Speaker 1: Welcome back midnight viewers to Father Malone's weekly roundup. I'm
Speaker 1: Father Malone and as always here with me. My partner
Speaker 1: in crime is miss Ripley Jean partner in everything. Okay,
Speaker 1: I stand corrected, and I stand here saddened. I don't
Speaker 1: mean to begin the show on a downer, but I
Speaker 1: do want to say something about some recent passings. And
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about Dema. This is a canine
Speaker 1: in Memoriam. Yes, I am tempted to throw that mournful
Speaker 1: Waif song on here as a joke, but there's no
Speaker 1: joking when you lose members of the family fans of
Speaker 1: our show. No Chris Statue, his pup, Nibbler, has passed
Speaker 1: to the great beyond. I had the distinct pleasure of
Speaker 1: hanging out with young Nibbler. He was super cool and irreplaceable,
Speaker 1: as is mister Puggles, my co host on A Little
Speaker 1: Old Lady got mutilated late last night, Paul Waller's longtime
Speaker 1: bestist of friends. Mister Puggles is off to terrify another
Speaker 1: dimension with zoomies and grumbles. I was lucky enough to
Speaker 1: meet him once via zoom but anyone who's listened to
Speaker 1: Paul's show A Year in Horror has definitely heard mention
Speaker 1: of that young gentleman. And all of this is just
Speaker 1: more proof that we live in a horrifying and chaotic
Speaker 1: universe where joy, actual joy, is the rarest commodity in existence.
Speaker 1: I myself have lost a lot of family recently, in
Speaker 1: addition to the human members of my Dwindling clan. Over
Speaker 1: the past few years, I've said goodbye to mister van Go,
Speaker 1: a fine orange tabby that loved to fetch and was
Speaker 1: always deeply embarrassed when I caught him sleeping in my bed.
Speaker 2: Go figure.
Speaker 1: After van we lost Marbles, Oh Marbles. She was a sphinx,
Speaker 1: a mean old sphinx, like a little crone, like a witch,
Speaker 1: and she fucking hated everyone, and she loved me. She
Speaker 1: would dance when she saw me coming, and she had
Speaker 1: the weirdest move. She would stretch and reach up with
Speaker 1: both paws and do this crazy climbing motion on my leg.
Speaker 1: Climb that tree, I'd shout. And then there was Frankenstein.
Speaker 1: Frank was also a sphinx, and with all reference to
Speaker 1: present company, he is the animal that I vibed with
Speaker 1: on a sub atomic level. My introduction to Frankenstein was
Speaker 1: I was sitting outside reading a book, and he kept
Speaker 1: getting closer, sizing me up, and finally I started reading
Speaker 1: to him, and he jumped up next to me and
Speaker 1: stretched out, and that was that we were inseparable. I
Speaker 1: miss him, I miss all of them every day. Maintaining
Speaker 1: any kind of mental balance is difficult at the best
Speaker 1: of times. I can only imagine what Chris and Paul
Speaker 1: are experiencing. My sincere condolences. I am not gonna recover
Speaker 1: when a certain someone kicks off. I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Foxy Brown. If you must know, no
Speaker 1: one is gonna cry when you. I can't even finish
Speaker 1: that fucking sentence. I almost cry trying to think of
Speaker 1: a seg way. Now there is none. Okay, Before we
Speaker 1: get to today's features, I wanted to introduce a new segment,
Speaker 1: a seasonal segment. It is the Halloween time now we're
Speaker 1: counting down the days. As such, it won't just be
Speaker 1: ghosts and goblins that will come scrambling out of the darkness,
Speaker 1: so will the Halloween playlists. And they're all garbage, you
Speaker 1: know they are. So here's our segment. This is Halloween,
Speaker 1: every single playlist is gonna have Monster Mash every single one.
Speaker 1: When people were just making mixtapes, Monster Mash. Every novelty
Speaker 1: vinyl you got around this.
Speaker 3: Time of year.
Speaker 1: Monster Mash good. It's a fucking classic.
Speaker 3: Add it.
