30 Screams or Less: Episode 1 – Christmas Bloody Christmas (Podcast Review Transcript)
Steve: [00:00:00] Warning, 30 Screams or Less may contain spoilers about movies that have recently been released. If you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it, come back and enjoy the show. Or, if you don’t want to waste your time watching the movie and rather have two random horror dudes, watch it for you. We got you covered as well.
[00:01:00]
Steve: Welcome everyone to 30 Screams or Less, where we review horror movies in less than 30 minutes just like back in the days where you ordered a cold ass pizza from Dominoes and expected it to be at your door in 30 minutes.
At 30 screams or Less. We review old school horror movies, new horror movies, and we give our opinions, but we cut out all the bullshit. We tried to get it done in 30 minutes less. We don’t have these podcasts drawn on forever unless maybe we have a guest appearing where, maybe we’ll, be a little bit longer.
I wanna give you a little background of who we are individually. My name’s Steve. I’m a musician, streamer on Twitch, I do all sorts of videos on Instagram and TikTok even though I’m in my forties, I don’t give a shit. And I’d like to introduce you to my friend, my colleague, my co-host, Corey Dimick.
Corey: Yeah, so I’m Corey. I’m a 37 year old dude living in [00:02:00] New Hampshire. I work full-time, I watch horror movies when I’m not working, so that’s legit my life. I have a wife and a couple dogs and a cat and so Steve and I decided to do this because we both share a love of horror movies and yeah that’s it. That’s me. Oh yeah. I play a lot of video games I like to fish and do all that shit.
Steve: Yeah, he likes to play a lot of Fortnite.
Corey: Fortnight rules, man. Don’t fucking, don’t hate.
Steve: No, I do enjoy Fortnite. But I tend to play more horror and Gore based games. That’s what I do on Twitch. But I like playing Fortnite. It’s fun. It’s a guilty pleasure, we might go off and banter about this kind of bullshit in this podcast here, but ultimately we like to keep it pretty horror based but, we’ll go on our little tangents here and there.
Corey: We have a script, but uh, yeah, we’re probably not gonna follow it like 90% of the time, so I don’t know why we do it.
Steve: Oh, I like riffing, just fucking going off and talking about whatever and trying to keep the podcast, as short as possible without wasting other people’s time.
Corey: It’s already been four fucking minutes.
Steve: I know I’m working on [00:03:00] it well in the four minutes is my lunacy of me trying to figure out how the hell to do anything. So three minutes of that is probably me just being a friggin idiot. That’s all.
Corey: That’s the old age.
Steve: It’s the old age. You turn 40, your fucking back hurts just from getting up from the ground, which is what happened. Stupid Ikea, I was putting something together from IKEA yesterday and my back is killing me for some dumb reason. Welcome to friggin old age.
Corey: Dude my back hurts when I get outta bed, so I know what you’re talking about.
Steve: Yeah. I woke up this morning, I’m like, I can’t fucking breathe because my back is killing me. what the hell? I’m like, I’m dead. I’ve died this morning, so whoever’s talking right now, straight ghost, you’re talking to a deceased person at the moment you’re not even talking to a deceased person. I’m the one that’s talking. That’s right. Okay, so today we’re gonna be talking about Christmas Bloody Christmas. We wanted to keep it kind of consistent with the holidays, it’s mid-December. A lot of Christmas movies are coming out. We got Christmas Bloody Christmas. We got that one Santa on Violent Night as well and then there’s all these other ones. Oh wait, what’s the other one? A Grinch [00:04:00] one.
Corey: There’s a Grinch one coming out, I believe next week. It comes out in theaters.
Steve: Okay, so we got our whole slew of holiday movies coming out this winter, and a lot of ’em are just like absurd and Christmas Bloody Christmas is no exception. It is completely absurd. With that in mind, 30 screams or Less we do the 30 minute review of the movie, and that starts right now.
So the movie is written and directed by Joe Begos. Am I right? Am I saying that right? Begos?
Corey: That sounds right. We’ll go with it.
Steve: I’m gonna go with it. It’s not Bezos, it’s Begos. We’ll
Corey: Hopefully he doesn’t sue us.
Steve: Um, I’m not worried about it. What is he gonna get from me? A freaking, I don’t know, piece of clothing maybe.
