13:15.319 --> 01:13:17.359
what would really keep the blood supply great if the

1647
01:13:17.800 --> 01:13:19.920
most of the humans died and lived in and and

1648
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:22.159
and fear and we're aware of you to protect themselves. Yeah,

1649
01:13:22.199 --> 01:13:24.439
I think that's a little dumb. Yeah, I would say so.

1650
01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:29.640
But but but that's the thing. Frost is brash as

1651
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:31.560
to where when he talks to the other vampire leaders,

1652
01:13:31.560 --> 01:13:35.399
they're very thoughtful, they're clearly educated. I mean they're probably

1653
01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:37.640
three four, five hundred years old too, but they're like

1654
01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:40.640
very thoughtful, educated, aware of the history. But then we

1655
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:43.520
find out really soon after that Frost is like hanging

1656
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:47.039
out in the archives where the vampires keep all of

1657
01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:51.560
their like religious artifacts of sorts, the vampire the history

1658
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:54.520
of it. Yeah, yeah, but he's obsessed with translating parts

1659
01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:57.199
that have never been translated. It can't be translated because

1660
01:13:57.199 --> 01:13:58.960
there's no one to translate it. Yeah, because it's a

1661
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:03.920
sad whole lang. Yeah, but I would say undead language.

1662
01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:07.359
But but it's funny because that's also really interesting for

1663
01:14:07.439 --> 01:14:09.640
young upstart because what's he doing. He's doing something that

1664
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:12.359
literally everybody else already knows you can't do, and he's like,

1665
01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:14.439
I think I can though, which would rub them the

1666
01:14:14.479 --> 01:14:16.000
wrong way too. They'd be like, why would you be

1667
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.960
able to do it and not you know, three thousand

1668
01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:22.199
years or whatever a vampire? You know history, Why couldn't

1669
01:14:22.239 --> 01:14:23.920
we have done it? If you can do it. Yeah,

1670
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:26.199
but he also is like using technology. There's a lot

1671
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:31.319
of elements of Frost that are very youthful futureh ism,

1672
01:14:31.399 --> 01:14:34.199
like like his focus on computers, his focus on technology,

1673
01:14:34.279 --> 01:14:37.479
but also his focus on opulence, his focus on narcissism.

1674
01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:41.720
Which I was trying to place that because it's the nineties,

1675
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:46.600
so we're past the like the nineteen eighties yuppie thing.

1676
01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:52.199
But I feel like there's probably a theme that I

1677
01:14:52.279 --> 01:14:54.640
might not be picking up on because I grew up

1678
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:56.239
in the nineties, but I was, like, you know, in

1679
01:14:56.319 --> 01:14:58.239
nineteen ninety eight, I was I was like thirteen or whatever.

1680
01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:00.640
It's kind of fascinating too, because like if you if

1681
01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:04.039
you think about it, like Deacon Frost is he's really

1682
01:15:04.079 --> 01:15:06.039
in over his head, but he'll never admit it.

1683
01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:09.680
Well, no, he's he's literally pure avarice. Yeah, I mean,

1684
01:15:09.720 --> 01:15:12.119
that's that's all he is. That's why they look down

1685
01:15:12.119 --> 01:15:14.239
on him. They're like, of course you're this way because

1686
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:17.560
you're young, you know, like, of course you are. Of course.

1687
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:19.520
My first thought when it was like we were born vampires, like, oh,

1688
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:24.560
why are you old? That's fair? It's fair. I mean,

1689
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:26.359
why are you old? Why aren't you all just babies.

1690
01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:29.199
Yeah, creepy babies, vampire babies.

1691
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:31.000
That's the movie.

1692
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:33.319
So but yeah, so he ends up kind of getting

1693
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:37.399
scolded by Udo Kir's character, and that leads us into

1694
01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:39.920
going back to Karen, which we find out that Karen

1695
01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:41.880
wakes up the next day and seems to be okay.

1696
01:15:42.199 --> 01:15:44.479
She doesn't know where she is, obviously, so she ends

1697
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.680
up like sneaking out. She hears Blade and Whistler talking,

1698
01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:49.199
tries to escape, they hear her, and that's they basically

1699
01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:51.600
explain to her, like, you know, you're written by a vampire.

1700
01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:54.600
We think we've got it, but there's no guarantee.

1701
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:59.720
Yeah, and and and while Blade seems very hopeful, Whistler

1702
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:03.520
is very detached. Yes, And I think it's because he's like,

1703
01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:05.560
I don't want to talk to you and realize you're

1704
01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:08.399
a nice lady, yeah, and then have to kill you

1705
01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:12.640
because his entire backstory is people he loved were killed

1706
01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:15.079
or became vampires and had to be killed. Yeah. So

1707
01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:19.319
I like that element too, because as she is around

1708
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:21.279
more and more, he starts to be because he mentions

1709
01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:23.720
like she's a hematologist. Yeah. And as soon as they

1710
01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:26.359
start to have a little bit of rapport he's like,

1711
01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:28.159
I'd really love you to look at what I've been

1712
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:30.920
doing with these blood serums and stuff, because she's an expert.

1713
01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:34.920
So he's like really like wants to befriend her. Yeah,

1714
01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:36.920
but he's so afraid. He's like, great new friend to

1715
01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:37.800
kill well.

1716
01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:39.920
Because they basically she's like, you know, well in my

1717
01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:42.840
prisoner Haerent's like, no, you're free to go and blades

1718
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:44.359
like you know, but just so you know, like since

1719
01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:47.000
the vampires know that, you know, now they're coming after you.

1720
01:16:47.079 --> 01:16:48.880
Oh god, yay, So like you know, get a gun

1721
01:16:49.319 --> 01:16:51.039
and also like if you start turning, like if some

1722
01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:54.000
light starts affecting you, like use it on yourself because

1723
01:16:54.319 --> 01:16:57.000
you're you're not gonna want to be a vampire. So yes,

1724
01:16:57.119 --> 01:16:59.720
she ends up. She ends up leaving and goes back

1725
01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:02.560
to her apartment. There's a cop that is well, there's

1726
01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:04.680
a whole little section where she's on the elevator and

1727
01:17:04.720 --> 01:17:06.439
she sees these markings that we started to see that

1728
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:08.880
the vampire markings of ownership.

1729
01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:10.800
Which I like that because it's one of those things

1730
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:12.880
where like once you know about something, you see it

1731
01:17:12.920 --> 01:17:16.159
every everywhere. You realize that it was already there was ubiquitous.

1732
01:17:16.279 --> 01:17:18.880
Yeah, so she's, you know, paranoid whatnot. He gets to

1733
01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:22.119
her apartment and this cop is, this cop is comes

1734
01:17:22.119 --> 01:17:24.000
into the apartment later and he's like, you know, hey,

1735
01:17:24.359 --> 01:17:27.079
we heard like that your worker said that you were kidnapped.

1736
01:17:27.079 --> 01:17:29.920
And she's like, what about my other my other worker,

1737
01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:32.479
And he's like, oh, Curtis he unfortunately passed and he's like, well,

1738
01:17:32.479 --> 01:17:33.680
you don't have to worry about that. And she's like

1739
01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:35.800
why and he's like, because you're dead too, revealing that

1740
01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:37.800
he's working for the vampires. But she thinks that he's

1741
01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:39.359
a vampire, so she prays him.

1742
01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:42.399
She sprays him with garlic, sprays yeah, pepper spring whistler

1743
01:17:42.399 --> 01:17:44.199
and gave her yeah yeah, garlic mace and I love

1744
01:17:44.239 --> 01:17:46.680
his reactional garlic. What do you think about vampire? And

1745
01:17:46.720 --> 01:17:48.239
then Blade's just right there, yeah.

1746
01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:49.720
Well and I love it too because we said this

1747
01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:52.600
last night. He's just fucking up her apartment with with

1748
01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:55.039
hating this guy, like throwing him all over the.

1749
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.640
PI, the third piece of furniture he breaks. She even goes,

1750
01:17:57.720 --> 01:17:59.960
is this necessary? She even says it is this necess

1751
01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:02.119
because my first thought was like, can't you just punch

1752
01:18:02.199 --> 01:18:03.319
him really hardly? Three times.

1753
01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:05.560
Yeah, because we find out that he's basically an Aaron

1754
01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:07.960
boy for the vampires. He's not turned up familiar, he's

1755
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:09.960
a cop. He's a cop that's working for them. He

1756
01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:12.359
deals blood and takes it to the locations needs to.

1757
01:18:12.560 --> 01:18:16.439
So Blade ends up letting him go essentially because she's

1758
01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:18.800
going they have him at the car trunk because they

1759
01:18:18.800 --> 01:18:20.920
find the blood that he's carrying, and Blade's about to

1760
01:18:20.920 --> 01:18:24.000
shoot him in front of everybody, everybody like yeah in

1761
01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:26.560
the city. So she ends up intervening. He ends up

1762
01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:28.159
getting away, and Blade's like, you know, you got to

1763
01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:30.399
wake up like this, this whole world that you see,

1764
01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:32.800
like this is just a sugarcoated fantasy, Like this is

1765
01:18:32.840 --> 01:18:35.279
actually the real, dark, deep shit that's going on between here,

1766
01:18:35.479 --> 01:18:37.399
and if you don't wise up, you're going to be

1767
01:18:37.520 --> 01:18:38.000
one of the next.

1768
01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:41.359
And then just pants over to Tommy Lee Jones and

1769
01:18:40.520 --> 01:18:43.920
uh and uh, what's his name? Will Will Smith? And

1770
01:18:44.319 --> 01:18:46.960
Tommy Jones is like he has no idea sport.

1771
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:52.399
So Blade ends up trailing the cop, which I think

1772
01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:54.279
is I think his name is Crease if I'm not mistaken,

1773
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:57.199
and he ends up they end up following him to

1774
01:18:57.239 --> 01:18:59.560
another club because now Karen's just gonna be working with

1775
01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:01.319
him because she's like, you know, well, I can't be

1776
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:03.439
safe unless you're with me at this point yause I'm

1777
01:19:03.479 --> 01:19:04.119
probably dead meat.

1778
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:05.680
Well, she's also pretty bad at him. She's like, I

1779
01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:08.000
was bait and he's like, get over it, Yeah, get

1780
01:19:08.079 --> 01:19:08.439
over it.

1781
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:11.640
So yeah, So he ends up following him to another club,

1782
01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:14.720
and this leads us to a scene where Deacon Frost

1783
01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:16.880
is we see him in the archives of Udo. Kir's

1784
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:18.319
character comes up to him and he's like, you know,

1785
01:19:18.359 --> 01:19:20.640
why are you translating the text? Like it's a dead language,

1786
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:23.279
like no one can translate it, and Frost just has

1787
01:19:23.279 --> 01:19:26.319
his headphones in is ignoring him, and d Care goes, damn, Frost.

1788
01:19:26.119 --> 01:19:27.399
I'm talking to you. Yeah.

1789
01:19:27.479 --> 01:19:30.039
It's like, Dad, you don't get it, okay, and he

1790
01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:30.880
answer slapping him.

1791
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:34.560
Yeah. Yeah, so and and so if I'm remembering correctly, so,

1792
01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:39.600
because this movie it's great. Yeah, but it's basically Blade

1793
01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:42.760
in this woman and kind of like the undercurrent is

1794
01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:44.399
she's going to become a vampire, and then also that

1795
01:19:44.439 --> 01:19:46.439
Blade wants to kill all vampires. Yeah, and then the

1796
01:19:46.479 --> 01:19:51.840
b story is basically the internal beef in the vampire world.

1797
01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:56.680
With frost usurping power until they combined. Yeah, obviously they're

1798
01:19:56.680 --> 01:19:58.399
going to intersectfully.

1799
01:19:57.680 --> 01:19:58.960
Combined quite a bit.

1800
01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:03.159
So yeah, like, uh so he ends up taking Blade

1801
01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:05.840
to uh a place where you can access the archives.

1802
01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:08.640
Yeah, it's so they takes him to this bar because

1803
01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:10.479
you follow it. He followed Kreeger's his name, not cree

1804
01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:13.680
It follows Kreeger to this bar, which is uh there

1805
01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:17.239
there's a there's a bunch of vampires that are out

1806
01:20:17.239 --> 01:20:20.319
front of the valetser vampires, the dormant or vampires inside

1807
01:20:20.319 --> 01:20:21.720
there's a vampire show going.

1808
01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:26.800
On, yeah, which is creepy. Yeah. It's literally almost all

1809
01:20:26.840 --> 01:20:33.239
Asian businessmen watching little two school girls girls singing bands. Yeah. Yeah,

1810
01:20:33.399 --> 01:20:38.439
I I felt ways. I was just like, uh okay,

1811
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:40.560
but they do they do point out that there's like

1812
01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:42.399
they don't say it, but I mean it's very clear

1813
01:20:42.479 --> 01:20:45.920
that there's no real racial line. Yeah, with vampires, there's

1814
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:48.800
because like in the leadership space, there are vampire leaders

1815
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:52.000
from all over the world. You know, they're they're black ones,

1816
01:20:52.000 --> 01:20:54.520
white ones. Uh you know, I don't I didn't see

1817
01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:55.960
a single Hispanic one.

1818
01:20:57.119 --> 01:20:58.199
I think those are in the second.

1819
01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:01.119
No, you know why two Catholic can't beat him fair,

1820
01:21:03.159 --> 01:21:07.159
so I'm proud. So Kreeger sees Blade, of course, and

1821
01:21:07.199 --> 01:21:09.600
he run. He starts running, Blades right behind him. He

1822
01:21:09.680 --> 01:21:11.600
ends up kicking his ass in the kitchen and he's like,

1823
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:13.279
you know, where are where are the archives?

1824
01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:14.840
Like where were you taking the blood to? And he's like,

1825
01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:16.840
it's in the freezer and Blade thinks he's fucking with it,

1826
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:18.760
so he beats him up another time. He's like, no, man,

1827
01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:20.560
I'm serious. So Blade opens the door and we just

1828
01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:21.760
see this cavern.

1829
01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:24.800
Yeah, and he just goes down into this like Bruce

1830
01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:30.119
Wayne Level cave, yeah, Barbarian cave. Yeah. Yeah.

1831
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:32.079
So they end up following it down there, and that's

1832
01:21:32.079 --> 01:21:36.520
when we run into Pearl, which is this gelatinous Java

1833
01:21:36.600 --> 01:21:40.279
the Hut esque creature, like like it's a.

1834
01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:48.039
Larger bodied individual. David, my apologies, please be careful, you

1835
01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:49.760
know words, wait till you hear.

1836
01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:51.319
What the how they had to put Pearl in this

1837
01:21:51.359 --> 01:21:53.079
movie in regards to the set design.

1838
01:21:53.159 --> 01:21:55.359
So this was a disturbing scene I remembered even as

1839
01:21:55.840 --> 01:22:00.199
because she's literally so big that she can't get up,

1840
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:02.520
she can't walk or anything, and she just I'm assuming

1841
01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:05.239
that they just feed her blood and like while she

1842
01:22:05.279 --> 01:22:05.960
sits there.

1843
01:22:05.840 --> 01:22:08.920
Cut out, cut out plot element with children. It was

1844
01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:11.079
like specifically eight children, so.

1845
01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:13.760
You're gonna be like, you're gonna like uh uh blood

1846
01:22:13.800 --> 01:22:17.199
and large like it was cut but.

1847
01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:20.720
Yeah, specifically like Bobby Yaga, the children. I think there's

1848
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:23.039
a whole element of like the hell boy lore that

1849
01:22:23.039 --> 01:22:25.119
Bobby Yaga strictly a children. That's kind of the same thing.

1850
01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:27.560
With Bobby Yaga was like the like the Boogie the

1851
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:30.720
Woman Boogieman, and some cultures and stuff like that. The

1852
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:35.479
the Brujas of Portugal and Spain, which my grandpa used

1853
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:37.239
to tell me all the scary stories you heard about,

1854
01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:40.279
which is supposedly living Oh yeah in the village you

1855
01:22:40.279 --> 01:22:42.119
grew up in. Yeah, his grandma used to tell these

1856
01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:44.920
stories about that and the uh I don't know the Portuguese.