Speaker 1: You know Bobby Boris Pickett is from Somerville, Massachusetts. That's
Speaker 1: the same hometown as my late wife. Add the song
Speaker 1: I don't care if I just guilted you. If a
Speaker 1: widower says, add Monster Mash, you add Monster Mash. Ghostbusters
Speaker 1: is acceptable, but only just and that's only if it's
Speaker 1: the Ray Parker original. If you're getting it from one
Speaker 1: of those bullshit knockoff artists, cover the Halloween hit CDs,
Speaker 1: Your Way Out of Line, Thriller of course, Vincent Price,
Speaker 1: and Thoughts of Zombies. Add it the Halloween theme not
Speaker 1: a novelty song, but it's perfect. Add all the tracks
Speaker 1: from that soundtrack. That's what the randomizer is for. In
Speaker 1: between Ghostbusters and Monster Mash, you should hear the tense
Speaker 1: sounds of Lorie Strode realizing she's being followed. In fact,
Speaker 1: any torture's horror theme is welcome. Elm Street tales from
Speaker 1: the crypt Hell Raiser. All right back to the songs
Speaker 1: Adam's family theme. Of course, unless there's a hammer involved.
Speaker 1: Anything from Rocky Horror is acceptable. Don't Fear the Reaper.
Speaker 1: Don't add this song. I get it. It's about suicide.
Speaker 1: It's featured perfectly in the opening credits for the original
Speaker 1: mini series of Stephen King's The Stand. It is, in fact,
Speaker 1: the only good part of that entire mini series. And
Speaker 1: it's in John Carpenter's Halloween, and it's tired, and all
Speaker 1: anyone is gonna think about is Will Ferrell's gut rejected
Speaker 1: Werewolves of London. Yes, bad Moon Arising, Yes, hungry like
Speaker 1: the Wolf. No, I've heard it done before.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't add songs that only have the most vague of connections,
Speaker 1: just the title Your Bats out of Hell by Meat Loaf,
Speaker 1: Your Devil Inside by Inexcesses, Your Abracadabras by Your Steve
Speaker 1: Miller's ghost Town by the Specials gets a Pass. I
Speaker 1: know it's about nightclubs getting shut down due to violence,
Speaker 1: but I don't care. It's atmospheric as fuck. Not getting
Speaker 1: the pass though. Zombie by the Cranberrys. They're not talking
Speaker 1: about Daryl Dixon, They're not talking about Barbara at the
Speaker 1: beginning of Night of the Living Dead, they're talking about
Speaker 1: Northern Irish bloodshed? Did you hear about that car bomb?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: And would you save me a snickers? There are songs
Speaker 1: that seem like they have obvious connections but have none.
Speaker 1: Clap for the Wolfman I hear a lot. That's a
Speaker 1: song about Wolfman Jack, who does have ties to the holiday,
Speaker 1: but it's also a song about getting your song on
Speaker 1: DJ Wolfman Jack's radio show.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 1: I know you're all gonna add googu Muck, and that's great.
Speaker 1: The Cramps is my favorite band of all time, and
Speaker 1: anything to get their sound out there is a bonus
Speaker 1: or a virus. But I'd like to hope you're adding
Speaker 1: it because it appeared on the soundtrack to Texas Chainsaw
Speaker 1: Massacre two, and not because of that musical number in Wednesday. Also,
Speaker 1: listen to me closely. You already heard a snippet of
Speaker 1: the Only Acceptable song from A Nightmare Before Christmas. Every
Speaker 1: other song is about how great Christmas is and how
Speaker 1: horrible Halloween is. Think about it and stop at it's
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. There is plenty of unexplored Halloween material
Speaker 1: to choose from. Like what how about k Starr the
Speaker 1: Headless Horseman. You'll be tempted by the dulcet tones of
Speaker 1: Bing Crosby's cover, but you must resist. K Star and
Speaker 1: her orchestra bring the entire holiday to life, and it's
Speaker 1: a classic, and everyone will think you've got taste.
Speaker 4: When the spooks have a Medna jambree, they break it
Speaker 4: up with a fiendish.
