Episode: 357 • Duration: 01:05:57
It’s Difficult Films month, and this time we’re going in a different direction! Instead of films that are tough to stomach, we’re tackling the worst of the worst – films that are so bad, they’re difficult to get through. First up is Ed Wood’s classic so bad Hollywood alien weird-fest Plan 9 from Outer Space! We talk the terrible sets, poor Bela Lugosi, the strange plot progression, and a whole lot more on this episode!
We’re also drinking the Thin Man x Other Half Brewing collaboration Risotto Moon Rover, a hazy pale ale!

I saw a flying saucer.
Saucer.
You mean the kind from up there?
Yeah.
It’s counterpart.
It was shaped like a huge cigar, Dan, and either saw it too.
When it passed over, the whole compartment lighted up with a blinding glare.

Hello everyone, welcome back to the Blood and Black Rum Podcast.
I’m Ryan from closeplotation.com and I’m joined with my Co host Mark.
How’s it going?
Well, we’re getting into some difficult times.
Say that it’s May or will be may after we’ve done recording this.
1:17
And in May, we generally tackle what we like to call difficult films.
And difficult films in the past has meant tough films to stomach, right?
The films that people have, you know, throughout cinematic history, noted as either disgusting or outrageous or, you know, taboo.
1:43
Yeah.
Taboo or not.
And we haven’t done taboo.
Yeah, but we.
We’ll have to at some point.
That’s a difficult film, but.
Isn’t there like 12 films we’ll have?
Yeah.
There’s probably there’s many, many of them, but the difficult films in in the in the past has we’ve done this twice now, I think, right.
2:04
It’s 222 seasons of it.
It’s meant most of the time difficult like tough films to watch for whatever reason, like subject matter or you know, things like drug abuse.
We’ve done, we did funny Games, you know, which is kind of like just all around, you know, an awkward movie on purpose, you know, stuff like that.
2:24
We did A Serbian Film, so we’ve done some pretty difficult, what what people consider really difficult films.
And generally those those films, when we cover them, we kind of task ourselves with saying, OK, well, now that we’ve seen this movie, do you really consider it a difficult film or like, you know, ’cause that can be subjective.
2:43
So we’re not always saying we find them difficult films, but throughout history people have labeled them as such.
Do something a little bit different this time.
You’ve probably seen the title of of this episode already and you’re probably thinking what’s what, what what is that?
2:58
I don’t understand why this movie would be labeled a difficult film.
We’re doing a little change up on the verbiage of difficult.
We’re changing the definition this time instead of difficult, meaning tough to stomach or tough to watch, these are difficult because they are hard to watch because they’re bad.
3:18
They’re they’re bad movies.
They’ve they’re big, considered the the worst of the worst, the, you know, ones that people have just panned for for or throughout cinematic history.
And so for a variety of reasons, doesn’t always, you know, it’s not going to be the same type of bad movie, but we kind of want to do something a little bit different this time and, and change it up.
3:40
You know, we like to be spontaneous and erratic around here.
So, so and I know well, you know.
That’s what actually is our tagline for the podcast.
Aneus and erratic that’s yeah, I know we had toyed with do you you know doing some actual difficult like tough to watch films but yeah, I think this is going to be a fun one.
3:59
It’s not going to be I should say it’ll be fun to listen to It’s not going to be fun for us We’re we’re not going to have a lot of fun watching these movies.
I I can I can assure you and and we’re already in for a treat with this first one, which was I will say difficult to watch.
4:15
It was definitely a chore.
We can call them chores.
I guess that’s that’s the other.
Films as chores.
Yeah, the synonym for difficult here.
You like to?
Think of them as a hobby, something that you enjoy.
Now these are you’re Choring films.
4:33
I would agree.
This is like this.
That’s exactly how I feel.
Just thinking about the, you know, the movies that we’ve talked about for the future and just thinking about having to sit down and actually watch them, it definitely feels more like a chore.
It reminds me of like that that one podcast that would only watch that one Adam Sandler movie like literally every week.
4:56
And they would.
They would have.
They would.
Watch it like Jack and Jill.
Yeah, yeah, Something like, yeah, maybe it was Jack and Jill.
They would only watch that movie that like every literally every time they’d watch that movie and then have to do another episode about it.
We could literally do difficult films a month next time, but it’s just the back back catalog of Adam Sandler films.
5:17
Yeah, Yeah, that’s true.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, I think like, again, these ones are really chores.
And to start off, we wanted to we, we, we picked 1.
I think that is one of the movies that people really think of when they think of a, an actual bad movie historically.
5:37
And you know, we’ve already done a couple of movies that people consider bad movies, but they’re actually good.
Like Troll 2, you know, we, we did that one in the past, but that’s a little bit different because that movie people, you know, I people recognize that it it’s not a good movie, but it is fun to watch because it’s so over the top and ridiculous.
