<v Speaker 1>Romero's nineteen eighty series Tales from the Dark Side. I'm

00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>the projection booths Mike White.

7
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition. You stole my joke.

8
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, today, if you're taking a look at two episodes

9
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>from season three, those are Heretic and a Serpent's Tooth Heretic.

10
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Season three, episode seven originally aired on November ninth, nineteen

11
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>eighty six. This one was written by Edith Swinson We're

12
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep tangling with you, Edith, and directed by Gerald Kottz.

13
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 1>This one stars Roberts Blossom. He's an anthology hero now.

14
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>We had him over on Twilight Zone eighty five and

15
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 1>a fucking really good one, also starring Bruce McVitie, Michael O'Hare,

16
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>and Alan Scarf. When a shady art dealer starts trafficking

17
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 1>and stolen church relics, he discovers that truly no one

18
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>expects the Spanish Inquisition. There it is twice now for

19
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>you folks. Mike what you think of heretic.

20
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 3>I really liked this episode. It could have been so

21
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 3>cheesy and so bad, but I really think that the

22
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 3>performances kept this on track. And especially so who's our

23
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 3>main character is that Jimmy, right, yep, Michael O'Hare. Jimmy

24
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 3>has one speech that he's giving to I believe it's Heart,

25
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>the Bruce mcfedie character, and he's talking about, Hey, I

26
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>used to be just like you. I was the runner,

27
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I would do this, and I wanted to be bigger

28
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 3>than I am, and now here I am, and I'm

29
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 3>teaching you the lesson that I had been taught when

30
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 3>I was in your position. And it's I don't know,

31
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 3>maybe like two minutes long if that. But I was like, wow,

32
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 3>that's a really good speech, and Michael O'Hare delivers it

33
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 3>very well. And there are there moments where we need historyonics,

34
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 3>we need screaming and pleading and stuff, and he seems

35
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>to do that pretty darn well as well. So I

36
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 3>was really happy with the way that this episode went,

37
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 3>and it followed what I thought was going to happen

38
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 3>pretty well. But yeah, I also obviously going all the

39
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 3>way back to Night Gallery talking about the changing paintings

40
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 3>with Roddy McDowell. This kind of has some of that

41
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 3>going and I loved it. And then yeah, fucking Roberts

42
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 3>Blossom shows up and I'm like, Okay, yeah, whatever you

43
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 3>want to do, show, I'm here for Roberts Blossom. Just

44
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 3>please let this man have the floor.

45
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>For the first time in as far as I can

46
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>remember watching anthology shows, here, Mike, this is an episode

47
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>that made me gasp. At one point, I was actually

48
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 1>shocked at something they did, and near the end agree,

49
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, by the way, I think Bruce McVitie is

50
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>heart I think he's the main guy. I think Michael

51
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>O'Hare is the up and comer who seems older than

52
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Bruce McVitie just weirdly. Bruce mcvittie, by the way, was

53
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>on ended up on The Sopranos like five or six

54
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>episodes of The Spiders.

55
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 4>I love that guy. Yeah.

56
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I The economy that we loved about this show all

57
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>fully on display here. I got really nervous in the

58
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 1>opening scene only because of the art direction. Yeah, very

59
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>set bound, not at all stoked once they because you

60
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>knew as soon as the scene opened that this was

61
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>going to be our location, and I thought, I don't

62
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 1>know if I can take watch in that. But when

63
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 1>he ends up falling into that painting, and then I

64
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 1>really appreciated the set because not only was the dungeon

65
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>set obviously that's where they spent all the money, but

66
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>they reused even the wall from his apartment. If you

67
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 1>notice that those blocks were huge and now they've repainted

68
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 1>them to look like the dungeon. I thought that was

69
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>so economical. It made me love how chinsey it looked

70
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning. Yeah, the acting in this one carries

71
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it that Bruce mcfeeden, that guy man, like I totally

72
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 1>believed it. That so easily could have been a clumsy scene.

