EP. 356.5 — Last Looks: Trap

[00:00:00] Paul Scheer: What was Jason’s favorite Halloween costume? Why is Spencer such a dumb, dumb dummy? And what movie made Paul so freaked out that he got scared as an adult? All this and more on today’s Last Looks. Hit the theme!

[00:00:22] Music: [Last Looks Intro Song]

[00:00:30] Paul Scheer: What’s up, my Lady Raven stans? It’s me, your favorite uncle. Yes, your mother’s brother. For those who find that a little bit confusing. Paul Scheer here to talk to you about all the things that we might have missed from the film Trap. Now, Trap was a great film.

[00:00:47] There’s no denying that. As a matter of fact, there might’ve even been a better title. Ghostbag from Discord thinks that the better title for this movie should have been “That’s So Lady Raven.” Solid. I like that. Okay. Anyway, thank you. Ghost bag for that title. Remember if you have an alt movie title or a tagline submitted to us on our discord and we may we just may read it on the air. Uh people welcome to Last Looks so much coming up on the show today. We’re gonna have your corrections and omissions, you know that right?

[00:01:19] We’re even gonna have a deleted scene from our Trap live show. Jason is going to join me to answer a ton of Halloween themed questions that you sent to us on social media. And, uh, we’ll get into stuff like what movies scared us when we were kids. Uh, what’s our favorite Halloween movies. Our favorite costumes. It’s a real Halloween extravaganza.

[00:01:39] And as always, I will reveal the movie for next week’s episode. I got to ask you a question because you’ve asked us a lot, Paul, when are you going to do another virtual live show? And the answer is we’re doing it. On December 12th, we are doing a holiday virtual live show. You can get your tickets right now.

[00:02:02] Just go to HDTGM. com. It is available to stream. It is available to watch later. There’s no country restrictions. It is. Very nicely priced. So get your tickets. It will never sell out, but if you get them now, they won’t go up like the day or two before, which is the way that I think it kind of works anyway.

[00:02:21] Uh, so get your tickets for that holiday show. And guess what? We’re bringing back Jessica St. Claire for the holiday show, because we have to, I mean, we need our crones in attendance. Plus Philly we’re coming back to, this is a movie that takes place in Philly, Trap, right? I wish we would have saved it for Philly.

[00:02:38] Unfortunately, we didn’t, but you can come out and see us in Philly. And we will recreate everything that you need from Trap. We will have a butcher in our audience at the Miller theater on November 16th. And if you want to just hang out with me and Jason, people like Nicole Byer and Chloe Trost and Lisa Gilroy and Carl Tart and Rob Hubel and Seth Morris.

[00:02:58] Come see Dinosaur. That is our improv show. And we’re going to be in Boston and DC. All these tickets available at hdtgm. com. My book still available because it’s a book. Um, and thank you so much for the amazing reviews. I keep on getting, people are finding it. It blows my mind. I just always wanted to say thank you to this audience for supporting it.

[00:03:20] It means a lot to me. Anyway, um, that’s it for the plugs. Let’s get in to some corrections and omissions. Set us straight, people fact check us if you will, but first Bombay Beach Revival, lead us in.

[00:03:37] Music: [Corrections and Omissions Song]

[00:03:49] Paul Scheer: All right, we’re going to the discord. GT75 goes,

[00:03:58] “I know this episode acknowledged that Spencer was dumb for getting kidnapped in the van, but it is even worse when we remember his story. When Lady Raven is talking to Spencer on the phone, he says that his captor asked him to help jumpstart his car battery. When we see the video footage, Spencer doesn’t have a car. The van doesn’t have the hood up and Josh Hartnett is in the cargo bay of the van. Um, how exactly was the situation, uh, convincingly presented to Spencer as, Hey, my battery is dead. Could you give me a hand?

[00:04:33] Well, GT 75, I’m going to give M night the benefit of the doubt, because here’s what happened, right? You got the butcher out there on the street with the van. He’s like, Oh my God, my fucking car, it, it, it’s not starting, I gotta figure out how to get a jump. He calls over Spencer and Spencer’s like, what, what’s up? And he’s like, ah, can you help me? And Spencer and him are looking at it. He’s like, you know what?

[00:04:55] I’m just going to leave it here tonight. Uh, I’ll probably get an Uber home. He closes. The, the hood and he goes in the back of the, you know, in the van and is getting this, pretending to get his stuff and he’s putting it together and Spencer’s trying to be a nice guy. He’s like, Hey buddy, can one quick second, can you just look at one thing?

[00:05:13] And then he gets them and then he pulls them in. So GT 75, it does make sense. Um, wow, by the way, great correction omission GT 75. Rocket Wesker. What do you got?

[00:05:24] “Well, lady Raven gives a monologue on stage about the importance of forgiving people and then asked the crowd to raise their hands in agreement. Everyone in the crowd, except for Cooper raises their hand. This is likely used to show that Cooper can never forgive the person who caused him so much pain and turned him into the butcher. His mother.”

[00:05:44] Ooh, not even the, just like, Wow. Giving me something to think about here. These corrections and omissions better than I thought they would be.

[00:05:53] Uh, Fun Facts 47 says,

[00:05:56] “This movie never returned to the fact that Cooper lied about Riley recovering from leukemia so they could get backstage access. Nobody ever congratulated Riley on overcoming her illness, which would have confused her because she had no idea what they were talking about. It would have been really interesting to see how Cooper would have responded when caught in his own lie.”

[00:06:14] Okay, well. I feel like everyone acted the right way. Honestly, I think everyone acted the right way. And then once he kidnapped lady Raven, she’s like, Oh yeah, this girl doesn’t have leukemia. Like, I think at that point you’d have to be like, now the gig is up. I don’t think it was spread out around, but, um, I don’t know.

[00:06:31] I don’t think I would just like go up to a person if I wasn’t told by them that they were recovering and congratulate them on their recovery. Maybe I, I feel like that’s a little bit of separation of church and state. I mean, really the only person fooled was M night. Did M. Night tell the person backstage?

[00:06:50] I’m not even sure that he did. I’m not sure that he did. Maybe that girl did say something. I don’t remember, but she was great. Let’s go to the phones. Katie, what do you got?

[00:06:58] Listener: Hey, Paul. So there was something mentioned in the movie a couple of times about, um, how he was always giving his wife jewelry. And I think the first time they mentioned it, it was with Lady Raven in the family room and they were, it was kind of a way of him being such a good, attentive, like, caring husband.

