Angelus sorry i just had a flashback of a couple conversations we had this week i'm great nobio how are you pretty good do you want to enlighten the crowd i think i know the conversations you're talking about do you want to talk about it. I don't think it's absurd. Well, the first one was, I'm very curious, Richard, where's left and right? You are Italian and Native American. I have Native American. I'm not full Native American. I know, but that's your main that you're made up of, right? Amongst other things, yes. Amongst other things. So there was an ongoing joke that you're mixed with other backgrounds. And so we got Richard. Mainly Irish. They keep saying I'm Irish. I didn't say mainly Irish. I said you have to have some Irish. If I'm Mexican and I have Irish, you definitely have Irish. Anyways, we got Richard a test. And he got his results back over the weekend. And he. This is bullshit, dog. It ain't accurate. This is all I keep hearing all week. It's not accurate. I keep getting rants. listen we've my grandpa tracked our lineage for like a long time like we were our family was in italy grew up in italy we're italians and this stupid ancestry got it wrong the fact that my brother took a different test and got legit italian percentage we have both the same mom and dad, that tells me these tests aren't the most accurate. They just go off of their own results, like their own testing stuff. Do you want to share what your highest percentage of... Yeah, dude, it tried to say I was German. No, I mean, I got German Emmy, yes. But I'm heavily Italian. It said German, Eastern Europe, and Russia, and I was like, Richard, you sit on a throne of lies. Guys, if you could see my face... Like, I'm sure you have on Instagram and TikTok. I am Italian. I have an Italian nose, Italian ears. Anyways, I just think it's funny because you will not let it go and you're so upset about it. Dude. Oh, my God. And every time I see you, you keep bringing up your grandpa's, like, heritage, like, their book and everything. Well, when you greet me with Gutenhaus or whatever, like. That was me. I don't want to hear that shit it's all jokes man oh yeah so funny so funny, you're italian ancestry says that you're german it's all good i was born in mexico and i have so much spanish and but even europe i know and i have that too but like yours is even i would But dare I say inaccurate as well. But you know what? Time will tell. I will prove you wrong. I'm going to do several different tests. I'm going to show you how different these are all going to be. I'm so ready to see how much you're going to invest in this test. It's going to be insane. And I don't have to. I can transfer the DNA to a different company. You can do that? Yeah. Because you own it. It's your DNA. Good luck. What's up? That's why they make you sign all those click yes. that you're signing your life away when you sign up. I know, but you can transfer it over. Trust me. Well, once you find out the process, let me know. Will do. Will do. Cool, cool beans. Wow. Way to get this up to a hot start. You made me laugh. What's close to that tab? Oh, my God. She won't stop laughing at me, guys. It's okay we like you just fine you're making the mic pop dude like the look in your eye of just like thinking like what i could potentially procreate with a german like the disgust i was like dude it's not real, i am as tan as they get no it was funny because all this time all i've ever heard from you is those two and then it says that you're like three percent native. Dude fuck that dude fuck the ancestry.com it's garbage we're throwing it out you in line all this time it's inaccurate dude i don't even give a fuck their markers do not have my dna apparently okay okay if anybody has suggestions of uh which ones uh i should uh partake in please let me know yes please do see if there's a better more accurate yes so guys as you can imagine this is how my week has went um just ridicule and laughter at me but But, Angelus, how has your week been?

