>> It's one howl of a time. Hold on. I need to I need to Oh, I don't know. This is >> Yeah, they don't they don't tell you much. That's also I would argue that's not even really a werewolf, but let's cover that another time. Let's not go down that route.
>> James Jack Nicholson, >> he eats a deer.
>> Michelle Feifer uh bites the [ __ ] out of him.
>> Kind of like mom with the pork chops later in the movie. Spoilers, but >> it's possible. She >> She is a werewolf. It's in the title, guys. I don't think that's a major spoiler.
>> She went back to the paleo diet. Let's put it that way, >> right? Yeah. Vegetarian to paleo. Yeah.
She was moving up the the the uh what was I going to say? The ladder. The meat. What do they call the animal kingdom or some [ __ ] >> The food chain.

So, my mom's a werewolf.
>> Yes.
>> Okay. Not not your mom or my mom in the movie. Not your mom specifically, but the proverbial mother of this film.
>> I kind of love movie titles that just do that.
>> The titular mother.
>> I I married Married an axe. Murderer comes to mind. I don't know. Just like a just a saying.
>> My my stepmother's an alien. My demon lover. Yeah.
>> The stepfather. Does that count?
>> Said stepfather. I got activated. Sorry.
>> It's not like my killer stepfather.
>> True. True. I don't know. But I like that. I don't know. The my thing. It's just interesting. My my boyfriend's a zombie or what the hell was that one called? My boyfriend's back or >> My boyfriend's back. I was a teenage zombie is the is the other one.
>> Just a fun naming scheme to see occasionally. Big in the 80s or '9s.
>> My science project. I'm trying to think of all the ones. My pet monster.
>> I got you thinking, right?
>> Yeah. Uh yeah, there's a lot of those.
>> Uh this was one when you presented this to me. I'd seen the poster many times.
You have it lovingly uh posted in your kitchen at the moment.
>> Yeah, I did a I did a a poster swap for my kitchen and on up until recently it was Mondo Kane, too. And I figured, hey, um let me put something else in there.
>> I mix it up. get mom doing a little shave job.
>> Yeah. Um and speaking of the poster, um this is one of my favorite VHS covers um of all time. It I mean there, you know, you got people like, you know, they like Zombie and and there's like some really iconic VHS covers.
>> Bleeders. We always bring up >> uh Bleeders, especially like um the Wizard video covers are very notorious and and all those kinds of things. But I mean, this one is just like, come on.
You can't get any better than for a werewolf comedy.
>> Yeah, >> it's brilliant. You know what you're getting instantly.
>> You got mom, you got mom's sexy uh mil legs right there, but they're all they're all hairy and she's shaving them. And then you have, you know, the daughter and the the husband like, "Oh my god, my mom and my wife, she's a werewolf." You know, >> if you don't know, it's a comedy. I don't know what the hell you've been watching cuz their reactions sell it all to me.
>> It's perfectly describes it.
>> And what you don't see on there from the poster is also Ruth Buzzy. Yes. our our friend returning from the being and uh the the the side character also making comical screaming faces. So yeah, it's perfect.
>> It's like cropped for the for the for the for the tape. Yeah, >> this is one that is still not on DVD or 4K for that matter at this point. Like it it was never released on disc.
>> I was wondering how quickly we would get into that cuz I watched this on I think it was Amazon Prime streaming.
>> Yeah. Uh, it's on a few other places, but yeah, it's definitely VHS quality. I mean, it's a good ass rip for VHS quality, but yeah, I want at least DVD for this sucker, right? It looks pretty good. It might even be a laser disc rip.
>> Oh, it might. That might make more sense.
>> It might be. I'm not I'm not 100%.
>> I didn't see any scan lines. It look pretty good.
>> I mean, that's the one we're using to for the reference for the show that you're going to be watching on YouTube.
If you're watching on YouTube, it looked good for 43 independent film from 1989.
That looks solid. Yeah, but that that that print and that transfer is is better than the VHS for sure. So, I'm I'm thinking it's laser disc laser disc.
Now, I don't know what happened to the original film elements of this. There's really not too much stuff behind the scenes because it just doesn't exist. I don't think anybody I mean there might be something out there uh where somebody did a deep dive that I just did not come across.
>> You missed it or something. Yeah. Or were it >> on Yeah. Right. Well, like on like a blog or something or, you know, there's a lot of those uh people who um you know, do deep dives on these movies and they don't really get a lot of recognition for it.
>> Think Fangoria or Gorezone might have had something on it since they had product placement in this film. I don't know if it was a a proof product placement, but they both appear. I'm sure I don't I mean maybe it was covered in Fangoria, but it must have been like a little blurb about it because it's not really a horror film. No, >> you know, and even though it's a horror comedy, it's much more a comedy than anything else.
>> Big time. It's it's the horror is the window dressing or to get you in the door. Kind of like I mean, I was going to say mom because there's a lot of connections with mom in this movie, even though mom is actually way more serious.
We covered that a year or two back.
>> Uh yeah, I think yeah, Mom is definitely the more serious of the two movies, even though that has like a lot of black comedy.
>> It does, which this does, too. But I just Mom, there there's going to be some references. Brian Jones and John Saxon definitely know each other. Let's just leave it at that for now. Um, but yeah, go back and check that out for our That was also a Mother's Day episode. We didn't say that. This is our Mother's Day episode.
>> Well, I said it was a full moon on Mother's Day. Yeah, but No, it's all good. But it is Yeah, it's our Mother.
>> It's our Mother's Day episode for sure.
>> Uh, like you said, we didn't get to do Leprechaun this year, so god damn it.
We're doing Mother's Day. I We like to We do the fringe holidays that most people don't think about.
>> Well, once you get >> for movies, I mean, you got to you got to run with it, you know?
>> We already finished The Stepfather Ro, so Father's Day is not break. We're doing what we can. I'm sure there's still Killer Dad movies or some Oh, there's the remake of Stepfather if you're really uh itching. Joe, you can look right up there behind you. There's Invisible Dad. So, don't worry. There's plenty to do.
>> I actually think you've told me about Invisible Dad. There's even Invisible Mom.
>> There also is. There's two Invisible Moms and one of them has D. Wallace in it.
>> Well, movie dumpster season 10, 11, and 12. There's your future. It's all sorted out. Don't worry.
>> This one really needs, in my opinion, I it really needs the the physical media treatment, and I don't know why that is.
Whether it's the, you know, the original film elements uh are gone or locked up in a vault somewhere, you know, I really don't know. Now, you got to understand with all a lot of these old distribution companies like this one, Prism put this out, right? Uh Crown Pictures International, I think, produced it and then Prism uh put out the uh you know, distributed it. those companies liquidated like Wizard Video and Prism and uh AIP and all these different things, you know, media and um Canon and and all that [ __ ] >> So, it becomes like lost media, you have that a lot of problems. Less so with music, but with video games where it's like [ __ ] who owns this? We don't know.
>> Exactly. It's a rights thing, too. And um >> because there's not that there's not that many heavy hitters right now, like big production companies, right? So, a when when when a lot of these companies liquidated and and got bought up, um they were bought in batches by other companies, distribution companies to make a buck off of, right? I believe the Prism catalog now either it either resides with Lionsgate or Paramount. And I'm not exactly sure which one.
>> So, never going to get resurrected if it's either of them, honestly.
>> Not necessarily because Lionsgate usually plays nice with like Shout Factory.
>> Okay. and Paramount has been teaming up a lot with um Terra Vision and Vine and Vinegar Syndrome.
>> So, they've been kind of letting them crack into their their vault of stuff, for lack of a better term. So, um you know, I don't know how much interest is in My M's a Werewolf, but those companies were built on boutique.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> You know, they're they're getting less and less boutique, I guess. I mean, they released Congo for Christ sake. You know what I mean?
>> Well, that stuff was at theaters in the last 30 years. I feel like the further you go back, companies are weird depending on how big the movie was.
>> I know, but my point is like their mission statement was releasing, you know, uh >> Oh. Oh, yeah. I see.
>> Be movies and and Lost Gems and things like that. And I feel like this is ripe for the picking, you know what I mean?
>> Yeah, that does make sense actually when you put it that way.
>> I mean, it's just it would be a lot of fun to see. I mean, John Saxon's in it, you know what I mean? I mean, that's I think that's enough star power for >> Susan Blakeley was pretty big herself.
>> Yeah. And I think that's enough star power. Plus, she got the chick from uh Mac and Me and the other girl from uh >> from Friday. Was that seven?
>> Friday 7. Yeah. Maddie and Seven.
>> And Ruth Buzzy is in it. You know what I mean? So, like I feel like, you know, there's definitely interest for this. I feel like people are going to watch this episode and be like, "Holy [ __ ] I remember that. I remember that on cable." You know what I mean? It's definitely one of those without a doubt.
>> So, with that being said, talking about memories. So, this was your this was your first time with us?
>> Yeah, this is definitely one like I kind of alluded to that.
>> Have you heard of this before?
>> I definitely had heard of it. But again, the posters either when I seen the poster or the video at conventions. I don't remember if the video store, but definitely at conventions, horror conventions. So, it was uh one Joe had brought up many times over the years just being friends. Maybe not even on the show, but just you've brought it up.
>> I know. I' I know I've brought it up.
>> You had to have even quoted around me and it probably went right over my head >> or been like, "Hey, we should watch this."
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, it was a long time coming. It's just one of those ones.
Never got around to. And here we are.
>> There's a time and a place for everything.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And Mother's Day was it apparently. Mother's Day was it >> 2026.
>> So, uh, so yeah, man. I used to watch this a lot as a kid. It was I, you know, obviously I caught it on cable. It did get a theatrical run.
>> Okay. So, that's one of the little things that I could find about this.
>> That makes it more shocking that it isn't available in a higher quality, but it's happened before in the show.
>> We're not quite to the point yet where things the video the the the home video market is like that cash cow.
>> For how long did TV shows just tape over the recording? We're never going to use this again. Oh, well, >> and then it's like [ __ ] the market 30 years later.
>> What Well, what I mean by that is like uh we talked about it on the Lecon 3 episode about how uh places like Trimark were taking uh instead of doing them theatrically, they would do a theatrical run, but then they would make most of the money back on home video. Like it was a guarantee, right?
>> You were going to do Gang Busters, right? Great example.
>> Well, the first Leprechaun movie specifically on Leprechaun 3, we talked about it. This was um kind of right before that. So, we're still putting this out in the theater and then it's coming to home video. But the home video market is not that cash cow that it comes to be in the early to mid90s.
Right. Right. And even into the 2000s and then finally Burrough it eats its own tail and collapses. God, right? Um so, >> hence my problems with Paramount and [ __ ] all those other companies we were just talking about.
>> So, what would happen is it would go to home video, but you it would get the the the thing was TV, right? Yeah.
>> So, so like the rights for it would be shown on TV, whether it's like USA or TBS or some [ __ ] like that. Some, you know, you know, Saturday evening movie, family thing that you could show on TV.
And this is one of those movies cuz there's not like any gory anything like that in it. It's mostly comedy. So, like that's where I I think they might have picked up uh the loose change.
>> Yeah. No, I could totally see that.
There's really nothing too crazy in this >> sex things that they don't even see anything, >> right? But I think I think maybe that's why they didn't maybe there wasn't a lot of attention paid to like the the film elements or anything like that. It was just kind of like here's this lowbudget comedy thing. We it got limited theatrical release. We put it on tape.
We sold it to the TV. [ __ ] it. I'm done.
>> Right. Like yeah without getting deep deep into it. It's like oh well we filmed this in a month or less. It we're happy with it but it's done. Next project. Let's make some money on it. I mean that wasn't super uncommon.
>> That lent it to being on TV a lot.
>> Sure. Right. again, Susan Blakeley and John Sax and other stars. People were familiar with them.
>> Yeah. And you probably get people sit there, oh just John Sax and [ __ ] Let's see. I never heard of this.
>> And even John Shuck, you know, he's Yeah. The dad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So, yeah, I used to watch this on TV all the time and like I have like vivid memories like a vivid memory like specifically a core memory of sitting um on the floor cuz I always, you know, we all used to sit on the floor in front of our television. Crisscross applesauce.
Crisscross applesauce. But I used to have like a little um uh real Ghostbusters like metal tray that I used to like eat snacks and [ __ ] on.
>> You brought it up before. I love the visual. Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, we used to live in a townhouse when I was a kid and um there was a big opening under the stairwell. And in that space was this big ass console television that I brought off before and it was like it was huge. I mean, well, I mean, relatively large for the time >> for the time in your kid, >> which is like, I don't know what, like 40 in or something like that, which is gigantic. It was a [ __ ] 40in tube television inside uh a wood uh console, and that [ __ ] TV went all over the place with us. We had that for a long ass paid a lot of money for it. You weren't throwing that out easily.