[00:07:17] Like, he’s always giving her jewelry or he’s bringing home gifts. And my very first thought was, Oh, he’s robbing his dead bodies and bringing the jewelry home to his wife. That’s disgusting. But also, like, oh, that’s a great character quirk, right? Like, what a weird serial killer thing to do. And then they brought it up again, and I just, I don’t know.

[00:07:39] I just assumed that that’s what it was. He was getting jewelry from the victims that he killed. And then, I listened to the episode, and then, I thought about it and was like, no, that’s, no, that he’s way too OCD, and he’s way too obsessed with details, and that’s evidence, that would be evidence that he’d be bringing home and parading around on his family’s body and in his home, and so I thought, that’s crazy, that can’t be what it is.

[00:08:10] So then, if that’s the case, then, It’s just a character trait that he likes to go jewelry shopping for his wife a lot. Anyways, love the show. Thank you guys. Talk to you soon.

[00:08:21] Paul Scheer: Ooh, great point. Maybe he was using the money to buy jewelry. But no, the movie really makes it very clear. He was giving her the jewelry that he found off the people, but he didn’t kill women. I think he took money, bought jewelry. That’s my reasoning. I’m sticking with it. Katie. Great call. Next up, Lee from Ontario.

[00:08:44] Listener: Hey, Paul, I just listened to the trap episode and I have a fan theory about Josh Hartnett’s character that I think is going to blow your mind. Uh, because I think it ties two other movie universes together into one big shared universe.

[00:08:57] So check it out. I think Josh Hartnett has, like, maybe superpowers in this movie, because, I mean, he ate a bunch of poison, didn’t kill him. He got tasered by so many people, uh, more than a normal person could take. Plus, he’s gotta have some sort of superpowers, because he pulled a bike spoke off of a bike at the end of the movie with ease, like he was just separating fuckin wooden chopsticks.

[00:09:22] If you think about Unbreakable and Split, we know people have kinda, like, grounded superpowers there, right? And the villains in those movies have nicknames like Mr. Glass, The Horde, and Josh Hartnett’s The Butcher. That, it seems like a no brainer. That one, it seems, yes, that’s true. I’ve decided. Now, here’s the fucking crazy one.

[00:09:44] What we know about this movie is uncles are very important. Uncles are the best. Uncles, uncles, uncles. So, In this super powered killer, Josh Hartnett said that he loves killing people because their eyes go black or dark or something like that. So, what other movie franchise has a super powered serial killer who has the darkest eyes?

[00:10:08] The Devil’s eyes. It’s Michael Myers, who dot dot dot is Josh Hartnett’s uncle. In Halloween H2O, it’s, it’s, it, murder runs in the family. I think that he grew up and he changed his name to escape his past, just like Laurie Strode did in that movie. Holy shit, they’re all connected. I just, I figured you need to hear this theory, not theory, you needed to hear these facts, because it’s true, I’ve decided.

[00:10:38] Um, anyway, the podcast is amazing. Thank you guys for doing this for so many years, and your book was, Uh, incredible. I, I laughed. I cried. I really connected with it. So thank you for writing it and I hope you all have an amazing day.

[00:10:52] Paul Scheer: You fucking nailed it. I agree with you completely. Yes. And yes, because I believe there was a title at the front of it was like in the M night universe or some wording that was like putting it. It was like the, the dark, the dark universe. Remember The Mummy and failed thing that universal is going to do. Um, yes, I believe that you are right. Um, I think that you jumped the shark a little bit on the Halloween movie universe, but I like it, but to your point, you don’t even have to jump the shark and go to Halloween.

[00:11:24] You can just stay in the Split universe. And all of a sudden you put all these people here. You got like, uh, you got a league of villains. This is like, uh, when that team of us, all the bad guys from Spider Man, the sinister six. We’re getting there. We’re getting there. I love it. All right. Uh, this is from Thomas from the Traveling Museum.

[00:11:43] All right, Thomas, what do you got?

[00:11:44] Listener: Paul, this is Thomas. There’s been a trend in Hollywood lately where there’s trailers for movies or commercials that hide the fact that they’re musicals and they kind of trick you into thinking it’s just a normal movie. Is Trap one of those movies?

[00:11:56] Paul Scheer: I don’t think so. No, this is not a musical.

[00:12:01] A musical is a movie in which song, is used to convey feelings and emotions that are in a scene. This is a movie where the music is, what do they call it? Diegetic like it’s, it’s organic to the setting. So there’s not a musical concert movie, maybe, but they’re only there for 20 minutes, so no, it’s not really, it’s not a musical, it’s not a musical.

[00:12:25] I’m sorry, Thomas. I would agree with you, but you’re wrong. Vin, from Columbus, Ohio, what do you got?

[00:12:31] Listener: Hey, Paul. I have a quick, uh, correction on the whole uncle thing. Uh, in Indian American families and probably other, uh, um, Asian American families. Families, uh, oftentimes the word, the term uncle is used sort of across the board with any family, male friends.

[00:12:48] So when M. Night was clarifying that he’s actually, uh, her mother’s brother, uh, he was just saying that, yes, I’m an uncle, but I’m actually a family uncle, not like a friend uncle, which is often the case.

[00:12:59] Paul Scheer: Okay. Sure. Okay. I guess, I guess I don’t love it, but let’s go back to the discord for another, uh, alternative uncle theory.

[00:13:14] Sean McBee writes,

[00:13:15] “I think that M Night clarifies that he’s lady Raven’s mother’s brother because Lady Raven pointlessly mentions it on stage that her dad left when she was seven. So this uncle wants to make this stranger know that he’s related to the good parent.”

[00:13:31] Well, here’s my issue. And I’m going to go back to Vin from Columbus. Who cares if he was a family friend, he could call himself uncle. Like we don’t need to, like, we don’t need to know like, Oh, I mean, blood is thicker than water. I mean, why are we doing all this? But anyway, you guys were really fascinated by the uncle conversation. I mean, we did make a t shirt about it, which I love and is available now in TeePublic. Alistair Simp writes,

[00:13:53] “Um, just pointing out that in the movie Old, M Night also played the little boy’s friends, uncle. Didn’t acknowledge what side he was on there. So if we’re going back to the idea that this is something that is an Indian American culture, then Vin’s theory is out the window. But speaking of the movie Old, portable, Jeff said, Paul, since you auditioned to be the hotel guy, character in Old, what character would you like to play in Trap?”

