Also Johnny the Projection bows Mike 17 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:49.040 Away, I'm so into witchcraft on this episode. I think everyone's into witchcraft 18 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.280 in this episode and the episode What Is Episode Season two, episode number twenty. 19 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.879 This aired on February the sixteenth, nineteen seventy two, and was split 20 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.599 into two segments. Those are I'll Never Leave You Ever and there Aren't Anymore 21 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.120 mcveains. Our opening kickoff is deep into the end zone of the moors where 22 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:14.240 hounds bay and which is fly brooms, and the belief in the supernatural is 23 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.759 as natural as breathing or not breathing. We call this item I'll Never Leave 24 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.719 You Ever. I'll Never Leave You Ever? Written by Jack Laird from a 25 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.560 short story by Renee Morris, and was directed by Daniel Holler. It stars 26 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.240 Lois Nettleton, Royal Dano and John Saxon. It also starts Peggy Weber as 27 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.120 the Old Crone. She was also in the Different Ones, that one where 28 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.520 Dana Andrews shot his kid into space. She was the operator who talks him 29 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.840 into shooting his kid into space. This one's a love triangle in eighteenth century 30 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:50.240 England, Wales. Who can tell Thank God a Saxon as present to sort 31 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.080 it out. This one's about a young wife who's plotting her elderly husband's death 32 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.680 so she can be with John Saxon, and who can blame her? What 33 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.680 did you think of this, Mike? I thought there were some very effective 34 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.120 moments. I love Royal Dano or Dano. I'm not sure is he related 35 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:09.120 to Paul Dano or Dano? Good question. I never love Dano. I 36 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.960 heard somebody else Dano, and I like crept into my brain that I was 37 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.439 doing it wrong. But I think it's Dano. I think they said that 38 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.319 in the opening when they said tonight's guest stars, I think they said Dano. 39 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.919 And then I want to say that Paul Dano also pronounces his name incorrectly, 40 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.599 You idiot, that's how you say your name. I thought there were 41 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.080 some very effective moments. I love a good voodoo doll. Even though this 42 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.960 is not kind of a voodoo doll, it's pretty much a voodoo doll, 43 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.120 and all the stuff that happens with it, it is pretty freaking amazing. 44 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.199 I really love to hear Royal Dano just screaming through half of this episode, 45 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.520 and then yeah, it's great John Saxon comes in at the beginning, he's 46 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.840 there, he disappears for a long long time, to the point where I 47 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.639 wrote in my notes was that John Saxon in this episode. But otherwise I 48 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.199 had a good time with it. I watched it three times and it's not 49 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.520 bad. It's just I think watching it three times might have been your second 50 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.960 and third mistake. Yeah, again, trying to do ones due diligence here 51 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.120 and focus on other things, I guess, but it's just weird. I 52 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.040 don't know. I think for me, the issue was I feel like I've 53 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.399 seen this story before in this show, and it didn't need half of the 54 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.279 episode to tell this story. And yeah, like you've mentioned, Mike, 55 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.800 there are clearly some kind of fun little gags that they use the freshwood doll 56 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.079 that can't be burned over whatever the hell's going on in half of this with 57 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:42.160 that little wooden doll. But similarly to other episode segments of this show that 58 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.920 we've talked about, sometimes they just push the gag and push the gag and 59 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.639 pushed the gag and they just keep going, and it's like, maybe instead 60 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.759 of doing it that fourth and fifth time, just do it three times and 61 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.160 then we cut ten minutes out and we can have another segment that's a little 62 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.639 interstitial, a little palate cleans there. But even then it's like they don't 63 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.560 even do the palate cleansers anymore, because the palate cleansers those blackouts are now 64 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.959 just blown up into full feature linked segments. It's like, whoa, guys, 65 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.160 that did work? That did work? Why we deviated from it? 66 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:23.199 Because every segment now feels like it's expansive and they're telling this like whole thing 67 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.360 with all these moving parts, like I wish for the days of Children's Zoo, 68 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:31.120 and I know that's Twilight Zone, but they were using a similar format 69 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.279 here. I did not like this one. I think this is the worst 70 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.319 directed episode in