>> But we had we had that TV from like when I was a baby till like uh in my teens, we had that television. Um, but uh, so I have a lot of good memories like watching Alf and [ __ ] like that. But I remember specifically this movie in that townhouse sitting on the floor and like the intro with the hey there little red riding hood, you know that song that they love to replay throughout the movie. I mean, I dig it. It totally works for this. It works for this, too.
Yeah. I just have like a very core memory of that. And I, you know, my mom always would have, you know, stuff on like this or like whether that's, you know, Freddy or Jason or Child's Play or My M's a Werewolf or Monster Squad or Kill the Clowns, you know, whatever. It comes back to It always comes back to my mother.
>> Oh, yeah. You know what I mean?
>> That was her saw. She was >> That was her saw. She always had it on.
And this was one we could kind of watch and I not get scared of.
>> Oh yeah.
>> You know, even though John Saxon's pretty scary in this movie.
>> Yeah. Well, when that mirror breaks towards the end, that that could get you right.
>> That could get you pretty good, especially as a as a young.
>> Yeah. Uh, kneeh high to a werewolf, I guess.
>> Yeah. I mean, kneeh high like >> you're little is the point. Shit's scary when you're that young.
>> So, over the years it's just been a staple for me. Um, and it was fun to come back to in my teens and then of course coming back to it now for the show. Um, you know, it's it was just it was it was a it was a [ __ ] straight like [ __ ] shot of nostalgia right into my arm and I was like, ah, it was like a warm blanket wrapping around me watching this. But yeah, man, there's not too much about this. Uh the director uh the director and the writer I have just like a little bit about which is just more interesting to me than anything. And uh the director is Michael Fischer. Um and he directed Death Spa and Crack House. And the writer is Mark Pira. Now um the only other writing credits he has are for things that he's also directed.
>> And the [ __ ] that he's directed I was like oh really like he directed these things. He directed uh Polish Vampire and Burbank >> uh Death Row Game Show which I was surprised about. Uh, Curse of the Queer Wolf, which might be a stay tuned for the episode for the show.
>> That's a sequel to this, obviously.
>> Yeah, exactly. Um, and Nudest Colony of the Dead. So, >> that's the only one I've heard of, and I think they reference that in this movie.
I think Stacy says that a couple times.
>> I think she does say that when they're at the when they're at the convention.
>> Have you heard Nerd Colony of the Dead?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's why that's in there now. That's why I'm like, "Oh, I've heard of that one. That was in the [ __ ] movie, Sean." So, that's pretty much it. don't have there there's not much I can't tell you much about this movie because the the the [ __ ] [ __ ] just does not exist. We'd have to do a deep we'd have to go track all these people down and get interviews with them to really get what was going on which I'm totally for.
>> I was going to say you're you're working >> I'm looking at you John if you're listening or watching right now.
>> You're working with John on that RL Ryan documentary. Maybe that's the next project Joe. Put it Put it in John's here. I guess he just did right.
>> Yeah, actually this is the first episode where I can talk about that. Yeah, we're working on a just sidebar real quick.
We're working on a uh John John Campapiano and myself are working on a documentary about RL Ryan or Pat Ryan as you might know him or Bob Ryan as some people might know him.
>> We've talked about him on this show a couple times.
>> He's miss he's Mayor Belg Goody in um the Toxic Avenger. He is uh he's in classic Nukem High. He's in Eat and Run.
He's in he's uh Mr. Schneider and Street Trash. We talked about him very fondly.
Um and that name of that documentary that is coming out next year. We're trying to get it out for next year. It's called He Came from Ridley Park, the RL Ryan story. So, keep an eye out for that. There's a there's a lot of cool things. We've we've been chatting with some really cool people. It's been incredible so far.
>> I'm excited about it, and I'm all about I'm all about like let's keep taking these deep dives and and I would love to get into some kind of film restoration, distribution, special feature producing thing. So, hopefully this this kind of swings that way because we I've talked about that for years.
>> Have for a long time.
>> So, so that would be really cool. But with that being said, um, let's get into let's finally get to My Mom's a Werewolf. Uh, do you want to do the plot crunch? You want me to do it?
>> Uh, since you had such a a large history, I'm kind of curious to hear your crunch.
>> Okay. Yeah. Lonely housewife, Susan Blakeley.
>> She's lonely. All right, man.
>> Oh, she sure is. Um, she, uh, ends up going out one day because her husband is ignoring her. And in this process, she goes to a pet store to get some flea collars for their dog. And uh Maro, Bardau, Marble, I believe. I thought it was Marbor that the cigarettes.
>> Marbo.
>> Marbo or >> Marbo the dog?
>> I don't know. I thought Marble maybe because of the color of her fur, but Marbo, I I have no idea. She ends up becoming entangled with John Saxon, who happens to be a werewolf and wants her as his werewolf bride to bear his werewolf children to continue his race.
>> His were mate. his were wear mate with his were kids and his warehouse >> and yeah and his were fence.
>> Keep it going. Where's David? Uh what's this [ __ ] I forgot his name. The guy from talking heads. David burn. Where is he?
>> How did I get here?
>> Yeah, exactly.
>> Yeah.
>> This is not my beautiful werewolf.
>> Yeah, >> this is not my silver cross.
>> Seriously, get that the [ __ ] out of here.
>> And the days go by. Werewolves howling at the moon. Anyway, >> full moon in the sky. Can we keep this?
Everyone's clicked off the video.
>> I mean, we could. Yeah, they're already goodbye. our views just tanked. Anyway, um >> Oh my god.
>> And that's about the size of it, actually. And and like and like her daughter is trying to figure out if she's cheating on her dad and like come to find out she's a werewolf and how do we stop mom from being a werewolf? You know, how do we save her?
>> She's basically actually the main character when you think about it. The daughter Jennifer.
>> Oh, 100%. Yeah.
>> I mean, the title of the movie, it's not I'm a werewolf, it's my mom is a werewolf. So, >> which they say multiple times towards the end they say it like four times.
>> This is definitely one of those drinking things. Every time you hear my mom's a werewolf TM, you got to [ __ ] take a shot when you watch this.
>> So, for like the first hour you're totally stone cold sober and then you get trash and then you just get [ __ ] trash.
>> You're like that neighbor.
>> It makes it makes the ending go down a lot better, right?
>> Um >> the neighbor line will be relevant later. Oh, yeah. There's a crazy neighbor.
>> So, we open up and we get introduced to Susan Blakeley. Um >> plays Leslie. Leslie Shraber, also known as Mom.
>> I call her mom or lesbian. I haven't decided yet.
>> The titular mom. Yeah. And uh she is a vegetarian. And she's It's like this whole intro where she's like bringing in these groceries and [ __ ] And she's a big She's like an oaf, you know? [ __ ] Tripping over the [ __ ] dog.
Yeah. Dog's got his head in the bag.
Classic typical dog or cat move.
>> Get out of the groceries. Um it's funny [ __ ] Like, you know, it's fine.
>> No one's helping her though, is the key point. visual storytelling.
>> Jennifer like goes inside and just like leaves her out there. She gets instantly on like the phone. Oh yeah, mom. Doors opens totally locked. Oh, by the way, dad's on the phone, mom. He's like, "Hey, how you doing? How's my little brand muffin?" And she's like, "You waiting for her big cucumber?" And you're like, "Oh, boy." Yeah. A little a lot of subtle uh sex jokes kind of peppered in here. Nothing too hard, but I was like, "Oh man, that slip under the sensors. Like a low budget [ __ ] movie." So, so a running gag through this movie is like mom's a vegetarian and she's always like making these like crazy like Betty Cocker conco concoctions that are like vegetarian based like I'm going to have uh spinach with cultured yak butter in on on a on a tostada or some [ __ ] >> Yeah. What was it? Some kind of seafood kiche kind of seafood kiche. Actually, it sounds pretty [ __ ] good. Like I I'm down for some yak butter kiche.
>> It sounded disgusting to me, but I'm glad you're going to have a good time.
I'll watch.
>> I I would at least taste it.
>> I would at least taste it. All right, that's fair.
>> But you know, she's also a werewolf, so like is there like hair and [ __ ] in there? Like that would [ __ ] me up. At this point, she's not. Otherwise, she'd be having some other [ __ ] in there.
Dropping some hair in my kiche.
>> Yeah, exactly. Um, but I love the gag, too. At first, you don't realize it's a gag, but as the movie goes on, you kind of realize it. Dad, dad, oh, I'm working late. But really, he just hates her [ __ ] cooking for 15 years. He's just I'm working late.
>> Sounds great, honey. Uh, sorry. I got to work late tonight. I got to hit the old Arby's drive-thru.
When he when he finally shows up, he's got the takeout bag, he like shoves it behind a pillow or something out of like eats it.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Good [ __ ] >> Uh we're also introduced to Jennifer Shaver who who you just said and she's played by Tina Casper. Um >> only thing I've ever seen her in was this. Did she have >> She's the She's the next door neighbor in Mac and Me.
>> Oh, that was the Mac and Me reference.
Okay. She's got a Wikipedia page that you can click on. So I didn't I didn't look further. I >> I think now she teaches dance or something like that. Yeah, >> that's still one we got to do. That's my list. It's just one of those things where >> the channel's always covered so it gets pushed off further and further.
>> It's one of those things where like we'll come back to it like down the line because I really do love that movie. I'd love to talk about it.
>> I don't know if I'd say I love it, but I I surprisingly like it. I feel like that's one you would think as a viewer like how does Sean like this one? I there's something about it, man. It's weird.
>> I don't care what you say. You know, it's the same thing about >> like Munchie, but I don't know.
Something about I don't like Munchie much at all, but whack to me. It's just silly as [ __ ] It's the same thing about Howard the Duck. Like it's a well-made movie and like you could say it's ridiculous. It's ludicrous. Uh there's some wacky [ __ ] in like Yeah. Like it's just a well-made movie and it's fun to watch. It's just a good time.
>> Don't go back and listen to what I had to say about Howard the Duck. [ __ ] That was so long ago. I need to I need to rewatch it. It's a good It's a good The consensus on that was like this movie isn't as bad as everybody says it is.
>> Oh yeah.
>> There's so much worse movies you could watch than Mac and Me or Howard the Duck. I% agreed.
>> Or even My Mom's a Werewolf.
>> This blows both of those out of the water. But anyway, so then we get introduced to Stacy Puba, who is Jennifer's uh friend, >> Stacy.
>> Yeah. Uh she's Diana Barrows. That's her name. And she's from Friday 7. She plays like the nerdy girl who like does who does herself up with all the makeup and then gets her [ __ ] head cut off. She can have like a date or something. It's been a while since I seen seven. Isn't that like the thing?
>> You know, it's that it's that like uh she's all that thing where like she's like the nerd and you take her glasses off and put some lipstick on her and all of a sudden she's pretty.
>> Okay. Yeah. One of those. Right. Uh, I love Stacy Puba in this movie. She's funny. I would totally date this [ __ ] >> Oh, well, I I am not surprised in the least that you say that because she is literally the horror convention uh stereotype.
>> She's the best.
>> For better or worse, >> she's the best. Pooa. She's the [ __ ] best, dude.
>> Cuz when you see her on screen in a few minutes, she is just decked out like in some kind of like ghoul outfit.
>> Well, that's what it is. So, so Jennifer leaves and meets Stacy at >> Killer Theater. uh Fangori Weekend of Horrors maybe because like um it's it's they they call it a sci-fi horror expo and like you got to understand like even then like in the late 80s I think Fangoria Weekend of Horror started maybe in the early 80s mid 80s I think.
>> Well they they mentioned at some point issue 43 so it's got to be fairly early on >> well they're talking about like famous monsters maybe Starlo or some [ __ ] which was around before Vangori.
>> Okay, fair enough.
>> I I think >> Yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying though. or it was like adjacent to. So, >> it looks cool though. Like, it still looks like a set, but it's dressed up enough that I'm like, I buy it.
>> Well, my my point I was trying to make was like this was still like a niche thing. Like, it wasn't, you know, you look at Monster Mania or Chiller Theater or NJ Horror Con or uh Monster Fest or or any of these huge uh uh horror conventions and like special effects conventions and stuff and like the [ __ ] just wasn't around or as popular. I remember going to a weekend of horrors on a Saturday, a fang, it was one of the last Fangoria weekend of horrors, >> and there was [ __ ] nobody there.
Speaking of which, I met John Saxon at that one. And I asked him about this [ __ ] movie. And I said, hey, John, do you know when My's a Werewolf is coming out? And he said, I have no idea. And that was it.
>> He's like, I filmed that a very long time ago.
>> Everybody's like asking questions about Nan Street and [ __ ] And I'm just like, oh, when's my mom's a werewolf coming out? He's like, "Where's the solitary Black Christmas band in this [ __ ] line?"
>> I know. THAT WAS BEFORE I had seen Black Christmas.
>> I know. That's another one. I feel like we talked about it so many seasons ago.
