Cherry? 6 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.439 Brand new Cherry Flavor was a TV series on Netflix. 7 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.520 Was interesting, quirky in the best kind of a way. 8 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.520 All Right, we have covered Night Gallery, We've covered Tales 9 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.759 from the Dark Side in Another life, we covered Twilight 10 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.840 Zone eighty five, and we're back to do it again. 11 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.759 Who's we glad you asked? Joining me to discuss all 12 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.320 things televisual from our friends across the pond is the 13 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.079 projection Booths. 14 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.680 Mike white oudy, Hey, thanks so much for having me 15 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:06.799 follow alone. 16 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.480 My pleasure and the show we're discussing. That program, as 17 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.480 they would say, is the one season killer. 18 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.319 This was on Teams series. 19 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.239 That's our series one. 20 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.120 Technically we're going to get into britishisms, we might as 21 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:23.359 well go as series. 22 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.879 This indeed a show that asks the question. This was 23 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.959 on TV in nineteen eighty and we are discussing from 24 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.200 nineteen eighty. Hammer House of Horror now Hammer Films, of course, 25 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.879 founded back in nineteen thirty four by William Hines and 26 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.079 James Carreras. That company mainly released comedies and swashbucklers, and 27 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.480 a few crime flicks until about nineteen fifty eight. That's 28 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.879 when the company would gain its notoriety as the UK's 29 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.840 premier interpreter of classic horror when it released The Curse 30 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.920 of Frankenstein, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Now, for 31 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.359 the next twenty years, Hammer would be synonymous with lurid, 32 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.920 gory and suggestive horror. But by nineteen eighty the wheels 33 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.560 had come off this particularly gruesome cart and Hammer was 34 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.319 desperate to simply maintain its glory, never mind restore it. 35 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.319 Enter Roy Skegg should I say re enter Roy Skegg's 36 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.159 He had been a former production supervisor until he left 37 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.599 the company in seventy four to start his own film house. 38 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.400 When Hammer went into receivership in nineteen seventy eight, he 39 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.199 was asked back by the board of directors to take 40 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.960 over creatively, and his first act was to move the 41 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.759 productions away from Victorian subject matter and instead modernize and, 42 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.360 if at all possible, anthologize. Thus we have Hammer's second 43 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.520 foray into television. Hammer House of Horror now Hammer. House 44 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.960 of Horror premiered on August twenty eighth, nineteen eighty. That 45 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.080 was here in the US. This episode is called Witching Time. 46 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.319 This is season one, episode one, written by Anthony Reid, 47 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.439 directed by Don Lever. He was a TV veteran, apparently 48 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.680 having directed a bunch of anthology series in England, including 49 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.639 two shows called Scorpion Tales and Thriller She's Gonna have 50 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.680 to look into those. This one stars John Finch, Mister Macbeth, 51 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.719 Patricia Quinn. If you're listening to the show, and I 52 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.639 have to tell you, Patricia Quinn, is you should stop 53 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.240 listening to this show. It also starts Prunella g who 54 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.159 she was in Never Say Never Again and Ian McCulloch. 55 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.800 Bring on the dancing horses, Rocky and McCulloch, all right. 56 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.479 This is about a witch from the seventeenth century who 57 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.199 returns to her ancestral home with thoughts of vengeance and 58 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.120 possession toward its current inhabitants. A successful actress and her 59 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.960 mentally fragile composer husband are the ones in her sights. 60 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.520 Of course, this all might be in his mind. Mike, 61 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.360 what did you think of our first Hammer Horror. 62 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:42.719 They let that on TV. 63 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.080 Uh, yeah, I was pretty happy. Being a big fan 64 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.319 of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This was the side 65 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.599 of Patricia Quinn that I've never seen before, so yeah, 66 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.080 I was pretty happy about that. But more over, what 67 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.960 a quality cast. This cast is amazing. I love John Finch, 68 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.400 I love Patricia Quinn. I'm kind of curious if Susan 69 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.439 George was supposed to be in this because isn't that 70 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.360 her photo that is in the episode. I feel like 71 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.800 we're supposed to think that that's the wife, but it's 72 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.600 not her, right, that's no. Yeah, okay, I was very 73 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.639 confused by that. 74 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:22.480 Yeah. 75 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.399 Otherwise, I mean, the story is such that it it 76 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.959 feels a little it