1857
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:48.760
I don't speak Portuguese. I don't speak Portuguese. But uh

1858
01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:55.079
he's it's the uh Omre Dessaco is what they call

1859
01:22:55.159 --> 01:22:58.159
him in Spanish cultures. That's how I learned about him later.

1860
01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:00.359
But my grandpad tell me the stories like there was

1861
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:04.079
no no flavor either. I mean he just told them

1862
01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:06.079
to me as a little kid. So we didn't use

1863
01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:08.079
any Portuguese words. He was just like this guy with

1864
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:12.239
a sack, sacks full of kids body parts. And I

1865
01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:14.279
remember because my Grandpa would tell me. I'm like whoa,

1866
01:23:14.279 --> 01:23:16.079
And then when I got older, I'd be like remember

1867
01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:17.399
that story about the guy with the sack. He was

1868
01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:19.239
like yeah. I was like, you didn't wander away from

1869
01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:20.800
grandma much, did you? And he was like hell no,

1870
01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:25.840
he was like five. Yeah. Yeah. She's just like yeah,

1871
01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:28.479
yeah it was they just picked some guy. Yeah, walking

1872
01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:29.920
out street. You had a sack and'd be like full

1873
01:23:29.920 --> 01:23:33.239
of children's body parts, like bad god body parts.

1874
01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:36.600
So so Pearl has like monitors in front of her,

1875
01:23:37.039 --> 01:23:39.920
is also translating the vampire text as well, and also

1876
01:23:40.039 --> 01:23:43.359
has Deacon Frost like basically on video chat and starts

1877
01:23:43.359 --> 01:23:43.960
freaking out.

1878
01:23:43.800 --> 01:23:45.920
Because blades here. I guess they have reflections.

1879
01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:48.560
Yeah, I guess. So, so starts freaking out because like,

1880
01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:50.560
oh my god, blades here, Frost, you said you protect me,

1881
01:23:50.560 --> 01:23:52.640
And of course Deacon's like, you know, hey, Pearl, you

1882
01:23:52.680 --> 01:23:54.680
know shit happens, like die with some fucking dignity.

1883
01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:58.479
Sorry, and did they interact with Blade briefly?

1884
01:23:58.479 --> 01:24:00.000
He's just like hey, Blade, I've already been looking for me,

1885
01:24:00.119 --> 01:24:01.920
and Blade's like, yeah, I'm gonna find you. See and

1886
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:03.640
he's like yeah, okay, closes the laptop.

1887
01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:06.680
Basically, I love by the way side really quick side

1888
01:24:06.720 --> 01:24:10.079
note when he's talking to what's her Karen? Karen? Yeah.

1889
01:24:10.159 --> 01:24:11.960
When he's talking to her, he says at one point like,

1890
01:24:12.039 --> 01:24:14.600
forget all the bullshit you've heard in movies. These are real,

1891
01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:16.920
And all I wanted to respond with was like, what bullshit?

1892
01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:20.399
I'm not a freaking nerve. I kind of wanted to

1893
01:24:20.479 --> 01:24:22.319
say that just because I'd be like, Hey, I'm the

1894
01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:25.159
one sitting here in my living room alone watching Blade well.

1895
01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:27.399
And I also love to because we we glossed over it.

1896
01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:29.960
When they go back to see Whistler the initial time

1897
01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:32.520
after the first running with Kreeger, he gives him this

1898
01:24:32.680 --> 01:24:34.920
UV flashlight thing that he's been working on, and there's

1899
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:37.760
my favorite exchange where he goes, pretty, it's still so heavy,

1900
01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:42.039
Well you're so big. He just looks like like, just

1901
01:24:42.199 --> 01:24:45.319
well you're so big. Yeah, No, they're and they're they're

1902
01:24:45.399 --> 01:24:48.239
back and forth. Is so good and it's so solid

1903
01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:51.039
and it's very it's very.

1904
01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:55.439
Mentor well, but it's it's more than that, because like

1905
01:24:55.479 --> 01:24:59.000
I said, there's definitely Whistler has this degree of separation. Yeah,

1906
01:24:59.039 --> 01:25:02.600
but it's clear that Blade has broken that. Yes, but Whistler,

1907
01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:05.359
but it's almost like that's his personality now too, because

1908
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:08.279
it's been so long. Yeah, so he's just used to it.

1909
01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:10.000
He knows that, Like Whistler's never gonna like give me

1910
01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:12.680
a hug or anything. But Whistler will like he'll you know,

1911
01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:14.479
I'll know by when I when I got into a

1912
01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:16.399
really bad fight and I walk in there, I can

1913
01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:18.239
see the concern on his face. He wants me to

1914
01:25:18.279 --> 01:25:21.039
be okay. Yeah. So well it's a really.

1915
01:25:20.960 --> 01:25:23.600
Sweet and Blade Blade not only you know this says

1916
01:25:23.640 --> 01:25:25.159
the comment about you know, he makes the weapons I

1917
01:25:25.239 --> 01:25:27.520
use him, but also like Blade's aware that like Whistler's

1918
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:29.680
kind of dying because Whistler has cancer.

1919
01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:32.680
Not kind of dying, dyes, dying dying ye yeah, yeah,

1920
01:25:32.680 --> 01:25:35.920
which I guess that's why he was. He wasn't holding

1921
01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:36.880
back on those Marlboroughs.

1922
01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:38.920
Yes, not no, there's light one hundreds because that's it

1923
01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:41.319
actually did was it just the box? The box? But

1924
01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:43.920
also the cigarettes look like like one hundreds, I will say.

1925
01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:46.439
Because usually they hide the you know they they don't

1926
01:25:46.479 --> 01:25:48.119
show the actual logos.

1927
01:25:48.239 --> 01:25:50.079
Yeah, at one point, at one point in the movie,

1928
01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:53.199
you briefly see like the outline of Whistler's cigarettes's smoking,

1929
01:25:53.239 --> 01:25:54.720
and then you also see the cigarette at one point,

1930
01:25:54.760 --> 01:25:56.920
and uh, they look like light one hundreds. And I

1931
01:25:57.039 --> 01:25:59.680
was telling the guys last night. For Whistler to smoke those,

1932
01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:02.000
I just doesn't seem like his character, like Marlboro reds

1933
01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:02.439
all the way.

1934
01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:04.920
I just imagine it was like my little Asian lady

1935
01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:08.319
doctor told me, I can't smoke the strong ones no more.

1936
01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:11.399
At least it wasn't a pipe, which they totally could

1937
01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:12.319
have smoked a pipe.

1938
01:26:12.600 --> 01:26:14.720
Oh my god, that would have destroyed him.

1939
01:26:15.359 --> 01:26:18.079
Cigar would be more fitting, obviously. Oh but I think

1940
01:26:18.119 --> 01:26:20.039
the only person that smokes cigar and this is Donald log.

1941
01:26:20.159 --> 01:26:23.399
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I can imagine he has a

1942
01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:26.239
beautiful humid or of Dutch masters and white owls. I

1943
01:26:26.359 --> 01:26:28.159
choose from so back to Pearl.

1944
01:26:28.439 --> 01:26:30.880
Pearl's freaking out obviously, and blades like you know what

1945
01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:33.399
what is in this vampire text they see? We see

1946
01:26:33.399 --> 01:26:38.199
this diagram basically of this cube that closes and they

1947
01:26:38.199 --> 01:26:39.960
go down in this cavern and like there's gonna be

1948
01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:42.399
like several people sitting around the circle with one person

1949
01:26:42.399 --> 01:26:44.359
in the middle that's gonna inherit this power.

1950
01:26:44.439 --> 01:26:46.039
Like that's all really that we can tell. So, yeah,

1951
01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:47.920
it's a kind of it's a prophecy, like a like

1952
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:52.439
a end of time. Yeah, prophecy thing. Yeah, And it's

1953
01:26:52.479 --> 01:26:55.319
pretty obvious even before he fully says it that the

1954
01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:57.520
reason Frost is so who gives a shit about Blade

1955
01:26:57.520 --> 01:27:00.880
is because he needs Blade to blade. He wants Blade around. Yeah,

1956
01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:03.600
Blade's part of his plan. It. Yeah, very obvious because

1957
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:06.840
Frost is while he is reckless, he's not crazy. No,

1958
01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:09.800
he's not. That's very clear that he's calculated. Yeah.

1959
01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:12.760
So, uh, Pearl ends up getting killed because the UV

1960
01:27:12.800 --> 01:27:15.000
light get ends up getting used and ends up frying

1961
01:27:15.039 --> 01:27:17.880
because Karen is the one handling it and tortures Pearl.

1962
01:27:18.439 --> 01:27:19.760
So she dies because someone kills her.

1963
01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:22.000
Yeah, yeah, dies because someone kills her. Dies because the

1964
01:27:22.119 --> 01:27:23.359
UV light fucking melts her.

1965
01:27:23.600 --> 01:27:25.560
Yes, yes, boy does it.

1966
01:27:25.399 --> 01:27:26.680
Probably smells wonderful to me?

1967
01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:29.079
Oh well, I mean there are so many smells in

1968
01:27:29.119 --> 01:27:32.359
Blade I can only imagine, but prefer only imagine.

1969
01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:35.359
So but but while the before the death happens, like

1970
01:27:35.399 --> 01:27:37.520
Blade's asking questions and it's just like, Okay, well you

1971
01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:39.319
don't mind that if I go in this room right

1972
01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:41.520
here where this door is, blows this door open to

1973
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:44.359
the Archives after Pearl is dead, revealing all the vampire

1974
01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:47.439
texts of the Bible in glass cases. Yeah, so they

1975
01:27:47.479 --> 01:27:50.159
are right in the heart of all this. While they're

1976
01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:52.600
looking around and like he's explaining it to Karen, we

1977
01:27:52.640 --> 01:27:54.880
see this little girl literally running around the archives and

1978
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:57.560
Blade catches onto it and he starts following her and

1979
01:27:57.760 --> 01:27:59.880
goes to help her, only revealing that it's a t

1980
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:02.520
because now Donald log and his goons have showed up

1981
01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:06.039
and they are ambushing them and actually start beating Blade

1982
01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:07.119
and even taking the sword.

1983
01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:10.520
Yeah, which reveals that his sword has a trap mechanism,

1984
01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:13.840
which we saw foreshadowed earlier. Yeah, which blows a guy's hand,

1985
01:28:13.880 --> 01:28:16.359
blows a guy's hand off. I love Donald Logue just

1986
01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:18.880
becoming a molted milk dud throughout this movie, and like

1987
01:28:18.920 --> 01:28:21.319
the moment he heals a little bit, he just even

1988
01:28:21.439 --> 01:28:22.279
more sucked up.

1989
01:28:22.920 --> 01:28:25.199
Yeah, because not only does that so they got the

1990
01:28:25.199 --> 01:28:27.600
guy's hand gets completely blown off and Donald Loag is

1991
01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:29.319
just laughing about it. But then we also see that

1992
01:28:29.399 --> 01:28:32.600
Blade obviously never leaves without backup. So Whistler is close

1993
01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:35.239
by blows a hole in the side of this building

1994
01:28:35.279 --> 01:28:36.560
with one of my favorite lines.

1995
01:28:36.319 --> 01:28:39.000
Which just catch you fuckers at a bad time and

1996
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:41.560
and I love that. The only things I know about

1997
01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:45.039
Whistler are he has cancer, yeah, and he doesn't believe

1998
01:28:45.079 --> 01:28:47.479
in cover. He does not anytime he's fighting. He stands

1999
01:28:47.479 --> 01:28:50.279
in the middle of the room just shoot, just shuting gun. Yeah. Yeah.

2000
01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:52.279
So he just starts laying waste to the rest of

2001
01:28:52.520 --> 01:28:54.960
of Deacon's men and whatnot. Blade and Karen end up

2002
01:28:55.039 --> 01:28:57.960
escaping out into this area that is a huge subway tunnel,

2003
01:28:58.159 --> 01:29:01.560
so they are like grabbing the side of this, hugging

2004
01:29:01.640 --> 01:29:03.279
the side of this is these trains are going by

2005
01:29:03.359 --> 01:29:05.920
like every few seconds, and this leads into a chase

2006
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:08.079
with the other vampires coming after them. There's a whole

2007
01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:11.479
fight that occurs between donald Logue and Blade, but also

2008
01:29:11.520 --> 01:29:13.920
we see Whistler go down into a manhole at one point,

2009
01:29:13.920 --> 01:29:14.560
so he escapes.

2010
01:29:14.600 --> 01:29:18.000
Fine, very ninja turtle, very ninja turtles, Like I wanted

2011
01:29:18.039 --> 01:29:18.600
him to drop that.

2012
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:26.279
So this also leads us to Blade literally taking Quinn

2013
01:29:26.359 --> 01:29:29.159
Donald Logue running his head against the train as it

2014
01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:32.119
goes past only after he chopped his arm off again

2015
01:29:32.319 --> 01:29:33.159
again again.

2016
01:29:34.199 --> 01:29:38.439
Yeah yeah. Donald Logue is highly memorable in this, and

2017
01:29:38.479 --> 01:29:42.000
he keeps not dying, keeps getting really really hurt and

2018
01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:42.760
then not dying.

2019
01:29:42.920 --> 01:29:45.319
So they end up jumping onto the back of the

2020
01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:47.800
train with Blade grabbing the black back of the train

2021
01:29:47.840 --> 01:29:50.680
while holding onto Karen, which was wow yeah, which I

2022
01:29:50.760 --> 01:29:53.000
love it too because they also they don't show anything

2023
01:29:53.039 --> 01:29:54.680
after that. He just grabs onto it and it's gone.

2024
01:29:54.800 --> 01:29:56.880
Well, we see him whip a bit, which was what

2025
01:29:56.920 --> 01:29:59.800
made me go, ho shit, it was really cool.

2026
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:03.199
Yeah. So Kreeger ends up returning to Deacon Frost's hide

2027
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:05.439
out with injured Quinn, who is pissed off and out

2028
01:30:05.439 --> 01:30:08.239
at this point too. And uh, Kreeger ends up getting

2029
01:30:08.279 --> 01:30:10.319
killed because he's pissed Deacon off at this point and

2030
01:30:10.359 --> 01:30:11.399
that's when the whole interaction.

2031
01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:13.399
Deacon would just kill a guy, throws.

2032
01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:15.279
Him in his little uh what is it infinity pool

2033
01:30:15.319 --> 01:30:17.479
he's got out front of his house, the apartment. Yeah,

2034
01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:20.560
with the ducky flipping. Did you see, by the way,

2035
01:30:20.560 --> 01:30:22.479
what they're watching on TV? Like, well, the parties there,

2036
01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:24.880
it's Mortal Kombat. It's the first Mortal.

2037
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:28.199
Kombat movie d D D D D d D.

2038
01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:30.560
So Deacon's host Anmmortal Kombat party.

2039
01:30:30.319 --> 01:30:32.439
Wouldn't you, I mean if you were a vampire? Oh

2040
01:30:32.520 --> 01:30:35.079
yeah yeah.

2041
01:30:35.119 --> 01:30:39.359
So that is when we also get the reveal that, uh, basically,

2042
01:30:39.399 --> 01:30:41.760
Deacon Frost, with his little whole shindig thing, is trying

2043
01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:45.560
to awaken the blood god Lamagra, and Lamagra can only

2044
01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:49.960
be awakened basically by using Blade's blood because that is

2045
01:30:50.000 --> 01:30:52.159
the chosen One's blood. What would we find out?

2046
01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:55.279
I like that the name is Lamagra after it's like

2047
01:30:55.319 --> 01:30:57.800
it came from a dead language and then you guys

2048
01:30:57.800 --> 01:31:02.680
translated it and then it became Spanish sounding. I yeah,

2049
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:05.560
But I like the the reaction though, when they're like,

2050
01:31:05.560 --> 01:31:08.000
like when the lead vampires hear that, they're just kind

2051
01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:11.119
of like, you're trying to summon Lamagra a fairy tale,

2052
01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:13.399
which I thought that was just a really cool. Side

2053
01:31:13.399 --> 01:31:15.680
notice that it's like, oh yeah, people whisper about that,

2054
01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:16.479
but nobody.