I feel like it's people talk about it more now, but even like 10 years ago, it's like Black Christmas, what is that?
And then they like three remakes and people finally looked it up.
>> I mean, I was still I was still a kid, so I didn't, you know, I didn't I didn't I wasn't super versed yet.
>> Not the fact that you knew about this, you probably maybe a little surprised even if you didn't see it.
>> Cuz I grew up with it. That's true. But yeah, it's just cool that they're at a high [ __ ] a horror convention. And Stacey's there and she's dressed up in her [ __ ] cape with her makeup and her fake teeth and stuff. And she's just like freaking out, dude. She's like, "Oh, could you lend me $150 for this collectible?
>> It's like a magazine." And Jennifer's like, "Are you crazy?" She's like, "Fuck that." Um, and she's like, you know, it's all like titles of stuff that's like atomic age horror stuff like like uh you know, Amazon Women on the Moon or you know, uh or cat people or >> zombies from Mars or some [ __ ] >> Yeah. like the the Zor the zombies of Mart Morata Tower or some [ __ ] you know? It's like stuff like that.
>> Uh B like Super B movie.
>> Super B movie. Yeah.
>> Mostly black and white and like some in color like from the 60s and stuff. But anyway, >> well, they see this big >> hammer horror. All that kind of [ __ ] >> Hammer. Yeah. They see the big display on the wall for Madam Gypsy. That's just her name.
>> Literally. Her name is Madam Gypsy.
>> I can't even change it. It would be your not her name anymore. Madam Romani.
Let's go in there with the [ __ ] special effects for the Blu-ray. We don't want to offend anybody.
>> That's all right. I'm just poking fun of myself because I brought that up many times.
>> You don't understand. That's her name.
>> I know.
>> That's her last name is Gypsy.
>> That's offensive. That's my [ __ ] name.
>> That's my name. Excuse me, Miss Gypsy.
>> My real name is Ruth Buzzy. Don't tell anyone. Comedian Ruth Buzzy. Um, she's always good in everything she does. This >> is funny. This is the second thing she's in. It's another lowbudget. Maybe she just did a bunch of these back to back.
>> She was a huge comedian in like the 70s or even the 60. I don't quote me on that. I think it's like 60s or 70s, but she was a big comedian. Almost >> has got a lot of [ __ ] uh you know like Bob New Hart stuff or like um uh what was her name?
>> Bob New Hart show literally.
>> Yeah. But but what's her what's her name? Uh I always forget it. Carol Bernett.
>> Okay. Same same ballpark there, you know. Um so she was a big comedian and then I guess towards the end of the 80s like she started doing like bit parts of stuff cuz she's in Jackie Kong's The Being which we covered.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's why I keep bringing it up.
>> Yeah. So she's in that as like the mayor or some [ __ ] She gets run over or something by the monsters.
>> I think she gets I don't know. I can't remember. so long. Go back.
>> Not to keep saying that. It's like an old joke we used to say. Go back down the catalog. But this she's a fortune teller just like uh the the Wolf Man.
>> The Wolf Man. It's literally a furbatim Wolf Man reference. It kind of works for the satire that the movie is trying to show.
>> I think it's funny as hell.
>> I also love that on the sign. Five bucks.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, it's 10 bucks.
>> The price goes up every time she has a new customer. That was hilarious.
>> I think by the end of the MOVIE SHE'S LIKE $30. It's And I'll tell your future.
>> She knows what's going on. She knows how to make some money.
>> Um, you know, she's she's she like cons them out of the money cuz like she's like sitting on their purse and like where's my purse? I don't know.
Jennifer, can I borrow 10 bucks? Her Brooklyn accent keeps coming out under the uh whatever voice she's trying to do.
>> I don't know. A Romanian, I guess.
>> Yeah, she's trying. She's trying. Well, again, Madam Gypsy. Uh I saw Wolf Man once at least.
>> So, she's looking into her crystal ball.
She's got two of them. She has a crystal ball and she has a [ __ ] eye of the storm T on this side. Yeah. Yeah. I used to have one of those.
>> Put your fingers on it. Yeah.
>> Holy [ __ ] my hair. And she must be mad.
>> And she's like, I see the pentagram, the mark of the of the dog. Do you have a dog?
>> No. She just is thinking about Rickyo.
Actually, the anime specifically.
>> Oh, is that what it is on his hand?
Yeah.
>> You know, Jennifer's like, "Well, I thought you were going to tell me like some tall, dark, and handsome guy is going to take me on a trip." And she's like, "No, no, no. There's a there's two animals and they're going there's a big feud that's going to happen, and it's very bad news. Uh, I hope you don't die.
Goodbye. And Stacy's like, "Oh, she must mean Ralph. This guy I'm [ __ ] obsessed with is going to take me to the Halloween party." Oh, by the way, it's a Halloween movie.
>> Ralphie. Oh, trick or trash is here. Joe in May. Well, here here I I got one for you. It's halfway to Halloween, baby.
Everybody's pushing their halfway to Halloween sales and [ __ ] >> Oh, what they call von Hergage night or whatever.
>> Werg Yeah, that just passed.
>> W Per just knocked. Um, but uh, My Werewolf is not only Mother's Day movie, but it's a halfway to Halloween movie, too. So, we just killed two birds with one.
>> I'll take it.
>> Yeah, we killed two werewolves with one >> silver bullet. Silver fork. So, they leave and then, you know, Ruth Buzzy pulls the pepperoni off her nipple. It was It was a fake nipple, Joe.
Obviously, that third nipple. It was pepperoni.
>> Oh, it's a M rats reference. Come on, keep up.
>> Usually they love that third nipple.
Yeah, >> but the other the next customer comes in, this is the first time she ups it more. Oh, that'll be 20 bucks. And she tells literally the exact same fortune.
So you're like, "Oh, I thought she was a fraud, but she had me there for a second. Oh, no. She's full of shit."
>> This Jack Nance looking creep [ __ ] comes in and Yeah. Not even. He's got like his He looks like a racer head. He's got his He's all [ __ ] up. He's like, he's sitting there like, "Yes." And she's like, "A tall, dark, and handsome stranger is going to take you on a trip." And he's like, "I can't wait.
>> $20, please." Yeah. So, we cut back to uh Susan Blakeley's on the couch and uh she's got a news report on >> and she's reading the newspaper and you hear these uh reports about uh animal attacks in the area. I love the newspaper clipping though cuz if you read that [ __ ] it's like talking about basically what the news is saying.
There's been animal attacks in town. A bunch of people are dead or injured and it's like this drawing of clearly a [ __ ] werewolf >> and the mayor and the mayor and they're like, "Yeah, wow. This is that they said they saw. We We don't know." said it looked like a cross between a dog and the mayor. I don't know. Wolf man.
>> It's Harry. He came out of the woods looking for the [ __ ] Henderson.
>> Lul Lamont the werewolf that >> um >> by the way just just cuz we got to we got to button this up right now. Uh this is the MDU of course. Um >> right movie dumpster universe >> and Jennifer and her family live in the same neighborhood as the kid from Step Monster. So, right down a couple houses down, Amy Dolan's taking off her clothes and the Trapopkins moving into down there with Allan Thick.
>> And we know how the MDU works. I mean, I already invoked him, so it was inevitable. If if the step monster exists, so does the stepfather. I mean, you just need a couple of words to be adjacent to each other to be in the same universe.
>> Terry Quinn's right up the He's up the other road. He's one street over and a and a couple houses down the other way.
Kim Bay Singer is a is a step alien.
>> That's true. And again, because we already referenced it, go down the [ __ ] pier down what was that? San Diego or some [ __ ] The [ __ ] vampires are hanging out.
>> Oh, that's right. Yeah, Grandpa's down there.
>> Yeah. Grandpa knows all about >> It's all the same neighborhood, man.
>> In fact, there's some old people that know about werewolves. So, hey, [ __ ] All the old people are the experts here, apparently.
>> Yeah. So, uh Howard Schaer comes home.
We're introduced to John Shuck. Um >> that's dad, by the way.
>> That's dad. And, um >> the takeout bag.
>> Yeah, the takeout bag you were talking about. No, I I only the only other movie I know him from is uh Demon Knight. Who the hell is he in Demon Knight?
>> He's the sheriff in Demon Knight. Has a [ __ ] hole punched through his face by Billy Zayn.
>> Oh my god, I haven't seen it in a while.
>> Yeah, but he also plays Herman Monster.
Yeah, that was kind of crazy trivia cuz I think I said to you, "This guy kind of reminds me of Herman Monster." You're like, I think he literally played it.
And I looked it up and I was like, holy.
>> I was like, that's right. And thank god you remind me cuz I was I knew there was something else that he was in and I was like, holy [ __ ] I mean, you could totally imagine it as soon as you know that, right?
>> Not that that was great, but [ __ ] it.
Monsters in the 90s is better than Rob Zombies attempt.
>> I like John Shuck. I think he's fine.
>> He was totally fine. Not the best actor, but when he's got to bring out the comedy chops, he nails it every time in this movie. He's funny as hell in this.
>> You can't top Fred Gwin. I mean, let let >> Well, right. Well, in Monsters, no [ __ ] candle to [ __ ] on the floor like difference. I'm saying in this, I don't think he's the best actor, but when he needs to be funny, he's very funny.
>> Oh, he's a trip dude. I I love his I love his uh cadence and the way he handles things. It's just kind of like a blasoise attitude which I kind of enjoy.
>> Which which kind of burns him cuz his wife is sick of it. He kind of picks up on that about halfway through the film.
Oh [ __ ] Maybe I should actually care about my wife. Whoops.
>> And he's like, "Yeah, yeah." He comes in with the the [ __ ] uh fast food bag.
She's like, "I got some keystray." He's like, "That's great, honey. I'm good."
And then he like falls asleep like talking to her. She's like, "Oh, we don't have any excitement in our life.
We need to go do something." And he's snoring. Let's get out. Let's Let's get that spark back. You know what I'm saying?
>> Susan does that great kind of look to the side like that you see sometimes like ooh.
>> So it's the next day. It's Saturday. So instead of like spending time with his wife or like [ __ ] his wife, he decides to have every all the guys over for football, >> which okay something, but he's he's being an [ __ ] about ignoring her.
She's asking her asking him a question.
He's just like, "Oh yeah, you'll go to the store for me." She's like >> She goes to ask him a question. Me like and she like hand he like hands her the beer can.
>> Oh, that's what it is. Get some more.
>> Oh, thanks. She's pissed.
>> He's not He's not like a dick. He's just like oblivious.
>> Oblivious.
>> That's the whole point, though.
>> I mean, he is he is himself a bit of a stereotype of the time, but it works well. So, Leslie Leslie's all pissed and she leaves uh to go to the store, and we get like a little bit here where like, >> well, Jennifer, don't forget the flea collars.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Marr this later. Marbo, we need the flea collars. They has to make sense of why she goes to the pet store. So, um, well, like it does actually. I would I would have been questioning that [ __ ] otherwise. Jennifer and Stacy are talking about like how Jennifer's parents' relationship is on the rocks and like her dad ignores her and like they're going to they're trying to think of a plan of like something to help help them get back together or like not be so estranged from each other. So, they come up with this brilliant plan to follow her mom downtown because every Saturday she goes shopping, she eats lunch at this one specific place and does all this [ __ ] Right.
>> It's a stalker. Yeah, that's our plan.
Well, well, the idea is to find out where she's gonna be >> and make sure she's at the restaurant because they're gonna buy her flowers and then say they're from her father, right? Give it to the Mater D or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. I also want to comment on Stacy. This is like literally I guess it was made in 1989. Sean, why what are you trying to say? Pulled out of the 80s. She's wearing a literal Blossom [ __ ] outfit. She looks like Blossom, >> dude. It was in It was in style.
>> She's got the [ __ ] hat with the with the flower and everything.
>> I love how she goes from like conservative to like sexy. just to just pointing out like the Blossom look and all that stuff, but like she like starts to become like 80s sexy when she when she becomes a werewolf.
>> I mean, I was specifically talking about Stacy when I me when I mentioned Blossom, but you're right, like the conservative kind of down to earth, doesn't have a wildside mom, and then yeah, by the end she's like listening to heavy metal. She's got sunglasses on, leather jacket.
>> By the way, Susan, [ __ ] Sam Ramy saw this. He's I'm going to use a Spider-Man 3. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. By the way, I don't know if you missed this, but like Susan Blakeley is [ __ ] boobing when when uh when she's reading that newspaper. That's why I was like, "Oh, dude, your mom's a werewolf, dude. For sure."
>> That was the first sign.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> But yeah, that tit is just hanging out.
And she's like >> she's she's hot. She's hot. And she keeps like getting she keeps like showing more of herself throughout the movie.
>> That dad notices she's totally in.
>> Drives him wild. you making me into a wild animal >> which has a lot of good gags. Kind of reminds me a little bit I meant to mention this earlier. Uh my demon lover a little even down to the vegetarian angle.
