Speaker 1: Wait, wait, say.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Midnight Viewing, where this season we're taking
Speaker 2: a look at George A. Ramero's nineteen eighty series Tales
Speaker 2: from the Dark Side. Sharing the midnight view with me.
Speaker 2: Are the projection Booths, Mike White, you don't know Yattering
Speaker 2: and the culture cast Chris Stashure.
Speaker 3: You know what they say? Everybody Kay, Sarah Sarah.
Speaker 2: Tonight, we are taking a look at the next two
Speaker 2: episodes of season four, the final season of Tales from
Speaker 2: the Dark Side. Those are The Yattering and Jack and
Speaker 2: Seymour Lama. The Yattering and Jack is season four, episode seven.
Speaker 2: It aired originally on November the eighth, nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Written by Clive Barker from a short story by Clive Barker,
Speaker 2: directed by David O'Dell, starring Phil Fondacaro. Under the Rainbow
Speaker 2: was his first film, Something Wicked, This Way Comes. He
Speaker 2: was in Return of the Jedi, Willow Phantasm two, The Doors,
Speaker 2: The Last Action Hero. We saw him twice on Tales
Speaker 2: from the Crypt. Andy was in Bordello of Bla. He
Speaker 2: was a recurring villain on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. He's
Speaker 2: the voice a big figure in the New Watchman Animated
Speaker 2: Animated the comic and that's quite a fucking resume. Like anyway,
Speaker 2: That's Phil also starring Anthony Carboni, Tom Newman, and Danielle
Speaker 2: Breus Bois. That is Oscar nominee Danielle Bruce Bois for
Speaker 2: Original Song twenty fifteen a song called The Lost Stars
Speaker 2: from the movie Begin Again. This is the story of
Speaker 2: a minor demon who is tasked with breaking the spirit
Speaker 2: of a seemingly unflappable girkin salesman. What do you think
Speaker 2: of this one, Mike, Ooh, it's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be kind of a theme here with This could
Speaker 4: have been done a lot quicker. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 4: the words blackout skit. Oh shit, I just did so.
Speaker 4: This is what Clive Parker was up to back in
Speaker 4: the day.
Speaker 2: Huh okay.
Speaker 4: I don't know what it was about Anthony Carbone, who
Speaker 4: was frozen so solid it took him two days to
Speaker 4: thaw m out to do the autopsy, I believe. But
Speaker 4: with Carbone, his voice sounded so much like Darren McGavin,
Speaker 4: and at times he looked like Darren McGavin, and I
Speaker 4: just kept spending this entire episode thinking, man, I wish
Speaker 4: this was Darren McGavin. I like a good demon episode,
Speaker 4: I like a good devil episode, but this isn't a
Speaker 4: good demon or devil episode for me. It just was like,
Speaker 4: I like Phil Fondacaro a lot, and I was really
Speaker 4: excited to see his name in the credits. I was
Speaker 4: excited to every time that he was on screen. Kind
Speaker 4: of reminded me of that like little throwaway thing that
Speaker 4: happened on The Young Ones when Neil accidentally summoned well,
Speaker 4: I can't remember the gentleman's name who was like the
Speaker 4: main guy from Time Bandits, but he summoned a demon
Speaker 4: named putumsh and he showed up and was doing all
Speaker 4: these little dastardly things. But it was basically it was
Speaker 4: a throwaway gag. That's what this one is for me too. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I wasn't a big fan of this one. What'd you think, Chris.
Speaker 5: For this being as from one gay man to to
Speaker 5: another gay man's thing that he wrote not gay men here,
Speaker 5: not that I know him anyways, you guys haven't taken
Speaker 5: advantage of it.
Speaker 3: This is not as gay as I was expecting it
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 5: With Clive Barker in the title. I know, obviously eighty seven.
Speaker 5: Wasn't expecting any homosexual undertones or overtone. So once there
Speaker 5: was the lack of gay with Clive Barker, because Clive
Speaker 5: Barker and gay go together like peanut butter and jelly,
Speaker 5: I thought this was yeah, like you said, Mike, it
Speaker 5: was a yeah, man, blackout sketch. Everybody, look, it's it's
Speaker 5: the thing that's weird for me is that the twist
Speaker 5: is that he knew the whole time and we're not
Speaker 5: in on it until the end. And he's such a
Speaker 5: good liar the that we're supposed to be like, well,
Speaker 5: he's actually just like a psychopath.
Speaker 3: It turns out.