5:57
I would argue that these movies that we’re going to be covering for difficult films this time are not even, they’re not even like good films in the sense that they’re fun to watch.
They’re they’re neither fun nor good.
They’re just overall bad.
And I think the one that we’ve picked for the first episode is really historically one that’s been considered one of the worst films made for.
6:19
And and I don’t know if I agree with that or not, but and we’ll maybe we’ll talk about that as we get into it.
But we’re talking about Ed Woods, Plan 9 from outer space.
Now, Ed Wood has had a lot of bad movies.
You know, there was a lot to choose from in his filmography.
6:38
But have you ever seen Plan 9 from outer space, where you know you know you’ve known about it, I assume?
Yeah, no, I’ve never seen it.
I’ve never seen that would film.
I just like I know about the film because back in like as I was telling you when you suggested it, it was like a film that was pretty big.
7:00
John the early YouTube that guy with the glass is angry Video game Nerd, like angry nostalgia people, you know, bitching and moaning, but having fun with it.
So like a lot of the film I had practically already seen just by like, you know, the amount of like reviews that were back out in like 2010.
7:23
So like it’s it’s and again, like I I I know like it’s a film that’s revered for being like awful and I know the same thing about Edward’s work and like the never seen it because I’m not a big Tim Burton fan, but the Tim Burton Edward film, I haven’t seen that, but I heard that’s, you know, pretty good.
7:47
It’s just like something that’s just been blind spot my filmography, because I don’t, as we talked about, like when we did troll two years and years ago, I don’t like try to go out of my way to like, you know, watch a film that’s like bad for the sake of bad on my own.
8:04
Sure, if I like, you know, have somebody that like you’re sitting down, you watch and can enjoy like, you know, it ends up being bad and you enjoy it and it’s Vadnais as an experience and sure, but like on my own, do it.
No, I’m, I got, you know, I got.
A bunch of things that you’d rather do.
8:21
Yeah, you.
Know.
So some people do do this, this.
I mean, they do sit down by themselves and just like, yeah, I think I’m going to check out this, you know, really bad move.
No, I know.
And that good, you know, that’s a hobby.
I can appreciate it, you know, But for me, like, it just comes like I’m like it Just like if I were to sit and watch this film by myself without having to do it for the show today, I would probably be laughing less because I would be just like, this is on my own time.
8:55
You know what?
I.
Mean you’re not getting paid for it regardless.
So it’s what do you mean I’m not getting paid?
Yeah, sorry to tell you.
Salary’s been cut.
There’s no no payment this time you got paid in beer.
I guess so.
So this time any.
9:11
Compliments.
Yeah, like so like I’m glad to kind of pop the cherry though on this to finally get to experience.
Yeah, you can say you’ve seen it.
Yeah, yeah.
I I don’t think I’ve ever seen play 9 from outer space.
9:28
I I originally thought I had and then once I got into it I was like no no I have not seen this one and I’m thinking of.
I think I saw the day the Earth stood stuff.
No, no, actually, what I was confused about was Tor Johnson’s character.
9:43
You know, Tor Johnson is the inspector and he’s going to be the big guy, the giant guy.
And I’ve seen him in another movie.
It was not an Ed Wood movie, but it was the Beast of Yucca Flats, which is also a phenomenally bad movie.
Maybe, I don’t know, maybe worse than this one.
9:58
I that I remember that one’s only like less than an hour, but it was it left an indelible impression on me that it was very bad.
And so I do remember watching that one and I think I thought that that originally was planned from outer space at one at one point, but it was not.
10:14
I was getting them confused.
So I I’ve never seen this one and I don’t think I’ve ever seen in an actual Ed Wood movie at all, because the beast of Yucca flats was directed by a different bad director, one not as well known as Ed Wood.
So I will also say that there’s been a lot of, you know, film commentary and historical writing on Ed Wood and in True Blood and Bicron podcast fashion, and it’s sticking with the idea of difficult films.
10:50
We didn’t do any research on it.
Like I have no background into Ed Wood whatsoever.
I don’t really, you know what, I didn’t look anything up about him as a director or anything else.
So we’re going into this without like having done research on that.
So just keep that in mind if there’s something that we bring up and it’s, you know, well known in Ed Wood asphere, you know, because there are people that really do follow Ed Wood’s movies, you know, maybe ironically, but we we haven’t done any research into Ed Wood specifically.
11:19
So, and like Martin said, I haven’t seen the Tim Burton movie.
I, you know, I don’t don’t have any real background on the man himself.
So.
I just know whoever plays, I’m drawing a blind when I look it up.
I just know whoever plays Bela Lugosi.
I’m looking it up now from watching clips.
11:37
Martin Landau is just like yelling like motherfucker like the entire time with a wonderful put on like Hungarian.
Yeah, Martin Landau is Bela.
You can see that.
You can see that for sure.
11:53
That’s that’s pretty funny, actually.