the entire series. The whole thing was really murky. There's 71 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.759 a lot of silhouettes going on which do not feel as if they were planned 72 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.920 to be that this felt familiar, Chris, not necessarily from this series, 73 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.639 but it definitely felt like a Tales from the Crypt episode. I like that 74 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.800 what's described as this horrible old man turns out to be just this devoted, 75 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:03.079 invalid this character at the lead character like really horr horrible. Let me come 76 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.560 comb your hair, come over here and let me comb your hair. I 77 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:13.079 hate you, you fucking piece of shit. Like whoa like? I guess 78 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.000 maybe this has been going on for a long time. I guess is what 79 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.560 we're supposed to believe is that she's at the end of her rope because she 80 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.319 just has to take care of her husband till death do they part, which 81 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.040 is what I thought the fucking term was here, and till death seems very 82 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.360 very soon. The problem here is that he's lingering. He can't linger that 83 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.720 long. Why does she have to enact anything? It just doesn't make sense. 84 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.839 John Saxon says this to her at the end, like why did you 85 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.839 do this? You could have just waited like a week. Maybe you just 86 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.319 take him. You push him in front of that open window. You leave 87 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.439 the open window wide open exactly for her to get the flu, and that's 88 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:54.040 it. You just go push him from wherever she ends up jumping from. 89 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.480 At the end of the episode segment, I had a real hard time figuring 90 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.680 out what was going in that room after she so what she puts them in 91 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.879 the bag? She sets them on fire, yes, then she throws them. 92 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.360 Does she put them in water to put them out? He just like 93 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.040 jumps out of the fire. It jumps out of the fire, okay, 94 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.279 And that's it. That's right. This doll has self preservation. Yea? 95 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.759 Is it mimicking him? Is it mimicking him too? Is if it's an 96 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.959 avatar for him? Can he? Is he flailing around on the bed? 97 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.079 Well? Never know, they're not cuting between them to show us any correlation 98 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.759 between the two. They explain no rules here with their Welsh voodoo doll. 99 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.199 It's got to be whales. John Saxon's character's name's Yanto. That okay. 100 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.959 So we've got a Wells voodoo doll without any clear parameters of how it's supposed 101 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:56.319 to behave and and it's self preserving, which could have been interesting if like 102 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.560 she had to chase that doll around in order to kill it, like just 103 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.319 trying to her husband, like a reverse on Trilogy of Terror. Yes, 104 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.160 I was totally thinking of the Zuni fetish doll. It could have been great. 105 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.439 Also, there's I'm jumping around, but there's an out of nowhere inner 106 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.639 monologue late in this episode that suddenly we were in dune like we wants the 107 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.759 doll is animate and running around. We get her inner thoughts and it's the 108 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.319 first time ever. Okay, she goes to get the doll because she wants 109 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.279 to kill her husband. The doll poses no danger to her, she can't. 110 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.039 She finds herself unable to burn the doll, which her method is to 111 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.879 just put it on the rocks in the fireplace. She never actually puts it 112 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.799 into the flames. And if that's hurting it, okay, I get it 113 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.759 that. It's new woods, so it's not going to burn right away, 114 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.320 but like, how about crack the head off of it? She doesn't try 115 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.600 anything. She goes and throws it into a swamp. Where's the axe? 116 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.240 Get the ax? Yeah? And then that's my thing is when she throws 117 00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:00.360 it into the swamp, does the room become a swamp? Is that what's 118 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.399 happening? Is his bedroom suddenly a swamp? Yes? I think so. 119 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:09.919 But that's weird. What is going on in Wales? It's indeterminate really, 120 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.919 Like you mentioned it, father Blalan, Like I had a hard time following 121 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.320 what was going on because it's just poorly presented and not in an interesting way. 122 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.000 How far does that doll need to turn its head to get a look 123 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:26.679 at her? It? Does it five times? There is five separate shots 124 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.080 of this little doll turning its head. I will say the likeness of Royal 125 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.200 Dana was pretty good on that tiny