73
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And for some reason, that guy just commands the fucking

74
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him in a bunch of stuff, but he's

75
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>another actor.

76
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like, why is it?

77
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>He huge?

78
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 4>Like he's got real.

79
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Presence to him. And then like you said, oh, and

80
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>then Roberts Blossom shows up as in this Inquisitor's out.

81
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>He looks great. He's just so freaky.

82
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 4>Man.

83
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>His performance here is unlike any performance I've seen of his.

84
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>It's leering and creepy and taunting and having a good

85
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>time I don't know if I've seen Roberts Blossom having

86
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>a good time being so fucking evil, Yeah, I think, well.

87
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, probably just his roll in Christine. He seems to

88
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 3>be having a pretty good time at one point, just

89
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 3>ripping his brother to shreds. But yeah, I was also

90
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 3>very surprised to when the first time there's something supernatural

91
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 3>that it's Alan Scarf who shows up and he's very

92
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 3>gentle and he's just talking about Saint Bartholomew and the

93
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 3>way he had this cup and everything. And when he

94
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 3>shows the cup, I'm just like, oh, Jesus, so we're

95
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 3>going to talk about the cup of a carpenter. Is

96
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 3>this is going to be the holy g real kind

97
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 3>of thing, you know? And then I love that that

98
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 3>he eventually takes it and he's drinking from the cup

99
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 3>once he goes into the fantasy sequence, and I so

100
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 3>wanted it to be the dog's bowl when yes, yes,

101
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm drinking of a dog bowl.

102
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:40.639
<v Speaker 4>What the hell's going on?

103
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but what we're talking about the surrealism going on

104
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>here in this season. If folks, if you listened to

105
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 1>the last episode. When we reviewed the last two episodes

106
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 1>of the season, we were appreciating how surreal that they've

107
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.879
<v Speaker 1>gotten this year and this has continued it and this

108
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 1>is Edith Swinson who has given us a lot of

109
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:04.439
<v Speaker 1>clunkers are and but here just the ingenuity of it,

110
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>like you said, the fact that we don't immediately just

111
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>drop him into the Spanish inquisition, the fact that there's

112
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>this sort of harbinger who shows up at almost like

113
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a warning and then he falls into it and then

114
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>we meet an even greater kind of threat.

115
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

116
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 1>This one's a big old winner for me. And yeah,

117
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 1>like all I could think watching Bruce mcfeidiey like the

118
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 1>this is just stupid behind the scenes kind of thoughts,

119
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>but like how many push ups was he doing that morning?

120
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I hear that they were going to strain him up shirtless, Like.

121
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 3>When the torture scene actually was effective, because normally when

122
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 3>I see torture, I'm just like, Okay, yeah, that actually

123
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>looks like it might be kind of a nice effect,

124
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, like I do use some traction myself, a

125
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 3>good old stretch, but it really looks like it hurts

126
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.319
<v Speaker 3>this guy.

127
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all of the sort of violence against him looks good,

128
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 1>and all of the sort of regret on the guy,

129
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.319
<v Speaker 1>like when he comes back, like when he gets caught

130
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 1>the second time. That's the shocking part. Let me just

131
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 1>mention that when fucking Roberts Blossom shows up in our

132
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>world in the doorway, oh my god, like a genuine, shocked,

133
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>genuine fright would work tails from.

134
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 4>The dark side.

135
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was really good. Just can you imagine Roberts

136
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Blossom just showing up at your door anytime, even if

137
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 3>he was just like delivering a nice package for you,

138
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker 3>something had a beautiful shercutery board or something. But if

139
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.199
<v Speaker 3>it's Robert's Blossom delivering it, I don't know if I'm

140
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 3>going to take that chercuity board.

141
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know I'm taking anything. I don't know

142
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm opening the door. I would probably yell from my

143
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>window or something like can I help you, sir, We're good,

144
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>thank you? Something the door.

145
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna hurt you.