Speaker 5: I guess that's the moral of the story, is like
Speaker 5: the psychopath outwits the devil and more aptly, I guess,
Speaker 5: the demon less the devil. But I thought it was
Speaker 5: I thought it was fun, and yeah, Anthony Carbone does
Speaker 5: look like Darren McGavin, and I honestly thought it was
Speaker 5: there and mcavin.
Speaker 3: But it's not.
Speaker 5: But it would have been fun if it had been,
Speaker 5: so we could just think about that for a second.
Speaker 3: It's still fun.
Speaker 5: I just it's just you could have said way, You
Speaker 5: could have said the same amount in less time.
Speaker 2: By them alone, you didn't find both Beelzebub and the
Speaker 2: Yatter Rings outfits to be the gayest thing that they
Speaker 2: could possibly had. In nineteen eighty seven on television and
Speaker 2: Sunday Night at seven pm, are you out of your
Speaker 2: fucking guard man? Like this.
Speaker 5: Chest straps and rings on the little unfil Fondacaro's chest.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: No, we just get yeah, yeah, you'd get that later
Speaker 2: in the year when hell Racer came out. So it's true,
Speaker 2: let's face it, Clive Barker really popularized very subtly s
Speaker 2: and m gear and behavior for an entire generation this episode. Now, look,
Speaker 2: when Clive Barker hit the scene, he hit the scene
Speaker 2: really fucking hard with the Books of Blood because Stephen
Speaker 2: King very generously said I've seen the future of horror
Speaker 2: and his name is Clive Barker. And then suddenly every
Speaker 2: horror fan was buying those books and eating them up
Speaker 2: one after another. Now, this is his first adaptation in America.
Speaker 2: By then, he had written an adaptation of his story
Speaker 2: raw Head Rex, which is a terrible fucking film, and
Speaker 2: he tried to take his name off of it. He
Speaker 2: had written a movie called underworld, which is separate from everything.
Speaker 2: But this is the first adaptation of any of the
Speaker 2: short stories, certainly the first adaptation of any of the
Speaker 2: books of Blood, so I had already read it by then.
Speaker 2: I'm a huge Clive Barker fan. If you read the
Speaker 2: short story, it's a slow escalation over time, and what
Speaker 2: you're witnessing is this guy who you believed as the demon,
Speaker 2: believes that this is just the most oblivious motherfucker on earth.
Speaker 2: He is the modern Candide. Everything's fine. Oh the cat
Speaker 2: blew up. It must have been the dogs. Stupid dogs.
Speaker 2: Now I'll bury the cat. That kind of a thing.
Speaker 2: The problem here with this episode is Anthony Carbone because
Speaker 2: I never once believe that he isn't fully aware of
Speaker 2: what's going on, and he isn't stifling rage. He just
Speaker 2: seems angry. So it undermines this idea because if that's
Speaker 2: actually how he is, if he actually is angry and
Speaker 2: just stifling it slightly, then the ending makes no sense.
Speaker 2: When we find out he's known the whole time. He
Speaker 2: should have acted even cooler the whole time. And that's
Speaker 2: what's great about the short story, and that's why the
Speaker 2: short story works and why this is so fucking bad.
Speaker 2: Plus the stuff the thing is doing is so outrageous
Speaker 2: that you can't just say nothing's happening. When the dead
Speaker 2: turkey flies up onto the top of the Christmas tree
Speaker 2: and is flapping around and he's, I don't know, probably
Speaker 2: the wind, let's have hot chocolate, honey. It's no, sar,
Speaker 2: that doesn't worry. It might work on the page, and
Speaker 2: it does work on the page, but it doesn't work visually.
Speaker 2: It's just so insane.
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't. It doesn't work, and it could have.
Speaker 5: And that's like you said, like it's it. I guess
Speaker 5: with hindsight rewatching it, it was. It's obviously. Then his
Speaker 5: behavior seems a little bit more like, Okay, I'm just
Speaker 5: ignoring this horse shit that's going on. But the first
Speaker 5: watch through it makes very little sense. A literal turkey,
Speaker 5: a literal raw turkey literally jumps on top of a
Speaker 5: Christmas tree and spits in a circle. It's a great visual, yea,
Speaker 5: we get one of the greatest visuals I think I've
Speaker 5: ever seen involving a raw piece of poultry since Peter
Speaker 5: Gabriel had one dance in his Sledge Amber music video.
