Ravenous (1999) Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, & Neal McDonough

Ravenous (1999) Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, & Neal McDonough

Henrique and David enter the frozen Sierra Nevada for Ravenous (1999), Antonia Bird’s genre-bending Western horror film written by Ted Griffin. In 1847, traumatized Mexican-American War veteran Captain John Boyd is exiled to remote Fort Spencer after an act of survival is mistaken for heroism. When a stranger named Colqhoun arrives with a horrifying account of a stranded wagon party and cannibalism, the soldiers mount a rescue mission that exposes a threat more dangerous—and more seductive—than anyone expects.
Guy Pearce plays the haunted Boyd opposite Robert Carlyle’s mercurial Colqhoun, with Jeffrey Jones as Colonel Hart, David Arquette as Private Cleaves, Jeremy Davies as the devout Toffler and Neal McDonough as the combative Reich. The hosts examine Bird’s abrupt tonal shifts among frontier drama, grisly horror and pitch-black comedy, plus the deliberately eccentric score by Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman. Their spoiler-conscious conversation addresses cannibalism, gore and war trauma while preserving the twists behind Colqhoun’s arrival and Fort Spencer’s unraveling.
Both hosts remember the film as an underseen discovery rather than an obvious studio release. One first encountered its striking trailer or home-video preview in childhood, and the discussion expands into their earliest experiences with cannibal stories and why that particular horror taboo can provoke a uniquely physical response. Henrique and David also consider the isolation of the fort, the desperate hunger running through the plot and the way Ravenous turns consumption into a metaphor for conquest, ambition and the mythology of the American frontier.
Production discussion covers Bird’s arrival after the project changed directors, the climactic showdown’s heavy use of fake blood and the film’s later cult reputation. The story invokes the Wendigo, and the hosts discuss that association while recognizing that a horror-movie monster should not be treated as a complete account of the diverse Indigenous traditions from which the term comes. Originally selected to close the podcast’s winter-favorites series, this episode celebrates a strange, confrontational film whose performances, anti-Western themes, bursts of violence and playful musical identity resist easy classification even today.

12
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.879
said you drove here. That's fair, that's fair. But I'm your host,

13
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.719
Enrique Kuto here with my good buddy
and co host Double D David Denier,

14
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:48.400
and tonight, tonight, we are
talking about a film that I had

15
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:56.719
the trailer etched in my brain my
entire childhood because the trailer was pretty scary,

16
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.439
but also it was just ad nauseum
at the theater. It was on

17
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.519
tapes that we were renting at the
time, and that is what you did.

18
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.400
This come out with nineteen ninety nine
ravenous and it's I would call it

19
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.479
a gem, an unrated or unrated
say I'm doing your thing now, I

20
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.039
stole your gig. Dave one of
our buddies, by the way, are

21
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.039
our bunny? Patrick asked about last
week's show. Just thought it was like,

22
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.000
did Dave have a seizure or something, because you just started to say

23
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.719
like he was a real heart drop
of of what I was. No,

24
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:37.319
no, no, but no,
this one was definitely underrated. And I

25
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.039
think we're going to really notice that. I don't remember the exact numbers of

26
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.560
the box office, but when we
get there, I know that it was.

27
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.240
I know that it was painful,
very painful, very painful. So

28
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:53.000
and we do want to mention this
film features many acts of cannibalism. Yes,

29
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.000
And and you know the funny thing
is, I mean it seems like

30
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.319
mainstream media, like a movie's,
TV shows whatever, kind of do like

31
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.080
a little bit of cannibal then a
little then they kind of run away for

32
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.240
a while, but whenever they come
back to cannibalism, they always go all

33
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.240
the way, because like, I
feel like, there was no mainstream media

34
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.840
of cannibalism for years and years,
and then we got Hannibal the TV series.

35
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.560
We both watched the whole thing,
right, you see the whole thing

36
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.439
multiple times? Man, you've watched
it multiple times. I mean it's a

37
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.800
long series. Three seasons. Well, season two is the best, in

38
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.639
my opinion. Season season three they
were told they could do whatever they want

39
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.599
because they were getting canceled, which
was fun, but there were whole episodes

40
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.159
where it took me until like the
last three minutes to know what was going

41
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.199
to find out what was going on, or to figure out how it related

42
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.680
to anything. Wasn't there a whole
one on a train and I was completely

43
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.000
I was trying too. That's the
worst part. That's what made me frustrating.

44
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.719
It wasn't that they were doing weird
artistic stuff. What pissed me off

45
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.240
was that I was actively watching and
still confused. That was why I was

46
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.199
mad, like, hey, where's
maar? You know? Yeah? No,

47
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.919
I was sitting there going like,
wow, I love what they're what

48
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.400
so but we we we talked about
you and I were watching some of the

49
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.639
other trailers, and boy did they
try a few different ways to market Rabbitable.

50
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.319
But that first trailer that I showed
you right before we started, that

51
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.040
one was the one I always saw
and it made the movie look really scary,

52
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.319
which it is scary, but it's
it's This film has a very interesting

53
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.600
tone. Tone is the perfect word. Yeah, a very different tone,

54
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.279
and every time I watch it,
I forget that. The film itself,

55
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.759
especially in the first two acts,
has quite a sense of humor of itself.

56
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.240
Very black comedy. Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely very very like,

57
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.040
uh, dark and creepy, but
funny, like there are these little gags

58
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.360
to it. Yeah, I mean
the fact that the opening scene is,

59
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.680
after these guys looking at stakes,
the main character steps, he runs off,

60
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.240
vomits, and then literally as soon
as the puke leaves his mouth,

61
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.000
Ravenus comes up on the screen.
I love that. But what an interesting

62
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.639
choice. And that's something that I
said, I really do think once the

63
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.439
third act kicks in the movie,
and we'll talk about it in detail,

64
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:23.000
but yeah, it kind of eases
off of being completely out of its mind

65
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.480
as far as its presentation style.
But that that first act and second act,

66
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.759
there are just these little choices that
they made. Yeah, absolutely,

67
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.759
but I can't say that they hurt
the film because I'd forget them because they

68
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.040
don't fit the tone I remember.
But they make the film very memorable well.

69
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.959
And I think going back to the
trailers again, I think the key

70
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.519
to understanding Ravenous is that it is
it's a it's a horror Western, but

71
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.720
like in the like tonal shift of
From Dust Till Dawn in a little bit,

72
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.079
because it's like you kind of start
out with a paranoia story. No,

73
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.680
that's well, I mean, I
think it's hard head no, but

74
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.800
it is a pretty hard shift because
they go out and the woods and basically

75
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.000
everything changes after they go into the
woods. Which is something that even I

76
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.839
kind of forget, is that you
meet your cast of characters then lose almost

77
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.959
all of them before the second act
even starts. So I would kind of

78
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.639
agree that in a way, From
Dust Till Dawn is in there, the

79
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.560
only difference being that they make it
very clear and Ravenous pretty early on that

80
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.160
you're getting a cannibal story as to
wear it. From dust Till Dawn they

81
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.439
like desperately want you did not know
about the vampires. It's not right in

82
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.279
the middle. I'm almost certain Now
I could be wrong, but I doubt

83
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.839
it. It's at least I want
to say, at least forty minutes of

84
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.800
that movie for the Switch of the
Vampires. But we're not here to talk

85
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.560
about from Dust no, no,
So before we get into it, one

86
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.000
small thing I want to say is
just a humongous thank you. Got a

87
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:54.240
lot of really nice comments about about
when I talked about Chicano's passing my rescue

88
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.319
dog, Chicano. I just want
to say thanks, Thank you guys for

89
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:02.839
commenting, whether it was commenting on
the show or sending in a message on

90
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:08.959
socials or whatever. Just thank you. I really appreciate it, so appreciate

91
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.560
it. And on that note,
I have something in my eye and uh

92
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.800
no, I oh wow, I
didn't even so. I didn't even think

93
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.160
that that was me being cute.
No, I literally, like, literally

94
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.040
something out of my eye. I
hope you noticed that my tone changed to

95
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.959
very annoyed. Yeah, I wasn't
like, oh no, no, I

96
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.480
mean literally something through my eye was
really making me mad. But so we're

97
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:36.240
gonna dive headfirst into ravenous. But
before we do, before we dive into

98
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:40.439
it, I want to ask you, Dave yes, sir, when it

99
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:46.680
comes to cannibalism in movies and television, what was if you can remember,

100
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.519
what was your first exposure to cannibalism
in the movies, Because I gotta tell

101
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.759
you right now, Davey, I'm
sure I've told you this before. Cannibalism

102
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.720
is a is a taboo in movies
that actually gets to me quite a bit.

103
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.680
Yeah, there something I cannot stand
about the idea of a person being

104
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.079
reduced to just meat meat. It
really bothers me. That's why Hannibal got

105
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.959
to me so badly because in Hannibal, they would like shoot it like it

106
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.560
was the Food Network. Yeah,
but they would be like, see this

107
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.120
meat, it's a person. And
then it would be gorgeously seasoned and beautifully

108
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.839
arranged and fried and you know,
oat milk and butter and all this shit,

109
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.439
and that would like really make me
want a puke. Yeah. If

110
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.639
anything made me closer to trying being
a vegan, which I did do it

111
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.600
shortly after it was, it was
actually Hannibal. Because Hannibal made me like

112
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.759
sick to my stomach. So my
question to you is, what was the

113
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.000
first experience with cannibalism and media that
you can recaller that really stuck with you

114
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.440
or what have you. So there's
two that come to mind right off the

115
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.120
bat is my mom was watching Silence
of the Lambs on TV when I was

116
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.360
a young kid. Yeah, that's
a good one. And it was the

117
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.559
scene where he displays displays the moth
that ever or the butterfuly, I can't

118
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.679
remember what it is, but anyway, he kills the two guards, and

119
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.320
I remember just him lunging at Charles
Napier's face and that was, oh,

120
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.360
yeah, bit his nose, yeah, which is one of the few times

121
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.480
in that film that Hannibal Lecter is
just a friggin monster cannibal creature. No,

122
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.360
absolutely. And the other instance is
in my junior high library, we

123
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.039
had a book on horror films that
went up to, I want to say

124
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.759
about the nineties. I was actually
talking to our good buddy Birdman about this

125
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.159
on an episode that we recorded a
week or so back, and it was

126
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.759
up to the nineties. So you
had everything in there from like the early

127
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.240
twenties, thirties and up and the
seventies. They did a piece on raw

128
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.159
Meat aka Deadline, the Gary Sherman
cannibal film. They had a shot of

129
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.440
one of the Campibell eyes like eating
corpses in it, and I remember just

130
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.480
like looking at the eye and like
the teeth parks and everything, and I

131
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.919
was like, that's so fucked up. So like those two that are that

132
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.559
I can recall. The one that
probably stuck with me the most out of

133
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.600
any of them was there is a
scene in Oh my god, what movie

134
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.639
is it now? I'm blanking uh
baby Geniuses too. There's a scene in

135
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.440
Cannibal and Cannibal the Musical, the
Trademarker the bass, Yeah, based on

136
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:13.120
Out for Packer, the scene the
opening scene where he is just taking apart

137
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.279
those corpses and like eating their faces. Like, yeah, it's always stuck

138
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.679
with me because I'm just like that
is them shooting for the fences right off

139
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.759
the bat. Yeah, they weren't. They weren't screwing around. No.

140
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.159
I love Cannibal Musical. So okay, those are interesting and and and fascinatingly

141
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.360
enough, none of my answer,
oh I'm all your you. You did

142
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:37.639
not tackle a single one of mine. So my number one cannibal experience now,

143
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.440
and I'm not going to count zombie
movies and stuff, because zombies are

144
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:48.799
not people. They're zombies, but
as a cannibalism represents an into a an

145
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.919
inside species act. These things cannot
be considered human. Therefore, it is

146
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.720
not an act of cannibalism. To
quote Donna the Dead, but yes,

147
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.679
you are my numero uno and you're
gonna go. Uh was Texas Chaninseeil massacre?

148
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.600
Oh, that was the one that
like I was like whoa, And

149
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.759
I remember being really freaked out by
the concept of cannibalism. But it was

150
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.320
played Now, I was played down
a little bit in the way that like

151
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.879
you you know, basically right at
the end, when they like cut her

152
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.600
finger and let Grandpa suck on it, or and when they're trying to bash

153
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.080
her head in and when they show
the barbecue hooks, those are like the

154
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.559
only moments that really settle in this
idea that these kids are not just being

155
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.120
killed, they're being slaughtered, and
they're being slaughtered in food. Now,

156
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.159
I remember when she rushes into the
room and you just see the lamp shades

157
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.200
and all the feathers and thing like
that is really chilling me, even very

158
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.399
chilling. But even that doesn't necessarily
scream cannibalism. It doesn't, see what

159
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.720
I mean, Like I say,
that's why it's like in that last twenty

160
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.399
minutes is when you start to go
But I'll tell you and this is gonna

161
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.879
you're again. You're gonna be like, WHOA, I'll tell you what My

162
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:05.919
numeral uno of of of child,
childhood, Horror of Cannibalism. The Parents,

163
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.120
Yeah, that was on cableh and
I saw that when I was probably

164
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.639
ten or eleven, and the idea
for those who don't know, Parents is

165
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.120
a film starring Randy Quaid and I
forget who played the mom in it,

166
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.039
but Parents. It's a really strange
black comedy movie where cannibalism is I would

167
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.360
say, not even loosely a.
It's symbolic for sex. Yeah, the

168
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:37.200
idea of sex and the idea of
how children view sex, because children see

169
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.720
sex is just a taboo, a
taboo that they're not supposed to have any

170
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.399
part in, but that adults are
constantly having a pardon. And that's why

171
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.759
there's this whole scene in the movie
where the parents are like, you think

172
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.799
they're like making out, but then
it reveals they're eating meat together and he's

173
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.080
freaked out by it. But that's
what when I was like, wow,

174
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.960
yeah, this is a metaphor about
the forbiddenness of sex when you're a kid,

175
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.320
and how it is kind of startling
the idea that your parents are having

176
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.240
Well YEA love watching about realization when
I was sitting next to you or your

177
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.879
watching that blue ray. Yeah,
no, I mean that was when I

178
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.759
realized that it was barely subtext,
that it was very clearly intentioned. But

179
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:20.039
so I remember watching that film on
some cable channel pri TBS or TNT and

180
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.440
being mortified. Mortified is the perfect
word, literally mortified, because it's not

181
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.600
just a movie about cannibalism. It's
a movie about your own parents turning on

182
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.720
you. Yeah, and and and
that's terrifying because it's you know, another

183
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.159
movie that brings those vibes really well, Toby Hooper's Invaders from Mart has that

184
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.279
whole concept like your parents are coming
to get you enough, and yeah,

185
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.879
to an extent, I agree,
But I feel like those two films like

186
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.519
play that fear up so much because
it's like that they're supposed to take care

187
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.600
of you, and you're so vulnerable
if your parents don't want to take care

188
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.720
of you. So anyway, those
were my big initial cannibal movie. I

189
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.840
did think of one more, which
kind of relates back to what we're going

190
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.559
to talk about. Was Nicholson' speech
about Thedaughterer party in the Shining. Oh

191
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.919
man, I see the Shining is
seventeen days long, so I forget most

192
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.120
of it. But no, that's
a good Now I want. I actually

193
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.799
am in the mood to watch the
Shining gets good. Uh. I like

194
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.039
the mini series more. I know, I don't care what people think.