So, all right, anything else you wanted to add in the intro before we get to the beer talk?
No.
All right, all right, let’s move on.
I’m.
On the show today, we’ve got I tried to tie in a little bit to the subject matter.
12:14
You know, Plan 9 from outer space.
We’ve got aliens.
So I grabbed a beer that was called risotto moon Rover.
And I, I do just want to point out real quick that when people make like videos online and they’re joking about the like IPA drinkers, this type of beer name is exactly what they’re talking about.
12:36
When, you know, they, they make fun of all the ridiculous beer names because, and specifically other half brewing companies beer names because they’re all just absolutely ridiculous.
And it’s stuff like this or like, you know, spaghetti factory and you know, stuff like that is just over the top ridiculous.
12:55
And there, you know, risotto moon Rover is, is exactly that type of beer name that they’re parodying.
But this one is a collaboration between Thin Man Brewing, which we’ve had on the show before, and Other Half Brewing, which we’ve also had on the show before.
13:11
And both of those beer Brewers are fairly close to us, not like super close, but they’re, you know, within a reasonable distance away in New York State and.
Generally make.
I can’t believe you’re saying that thin man is in reasonable distance. 4 hour drive to.
13:31
Bustru it’s it’s within range I guess.
Sounds like you haven’t taken a family vacation out that way in a long time if you’re sitting here saying it’s reasonable.
Well, remember, I drove by it.
I drove by it that one time when we were going to Indiana, but I didn’t actually get stopped there.
13:49
So I was like, that’s probably going to be my only time.
I’m probably down here.
But unfortunately it was not even close really in the skin of things.
You’re not.
You’re not going to the new stadium.
I don’t have the kind of money.
We don’t make that kind of money on the podcast.
We get we should see if we can get sponsored sponsorship from.
14:10
Hey Blood and Black Crumb Podcast has made a lot of fun about this new stadium.
We’ll invite him over here.
Man, all of a sudden I really like Highmark insurance guys.
Have you guys tried Highmark New sponsors?
14:28
Yeah, yeah, that’s right.
But yeah, Thin Man Brewing and Other Half, we’ve had them both on really fun Brewers and this time they’ve collabed for this hazy pale ale.
So I’ll let you go first.
14:43
What do you think about the risotto Moon Rover?
Well, I’ll give them credit for not doing a night bump a pale ale.
It’s a lot.
It’s like a forgotten art and anytime we like the one time every two years we have a pale ale on the on the show and it’s like, oh, that’s out in the wild, beautiful.
15:05
It’s not bad.
I’m not personally a big thin man fan.
I’m trying to find their beers to be just OK.
Like we’ve had like the pills mafia and the Minky poodle on.
So for me it’s just kind of when you drink it, it’s not like super like hazy.
15:29
You don’t get like a lot of, you know, juicy notes to it.
It’s very mild pale ale aspect.
You get like a, you know, the brightness of the ball, but nothing like big.
It’s, you know, got a nice finish and all, but it’s got like a little tiny taste to it.
15:48
It’s not bad.
I just, you know, it’s 4 1/2% hazy pale ale.
I just kind of think for who and for what, you know, I feel like they’re make trying to make a slight like a session of it.
16:04
But if you’re going to do that, just do that instead of compromising on the pale ale itself.
So yeah, I’m, I’m disappointed.
It’s not bad, but I mean like this was a four pack of 16 ounces, so that was like 16 bucks.
16:22
So in this economy, you got a real hard time justifying that so.
That’s that was my exact words when I saw the first guy, John, in this economy.
Kidding me.
That’s right.
16:40
Yeah.
I think it’s it’s it’s pretty good.
Like it’s, yeah, it’s pretty bog standard of like a, you know, slightly more yeasty and maybe a little bit more hoppy pale air style.
I think it’s that’s good.
16:56
It’s on a lighter side for, for alcohol content.
It’s like 4 1/2 percent.
You know, I, so I think, I think that for the most part that like Martin said, this is a beer that’s kind of it.
It doesn’t have a huge population of people that would be like really excited about it.
17:16
You know, most of the people drinking these types of beers are not, are going to look at the 4 1/2% and be like, that seems like a little low for, for what I’m looking for.
And then all at the same time with the, the hazy pale style, there’s inevitably going to be people who are like, no, this tastes a little bit light on flavor, right?
17:34
Because it’s, it kind of is reminiscent of what you would get from a hazy IPA, but at the same time, you know, obviously has a lot of that toned down a bit.
So I think it’s pretty good.
It’s very drinkable.
I think it’s very sessionable though, like you can drink a couple of these and it’s, you know, it’s, it’s not going to bother you.
17:52
You know, it’s night light enough that, you know, it’s very easy to drink.
So I think that it kind of serves that purpose, but it’s not like something that I would be strongly recommending.
But I think it’s a pretty good style for them.
18:08
They’ve done a fairly good job with it.
