Speaker 1: Way wait.
Speaker 2: A sad.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to midnight Viewing, where this season we're taking
Speaker 1: a look at George Ramiro's nineteen eighties television series Tales
Speaker 1: from the Dark Side. Sharing the midnight view with me
Speaker 1: are the Culture Cast Chris Statue.
Speaker 2: I have no strings to hold me?
Speaker 1: Also joining us as always the projection booths Mike White.
Speaker 3: I don't have any strings to bet, but I will
Speaker 3: bet two bandages.
Speaker 1: Tonight we are taking a look at two more episodes
Speaker 1: from season four, the final season of Tales from the
Speaker 1: Dark Side. Of those are No Strings and the Grave
Speaker 1: Robber No Strings. Season four, episode five, originally aired on
Speaker 1: October the twenty fifth, nineteen eighty seven. It's their Halloween episode,
Speaker 1: written and directed by David O'Dell, starring TJ. Castro Novo.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about him in a second Barry Dennin,
Speaker 1: Cameron Millser, and Bradley Fisher here listed as Brad Fisher,
Speaker 1: friend of the podcast Brad Fisher. This is his second
Speaker 1: appearance on the show. If you remember back in season one,
Speaker 1: the Keenan Winn episode where the Devil came to take him,
Speaker 1: he was the devil there. He is TJ. Castronova's right
Speaker 1: hand man here, who's having the affair with his wife.
Speaker 1: This is the story of a life size marionette puppeteer
Speaker 1: who is rousted in the night for a command performance
Speaker 1: for a newly crowned mafia boss. What did you think
Speaker 1: of this one, Mike?
Speaker 3: You know, for all the praise of the last couple
Speaker 3: episodes we talked about on our previous episode, ooh, boy
Speaker 3: o boy o boy, you know how fast those were,
Speaker 3: this one was such a slog for me and I
Speaker 3: just could see so many things coming from so far away.
Speaker 3: I was very happy to see Barry Dennon. I think
Speaker 3: he's great in things like the Shining He plays Patches,
Speaker 3: Violot and Jesus for a superstar, very distinctive face. Very
Speaker 3: happy to see him. But it just I killed a guy. Now.
Speaker 3: I want you to make him a big puppet so
Speaker 3: you can make him apologize and kiss my ass as
Speaker 3: this puppet. No, just what are you doing? This is
Speaker 3: so silly, so stupid. I don't know who talk me
Speaker 3: out of it, fellas, Chris, What did you think I liked?
Speaker 2: How stupid it was? I don't know. Father. To quote
Speaker 2: the ever immortal Christian Bale, backed me up on this one,
Speaker 2: Father Millon. This is a this is a Tales from
Speaker 2: the Crypt episode masquerading is the Tales from the Dark
Speaker 2: Side of This is like the some whacked out season
Speaker 2: eight concept of Tales from the Crypt. Like it's it's strange.
Speaker 2: There's probably there was something. I know there were puppet
Speaker 2: adjacent or puppet episodes of Tales from the Crypt. I
Speaker 2: don't think they ever had this exact conceit, but there
Speaker 2: were people being controlled by puppets. There were people controlling puppets.
Speaker 2: There were puppets on people's hands. I believe is Don
Speaker 2: Rickles had his like twin brother on his hand at
Speaker 2: one point. So puppets are nothing new to a. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I enjoyed how kind of bizarre and strange this was.
Speaker 2: I bought into it, and I enjoyed it. Andry Dennan,
Speaker 2: I love Barry Dennon. He's here such a strange role
Speaker 2: to have him play just I don't know, it was fun.
Speaker 2: Follow one. What did you think?
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Harley Quinn is the last gasp of
Speaker 1: the gun Mall as a character. If I never see
Speaker 1: the fucking gangster Mall character ever, this was it. I
Speaker 1: don't this. This episode broke me. This is supposed to
Speaker 1: take place in modern America in nineteen eighty seven, and
Speaker 1: it's still.
Speaker 2: The oh g blah blah.
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? What are you doing? And
Speaker 1: by the way, what are you doing? TJ Castnova. TJ
Speaker 1: Castnova is effectively the showrunner of telst The Dark Side,
Speaker 1: has been since the beginning, and he's also on the
Speaker 1: other show I do with HP Night, mister Walters. He's
Speaker 1: a frequent actor on Taxi. He was for all five
Speaker 1: seasons of that show. He ran the bar Marios that
Speaker 1: they all go to. And I can see, Okay, here's
Speaker 1: the thing. It's season four. They know this is it.