>> Oh, big time actually. Yeah, that parallel >> cuz I I feel like it's again we're talking about movie dumpster universe. I feel like we haven't talked about Ascension in a very long time and spoilers, no one really dies. Well, I'll take that back. They don't die in the movie. So, like that's in the Ascend, per se, but they could have maybe started out as >> uh Shelly and the demon guy. I don't [ __ ] remember his name. Howard, let's just say. And now they're older. He used to go by Cass. Now he's Howard. No longer a demon. He got fat.
>> I mean, it's football now. He got rid of the mullet.
>> I'm going to button that up a little bit later.
>> He's not [ __ ] a vampire anymore.
>> I I think uh I think there's there's there's a through line with this later.
>> I'm just saying we haven't connected dots that don't exist in a very long time. Probably it's going back to like season two with Gunnar Henson to to Draaniac. I'm just saying it's a possibility.
>> Blonde. They have the same kind of haircut. Vegetarians.
>> It's possible. Yeah, they might be sisters.
>> Oh, there you go. Actually, I like that.
There you go.
>> [ __ ] >> One's a demon, one's a werewolf. There you go.
>> What a family.
>> Yeah, one wolf's family.
>> I like it.
>> Yeah, we just buttoned it up. I don't even need to hear more.
>> So, she makes her stop at uh Cassad Pets, >> right, for this flea collar and she's like, "Flee collar? I forgot flea collar." So, she goes in and it's just a weird it there are like these weird uh scenes in this movie that feel like almost like like nightmarish or like uh almost like they're like Lynchian kind of.
>> Yeah, I I'll reference another movie. Uh PeeWee's Big Adventure kind of Big Adventure kind of. I think they even stole some sound effects from that [ __ ] movie. If not the Playhouse show for sure.
>> And not so not I mean this is one of the less extreme ones but it is just a weird scene. It leads into the what I'm referring to when first John is introduced and then there's a weird scene I'm talking about.
>> Well, right, but like there's like some weird [ __ ] like in this place.
>> It's not just like regular animals.
That's what I mean by that.
>> It's like exotic animals.
>> A lot of them are in the back. But yeah, >> a lot of them are in the back, but like there's there's like something that like runs across the floor at one point.
>> I think that's supposed to be John Saxin in his wolf form.
>> No. Get the [ __ ] out of here.
>> That's how I read it. Cuz he it runs right to the area he sits. sits up in what if they never show that again?
>> Dude, you think that's true? Like I was a mini wereolf, right?
>> The werewolves in this when they finally show it like at the end they look [ __ ] amazing. But this isn't a movie about a lot of transforming like look at his eyes and his fangs and that's pretty much it.
>> They also implement like uh vampire stuff to this like hypnotizing and things which which we'll get to in a second. But but like now that now that now that you mentioned it, like I it crossed my mind, but like maybe that is because if we're incorporating some of that vampire lore and kind of mixing it up like a cocktail with the werewolf, like maybe he can turn into like a smaller shape-shifting.
>> John Saxon is [ __ ] Dracula in this movie. Just straight up.
>> I mean, yeah, he's Dracula, >> but he eats a bowl of garlic and drinks [ __ ] holy water.
>> Besides that, he's Dracula. He's [ __ ] Dracula. Uh, but yeah, he pops up out of nowhere and he's got these sunglasses on and that's why instantly they got Brian James had the same [ __ ] outfit in mom. The sunglasses >> and technically he's red eyes.
>> Technically, uh, Brian James is a werewolf >> of some kind >> of some kind in mom.
>> Mom that and plus relative being turned into a monster element all that was a more serious film. But >> he's a cousin.
>> There's a lot of relations in this filming out. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's that's the other sequel we never got.
sequel.
>> Cousin Vinnie's in there somewhere.
>> I guess Joe Peshy the Vampire.
>> Oh, now I'm mad we never got >> Imagine if we got a Joe Peshy a vampire movie or Joe Peshi werewolf movie. Now you're making me mad we never covered the [ __ ] super after 10 years. Damn it. It's on the shelf over there, man. I like that movie. It doesn't turn into a Maybe it does. Maybe we'll get to it.
Maybe you don't know. You haven't seen a lot.
>> It's possible. So John Saxon is Harry Thropen.
>> Throper.
>> Throper or thropin. Throen throen in the I don't know. That was a bad joke. Deep throing.
>> Deep throing. There you go.
>> She's about to be deep thro. Yeah. But again, he like puts the sunglasses down.
Hey, look at my red eyes. But he's got fangs, >> right? The whole time.
>> He's got fangs the entire movie. Like can like like bitching canines. He looks like [ __ ] Tom Arnold in in Big Bull with that [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah. With that big fang.
>> They just need a glycerin like like ding.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> But yeah, he's wearing sunglasses all the time. Um now his eyes change.
They're red for the most part, but maybe they just couldn't maybe there was an issue with the context or something.
Maybe John Saxon had an issue with them, but they're yellow a few times. I was kind of wondering about that.
>> Well, they're they're they're like wild eyes, right? And and clearly he can like hypnotize people when he looks at them.
He hypnotizes Susan Blakeley for a second and she's like, "Is there anything I can get for you?"
>> She's like collars. And he's like, "Oh, they're on the house."
>> Gives her like 10 of them. Like how many [ __ ] dogs does she have?
>> She got one. I guess this dog got a lot of fleas. She doesn't say no.
>> Compliments of the house. And then she leaves and then he eats a [ __ ] mouse.
>> Yeah, classic turn the head to the side move. Hey, but some way to save some budget, right?
>> But he turns back and the tail's hanging out. He like chews it up. And I also I also remember that scene specifically cuz John Saxin freaked me out as a kid when I saw this movie.
>> He plays it well.
>> He plays a weird He's a weird >> He's very creepy.
>> He's very creepy in this.
>> Uh and then just for plot convenience sake, mom gets her purse snatched and like thank god a bunch of other people did try to stop this guy. Like why is everyone just standing around? Usually in these kind of situations in movies, it's like four or five people like trying to punch this guy in the face.
>> Dude, I love when they're in the when he runs through the [ __ ] car wash.
>> Yeah.
>> And that dude goes to punch him and like punches the other guy.
>> Oh, that's like out of Bug's body.
>> Pretty [ __ ] great.
>> But John Saxton takes this as an opportunity to like impress her and he runs down the street. He's running full sprint. I guess he turned into a dog again or something.
>> I don't know. He's awolf. He's Dracula, right?
>> He's got that Mario van Peele strength.
>> Oh yeah. What? From my Full Eclipse or something.
>> From Full Eclipse. Yeah. Well, he's on the >> He looks more like a werewolf than Van Peoples did in his film, but >> he's on the werewolf squad. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Oh god, they're they're going headtohead.
>> He [ __ ] lifts this dude up and like throws him across the street into like an egg truck. That was crazy. They come out like, "What the [ __ ] are egg craz?"
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they just leave that kind of there. And she's like, "Thank god you got my purse. Oh my god, that was so brave."
>> Oh jeez, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
>> And he just walks away without saying anything and she's like, "All right, well thanks." Well, speaking of stalking, she like goes to have lunch at her favorite place and he just like shows up there and like sits next to her, >> right? I'm joking about the daughter and her friend, but that is legitimate stalking. I guess he was just smelling her and just Oh, there's her scent. And there's a there's a Oh my god, he's smelling something, right?
>> Yeah.
>> The juice.
>> He is sh see what shakes loose.
>> Sex juice.
>> So, I could just like >> I mean he's a wolf and smelling pherommones or something, right?
>> I know, right? But like what if there was a scene with John Snackon like just sniffing around by her ass? Like that would be pretty funny.
>> Oh, they saved that for Twilight. Hell Loger was doing that. Like we we'll use this in a movie eventually.
>> Edward can't handle the men.
Get away from me.
>> That's actually a plot point. I'm not making that.
>> Oh my god.
>> I'm good. Um after this many years, you don't want to go back.
>> I don't want to go back. I sat through it. I endured it and that was it. I'm good enough. So there's another bunch of little jokes here like she's a vegetarian and he orders steak tartar and all this [ __ ] Um and he's like and he like takes out like plastic silverware and he's he's like I never use silver. It uh it taints the taste of things. What does he say?
>> That's a good excuse. Silver bad for werewolves. It ruins the taste of things and I like to taste it between my teeth.
>> And I'm like okay.
>> Well, more sexual innuendo there. Yeah.
Yeah. But the daughter like you've been kind of setting up here comes in. She sees her with the flowers ready. These are going to be from dad. But now she's like, "Fuck, mom's having an affair."
Well, I don't really blame her dad.
>> I love how Poopa's like, "Ah, it's just a friend." And then like he starts like licking her [ __ ] hand.
>> Well, she kissing it then licking it.
She's like, "That grip's licking my mom's hand."
>> He's like, "That pervert's licking my mom's hand.
>> Pervert." She's like, "Well, you know, dad won't even hold it." So, am I really that surprised? I'm like, "Dad, you are a [ __ ] puss."
>> I know. So, she's complaining about Howard and stuff. And then John Sax just like stops her and starts [ __ ] like mouth kissing her in this restaurant.
>> Hypnotizes her first. But yeah, full mouth.
And Stacy, she's like, "I'm I'm a married woman." And he keeps kissing her.
>> Stacy and Jennifer are just like, "Well, I guess that's that's the deal." They [ __ ] leave. And uh they're like, "All right, well, we're going to keep we're going to keep spying on them because uh they bring out the food." And I had to look this up. I guess this is in the lore of werewolves that they're afraid of fire. Is that a thing that you've read? Because the food is, you know, get some dishes at a restaurant, they'll be with flames on it for show. Yeah.
>> And he goes, "Ah." He runs off.
>> Well, well, this one was weird for me, too, because like I don't think it's on fire.
>> It is. It's lit up.
>> It is. Oh, she has Well, she has a dessert, so I guess maybe it's like a baked Alaska or some [ __ ] >> Something to that effect. It's more for show, I think. I don't know what the [ __ ] she orders. I don't know what the [ __ ] she orders exactly, but um he's like Yeah. He's like totally grossed out by it and like just like literally gets up and runs out of the restaurant and like you see him running down the [ __ ] street >> literally running and they give her the bill. She's like, "What the fuck?" Yeah.
He orders like a [ __ ] uh a bottle of Keianti from like 1975 or some [ __ ] >> on the steak and everything else. Yeah.
>> Yeah. What? He's like, "I'll pay for it." And then just [ __ ] dines and dashes. Well, like I said, then Jennifer and Stacy follow him. And mom's charging down the street like, "Oh, that son of a [ __ ] to mess with me. They're like, "All right, we got we got to confirm this." Like, we saw them making out, but we need to just make sure it's not more than that or something.
>> We're going to sneak in the back door and try to like watch them, right? Yeah.
Through this tiny ass [ __ ] window.
>> So, in the >> I think Michael Myers is about to walk up and look at Jamie Curtis.
>> Dude, in the back of Casad Pets is like >> This is what I was talking about earlier. This [ __ ] troll or pee-wee location. It's like the [ __ ] animal kingdom back there. There's like giant It's like a forest. It's like It's like a jungle, man. Bill of Carol's running around. Elaine Bennis is there. Sunny Bono's in a pod. That's where That's what happened.
>> Harry Potter's trying to defeat something. I forget. There's little beasties singing in the background.
>> But the Pee-Wee sound effects, too. You can keep hearing that like the the prehistoric sounds.
>> Yeah. Or like when he's in the dark in that one.
>> There's a parrot in there. There's a [ __ ] monkey. Monkey in a cage. What is he What is he doing with that? Yeah.
>> Is he going to eat the monkey?
>> It's his his friend is Bubbles. His friend Bubbles.
>> He's also got a huge tarantula that scares the [ __ ] out of him.
>> It turns out that that's the monkey from Monkey Shines.
>> Oh no. I think that was actually a chimp. But I like the connection you're making.
>> The monkey from Monkey Shines was like one >> was like a Macau like that.
>> Yeah, it was like not a Macau, but like >> I don't know why monkeys.
>> Uh Mac Mau.
>> Maybe Macau.
>> Maybe Macau. That's about my spider monkey. The one that causes the outbreak and outbreak TM. So they're watching like she walks through this [ __ ] jungle and then John Saxton walks up to her and starts hypnotizing her and he's like >> he's like I want to make love to you and she's like okay I'm going to need a couple drinks first. She she [ __ ] shoots down this martini dude. Then he puts goldfish in. She flips it behind her. Funny visual gag. You want another one? She's like without the fish this time.
>> Without the fish this time.
>> And then he takes his [ __ ] shirt off.
John Ty's like [ __ ] it. I haven't worked out in a while guys. Hope you don't get too shocked by this. This hairy [ __ ] dude. He is just like I mean he's in he's in all right shape, but he's like just this burly dude with like [ __ ] hair covered.