195
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.039
Mini series is getting rereleased by the
way I heard it put in proper aspect,

196
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.679
right, Yeah, yeah, but
I like the mini series. But

197
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.120
there's just something great about Kuber's version. But I will say I really love

198
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.039
Doctor Sleep. I've probably seen Doctor
Sleep at least like four times in the

199
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.559
last couple of years. I've watched
it twice since it came out. I

200
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:39.759
liked it both Love Sleep. I
watched once in the theater and then I

201
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.759
watched once the director's writ cut.
Yeah yeah, and I liked it.

202
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.759
I liked it quite a bit.
Yeah do you Even? Movie? Will

203
00:14:48.799 --> 00:15:03.279
be right back. Welcome back to
Do You Even? Movie? Just honorable

204
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.559
mentions in cannibals. I was very
young when I first saw my How old

205
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.759
were you when you saw your first
Italian cannibal movie? I had to have

206
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.519
been at least fifteen or sixteen.
Really, yeah, that young. Yeah,

207
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.639
because at that point I was able
to get them in the house easier

208
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.200
because I could get them from FYE
because oh yeah, that's true. Accessibility

209
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.440
was higher because they were on DVD. Yeh. Cannibal Holocaust was the first

210
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.279
one I think that we ever watched. My first cannibal movie was probably slaved

211
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.120
to the Cannibal God because that was
on its public domain, or at least

212
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.960
it was considered so it was on
a DVD I could afford. But I

213
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:45.039
literally my friend and mentor, Andy
Copp, literally would not let me watch

214
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.000
Cannibal Fairroks because he had had a
hand in releasing it on VHS at one

215
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.039
time. He would not let me
watch it until I was at least sixteen.

216
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.840
Yeah, So I didn't get to
see like any real deal banana peel

217
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.840
cannibal movies until I was sixteen seventeen. But it was really hard to get

218
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.159
them. Yeah, there was no
DVD available. It was like my buddy

219
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.799
who provides me with all the bootlegs
of things that were hard to get back

220
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.600
in the day, was like,
no, yeah, I could see him.

221
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:12.120
It was Cannibal Ferox and his own
film, Mutilation Man would not let

222
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:18.159
me watch it close. Second though, was Zombie Holocaust Doctor Put Your MD,

223
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.240
which is almost a cannibal movie,
but then it becomes a zombie movie.

224
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.960
I saw that in horror Rama yeah, when I was probably fourteen or

225
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:29.320
fifteen. But even those cannibal movies, for as nasty and mean spirited as

226
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.799
they can be, and we really
have to cover one sometimes show absolutely will,

227
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.440
But for as nasty and mean spirited
and gross as they can be,

228
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:41.559
they're so freaking gonzo that you almost
can't get sick from it. Yeah,

229
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.039
Like it's just so it's just so
everybody rushes, somebody grabs them, starts

230
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.519
pulling at them, and then their
body parts come apart. Meggiata Viv.

231
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.559
It's like you have the cannibal movie, but then you also have this Jim

232
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.919
Jones story built around it, So
there's so much craziness going on in that.

233
00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.480
Yeah. Mengiata Viv is aka Alive. Yeah, is just one of

234
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.920
our favorite things. As we mentioned
before, a Christmas Christmas movie here at

235
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.599
at do you even movie? It's
a Christmas picture. So I just wanted

236
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.480
to digress a little bit about cannibalism
and movies because I am not a squeamish

237
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.079
Well now I'm a kind of squeamish, can't be hyah well, but I

238
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.960
mean, I openly admit horror movies
scared me. Yeah, I love them

239
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.400
because I love being scared. Yeah, I know that because I go to

240
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.720
haunted houses with you, and it's
the fucking best when you get harassed.

241
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.279
I can't I react the way I
feel, which is scared because it's scary.

242
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.039
Start calling your name, which has
only happened like one time that I

243
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.720
can recall, when somebody got your
name in the in the scare line and

244
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.119
it just worked its way through all
the rooms we went through. Yeah.

245
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.920
Yeah, I don't know how they
figured out it was my name, and

246
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.400
I don't know how they figured out, uh how they heard it in a

247
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.839
jumble of names similar to it.
Crazy but yeah, yeah, crazy bro,

248
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.720
But uh no, I like to
be scared. I like scary movies

249
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.119
for that reason. And a lot
of times people will make the assumption of

250
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.079
me that I They'll they'll be like, you must be pretty used to it,

251
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:00.799
you must be pretty callous to it, And I'm like, no,

252
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.000
man, That's why I keep watching
them is I'm very easy to scare,

253
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.759
and I like to be scared by
movies. I mean, I love movies

254
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.680
obviously, but I love to be
scared and freaked out. But of all

255
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.319
of the tropes, cannibalism really is
the one that, like, every time

256
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.839
I see it, it creeps me
out. Like, even even the silliest

257
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.039
movie, if it does cannibalism a
certain way for me, freaks me out.

258
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.119
I'll give you an example. George
A. Romero's Dead Time Stories,

259
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.079
Volume one. Do you remember that
cannibal story where they're spelunking, Oh,

260
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.240
the splunking one. I was thinking
of a seriicular one with the Goldilocks.

261
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.400
No, no, I'm talking about
when they were spelunking in the cave.

262
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.359
I remember that one. And when
they find the woman, they bring her

263
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.279
out and then she remembers eating her
dead boyfriend in the cave. The way

264
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:48.079
they depicted the cannibalism was they like
showed her pulling meat out of like a

265
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.240
husk that like has no humanity to
it. And I, even as a

266
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.759
twenty something year old watching look,
I love George Romero. Yeah, as

267
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:03.039
much as I think anybody he could. I think he was a brilliant filmmaker,

268
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.680
a flawed human being, and I
think he made some of the best

269
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.200
movies ever made, absolutely, but
he made some crappy stuff too, And

270
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.880
there was a period where he sure
did not mind just picking up a check.

271
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:22.119
And nothing against the talented and tenacious
independent filmmakers behind George A. Romero's

272
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.559
Dead Time Stories either they had you
can tell they had very little to work

273
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.640
with and they were trying their best. But when George sits down to be

274
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.799
like the crypt keeper of it,
he doesn't even take his jacket all.

275
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.440
He's literally wearing an outdoors jacket and
and and it's just quick quips and then

276
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.039
on to the next one. It
is such you could like hear the check

277
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:47.480
being written in the background, and
you can just hear a ballpoint pen scribbling

278
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.279
and uh. But even that one
really messed with so Freddy's nightmares, you

279
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:57.720
know, for Freddy's nightmares fans.
Oh yeah, the other the other one,

280
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.920
yeah, I can't think of it. Oh shit, what was that

281
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.960
episode? There were two Cannibal episodes. Now, I can't think prime cut,

282
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.039
prime cut, prime cut. Now
that bothered me. Yeah, no,

283
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.079
that bothered me quite a bit.
It was depicted pretty grizzily but yeah

284
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:12.119
and with a laugh, yes,
which I appreciate but made me sick.

285
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.160
But that's I think the point.
That's the tone of this movie too,

286
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:21.319
you know what movie. So,
without further ado, after a little talk

287
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:26.400
about cannibalism, let's get into nineteen
ninety nine's Ravenous Give us the Breakdown Double

288
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.759
D one hour and forty one minutes, rated R for a considerable considerable amount

289
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.680
of gore. Where does it hang
on? It was, God damn it.

290
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.720
The rating killed me. It was, Oh, I hate that IMD

291
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:45.640
readed their site for potential buttocks display
Oh considerable gore and strong violence. Well,

292
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.200
I mean I think it's considerable gore. Yeah, and honestly, they

293
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:55.200
could have went way grosser. Overall, it's mostly blood splashes and there's like

294
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.880
one or two severed limbs. There
was you really can see. One thing

295
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.920
I read relating to its censorship was
there were minor cuts made to get it

296
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.279
to an R rating, So it
probably had like an NC seventeen or an

297
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.799
exit first submission, but they probably
you know, chopped like two or three

298
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.000
seconds out of it. I would
imagine. Yeah, I mean, I

299
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.160
just know that there really isn't that
much. There's really not I mean compared

300
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.759
to like your average Western or something. There's a few moments where you kind

301
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.759
of see somebody's guts, yeah,
entergy, and that's really it. Yeah.

302
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:23.920
Yeah. So Rabbitus one hour forty
one minutes, rated R, directed

303
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.559
by Antonio Bird. She did The
east Enders in nineteen eighty five, Casualty

304
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.759
in nineteen eighty six, South of
the Border nineteen eighty eight, The Men's

305
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:36.200
Room in ninety one, A masculine
ending in ninety two, Peak Practice Priest,

306
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.480
Mad Love Face, Ravetus in ninety
nine, then goes to do Rehab

307
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.519
in two thousand and three, Mission
Impossible or stud M I five series in

308
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.440
two thousand and five. That's quite
a jump. Yeah. Cracker one of

309
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.440
her films in two thousand and six, which got a series in six as

310
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.440
well, A Passionate Woman in twenty
ten, The Village No not the in

311
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.000
night shamal on one. Oh.
But she unfortunately had a career cut short

312
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.720
in twenty thirteen by thyroid cancer.
Died it age sixty two. Wow.

313
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.720
That's quite a career though, cause
I gotta say, full disclosure, I

314
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.880
don't think I saw any of those
except Mission Impossible five in Ravenous, But

315
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:15.039
talk about like consistently working and clearly
Ravenus didn't kill her career, which I'm

316
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.319
happy to hear, because while it
did, it was not successful. I

317
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.559
think it was a very solid movie, and I think that it did.

318
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:25.200
It was a very effective film,
and I think it was very artfully directed

319
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.079
and very smartly directed. So I'm
glad to hear that she got quite a

320
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:30.880
bit going on though, and I'll
get to it a little bit more in

321
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.400
the trivia. But Robert Carlisle,
who is our second lead in this film,

322
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.559
he was. He was very good
friends with her, and he actually

323
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.720
got her the gig on Ravenus because
the original director was fired after two weeks.

324
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.000
Oh really, do you know who
the original director was? I have

325
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.559
his name in the notes. It's
Mitch something. Milcho Mincheeski is his name,

326
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.240
Milcho menches Menchevsky, Chevski, Yeah, what the heck? Yeah,

327
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.480
he was fired after two to three
weeks. Didn't even look him up,

328
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.000
No, didn't even bother to figure
out what he was doing. He wasn't

329
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.759
mentioned anywhere except that she. I
mean, okay, this is our research

330
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.279
first stop. We got plenty to
talk about. So our writer is Ted

331
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:07.960
Griffin. He was the writer of
Ravenus of course, goes on to do

332
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.720
Best Plans in ninety nine, does
the screenplay for Oceans eleven two thousand and

333
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.880
one, match stick Men two thousand
and three, Rumor Has It in two

334
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.920
thousand and five, The Shield in
two thousand and six, Killers twenty ten.

335
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.279
He was the creator of the series
Terriers in two thousand serious. I

336
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:30.440
am dead serious. I love that
series. F series Terriers, and I

337
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.799
am still upset livid we didn't get
a second season. I know, because

338
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.079
it was so good, it ended
so well, with so much more to

339
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.680
give us. Yeah, I know. Terriers is very well missed and only

340
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.200
and it's never been released on physical. You can only get it through I

341
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.640
think Amazon is the only way to
get it. Yeah, I think so,

342
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.559
something like somewhere like that. Yeah, No, I'm ticked so.

343
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.440
Ted Griffin also did the screenplay for
Tower Heights in twenty eleven. He's edited

344
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.279
for script revisions on Runaway Jury in
two thousand three, Torq in two thousand

345
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.039
and four, Mister and Missus Smith
and O five Fun with Dick and Jane

346
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.279
and O five Night and Day in
twenty ten, and Wolf of Wall Street

347
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:12.359
in twenty thirteen, whoa Okay also
the director of Terriers, Mad Dogs and

348
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:18.720
Patriot. He directed episodes of Terriers, Mad Dogs and Patriot. Yes,

349
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:23.039
those are literally three of my favorite
shows I know, and they're not just

350
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.559
three of my favorite I actually feel
bad for him because I'm like, those

351
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.720
are three of my favorite shows that
all did relatively badly. Yeah, but

352
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.079
Patriot I consider one of the best
television shows ever made. Yeah, uh,

353
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.559
the Amazon original Patriot. Like most
people be like, what, it's

354
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.559
one of the best shows ever made. No, it's a big deal.

355
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.039
Matt mad Dogs Crazy also one that
you you had me watch. You texted

356
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:45.880
me and you're like, dude,
you need to watch the show. We

357
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.319
only got one season of it,
which was perfect. It did end on

358
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.759
on a pretty solid name. It
ended well, but it could have gotten

359
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.640
a second season. It was so
freaking good so mad Dogs and it opened

360
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:59.519
with Billy Zane, an incredibly fun
character. Mad Dogs on Amazon Prime highly

361
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.839
recommended that one. So. Our
cinematographer is Anthony B. Richmond. He

362
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.720
was a claploader on from Rush with
Love in nineteen sixty three, The Devilship

363

Pirates in sixty four, The Evil
of Frankenstein in nineteen sixty four as well,

364
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:14.400
he's the clapper loader on these phones. Well, I mean it goes

365
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.759
to show you everybody starts somewhat.
The Gorgone in sixty four, Doctor Zevago

366
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:19.359
sixty five, Funny Thing Happened on
the Way to the Forum in sixty six.

367
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:23.480
He becomes a cinematographer in sixty nine

368
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:27.119

in nineteen seventy. Okay, wow,

369
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.400
don't look now, The Donald Sutherland
thriller in nineteen seventy three. Damn okay,

370
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.960
I could see a trajectory. Yeah, already starting here. Then he

371
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.000
goes on to do Old Dracula in
seventy four, The Man Who Fell to

372
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.000
Earth of David Bowie film in seventy
six, The Eagle Was Landed in seventy

00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.599

movie Scissors ninety one, The Indian
Runner ninety one, Candyman in ninety two.

