WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:23.199
Every New Year's Eve, the caller
came out one terrifying night of unspeakable evil.

2
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:29.519
New Year's Evil rated dard now playing
at a theater or driving near you

3
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:42.439
in a world where podcasts reigned supreme. Two friends dare to ask, do

4
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:54.679
you even? Movie? Hosted by
filmmaker Enrique Kuto and movie aficionado David de

5
00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:14.840
Noyer. Spoiler alert, Hey friends, I know what you're thinking, How

6
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.519
could these guys get any more annoying? Well, tonight we're gonna be extra

7
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.959
because it's New Year's Evil time?
And do you even movie? I'm of

8
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:33.719
course your host Frique Kuto here with
double D David Louis Desnoyer es choir Alphonse.

9
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:40.439
No, I do not do this
show for enjoyment. I strictly do

10
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:47.040
this as a kind of educational thing, So this is all about education here

11
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.719
at do you even movie? So, but we're gonna be talking about a

12
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.040
New Year's film? Yes we are, and one of the most notorious New

13
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.400
Year's films of all time, New
Year's Evil. Now, I'm would not

14
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.840
be surprised if many people listening to
this or watching us are not aware probably

15
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.000
of New Year's Evil, because it
kind of came and went, Am I

16
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:09.439
wrong? No, You're not wrong
at all. It was one of those

17
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.919
for me that when I first found
it, it was only available as a

18
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.800
burn on demand, and then it
was magically available on Netflix. And that's

19
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.360
like twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen.
Yeah, you have to get used to

20
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.319
that. Yeah, I mean I
had heard about it simply from googling New

21
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:35.240
Year's Horror. Yeah, and otherwise
I never heard about it much because so

22
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.080
what year did this come out?
So this is nineteen eighty on the nose,

23
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.080
nineteen eighty okay, so it was
the end of the seventies. Yeah,

24
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.400
there are ample disco balls in display
to show that this would be the

25
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.960
end of the seventies. This is
very true. This movie's not dated at

26
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.639
all, not even a little bit. This film age is like a fine

27
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:59.120
wine, my man, oh my
god. So well, shoot, what

28
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.280
did the New Year's Evil? All
right? So we're talking about New Year's

29
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:09.479
Evil from nineteen nineteen eighty. Okay, I'll stop doing that, stop it

30
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.599
now. I never will, never
will. I was hitting him with the

31
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.400
one hour and twenty five minutes rated
R. This is directed and partially written

32
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:23.400
by Emmett Auston. He was a
cinematographer for a film called Moonchild in nineteen

33
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.159
seventy two, as well as another
film called Country Blue in seventy three.

34
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.080
He's the director and writer listed on
Three Way Weekend in seventy nine, nine

35
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.199
Deaths of the Ninja in nineteen eighty
five, Three Way Weekend. That sounds

36
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:39.800
like what is that? Like a
kid's adventure like three And He was also

37
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.919
the director of Tiger Shark in eighty
seven, Demon Warp in eighty eight,

38
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.719
and Force of the Ninja in eighty
eight. Going back to the writer,

39
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:47.800
like I said, he was partial
writer on it, but then our main

40
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.280
writer is Leonard new Bar. He
was on Fugitive from Justice in nineteen forty,

41
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.840
Lady Wants Mink, and fifty three
Run for the Hills in nineteen fifty

42
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.800
three, as well The Millionaire TV
Show and nineteen fifty six m Squad and

43
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.439
sixty Black Snake in seventy three.
This was the only movie he wrote in

44
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.599
the eighties. I don't know.
I think he had passed by that point.

45
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.400
Shortly after this. He was a
He was a veteran journeyman of TV.

46
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.040
I mean, he had a lot
of TV TV work on his resume.

47
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.920
And very little film where he only
had this in like one other film

48
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.759
that I can think of. Well, TV is where the money, especially

49
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.279
back then, that was where the
money was if you wanted consistent checks.

50
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.240
Yeah, you worked in television,
especially in writers in writing rooms, because

51
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.160
television is a writer's medium. Yeah, No, one hundred percent. And

52
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.439
the cinematographer on this is Thomas E. Ackerman. He also was a camera

53
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.439
operator on Moonchild in nineteen seventy two, probably where he met Emmett. He

54
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:46.800
also did Talfamage Farlow in eighty one, Roadhouse sixty six and eighty four DP

55
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.879
on franken WEENI The Tim Burton Won
in eighty four as well. Then from

56
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.600
here he goes to girls Just want
to Have Fun in nineteen eighty five,

57
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.399
Back to School in nineteen eighty six, What Beetlejuice in nineteen eighty eight,

58
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.639
Okay, Michael Jackson, Moonwalker eighty
eight as well, National Lampoon's Crisis Vacation

59
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.240
nineteen eighty nine, Wow, Okay, Dennis the Menace nineteen ninety three,

60
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.480
Jumungie nineteen ninety five, George of
the Jungle ninety seven, Rat Race two

61
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.680
thousand and one, Anchorman two thousand
and four, The Benchwarmers two thousand and

62
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:16.920
six, Balls of Fury two thousand
and seven, and there's even more after

63
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.560
that, but that's where I stopped
listening. Wow, dude has a very

64
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.920
stacked resume. Well, I mean, as as I pointed out when we

65
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.199
were early in our movie friendship.
Yes, cinematographers get around that they do.

66
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.199
I mean, well, everybody's got
to work and everybody every movie needs

67
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.000
a cinematographer. Yeah. If you
don't have a camera pointed, then there's

68
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.600
no movie. Nothing you can do. Oh wait, watch out, guys,

69
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.439
it's a hot take. Yeah,
that's my hot take for the episode.

70
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.920
With no camera, you got no
movie, no camera, no movie.

71
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.759
So would you like to hear the
synopsis of this, Enrique? No

72
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.199
one would? Oh well, too
bad? No, no, lay it

73
00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:01.199
on me double dB first. But
first, oh yes, so this is

74
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.639
all my back. This is Friday
thirteen three. D oh got it about

75
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.079
this? I I okay, okay, hold on, I'll just I just

76
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.639
threw it across the studio. So
I because it is so how hard is

77
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.680
it? It's so tempting? I
mean I want to do it now?

78
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.800
All right? Now, I'm good. I have a different one, but

79
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.319
it doesn't punch you when it goes. It doesn't make me feel like I'm

80
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.720
some kind of a lizard creature.
This is true, but no, So

81
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.759
what is the synopsis? A right
of New Year's Evil? New Year's Evil

82
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.079
synopsis on the back of the Keno
larber blu Ray says. On a totally

83
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:39.199
punked out New Year's Eve, vivacious
TV hostess Diane Blaze Sullivan counts it down

84
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.000
the hours to midnight, but as
her show progresses every hour on the hour,

85
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.959
a savage maniac slashes up a new
female victim. As the trail of

86
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.399
mutilated body spread throughout the city,
it becomes apparent that the psychopath's ultimate target

87
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.160
is Blaze herself. Desperate to stop
the bloody rampages, the police frantically seal

88
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.240
off the ongoing televised festivities, but
the killer is quicker than they suspected.

89
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.920
He's also the last one anyone suspects. So join this holiday season's deadly at

90
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:11.480
celebration with the New Year's resolution to
stay alive House seventies. We can't say

91
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:18.399
yeah. So this is your personal
It's New Year's Eve and Hollywood Hotline host

92
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.279
Blaze is terrorized when a caller who
only identifies as Evil calls into the show

93
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.800
as at midnight, strikes in multiple
time zones to share the recording of his

94
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:31.360
recent kill, unaware he's moving closer
with each kill, which but unaware because

95
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.199
just no thought, no thought is
in this person's brain. This is true.

96
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.879
Now, this movie is a lot
of fun. Not the smartest film,

97
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.879
No it's not. Yeah, this
is not a mensa candidate film.

98
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.560
So what was your first time seeing
this? Oh, gosh, it would

99
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:54.639
have been. I know that I
saw it on a VHS rip. It

100
00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:00.399
was before the Blue Ratt. Yeah, because I'm obsessed with, you know,

101
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.040
like seasonal entertainment. I love the
Christmas horror movies. We did watch

102
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.439
Memorial Day one year, so I
do know that I don't want to talk

103
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.319
about it, but no, we
watched I love to watch holiday stuff,

104
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.240
not just horror. But there's definitely
a certain joy to watching a horror movie

105
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.000
about Christmas or a horror movie about
New Year's Yeah, a horror movie about

106
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.560
Easter, find one, and there's
something fun about that. And so I

107
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.199
found New Year's Evil because it is
the most obvious New Year's horror movie.

108
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.879
I mean, yeah, you have
like terror Train which takes place on New

109
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.240
Year's Yep, and that's a lot
of fun too, absolutely, but this

110
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.399
one's literally called New Year's Evil and
it's not bloody New Year. I was

111
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.600
afraid that you were going to bring
that one up. Yeah, I have

112
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.679
to, because that was very painful
for us. Maybe by British standards,

113
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.799
it was a perfect New Year's movie. We hunted that down even before Vincent

114
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.879
had put out the Blu ray.
Yeah. I found a VHS copy of

115
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.399
VHS rit excited for that and well
that's a whole other story. Yeah,

116
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.840
that's not what this show's about.
We'll talk about New Year's Evil. But

117
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.919
Jesus, but why did I buy
these the best parties? We walked into

118
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.799
the studio, Dave was like,
was like, remember you care wear,

119
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.519
you're Sanahatan here, it's just New
Year's And then I was like, Dave,

120
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.360
come on, and then you sit
down and you didn't even like there

121
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.200
were all these party fingers on the
table in front of him. So that

122
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:37.519
went Dave, look and you're like, oh so sorry. So I remembered

123
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.159
watching this enus looking VHS copy of
it, and really all that stuck out

124
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:50.799
to me in that first viewing was
that it was sleazy, extra grimy,

125
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.679
and to be frank, the beautiful
new four K transfer doesn't look less grimy.

