Frozen Lake Fears, Killer Car Movies, and Vampire Kids

Is it possible to break a fleshlight because

they're using too much flesh or overstimulation?

Just asking for a friend.

Asking for a friend asking for a friend.

Let's move on.

Bloody disgusting is churning out the rumor mill that

a new Friday 13th is coming, Halloween 2025.

Now, a lot of fans want a frozen lake, right?

Myself included, frozen hellscape.

You know, I want a frozen lake like holiday plot.

And they had an article, Sean Cummingham, he's like

supposedly talking about how he read a scrap sequence

with some, either in the new movie or the

new show that they were supposed to make.

And he was Sean Cunningham, if you don't

know, he's the old producer from the original

Friday 13th movies who was in some legal

disputes with the original writer, etc. Etc.

Whatever, which is kind of bogged down the

future of the Jason Voorhees Friday 13th stuff.

But anyway, he supposedly read a scrapped sequence with

some kids playing ice hockey and then they upset

Jason and then he, you know, gets rid of

them and they fall through the ice and it's

dramatic and dark and intense or whatever.

But hey, I'd love to have like

a, like a Jason holiday movie, right?

Like the Voorhees extended family, they're gathering

for their holiday celebrations at like a

Thanksgiving thing or a Christmas thing.

And of course Uncle Jason shows up.

You know, that's good cinema right there. I'd love it.

And the posters would be great too because you

could have the hockey mask with a, you know,

Santa Claus, a Christmas type deal on and it'd

be real fun, funny and fun and scary.

You could do everything you want to do in this movie.

Anyway, I also heard Nocturne is

getting season two in January.

And if you remember the spoiler alert, if

you remember the ending of Nocturne season one,

the cartoon anime thing that they launched on

Netflix there with the Castlevania Dracula video games.

Alucard, son of Dracula shows up at

the end of nocturne season two.

Of course, you might remember him.

He was in the main, you know, the Castlevania cartoon.

And he's from the symphony.

Symphony of the night.

Yeah, symphony of the night video game, which I

think was released on Ps one, PlayStation one.

But I mean, you know, whatever again.

And I go back and forth between how much I

love Alucard, how much I love vampire hunter D.

Because both the damn peers,

they're both half vampires.

They're both the disregarded bastard sons

of king or Prince Dracula.

But the whole thing is, you know, which one is better

written I tend to lean towards vampire hunter d over Alucard,

but still, you know, the idea of a half vampire son

of Dracula fighting Dracula is a great concept.

Whoever does it is.

It's fun all around.

I also heard that Tom Holland and Aston

Butler are supposedly going to play some drug

smuggling brothers in a movie called American Speed.

Hey, I'm wet already.

Alright, trivia time for tonight's movie.

Tonight's movie is the car.

1977, a small desert town is terrorized

by a powerful, seemingly possessed car.

And the local sheriff may be the

only one who can stop it.

Now, the make and model of the car is

a 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III black coupe.

Although it's never mentioned in the movie,

they can't really identify the car.

It's too fast, it's too sleek, it's too deadly.

They just call it the black car.

It was customized to look more sinister by taking

the car's roof three inches in, lowering it more

than usual, and altering its side fenders to make

it the same length again, both higher and longer.

There were four cars built for the movie, one used for

close ups, while three were used for the stunt work.

Two of the cars were destroyed in

the course of making the movie.

One of the cars is kept in a private collection.

It's actually an eerie coincidence.

The wife is dead in the movie of the main character

and his fiance gets killed by the car in the movie.

And then in real life, James Brolin's first wife

was killed in a car accident as well.

Kind of an eerie coincidence there.

Now, James Brolin, obviously famous actor dad

of Josh Brolin and their real name

is Bruderland, which is like a.

From Switzerland or something like that.

Swiss name, whatever.

And everyone knows that.

You know, they're like, oh, what's James

Brolin's claim to fame in modern stories?

He'd probably be like, oh, because he's

married to Barbra Streisand or whatever.

But you might know that story.

