00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>culture cast Chris Statue, Yes, I wow.

<v Speaker 1>I Sometimes even I am left with very little to

9
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>say other than I've heard Taco is putting.

16
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 2>asked the question, how do you treat an ailing vampire?

17
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 2>The answer is love or This is the finest example

18
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>of the f l R lifestyle ever to show up

19
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>on broadcast television. What do you think of this one,

20
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris f l R. That's the female lead.

21
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Okay, what.

<v Speaker 1>A bunch of non up with the times, folks. We

23
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>are as we sit.

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Here, n M C F right naked naked male clothes female.

25
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>You always talk about that.

26
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>What is that?

27
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>You don't know?

28
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Category on like pornhub and stuff.

29
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>It's like a dude being jerked off by women, huh?

30
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Or just wait, what is the category again?

31
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 3>Clothed male naked female c n FF. I had to

32
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 3>look it up because I was just like, what the

33
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 3>fuck is it? Like? D D LG. You guys know

34
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 3>that one no daddy dom little girl.

35
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 1>I know d d l J.

36
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course.

37
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I know.

38
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I know that. I don't know d dp VD, DVD AV,

39
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>dv DA. Jesus Christ we call it. Yeah. Well, you

40
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>know what they say. Overachievers are always out there there,

41
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they live amongst them. What were we watching? This is

42
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>not a great episode of Tales from the Dark Side,

43
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and we are now banging into what feels like clunker

44
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>after clunker at the bottom of the season here, and

45
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I do not understand it, because this is a show

46
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that was, I would like to say, almost consistently good,

47
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>to the point of us going on, wow, there's nothing

48
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 1>bad about this question mark, Because now We're at the

49
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>end of the season and really feels like the show's

50
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>kind of hit a wall.

51
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 2>It's like a dumping ground.

52
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Would you say, like a season seven of Tails from

53
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the Crib?

54
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, But you.

55
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Said dumping ground. That's all I'm saying. Dumping grounds are

56
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 1>dumping grounds, regardless of whether or not there's cement over them.

57
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's an atari e t.

58
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>You could say season three of Twilight's on eighty five like.

59
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>It, I would, and I think I would. I would.

60
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not disagreeing with you. This is these episodes broadly,

61
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 1>these two are not great, and this one. I just

62
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 1>don't understand what possessed them to tell this story on

63
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>this show, because this doesn't seem like this kind of

64
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 1>show's story. This seems like Night Gallery, to be honest

65
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>with you, shockingly, night Gallery in a way that this

66
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>show doesn't and hasn't really felt like in my opinion.

67
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 3>How about you, Mike, Yeah, I was waiting for Chris

68
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 3>to say those two magic words, but he didn't. It

69
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>might be three, but I think the first one's a

70
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 3>compound word lockout skit. That's what this one is. But

71
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.279
<v Speaker 3>yet it's stretched out to a full episode.

72
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Especially after DVDA, What.

73
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 3>The hell is going on in this thing? First off,

74
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 3>she heals because she's a vampire, so she really didn't

75
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 3>need a doctor because he's just like, oh wow, look

76
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 3>at how fast you're healing. Okay, maybe a cast, maybe

77
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 3>something like an ace bandage doesn't require twelve feet a

78
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 3>change for this guy. Yeah, I don't. I was so confused.

79
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 3>And like I said at the beginning, why nineteen thirty five?

80
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>They weren't in period costumes.

81
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>They weren't putting on the smile. Is that?

82
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 3>What's going on? Are they affected by? Like here we

83
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>are in between World War one and World War two?

84
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Teta what?

85
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 1>It's a choice. It's a choice, As they say to me,

86
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 1>they made choices, and you know what, sometimes you make

87
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>choices that don't work.

88
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 3>Just amit the line It doesn't even need to be

89
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 3>there because it plays nothing into this episode. Yeah wow,

90
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 3>this was just it was big old nothing Burger. Don't know.

91
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm waiting for you, father Malone, to tell us how

92
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 3>much you love this one?