Anyways, let's close the business tab, huh? Close. Now, the movie we covered this week, I'm pretty excited about. You've never seen this before, right? It was my first time. And this movie, when I initially saw this, and when I saw it twice, even this time, it gives me the creeps, man. It freaks me out. I don't know why this movie does, but it does. Do you want to announce the movie? movie we did a spinny wheel and the winner the wheel with all the movies that vienna did last week remember oh yeah yeah random selection yeah random selection so the movie that was selected was the dark and the wicked now if anybody if you haven't seen that i highly recommend and we'll talk about it in depth here but thread careful tread carefully yes it's dark it is this is okay Okay, this is probably the darkest we've went so far, huh? Yeah. We were like, horror, comedy, happy laughing, and then we went, vroom. Yeah, this one kind of sucked all the air out of it. Like, it was kind of depressing, I'm not going to lie. But in that, I still had fun. There's always, in this genre, room for that. Obviously, we look for the scares, too. Your initial thoughts on this movie? Dude, this movie fucking fucks. Right? Yeah i didn't overhype it because i've been talking about it for so long that you need to watch it you've been talking about it since we met and i honestly was scared to watch it all this time because you kept bringing it up and you're like you need to watch this you need to watch this and i was like i don't want to fucking watch this by myself you told me how much it freaked you out the first time you watched it like i don't want to go through that alone i need to support buddy, That's so poor, buddy. You had Vienna. Yeah, it's not the same. We watched two back-to-backs this week. This. Oh, man, what a palate cleanser. So next week, I think we're going to, we watched it already, but we're going to cover it next week. The palate cleanser was Hell House LLC. That was another one that was fucking freaky. I know. You were like, oh, you had Vienna. I had you on one side and Vienna on another side. and every time there was something scary, you guys were shoving me and pushing me and grabbing me. I was being pulled to pieces. We're very dramatic people when we watch movies and especially if it affects us. Richard was shoving me in front of the TV. I was like, no, no, no. Oh, man. I get very animated. I start screaming and stuff. I can't control it. I talk. I'm like, no. Reminds me of Malibu's Most Wanted. So you guys take a little bit of the scare away from me that when you guys are doing that, because I'm trying to like go through the scary phases and then I'm being pulled and being pushed and hiding behind me. Yeah, no. So you really like the movie? Yeah, it was really good. Nice. We'll see if your opinion changes as we dive deep into this. So, yeah, no, the dark and the wicked. kid if you haven't seen it that's definitely a high priority to see it shutter yeah oh yeah it's a shutter original too which is awesome i'm starting to like shutter more and more i've always liked it but man they are up in their game we showed i i'm stoked you showed maria your mom when evil oh yeah i thought she would be more more freaked out she was gross thought I thought you heard her get up at one point. She's like, oh, cabrón. She had to run out. She's like, what did I miss? Which we got to cover that movie. I think that might be our next foreign one. No, you know what? Our next foreign film, the one you keep wanting to do, it's an older one. Which one? With the rocker, the metal guy. Oh, my gosh. Yes. What's it called? El Dia de la Bestia, The Day of the Beast. It's a Spanish movie. It's like a horror comedy. It's good. We got to get that on the calendar. We'll figure that out. But anyways, back to The Dark and the Wicked. kid this movie had a budget of approximately four million dollars but the thing about this movie and it's kind of unfortunate because i don't think it got its roses and i think it's very underrated and overlooked this came out in the thick of it 2020 this came out in and the pandemic totally fucked this up it was scheduled to release in april of 2020 originally when shit was going down as everything was closing yeah and then it got pushed back to november november and then we're in the total closed down theaters it didn't do it justice because it ended up grossing roughly 836 000 in the box office but the film did gain more attention and viewership through streaming services which really took off during the pandemic especially the video on demand platforms after a theatrical release and that helped contribute to its overall revenue you i did see there was a i found four like internationally countries where i had the biggest hit to the first one being mexico followed by russia netherlands and south korea, wait repeat that sorry i was reading my notes oh my lord outside of the u.s the top four countries where it had like a big hit and made kind of a good chunk of money was mexico