[00:14:18] Honestly, I think this movie is brilliantly cast. I love everybody in it. I love the backstage manager. I would like to have been the M Night part. Honestly, I would like to have been the M Night part. And I would have been like, I’m her uncle. I mean, I really just like a friend of the family, but I, you know, I look out for her, or I may have wanted to be with the guy who came out of the stairs.

[00:14:38] I would like to be like that singer. That’d be fun. So many great corrections and omissions this week, but we can only pick one, one that is truly amazing. And honestly, I am a little stuck. I’m thinking about where this all goes. I think the one that really gets me, look, we’ve said that Spencer’s a fucking idiot.

[00:15:01] We’ve talked about the leukemia, but I think Katie is the one that may have to win because that jewelry thing makes sense, but then it doesn’t make any sense. And then it’s the whole crux of how the wife found out. So Katie, you have uncovered the most interesting correction and omission I think about Trap.

[00:15:21] And by the way, everyone’s aces this week, but that was above aces. So, uh, because of that, you get this amazing song from Ashanti Dijon Cooper. Hit it.

[00:15:48] Thank you Ashanti for that song. Check out more music from Ashanti by following her on Instagram at Ashanti. That’s A S H A N T I D E J E A N N E dot music. Sure. I mispronounced it now because I’ve said it so many times. And remember, if you want to submit your theme song to us, you can email your theme at, HowDidThisGetMade@Earwolf.com . Keep it short people. Follow Ashantides lead. And if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit us up on the discord at Discord.gg/HDTGM, or call us at 6 1 9 P A U L A S K. Okay. Coming up after the break, we’re Jason, we’ll stop by to answer some Halloween theme questions that you sent us for this Halloween episode. Ooh, spooky. Uh, but first take a listen to this bonus deleted scene from our Trap live show, where we talk about the asthma inhalers in the film.

[00:16:40] June Diane Raphael: Anyway, but lady Raven is not afraid to take a moment and acknowledge a person’s existence.

[00:16:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. I, that I, I like that, but in my mind I was like, Oh, they only have the same Stadium for a certain amount of time, like big, big shots. And they just, this, this poor actor fell and they were like, we gotta keep it. We just, that’s the one we got. We got it.

[00:17:00] Paul Scheer: No, I think it is, I think June’s right. Like, but, but what makes it tricky is that’s the moment where he looks at her and goes. You think you’re whole? Does he think that like.

[00:17:11] June Diane Raphael: No, honey. No, no, no.

[00:17:12] Paul Scheer: Uhoh.

[00:17:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah. Oh, uhoh. We’ll be, we’ll be quiet. You guys work this out.

[00:17:17] June Diane Raphael: No, no, no. The moment he’s referencing is seeing her with her inhaler, because if you have asthma as I do, you’re not a whole person. .

[00:17:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, no.

[00:17:30] June Diane Raphael: Well, but you’re a person in pieces.

[00:17:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, no, because I’m taking a steroid pill every day to control this breathing.

[00:17:37] Paul Scheer: Wait, wait, wait. But if she’s using the inhaler then she knows she’s not whole.

[00:17:42] Blakely Thorton: Then he could just steal the inhaler.

[00:17:44] Paul Scheer: Well, this is the thing, like, what is he trying to do?

[00:17:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Why doesn’t that come back? They make such a thing to foreground it and be like, look at her weakness.

[00:17:53] June Diane Raphael: I think there was a world in which they shot it and didn’t use it in the, you know, in the third movie that was a part of this movie.

[00:18:00] Paul Scheer: There is a deleted scene and it has not come up in that scene.

[00:18:03] June Diane Raphael: I appreciated the inhaler though because I feel like there was a time in the late 90s or maybe it was earlier. The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. There was a lot of movies where asthma, not having an inhaler was the thing. It was the stakes of the third act. And I, I.

[00:18:17] Blakely Thorton: Very Three Ninjas.

[00:18:18] June Diane Raphael: Yeah.

[00:18:24] Paul Scheer: All right, everybody. I hope you are checking out Matinee Monday every week on Matinee Monday. We are pulling thematically episodes out of the vault. We’ve pulled out, uh, Malignant and now we are also going to be talking about a Lawnmower Man coming up next week. So keep on checking out all those replays of classic episodes.

[00:18:44] And now it’s time for me and Jason to get into a little Halloween talk. It is now time for for Just Chat, halloween edition. Tom McWaters, play us in.

[00:18:56] Music: We’re gonna have ourselves a conversation. Just Chat. No quarantine or vaccination. Just Chat. Paul and Jason, a couple of cats. Just Chat. Just Chat. Just Chat.

[00:19:13] Shoo be doo poo poo poo poo poo poo.

[00:19:17] Paul Scheer: All right. So Halloween is around the corner and we decided to go to you, our discord community for some Halloween themed questions. So Scott, what do we got?

[00:19:27] Listener: Hey, Paul and Jason, this is Brett from Los Angeles. My question is what was your first scary movie you remember watching as a kid?

[00:19:37] Like it stuck with you. For me, I remember that’s not really a scary movie, but it has scary parts was Big Trouble, Little china, which I know you guys did a episode on for blank checks. So. Uh, tell me, what’s your favorites, what sticks with you since you were a kid? Thanks again.

[00:19:53] Paul Scheer: That’s an interesting question. You know, I wasn’t really a horror movie person when I was a kid. I, I, horror scared me.

[00:19:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, same, same. So, so much so, that I’m not a horror person as an adult. I would say the times that were where I was exposed to scary movies were accidentally like I remember being a little kid, little, I mean, not a little kid, but like a young, uh, kid and seeing some, like, I seen like 20 minutes of a, uh, of Friday the 13th, I think is that camp Crystal Lake?

[00:20:29] Paul Scheer: Yeah. That’s yeah.

[00:20:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. I think I saw 10 to 15 minutes of that on TV and was like horrified. Um, The scene in Poltergeist where the guy looks in the mirror and his face melts off of his skull, terrifying. Like, there are certain moments in certain things that I saw when I was, I’m gonna say like, 9, 10, 11 years old. Um, I saw The Exorcist and I saw A Clockwork Orange and both of those movies were terrifying. Like truly rocked me,

[00:21:00] Paul Scheer: Like, what’s so scary about those movies. I think like sometimes for me anyway, like I’m coming in like not having seen anything. And I remember seeing Freddy’s face. Cause I think when we were growing up, it was Freddy and Jason were really like, that was, those were the, the main people at the box office. Like those were the scary, the scary people.