146
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, and my granddaughter doesn't want to pay attention

147
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 3>to me or whatever it is. I finally saw a

148
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 3>home alone for the first time, so I'm like, oh, okay,

149
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 3>this is what most people know him from. I'm more

150
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 3>like Christine or any of these shows. Hell, I'm just

151
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 3>thinking about him with that Trick or Treat episode that

152
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 3>we had. Was that just last season, Yeah, which was

153
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 3>very good as well. And then yeah, you mentioned that

154
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Twilight Zone. Was that the one that was the one

155
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>with Piper Lauri right where the car breaks down?

156
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was the burning Man. I believe that Ray

157
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Bradbury short story.

158
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 4>That was good.

159
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, one of these just one offs where it's

160
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to explain anything to you, this is

161
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>just how sometimes it happens in the world. Like that

162
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>to me is just the fucking most terrifying thing, Like

163
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 1>when a show can do that and do it well

164
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 1>like Bravo and Dark Side's doing it.

165
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're really hitting at this time.

166
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 4>Oh man.

167
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Once again, I was so scared and they're just fucking

168
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>pulling it off. God bless And just because this is

169
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>called Heretic, it reminded me of the movie Heretic that

170
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I watched recently, and that's a really good movie. So

171
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>all the heretics are good as far as I'm concerned.

172
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 1>You want to watch a heretic, watch that movie, watch

173
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>this episode.

174
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, hell yeah, extorsist too, baby whoo.

175
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>The Heretic? Yes, what a trip bill?

176
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh god?

177
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, would be which ones we watched first? Do you

178
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>want to you gotta watch Exorcists two first? No, this first,

179
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>this episode, then Exorsus two, and then the actual movie.

180
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Heretic So all right, no, you know what, Actually, I

181
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>think you should do it in reverse. Okay, h I

182
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>think the actual good movie watch that first and just

183
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 1>get that out of your system, so then you have

184
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>no and then use talison of Dark Sign as a

185
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 1>nice sorbet, and then you can enjoy the ridiculousness, you know,

186
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 1>because it'll be late by then.

187
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Right, yeah, yeah, then you get to be brushed by

188
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 3>the wings of the locust.

189
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:36.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

190
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Man, you're gonna be punchy by then. Our next episode

191
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>is called A Serpent's Tooth. This is season three, episode eight,

192
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 1>aired originally on November sixteenth, nineteen eighty six. Written again

193
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 1>by Edith Swinson, this one is directed by Frank DePalma,

194
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 1>starring a Renee Taylor, Lewis Quinn, Joanne Willette, Brett Marx,

195
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 1>grandson of Harpo Marx, Bad News Bears Brett Marx, and

196
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Jared rush Jen. Yeah, Billy from Big Tom Hanks's little

197
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>friend from Big Is Oh right, Okay, I knew that

198
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>kid looked familiar, looks so familiar, right, Yep, Yeah, this

199
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>story is a fucking nightmare. It's about a controlling mother

200
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>who gains control of her children through supernatural means. I

201
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 1>can't think of anything more terrifying, Mike.

202
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:25.200
<v Speaker 3>This could have been so bad, but I ended up

203
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 3>loving it. I really loved it because this felt so

204
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Monkey's pa, you know, be careful what you wish for

205
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of thing, and I just I loved the way

206
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 3>that it twisted and the way that we get to

207
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 3>see the story progress. It kind of reminded me. I

208
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 3>made a reference recently to that Goodbye Goodbye Show, and

209
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of reminded me a little bit of that,

210
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 3>where it was like, and this little girl control who's

211
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 3>gonna die or not. But you get no doubt in

212
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.159
<v Speaker 3>your mind that Renee Taylor's character. You see the little

213
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>serpent tooth glowing and everything, and you're just like, oh shit,

214
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 3>you better be careful with what you're saying. And she

215
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker 3>just uses those phrases like crazy, those just harping on

216
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 3>everything and everybody, and that she was perfect, and I

217
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 3>thought that her kids were perfect, and I especially liked

218
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 3>the way that they tortured little Ritchie, especially when she says,

219
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to have a conniption fish.