But did you know he was also in a

makeup test for the original Planet of the Apes,

1968, playing Cornelius in the makeup test?

Obviously he wouldn't then end up with the part.

But interesting details about James Brolin.

No, he was like in tv

and movies, seventies, eighties, nineties.

Later on, I'll tell you about a movie

I saw him in recently, RJ Armstrong.

He's a western character actor.

He actually shows up as Clemence, who I, who

I love and refer to as the angry husband. Right.

That's what I nicknamed his character in this movie.

There's a golden screen actress, you know,

from, like, the forties and fifties. She's rather.

She's rather stunning, and she's still a good looker in

this movie, which is like, you know, 20 or 30

years later after her peak time as an actor.

But it's Doris Dowling.

She actually plays the battered wife, unfortunately, in the

movie, but she still looks like a killer.

She's still stunning on screen.

You can find this movie on the Internet movie archive.

You're like, where can I stream this?

Where can I download it?

Can I get a vhs?

Can I get a dvd? Probably. I don't know.

I don't know if the thing's

actually out of print or not.

But anyway, the Internet movie archive, right?

Or just type in Internet archive, the car 77.

You should be able to find it.

It is weird that the movie starts

out with a quote from Anton Lavey.

Anton Lavey, I think, is one of

the dudes that wrote, like, the satanic

Bible, developed the religion of Satanism.

There's no ties to this movie about it being possessed.

I mean, spoiler alert.

Towards the finale of the movie, they try to blow

the thing up, and in the smoke, it looks like

a face appears, obviously trying to tie in the evil

concept, but they never really narrow it down.

There's, like, a native american grandmother who

witnesses one of the murders of the

car, killing one of the deputies.

And she says, like, oh, there's an evil wind

that shows up first to announce the car.

So, yeah, so if you notice in the

movie, there's a bunch of wind, then the

car shows up, but it also blasts its

horn through the whole movie announcing itself anyway.

But the.

I feel like that must have

been, like, a production decision, right?

An editorial decision.

I tried to look through during the research.

Like, if I could find, like, an article

or some kind of mention in IMDb or

anywhere, I didn't really find a reason.

But I think, like, they probably made a decision, the

studio or one of the producers or maybe the director.

Like, let's tag a quote at the beginning

of this movie to identify that the car

is possessed, that it is satanic evil, or

the presence of something like some supernatural evil.

Because if you just watch the movie

straightforward, it doesn't have that element.

Like, there's no, there's no logical reason

for the car to be evil. It just is.

And it's just killing people, which is funny, because there's

a french filmmaker who I love, whose name is.

Oh, man, Quentin Depardieu or something like that.

Sometimes I get his name right.

Sometimes I get it wrong, but he made this

movie called Deerskin about a deerskin jacket that kind

of, like, absorbs the ego of the main character

and makes him a serial killer.

And then he made a funny parody of

the Power Rangers by making some team that

smokes cigarettes to get their powers.

And he did this one movie called Rubber,

which is about a rubber tire that comes

to life and starts killing people.

And he's got these long desert vistas and these

desert highways and fighting the local law enforcement.

It's very similar to the car.

So I feel like, oh, that, that french filmmaker

definitely probably saw the car one time or another

before he made, like, you know, the comedy horror

movie rubber, about the rubber tire, because there's even,

like, close ups of the tires of this car.

Because in the car, 77, you can't kill it.

I mean, you can shoot it.

The bullets bounce off.

You can't, you can't deflate the tires.

Nothing, nothing seems to be working.

I'm way off my notes here.

I'm, like, giving you extra details.

So I don't know if you can tell that I like the movie

or not, but I'm going to try to stay on track anyway.

Now back to our favorite bits from the

podcast already in progress with the car 77.

The movie actually does that cool thing where you

see from the killer's perspective as it tracks some

of its victims through like a red tint.

I thought that was pretty cool.

You got this side drama unfolding between the abused

housewife, who we mentioned earlier, Doris Dowling playing the

lady, and RG Armstrong is playing her husband.

But anyway, I just call her.

I just call her, I mean, she's the housewife.

