You will not be sorry. So, Tim, when 40 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.599 was the first time you saw this film and what 41 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.240 did you think? 42 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:41.479 Sir? 43 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.919 I'll admit actually watching it for this was the first time. 44 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.319 It's one of those ones, and I will confess when 45 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:48.879 we were going to do this, I got confused and 46 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.719 thought it was the thing with two heads that we 47 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.120 were doing. So I was like, oh, oh, it's the 48 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.639 other one with Bruce Dern. So I had been curious 49 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:57.479 to see it. I've seen a lot of clips from 50 00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.360 like it came from Hollywood, and read about it in 51 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.960 the Golden Turkey Awards, so I was curious and it's 52 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.919 an interesting one. There are some cinematic techniques I think 53 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.000 are really cool in it, but I'll admit I it 54 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:10.879 didn't really grab me. I think it's kind of slow. 55 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.520 I think Brewstern seems to be on some kind of 56 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.360 depressive tranquilizing for most of it. There's a lot of 57 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.040 times they're like, oh, they're going to go in an interesting 58 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.879 direction with this, and like, oh, no, no, not really, 59 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.439 it's just sort of doing this. But there are some 60 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.639 things I really enjoyed it and found kind of fascinating 61 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:27.319 that we'll get into. 62 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:29.360 And how about yourself. 63 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.839 I'm certain I saw this on MST three K at 64 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.680 some point in my decade long history of watching it, 65 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.639 but this was the first time I think I'd paid 66 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.680 full attention to the movie as a whole, you know, 67 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.600 the whole way through. And I was very interested in 68 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:50.839 some of the editing techniques out of really out of 69 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.720 left field for a movie like this, But beyond that, 70 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.519 it was just it was a little dry for me. 71 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.399 I wanted more humor or more action. It was just 72 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.680 I felt empty when it was over. 73 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.879 Yeah, the editing techniques really grab you right from the 74 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.040 get go and don't let go. They really reminded me 75 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.800 a lot of easy Rider with that kind of flashing 76 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.800 forward between what you're watching now, and then it's very 77 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.199 odd later on when they have flashed backs to a 78 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.319 childhood trauma and I'm just like, wait, are we going forward? No, No, 79 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.279 we're going back in time. This was the first time 80 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.279 watched for me as well. I have to say that 81 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.439 Patroon donor James Bremble is very into this movie and 82 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.560 wrote up a whole lot of stuff for me to 83 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.279 talk about. So thank you James for doing that, because 84 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.439 I would have gone a little bit more surfacing on 85 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.519 something like this and just had a good time making 86 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.920 fun of it. But instead, we're going to try to 87 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.639 dive a little bit deeper and get into some of 88 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.399 the nitty gritty with this stuff, because it is an 89 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.439 interesting entry in the two headed person genre, or even 90 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.360 just the brain transplant genre. I mean, of course, you 91 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.879 know the brain that who Wouldn't Die has some similarities 92 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.480 to that, especially with the lab assistant Max in this 93 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.040 one who really wants to have a new body. But 94 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.399 it's interesting that he wants to have a new body 95 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.519 rather than Bruce Dern. Bruce Dern just seems as this 96 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.480 mad scientist just seems very content to make two headed creatures. 97 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.079 He just loves making two headed creatures in his lab, 98 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.639 which is part of his suburban home, which is a 99 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.000 very odd choice. 100 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.040 He also seems to be pretty easily influenced, like Maxil 101 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.839 constantly be like, we have to keep him alive. You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, 102 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.680 you're right. And when it comes to the big you know, 103 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.839 the operation itself, maxis the one is like, we've got 104 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.959 two perfect specimens. We should do it, we should do 105 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.639 this horrible evil thing. And He's just like, yeah, right, 106 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:48.639 prem for surgery. Fun. 107 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.360 But there is something I kind of love about having 108 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:57.680 a mad scientist lab in the basement of a suburban 109 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.079 dwelling because where would you not expect it to be? 110 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.279 Right there in the middle of kind of I'm assuming 111 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.360 they're more well to do given that they have servants, 112 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.920 so right there was I'm not imagining a servant, right. 