Corey: All the podcast royalties that we’re not making.
Steve: That’s right. Don’t want that. Here’s a quarter. Go downtown and have a rat, all that thing off your face.
All right. So it’s starring Riley Dandy, Sam Delich and Jonah Ray. It can be seen in select theaters and on Shudder for measly $4 and 75 [00:05:00] cents a month. Not a plug. We’re not affiliates. None of that stuff yet. Shit, you can get bougie coffees that cost more than that a month. I know from experience I like to buy stupid coffees when I’m going to Starbucks or whatever, essentially it’s dirt cheap.
So if you wanna watch it on Shudder, I highly recommend Shutter anyways. All right. Now we’re gonna talk a little bit about the movie here. Corey, I would love to hear. What your thoughts were on this movie, like the pros and cons why don’t you start off and I will chime in after you.
Corey: So when we were at lunch yesterday and you mentioned that you watched this movie and you thought it was garbage. I wanted to make this our first episode pretty much immediately because I fucking loved it. It’s basically the Terminator as Santa Claus. I mean, Santa Claus is pissed for whatever reason, and he is just going around murdering everyone with a fire axe. It’s fantastic. I love campy horror movies and I know one of Steve’s biggest gripes I’m letting this out of the bag early was there was a lot of fucks and I thought it was awesome.
Steve: Like too many fucks to be given in this [00:06:00] movie. I swear. That was one of my main gripes, is that every other word was fuck. And I’m like, okay, let’s dial it back. Not because I don’t like the word, I mean, it’s a very versatile word, but it seemed like a freaking child wrote it, and they’re like, ha ha I get to say the word fuck and they just put that on paper and that was the movie.
Corey: So you gotta understand that like this Joe Begos guy is known for that. Have you seen any of those other movies?
Steve: I actually haven’t.
Corey: So there’s one other movie he has called V F W, which is essentially just a bunch of old dudes in A V F W, just fucking killing people.
Steve: I was gonna joke about that. Now it’s fucking reality. Go ahead.
Corey: There’s a third movie he does too, and I can’t remember what it’s called right now, but that’s his style. It’s that campy, just bullshit none of this stuff makes sense kind of movie.
Steve: Mm-hmm.
Corey: Yeah.
Steve: I love campy movies. I love like, when it’s absolutely completely low budget and you know, it’s low budget. You just go into it and you’re like, yeah, this is fun. It’s absurd. It’s not like this movie that has a fucking ton of money put into it, and you’re just like, yeah, this looks like [00:07:00] some real independent shit.
I love that. I love those kind of movies. I think they’re great, but sometimes, when it comes to dialogue, I’m a dialogue guy. Either too much or too little I get weird about it. For instance, Inglorious Basterds, too much dialogue. I damn near fell asleep every single time I watched it. Finally finished it though.
Corey: It feels like it’s a six hour movie because of that.
Steve: Exactly cuz there’s so much talking and it, yes, it feels like a six hour movie. I don’t have time to watch six hours of movies. It’s like watching the friggin Lord in the Rings in a movie. I don’t know, it just feels that long at least. I didn’t hate the movie, but I just was like, Ugh, some of this is rough.
Corey: Dude you flat out called it garbage.
Steve: Yeah, because it is basically garbage. Let me explain why though. Not just because of the F words, the kills and everything were fine. What I also didn’t like was the gratuitous, eat out scene between Riley Dandy and Sam Delich it was like watching Cinemax, you know, remember Cinemax, you ever watch when they have the adult films come on and it’s the softcore porn.
Corey: He hit the buffet for like 15 minutes and wasn’t there some really [00:08:00] odd like synth electro music playing with some weird camera angles? They made it really odd. That scene.
Steve: That’s exactly what was happening. It was absolute porn music, your cheesy porn music that you would expect to hear and that went on like buffet style for what seemed to be 15 minutes. And I’m like, okay, this girl’s still got her bottom on as well. It’s like, if you’re gonna be down there for that long, why don’t you get like a little easy access? Why don’t you just go the full way, just dive in.
Corey: What even happen. She was wearing her underwear the whole time.