93
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, tell us how much you love Marsha cross from

94
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>such great shows as Desperate housew was.

95
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 3>And now I do love Marsha Across she's one at.

96
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Piece A Yeah, I want to hear a word said

97
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>again her marshacross from Melrose Place.

98
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but she's not good in this episode.

99
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 2>I actually think she is. Guess what, guys, I fucking

100
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>this episode? How about wow?

101
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy?

102
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>How about that? Okay, listen, let me take it apart

103
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>like you guys were taking it apart because I agree

104
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>with you, Mike. When they said this is nineteen thirty five,

105
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>I was like, it is what what?

106
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>It's the bow tie for me?

107
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Other ridiculous things. This woman breaks her leg while

108
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 2>dancing by herself. She's a vampire? Are they uncoordinated vampires? Also,

109
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>from shot to shot, the episode goes from cinematic descent bound.

110
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand why because some shots look beautiful and

111
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 2>other shots just look like we're standing on a fucking

112
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>community theater. Sat.

113
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 1>No, it's very minimalist. It's very minimalist. That's you're missing

114
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 1>how minimalist it is. It's like that episode of Night Gallery,

115
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>but done shitty. That's the problem. I'm with you, But

116
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I just don't understand how you liked the episode, I guess.

117
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Is the problem You're with me criticizing it Okay, no,

118
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I got that. I got that.

119
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm with I'm but I like I guess I don't

120
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>understand what is the part that appeals to you about

121
00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the episode.

122
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 2>I liked it because because maybe for the reason I

123
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>mentioned a little, the bit of kink at the beginning,

124
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>the fact that this wasn't ultimately which if this was

125
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Tails from the Crypt, this was a Tales from the

126
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Crypt episode. By the way, this is a Night Gallery,

127
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>this is vampires. This would be un This would be

128
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>a Crypt episode and.

129
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Poorly interpreted vampires too, just like Tails from the Crypt.

130
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in that case, it would be one or other

131
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 2>of these male vampires resting control from the other. And

132
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>instead what we have here is more of a noir

133
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>thing where we have the girl. But what I would

134
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>have expected from Night Gallery or Tales from the Crypt

135
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>would be that in the end she kills the guy

136
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>too and haha, there's a third guy, or she goes

137
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>off on her own or something like that, and it

138
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>ended up not being that. It ended up being this,

139
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 2>like they wanted to be together. Sometimes guys, that fucking

140
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>does it for me. Sometimes just two people finding themselves

141
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 2>finding each other in an episode like just emmeliately. The

142
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>other problems, Yeah, that we've seen this story one million times,

143
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 2>not a vampire who takes a doctor and makes him

144
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 2>heal his wife and then chains him to the wall.

145
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>But nevertheless, there was so much character and dialogue, and

146
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed all of the character and dialogue in it,

147
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>so I was rating it that way. I do agree, like,

148
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.279
<v Speaker 2>why do you need a fucking doctor at all? It's

149
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 2>a vampire. Just pop her leg back into place and

150
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 2>off we go. Bob's your uncle. Unless they were just

151
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>planning this from the beginning, I don't know. So anyway, overall,

152
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed it. I think others might drop some enjoyment

153
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>from it. I know if you're a fan of physical effects,

154
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 2>like the physical effects guy on Teessima Dark SyES having

155
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>a fucking field day this season. We had that one

156
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>with I'm forgetting her name right now, Carol Cain and

157
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Budcore where it was all popping balloons and everything. Here

158
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 2>now we have harsh Ny are doing all these physical

159
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>effects as a as a vampire. I thought those were

160
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>all disappears. It's hardcore effects there, and the chain fight

161
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 2>is totally ridiculous.

162
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, especially pulling apart those links. I don't

163
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 3>even know how they had the strength to.

164
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Do that, my God, So listen. Ultimately, gentlemen, I agree

165
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>with you. This is a bad episode, but I love it.