113 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.439 Well, I mean you have Danny and his father being 114 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.600 kind of the caretaker and Dartness, so right there. 115 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:20.920 Yeah. 116 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.720 So it's it's kind of like danger could be anywhere, 117 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.560 it's even in the suburbs. 118 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.439 It also brought to mind for me like the Delambre 119 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.360 family from The Fly that you know, you have this 120 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.680 beautiful Bucolic nice house and the wife and kid, and 121 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.120 then dad can go downstairs, close this big metal door 122 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.040 locket and do all sorts of unseemly bizarre stuff that 123 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:42.439 ends up with heads where they don't belong. 124 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.439 This also fit in for me with the whole mind 125 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.800 transfer thing. There's a great movie called Change of Mind. 126 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.399 Well it's not great. There's a movie called Change of 127 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.639 Mind where it is a and this we'll talk a 128 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.199 little bit more about this when we talk about the 129 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.680 thing with two heads. It's a African American gentleman who 130 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.639 gets the brain of a white person transferred into his 131 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.279 brain into his head, so then he gets to experience 132 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.480 all of the racism, much more heartfelt and touching than 133 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.399 the whole Rosy Gar Raymond Land thing that we have 134 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.639 going on later on. But yeah, this was when I 135 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.360 was really not that familiar with I don't remember it 136 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.360 being part of it came from Hollywood. I believe you 137 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.480 that it was. I definitely remembered some of those shots, 138 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.920 like Manster when you see the eye on the shoulder, 139 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.079 which reminds me a lot of the Stephen King story 140 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.920 where the eyes start showing up on parts of the 141 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.320 body that they should be. And then the of course 142 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.000 a lot of clips from the thing with two heads, 143 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.200 especially that do you have two of anything else? 144 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:40.720 Lyne? 145 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.120 You know, that's one of the best ones that are 146 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.720 in there. But yeah, this one really had gone under 147 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.600 the radar for me, except I definitely had seen that 148 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:53.679 image of John Bloom as Danny the Manchild character with 149 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.799 is it Albert Cole? Is it casts that's on his shoulder? 150 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.039 Albert Cole, who just, man, oh man, he loves being evil. 151 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.879 He has the best time being evil. And there's so 152 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.039 many times where you cut to him and he's just 153 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:12.240 like moving his eyes back and forth and gnashing his teeth. 154 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.159 I mean, it's not like a poor Taylor Vince kind 155 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.720 of eyemotion, but he's just like moving his eyes and 156 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.200 looking around and just like, what can I get into next? 157 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.399 Because this guy just loves doing evil. 158 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.960 And he's so randomly evil too. He's just like, I'm 159 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.879 just going to run over here and grab a woman 160 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.960 because I can, and now I'm going to run in 161 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.960 the opposite direction back to my car and drive off. 162 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:38.039 And it's just like this this wacky, gleeful murder spree. 163 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.559 He just isn't going to pull back from it, and 164 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.120 the actor just goes with it. I was impressed by 165 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.039 that level of acting. Honestly, he just dug into it. 166 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:49.879 Whenever we get a close with him, all I can 167 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.519 think was like, well, Dwight Fry would look at this 168 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.639 and go, hm, maybe you should pull back a little bit. Yes, right. 169 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.679 He kind of reminded me of John Aston a little bit, 170 00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.679 and you know, just I don't know the shape of 171 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.600 his face or something, and he's got that little mustache. 172 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.639 I mean, he's not Gomez or anything, but he's getting close. 173 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.720 And yeah, we start off with him having murdered a 174 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.519 woman's husband and has her hostage, and there's we get 175 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.679 to see the phone is off the wall and you 176 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.639 hear the voice on the other end, and you're just like, wow, 177 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.879 something bad is going on right now. And then you 178 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.240 start those flashes, you know, and we've talked about those 179 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.159 flash cuts and everything, and we get to see the 180 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.879 cops show up, and I just love how he's surrounded 181 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.759 by these cops and he's not going to give up 182 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.000 his weapon or anything. Well, I think he does eventually 183 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.159 drop that huge butcher knife or like cleaver. 