Speaker 5: That's what we're yeah, yeah, exactly, but this is this
Speaker 5: is absurd and it's it's making a turkey gobbling noise
Speaker 5: at the same time, Like it's a great visual, and
Speaker 5: that's like the best part of this episode is that visual,
Speaker 5: Like the moment he walks into his house and the
Speaker 5: mirror cracks.
Speaker 3: He's just foundation is just settling, I see.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, must be foundation, over and over.
Speaker 3: Swamp gas.
Speaker 2: I tell you, you know, it's funny in the short story,
Speaker 2: as he lived in London and it takes place in England. Initially,
Speaker 2: the English phrase for that is subsidence. Instead of saying
Speaker 2: the house is settling, he just kept saying subsidence over
Speaker 2: and over again. Just one of those English phrases I
Speaker 2: don't know, like flat or fucking tube.
Speaker 4: I've never heard of that before. So that's very good
Speaker 4: to know. I'm chuffed to know that. Yeah, which I
Speaker 4: also thought that meant I was pissed off.
Speaker 2: I did too, And no, it just means like, I'm
Speaker 2: super proud of you. Have either of you in any
Speaker 2: of your years had Carollers come to your house maybe once?
Speaker 3: Maybe one time.
Speaker 5: When I lived in Minneapolis and Phil Hartman was my
Speaker 5: next door neighbor, and I didn't get my child a
Speaker 5: Christmas present, and I was out and I came back
Speaker 5: and the Christmas underneath phil Hartman.
Speaker 2: Street too early in the year.
Speaker 3: That's what I had. But that's the only other.
Speaker 5: I can't think of another time I've seen carollers in
Speaker 5: anything other than Jingle All the Way are Kroller?
Speaker 3: Is that a real thing? Did anybody do that outside
Speaker 3: of Scrooge's time? Did people just do it then to
Speaker 3: get out of the house.
Speaker 2: It seems like it's a novelty that can still occur
Speaker 2: these days, but it doesn't happen with the regularity that
Speaker 2: it happens in short stories and in television shows.
Speaker 5: Would go and walk around your neighborhood and sing at
Speaker 5: Christmas time?
Speaker 2: If I got to dress up in period costume, your
Speaker 2: fucking air, right, I would? And I got to pick
Speaker 2: the carols?
Speaker 4: Yes, And if I got some figgy pudding, oh yeah, man, you.
Speaker 3: Guys put a lot of qualifiers on it.
Speaker 5: I don't think in Las Vegas anybody's putting figgy pudding
Speaker 5: on anything. And I don't think anyone would open their
Speaker 5: door for you if you should up looking like a caroler,
Speaker 5: especially if you look like and I'm just quoting the
Speaker 5: Bible here, some sort of fourteenth century ponts. I just
Speaker 5: don't think it would have I would love to see it.
Speaker 5: I would open the door for you, but I'm not
Speaker 5: sure i'd expect you to start singing.
Speaker 2: Remember I'm not starting this league.
Speaker 5: I would be joking, starting as the Carollers League.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I love the idea that it's also the coffee can
Speaker 5: for the homeless.
Speaker 2: Yeah, idea something for the homeless. Sure, here's a smattering
Speaker 2: of change. He's really got the Christmas spirit.
Speaker 3: You'll go far.
Speaker 5: Kid with your like thirty five cents that he gave.
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're gonna take it down at the local
Speaker 5: soup kitchen and go fucking thanks for nothing.
Speaker 3: What does this take? A penny?
Speaker 5: Leave a penny? I was I wanted this to be
Speaker 5: better than it was. But it's also a comedy bit.
Speaker 5: This is this show in comedy don't go well together,
Speaker 5: and like anthology shows in general, it's very iffy. So
Speaker 5: this is the iffiest of equations. Here is the comedy
Speaker 5: equation with these kinds of shows.
Speaker 2: And this is a short story writer who fell into
Speaker 2: short story writing because originally he was a playwright until
Speaker 2: he burned himself out on that and he could no
Speaker 2: longer paint and then wrote a bunch of short stories
Speaker 2: and gave it to his agent, who put this book out,
Speaker 2: and then suddenly he's doing this and he's writing screenplays.
Speaker 2: Considering where he is in his career. I think the
Speaker 2: story is great, and I encourage everyone to go back
Speaker 2: and reread the Books of Blood. But this is terrible.
Speaker 2: I really liked the Bielzaba Tom Newman. I thought his
Speaker 2: performance was good.
Speaker 4: Has he been in here before?
Speaker 2: This is his first Tips from the dark Side.
Speaker 3: Stephen King is someone who I always here.