Speaker 1: They know this is their final season. So TJ Castronova's like, well,
Speaker 1: fuck it. I'm an actor. I'm going to give myself
Speaker 1: an episode here and it's the final season. What are
Speaker 1: they gonna do? Throw us off the air? Let's do
Speaker 1: this one in nineteen eighty seven, Sunday Night at seven.
Speaker 1: This is a fucked premise to be watching. I remember
Speaker 1: seeing it, and I look, I was no slouch in
Speaker 1: Gore and Whatever by nineteen eighty fourteen years old. By then,
Speaker 1: I was I was steeped in it. Man, But even
Speaker 1: this was a bit much like the idea of the
Speaker 1: not so much once the corpse is being pumpeteered, but
Speaker 1: when Brad Fisher is putting in the hooks and the
Speaker 1: sound effects and the why is this taking so long?
Speaker 1: I don't know. They keep slipping out all of that business.
Speaker 1: Really grossed me out and continue to gross me out
Speaker 1: even on the rewatch. Honestly, ex use.
Speaker 2: The bullet holes. What do you do?
Speaker 1: Just use the bullets? Okay, Look, there's a lot to
Speaker 1: recommend this episode. Honestly, it's fun.
Speaker 2: It's a fun episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with both of you. I do think
Speaker 1: it's way over long. I think it lies way too
Speaker 1: much on tired old conventions. This guy, I don't know,
Speaker 1: David O'Dell, who wrote and directed it, I don't know who.
Speaker 1: He was obviously friends with t J Castnova or something,
Speaker 1: but it's it is not well written, and they're just
Speaker 1: little things that could have made it better. Look, not
Speaker 1: only do we get the gun mole, but we got
Speaker 1: there like the rods, what are you gonna do with them?
Speaker 2: And David O'Dell directed Martians Go Home? So come on,
Speaker 2: he knows, he knows his tired conventions.
Speaker 1: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: His puppets. He were for the Muppets for a long
Speaker 3: time and wrote the Dark Crystal Father Malone.
Speaker 2: The tired conventions are just there.
Speaker 1: Replete, okay. But here's the thing, all right, so now
Speaker 1: he now we know that he has this sort of
Speaker 1: now he has this background in puppeteering, right, Oh, why
Speaker 1: why isn't it more hands like why make it a
Speaker 1: marion at all? Why not make it like a Waldough thing,
Speaker 1: like a one for one thing where it's like directly
Speaker 1: connected to you. The setup here is you're behind a
Speaker 1: curtain and you're attached to wire that are attached to
Speaker 1: the corpse, and Barry Dennin is acting like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is so disgusting, I can't go through with this. But
Speaker 1: you don't know what's happened. You're not see. If it
Speaker 1: was like you're in a black outfit and the corpse
Speaker 1: is attached to you and your cup, that would have
Speaker 1: been something that would have been really horrifying. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. It wasn't direct enough. There was just a
Speaker 1: level of remove that it made it queasy in theory only.
Speaker 1: Why not just grab this guy while he's alive and
Speaker 1: make him do all these things? What the fuck is
Speaker 1: happening exactly?
Speaker 3: That's what I kept asking. I was like, did you
Speaker 3: shoot him nineteen times? Accidentally?
Speaker 2: Yeah, desecration of a corpse is in in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like that fat Polly was super thin,
Speaker 1: and I like the axial marionette pumpet that the guy
Speaker 1: uses had this like weirdo little orphan any head on
Speaker 1: this two stringy bt.
Speaker 2: Look like carrot top.
Speaker 1: It was so weird. What this guy's apparently renowned, Like
Speaker 1: he's got his own show down at the line see
Speaker 1: him and everything? Is it a horror show? Because I
Speaker 1: can't imagine kids doing anything but screaming through his act.
Speaker 2: It reminded me of that DELIJAHC. Scugs Head from Freaked,
Speaker 2: the one with the eyeballs that come out. Yeah, Rick
Speaker 2: de Grin, what the fuck? Yeah? What? What child is
Speaker 2: gonna want to see this and go, Yeah, this is
Speaker 2: what I want to sit around for an hour and watch.
Speaker 2: Run Jesus.