What do you, what else can I say?

Let's just boil it down for you.

So anyway, the side drama unfolding between

the housewife, the conkled husband, and the

old deputy is absolutely fascinating.

Then the partner, like the main character, his most

immediate, you know, partner on the police force there

is descending into like drunkenness because he had a

family friend who's like one of the younger kids

who got, who gets killed on his bicycle.

And so this partner is kind of

like, you know, falling back into alcoholism.

And then he had one job, he's supposed to cancel

the school parade so we don't endanger some other children.

And he forgets to cancel the parade because

again, he's dealing with his own shit.

And then the parade sequence with the horse

wranglers trying to drive the car away. Oh, amazing.

And then like the chaperone, which is the girlfriend,

who I think I mentioned when I was talking

about what tonight's movie was, I had mentioned that

the girlfriend's gonna get killed in the movie.

That's her.

She's trying to get the kids.

And the other teacher, there's like a couple teachers.

They're both smoking hot teachers, by the way.

So if you're just watching the movie, you're

like, I don't really care about killer cars.

What else, what else does this movie offer?

Smokin hot elementary school teachers.

Anyway, they're chaperoning this kids parade.

It all goes to hell because the car spooks the horses.

The horses are running wild.

They trample one of the deputies,

the car stalking the kids.

So the chaperones try to run them

into a cemetery to try to escape.

And of course, hollowed ground.

The evil car can't get to him,

and it's just circling like a shark. I mean, they.

I have read.

I did read somewhere, or maybe you've heard.

Heard something about this movie, how they compare.

Like, oh, the car 77 is kind

of like jaws, but with a car.

And you might be confusing it with, I mean,

spillwork, besides making jaws made with the duel.

I brought up the car 77 to a friend the other day.

I was like, yeah, I just saw the car 77.

And he was talking about like, isn't it a truck?

I was like, I know you're thinking of the duel.

You're thinking of the duel, dude.

Like, I was like.

It was in the desert. Both feel like.

Like jaws with vehicles, but.

And they use the same tunnel, the mountain tunnel.

It's a famous tunnel, too.

I forgot to read about where it was.

San Bernardino county maybe, or something like that.

I don't know, somewhere in south there's this one,

like, you know, tunnel that goes through the mountains.

And they shot the duel there.

And it looks like they use the

same highway for the car 77.

So if you got the car 77 and the

dual confused with each other, I mean, that would

make sense because they use some of the same

scenery, they're chewing up the same style, and obviously

it's an evil vehicle running people over so easily.

To get those two movies mixed up.

They're shot about the same time.

Let's see. Oh.

Headlights emerge from the shadows as

the girlfriend calls the sheriff.

Yeah, this is so at one point, like

after the parade sequence, the girlfriend is still

alive at this part of the movie and.

Oh, girlfriend, fiance.

It's kind of loosely defined, but, you know, like,

the sheriff is a widower, that you figure that

out kind of like early on, and then you

can determine that, like, you know, the sheriff wants

to introduce the fiance to his two daughters or

whatever and have her move into the house.

But anyway, so the movie's really

good about establishing personal relationships.

So you actually care when the.

The characters get killed or when they get victimized

that you're kind of like on edge with them.

Anyway, so at one point she's talking to him

in her kitchen or her front room or patty,

her, like, you know, den area or whatever, she's

talking to the sheriff on the phone.

And then you see, like, the headlights, right,

emerging from the darkness outside the main window

there and obviously getting brighter and closer, and

then it just plows through the window.

Nihilates the girlfriend in a cloud of dust. She's gone.

Half the house is gone.

The car goes out the back. It's gone.

And so that's one of my favorite bits.

Then also, the sheriff later on is contemplating whether or

not the car could be possessed by evil, right?

He's hearing the superstitions of the, the

grandmothers, the other deputies, and everybody is

starting to feel the lurking evil, right?

They're starting to feel this ominous presence always

around, and they're, they're starting to believe it.

And, you know, he brushes it off.

He's super skeptical.