>> Dad bod mode.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, "Oh, you hairy little devil. You >> only only devil, ain't you?
>> If only she knew, Joe."
>> So he's like going down on her and like again like they're watching.
>> HOLY [ __ ] >> AND THEY'RE WATCHING. SHE'S LIKE, "NO, I got to finish watching my mom get eaten out by John Saxon." Well, that was the initial thought until she he went full Sarantino on the toes.
>> Well, they get busted by a cop and they get taken away.
>> They get taken away. They're like, "What are you doing? Watching your mom have sex? Get in the cop.
>> The contact lens."
>> Yeah, right. He knows. He's like, "I was watching earlier. I know." So Susan Blakeley is just kicking it, getting getting some [ __ ] mung tongue and like John Saxon goes down to her feet like you said. Yeah. He goes full Quenton Tarantino and starts sucking on them toes like wiggle your big toe in my mouth. Yeah. And he gets like I think she gets startled or jumps or something.
>> No, he's like gnawing on her toe and then she's like, "Oh, that kind of hurts. Ah, stop." And he [ __ ] bites her big toe. It's just like It's >> Don't ask for this guy to ever give you a [ __ ] It's just like Once Bitten when once her face goes down on Jim Carrey and instead of sucking his dick, she bites his inner thigh.
>> Right. Another comedy movie. Comedy forward. For sure.
>> Yeah. I forgot that's how he gets it.
Yeah.
>> My best friend's a vampire. There you go.
>> Yeah. Same thing in that. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. It was a trope at the time cuz it's like directors or writers are trying to figure out, well, how can we do this without the obvious bite on the neck? And so that was, you know, a lot.
I feel like we've even covered one or two that did something like that or a zombie bite. I like it. Uh, it's just funny too cuz when they show this toe later and it's like engorged like something out of a Sam Ramy movie. They cut that off.
>> Yeah. This [ __ ] thing needs to be amputated.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I've expected like a claymation scene with the puss to come out of it or something.
>> Oh, dude. Like Lionel's mom's arm.
>> Literally. She's like, "Ah, yeah. My toe. I stubbed it." She tells Jennifer later it's this purple [ __ ] like potato.
>> It looks >> That's what it looks like.
>> It looks disgust. Yeah, those little mini potatoes. It's gross. Um, so Jennifer's like, "Oh, I know you're cheating on dad and blah blah blah." And she's like, >> but she doesn't remember because part of the I guess the hypnotism >> she's like, "You're going to forget this Leslie Shaba."
>> I guess he's Dracula werewolf man.
>> Forget forget everything that happened until I tell you to remember.
>> I have all the powers of the universal monsters. Yes.
>> He's pretty. I mean, he's John Sax.
Maybe he just had those. Anyway, >> it's it's monster madness, Joe. I have no idea. I love this gag, too, because Jennifer goes in to see her dad and he's like crying, >> right? Yeah. Cuz mom would admit it, right?
>> Cuz mom would cuz mom wouldn't admit it.
And he's she's like, "I know, dad. I know it's so terrible. She didn't He's like, "How could she do this to me?"
After 20 years, it finally happened. I finally got A [ __ ] STEAK DINNER, BABY. AND IT'S LIKE, it was just a such a good guy.
>> Yeah. Cuz you think Jennifer told him no.
>> And she's like, "Ah, all right, Dad.
Whatever."
>> Yeah. And he's It's like roast beef or some [ __ ] >> Yeah. I thought it was a steak myself, but he he says, "Oh, it's like unbelievable roast beef honey." And she's upstairs putting perfume on cuz now it's like werewolf [ __ ] starting to take over.
>> She's got her sexy [ __ ] uh lingerie on. I'm like, "Whoa, Susan Blakeley's bringing the goods."
>> She's got the venom, Joe. So, >> my mom's a werewolf.
>> Yeah.
>> Or a Venom or something. She's black.
She's wearing the black [ __ ] >> She's just She's She's evil. She's sexy.
>> Yeah. Sexy.
>> The temptress of w kiki. I don't know.
So dad comes up with might as well have a [ __ ] ham bone in his hand. He won't stop jerking off about this.
>> He's like, "Oh my god, [ __ ] Ros had mom's throwing her again." Talking about her titties hanging out. She's like, "Oh honey, >> come come get me doggy style."
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> He gets into bed and she's like chewing on his neck just about.
>> And then he's like, "Oh, Leslie. Oh Lely." And then they just [ __ ] have rockus animal sex all night. The dogs eating the rest of the roast beef off the plate while they're howling like moaning. Oh. It's so funny cuz she's like Howard and and HE'S LIKE OH YES. OH YES. A children's film by the way.
>> So [ __ ] I mean aam family quote unquote.
>> My god I love it. It's just I was like huh. What was this rated but that's one of those things like you would watch I'm joking.
>> I know but that's one of those things you'd watch as a kid and like you're with your parents and they're like they're just they're just I don't know kissing or something like that.
>> They're just excited to be together >> while the dog's eating the roast beef if you Right. Yeah. Exactly. So there's so later they're they fall asleep and John Saxon is now now he's a hag.
>> Yeah. Well, no. Well, right. He's like A [ __ ] DREAM DEMON.
>> He's like Freddy Krueger. He's like influencing her dreams.
>> He's got every power, man. Monster madness. Keep saying it.
>> That's the thing. He's like no Fatu or some [ __ ] >> He's something.
>> Yeah. He's got compound V injected in from the boys. You never know what's going to come out.
>> So So he's like putting this dream into her head and he's like chasing her in her dream.
>> This part was so cool. like the way it was directed, >> but this is like one of those scenes that's like totally out of >> something else almost.
>> It's like otherworldly for this comedy movie to have it in there. And again, even I didn't mention before, but even the score to this movie, it's great.
>> It's not corny. Like, it's good.
>> There's a couple moments where it gets into circus music territory.
>> Oh my god, I was going to say there's no circus music.
>> I think 95% of it is not. There's like one or two. And usually it's when it's trying to to uh rip off another uh song.
let's say specifically when we get to the dentist scene.
>> Oh yeah, but that's hyper specific to what they're going for.
>> Um, >> so the music's good though.
>> Yeah, but so she has this dream and like John Saxton turns into like this monster chasing her which is crazy and but it's not a werewolf. It's like a it's like a ghoul monster thing.
>> Although this also has the silliest shot in the whole movie when they're running down the hallway and John Saskin's running like >> that looked horrible.
>> It looked horrible because they weren't actually running >> and it's like why did you shoot it that way? inserted into this amazing dream sequence. Like this terrible shot takes you so out of it.
>> And then he's just like >> like mini jogging, >> not even trying with the sunglasses on and a tracksuit.
>> Yeah. So she wakes up. She's like, "It was your nightmare. I'm having a nightmare."
>> Well, he goes, "Well, I look like this."
And his face changes to like some disgusting thing. She's like, "Ah, yeah." But she wakes up and Howard is sitting next to his bed and she's like, "Oh, I'm having a nightmare." And he's like, "You're having a nightmare, huh?"
And uh she's like, "Wait, I'm having a nightmare." Ah, his face >> and then he turns into the monster.
>> That was a great double double fake out.
>> And like from now on she thinks she's having a nightmare the whole time cuz she wakes up and she looks in the mirror and her she's got [ __ ] fangs and there's and her ears are growing now.
>> Dad's like, "Oh, you sleep in, baby. You you wore yourself out." She's got like looks like a hanger. Her eyes are all blackened out. Yeah.
>> I'll be home later for some more hot sex and roast beef.
>> Going golfing. He's living life, man.
>> Dude, he is loving it.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love her. her in the bathroom though. She bites the [ __ ] out of a toothbrush.
>> Oh yeah. She's like brushing and it's all like jagged and [ __ ] up.
>> I got to go back to bed. This is a nightmare. Slaps herself. Ah, your mom's a werewolf.
>> Yeah. Well, there you go. It's literally there because Jennifer is like, "Mom, uh, one, why are you wearing that sexy night gown?" And two, uh, you said dentist. You need a dentist. I I said I need Dennis. Cuz she's going to like the phone.
>> So, she thinks John Saxon's name is Dennis.
>> Dennis, which is a great joke they just keep to the end of the movie every time.
You're Dennis, right? Never. He never questions her on Yeah.
>> He never corrects her.
>> Never. It's It's great.
>> Ah, Dennis. But she But to your point before, she's decorating for the Halloween party, Jennifer.
>> It's Halloween, apparently. Or close enough. They're having a party.
>> I guess it is.
>> It's LA, so it's always pretty much there. I think later in the movie, the cops are like, "Last night was Halloween. This kind of shit's supposed to be on Halloween. Why now?" I don't know. She's like hiding her mouth.
>> Yeah, mom. Yeah.
>> Yeah. And she's like, "I'm going to call dentist." She's like, "What's wrong with your mouth? What do you give you?
Herpes.
>> Oh yeah. Did that guy give you her? And she again she doesn't remember cuz of the curse or whatever.
>> No idea. Yeah. So she's like, "I got to go to the dentist." Oh, the dentist. So she goes to this [ __ ] like >> Mexican Steve Martin from from uh Little Shops. Literally 100%. This guy's great.
But it actually works. At first you're like, "This is just [ __ ] Little Shop of Horrors." But it's actually funny.
Dr. Dr. Rod Rodriguez.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And the little kid, too.
even in the lobby cuz she's like half werewolf almost like a little feral.
>> Yeah. She's like this mono mono >> monstro and he's like squirting her with a squirt gun and she like has like this thing over her face and like scares the [ __ ] out of him.
>> Pulls it away to growl at him. Yeah.
>> And she So she goes into >> also visual gag of people walking out of her getting teeth work done grabbing their mouth like >> oh they're all [ __ ] up. I mean this guy is going to the dentist convention with Steve Martin.
>> Yeah, exactly. Dr. Nick's in the car with him too from the Simpsons. Like bad practices.
>> He He can't wait to work on these teeth though. He sees him. [ __ ] John Love is there too from Con. Just going to throw that in there.
>> That's right. That's right. He's actually good at his job though. He like these [ __ ] amateurs. Look what I did TO THE [ __ ] BELDAR.
>> I CAPPED BOWL of Beldor's teeth.
>> Holy [ __ ] He's not even in the same category. Damn.
>> I just love Dr. Rod cuz he's just like outrageous. He's got like gold teeth and he's got he wears like he's got like surgical gloves on but his rings are on over the gloves which I thought was hilarious.
>> Yeah. And this is where you get that kind of I'm a dentist but it's like he's not singing that but the music is basically that like a midi version.
>> She sits down and opens her mouth and he's like oh my god those are the sexiest teeth I've ever seen. Oh my god.
She's like can you get rid of them? He's like why? They're so beautiful.
>> He tries regardless with the file the nail file and it breaks on her fang.
you're not happy with these. And he's like, and again more sexual innuendo [ __ ] cuz he like straddles this woman and he's filing her with the thing and he's like and like watching like >> and everybody in the [ __ ] waiting room's like, "Holy [ __ ] she's really they're really going at it in there."
>> Um and then I guess he comes and then she used the Dremel. Yeah. And then she leaves like, "All right, that that was fine." Yeah. And then like the next person going in has like the unbelievably [ __ ] up like obviously did some body manipulation. Like their teeth are so messed up, but he's like, "OH MY GOD." He's like mortified.
>> This [ __ ] looks like he got possessed by the Zoney fetish doll like Black, dude.
>> A little bit. Yeah. From Trilogy of Terror. Oh my god. Yeah. His teeth are just They found this guy. We need a circus performer. Someone that's known for like a freak show.
>> Dude, they're they're prosthetic teeth.
>> Oh, are they? You think? Okay. I thought it was some guy. You know, people do that kind of [ __ ] Is that what's called body manipulation? Body something.
>> Yeah, sure. Yeah. I thought you were just making a joke.
>> I know. I was serious. I don't know.
Again, we don't have enough trivia to really find out. I don't think that guy does cons, does he?
>> I don't think so.
>> Guy in the dentist chair and my mom's a werewolf. Yeah.
>> [ __ ] up teeth is here.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I love this, too, because uh after that, I guess she decides to get a new outfit and she goes to uh the butcher, the Jewish butcher shop.
>> This scene is just like, "Fuck it. We've got a Jewish butcher joke. Put it in there." It's [ __ ] Luke Coutell, man.
He's He's Air Shrog from uh Dream Girl from uh Tales from the Dark Side.
>> I don't remember. I saw the episode once.
>> And he's also Amazing Larry from Pee-Wee.
>> Oh, okay. Amazing Larry. Okay, now I see it.
>> Is this something you could share with THE REST OF US? AMAZING LARRY.