Speaker 1: You know how we know their mafia because there's a
Speaker 1: giant curt that says olive oil on it.
Speaker 2: Eighty seven was not a time for subtlety.
Speaker 1: Nevertheless, as much as I'm making fun of it. I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. This is a batshit crazy one and
Speaker 1: the fact that it got on the air is baffling
Speaker 1: to me. And hey, they got a fucking puppet corpse
Speaker 1: on the air, good for them.
Speaker 2: On primetime TV.
Speaker 1: Cheers.
Speaker 3: I could see this giving me Nightmarre said, I seen
Speaker 3: it at that tender young age.
Speaker 1: So there we go.
Speaker 2: It's a win.
Speaker 1: Let's move on before we just add different. The next
Speaker 1: episode is called The Grave Robber is the season four
Speaker 1: episode six, aired originally on November the first, nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1: This is written by Harvey Jacobs and Don Wallner from
Speaker 1: a story by Harvey Jacobs and directed by Jeff Schiro.
Speaker 1: This one stars Arnold Stang, Polly Draper, Darren Kelly and
Speaker 1: Ed Covin's it is a pair of Egyptologists. To me,
Speaker 1: it's a somebody take it.
Speaker 2: I don't. It's a blackout sketch that listen blown up
Speaker 2: to twenty two minutes. Hey no, it's not. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you're right, you're right. It's a Playboy one panel on
Speaker 2: in a fucking Playboy.
Speaker 1: Man, maybe a full page, maybe a full page, like
Speaker 1: a whole gayandul.
Speaker 2: But pal out Jappie for Mad Magazine.
Speaker 1: Right, but it is definitely not a blackout sketch. It's
Speaker 1: not an image and a joke. It gets us there.
Speaker 1: There is a game that gets involved, there's training of
Speaker 1: clothing and soft you know what. Here, I'll say this
Speaker 1: about the episode. The makeup is really good. And what
Speaker 1: we've said this in previous seasons. Shooting this in New York,
Speaker 1: you had access to these old, fucking actors who are
Speaker 1: fucking troopers, right. The fact that Arnold Stang at his
Speaker 1: age allowed that like basically full body makeup to make
Speaker 1: him look as and it looked and it looks great.
Speaker 1: That to me consistently amazes me that these acts like
Speaker 1: that had to be the most uncomfortable for that man
Speaker 1: at this age, but he fucking did it because he's
Speaker 1: a fucking.
Speaker 3: Proa Arnold's Stang man. I mean, he is the best
Speaker 3: part of Hercules in New York, which isn't saying a
Speaker 3: whole lot, but he's just oh, just that voice that
Speaker 3: he has is so great. He just always seemed like
Speaker 3: such a sad sack, Like it felt like Wally Cox
Speaker 3: could beat this guy up in a fight, you know,
Speaker 3: and just some of the stuff that he was in
Speaker 3: that I mostly remember him from like Scudoo or oh god,
Speaker 3: I already mentioned Hercules in New York, but just oh gosh,
Speaker 3: he just would show up in so many things, and
Speaker 3: then he knew that he had a cartoon voice, and
Speaker 3: he would do so many cartoon shows and just little
Speaker 3: appearances and stuff. And yeah, I'm just so surprised, Chris
Speaker 3: that we didn't see him on Barney Miller. He seems
Speaker 3: like he would have been primed.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, or on Rankin either because again, to be fair,
Speaker 2: he's also the voice of top Cat, the top hat
Speaker 2: where or the I guess, not really a top hat.
Speaker 2: It's more of like a pork pie hat wearing homeless cat, because.
Speaker 1: Well all the cats are homeless. And he's what's great
Speaker 1: is he's doing it. He's doing an impression of Phil Silvers,
Speaker 1: who also has a super distinctive voice. So it's one
Speaker 1: super distinctive voice human doing another.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's great, and that's no, like you said, Michael,
Speaker 2: he had a cartoon voice and he knew it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so good. And yeah, it's a stupid, stupid episode,
Speaker 3: but I really liked it. And all right, I'm going
Speaker 3: to say this and I probably just said this a
Speaker 3: few weeks ago. There's the Egypt one. We were talking
Speaker 3: about mummies recently, and there's the Egypt one with Frisian Slater.
Speaker 3: Is that in the tail from the Dark Side movie?
Speaker 1: Yes? No, A lot two four nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so this reminded me a little bit of that.