carving like that was definitely him. I 126 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:41.399 also like the very nineteen seventies diamond lens flares part of this director's choices here 127 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.039 in the episode. Also when she's running, when our lead is running through 128 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.039 the forests, they use every sound effect in their animal. It's as if 129 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.480 they just went down the line pushing the buttons on every recording. It was 130 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.080 maddening. Is there any suspense here and there? By the way at the 131 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.919 end where she's looking for Yanta, is anyone in the audience convinced she's going 132 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.679 to find him, that he's going to be standing in that forest waiting for 133 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.200 her, and that it's not going to be her dead husband? Yeah, 134 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.399 and I agree. They definitely were using those sheep sound effects. Quite a 135 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:20.720 bad man. Also apparently the price of if you were going to write up 136 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.759 a receipt for the transaction, it would read death of elderly husband by black 137 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:31.440 magic. Total two spring lambs. Who knew it was that easy? I 138 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.960 love that character. The Witch character is my favorite character in the entire episode 139 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.759 segment because she's just like, you stupid lady. Oh my god, that's 140 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:45.519 a tongue action she's pushing. Then did the Princess Bride show up? That 141 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.240 was like, was that going on? Was Billy Crystal in the bad? 142 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.799 It's just it was like overacted and this ostensibly everything else was meant to be 143 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.600 serious, and it's like this weird just like I don't know which of the 144 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.679 woods. That's a very specific trophy kind of character in this kind of stuff. 145 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.159 And boy, it's just like right within that wheelhouse, they're not doing 146 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.720 anything. They're not doing anything to break any molds here, like at all. 147 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.279 It's very rope. By the way. Okay, so I mentioned she 148 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.919 doesn't try to destroy the doll other than fire, but she gets the doll 149 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.600 home, she puts it into this sack and he starts. Royal Dana starts 150 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.559 screaming from the other room that he's now blind, to show the audience the 151 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.600 correlation between the doll and Royal Dana. Two things. When she goes into 152 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.200 the room to check on him, his eyes are closed and he keeps saying 153 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.200 I can't see, And all I could think was open your fucking eyes. 154 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.559 Man. Then the other thing is so now the wife has figured out that 155 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.559 what happens to the doll happens to him, and her immediate reaction is I'll 156 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.759 put this in the fire. Jesus Christ. It's the most cold blooded thing 157 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.639 ever. She does not get the come up and she deserves in the end 158 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.879 of this, she should have burned right. Oh my god, I feel 159 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.360 terrible saying that. But something, something, something that would have been deserving 160 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.960 of the way she treated her like invalid husband. Yeah, man, I 161 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.440 don't know. John Saxon to the rescue, please, He's just not given 162 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.639 enough to do. It looked like he looked I was a David Banner. 163 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.159 He looked like watch You Magiggie from the last episode, the Bruce Bixby character 164 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.159 with an equally terrible looking fake. I would rather watch that a thousand times 165 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.639 and watch this again. Our next painting tell us the story of a young 166 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:37.159 man whose major in school is philosophy, but whose extracurriculum labor is take him 167 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.559 into the area of black magic. And for this you don't get a degree. 168 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.360 But the commencement ceremony is a guess. See for yourself, as we 169 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.960 offer you. There aren't any more mcbains. There aren't any morm mcbains. 170 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.399 This one was written by Alvin T. Sappinsley from a short story called by 171 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.480 One, by Two and by Three by Stephen Hall, and this one was 172 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.639 directed by John Newland. It stars Joel Gray, Howard Duff, Daryl Larson, 173 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.399 Barry Higgins and Luke. We're gonna have company. Look, we've had 174 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.840 a slew of mugging, mealy mouth face pulling, really bad actors playing delivery 175 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.960 men this season. But here's Mark Hamill to save the day and redeem it 176 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.960 because it's a really fun scene and he's good in it. This is the 177 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.840 story. This is the story of grad students and ancient family secrets that finds 178 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.919 Joel Gray and leishing a demon that stubbornly won't go away until all of his 179 