reminds me of like when I 77 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.800 was a kid growing up and there was a horror 78 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.839 show on Nickelodeon where it was about, like, I don't know, 79 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.160 a Puritan coming back and ruining the life of this 80 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.480 teenage girl because it's this whole Yeah, we're time traveling 81 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.319 and here's this witch and she's back. 82 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.720 But I was really hoping for more. 83 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.519 I wanted more of a plan or a plot or something, 84 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.759 because she just seems so I don't know, just kind 85 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.439 of well corny and nothing wrong with that, and then 86 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.240 just mischievous. I was like, oh okay, and of course, 87 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.560 like things get pretty heated haha towards the end. But yeah, 88 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.240 I was hoping for a little bit more to this story. 89 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.040 But again I was just so impressed by the cast 90 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.480 and just more John Findle that guy. 91 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.319 Now we just spent the better part of a year 92 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.600 toiling and Tales from the Dark Side, And of course 93 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.279 I love Tales from the Dark Side, do love Taless 94 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.639 in the dark Side. But going back several years now 95 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.680 from that, because this is nineteen eighty, would you not 96 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.439 agree that the writing, even as a little dialogue and 97 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.160 this little characterization as we're given here, just the level 98 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.800 has come up remarkably right. 99 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.800 Yeah, this is movie quality. I was surprised at just 100 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.639 how well, first off, how good it looks. The cinematography 101 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.879 on this is wonderful. Yes, the writing is fantastic. Had 102 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.680 they tacked on another what ten fifteen minutes, it would 103 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.639 have been a feature length movie. It was just kind 104 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:01.600 of blown away by that. 105 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:07.600 Yeah, it feels very adult, It feels very mature, even 106 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.720 though it's delving even like further into the more lurid 107 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.920 depths of what horror can offer, including the massive amounts 108 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.079 of nudity. That's what we're talking about. Like this, I 109 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.560 gotta say this episode begins. It begins the series extremely 110 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.079 cleverly in that we're given one of what we expect 111 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.800 from Hammer, which is a period piece with women and 112 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.040 bodices and dressing gowns and running through a Victorian mansion 113 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.720 and getting naked all and being stalked by a killer. 114 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.160 And then to reveal that's actually just a movie that 115 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.160 our lead is the composer of. 116 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:46.879 Yes, that was nice. 117 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.120 Oh man, I thought that was beautiful. And it also 118 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.639 brings us to a brand new segment here on Midnight 119 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.160 Viewing Mike. This is called was Brian de Palma in 120 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:57.600 England in nineteen eighty. 121 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.560 Yeah, this opening is very, very blowout, and yeah, just 122 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.160 to have the composer be our main character, it felt 123 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.040 a little barbarian sound studio as well for. 124 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.279 Me, very blow out. And then again body double, like 125 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.920 the let's start with the artifice of it and then 126 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.839 reveal that this is not this is the creators of 127 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.959 that thing. So this is even more realistic, Like you 128 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.759 can believe this even more than the old staid vampires 129 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.560 and or like slashers. 130 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.000 Yeah. 131 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.560 I love when they start with this and just pull 132 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.279 the rug out from under us, especially they're starting with 133 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.279 that kind of unknown POV which we get through so 134 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.600 many things, and yeah, that they get up to her 135 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.680 and I was expecting to your point a really horrible screamed. 136 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.000 Yeah, exactly. And not only Brian de Palma, but is 137 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.319 Jason Siegel a fan of this at all? This is 138 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.920 about a composer whose actress wife girlfriend is cheating on him, 139 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.040 and it does impose a Dracula puppet musical by the end, 140 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.199 because that would have really would have been perfect. 141 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was really happy with the whole 142 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.959 idea of him being this composer and seeing some of 143 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:16.560 the composition scenes. They didn't go too far into that. 144 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.360 I was just like, Okay, this is nice. It's a 145 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.160 nice way to set up this whole thing. I really 146 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.040 like how we immediately get the idea of her cheating 147 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.079 on him, and him pretty much. I think he knows 148 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.120 that he's being cutcolded. 