Speaker 5: Clean goals are bad, but the one that's cursed is
Speaker 5: the headless Austande's the worst way.
Speaker 2: He goes down and across the land.
Speaker 4: That oh, it is not an all on his hand,
Speaker 4: and demons take one look and grow.
Speaker 1: Other classics. I put a spell on you. Nina Simone's version,
Speaker 1: Is that sacrilege? No, because screaming Jay Hawkins is better
Speaker 1: served by little demon.
Speaker 3: Use that.
Speaker 6: Rock the great little demon blowing and stopped fire in
Speaker 6: his eyes this move from his head.
Speaker 2: You gotta female cool to hear the.
Speaker 1: Words not o'b scure enough or too old for you?
Speaker 1: Too bad because you're also in the screaming neighborhood with
Speaker 1: screaming the lord such you can use murder in the
Speaker 1: graveyard or Jack the Ripper. It's your choice, but only
Speaker 1: a fool would pass up the opportunity to watch an
Speaker 1: entire crowd of costumed characters twitch involuntarily at the ripper's whistle.
Speaker 2: With a little black bag. I guess also time.
Speaker 1: You gotta have Ghouls Night Out by the Misfits for
Speaker 1: the ladies. Also for the ladies. Superstition by Stevie Wonder,
Speaker 1: just because anything by Stevie is for the ladies. It's
Speaker 1: a great song, and it's in the Things.
Speaker 7: On the Wall.
Speaker 1: How about Dead Souls by Joy Division add that, add
Speaker 1: anything by She Wants Revenge. Look, I'm gonna throw a
Speaker 1: link to my Halloween playlist in the show notes. It's
Speaker 1: called Gula Rama. But I also want to know what
Speaker 1: you're listening to as the days grow short and the
Speaker 1: shadows grow long. Hit me up with that information and
Speaker 1: enjoy my playlist. You know what song is definitely going
Speaker 1: to be on there, Lou Reed's Halloween Parade. I find
Speaker 1: it to be the most relatable song at this time
Speaker 1: of year.
Speaker 4: But there ain't no Harry and no Virgin Marry. You
Speaker 4: won't hear those voices again, and Johnny Rio and Rotten Rita,
Speaker 4: you never see those faces again. This Halloween is something
Speaker 4: to be sure, especially to be here with them. There's
Speaker 4: the Born Again Loses and the Lavender Boozes, and some
Speaker 4: crack team from Washington Heights, the boys from Avenue B,
Speaker 4: the Girls from Avenue D, A Jacobill and Tights. This
Speaker 4: celebration somehow gets me down, especially when I see you're
Speaker 4: not around.
Speaker 2: There's no pet of the.
Speaker 8: Ship.
Speaker 3: Thank you, HP.
Speaker 1: I'm angling to get Ripley featured on Stupid Petricks, and
Speaker 1: Ripley gets her due this week in more ways than one.
Speaker 1: I squeezed her out of last week's episode nearly entirely,
Speaker 1: but I'm doing penance now.
Speaker 2: This is good boy.
Speaker 6: I guess I'm next.
Speaker 4: I shall never come here.
Speaker 1: When I saw the trailer for a horror movie from
Speaker 1: the family Dog's perspective, I had the same reaction I
Speaker 1: had when I saw the trailer for Backdraft. How what
Speaker 1: the fuck have we gone this long without somebody making
Speaker 1: a film? It's so insanely simple? How fucking oblivious are
Speaker 1: we all? Everyone loves horror, Everyone loves dogs. Although there
Speaker 1: is a stumbling block, and if you watch the trailer
Speaker 1: and you own a dog, it hit you before the
Speaker 1: coming soon hit the screen. We love dogs, We want
Speaker 1: to see dogs in movies, but we don't want to
Speaker 1: see dogs in peril, and we definitely don't want to
Speaker 1: see them harmed or killed. So the premise of the
Speaker 1: film is an intriguing one, but it's also kind of
Speaker 1: a dare.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Let me assure you, without giving anything away, you can
Speaker 1: see this movie, but should you. Yes, it's a fucking achievement.