184 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.120 He was holding upside down. 185 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.919 Yes, yes, he didn't want to accidentally murder that on 186 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.840 then and then he takes a frickin' header out of 187 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.720 a window to avoid being captured. But luckily there's two 188 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:56.799 cops right outside. 189 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.519 I got to say the coppers, these are like the 190 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.399 calmest cops I've ever seen chasing down a serial killer. 191 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.600 The two guys like keV Steady, why don't you put 192 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.279 that down? And when he jumps out, there's that one 193 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.720 walking up with a smile, just like, Hi, I got you, okay. 194 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.639 I actually love Cole's reaction in the very quick courtroom 195 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.759 scene we have that he's kind of like, got this smirk, 196 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.000 and then as soon as the judge says that he's 197 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.720 insane and going to a mental hospital, he freaks out 198 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.519 like he's insulted by this idea that he is he 199 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:22.360 is not competent. 200 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.879 I love it. He will stay there until his sanity 201 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:32.360 has been restored. We get to quickly meet the manchild 202 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.200 who I mentioned before and kept confusing me because his 203 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.240 name is John Blum. I kept thinking of Joe Bob Briggs, 204 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:42.639 but no, very different person Danny and his I guess 205 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.039 it's his caretaker, or is it his dad. This cast guy, 206 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.679 I think it's his dad. 207 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.519 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be his dad, 208 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.600 because that's what the sheriff says at one point. 209 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.639 Yeah, which really starts to set up this whole father 210 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.919 relationship that we have and that we'll talk about as 211 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.559 we go along. But yeah, it's interesting too that is 212 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.519 played by Albert Cole, and I found a nice article 213 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.480 about him where he was actually a horror host, so 214 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.960 it's kind of interesting seeing him show up in this. 215 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.919 And then it's actually his son who plays the young 216 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.480 version of Danny when we see that flash back as 217 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.039 opposed to a flash forward or flash cut that we get. 218 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.879 So that was kind of a nice thing too, that 219 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.679 he's not only playing the father of Danny, but then 220 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.720 his real life physical son is playing that younger version 221 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.240 of Danny. 222 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.080 Oh see, I thought it was the guy who plays 223 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.559 Danny's father who was the horror host. 224 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.200 Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Albert Cole, Right, No, no, 225 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.559 Larry Vincent. Oh oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry Larry Vincent 226 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.360 as Andrew. My bad. I'm sorry I was mixing up 227 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.720 the killer and the guy. I'm so sorry. 228 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.480 I have to have like a list of the names 229 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.879 most of the time to be able to keep him straight. 230 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.480 Yeah, well it is, but it is coal it is, 231 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.519 so I guess it's the killer's son. Yeah, because this 232 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.480 Leslie Cole is young Danny. So the killer's son. 233 00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.080 What? Oh? 234 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.279 Interesting, Okay, I didn't not catch that. All of these 235 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:07.639 very exotic names like Ken and Danny and Linda, it's 236 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.960 stuff for me to keep them straight. 237 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.919 In terms of Leslie playing the young Danny, I'm not 238 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.159 sure if it was just a case of he was 239 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.039 just on set and they're like, hey, he looks enough 240 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.960 like Bloom, let's get him in here and play the part, 241 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.480 or if that was some kind of weird, kind of 242 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:23.320 subconscious idea they had about this future association he's gonna 243 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.000 have with this killer. 244 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.399 I imagine he was just on set, Yes, but he. 245 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.519 Looks enough like Boom, and I gotta say, looking at 246 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.080 Bloom whenever he's walking around, my god, that guy is 247 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.720 just huge. I started to wonder if they were patting 248 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.679 up his shoulders, because his shoulders had this weird roundness 249 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.799 to them. But he's tall enough that I'm not sure. 250 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.320 Maybe that's just how he was built. 251 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.720 But I would imagine I have no evidence for this, 252 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.720 but I would imagine they built up the shoulders a 253 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.039 little bit so that it wouldn't be so obvious that 254 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.159 the other actor was on his shoulder. 