[00:21:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. To me, Jason and Michael Myers.

[00:21:22] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.

[00:21:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Cause I’m a little older. So Fred didn’t come along until I was a little older and Freddy had a little bit more camp to him, you know, but, um, Jason and Michael Myers were these, these stoic and leather face. Were these stoic. Like just murder machines.

[00:21:40] Paul Scheer: It’s like, you know, I, so I really did avoid it. I think the ones that I liked were the ones that I found myself like gravitating towards Psycho, like Psycho was something I could handle. And I was like, okay, Psycho and Jaws were like, I felt like, okay, I can, I can hang on something that is scary, but I could actually tolerate it. And I felt like that was the safe space.

[00:22:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, I loved the movie, like The Omen, you know, I, cause I was like, Oh, this is an incredible story. You know, The Exorcist I lo I remember loving and in high school, like The Omen, The Exorcist, those are the movies that I, the horror movies that I would go back to.

[00:22:18] Cause I thought that, I mean, they’re amazing movies versus the, I, you know, it wasn’t until way later in life. That like the, The Nightmare on Elm streets or the, the, the fun to watch with a group, you know, uh, rent, cause it was always for me and I’m sure for you too, it was about renting a movie where you would watch with a group of kids in a basement, you know, and you’d watch Motel Hell or you’d watch these crazy eighties, you know, Gonzo slasher, you know, I spit on your grave kind of crazo movies, you know.

[00:22:49] Paul Scheer: Well, like, I think that like, I was lucky because by the time i was like getting out of high school or yeah like in that zone, Scream came out and Scream kind of started to deconstruct everything so then i got into like the meta version of it where it’s like the faculty and all these other fun it like there was a an era of we understand horror movies and we’re having fun like with them and but i gotta tell you i got freaked the fuck out by a horror movie recently not even recently within the last couple of years. As an adult.

[00:23:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Was it M3gan? Was it M3gan?

[00:23:22] Paul Scheer: Meg, I was so scared of that robot. She dances so crazy. Um, Hereditary fucked me up. Like it fucked me up. Like, I, and I haven’t been like, and that’s a weird feeling as an adult with children to feel like, oh, I’m scared of a movie.

[00:23:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah. No, he does such a good job Ari Aster of getting under your skin. It’s he’s really exceptional.

[00:23:48] Paul Scheer: God, like it got me. I remember I was watching it on an airplane and then I was staying in a hotel in North Carolina by myself and was frightened. And there’s no reason to be frightened. There’s nothing like, but it’s like I was. I’m scared. I didn’t, I haven’t felt that way in such a long time.

[00:24:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Ooh. Yeah. Oh, that’s funny. Yeah. But I don’t consume a ton of that content, you know, like I’ve never seen an, an Annabeth movie, Annabelle. Yeah. I’ve never seen a Conjuring movie.

[00:24:17] I’ve never seen a Purge. Yeah. Oh, I’m sure they’re a blast, but I don’t ever, those aren’t movies that I’m like, Oh, I got to watch. Although I got to watch The Substance, you know, I’m excited to watch The Substance.

[00:24:28] Paul Scheer: I’m excited to see smile 2.

[00:24:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay, I didn’t see smile one. I’ve never seen a Terrifier.

[00:24:34] Paul Scheer: Oh, I don’t want to. Terrifier, to me, is exactly what I don’t want to see.

[00:24:38] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ve never seen a Saw. I’ve never seen a Hostel.

[00:24:40] Paul Scheer: Yeah, those are, those are the ones that I don’t love as much. I’m like, give me the Evil Dead. Give me, like, The Others, whatever. You know, I’m like, I’m more in that. vein of like.

[00:24:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, it was the others. The Nicole Kidman one?

[00:24:52] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:24:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Great. Love that movie. Love that movie.

[00:24:55] Paul Scheer: Yeah. I don’t want to see anybody’s body getting flayed. I just said that’s, that’s not fun.

[00:24:59] Jason Mantzoukas: I take no joy in, in a human centipede or, uh, you know, or, or, or any of that kind of stuff.

[00:25:07] Paul Scheer: I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. Um, all right. What else we got, Scott?

[00:25:11] Scott Sonne: Alright, I have a very important question from Emily Aaron 10 who wants to know fuck, marry, kill Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, or Michael Myers?

[00:25:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow, really hard. I think I’m gonna marry Freddy Just because if I’m going to spend my life with him, he’s at least a conversationalist and he’s funny as hell, you know, I mean, he’s got, he’s got the jokes.

[00:25:34] Paul Scheer: I agree with that. I’m on the same page there.

[00:25:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, and then, but I mean, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are so similar to me and I spent quite a lot of my life because I wasn’t super familiar with either of their mythologies, just conflating the two of them.

[00:25:50] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:25:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, so, I mean, I guess, you know, who wears the hockey mask?

[00:25:56] Paul Scheer: That’s Jason.

[00:25:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Jason wears the hockey mask? So, I guess I’ll fuck him, because that’s just two Jasons, right? And that’s gonna be, that’s, that’s powerful. That’s very powerful. To fuck someone with your, to fuck someone with your own name, that’s like, that’s your name squared.

[00:26:10] Paul Scheer: You gotta do that. Yeah, if you have that chance, do that.

[00:26:13] Jason Mantzoukas: There’s power in that. And so then I guess I’m, so I’m fucking Jason Voorhees and I am killing, um, although he, I believe is unkillable, uh, Michael Myers.

[00:26:22] Paul Scheer: Yeah. I’m, I’m with you on the Freddie because, you know, like we said, he’s fun. Um, and then I have to look at, You know, what I think about Jason is there, like I’ve seen Jason movies where he’s all made, uh, like, uh, bugs and, uh, lizards and all, I don’t need all that, like Mike Myers is just a disturbed kid, right? He’s, he’s grown up.

[00:26:42] Jason Mantzoukas: He’s just, he’s just Austin Powers. Am I doing the wrong Michael myers?

[00:26:47] Paul Scheer: No, no. Now we have done it. All right. So that, yeah, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna. I’m gonna kill, uh, Voorhees. I’m gonna, I’m gonna fuck Michael Myers and that, and then, you know, that’s it with the mask off.