Speaker 5: He has such great short stories and you just know
Speaker 5: how to end like a big story.
Speaker 4: Catch me on the next episode, why don't you.
Speaker 5: But the thing about this short story is, like you
Speaker 5: just mentioned Father Malone, I actually really love Clive barker
Speaker 5: short stories. Books of Blood is amazing, Like in terms
Speaker 5: of the compilation of short stories, it's great. So six
Speaker 5: volumes right exactly, Like it's not just yeah, it's a
Speaker 5: fair amount.
Speaker 3: And he it's so.
Speaker 2: Funny because if you look at critical reappraisal of Clive Barker,
Speaker 2: they thought they focus almost wholly on his novels, which
Speaker 2: admit he hasn't done any short story works since Books
Speaker 2: of Blood, but it is almost exclusively like Imagica and
Speaker 2: Weave World and Cabal. But it's rare that the Books
Speaker 2: of Blood ever get mentioned anymore, when at the time
Speaker 2: it was just like it was all the rage. I
Speaker 2: owned all of them.
Speaker 5: Well, And that's the thing, Like I I learned about
Speaker 5: Clive Barker through hell Raiser, which was a novella, and
Speaker 5: then I read the short stories with Books of Blood.
Speaker 5: And when I went to the first and only time
Speaker 5: I've ever been to Texas fright Mare Weekend, I brought
Speaker 5: my copy of Books of Blood with me to get
Speaker 5: it signed, and then I didn't want to wait five
Speaker 5: hours to meet Clive Barker because they didn't advertise ahead
Speaker 5: of time. You'd have to wait in a five hour
Speaker 5: line to meet him, which was fucking insane. So I
Speaker 5: have a very like personal affinity for Books of Blood,
Speaker 5: and when I saw Clive Barker's name on this, I
Speaker 5: was just like, oh God, oh no, and it does
Speaker 5: it does in fact lead me down that path of
Speaker 5: like his stuff. The best person to adapt Clive Barker stuff,
Speaker 5: I think might be either Clive Barker or someone who
Speaker 5: gets his stuff inherently and you don't have to explain
Speaker 5: it to him, because if you have to explain Clive
Speaker 5: Barker or someone and what his deal is, I just
Speaker 5: most people aren't gonna be into it.
Speaker 3: He's like a very specific flavor of horror.
Speaker 2: Clive Barker needs a Mike Flanagan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: he hasn't had one, and he does not count. He
Speaker 5: cannot count for himself because hell Raisers Amazing directed the
Speaker 5: fucking thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, he's a visual stylist right above all,
Speaker 2: he's been painting now for twenty five thirty years, and
Speaker 2: his paintings are just sucking incredible. That's mainly what he's
Speaker 2: been doing. Those are novels. And he was in a
Speaker 2: coma and he's effectively not left his house.
Speaker 3: Right, which is such a bummer.
Speaker 5: Now that I'm like, I wish I kind of had
Speaker 5: waited in a five hour lines nothing now.
Speaker 2: When I was eighteen, I waited in a five hour
Speaker 2: line and I got him to sign my copy of
Speaker 2: A Mad and I asked him, are we going to
Speaker 2: get a sequel to Night Breed? And he looked me
Speaker 2: in the eye and said it's on the way. I promise.
Speaker 2: He fucking liar, you liar.
Speaker 5: Hey man, that's a good one. That is a good one.
Speaker 5: Night Breed is a good one. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 5: think we're I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 2: Probably not. There is a sequel novel, however, there is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a sequel to a ball. So I encourage everyone
Speaker 2: to go check that out, all right. From the Ridiculous
Speaker 2: to the more Ridiculous Seymour Lama Season four, episode eight
Speaker 2: aired originally on November the fifteenth, nineteen eighty seven. This
Speaker 2: is written by Harvey Jacobs and David Woolner from a
Speaker 2: story by Harvey Jacobs, directed by Bruce Dolan, starring Divine, J.
Speaker 2: D Roth, Kathleen Doyle, David Gail, and Kathy Lepinsky. Oh boy,
Speaker 2: they found the new Lama. He's in suburbia and he
Speaker 2: likes to knit and his dad is sometimes ahead on
Speaker 2: a dish. Chris, what do you think of this one? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I trying to figure I'm gonna I'm gonna throw this
Speaker 2: one at you, like deal with Divine as Chung Fang.
Speaker 5: So, first off, have never seen divine in anything, so
Speaker 5: I'm not what correct?
Speaker 3: So wow, I plays Chinese.