166
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 3>I just I can't forgive Harshneier for killing Gandhi. Ever

167
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 3>since then, it's just been like, sorry, dude, Wow, you're

168
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>a bad.

169
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Guy, all right.

170
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Our next episode is The Unhappy Medium. This is season two,

171
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 2>episode twenty, air originally on May the eighteenth, nineteen eighty six.

172
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Written by Edith Swinson, directed my Dusty Nelson. This one

173
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 2>stars Connie Stevens, Carolyn Clark or, Richard Coleman, and Peter Miller.

174
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 2>This is about the children of the family of a

175
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 2>recently deceased televangelist who have gathered to divide his fortune

176
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>though their benefactor and might not be done with this world.

177
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>What do you think of this one, Mike.

178
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy, Yeah. Chris said, we're betting a thousand here,

179
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 3>and I tend to agree. We're in a room and

180
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 3>then we're in hell, and we're possessed. Sometimes the devil's

181
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 3>coming for you. We've seen this play out, not this

182
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 3>whole devil thing, but like the greedy relatives at the

183
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 3>will reading, and then something bad is supposed to happen

184
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 3>to the worst of the bad relatives, but does anything

185
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 3>happen to Connie Stevens. At the end of this one,

186
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 3>she freeze pray.

187
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think the implication is that she's about to

188
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 2>be dragged off to hell as well. Oh, okay, dragged.

189
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Me to hell. Yeah, but it took a long time

190
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 3>to get there. It took a long time. Yeah, I couldn't.

191
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I also had trouble just understanding some of the relationships,

192
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 3>like the family stuff. And then yeah, pass.

193
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Circle takes the square. Yes, I like the idea. I

194
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 1>like where they were going. I wish that to Mike's point,

195
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 1>I wish that they're wes had been clear or defined,

196
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 1>because I think that would have helped the episode. I

197
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>do think also maybe casting a woman who's also not

198
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 1>You've got blonde woman, brown headed guy. I don't know.

199
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 1>The two blonde women are indistinguishable from one another at

200
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>times in what they're both doing because neither one of

201
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>them seems great. All of these characters are all terrible,

202
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and so they're all getting their just desserts, which I like.

203
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind terrible people, terrible things happening to terrible

204
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 1>people is not something I dislike. Go watch Game of Thrones,

205
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 1>House of the Dragon, that's literally that show in a nutshell.

206
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Bad Things happening to bad people, that is that show.

207
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And Tales from the Dark Side, Tales from the Crypt,

208
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Night Gallery, those are all shows that share that kind

209
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>of DNA of being mean to people that deserve to

210
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>be mean to. And I just I feel like this

211
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>episode called its Punches a little bit. I feel like

212
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>we just see the concept of hell we are hell

213
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.759
<v Speaker 1>watching them. We don't see anything, which is so fucking cheap.

214
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But that's because it's a cheapness thing, which is fine. Again,

215
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not complaining about the cheapness of the show. I

216
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.759
<v Speaker 1>understand having a budget. I'm just saying, don't make it

217
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>so goddamn abvious because you did it like three times.

218
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But again, at the end of the day, I like

219
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the setup the executions a little flawed, But I like

220
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 1>the setup of this episode a lot more than I

221
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 1>like the setup and execution of the last episode. But

222
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you bought them alone.

223
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it punked out. I think exactly what you're saying,

224
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.759
<v Speaker 2>pulling its punches, My god, this is a night Gallery episode.

225
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be surprised to see if Ron Serling wrote

226
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>this episode. Nobody gets punished at the end of the

227
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>it implies that Connie Stevens will get hers, but not even.

228
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>And the fact is the antagonist of the episode, the televangelist,

229
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>who has been sucked off to hell, is still making

230
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 2>an appearance. So is he even being punished. I don't know.

231
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Farley Farley Flavors. I will say that I thought of

232
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>that the.

233
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Whole goddamn Sorry.

234
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Flavors, Baby fabulous fast food. Peter Miller, who plays Farley

235
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>in the episode, when he becomes a disembodied voice, he

236
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 2>sounded uncannily like John asked.