[00:26:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Cause, and this is a real conversation topic. When did Fuck Mary Kill become the. totemic question to ask everything in every scenario now we ask that we are asked from the audience, from this audience all the time. Fuck Mary, Kill. I’d say every time you pull questions, Scott, there’s at least one to seven fuck Mary kills in there. When did this happen?

[00:27:30] Paul Scheer: This is like a weird thing. And I know that they’ve changed it, right? Like there’s like a new way to do Fuck Mary Kill. Like, uh, because it’s a little, I mean, if you think about it.

[00:27:38] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s woke. Let me guess. The woke police came for Fuck Mary Kill.

[00:27:43] Paul Scheer: Like it is a crazy, even like, cause that was to me. As a child, you’re like, okay, I get it. I get the premise of it, but it is like when you take it down at a level, you’re like, wow, killing, so I’m killing someone because originally when it was only when it was positioned to you, or at least when it was positioned to me, it was always like women, like beautiful women.

[00:28:04] It wasn’t like, uh, it wasn’t like a, uh, it wasn’t like Freddie or Jason. I have no problem. Uh, Killing Freddie or Jason. I don’t know, you know.

[00:28:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Sure, sure. But when it’s like, Fuck Mary, Kill the original Charlie’s angels. You’re like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:28:16] Paul Scheer: Yeah, I gotta get in here.

[00:28:17] Jason Mantzoukas: K. Jackson like that.

[00:28:22] Paul Scheer: Oh, my God. Yeah, that really has become like, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a.

[00:28:26] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s like, it’s now, I think, passed through cultural relevance.

[00:28:31] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:28:31] Jason Mantzoukas: And is now, I believe, annoying. Like I would be happy to never answer a fuck, marry, kill for the rest of my life.

[00:28:38] Paul Scheer: Well, I mean, I, I agree with you too. I don’t fully get it. Uh, I, I like this one that, uh, somebody started called, uh, make out, marry and move on.

[00:28:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Fuck, marry, kill.

[00:28:53] Paul Scheer: All right. What else we got?

[00:28:54] Scott Sonne: Alright, fuck, marry, kill.

[00:28:56] Paul Scheer: Ahhh.

[00:28:58] Scott Sonne: Sorry, sorry, um, alright. Joseph Werndon wants to know Corn mazes, for or against?

[00:29:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Seems fine, seems harmless. Uh, here’s what I’ll say. I’ve never been in a corn maze.

[00:29:12] Paul Scheer: Wow.

[00:29:13] Jason Mantzoukas: I don’t think, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a corn maze.

[00:29:15] Paul Scheer: You know, I, I don’t think I’ve actually, well, yes, I have been in a corn maze. I was in a corn maze, uh, last Halloween. Uh, there’s a big one out here in LA where they have like a pumpkin patch and it’s big, a big fun, uh, uh, corn maze. Here’s the thing. It’s just a maze made out of, uh, you know, uh, there’s nothing to it. You like maze. You don’t like a maze. Uh, we did have a human giant sketch called corn maze, which I, uh, still one of my favorite ones where, um, Rob is breaking up with a girl and then he, uh, And, and then sends her into the corn maze where she’s forever lost and, and it pulls out and you see all these women just lost in a corn maze of his own design where he’s, uh, kept them forever. So I can’t think of corn.

[00:29:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Mazes are something that like if you didn’t do as a kid. You know, um, it’s strange to go to as a childless adult.

[00:30:05] Paul Scheer: Yeah, you can’t go to a corn maze, like, for fun.

[00:30:06] Jason Mantzoukas: I can’t be wandering around a corn maze asking kids, like, How do I get out of here? Hey, you wanna come explore this, this path with me?

[00:30:15] Paul Scheer: Corn maze, the thing about corn mazes too is, um, You like it’s a, it’s farm based, right? It, they, they got, they got, they could just cut through it. Uh, and I, and I’m looking right here. I just typed in corn maze on Google. There’s so many corn mazes near us, Jason, like a ridiculous amount of corn.

[00:30:32] Jason Mantzoukas: No, thanks.

[00:30:34] Paul Scheer: But corn mazes in the dark, uh, I’ve done that and that’s, that’s scary.

[00:30:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. I can see that. Sure. Yeah.

[00:30:41] Paul Scheer: I mean, any maze in the dark is scary, I guess. All right. What else we got?

[00:30:44] Scott Sonne: Rebecca Johnson.

[00:30:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Hang on a second. Scott, shut the fuck up. Paul, will you Google, will you Google what’s the biggest corn maze?

[00:30:52] Paul Scheer: Okay.

[00:30:53] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m so curious just because I’m like, wouldn’t it be cool if you entered a corn maze that you were guaranteed it was going to take the whole day to get out of?

[00:31:01] Paul Scheer: Okay. Okay. The largest corn maze is, uh, Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove, Illinois. Uh, the map is made up of four smaller mazes and has Nine to 10 miles of trails.

[00:31:15] It has multiple checkpoints, three bridges, a perimeter path, and no dead ends. Uh, it’s, uh, and basically, uh, it will rent out and it has a theme. So in 2023, the maze theme. Celebrated 30 years of Jurassic Park and featured scenes from the film. And, uh, yeah, so other large major, uh, other one, if you want to go closer to California, uh, Cool Patch Pumpkins is a 63 acre maze that has a.

[00:31:42] Jason Mantzoukas: CPP?

[00:31:43] Paul Scheer: CPP.

[00:31:44] Jason Mantzoukas: They, they know what’s up.

[00:31:45] Paul Scheer: And Cool Patch Pumpkins has won the Guinness world record twice. Oh, for the world’s largest corn maze.

[00:31:51] Jason Mantzoukas: I do think it would be interesting to go into a corn maze that you needed to bring like food and water because you knew it was going to just take it’s, it’s a corn maze that’s on like six acres of land.

[00:32:02] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:32:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Wouldn’t that be, I would be, I would be intrigued by that.

[00:32:05] Paul Scheer: Um, this year is by the way, uh, I told you that one has a theme every year, the Jurassic park one. This year, the theme is, uh, John Deere tractors. And I got to tell you, Jason, I’m looking, I’m looking at the over, let me just, I’m going to share my screen for one second with you, because this is the corn maze, the, the one I just told you about.

[00:32:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, wow.

[00:32:22] Paul Scheer: Isn’t that crazy?