2055
01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:18.359
Believe nobody believes it. Yeah, but well, because they also

2056
01:31:18.479 --> 01:31:21.359
need the twelve pure blood vampires along with Blades for

2057
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:24.560
this this ritual to go, which leads into Quinn being like,

2058
01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:26.359
you know, why are we keeping this guy alive, like

2059
01:31:26.359 --> 01:31:27.920
why why can't we just kill him? And he's like

2060
01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:29.920
I need Blade and like, you know, when the time comes,

2061
01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:32.239
we'll kill Blade, but like you know, till now, just

2062
01:31:32.399 --> 01:31:35.039
chill out, which then was the great cut because you

2063
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:37.560
have Deacon and and Donald Loglake face to face, and

2064
01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:40.000
then we cut over to the scene where there's two

2065
01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:41.960
faces in a car like kissing, but it turns out

2066
01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:44.079
it's Mercury Deacon Frost's woman.

2067
01:31:44.319 --> 01:31:44.520
Yeah.

2068
01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:49.800
Yeah, So we reveal that they've kidnapped Udo Kir's character,

2069
01:31:49.840 --> 01:31:53.359
the the like head chancellor vampire guy, and they're going

2070
01:31:53.399 --> 01:31:55.159
to cook his ass in the sunlight.

2071
01:31:55.239 --> 01:31:57.600
Yeah yeah, Well they're not just making out. They're putting

2072
01:31:57.600 --> 01:32:01.720
on the sun prified sunscreen. Yeah, that would be I

2073
01:32:01.920 --> 01:32:06.359
just want to get a bronzer on. But it's like

2074
01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:09.760
they're wearing it and it's so thick and it makes

2075
01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:11.800
them look even more ghoulish, which is pretty cool. And

2076
01:32:11.880 --> 01:32:14.520
this whole sequence where he kills zudo Kire is really interesting.

2077
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:17.119
He's just talking to him and then slowly starts undressing him, yes,

2078
01:32:17.439 --> 01:32:18.119
which is interesting.

2079
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:19.800
Well, not to mention, he steals his fangs because he

2080
01:32:19.800 --> 01:32:21.359
needs to have proof that like he's in charge.

2081
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:24.680
Now he rips his fangs, he defangs him. Yeah, literally, because.

2082
01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:26.920
Deacon is just like, you know, oh yeah, how long

2083
01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:28.520
has been you've seen a good sunset? Oh that's right,

2084
01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:30.279
you're up here blood like you've never seen him had

2085
01:32:30.319 --> 01:32:33.000
a pleasure. Well, guess what, we're gonna enjoy it together. Yeah,

2086
01:32:33.119 --> 01:32:35.319
And he basically is like Frost, like you're never gonna win,

2087
01:32:35.399 --> 01:32:36.800
and he's like, you just don't fucking get it. So

2088
01:32:36.920 --> 01:32:39.359
he takes his teeth and they put on biker helmets

2089
01:32:39.359 --> 01:32:41.640
and biker gear to protect themselves while udo Kre just

2090
01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:43.199
opens the arc of the Covenant.

2091
01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:47.560
When the sun melt splode, Yeah, he melts blows melt slow, yes, yes,

2092
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:50.319
and right around the same time, by the way, although

2093
01:32:50.359 --> 01:32:52.119
it's not like a scene worth breaking up a ton,

2094
01:32:52.880 --> 01:32:54.920
Karen is with Blade, who's hurt, and he ends up

2095
01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:57.439
injecting himself with the serrum, and that's where we get

2096
01:32:57.640 --> 01:33:01.119
full confirmation that he's a kind of vampire. She says,

2097
01:33:01.159 --> 01:33:02.880
you're one of them, and he says, no, I'm something else.

2098
01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:05.560
Well, because he earlier in the movie, like very early on,

2099
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:08.159
he goes to see this guy that has the garlic

2100
01:33:08.239 --> 01:33:09.880
shop and whatnot, like the yes, and shop. And that's

2101
01:33:09.880 --> 01:33:11.479
when we get the idea that he's like, you're a

2102
01:33:11.520 --> 01:33:13.479
week early, and he's like, yeah, I need it already.

2103
01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:15.560
I was afraid you would get a tolerance, you'd build

2104
01:33:15.560 --> 01:33:18.640
a tolerance. So he's injecting a kind of garlic serum himself. Yeah,

2105
01:33:19.319 --> 01:33:21.000
and it seemed like what he injected himself with that

2106
01:33:21.159 --> 01:33:25.079
was like blood to give him power, because we find out,

2107
01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:28.960
you know, very soon that Whistler found him, he was

2108
01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:29.800
killing people when he.

2109
01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:31.960
Was youellmeless people, yeah, and homes.

2110
01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:34.479
And Whistler ended up taking him under his wing and

2111
01:33:34.600 --> 01:33:36.359
trying to figure out ways to help him not be

2112
01:33:36.840 --> 01:33:39.920
a full blown almost killed vampire. Yeah yeah, well and

2113
01:33:40.039 --> 01:33:42.239
and well, and I'm sure he was ready to shit

2114
01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:44.760
himself when he saw him walk in the daylight. Probably, yeah,

2115
01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:46.479
that would be that would be the bad day when

2116
01:33:46.640 --> 01:33:48.279
just like I had vampires and then one's just walking

2117
01:33:48.319 --> 01:33:50.560
out of the seven eleven, You're like fuck yeah.

2118
01:33:51.239 --> 01:33:53.960
So so yeah, we also get around this time that Karen.

2119
01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:57.119
It's a hilarious scene because Karen's just like, you know, yeah,

2120
01:33:57.159 --> 01:33:58.720
I want to show you something, and she like puts

2121
01:33:58.760 --> 01:34:01.439
this test together with dropping this one drop on the

2122
01:34:01.600 --> 01:34:03.760
slide under the microscope and Blade goes look in the

2123
01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:05.039
microscope completely.

2124
01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:07.760
Tells him like, step back, it's highly reactive. He's like,

2125
01:34:08.199 --> 01:34:11.560
it was down and it blows up, and Whistler is

2126
01:34:11.840 --> 01:34:15.279
highly amused, which which I like that too because it

2127
01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:18.760
plays off the idea that Blade is a little comically serious. Yeah,

2128
01:34:18.960 --> 01:34:22.560
by having that moment where even Whistle yeah, should have listened.

2129
01:34:22.319 --> 01:34:23.920
To her kid and he's just like, you know, this

2130
01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:25.760
is a Karen. She's like, well, no, I thought maybe

2131
01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:27.239
you could explode some vampire heads with it.

2132
01:34:27.399 --> 01:34:30.359
I love that lie, Not not exactly, I figured you

2133
01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:32.439
could explode some vampire heads with its. Like.

2134
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:37.439
So this leads then to Blade going or to Deacon

2135
01:34:37.560 --> 01:34:39.439
going to the board and basically tells them I'm in

2136
01:34:39.520 --> 01:34:42.439
charge now at this point and essentially kidnaps them from

2137
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:42.800
this point.

2138
01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:45.680
Yeah yeah, so change of pace, he starts kidnapping.

2139
01:34:46.720 --> 01:34:47.840
Kidnap have you movie man?

2140
01:34:49.520 --> 01:34:50.680
So uh.

2141
01:34:51.039 --> 01:34:54.319
That is when Karen is confident, though also with what

2142
01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:56.760
she's doing with Whistler, that they are able to hopefully

2143
01:34:56.800 --> 01:34:59.079
fight a cure for Blade, but they don't know well

2144
01:34:59.119 --> 01:35:02.000
for her hopefully Blade and hopefully Blade, yeah, for her

2145
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:04.199
specifically because yeah, because.

2146
01:35:03.640 --> 01:35:06.840
She's so early in her infection there's a higher likelihood.

2147
01:35:06.960 --> 01:35:08.680
Well, and Whistler even says at one point, because she's

2148
01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:10.319
in the bathroom and you can see that she's weak,

2149
01:35:10.359 --> 01:35:11.800
and he's like, you know, you don't look so good,

2150
01:35:11.840 --> 01:35:13.239
and he goes to peel the band aid back and

2151
01:35:13.279 --> 01:35:14.920
he's like, I guess we didn't catch it in enough time.

2152
01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.000
I'm sorry, maybe two. Yeah, so she is kind of

2153
01:35:19.039 --> 01:35:21.840
down to the clock at this point. So this leads

2154
01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:24.960
into Blade is walking the street looking for Deacon, gets

2155
01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:28.319
like a spiky sense almost daylight daylight. Yeah, he's in

2156
01:35:28.359 --> 01:35:30.239
the daylight looking for Deacon Frost and it gets like

2157
01:35:30.279 --> 01:35:32.560
a spidy sense. And across the street we see Deacon

2158
01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:34.920
is you know, looking at him, but also has like

2159
01:35:34.960 --> 01:35:36.279
a little girl that he's holding on too.

2160
01:35:36.399 --> 01:35:40.199
And it's in Chinatown. Yeah, so here's the thing. I

2161
01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:43.239
didn't get a sense of a spidy sense. What I

2162
01:35:43.359 --> 01:35:47.119
got was that that feeling I could see like you're.

2163
01:35:47.039 --> 01:35:49.079
Being watched, hunted.

2164
01:35:49.159 --> 01:35:51.800
Yeah, you know, you know, a sunny Land and predator.

2165
01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:54.039
The edit is just weird because like you have kind

2166
01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:56.479
of like the and like zooming and then it's just

2167
01:35:56.680 --> 01:35:57.279
well because.

2168
01:35:57.159 --> 01:35:59.960
Because he's across the street, and they use it's very

2169
01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:03.000
Jaws like they're using the passing trucks, yeah, to like

2170
01:36:03.159 --> 01:36:05.600
help kind of separate things and cut back and forth. Yeah.

2171
01:36:05.680 --> 01:36:07.279
So but I just got the sense that it was

2172
01:36:07.319 --> 01:36:11.119
more than he just knew like something dangerous as watching me,

2173
01:36:11.439 --> 01:36:14.439
and that's like built into you to know that. So Deacon, uh,

2174
01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:16.840
you know, is just like wow, bled, like I can't

2175
01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:17.560
believe in front of you.

2176
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:19.520
Like he's kind of like a big fan like kind

2177
01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:21.479
of thing almost, And it tells him that, you know,

2178
01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:22.960
he wants to make a truce. He doesn't want to

2179
01:36:22.960 --> 01:36:24.720
fight him, He doesn't want you know, he wants to

2180
01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:26.760
be able to be able to come together and they

2181
01:36:26.800 --> 01:36:28.720
can have this you know, bond and like he can

2182
01:36:28.880 --> 01:36:31.000
use them, they can they can rule the human race together.

2183
01:36:31.079 --> 01:36:32.840
And Blade straight it was just like no, fuck you, dude.

2184
01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:34.079
Well, and he's also played to think he's like, what

2185
01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:36.439
you think the humans will ever accept you? Yeah, Like

2186
01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:39.920
I'm your shot at being accepted. Yeah, I'm the one

2187
01:36:40.119 --> 01:36:43.239
person who would believe you're totally cool with me. Yeah,

2188
01:36:43.439 --> 01:36:46.079
And even with the haircut and and.

2189
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:48.920
Blade rejects him, and Deagan gets pissed. He ends up

2190
01:36:49.039 --> 01:36:51.840
throwing the little girl across the street into a hot

2191
01:36:51.920 --> 01:36:54.319
dog cart that like just breaks apart when she hits it.

2192
01:36:54.600 --> 01:36:57.800
No, she's like, it's a full blown like slams, shatter,

2193
01:36:57.960 --> 01:37:00.840
and and so he shoots it, Deacon, and that's when.

2194
01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:02.720
We see bullet time bullet time pre matrix.

2195
01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:05.960
But also it's we have never seen a vampire do

2196
01:37:06.039 --> 01:37:09.800
that before, so it suggests that Deacon's into something. He's

2197
01:37:09.800 --> 01:37:12.199
got something going on, something's going on where he's becoming

2198
01:37:12.560 --> 01:37:13.600
really powerful.

2199
01:37:13.720 --> 01:37:15.760
Yeah, So he goes to save little girl, she was

2200
01:37:16.039 --> 01:37:17.800
hit by a bus. He saves her, He's like, you know,

2201
01:37:17.880 --> 01:37:20.000
get home. So by this point now he knows that

2202
01:37:20.079 --> 01:37:22.199
him and Deacon are going to have to have a showdown.

2203
01:37:22.279 --> 01:37:24.760
So this all leads to back to the hideout where

2204
01:37:24.880 --> 01:37:27.840
we see that Karen and Whistler are still there and

2205
01:37:28.039 --> 01:37:29.920
unfortunately Deacon and his men invade.

2206
01:37:30.159 --> 01:37:32.279
Yeah, and Whistler kicks some serious ass, but there's just

2207
01:37:32.319 --> 01:37:34.640
too many of them fucking drops that gun from the

2208
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:36.640
top of that light man. Yeah, it's just it was

2209
01:37:36.720 --> 01:37:38.479
just it was just it was one of those hanging

2210
01:37:38.800 --> 01:37:40.720
fluorescents yea, and it was just on top of it

2211
01:37:40.840 --> 01:37:44.039
was a full blown shot full of vampire killing round. Yeah.

2212
01:37:44.199 --> 01:37:45.000
And he gets a couple.

2213
01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:47.680
Karen even gets one too, but unfortunately Deacon his men

2214
01:37:47.760 --> 01:37:50.439
seize them, so Blade ends up coming back.

2215
01:37:50.600 --> 01:37:51.279
He comes back to.

2216
01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:53.560
See Whistler is covered by this bloody sheet, which I

2217
01:37:53.640 --> 01:37:56.279
love because I found out in the trivia he actually

2218
01:37:56.399 --> 01:37:58.039
is looking away because he was laughing every time he

2219
01:37:58.079 --> 01:38:00.600
pulled it down. So that's why he's doing that, like

2220
01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:03.399
it has dramatic effect in there, but yeah, every time

2221
01:38:03.439 --> 01:38:05.600
you want to do it, like either him or Christofferson

2222
01:38:05.600 --> 01:38:09.600
would start laughing apparently okay, so but yeah, Christofferson's just like,

2223
01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:12.279
you know they took Karen. You know I've I've been

2224
01:38:12.880 --> 01:38:14.680
you know, I'm I'm I'm dead, So go ahead and

2225
01:38:14.720 --> 01:38:16.680
give me your gun and then walk the fuck away

2226
01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:19.279
is basically what he says. And I love it too

2227
01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:21.760
because while Whistler's like explaining, like, you know, you got

2228
01:38:21.840 --> 01:38:24.199
to stop Deacon, he's got the pages like he's gonna summon.

2229
01:38:24.239 --> 01:38:27.239
At this point, Blade's just wiping the blood off his

2230
01:38:27.479 --> 01:38:30.640
neck and like off these spots. Yeah, as he's talking and.

2231
01:38:30.640 --> 01:38:32.560
He's trying to convince him like maybe it'll be okay,

2232
01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:35.880
these aren't so bad, and he's like, nah, maybe, Well,

2233
01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:38.479
and the saddest, sweetest part. This is the scene that

2234
01:38:38.560 --> 01:38:41.279
stuck with me forever after I first saw it. Yeah,

2235
01:38:41.720 --> 01:38:44.439
is he tells him give me your gun, and then

2236
01:38:44.439 --> 01:38:46.239
he's like, now just walk away, Like he doesn't even

2237
01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:48.119
want him to have to witness this. He's like, you've

2238
01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:48.920
seen enough.

2239
01:38:48.800 --> 01:38:51.760
Yeah, walk the fuck away. Yeah, So he walks away.