>> SO, he's the owner of this Jewish delicatessan. And this old this old Jewish woman's like, "How are you po how is your ve?" And he's like, "I've got the most succulent, most tender meal you've ever had in your life. Milkfed, blah, blah, blah. It's so juicy, so tender." And the whole time Leslie's like drooling on the [ __ ] counter and like the the glass >> as he's listing all the different types of meats off. He's like, "What about meat? You got a free matzah." Yeah. She goes to like grab the the woman's hamburger to like eat it and he stops.
She's like, "Is there something I can help you with?" And she's like, "Uh, I'll have some pork chops and all this other shit." She walks out with like a bag of meat and she's just eating it raw like out of the bag.
>> This is where she's got full biker chick with the black top and the sunglasses. I mean, she's looking good.
>> It's Dude, she's looking hot. My mom's a werewolf TM. Hollywood has this in the archives, Joe. It's again I said Sam Ramy, but this is such a I think even actually Jim Carrey and once bitten same kind of she starts wearing all black when he goes vampire.
>> Well, he's a vampire. That's a you know, >> again, this movie rides the line.
Monster madness.
>> Sunglasses, the the whole black suit thing. Drinking the blood instead of uh eating. When did that come out? Was that like 89 90?
>> I think once bitten's like 87.
>> They were all hanging out at the same [ __ ] restaurant.
>> Like 87 88 I think.
>> They were like, I got this idea for a movie. It's going to be a vamp. I got one for a werewolf. They all have sunglasses. Oh, they all wear black [ __ ] We'll just change one or two details. We'll make each movie.
>> Then there's one person sitting behind that guy going, "Huh?" So that one's called one spit and I'm going to call mine my best friend's a vampire.
>> And across the bar, the Wakowskis. And they're like, "Fuck it, Matrix."
>> They just heard the part about the leather jacket. They missed the >> Oh, and the sunglasses. That was all they heard. They're like, "Huh, that's a great idea." Neo. Okay. So, she's driving. She's singing and she's eating a fork and a [ __ ] raw pork chop. She like stops next to this old couple.
They're like, "Oh my god." She's like, "Look at that. Look at that, Beth. It's a singing werewolf. When's the last time you saw one of those?" Again, they know grandpa over from Lost Boys. I I feel like that has to be an inside joke or something like that actor. I feel like am I missing a joke? Like, was this guy in a werewolf thing?
>> I think the joke is just that funny. Is it they're just old people and like they've been around so long they're like oh you don't see too many just singing werewolves these days.
>> I think that's what it is. But I just was thinking I wonder if there's like a deeper joke here I'm missing cuz I'm so removed from it. I'm surprised they didn't get like Warren Zevon or some [ __ ] >> Well, right. Yeah. Someone recognizable.
[ __ ] Put grandpa in there. Al Lewis obviously. Who else would grandpa be?
>> Well, he's definitely down there in a cave somewhere.
>> Yeah, he's down there.
>> Yeah. So, it's the Halloween party. You know, Sher Bellfonte and Lavar Burton haven't showed up yet, but we we'll get there. Alf's there in the corner. He's like, "Fuck it." Hey, how you doing?
>> Yeah, this is definitely a costume.
>> Yeah, totally is.
>> That won't be relevant shortly. I do have to say some of these costumes, like there's a like a vampire and like a female vampire that are perfect, but some of these I'm like they had to just had a bunch of [ __ ] Put on something that kind of LOOKS LIKE A COSTUME.
>> WELL, I mean, absolutely. I think Jennifer's like Ameilia Airheart or some [ __ ] >> She's a good one. Yeah. But some of that just like ah mask with a cape. Uh don't overthink it. This is just for like one scene. No, I don't think Pooa is like even in a costume. It's like No, no, it's Stacy. She's in like a >> H. Well, she's dressed like a again a gypsy. She's dressed like Madam Gypsy.
>> Oh, I guess so. Yeah. I mean, it's the stereotype or whatever. The veil, you mean?
>> Veil. Veil.
>> Veil is something very different.
>> That's true. Especially we did talk about veil.
>> So juicy, so sweet, so succulent.
>> And that guy Ralph that she's obsessed with is there. Jody's wearing like a toga kind of outfit or like a Spartan kind of thing.
>> Oh yeah. Who's not really her boyfriend?
That's the joke to find out so [ __ ] obsessed with him >> cuz she just keeps chasing after him but like also talks to him on the phone a lot.
>> I think that she's the Lulu. Honestly, I think she has this idea that she does and he just doesn't answer or he just puts the phone on the table and walks away rather than deal with the crazy I'll just answer. It's less aggravation.
So Ralph goes into the kitchen and Leslie comes home and she's still eating this [ __ ] meat and she like look he's like wearing a toga so he's like h like he has his like chest out and he's like you know he's all fit young man and she's like oh hey how you doing there Ralph looking good uh >> uh why don't you snack on this and come upstairs if you want some dessert and he's like I'm totally going to [ __ ] this werewolf mom well he thinks it's Jennifer Connelly and he thinks he's an American pie out yet unfortunately mom yeah >> yeah yeah but yes she she goes upstairs and she realizes like what she looks like cuz she hadn't put it together cuz everyone's like, "What a great costume."
She's like, "I'm not wearing anything."
And Stacy's even like, "Wow, your mom's being real funny." She's like, "She has no sense of humor."
>> And she's like banging on the bathroom door. Mom, is everything okay? Cuz mom screams.
>> There's like a line of people like trying to take a piss like holding it.
>> Mom, is everything okay? Why were you screaming? Uh, nothing. She's got this [ __ ] scissors out cutting her off her legs. She's got full ears, by the way.
Uncle Buck's walking down the hallway looking for Bug.
>> Oh god. So Ralph's like, "Man, you sure got a hot mom." Uh, so he comes up and knocks on the door and he's like, "Uh, Miss Shraber. Uh, it's me, Ralph. Like, uh, uh, I come for my dessert."
>> Yeah. Here you go, Ralph. She's like, "Get out of here, you [ __ ] pervert.
Here, here's your dessert." She opens the door and shoves like all the hairs she's been cutting off her legs into his mouth. He's like praying it was like near the vagina. He's like, "Oh, I hope this has some [ __ ] Bro, >> John Saskin's like wet tongue mark.
>> Yeah, they're still there cuz she never wiped up or whatever.
>> What?
>> A little tongue mark down there.
>> Holy.
>> Now it's in Ralph's mouth.
>> Uh but yeah, she she cleans up pretty good to the point where >> That's why they call him Ralph mouth.
>> That's where he got it from this movie.
>> Even though Py it's MDU [ __ ] it. Uh timeline doesn't matter. But yeah, she finally like gets enough of it off after like a half hour and she comes out and it's like a Santa Claus moment. Yeah.
Yeah. It like grows back literally like Larry Talbot, like a wolf man kind of effect.
>> It's kind of cool. And like Jennifer looks through the keyhole of the bathroom and sees her covered in hair and her like shaving off. She's like, "Oh my god, >> my mom's a werewolf, too."
>> Yeah. I mean, I wish we got a full transformation. I guess spoilers, I'll just say it now. We don't. But I do like at least we get the the wolf man kind of the dissolve effect. It's like, well, they're at least doing a homage. Yeah.
It doesn't look amazing, but you know what it is.
>> It's not that kind of movie.
>> No. You know what I mean? That's a werewolf movie. I have to at least bring it on.
>> Yeah. So, everybody leaves and um you get a you get a quick shot of somebody wearing the Rocktober Blood mask right on the way out there, which I kind of like.
>> And she's like, "Mom, what the [ __ ] wrong with you? You look like Grizzly Adams."
>> Grizzly Adams did have a beard. Grizzly Adams did have hairy legs. Not true.
>> Dan Hagerty comes out of, "Hey, hey guys, I'm looking for an elf. I don't know. Did you come this way?" He just comes out of a smoke cloud. We haven't brought that up in a while. And then he just like goes back. I know. Okay.
Werewolves. So, not my not my rodeo. You know, I did I did read about werewolves in that book, but I'm after some Nazi elves. I'll be I'll see you later. Just we could have used your help. All right.
Yeah. So, uh so dad's still out golfing, I guess, at at midnight because, uh John Saxon shows up at the door. Is your mother home? And she's like, "Ah, Dennis." And she's like, "Yeah, I'm going to call the cops." And he just goes brim. And she's like, "Come on in.
She's upstairs."
>> Yeah. He just hypnotizes her and that's all it takes. And he walks in. So, this is a little strange, too, because like he goes upstairs, he like plot dumps to Leslie.
>> Well, they realize they had about a half hour run time left. So, they're like, "Shit, we can't end it here." Even though it makes sense. He like plot dumps to Leslie about what happened to her. She's like, "That didn't happen."
He's like, "You're going to remember eventually, but for now, you're going to forget cuz your your husband's home, but I'll be back." Cuz he's like he's like, "You're going to be my werewife and we're going to have kids and we're going to live in a warehouse." Yeah, that joke we did earlier. Yeah, that it's pretty good [ __ ] But I love this shot of John Saxon jumping out the [ __ ] window and then like running away through the lawn and dad's walking up. He's like, "Oh, honey, I got flowers." And he like goes to put his jacket up on a hook that doesn't exist.
>> Just keeps walking. I love when he comes up and she's like smashing all of the lights >> so we can't see her.
>> So he can't see her because she's like covered in hair and she's got fangs and ears and [ __ ] >> And uh she's like throws the blankets over. He's like, "Hey, I want some more of that that hot animal sex we had." And he's like feeling up her leg and he's like Marbo. He's like get out of the bed Marbo. Yeah. I couldn't help but think of Hellraiser in this scene cuz I thought of the Uncle Frank part where he's like cutting the [ __ ] rat to intimidate uh what's her face and he's like you're hot one MINUTE YOU'RE COLD THE NEXT. I don't know what the [ __ ] you want. But it doesn't quite go there. The next morning dad wakes up and he's actually kind of into the hot and cold cuz it's been so nothing for so long.
>> He's like he's like you you sex me up.
You make me food and then you freeze me out. He's like, "Man, you know how to drive a guy wild."
>> He's literally like Scrooge after the ghost visit him. He's like dancing. He's like, "I'M KIDDING. HE'S A SCHOOL BOY."
>> 100%. He's going to get that goose.
Excited, man.
>> So, Jennifer goes to Stacy's house and Stacy's like on the phone with Ralph and she like takes the phone and like hangs it up. She's like, "I was on the phone with Ralph. What the fuck?"
>> She's like, "No, this is more important.
My mom is a werewolf."
>> TM. Yeah.
>> And she's like, "So what? My mom's a cow. You You made me hang up on Ralph for this." I go, "What the fuck?" And meanwhile, Ralph hung up on his own. She just thinks that's the case because she tries calling his ass back and it's like the second he hears her voice, he hangs up again. So Jennifer, I think we got disconnected. So Jennifer, of course, is like, "Well, you got all this horror [ __ ] Like, how do I stop my mom? She's a werewolf." She's like, "You shoot her with a silver bullet." She's like, "I can't shoot my mom." She's my mom. I do love the visual gag, too. Again, that Blossom hat, that big hat resting on a Freddy Krueger sculpture just on top of Freddy's head. I was like on the second viewing, I was like, "Holy [ __ ] that's funny." Yeah, it's good [ __ ] >> Stacy kind of doesn't believe her. So, she's like, "Oh," she's wandering the streets and she has that epiphany that she has Ruth Buzzy's [ __ ] card cuz she's kind of playing the events back in her head. There's a lot of like replayed voice over from throughout the film and she's like, "Oh yeah, Madam Gypsy."
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cuz she's like walking around and it's like it's like >> a Rocky 3 scene or something. Rocky four.
>> She's all sad and [ __ ] like walking the streets and then pulls out the the gypsy cart.
>> He throws the [ __ ] motorcycle helmet at the statue. Exactly.
>> It's [ __ ] great. Yeah. Ruth Buzzy's there and she opens the door. She's like, "My mom's a werewolf, TM." And she goes, "Kill her." And then slams the door in her face. I swear to God, I said to Joe earlier, they had to have done this scene in one take. Ruth Buzzy wasn't having it. She's like, "You get one out of me this time, folks."
>> But like also, Ruth Buzzy reopens the door and she's like, "Come on in. We we'll figure this out." But then like she doesn't figure anything out with Ruth Buzz.
>> Basically gives her the same information Stacy Goria, page 39, issue. get across in holy water and garlic. Even though that's vampires.
>> Yeah, she's supposed to be like the Peter Vincent character for lack of a better example.
>> That doesn't like do it.
>> She's barely in it. Again, she probably was only available for a couple days, so use her where you can.
>> So, she goes back home and she's like, "Oh, mom, I don't know what we're going to do." And then she looks at her and she's like, "Normal." She's like, "Oh my god, mom, you changed back, but but don't leave the house cuz you're going to change back into a werewolf at any time."
>> Or she was at Ruth Buzzy's all night.
It's like the next day she goes there with Stacy. [ __ ] we got to stop her.
She got her hair appointment at 2.
>> So, she goes to do her hair appointment.