[00:32:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Holy cow. Oh, that’s cool. See, that’s, that is interesting to me. I will say.

[00:32:28] Paul Scheer: That is, uh, what we’re looking at is a, a giant ass corn maze that has, uh.

[00:32:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Is this what it actually is or is this a rendering?

[00:32:38] Paul Scheer: No, this is what it is. Yeah.

[00:32:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. Okay. That’s pretty cool.

[00:32:42] Paul Scheer: And it’s like, just look at the, uh, Richardson adventure farm, but it’s basically, uh, It’s like a carved out painting of like, there’s a picture of John Deere.

[00:32:51] Jason Mantzoukas: How is there not a Blumhouse movie that’s just set in a corn? How is there not been a children of the corn maze movie?

[00:33:00] Paul Scheer: I think as corn mazes at a certain point, they run out of steam. The Hubie Halloween.

[00:33:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, okay. I didn’t see Hubie Halloween.

[00:33:09] Paul Scheer: You should, I think it’s pretty fun.

[00:33:10] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ll watch it. Sure. Um, uh, it seems too scary.

[00:33:18] Paul Scheer: All right. What else we got?

[00:33:19] Scott Sonne: All right. Got this question from a lot of people, but Vintage From The Mitten wants to know, what was each of yours favorite Halloween costume as a child?

[00:33:30] Paul Scheer: Well, I can tell you this. I, I I’m realizing my son has this problem too. I wanted to dress up and really trick people that I was this other thing.

[00:33:44] And no matter what I got. And I was like, well, I’m not, I don’t look exactly like this other thing. And I would get kind of paralyzed by it. So the one year in particular that I remember, and I’ve had some cool costumes. I had Indiana Jones, I had a ninja, but this is the costume that I remember the most because it paralyzed me the most.

[00:34:02] I was Jack Nicholson’s Joker from Batman.

[00:34:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa.

[00:34:05] Paul Scheer: And I got a mask, a Joker mask, not, I didn’t paint my face. I had the Joker mask and I was dressed in a purple tuxedo or, you know, whatever the suit, and I would go around. And because of my voice couldn’t sound like Jack Nicholson’s. Now I’m about to tell you the creepiest thing of all time, I would just go up to people’s houses and just hold my bag out, but not say a word because I was worried.

[00:34:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Because you couldn’t be voice accurate?

[00:34:29] Paul Scheer: Yes, and so, people would like, so, and the mask was a little bit bigger on my head, so I did look like a Mike Myers, just standing there like, oh, and who are you? Silent. Well, okay. And who, and where, which house are you from? Silent. Like I was creeping people the fuck out. And yeah, that was the one that I remember. I was like, Oh, I may, I may have messed up on that one.

[00:34:52] Jason Mantzoukas: My mom made me two incredible costumes that were, I would say most of, I would say these two costumes were the, to me, then and for the rest of my life were like the most iconic Halloween costumes I had, one of which was Darth Vader and one of which was a stormtrooper and they were both, my mom made them and they were super like detailed and incredible and the stormtrooper I think I wore them. Like, uh, two years in a row.

[00:35:23] Paul Scheer: What kind of, what kind of shielding are you wearing there for storm troopers? What do you got? Like, what’s that?

[00:35:30] Jason Mantzoukas: So she would, she would get like the, the off the rack, uh, thing so that it had the mask. Okay. Um, and I, I think got chest plate and then my mom made all of these arm guards and leg guards.

[00:35:45] Yeah. All of the. All of the white armor, uh, was, was like, you know, she sewed a whole, like, white armor set, each piece was, I’ll tell you what, I bet, I’m certain there’s somewhere a picture of it that I will find and, and I’ll try and put it up or something.

[00:36:03] Paul Scheer: I, I wanna see that.

[00:36:04] Jason Mantzoukas: On our thing. But, um, they were, it was incredible. And they were, all I wanted was, Star Wars. Um, and then later in life for most of my, like, I’d say thirties every year, I dressed as a princess Leia, uh, with the, uh, the wig, the buns wig and the long flowing dress, uh, except with my full beard. Um, and so I did that for, I mean, for probably 10 years in the early two thousands, I was princess Leia.

[00:36:35] Paul Scheer: I, all right. So, uh, you’ll be happy to know that this year, my youngest son is going as Boba Fett and we’ve been working on his costume. And I am very happy because what you just described is what I’m doing. I got him the base costume, which is kind of like a big pajama, but then I got him, uh, gray pants. I got him some, uh, like things for his knees.

[00:36:56] I got him like things for his arm. I got him a sack. He is ready to go. I’ve been so, so, psyched about this costume, but he is all of, and I told you, we’ve been talking about Star Wars a bunch. I’ve been watching a lot of Star Wars with him. He’s now getting into the Clone Wars. We’re getting it.

[00:37:11] Jason Mantzoukas: I was just going to say, are you watching the episodes of Clone Wars where he’s a kid, where Boba Fett is your son’s age?

[00:37:19] Paul Scheer: Yes. We started to, we watched the one where Boba Fett does that, like, um, like a heist mission.

[00:37:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:37:25] Paul Scheer: Yes. Right. Right. And, uh, so I’ve been, you know, the key. He wants to watch so much. I mean, I spent the weekend drawing Cad Bane pictures with him, you know? So we’re, he’s all over the map because the Star Wars, the Star Wars Legos game has brought them in in so many different directions.

[00:37:39] So we’re, we’re, we’re finding things and he’s really enjoying them. So, uh.

[00:37:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Cad bane, one of my all time favorite. I’m I like started, I jumped up and started yelling and screaming when Cad Bane appeared in live action, Star Wars, uh, in the mandalorian.

[00:37:55] Paul Scheer: That was so good. I love it. Um, all right. What else we got, Scott?

[00:37:59] Scott Sonne: Okay. Kevin Langley three sent in a Halloween movie hot take to get your comment on. He says the Halloween movies are basically the Fast and Furious franchise of the horror genre.

[00:38:13] Paul Scheer: Okay. Well, does that, that all he says?

[00:38:16] Scott Sonne: That’s it.

[00:38:16] Jason Mantzoukas: I can’t speak knowledgeably about this, but I didn’t we do one where they were in space?

[00:38:21] Paul Scheer: I, you know, I think flawed premise because he’s making us do the work. Flawed premise.