2240
01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:53.760
We hear the gunshot go off, we see the hand

2241
01:38:53.880 --> 01:38:56.520
drop with the gun. So now Blade is assembling for

2242
01:38:56.600 --> 01:38:59.560
the final showdown and he's getting all his toys together,

2243
01:38:59.640 --> 01:39:04.000
include a motorcycle that he ends up running into Deacon's building.

2244
01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:06.640
But before we get to that, there's a whole early

2245
01:39:06.720 --> 01:39:08.720
on at Deacon's party, we saw that he has this

2246
01:39:08.840 --> 01:39:11.279
coffin bed thing that you were obsessed with because it's

2247
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:11.960
like sci fi.

2248
01:39:12.640 --> 01:39:15.319
My only problem is that like lowers and locks. Yeah,

2249
01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:17.359
and I was like, again, it's a coffin, but like,

2250
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:21.560
does it serve a purpose besides just being really cool? Yeah?

2251
01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:22.359
In a white room.

2252
01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:27.079
So but this woman walked out and like put her

2253
01:39:27.079 --> 01:39:28.840
hand on Deacon. We didn't really see much of her,

2254
01:39:29.279 --> 01:39:30.800
but we just see a little bit of her early on.

2255
01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:34.680
So then they're back at this penthouse. Karen's been kidnapped obviously,

2256
01:39:35.439 --> 01:39:38.720
and Deacon kidnapping. Deacon's trying to like explain to her,

2257
01:39:38.800 --> 01:39:40.279
like you know what's going on, and Karen has no,

2258
01:39:40.520 --> 01:39:42.239
you know, no being She's just like, you know, you're

2259
01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:44.880
you're just like some two bit crime at this point,

2260
01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:48.119
like I don't crook, Yeah, stupid, And so he's just like, no,

2261
01:39:48.159 --> 01:39:49.800
I'm ahead of the fucking food chain, and like you're

2262
01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:51.600
about to learn along with the rest of the world,

2263
01:39:51.720 --> 01:39:53.840
like what my power can do. And right at this

2264
01:39:53.920 --> 01:39:55.760
point we hear that Blade is ambush in the building.

2265
01:39:55.840 --> 01:39:58.920
He runs his motorcycle through the glass, starts taking out

2266
01:39:58.960 --> 01:40:01.439
guards left and right, and cclude using the blood exploders,

2267
01:40:01.680 --> 01:40:04.039
so pops one into one guy's chest.

2268
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:07.760
Pops one very late nineties CGI.

2269
01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:11.239
Looking like Gusher's commercials, though the vampires explode like Gushers.

2270
01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:15.760
Yeah, try the new Gushers extreme him a Globin.

2271
01:40:16.319 --> 01:40:18.840
So this ends up leading Blade into that room with

2272
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:21.840
that coffin. The coffin opens revealing Blade's mom.

2273
01:40:22.119 --> 01:40:24.159
Yeah, his mother's not dead after all, and.

2274
01:40:24.279 --> 01:40:26.800
Also reveals that Deacon Frost was the one that turned

2275
01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:29.800
his mother into a vampire and essentially created Blade.

2276
01:40:29.760 --> 01:40:32.439
Which means basically pulled the Burtons Batman. Yeah, they were like,

2277
01:40:32.840 --> 01:40:35.880
uh uh, whatever I do, I'll catch who killed my parents. Well,

2278
01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:37.960
good news, the guy you're fighting did it. He did it. Yeah,

2279
01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:38.680
how convenient.

2280
01:40:38.720 --> 01:40:42.359
How convenient. So naturally, Deacon and his men come in

2281
01:40:42.399 --> 01:40:45.279
ambush Blade. They kidnap Karen and Blade once again and

2282
01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:48.319
take them to this huge temple. At this point, did they.

2283
01:40:48.279 --> 01:40:52.800
Ever establish the idea or suggest in any way that

2284
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:57.359
Deacon made Blade on purpose? No, because now that I'm

2285
01:40:57.359 --> 01:40:59.359
looking back on it, the chosen one, ale Elm and

2286
01:40:59.439 --> 01:41:01.680
others everything, because how long did he know? He might

2287
01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:03.159
have known about this stuff for a long time. Yea,

2288
01:41:03.199 --> 01:41:05.319
it's entirely could have play. And then also there's that

2289
01:41:05.399 --> 01:41:07.439
whole part earlier races like I know everything about you,

2290
01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:10.800
your mother Whistler like he's like, I'm a big fan,

2291
01:41:10.840 --> 01:41:13.920
I know everything. Party's like, maybe he's just been maybe

2292
01:41:14.039 --> 01:41:17.079
because he knew his starting point. Yeah, he could follow

2293
01:41:17.159 --> 01:41:18.560
it very well, could be so.

2294
01:41:18.760 --> 01:41:21.079
Yeah, So they take them to the Temple of Eternal

2295
01:41:21.159 --> 01:41:23.840
Night at this point, and we see Blade is taken

2296
01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:26.039
up to the top of the temple and put into

2297
01:41:26.079 --> 01:41:29.199
this chamber that basically cuts him open, drains all the

2298
01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:32.600
blood into this really articulate, like little cylinder that drains

2299
01:41:32.680 --> 01:41:34.520
down onto the twelve vampire.

2300
01:41:34.640 --> 01:41:37.640
Uh yeah, and his mother is used to basically push

2301
01:41:37.720 --> 01:41:39.920
him into into that, and she's trying to in a

2302
01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:43.319
very incestuous way, trying to convince him, like it's time

2303
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:45.439
to just be a vampire. It's time to like lean

2304
01:41:45.520 --> 01:41:48.439
into this stuff. It's a really great scene, not much

2305
01:41:48.520 --> 01:41:50.760
to talk about because it's it's just intense.

2306
01:41:50.880 --> 01:41:53.319
Yeah, and it's visually is where it's at because basically

2307
01:41:53.399 --> 01:41:55.720
the chamber closes, the blood starts going. We see so

2308
01:41:55.960 --> 01:41:59.279
many different ways of this blood is coagulating and dripping

2309
01:41:59.319 --> 01:42:01.760
down onto them. But also Karen is thrown into a

2310
01:42:01.840 --> 01:42:05.039
pit inside this temple where Curtis from the movie This

2311
01:42:05.159 --> 01:42:07.279
is I like that scene, but like it's kind of

2312
01:42:07.359 --> 01:42:08.199
a weird callback.

2313
01:42:08.359 --> 01:42:11.520
Yeah. Basically, he'd been thrown into a pit where he's

2314
01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:15.119
barely fed. He's a vampire zombie. Yeah, yeah, he'll eat anything,

2315
01:42:15.199 --> 01:42:16.239
vampires anything, And.

2316
01:42:16.319 --> 01:42:18.079
He comes at her and then she climbs up and

2317
01:42:18.159 --> 01:42:19.399
that's it, which.

2318
01:42:19.079 --> 01:42:21.920
Is important to point out though he's been a like

2319
01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:23.880
he was infected like three days ago.

2320
01:42:23.880 --> 01:42:25.600
Yeah, yeah, and he's been in this pit for three

2321
01:42:25.640 --> 01:42:26.960
days and has to figure out that he can climb

2322
01:42:26.960 --> 01:42:27.640
out just like Karen.

2323
01:42:28.000 --> 01:42:30.039
That was funny when she just kind of grabs a

2324
01:42:30.239 --> 01:42:32.359
femur bone, knocks him down and times out. But I

2325
01:42:32.399 --> 01:42:33.880
also get why she was able to beat him him

2326
01:42:33.880 --> 01:42:36.720
he's weak. Yeah, and they assume that she will not

2327
01:42:36.840 --> 01:42:39.159
be able to carry your own because she's mostly human

2328
01:42:39.439 --> 01:42:43.239
and a little tiny lady. But as I know because

2329
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:46.119
of my mother, Uh huh, you don't underestimate it, Karen,

2330
01:42:46.239 --> 01:42:48.920
You don't, You do not, Karen, Karen.

2331
01:42:49.199 --> 01:42:52.520
So also we miss too that Blade has the exploding

2332
01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:55.880
blood injections with him, and Deacon mistakes it for a serum,

2333
01:42:55.920 --> 01:42:58.199
so he throws it up into the cavern, being like, oh,

2334
01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:00.960
you're not gonna need this anymore. So the explosive cerems

2335
01:43:00.960 --> 01:43:03.399
are resting inside the cavern not too far of his

2336
01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:05.800
read so keep that in mind. Oh yes, yes, so,

2337
01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:08.000
but yeah, they end up going through the ritual. We

2338
01:43:08.079 --> 01:43:10.560
see the blood dripped down onto the twelve Disciples.

2339
01:43:11.359 --> 01:43:15.239
Yeah, that Deacon's girlfriend kills one of the disciples out

2340
01:43:15.239 --> 01:43:17.560
of anger earlier, and then nothing seems to come of it,

2341
01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:19.439
like they still everything still works, And I was like,

2342
01:43:20.159 --> 01:43:22.119
I thought they had to have each one but she

2343
01:43:22.319 --> 01:43:24.760
like kills him with blade sword. Yeah, like you know,

2344
01:43:24.960 --> 01:43:27.840
turns into ashes, turns to ashes. Yeah. So that part

2345
01:43:27.920 --> 01:43:29.640
confused the shit out of me. Oh yeah, wait, but

2346
01:43:29.920 --> 01:43:31.520
how does it still work when like one of the

2347
01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:34.359
main guys is gone. Yeah, I mean Deacon Frost.

2348
01:43:34.600 --> 01:43:36.680
Uh, he has a lot, like you've already said, he

2349
01:43:36.720 --> 01:43:38.720
has a lot in common with Joker's henchman kind of thing.

2350
01:43:38.840 --> 01:43:40.760
Like there's a lot of that similarity there.

2351
01:43:40.960 --> 01:43:43.199
Yeah, he has a lot kind of Joker coding in

2352
01:43:43.319 --> 01:43:45.840
some ways. But he's not crazy, not crazy, but in fact,

2353
01:43:45.960 --> 01:43:47.880
one of the funny things. And i'll since we're getting

2354
01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:51.000
to the thrilling conclusion, yeah, I'll mention I knew a

2355
01:43:51.119 --> 01:43:54.079
lot of people when I was growing up who were

2356
01:43:54.199 --> 01:43:56.119
obsessed with Deacon Frost.

2357
01:43:56.199 --> 01:43:56.840
Oh I could see that.

2358
01:43:57.760 --> 01:44:01.319
I knew a very cringey dude who insisted his nickname

2359
01:44:01.399 --> 01:44:05.880
b Frost. Okay, he grew up to be David Denyer.

2360
01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:08.119
No I'm kill you. No, No, I I know Draven,

2361
01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:11.680
I know you weren't you weren't Deacon Frost Draven? Uh No,

2362
01:44:11.880 --> 01:44:17.439
But uh, one thing about Deacon he's not I mean,

2363
01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:20.680
I don't find him to be very cool. He's a

2364
01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:24.840
petulant child. Yeah, that's probably the biggest you know, kind

2365
01:44:24.880 --> 01:44:27.199
of character trade he has. Other than being very smart, he.

2366
01:44:27.319 --> 01:44:29.520
Literally gets out smart and super simply in my opinion,

2367
01:44:29.680 --> 01:44:30.960
like that's avarice.

2368
01:44:31.039 --> 01:44:33.359
I mean, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's he denies that

2369
01:44:33.479 --> 01:44:36.000
he can because he's fulfilling a prophecy and all this stuff.

2370
01:44:36.119 --> 01:44:37.880
I mean, that's that's a fair point. But I mean,

2371
01:44:37.960 --> 01:44:39.800
like he's smart as in he was able to research

2372
01:44:39.800 --> 01:44:41.760
all this stuff, he was able to get everybody together

2373
01:44:41.760 --> 01:44:43.560
the way was he had like a plan for everything.

2374
01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:47.760
But he's also just this petulant, me, me me, narcissistic child. Yea.

2375
01:44:47.960 --> 01:44:50.640
And even some of the elder vampires say, like, you

2376
01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:53.000
are all going to die if he when he does

2377
01:44:53.079 --> 01:44:55.399
what he's going to do. Yeah, like you'll be no different.

2378
01:44:55.520 --> 01:44:57.000
Well, I love the fact that, like, so when the

2379
01:44:57.000 --> 01:44:59.239
bloods are driving on the on the elder vampires, you know,

2380
01:44:59.319 --> 01:45:01.119
they start having like the whole cursed.

2381
01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:03.920
Thing happened to them. But the fucking demons that literally

2382
01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:06.359
like open their their skeleton angels.

2383
01:45:06.439 --> 01:45:08.520
Yeah, skeleton angel like skin their mouths and.

2384
01:45:08.680 --> 01:45:12.640
Fly out of flying with no uh no wing. I

2385
01:45:12.640 --> 01:45:15.479
mean their wings are bones, but it's really awesome looking,

2386
01:45:15.560 --> 01:45:17.840
even for you know, Cgi of that era. It looks

2387
01:45:17.880 --> 01:45:20.319
pretty awesome. And they're spinning around, flying around, they start

2388
01:45:20.359 --> 01:45:23.199
flying through Deacon giving him their power. Yeah.

2389
01:45:23.640 --> 01:45:25.560
So by this point, Karen has gotten back to Blade.

2390
01:45:25.600 --> 01:45:27.319
She's opened the chamber up and she's like, you know,

2391
01:45:27.439 --> 01:45:30.239
feet on me, like get your power back. So Blade

2392
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:32.560
ends up, you know, feeding on her, and by this point,

2393
01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:35.119
Frost has completely transitioned into Lemagra.

2394
01:45:35.239 --> 01:45:36.720
Well there's a great part where somebody goes Frost, he

2395
01:45:36.800 --> 01:45:38.439
goes not not anymore. Yeah.

2396
01:45:39.039 --> 01:45:42.319
So uh and of course, naturally with Blade being Blade,

2397
01:45:42.359 --> 01:45:45.119
he has to shout Frost's name several times as he's

2398
01:45:45.159 --> 01:45:46.039
trying to get to him.

2399
01:45:46.159 --> 01:45:48.720
I kept imagining that, like he's like punching of Frost,

2400
01:45:48.840 --> 01:45:50.840
punching guy Frost, punching guy Frost.

2401
01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:54.319
So the gets down to gets down to Frost, but

2402
01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:57.119
at first Quinn has to come to him, which Quinn

2403
01:45:57.239 --> 01:45:59.199
thinking that he can hit him with a knife and

2404
01:45:59.279 --> 01:46:01.359
that's gonna do the thing, whereas Blade just takes a

2405
01:46:01.439 --> 01:46:04.640
line and decapitates him to get his sunglasses back, as

2406
01:46:04.680 --> 01:46:06.239
the techno music soars.

2407
01:46:06.119 --> 01:46:08.279
Damn right, yeah, And once he puts the sunglasses on

2408
01:46:08.359 --> 01:46:10.159
you're like, I it's time.

2409
01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:13.600
So he starts laying waste of frostmen once again, and

2410
01:46:13.800 --> 01:46:16.319
you know he's doing the sword tricks. Karen's also fighting

2411
01:46:16.399 --> 01:46:19.439
Mercury upstairs, which he ends up having a really awesome

2412
01:46:19.560 --> 01:46:20.720
kick and killing her ass.

2413
01:46:20.960 --> 01:46:23.239
Yeah she does sticker and then kicked the kick it

2414
01:46:23.319 --> 01:46:23.760
in deeper.

2415
01:46:23.920 --> 01:46:26.880
Yeah yeah, so so yeah, Karen deals with Mercury, and

2416
01:46:27.079 --> 01:46:31.199
eventually Frost and Blade have their face off, and Blade,

2417
01:46:31.239 --> 01:46:34.680
apparently not realizing how powerful Frost is, goes to cut

2418
01:46:34.800 --> 01:46:36.640
him in his arm, then cuts him at the waist

2419
01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:39.159
and we see the blood reconnect and come back, and

2420
01:46:39.279 --> 01:46:41.760
Blade has the turnaround of yeah.