So I like it.
But again, like I said, I wouldn’t tell anybody to go out of their way and grab it.
Just finish that up there all.
Right.
All right, so let’s get into Plan 9 from outer space, or as you like to refer to it instead of plan 9.
18:30
What was your what was your plan for?
Oh, Plan B?
Yeah, Plan B it.
Should have been It should have been boredom.
It’s true.
So this this movie is a really interesting movie to like just sit down and look at because the.
18:46
Original name for this Grave robbers from outer space.
Not as catchy, but I mean, it makes a hell of a lot more sense, Yeah, I think.
I think you’re right, right, like so grave robbers from outer space.
I don’t know if it’s not that catchy either, because it definitely has like sort of a a ring to it where you’re like, oh, that sounds cool, right?
19:08
Like plan 9 from outer space sounds very especially for 1956 sounds very, very generically sci-fi.
And maybe that’s what they were going for, right.
They were.
They wanted this very generic sounding science fiction title to maybe get some more people who would be interested in that type of thing to see it.
19:28
But at the same time it’s very bland.
The plan nine element to it is really not even expounded upon much in the movie.
So it it’s sort of like a waste because they, I think they only mention it like one, one time, right?
Like this explicitly, yeah.
What are you doing?
19:44
Oh, you’re.
Doing Plan 9, Yeah, it’s a.
It’s a throw away, yeah.
Like, and at that at that time, like the audience is like, OK, whatever, but this movie is really is an interesting movie because it is sort of like what you think of now as like a.
20:04
Classic Hollywood type movie.
Like, it’s it when you see the sets and you see.
Well, for the lack thereof, I should say.
Say you didn’t you didn’t say that right Yeah, talk about but when you see the.
Sound stage when?
20:20
You when you see the set, not when you see the sets, you know, Yeah.
You see the sound stage and you see the exterior shots of Hollywood, You can very much tell that this is just a Hollywood shot movie and they shot it on like 1 soundstage.
20:38
And it’s hilarious because a lot of the footage is it’s clear like was all shot at once.
So there’s a lot of scenes of like them being outside of the graveyard that are dispersed throughout the movie.
But when you watch it, they’re all the exact same shots.
20:56
And it’s like they just took this one one time they were shooting in the in this area, this set, and they just chopped it up and then edit it together later on.
And just going to say.
The belt, the Bela Lugosi shots are like, like, from like a year or two old, like he was already dead when this film came out.
21:15
So yeah.
And this.
And he probably died because of this movie, because unfortunately, he probably died of embarrassment because everybody knows that Bella goes towards the end of his life.
He was very he he he he was upset with the arc of his career.
You know, he was kind of became more of a joke at that point, you know, and and so to have this be one of his final movies where he is kind of the butt of the joke, where they’re basically, you know, Edward is basically saying, hey, Bella, just pretend you’re Dracula again, you know, because that’s what he does.
21:45
He wears a fucking black Cape.
He basically looks like Dracula and his wife is Vampira.
He couldn’t be.
Anymore on the nose if they try.
Like, I mean, I’m sure they tried, but it’s really a dumb idea because it is almost a mockery at this point of like Bella Lugosi.
22:03
It, it feels bad if it feels like you know you, you feel bad for him, you feel embarrassed for him because it just is.
He’s an old man in this movie.
He like almost looks like he really doesn’t know what he’s even doing here.
Just just imagine.
That like, you’re 7, like 60 years old and like all they want you to do is just like swunk around in The Cave and go like hold your arm up like, you know, exactly, you know, I, I could see how that wouldn’t be fun, you know, no.
22:34
I no, I just.
Like like imagine like like if you like with Boris Karloff, if they’re just like constantly, like all right, Karloff, dude, walk.
What?
I mean, the same thing happened to him too, but I mean like it.
I mean, it didn’t help either.
That was Universal at the time was those, you know, the Universal horror films, they pumped out fucking sequels left and right after, you know, the success of like all those guys like LON Chaney, you know, Bella, you know, Karloff, they all got like, you know.
23:04
The Careers.
Like just driven into the ground because it’s like you’re going to be this guy for the 500th time.
Exactly.
And I do think that that is, you know, for this movie, it it really seems outlandish too, because it adds really nothing to the movie.
And not only that, it doesn’t even make a whole lot of sense because the the film opens up with like vampire, the, you know, her character who is effectively just vampire, right?
23:28
Like they don’t even try again.
It’s they get vampire, she’s dressed like vampire.
And so she effectively is vampire in this movie.
And so she’s dead.
Bela Lugosi is attending her funeral and then immediately after dies, gets hit by a car or something in like, an off screenshot of him wandering around like a dementia patient, you know, into the road and gets hit by a car.
23:53
And then like, it’s what, like one day later, he’s buried right next to her and then comes back to life.
It makes no sense.
It makes no what?
What graveyard works this fast?