russia, Netherlands, and South Korea. So I suspect in Mexico because it has that. Possession. Yes, it has that kind of demon stuff. And you guys love that shit. It freaks you out. I like that. That's cool. So, but the highest grossing movie of 2020 was, I don't think I've ever heard of this, The 800. Have you? The 800? Yeah, it's a Chinese war film directed by Wan Hu. Despite the global impact of the pandemic on the film industry as a whole, the 800 movie managed to gross approximately $461 million worldwide. Dang. This film was particularly successful in China, where it became a major box office hit. Have you heard of this? No, I was going through the list, and a lot of these movies, I only know because of streaming services. Not because of theater and again it's because if I can came out they came out during COVID yeah so and I so I caught a lot of movies during the you know everybody did shit wasn't going down. And there were some good ones that came out. Do you have a list of horror movies that came out? Yeah, so I found a lot of these. A few of them I haven't heard of before. And I added some to our list. Another top one that I saw is called His House. It's about a couple who's a refugee and they escape a war zone in South Sudan. And they move to this English town when there's something evil lurking beneath the surface. Surfaced the host also came out during 2020 at quiet place too how do you feel about the quiet place movies i i'm i'm gonna admit it i'm not a big fan no freaking way oh you don't like it no i had heard you before talk about the quiet place oh do you like it i i'll watch them i'm not saying they're terrible i just i don't like it there's some effect parts anyways continue sorry to cut you off i like them i think they uh i don't know it's just something to watch the other one that came out was the platform which i had you watch remember i like that one yeah that one's pretty good set in a futuristic world there's like prisoners and vertical cells i i wouldn't say i wouldn't go down i think it's horror jason i think that's more of a psychological like thriller, it's a vertical cell oh my god. It fucks with you okay if you like movies that fuck with you and you're just trying to figure out what's going on give this I feel like this movie for me you know that I love psychological thrillers I have watched this a few times and I love it every time, highly recommend it and I feel like not a lot of people talk about it like people that enjoy this type of movies so I didn't know this movie existed until you showed it to me Yeah. So it has a really messed up thing, like the theme of it being, there's a lot of things that go in there. There's like political, social status, all these things. There's vertical cells. And it's in levels. And essentially, you're seeing everyday inmates above you eat as the inmates that are at the bottom of this vertical cell starve to death. The Invisible Man. How'd you like that one? I like it. I enjoyed it. It was pretty good. With Elizabeth Moss from The Handmaid's Tale, and then Oliver Duxon Cohen from Mad Men, and then he was also in Hunting of Hill House, Hunting of Bly Manor, The Possessor. I don't think that I've watched this, have you? I've never seen it. The Possessor at all looks interesting, though, because Cronenberg made it. Brandon Cronenberg, I think that's his son who made that movie. Underwater also came out. I actually really like this movie. I don't think I've ever seen it. It's another like... It's like a thriller underwater. It's Kristen Stewart, Jessica Henwick. Oh, that's why I didn't watch it. They go on a drilling station that's at the bottom of the ocean. Yeah. And stuff happens. One of the wall starts breaking down, and they have to walk across the seabed. Taylor Lautner just bursts out. Oh

We're covering Poltergeist 3, baby! 1988. Mm-hmm. PG-13. You talk so much about horror movies being PG-13. Hey, this one pulls it off, though. One of the few. It's a rarity, but this one pulls it off. And you picked this one. I did. You know why I picked this one? What? because as a kid growing up i guess i was privileged i had cable tv this is what we're going to bring up every day to angela's i was very cordy angela's i was very privileged you were we had cable tv and if anybody's aware of cable tv there's a network called wgn it's a chicago network but they always played it they played bulls games whatever all things chicago right Well, they also played movies, but they're always Chicago-themed movies. And guess what? Poltergeist 3 takes place in Chicago. And they played the living hell out of this movie. And I would catch this movie all the freaking time. Not that I even enjoyed it back in the day, but it was just on. And I think I watched it so much I got brainwashed to saying this movie's good. I enjoy this movie. It is forever in my zeitgeist. That it's good? Yeah. And plus, you can't go wrong with Tom Skerritt's mustache, dude. Come on. His caterpillar mustache? Yeah. How'd you feel about that? It's