376
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.599
Then he goes to do The Sandlot
in ninety three. He did the

377
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:03.759
sand the same DP that did Candyman
and Ravenous. Yeah, did Sandlot Tales

378
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.359
from the Hood in nineteen ninety five. Really First Kid in nineteen ninety six,

379
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.000
the Sinbad movie. I don't talk
to me like you need to tell

380
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:17.640
me what First Kid is, your
little shit, I'm telling you what First

381
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.640
Kid was. I was always partial
to House Guest. The last time I

382
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.240
watched First Kid, House Guest is
great. Actually, I last time I

383
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.559
watched First Kid, girl I was
dating at the time, had horrible stomach

384
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.880
flu and I I just remember I
watched it while I waited for Chinese food

385
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.839
to come, while she was in
the other room sleeping in between vomiting.

386
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.960
First Kid's really fun. Gets better
Playing God in ninety seven, the David

387
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.720
Ducoveney film, which I watched a
while back, and I didn't hold up

388
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:42.960
as well, but still fun crime
thiller. So then he was Ravenous in

Oh nine, thank god, finally

Disney plus beatlespot. I love the Diary

398
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.240
of a Whimpi Kid movies too.
Wow, these are some great ones.

399
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.880
So Anthony D. Richmond, we
salute you because that's a hell of a

400
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.079
resume. Brother. I mean,
that's something we mentioned here on the show

401
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:29.240
is cinematographers. You just every film
and I've said it again and again,

402
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:33.480
but every film needs somebody to shoot
it. Cinematographers get around. Never assume

403
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.480
you know where a cinematographer came from
or where they're going. Yeah, because

404
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.240
there are so many stories where I
mean, he was a claploader on what

405
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.319
was one of the like from Russia
with Love No No, But I'm talking

406
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:47.759
about like the Devilship Pirates yea,
and the Evil of Frankenstock the Gorgan.

407
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.400
All of those are perfectly fine movies, and if you love them, that's

408
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:56.160
fine. Yeah, but they're all
like he was just the clapload. Yeah,

409
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.440
and then he went on to be
clearly assought after cinematographer. I would

410
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.880
say, so, who shot literally
multiple movies that were formative for me that

411
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:10.880
were nothing alike? No, either
way, none, it's Ravenous, Sandlot,

412
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:12.880
what was the other Handy Man,
Candy Man. It's like all of

413
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.640
those movies were formative to me as
a kid for completely different reasons. Yes,

414
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:19.599
no, so yeah, for real, that is an incredible story of

415
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.720
a cinematographer right there. So getting
into the story of Ravenous. This is

416
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.599
from the back of the screen factory, Blu Ray says, a recipe for

417
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.000
NonStop action and excitement when the inhabitants
of an isolated military outposts go up against

418
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.039
a marauding band of cannibals and a
deadly struggle for survival. Ever, watchful

419
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.319
of the enemies who might literally tear
them apart, the uneasy alliance of soldiers

420
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.119
must fight brutal elements of this Sierra
in Ota wilderness and as well as their

421
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:47.680
own murderous instincts to stay alive.
Okay, it's not correct at all.

422
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:55.279
There are problems. Yeah, so
first of all, that description sounds like

423
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.720
the description you would give because you
know that the person you want to watch

424
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.759
it not under like you couldn't get
across what actually happens in the movie,

425
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.240
Like like you're just trying to get
them to watch it. He's like,

426
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:07.680
no, no, you'll like it
if you watch it. But like,

427
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.599
because it's not that, it's not
that. I mean, I could see

428
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:17.839
interpreting it as that, but it's
not an army fighting. It's it's in

429
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.880
fighting, and it's it's and of
course the cannibalist cannibal element is such a

430
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.279
massive part of the movie and the
whole concept of the Windigo and all the

431
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.160
stuff, which we'll get into in
a little bit. Ye. But yeah,

432
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.960
so that's a bizarre breakdown. It
just sounds like they're trying to hard

433
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.920
sell somebody who does not want to
watch at all. So you is your

434
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:48.440
synopsis just he was licking, because
that's what we all from my generation,

435
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.799
that's what we remember. The scene
where the guy yells he was lacking may

436
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:57.359
so but anyway, sorry, so
I want toopsis the inhabitants of military outposts

437
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.720
for Spencer have more than winter weather
to be concerned about. When a sadistic

438
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.559
cannibal infiltrates one night with plans to
never go hungry again. Okay, points

439
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:12.160
for clever, points for clever,
But hold on, but what was that

440
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:19.400
first sentence the inhabitants of a military
outpost for Spencer have. That's you being

441
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:25.359
cheeky. That's you being a little
bit of a ship like. No,

442
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:27.640
they have more than they have,
more than winter weather to worry about.

443
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:32.960
They're being infected by a blight that
makes them meet each other. But but

444
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.160
I have to, I have to
give it to you on the when a

445
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.640
sadistic cannibal infiltrates one night with plans
to never go hungry again. Yeah,

446
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:47.119
that was that was Oh no,
that was good. That was good,

447
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.759
little cheeky though I might not allow
that next time, but that no,

448
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:56.000
that was good. Dave, good
job. Do You Even? Movie?

Pierce is one of those names that,

452
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.039
like I know of him because of
movies that I love him in. But

453
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.599
for the most part, you really
don't see him doing much except for like

454
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.960
the last ten years. I would
say he's kind of popped up, like

455
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.039
in black Light, that Lamson movie. No, he's, yeah, he's

469
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.799

Days and Night. I can't think of

two. So one black Live is
Memory. Oh okay, those dude confused

478
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:47.880
because they came out the same time, because David is a lazy researcher.

479
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:53.640
I just remember Memory was better than
black Light. Wow, Hard you were

480
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.519
with me and we both agreed on
that. Wait what was what was memory?

481
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.480
Memory was where he's the assassin that
loses his memory. Oh yeah,

482
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.480
and black Light's where one of his
buddies gets taken out. So he decides

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.279

I remember correctly. Yeah, I like

00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.319
black light actually kind of more.

497
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:52.720
I need to show you the Tournament
because it's literally about a small town that

498
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.359
becomes a location for this game of
assassins that like big heads are bidding on

499
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.960
there's money, and Carlisle plays a
pre to sworn off violence. That sounds

like you've seen him in things, but

504
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.000
you don't know what it is,
precisely because his resume is a bit all

505
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:20.639
over the place. I mean,
hey, there are worse things to be

506
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:23.800

Jones has allegations, you can find out.

515
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:59.400
Yeah, moving on. It's not
like this is gonna be the first

516
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.880
time something he has allegation. Yeah. Look at Dave, he's the clem.

517
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.920
He's like completely vetched. Now.
I don't know why I'm all Yiddish

518
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.800
either, but look at David.
Fix your hat. Oh we worry about

519
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.199
you, bully Bill. Why don't
you take a drink and I'll tell a

520
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.079
joke to the audience. Let me
tell you why the first time David told

521
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:21.280
me he was hiding Jeffrey Jones in
his home from the authority. Funny.

522
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.840
No, it's all right, Dave. I'm sorry, Dave. Was the

523
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:30.760
amount of Jeffrey Jones jokes I made
during the actual film that we were watching

524
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:32.880
is not wrong. I knew that
Dave was just what he was. And

525
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:36.679
the reason Dave was flinching is he
was just afraid I was gonna throw like

526
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:40.920
a really mean one at him.
I'm trying not to do that to you

527

memorable Ontariers Little Birds in twenty eleven. Captain America twenty eleven justified one of

551
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:19.199
end. I mean he's a working
actor. Well, he's got a forehead

552
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.400
that just scares you. He's also
got a families, got feet. I

553

mean that helps too. He's also
a but I don't know if they're his

554

movies. One of his most famous
ones was a western he did recently restarted

557
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.400
in called Boone Boom g O n
Okay. So what was your first time

558
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.360
seeing ravenous? Oh gosh, it
would have been I guarantee I rented it

559
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:47.320
on VHS, because if it came
out in ninety nine, that means it

560
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:53.199
was on tape in two thousand and
In my household, I was the first

561
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:58.400
DVD player owner. Yeah I remember
your story. Oh yeah, I tell

562
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.159
it on the show. I can't
rab it. I don't think. Uh

563
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.760
yeah. I I come from humble
beginnings. My mother did a very good

564
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.960
job making sure we had what we
needed. And I was a huge movie

565
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:15.800
fan, so getting a DVD player
was not a priority. But because I

566
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.119
was such a big movie fan,
yeah, my mom was open to it,

567
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.800
you know, to getting me one. Eventually someday. Well, I

568
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:28.519
figured out a really good compromise.
I was like, what if we get

569
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.039
a DVD drive for my PC?
Because I had a PC in my room

570
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:35.000
that I did a bunch of you
know stuff on that. Like I'm like

571
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.519
thirteen or fourteen, I think maybe
a little younger, maybe a little older.

572
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.280
And I was like, what if
I get the herd of the drive,

573
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:45.199
because then for fifteen this is how
things work. Then if I have

574
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:51.599
the drive for fifteen dollars dollars,
I can get a DVD player Because you

575
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.320
had to. You couldn't just have
the driver the drive, you had to

576
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:58.519
have a player. Yeah. So
I got the player for Christmas, and

577
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:02.960
I got the drive for my birthday. And the first time I watched any

578
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:09.159
DVDs it was on my computer yep, not on my TV. I wouldn't

579
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:15.559
have a DVD player in my in
my bedroom or one in the living room

580
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:22.079
until about a year later when Christmas
finally hit with those Apex DVD players that

581
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.559
were like thirty six dollars. Yeah. So when we rented a movie for

582
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.440
family night especially, or you know, we just rented like a brand new

583
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:32.760
Blockbuster movie or whatever so that we
could all watch it together, all mom

584
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:37.639
and me and maybe my sister,
we'd always go tape. Yeah, because

585
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:38.800
we had a VCR in the living
room, makes sense. And I had

586
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:42.599
a VCR in my bedroom too,
so I didn't mind renting tapes. So

587
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:45.800
but yeah, I remember one of
the first big things I ever watched on

588
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:51.679
that computer was I watched all three
Sleepaway Camps because I was not I had

589
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.000
never seen them. Yeah, and
then Fangloria gave like crazy reviews to the

590
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.760
box set and it was only thirty
five bucks. Man, I remember that

591
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:02.400
box up. You don't remember it
coming out though, No, I don't,

592
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:06.480
but I remember that was a Hunted
four box because that just had the

593
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:09.599
Cross on it, the cross which
got banned, the Red Cross. Actually

594
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:15.440
yeah, but I just remember I
sat down and that was the best Saturday

595
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:16.639
ever because I watched the first sleep
Boy Camp and when it was over,

596
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:22.559
I was just like whoa. And
then I watched the other two and fell

597
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:24.280
in love with all three. Yeah. No, that would be the turning

598
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:28.280
point. So I never had a
life where I didn't I either didn't know

599
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:30.000
sleep Boy Camp or I had one, two, and three back to back.

600
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.840
What about four? Didn't? Didn't
fore get included in that one?

601
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:39.079
You mean the survivor? The survivor. We're not talking about return to sleep

602
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:40.840
Boy Camp. You know why we're
not talking about that? No, No,

603
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:43.960
I don't want to talk I returned
to sleep Boy Camp at all.

604
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.239
Good. I'm talking about the Survivor. Oh oh, you are talking about

605
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:51.679
It was just raw footage from a
sequel that never got filmed, which was

606
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:53.400
exclusive to Best Buy. Yes,
it was a sequel that never got completed.

607
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:59.119
They raised enough money to shoot like
three or four rolls of film in

608
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:01.679
one weekend, an actress and an
actor and that was it. It's so

609
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:06.400
yeah, and people were so confused. I remember being confused, even because

610
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.000
I was a young man, even
though I dreams of being a filmmaker,

611
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.079
I had not seen unedited footage from
film. So I was like, Okay,

612
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:17.320
I'm watching her walk silent through the
woods, and now a color flash

613
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:20.760
just happened. Now she's sitting on
a chair. Yep. Yeah, it

614
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:27.760
was bad. Well, the real
problem is some filmmakers, I was gonna

615
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.519
say audacious. I think that's a
good word. Some audacious filmmakers decided to

616
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:32.320
try to make a full movie out
of it. Yeah, but the problem

617
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:36.400
is when you edit together that that
forty five minutes of footage, it's really

618
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.599
like six minutes of movie. Yeah. So, uh, because didn't they

619
00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:44.440
there is? It's that has other
clips and that's all. That's what it

620
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.400
is. It's a it's a whole
thing where they claim like that they have

621
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:51.360
the right to do it. Yeah
they don't really, but I don't know.

622
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:55.800
I'm not here to lawyer. I'm
here to eat. So go on,

623
00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:59.639
Davy. So you were saying that
you rented this Yeah, yeah,

624
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.760
sorry, I forgot the question you
asked me. Yes, I rented it

625
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:09.000
on tape and watched it, and
my mom was super grossed out. She

626
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:13.519
kind of checked out of it.
I could see that she might have even

627
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:15.719
went off and did something else.
I can't remember for sure, but I

628
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.920
am my older sister, who was
much older than me. We both were

629
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.280
enamored with My sister really liked it, and I thought it was pretty cool.

630
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.800
But I was really super grossed out, and I found the ending showdowns

631
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.639
yeah, super scared, satisfying and
scared. So I don't know about satisfying.

632
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:31.719
I mean, I wasn't quite old
enough for that, and like you,

633
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.519
Davy, but what about you?
When did you foresee it? So?

634
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:37.760
I I think I mentioned on the
show before that I was a frequent

635
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:42.880
flea market shopper with my father on
Sundays, and in doing so, that's

636
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.079
how I kind of started getting my
VHS collection. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

637
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.519
we get it. You have a
fub Yeah, let's you shut up.

638
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.480
But so one of my tapes had
a trailer for Rabness on it,

639
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:55.440
which was that trailer I showed you, which has so cheap your Boogeyman by

640
00:42:55.559 --> 00:43:00.320
Rob ZOMBI. Yeah, what a
weird I get it, though, White

641
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:01.760
Zombie Actually I can appreciate. I
think it was White Zombie. Yeah,

642
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:05.760
I can't appreciate what they were going
for with the trailer because they were trying

643
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:07.840
to hit a different audience since it
didn't find its audience the first time.

644
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:09.840
Yeah, they were like, what
if we make this look just fun and

645
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:15.199
badass and weird. But boy,
is that a weird trailer. Keep in

646
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:20.119
mind that Disney's Planes, that movie, the original trailer. The score on

647
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:22.840
that trailer was more human than a
human. Oh yeah, I believe that.