Speaker 1: Indy the Dog actor who stars in Good Boy, should
Speaker 1: have his name added to the pantheon of animal stars
Speaker 1: beside Benji and Rin Tin Tin and Lassie and Jed
Speaker 1: and Darla. If you don't know those last two, welcome
Speaker 1: to midnight viewing. There's a lot you need to catch
Speaker 1: up on. This dog puts in a performance. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: the Gary Cooper Steve a Queen kind of performance where
Speaker 1: Indy's just be in Indie, But I'd counter that the
Speaker 1: dog is way more expressive than either of those actors.
Speaker 1: The film is nearly silent, and while the narrative is
Speaker 1: at times purposely confusing, Indy's place in it and his motivations,
Speaker 1: never are Indy the dog playing a dog named Indy
Speaker 1: is in fact director Ben Leonberg's pet, and I can't
Speaker 1: really envision another scenario where it would have been this
Speaker 1: effective unless you've trained dog from birth to do everything
Speaker 1: in a script. So the story is Indie's owner, Shane,
Speaker 1: has a terminal illness, though it seems to be in remission. Shane,
Speaker 1: after his last hospital stay, has chosen to aescu city
Speaker 1: life and take up residence in his grandfather's secluded cabin
Speaker 1: in the woods. The electricity is shoddy, the weather is terrible,
Speaker 1: Shane is frequently in the grips of a nostalgic reverie
Speaker 1: or something much worse, and the sounds from the basement
Speaker 1: are nothing less than disturbing, and Indy has to deal
Speaker 1: with all of it. There are scarce scenes that are
Speaker 1: super effective in this flick, and overall it's a beauty
Speaker 1: rendered film. You get used to the fact that our
Speaker 1: point of view is no higher than three feet off
Speaker 1: the ground for the entire film really quickly, as you
Speaker 1: do the fact that every human is basically just a
Speaker 1: set of legs or a silhouette. The atmosphere is killer,
Speaker 1: and there are moments of genuine shock, and yet something
Speaker 1: just doesn't quite hang. Everything individually is working like Gangbusters,
Speaker 1: but as a whole it feels oddly disjointed. Those scare
Speaker 1: scenes that I mentioned as effective. They start out with
Speaker 1: slow and quiet setups with mounting dread, and at the
Speaker 1: end there's a good jump scare. But somewhere between setup
Speaker 1: and payoff there's always an odd disconnect. It may be
Speaker 1: the filmmaker working against that central problem we don't want
Speaker 1: to see in any peril or panic, but somehow he's overcorrected,
Speaker 1: because as good as any individual scare or scene happens
Speaker 1: to be, you never get the sense that the dog
Speaker 1: is going to come to harm, and the film ultimately
Speaker 1: makes the same fucking choice that nearly every horror movie
Speaker 1: has been made lately. Horror is grief everybody in any event,
Speaker 1: you need to go see Good Boy. It's in the
Speaker 1: theaters now. It deserves your money. I don't know how
Speaker 1: the filmmaker is gonna follow this up with something else,
Speaker 1: unless he's been making something with another pet of his
Speaker 1: for the past few years.
Speaker 3: But Good Boy is it worth a look?
Speaker 1: All right, programs, let's talk tron.
Speaker 9: Since time began, man has gazed at the stars, and
Speaker 9: he has wondered, am I alone? So much talk of
Speaker 9: AI and big tech today, virtual world?
Speaker 5: What are they gonna look like when we get there. Well, folks,
Speaker 5: we're not going there. They are coming here. I would
Speaker 5: like you to meet Aris, the Ultimate Soldier. He's biblically strong,
Speaker 5: lightning fast, supremely intelligent, and if he is struck down
Speaker 5: on the battlefield, I will simply make you another.
Speaker 2: You think you're in control of this, You're.
Speaker 8: Not what I am.
Speaker 6: I'm looking for something, something I do not understand.
Speaker 9: Hang on, malfunctioning program?
Speaker 2: Who wants to live? Why is that? It's just a.