237
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess I can hear that it was.

238
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I know because I've had I had to watch this

239
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.919
<v Speaker 2>episode any number of times, and there were a couple

240
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>of times where I couldn't bear to watch it and

241
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 2>it was just on and I swear to god, it

242
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>sounded like Gomes. Maybe that's cementing the night gallery of

243
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>it all. This is an episode about three relatives of televangelists.

244
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Now I will applaud that in nineteen eighty five eighty

245
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>six that they were taking on televangelism like the people

246
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 2>hadn't really started taking them down yet, but this was

247
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 2>the one of the first salvos I thought, so Tammy

248
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>fabe good for them about that. There was a movie

249
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>came out around the same time called Past the MMO

250
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>with Bill Paxton when Tim Curry is televangelists. Great anyway,

251
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 2>I liked the idea of taking that organization down. But

252
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 2>the three lead characters are fucking dunes man. We've got

253
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the basically the Tammy Fay character, who is the lead

254
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 2>character's sister and her daughter. Her daughter is a liberal

255
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 2>who has she's so left leaning she wants to get

256
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>all the money and just donate it to charity. And

257
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 2>then we have the guy's Farley's protege, who is who

258
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 2>wants to take over the ministry like that's his thing,

259
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>but then come to find out that he and the

260
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 2>daughter had a relationship beforehand. This is a very complicated

261
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.679
<v Speaker 2>episode for twenty two.

262
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Fuck it is, yes, it sure is.

263
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it had a relationship beforehand which didn't work out.

264
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 2>But it turns out he only got into the ministry

265
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.200
<v Speaker 2>to make money so he could impress her. So we're

266
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>supposed to buy this fucking bullshit romance, right, because that's

267
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>where we're going to end up, because this is somehow

268
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>not a Towns from the fucking dark Side episode. Nevertheless,

269
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>this guy has been swindling people out of their fucking

270
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>money for this organization this whole time, and she's like

271
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the liberal peacenick running around with the missions and stuff.

272
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 2>Fuck both of them. She's a I don't know. I

273
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 2>love that, by the way, that this guy, who is

274
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>as bad as Farley's far as I'm concerned, like moralizes

275
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 2>to Connie Stevens, you just want the money. You just

276
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 2>here for the money. It's like you just gave us

277
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>a speech where you said you only took this job

278
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>for the money. Anyway, I know, I'm like, I'm picking

279
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.080
<v Speaker 2>apart things that I shouldn't just because it's a fucking

280
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.879
<v Speaker 2>terrible episode overall. But I had to watch the seven times.

281
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>So here's my thing.

282
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Edith Swinson wrote three of the last four episodes of

283
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.279
<v Speaker 1>this season, and she sure did.

284
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.200
<v Speaker 2>There may be a reason they're all at the back

285
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>end of the season. Carolyn Clark very monotone as an actress.

286
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Right after she gets possessed A Farley was here. I

287
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 2>can feel him.

288
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Not a single not a single Edith Swinson episode Outside

289
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 1>of the Chess.

290
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:49.279
<v Speaker 2>So y'all know I told you before. Season three contains

291
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>my favorite episode of Telles of the Dark Sides.

292
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm talking about just season two. I can't speak

293
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to season one or season three. I'm just saying season two,

294
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>why do we need a third if they're all going

295
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to be terrible? Why not just have two? And then

296
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you've made simpler. Why have the Tammy Fay character. Just

297
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>have these two going back and forth. They're diametrically opposed enough.

298
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>You don't need a third person in there to just

299
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>add into the pile of asshole.

300
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.519
<v Speaker 3>It was not good. I thought that the actress did

301
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 3>a good job when it came to lip syncing, but yeah,

302
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 3>the rest of her performance, I was like, okay, yeah,

303
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 3>it was just it was frustrating. It was just frustrating.