Steve: Yeah, I don’t know, you’d think that’d be kind of a pain in the ass after a while, like after 15 minutes of straight doing and watching Santa climb up the stairs slow as anything, it was just this really long, drawn on scene. Like you could have just, did that for a minute or two, panned away see Santa annihilating people, crushing skulls into the stairs and then he frigging goes and kills his next victim. I feel like that scene was just like too long. It was way too long.
Corey: So,
Steve: It did feel like I was watching Skin-a-max.
Corey: So when they were in that whole [00:09:00] scene, Tori Riley’s character, did I misunderstand that she lives in like the bottom or upstairs, and her sister lives in the same building as her.
Steve: Holy shit. Actually, I was just thinking the same thing as I was watching it. I was trying to figure out what the hell house they were in because there were so many different types of people in a house.
Corey: They kept panning the camera away to whatever Santa Claus was doing, and they made you think he was coming up the stairs to where they were having a, an all you can eat buffet and, he ended up being somewhere else.
Steve: A nice little twist because same thing I was thinking that he was finally making his way upstairs to like, you know, the golden corral of eating out and he like, and it wasn’t that he just showed up and he, stabbed the girl in the eye, with the butt of a axe.
It was gorry, it was violent. And then the kid was all super psyched to see Santa. Not the best Santa to be psyched for.
Corey: Yeah, I love that. And then she witnesses him getting. Oh yeah, I, I rewound that part a couple times. I’m not gonna lie, when that little kid got the axe to the face.
Steve: You maniac
Corey: Because you don’t see that often where [00:10:00] they’ll kill a kid in a movie. That just doesn’t happen anymore. And like it, this movie came out Friday.
So for that shit to happen in 2022, it’s just kind of unheard of.
Steve: Oh, absolutely. Kind of reminds me of a time I went and saw IT at the theaters and I see it about to happen, Georgie’s going down the road. He’s chasing his boat, it goes into the drain, and there’s Pennywise.
Corey: When he gets his arm bit off.
Steve: Yeah. Damn right.
Corey: Yeah, just it’s as gruesome as it sounds. It’s just like one of those things like when you see it, it’s awesome.
Steve: Yeah, it’s not something that you see often, so to see that in a movie, you’re just so shocked by it. It’s wild. It’s really crazy to see. I thought it was hilarious just for the sheer lunacy behind it. It’s like not something that you should be seeing ever. So I thought that was great. The shock and awe behind it. And then naturally Santa saw that, he was found out by the other people in the house. So, obviously they start to run and hilarity ensues.
Corey: Heh
Steve: I thought it was friggin, I thought it was like, it was, there was a lot of funny stuff to it, [00:11:00] but, was very, uh, yeah, it was very campy. Loved it though. Go ahead.
Corey: There was, I mean, when they were, when, Sam and what’s her face’s? Character just walking through the street in the middle of the night getting hammered. And then they go to the bar, get even more hammered.
Steve: Yep.
Corey: And then they just meet a fucking demonic Santa Claus who is a robot, mind you. And they never really explained that either. Like how he became that and why he was alive.
Steve: Yeah, I don’t think they really went into it. I think at the beginning they talked about there being like a recall on, uh, like, uh, some sort of like smart robots or whatever, and I think that’s literally it. There was like no actual backstory as to why the robot was like killing people. You would think if like you’re a robot and you came to life, that’s kind of the last thing you’d be doing is like kill all humans, you may be probably trying to figure it out how your software works in reality.
Corey: It kind of reminded me of like Chucky.
Steve: Yeah. But the thing about Chucky though is like it had the, uh, the soul of, uh, Charles, uh, Charles Ray.
Corey: [00:12:00] Charles Lee Ray.
Steve: Charles Lee Ray, that’s right. I thought it was Charles Lee Ray. I was second guessing myself there for a second, but it had the soul of Charles Lee Ray, whereas this was just a straight up robot.
Corey: Yeah, it was like a malfunctioning robot that just came to life one night in a toy store. Oh, that was awesome too. His first two kills.
Steve: Oh yeah. Where the dude was just like going to town, eating that girl’s ass.
Corey: Yep. Yeah.
Steve: A lot of buffets in this frigging thing. There was so much eating it’s the only food I saw in that whole movie. There was nothing else. Ass, or vagina. That’s all it was. It was, uh, it was very odd. Like literally like you see the scene, the guy pulls down the pants and he starts going to town. I’m like, oh my God, this was, this really escalated fast.