126
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.960
It is just as grimy in many
ways. Although you can actually see

127
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.519
what's happening in the film, which
is a bonus. Uh. Some films

128
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.799
benefit from that, some don't.
I mean even even to All good Night.

129
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.559
It benefits heavily from being able to
actually see what's happening in it.

130
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.399
And that's not a that's not a
masterpiece, but it is a fun time.

131
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.159
So but yeah, so I remember
watching it and thinking like, wow,

132
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.519
here's another whack of do movie.
I did notice a certain logo at

133
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.360
the beginning. Yes you did a
Canon Films logo, Yes you did,

134
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.320
which, for those that aren't aware
initiated, I am shocked. But Canon

135
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.200
films later in their life span in
the I think it was the beginning of

136
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.279
the seventies, Goldan and Globus bought
Canon Films and Monachem I forget which ones

137
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.799
which there's Monachum in the other guy, I'm this is Monocha. Where's my

138
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:58.039
money? But they became legendary as
a production team. They were two Israeli

139
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.960
filmmakers who decided they wanted to come
to Hollywood, and if you listen to

140
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.720
the accounts of their time in Hollywood, you hear all these stories about how

141
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.559
their their public face was We're here
to disrupt Hollywood, blah blah blah blah

142
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.279
blah blah. But in reality,
they wanted so badly to be Hollywood insiders,

143
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.080
Golan and Globus. They wanted to
go to the parties. They wanted

144
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.840
to eat the caviar, they wanted
to snort the powders off of young women.

145
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.919
They wanted all of the fun.
But instead they made their mark by

146
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.879
making Chuck Norris films, Charles Bronson
films. They made man all kinds of

147
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:43.320
crazy movies. And the thing that
they were best at, Barnunn was making

148
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.679
movies that were so wack a do
that they would that American audiences would just

149
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.720
be like whoa, and then the
rest of the world's audiences would snap it

150
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.480
up, because, especially back then, a movie doing wealth in foreign territories

151
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.000
was really bad based on how well
could it do without anybody understanding the dialogue.

152
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.480
Yeah, so your action movies,
you're like really crazy horror movies.

153
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.480
Yes, that was their bread and
butter. Yeah, it would do pretty

154
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.240
well in America and then they'd sell
it to the rest of the world.

155
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.639
And the rest of the world loves
bonkers stuff. I mean, a lot

156
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.200
of famous Italian directors of the seventies
and eighties, Bruno Mattai, Joe Demano,

157
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.879
even Luccio Fulci, they knew that. They knew that if they made

158
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.600
a pretty good horror movie or a
pretty good action movie, and it was

159
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.639
just insane, that it would do
well in every market. And that's totally

160
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.559
I mean that tracks. If you
listener, if you have not seen h

161
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.240
Electric Boogloo, The Untold Story of
Cannon Films, or even The Go Go

162
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.840
Boys, cannot recommend those two documentaries
enough just to learn about the insanity that

163
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.720
was Canon Films. And yes,
you heard that right. It's called Electric

164
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.120
Boogloo because they were the men behind
break into Electric bogle Well they were mind

165
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.080
breaking one as breaking one. Yeah, but uh yeah, and that's become

166
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.759
the Electric Boogloo has become a punchline
everybody, anybody will they'll be like,

167
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:05.919
oh, yeah, Shindler's List two
Electric Boogloo. The joke is that you

168
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.399
make any movie a part two and
then at Electric Boogloo, which you know,

169
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.279
and to defend that film for a
moment. I like Breaking and Breaking

170
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.039
too. Breaking and Breaking two are
fun films, But the Electric Boogloo was

171
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.039
a dance. It was, yes
in the movie. Yeah, but it

172
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.559
still is like ridiculous gibberish. Well
two is way more insane than the first

173
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.480
one, isn't even well, Yeah, because that's when they had all the

174
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.360
success and the money coming in and
they tried to catch lightning twice in the

175
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.919
bottle because they like went in to
break into production the moment the Break It

176
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.480
one was out well, and I'll
never forget break Dancing up the wall the

177
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.559
wall, yeah, which then that
same rig was used in a Nightmare on

178
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.639
Elm Street was to create the illusion
that somebody was being dragged up the walls

179
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:52.279
and stuff like that. Yep.
So lots of pedigrees here already. Yeah,

180
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.639
but no, So I remember when
I saw Cannon Film's logo at the

181
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.960
beginning my brain at that time in
my life, when I was probably twenty

182
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.320
four twenty three, was ah,
the guys who did you know over the

183
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.639
top, Yes, the guys who
did missing an action, the Delta Force

184
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.759
Invasion USA, the later death wish
see yes, if you're wondering, Hey,

185
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.120
which Death Wish sequels did they do? Whichever one was insane was them?

186
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.240
They did two through four, actually
two through five because manahem did five

187
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.200
under the twenty first century Yes film
company, y Yeah, when they split

188
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.919
up. Yep, that was his
company who also famously they did Nither of

189
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.399
the Living Dead nineteen ninety. That's
right, it was the twenty first century

190
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.679
film corpose. It's it's literally when
you put it on, it says twenty

191
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.960
first century field, and then it
says Monacha Golande presents so well, and

192
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.399
then you and I recently just watched
Nightmare aka Nightmares of the Damag's Brain,

193
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.399
which is also twenty first century.
But that's before he had gotten yeah,

194
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.759
before he got on board and and
did what he does best, drive it

195
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:58.639
high and drive it down. But
we digress, Oh we sure did.

196
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:11.360
Do You Even? Movie? Will
be right back, welcome back to Do

197
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:18.879
You Even movie? But no,
but no, going back to my first

198
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.960
time, Like I said, it
was like twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen.

199
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.919
I caught it on Netflix. I
was working at my TV station job at

200
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.639
the time, and that was a
lot of days of editing city stuff and

201
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.600
whatnot, so I could just throw
stuff on and do video work to it.

202
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.840
And I remember putting this on,
and when we get to the climax

203
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.000
with the elevator, I immediately remember
just pushing my keyboard up a little bit

204
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.000
and just turning to my monitor and
being like, what is going on?

205
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.840
There's a lot of moments in this
movie where ironically, if you're not paying

206
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.799
close attention, yeah, then it
is completely confusing, completely, And if

207
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.799
you are paying close attention, it's
still still occasionally confusing. That is very

208
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.320
true. But so that was your
first that was your first time. That

209
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.159
was my first time, Yeah,
because it was I really got into the

210
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:10.759
slashers when my uncle sent me the
ones that I had requested from watching the

211
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.919
Going to Pieces documentary that Stars had
put out. Our Stars had put together

212
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:18.759
an Anchor Bay released which had like
the Burning and prom Night and all the

213
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.639
other ones. So yeah, yah, a lot of those side slashers I

214
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.320
really didn't get to until probably,
Yeah, I would say probably early twenties

215
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.360
is when I mean, that's so
surprising. Well, and also when it

216
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.919
came to the releases at the time, Scream Factory was just starting their their

217
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.200
hit with those right around the time
I moved back to Troy, which was

218
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.240
about twenty fourteen. See You and
Your Shop Factory. My formative years was

219
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:47.120
all Anchor Bay. I watched it
on Netflix first, just saying, do

220
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.279
what. I watched it on Netflix
first, just saying, I mean,

221
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.480
that's even more worries, that's more
So let's get into the players of this

Young and the Restless ninety six Night of

Living Dead thirtieth Anniversary Edition nineteen ninety
nine. Are you serious? I'm dead

256
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.559

the thirtieth anniversary edition. He uh,

257
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.519
he pulled up his credit here in
a minute. But uh, Raptor in

258
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:14.920
two thousand and one, Raptor the
Jim with all of the special effects from

259
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.599
the prior three Carnisaur film. No, it's also correct. But don't let

260
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.839
that stop you. Raptor really fun
movie, also closing him out Willie's Wonderland

261
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.400

cop Oh wow, I didn't remember him.

262
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.279
Okay, wow, let's see I
do not remember him. A Night

263
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:37.079
of Living Dead anniversary Wow, he's
listed his DAYTI anniversary here for those who

264
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.200
don't know. Yes, please nolease, Oh Man Dead thirtieth anniversary edition.

265
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:49.039
Let me tell you something, kids. That was the brainchild of John Russo,

266
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.599
the co writer and producer of the
original Night of Living Dead, and

267
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:59.799
the man wanted to go back and
basically make basically make a version of I

268
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.559
Living Dead that he could own a
copyright too, and therefore sell it and

269
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.759
make money. He did this with
other people who'd worked on the Night of

270
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.519
the Living Dead. But guess who
wasn't involved. Who's that? A guy

271
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.720
named George Romero. George Romero,
the director, the man famous for kind

272
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:21.920
of bringing the modern zombie to America, was not in any way involved.

273
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:27.400
So John Russo kind of known for
being the guy who will get a quick

274
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.519
buck out of a Night of Living
Dead. I'm saying that with all due

275
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.480
respect. That's his thing. He's
all about a quick buck. So what

276
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.039
they did was they took Night of
a Living Dead. They did the best

277
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.119
scan of the film that they had
ever done it up to that point.