Speaker 1: Fascinating I've now seen every iteration in the theater. I
Speaker 1: remember when the first film was released and asking my
Speaker 1: cousin Bruce what Tron meant. I was nine. He said,
Speaker 1: it's a nickname. His real name is Electronics. And on
Speaker 1: some level I still believe that to be true. Okay,
Speaker 1: the groundbreaking first film that nobody went to but is
Speaker 1: the definition of not just a cult hit, but a
Speaker 1: wildly influential one. I figure you know the story and
Speaker 1: the story of its sequel from twenty years later now
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. But there is one thing I did
Speaker 1: want to touch on about those previous films. The first
Speaker 1: film's world was the game Grid, and that was created
Speaker 1: and controlled by the MCP through Encom. The second film
Speaker 1: does not take place in that world. The second film
Speaker 1: is The Grid, and that was constructed by Flynn Kevin
Speaker 1: Flynn's program Clue, also at Encom. The new film, tron
Speaker 1: Ares takes place in neither of those. This one is
Speaker 1: a whole new grid under the control of the Dellinger Corporation.
Speaker 1: Thus everything is red and not blue or white. That's
Speaker 1: David Dellinger's grandson running the show these days, so Dellinger
Speaker 1: and by extension, Sark and by extension, the MCP itself
Speaker 1: was played by David Warner. His grandson was hinted at
Speaker 1: in tron Legacy, with Killian Murphy playing the role. This
Speaker 1: film has Evan Peters from America Horror Story step into
Speaker 1: the part instead. Something tells me that Killian Murphy wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been quite so apoplectic in his portrayal. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying Peters as bad. I love him, and I'm still
Speaker 1: holding out for a James Cagney biopic starring him. It's
Speaker 1: just that he does a lot of screaming. This is
Speaker 1: a sequel, not a reboot. The first film ended with
Speaker 1: Flynn brought back to the world and taking over Encom.
Speaker 1: The sequel ends with Flynn merging with the Grid to
Speaker 1: allow his son Sam and newly created organism Cora to
Speaker 1: get out and into our world, where they've both disappeared
Speaker 1: entirely so. Tron Legacy began with Flynn's son, inheritor of Encom,
Speaker 1: who's always searching for his dad, doing some mad tech,
Speaker 1: and then base jumping off a skyscraper. Tron Aries begins
Speaker 1: with Eve Kim played by Greta Lee, who's inherited Encom
Speaker 1: from her sister who's gone missing. By that, I mean
Speaker 1: she's dead, but if there's a sequel, I bet we're
Speaker 1: going to get a digital version of her. We meet
Speaker 1: Eve snowmobiling down a treacherous mountain peak before engaging in
Speaker 1: some mad tech and solving the film's central problem. A
Speaker 1: little dramatic mirroring is fun at all, but the last
Speaker 1: movie didn't exactly have a coherent plot line, so maybe
Speaker 1: don't do that. That central problem is that both Encom
Speaker 1: and Dellinger Corps are in an arms race for the
Speaker 1: Permanence Code. Instead of sending humans into the computer, they're
Speaker 1: pulling programs into our world, but they only last twenty
Speaker 1: nine minutes. Before derezing. It makes sense for the company
Speaker 1: to be offering on demand weapons and soldiers to man them.