648
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:27.519
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they
were on Disney's record label. It

649
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.400
wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, I'm
almost certain why Zombie was on Disney's record

650
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.039
That would make sense anyway. So
I saw trailer for Rabinous, and I

651
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:37.199
went to the flea markets so often. I was like, well, I'll

652
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:39.400
absolutely come into it soon, And
sure enough, got a copy of it,

653
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:44.559
watched it, and just immediately fell
in love with its zaniness and its

654
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.800
disgusting concept and all that stuff,
and just this was a movie that like

655
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:51.880
a fourteen year old would latch onto
and I did. I mean, I

656
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.159
get, I mean, I feel
like, maybe not the average fourteen year

657
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:58.760
old. It has some pretty heavy, heavy concepts. It does in the

658
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.760
trailer made it look more action that
it is. Okay, you can I

659
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:05.320
think you can admit this was it
because the guys in the movie were cool.

660
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.639
Oh yeah, Okay, I'm not
trying to pick on you with teenage

661
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:13.239
boys. Yeah, is like every
dude in that movie was like super cool

662
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.440
and like rugged and tough, and
to be perfectly honest, I think this

663
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.679
was probably the point in my life
that I had my VHS LA Confidential,

664
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.840
which I would watch, not even
understating, probably once a month, So

665
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.199
I was. I was into Guy
Pierce at that point too. So the

666
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:28.199
fact that he was in a horror
film, I was like, fuck yeah,

667
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.360
and how old were you again?
Fourteen? Fourteen? Yeah, so

668
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:36.679
probably a little old for Jeffrey Jones
to be happy you were watching there is

669
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:42.000
that. I'm so proud of myself. Okay, but no, I mean

670
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:45.360
this has become a winter favorite of
mine because it is snowy out the ass

671
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:50.800
and you have whoa, you just
have this again. The sense of isolation

672
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:55.440
that's in this movie is what's most
terrifying to me. I I I see

673
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:59.519
what I did there. Sorry,
but yeah, no, I revisit this

674
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.280
every win. So it was an
absolute pleasure to bring this to the show

675
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:08.000
because I just I love this fucking
movie. Do You Even? Movie will

676
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:22.920
be right back, Welcome back to
Do You Even? Movie? Yeah,

677
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:27.159
No, it's a really fun one
and one that I've really enjoyed revisiting.

678
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.719
Yeah, I'm so glad it got
a nice blu ray release. Then that

679
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:32.599
kind of put it back onto people's
sites. I think too, because I

680
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:36.960
remember how excited I was when they
announced this. So are you ready to

681
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:42.800
get into it? Into what the
movie? Let's all go to the that's

682
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.000
I mean, that's about not going
to the movie. But uh, all

683
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:47.480
right, fine, all right,
the hell I'm in. So we opened

684
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:52.920
with a shot of an American flag
as we see Boyd who is being accommodated

685
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:55.119
for getting a hold of enemy lines. He secured a station, and he's

686
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.159
flashing back to the events and we
see that all his men around him are

687
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:05.559
dying in battle. Flashbacks are bloody, even by war flashback standards, absolutely

688
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:13.440
like it's freaking wet with blood like
and that's kind of the the imagery they're

689
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:17.280
selling right now is not just dead
bodies, not just bloody bodies. Everything

690
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:22.679
is soaking in blood like. It
makes you, It makes it to the

691
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:27.920
point where you can almost smell his
flashbacks because I can't over I really want

692
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:32.079
to sell it properly. Wet with
blood, yeah, no, it's like

693
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:38.039
soaking drenched, sticky with blood.
And I love the sequence because after the

694
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:40.760
accommodation, what do they do to
the men to show them they care.

695
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.559
They serve them all steaks, and
I love that the plates are just a

696
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:52.159
steak too big for the plate,
no vegetables, and a pile of bread

697
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:54.440
in the middle of the table people
could pass around. So it's all about

698
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.719
that steak, which, honestly,
I mean, if you think about the

699
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:00.519
era and what those guys been through, they probably hadn't had a stake,

700
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:04.400
and well that's why they're all chomping
down on it. Well, and also

701
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:08.639
to make us even sicker because now
we're looking at these nasty, bloody steaks,

702
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:14.280
very rare. I mean a lot
of this was rare. Yeah,

703
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:22.440
And as they're chomping down, our
main character is just more. All it

704
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.880
does is remind him of those moist
memories, which, by the way,

705
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:30.480
will be the name of your autobiography. So he's visually repulsed. We see

706
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:32.840
him go throw up, and as
Enrique said, that's when we get the

707
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:38.360
credit and then revenue. So we
hear his captain, General Slawson, who

708
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:42.360
is telling him that he's going to
be sent to Fort Spencer in California because

709
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:44.920
he hates him. Because he hates
him because we'll find out a little bit

710
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.480
that he's not the hero that we're
supposed to believe. I mean, he's

711
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:52.280
a hero, but he kind of
tripped into it after being a cow howard.

712
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:53.840
Yeah, So he travels to the
four and that's our credits, and

713
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:59.079
we're seeing beautiful range of the Sierra
Nevadas and just there's snow falling and we

714
00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:01.159
see him trekking. He gets to
the fore and meets Martha there who shows

715
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:06.199
him his quarters, and we flashback
once again to Boyd and he is watching

716
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:08.559
his men be slaughtered. He's seeing
everybody just sink to the ground covered in

717
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:12.719
blood. So then he just cowards
down and goes into the mud as well.

718
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.480
We find out that they buried the
bodies of his comrades on top of

719
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:19.039
him. He hid in the bodies, snuck out and that's how he took

720
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:22.679
the enemy outposts. He basically faked
he was dead, yeah, and laid

721
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.599
for hours and hours in a pile
of his dead comrades, yea until he

722
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:30.280
could sneak out. And why he
said to Fort Spencer is because they're like,

723
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:32.639
you know, we could shoot you, but since you took the enemy

724
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:36.840
outpost, like it puts a bad
taste of the people technically a war hero.

725
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.360
Yeah, it's just by way of
cowardice. Yeah. So then we

726
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:44.480
meet Colonel Hart who's played by Jeffrey
Jones, and he goes over the company

727
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.440
and what Fort Spencer is. It's
a way station on the way to Nevada's

728
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:51.000
and they don't get much traffic in
the winter when the storms and everything sweep

729
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:54.880
in. There's Toffler, there's George
Cleaves Knox who is the general, and

730
00:48:55.000 --> 00:49:00.119
doctor Martha, and that is our
posse of Fort Spencer. You makes eight,

731
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:04.679
that's the way he says it,
which I feel was a reference to

732
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:10.440
Agatha Christie and ten Little Indians,
because and he makes eight that now,

733
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:13.880
don't I mean? I mean I
have not read ten Little Indians? Or

734
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:16.599
isn't that also called twist of the
screw? Not twisted the screw? No,

735
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:20.400
not that one. There's ten little
Indians, and then there was and

736
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.559
then there were none. Was the
retitling of it. Yeah, yeah,

737
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:28.480
because ten Little Indians isn't the most
respectful title. Well, but you know,

738
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:32.559
uh so, but I felt like
that was a reference that I could

739
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:35.960
be over looking into things, but
it really did feel like it, and

740
00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:42.199
I love for for context. As
Jeffrey Jones is talking about them, he's

741
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:47.239
eating walnuts, so he's just he's
got a mouthful of food as he's talking.

742
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:51.760
The whole time, he's eating and
eating and eating. And then how

743
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:54.360
do we transition out of the scene
by him saying, like, so and

744
00:49:54.480 --> 00:50:00.760
so is the cook I would recommend
not eating but most but most Yeah,

745
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:04.079
but most men have to and going
over our posse. So. Toffler is

746
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:07.159
played by Jeremy Davies. He played
Charles Manson in the two thousand and three

747
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:13.119
Helder Skelter. He's also Dicky on
Justified. Yeah. We also have George,

748
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:16.559
who is played by Joseph Running Fox
Cleaves David Arquette, Yes, and

749
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:21.599
our Quette honestly very well used yes
in this because he's kind of just the

750
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.880
goofball guy. Yeah, but when
he has to be dramatic, he does

751
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:28.039
a really great job. Yeah.
And then Major Knox is played by Steven

752
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.079
Spanella and Martha is played by Sheila
Tawsei. Great cast of actors in this

753
00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:35.119
The supporting cast of this film makes
it all the more fun than it is

754
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.159
too. Oh, everybody in it
is on their game. Yeah. So

755
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:43.000
Boyd flashes back and we see everything
happen as it unfolds with him being buried

756
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.760
under his dead He climbs out takes
the station, and that's when you find

757
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:47.880
out that his promotion was completely an
insult to him, because they're like,

758
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:50.800
we're gonna shoot you, or we
can send you here, So they get

759
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:52.559
him completely out of the hair.
Later that night, Heart asked Boyd if

760
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.639
he wants to join him because Knox
has just knotted off drunk and passed out,

761
00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.360
and he's like, he's got some
excellent bourbon. Yeah, and he's

762
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:01.320
like, you know, you think
on mine. He's like, I don't

763
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:05.360
know. So then that night,
as they're drinking, a stranger appears outside

764
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:07.639
the window, a lonely traveler who's
near death from frostbite. So they take

765
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:10.599
him in and bathe him, and
that's when we meet Calhoun, and so

766
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:14.960
they have a signed offer to watch
over him. The next morning, Calhoun

767
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:16.840
wakes up and he asked where he
is, and he nearly breaks down when

768
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:21.239
he finds out that he's north into
Nevados, and he is freaking out and

769
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.760
he's like, you know what,
you know what? Where heart asked him

770
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:25.480
how long have you been out there? He's like three months and he's like

771
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.880
without food, and he goes yeah. But then he goes ask him again

772
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:30.960
and he's like, well, he
said, I did I said there wasn't

773
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:34.400
food. I didn't say we had
anything to eat. I didn't say we

774
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:37.280
had nothing to eat. I said
we had no food, which I think

775
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:42.280
is a really great way to kind
of bring this about. Yeah, that

776
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:45.159
moment I said there was I said
there was no food, not that there

777
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:47.639
was nothing to eat. Yeah.
So then we get the story that Calhoun

778
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:52.400
was part of a wagon train of
six and their guy, Colonel Ives,

779
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:54.960
had an idea for a route that
was off the trail that would get them

780
00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:59.000
quicker through the Sierras. So the
guy claimed to know a shorter route,

781
00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:02.199
but unfortunately winter hits before they reach
the Nevadas and they have to go into

782
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.719
a cave because that's the only way
of shelter they have at this point.

783
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.880
Yeah, which I mean a cave
is a good, good enough shelter,

784
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:10.639
Yeah, if you're not starving to
death. So they go into the cave

785
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:14.800
and they shortly run out of food. They eat the oxes, they eat

786
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:16.559
the horses, they eat the chickens, and then they start eating their belts

787
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:22.360
and their shoes. But the hunger
still persists. It and yet we persist,

788
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:25.519
and yet we persist. So they
remain famished and unfortunately have to turn

789
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:30.079
to cannibalism, which they do so
by one of their own dying of malnourishment.

790
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:32.320
Calhoun says that he wasn't for the
idea, but walking back into the

791
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:35.880
cave and finding out that they were
cooking his legs and the smell of it,

792
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:37.800
he was He smiled at the smell
of meat, is what he says.

793
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:44.239
Yeah, And when we find out
Calhoun what his real deal is,

794
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:50.480
it's fascinating that he's telling the story
because a spoiler alert, where's the spoiler

795
00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:53.679
alert? His story is a bunch
of bullshit. Yeah, why why even

796
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:59.400
confess to cannibalism? Yeah, Uh, if you're gonna just if you're gonna

797
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:01.119
just tell it everybody, or you're
just gonna Yeah, Like, I don't

798
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:04.639
know, I thought that he's fucking
with him. The way he spends it

799
00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:07.079
though, is what gets him out
there, and that's that's the genius move

800
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:08.039
on his part. Yeah, that
is. That's a fair point. So

801
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:13.679
things get out of hand and they
decide that they're going to keep going with

802
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:15.719
the killing, and that's when Calhoun
starts to notice. The party starts going.

803
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:20.400
One goes, another goes and then
hits just him, ives and McCready's

804
00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:23.320
wife, and mccreedy was one of
the people left over. So Calhoun decides

805
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.760
to flee for his life because he
knows that he's going to die if he

806
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.000
stays there, and that's when he
has wound up. Now it's Fort Spencer,

807
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:34.400
yes, and they've managed to warm
him up. He seems oddly well,

808
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:37.840
yeah, he's he's only a little
skinny, yeah, which they mentioned

809
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.159
kind of immediately, and then he
immediately says like you should have seen me

810
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:45.320
before I was thirty pounds heavier and
all this stuff, and uh yeah.

811
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.760
So now, of course Jeffrey Jones
character Colonel Hart, he hears of this

812
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:52.400
and he's like, well, we've
got to you gotta go find are you

813
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:54.239
crazy? Yeah, And he's like
it's our job, Yeah, it's our

814
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:58.159
job. We gotta go out there, and that's when George pulls his attention

815
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:00.199
aside and tells him the myth of
the wind to go, which, Enrique,

816
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.840
would you like to take this?
The Windy Go? Oh man,

817
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.679
Well, I've covered this a lot
on my show Weekly Spooky and the Windigo

818
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:14.639
is an old Native American legend,
mostly algonquin and alba juwey. Sorry if

819
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:17.719
I'm saying that a little harsh or
wrong, but mostly around where we're from,

820
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:28.000
the Ohio's, Indiana places like that, And it's basically the story of

821
00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:32.599
hunger and desperation in the winter leading
people to cannibalism, and then once they

822
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:37.800
consume a human being, they consume
human flesh, they get inherited by a

823
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:43.880
spirit, a spirit known as the
Wendy Go, and the Wendy Go in

824
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:50.159
this movie it's simplified, but the
Wendygo references a need for more gluttony.

825
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:57.719
It represents a selfishness that takes over
your soul and makes you hungry for more,

826
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:00.599
and basically, long in the show, once you've eaten human flesh,

827
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:05.320
you can never stop anything. Flesh. Nothing will sate your hunger, not

828
00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:07.639
even really the human flesh with and
that's the other thing. A lot of

829
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:10.280
the Wendigo stories say that the more
you eat, the thinner you get,

830
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:15.960
and you just keep going and going
until eventually you'd go mad and die hunger.