278
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.559
Yeah, best it ever looked.
But then they took the film, stripped

279
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.799
the soundtrack off, added new music
cues that were like original you know,

280
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.440
made just for the film yea,
and added I don't know how many minutes

281
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.640
of scenes twenty Yeah, I think
it's like twenty because there's a church seeing

282
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.640
some stuff with the cemetery and some
other stuff. They added these scenes.

283
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.839
But here's what they added. If
you loved I of a Living Dead.

284
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.559
They add a scene where two guys
are delivering the cemetery zombie played by Bill

285
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.720
Hinzman. Yep, they have these
two guys delivering the body and they start

286
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.559
talking about the history of this body, that he was like a child killer,

287
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.000
and he was a criminal and a
murderer and he had been killed by

288
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:25.240
police or executed or something. Why
does that matter? It's a zombie.

289
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:29.400
All of the dead people are rising
and killing people. Does it make the

290
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:34.480
zombie scarier if they were a rotten
dude? So there's that. Yeah,

291
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.279
And of course they have Bill Heinzman
back, but he's thirty years older than

292
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.680
he was when he played it,
and I knew Bill Heinzman a little bit

293
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.720
before he passed away. Bill super
sweet guy, really fun and if you

294
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.799
haven't seen his film Flesh Eater,
where he kind of sort of comes back

295
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:55.160
as that zombie again. Fun movie. But yeah, so there are these

296
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.359
additional scenes. Then there are these
additional scenes with some weird priest character.

297
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:07.519
And I remember when I rented that
from Blockbuster on tape. I remember my

298
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.279
friend's mom. We showed her that
and she was like, he looks too

299
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.920
modern. That was the first thing
she said. He looks so modern.

300
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.599
He's got like a shaved head and
like a small goatee and all this stuff.

301
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.559
It. To quote my old buddy
Andy copp, it's no good for

302
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.400
nobody. He used to say that
all the time about a lot of things.

303
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:32.480
And the only putt plus side was
the DVD of the thirtieth anniversary did

304
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:37.559
have just a restoration of the original
movie on the disc as well. The

305
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.000
thirtieth anniversary was supposed to be the
special thing, and it's set up.

306
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:48.839
It was setting up what was going
to become the next Living Dead film's Children

307
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.519
of the Living Dead. Oh my
god, I forgot about that. You

308
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.759
should that was probably selective memory.
Children of the Living Dead I can't get

309
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.599
into because it would be a whole
show. Yeah, but it was a

310
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:07.440
sequel, completely ill conceived Tonight of
the Living Dead. Yeah. Again,

311
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.240
it focuses on a zombie that was
a crazy bad person when they were alive,

312
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.119
which I just as a lifelong Romero
Dead fan. That doesn't make any

313
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.880
sense. It doesn't. The acting
is really rough because apparently the director got

314
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.880
fired during the edit. He wrote
this incredible post on IMDb about it.

315
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.240
But yes, all the actors sound
really like they're not trying because no one

316
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.400
was there to direct them while they
were dubbing their lines. It's just a

317
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.759
bad time. So getting away from
Night a Living Dead thirtieth anniversary, I'm

318
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.640
just surprised this gentleman got pulled into
it. This is true. Let's celebrate

319
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.880
one of the better films he did, Yes, New Year's Evil. So

320
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.480
a little history real quick before we
get into the film itself. So this

321
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.559
was shot in three weeks on a
budget of six hundred thousand dollars. By

322
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:56.680
the way, it was eighteen day
shooting schedule and ten hour days. And

323
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:02.000
this was the debut for the director
Emmett. This was the first feature for

324
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.519
the DP, Thomas Ackerman first role, first like big role, leading role

325
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.400
for Kip Niven who plays our Killer, and Blaze's first role because she had

326
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.960
done TV before this. And then
it was also Derek's first, Grant's first

327
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.599
role as well, So a bunch
of first for this A lot of B

328
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.039
movies. Man, that's where people
get their start, because you know,

329
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.319
the filmmakers are willing to take a
chance on somebody who's either never been on

330
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.640
any on screen at all or has
only been relegated to television. It's easy

331
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.599
to forget that there was a time
when there was a pretty heavy veil between

332
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.799
TV and film, and generally you
could go from TV to film and everybody

333
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.400
would cheer, but if you went
from film to TV, people would go,

334
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.480
oh, as career is dead.
Now film and television are like almost

335
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.720
non existently different in quality and stuff
like that, but back then you would

336
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.440
be like, wait, you know
a major actor is on TV. That's

337
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.240
why Amazing Stories would blow people's minds
because they'd have big movie stars on it,

338
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:02.839
but that show was considered elevated.
Yeah, anyway, all right,

339
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.319
so we're getting into the movie now. So we open with a wide shot

340
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:11.000
of l A and we just zoom
into a holiday inn and inside literally it's

341
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.720
just a big son this is holiday
and I got such a laugh out of

342
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.400
that. And inside the holiday and
we meet Blaze, who is getting ready

343
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.279
to go on the show Hollywood hot
Line. It's her like kind of like

344
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.839
a TRL almost, it's like a
request for videos. I like how you're

345
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:33.759
like, you think that that's what
our audience will understand tr PRL Total Request

346
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.839
Live. It was hosted by Carshion
Daily. Oh my tooth fell out,

347
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.200
No, it was it was host
mccarson my age And I didn't mean to

348
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.039
you, didn't. I should have
paged you to warn you. Uh.

349
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.279
But it was a show where you
would call in and request music videos and

350
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.680
they would play them. Yeah,
and that's kind of what this is a

351
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.680
riff on because it's New Year's it's
live. They've got live bands, live

352
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:02.079
music and you can call into the
hotline yep, and like, but we'll

353
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:03.599
get to that, we'll get to
second. So we meet Blaze, we

354
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.000
meet her agent, Ernie, and
we meet her assistant Yvonne, and Blazes

355
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.720
get ready for the show. She
sends Yvonne up to the room to check

356
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:12.920
on something, and Yvonne goes into
the room and she gets the call from

357
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:17.799
Blaze says everything's okay and she's gonna
meet her downstairs. Then she starts hearing

358
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:21.440
the shower drip. She inspects the
shower, finds nothing. A knock at

359
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:25.119
the door, still nothing. Then
she goes back into the bathroom. She

360
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.000
goes to shut the shower off again, and a hand pulls her back in,

361
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.279
pulls out a switchblade, and that
is the start of New Year's Evil.

362
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.519
Yeah, And then we get treated
to the New Year's Evil theme song,

363
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:40.759
Yeah it's got It's got riffs for
days, baby Shadow. So then

364
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:45.400
we are meeting down the street with
a bunch of crazy punks that are driving

365
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.119
down I'm guessing it's Sunset Boulevard it
sure, yeah. And this is when

366
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.440
when I say crazy punk's like,
we've got like seven or eight in a

367
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.160
car. They're all like just you
know, happy, go lucky, just

368
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.400
chanting. Yeah, they haven't just
a damn good time, have it a

369
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.720
great time. So then we have
one particular set of them that pull up

370
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.960
to the Holiday Inn and a cops
like, you know, tickets please,

371
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.759
and one guy is like, yeah, we got our tickets. He pulls

372
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.119
out a switchblade, but it's actually
not it's a switch code. It's a

373
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.119
comb that looks like a switchblade,
very popular when I was in school.

374
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:18.839
With no sound effect, mind you. Yeah, it pops open and there's

375
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:25.440
no sound. One of my favorite
things so about older movies, cheap movies,

376
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.200
is that they'll just skip a sound
effect because sound mixing was really not

377
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.400
just expensive but difficult back then.
Yeah, you didn't have like three hundred

378
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.839
tracks of audio where you could just
so sometimes they would just be like,

379
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:44.480
eh, doesn't need to do anything. Now. What blows my mind is

380
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.240
as a filmmaker, if I were
working on that movie, I would not

381
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.640
skip a sound effect in the first
three minutes of the movie. That is

382
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.960
very true, because I'd be worried
that that would make people think the film

383
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:57.680
is lazy. But then again,
I mean, you're sitting down to watch

384
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.200
New Year's Evil. Yeah, you
know what, shut up and eat your

385
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.279
gruel. So back in the hotel, we see Blaze getting ready. She's

386
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.920
talking to her agent, Ernie,
and that's when we meet Derek her Son.

387
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.000
He wants to basically tell Blaze about
this party got and that he's super

388
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.559
excited to share it with her,
but she's just too busy for the show.

389
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:19.400
H she is so obscenely busy.
Yeah, that she's really not busy

390
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:22.839
now, she's just straight up neglectful. She's like, like, there's there's

391
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:27.319
a scene a little later on where
she calls him and he answers the phone.

392
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.160
He's like yeah, and she's like
are you okay? And he's like

393
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.640
no, I'm fine, and she
says something else and then and then he's

394
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.079
like, there's something I really need
to tell you. And then she's like

395
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.359
I gotta go, like a second
ago, you were curious if something was

396
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:42.240
wrong. And then he says like
I really need to tell you something.