Corey: It was definitely odd, but that first kill was awesome. I loved it.
Steve: Oh, absolutely.
Corey: Fire axe.
Steve: Yep. He got the fire axe. It was like a first person deal and I think you mentioned how it kind of messed with you a little bit.
Corey: Oh my God, that that was probably like, one of my few cons about this whole movie was when he got the axe for the first time, the camera went [00:13:00] into basically third person mode and the cameraman had a fucking seizure or something while he was filming. It was just shaky for like, it was like a 10 minute scene of just nonstop camera shaking.
Steve: Oh yeah, I noticed that too. There was a lot of camera shaking. It was just like, Like, I don’t know what kind of camera they were using, whether it was like a Canon Rebel or some bullshit, but there was a lot of shaking. You would think you would use some sort of tripod or something that keeps things a little bit more stable. But it was very like almost gorilla style look for a movie.
Just very shaky.
Corey: I don’t know if that’s how it was supposed to be like, are we supposed to be viewing this whole thing through the eyes of Santa Claus or I, I don’t know.
Steve: That’s a possibility. I noticed that too. The ver like, it was really shaky. Some people that makes them like just ill, I was kind of fine with it, but I was noticing there was a lot going on it just couldn’t stay still. It was almost like you were on a boat and you’re just rocking back and forth and you’re like, fuck, I need to stare at the shoreline because you’re just constantly getting sick and I could see that, [00:14:00] cuz that did happen a bit. I was starting to get a little like messed up, noticing the wavering and the shaking. It just, it wasn’t still.
Corey: It kind of sucked too because it, I don’t know, it, it kind of killed the vibe cuz like I said, I mean, he’s getting his axe, he’s going for his first kill and you can’t even see what’s going on for the most part until like the last second when he finally gets the girl. And I don’t even remember if they showed the guy getting killed.
Steve: Yeah, I don’t, I think I remember like an ax going down and were they covered with something like some sort of tarp or a blanket or whatever. Because like, I think I saw like the ax go down. There was blood, but like the guy, yeah, I don’t think he actually, like, you really saw what happened. You saw what happened to the girl. That’s a given. But the guy, I don’t know. I didn’t see it happen.
Corey: By the way, I like how we said it. We were gonna try and avoid spoilers and this whole fucking thing has been spoilers.
Steve: You know, I think at this point it’s probably best that we just give our little spiel at the beginning saying, Hey, [00:15:00] this may contain spoilers. This is straight up containing spoilers,
Corey: Yep
Steve: You know what? Whatever, whatever, like, Hey, it’s our podcast. Until you all pay us, it’s our
Corey: podcast
yeah, you guys don’t have a fucking say on what we do. Sorry.
Steve: Yep. Sorry. Deal with it. No. Okay.
Corey: Um, so yeah, I I, what was your, you didn’t really say what your cons were about the movie other than the F word, and you can’t say just an F word is why you didn’t like it.
Steve: No, I, I wouldn’t say that. I mean, obviously the f words, it’s, it just felt like I was watching a worst version of white men can’t jump, and there was just so many F words. I’m like, okay, all right, let’s dial it back. Um, The, yeah, the eat out scene for God knows how long. I even, I was like, okay, this is a bit much and I’m someone who’s like, you know, fine with watching that stuff.
I’m just like, all right, let’s change. Go to a different position or something. But no, nothing happened. It just kept on doing that for what feels like forever.
Corey: Why, why did, so? The guy un finishes the girl [00:16:00] off and then she runs and goes and looks out the window and he just rolls over and starts whacking off. And
Steve: Wait. He was?
Corey: You didn’t see that he rolled over? No. He asked the girl. He asked the girl to peg him, and then he started whacking off.
Steve: That’s right. That’s, oh my God. I completely forgot about that. That’s Wow. Yeah. That’s a, that’s, that’s a bit much you. Yeah, you’d think, um, you know, it’d be like kind of a give and take deal, but I guess that’s not her thing. I guess isn’t her thing.
Corey: So he’s on the bed, you know, rubbing one out and she’s in the window watching a little kid get an ax to the head.
Steve: Yeah. Uh, a little interesting. You know, she’s like, uh, I’m good and just kind of walks away
Corey: She’s, she says, she’s like, I’m gonna go get some more whiskey.