831
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:21.199
And that's the thing is you you
basically either kill your fellow man or

832
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.719
you starve to death, and there's
no other choice. And a lot of

833
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:34.039
people think that the Wendigo myth was
about properly what's the word, properly demonizing

834
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.360
cannibalism in the native world at that
time, because a lot of people had

835
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:43.719
risked or potentially committed cannibalism because the
winters were so harsh, I mean,

836
00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:46.599
so brutal. I mean, this
is beyond you know, they were natives

837
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:51.519
and they didn't no, no,
they knew how to live and they knew

838
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:55.159
when they were going to die in
those weather situations. So that was kind

839
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:58.519
of the concept, was that it
was like there was this idea to make

840
00:55:58.559 --> 00:56:00.199
it an ultimate taboo, to where
it was like, no, no,

841
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:02.280
no, if you eat human flesh, you'll be cursed, not just you

842
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.480
know, sad about it. Yeah. So, and obviously human flesh eating,

843
00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:08.599
as we've been talking about, has
been a taboo for a very long

844
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:14.639
time, and nearly every culture there's
references to cannibalism and things like that.

845
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:16.920
But it is interesting that they bring
up the Windy Go because when the movie

846
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:21.079
started and I realized that they were
out near California, I was like,

847
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:22.480
well, there aren't a lot of
believers in the Windy Go out there.

848
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:27.159
They mentioned that it's from up north, but really it'd be far east,

849
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:31.000
of course, like the Midwest basically
of America, like Minnesota, Wisconsin,

850
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:37.320
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, places like that. I always joke

851
00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:38.719
when I go on my trips up
to northern Michigan and I'm like, way

852
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:42.199
up in the middle of nowhere,
in the dead snow. I always joke

853
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:44.920
that, like I'm just like,
ah, like I just stopped driving once

854
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:46.280
I hear the Wendy Go scream.
That's what I know. I'm in the

855
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:50.280
right place. I'm always going where
the Wendy Go lives to hang out.

856
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:52.239
And I always say, if I
ever saw that Wendy Go, I'd kiss

857
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:57.039
him on the mouth. So anyway, but no, So that's basically a

858
00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.400
Wendy Go legend. Now there are
a lot of variations and stuff like that,

859
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:02.960
but basically, if you eat a
person. It'll make you feel amazing

860
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:07.559
and powerful, but it'll make you
greedy and gluttonous for more. Yeah,

861
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:09.800
of every and often it's of everything, not just not just not just human

862
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:15.239
flesh, but power and strength and
women and money and everything. Yeah.

863
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:17.400
So this version, he says eating
the flesh of another man gives the man

864
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.599
his strength that he consumes and he
wants more. So Heart asks George.

865
00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:23.239
He's like, well, that doesn't
happen anymore, does it? And he

866
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:27.320
goes, well, people break the
bread of Christ every Sunday and he's like,

867
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:30.440
I do love that. He's like, actually, I mean Jesus has

868
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.079
a cannibal element to it. So
Colonel hart, Toffler, Boyd, Reich,

869
00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:37.159
George, and Calhoun set out for
the cave, and we see them

870
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.159
trekking through the Nevadas. They stop
for a night for camp. They're continuing

871
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:43.199
the next morning, trekking through the
hills, and at one point Heart they're

872
00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:44.960
on top of a peak and he's
like, all right, bourbon break.

873
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.360
So they stop and sip some bourbon, and Boyd takes the opportunity to ask

874
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:51.880
Calhoun about the effects of consuming flesh. You know, did he feel anything

875
00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:52.559
different? You know? It's like, oh, yeah, I heard that

876
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:54.719
legend. He's like, I guess
you could say that I felt like a

877
00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:58.360
little revitalized, you know, after
the first taste. You could say that.

878
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:01.360
But you wouldn't be freaked out by
hearing that, because when you're starving,

879
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:06.960
any food in your stomach would make
you feel amazing, It really would.

880
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:09.519
I mean, I mean, gosh, I mean any any time have

881
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:14.000
you ever eaten like a you know, just a fine meal but you were

882
00:58:14.119 --> 00:58:16.199
starving. Oh yeah, you know. I mean, if you're starving,

883
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:20.400
a brick of ramen noodles is good, You're gonna be like, You're gonna

884
00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:22.559
be like, oh man, yeah, so good. That was one thing

885
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:27.159
I learned doing a lot of intermittent
fasting. I would do like a seventy

886
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:31.320
two hour fast. Whatever you eat, it could be plain kale, and

887
00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:37.559
you would be like, it's so
good for us. Plain corn would taste

888
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:40.519
sweet as candy, so like it
does. It amplifies your your taste buds

889
00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:44.559
and stuff. Of course, I
did not eat human flesh after by no,

890
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:47.920
not yet. So he takes the
up Jude to ask Calhoun. Calhoun

891
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:51.800
says, revitalized him up on the
top of the hill, Toffler finds a

892
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:53.840
bone, but he's not paying attention, and he suddenly falls down the backside

893
00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:58.280
rolling on some rocks and gets stabbed
in the side by some jagged rocks.

894
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:00.800
So Toffler is off a little bit. We see him being bandaged by Reich

895
00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:04.559
later in a tent, and he's
also requesting bourbon though, which I love

896
00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:07.800
because at first he shouts bourbon,
nobody moves bourbon. Yeah, I love

897
00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:22.039
that. Burba do You Even?
Movie? Will be right back, welcome

898
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:30.320
back to do You Even? Movie? So he's being bandaged by Reich and

899
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.280
Reich takes notice that Boyd is uneasy
when he sees blood. Later that night,

900
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.079
Taffler wakes up screaming as the tent
is illuminated to reveal that Calhoun was

901
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:40.840
licking his wounds and his mouth actually
has bloodcaked around. Yeah, he doesn't

902
00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:45.400
even hide it because once, once, he once he's called out for it,

903
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:46.920
he's just like, please, like
tie me up or something, because

904
00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:52.400
I couldn't resist. Yeah, and
that's where we get that legendary he was

905
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:55.960
lose like it, which is just
one of the top moments of the whole

906
00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:00.239
film. Yeah, So Calhoun is
bound and he's in Reich's hands as they're

907
01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:02.800
leading him on a little rope across
the rest of the trip. And they

908
01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:06.679
get to the cave and that's when
you see Calhoun start to freak out.

909
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:08.800
He's approaching it and he's just getting
nervous and begging them to go back.

910
01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:12.599
Yeah, and the way the one
guy describes it is he says he's spooked,

911
01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.599
which is how you describe animals usually. Yeah, he's just shaking and

912
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:20.719
panicked and afraid. So the group
stations outside the cave as Heart calls to

913
01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:23.079
missus McCready and Colonel ives no answer, so he sends Boyd and Reich in

914
01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:28.519
to investigate. Inside the cave,
a discovery has made that it's five bodies

915
01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:31.079
instead of four, meaning the Calhoun
is the killer killed ives and all of

916
01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:35.519
them. And outside Calhoun we see
is digging up a knife. Toffler,

917
01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.639
noticing this, is calling to him, and that's when Heart comes over.

918
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:40.679
He's like he spooked. He goes
to the cave as Reich and Boyd are

919
01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:45.280
calling to him to like kill Calhoun. He's a trader, h m.

920
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:49.440
And just as he starts to hear
it, Calhoun sneaks up stabs Heart right

921
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.320
in the gut and takes the knife
and brings it right up, slicing him.

922
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:57.639
Yeah, it's brutal and the beginning
of many moments of brutality. Yeah.

923
01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.280
So George has seen this happen.
He's up on a ram and he

924
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:02.920
goes to hit Calhoun with an axe, but Calhoun spins Heart's body around as

925
01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:06.599
he takes the axe. He takes
Heart's pistol off him shoots George dead.

926
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:09.199
So now it's just Toffler and Calhoun, and of course Toffler's freaking out,

927
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:15.159
and hilariously, Calhoun goes up to
him. He's walking up with the knife

928
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:19.280
and Tauffler's just frozen. He's like, run, yeah, run, And

929
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:22.199
so Toffler goes off, screaming up
the other side of the stream. That's

930
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:25.119
when we have Boyd and Raich reach
the cave and they are trying to find

931
01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:29.199
Toffler, who's screaming, and they
go over to the side they're calling for

932
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:32.639
him. Calhoun's laughing hysterically. Suddenly
they find Toaffler and he has been completely

933
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.400
good. And it's important to point
out Calhoun's mentality has changed entirely. Now

934
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:43.840
he is playful and insane. Yeah, before he was fearful and he had

935
01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.159
like a secret maybe, but he
was not a nut job. Well,

936
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:50.800
now he is just going fully hanniballector. And before he does the thing with

937
01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:52.960
run I forgot. He goes to
shoot Toffler because he has the pistol still,

938
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:54.800
and he goes and he clicks,
doesn't go off, and he goes.

939
01:01:54.960 --> 01:02:00.320
That's so annoying. No, he
he has a lot of choice moments

940
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:05.960
as a just total matter. Yeah. So Raike is trailing behind him to

941
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:07.079
get to the side of the cliff. Reich fires a shot, but he

942
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:09.880
misses him and he suddenly vanishes.
So Wright goes over to the cliff.

943
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:14.280
Boyd follows him, and suddenly Calhoun
drops down from some trees, throwing a

944
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:15.960
knife at Reich, which takes him
over the side of the cliff. And

945
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:21.440
now it's just Boyd and Calhoun face
to face. Yeah, and it is

946
01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:27.360
a terrifying moment. Terrifying. There's
something about a human being being like him

947
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:31.440
knowing that he is hungry for your
flesh. Yeah, that is truly mortified.

948
01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:35.079
So Boyd fires his rifle, dropping
Calhoun to the ground, but he

949
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:37.679
shortly sits up and he's laughing,
and he's now cornered boys to the edge

950
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:42.000
of the cliff. So Boyd has
no choice and he just doubles back and

951
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:44.880
jumps over the side of the cliff, falling down. Yeah, he pulls

952
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.599
a John Rambo. He just jumps
onto the tree and hopes that the branches

953
01:02:47.639 --> 01:02:51.920
will slow his fall enough that maybe
he'll live live. Yeah, but it

954
01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:55.679
gets pretty ugly as he falls down
the tree and realizes his comrade is also

955
01:02:55.840 --> 01:03:00.800
in that tree, and he ends
up taking him with him, and then

956
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:05.599
they end up falling into some kind
of a hole in the ground. And

957
01:03:06.239 --> 01:03:08.440
it's it's talk about mortifying. I
know, he keeps saying mortifying. This

958
01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:13.880
movie is mortifying, mortifying as his
buddy was, you know, the other

959
01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:16.400
one who they were not big friends
big friends, is hanging upside down and

960
01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:20.559
he's sitting there trying to figure out
what happened and where they landed. He's

961
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:23.400
just choking up and choking up.
Well, no, he's choking on and

962
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:25.960
then you realize he's alive. Yeah, he's not. I don't think he's

963
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.079
laughing. I think he's just dying
smiling. I don't think he's smiling.

964
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:32.199
I think he's just upside down.
I'm just I'm my personal opinion, He's

965
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:36.960
just upside down. He choke him
and then start strangling him. Yeah,

966
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.280
yeah, and then he falls,
choking stops, and then it's just him

967
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:43.440
in the hole with him. So
now Calhoun starts making his trek down the

968
01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:45.440
mountain looking for them, and since
they're covered in this hole, Calhoun doesn't

969
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:49.880
find them. So then we see
Calhoun just having a barbecue as he's dragging

970
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:52.599
other bodies into the cave. Yep. And as I commented immediately, I

971
01:03:52.719 --> 01:03:57.440
was like, look at that.
No smartphones, just people in the moment.

972
01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:01.760
But so now are I mean character
is stuck in a situation where he's

973
01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:05.800
horribly injured. Yep. He's stuck
in that hole. Yeah, he's freezing

974
01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:13.280
and starving, and he knows because
the Wendy go is real, yeah,

975
01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:16.360
that if he eats that flesh,
he will get his strength. He will

976
01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:20.280
get not just his strength, but
he'll heal, He'll heal, he'll completely

977
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:25.559
be back to it. And this
guy that died with him was a tough

978
01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:29.760
mother hover, yes, he was, so eating his flesh would bring you

979
01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:34.719
up, you know. So eventually
he makes that choice, gives in mainly

980
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:39.960
because he just wants out of that
hole and to potentially stop Calhoun. Yeah,

981
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:42.559
and while this is happening, we
also see Cleaves and Martha have arrived

982
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:45.639
back. It's Fort Spencer and they're
on the lookout for them. We see

983
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:47.119
them doing about their test, but
they keep looking towards the hills waiting for

984
01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:50.159
them to come back. So,
uh, Boyd wakes up the next morning

985
01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:54.800
and begins his trek back to Fort
Spencer alone. He's trekking through the hills

986
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.719
and the snow and makes it back. He goes to ask Martha as soon

987
01:04:57.760 --> 01:04:59.719
as he's back about the wind to
go and how to stop it, and

988
01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:01.239
Mark That tells him there is no
stopping it. Yeah, there ain't no

989
01:05:01.360 --> 01:05:04.599
stopping There are no legends where you
can stop a Wendy go once you become

990
01:05:04.679 --> 01:05:09.239
one, Yeah, I mean it's
over. So he's also called on Durdin

991
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:12.719
General Slawson to send him to the
cave to find the bodies and inspect and

992
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:16.400
everything. And he's basically being blamed
for the deaths at this point. Oh,

993
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:21.119
basically because they when he tells his
story, the first thing they have

994
01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:25.239
is they're like, look, we're
not saying you're lying. But if you

995
01:05:25.320 --> 01:05:30.480
admit now that you were scared and
confused and tell us what really happened that

996
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:33.639
they died of misadventure, that you
were scared, that you da da da

997
01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:36.639
da da, will be kinder to
you. And of course his response is,

998
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:42.880
no, I saw what happened to
them. A man named Calhoun murdered

999
01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:47.360
them. And his response is like, hold up, fam we don't believe

1000
01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:53.800
you, but we got to replace
your commanding officers, so we got someone

1001
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:56.679
to take care of business until we
figure out what we're going to do next.

1002
01:05:56.719 --> 01:06:00.079
So Slawson tells him they have a
new temporary colonel joining and introduce U.

1003
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:03.679
His klonel eves as Calhoun walks in
in full soldier attire, causing Boyd

1004
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:08.599
to immediately panic. And he's cleaned
up, cleaned, his facial hair is

1005
01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:13.880
shaved nicely, and at that moment
we realize no one who got a good

1006
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:17.400
look at Calhoun is still alive,
except not for our man. So he

1007
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:20.519
tells him that Knox can confirm that
that's Knox didn't get a good look.