very caterpillar-y. I want one. It's very 80s. I want one. He still has it. Dude, Tom Skerritt, 90 years old. He deserves his flowers. He is an amazing guy. 90 years old. Oh, yeah. This is what, after this conversation that we had in my car about your WGN network. Yeah. This is what I went home and pondered on my thoughts. And I was like, I'm going to write a list for Richard. Because you had the nerve to call me uncultured in the car. Whoa, putting me on fucking blast? Yeah. Dude, I called you uncultured. You did. We were talking about horror movies. And you brought up your TV network, this gadget mustache dude. And how the hell. Stop it. Put respect on his name, goddammit, Tom Skerritt. And how the hell do you not know who Tom Skerritt is? I was like, let me remind you, I was born in 1989. Same as I. I didn't move. I lived in Mexico and grew up in Mexico until I was 11, so until 2000. And then when we moved here, I had some of my mom's cousins and other kids around my age. They introduced me to a lot of the culture and what was popular at the time. This was back in 2000. And Tom Skerritt should have been definitely in that rotation. Oh, 11, 13, 14-year-old kids. They weren't sitting there binging horror movies and Tom Skerritt and his alien. Hey, shout out. At least you know that. Fuck, dude. And so I was getting slowly introduced to the Lizzie McGuire show. That's so Raven. Fucking their brothers making fun of the girls for liking. I know. You're getting acquainted. You're getting acquainted to America. Call me on culture because I wasn't familiar with this. Yet uncultured with horror with horror and just things so i was like let me remind i wrote a list of things i was watching while you were watching your wg i remember i remember the comment you're 34 years old and you you say you love horror which isn't bad i'm not judging you but you like maybe i'm judging a little bit because we just had a conversation i'm like hey a little quiz as we were testing our mics. I'm like, where's Michael Myers from? And she's like, Crystal Lake. I'm like, Jesus effing Christ. Oh, so any listeners, please let us know where Michael Myers is from. I was watching horror. That's what I was getting to. But it was a different horror. It was Mexican and Latin American horror. So not your horror. So I went down because you called me on culture. I have to bring up some names of some freaking majestic Mexican and Latin American actresses and actors and some of the work that they were doing in the horror. And so that I can call you uncultured Mexican horror. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Majestic? What do you mean by majestic? Like, they're just majestic creatures, beautiful beings. They're just like how you hold to your standards, Tim Skerritt. These people are for me. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Tim Skerritt or Tom Skerritt? Tom. And I'm not saying the dude is the best actor since Slice Bread. You were drooling during the movie and you were like, mm, that mustache. It just reminds me of the 80s so much and my dad throughout the whole you met my dad right yeah yeah well he has like a goatee slash beard now but back in the 80s 90s that motherfucker was rocking a full-on we're italian mario mustache and that's what always reminds me tom scare it's mustache reminds me of my dad's mustache it's hilarious and it is majestic so And it is majestic. Anyways, continue with your Mexican cinematography. Mexican cinematography. To see if any of these names come to mind, Richard. And if not, why the hell don't you know these names? Oh my God, I will do my best. The first one, Roberto Mario Gomez Bolaños, most commonly known as Chespirito. Oh yeah, dude, he was in Saved by the Bell. Sure. He was an icon. He had a lot of, he didn't do horror, by the way. Tricked you. He did a lot of comedy stuff. Yeah, he did Saved by the Bell. No, he did a lot of comedy stuff. Chavo del Ocho, Chapulín Colorado. So for any listeners, Spanish speaking, they grew up watching any of this, don't know who I'm talking about. We have Maria Elena Velasco, also known as La India Maria. She did a lot of comedy. And she also had tapped a little bit into doing like comedy and horror. Yes, yes, this is all sounding familiar. Oh, yeah, totally. I was hoping so. And then we have Viruta y Capulina, this pair of actors who would do a lot of comedy together. And then they would also do little spoofs, scary movies. And the most, I feel like, popular actor as far as horror is El Santo, the wrestler. So he, I need to have you watch some of his movies because that's what I was watching a lot on TV. Was en santo en santo against the vampire woman so the mummies zombies invasion of aliens dead of world of the dead and then against witches so every movie he was fighting a different monster oh man so he covered everything so these movies in mexico did they have like big like in the the states theatrical like releases i don't remember like how does movies were from the 70s and 80s how so when you're