How, how?
How can they possibly have done everything they needed to do, you know, dig?
24:10
The hoodie and ball dig the hole, get the get the casket, get the corner.
You know, it’s like the.
Fastest that if you have a dead person you want this this undertaker in cemetery because they are the fastest.
It’s expressed in the West Express Hollywood cemetery.
24:28
Yes, exactly.
Get them buried.
Get them done and buried.
And the fucking tombstones.
Because this the it’s fucking sad.
It’s just this like 20 by 20, like little plot of land that they constantly, you know, just tread over the tombstones.
24:45
Don’t they didn’t even take the time to put fucking names or anything on them.
They’re just he’s like, you know, unmarked graves.
And it’s like, oh, you know, like, oh, this is that, This is that.
And it’s just so fucking gaudy and awful and terrible.
25:02
And I have a very hard time like thinking with this film was made with $60,000.
Where did the money go?
Yeah, I.
Have no idea.
Yeah, I probably getting the stock footage of the army that they have, like.
25:19
Pentagon was charged.
Pentagon was charged out the ass.
You can get the stock footage of us firing rockets.
It’d be like having to.
Pay the NFL for like stock footage of a, you know, Super Bowl game or something.
That’s, that’s where it went.
Yeah.
The, the sets are horrendous.
25:36
And I think that that’s really one of the the ways that this feels like a very cheap movie because the, the especially the first part of the movie feels like haphazardly edited, like it just seems like scenes are stuffed together and just like there’s no sense of time passing or anything.
25:55
It’s just like event.
Happens.
Boom.
The fucking opening on the plane.
Yeah, could.
Be like an SNL scale like it looks like they’re sitting at a.
Desk or something called flight.
Between it’s supposed to be like pilot control.
26:13
It’s just a cardboard cut out like in front of them and like they’re just like it’s got like a tarp, not like an actual cloth, like a tarp in between like to separate the pilots and, you know, the passengers.
26:31
It’s just so fucking stupid.
And they eat like the whole like, oh, the saucers being on a string and being able to see it.
That’s not even like that bad, like, you know, or whatever.
But the fact that it’s like a stand, it’s a bong standard, like, like, you know, UFO, right?
26:47
Fucking pilots.
Like I looked like a big cigar.
That’s what I was going to say too.
It’s like, what do you know?
No one like the pilot needs glasses.
Everybody please alert the rest of the cabin.
The pilot cannot see.
27:03
He’s fucking saying there’s a a flying cigar in this.
Lots of big.
Flights garlic What’s cigars?
No wonder no one took it seriously, because they.
Then everybody else saw the flying saucers like what the fuck were you talking about?
You, you didn’t see what I saw there?
27:19
Listen, Pilot.
It’s a saucer, right?
Yeah.
So how the fuck is it a cigar?
All right, you caught the same thing because that made absolutely no.
So I I I was thinking the same thing when I heard it.
27:35
I was like, all right, you said cigar.
And then you see, like, classic UFO shots.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
No, no, that just like I, I don’t like I had to pause the movie for like 5 minutes like like it’s just like for my brain to register.
27:52
Like it’s almost like they wrote the script and had no idea like what they were actually going to do for the UFO.
So they have like later just had the, you know, they built the UFO and they went with a really generic UFO looking flying saucer.
Yeah, it’s I do.
28:09
I I do.
Love Eddie the stewardess constantly popping in and out, in and out, like for no reason, like just to be like, oh, you guys want some coffee?
Coffee there boys.
Anything going on?
Well, I say, Miss Eddie, I won’t take you to Albuquerque and fuck you.
28:25
We’re going to be there at 4:00, but it’s an 8:00 AM town.
I’ll have no fun.
Yeah, that was that was.
Funny, he was pretty forward about that.
You know, basically just like I’m going to go ball you.
I’m assuming that 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM talk is about like a blue law there.
28:44
Like, you know what?
Like.
I think so.
She’s.
Keeping them on task because she was like, we have all these sluts we still have to do, you know, I do think it’s they’re.
Like, oh, you men.
Don’t know.
What the hell are you doing?
You know, I do think it’s funny too.
28:59
Like later on, this is after the first scene where they see the UFO, but when he’s on his another flight and he’s thinking about his wife who’s left back home and he’s just worried about her and he’s just kind of staring off into space.
The guy’s like, you better get your head in the game.
We got a lot of we got 30 passengers back there who need you to be flying this plane.
29:15
And he’s like clearly not even holding any rudders or anything.
It’s just, you know, just sitting there standing when he’s space and when you see.
The fucking like shots of the plane, which are like stock footage.
It’s like this giant, like, you know, 747, like, you mean Cessna plane.
29:34
Yeah.
So.
He’s got like, yeah, like, Oh yeah, 30 passengers back there.
Apparently they were.
Flying, you know, like tickets.
No one wanted tickets.