1008
01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:24.960
That's my point. Knox was drunk
and passed out, does not recall him,

1009
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:27.599
but Knox humors him, saying that
if Boyd shot him in the shoulder,

1010
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:30.400
the wound would still be there.
So they invite Ives in and he

1011
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:33.119
strips his shoulders out and there are
no bullet wounds anyway, And that's where

1012
01:06:33.159 --> 01:06:39.519
we establish that it's almost where will
fly healing of capability. That's where we

1013
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:42.760
really get the sense that it's like, no, it can literally make you

1014
01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:46.679
invincible almost as long as you keep
eating, you keep getting stronger. So

1015
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:50.559
Slows and his troops leave and Boyd
goes to warm up, or goes to

1016
01:06:50.639 --> 01:06:55.760
warm clean worn Cleave and mar Cleaves
and Martha, but he finds Cleaves talking

1017
01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:58.559
shit about him and that he's crazy
and he's the killer. So he's like,

1018
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:00.199
you know, well you've been worn. And then Boyd is out watching

1019
01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:03.960
Cleaves chops some wood, and he
has this crazy vision that he goes up

1020
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:06.280
to Cleve, hits him with the
hammer and then just starts cutting him open

1021
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:10.079
and eating him while Cleves laughs at
him. Yeah, that's the part that

1022
01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:12.840
like, I love that because that's
insane. Yeah, he's just laughing and

1023
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:15.960
coughing up blood as he's ripping into
his flesh. Yeah, And it's at

1024
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:18.679
that moment that he mentions later on
he keeps mentioning, like, I have

1025
01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:23.599
these nightmares, these constant nightmares,
yeah, about eating flesh, and it's

1026
01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:30.039
tormenting me. And that maybe because
Boyd is not a monster. No he's

1027
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:34.039
not. I mean he's becoming a
monster, yeah, but he himself is

1028
01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:39.159
not a monster monster, And I
don't think we can say so about Calhoun,

1029
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:41.400
not just yet. No, no, no, no, Calhoun is

1030
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:45.960
a monster. He's a human monster. He is very, very scary of

1031
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:48.599
this. So Boyd has the crazy
vision and the next we see the five

1032
01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:51.840
of them all in the cabin parlor, just enjoying the evening. You got

1033
01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:56.840
Calhoun reading a book, Knocks and
Cleaves are doing our playing chess, and

1034
01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:01.280
Martha's knitting, and Boyd is just
one watching Calhoun and he's almost falling asleep.

1035
01:08:01.519 --> 01:08:03.840
Yeah, yeah, he's starting to
nod off. He reminds me of

1036
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:09.079
a cat. Yeah, So I've
shuts his book really quick, getting everybody

1037
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:12.199
on the alert. As Boyd rises
up with a knife and Martha draws a

1038
01:08:12.239 --> 01:08:14.800
knife on Boyd, and Calhoun's like, all right, I think everybody it's

1039
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:17.159
time for bed. Yeah, I
think everyone might be a bit tie.

1040
01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:20.560
So later that night, Boyd sits
outside a Calhoun's hut with a knife,

1041
01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:24.319
and he comes out and he tells
Boyd that, you know, I found

1042
01:08:24.399 --> 01:08:26.880
Riich's body. You didn't finish him
off. I get it. He was

1043
01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:29.399
tough, but a good old a
good soldier ought to be. Yeah,

1044
01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:32.920
he's so Hannibal Electory. Now.
Yeah, he's smoking, smoking his cigarette

1045
01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:35.920
and he's just out, you know, just telling him everything. And he

1046
01:08:36.000 --> 01:08:39.720
talks about how he learned the legend
of the wind to go from an Indian

1047
01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:41.640
scout and you know, hearing it, he just had to try it.

1048
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:45.000
So at first he ate the Indian
scout, Yeah, which I mean his

1049
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:50.039
Yeah, these his monologues are incredible
in this so good. So that confirms

1050
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:53.760
that he was right. And then
he admits that he is eating five men

1051
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:57.159
in three months, and he calls
Boyd out on being a coward because he

1052
01:08:57.319 --> 01:08:59.359
knows the power, he knows what
it can do, but he's still not

1053
01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:01.720
doing it. So hearing this,
Boyd takes his swipe and ives, cutting

1054
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:04.319
his hand open, and Ives tries
to entice him with the set of blood,

1055
01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:08.720
reminding him of the smell and the
taste and how you would feel better.

1056
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:11.800
Boyd refuses, but he goes to
attack eyes, but Martha comes up,

1057
01:09:11.880 --> 01:09:14.479
draws a knife to his throat,
and Knox puts Boyd under arrest.

1058
01:09:14.720 --> 01:09:21.199
Yeah, and of course all of
this because perfectly Calhoun is making Boyd look

1059
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:27.119
like he's the psychopath he was killing
and eating people. Yes, and frankly,

1060
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:31.880
since he is a Wendy go,
you know, he looks he hasn't

1061
01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:35.199
eaten since that one time. He
looks sickly, he looks unwell, he

1062
01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:39.840
looks crazy. And on top of
that, this man who, as far

1063
01:09:39.880 --> 01:09:43.279
as everybody's concerned, he never met. He's positive he's met him before.

1064
01:09:43.479 --> 01:09:46.520
Yeah, and it just looks real
bad about to get worse because Knox calls

1065
01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:49.279
for Martha to go find cleaves.
She can't find cleaves, so she goes

1066
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:55.520
into the barn and finds all the
animals slaughtered. And we're talking Head's hanging

1067
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:58.920
up, Torso's hanging up. So
somebody has intentionally got in they're slaughtered and

1068
01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:01.560
has eaten some of these animals,
and animals in this context, I mean

1069
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:08.159
we're talking horses Oxen thing like,
we're talking animals that would have allowed them

1070
01:10:08.239 --> 01:10:11.840
to go get help quickly and efficiently. Because it's a big there's a big

1071
01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.560
difference between riding a horse out to
get help and hiking for three days.

1072
01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:17.880
Yeah, big difference. So she
runs a tel Knox and as she walks

1073
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:20.720
up to the window, she's calling
to Knox and starts to have some blood

1074
01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:24.680
fall on her face. That's when
she looks up and starts getting terrified because

1075
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:28.600
Knox walks out, stands with her
and finds Cleave's body gutted on the roof

1076
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:31.319
of the cabin. And it's an
incredible reveal where the blood is dripping onto

1077
01:10:31.359 --> 01:10:34.760
her face and she's just so scared
by it. She just stands there and

1078
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:40.760
shot. Yes. And that's when
we realize that maybe something else is going

1079
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:45.600
on. Because Calhoun, I'm gonna
keep calling him Calhoun because it's confusing that

1080
01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:49.840
he changed. He becomes another character. Calhoun is only one man, and

1081
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.600
he was mostly just fighting with Boyd
all night. Yeah, who killed all

1082
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:57.119
these animals? Stuff? Like when
could he have done it? Yes?

1083
01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:01.319
So now if I remember the young
lady, what was her name, Martha,

1084
01:11:01.439 --> 01:11:05.600
Martha, She's got it. They
ask for volunteers. Who's gonna go

1085
01:11:05.760 --> 01:11:11.600
get health help? Yeah? They
want to place military arrest. Yeah,

1086
01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:15.079
and she volunteers because as a native
woman. She can handle that hype,

1087
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:18.479
and she knows where she's going.
Yeah, and frankly, I wouldn't want

1088
01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:20.960
to be I think she also just
didn't want to be there anymore. Her

1089
01:11:21.079 --> 01:11:25.960
last friend she lost her husband,
remember he was the Native American that was

1090
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:29.640
on the trip. And then her
brother brother, Oh sorry, brother,

1091
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:32.279
thank you. And then Arquette was
her brother's best friend, and then was

1092
01:11:32.319 --> 01:11:35.720
the one who she leaned into when
she was mourning him. And now he's

1093
01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:39.680
gone too. So it's like if
I was her, I'd be like,

1094
01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:41.920
yeah, I'm gonna go get him, and then I'm also not gonna come

1095
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:49.760
back. So now we have two
cannibals, one evil and one neutral.

1096
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:56.920
Yeah, and this poor drunk,
good enough doctor. I'm sure he'll farewell.

1097
01:11:57.119 --> 01:12:00.960
I'm sure he's going to do very
well. As they have BOYD tied

1098
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:04.920
up, yes, awaiting because they
can't do anything else with because they're awaiting

1099
01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:10.960
military military prison. So you got
boyd, Ives and and Major Knocks are

1100
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:14.560
all together now, and we see
that Ives is preparing a stew as he

1101
01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:16.239
calls to Boyd, calls to Knox
because he wants to know he's still alive.

1102
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:20.960
Ives is Calhoun, Yes, Ives
is Calhoun. Knox questions Ives about

1103
01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:24.840
his missing saber, because he notices
in the parlor that one of his sabers

1104
01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:28.279
is missing above the fireplace, and
before he mentions that, he says one

1105
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:31.479
of my favorite little moments. He
asks Calhoun if he can help him make

1106
01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:35.760
the stew yes, and Calhoun says, oh, I'm sure you'll contribute to

1107
01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:40.399
it. Later, we'll take your
contribution to he'll contribute it something. So

1108
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.439
Ive states that he hasn't seen it, and perhaps later that you might contribute

1109
01:12:43.479 --> 01:12:46.159
to the soup. Boyd asked Ives
when did he have time to kill cleaves

1110
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:48.239
and the horses, which pisses Knocks
off. So he goes to shut the

1111
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:51.680
door on Boyd. While he does
that, we see somebody with his sabers

1112
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:55.560
slip behind and then Knox comes back
into the room. He's like, well,

1113
01:12:55.560 --> 01:12:58.199
who opened that door? He goes
to shut the door and we hear

1114
01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:02.479
Knox go oh, And then Major
Knox is dead. Boyd, here's the

1115
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:06.199
body hit and the door opens,
and what do you know? It's Colonel

1116
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:13.239
Heart. Colonel Heart Jeffrey Jones not
dead, but he looks, I mean,

1117
01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:15.640
he looks much better than a dead
man. He's you know, he's

1118
01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:18.319
like he walks in, He's like, hi, boyd. Yeah, what

1119
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:23.359
a great twist, and what a
great way to keep us on our toes

1120
01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:26.720
as an audience, because I would
not have seen that coming in the little

1121
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:29.640
least. The first time I watched
this, I was like, holy shit,

1122
01:13:29.720 --> 01:13:31.840
I did not expect that. Yeah, and he's he's a little bloody,

1123
01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:35.359
he's a little worse for wear,
but obviously, like we said before,

1124
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:39.079
he had his guts were spilling out
before, so so he's doing a

1125
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:45.319
lot better than now. And that's
when we find out that Calhoun awoke him

1126
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:49.920
feeding him human remain, and we
strike, and this is when we start

1127
01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:55.600
to realize that one of the big
elements of what Calhoun is doing is actually

1128
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:58.680
that he doesn't want to be a
low It was pursuit of human flesh.

1129
01:13:59.239 --> 01:14:03.720
He wants to have cannibal buddies,
and he's sold Jeffrey Jones's character on the

1130
01:14:03.880 --> 01:14:09.640
idea of you and me are going
to be cannibal buddies. But of course

1131
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:13.439
Jeffrey Jones's reaction is like, I
like you, BOYD, Like I really

1132
01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:15.079
do. I have no intention to
kill you. It's it's tough making friends

1133
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:20.000
as a cannibal, tough making friends
as a cannibal. But it's such a

1134
01:14:20.079 --> 01:14:25.600
good line. But that also makes
you realize something again, which is Calhoun

1135
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:32.159
is a particularly monstrous Wendy go because
even Jeffrey Jones, he's clearly perverted by

1136
01:14:32.199 --> 01:14:38.840
the whole Because then in the next
scene they finished the stew with Knox's body.

1137
01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:42.720
Yeah, and they're eating it and
it's it's, you know, a

1138
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:45.760
big stew with carrots and potatoes.
Well before that, yeah, he takes

1139
01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:50.760
Boyd outside because that's when they unveil
the plan that because ives Calhoun unveils that

1140
01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:54.760
you know, this Ford is gonna
be is so busy in spring and summer

1141
01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:57.560
that we'll have people come through.
We're not going to kill all of them,

1142
01:14:57.600 --> 01:15:00.920
will kill selectively, but you know, it's just gonna be on the

1143
01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:02.800
dinner table as soon as the as
soon as winter finishes. And while he's

1144
01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:06.520
doing this, he's hacking up our
Knox's body. And it is a great

1145
01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:10.000
speech. Thank you, I didn't
I almost went right over it. It's

1146
01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:13.880
a great speech about manifest destiny and
all the gold hungry Americans that have to

1147
01:15:13.960 --> 01:15:16.479
pass right through here. Yeah,
and so many of them. You never

1148
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:19.439
hear from again. Nope, so, and I do like how he's trying.

1149
01:15:19.560 --> 01:15:23.119
He's like, we will kill selectively. Yeah, we won't kill everybody.

1150
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:26.479
No no, no, we'll kill
very selectively. But it's like he's

1151
01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:29.840
really trying to sell him on this, like, let's be Cannibal Bros.

1152
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:32.079
Which, by the way, is
the name of your debut album, Thank

1153
01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:40.119
You, coming out twenty twenty five
Innerscope Records. Jesus, do You Even?

1154
01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:50.800
Movie? Will be right back,
welcome back to Do You Even Movie?

1155
01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:58.079
At this point too, he also, you know, tells Boyd the

1156
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:00.000
plan and he's like, you know, join us or die, and that's

1157
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:03.279
when he stabs Boyd, basically gives
him a final death stab and if he

1158
01:16:03.399 --> 01:16:06.039
doesn't do anything with these wounds,
they're gonna kill him. Yeah. Yeah.

1159
01:16:06.079 --> 01:16:10.079
Basically it's like that won't kill you. He says, that won't kill

1160
01:16:10.079 --> 01:16:14.720
you if you eat or if you
take precautions. So I think it was

1161
01:16:14.800 --> 01:16:16.800
it was a line like that,
but he was referenced he was saying flash

1162
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:20.880
yeh yeah. Basically, now now
you have no choice. Before you were

1163
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:25.960
slowly dying of hunger. Now you
are just dying and the only way out

1164
01:16:26.319 --> 01:16:31.079
is to take a bite of stew. And this scene is disgusting and upsetting,

1165
01:16:31.159 --> 01:16:33.039
and it was one of the ones
that got to me a lot as

1166
01:16:33.079 --> 01:16:38.760
a kid. And as he's resisting
and resisting, and as Jeffrey Jones is

1167
01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:42.000
eating and being so happy that he's
gonna feel so much better, and Calhoun

1168
01:16:42.119 --> 01:16:44.920
is just a freaking nutter, because
Calhoun is a nut job, Jeffrey Jones

1169
01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:48.239
is the line, isn't this nice
three of them sitting? Yeah, No,

1170
01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:55.760
it's it's it's the insanity is palpable. And at that moment, after

1171
01:16:56.159 --> 01:17:00.960
a lot of uh, we see
that Boyd's wound is just lea he's gonna

1172
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:03.399
die coughing up blood, and he's
just got this thing of stew in front

1173
01:17:03.439 --> 01:17:06.640
of him, and he gives in
and he just starts eating the stew and

1174
01:17:06.880 --> 01:17:10.760
you know, he's gulping it down. And then we cut to a couple

1175
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:15.119
of days later. He's completely fine. He's looking very well and and and

1176
01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:20.159
that's the moment when the movie really
became hard for a young Enrique watching in

1177
01:17:20.239 --> 01:17:25.039
his little little living room. And
I could see that in suburban Ohio.