And then he, uh, he taps his bible, you know,

that's at his desk there at the police station.

So it's kind of an interesting detail.

He, like, taps it for reassurance.

That's my other favorite bit now, you know, when

I first picked this movie for weird September, I

thought, oh, I'm gonna be making fun of this

movie because it's a car chasing people down, and

it blasts its horn through the whole movie.

It actually starts to become unnerving and serious.

And I didn't expect it to like, like

it so much, but I actually do.

So on this show, we have a patented rating system.

We think it's the best rating

rating system out there for movies.

Like, we don't have to do worry about tomatoes.

We don't have to worry about

numbers one through ten or whatever.

Or we do this thing, binge now, you gotta

watch it now, binge later, get around to it.

But you don't have to watch it immediately.

You don't have to move it to the top of your playlist.

Binge never sounds just like it sounds. Don't watch it.

You can't get the 2 hours back.

You've wasted your life and your time.

Actually, this movie, I think, kind of surprises you.

It's gonna be a binge now, which I did not

think I was gonna arrive at with the car.

77 with James Brolin fighting.

A possessed car was running people over, knocking bicycles

off a cliff, sending deputies rolling down a cliff.

The car is, like, nearly invincible.

I don't think I would take it very seriously, but it's

actually a really fun movie, a fun ride, so to speak.

Fanservice.

What are the fans doing?

Are they chiming in?

Have we heard from them recently?

In a past episode, I had recommended watching

Wishmaster two as a form of stress relief.

Well, coup story 1776 recommends just stress eat.

Just eat.

That's the best relief.

That's what they're saying, obviously. Hey. Hey, man.

I mean, our sponsors are dieticians, I don't

know if I can support stress eating on

this episode, but to each their own, man.

You want to kill, like, a, you know,

large pizza in the middle of the night.

No one's stopping you, and no

one's judging you, you know?

And I'm sure the pizza man will appreciate you ordering

that large pizza in the middle of the night.

Actually, a lot of pizza places,

they're closing earlier and earlier.

It must be the sign of the times, huh?

Less pizza being ordered. I don't know.

Let's see here.

Although I read it, I read this weird

fact about pizza that, like, during the OJ

chase that more people had ordered.

There's like a record breaking set

for ordering the number of pizzas. I don't know.

I have a little book of facts somewhere around here.

It's like a nonsense book.

You know, it's just random facts, like, oh, Ronald

McDonald is this, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You know, one of the things it said is that it was the.

I don't know.

That the number of pizzas ordered during the famous freeway

chase is like a world record for the number of

pizzas ordered anyway, so we're not living in.

In that time of just ordering

pizzas willy nilly or hungry people.

Now everybody's thinking about pizza, right? Yeah.

You're thinking about, what are your toppings?

Can I go get that two

toppings special at the domino's, right?

You're wondering if you can get

the garlic sauce at Papa John's.

If you're in New England, you

got another papa papa Geno's.

Speaking of eating and food and beverages, Shawna.

Leslie wants. I think it's.

Her name is Leslie Leaslie. I don't know.

Shawna Leislie.

Shawna, whatever.

Wants to know what this red

drink is that I always have?

I usually make a joke about it

at the beginning of the show.

I don't think I did on this

one, where it's red, it's delicious. Not the.

Not the apple to drink.

It's usually a red cream soda mixed with

a bit of whiskey or vodka, depending on

what I got in the pantry there.

But this is. This time.

It's hard to get red cream soda

in New England for whatever reason.

And if you've been paying attention, I've said I

record somewhere in New England, but this time, it's

like one of these stores is called market basket.

They're owned by a company called the Moolahs.

The moolah's marketplace.

The moolah sounds like a New Jersey company.

But then you find out, like, oh, no.

It's like the corporate parents are in Canada.

It's a canadian grocery store.

They own this place called market basket.

They make a fruit punch soda. So that's what it is.

It looks like red cream soda.

It's basically the same kind of

red that classic red 40.

I don't know how much dye is

in here, but anyway, it's basically, yeah,

red food coloring, soda water, whatever.