Speaker 2: Men hand in your gay papers.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, I've heard of this before. The gay police.
Speaker 2: That's right, the gay police.
Speaker 4: Are you police the gay now? They're currently in Washington, DC.
Speaker 4: Don't worry, they'll be coming your.
Speaker 5: With one can only hope no. So again, like I'm
Speaker 5: a baby gay per the gay community. I've only been
Speaker 5: out for five years, so I'm still coming to terms
Speaker 5: with my gayness and also watching like gay gay things.
Speaker 5: I haven't gotten to John Waters yet. Like I would say,
Speaker 5: sue me and this day and age, don't I have
Speaker 5: no money, so don't do it. I was gonna say,
Speaker 5: this is the first time I've actually mistaken David Gale
Speaker 5: for the right actor, because there have been so many
Speaker 5: times been like, that's the guy from Reanimator and it's not.
Speaker 5: This is the first time I was like, that's the
Speaker 5: guy from Reanimator and when I looked it up and
Speaker 5: I was like, that was the guy from Reanimator. So
Speaker 5: many times I've seen tall, white, gaunt actors with his
Speaker 5: look and complexion and gone, that's the guy from Reanimator,
Speaker 5: only to learn it's not. This is the first time,
Speaker 5: it was guess what though this is whoof the last
Speaker 5: episode was bad. This is interminable fuck sick. I Mike,
Speaker 5: you and I and our friend Richard HadAM of Richard
Speaker 5: Hadam's paranormal Bookshelf covered the King and I on Rankin
Speaker 5: on Bass, and there was a lot of racism there,
Speaker 5: Chinese racism at the hand of Darryl Hammond doing an
Speaker 5: Asian accent. The entire movie. I had chopsack Asian accent.
Speaker 5: This wasn't that bad, but it was close. And it
Speaker 5: was also just again a black out sketch, like what
Speaker 5: a the gag? The gag, The gag at the end
Speaker 5: is so dinky and dumb, and the whole setup is
Speaker 5: bogus at times.
Speaker 3: I get what they're going for, but.
Speaker 2: It's just have you said blackout sketch yet?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: God, it is the blackout sketch to end all blackout sketches,
Speaker 5: almost like the last one was where I'm like, you
Speaker 5: know what, Like you could have explained the joke in
Speaker 5: the first five seconds and we would have had it,
Speaker 5: like down, Pat, we got it. They think that God
Speaker 5: is in this house, Buddy's actually in the one next door.
Speaker 2: Here's the actual White panel. They're carrying them out and
Speaker 2: they and he says, oh wait, no, this is such
Speaker 2: and such. Drop them right.
Speaker 5: Where the Griswolds and we're looking for sex. That's the
Speaker 5: fucking from European vacation. The same they and they take
Speaker 5: that gag all the way to They build that one
Speaker 5: out and they get some mileage out of it. But
Speaker 5: with this is like the whole episode. Come on now,
Speaker 5: I'm good. It's just I don't know. I wasn't here
Speaker 5: for it. It was not for me, so I'm very
Speaker 5: curious what Mike White has to It.
Speaker 4: Was remarkable that they could let this thing drag on
Speaker 4: for as long as it did. I was just so
Speaker 4: surprised because it's just one joke that they're doing for
Speaker 4: twenty two minutes. And yeah, you've got us built up
Speaker 4: to the punchline. And I could have, like you said,
Speaker 4: I could have had that within three minutes. This whole thing. Oh,
Speaker 4: we're here to find the new Lama. It's basically it's
Speaker 4: the opening of Life of Brian with the Three Wise Men,
Speaker 4: and they find Brian and the stable with his mom
Speaker 4: and dad, and then they realized, oh no, the star's
Speaker 4: over there, so they come back and they take all
Speaker 4: the gifts and then run out and they go to
Speaker 4: Jesus as some major that's what this is. And they
Speaker 4: settled that with very very little. It was great how
Speaker 4: Brian's mom was just like, oh, I don't really need
Speaker 4: the mr, but if you got more gold, that'd be
Speaker 4: great kind of thing. This, yeah, it's I wasn't necessarily offended.
Speaker 4: I liked Divine with those big white eyebrows that she's
Speaker 4: got on and all that, and the very lascivious what
Speaker 4: was her name, Madam Woo that's with them, But yeah,
Speaker 4: Seymour was just a dinkist. I kind of wanted him
Speaker 4: to be even more of a dweeb. Just really go
Speaker 4: for it kid, but just wasn't very good. And then
Speaker 4: I was trying to figure out the relationship between the
Speaker 4: dad and him and the mom and him, and I'm
Speaker 4: just like, what the Hell's what is this family dynamic?