Speaker 1: From a storyline point of view, It's just that I
Speaker 1: don't give a shit to see them here. I know
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this before, but this is an Adams family situation.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be a who to see Gomez buying lettuce?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Not really, I live in this stupid world. I came
Speaker 1: to a movie theater to see the grid, the light cycles,
Speaker 1: the bizarre high line matches, guards that look like they've
Speaker 1: been dressed from a sporting good section of an O'Reilly
Speaker 1: auto parts Alarm bells went off in tron ares from
Speaker 1: the opening moments for me, a full two minute recap
Speaker 1: of the previous films, the players, their places, or lack
Speaker 1: thereof in the coming narrative. It might as well have
Speaker 1: been a Star Wars opening kroll for how clumsy it
Speaker 1: all was. And then the score kicked in and the
Speaker 1: film began, and I was hooked. God damn it. I've
Speaker 1: said previously, if there's any one thing that's unassailable across
Speaker 1: this franchise, it's the soundtrack. Each one is so goddamn
Speaker 1: perfectly attuned to the visuals. This is no exception. This
Speaker 1: isn't a Trent resnor Aticus Ross soundtrack. It's nine inch
Speaker 1: nails and honestly, I can't think of the last time
Speaker 1: that the score was not only doing as much heavy
Speaker 1: lifting to create mood and atmosphere, but was actually succeeding
Speaker 1: like this one does. This soundtrack was a marvel. It
Speaker 1: made action more breathless, emotions more deeply felt, and it
Speaker 1: added this indefinable gravitas to the whole thing. Side note,
Speaker 1: Ross and Resner, like Daft Punk before them, show up
Speaker 1: in the film Daft Punk where DJs at a club,
Speaker 1: Ross and Resner are fighter pilots trying to take down
Speaker 1: a recognizer. It helps that the whole thing is gorgeously shot.
Speaker 1: Every scene you can tell has been lavished with attention
Speaker 1: and care. That shouldn't be a point of discussion with
Speaker 1: a one hundred and eighty million dollar feature, but even
Speaker 1: that isn't assured in the current Hollywood landscape. The action
Speaker 1: is superlative here, that's hand to hand as well as vehicular.
Speaker 1: I think the action here is actually stronger than it
Speaker 1: was in Superman. Now let's talk aries aries. The Ultimate
Speaker 1: Grid Warrior designed by Dellinger to not only be his
Speaker 1: standard bearer, but Aries is also the new MCP, although
Speaker 1: with rolls slightly reversed. In the first film, Sark and
Speaker 1: a Dellinger answered to the MCP. Here the MCP answers
Speaker 1: to Dellinger and he can deres them in either world.
Speaker 1: Aries is basically Tron, the character Tron, if Tron had
Speaker 1: started out with a head full of bad wiring and
Speaker 1: eventually had to start making moral decisions and become the
Speaker 1: blue boy scout we barely know and barely love. Isn't
Speaker 1: it hilarious that this whole film series is called Tron
Speaker 1: and he's only kind of in the first film and
Speaker 1: virtually not the second, and he is not at all
Speaker 1: in Aries anyway, Aries himself is kind of a fascinating character,
Speaker 1: and you're on the journey with him from the moment
Speaker 1: we meet him, because he is too He begins questioning
Speaker 1: his programming nearly immediately, and always without lines of dialogue.
Speaker 1: I don't know what your opinion of Jared Lado is.
Speaker 1: All I hear is hate for him.
Speaker 3: Lately.
Speaker 1: It's of the he's a creeper variety. I don't care,
Speaker 1: because that's just the latest angle of hatred towards him.
Speaker 1: I get it, he's a pretty boy who rocketed to
Speaker 1: acting fame and then he decided to be a rock star,
Speaker 1: and he succeeded at that too. But I have never
Speaker 1: seen a bad performance from him.
Speaker 3: But the joker, Shut the fuck up. That was thug
Speaker 3: a joker.
Speaker 1: He may not be to your liking, he wasn't to
Speaker 1: my liking, but it was a committed performance, and a
Speaker 1: fucking good one at that.
Speaker 3: I believed him.