1178
01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:29.079
So we see Boyd watching ives and
heart prepare for general Slawson's arrival because Martha's

1179
01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:31.640
bringing him back today. Heart visits
Boyd asking him if he's to be trusted

1180
01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:34.199
because they need to set him free
so that they can you know, get

1181
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:38.359
Ives and everybody under control so they
can take the fort. And he goes,

1182
01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:40.960
you know, can you be trusted? And Boyd goes, of course

1183
01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:44.239
not. So then we see Boyd
being led out and Ives is watching from

1184
01:17:44.279 --> 01:17:46.800
the watch tower for General Slawson's wagon. Heart goes into his old office with

1185
01:17:46.880 --> 01:17:49.680
Boyd, unlocks his cuff, and
he comments on all his missing books and

1186
01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:53.800
how they all related to the same
thing, you know, of happiness and

1187
01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:58.800
how to achieve it. Yeah,
to which Boyd responds, Aristotle's search was

1188
01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:00.520
for truth, yeah, which I
just love that line, Like for some

1189
01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:04.039
reason, he he knows it.
Yeah, it was Aristotle. He knows

1190
01:18:04.039 --> 01:18:08.159
Aristotle because he was like, because
I got confused for Resent because they Quoe

1191
01:18:08.199 --> 01:18:11.279
Nietsche at the beginning. Yeah,
Yeah, he's like, he's like Aristotle

1192
01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:14.079
search for truth. And this is
also a great scene too, to demonstrate

1193
01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:16.439
the change Jeffrey Jones character, because
we talked about in the beginning he was

1194
01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:19.640
eating the walnuts and he was having
trouble crushing them so that he started using

1195
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:24.359
books to do it. Now he
just crushed them with his hand. He's

1196
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:30.119
not fisting them, David, crushing
them with his fists. Please, no,

1197
01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:33.880
David. So he's crushing these walnuts. That needs to be the first

1198
01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:41.000
do you even movie t shirt?
Just Dave fisting them. So he's crushing

1199
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:43.720
these walnuts, and that's when he
breaks down and tells Boyd that this is

1200
01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:45.600
not how he wants to live.
He does not want to do this anymore.

1201
01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:48.520
He's already figured it out and didn't
take him long to realize he's not

1202
01:18:48.560 --> 01:18:51.920
a monster. He's not a monster. So he freezes Boyd because Boyd says,

1203
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:55.640
you know, I'm gonna go kill
Calhoun. So he freezes Boyd and

1204
01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:58.199
he goes, you know, boy
to have one more request, kill me.

1205
01:18:58.399 --> 01:19:00.520
And Boyd wastes no time walking up
to the window that he's looking out

1206
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.399
of. Right his eyves is coming
off the watch tower and he just slices

1207
01:19:03.479 --> 01:19:06.840
Jones throat. Blood sprays on the
window. Calhoun walks up and sees this,

1208
01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:10.880
and you even see I love because
Jeffrey Jones gives him one last look

1209
01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:14.039
that's like, you're not gonna win. Yeah no, And that's why I

1210
01:19:14.199 --> 01:19:15.319
love. One of the things I
love is that, like, I don't

1211
01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:21.159
know if Jeffrey Jones the character,
I don't know if he really was on

1212
01:19:21.319 --> 01:19:25.960
board at first and then realize the
reality, or if he always just wanted

1213
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:30.479
to have an upper hand on Calhoun. I don't he was just lonely,

1214
01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:32.720
because I mean, that's that is
all the biggest things that he throws in

1215
01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:34.560
the mood in the first part of
the movie is just you know, this

1216
01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:38.439
is a place where not a lot
of people come. We make our own

1217
01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:41.159
company here. It's good to have
company. Well, when he says like

1218
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:43.880
you search for truth, he's like, well, my I did everything right

1219
01:19:43.960 --> 01:19:46.199
searching for truth and I ended up
here, yeah, which is a really

1220
01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:50.359
fair point. Yeah. Yeah.
So now it is the final battle as

1221
01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:54.760
Ives catches Boyd the Powler unsheathing one
of the sabers, and the two go

1222
01:19:54.880 --> 01:19:58.279
into a vicious battle. They cut
each other a little bit and then Ives.

1223
01:19:58.800 --> 01:20:01.920
Calhoun disappears out and Boyd is looking
for him. Suddenly a bell rings,

1224
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:03.960
which takes him over to the barn. So he goes into the barn

1225
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:08.319
and that's when there's just stabbing implements
galore all over the place. We are

1226
01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:12.079
not going to be able to describe
this fight properly. Calhoun drops from the

1227
01:20:12.119 --> 01:20:15.319
ceiling at one point and they get
into a huge fight. So he picks

1228
01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:17.439
up a pitchfork and he jabs Calhoun
in the side, and then he tries

1229
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:19.880
to get him in the face and
he holds it off, and that's when

1230
01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:24.560
they just start throwing each other all
over the room, stabbing, cutting,

1231
01:20:24.680 --> 01:20:28.239
stabbing, cutting, stabbing, And
it finally gets to one point where Boyd

1232
01:20:28.359 --> 01:20:30.560
draws him over to one section of
the barn, which he has the roof

1233
01:20:30.600 --> 01:20:33.199
collapse on, so he's buried him
and he wanders off, and then he

1234
01:20:33.319 --> 01:20:36.319
calls him over one more time and
they go into this other section of the

1235
01:20:36.399 --> 01:20:40.640
barn. They're throwing each other against
the wall, and Calhoun gets thrown into

1236
01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:43.800
one part of this room where boy
draws him into, and that's when he

1237
01:20:44.000 --> 01:20:47.159
lands onto a bear trap that he
activates on both of them. They land

1238
01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:51.479
together. Yes, they're gripping each
other. He drops him onto this gargantuan

1239
01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:55.720
grizzly bear trap, and remember grizzlies
are out that way. Yeah, so

1240
01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:58.840
they'd have the biggest bear traps in
the world. And when he falls on

1241
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:00.960
it together, he just starts hitting
it and hitting it to make it snap,

1242
01:21:01.159 --> 01:21:06.079
and it snaps on both of them
them what I'm ending to the fight.

1243
01:21:06.680 --> 01:21:13.399
And as they are dying, as
they are suffering and choking blood,

1244
01:21:14.479 --> 01:21:18.720
Calhoun immediately goes, if you die
first, you're definitely eating you. And

1245
01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:23.960
he's like, but the question is
if I die, what are you gonna

1246
01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:26.560
do? Yeah, what are you
gonna do? And that's when and at

1247
01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:30.640
that moment you hope as the audience, that BOYD will die and let the

1248
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:36.000
Wendy go die. Yeah, but
there's a little poisoned pill in the in

1249
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:40.880
this in this mess. By this
point, General Slosson and Martha have returned

1250
01:21:40.920 --> 01:21:43.119
to the fort and they can't find
anybody, of course, so they're searching

1251
01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:46.560
around and Slosson just happens to notice
the pot on the stove and goes over

1252
01:21:46.640 --> 01:21:49.560
and starts taking a couple of SIPs
out of it and really really likes that

1253
01:21:49.760 --> 01:21:57.319
soup. Yeah, and it's probably
still x yes, maybe even somebody oh

1254
01:21:57.399 --> 01:22:00.960
and probably leaves. Yeah, you're
watching it. When he was stirring,

1255
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:03.119
you see like a big rib bone. Yeah, and you were like,

1256
01:22:03.239 --> 01:22:04.960
man, look at that ribbone,
and I was like, David, that's

1257
01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:08.000
how you make broth. Oh,
I know, bone broth. It was

1258
01:22:08.079 --> 01:22:10.479
just making a time. It was
just funny, though, David, that's

1259
01:22:10.520 --> 01:22:14.039
how you make a And then I
was like, so in his dying breaths,

1260
01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:17.960
Calhoun is going live or die,
Live or die, and then suddenly

1261
01:22:18.039 --> 01:22:23.560
he gets to that last one and
goes. Just at this point, Martha

1262
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:28.079
peeks into the barn, sees both
Boyd and Calhoun have passed, closes the

1263
01:22:28.159 --> 01:22:30.760
barn and just quietly backs away outside
of the forts. And that, my

1264
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:34.439
friends, Yeah, she leaves,
she's done some ditches, And that,

1265
01:22:34.640 --> 01:22:41.479
my friends, is nineteen ninety nine's
ravenous. A phenomenal film worth revisiting,

1266
01:22:41.680 --> 01:22:45.359
especially in the cold, hungry winter
months. Yes, when you find yourself

1267
01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:48.840
only with a can of Spam and
a Blu ray player, this is what

1268
01:22:48.880 --> 01:22:53.199
you should have brought to your cabin. Uh, you know. I mean,

1269
01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:57.800
maybe I wish there there are some
good ones out there, but I

1270
01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:02.239
wish there were more really good when
movies, there are a couple good.

1271
01:23:02.359 --> 01:23:05.279
I liked it, but I wish
there was one that was a little more

1272
01:23:05.439 --> 01:23:12.359
like what was that when we saw
Antlers Antlers was pretty good. I want

1273
01:23:12.439 --> 01:23:17.039
one that's I want one that's like
Balls to the Walls, but but subtle

1274
01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:25.960
enough to be scary. So not
Frostbighter, although Frost Fighter is fun podcast.

1275
01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:29.439
I mean, if I wish there
were enough Windy Go films to talk

1276
01:23:29.479 --> 01:23:31.640
about, I would do Wendy Go
Wednesday. You know, we do Wendy

1277
01:23:31.680 --> 01:23:35.560
Go Week but no. I but
I enjoyed this one. I think that

1278
01:23:35.680 --> 01:23:41.079
the Wendy Go references are It's subtle, it's minor. It's not like this

1279
01:23:41.239 --> 01:23:45.720
is a movie about Algonquin folklore or
something. And I really I love this

1280
01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:53.000
movie. I love the style,
but I really love that the characters got

1281
01:23:53.159 --> 01:23:58.760
to have a choice. Yeah,
and that's when you realize that the Wendy

1282
01:23:58.800 --> 01:24:03.279
Go only opens the door to being
a monster. But if you are a

1283
01:24:03.479 --> 01:24:09.640
monster, you'll run fast as you
can. Let alone the fact that he

1284
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:13.439
sought it out, but just the
fact that he was running to it.

1285
01:24:13.920 --> 01:24:16.880
Jeffrey Jones's character thought he wanted it. When he saw the reality, he

1286
01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:21.039
didn't want it. Boyd thought,
in one moment of desperation, he wanted

1287
01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:26.640
it, and never took that desperation. Never took desperation bring him there again

1288
01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:30.039
because as he you know, he
drank the soup. He only did that

1289
01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:34.279
so he could stop till again.
No, he was only alive for one

1290
01:24:34.359 --> 01:24:39.880
purpose purpose, and that was to
stop them from killing the innocent people passing

1291
01:24:39.920 --> 01:24:43.520
through that fort. Which brings him
full circle because then he didn't take He

1292
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:45.640
wasn't a coward because he could have
died. And that's what I also love.

1293
01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:48.600
Another great point had the opening of
him being a coward and he wins,

1294
01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:51.960
But in this sense, he's not
a coward and he wins. Yeah.

1295
01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:56.680
Originally he sneaks up on the enemy
because they would never expect him to

1296
01:24:56.720 --> 01:25:00.000
pop up from pile of dead bodies
stab someone and then gets ready to shoot

1297
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:02.159
somebody. So he takes it from
the this was the Spanish or the Mexican

1298
01:25:02.199 --> 01:25:08.960
American war war you but this time
around he faces it head on. He

1299
01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:12.840
sacrifices a lot, including his own
life, but not just his own life,

1300
01:25:13.039 --> 01:25:15.239
but kind of it away his soul
and his reputation because he's going to

1301
01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:17.520
be blamed for these murders. There's
no way he's not going to be.

1302
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:19.640
I don't know if anybody will be
able to figure out what the hell happened.

1303
01:25:19.640 --> 01:25:24.840
And that I mean because just explaining
Jeffrey Jones's character still being alive would

1304
01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:27.479
be a little hard true, I
mean, who cares about his reputation?

1305
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:30.439
My point is that like his soul
metaphorically because he had to eat the flesh

1306
01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:35.159
twice. Yeah, but he did
it for a good good Yeah, good

1307
01:25:35.199 --> 01:25:39.479
cause. So I agree. So
my point is I agree and wholeheartedly the

1308
01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:42.199
idea of him being a coward at
the beginning. Yeah, by the end

1309
01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.279
of this he's kind of the biggest
hero there is. Yeah. I love,

1310
01:25:45.840 --> 01:25:48.640
I really love how it comes full
circle. Ravenous Is is a really

1311
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:53.800
fun one. And so considering how
phenomenal the movie is, I mean,

1312
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:57.119
it must have just lines around the
block in the theaters, right. So

1313
01:25:57.239 --> 01:26:00.720
it opened on March nineteenth of nineteen
eighty nine at eighteenth in the box office,

1314
01:26:03.520 --> 01:26:09.279
grossing over just teen eight teeth,
grossing over just two million dollars against

1315
01:26:10.479 --> 01:26:14.159
it's twelve million dollar budget. Friends, that doesn't mean two million dollars that

1316
01:26:14.239 --> 01:26:17.640
weekend, No, he means two
million dollars this entire theatrical run. Yep.

1317
01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:23.079
And it was also it was like
a Fox two thousand movie, which

1318
01:26:23.680 --> 01:26:28.239
which listen whether it's movies or pro
wrestling. If you add two thousand or

1319
01:26:28.479 --> 01:26:32.079
new to an old name, everybody
knows, Ye, it ain't gonna work.