Speaker 3: But this is obviously just done completely for laughs, laffs,
Speaker 3: and I I was kind of there for it. It
Speaker 3: was so silly and so stupid, and especially when they're
Speaker 3: trying to pull the wool or the bandages over this
Speaker 3: guy's eyes and oh no, no, this is a better
Speaker 3: hand and lying tom cheating and they can't even cheat
Speaker 3: well enough. Like then he suddenly learns all the rules
Speaker 3: of poker because he astro projects to Vegas and takes
Speaker 3: all the knowledge of this professional gambler. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is so silly, but I'm so here for it,
Speaker 3: and I loved how cartoonish of it everybody was acting.
Speaker 3: Maybe I was just in the right mood because I
Speaker 3: could see myself hating this, but I really had a
Speaker 3: fun time, and I think it so lands on the
Speaker 3: shoulders of Arnold Stang.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised, did you not watch this episode in the
Speaker 2: last episode at the same time, because they're both just
Speaker 2: as goofy as one another. I'm kind of surprised you
Speaker 2: didn't enjoy the last episode as much. I don't know,
Speaker 2: Like this episode is, like you said, like, this episode
Speaker 2: is just as this one is way more humorous.
Speaker 1: This is like it's going to make a gag fest,
Speaker 1: not mean spirited. The last one is mean spirit you have.
Speaker 1: I think you need to be more in the mood
Speaker 1: for the last one to enjoy it than you would
Speaker 1: this one. This one is at least boisterous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that Darren Kelly's characters, I don't know
Speaker 2: the fate that he has at the end, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It seems pretty it's horrible. It's not great, Like it's
Speaker 2: pretty bad. It's worse than what happens in the grave
Speaker 2: or No Strings, because at least in no Strings they're dead.
Speaker 2: And this it's like, now you just enjoy being in
Speaker 2: hell essentially as a guardian of the tomb of Akinatin
Speaker 2: or yes something, I'm in ho tepe of one of them.
Speaker 2: That's a terrible fate. That's a fate worse than dead.
Speaker 2: I'd rather just be dead.
Speaker 1: Mike since you brought up the Townsman nark Side movie.
Speaker 1: Now it does feel loud that, like the two characters,
Speaker 1: that thing is a three character thing, and and it's
Speaker 1: Steve Bushemy. Well it's four I guess, so it's Steve Amy,
Speaker 1: Christian Slater, and then Christian Slater's sister and her boyfriend.
Speaker 1: If you took the sister and the boyfriend character and
Speaker 1: pulled them directly out and put them in here, it's
Speaker 1: almost exact like those are the same kind. That's my
Speaker 1: mind is a little bit blown actually that like how
Speaker 1: how close those characters are in both scenarios. That's weird.
Speaker 2: But did they play strip poker in that one.
Speaker 1: No, but they're just as vapid and yuppie like and
Speaker 1: obsessed with sort of Egyptian things, and it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's weird.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm glad I wasn't completely off base thinking of
Speaker 3: that story.
Speaker 1: No, it's right in there. Yeah, I don't know. This
Speaker 1: is this one passes the time. I guess this as
Speaker 1: far as comedy episodes go, this it's not. It didn't.
Speaker 1: It was never insulting. It didn't feel like a blackout
Speaker 1: sketch where it was just like, oh, okay, yeah, you
Speaker 1: didn't have enough remouth. We got it, Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 2: I will say though, all of these Egypt or Egypt
Speaker 2: to Jason episodes all do have the same stink to them.
Speaker 2: They all got the same funky stank, the stank of
Speaker 2: a tomb closed for far too long, like they're rarely
Speaker 2: are we outside of a tomb, or if we are,
Speaker 2: we're in a room with a sarcophagus. And that's it,
Speaker 2: like rooms with sarcophagus or tombs, and that's and like
Speaker 2: the and I don't know, like half of these or
Speaker 2: at least half of these, maybe more have been like
Speaker 2: comedic as well, which is again, can we not? We
Speaker 2: can't do because mummies aren't scary. They're not like mummies
Speaker 2: aren't scary? Is that the thing? Because mummies are scary.
Speaker 1: Well, they would be on tail some dark site. Once
Speaker 1: that fucking movie came out. That's that's probably my favorite
Speaker 1: mummy of all time is the one in that movie.
Speaker 3: Oh I don't know, Arnold does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to say, is my I know, but
Speaker 1: you guys are converts to that movie and I am
Speaker 1: not converts.