Steve: I mean, she’s not wrong. It’s a good idea.
Corey: They drank a lot of whiskey in that movie.
Steve: They did.
Corey: I feel like. They said like whiskey so much.
Steve: Yeah, they, uh, yeah, there was a lot of whiskey involved. I mean, I’m fine with the love whiskey, but, um, a lot of drinking, that’s how it sets off the movie. That’s how it gets to [00:17:00] that gratuitous sex scene. And then, you know, in her drunken stupor walks downstairs, sees the, uh, the murder and then, you know, sees it, Santa Santa’s looking through the window and it’s like, uh, oh.
That’s how it, you know, that’s how all craziness starts. I will say that there’s a random pro in this movie. She was wearing a Death t-shirt. Did you see that?
Corey: Yeah, I noticed it when she was wearing a jean jacket when they were in the bar.
Steve: Mm-hmm.
Corey: I had never seen that particular shirt before. It was like the Death logo with the scythe but it was like yellow text. I’ve never seen it before.
Steve: Yeah, that’s news to me. I haven’t seen that before either. I wonder if like, you know, the record label for Death was like, Hey, we need to promote them even though they’re no longer an active band. Let’s, uh, here’s some Death shirts. Or do you think he’s actually like Joel Begos is like a death metal fan?
Corey: It could be because she also had a cephalic carnage patch on her jacket on the arm.
Steve: Wait, he did.
Corey: Mm-hmm.
Steve: I hadn’t even noticed that. Good, good. Find.
Corey: Yeah. Pretty much one of the first things I noticed.
Steve: Oh God, that, that reminds me of a time when [00:18:00] I bumped into the lead singer of Chimaria
Corey: Mark. Oh, Mark.
Steve: Good old Mark. Yep. Uh, I bumped into him randomly. I didn’t recognize who he was and at that time I didn’t know who Cephalic Carnage was either.
And I’m watching them. And this is at Metal and Hardcore Festival, and I think I just, I think I called the band Capital Carnage. I wasn’t fucking a hundred percent sure. I was like, I don’t know, something. Carnage. Capital Carnage. He came up to me, he’s like, Hey, who’s playing? I’m like, I don’t know. Uh, capital Carnage, something like that.
Corey: You lied to Mark Hunter.
Steve: Damn right. I did.
Corey: I bet he never forgot that.
Steve: He probably never did. He probably calls Cephalic Carnage, Capital Carnage to this fucking day.
Corey: Yep. Cuz of some fucking old guy at New England Metal and Hardcore Festival.
Steve: Yeah. Yeah. That, that’s me. I
Corey: miss Chimaria
Steve: Me too. I, if they came back and they did it under their, uh, you know, Christmas deals, I’d be there, but,
Corey: they do that, I still do. They do that still. I know it was in like Ohio or whatever, wherever they were from, but I, I don’t even, isn’t Mark like the only person left [00:19:00] in the
Steve: Yeah, pretty much. I don’t even know it’s a thing anymore, but I digress. We’re getting a little off topic because we can talk and do a whole nother podcast on freaking talking about Chimaria that’s a different ballgame. But, oh yeah, let’s go back to the, like, the pros and cons. Obviously we’d discuss the cons, the pros, um, or being a low budget movie.
I enjoyed the deaths, like the kills, uh, themselves, like seeing a guy’s head getting split open or like getting crushed on the stairs. Kind of, uh, American History, X style, you know, and, things like that. It was, um, they weren’t bad looking. And there was one though, where it’s like, okay, that looks pretty fake, it was the axe to, Sam Delich’s head. It clearly looked like it was just rubber kind of folding and then falling apart. It was pretty violent. But I, I did get a good laugh outta that, you know what, I was like, what am I gonna get at on this? I thought like the kills were good. The dialogue didn’t like the dialogue, uh, [00:20:00] you know, towards the end. This is another, like, it’s not a con, but it was like, holy shit, this isn’t, it felt like it was never gonna end. It seemed like she killed the Santa 18 times.
Corey: Yeah, I was, I was looking forward to talking about that. Cuz like you said, he, he died so many fucking times and then like that one time he went full blown Terminator like half of his flesh was still on his body and underneath was all the machine parts of him, and he had the red beams coming out of his eyes.