She's like, "Fuck you. I'm the mom. I'm going to get my hair done."
>> 100% in the right. Yeah, I've been there. No, I'm the one in charge. What the [ __ ] are you? What are you telling me? I'm the adult.
>> What?
>> We're going to keep that stalking theme going. We got to follow her. I mean, they're kind of right. So, she goes to get her hair done and she starts transforming again and [ __ ] Marcia Wallace is there. I love this woman.
>> Oh, man.
>> Edbopel from the Simpsons.
>> From the Simpsons.
>> One of her most famous roles. Uh, she's in the asparagus episode of ALF, which we talked about. She's also in Ghoulies 3 that we talked about. I think we talked about it on that episode.
>> I know we talked about her before, but I couldn't remember.
>> What's the matter? Cat got your tongue.
>> She's great, Peggy.
>> Yeah, she's great.
>> Uh, the owner or the person that runs the salon. Uh, and she's like, "Oh, okay. Yeah, I got my work cut out for me. All right, take a seat. We'll give you a little bath for the hair."
Shampooy.
>> Leslie doesn't realize she's turning back into a werewolf. So, they're like, "Holy [ __ ] This This is going to be my masterpiece.
>> This is going to be a challenge for me."
Yeah. So, she like does her all up and they they give her a pedicure and and a perm and [ __ ] and she's like, "Look at it. Aren't you beautiful? It's Wolverine chic." Her face is all the hair. She's like, "Oh my god."
>> It looks pretty good all things considered, though. Runs out without paying.
>> Runs out without paying. We cut the John Saxon and he's like getting ready for the night. He's like eating dog food out of a can. He's listening to that Red Riding Hood song. They had to get their money's worth. He's like Mr. Claw Kinsky and Problem Child 2 eating the [ __ ] child putting putting his [ __ ] cologne on.
>> You know, he's getting all sexy for Leslie again. Phil Fonda's in there watching saying, "Looking good, sir."
That Toro is in there like, "Yeah, it looks good.
>> He's got that finger ringing."
>> So, the girls get back to the house and shortly after that, John Saxon shows up ready to take Leslie as his wear as his wear wife.
>> And they're like, "Oh, they run like a gamut of tests on him. They're like they like shove a cross in his face and he like takes the cross and like throws it away.
>> When he first shows up though, I love the visual gag. Again, I I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but this movie gets extra points just for so many great visual gags. Uh which we talk about that on the show a lot, but this one really kind of goes out of its way for some really good ones. Him behind them while they're discussing as watching with this [ __ ] spotlight on him.
>> Unbelievable. Oh, it's Dennis. He's back. He eats the garlic.
>> Oh yeah. She's like, "Give him the garlic." And I also that's like >> call it out that's for vampires. Well, he's Dracula basically.
>> That's also like a core memory for me like hearing >> poop the the voice over of Stacy go from the garlic.
>> Like that stuck out to >> you. So he takes the garlic and like just bites into it and chewing it up. He like takes the holy water and he like puts it on like half drinks it a little.
Yeah. So they he passes all the tests and then he like hypnotizes them both and then goes into the house. I >> for whatever reason it only works on Jennifer and she's like wait what what happened? And she's like, "That's him.
He's the guy." And she's like, "Wait, that's the guy you just let him in."
She's like, "That's him." This is just like mesmerizers of the fuzz people.
>> And then it cuts the mom already fully transformed in her night gown like wrecking. I get full Larry Talbit style going crazy destroying everything.
>> John Jackson's like, "Oh, you changed without me. How's it going, Leslie? I've come to claim you as my bride."
>> And I love that they both look a little different. They do kind of like some werewolf movies actually have done this before where it's like based on their hair color or skin color. She's kind of white fur. He ends up being more of a >> It's also like a brunette.
>> It's like a yin-yang good evil kind of thing, too. And he's like, "Our children will be beautiful." And then he turns into a [ __ ] werewolf.
>> That's the mirror breaks and he's like transformed already. It was a great way to do it.
>> I love that. And it's scary.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So Stacy's like, "That's it.
That's the answer. We got to kill the main werewolf. He turned your mom. So if we kill him, she'll change back."
>> Okay. And they finally watch the [ __ ] wolf man. She's been cosplaying as a character from it. They met a character cosplaying from it. And they finally decided to watch the [ __ ] up.
>> But they have to kill Harry before >> before midnight.
>> The No, before the moon sets.
>> The moon sets, right? Midnight would be too easy and specific. That was midnight hour.
>> The garage door opens and Jennifer comes out in her [ __ ] earnest scared stupid armor.
>> Oh, I love it. Well, Princess Vacation also did this and one of the Jason's had to have. That's what has also got to be pulling from a It's a classic shot that so many movies have done. Spotlight behind people.
>> Oh, yeah. Sure. But like it's very much like Ernest from Scared Ernest Scared Stupid cuz she's got like a football helmet on and like a chest protector and like >> her holy warrior outfit and like a stick with like a [ __ ] uh you know silver fork on the end.
>> Well, they they're not even sure if it is 100% silver. Like my dad's cheap. It might not be. That's all we got. [ __ ] it. Just tied on this stick like a [ __ ] a halbert or something.
>> Yeah. She goes in there and she's like kind of debating with Stacy. Then the dad shows up finally. Then he's like, I'll just go in there cuz it's like chaos. They're fighting. They think they're having sex or there's just wild animals.
>> They're trashing the room and John Shuck opens the door and turns [ __ ] white.
>> Oh, what a great effect.
>> And he looks like Herman Monster there.
>> He does. I think that was what really put it over the top.
>> Is that Herman?
>> There it is.
>> Yeah, the blue face. I'll be right back.
I need to use the bathroom. So, they're like still fighting in the in the room and [ __ ] And it cuts over to like the next door neighbor who we've seen a couple times. He's a real creep as always.
>> Played by Phil Rubenstein. A that guy if you ever saw one.
>> Oh my goodness. He is a that guy. I I swear to God I thought this guy was on Sopranos but a totally different actor.
The guy who plays Veto. They look like it could again. Maybe Cousins or Brothers. I don't know.
>> Well, so you said he was in Mannequin.
What else was >> Yeah. Yeah. A few other things I I forget. IMDb is your >> He's like a bad guy. He like does a bunch of [ __ ] >> He's like a bit part guy, but he's got like a dog collar on and he's got like a dominatrix like beating him.
>> Well, at first the shoe flies out the window.
>> He's like, "What the [ __ ] going on over there? Keep it down. There's people trying to enjoy themselves." And a shoe comes flying from across. Whacks him in the head. And he's like, "Get that shoe.
I got to sniff that shoe." Okay. Yeah.
Right before the cops arrive, he they come back to him and now he's got binoculars watching and this time the percolator goes flying and that just smashes the the the binoculars into his eyes and he can't take them out. They're like stuck in there.
>> Stuck in his [ __ ] face.
>> It's like Butterball.
>> And he's kind of Yeah. He's like, "Oh, now go the cops." He's he's looking across the way and he's like, "They're in gorilla costumes and they're having an orgy." So then the cops arrive and this is literally right out of Nightmare and Elm Street for Christ's sake. They're probably asking John's asking, "Okay, was the camera here? Was the fire truck here?" "Uh yeah, I don't know why I You're asking me. I was just in the movie."
>> The cops come in and he's like, and John Shucks like there's two werewolves having a pillow fight in my room. And the guy runs up. He's like, "You're wearing gorillo costumes. I'm the one that called. I'm the neighbor." And he's like, "This isn't how good Christian should be acting with the [ __ ] dog collar on collar and the leash and the dominatrix and everything." And the cops so on the nose. It's like all right, that was a bit much. We're like, yeah, you know those donuts, man. You ate the donuts and you dropped the donuts. If you bought the donuts, you'd be angry about them getting dropped.
>> I actually like it cuz he's like he's like, "There was one [ __ ] jelly left and I dropped the jelly on the you you dropped it. Now you're buying them next time."
>> That was maybe one gag too many. I'm like it was funny, but >> it's such a passing thing as they go in.
>> It's It's one nitpick that I have.
>> So Jennifer goes in and she gets stuck in the room, right? because she go she actually successfully stabs Larry in the chest with the fork. There had to be at least 1% silver in there, right? It worked. So, but it takes him like forever to die from it. Barely get in.
>> So, he like falls in front of the door to get in. So, the cops and everybody are trying to kick the [ __ ] door open and there's werewolf dying in front of it and they can't get in. Meanwhile, Jennifer's like trying to dodge her mom who's fully transformed. Thank god she didn't scratch her or bite her. Yeah.
Well, she grabs Jennifer like by the face and she's holding her by the head and the cops the uh Larry finally [ __ ] dies and the cops come in. He's not dead yet. They break in and they have to watch him die. He's not dead yet. I'm not dead. I'm feeling better.
>> Yeah. And then he's >> He hasn't transformed back in John Saxon, though.
>> And he had already they that was not in the costume. He was done.
>> His contract was up. He's like, I had a budget ran out for John Sax. It's He's not transforming.
>> That's That's Joe Schmo who didn't get a title in the [ __ ] credits. Yeah. So Leslie changes back >> and you think she's going to rip Jennifer's head off, but she doesn't.
She >> more Wolf Man [ __ ] dissolving into a regular face, >> which isn't great.
>> Wolf man look better.
>> I just did something for James Rolf in the same thing. Since we're talking about Monster Madness, >> I got the shirt on. I was in case you get the joke. That was the bad joke that I was going Monster Madness. That's his thing he does on cinematic.
>> I turn I turned him into the nerd wolf.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh >> or wear nerd. What did I know? Anyway, check it out.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, she transforms back and she doesn't really remember anything since she went to the salon. That's kind of where her memory cuts off.
>> She's like, I was at the salon and then how did I get here?
>> I don't remember anything after the salon.
>> Why is my room wrecked?
>> I was a werewolf. Did John Saxton come and [ __ ] me yet? What's going on?
>> Was Joe Estz in here?
>> Go home, Joe.
>> But there is a great moment, too, cuz throughout the film, John Saxon keeps saying to her to try to even though she doesn't remember any of this, she keeps saying, "Your husband won't accept you.
Your family won't accept you. you're a werewolf.
>> You're alone. They don't they don't they don't like our kind. They're not going to accept you.
>> And the cops go, "This is your wife."
before she turns back to normal. And he's like, "Yeah, you know what? She is.
You got to get to know her." So, it's also they don't really do anything with it, but I think it's like an implied like, "Oh, they do care."
>> Yeah.
>> It's nice. It's just a good >> addition touch to it all. And uh yeah, like we just said, she doesn't remember any of it.
>> Unfortunately, someone uh would be blamed for all this murder if the cops didn't literally see the transformation.
So, thank god they broke in. Uh cuz some other movies that we do, I'm like, "Well, there's no nobody to see what happened. You're just going to jail."
>> I don't think they're going to jail because he doesn't turn back. He's a werewolf for the rest. There's a werewolf for the rest of the movie. And like there's been killings by an animal.
Like, here it is.
>> They have that sketch. The mayor wasn't lying. Apparently, >> Lou, whatever the [ __ ] his name is.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Uh >> Loop Garoo. Yeah.
>> So, then we kind of close out the movie with this the next morning everything kind of the the the news >> the news casters arrive, the cops come.
Uh [ __ ] Kimmy Robertson is there.
>> Random cameo. What's going on?
>> Yeah. I mean, she's always that girling around because she's, you know, >> Leprechaun 2. She's Clint Howard's uh wife.
>> Um she's in the Willies. She's like, she's doing the ride thing >> famously from Twin Peak. She was the receptionist.
>> And uh Don't Tell Mom the babysitter's dead.
>> Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Uh I love this uh the reporter though.
Uh, I forget what her name was, but she was pretty funny how she's just kind of like all about herself. She's like asked him about this like amazing discovery about a werewolf. She's like, "OH, WELL, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS, HOWARD?" And he starts to talk. She's like, "Oh, isn't this incredible?"
>> That's a good gag. And she's like She's like, "Jesus, you know, I'm trying to do this report and they just would not shut up." Cuz their whole plan is to tell the whole world, "Fuck it. It's a werewolf.
>> We got to explo expose them."
>> Yeah. Well, thank god they didn't cuz Umbrella would have been in there with the machine guns. Uh, so maybe it's good that this maybe the reporter worked for Umbrella. That's the secretary. Jerry Stiller and Anne Mirror are in their house watching this on TV LIKE, "FUCK, THEY'RE GONNA THEY'RE GONNA RAT US OUT.
THEY'RE GONNA COME KILL US."
>> RIGHT. Step monster. Exactly.
>> No, one wolf's family monsters.
>> Well, that one's also involved. We talked about it earlier. Everyone's kind of [ __ ] The cops news are in town.
>> Well, it's different because we're not sure if it was the, you know, these these joggers were killed by a trapkin or they were killed by a werewolf. We're not sure.