[00:38:27] Jason Mantzoukas: No, yeah. Here’s what I’ll say. Here’s what I’ll say. Here’s next thing to retire after fuck Mary. Kill. Hot people’s hot takes.

[00:38:35] Paul Scheer: Oh.

[00:38:36] Jason Mantzoukas: i’m not interested in other people’s hot takes.

[00:38:39] Scott Sonne: I gotta I gotta take the fall on this one because when I put out the call I said feel free to send in your hot takes.

[00:38:44] Paul Scheer: All right.

[00:38:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Well Scott, then you fucking fucked us Scott.

[00:38:49] Paul Scheer: Here’s the other thing I want to put with hot takes being banned um shoot your shot. People say, shoot, shoot your.

[00:38:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Get rid of it.

[00:38:55] Paul Scheer: Your shot, I’m done with shoot your shot shot.

[00:38:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Get rid of it.

[00:38:58] Paul Scheer: Shoot your shot doesn’t mean just do something st Like, it’s like.

[00:39:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Shoot your shot. I don’t need to.

[00:39:03] Paul Scheer: I had to, I had to go up to her and I had to go up to Kylie Jenner and fucking ask her to marry me and shoot my shot. Like, no, it’s not gonna work.

[00:39:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Nope.

[00:39:11] Paul Scheer: Like, yeah, you like, here’s my thing. Shoot your shot on a basketball court, like don’t shoot your shot in the parking lot at a Ralph’s. I feel like in the sense of like a basketball will potentially go in the hoop if you’re on a basketball court, but people are now saying, I got to shoot my shot. Like, you know, we’re near this will never.

[00:39:30] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re not in the game.

[00:39:32] Paul Scheer: You’re not even in the game.

[00:39:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Don’t shoot a shot. You’re not in the game.

[00:39:37] Paul Scheer: I hate the shoot the shot.

[00:39:38] Jason Mantzoukas: I hate shooting the shot. I hate a hot take. All of these things are not conversation starters, their conversation enders.

[00:39:48] Paul Scheer: I’m just like, I’m out. And here’s the thing, I guess is what this person wants us to say is like, well, Halloween started off as a very simple franchise and then it’s grown into crazy things, but the truth is it hasn’t grown that much.

[00:39:57] It’s I mean, yes, there’s like that season of the witch, which is an outlier. And then there’s like, but it’s always fucking Strode. And it’s, oh, it’s, it’s the same fucking thing. And the David Gordon Green version, same fucking thing. It’s it’s no, it’s not.

[00:40:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, I don’t think it’s that either and so I think your hot take is in fact Michael Langley 3 cold as ice.

[00:40:23] Paul Scheer: Oh, you know, uh, you know.

[00:40:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Did I remember his name, right?

[00:40:25] Scott Sonne: I deleted him from the screen already.

[00:40:27] Paul Scheer: Wow. Um, you know what I wanted, uh, okay, well, you know, let me see. I have one thing here. I just want to see if, uh, when.

[00:40:34] Jason Mantzoukas: You know what people, while you’re looking it up, I’ll say it’s spooky season. So people should be watching one of my favorite TV shows, Evil, the King’s show, uh, Evil, which is on, um, uh, Paramount plus, I believe, or Peacock, I can’t remember whichever one it’s Paramount. It’s gotta be Paramount. Um, fantastic show. Fantastic show. Love it.

[00:40:56] Paul Scheer: Uh, but also I want to really recommend the reboot of Scare Tactics, which is now back out on the air. I love scare tactics. Yes.

[00:41:04] Jason Mantzoukas: I know. You were like maybe the first person who I ever heard about Scare Tactics from back in the day.

[00:41:09] Paul Scheer: So scare tactics sold, uh, or they at least transitioned the rights to Jordan Peele.

[00:41:15] Oh, and, um, yes, and, uh, and Ilan Gale, who is behind Fuck Boy Island and the Bachelor in Paradise and the bachelor franchise, Ilan, uh, movie producer and everything. So these two have teamed up. It’s great. It’s great.

[00:41:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, great. I want that.

[00:41:32] Paul Scheer: Speaking of Jordan Peele, I, I did this, uh, the other day. I want to see if where you fall on this. Jordan Peele was on tonight’s show and he ranked his top six horror films. I’ll give it to you and tell you what, I know you’re not into horror, but these, I think transcend, right? They transcend well, number six Saw, which by the way, I have to say, I saw Saw recently I seen Saw, and, uh, it was way better than I thought.

[00:41:58] Jason Mantzoukas: I seen Saw.

[00:42:00] Paul Scheer: And, uh, carry always great. It’s, it’s, uh, it’s much more of a thriller fun. So he says, yeah, it’s not like it’s, um, it’s less crazy than you’d think. It’s good. Um, Saws is number six. His number five is Get Out, his own movie, which honestly, I got to say, I don’t disagree.

[00:42:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I agree. Yeah.

[00:42:19] Paul Scheer: Uh, number four, uh, The Shining.

[00:42:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Home run.

[00:42:24] Paul Scheer: Great one. Number three, Psycho. Yeah. Great. Number two, The Exorcist.

[00:42:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Great.

[00:42:30] Paul Scheer: And his number one, Nightmare on Elm Street.

[00:42:32] Jason Mantzoukas: I think that’s a great list. I think that’s a fantastic list. Um, Saw is the only one I haven’t seen. The rest of those I’ve seen multiple times, you know, uh, The Exorcist, uh, The Shining, I think incredible. These are all also like auteur driven, like horror movies.

[00:42:51] Paul Scheer: By the way, I have to say, when you watch Nightmare on Elm street, the first one, it’s way better than what it’s become. I mean, that’s the other thing too. These things start to become these other things.

[00:43:00] Jason Mantzoukas: I would just, the only thing I would put in there is The Omen just because I thought, I love The Omen. And oh, and also, I’m sorry. Also for me, I think because it was so part of the, like I said earlier, the period of time when you rented scary movies and watch them with people was Rosemary’s Baby. It was like a guaranteed, like a spooky, scary, you were gonna watch that movie and then make out, you know, that was, that was what that was all about.

[00:43:29] Paul Scheer: Um, all right. Is that all we got, Scott?

[00:43:32] Scott Sonne: We could do one more, one more.

[00:43:33] Paul Scheer: All right, let’s do it.

[00:43:34] Scott Sonne: Todd van meter wants to know, have either of you left a place because you felt a weird presence or something felt off?