2421
01:46:41.800 --> 01:46:44.840
He mouths mouths yeah, which when when I when I

2422
01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:48.720
saw that, I was like, for real, yeah, And I

2423
01:46:48.880 --> 01:46:51.680
want to say. All I can think of from Deacon

2424
01:46:52.399 --> 01:46:55.800
is when he like like falls apart that sucks back together.

2425
01:46:55.840 --> 01:47:01.000
It might be a virtuosity oh yea, which uh phenomenal

2426
01:47:01.279 --> 01:47:01.840
I love. Yeah.

2427
01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:04.520
So naturally, Blade is realizing what he has to do,

2428
01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:08.119
so he sees that his injection his blood syringes are

2429
01:47:08.159 --> 01:47:10.119
up there, so he throws the sword up. The sword

2430
01:47:10.159 --> 01:47:12.560
does the little thing that the trap and kicks the

2431
01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:16.000
rocks down. He catches them and just starts throwing them

2432
01:47:16.039 --> 01:47:19.000
into Deacon as Deacon leaps up in the air, comes down,

2433
01:47:19.079 --> 01:47:21.479
and Deacon has his own Gusher's moment as he just

2434
01:47:21.560 --> 01:47:24.159
becomes a huge creature and then blows up. But right

2435
01:47:24.199 --> 01:47:26.520
before he does that, my favorite line from Blade is

2436
01:47:26.880 --> 01:47:29.119
some of the fuckers always trying to ice skate up hill.

2437
01:47:29.159 --> 01:47:32.159
Which I've heard that repeated for you know, for a

2438
01:47:32.279 --> 01:47:33.399
joke so many times.

2439
01:47:33.520 --> 01:47:37.600
Yeah, so Deacon fucking explodes, and you know that is

2440
01:47:37.640 --> 01:47:40.520
the end of Deacon Frost. Blade and Karen leave the

2441
01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:43.159
temple together, and then we cut to basically the epilogue,

2442
01:47:43.159 --> 01:47:46.239
which is that Karen is like, you know, let's get

2443
01:47:46.279 --> 01:47:47.439
back to the heigh out. We'll try the cure, and

2444
01:47:47.479 --> 01:47:49.840
Blade's like, now I've still got work to do, leaves

2445
01:47:49.880 --> 01:47:50.520
it or yeah, go.

2446
01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:53.600
Well, we forgot to mention because it's so much happened

2447
01:47:53.640 --> 01:47:56.039
to that little bit when she says like I have

2448
01:47:56.199 --> 01:47:58.800
this cure that will hopefully work, she has to warn

2449
01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:02.199
She's like, you won't be even a day walker anymore.

2450
01:48:02.239 --> 01:48:04.560
You would just be a human. Yeah, and that's why

2451
01:48:04.600 --> 01:48:06.560
he's saying, like, I've got more work to do. Yeah,

2452
01:48:07.039 --> 01:48:09.119
you know, I can't I can't stop being a day

2453
01:48:09.199 --> 01:48:11.840
walker because I've got to kill all these vampires. So

2454
01:48:11.960 --> 01:48:13.039
we cut over to Moscow.

2455
01:48:13.199 --> 01:48:15.239
There's a man and a woman walking in a nice

2456
01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:18.960
snowy a night in Moscow and he we see a vampire.

2457
01:48:19.039 --> 01:48:20.920
I didn't notice. This is the first my notices the

2458
01:48:21.000 --> 01:48:23.600
vampire symbol is on that building. Oh yeah, yeah yeah,

2459
01:48:23.680 --> 01:48:24.600
so naturally.

2460
01:48:24.840 --> 01:48:26.640
It's hard to see. Everything's blue, but it's red. Yeah,

2461
01:48:26.640 --> 01:48:29.279
so it doesn't stick out at all. So the woman gets.

2462
01:48:29.119 --> 01:48:31.279
Grabbed by the throat and the dude's vamping out, and

2463
01:48:31.359 --> 01:48:33.199
that's when we hear Blade go, do I catch it

2464
01:48:33.279 --> 01:48:33.720
a bad time?

2465
01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:36.840
Comrade? And Blade starts charging in Russian? Yes? Is it

2466
01:48:36.880 --> 01:48:37.359
in Russian?

2467
01:48:37.840 --> 01:48:40.319
So they start charging each other, and that is nineteen

2468
01:48:40.439 --> 01:48:41.680
ninety eight Blade.

2469
01:48:45.560 --> 01:48:50.600
No, it's like some of those later like Stallone movies.

2470
01:48:50.680 --> 01:48:53.199
It kicks ass to the point of being funny. Oh yeah,

2471
01:48:53.439 --> 01:48:55.760
Like like at some point You're like, Wow, this guy's

2472
01:48:55.800 --> 01:49:00.239
such a badass that I'm laughing, like Cobra Coke. There

2473
01:49:00.279 --> 01:49:03.000
were multiple times where Stallone's so cool in that that

2474
01:49:03.119 --> 01:49:06.000
it's funny. It's not even cool any it's hilarious. But

2475
01:49:06.119 --> 01:49:09.279
I I love Blade. I've always loved Snipes. I felt

2476
01:49:09.319 --> 01:49:13.079
that he's I think even with how popular he was,

2477
01:49:13.119 --> 01:49:15.079
I think he was still underrated. Oh yeah, I think

2478
01:49:15.119 --> 01:49:17.479
that even when he was the most sought after movie star,

2479
01:49:17.600 --> 01:49:19.880
he was still underrated.

2480
01:49:19.960 --> 01:49:21.760
One of my favorite roles of his is like one

2481
01:49:21.760 --> 01:49:24.520
of his big out break rolls is out Break, big

2482
01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:27.840
breakout rolls, major league him is Willie May's Hayes.

2483
01:49:28.119 --> 01:49:32.359
No, he's so, he's so good when he's subtle. But Blade,

2484
01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:35.119
he just owned it, you know, down to the to

2485
01:49:35.239 --> 01:49:38.560
the bone. Yeah. And I really was impressed because it

2486
01:49:38.600 --> 01:49:41.159
had been a very long time since I saw Blade.

2487
01:49:41.399 --> 01:49:43.119
I think I've only seen Blade one. I've seen two

2488
01:49:43.199 --> 01:49:45.000
as well, but I don't think I saw Blade Trinity.

2489
01:49:45.039 --> 01:49:46.840
And I keep hearing you know anything, So I mean

2490
01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:49.000
we'll watch it something, Oh, yes, we will. So would

2491
01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:51.159
you like to guess what the budget was on Blade?

2492
01:49:51.600 --> 01:49:51.760
Uh?

2493
01:49:53.359 --> 01:49:53.960
Forty five?

2494
01:49:54.079 --> 01:49:57.359
Forty five on the nose the nose, no way, yeah, forty.

2495
01:49:58.000 --> 01:50:00.000
For the record, I did not cheat. Yeah, I wouldn't

2496
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:02.920
if I had had knowledge. That was just guessed on

2497
01:50:03.159 --> 01:50:06.000
the era and what they used to spend on blockbusters

2498
01:50:06.039 --> 01:50:10.640
that weren't Terminator Too or or whatever. So and and

2499
01:50:10.760 --> 01:50:14.399
also like Weirdly enough, the blockbusters that were somewhat of

2500
01:50:14.399 --> 01:50:16.279
a surprise surprise, I mean, Blade was gonna be a

2501
01:50:16.319 --> 01:50:18.600
big movie. Yeah, tended to not be one hundred million

2502
01:50:18.640 --> 01:50:20.800
dollar movies. They tended to be still in that like

2503
01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:22.439
safer target.

2504
01:50:22.560 --> 01:50:22.760
Yeah.

2505
01:50:22.800 --> 01:50:23.760
Yeah, wow, I can't.

2506
01:50:23.560 --> 01:50:25.520
Believe I nailed it so far forty five million on

2507
01:50:25.520 --> 01:50:27.960
the nose opening weekend, which is August twenty third of

2508
01:50:28.039 --> 01:50:30.680
ninety eight. It goes and makes seventeen million, grossing in

2509
01:50:30.800 --> 01:50:34.079
US and Canada seventy million, and ends up grossing worldwide

2510
01:50:34.079 --> 01:50:35.960
one hundred and thirty one million dollars.

2511
01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:38.319
Wow. So it was a hit well, and it's important

2512
01:50:38.319 --> 01:50:40.520
to keep in mind in this era too. It probably

2513
01:50:40.640 --> 01:50:44.279
made you know, four million bookou on video well and

2514
01:50:44.359 --> 01:50:47.840
pay per view. Yeah, that's something you know, people forget about. Yeah,

2515
01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:49.560
there used to be. Do you ever You probably never

2516
01:50:49.680 --> 01:50:50.279
ordered pay per view?

2517
01:50:50.319 --> 01:50:52.239
Oh we didn't match Adams. No, no, no, no, we

2518
01:50:52.279 --> 01:50:54.039
had we had to call the box in and we

2519
01:50:54.159 --> 01:50:54.880
had to we had to.

2520
01:50:54.880 --> 01:50:58.000
Wait till the time. Oh yeah, wow, Okay, I thought

2521
01:50:58.159 --> 01:50:58.640
I thought.

2522
01:50:58.439 --> 01:51:00.359
You were too you were too young that we saw

2523
01:51:00.439 --> 01:51:02.439
patch Adams. I remember one of my.

2524
01:51:02.479 --> 01:51:04.840
Favorite times they used to they introduced this thing later

2525
01:51:04.960 --> 01:51:07.800
on before on demand became a thing where you would

2526
01:51:07.800 --> 01:51:09.560
just pay and we'd give you twenty four hours of

2527
01:51:09.600 --> 01:51:12.439
the channel that laded the movie. I saw Spice World

2528
01:51:13.039 --> 01:51:17.319
so many times in a one twenty four hour period.

2529
01:51:17.359 --> 01:51:18.920
I just got switched into the channel and going out

2530
01:51:18.920 --> 01:51:20.439
watch Spice Work. Did you did you ever?

2531
01:51:20.560 --> 01:51:20.600
Have?

2532
01:51:21.000 --> 01:51:22.920
You had the scrambled of guessing the scrambled at one

2533
01:51:22.960 --> 01:51:24.960
point so you could actually like hear the movie, but

2534
01:51:25.359 --> 01:51:25.920
like yeah.

2535
01:51:26.079 --> 01:51:28.800
Say yeah, except for the one channel. Everybody went to

2536
01:51:28.960 --> 01:51:30.920
that one, the one they didn't let the sound beyond it. No,

2537
01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:33.960
they didn't let that one. So body counts eighty eight?

2538
01:51:34.319 --> 01:51:34.760
Oh Wow.

2539
01:51:35.640 --> 01:51:38.439
The shooting starts in February fifth of nineteen ninety seven,

2540
01:51:38.560 --> 01:51:40.920
wraps June sixth, and now you say Hey, my birthday Hey.

2541
01:51:41.880 --> 01:51:46.239
Shot in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California, London, England, Moscow, Russia,

2542
01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:47.600
and Vancouver, Canada.

2543
01:51:47.960 --> 01:51:48.199
Wow.

2544
01:51:49.079 --> 01:51:51.399
Blade first appeared in the comic The Tomb of Dracula

2545
01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:54.479
number ten, which was July of nineteen seventy three. In

2546
01:51:54.600 --> 01:51:57.359
the comics, Blade's mother was a prostitute named Tara Brooks

2547
01:51:57.399 --> 01:52:00.159
and was killed by Deacon Frost during Eric's birth. She

2548
01:52:00.279 --> 01:52:01.399
never becomes a vampire.

2549
01:52:01.479 --> 01:52:05.119
Though well that's uh, at least that was always the

2550
01:52:05.239 --> 01:52:07.880
convenience of this of the because I'm pretty sure Joker

2551
01:52:08.039 --> 01:52:10.880
didn't kill No Batman's parents in the comics. Ever, in the.

2552
01:52:10.920 --> 01:52:13.840
Original Marvel comic storyline, the character of Blade was English,

2553
01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:14.600
not American.

2554
01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:15.159
Ah.

2555
01:52:16.319 --> 01:52:18.359
When David as Goyer first pitched the idea of doing

2556
01:52:18.399 --> 01:52:20.600
a Blade movie, the executives a New Line felt there

2557
01:52:20.600 --> 01:52:22.680
were only three actors who could possibly do the role,

2558
01:52:22.960 --> 01:52:27.000
Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington, and Lawrence Fishburne. But in Goyer's mind,

2559
01:52:27.039 --> 01:52:29.479
Snipes was always the perfect choice for the character of Blade.

2560
01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:33.600
Yeah, I think Denzel, it wouldn't work well Denzel would

2561
01:52:33.680 --> 01:52:35.960
You would have to change it because he can play

2562
01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:40.000
a badass. But yes, he's always believable. I don't I

2563
01:52:40.600 --> 01:52:42.479
don't know if I've seen him go big.

2564
01:52:42.720 --> 01:52:44.960
He goes big a little bit at the end of Ricochet,

2565
01:52:45.159 --> 01:52:46.079
but that's really about it.

2566
01:52:46.920 --> 01:52:50.800
I mean big, like like being Blade or because like

2567
01:52:50.880 --> 01:52:53.960
even when he's the equalizer, he's still like you believe

2568
01:52:54.600 --> 01:52:55.359
that he's a guy.

2569
01:52:55.920 --> 01:52:59.199
And I mean as far as Laurence fishburn goesurn, Fishburne

2570
01:52:59.319 --> 01:53:01.479
has the chop, I mean deep cover is a movie

2571
01:53:01.560 --> 01:53:03.560
I cannot recommend enough if you want to see how

2572
01:53:03.640 --> 01:53:04.560
good Fishburn can be.

2573
01:53:04.800 --> 01:53:08.359
Yeah, I think that no, no offense to Fishburn. He's

2574
01:53:08.520 --> 01:53:11.840
just not fit like that. Like he's a big, tall,

2575
01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:15.560
tough guy. I just if Blade was was meant to

2576
01:53:15.680 --> 01:53:20.399
be the agile, like super martial arts guy, it's just

2577
01:53:20.479 --> 01:53:22.439
not not Fishburn. Yeah, that's all I mean. Like, if

2578
01:53:22.479 --> 01:53:27.079
Blade were more like the Punisher, yeah, then I could

2579
01:53:27.079 --> 01:53:30.319
see Fishburn. But but Blade is is he's so acrobatic,

2580
01:53:30.439 --> 01:53:33.560
and Snipe's having his experience with martial arts, and yeah,

2581
01:53:33.600 --> 01:53:36.000
Snipes is so clearly the one you.

2582
01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:37.520
Know who could have done it. But I mean it

2583
01:53:37.720 --> 01:53:40.960
was probably not the right time. Mario van Peebles, I

2584
01:53:41.000 --> 01:53:42.359
feel like people could do a good you know.

2585
01:53:42.600 --> 01:53:45.439
I think in an alternate timeline where Blade only does

2586
01:53:45.520 --> 01:53:47.640
fifty five million at the box office, yeah, and then

2587
01:53:47.720 --> 01:53:50.640
gets a direct to video sequel, it's Van Peebles in

2588
01:53:50.720 --> 01:53:53.279
like two thousand and one, and we'd be doing a

2589
01:53:53.359 --> 01:53:55.960
podcast about like those peoples was are underrated? Pretty good,

2590
01:53:55.960 --> 01:53:56.920
it'd be us pretty good.

2591
01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:00.439
Jet Lee was offered the part of Deacon Frost opted

2592
01:54:00.479 --> 01:54:03.600
to do Lethal Weapon four instead. Skeet Ulrich lobbied hard

2593
01:54:03.640 --> 01:54:05.800
for the role of Deacon Frost, but eventually was turned down.

2594
01:54:06.119 --> 01:54:08.239
Wow, ske would have done all right, He had done fine.

2595
01:54:08.640 --> 01:54:12.159
Stephen Dorff modeled Frost on several other villains, especially Jack

2596
01:54:12.199 --> 01:54:14.239
Nicholson's Joker in nineteen eighty nine Batman.