149 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.559 He's yeah, I mean, his first conversation is she's definitely 150 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.799 cheating on me. Oh, but yeah, you know, I don't care. 151 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.200 He's on so many pills and he's been drinking so heavily, 152 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.919 which John Finch, yeah, right, art imitating life. I think 153 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.200 what I really liked about that was it set up 154 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:55.039 the sort of possibility of disbelief here, like that the 155 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.320 witch might be in his mind, and they go to 156 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.519 pains to sort of make that a possibility, but it 157 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.720 very well could have been a possibility, and it crossed 158 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.320 my mind multiple times during the narrative that they might 159 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.120 be pulling the wall over our eyes on this, which 160 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:10.159 would have been fine. 161 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.960 Yeah, and well you mentioned Macbeth, which I know he 162 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.799 was in, but I was reminded a little bit too 163 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.200 of Hamlet with this whole idea of the horse going crazy. 164 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.399 That's almost like what they not magical realism, but like 165 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.039 natural realism kind of thing where the animals are reflecting 166 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.600 what we feel. So you've got the dog who's afraid 167 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.960 of the storm, and then you've got the horse out 168 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.679 in the barn, and then the barn becomes this major 169 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.519 thing where it's like, okay, we need to go out 170 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.200 there make sure that the horse is okay, and then 171 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.559 that's where we find Patricia Quinn. So I like that 172 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.840 whole idea of nature just being a player in this 173 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.039 as well, this mysterious storm that comes along that it 174 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.919 feels like he's the only one that witnessed it because 175 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:55.080 when his wife's lover, who's also is he a psychiatrist? 176 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:55.679 Right? Yeah? 177 00:09:55.799 --> 00:10:00.080 Yeah, he starts to question the whole idea of like, well, 178 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.480 there really wasn't a storm last night, what's your problem? 179 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.799 And that's one of the things that tips him off 180 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.159 to think that our main character is little nuts. 181 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.000 Yeah. And by the way, that could have also worked 182 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.480 in the opposite direction. It could have been because that's 183 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.279 the wife's lover. He's trying to make him go crazy, 184 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.759 because we've seen that how many times on night Gallery? 185 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.120 Yeah, gaslight a very intense gaslight with hiring a redhead 186 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.080 to hang out in the barn. 187 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.120 Now, my question is during the storm, his dog, Billy 188 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.159 runs off by the way. At a certain point, he 189 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.799 calls after the dog and he just says Bill, and 190 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.879 I thought, wow, what a great name for dog. Anyway, 191 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.200 are we to believe that, because we do not see 192 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.559 Billy again for the rest of the rest of the story, 193 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:47.200 did she become Bill? Did the dog turn into the witch? 194 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.879 Or And when he finds her, she's basically sort of 195 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.840 crouched down like a dog. I think he thinks it's 196 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:55.960 a dog at first, and. 197 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.440 Yeah, yeah, he has no idea what she is, that 198 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.080 she's just black mound. 199 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.720 Basically, I think the possibility exists that dog transmographied into 200 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.639 Patricia Quinn, making it the sexiest dog of what. 201 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:10.440 God damn, she's amazing. 202 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.240 Good lord. It's not the first time we've seen her naked, 203 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.519 though she was not. Now for something completely different from 204 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.600 the Meaning of Life. Meaning of Life, she's doing the 205 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.159 sex education scene. She's John Cleese's wife comes in to 206 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.039 demonstrate with it. 207 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.159 I think I've seen that movie. 208 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.159 I watch again. 209 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.440 Speaking of Nickelodeon, there was a making of Movies show 210 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.159 on Nickelodeon when I was growing up, and they just 211 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.200 kept playing the same four baby episodes over and over again, 212 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.159 and one of them was of Life. What a weird 213 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.720 thing to put on Nickelodeons, the Making of the Meaning 214 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.360 of Life. That one Dark Crystal. I can't remember the 215 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.440 other ones. But yeah, that whole thing with the guy 216 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.320 in bed with his leg missing. I don't know how 217 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.840 many times I saw that scene because it was in 218 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.919 that whole scene was part of the making of video, 219 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.679 and I just saw over and over again because I 220 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.360 was so into the idea of well behind the scenes 221 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.080 stuff that I would watch anything. 