[00:43:43] Paul Scheer: I can answer this one that, um, that I, that will implicate me more than anything. I is my anniversary with June. And I decided I tried to find a fun place where we could go like a little like staycation. We just had kids are just had a kid. And it was like, we didn’t want to be away for that long, but we were like, let’s just go take a night. I did some research and I found this like, I thought very cute, quaint boutique hotel. When June stepped inside because of my penchant for, uh, all things immersive and haunted houses and all these sort of gatherings, June thought that I was walking her into a immersive hotel and, uh, refused to believe me that it was not like she was not part of a, uh, some, uh, this wasn’t a ruse and, and, and would like entered into the room with such hesitation and was like, nope, I nope, nope.

[00:44:38] And then was like, we gotta go. I don’t believe you and we got to go and so June left because she thought I was bringing her into some sort of like overnight haunted house. We went to another hotel down the road.

[00:44:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, you did, in fact, leave. Oh, that’s so funny. She refused to believe you.

[00:44:54] Paul Scheer: Refuse to believe me. And then she was like, well, I got a bad feeling from this place. It is bad. And it was, this is like what ram. It was a really nice hotel. The guy actually refunded my money because he thought it was. Yeah. He was like, I, I don’t even know what happened here.

[00:45:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, that’s so funny. I love that. That’s great. And to answer the question, uh, no, I never have, I, I’ve never had that, that sense, that feeling. I’ve been in places where people have come, like a hotel in New York that I used to go to a lot, that I had multiple people who came to my room be like, Ooh, I don’t like this room. This, I don’t like this place.

[00:45:30] Paul Scheer: Oh, wow.

[00:45:30] Jason Mantzoukas: This place gives me bad vibes. And then there was like, there was like a lot of noise coming from the room above us. And then, uh, then realized that that room was not, there was no room above us. It was just the, um, the, the, like the attic and the roof. Um, but I just never, I’m not, I don’t know. I, I’m not on, uh, in tune with that frequency. Um, I never experienced it, but like friends of mine who like were there were like, this place, you shouldn’t stay here. This place is creepy.

[00:46:00] Paul Scheer: Oh, wow. But you didn’t feel it. If you didn’t feel it, then you didn’t feel it.

[00:46:03] Jason Mantzoukas: I just didn’t. I don’t know.

[00:46:04] Paul Scheer: I like it.

[00:46:05] Jason Mantzoukas: I do think it’s like a, I do think it’s a frequency you’re either in tune to or not, you know?

[00:46:10] Paul Scheer: I agree with that. Uh, I think that like, I’m open to things, but I’m also not getting, uh, visitations all the time.

[00:46:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:46:18] Paul Scheer: And that’s, and that’s the way we, that’s the way we end it. Uh, all right. Happy Halloween.

[00:46:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Happy spooky season, everybody. And if you are dressing up as a character from one of our movies, send us a picture.

[00:46:32] Paul Scheer: By the way, send us a picture. Yeah, that’s great.

[00:46:35] Jason Mantzoukas: How Did This Get Made costume inspiration, whether that is from one of the movies we’ve covered or a joke that we’ve made, or whether it’s us that you’re dressed as, whatever it is, send us those pictures.

[00:46:46] Paul Scheer: One of my favorite things of all time was our Halloween tour last year, where we were able to kind of, uh.

[00:46:51] Jason Mantzoukas: It was so great.

[00:46:52] Paul Scheer: Yeah, I loved it. Uh, it was really, really fun. Um, all right. So send us those pics. We’ll see you next time. Bye for now.

[00:46:57] All right. Thank you, Jason. And thank you to everyone who wrote in with a question.

[00:47:01] Thank you, Scott, for putting that all together. But now it is finally time to announce our next film. Next week, we’ll be going from a serial killer who’s big to a serial killer who wears wigs. That’s right. Not really a rhyme. A serial killer who’s big to a serial killer who wears wigs. It doesn’t really work, but I’m trying.

[00:47:20] Uh, that’s right. Next episode, we’ll be watching the 1999 thriller, Eye of the Beholder, starring Ewan McGregor, Ashley Judd, and Jason Priestley. Yep. Uh, here’s a breakdown of Eye of the Beholder’s plot. “A private eye shadows, a female serial killer of men all over the USA, as he occasionally acts as her guardian angel.”

[00:47:40] And by the way, that is a bad breakdown of the film. Rotten tomatoes gives us a 9 percent score in the tomato meter and Jay Carr from the Boston Globe writes,

[00:47:48] “Eye of the Beholder is yet another example of how bad movies can happen to good people.”

[00:47:53] And that is true. I mean, a lot of good people in this movie. Lot of good people in this movie and this movie is a slog. Anyway, listen to the trailer for Eye of the Beholder.

[00:48:05] Trailer Audio: There are people we should never watch, we should never see, and there are obsessions, we should never follow.

[00:48:19] Shade. She went north about a half hour ago.

[00:48:27] Eye of the Beholder. What are you doing? Don’t do this to me.

[00:48:32] Paul Scheer: Eye of the Beholder is available to stream for free on Hoopla, Kanopy, and Plex, or you can rent it on Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV. In addition to Hoopla and Kanopy, I encourage you to check out Libby, which is another digital media service offered to you by your local public library that allows you to consume movies, TV, music, audio books, eBooks, comics for free.

[00:48:51] People, I hope you have a plan to get out and vote, research your candidates, find out what you want to vote on, but most importantly, yes, the big election is here. But it’s the small election, the ballot proposals, do your research. It’s important. It has more, there’s a lot of shit out there, especially these props that are so confusing.

[00:49:13] So don’t save it for the day of there are voting guides out there. You can go to a pod save America. They will break down ballots because they’re written to be confusing. And you think, Oh, I’m voting for this, but you’re actually voting for that. Um, so make a plan, get ready to vote. Uh, and, uh, Good luck people get those votes in.

[00:49:33] We appreciate it. We need it. Anyway, we’ll see you next time. That is all for Last Looks. And if you like the show, please remember to, you know, just follow us, uh, and rate and review us on Apple podcasts or Spotify and make sure you have automatic downloads turned on. You can visit us on social media and a big shout out to the Action Jackson 5 for making our opening theme, a big thank you to our producers, Scott Sonne, and Molly Reynolds, and our movie picking producer, Avaryll Halley, our associate producer, Jess Cisneros, and our engineer, Casey Holford. We’ll see you next week for Eye of the Beholder.