Speaker 2: I saw that movie. I thowt movie. I was nine
Speaker 2: years old in the theaters.
Speaker 1: You guys are acolytes to that film. I am not.
Speaker 2: I see no problem with that.
Speaker 1: I like the Mummy to be scary.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, But you know what, I'll also.
Speaker 1: So you don't know, you don't because you like an
Speaker 1: action movie the best.
Speaker 2: But I was going to say, to be fair, I
Speaker 2: will if I can't get a scary Mummy movie, at
Speaker 2: least can I get a Mummy movie that's fun?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Fair?
Speaker 2: No, I mean that's fair. I mean, look to be fair,
Speaker 2: Like a scary Mummy thing is not something I've seen
Speaker 2: a whole lot of. So I would like for someone
Speaker 2: to do the like definitive scary keep.
Speaker 1: Waiting and they making it and they just mean making
Speaker 1: action movies.
Speaker 2: And I I'm not disagreeing with you, like I like
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety nine Mummy, But at the same time,
Speaker 2: who wouldn't want someone to take the concept of a
Speaker 2: mummy and like really do something with it, Like I'm.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, I always go back to the
Speaker 3: Karloff one. I think that's genuinely still scary, and the
Speaker 3: Hammer one I thought was pretty darn good as well.
Speaker 1: The Hammer one more than the Karloff one. I think
Speaker 1: because the Karloff one, if you go back and watch it,
Speaker 1: the Mummy's in it for one scene. It's basically Carloff,
Speaker 1: just as that as the other care to skulking around
Speaker 1: the entire time, I'm looking for a bandaged man coming
Speaker 1: out of the night and ripping your spine out. Come on.
Speaker 3: Now, I guess I have a soft spot for the
Speaker 3: Karlof one because that's where the whole do you have
Speaker 3: to go around opening graves to find girlfriends line comes from.
Speaker 3: And whenever I hear.
Speaker 1: That it's a great movie, no question, it's a great movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for scary Mummy. I think that the Christopher Lee one
Speaker 1: is the actually really scary one.
Speaker 2: Can we also keep if we do a scary Mummy thing,
Speaker 2: can it not be like the Mummy is a love
Speaker 2: sick creature looking for his mate, Like yeah, you drop
Speaker 2: that too, because like another another Mummy ism that again,
Speaker 2: like I served its purpose, but it is like a
Speaker 2: little pass a. Now we have plenty of films where
Speaker 2: characters don't have romantic interest at all, So I think
Speaker 2: maybe it's time now to just do a Mummy movie
Speaker 2: that's scary with not oh he's trying to get his
Speaker 2: lover back from the grave, or it's that's been like
Speaker 2: the same fucking tune that they've played. Even in these
Speaker 2: even in these like anthology shows, there's like the love
Speaker 2: Lorne's Mummy, Like, why is this the thing?
Speaker 1: Here's the story for the next Mummy movie. Hey, don't
Speaker 1: open that. That will be fine.
Speaker 2: There we go again. Nineteen ninety nine Mummy takes a turn.
Speaker 2: It's scary for a moment, but then it takes a turn.
Speaker 2: It becomes a full on action movie. That's fine. There
Speaker 2: is a version of that nineteen ninety nine Mummy movie
Speaker 2: that's just a scary movie, but I don't think it
Speaker 2: is as nearly as successful as the movie that ends
Speaker 2: up coming out. But I would kill for a scary
Speaker 2: Mummy anything, or Mummy anything that's not that Tom Cruise thing.
Speaker 3: Oo oh jesus. Yeah, there was a time, I think
Speaker 3: it's just last year of the year before, where I
Speaker 3: got onto a Mummy kick and I watched all the ones,
Speaker 3: all the universal Mummy movies that aren't just the Karloff ones. Yes,
Speaker 3: some interesting things. It goes and the Mummy's Tomb, the
Speaker 3: Mummies Ghost, the Mummies Curse, and some of those. There
Speaker 3: was one of them where I was just like, oh,
Speaker 3: I've seen these shots before. You are just recycling so
Speaker 3: much of this mummy footage and you could tell the
Speaker 3: heights would change and stuff. I'm like, Okay, I guess
Speaker 3: it really doesn't matter who you put in those wraps,
Speaker 3: but maybe keep them the same height.