222 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.159 I watched those same ones. I remember those ones. Do 223 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.159 you remember a similar behind the scenes behind the movies 224 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.120 show hosted by Leonard Nimoy? 225 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:15.960 Yes? 226 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.279 Was that lights, camera action or something? 227 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:18.639 Yes? 228 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.080 Yeah, And I remember once they had on a special 229 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.200 effects guy, like like prosthetics and masks and stuff, and 230 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.919 there was like a second head that they placed on 231 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:31.159 Nimoy and he's talking to it and he said, and 232 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.679 I remembered at the time thinking it was just a 233 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.360 funny name for a movie. But Nimoy says to the 234 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.440 prop because the prop is from this movie, he says, 235 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.679 didn't I see you in Geek Maggot Bingo? And then, 236 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.879 of course, years later to know that Geek Maggot Bingo 237 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.559 is a nick Z film, like speaking of weird shit 238 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.279 to be putting on like kids programming, Well. 239 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.080 It doesn't feel it feels like nick might have taken 240 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.000 name rather than vice versa. 241 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:55.519 I don't know. 242 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.919 Then we'll have to look at the timeline because I'm 243 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.279 looking for that show and I'm unable to find that 244 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.559 the Nimoy one. 245 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.639 Yeah, oh man, that's listeners. Somebody they'll write in, Actually, 246 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:08.840 somebody please find that Nemoy show for us. 247 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.440 You would think it would be on my spleen dot org, 248 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.120 but I'm not finding it there. 249 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.000 Oh what else is going on in this episode? Oh? 250 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:21.480 Power of light bulbs scares the shit out of our Yeah, well, 251 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:22.399 you know, I was. 252 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.960 It made me happy that they made some sort of 253 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.240 effort to show that she would be frightened by these things, 254 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.320 that there was some time passed, because how many episodes 255 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.080 of time traveling television if we watched where people are 256 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.840 just like automatically accepting of everything. I think about Dave 257 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.559 Leiterman's top ten list of things Abraham Lincoln would say 258 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.279 if he were alive today, and one of them was 259 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:47.759 eag iron bird. Yeah, modern things would freak the fucking 260 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.000 people out if they came from the sixteenth or seventeenth century. 261 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:51.960 Yeah, exactly. 262 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:53.799 And it is kind of clever to have it so 263 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.960 that when she comes in, it's all candlelit, and she's like, oh, okay, yeah, 264 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.200 like that's normal, that's solely normal for me. And I'm 265 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.279 surprised she didn't just she does sit there and like 266 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.039 flip the light a few times. I just kept thinking 267 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.279 that she was going to do that over and over. 268 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:12.039 It's almost like dissolved to her hours later, like still 269 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.039 flipping the light. 270 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.480 At a certain point, John Finch imprisons her in one 271 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.720 of the bedrooms. He locks her into the bedroom and 272 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.639 all I could think was like, you don't need to 273 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.120 do that. Just give her like a blender or something 274 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.960 like you joined this thing on and off and just leave, 275 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.039 Go get your friend. 276 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.960 What match be is this? And the next thing you know, 277 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:39.000 you just hear screams exactly, oh yeah, yeah, Well give 278 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.000 her a vibrator. She seems to be very amorous in 279 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:42.679 this episode. 280 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.679 Speaking of which, so there is there a couple of 281 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.279 sex scenes in this but they have the one that 282 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.360 is featured is there's a sequence where she's It ends 283 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.440 with her scratching her nails down his back and gouging 284 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.039 into it. And I bring it up because there's a 285 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.360 transition there where it goes from her digging into his 286 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.320 and digging these furrows in red to a little red 287 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.480 sports car wiping the frame. It was fucking awesome. 288 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:10.759 That was nice. 289 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.360 Yeah. Yeah, again, this thing is shot so well and 290 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.720 it's not just a simple Okay, we're gonna have two 291 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.080 characters in a room and we're going to lock down 292 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.159 the camera and have them move around. No, we're cutting, cutting, cutting. 