304
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 2>I thought the sound designed for Hell was really good

305
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>if we weren't going to get to see hell. But

306
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.639
<v Speaker 2>I thought it sounded really Then she goes to another

307
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.879
<v Speaker 2>door and opens it. It's all laughter, and that's meant

308
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.799
<v Speaker 2>to represent Heaven. So we discover that our characters are

309
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 2>three characters now trapped in this limbo literally between Heaven

310
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and hell, one door to one and one door to another.

311
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Go to heaven?

312
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, what the fuck are you doing? This is

313
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a binary fucking choice, yo, yo's what are you stupid?

314
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Come on?

315
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 2>No, I want to wait around and hope I go

316
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>back to Earth, or I could step into literal heaven.

317
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Just go Dante's Dante says no. Dante says, before one

318
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 1>goes up, one must go down. That's what Virgil said.

319
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>This episode almost made me hate creep show lighting with

320
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>their very clumsy red and blue light on something good.

321
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>What a stylistic choice, huh, echoing such better things.

322
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>It basically made her look shiny and purple instead of

323
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.519
<v Speaker 2>this duality within her.

324
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.640
<v Speaker 3>And I loved Connie Stevens and was super happy when

325
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.920
<v Speaker 3>she showed up in here. I was like, oh, cool, great,

326
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.759
<v Speaker 3>And when she starts to get unhinged, I was like, okay, yeah,

327
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 3>go for it, but just did not pay off.

328
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I like that when we meet her, they're showing us

329
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 2>a bit of the program, the television program that the

330
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.440
<v Speaker 2>ministry has been putting on, and they do her in

331
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>close up and she says, I have the power, just

332
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 2>like a home. The last line that both our hero

333
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 2>or heroin and the villain both throw at Connie or

334
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 2>ain't it wondrous? As if that's like her catchphrase or something,

335
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 2>And that was the first I heard of it. What

336
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.960
<v Speaker 2>was that about? They bothered to put the third character in.

337
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>They gave her a scene where she gets to freak

338
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>out in all, but they don't even lay her in

339
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>like that. Maybe that's her catchphrase, that's her tammy fay whatever.

340
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know this episode, man, oh boy.

341
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>They like I said, I think their heart was in

342
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 1>the right place, but I'm not sure that they I

343
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're competent enough to land this plane because

344
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.839
<v Speaker 1>they worked themselves right into a corner and then they

345
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>were just like, it's fine, it's fine, we just worked

346
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 1>ourselves and look, Hell, Hell got all of them. It's like, oh, well,

347
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>why what if they had a choice, why did they

348
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.799
<v Speaker 1>choose anything other than heaven? You've made this quite possibly

349
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the stupidest episode of this fucking show that I can't

350
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.160
<v Speaker 1>understand why you unless there was a trick involved, which

351
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 1>they never even said, no one in the right mind

352
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 1>would be like I'm going to Hell just because I can.

353
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It makes no fucking sense zero.

354
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>To be fair, they do go back to Earth. The

355
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.240
<v Speaker 2>two lead characters walk off to Earth. But I hate

356
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 2>them and I don't want them to have that money,

357
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.119
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want them to give it a charity.

358
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I want Connie Stevens to have it, and I wanted

359
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to get that ministry fifteen percent of nothing. She says,

360
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.400
<v Speaker 2>what are you talking about? That ministry? We must be

361
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 2>raking in the bucks. Everyone wants to take it over

362
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.880
<v Speaker 2>fifteen percent? Yeah, fucking good, go retire. What are you

363
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.559
<v Speaker 2>talking about?

364
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 1>She just wants to go to hell on the med

365
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that choice, and she's freeze framed.

366
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Like a seventies. On the next episode of Midnight Viewing,

367
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>we'll be taking a look at the last two episodes

368
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of season two. Those are Fears Floating and The Cassavin Curse.

381
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 3>about Live and Let Die, which was a lot of

382
00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.440
<v Speaker 3>fun back when I still was okay with Roger Moore

383
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 3>as James Bond. But the bloom is off the rose.

384