397
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:48.799
She's like bye, bye, Okay. Of the year. So Derek's grown

398
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.039
asked too. Yeah. Derek also
asked about his father, Richard, and

399
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.079
Blaze tells him because Yvonne spoke about
this previously that she had called Palm Springs

400
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.799
and it sounded like Richard and tied
one on a little early. So Richard

401
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:02.640
is out of the picture and Drum
from what we know on New Year's who

402
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.880
gets drunk on New Year Never have
never had drink alcohol in my life,

403
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.720
never even heard of such a thing. Everybody can laugh because Dave over here

404
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:14.279
is drinking the clown. I have
never I've actually never drank alcohol. This

405
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:15.759
is true. So he's trying to
take the wind out of my sales,

406
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.200
but being like, I've never had
a sip of algle in my life.

407
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.480
Meanwhile, it's like, tell,
let's tell one story from you. No,

408
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.839
I'm just or not. I'm not. I mean you know. See

409
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.640
just his reaction to me saying let's
talk about college stops him dead in his

410
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:32.839
tracks. Let's not Let's get back
to New Year's Even. Yeah, you're

411
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:37.839
right. Maybe maybe we'll save that
story for for another movie that there are

412
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:45.079
plenty to go around. Jesus,
do you Even? Movie will be right

413
00:29:45.160 --> 00:30:00.079
back. Welcome back to Do You
Even? Movie? So back in the

414
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.319
studio, hotline is starting, and
this is the countdown to this year's most

415
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.680
popular new wave rock and we are
finding out that they have three time zones

416
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.720
that they're gonna be checking in on. We're gonna be checking in with New

417
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:14.359
York, Chicago, and Aspen,
Colorado at the top of each hour as

418
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.319
it goes to New Year's aka Eastern
Central Mountain time. There we go,

419
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.720
I mean, shocker, Dave when
you were a kid, did you sit

420
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.039
up late and watch the the onions? Actually, my parents were really really

421
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.119
cool in regards the New Year's drops. We used to go to my grandparents'

422
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.400
house. This was actually a long
time ago. We used to go to

423
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:37.400
my grandparents' house and we would like
it would be me, my family,

424
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.079
my grandparents, and like other scattered
family in like a house that had probably

425
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:42.839
like twenty people. When you say
scattered family, I imagine like you show

426
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.599
up and there's just people laying on
the lawn all over. We tied one

427
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.000
off. But no, I have
memories of New Year's like I remember ninety

428
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.200
nine vaguely. I only drink it
a little bit because you were seven.

429
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.160
But no, yeah, I've I've
always been a big New Year's fan,

430
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.559
So yeah, I've had I've had
a lot of fun celebrations with friends and

431
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.599
family through the years. So yeah, I usually am. I don't think

432
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.200
there's ever been a time that I've
missed it since that I can remember.

433
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.319
As a non drinker, New Years
is not the most fun holloway, Yeah,

434
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.079
I could see that, especially when
the people who do want you to

435
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.920
come out want you to drive them
around. And meanwhile, I'm like,

436
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.680
look, I want you to drive
home drunk. That is what I want

437
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.720
for Christmas. And you didn't get
me anything. You know, I'm don't

438
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:32.559
drive. You know what, You're
an adult, do what you want.

439
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:34.880
There we go. But as a
lifestyle guide for do you even move?

440
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:40.200
No? But but it all says
so when I was growing up, we

441
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:42.119
were of course allowed to stay up
late for New Year's and I'm talking like

442
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.480
being five, seven, eight,
nine years old. We would we would

443
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.720
sit up and we would eat like
a meat and cheese tray that my that

444
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.920
I thought was a tradition of New
year Years. And then I found out

445
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.079
know that the reason we always ate
a meat and trees was because my mother's

446
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:05.559
clients at work gave her one every
year. So then she would just shift

447
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:07.559
to the kids and be like here
you go to me and my sister if

448
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.200
she was around. But I remember, we didn't have noisemakers and stuff because

449
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.200
they cost money. So my mom
would go and get the pots and pans

450
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.400
so you can lay them out so
you could bang them together at midnight.

451
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.799
Mom, And well apparently that's what
she did when she was a little girl,

452
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.440
because you would bang the pots and
pans. Yeah, and I was

453
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.680
a nightmare though, because at like
seven eight nine years old, I mean,

454
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.839
I'm still a nightmare, really,
let's be real. But at seven

455
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:32.720
or eight nine years old, I
would do the thing where I would be

456
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.200
like, but now we got to
ringing in the new Year for the Central

457
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:37.880
time zone, Oh that I would
be. I would be ringing in at

458
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:43.039
one am two, but by two
I'd probably be out cold, just wasted

459
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:49.519
on sparkling cider. Which honestly,
that's how I know how close I'm getting

460
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.880
to death is by how much sparkling
cider I can confine consume. How many

461
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.200
years ago was it where you literally
drank that, like the whole two bottles

462
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.599
and you thought you were gonna die. It's been at least like three or

463
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:01.680
four years ago. I want to
say, it's got to be more than

464
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:06.759
that. It used to be that
I would drink like a whole bottle just

465
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.920
on my own. Now I'm lucky
to finish one glass. It's it's too

466
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:16.240
sweet. I'm almost forty. It's
too sweet. But I just wanted to

467
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:20.599
set the stage a little bit about
well New Year's and that got me wondering

468
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.440
too, because I saw a post
A couple of years ago where it was

469
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.680
it was clearly like a guy was
his kids celebrating the back of New Year's

470
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.279
is on the TV. But then
he shows that it's a YouTube like clip

471
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:32.200
from like oh yeah, that's and
I'm wondering, like how many parents like

472
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.400
had it recorded in everything? So
Netflix did that she had a kid's New

473
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.640
Year's celebration where you could just play
press play any time. That way they

474
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.559
could ring in the New Year but
still go to bed at ten or o'clock

475
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.039
at night, or or even better
like three pm. Yes, happy New

476
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.279
Year, it's time to go to
bed. It's still right out. We're

477
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.599
in Alaska. Shut up, you
know, it's like, no, we're

478
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.319
not, We're in Vermont. Who
taught you that? Good? But so

479
00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:01.400
back on Hollywood Hotline, My point
is I sure love a good sparkling cider.

480
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:06.599
Yes, you do, to sip
delicately while I eat olives and think

481
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:09.159
about how much how angry I am
about the last year. Do you have

482
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:13.679
a New Year's movie at all?
You mean that I always watch? Yeah,

483
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.079
No, uh, I've watched.
I've watched New Year's Evil at least

484
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.559
three New Years in a row for
a couple. You're gonna love this.

485
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.119
For a couple of years, Freddy's
Freddy's Dead was my New Year's movie.

486
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:28.119
I'm loving that. I was dating
a woman who that was her favorite Freddie

487
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.719
movie. Yep. And the first
year we were dating, we ended up.

488
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:36.079
We weren't planning on spending New Years
together because we had just started dating,

489
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:38.199
like, we weren't serious at all, but sure enough, at like

490
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:42.159
eleven, I was like, I'm
just sitting at home. What are you

491
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.280
doing? She's like, my mom
went to bed. I mean we're like

492
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:45.440
in her twenties early twenties. She's
like, my mom went to bed.

493
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.920
So I'm just sitting here watching TV. And I was like, do you

494
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.039
want to hang out? She's like
yeah. It was that that stage in

495
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:54.760
dating where you're worried that you're asking
for too much. Mind yeah, so

496
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.480
you're like kind of like feeling out. But then eventually it's like, no,

497
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.599
no, please come on over.
So I remember we came. I

498
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:06.599
came over and we watched we watched
Night of the Comet because it was on

499
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:12.760
television, and then we watched Freddy's
Dead just because she wanted to. And

500
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.159
then we started doing that for a
couple of New Years in a row,

501
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:20.199
but I don't have like a specific
one like last New Year's two years in

502
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.039
a row. I was watching Cobra
Kai. Yeah, because that dropped like

503
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:25.280
right before New Years. That was
awesome. It was. And then one

504
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.800
year I watched Volt of Horror because
I had watched Tales from the Crypt movie

505
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.920
for Christmas. I just watched that
a couple of nights ago. Actually,

506
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.400
so my New Year's movie, it
started about four or five years ago,

507
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.559
is Casablanca. I watched Casablanca every
January. First. Now, really,

508
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.480
I like that you pronounced it two
different ways. Doubt yourself, Casablanca,

509
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:51.599
Casablanca. I was waiting for you
to be like Serbian film man. No,

510
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:57.840
get that New Year's baby in here. So back on Hollywood Hotline,

511
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.559
like I said, the countdown of
this year's most popular new wave rock.

512
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.679
So to give you perspective of of
how this show is run, it is

513
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:07.960
you have a stage that has about
like four or five people on it to

514
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.360
have phones in front of them.
Blaze has a wireless microphone that she walks

515
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:14.440
around the entire studio with, and
then in the pit is all the punks

516
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.760
that are attending the show. In
the pit slam dancing into each other.

517
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.840
And then you have a live band
on on one other side of the stage

518
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.280
too, And that is when we
get the first call, which somebody recommends

519
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:27.360
a song. And then we meet
our killer, who is evil. He

520
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.039
is introduced with no mask. His
name is evil name he wants to be

521
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:36.199
called evil, and he is also
quite quite evil. And he makes his

522
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:43.280
introduction by talking like this, yes, doing some Slawson over there say I

523
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:49.360
to my friend to worstrap baby,
but no, no, And and the

524
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.519
way they depict him making the voice
yeah, is they it looks like he

525
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.159
has like a party favorite in his
mouth that looks like it's a it looks

526
00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:00.199
like a kazoo. Almost it almost, Yeah, it does. And and

527
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.519
Kip Nivian, who plays our Killer, spoilers who is evil. He says

528
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.480
in the bonus material on the disc
that originally they did give him something to

529
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:12.239
change the voice, but it wasn't
working. So he went to Emmitt and

530
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:14.239
he was like, can I just
talk like this? And Emmett was like,

531
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.199
yeah, do that. So that
is Kip Nivin's voice the entire film.