I do because they also talk about that there’s a one guy that’s like the detective or whatever he got later on.
They’re going into like the, you know, the UF OS doorway and he’s they’re saying like, oh, I wonder what’s in there?
29:57
He’s like, well, I was in those flying contraptions.
Are, you know, I, I put myself in a flying contraption before, so I guess I’m going in here too.
You know, it’s talking about how airplanes are kind of new, you know, yeah, it’s, it’s hilarious, though, that they’re, you know, that the sets are really bad.
30:16
And the only thing that really stands out too, that I thought was hilarious is, you know, they get all this we talked about.
They get the stock footage of like the Army and they’ve got like missiles flying off an Army truck and like the trucks like pouncing all over the place.
And that’s funny in itself, but after?
30:31
That they they showed.
The, the commander, you know, just standing and he’s clearly standing in front of a curtain.
It’s like a curtain that’s blue and there’s like a rental in it behind him and it’s supposed to be the sky.
He’s like, he’s just like.
You know, it’s like a fucking.
30:49
Curtain.
You can see the wrinkles in the curtain.
They couldn’t even get a person with an iron to come out.
And not only that.
Not only that.
So he’s in charge of taking out the fucking UFOs, right?
Then he gets sent to the Pentagon and the generals, like I hear you’re in charge of dealing with the the UFO, the flying saucers.
31:10
He’s like, yes, Sir.
And he’s like, do you believe in flying saucers?
Because yes, Sir.
And he’s like, well, this government says that that they don’t exist.
Do you still in say that they exist?
Yes, I believe they did.
Well, you’re breaking the law and then it’s like I well, we they do exist, but you know, I was you know, we just got to see and it’s like mother fucker, somebody put that guy in charge, like he didn’t put himself.
31:35
The Colonel didn’t put himself in charge of a UFO task group to shoot down fly exhausted somebody above him, because he’s not like he’s not in general told him to like, hey, you got to like shoot these fucking things.
So it’s so stupid.
Like it’s like, you know, like it’s trying, it’s trying to do the whole like, you know, government’s lying to you and you know, because citizens, we can’t be trusted to know what’s out there.
32:03
And you know, but you know, they’re doing it for your good though, at the end of the day.
And it’s just, it doesn’t work because it’s incoherent.
It’s just, you know, I think after Balderdash, that’s a a.
Big part part of the movie too, is that the script is, is horrible.
32:18
It it it the way that it’s written is just so haphazard.
It’s all over the place.
It does not come up with a coherent storyline.
It it jumps everywhere and it it just like this.
It’s almost like a bunch of movies put together because it really has no idea what it wants to do.
32:36
And eventually it even switches over to the aliens, which, you know, again, they look exactly like humans.
They just wear funny little, funny little clothes.
They got like little clothes with symbols on them and the guy’s got like a little turtleneck, purple turtleneck on and and not only his, his.
32:53
His back brace like weight belt, brassiere like and you know.
Everybody in this movie is very flamboyant too, like the ruler who’s played by, I think it’s John Breckenridge is, is so flamboyant along with the the narrator who’s played by Criswell.
33:15
It’s just, I don’t know why the film has got such a flamboyance to it, but I I kind of enjoy that part of it.
The film is.
Gay.
This film is so gay, so queer.
It’s like I had that was the one thing I looked up was like it was Ed because Ed would like to cross dress.
33:34
And that’s like also a part of the point of, you know, Glenn and Glendora like so it’s like, was he is he like queer?
Was he like a closet?
Or is he?
And it’s like, Oh no, he was like wasn’t gay or queer, but he was, you know, we cross dressed and loved, you know, this pro LGBTQ.
33:51
So like ahead of his time and in the 50s with, you know, the, you know, I’m trying to blank now, Ginsburg and shit, Kerouac and all that, the Beat, Beat poets.
Yeah, the beats and.
Stuff like, you know, follow, you know, makes track, but it’s so this film is so like the campiness of it isn’t just campy.
34:12
It’s that like, you know, very like stereotypical, like almost like queer campy like that you would expect like from a John Waters film.
So it’s it’s fun.
I’m not saying it’s not because Chris Wall is like the best part about this whole film.
It’s just why do they have a narrator like hello there, look like a blonde, a blonde John C McGinley, like he’s hello there, you little girl.
34:35
That yeah, no, it’s.
Beautiful and like that way.
Yes, going to tell you about.
Things that happened, stuff that happens, there’s things going on, truths and such we’re going to find out.
Like, I’m surprised, like they weren’t like burned alive in the 50s.
34:51
Like, you know, yes, I forget.
We forgot about the narrator, but really it’s kind of insufferable throughout the movie where it’s literally the narrator is actually narrating things that are happening on screen to like to you.
It’s like the.
35:08
Army.
The Army.
Is coming through and they’re going to be shooting down the aliens and then you see like literally the army shooting down aliens it’s like OK great you don’t need the narrator to be literally telling it’s happening on screen it’s it’s annoying well I think so I think well.