293 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.519 There are so many shots on this it's really well done. 294 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.600 Yeah, the look is actually spectacular. And look, it's their 295 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.799 film division basically funneled into the television and working with 296 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.600 a lot of veteran television people like this director is 297 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.039 a TV animal. Basically he was always a TV But yeah, 298 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.240 I'm knocked out. I don't think there's only thirteen episodes 299 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.840 of this series appropriate. But I don't think we're ever 300 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.840 going to say the words. This looked really set bound. 301 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.480 It's just too slick. 302 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:57.879 No, nothing in here looks like it was shot on 303 00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.759 the set. I don't know if it was, but it 304 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.159 look like it, that's for sure. I really like the 305 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:08.080 shot when it is his psychiatrist's friend asking him questions 306 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:12.320 and you've got Finch laying closer to the camera and 307 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.240 half of his body is obscured, and then you've got 308 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.200 his friend with the needle in the background, and then 309 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.080 you can see the whole ceiling, which is so nice 310 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.639 that they are not afraid. Again, when it comes to sets, 311 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.440 all of these sets seems to have ceilings, so it 312 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.519 feels like they're shooting it. 313 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.480 They definitely are. In fact, ninety percent of all of 314 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.679 this series is filmed in one house, the Hampton House, 315 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.080 which Hammer Films had purchased in Hampton. So we looked 316 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.399 at a map today of all of the filming locations. 317 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.279 It's all within twenty miles of this house. So every 318 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.720 time they come, there's woods right there, there's a town 319 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.080 right there. They do some pickup shots, like I noticed 320 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.279 in not this episode, but the next one there's some 321 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.720 London like shots, so there's all they London's an hour 322 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.480 away so they can run down and get be roll 323 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:01.840 and stuff. But it's you know me, I love economy 324 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.119 and the fact that they're able to pull this off 325 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.079 and make it look so good and we're going to 326 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.799 see the house over and over again and not really 327 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.559 recognize that it's one house because it's a gigantic mansion. 328 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.480 It's one of those old English manners. 329 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.640 Which I guess is appropriate for the opening and closing 330 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.119 of this where they just got to show the big 331 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.680 house and I was hoping for you. We just came 332 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.519 off of a show that has one of the best 333 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.160 books ever, and I was really like Oh, what are 334 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.359 they going to do for the opening of this Not 335 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.839 a lot. But that's my small complaint about this show. 336 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.599 Yeah it's I like the theme because it's so modern 337 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.759 in a way, but it is just random shots of 338 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.880 this house and you would think maybe if there was 339 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.960 a season two, they could have at least cut a 340 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.079 montage together of creepy shit from this season, but they 341 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.079 just weren't there. But I agree, I'm a happy to skip. 342 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.400 I would never skip the opening of Tails from the 343 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.599 Dark Side, but this one, I'm like, eh, I don't care. 344 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:57.680 Yeah, well it's a quick opening too. 345 00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.720 It's not like we're sitting there and okay, get to 346 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:07.920 the episode, and at least it's not as irritating as 347 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.559 the Night Gallery. That was just a little bit when 348 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.880 that music was like okay enough. 349 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.039 Yeah, when that third season theme came in, down Dune, 350 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.960 Dune done, run for your life, Jesus, yeah, turn off 351 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:20.319 the TV. 352 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.079 Yeah, she loems so sorry. 353 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.240 The wife seems so clueless when she does. You talked 354 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.559 about the scratches. When she sees all the scratches on 355 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.680 his back, I'd be like, Okay, who were you fucking honey, 356 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.240 But instead she's just like, oh, so many scratches. Oh, 357 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.079 what's going on? 358 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:37.119 Really? 359 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.640 How did you do that to yourself? She lets him 360 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:40.319 off the hook. 361 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.599 Oh god, yeah, I saw on a rake multiple times. 362 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.920 And I love that she's back because he's completely strung 363 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.599 out and in her mind hallucinatory, and she's like, you 364 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.519 need to relax, Let's go for a walk through the woods. No, 365 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.559 I don't want to do that ever, And then she's 366 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:05.920 with him downstairs, goes upstairs, finds a decapitated bird that 367 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.599 is fluttering around. It has just been killed, and she's like, 368 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.799 what did you do? 369 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.319 Yes, lady, Oh, I love that bird.