532
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:20.519
Well, I'm guessing that he meant
when, not when they were filming,

533
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.519
but probably when they were dubbing.
When they were duble that, they

534
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.039
were like, we give you a
thing to because I had a voice changer

535
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:30.360
when I was a teenager that I
bought because I saw it and scream spoiler

536
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.360
alert. They didn't use a voice
changer and scream. They hired a different

537
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.400
actor the voice Uh wow, look
at you. But I bought that.

538
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.679
And you could make your voice deep
or you could make your voice high,

539
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:45.000
and I would answer the phone just
with that voice. Of course, people

540
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:50.039
like uh I talked to I'm not
gonna say my mom's name on the show

541
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:55.119
Efair. But so Evil tells Blaze
that he is going to kill somebody at

542
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:59.159
midnight and he's going to call back
and let her know that it went through.

543
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.440
So Blaze thinks this is a joke, and you know, Evil hangs

544
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:07.079
up and she goes back into it. Introduces Shadow, who plays New Year's

545
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:12.559
Evil song. Ohll of course,
come on, it's New Year's New Evil,

546
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:15.159
and Blaze runs over to Ernie and
he tells her not to worry.

547
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:19.599
It's probably just some wacko just having
his kicks and nothing to be concerned about.

548
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.119
Don't even stress about that, babe. So then we watched the Man

549
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.760
who is Evil arrive at a place
that is listed as the Crawford Sanitarium on

550
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.559
the sign that he runs past,
not to be confused with the Crawford Sanatorium

551
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.280
on the other side of town,
so people make that mistake all the time.

552
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.519
So he runs into the building and
he sneaks into the back, and

553
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.880
that is where we see that he
is posing as an orderly and he meets

554
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.880
nurse Jane, who is Taffy what
is her last name? I don't know.

555
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:46.960
You have the notes, I know, hang on, she's gotta find

556
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:51.639
this. This guy writes everything down
and then does it Taffy O'Connell, and

557
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.639
he did it. She is she's
one of the nurses there, and Richard

558
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.159
goes to ask her for help and
she's like, you know, oh,

559
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.199
are you new? He tells new
and that he's got some champagne and that

560
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:04.599
if they would like to, they
can sneak off and celebrate the new year

561
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:10.119
a little early champagne, y'all.
So while this happens, Ernie introduces back

562
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.559
at Hollywood Hotline the extra police that
he's bringing in for Blaze. To comfort

563
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.159
her. She calls Derek trying to
get him on the show, and this

564
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.239
is the scene that Enrique was talking
about. So Derek at this point is

565
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.719
up in his room and he secluded
himself. We see a glass and we

566
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.239
see like six pills next to it. He answers the phone and he's like,

567
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:29.440
you know, I'm not doing okay, and she's like, okay,

568
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:30.000
well, you know, we just
wanted to see if you want to come

569
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:31.559
down. He's like, actually,
if someone want to talk to you,

570
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:35.960
and that's when she's like, up, gotta go by audios boy. So

571
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:37.840
then he hangs up the phone,
takes one of the pills, and then

572
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:44.320
that is when we cut back to
our nurse and Richard in the sanitarium.

573
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:47.559
They're going at it hot and heavy, and we see Richard push a record

574
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:51.960
on his boombox as they do the
countdown and we go to seven, six,

575
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:55.199
five four. He takes out a
switchblade, sticks it up and proceeds

576
00:39:55.199 --> 00:40:00.679
to kill Jane as everybody celebrate in
New Year's over the air. Yeah,

577
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:06.719
and that's one thing I do want
to say about this movie that even though

578
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:08.719
yeah, it is, it is, you know that can't be slasher,

579
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:13.079
that the kills in this are pretty
fucking brutal. They're super brutal. Yeah,

580
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:15.320
and like I said, the film
has a seed miss, Yeah that

581
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.360
I will I will call charming.
Yeah, I would be willing to say

582
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.239
it's a charming seedy miss. I
mean, there's a reason we're talking about

583
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.079
it on the show. It's it's
because we like it. Yep. So,

584
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:29.960
uh, there's a lot to like
about this uh kind of nasty little

585
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.440
movie. Absolutely, and so Midnight
hits in New York and made in Japan.

586
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:36.800
The next band plays as we watch
punks leap off the stage into the

587
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.800
audience off to the side, Like
the punks in this movie are freaking having

588
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:44.679
a great time. They truly,
truly are. I wonder if drugs were

589
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.800
inoved. I wonder as well.
So they keep slam dancing, and then

590
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:51.119
we see that Evil calls back in
and he plays the first kill over the

591
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.400
air, tells them where they can
find the body, that it's somewhere in

592
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:58.960
the Crawford Sanitarium. Yeah. He
carries like a boombox around that he uses

593
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.880
to record the audieno the kills how
well. I mean, I don't know.

594
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:05.519
You know more about boomboxes than me. Okay, yeah, I own

595
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:07.599
several boomboxes and the one that he
has does look somewhat like mine, and

596
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.280
there's no way to record anything outside
of it that's not over airwaves or being

597
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.519
over bluetooth. You don't know that
he doesn't. I mean, actually,

598
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:19.159
when I was a kid, I
did have a boombox that had a microphone

599
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:20.920
in it. I mean I did
too, but like, he doesn't use

600
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:23.079
a microphone. Also, no,
no, I had microphone built in built

601
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.760
into it. I got you.
So back in day trying to pluck holes

602
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.679
in a perfect film. Back in
the Crawford's sanitarium, we see a nurse

603
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:34.800
calling to Jane. She wanders around, follows a trail of blood, finds

604
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.960
a shoe sticking out of a closet, opens the closet and there's Jane's body,

605
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:42.039
which again pretty gruesome. Oh no, this movie's very nasty. Yeah.

606
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:44.960
So back in the hotel room,
we see Derek is just having a

607
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:46.960
great time, kind of losing it. He has a pair of his mom's

608
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:52.559
stockings and he decides to cut them, puts them over his head and I

609
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:59.239
want to say, this scene is
drawn out. He's he's mutilating these stockings

610
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:02.840
in like chew on them, running
through he puts on her ear rings and

611
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:08.480
then he eventually finally pulls it over
his head and then starts mushing his face

612
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:13.119
around and stuff. Basically looks like
Mickey Rourke. Now he does you actually

613
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.599
made that joke while we were watching, because it's true. It's not even

614
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.840
a joke. It was an observation
and something interesting in regards to that scene.

615
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.159
Grant, who plays Derek, talks
about it on the Bonus Features that

616
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:27.639
that was his idea that at the
audition he brought the stockings and the switchblade,

617
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.760
and that's what he did at the
audition. That impressed everybody because apparently

618
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:34.719
the casting director when he asked me, he's like, how was that?

619
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:36.639
And he's like commit him and he's
like, well what do you mean?

620
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:37.559
He's like, you got the job. Tell everybody else to go home.

621
00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:42.480
Do you think it was because they
were afraid to turn him down. They

622
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.800
were like, oh, you brought
those, you brought those from home.

623
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:53.400
Huh, well you got the job, you got the job. Pll do

624
00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:59.199
we have security? No, Managam
sent them all home when they unionized.

625
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:05.079
God. So we see him put
the stocking over his head. He's just

626
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:07.199
having a great old time. And
then that is when we cut back to

627
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:12.599
Evil Richard, who we see putting
on a fake mustache and the mustache he

628
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.840
is going into as disguise into a
club, a really you know, nice

629
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.239
club on Sunset Strip where everybody's having
a good time, smoking, dancing.

630
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:23.039
There's clearly not drugs involved anywhere.
No no chance, no way, no

631
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.199
chance at all. He goes,
I love the people dancing in this call,

632
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.960
by the way, because now we're
not dealing with punks. We're dealing

633
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:35.079
with like like mid twenties to late
to like mid forties people, and they're

634
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.199
just you know, like rocking back
and forth. And it's not just that

635
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.760
they're like, you know, boring
people, it's that they're there are people

636
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.480
dancing in a movie. Yeah,
And I would bet you know, eight

637
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:47.679
bucks, yeah that there was no
music being played for them to dance too,

638
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:50.440
because it was they were like,
can we get some music? Like

639
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:54.440
no, they just look at their
watch like no, no, no,

640
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:59.559
you can't. So by this point, Ernie tells Blaze that the guy that

641
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.719
Evil is real because they've discovered the
body of Crawford's sanitarium. Meanwhile, back

642
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.559
in the club, we find that
Richard is going up to a nice blonde

643
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:12.480
and he's posing as this agent for
Eric a Strada. He's at he's a

644
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.519
businessman. Oh, yes, because
there's agent. She's like, oh,

645
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:17.119
are you an agent? And he's
like, actually, I'm I'm a business

646
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:22.559
manager. I do investments. And
then he's going to eric Estrada's house and

647
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.199
you know what a name to drop
in nineteen eighty. Yes, I'm hanging

648
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:29.440
out with her, you know what. I love that though, because it's

649
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:34.400
believable. Yeah, Like I believe
you could run into somebody who was going

650
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:36.599
to that party. That's true.
But like if if it was like,

651
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.880
you know, I'm going to Gene
Hackman's, you'd be like, are you

652
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:40.880
no, You'd be like, I
don't want to go to Gene Hackman's,

653
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.039
right, I don't want to go
house. So he persuades her to go

654
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:49.719
with him. Meanwhile, back of
Hollywood, Hotline Made in Japan plays Dumb

655
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.679
Blondes and we go see that.
Blaze is kind of having some issues with

656
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:55.559
this, trying to figure out what
she's gonna do, but Ernie assures her

657
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.400
that I got the cops in the
building, nothing to worry about. Meanwhile,

658
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:01.960
Richard is a scorting the woman out
of the bar, and she brings

659
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.360
her friend because you know, she
can't go out with some crazy guy purs

660
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.639
yeah, you're a stranger, and
he's he's any well, no, no,

661
00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:12.760
he's like, oh, of course
you can't be yeah, can't be

662
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:16.039
too careful. They walk past him
and he's just like so, so he's

663
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:19.360
like, my mercedes is right over
here, so he takes him to the

664
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.360
Mercedes. Meanwhile, back of Hollywood
hot Line, lid Lieutenant is playing the

665
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:27.000
recording for Blaze and asking her if
he finds anything distinguishing about the voice.