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.759 friends are dead. They tend to do that, which I think of this 180 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:37.559 one, Chris. I love the line see you Francis such a great fucking 181 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.879 line. What's your name Francis Princess? Yeah, Luke, I mean Mark 182 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.960 Hamill. Look, Joel Gray is great, but Mark Hamill in that scene 183 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.440 looking mighty good too. Again, like just like babyfaced Mark Hamill, Like 184 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.919 I don't know that that kind of weird Memento in time aside, these rev 185 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.120 Avenge episodes all feel of a piece, right. This feels like that the 186 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.840 one where the guy's head is in the wall at the end. It's the 187 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.360 same thing of just don't you see where this is going? Don't you get 188 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.200 it? At This kind of feels of a piece of all these. Be 189 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.360 careful what you wished for, because the monster you unleash may come back to 190 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.840 just kill you instead. What year? What is this supposed to be set 191 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.519 in? Because at first I was thinking that they were going to do the 192 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:30.279 old twenty three skedoo and have some like raccoon skin coats and like little pennants 193 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.200 and stuff, and then it seems to be jolly old England. Then it 194 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.399 seems to be back in the twenty set. I'm like, when is this? 195 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:48.559 It's so overwritten and the dialogue is so from a book and not rewritten 196 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:54.039 for human mouths. So I had to write this line down. The object 197 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:01.159 of my mild regard lives not to see the dawn. It's a character named 198 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.559 mister Standish in this story. Okay, that's you Joel Gray, who's doing 199 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.799 his best Billy Moomeey impersonation. He looks like Billy Moomey in this for some 200 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.759 reason, really did Joel Gray. I love the guy, but he just 201 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.360 was He was just mugging and chewing the scenery, like pretty much everybody in 202 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.200 this episode. I didn't get that his two friends were dying because he unleashed 203 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.080 the demon. I thought it would just be his enemy's aka his uncle. 204 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.840 And his uncle comes in, He's just don't get a degree in wizardry, 205 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.480 and I'm like, wait, they offered that that was so weird. I 206 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.519 this episode did not hold together for me. I loved it. I thought 207 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.000 it was great. Wait really, oh totally, I really. I had 208 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.480 a good time with this one, beginning then starting with the painting Tom Writ's 209 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.200 painting that magician looking fellow. If you were to PLoP a cog in front 210 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.000 of that guy, you're ninety percent of the way towards the industrial light and 211 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.080 magic original logo. I thought. I think I like stories like this. 212 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.080 I think is as far as the revenge in Night Gallery, this one goes 213 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:12.480 right back to Portifoy with the cemetery. It's the same story except except Roddy 214 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.919 mcdowald is the hero of this one. I think stories like this and like 215 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.440 lot two forty nine from Tales from the Dark Side for teaching me the value 216 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:25.159 of lesson that if your college roommates starts chanting in an arcane language, you 217 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.000 should leave town. Because it seems to happen a lot. Here's a trope 218 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.600 that or is this a trope? I'm wondering, drinking jovially to your disinheritance? 219 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.720 Is that a thing? I feel like I see it a lot. 220 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.200 This story feels very similar to something that we watch with the Twilight Zone and 221 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.960 eighty five stuff. This whole what was it Like We're gonna get together and 222 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.480 we're gonna do evil or something, and it was just a bunch of like 223 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:55.639 college yahoos and they're just yeah, they're toasting to how well yeah, yes, 224 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.840 and then they're like the ghosts starts showing up right of the Yeah, 225 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.360 the ones that aren't able to be there anymore. Yeah, it did. 226 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.680 I think this would have worked better if it had been set in the time 227 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.559 period that that was setting, or if the other two characters were characters, 228 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.160 because it's Joel Gray, his uncle, and then two guys who were just 229 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.559 kind of replaceable. I'm like, after a while, there was one the 230 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.920 one guy, the donny most looking guy. I was just like, wait, 231 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.839 is he Mark Hamill? No, that's not Mark. And then Mark 232 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.359 Hamill shows up and I was like, Okay, that's cool. And then 233 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.240 the guy shows up again. I'm like, some