Probably some flavoring that's gonna kill me. But it's.

It's a fruit punch soda, and it's.

It's pretty good.

It's not as good hawaiian punch,

but it's carbonated like a soda.

So if you can't find red cream soda,

I've been ordering it, and that's too expensive.

Once you, once you.

Once you get boxes and boxes, that

red cream soda just stacks against your.

Your day to day finances there.

So you'd stop worth maybe buying. I don't know.

I'm stalling for time because I want the running

time of this episode to break 20 minutes.

I'm giving you these really short episodes.

Want to make sure you're

getting your money's worth here.

Anyway, so the rambling, you think

it's rambling, but it's also intentional. Wow.

Behind the scenes shit. Anyway.

Yeah.

Binge now on the car 77.

It's got the original Brolin.

We've talked about the fans chiming in.

Now, staff picks. What did I watch?

I actually watched another movie

featuring James Brolin recently.

If you don't want to watch the movie the week,

killer cars are not your thing, what can I recommend?

There's a comedy called sisters.

It's got Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, John

Cena, Bobby Moynihan, Maya, Maya Rudolph, Maya

Rudolph, Ike Baron Holtz and Deanne Wiest.

I don't know if you saw this thing.

It came out in either 2015 or 2016.

We're dating the movie a little bit, but it's a not.

I mean, it's. Could it.

I mean, it has romantic comedy elements because the

two sisters have romantic entanglements in the movie.

However, it's really about one.

So it's kind of like role reversal.

There's two sisters.

The older one is a party animal, and the family

expects her not to do well and constantly make mistakes.

The younger one is kind of book studious and doesn't

really cut loose, and so they kind of switch because

the younger sister finally snaps, needs to cut loose, needs

to sow her oats and the older one gets a

moment of responsibility while dealing with her teenage daughter.

And what?

And the family, the parents and James

Brolin plays the dad, Diane Wiest plays

the mom are selling the family home.

And so the two sisters are going to have like

one last blowout with their former high school friends that

have all grown up and become parents of their lives.

And it's supposed to be like a stress free

Friday night or whatever for all the old friends

from school and they get back together anyway, sisters.

It's funny, I thought it was still funny.

I haven't watched it in a while.

I plucked out the old dvd, popped it into a

dvd player and watched it, it was pretty entertaining.

Alright, so what's going on now?

You know what, you don't have to

go home, but you can't stay here.

Next week I'm probably gonna pop in this movie called

Zone Troopers, which I saw a clip of this, I'm

enthralled by it, I want to discover it.

There's an actor named Tim Thomason who you might have

seen, he's the star of trancers and Dollman, he's like

made a whole career of weird movies, right?

I love the actor and I had hoped that

in his later Twilight years, I mean guys getting

up there, what is he like 78?

I hope he would come back with one last

movie and he was working on this thing like

a self produced movie I think called bring me

the head of Lance Hendrickson, which is a playoff.

Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia.

Alfredo Garcia.

Alfredo, is that right? No.

Bring me the head of.

Bring me the head of Fredo, right?

Bring me the head of Fredo Garcia. Dang man.

I'm flubbing up the name of a movie I like a

lot with Warren Oates where he's a hitman who has to

go to Mexico because a cartel leader or a mobsters leader,

he doesn't want this one guy, I think it's Alfredo, but

what I'm just thinking of, I'm confusing.

Anyway, there's a mexican drama and

it's made by Sam Peckinpah.

It's an action crime movie with warn Oates who plays

one of the hitmans trying to cash in on by

going to get this guy's head or whatever, because the

mobster's like, you're not marrying my daughter, whatever.

Anyway, it's a famous movie, seventies style.

Why did I bring that up?

Oh, because of bring me the head of Lance Henderson.

So it was kind of like Tim Thompson was

making a thing with his buddy Lance, Lance Hendrickson.

And it was kind of a play on that other title.

Anyway, so.

Yeah, so we're going to check out a movie

from Tim Thompson that I haven't seen, zone troopers.

That'll be next week if you come back for more.