666
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:30.519
Is there anything she recognizes, any
patterns, nothing that she can see,

667
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:32.719
which again we'll get to later as
to why that's a very ironic. Oh

668
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:37.159
yeah, well ironic, like the
song ironic is not iron not ironic at

669
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:42.480
all. So Chicago time zone is
approaching in the car and the two women

670
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:47.880
are kind of annoying Richard, the
ones talking about transcendental meditation and talking about

671
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:53.360
how it cleared her of her smoking
and her friend's in it cleared her friend's

672
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.920
nervous dis diarrhea, which and then
she's like, come on, what are

673
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:01.719
you talking about that? And he's
getting nervous because the time is approaching he's

674
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:05.079
got to make us kill. By
ten o'clock, he realizes that he's not

675
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.599
going to make it to the destination, so he pulls off to the side

676
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:08.679
because the friend has to go to
the bathroom, and he's like, go

677
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:12.360
inside, use the bathroom. Here's
one hundred dollars bill, and go buy

678
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.519
the biggest damn bottle of champagne that
you can find. So she wanders off.

679
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:19.840
Yeah, and meanwhile the other friend
sitting next to him, he's like,

680
00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.199
hey, do you want to smoke
a joint? And he pulls up

681
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:24.000
this huge bag of weed that does
have weed at bottom. I didn't notice

682
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:27.639
that on this viewing that there are
the leaves like right in the bottom there

683
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.039
that almost go into her mouth because
he puts the bag over her head and

684
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:35.800
proceeds to suffocate her. Ah,
marijuana not even once. Also happening at

685
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:39.760
midnight, so he does record it
at the right time. Oh happy,

686
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:45.960
no here indeed. So the friend
comes back and she sees that her friend's

687
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:50.079
shoe is outside the car, so
she starts following a little traill of garments

688
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.599
and she finds her way to this
dumpster where she pops the lid up and

689
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.880
in one of the creepiest shots of
the whole movie. Richard lights the lighter

690
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:59.800
with this grin on the face and
the fake mustache and pulls her in in

691
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:02.880
the kills her. Yes, really
cool sequence, really cool sequence. So

692
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.400
Richard pulls her in. She's dead
now, so he calls the show's dead

693
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.159
now, she's dead now, don't
worry about her. So he calls the

694
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:14.400
show, plays it once again,
says where to find the bodies again?

695
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.800
And now the cops we see them
trailing it. They find one of the

696
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.360
shoes I think again in the handbag, and Richard has put the body the

697
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:24.800
chick that he's suffocated on a swing
set, so her body's posing on a

698
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:28.840
swing set. Then they go up
to the slide where they find the one

699
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.440
chick's handbag and then she comes down
the slide dead. And so that's how

700
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:35.719
he presents the bodies, which I
did find funny this viewing. I don't

701
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:38.639
know why. I mean, it's
bizarre, especially the way that slides down

702
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:43.519
the slide. Yeah, your immediate
response was like how And I was like

703
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:49.960
gravity, David, gravity, gravity, do you even? Movie? Will

704
00:47:49.960 --> 00:48:04.800
be right back, welcome back to
do you even? Movie? So the

705
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:07.559
cops find the bodies of the women, and now Richard we see dressed as

706
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.679
a priest, so he's putting on
his preest garb as a cop car drives

707
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:15.760
past us too, his finest priest
guard finest priest garb. So he gets

708
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:19.199
to do his car and he's kind
of nervous. He's trying to make sure

709
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.639
that he gets his kills timed out
right again. And meanwhile he pulls up

710
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:24.320
next to a bunch of bikers that
don't take kindly to a priest behind the

711
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:30.079
wheel. Yeah, they're so unprovoked, and the guy just, I forget

712
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:34.000
what does he said? You remember
he said something along hey Padre. I

713
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.639
think he said something like we're passing, yeah, and then he just gives

714
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:42.679
the giant finger like frighten his face's
windows down, like like if Dave was

715
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:49.639
the guy, the priest like that
that close, like almost touched. I

716
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:53.239
know David's we discussed in the contract
with the show, you couldn't touch me.

717
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:58.000
So he's trying to figure out his
next victim, so he's not paying

718
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.840
attention to the road. So he
goes driving off and doesn't realize that he

719
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:07.480
rear ends the bikers who are a
me piste off imagine. So they start

720
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:12.239
climbing onto his car, breaking the
windows, so he drives past them as

721
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.599
best he can, trying to flee
from them. He takes recluse in a

722
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:20.000
drive in. He does, and
this drive in is playing a trailer for

723
00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:23.920
Blood Feast and The Red Queen Kills
seven that plays for the entire duration that

724
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.440
we're in this drive in. Yeah, you hear the audio of it,

725
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.519
the whole way through, the whole
way the screen. Yeah, the whole

726
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:32.719
way through. So then he's trying
to hide in the drive in and he

727
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:36.599
realizes that the bikers come through,
which is hilarious because he pays his way

728
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:38.440
into the drive in drives in everything's
fine, and then we see the ticket

729
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:44.159
attendant trying to stop the bikers as
they're just riding past her no care in

730
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:47.800
the world. And then once again
New Year's is approaching, so he's got

731
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:51.119
to figure out what he's going to
do. Now the bikers have swarmed the

732
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.519
drive in, and he decided that
he's going to make a run for it

733
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:55.199
because the dame his car. So
he gets out of his car and starts

734
00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:59.440
trying to find somewhere to go.
Meanwhile, they find his car start beating

735
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:00.960
the shit out of it, and
one of the bikers confronts him and he's

736
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:04.039
like, hey, Padre, and
he's like, I'm a man of God,

737
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.400
I'll never fight you sticks him to
death, like right in the heart

738
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.119
yit. Now, I want to
say, how cool would it be to

739
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:13.599
spend New Year's at a drive in? I would love that. I mean,

740
00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:15.840
Unfortunately, living in the Midwest as
we do, it's a bit cold.

741
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:20.880
It's a bit chilly. Yeah.
Most drive ins around here are closed

742
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:22.880
by the end of October. Yeah, and we do have quite a few

743
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:27.719
drive ins. Yeah, some of
them, like out East, A couple

744
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:30.079
of the specialty ones will be open
to like the end of November. Oh

745
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:35.880
wow, but it's cold. Yeah. And uh yeah, when when we

746
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:42.320
had COVID hit, wasn't Dixie open
a couple extra weeks or two? Uh?

747
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:45.719
They opened early early, They started
the season early. That's what Okay,

748
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:50.079
I was curious. Yeah, So
now he has stabbed as biker.

749
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:52.400
He finds a car with a couple
making out in it. He gets into

750
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:54.480
the car, pulls the guy out, asks where the keys are on The

751
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:57.840
guys like they're in the addition,
so he gets in the car. He's

752
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:00.159
now kidnapped the young woman who's freaking
out. She's like, you know,

753
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:01.719
take my money. I don't have
much. You can have this ring and

754
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:05.159
you we can even fool around if
you want. I won't say anything,

755
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.000
what does she say. I won't
scream or fight or anything. But she

756
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:10.000
says, like we can even make
it or something. I could even mess

757
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:13.480
around. No, no, it
wasn't mess around. It wasn't It wasn't

758
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.920
a song from Plaine Streams and Automobiles. No, she said like we could

759
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:21.320
even uh do it, do it
or something. Says like a really eighties

760
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:23.639
term for it. Now I'm not
remembering yet, it is like we could

761
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:27.800
even do it. I think that
sounds that sounds about right. So he

762
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.880
meanwhile has he's driving, he just
has the switchblade up, just taunting her

763
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.519
with it. So uh, they
end up pulling off to the side because

764
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.000
there's these two drunk guys that pop
out in front of his car. They're

765
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:42.400
celebrating New Year's they are living their
best. They hid hide one off.

766
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:45.559
They are just like wandering around.
They've got like the hats and they're all

767
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:51.920
just like ah, and they're just
and and there's a whole road and they're

768
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:53.320
only in front of the car,
only in front of his car, So

769
00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:57.360
he stops and she takes this as
her chance to escape, so she gets

770
00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:00.559
out, and then we get to
this really suspensful little pursuit in the woods.