255 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.639 And I hadn't realized I had seen him before in 256 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.960 a few things. We saw Dracula versus Frankenstein, and that 257 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:04.120 he was in Star Trek six. He's the first alien, 258 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.960 the kind of accost Kirk and McCoy when they're on 259 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.360 the penal colony, well, it's like their obedience to the brotherhood, 260 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.440 and then Emmon shows up and helps them, and he's 261 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.279 the creepy chef from The Great Outdoors when John Canny's 262 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.919 doing the old ninety sixer. Oh god, the big smile thing. 263 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.919 Yeah, that's like the only part of that movie I 264 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.799 remember is him trying this stuff down that steak and 265 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.039 then he's got all the gristle and stuff. It's like, no, 266 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.279 you gotta finish it all. Oh god. 267 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.879 I also saw him credited for Harry and the Henderson's 268 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.240 as Feet, and I'm like, was he like Kevin Peter 269 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.240 Hol's foot double or something right? Or is there a 270 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.159 character named Feet that I can remember? I could not 271 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.120 find out, but I was really curious because I love 272 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:41.639 that movie. 273 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.440 Yeah, he is huge, and I think he actually gets 274 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.120 a really good performance here, especially when it comes to 275 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.080 after he gets the surgery and he's got Kass on 276 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.440 his shoulder, and you can see the hesitancy when he's 277 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.360 going after the pat Priest's character at one point and 278 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.320 you see this look on his face like no, no, no, 279 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.159 I don't want to do even though he's reaching out 280 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.799 his arms and going for and I just love that 281 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.679 whole like he's not strong enough mentally to fend off 282 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.120 Cass and his power over him. 283 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.720 The first time he sees her after the operation, when 284 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.159 she is in the lab and he has this smile like, 285 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.240 oh it's a friendly face. Oh help me, and then 286 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.679 you see that Cass is just like, yes, I'm going 287 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.840 to have this woman. Seeing those two contrasting smiles is 288 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.200 really creepy. That was actually a really great moment. 289 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.799 Yeah, there are some really good things in here. I 290 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.799 love Casey Casem when he shows up. Always love seeing 291 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.399 Casey Casem. I love that they were smart enough to 292 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.759 use him as a radio voice for all of the 293 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.799 police updates, which was good. Kind of throws on a 294 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.240 little bit different of a voice. It's not the top 295 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.159 forty Casey Casem. It's the much more serious version, the 296 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.799 one who gets the goddamn death dedications. That's the one 297 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.279 that has come into play when it comes to the 298 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.080 updates from the cops. 299 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.840 That's the thing I was waiting for, you know, take 300 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.679 me out of an upbeat temple for a dedication to 301 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.879 a dead monkey. I cannot think of Casey Kasem, not 302 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.960 think of that audio clip. I did notice that when 303 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.159 he gets dramatic in this, he whispers. 304 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.720 Yes, We've got to destroy it Roger. 305 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.320 It's like when he first shows up again after you know, 306 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.360 a month, and it's like he's on vacation. I'm like, 307 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:14.559 did Casey have larynge? I just want he filmed this 308 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.039 scene because his voice is very gravelly for just one scene. 309 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.720 I do wonder, though I don't know what is what. 310 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.519 The Ken character does not seem to like Danny. Like 311 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.080 there's that scene when Danny and Andrew are pulling the 312 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.919 stump out and he's watching with this kind of skeptical hmm. 313 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.519 I don't know how I feel about this, and then 314 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.080 they cut back to Danny looking at him like and 315 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.000 that makes sense because you know Danny has a crush 316 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.559 on Linda, and he probably instinctively knows this guy kind 317 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.799 of has a thing for Linda too. But I don't 318 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.240 know what it is about Ken looking at him looking like, 319 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.039 h I don't like this for whatever reason, and. 320 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.799 Would be a much better partner to Linda than Roger is, because, 321 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.200 like I said, Bruce den is just obsessed with creating 322 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.440 two headed creatures. And that's really the crux of this 323 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.960 movie is this whole domestic relationship between Roger and Linda, 324 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.079 between Bruce Stern and Pat Priest, and that he is 325 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.039 ignoring her, and he is putting all of his work 326 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.519 before the relationship with her. And we've got this whole 327 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.720 thing of her waiting for him for dinner and you know, 328 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.480 the labs break downstairs or whatever. But like she's waiting 329 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.960 for him, she's not allowed to bother him, I