>> That's fair. They're all going to blame the werewolf, though. Brian James is over the moon. He's like, I got to keep going with this deal.
>> Well, his ass is already [ __ ] dead.
>> Well, again, timeline's kind of uh up in the air. It could take place after, right? He's excited about it either way.
Sure.
>> Or or he's dead. Either way, somebody's excited.
>> I do love turning old women into werewolves >> or or mom just blew up in the kitchen. I don't know. Again. Uh but yeah, so that's basically the end of the movie.
Uh Stacy still pining after Ralph. Ain't it ever happened?
>> I love when they're doing the report and she runs out and she goes Stacy Pooa, Stacy Pooa. It's I That got a good laugh out of me, too.
>> Uh and then you think the movie's going to end, but they have like a final scene with them back in bed. mom and dad.
>> Well, well, Ruth Buzzy comes back. Oh, god. How could I forget?
>> And she's got she's got like a giant crystal ball in her [ __ ] like Corvette or whatever she's driving and she's like throwing out her like business cards to people. She's like, "I predicted the Volf. Come. It's only $30 and I'll tell you your future." Yeah.
The price again, like we said earlier, keeps going up higher and higher. And then we see mom and dad in bed later that night.
>> He's like apologizing to her.
>> Jennifer from the other room for being an [ __ ] He's like, "Hey, hey."
>> He's Yeah. He's like, "Yeah, I was being an asshole." He's like, "Lely, I'm sorry I would I haven't been paying enough attention to you and I haven't been home and blah blah blah and for being an asshole."
>> And then it kind of ended.
>> Go to bed, Jennifer.
>> Yeah, go to bed. No more football on the weekend. Just you. She's like, "Oh, thank you." He's like, "Maybe Super Bowl."
>> Maybe the Super Bowl.
>> Maybe Orange Bowl. Maybe when you're not around.
>> Yeah. All right.
>> The [ __ ] is the Orange Bowl? Is that college?
>> College. Yeah. Yeah. One of the many.
There's a lot of college, >> I would imagine.
>> And then uh again, think it's like Lord of the Rings.
>> Then we go to Jennifer.
>> So Jennifer is chilling reading a book or some [ __ ] Stacy.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, you you missed this major detail at another Fangoria reference. Fangoria 43.
Uh, apparently if you kill the werewolf, but you don't burn it or some [ __ ] >> Unless a formal exorcism is performed on the body of the werewolf, whoever killed the werewolf will become a werewolf, >> which John Saxon knew about because that dog pissed on Freddy Krueger's bones and it came back. But >> he's dead. So they couldn't he couldn't tell them.
>> He knew that. Well, that's what happened. That's how he became a werewolf. They thought he was dead, but he was really a werewolf.
>> Yeah, because you thought you thought he was dead. You thought Freddy killed his ass.
>> Freddy's skeleton.
>> Yeah, you thought he was. But turns out some of that skeleton must have been a werewolf like from the movie Werewolf with Joe Evez. Cuts John Saxon, goes to the morg, doesn't die, comes back and now he's a werewolf.
>> Except now he's killed by a mighty silver fork.
>> It's kind of poetic. You think you four prongs of Freddy going into you and then a fourp prong [ __ ] fork going in your chest.
>> You stabbed it right in the front. Oh, and that's what it was. It was actually Freddy that killed her.
>> Opened the Freddy room wound.
>> He got sucked back into hell. Soul taken. He's back in that pepperoni pizza with Lydia Quigley.
>> Man, [ __ ] >> Well, dad and mom are no longer in trouble. So, you know, Jennifer's happy at the end of the day.
>> It turns out >> Manny's going to get taken out down the road. She doesn't even realize it yet.
Oh [ __ ] it is connected.
>> I told you.
>> Well, that was different franchise, but [ __ ] it.
>> Well, Jennifer ends up getting cured and then they move to uh another street. No, they moved to the place where the poltergeist house was and then they get encounter an alien and go to McDonald's.
It's a whole thing.
>> I helped invent this [ __ ] I'm confused.
>> It's great.
>> Uh yeah, >> people, you're following along, right? I know you understand. Yeah, they got it all.
>> They got notes. I got none.
>> One more thing before we wrap this up. I love the credit song cuz it's like you bring out the W for me.
>> That's what she was listening to when she was in a rock mode in a car.
>> I love this [ __ ] song. It's great. It fits the theme perfectly. Uh, it's by Simon Sto.
>> Okay, >> that's who did this song. And he also wrote the Chucky song >> from Child's Play One >> from Child's Play. They were going to use it for the credits, but instead decided not to, which was a good thing.
He's like, "Hi, my name's Chucky." And blah blah blah. We'll play a clip.
>> He said, "Hi there, I'm Lucky. Pleased to meet you. Call me Chucky."
But yeah, not great for the ending of that film. Good exist.
>> You'll be my friend to the end or some [ __ ] >> This isn't lap in the hood for Christ's sake. No.
>> So this guy Simon Stoked sounds like the guy from the swimming pool cues. They do that song corruption in um Brain Damage.
That's the one like Brian goes to the club with and like Darlo is there.
>> Yeah. He kind of sounds like that guy but it's not that guy.
>> Uh same kind of music though.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So where are we putting this man? It's on shelf. Uh it was funny.
>> I'm so happy to hear you say that.
>> Oh yeah, me too. It was funny. Uh when I was first watching it, uh the first 20 I was like, "Okay, I see what they're doing, but I'm getting a little nervous." I'm like, "Oh, no. This is another one where it's just not going to click for me." And then like the next hour or 10, >> it did its job, man. Set up just I get nervous sometimes when it's a little slow in the beginning, especially low budget. But I just had to be patient.
And then on the rewatch, it didn't even bother me at all. So, I think I was just getting I wanted to get to the next. I want to see what was going to happen.
>> Your anticipation was getting the better of you. Yeah.
>> And I wasn't disappointed, so that helped.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Uh, great characters. The acting is pretty solid. Again, it's lowbudget, so I feel like I bring that up every time, but it's kind of hit or miss. Everyone in here is very good. Dad might be the weakest, but he's so funny. You just kind of ignore some of his weaker line deliveries. And I I'm joking about that one scene with Ruth Buzzy. It's just it's the single shot that goes on for a minute. I don't know. Maybe they just wanted a single shot scene. Sure. That's the only one that really that and John Saxin and the Nightmare are like their only two standout bad shots, right? The rest is really well done. Uh great cinematography. The effects are pretty damn good. Uh the werewolves look great.
>> I don't know. John Saxon's creepy as hell. They give enough excuses for why things happen. Again, this is a little bit of a satire, so you buy into it a little more.
>> Uh you don't let things kind of get to you as much with semantics. You're like, "Ah, yeah, pet store, sure. Flea collar.
Okay. Yeah, it adds up enough.
>> Yeah. Where there's a through line where you're like, "All right, sure."
>> Which sometimes you're watching a movie and you're like, "All right, it doesn't matter, but what the [ __ ] How did he get from here to here?"
>> Yeah. No, 100%.
>> But here they do enough uh connecting the dots that you always kind of have a carrot leading you to the next gag and all those visual gags, the the the oneliners, mom just oh in a in a fish out of water story from beginning to [ __ ] end. Add a werewolf to the whole thing. They nailed it. Uh very well done.
>> So good. I'm not think I'm going to sit here and say uh it was a fivestar film.
>> No, of course I don't think we have many of those on this show.
>> No, but I I enjoyed the hell of that out of it and I would definitely rewatch it.
[ __ ] I watched it twice for the show.
Part partly to remember it a little better, but also just because I did enjoy it quite a bit. So, if that DVD eventually drops, I mean, they still do drop DVDs occasionally. I'll take a Blu-ray, of course.
>> I mean, it needs to be Blu-ray 4K.
>> Yeah, I'll be picking it up if it's ever available.
>> I don't I don't want any of fans or butts. Like if you're going to do it, do do it for [ __ ] 4K. Yeah, for sure. Um Yeah, man. This is on the shelf for me.
Of course it is. It's been It's been there.
>> Pulled it off.
>> I pulled it off of it for the for the episode. Um Yeah. I mean, so of course I have nostalgia baked in for this as it from being a kid.
>> It's hard not to when you've seen it at that young age and you've been thinking about it for a long time.
>> So it also means a lot to me because like it again like I was saying earlier in the episode, it's like one of those things where you know I used to watch this a lot with my mom. It was on TV a lot. So, I have like a very solid memory of it as a kid. Um, and it makes me feel good. I mean, if you watch the show, you know that that I like to go back to things that make me feel good and have that nostalgia hit for me. But I, you know, I always I always like to give it a fair shake um when we come back to it and be like, "Hey, you know, does this hold up?
Does it still like work?" And it does.
And going over it with like a fine tooth comb, I think it works really well, especially for what it pulls off. Like it's a it's a it's I don't know any other comedy werewolf movie.
>> I'm sure they exist, but like this one nails the concept.
>> I I mean >> there's not many of them either way.
>> Teen Wolf maybe.
>> American uh in Paris. American Werewolf in Paris too.
>> [ __ ] that movie.
>> Whatever the [ __ ] it was called.
>> [ __ ] that movie. But like the only one I can really think of is like Teen Wolf.
>> Teen Wolf would be the other one maybe.
>> But that's definitely not hard. That's a straight comedy.
>> That's straight comedy. That's more serious.
>> Yeah. This like this actually tries to do a little bit of the horror. Like I think John Saxon's presence is pretty uh creepy and he's never goofy.
>> John Saxon's never it's not his fault.
>> It's not intentional, right?
>> Um even when he even when they're doing the test and [ __ ] he's so [ __ ] creepy. Like even when he's eating the garlic and [ __ ] and like his weird back room with a monkey in a cage, like it's just weird.
>> Yeah. Uh yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of crazy uh sequences to this film that don't necessarily feel like they should be there, but also work pretty well. And >> that's what's so weird about this movie.
You're right. In a good way.
>> That's why I also noted the score before, too, because it's actually pretty good. And it works >> to the advantage of the scenes to make them less hokey.
>> And the editing helps, too. Editing is very good in this.
>> Now, um snappy.
>> Now, I really do love this. Again, like Sean said, it's not a fivestar film by any means. I I mean if you're a fan of this kind of stuff I think you'll enjoy it for sure.
>> I mean you might rank it because it's like maybe not you personally but the general you it's like oh it checks a lot of boxes. So yeah I mean if you watch this show and you're familiar with our tastes and our rankings of things then you'll know where this lands when I say that if you're like me or even Sean in this case you're going to you're going to have a good time. You're going to have a good time. It's going to be fun.
The one thing I will say we didn't really talk about too much when it came up but like the werewolf costumes they're not like they're like masks.
They still look good though.
>> I mean, they're fun. They're They're fun, but they're not like the best werewolves ever.
>> Yeah. I mean, it's not Mad Moon or American Werewolf and London. The good one this time.
>> But again, it's not that kind of movie.
Not at all.
>> Which it gives it the pass. Yeah.
>> That's why I'm like kind of taking the piss out of it a little by saying no transformation. It's just it's a werewolf movie that you go into it no matter what kind of movie it is, you want to see it. But yeah, you don't need it in this. It's just It would have been cool, but what the [ __ ] would that I probably would have complained about it, honestly. Why does this look like [ __ ] Ruin the movie. Well, what it it also because they incorporate the stuff with like the the the horror fan and the horror convention stuff, it has that uh sheen of like classic monster movie on it. So, like you get away with stuff like >> not only not only being a comedy movie, but the stuff like the the dissolves for the hair coming back. Oh, yeah.
>> And like not having this extravagant werewolf at the reveal at the end.
They're just, you know, they're just okay. which was kind of like uh which you know I didn't like as much but Midnight Hour tried to do that and even u Monster in the Closet were kind of aiming for a similar kind of tone.
>> Yeah, Monster Closet has like that atomic age kind of feel to it and >> satirical but it's still taking the material. It's satirizing seriously but it's a comedy.
>> It's almost like it's almost like an an homage.
>> Homage is probably the more accurate term. You know what I mean? So, it's it's kind of this mishmash. It's comedy forward for sure, but it's like a mishmash comedy horror uh with with with like a classic monster kind of sheen on it. And you get, like we were saying before, you get a little bit of Dracula, you get a little bit of Wolfman and kind of this hodge podge, but it works really well. And then John Saxon's at the center of it as the bad guy.
>> Him playing that character is perfect.
>> Yeah, everybody's really funny and and I can't stress how much I love Stacey Poo.
She's the best. I I wish I was in more >> I wish he was like a real person that I could hang out with like the character.
>> Oh, the character, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the actors also could have gotten more work, but yeah, the character.
>> Sure. 100%. But we're talking contextually like I don't know her personally, but I know the character hang out, right? Or beyond that is so Yeah. On the shelf, dude. So, yeah. With that being said, if you want some more Movie Dumpster content, you can head over to patreon.com/movdumpster.