I thought that was really cool.
Steve: I thought that was cool too. I did, like how it got to a point where the thing was basically in pieces and still after her I mean, that’s what the Terminator did. Terminator was still in pieces and like going after Sarah Connor, so it’s pretty much the same deal, obviously. Well, it’s like Santa Terminator, but he is a killer. It ultimately, it’s a low budget Terminator, but with Santa instead.
Corey: It feels like that’s where like the inspiration came from for Mr. Begos. He wanted to make a horror terminator, essentially, but a holiday themed one.
Steve: Then [00:21:00] I thought, I thought like the same deal. Also there’s this other thing when it comes to movies and decapitation or like people getting their fingers cut off always fucking gets to me cuz I’m like, wow, that person’s gonna be quite disfigured for the rest of their lives.
Corey: Why did she randomly get her fucking hand cut off at the end?
Steve: I don’t know. Why did that happen? It just, it was so random. Like, she had her hand up and she knew he was coming, so it’s like she put her hand up and he just freaking lobbed off four of her fingers.
Corey: It was kind of funny cuz her reaction was insanely dramatic.
Steve: Yeah. She was just like, ah. And yeah, it was pretty over the top.
Corey: I thought the finale was cool, like that whole third act. There was very well done.
Steve: I like the third act better than like the first half I think. I think that kind of, uh, you know, brought the movie a little bit back for me, like, uh, Just the insanity behind, you know, trying to kill the robot. She had a fucking katana, and she’s just diving it into the friggin robot. You know, robot Santa [00:22:00] terminator Santa.
Corey: So, yeah,
Steve: He died so many times, like she crushed him. Wait, what did she crush him with? Like didn’t she blow up a car or something and he was there?
Corey: She ran over him a couple times, I think.
Steve: Yeah. I think he like got a car flipped over on him and he just somehow got out of it anyways.
Corey: Was it you saying that you think they spent half their money blowing up the ambulances?
Steve: Oh, absolutely. I bet you that was 90% of their budget.
Corey: One thing I noticed in that movie too was Santa, all of a sudden was an axe thrower. He threw his axe several times at people.
Steve: Yeah, all of a sudden he has that skill of just being able to throw an ax with pinpoint precision. I mean, if you’re a robot, I would think you have the AI to be able to throw a pinpoint precision ax.
Corey: I love how the character itself was supposed to be a robot, but they did a bad job making it look like a robot when it was, in the toy store. Like you could tell it was a human
Steve: Yeah, it a hundred percent looked like a human. I thought it was just a regular person just standing there like waving Christmas. Mean, ho ho, ho.
Corey: Yeah.
Steve: Wait, I didn’t hear [00:23:00] any ho’s in that whole time either. Well, actually no wait. I did when like the, um, the ambulance and stuff blew up. I think I heard ho and then he blew up underneath the vehicles. Am I wrong? Am I just hearing shit?
Corey: Um, it’s possible I’ll have to go back and watch it.
Steve: Yeah, I’ll have to go back and watch it and make sure I at least hear one ho in there because I feel like if you’re gonna be a Santa, even a robot Santa, there should be at least a few ho’s in there.
Corey: I hope if there’s ever like a sequel, he kills more kids.
Steve: My God. I wouldn’t be surprised. I wouldn’t put it past, uh, Joe Begos.
Corey: I mean, it’s not like they couldn’t make a sequel because it’s a robot.
Steve: Yeah, there’s probably a whole bunch of other, like robot Santas. I mean, that can’t be the only robot Santa, there’s gotta be a few spread out across the US. They could probably drag this thing on for 10 movies.
Corey: At least they had several. Like we were talking about before, the whole premise is all these Santa robots getting recalled because they’re all acting out.
Steve: Oh, wait, that’s, that’s what they said at the beginning, right? They said, yeah. Okay. They were all getting [00:24:00] recalled and, uh, yeah, and probably that’s the only one that didn’t get recalled.
Corey: I don’t know. I’d like to see more. I hope there’s more
Steve: I, I think that’d be funny. And, you know, I would watch them. I think I like shitting on it because of how many, like the, the stupid things, like I said, the, you know, the dialogue and all that stuff and whatever. But ultimately I watched it through anyways.