220
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.919
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, that was.

221
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Great. This is so good.

222
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>This whole episode is like a psychotic Henny Youngman bit man.

223
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>And Yeah, what I really loved about it was what

224
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you're saying. The she's so cavalier with it. You would

225
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>think if you said a phrase and it caused someone's

226
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 1>face to freeze, the next time you said a phrase,

227
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>said anything while you were wearing that serpent's tooth, you

228
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 1>would probably choose your words.

229
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:55.799
<v Speaker 4>She didn't care.

230
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 3>No, well, I love too that. It's the whole thing. Mom,

231
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 3>you have to stop doing that. Our lives are a

232
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 3>fucking danger from you wearing that serpent's tooth. She puts

233
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 3>it away, and then the family starts to go back

234
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 3>to normal. Joe and will It starts wearing her hair

235
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 3>the way she was and wearing too much makeup and

236
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>all these things almost looking like my kid went punk

237
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 3>rock type of thing, and Mom can't take it, put

238
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 3>the serpent's tooth back on, and oh, that's really nice

239
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 3>because we usually have the whole Okay, I won't ever

240
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 3>use this again. They put it away, and then the

241
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.799
<v Speaker 3>episode is relatively over. But here it's just like, no,

242
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 3>my family really needs this. They need me to badger

243
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 3>them so good.

244
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, they keep defying expectations here this season. They where

245
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 1>I think the episode has ended, like you're saying, it

246
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>isn't there. They've always got something in reserve. And I

247
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 1>love that moment when she can't help herself, when the

248
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>daughter realizes. She's like, Mom, you could kill us very.

249
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 4>Easily with this thing.

250
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 1>And it is a fanto situation, right, Mom kind of

251
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 1>has a point, like you know, the kid, She's right

252
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.279
<v Speaker 1>in the end. That's the other fucked up thing because

253
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>once the kids have sort of their lives out, even

254
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>now they're doing what they want to be doing, they

255
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 1>have adhered to Mom's regimen, and that's what's getting them

256
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 1>over the hump. So it's, oh, it's like the end

257
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of the mist.

258
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 4>She was right all along.

259
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I know, gosh, yeah. I just love how

260
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 3>everything just goes berserk so quickly. I think it's the

261
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 3>we have one commercial break before she actually gets the

262
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.320
<v Speaker 3>serpent's tooth, and then once she does, the world just

263
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 3>goes wild so quick quickly as soon as she's If

264
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 3>you get to keep reading that you're gonna go blind.

265
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 3>And the next thing, you know, well, there's the sun

266
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 3>going blind. I'm like wow, okay, and then yeah, the

267
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 3>face is going to stick that way. And then what

268
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 3>was the last one that she does to the daughter. Oh,

269
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I can't even remember what she does to the daughter.

270
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 3>But then I love how she's got the talks about

271
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 3>how chicken soup cures everything, and then just she knows

272
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 3>that now she has a cure for all of their ales,

273
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.200
<v Speaker 3>and the way she's like jam at that turkey baster

274
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 3>into the kid's mouth and sporting the chicken soup inside.

275
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Poor Jared rushed and that's an appliance they put on him,

276
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 1>the fake tongue like over his mouth, that poor kid.

277
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 4>Oh I got to go on and being big.

278
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was so nice. And then you get to

279
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 3>see again where she's just oh, you're glowing. Oh wait, no, no,

280
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.120
<v Speaker 3>you're not glowing. You're not closing.

281
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that was the last thing with the daughter. Yeah, yeah,

282
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not sweating, you're glowing. Okay, you're not glowing Jesus correct.