1320
01:26:32.159 --> 01:26:34.640
No, it's gonna be It's gonna
go poorly. And I think that

1321
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:39.600
this was Fox kind of dipping their
toes in a different kind of concept because

1322
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:43.560
they would always did that Fox Searchlight. They had all these different different concepts

1323
01:26:43.640 --> 01:26:46.960
and labels and stuff like that.
But this, I I can only guess,

1324
01:26:47.399 --> 01:26:51.680
based on looking at the original poster
that they had no clue what they

1325
01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:55.439
had. They had no idea how
to market it, yet for some reason

1326
01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:58.880
they felt fine spending twelve million dollars
on it. And that's the thing that

1327
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.359
blows my mind is it's like you
spent twelve million on it, which means

1328
01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:06.600
logic dictates you probably spent ten million
marketing. That was the best you could

1329
01:27:06.640 --> 01:27:10.640
come up with. Yeah, but
uh, and you said it came out

1330
01:27:10.640 --> 01:27:13.680
in March, March and March nineteenth
of nineteen eighty nine, so it wasn't

1331
01:27:13.680 --> 01:27:15.840
even dumped in genuine was not dump
dumped, was not dumped. I mean

1332
01:27:15.840 --> 01:27:18.199
it's dumped a little for not being
out in the summer, but still,

1333
01:27:18.439 --> 01:27:21.399
yeah, that's that's Uh, that's
a shame, that really is. Would

1334
01:27:21.439 --> 01:27:25.039
you like to know some more fun
facts. I don't think they're gonna be

1335
01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:28.479
fun, They're not going to hell. Yeah wait, David, don't call

1336
01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:33.039
them fun facts, call them tasty
tidbit tasty tidbits. Oh yeah. So

1337
01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:38.000
this was John Spencer's last film.
He played General Slows in between its release.

1338
01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:42.319
He died of a heart attack in
December, of a December Fifth of

1339
01:27:42.399 --> 01:27:45.560
Night. Yes, super fun facts. That shut up. It takes twenty

1340
01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:47.760
five minutes for Boyd to utter his
first sentence in the film, because that's

1341
01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:51.039
when he's talked to Jones. Yeah, that's true. Very loosely inspired by

1342
01:27:51.079 --> 01:27:55.279
the Donner Party of eighteen forty seven. Even though the ives backstory is very

1343
01:27:55.319 --> 01:27:58.640
similar to Alfred Packer, it is
kind of similar to Alfred Packer. Yeah.

1344
01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:01.199
The original ending was suppose take place
on the roof of burning cabins,

1345
01:28:01.239 --> 01:28:04.279
but it was scrapped as Pearson Carlisle
figured out at this point they just wanted

1346
01:28:04.279 --> 01:28:06.880
to beat the hell out of each
other in the story. Okay, that's

1347
01:28:08.039 --> 01:28:11.439
fair enough. Yeah, I can
see that. I mean it is like

1348
01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:16.880
it is like this movie is like
the fight version of like a romantic comedy,

1349
01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:21.000
just cock teasing you all the way
through the film, Like the entire

1350
01:28:21.079 --> 01:28:25.119
movie, you're just waiting for them
to finally show down because remember the first

1351
01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:28.520
time they have their showdown, he
jumps yeah and runs yes, and that

1352
01:28:29.359 --> 01:28:32.159
showdown production ran out of fake blood. Oh my god, I believe that.

1353
01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:36.319
So Guy Pierce, a well known
vegan, had to do several takes

1354
01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:40.800
of him eating the lamb stew,
which was prepared by set caterer's very delicious

1355
01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:43.920
stew from what Robert Carlisle said,
so he would take a bite and then

1356
01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:47.239
immediately spit it out when Antonio Bird
called cut. I mean, I that's

1357
01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:51.760
not that uncommon on movies anyway,
because people don't You have no idea how

1358
01:28:51.840 --> 01:28:55.359
many takes you have to do on
some of these movies. People eating food

1359
01:28:55.359 --> 01:28:59.119
and movies is crazy. So often
they're just spitting food out a take after

1360
01:28:59.239 --> 01:29:01.880
take, especially actresses, because they're
watching what they eat very closely. So,

1361
01:29:02.039 --> 01:29:04.079
I mean, that's not shocking to
me. But I am surprised he

1362
01:29:04.159 --> 01:29:06.800
was a vegan. In nineteen ninety
nine, there weren't that many vegans yet,

1363
01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:10.720
not yet. No. Yeah,
So the final thought for Ravenous,

1364
01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:14.199
I am gonna give this a rent. It this is a very entertaining horror

1365
01:29:14.199 --> 01:29:15.720
film. May not be for everybody
because of the cannibal aspects to it.

1366
01:29:15.920 --> 01:29:18.640
I mean it's it's a bleak film
with a lot of dark humor too.

1367
01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:21.800
It's not a family meal now,
no sarily. But to me, this

1368
01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:26.479
is a great adventure horror with beautiful
scenery, fun characters, and no one's

1369
01:29:26.520 --> 01:29:29.000
safe in this movie, which builds
up the tension even more. Yeah,

1370
01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:31.439
it keeps you guessing massively. Yeah, and the isolation aspect drives it forward

1371
01:29:31.479 --> 01:29:34.159
because you're isolated with a monster,
you know, and they know that you

1372
01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:38.079
know. And this is just an
underrated late nineties gem to man. But

1373
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:39.920
do you know that they know that? You know? Oh, they know

1374
01:29:40.039 --> 01:29:43.720
that. I know that you know. So you know how we always like

1375
01:29:43.760 --> 01:29:45.760
to end the show with a recommendation. I've got two this time around.

1376
01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:50.119
Okay. I went with horror westerns
and obvious one. First twenty fifteen's Bone

1377
01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:54.640
Tomahawk. Okay, I could see
that in the dying days of the Old

1378
01:29:54.680 --> 01:29:57.720
West, and elderly sheriff and his
posse set out to rescue their town's doctor

1379
01:29:57.720 --> 01:30:01.039
from a cannibalist at Cave Dwellers.
This is a very good movie, but

1380
01:30:01.159 --> 01:30:05.560
it's a slow burn and it is
very gruesome, extremely gruesome. Yeah,

1381
01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:09.760
you earn the pain that that movie
leaves you in. Yeah. And the

1382
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:12.239
other one I'm gonna give is one
I'm dying to show you and we need

1383
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:15.159
to do it sometime soon. Curse
of the Undead from nineteen fifty nine.

1384
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:17.840
This is a black and white horror
western. It says, while Meladi is

1385
01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:21.520
claiming the lives of young women in
western town, a sinister gunslinger for hire,

1386
01:30:21.640 --> 01:30:25.319
Drake Roby, is really a vampire, and it's up to Preacher Dan

1387
01:30:25.439 --> 01:30:29.079
to save his town and his girlfriend. I would like to watch it.

1388
01:30:29.199 --> 01:30:31.840
It's fantastic. It was one I
discovered from letterbox. I saw a couple

1389
01:30:31.880 --> 01:30:34.079
of review it and that's how I
found out. About a couple years ago,

1390
01:30:34.119 --> 01:30:36.960
got a Keyno Blue ray and it
is phenomenal. Well, I'm about

1391
01:30:38.000 --> 01:30:40.359
to blow your mind with my recommendation. Go ahead, No, you're not

1392
01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:43.039
gonna guess them. Okay, You're
never gonna guess these. Okay, Okay,

1393
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:46.680
So number one, I'm gonna go
horror Western. Five Bloody Graves by

1394
01:30:46.720 --> 01:30:51.479
al Adamson, good call. I
really like five Bloody Graves is cheesiest hell.

1395
01:30:51.520 --> 01:30:55.319
Al Adamson's movies are not high quality, yeah, but they are a

1396
01:30:55.439 --> 01:30:59.000
lot of fun. Yeah. It
is a nasty, brutal little Western,

1397
01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:02.800
yes it is, and it is
it's charming in its way. And then

1398
01:31:03.039 --> 01:31:08.239
my other recommendation, and I really
debated this, and that's why I know

1399
01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:15.720
Dave's gonna be like, what the
fuck? But Bones and All that's a

1400
01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:20.119
good call because Bones of It All
made me queasy with the cannibalism. Although

1401
01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:24.560
the romantic element is is you know, whatever, however you feel about it,

1402
01:31:25.199 --> 01:31:27.720
I liked it. I liked it. So Bones and All is one

1403
01:31:27.800 --> 01:31:30.760
that I think would be a really
good pairing with this. It's a lot

1404
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:33.520
more highbrow, and literally I couldn't
have gone more lowbrow and then highbrow with

1405
01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:38.479
my recommendations. But I think if
you want a movie about cannibalism, and

1406
01:31:38.640 --> 01:31:45.159
especially about cannibalism as a metaphor for
a desire to consume and a desire to

1407
01:31:45.319 --> 01:31:48.640
take and to give and all of
that, that move I think Ravenous makes

1408
01:31:48.680 --> 01:31:51.119
some really great points, and I
think that Bones and All makes a really

1409
01:31:51.159 --> 01:31:57.960
great point. So my recommendation is
the artsy fartsy bones and all. I

1410
01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:00.960
really, I really stand by that. I enjoyed it fine. I don't

1411
01:32:00.960 --> 01:32:05.680
know if i'd i'd watched it time. So that all being said, I

1412
01:32:05.840 --> 01:32:09.079
call it a rent it yeah,
rent it for me too? Yeah,

1413
01:32:09.279 --> 01:32:13.239
I think that. I mean,
if you're a horror nut, if you're

1414
01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:15.399
a nineties movie lover, because it's
a two thousand move, it's really nineties

1415
01:32:15.439 --> 01:32:20.920
movie a if you're a person who
loves unsettling movies, yeah, then it's

1416
01:32:20.960 --> 01:32:25.560
definitely for your collection. But as
a as a common moviegoer, this is

1417
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:30.720
definitely an excellent curiosity to watch and
give a give a fair shake too.

1418
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:32.760
And it's uh, you know,
we can't say this now because you've listened

1419
01:32:32.760 --> 01:32:35.119
to the show, but if you
can go in as blind as possible,

1420
01:32:35.319 --> 01:32:38.520
that will be the best time you
have with it. Yeah. And usually

1421
01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:40.439
people have seen the movie or maybe
they have it. But you know what,

1422
01:32:40.520 --> 01:32:43.800
I found that a lot of people
value spoilers way less than we do.

1423
01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:45.920
I have really noticed that. Did
you know that they did that whole

1424
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:48.319
study about trailers. People were like, what are the people the best of

1425
01:32:48.439 --> 01:32:51.439
a trailers? Are? Like?
Well, because when they show they show

1426
01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:56.159
people trailers and then show them the
movie. They respond most positively to what

1427
01:32:56.279 --> 01:32:59.319
they saw in the trailer being in
the movie. Yeah. And when I

1428
01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:01.680
heard that, I was like,
uh, because I you know me,

1429
01:33:01.880 --> 01:33:04.119
Like, you'll be like, bro, did you see the trailer for blank

1430
01:33:04.159 --> 01:33:05.800
movie? And I'll be like,
Dave, I already said I'd go see

1431
01:33:05.840 --> 01:33:08.920
it. Yeah, that's my I'll
literally be like, I don't care,

1432
01:33:08.920 --> 01:33:12.560
I'm already. I don't send you
trailers anymore because either you a won't watch

1433
01:33:12.640 --> 01:33:14.720
them or B we'll just catch them
in the theater. Most of the time,

1434
01:33:14.920 --> 01:33:17.760
I mean, occasionally if there's something
crazy we've been waiting for, but

1435
01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:20.319
if it's just like some movie we
heard about and we already said, like,

1436
01:33:20.319 --> 01:33:23.800
we're gonna go see it, yeah, I'll be like I might watch

1437
01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:26.520
the trailer, I don't care.
I'm already I'm already gonna go see it

1438
01:33:26.560 --> 01:33:28.239
no matter what the trailer is.
Well, I mean, it brings a

1439
01:33:28.279 --> 01:33:30.560
good point too, that how many
times have we seen trailers for movies and

1440
01:33:30.600 --> 01:33:31.239
we're just like, oh, that
looks like crap. We go and see

1441
01:33:31.279 --> 01:33:34.239
the movie and the trailer did it
the worst than justice possible. I mean,

1442
01:33:34.359 --> 01:33:39.039
Taken is a great example that Taken
had the crappiest marketing ever. I'm

1443
01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:42.640
so glad the movie caught on anyway. Yeah, so ravenous my friends.

1444
01:33:43.159 --> 01:33:45.560
If you need something to chew on, yes, uh god, there are

1445
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:48.520
never enough canniba to warm you up
and just get you know, all the

1446
01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:53.119
good feelies of the winter and have
you know a big bull of stew that's

1447
01:33:53.159 --> 01:33:56.880
the way to do it. You
worry me? Yeah, I should all

1448
01:33:56.960 --> 01:33:59.720
right, So before we get out
of here, Before we get out of

1449
01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:02.600
here again, huge thank you to
everybody for your comments on social media,

1450
01:34:02.720 --> 01:34:08.800
on YouTube, on Instagram and everything
about my buddy Chicano. I really appreciate

1451
01:34:08.880 --> 01:34:11.760
it. It's still pretty fresh as
we're recording this. It's only been a

1452
01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:15.920
week and my head is still spinning. Big love to Dave. Last week

1453
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:18.560
when that all had happened, he
was like, hey, man, I

1454
01:34:18.640 --> 01:34:20.720
understand you want to do the show
or whatever. And I was like,

1455
01:34:20.840 --> 01:34:25.119
yeah, you're like, but if
you want, I'll come over. And

1456
01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:29.039
we came over and we went and
saw a movie and just hung out for

1457
01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:32.239
a minute and I was a fucking
wreck. So just thank you, man.

1458
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:39.479
I appreciated a whole hell of a
lot. Also, if you're watching

it'll make our video more discoverable.
And I know it's like it's full

1464
01:34:57.800 --> 01:35:00.279
the algorithm. Welcome to the world
where Yeah, and share it with a

1465
01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:03.800
movie loving friend if you love it. And also, Dave's been telling me

1466
01:35:03.880 --> 01:35:11.399
we've had some interesting development over on
TikTok and TikTok Patti Wack give it all

1467
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:15.840
about. But yeah, if you
want to get a hold of us,

1468
01:35:15.840 --> 01:35:17.000
if you want to recommend a movie, we have a lot of movies on

1469
01:35:17.079 --> 01:35:20.000
the dockets right there are fifty two
weeks in a year, which means we're

1470
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:25.000
going to be reviewing at least roughly
fifty two movies in a year. Yeah,

1471
01:35:25.359 --> 01:35:27.520
it may be more, it may
be less, it depends. We're

1472
01:35:27.640 --> 01:35:31.439
open to suggestions. We're also open
to things where it's not solely one film.

1473
01:35:31.479 --> 01:35:36.560
We're open to versus potentially, we're
open to series reviews. We're really

1474
01:35:36.720 --> 01:35:41.000
just kind of still figuring out what
all we want to do on the show,

1475
01:35:41.159 --> 01:35:42.760
but at the end of the day, it's really whatever we want.