guess, 330 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.359 and she's just gets stood up for dinner in the 331 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.079 same house and I'm like, come on. But yeah, meanwhile, 332 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.240 Ken Casey casem he's you know, oh well, you know, 333 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.119 you got to help him out and all these like 334 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.640 really trying to play cad and get those relationships fixed, 335 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.480 even though yeah, you can definitely tell you that he's 336 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.559 got a crush on Linda, and who wouldn't because Pat Priest, 337 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:42.799 I mean, she is not shy about showing herself in 338 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:44.799 this movie. There's so many times where it's just like 339 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.079 bikini briefs, you know, like coming out of the bath, 340 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.720 all these things of like, wow, okay, they really were 341 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.440 playing up. She's away from the confines of being Marilyn 342 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:56.440 on the Monsters and now she can do whatever the 343 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:57.799 hell she wants in these movies. 344 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.640 I also feel like they were serving him very particular 345 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.480 fan base where it's like, Okay, let's tie he up, 346 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.599 let's throw in a cage, let's talk. Oh god, yes, 347 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.359 there's you can really feel the exploitation roots of that 348 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.920 movie in any scene with her being tied up or 349 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.799 or locked away somewhere or gagged. Yeah, there's a lot 350 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:12.960 of that. 351 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.440 It felt like an Irving Claw film. 352 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.279 Yeah, ken Is definitely has a thing for Linda and 353 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.240 would be a better partner. But you see even Danny 354 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.559 he's kind of is better and that he's attentive, like 355 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.799 when she's guarding, he comes over, he wants to help 356 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.000 out the when everything goes wrong, he's coming back with 357 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.640 a big thing of flowers to give to her. I 358 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.160 mean he's thoughtful in the way that Roger is absolutely not. 359 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.039 One hundred percent. Yeah, he's really kind of a. 360 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.200 Shit, Yes he really is. 361 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:41.359 And yeah, we should talk about Max, Who's It's very 362 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.359 interesting Barry Kroger is Max. He shown so many times 363 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.000 before he gets a name, and I'm just like, who 364 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.680 the hell is this guy? And the way that they 365 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.240 do these flash cuts, they were like cutting to him. 366 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.960 I'm like, who is this guy? Where's he at? Even 367 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.000 and then finally I'm like, oh, he's in the lab. 368 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.960 And then you see him with these gloves on. He 369 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.359 starts to talk about his hands and I really wants 370 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.880 these new hands, and it's just like we've seen and 371 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.279 a lot of these types of movies, this whole like, well, 372 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.119 my old body, my current body is starting to you know, 373 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.960 wear down or I've got issues, and I really need 374 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.880 a new body to do this. And I don't know 375 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.480 how good Danny would be at like surgery stuff with 376 00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:26.160 those big fucking paws he's got, but you know, it 377 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.640 would definitely give give Max a few more years, let's say. 378 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.640 Yeah, he also reminded me he's like the sinister version 379 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.799 of the really cute hunchbacked assistant from House of Dracula, 380 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.000 who's like helping out, just waiting for the research to 381 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.039 get there so she can be cured. Except she's really 382 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.480 sweet and nice, and this guy is just sinister and 383 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.279 evil as hell, right down to the gloves. I kept 384 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.279 thinking of like rot Winging from Metropolis or Doctor Strangelove 385 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.400 for a while there. When it comes to Mad Science, 386 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:54.880 if you have a glove on, you're not a good person. 387 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.039 You're somebody to be careful love. And I almost felt 388 00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:59.559 like I wish we had gotten a movie where it 389 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.039 was his head on Danny, because he is kind of 390 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.640 the villain of the movie for me, he's the real 391 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.200 motivator for he like, you know, he got perfectly good 392 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.079 dying homicidal maniac. We've got, you know, a developmentally disabled 393 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.880 guy who nobody's gonna miss. You know, we could do this. 394 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.640 And he's constantly like, no, we shouldn't kill him, we 395 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.519 should keephim alive. Yeah, maybe that'd be a good idea. 396 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:21.720 And Roger just seems to be on board, which made 397 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.880 me wonder was Max, like maybe his mentor at some point, 398 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.759 not just an assistant, but like this really you know, 399 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.279 important colleague. Maybe he could have done this stuff if 400 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.279 his hands were working. 401 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.720