283
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, from your mouth to God's ears. And then

284
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 1>you hear the heavenly noise and I'm like, oh, shit,

285
00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 1>what did she just do? Like I thought for sure,

286
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>like God was going to rain down thunder and lightning

287
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 1>onto her. But then I guess it's appropriate that she

288
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>ends up as a pillar of salt. Do I have

289
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to go back and reassess all of Edith Swinson's contributions here, Like,

290
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think.

291
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 3>So, because I was going back through her stuff and

292
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, yeah, these weren't very good. I don't know

293
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 3>what she's doing this season, but she's hit her stride

294
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 3>with these two.

295
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 4>I gotta wonder.

296
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I am at least going to go back and look

297
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 1>to see which ones were adaptations, because it seems when

298
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they're originals, I really like them. I like the way

299
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.000
<v Speaker 1>she thinks. But the adaptations maybe are bet I don't know.

300
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I just want her to be better.

301
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.639
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I don't know. She's still alive. She might be

302
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 3>because she's Yeah, she was only born in fifty three,

303
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 3>so she's younger than my mom. And she wrote and

304
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 3>she was still writing in twenty twenty two, wrote a

305
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.879
<v Speaker 3>movie called Brazen, So yeah, she's written a ton operation.

306
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 1>Get Edith Swinson. That's yeah, for season four, that's that's

307
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>our new mission. We're going to get her.

308
00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Joanne will Lett.

309
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I had a big old crush on she was on

310
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a TV series called Just the Ten of Us, which

311
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I started watching because I had a big old crush

312
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>on Heather langen Camp. But then I saw Joanne Wilett,

313
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.559
<v Speaker 1>and then Heather langan Camp fell by the wayside.

314
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 3>I could totally see that. Yeah, she was very adorable.

315
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 1>And I love that she came down and was dressed

316
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 1>like Madonna. Yes at the beginning. As a child of

317
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the seventies and nineteen eighties, I was thirteen when this

318
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 1>fucking episode came out. There were so many girls in

319
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 1>so many malls rocking that Madonna look. That took me back.

320
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>The kids today, they can't get it right. That was perfect.

321
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>So rabot Joanne.

322
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.920
<v Speaker 3>She really hit it very well. Yeah, I'm looking through

323
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 3>some of these photos of her on IMDb and the

324
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.640
<v Speaker 3>c that she was in a very well and I

325
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.200
<v Speaker 3>don't know how many years before after this Hill Street

326
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Blues episode was but like, oh, that more excuse for

327
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.119
<v Speaker 3>me to go back and do a rewatch of Hill

328
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Street Blues.

329
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen Hill Street. Plus, i think I've seen

330
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>two episodes of Hill Streepers. Another things being Roberts Blossom.

331
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Never seen Home Alone.

332
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Like I said, I just finally saw it last

333
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 3>year's for the first time, all the way through. I

334
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.599
<v Speaker 3>think we did leave before Home Alone two was over

335
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 3>those so I still haven't seen that one.

336
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:15.920
<v Speaker 4>What was your assessment of Home Alone?

337
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 3>Those people are so strange. I don't know how you

338
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.880
<v Speaker 3>leave a child behind, and I don't understand why Catherine

339
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 3>O'Hara her trip across the country took seconds shorter than

340
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.680
<v Speaker 3>all of the rest of the family coming back to

341
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 3>their house, so I don't know why she even left them.

342
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.839
<v Speaker 3>And I'm just yeah, the logic left a lot to

343
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 3>be desired.

344
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 4>Wow, I'm going to skip it.

345
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 3>Okay, good theme from John Williams, but that's like saying, oh,

346
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Era is very nice to breathe.

347
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Hey that Richard Pryor is real funny.

348
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

349
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 4>Hey anything more on Serpent's Tooth?

350
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 3>No, just Edith, please keep it up. Yeah, more episodes coming.

351
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:00.559
<v Speaker 3>I hope they're like this.

352
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe we're in this far into a season

353
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>three and we're not pulling our fucking hair out.

<v Speaker 4>First time everything.

355
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.359

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.279
<v Speaker 3>a second, this is another good episode. I'm just waiting

357