2597
01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:16.039
There is that part way goes wait till they get

2598
01:54:16.079 --> 01:54:18.000
a load of vampire me.

2599
01:54:19.199 --> 01:54:22.319
Chris Kossoftson's character Whistler, was created for Blade's cameo on

2600
01:54:22.479 --> 01:54:25.199
Spider Man the Animated series in nineteen ninety four. He

2601
01:54:25.399 --> 01:54:27.640
was liked so much by Marvel ceo that he was

2602
01:54:27.680 --> 01:54:29.239
adopted into the Marvel universe.

2603
01:54:29.720 --> 01:54:30.000
Wow.

2604
01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:32.119
Yeah, so the Spider Man the cartoon is where he

2605
01:54:32.159 --> 01:54:32.520
came from.

2606
01:54:32.920 --> 01:54:33.640
Wow okay.

2607
01:54:34.000 --> 01:54:36.800
Wesley Snipes was interested in doing a Blade movie adaptation

2608
01:54:36.960 --> 01:54:39.279
of Black or excuse me, a movie adaptation of Black

2609
01:54:39.319 --> 01:54:42.359
Panther comics. When he was offered the project, he said

2610
01:54:42.359 --> 01:54:44.760
that he was unfamiliar with Blade comics, seeing more of

2611
01:54:44.800 --> 01:54:47.279
a connection to the blaxplotation here is in the nineteen seventies.

2612
01:54:47.319 --> 01:54:49.680
I just approached him as this really cool character where

2613
01:54:49.680 --> 01:54:51.680
I'd get to do martial arts and wear a leather suit,

2614
01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:52.359
he said.

2615
01:54:52.439 --> 01:54:55.239
I mean, and he nailed it. Well, but I think

2616
01:54:55.279 --> 01:54:57.880
that's what helped Blade so much, because in a time

2617
01:54:57.960 --> 01:55:02.119
period where superhero movies were occasional hits. Yeah, you know,

2618
01:55:02.239 --> 01:55:06.319
Batman was unusual. Superman was a thing until it wasn't

2619
01:55:06.880 --> 01:55:09.479
so much, you know. Really, Spider Man was the first

2620
01:55:09.520 --> 01:55:12.760
one to kind of break that mold after after only

2621
01:55:12.840 --> 01:55:15.119
Batman was able to really make it happen in the nineties.

2622
01:55:15.159 --> 01:55:15.560
Oh yeah.

2623
01:55:15.760 --> 01:55:19.920
So I think that Blade not being an outwardly superhero

2624
01:55:20.199 --> 01:55:22.800
and more just an action movie, I think that actually

2625
01:55:22.840 --> 01:55:25.479
helped a lot. And it's a testament to Snipes. Yeah,

2626
01:55:25.520 --> 01:55:28.319
because no, I'm sure some people came into it going

2627
01:55:28.399 --> 01:55:30.520
like I read the comic. Yeah, but like our buddy

2628
01:55:30.560 --> 01:55:32.520
Jeff and that probably probably that's the only the one person.

2629
01:55:32.680 --> 01:55:36.359
But so Snipes being able to look at that and

2630
01:55:36.479 --> 01:55:39.159
be like, I'm a badass action star I can make

2631
01:55:39.319 --> 01:55:40.439
I can make Blade awesome.

2632
01:55:40.560 --> 01:55:43.359
Yeah he did, he did, No, he absolutely did. Wesley

2633
01:55:43.359 --> 01:55:45.399
Snipes was a fan of Hong Kong Martial Arts films

2634
01:55:45.439 --> 01:55:47.039
and wanted the film to have that kind of action,

2635
01:55:47.159 --> 01:55:48.520
which I think they nailed pretty well.

2636
01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:49.239
Yeah, I would say so.

2637
01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:52.159
An updated the Vampire Lore, Stephen Norington and David S

2638
01:55:52.279 --> 01:55:55.560
Goyer decided crosses wouldn't work against vampires, citing what if

2639
01:55:55.560 --> 01:55:58.039
a vampire was Jewish, why would a cross work against him?

2640
01:55:58.319 --> 01:56:01.520
And then John Carpenter was like, hold my dollar. Bill.

2641
01:56:02.359 --> 01:56:04.680
Karen was originally going to be played by a white actress,

2642
01:56:04.720 --> 01:56:07.039
but Wesley Snipes encouraged them to cast a black actress

2643
01:56:07.079 --> 01:56:09.960
for the role. Stephen Norenton and David A. Sgoyer called

2644
01:56:10.000 --> 01:56:12.920
the scene between Karen and Curtis a melrose Place segment,

2645
01:56:13.239 --> 01:56:16.039
placing a doll romantic segment in to law the audience

2646
01:56:16.079 --> 01:56:18.520
into false sense of security. The studio wanted to cut

2647
01:56:18.560 --> 01:56:20.399
the scene, but creators spot for it and it got

2648
01:56:20.439 --> 01:56:24.439
the strongest reactions at test screenings. It's in and it

2649
01:56:24.560 --> 01:56:24.960
stayed in.

2650
01:56:25.520 --> 01:56:28.640
Here's my take real quick on Karen being black. Yeah,

2651
01:56:29.279 --> 01:56:31.359
I think that the reason that I mean, aside from

2652
01:56:31.399 --> 01:56:33.399
the actress is really good obviously, but I think the

2653
01:56:33.479 --> 01:56:38.960
reason that works is it really helps her remind him

2654
01:56:39.520 --> 01:56:42.479
and the audience of his mother. Yeah. Absolutely, a woman

2655
01:56:42.520 --> 01:56:45.640
who was bitten and didn't want as far as he knew,

2656
01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:48.399
didn't want to be a vampire, and then was lost

2657
01:56:48.600 --> 01:56:52.560
to the world. I really feel like that that gave

2658
01:56:52.600 --> 01:56:55.000
it that extra oom where she because she never she

2659
01:56:55.159 --> 01:56:59.039
never felt like just a love interest. If actually barely

2660
01:56:59.079 --> 01:57:00.640
felt like a love interest in a lot of ways.

2661
01:57:01.399 --> 01:57:05.720
And I like that because Blade is way single minded

2662
01:57:06.199 --> 01:57:08.840
killing all vampires. And no, that's one of the charms

2663
01:57:08.880 --> 01:57:11.560
of him is that he just that's what he does,

2664
01:57:11.640 --> 01:57:13.239
what he does. I mean, that's what he does what

2665
01:57:13.279 --> 01:57:13.520
he does.

2666
01:57:13.600 --> 01:57:16.720
Well, when Karen first meets Whistler, Blade can be seen

2667
01:57:16.760 --> 01:57:18.800
holding a map of New Orleans. This is not only

2668
01:57:18.840 --> 01:57:21.119
implies the city they are in, it is an homage

2669
01:57:21.159 --> 01:57:23.159
to the comic books. Many stories in the Blade series

2670
01:57:23.199 --> 01:57:24.039
occur in New Orleans.

2671
01:57:24.279 --> 01:57:27.119
Well, New Orleans was a popular place to set vampires

2672
01:57:27.159 --> 01:57:30.239
a lot because of like the the combo of voodoo

2673
01:57:30.319 --> 01:57:34.039
hoodoo culture and yeah, yeah, and Rice's books and the

2674
01:57:34.079 --> 01:57:37.960
idea of like this, like and the the the combination

2675
01:57:38.079 --> 01:57:41.640
of like the plantations with the zombies, because zombies, the

2676
01:57:41.720 --> 01:57:45.239
original voodoo zombies were slaves. So there's a lot there

2677
01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:48.920
that makes sense for ever. And also it's just those

2678
01:57:49.439 --> 01:57:52.880
those big plantation mansions and swamps are just cool cemeteries

2679
01:57:52.920 --> 01:57:54.760
that have the bodies above the ground. Yeah, and and

2680
01:57:55.159 --> 01:57:57.880
new and New Orleans, downtown New Orleans, Like it's really

2681
01:57:57.960 --> 01:58:00.239
cool looking. There's a lot to to to that.

2682
01:58:00.399 --> 01:58:02.119
Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, they've got a fucking vampire

2683
01:58:02.159 --> 01:58:02.680
and red dead.

2684
01:58:02.920 --> 01:58:04.880
Well, I mean well, and well they put in Noose

2685
01:58:04.920 --> 01:58:08.880
Faratu basically, but yeah, yeah, it's it's all about that.

2686
01:58:09.000 --> 01:58:11.520
And plus I mean, you know, it was New Orleans

2687
01:58:11.600 --> 01:58:13.039
so good they put bad Lieutenant there.

2688
01:58:13.319 --> 01:58:17.079
I love New Orleans. In the scene way where Blade

2689
01:58:17.119 --> 01:58:19.279
is chased to the subway, the subway train passing by.

2690
01:58:19.399 --> 01:58:21.960
All the passengers are cardboard cutouts with special effects man

2691
01:58:22.079 --> 01:58:22.560
among them.

2692
01:58:23.079 --> 01:58:24.319
That's funny. Yeah, okay.

2693
01:58:24.600 --> 01:58:27.439
Stephen Norenton stated in the cause of Pearl's ob size

2694
01:58:27.520 --> 01:58:30.439
was a creature creature gaining a cannibalistic lust for infants

2695
01:58:30.479 --> 01:58:32.239
and children, as he loves to eat their hearts.

2696
01:58:32.840 --> 01:58:33.079
Ew.

2697
01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:36.000
Yeah, Pearl was so large that the set had to

2698
01:58:36.079 --> 01:58:38.439
be built around him. It was about seven hundred pounds

2699
01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:41.000
of latex skin that had to be moved from a forklift.

2700
01:58:41.079 --> 01:58:43.640
It took four people to perform, one at the head,

2701
01:58:43.840 --> 01:58:46.840
one at each arm, one operating the feet. He's surrounded

2702
01:58:46.880 --> 01:58:49.359
by the use of blood bags and debris, but originally

2703
01:58:49.399 --> 01:58:52.119
they wanted dead children scattered around as well, seeing as

2704
01:58:52.159 --> 01:58:54.199
Pearl was too big to move. Around easily and would

2705
01:58:54.239 --> 01:58:54.920
need easy way.

2706
01:58:55.800 --> 01:59:01.479
Gross. People don't think about enough what a massive change

2707
01:59:01.520 --> 01:59:06.880
it was when silicone became easy to use makeup option.

2708
01:59:07.439 --> 01:59:11.159
When everything was made out of latex, things were really heavy.

2709
01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:13.600
Oh yeah, crazy heavy.

2710
01:59:13.680 --> 01:59:16.520
Yeah, a great Many handheld shots were accomplished with a

2711
01:59:16.520 --> 01:59:19.800
special anamorphic lens camera that also had single unit sound,

2712
01:59:20.000 --> 01:59:21.399
only one of its kind in the world.

2713
01:59:21.720 --> 01:59:25.319
Single unit sound, that's what it says. I don't know

2714
01:59:25.359 --> 01:59:27.399
what that means because they didn't record sound on film,

2715
01:59:27.479 --> 01:59:29.560
and that's I mean, that was a thing that stopped

2716
01:59:29.600 --> 01:59:30.680
in the sixties.

2717
01:59:30.800 --> 01:59:31.960
Take it up at Charles IMDb.

2718
01:59:32.239 --> 01:59:34.600
I you know, I will chuck, I'm coming.

2719
01:59:34.960 --> 01:59:36.880
Blade spins and leaves onto a ledge. But it was

2720
01:59:36.920 --> 01:59:39.199
a tricky move. They shot nearly ten tags, but each

2721
01:59:39.279 --> 01:59:41.399
time his body bounced on the wall and he missed

2722
01:59:41.640 --> 01:59:43.880
catching the thin ledge. They resolve the issue by having

2723
01:59:43.880 --> 01:59:45.600
snipe stunt double stick the landing.

2724
01:59:46.439 --> 01:59:47.720
I mean, that's what he's for. Yeah.

2725
01:59:48.199 --> 01:59:50.640
The scene where Quinn attacks Karen in the hospital corridor

2726
01:59:50.760 --> 01:59:53.079
features lots of screaming, but they knew something was wrong

2727
01:59:53.079 --> 01:59:56.119
when Log started screaming too. During the tussle, he felt

2728
01:59:56.159 --> 01:59:59.800
his face He fell face first onto the hard floor

2729
01:59:59.840 --> 02:00:03.159
and completely dislodged his jaw. He had it broken in

2730
02:00:03.159 --> 02:00:05.640
an accident years prior, and opening his mouth too wide

2731
02:00:05.680 --> 02:00:08.199
and too fast caused it to unhinge. They were filming

2732
02:00:08.239 --> 02:00:10.119
it in an abandoned hospital, but had to rush to

2733
02:00:10.239 --> 02:00:12.600
a real one. But I've got this guy whose dresses

2734
02:00:12.600 --> 02:00:15.000
a third degree burn victim, essentially naked, running in with

2735
02:00:15.079 --> 02:00:17.439
his jaw hanging down. The room cleared out pretty fast.

2736
02:00:18.479 --> 02:00:21.479
Where was that? I mean, because I know they filmed,

2737
02:00:21.600 --> 02:00:23.640
I'm assuming that the interiors are mostly Vancouver.

2738
02:00:23.720 --> 02:00:24.319
That's I'm guessing.

2739
02:00:24.520 --> 02:00:27.319
Yeah, wow, that's a hell of an afternose goes I

2740
02:00:27.359 --> 02:00:29.439
it was La. You know, a lot of them be like, yeah, yeah,

2741
02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:31.159
you're making a movie. But in vangcas over there probably like,

2742
02:00:31.399 --> 02:00:32.520
oh dear, what's all this?

2743
02:00:32.640 --> 02:00:35.279
Then Quinna originally had a much smaller rule, but Donald

2744
02:00:35.319 --> 02:00:37.640
Log was so funny on set that his character was

2745
02:00:37.680 --> 02:00:39.640
expanded and he was allowed to add lib a good

2746
02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:41.640
portion of his dialogue, which you can tell if you

2747
02:00:41.720 --> 02:00:42.159
yeah him.

2748
02:00:42.359 --> 02:00:42.760
Oh yeah.

2749
02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:46.000
While discussing the character Deacon Frost, Wesley Snipe described him

2750
02:00:46.039 --> 02:00:48.600
as kind of a guy who ice skated uphill. Stephen

2751
02:00:48.640 --> 02:00:50.840
Norington and David aes Gooyer loved the phrase so much

2752
02:00:50.920 --> 02:00:51.920
they worked it into the film.

2753
02:00:52.119 --> 02:00:54.079
Nice Wesley Snipes.

2754
02:00:53.760 --> 02:00:55.760
Couldn't stop laughing at the scene where Blade tries to

2755
02:00:55.840 --> 02:00:58.600
help a dying whistler while wiping his extremely bloody body

2756
02:00:58.680 --> 02:00:59.800
with a small piece of gauze.

2757
02:01:01.680 --> 02:01:02.560
It is a little silly.

2758
02:01:03.119 --> 02:01:05.199
David os Goyer explained in the DVD commentary that the

2759
02:01:05.239 --> 02:01:08.239
scene where Karen touches Blade sword was originally longer, as

2760
02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:10.720
she went on to discover a weird hybrid infant of

2761
02:01:10.800 --> 02:01:12.800
some kind floating in a tank. It came with a

2762
02:01:12.880 --> 02:01:14.680
jump scare, and Goyer said he thinks it would have

2763
02:01:14.720 --> 02:01:16.720
scared the living shit out of the audiences, but new

2764
02:01:16.800 --> 02:01:18.319
Line felt it was too horrible.

2765
02:01:19.079 --> 02:01:21.000
The idea of them just having like a newborn in

2766
02:01:21.079 --> 02:01:23.279
a tank, vampire or not, would be pretty weird.

2767
02:01:23.359 --> 02:01:26.079
Yeah, I would say the scene where Karen and Deacon

2768
02:01:26.119 --> 02:01:28.479
are talking about the cure for vampiism initially ran a

2769
02:01:28.520 --> 02:01:30.840
bit longer and answered the question of how vampires would

2770
02:01:30.840 --> 02:01:32.720
feed if everybody was turned into a vampire.