I.
Think some of it because a lot of it’s like the Bela Lugosi scenes where it says actual footage.
35:26
So I don’t think he’s spoken though.
They’re just, you know, so he had to like, you know, narrate over.
But the fact that there’s a lot of footage of this film reuses like I wish I had a fucking like, I guess I was going to say like a like a counter, like a little clicker counter.
35:44
Like every time the same God damn, like, you know, scene gets reused or shot gets reused.
It would have been the hundreds.
It’s like, like you’re watching an anime from the 60s.
You’re watching Speed Racer.
Like, you know, battery used the same cell over and over and over again.
36:01
Yeah, they’re effectively.
Like a lot of them, like in the cemetery with Tor Johnson reused a lot.
A lot of times they just have vampire standing, like behind a Bush.
They’re just like, all right, Vampire, you’re going to, you’re going to stand behind.
Explain to me.
36:18
What the hell is vampire in the?
In the 50s, Vampira was this character basically, and she’s almost like an Alvira of the 50s.
And she had her own show for a little while.
And so she had this likeness, right?
36:34
Like this, you know, it was an actress, but she dressed like this and she had a very unique style that involved wearing a extremely tight corset, which.
Is why she.
36:50
Has that like hourglass waist figure.
You know, she had very, very like iconic hourglass waist.
Not not like your normal like you know, they just you know, they have that shapely figure.
No, hers is like literally brought up on.
Yeah.
37:06
Well, I was thinking.
Too like also it’s like man.
Also, how are they not chased out like you whore, you harlot like her, like her dress, like you know, her breasticles are hanging all about.
37:23
Yeah, yeah, it’s, it’s.
It’s yeah, it was a thing back then, but but like to to the point it’s in this movie, it’s like why?
It’s completely unnecessary to the proceedings of the movie to have vampire here because ultimately it also doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because the movie already has way too much going on.
37:45
It has aliens.
Those aliens are raising dead people for some reason.
Like as zombies and with a gun.
With a gun.
Yeah, with.
Like, yeah.
Electro gun and so.
Like, even then at that point, you’re like, all right, hold on, hold on.
38:02
Why?
Why the zombies and why the aliens?
Like, we don’t need both of them.
Like, it’s not, it’s probably not necessary to have both and then at the same time.
And then then you’re also like, oh, OK, but then you’ve got like, Vampira and Bela Lugosi that are really effectively vampires, you know, based on their style of dress and what they’re trying to hint at.
38:24
So it’s like, why?
Why do we need that too?
It’s isn’t it good enough to have Tori Johnson as like this zombie looking guy who honestly his anytime he’s on screen, or at least when he’s a human on screen is fucking hilarious because he the guy can’t act at all.
38:39
He’s I don’t know if it’s a language barrier or what, but like when they get him in the first time he was the inspector.
I think he’s.
He was a professional wrestler so like when they get him in as the.
Inspector and they’re like, you know, they’re like, hey, you should really check this out.
38:55
We got dead bodies over his or or I literally got my flat plate.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
You’re.
You’re upset about that, but not the fact that they gave him the name Daniel Clay?
Yeah, like.
You look at this.
Guy like it’s like in, you know, in a lot of Arnold movies where it’s like, I’m John Kimball, I’m I’m a cop and it’s like.
39:18
Arnold, that’s your.
Slave name?
What’s your real name like?
You don’t have to.
It’s the same thing with him.
Like OK, I.
Know not only that.
Though too, what didn’t you think about like the the cops in the graveyard AKA what I like to call instead of the three stooges, the three Queens because they’re also very like Sassy Caddy and hey girl about it as they’re like I went to.
39:47
The grave.
No, you go in there, give up.
They are.
I don’t but and also like the the police are just so ineffective in this movie.
It’s hilarious.
They’re just like, I don’t know, it’s above my pay grade.
I have no idea what’s going on right now.
40:03
Like Are you sure you want to go over there like the the?
We don’t even have the lab guys and at one point this doesn’t make sense.
They’re like randomly the cops like the web guys are.
Who do you think?
Those guys are back there.
The Boy Scouts.
Fuck, it’s the Boy Scouts.
40:19
There’s I was always amazed because everyone has like a really cheap looking Smith and Wesson, like 38 and they’re all holding it like like if somebody was like a real like gun safety.
40:34
Not they’re like pointing their guns at each other the way they’re like so casually holding at the inspectors, like, yeah, you over there, you go over there and you over there, go over there.
He’s like pointing his gun at them and stuff.
And they’re all just like, the way they hold their gun is so like, Oh yeah, right.
40:51
Like one guy is literally points his gun at his head and pushes his head up.
And apparently in the trivia I did read this, that he actually did that on purpose to make it look ridiculous because he wanted to see if Ed Wood would notice that he was doing like pointing a loaded gun at himself and Ed Wood did not notice, so it stayed in the movie.