Speaker 1: I always believe him, from Jordan Catalano right up to Ares,
Speaker 1: and his performance here is the cleanest I think I've
Speaker 1: seen from him. No tics, no actorly bullshit, just a
Speaker 1: confused character trying not only to understand his own agency,
Speaker 1: but a place in one of two worlds where one
Speaker 1: of them is hunting him down and the other one
Speaker 1: he can only exist in for no longer than thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: It's a cool story, and unlike the last film, you
Speaker 1: don't have to stare at CGI Jeff Bridges with such
Speaker 1: a detached horror that you have no idea what any
Speaker 1: of the scenes he's in are actually about. And I
Speaker 1: want to point out one sequence in particular. You know
Speaker 1: how every film's attempt for the past forty years to
Speaker 1: visualize cyberspace has been laughably terrible. Is this a spinning
Speaker 1: information cube? I see before me? It's handle turned toward
Speaker 1: my obscenely pixeled cursor. Lawnmower man hackers, you remember, well,
Speaker 1: they give us a scene where Dellinger hacks into the
Speaker 1: Ncom mainframe. It's Aris in his team on a mission
Speaker 1: impossible style sequence, and it's fucking great. Special shout out
Speaker 1: to Jody Turner Smith as Athena. She's Airy's right hand
Speaker 1: and eventual arrival. I remember her as one of the
Speaker 1: best things from the Nightflyer series from twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen that, give it a watch. Now.
Speaker 1: Listen, the script here is halfway to where it needed
Speaker 1: to be. Maybe one to two more drafts were necessary,
Speaker 1: and after that they needed someone with an ear for
Speaker 1: language to come in and rewrite all of the dialogue, not.
Speaker 3: Some of it, all of it.
Speaker 1: Also, please stop adding comic relief characters to films unless
Speaker 1: they're actually funny. Don't rely on the actor. Otherwise, you
Speaker 1: just have characters doing and saying the things that we've
Speaker 1: seen be funny in the past, and that's not enough.
Speaker 1: Either make us laugh or drop the character. A lot
Speaker 1: of the plot here makes no sense. A lot of
Speaker 1: the situations seem pulled out of some bullshit screenwriting book.
Speaker 1: Stop reading those. They're written by people who are not
Speaker 1: famous for screenwriting. It's like listening to a guidance counselor
Speaker 1: you think those fifteen minutes they met with you over
Speaker 1: a four year period qualifies them to put you on
Speaker 1: a path for the rest of your life. There are
Speaker 1: some genuine surprises to be had in tron Ares, none
Speaker 1: of which I'm going to spoil here, but there's a
Speaker 1: sequence that made me gasp multiple times, and the ending
Speaker 1: is set up for another sequel, which I'm sure we're
Speaker 1: gonna get sometime in twenty thirty two. I didn't expect
Speaker 1: to like this movie at all, and now I want
Speaker 1: to watch it again. Sure, no, I'm not sneaking you in.
Speaker 1: We'll wait for streaming. That is going to do it
Speaker 1: for the weekly round up, tune in this Friday to
Speaker 1: midnight viewing. We've got the next two episodes of the
Speaker 1: final season of Tales from the Dark Side.
Speaker 3: Spoiler alert. We loved them.
Speaker 1: Check that out. Meanwhile, over on the Patreon page, that's
Speaker 1: patreon dot com slash fatherm Alone. You can hear that
Speaker 1: episode right now, as well as new series Moranis Fest,
Speaker 1: where frequent collaborator HP and I are looking at the
Speaker 1: cinematic efforts of Rick moranis also on the Patreon. You'll
Speaker 1: find a Little Old Lady Got Mutilated late last night.
Speaker 1: That's the other series I'm doing. That's the one with
Speaker 1: Paul Waller from A Year in Horror. We are taking
Speaker 1: a journey through the werewolf movies of past decades, starting
Speaker 1: with the granddaddy of them all, The Wolfman from nineteen
Speaker 1: forty one. Both those shows are available now, but if
Speaker 1: money's tight, and I know they are, you can do it.
Speaker 1: Was a huge favor just by liking the show or
Speaker 1: giving it five stars, or if you're an Apple, write
Speaker 1: a positive review. That would fucking open up so many
Speaker 1: possibilities for us, and it would be greatly appreciated. Until
Speaker 1: next time. Here's a bit from Tron because the other
Speaker 1: film is mainly barking. Yeah, like that, extract.
Speaker 2: The code and to lead the carrier.
Speaker 6: That's is, sir, extracting the permanent code to lead the
Speaker 6: carrier from a grid end from your world. Once upon
Speaker 6: a time, there was a weapon and its name was Garris,
Speaker 6: and every sobay every command to Julian Dillinger, and Julian