2771
02:01:32.960 --> 02:01:33.680
They would keep some.

2772
02:01:33.840 --> 02:01:36.359
Humans alive in a giant blood bags to harvest them.

2773
02:01:36.439 --> 02:01:38.199
The bags can be seen in the doorway during the

2774
02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:40.479
scene and later played an integral part in the plot

2775
02:01:40.560 --> 02:01:43.399
of Blade Trinity, and also has an underlying plot structure

2776
02:01:43.439 --> 02:01:45.319
for the movie Daybreakers from two thousand and nine, which

2777
02:01:45.319 --> 02:01:47.520
I cannot recommend that movie enough and we all know

2778
02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:49.880
you love David Baybreakers just says a great lore to it.

2779
02:01:50.520 --> 02:01:53.079
Stanley originally had a cameo that was ultimately cut from

2780
02:01:53.119 --> 02:01:54.640
the film. He played one of the cops that came

2781
02:01:54.680 --> 02:01:57.159
into the Blood Club during the aftermath to discover Quinn's

2782
02:01:57.159 --> 02:01:57.840
body on fire.

2783
02:01:57.920 --> 02:01:59.840
He was like, my, this club is full of blood.

2784
02:02:01.079 --> 02:02:03.760
A deleted conversation from the script explained how Blade Sword

2785
02:02:03.800 --> 02:02:06.359
originally belonged to Whistler, who himself was part of a

2786
02:02:06.439 --> 02:02:10.680
long line of vampire hunters. Michael Morbius was used as

2787
02:02:10.760 --> 02:02:13.079
the main antagonist in Blade two, but the idea was

2788
02:02:13.159 --> 02:02:15.399
dropped when Marvel sold the character's rights to Artisan and

2789
02:02:15.840 --> 02:02:18.920
Entertainment to produce a standalone Morbius film. The Vampire on

2790
02:02:18.960 --> 02:02:21.319
the Rooftop and the alternate ending in Morbius is played

2791
02:02:21.319 --> 02:02:24.439
by director Stephen Norington. Morbius eventually made his live action

2792
02:02:24.560 --> 02:02:27.720
debut in Morbius twenty twenty two, played by Jared leto Wow.

2793
02:02:27.840 --> 02:02:30.159
So Artisan bought the rights and didn't do anything do

2794
02:02:30.359 --> 02:02:32.640
anything with it. Yeah, because Morbius was a big part

2795
02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:34.760
of the Spider Man cartoon I watch, yes, and that's

2796
02:02:34.760 --> 02:02:37.520
where I first saw Blade. Yeah, in that cartoon. Yeah.

2797
02:02:38.079 --> 02:02:39.680
The first got of the film was one hundred and

2798
02:02:39.800 --> 02:02:42.520
forty minutes long and had a disastrous test screening with

2799
02:02:42.600 --> 02:02:45.520
audiences and heavy edits. Reshoots were implemented, which delayed the

2800
02:02:45.600 --> 02:02:48.119
release date more than half a year. The most significant

2801
02:02:48.159 --> 02:02:50.000
change was the addition of the final sword fight between

2802
02:02:50.039 --> 02:02:52.039
Blade and Deacon Frost, which did not exist in the

2803
02:02:52.079 --> 02:02:53.159
original version of the movie.

2804
02:02:53.279 --> 02:02:56.319
Oh wow, Yeah, Yeah, it needed that little punch show.

2805
02:02:56.359 --> 02:02:56.920
It definitely did.

2806
02:02:57.159 --> 02:03:00.159
The original ending had Frost becoming Lamagra and unleash the

2807
02:03:00.199 --> 02:03:02.640
blood Tide, which watches over the city turns everyone it

2808
02:03:02.720 --> 02:03:05.560
touches into vampires. The film ended with the vampires winning,

2809
02:03:05.640 --> 02:03:08.279
having caused the vampire Apocalypse. It was set up for

2810
02:03:08.319 --> 02:03:10.840
a proposed sequel where Blade and Karen would travel around,

2811
02:03:10.960 --> 02:03:14.359
hitting and destroying vampire food storage areas. The filmmakers didn't

2812
02:03:14.399 --> 02:03:16.039
know if there was going to be a sequel, so

2813
02:03:16.159 --> 02:03:16.800
it was changed.

2814
02:03:17.279 --> 02:03:19.720
That's a lot. That's a very down ending.

2815
02:03:19.840 --> 02:03:22.640
Yeah, the movie has a surprising amount of similarities with

2816
02:03:22.680 --> 02:03:25.479
The Matrix nineteen ninety nine. Both feature a character who

2817
02:03:25.600 --> 02:03:27.920
learns that really they live in a facade, it is

2818
02:03:28.000 --> 02:03:31.239
in fact, invisibly controlled by an outside force. There is

2819
02:03:31.279 --> 02:03:34.279
a small underground group of fighters battling the visible oppressors.

2820
02:03:34.479 --> 02:03:36.600
The protagonist is dressed in a long trench coat, and

2821
02:03:36.640 --> 02:03:39.319
the action leans heavily on martial arts. The hosta scene

2822
02:03:39.359 --> 02:03:41.600
around an hour and twelve minutes even features a bullet

2823
02:03:41.640 --> 02:03:44.399
dodging moment similar to the Matrix famous bullet time scenes.

2824
02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:47.560
All these similarities are coincidental, though, since Blade was released

2825
02:03:47.560 --> 02:03:49.680
a year before The Matrix, and The Matrix had been written,

2826
02:03:49.760 --> 02:03:52.119
planned and storyboarded long before Blade was released.

2827
02:03:52.319 --> 02:03:54.199
John Carpenter's They Live enters the Chat.

2828
02:03:55.199 --> 02:03:59.279
Marvel only made twenty five thousand dollars from this film.

2829
02:04:00.119 --> 02:04:01.800
They were not in great shape in the nineties.

2830
02:04:01.920 --> 02:04:03.600
No, I mean you can see that in the movie.

2831
02:04:03.680 --> 02:04:07.159
The ambulance with the stan Lee Cambio proverbs is working

2832
02:04:07.199 --> 02:04:07.680
for Marvel.

2833
02:04:07.840 --> 02:04:08.920
Right, No, you're right, yeah.

2834
02:04:09.039 --> 02:04:11.720
Wesley Snip's surprising his role as Blade twenty six years later,

2835
02:04:11.800 --> 02:04:14.840
and Deadpool and Wolverine would pass Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

2836
02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:17.920
for the longest tenured Marvel character in live action film series.

2837
02:04:18.359 --> 02:04:20.279
Yeah. That makes yeah, man, Yeah, it makes sense.

2838
02:04:20.640 --> 02:04:23.199
The success of the film, especially since it followed the

2839
02:04:23.239 --> 02:04:26.000
success of this film, especially since it followed the derided

2840
02:04:26.039 --> 02:04:28.439
Batman and Robin nineteen ninety seven, is often considered the

2841
02:04:28.479 --> 02:04:30.760
beginning of the rise of the superhero genre to become

2842
02:04:30.840 --> 02:04:32.560
dominant in mainstream film.

2843
02:04:33.359 --> 02:04:36.319
What are your final thoughts on Blade nineteen ninety eight. Man,

2844
02:04:37.039 --> 02:04:41.680
This one's tough because I don't know if it's an

2845
02:04:41.680 --> 02:04:43.960
own it. It is for me, that's fine, No, No,

2846
02:04:44.239 --> 02:04:47.560
I just don't know if it's an on it because

2847
02:04:47.600 --> 02:04:52.840
it's awesome and fun and it's memorable, but a lot

2848
02:04:52.920 --> 02:04:56.319
of that's nostalgic, yes, for me personally, So I mean,

2849
02:04:56.319 --> 02:04:59.720
if you're nostalgic for the nineties action era, if you're

2850
02:04:59.720 --> 02:05:04.600
in a for you know, really kind of prototypical superhero

2851
02:05:04.720 --> 02:05:07.359
modern superhero movies, then it's definitely an own it. But

2852
02:05:07.399 --> 02:05:09.159
I think in general, it's just like you should definitely

2853
02:05:09.239 --> 02:05:11.479
see it once. Yeah, and it'd be worth paying to

2854
02:05:11.600 --> 02:05:12.880
rent it for sure, because like, I don't know if

2855
02:05:12.880 --> 02:05:14.159
I'm gonna run out and get the four K, but

2856
02:05:14.199 --> 02:05:15.560
I thought the four K was incredible.

2857
02:05:15.720 --> 02:05:17.560
Yeah, I think so it's a buy it for me

2858
02:05:17.800 --> 02:05:22.079
simply because it's a very trailblazing vampire film at the time,

2859
02:05:22.359 --> 02:05:24.680
for not even just superhero movies, but also just the

2860
02:05:24.760 --> 02:05:27.840
vampire genre in general. I think it still holds up immenseally.

2861
02:05:27.920 --> 02:05:30.199
It's a lot of fun. Yes, it's got some dumb moments.

2862
02:05:30.239 --> 02:05:31.720
I mean a lot of dumb moments, but it's just

2863
02:05:31.960 --> 02:05:34.239
dumb fun though, dumb fun exactly, And I think in

2864
02:05:34.479 --> 02:05:37.439
all honesty too, it is the perfect time capsule for

2865
02:05:38.279 --> 02:05:40.479
not just not just the horror genre at that point,

2866
02:05:40.560 --> 02:05:43.159
but also like that tail end of the nineties into

2867
02:05:43.199 --> 02:05:45.880
the two thousands. This is exactly what we were going into.

2868
02:05:46.880 --> 02:05:48.399
Yeah. I couldn't agree with that more. Yeah.

2869
02:05:48.479 --> 02:05:50.760
So that is the final thoughts on Blade. We always

2870
02:05:50.760 --> 02:05:52.920
like in the show with a couple of recommendations. I

2871
02:05:53.000 --> 02:05:55.359
have two this week, starting with nineteen ninety eight, the

2872
02:05:55.439 --> 02:05:58.960
same year as Blade, John Carpenter's Vampires currently on Netflix,

2873
02:05:59.039 --> 02:06:02.520
Rentable on Prime and Fandango. Recovering from an ambush that

2874
02:06:02.600 --> 02:06:05.520
killed his entire team, eventual vampire Slayer must retrieve an

2875
02:06:05.520 --> 02:06:08.560
ancient Catholic relic that, should it be acquired by vampires,

2876
02:06:08.600 --> 02:06:10.479
will allow them to walk in the Sunlight.

2877
02:06:10.800 --> 02:06:12.159
Yes, freaking fun movie.

2878
02:06:12.199 --> 02:06:14.640
I love that movie. The second recommendation I'm gonna go

2879
02:06:14.680 --> 02:06:16.880
with is a little more recent. Hanso On and Gretel

2880
02:06:16.920 --> 02:06:19.960
witch Hunters from twenty thirteen, currently on Pluto TV, rentable

2881
02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:22.880
on Prime Fandango. Brother and sister duo. Hanzo and Gretel

2882
02:06:22.880 --> 02:06:25.720
are professional witch hunters who help innocent villagers. One day,

2883
02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:27.560
they stumble upon a case that could hold the key

2884
02:06:27.640 --> 02:06:31.079
to their past. This is as gory and violent as

2885
02:06:31.159 --> 02:06:34.079
you can get. For a more I would say more recent,

2886
02:06:34.119 --> 02:06:36.079
but it is almost ten years old now at this point.

2887
02:06:37.279 --> 02:06:39.800
But I mean this is a hard another hard R

2888
02:06:40.720 --> 02:06:46.079
horror superhero in horror film keep saying that term. What's

2889
02:06:46.119 --> 02:06:46.800
your recommendation?

2890
02:06:46.920 --> 02:06:49.279
Oh? Well, I had to think about this pretty hard

2891
02:06:49.359 --> 02:06:54.079
because Dave always steals the better and more obvious recommendations. Sorry,

2892
02:06:54.279 --> 02:06:57.319
not always, but often often so I often have to

2893
02:06:57.399 --> 02:06:59.399
kind of go off the beaten path and think about

2894
02:06:59.560 --> 02:07:00.319
the Yes.

2895
02:07:00.560 --> 02:07:03.520
Basically, oh, vibes of Jeff gold looms any, Yeah, that's

2896
02:07:03.600 --> 02:07:05.279
might go to always. That's gonna be my joke always

2897
02:07:05.279 --> 02:07:06.920
when you say vibes good good.

2898
02:07:06.960 --> 02:07:09.680
It will encourage me not to use a zoomer slang.

2899
02:07:10.279 --> 02:07:15.119
But I'm gonna go with a movie that attitude wise

2900
02:07:15.399 --> 02:07:19.159
and energy wise makes me think of the time of Blade,

2901
02:07:19.960 --> 02:07:23.279
and that's nineteen ninety five's Mortal Kombat, fair enough, which

2902
02:07:23.279 --> 02:07:24.680
is why it was funny when you pointed out that

2903
02:07:24.720 --> 02:07:27.239
I was playing in it. Yeah, because Mortal Kombat. It's

2904
02:07:27.439 --> 02:07:33.239
it's silly, it's dark, it's action packed, it's very nineties. Yeah,

2905
02:07:33.760 --> 02:07:36.680
it's a bit more antiquated than Blade in that way,

2906
02:07:36.720 --> 02:07:40.039
but it also has trailblazing soundtrack. I mean, I know

2907
02:07:40.920 --> 02:07:45.840
so many people that their first introduction to electronic music

2908
02:07:46.039 --> 02:07:48.479
and industrial music, which a lot of people who are

2909
02:07:48.479 --> 02:07:50.119
younger and be like, what are those Yeah, because now

2910
02:07:50.159 --> 02:07:51.680
you know them is something totally different. But back in

2911
02:07:51.720 --> 02:07:54.399
the day, there was electronic and industrial music. Now you

2912
02:07:54.479 --> 02:07:56.840
have EDM and stuff like that, but that was what

2913
02:07:56.920 --> 02:07:59.159
we called it back Oh yeah, you know, with Typo Negative,

2914
02:07:59.279 --> 02:08:03.000
with KMFDM and stuff like that. I learned about those

2915
02:08:03.039 --> 02:08:05.760
bands first from that soundtrack. Yeah, and became like a

2916
02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:09.319
massive KMFDM fan my whole childhood. Thanks, I guess, nope,

2917
02:08:10.159 --> 02:08:12.359
no such, but no, it's a great soundtrack for those

2918
02:08:12.399 --> 02:08:14.279
who somehow might not know what Mortal Kombat is. It's

2919
02:08:14.319 --> 02:08:17.279
three martial artists are forced to battle demonic adversaries in

2920
02:08:17.359 --> 02:08:20.279
another dimension with the fate of the world hanging in

2921
02:08:20.359 --> 02:08:22.279
the balance. And it's on HBO Max right now, and.

2922
02:08:22.279 --> 02:08:23.920
I will piggyback off that if you haven't seen the

2923
02:08:23.960 --> 02:08:26.079
most recent Wortal Kombat, also a really good time.

2924
02:08:26.159 --> 02:08:28.199
I really enjoyed it, and the sequel's finally coming.

2925
02:08:28.319 --> 02:08:30.279
Yes it is. So do we have any emails this week?

2926
02:08:30.399 --> 02:08:33.039

from you, guys. We have two EMAILSKA this week. The

2931
02:08:44.520 --> 02:08:49.039
first one is from Phil the subject line gross oh Man.

2932
02:08:49.720 --> 02:08:51.880
Just heard your talk about together and I was wondering,

2933
02:08:52.479 --> 02:08:57.720
what's the grossest movies you've ever seen? I just experienced

2934
02:08:57.840 --> 02:09:01.760
Human Habachi and well I was grossed out. Also, have

2935
02:09:01.880 --> 02:09:04.680
you seen Human Habachi? I thought it was a trip

2936
02:09:04.720 --> 02:09:05.920
and a half film.