Corey: You sh you’d like shitting on it because I like it.
Steve: Yeah, of course I do. I like get, I like getting you going because you’re like, fuck Steve. Why,
Corey: You almost had me flipping the fucking table at lunch yesterday.
Steve: I always like to just get shit going. What, like the, the stuff I was talking about yesterday? Oh God. Wait, was that yesterday? Yeah, it was yesterday. Like the whole, all right. No, we don’t need to go too detailed about that because we only have a few minutes left to even talk about this movie. It goes by quick. You see that? It just 30 minutes or less. We got three minutes left to even talk about this. Okay.
Corey: Alright, we’ll wrap it up then?
Steve: No, no. We can still talk for three more minutes and [00:25:00] then we’ll do our wrap up because I set it up for 30 minutes, whatever. Um, ultimately, um, thumbs sideways for me.
Corey: I mean, I gave it three stars on my rating scale,
Steve: Three stars, three out of five?
Corey: Three outta five.
Steve: All right. Let’s see. Rating scale for me. Um, I’ll do three out of five, because. It’s a fun movie like overall, but there’s just like some gripes that I have a hard time getting past.
Corey: Apparently Joe Begos has a cameo in the movie, or he’s in the movie. I’m looking at his, uh, the IMDB right now. He played a character named Benny Barnes.
Steve: Benny Barnes?
Corey: I don’t remember who that was in the movie.
Steve: I don’t know who that is. Maybe a bartender. Nope, that’s not the Benny Barnes I need. Uh, I was just googling that and I didn’t find the right person, so. It was like a football player or something. No, I didn’t end up on Pornhub. It was like a football player or something. But you gotta be careful what you friggin search for on Google. That’s for damn sure.
Corey: I don’t know who this guy is. He kind of looks like Brody [00:26:00] King, honestly.
Steve: Oh yeah, the wrestler.
Corey: Yeah, but I’m trying to think of who he was in the movie.
Steve: Um, fuck. What does he look like? I don’t know what he looks like. Everyone, everyone’s probably like, fuck, we gotta look this up now because what does Joe Begos look like? Let’s see. Joe Begos let me get a quick, uh, picture of him. Uh oh. Yeah, I don’t know. He doesn’t look familiar. Maybe he was like the dude going down on the, uh, the girl’s ass.
Corey: You know what?
Steve: First guy that got killed at what?
Corey: Maybe.
Steve: Yeah, just a quick scene at the beginning. Get himself killed off and that’s it. He doesn’t need to be like a, a big deal in it cuz I don’t think he was in any of the cops.
Corey: That the guy, the sheriff looked familiar too. The guy that played the sheriff,
Steve: He did look familiar.
Corey: I don’t know what he’s from though.
Steve: Yeah.
Corey: Daniel Phillips is his name. Oh, he was, um, he’s in the Munsters he’s Herman.
Steve: No shit. Wow. Okay. I had no idea. That’s a nice little, uh. [00:27:00] Wow. Nice little reference there. So, um, that’s a whole different ballgame though. The, uh, the Munsters.
Corey: He’s in all of the, uh, all of the zombie movies, actually.
Steve: Every ro
Corey: him. Okay.
Steve: Every Rob Zombie movie. Damn. Okay. Well.
Corey: Literally every single one of ’em.
Steve: Well, he’s got his little cronies, so he has like his whole core crew that he freaking gets in every movie. They’re all the same people.
Corey: At least his talentless wife wasn’t in this then.
Steve: Yeah, that’s true. Yeah. He just, he loves to put her as like the main person in movies.
Corey: Yeah, I, I’ll never talk about a Rob Zombie movie on this podcast. You’ll need to find a new co-host if you wanna talk about that.
Steve: No, no. Well that’s when you would shit on him like crazy. And that’s the whole idea. We give our opinions on it and you, your opinion would just like shit on shit. You know? You’d just be shit on top of shit.
Corey: It would just be cons.
Steve: Yep just cons all the way through. I have some pros, some zombie movies, but yes, you have a lot of cons. You do not like them, but.
Corey: Um, Halloween one was okay, but everything else was garbage. Yes, [00:28:00] House of a Thousand Corpses is shit. That’s the last thing I’m gonna say for this episode.