771
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:02.880
So she's running through this little park
area. She comes to these bleachers

772
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:07.400
that she's hiding under, and meanwhile
Richard is like tailing her, kind of

773
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.559
tapping on the bleachers with a switchblade, and also does a really nice gleam

774
00:52:09.559 --> 00:52:14.119
of catching the lights to share the
knighte at one point two. I don't

775
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:15.519
you're so impressed. All you have
to do is twist it until he catches

776
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:17.639
the lights. It's just like that. No, it looks great, it

777
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:21.639
looks cool. Yeah, it looks
right. So anyway, she takes refuge

778
00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:23.679
under I think it was like a
concession stand of something where she's hiding,

779
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:27.639
and the cops have been stopped by
the drunk guys as well, and they

780
00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:29.960
see that something's up, so they
get to the park and they're like,

781
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.960
hey, you know, stop police. So Richard takes off, doesn't get

782
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:35.880
his kill, and now he's not
gonna make his kill for that New Year's

783
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:40.360
time. I know, very very
dishonorable. So back at Hollywood Hotline New

784
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:45.480
Year's Hits in Colorado, Richard misses
his deadline and now the police have locked

785
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:47.920
down the Holiday Inn, which is
a hilarious scene because the lieutenant goes on

786
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:52.559
to stage during a commercial break.
Yeah, he goes, I'm a lieutenant

787
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:59.360
whatever with the lapd and then yeah, this whole punk crowd just starts booming

788
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:04.199
him, calling him names we don't
want to hear from you, peg,

789
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:07.280
It's so funny. He tells them
they can't leave the show, so like,

790
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:09.920
they are basically locked in at this
point until the show's over or until

791
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:13.119
they find evil. Well, no, no, they're allowed out, but

792
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.480
you're not in. Yeah, we
will. We will not allow re entry.

793
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:19.559
Yeah. And also they won't allow
anybody into the holiday and at this

794
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:22.599
point, outside of the hotel it's
completely locked down. So if you're already

795
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:23.599
inside, you can still get inside, but you can't. No, no,

796
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:28.800
you're already Nobody else will be allowed
entry. Yeah. So then the

797
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.719
lieutenant introduces doctor Reed, who is
the psychologist Ablaze, stating that they believe

798
00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:36.280
that he'll be back here at midnight
because this seems to fit his mo so

799
00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:45.559
far. I love in movies police
psychiatrists, because pardon the expression, they're

800
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:52.000
about as useful as a cock ring
at little affair. This tracks they are,

801
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:54.400
they'll they'll just be like, he's
clearly going to try to harm you.

802
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:59.960
No, he's literally calling you to
tell you he's murdering people, threaten

803
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:06.000
the best one in die Hard with
the with the hostage terrorist terrorist hostage.

804
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:09.880
Yeah, yeah, probably experiencing a
kind of Stockholm syndrome. Yeah, No,

805
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:15.920
it's Ellis Is being carried out dead. Yeah. At this point,

806
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:22.840
they'll start to feel their captors are
their protectors. So now Richard arrives at

807
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:25.960
the hotel, he finds that it's
locked down and that he cannot get in,

808
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:30.760
and so he decides that he's going
to sneak around back through the parking

809
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:34.760
garage, and he does so.
He gets into the garage and he sees

810
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.320
two cops guarding the lobby entrance.
So he calls one of the cops or

811
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:39.679
one of the guards over and he's
like, I found a drunk over here.

812
00:54:39.719 --> 00:54:43.239
So he can't see him, he
just hears his voice. The cop

813
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.559
comes around, he hits him with
the brick, and what I failed to

814
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:47.880
mention The killer hits the cop ye
brick the killer. The killer hits the

815
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:54.400
cop with the brick. This cops
also a little bigger than Richard. He's

816
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.880
got he's a bit of a tubby
bull. He's got some pounds on him,

817
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:00.159
more so than Richard. But somehow
the uniform f it's him just oh

818
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:04.679
so right, black is very slimming. It is very slimming. This is

819
00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:08.000
true. So knocks out the cop
takes his uniform. Meanwhile, back inside

820
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:12.519
Hollywood, hotline resumes made in Japan, starts playing a song called Bonzai,

821
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.360
and everybody slam dances but zombie like
back and forth because at this point,

822
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:21.159
everybody's worn out at the freaking show. Well it's like they've been dancing for

823
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:27.239
hours on hours on live TV.
Uh you gotta keep the uh the cocaine

824
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:30.840
flowing people to dance that long,
Right, that's true. So Richard sneaks

825
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:35.360
inside, stripping into his regular clothes, and Blaze is now escorted by a

826
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.039
guard back to her room. And
we see that Richard is also messing around

827
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:40.280
with a box, but we'll get
to that here in a second, like

828
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.920
an electric box. So she goes
into the room, but the cop or

829
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.039
the guard goes in first, he
searches it finds Derek, who he pulls

830
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:50.119
a gun on, and Blaze has
to run in and be like, no,

831
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:52.440
no, no, no, that's
my son. Don't shoot my son

832
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:55.079
or maybe do or do at this
point, I mean, for all she

833
00:55:55.239 --> 00:55:58.920
cares. My god, yeah,
I mean like again, mother of the

834
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:01.280
goddamn Year, and appropriately, Derek
is pretty upset to see her. He

835
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:04.719
tells her once again that he had
news for herb right now or he has

836
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:06.800
a surprise ERB, but right now, he just doesn't care, and he

837
00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:09.599
storms off. She tries to chase
after him, but she sits down to

838
00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:14.119
her vanity while the guard sits outside, and she's just really distraught at this

839
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:16.639
point. Meanwhile, behind her,
Richard has snuck into the room. He's

840
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:21.039
been in the bathroom this entire time. Uh, he has a creepy mask

841
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:23.440
on that he started the movie out
with or wait, oh did did he?

842
00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:25.559
I can't remember now? No,
I think the mask is new,

843
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:29.360
Yeah, you're right, yeah,
so the mask. He puts this really

844
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:31.800
creepy mask on and he's sneaking up
behind her, and that's when we reveal

845
00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:37.440
that Evil is Richard, who is
Blaze's husband, and Richard is Evil and

846
00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:44.239
Richard is evil. So he tells
her that he wanted to be a surprise,

847
00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:45.559
but not a very good one at
this point, and that he rushed

848
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:49.639
over when he heard all the news
about the killer, except he has no

849
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:53.199
idea that it's actually real and the
bodies are piled up. Great great twist,

850
00:56:53.239 --> 00:56:57.199
great reveal, because when he pulls
the mask off, you're expecting,

851
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:00.679
like this to be the big killer, yeah, confrontation moment, yeah,

852
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:04.199
and instead she just goes, oh, oh, okay, it's you and

853
00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:07.840
you're like, wait what and then
you find out it's her husband all along.

854
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:10.039
Great twist, great twist, Far
too good of a twist for this

855
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:15.079
movie, for New Year's Evil.
So he tells the guard outside that he's

856
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:15.719
in the room, and the guard's
like, well, how'd you get in

857
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:17.440
there? And he's like, well, her agent, Ernie, let me

858
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:22.360
up, and so he goes to
radio Ernie. We next see Richard is

859
00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:24.480
messing with an elevator box, looking
at a monitor that he is hooked up

860
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:29.559
to that as the camera inside the
elevator and the lieutenant. We cut back

861
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:32.440
to him downstairs as Ernie tells him
that Richard's car is the one that they

862
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:36.960
found at the drive in and also
with the stabbing victim, and that Richard

863
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:39.079
is in the hotel because he get
the clearance, and that's when Ernie's like,

864
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:44.760
I did not give him any clearance. Now we get to the exciting

865
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:49.880
portion because black back in the back. They also revealed by the way that

866
00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:52.800
Richard was in the sanitarium that he
visited. That's how they figured out that

867
00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:57.039
he had been in there at some
point. So Blaze enters the elevator with

868
00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:00.760
the guard. He gets ambushed by
Richard because he he is fussing with the

869
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:02.920
elevator. He drops it down,
he freezes it and then makes it go

870
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:06.519
up, opens the door, goes
in and knocks the guard out because at

871
00:58:06.519 --> 00:58:08.599
this point he's shaking the elevator.
They fall into the ground and that's when

872
00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:12.559
he drops down next to Blaze,
who's panicked at this point, and he

873
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:16.360
tells her that he is that he's
evil by playing the recording and she's like,

874
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:21.519
why did you do it? And
that's when Richard delivers this dialogue that

875
00:58:21.599 --> 00:58:27.119
basically goes into him stating that he
feels castrated by Blaze and Yvonne because he's

876
00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:30.519
had to ask for his allowance from
them, and also that she's doing the

877
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:34.800
same thing to his son and he
won't allow it. So it's all jealousy

878
00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:39.400
because she's super duper famous apparently,
even though we barely see her do anything

879
00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:45.559
requiring any talents se except for hating
on Derek apparently. I mean that's pretty

880
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.119
good. He also does state that
she's selfish and she's a moral and that

881
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:52.079
her and Yvonne were one of the
same. They short changed him and basically

882
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:58.280
castrated him. I love that he
uses that phrasing too. So he states

883
00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:02.280
that tomorrow starts his new life because
they're gonna let her sleep in and he

884
00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:07.079
plans to take his son to the
Rolls Rose Bull and that we see the

885
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:09.119
guards wandering the hotel. They're looking
for him, they're not finding anything.

886
00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:15.000
Meanwhile, Richard then chains Blaze to
the bottom of the elevator. Yes,

887
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.119
he chains her to the bottom of
the elevator, which again he's taking control

888
00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:21.519
of, and tells her to enjoy
her going away party and get smashed.