2937
02:09:06.239 --> 02:09:08.479
Human Hibachi I'm not familiar with, so I'm gonna look

2938
02:09:08.479 --> 02:09:08.720
that up.

2939
02:09:08.720 --> 02:09:09.720
I don't know that.

2940
02:09:10.760 --> 02:09:12.279
One that always comes to my head is the movie

2941
02:09:12.279 --> 02:09:15.760
that legitimately once almost made me nauseous. Is Peter Jackson's

2942
02:09:15.760 --> 02:09:18.840
Brain Dead aka Dead Alive Really Dead Alive has some

2943
02:09:19.119 --> 02:09:23.439
really gross yeah, when they're eating the ear the scene,

2944
02:09:23.520 --> 02:09:26.239
I mean the some of those early Jackson like Bad

2945
02:09:26.319 --> 02:09:29.600
Taste and Brain Dead aka Dead Alive are pretty heinous

2946
02:09:29.640 --> 02:09:31.800
when it comes to like the content that is better

2947
02:09:31.880 --> 02:09:34.600
in those movies and pretty gruesome with the effects they have.

2948
02:09:35.560 --> 02:09:38.920
Yeah, No, I I agree with that. I I'm not

2949
02:09:39.039 --> 02:09:43.079
a very squeamish person. I never have been very squeamish.

2950
02:09:43.520 --> 02:09:50.119
But what makes me grossed out? I have a serious

2951
02:09:50.319 --> 02:09:53.640
thing with cannibalism, Yes you do, And if it's depicted

2952
02:09:53.720 --> 02:09:56.600
a certain way, it really bothers me. It really makes

2953
02:09:56.680 --> 02:10:02.399
me sick. Also, funny enough, blood not blood drinking, blood sucking,

2954
02:10:03.119 --> 02:10:06.039
So like when when blades like sucking on her next like,

2955
02:10:06.119 --> 02:10:09.560
it literally makes me squirm. The idea of that makes

2956
02:10:09.640 --> 02:10:13.159
me want to puke. A guy who you know, watched

2957
02:10:13.199 --> 02:10:16.479
cannibal Holocaust while eating a hungry man dinner. I did

2958
02:10:16.600 --> 02:10:18.880
with with a girl who also had a hungry man dinner,

2959
02:10:19.279 --> 02:10:23.720
even though I told her like that's not for you, No,

2960
02:10:23.880 --> 02:10:27.479
But so I don't I don't get you know, very

2961
02:10:27.600 --> 02:10:30.439
easily gross out it's definitely more context and the way

2962
02:10:30.720 --> 02:10:35.239
I feel. But as far as movies that are just gross,

2963
02:10:36.560 --> 02:10:42.760
I mean Society very gross Together Together had some gross stuff.

2964
02:10:43.159 --> 02:10:45.239
I thought it was you know, it was great.

2965
02:10:46.920 --> 02:10:49.520
This is this is kind of I mean not this

2966
02:10:49.640 --> 02:10:50.960
is kind of a stretch, but like the two that

2967
02:10:51.000 --> 02:10:54.119
come to mine are bring her back and talk to me.

2968
02:10:54.319 --> 02:10:57.039
Not so much gross, but like the brutality of like

2969
02:10:57.119 --> 02:10:58.479
the knife scene in Year.

2970
02:10:58.720 --> 02:11:01.199
I think gross versus WinCE a little different, different, but

2971
02:11:01.800 --> 02:11:03.359
yet you skip over the substance is fair.

2972
02:11:03.359 --> 02:11:05.159
I mean, the substance is very gross, but by the

2973
02:11:05.239 --> 02:11:05.439
end of.

2974
02:11:05.439 --> 02:11:08.119
The substance you just feel like you understand all bodily fluids. Yeah.

2975
02:11:09.119 --> 02:11:11.800
So, uh, the one that I will mention, I've only

2976
02:11:11.840 --> 02:11:14.199
seen it one time. And there's one, Oh God, I

2977
02:11:14.199 --> 02:11:15.680
can't I can't think about right now because it's just

2978
02:11:15.720 --> 02:11:17.920
makee me knowest. I think it's called the Last House

2979
02:11:18.000 --> 02:11:21.239
in the Woods. It was a part of that either

2980
02:11:21.319 --> 02:11:24.960
the after dark horror fest films or it's it's around

2981
02:11:25.000 --> 02:11:27.079
that same time. It may not be that specific, uh

2982
02:11:27.880 --> 02:11:29.720
team or whatnot, but yeah, there's one that's like the

2983
02:11:29.800 --> 02:11:32.159
Last House in the Woods. There is some really really

2984
02:11:32.199 --> 02:11:33.159
gross stuff in that movie.

2985
02:11:33.680 --> 02:11:35.800
Sure. Well, and then there's stuff like Pink Flamingos is

2986
02:11:35.880 --> 02:11:41.079
really gross because there's eating eating shacies. Yeah, so yeah,

2987
02:11:41.119 --> 02:11:43.399
I mean there's there's a lot of gross out movies,

2988
02:11:43.479 --> 02:11:45.920
but yeah, most of them don't get to me. I mean,

2989
02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:48.520
Necromantic has some stuff that really and not just the

2990
02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:52.239
animal killing. That one is pretty pretty freaking gross.

2991
02:11:52.359 --> 02:11:59.760
Yeah, anything anything that involves like bodily fluids is pretty

2992
02:11:59.840 --> 02:12:01.600
naw for me. Like the one I always think of

2993
02:12:01.760 --> 02:12:03.920
is when they jerk off the dog and Van Wilder.

2994
02:12:04.840 --> 02:12:08.680
What about your your love for those cat whatever? Oh

2995
02:12:08.760 --> 02:12:09.600
Cat three, Cat.

2996
02:12:09.479 --> 02:12:12.600
Three, Cat three, Cat Cat three, They're they're pretty gruesome.

2997
02:12:12.640 --> 02:12:14.800
Those who don't know. Cat three is a specific era

2998
02:12:15.039 --> 02:12:18.239
of Chinese Ish Hong Kong. Hong Kong Kong.

2999
02:12:18.600 --> 02:12:22.279
It's Hong Kong extreme rated movies like violence, sex, Like

3000
02:12:22.359 --> 02:12:23.920
the one that always comes to mind is The un

3001
02:12:23.960 --> 02:12:26.680
Ould Story, which which is very has a a has

3002
02:12:26.760 --> 02:12:30.079
a huge thing with cannibalism, has a entirely uh has

3003
02:12:30.079 --> 02:12:33.520
an entire scene of family getting butchered. I mean it's yeah,

3004
02:12:33.560 --> 02:12:36.279
those movies are pretty extreme, but like those, those typically

3005
02:12:36.359 --> 02:12:39.399
don't bother me too much, except for like the cannibal stuff.

3006
02:12:39.439 --> 02:12:41.439
Like you mentioned, like especially when he's cooking when the

3007
02:12:41.520 --> 02:12:42.079
two movies.

3008
02:12:42.960 --> 02:12:43.640
But yeah, I mean.

3009
02:12:43.600 --> 02:12:46.560
There's there's there's a limit that I have. But like

3010
02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:49.520
I don't get grossed out very easily either, but like

3011
02:12:49.600 --> 02:12:51.279
there's certain things that will get to me. But yeah,

3012
02:12:51.279 --> 02:12:54.000
the first like I remember actually feeling nauseous during the

3013
02:12:54.520 --> 02:12:57.039
the first time I watched Brain Dead, Like the climax

3014
02:12:57.159 --> 02:12:58.039
made me a little notch.

3015
02:12:58.079 --> 02:13:00.920
It's this is one that grossed me out and shocked me.

3016
02:13:01.079 --> 02:13:03.960
I almost forgot to mention this Beyond the Darkness by

3017
02:13:04.000 --> 02:13:07.920
Joe Demonto. Yeah, from nineteen seventy nine. That is a

3018
02:13:08.039 --> 02:13:12.520
disgusting movie and fantastic movie. It's because of the way

3019
02:13:13.039 --> 02:13:17.920
human dismemberment is depicted is depicted. And also I want

3020
02:13:17.960 --> 02:13:22.239
to honorable mention those later ful che movies Touch of

3021
02:13:22.319 --> 02:13:23.880
Death or Touch of Death.

3022
02:13:24.520 --> 02:13:25.000
Touch of Death.

3023
02:13:25.439 --> 02:13:28.319
Yeah, that one's really disgusting anything they reuse a lot

3024
02:13:28.399 --> 02:13:30.319
of that stuff. And Kat and the Brain, so Captain

3025
02:13:30.359 --> 02:13:33.239
the Brain has some serious grossouts too. So thanks for

3026
02:13:33.319 --> 02:13:37.920
that right before lunch, But thank you so much for

3027
02:13:38.039 --> 02:13:41.079
writing in man. Yeah, oh that's awesome, And remember reminder,

3028
02:13:41.159 --> 02:13:42.920
do you have a movie pod at gmail dot com.

3029
02:13:43.319 --> 02:13:46.359
This next one is from a buddy Patrick and the

3030
02:13:46.479 --> 02:13:49.640
headline or subject is movie tip. I don't know how

3031
02:13:49.720 --> 02:13:53.079
many people know this, but if you have a library card,

3032
02:13:53.159 --> 02:13:55.800
you can use apps such as Hoopla or Canopy to

3033
02:13:55.920 --> 02:13:58.199
stream movies. That's how I was able to watch Captain

3034
02:13:58.279 --> 02:14:03.199
Ron for free. It would like to recommend Monster Island

3035
02:14:03.279 --> 02:14:03.760
on shutter.

3036
02:14:04.159 --> 02:14:05.960
I've heard I've heard of it. I haven't seen it yet,

3037
02:14:05.960 --> 02:14:07.039
but I've heard it's fun.

3038
02:14:07.199 --> 02:14:09.920
Yeah, I've heard good things about Monster Island. Thank you Patrick.

3039
02:14:10.640 --> 02:14:14.960
And Hoopla. I've not used it, but I've licensed movies

3040
02:14:15.000 --> 02:14:18.399
to Hoopla, and they do pay the filmmakers when you

3041
02:14:18.520 --> 02:14:21.600
watch a free movie on Hooplay. So if you see

3042
02:14:21.600 --> 02:14:23.319
one of my movies on there, it'll cost you nothing.

3043
02:14:23.319 --> 02:14:24.960
You should just watch it just for the hell of it.

3044
02:14:25.279 --> 02:14:27.199
But no, that's a very good tip. A lot of

3045
02:14:27.199 --> 02:14:28.840
people don't realize if you have a library card you

3046
02:14:28.880 --> 02:14:30.760
can sign up for those and watch tons of free movies.

3047
02:14:30.600 --> 02:14:32.079
And you can also get a bunch of audiobooks too.

3048
02:14:32.560 --> 02:14:34.239
I actually I have that signed up. I forget the

3049
02:14:34.640 --> 02:14:37.840
app for that, but I have that which they let

3050
02:14:37.880 --> 02:14:40.479
me use the Digital Library card so I didn't have

3051
02:14:40.520 --> 02:14:43.079
to go to the library. I just filled in a thing,

3052
02:14:43.680 --> 02:14:45.279
so I was like, well that's just free then. So

3053
02:14:45.920 --> 02:14:47.720
but those are our emails again. Do you have a

3054
02:14:47.800 --> 02:14:49.640

Absolutely, so, would you like to know what we are

talking about next week? As August the Dumping Ground month continues.

3062
02:15:06.479 --> 02:15:09.039
I you're gonna say it, whether I want you to

3063
02:15:09.239 --> 02:15:09.359
or not.

3064
02:15:09.680 --> 02:15:12.560
Yeah, Well, after so many jokes of you you know

3065
02:15:12.640 --> 02:15:14.760
there's no rules that a dog can't play basketball?

3066
02:15:14.840 --> 02:15:16.279
Why that joke all the time you do?

3067
02:15:16.520 --> 02:15:18.760
Why why don't we just go ahead and dissect that

3068
02:15:18.840 --> 02:15:21.119
movie with nineteen ninety seven's Airbud?

3069
02:15:21.680 --> 02:15:24.359
Wow? And how many nineties movies have we done in

3070
02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:24.680
a row?

3071
02:15:24.840 --> 02:15:25.079
A lot?

3072
02:15:25.119 --> 02:15:26.760
I'm getting a little it's getting a little wrisome.

3073
02:15:27.359 --> 02:15:30.159
I mean, next the one after Earbud's not so there's that,

3074
02:15:30.840 --> 02:15:31.439
so we got that.

3075
02:15:31.840 --> 02:15:33.520
I'll believe you this time. But man, I haven't seen

3076
02:15:33.560 --> 02:15:36.159
Airbud a long time.

3077
02:15:36.359 --> 02:15:39.520
Well, and talk about timing. We just got the announcement

3078
02:15:39.560 --> 02:15:42.760
that a meta Airbud sequel is coming out late.

3079
02:15:42.840 --> 02:15:45.119
You didn't know about this, I may have heard about it.

3080
02:15:45.239 --> 02:15:48.079
Oh about how a kid finds it finds a VHS

3081
02:15:48.119 --> 02:15:50.279
of Airbud and then finds a dog that can actually

3082
02:15:50.279 --> 02:15:53.520
start like playing basketball is the plot for this movie. Okay, Yeah,

3083
02:15:53.680 --> 02:15:55.239
the return of Airbud I think is what it's called

3084
02:15:55.279 --> 02:15:55.920
her something like that.

3085
02:15:56.239 --> 02:15:58.199
And Airbud's on Disney Plus, Disney.

3086
02:15:57.960 --> 02:16:01.119
Plus Fawsome rentable on Private Fandango as well. And I

3087
02:16:01.359 --> 02:16:03.319
may or may not be coming to the show having

3088
02:16:03.399 --> 02:16:06.520
watched as of what's available right now, the entire Airbud

3089
02:16:06.720 --> 02:16:07.800
cinematic universe.

3090
02:16:07.880 --> 02:16:10.720
You better have because you promised it to me. I did, yeah,

3091
02:16:10.720 --> 02:16:13.560
and now that promise is no. Oh god, dude, you

3092
02:16:13.640 --> 02:16:14.199
have no idea.

3093
02:16:14.439 --> 02:16:17.680
So all I will go through an entire history of

3094
02:16:17.880 --> 02:16:21.760
what happens to Airbud later sequels, including his Children and

3095
02:16:21.920 --> 02:16:24.920
the nine air Buddies movies that are available right now too.

3096
02:16:25.239 --> 02:16:27.880
I yeah, so look forward to that while I've been

3097
02:16:28.000 --> 02:16:30.359
hurting myself the last few weeks watching these movies.

3098
02:16:30.479 --> 02:16:36.440
That is must listen podcasting, Peak podcasting. Yeah, they might

3099
02:16:36.559 --> 02:16:39.719
just shut down the entire format after we After we

3100
02:16:39.799 --> 02:16:42.000
do that, though there's no Caesar Weft, there were no

3101
02:16:42.120 --> 02:16:44.719
more there were no more kingdoms to conquer.

3102
02:16:44.760 --> 02:16:46.440
And I will say I did mention it when I

3103
02:16:46.479 --> 02:16:48.879
was going through is castling. But Chris Christofferson did play

3104
02:16:49.360 --> 02:16:52.200
one of the one of the dogs in airbud Snow Buddies.

3105
02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:55.760
Of course he did. Yeah that's too good. Yeah, well

3106
02:16:55.799 --> 02:16:58.479
that's what you guys have two air quotes. Look forward

Got some interesting comments recently about the video of my

3119
02:17:27.879 --> 02:17:30.840
sister getting her door taken away or getting a room taken.

3120
02:17:30.680 --> 02:17:32.840
On Oh yeah they were Yeah, they were just people

3121
02:17:32.879 --> 02:17:37.280
sharing similar experiences. Yeah, yeah, interesting, it's stuff. Definitely a

3122
02:17:37.319 --> 02:17:40.000
little weird, a little good, little whatever. So uh, with

3123
02:17:40.159 --> 02:17:42.719