Speaker 4: Do they hate their son? That would be something if
Speaker 4: they just absolutely if the dad just hated the son's
Speaker 4: guts so much. And then he has to sing a
Speaker 4: whole different tune and they threatened to kill him because
Speaker 4: he's insulted the new Lama and stuff. But it comes
Speaker 4: with nothing. Yeah, I can't say that I'm a big
Speaker 4: fan of this one either.
Speaker 3: I'd like I'd like to clarify, need.
Speaker 4: To watch some John Waters films.
Speaker 3: I do need to watch John Waters films. I'd like
Speaker 3: to clear flight.
Speaker 5: Not offended, more offended that I had to watch a
Speaker 5: twenty three minute long episode that was attempting to be
Speaker 5: funny by doing the same thing.
Speaker 3: Nothing offends me at this point.
Speaker 4: I didn't clutching your pearls.
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't clutching them.
Speaker 2: This is the first time I've ever seen David Gale
Speaker 2: as a good guy, and at the start, like I
Speaker 2: was enjoying this character where he's like listening to the
Speaker 2: wind outside. This is the second Christmas episode in a row,
Speaker 2: by the way, and the second episode.
Speaker 4: That November, which that was very odd.
Speaker 2: Exactly that they consigned to November. I think it seems
Speaker 2: like Tails from the Dark Side after Seasons of Belief
Speaker 2: was really scared to offend people. Actually on the day
Speaker 2: they ended up dumping these here in November. But yeah, no,
Speaker 2: he's those are the voices of hell out there. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is cool, this is gonna be a fun family
Speaker 2: And then Seymour, who was a fucking dickhead comes down.
Speaker 2: The dynamic here is that the I think the mom
Speaker 2: is adoring Seymour, the dad barely tolerates him. But the
Speaker 2: dad is wearing the sweater that he's been knitted by
Speaker 2: the sun. This is oh boy. Here's my favorite part
Speaker 2: where Divine is constantly over explaining things. And at one
Speaker 2: point it'says, last night we spent at the holiday inn.
Speaker 2: It was so hot we had to open the window,
Speaker 2: but the window wouldn't open. There was glass everywhere, and
Speaker 2: that's it. So he's just full of these weird little
Speaker 2: non sequitis like that kept me going through the episode,
Speaker 2: and just seeing Divine doing anything always makes me laugh
Speaker 2: and I think, yeah, not offended necessarily. It doesn't seem
Speaker 2: like there's punching down going on at all here. It
Speaker 2: seems like if anyone's the butt of the joke, it's
Speaker 2: this fucking family. Nevertheless, I know this is the stupidest
Speaker 2: nitpicking of things, but like a scimitar, why would he
Speaker 2: have a scimitar if they were from Tibet?
Speaker 6: Anyway, Wait, low pooh, Father Malone, Low low pooh, pooh, everybody,
Speaker 6: how many times can we go to that well, yeah,
Speaker 6: how many times can we lower ourselves to that, to
Speaker 6: that level of idiot shit joke?
Speaker 2: I did like the joke we're giving you this rice
Speaker 2: and then they give him this like leatherbound Tom and
Speaker 2: they say, is this a holy book? Is just no
Speaker 2: recipes for the rice?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: The best part about this episode is Divine with the
Speaker 5: fucking one liners and that's it. But I didn't need that, Like,
Speaker 5: I can clearly go watch other things that they have
Speaker 5: worked on, like John waters Fare, so I don't have
Speaker 5: to watch this. If this is like a poor fac
Speaker 5: simile of those things too, I'm sure. So it almost
Speaker 5: feels like, once again, the people whose talents are on
Speaker 5: screen are better than what they're being given.
Speaker 2: This episode made me think that David Galeen Fittz Weaver
Speaker 2: should have played brothers in something Thank You.
Speaker 4: I also that Fritz Weaver looks so much like David Gale.
Speaker 4: We were yeah, we were covering Demon Seed. I think
Speaker 4: Fritz Weaver is in and I was just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's so good in The Reanimator and it's no, that's
Speaker 4: not the same guy. I'm like, okay, Yeah, all these
Speaker 4: years I thought that they were the same person.
Speaker 2: Like Harrison Ford and Steve Martin should have played brothers
Speaker 2: when they were younger.
Speaker 4: Oh, that would be good. Yeah, especially before Steve's hair