889
00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:25.079
I love that. And get smashed
is the best part because for those who

890
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:30.760
don't know so that could mean getting
a little uh tipshit. So he sends

891
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:32.960
her up the shaft to the top, revealing Yvonne's body that he stashed at

892
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.760
the tops of Now Blaze sees that
Yvonne is officially dead in the elevator.

893
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:40.480
This really partied out couple enters.
They're just leaning against the wall and like

894
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:45.480
have streamers like deck down all over
them, and he starts dropping the elevator

895
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:50.079
down super fast, and it's hilarious
because the couple inside the mail is like,

896
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:52.519
the fuck is going on here?
It's just like, what the hell?

897
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:55.719
So the party couple starts screaming.
They start messing with the buttons.

898
00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:00.559
Meanwhile, backupstairs, the cops find
Richard. They ambush him at the at

899
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:02.920
the elevator box and then they start
having a firefight back and forth, trading

900
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.559
bullets. It hits the elevator box, it starts dropping the elevator again.

901
01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:10.000
Then they start shooting the shit out
of it and it completely stops the elevator,

902
01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:15.159
so Blaze is saved for the time
being. We now see Richard go

903
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.159
running up to the top of the
roof and he gets to the top and

904
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:20.119
like you can kind of see that
he doesn't know what he's gonna do,

905
01:00:20.360 --> 01:00:23.039
Like he he's a corner, he's
he's pretty much not planned for this to

906
01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:27.039
go so poorly. Yeah, So
he decides that he's going to put his

907
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:29.840
mask on again, and he just
laughs as one of the cops walks up,

908
01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:31.800
pulling a gun on him, telling
him to drop the swischblade, drop

909
01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:36.280
his knife, and then he stands
on the edge recites some lines from Hamlet,

910
01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:39.119
such as to die to sleep no
more, and then he jumps off

911
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:44.280
of the roof to the bottom,
killing himself. Yes, and it is

912
01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:49.440
an exquisite dummy. Exquisite. Yeah, it's a very clear dummy that falls

913
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.840
down. He hits the ground.
Derek rushes to his body and removing the

914
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:55.599
mask and starts caressing his father's hair, which of course is covered with blood.

915
01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:58.800
And did you see at this point
too that like Richard's arm is like

916
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:01.320
behind him. I never notice.
Yeah, he's completely foodbar, he's completely

917
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.320
food wart. So Derek gets pulled
away by a cop. He takes the

918
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:07.679
mask with him, and he gets
a look that you just kind of like,

919
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:10.840
Okay, something's not right about this. Meanwhile, they've gotten Blaze free

920
01:01:10.840 --> 01:01:15.280
from the elevator. They're escorting her
out on a stretcher, yeah, to

921
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.119
the ambulance, and we see her
get put into the ambulance and one of

922
01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:21.239
the meds tells him, okay,
we're ready to go. The camera pans

923
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:23.440
into the driver's seat, where we
see Derek sporting the mask, and then

924
01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:27.679
we cut over to the side where
he has killed the original driver, who

925
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.719
looked a lot like a young John
Carpenter. I didn't think that was too

926
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:32.599
much. He is not, it's
not, but it sure did look like.

927
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.719
And now they're driving away as we
hear Happy New Year from Hawaii.

928
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:42.000
The credits roll and that, my
friends, is a very very New Year's

929
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:49.679
Evil. Oh boy, yes,
that is New Year's Evil, New Year's

930
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:53.199
level. And baby, what a
film. It is a really fun experience.

931
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:59.480
Yeah, a film that I cannot
recommend enough for the WTF factor,

932
01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:02.639
the gore factor, the violence factor, the sleeves factor, then the eighties

933
01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:07.800
nostalgia fast nostalgia. Yeah. The
thing I love about New Year's Evil is

934
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.000
the setup of it with the rock
show and just the overall performance by Kip

935
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:15.599
Niven, who plays Richard, because
if it wasn't for him, Because that's

936
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:19.920
one of the things I love about
this particular slasher is it's not like a

937
01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:22.320
lot of other ones because we get
the killer reveal literally the first like five

938
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:24.840
minutes in. Yeah, well,
well we get a reveal, but we

939
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:28.239
don't know who, don't know who
it is. Yeah, we are following

940
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:30.280
the killer around, which I always
find interesting it because it kind of feels

941
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:32.760
like Henry in that way. Yeah, I would agree. I mean the

942
01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:37.039
fact that his identity we we think
we know who the killer is, that

943
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:40.559
he's just some psycho guy yea,
And by seeing his face right away we

944
01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:44.199
assume we don't know who he is, yes or that, and that nobody

945
01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:47.199
does. Yeah. And then when
he I love the reveal. The reveal

946
01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:50.440
is so good, so great,
when he just looks at me and goes,

947
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:53.880
oh huh you Yeah, so good. And I think too like the

948
01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:59.159
kills, like I mentioned, are
super super heinous, and the movie itself

949
01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:00.840
is pretty campy. I mean,
especially with the concert and everything. But

950
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:05.280
this is y. There is not
a slow moment in this movie. No,

951
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:09.719
it books. It moves and moves
and moves. So I cannot recommend

952
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:13.760
New Year's Evil enough. This is
one hundred percent stream it for me.

953
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:16.760
You can currently get it available on
several platforms, so you can find it

954
01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:21.119
pretty easily. There is a recent
Blu ray that did come out from Keno,

955
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:23.159
which is what we actually screened tonight. It has a new two K

956
01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:28.000
restoration on it. It has a
making up that's about like thirty minutes long

957
01:03:28.039 --> 01:03:30.960
that speaks to Kip Niven, Thomas
Ackerman, Grant and Taffy. And there's

958
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:36.559
also a commentary on it with the
director Emmett that's led by Rip Banana Man

959
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:39.800
of Code Red Rest in Peace Banana
Man. So that is New Year's Evil.

960
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:44.920
I mean, what more can you
say about this fantastic film. No,

961
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:46.880
It's a blast from start to finish. I would also give it a

962
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:51.079
stream it. I mean, if
you're a massive collector, then owning it

963
01:03:51.159 --> 01:03:53.719
is obvious. Yeah, But otherwise, this is definitely something you could have

964
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:59.039
for when you and your buddies are
hanging out near New Year's Yeah, you

965
01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:00.760
know, if you need something to
put on that's ridiculous, something that's gonna

966
01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:05.119
go very well with your nachos,
Yes, then I think that that is

967
01:04:05.239 --> 01:04:09.400
definitely the way to go. And
if you're a New Year's Evil fan,

968
01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:12.480
we always like to do a recommendation
on this show as well. I'm gonna

969
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:16.920
recommend Enrique's suggestion actually to go along
with the punk atmosphere of this film,

970
01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:21.800
nineteen eighty five Demons, a group
of random people are invited to a screening

971
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:26.119
of a mysterious movie, only to
find themselves trapped in the theater with ravenous

972
01:04:26.159 --> 01:04:30.800
demons. This movie is fucking bonkers
and a blast if you don't know demons,

973
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:32.039
I mean, it's a great film, super fun and yeah, I

974
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:35.440
think that the vibe with all the
ridiculous punks, Yeah, it kind of

975
01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:39.559
picks up in there. So it's
a good companion. And it's Italian.

976
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:43.920
That is Italian, so it's crazy. It's a nineteen eighties Italian movie,

977
01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:46.039
so it is nuts. So New
Year's Evil nineteen eighty Like I said,

978
01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:48.960
you can find it readily available on
streaming platforms. You can get a Blu

979
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:53.199
ray from Shout or even Keino.
Make sure you check it out if you

980
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:57.519
haven't. Perfect movie for this time
of year. Absolutely, So before we

981
01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:00.880
wrap this up, yes, sir, Dave, hmm, what are your

982
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:05.480
New Year's resolutions? My New Year's
e solutions are Actually I do have three,

983
01:05:05.719 --> 01:05:09.639
three that I've actually been se I
was joking. I'm I'm not joking

984
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:12.280
too late. You now you have
to tell them. So I want to

985
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:15.159
read more. I have a large
collection of books, as you've seen,

986
01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:17.079
and I don't know how many years
they've been sitting that I was super excited

987
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:19.119
to get them. So I want
to read a little bit more. I

988
01:05:19.159 --> 01:05:23.239
would love to see you learn how
to read. You're funny. I want

989
01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:26.239
to write a little more on top
of that, because I feel like I

990
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:33.719
could maybe possibly contribute to another podcast
you do, possibly, And I want

991
01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:38.679
to get more people on do You
Even movie because I'm having a blast doing

992
01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.480
this show with you and I'm looking
super super forward to it as we go

993
01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:45.199
into twenty twenty four. What we
all have to offer, Well, I'm

994
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:49.800
glad an upset to be loosely involved
in two of your goals. Yeah.

995
01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:55.079
Yeah. If I add a New
Year's resolution, which I don't, it

996
01:05:55.119 --> 01:05:58.239
would be it would be to read
more. Yeah, although I read for

997
01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:03.039
Weekly Spooky constantly, but I'm trying
to read a little bit more for fun.

998
01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:05.559
You've been reading a lot more of
your physical books, more so than

999
01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:10.840
they've just been sitting my physical books, your physical copies of books you read

1000
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:13.920
on your reader a lot. But
I know you've been reading your actual books

1001
01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:17.079
too. I get around the time
too, so but Yeah, you can't

1002
01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:21.880
beat New Year's Evil, a film
that reminds you if you don't, if

1003
01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:28.320
you don't love your son, if
you make too much money, you're dead,

1004
01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:35.079