Speaker 1: The second Doctor Phime's movie is, while technically not a
Speaker 1: mummy movie, is an egypt movie and it's just weird
Speaker 1: enough to slot in there and satisfy my my mummy yen.
Speaker 1: But I can't think of the last good scary mummy
Speaker 1: movie honestly, Like I agree with you. I think it's
Speaker 1: it's probably Christopher Lee in the sixties.
Speaker 2: And you know who I would tap, Somebody like Germo
Speaker 2: del Toro.
Speaker 1: He has you know, I wouldn't you know what he
Speaker 1: can That's the short answer. Guy, Let's see Frankenstein before
Speaker 1: we give him every.
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. It would need to be somebody
Speaker 2: who has a reverence for that or or not to
Speaker 2: be fair. Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3: Get Josh to do it fantastic right now? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't think he's too busy.
Speaker 2: He's been busy for about damn near a decade now.
Speaker 1: But like those kids, those two guys are from Australia
Speaker 1: who did the Talk to Me movie? Oh oh yeah,
Speaker 1: give them the Mummy movie. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like when with you, Yeah, I don't even like it
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be the Mummy, just needs to be
Speaker 2: a Mummy.
Speaker 1: Right Hey here, guys, give us your version of the Mummy.
Speaker 1: Holy fuck, because that's what we need. The fact that
Speaker 1: we just kind of keep telling the fucking nineteen twenties
Speaker 1: version of the Mummy. This is what's scaring us, is it?
Speaker 1: Is there not some modern interpretation of this, Come on, man,
Speaker 1: and not the fucking howling wind down the fucking streets
Speaker 1: or the fucking Beastie and the okay anyway, but you.
Speaker 2: Could do but you could do the nineteen twenties Mummy scary,
Speaker 2: Like you could do it that scary. You might get
Speaker 2: like a period piece scary. And it could be scary
Speaker 2: as fuck too as a period piece, because you could
Speaker 2: have the Mummy coming out of the night and taking
Speaker 2: people like again, like you could do what you could
Speaker 2: go all kinds of directions with it, or you could
Speaker 2: set it in modern time. But like, just don't do
Speaker 2: the same like putsy half in, half out comedy sort of,
Speaker 2: this is way comedy obviously, like this is strip poker
Speaker 2: with a mummy, Like there you go, like, but they're
Speaker 2: like some of the other ones. I want a mummy
Speaker 2: half in, half out.
Speaker 1: I want a mummy that never turns human. I want
Speaker 1: a mummy that is just a delegon. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because they want an actor and they want a sexy thing.
Speaker 2: Well, it's because there's the love interest. Because again the
Speaker 2: love interest has to kiss the mummy.
Speaker 1: Fuck all that. Let's just have a fucking sentinel bent
Speaker 1: on vengeance. That's it.
Speaker 2: Yeeha, I'm with you. Yeah, well, mummies are like low
Speaker 2: mummies are low key. I don't know. Of all the
Speaker 2: universal monsters, the Mummy is the one that I'm just like,
Speaker 2: we what like underrepresented so much?
Speaker 1: Can I just say too that mummies are not germane
Speaker 1: to Egypt. They're in most cultures. You can set the
Speaker 1: Mummy basically fucking anywhere.
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's literally, isn't that. I believe that's the
Speaker 2: joke at the end of the Third Mummy Movies and
Speaker 2: then he went somewhere where there were no mummies. South
Speaker 2: America and it's wan. That's not the cake. Yeah no,
Speaker 2: it's I don't know yet.
Speaker 1: I could have a a Mayan mummy, an Incin mummy.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, nope, it's got to be like the Egyptologists
Speaker 2: with the hat.
Speaker 1: They could these dummies could even fucking structure quietly a
Speaker 1: like franchise of mummy films. Just do it, do it
Speaker 1: without fanfare, Like we're gonna tell a story that takes
Speaker 1: place in South America and now we're also gonna tell
Speaker 1: a story. Oh, by the way, those are connected. Hey,
Speaker 1: a universal shared horror universe dark universe.
Speaker 2: Even one might say.
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, now you have to go to Orlando.
Speaker 1: That's where the dark universe is.
Speaker 2: That's true. Thank god they took that back from themselves.
Speaker 1: By the way, I cannot fucking wait to go there.
Speaker 1: Same likewise, Okay, on that note, on the next episode
Speaker 1: of Midnight Viewing, we're gonna be taking a look at