growing up in mexico how did that work did you guys have big cinema like trailers on tv like coming out on whatever this is coming come see us in the theaters like did you have that you don't remember any of it probably okay i just was curious on tv i did not go to the movie theaters i know but like you don't ever remember seeing like trailers on commercials in between your novellas no they that's just what was playing. Weekends weekends i feel like popular tv networks it was most all movies no no commercials yes commercials but that's what i'm saying like your regular tv shows so most of it it was movies and then like you would have this recurring like domingo and gigante and sabado gigante every saturday, And then there was another one that would come out on Sundays. So I understand that part, the shows playing on TV. But in between the shows, the commercial breaks. You never had like trailers or anything? They never did that? It was commercials for companies and selling things. Oh, okay. I get you. Maybe for soap operas was a big one for commercials. Real quick, what was your favorite soap opera going on? Talia. No, Marimar. Nice. What was your mom's? I don't know. I did a name. I had a dog. I had a white lab. I named her after Marimar's dog, Solavino. Wait, what was the name? The dog's name? Yeah. Solavino. Solamino? Solavino. Solavino. Yeah, from Marimar. Well, shout out. I'm sure some of our listeners love that. Also, whenever in Spokane, guys, Elsa Zone. Oh, my God. Hey, man. Good food. Good place to be. good hangout um so anyways richard i was not uncultured i was just watching different stuff from you thank you we can go back to poltergeist three okay cool cool great we come from two different worlds but we our paths lined up now and uh thank you for that i love you so much for Oh, you're very welcome. Thank you. You've made me more cultured. Okay. Hmm. Okay. So 1988, but we're going to have a different format this time around. Instead of covering all the movies that kind of came out in this year, the biggest one, we're going to change it up. So we're not going to cover them all. But the biggest one that came out, the highest grossing movie was the Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman movie, Rain Man. Have you ever seen that? I don't know. No. Oh, dang. I'm just going to say no because I don't remember. I remember the name. Yeah, Rain Man. We'll have to watch it. So yeah, that's the top girl. Well, she's not in her head. She hates Tom Cruise, guys. No, I don't. Damn. So yeah, we might have to cover that. Hey, you're trying to push Titanic on me every weekend. I do not. You keep trying to bring up Titanic. Oh my gosh. gosh but notable horror movies or at least our note to me in 1988 that come out and some of these we're actually going to cover here in the next several weeks is we have a nightmare on elm street 4 the dream master we have child's play making its debut hellbound hellraiser 2 the blob which we're going to cover either it's not next week but probably the week after or maybe the The week after? Or the week after that. It's coming, guys. But it's not the original blob. It's the one with Matt Dillon's brother in it. Kevin Dillon? Yeah, Kevin Dillon, Entourage. Not bad movie. It was covered. It was made in 1988. It's the remade version, which is pretty good. And then we have Maniac Cop, which is awesome. It has our boy Bruce Campbell in it. Phantasm 2, which is pretty freaking awesome. They had a huge budget for that. And I think did a pretty good job. Wes Craven or no, was this Wes Craven, the serpent in the rainbow? It was either Wes Craven or John Carpenter. I think it was Wes. Then we have Pumpkinhead making its debut. Have you ever seen Pumpkinhead? No. Fuck, we got to cover that. I'm starting to figure out late 80s. Mid to late 80s was my childhood horror. Like, we watched the shit out of Pumpkinhead. I fucking love that movie. Killer Clowns of Outer Space, you've seen that. Bits and pieces, not the entire thing. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I know a lot of people are. It has a cult following, but it has some entertaining pieces to it for sure. And then last one i'm not terribly familiar with dead ringers does that ring a bell to you no no yeah so those were the horror movies that i i found that came out in 1988 along with poltergeist three which poltergeist three was i was wondering why the hell did they make a poltergeist three it's purely a money grab and it kind of was but they didn't really make too much money off it It was primarily made due to the success of the first two films in the series. The original Poltergeist in 1982 was significant box office success and received critical acclaim because the director was Toby Hooper, the guy who created Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But it also had Amblin Films and... Gosh, the director, the Jurassic Park director. God damn it. His name. We watched this. Ready player one. He's classic. Steven Spielberg. Fuck. I'm sorry, guys