Mark Hamill, No that's 234 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.839 not Mark Hamill. I believe that guy's name is Daryl Larson, and I 235 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.799 liked him a lot. That whole chase sequence. It had problems because he 236 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.319 would get chased into an inescapable position and then they would just cut to the 237 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.279 exterior and he would just walk out and then find his way to another inescapable 238 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.880 position. That was lame, but the chase itself that this hell hound chasing 239 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.160 him with the glowing right eyes. They did something really cool, which is 240 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.400 the lights wouldn't go off when the dog was chasing. They would dim slowly, 241 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.279 and I thought that was really effective. In fact, I think the 242 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.240 entire chase was actually guinely scary, particularly when it has him cornered in the 243 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.559 basement and it breaks the window and suddenly it has human, not human but 244 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.440 basically human hands and it rips those bars open. I thought that was really 245 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.119 terrifying. Agreed one hundred percent. That's the most effective part of the episode 246 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.720 segment for me is that scene because I did not expect it to have hands, 247 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.759 and all of a sudden it has hands. And it's again like that 248 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.519 the amorphous creature presents opportunities to do interesting things, and they were just like, 249 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.720 oh, now it's a hulking mass that could rip this bar open. 250 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.440 And then later it's I guess like a monster, human monster or something. 251 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.599 Yeah, they don't explain why it doesn't kill him at that moment, because 252 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.839 this is the force that Joel Gray has unleashed and it's killing everyone dear to 253 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.319 him, now his family, and he calls them early on, but he 254 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.960 says, I called it back at the last minute. Oh well, that 255 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.680 was very convenient that you called them back right at the moment when he was 256 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.759 about to come into that room. How about a visual effect to or a 257 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.519 sound effect to clew us in that the monster has been recalled instead of just 258 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.839 the guy waking up the next day. Anyway, that's that's nippicking, I 259 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.880 guess. I did like when they find the uncle's corpse. It was two 260 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:18.079 characters who are already involved in the show. Remember the Broach episode with Sondra 261 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.480 Locke where they suddenly have these two wacky English old men who find look at 262 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.240 what we have come? No, that thing, like, what the hell 263 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.240 was that? This felt much more mechanic, so made me appreciate it a 264 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.880 little bit more. This was a mediocre episode overall. Oh, how dare 265 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.359 you? This was fun? Hell I'm talking about like the episode. Oh, 266 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.599 I'm talking about the episode overall, both segments together. Yeah, this 267 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:44.759 segment's better than the first one. I think. If I'm going to do 268 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.559 a hell Hound, I wanted to be Tom Scarett. You can't always get 269 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.519 him, is the thing? All Right, We're gonna play a preview of 270 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:55.160 our next episode and we'll be right back to wrap things up. Now, 271 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.279 this one here, unabashed and unashamed, I submit to you as a dandy. 272 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.680 It dees into an ancient funeral rite having to do with a personage called 273 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.480 a sin eater, one who attends awake and partakes of the funeral food, 274 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:14.160 and in the process digests all the transgressions of the deceased, so that he 275 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.880 departs the earth a much cleaner and sweeter little item, proving that we've become 276 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.319 a bit more sophisticated in our tribal rites, but we are much the poorer 277 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.799 for our twentieth century chromium intellect. You might agree with me after you've seen 278 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:37.960 Sins of the Fathers offered to you now an item having to do with labor 279 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:45.240 and management. An employment office where is offered a collection of potential employees whose 280 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:52.960 skills are unique for in addition to their loyalty, industriousness, punctuality, and 281 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.400 impeccable cleanliness, they also run at least one hundred thousand miles without a lube 282 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.240 and an oil change. It's no wonder we call this when you can't get 283 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:10.240 help like that anymore? That's right. On the next midnight viewing, we'll 284 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.880 be taking a look at season two, episode twenty one that's broken into two 285 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.039 segments, the Sins of the father and you Can't get help like that anymore 286 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.400 Midnight Viewing.