41:14
Which?
Is yeah, that’s that’s a trivia that I did read, but yeah, it’s it.
I do love the police because they’re so bumbling and so and again, it just shows too, that the script is horrible.
Like the script?
Reads like somebody.
Who had no.
41:31
Completely.
No idea how police would act or how you know criminal crime scenes are processed.
Wrote this script just like not no idea and I do.
The one thing that’s really funny too is like the grave diggers, right?
41:48
No one.
So the UFOs come, the Empire has risen from the grave and Bella Lugosi’s risen from the grave crime.
The crime or the the grave diggers are killed and no one notices them for like 2 days even after Bela Lugosi was buried in the cemetery.
42:05
How is?
That how?
Are the police not notified their two dead gravediggers in the cemetery near her grave and they bear and somebody else buried Bela Lugosi.
Somebody, somebody showed up to work and like, God damn it, where are those other two gravediggers?
42:21
Like they, they’re supposed to be on the job today.
And like, no one found them, no one knew anything, and they just laid there for two days.
It’s hilarious.
Let’s talk a little bit about the later scenes though, right?
Because like this movie again, it, most of the characters that are involved in it, they’re not really well evolved.
42:43
We get the pilot.
The pilot is like one of the main ends up being one of the main guys because his wife gets carted off by Tor Johnson’s zombie.
Is that graveyard?
Literally like 3 feet off the lawn because they’re, they’re constantly looking like, you know, they’re like, you know, Dennis the Menace, like, you know, sitting on the porch.
43:04
I’ve seen things about things seem to be real weird over there in that graveyard.
I don’t like it.
One of my favorite.
Lines, too, comes from the wife who’s like, well, you’re going to be up there and they’re over there and I’m going to be in there.
Stupid line.
43:21
It doesn’t even make sense.
Oh God, it’s hilarious.
But did you did you notice the fence behind them?
How like misshapen it looks like it was like melted in a fire and look at the fence behind when they’re talking in their in their yard.
43:39
It’s the fence behind her is like, you know, a normal picket fence and then a couple of the pickets are like melted and like squiggly.
It’s really strange.
You’d almost think it’s like, oh, AI generated that now.
43:56
But but no, it was just however they designed the set for some reason.
I don’t I don’t know why.
What do you think about like when we meet the aliens in their you know, their their goals, whatever, whatever this plan 9 is.
What do you what do you think about the aliens?
44:13
OK.
It’s a good concept, I’ll give Ed credit that I.
Think it’s a good like.
Especially for the 50s, I think like, you know, it’s a good concept to have, you know, other beings from the, you know, Galaxy come and be like, hello, dumb apes.
44:37
You just discovered more than fire there, you know.
We.
We.
Prometheus we got, we got to fix this because you’re too dumb to understand the power that you have, especially within the 50s during the Cold War height of, you know, afraid of being naked.
44:57
It’s it’s a sensible idea.
However, the fact that like the aliens are like the woman is just a woman.
Listen to hear the man do the mansplaining and then she gets slapped around every now and then.
45:12
But the man, he’s just for like every good thing he says.
He has like 8 lines of drivel like you don’t understand what you have.
You’re stupid, stupid stupid like you know like it’s so you’re idiots.
45:27
Like it’s just so funny.
Like to Sid fair and be like listen to you know him like you know berate them and stuff.
And this idea too that well, you guys are ignoring like the government should like at the Pentagon when they go at the colonels there, he’s talking to the general like, Oh yeah, we’ve been getting these tape like, you know, messages and we built a very specific language computer to compute this thing so we can be understand what they’re saying.
45:54
And.
As like they’re listening to the message to aliens like very good you’ve we are know that you are able we can communicate with you now because you build computer that decodes the language so very good you’re on your way.
It’s so just fucking stupid and I so it’s a good concept, but I mean, I don’t think Ed’s smart enough to like see this through as to be like something potent because it just comes across as very a fart in the wind, just like, you know, yeah, the whole.
46:30
Idea of the alien so I kind of like the idea that these aliens come down and like whoa whoa, whoa, why you guys so aggressive like we’re not all we’re.
Doing is.
We’re, we’re coming down here.
We want to be friends, right?
Just just a couple of interplanetary friends just trying to figure this things out and, you know, share the sun and you know, the we’ve sick the army on them.
46:53
Like fuck these guys, fuck this UFOs coming in and we don’t know what they are for, but you know what?
But again, at the same time, they did raise the dead.
That would be, you know, that was like your first step and that would be a little bit aggressive.
I’m just saying, well, they said they did it.
47:09
Because they weren’t either, You know, calls aren’t being answered.
And again, I don’t know if that’s where my mind would have went if my phone calls were being ghosted.
Like we’ll probably would have thought like well.
These guys are probably just stupid.
47:25
They haven’t figured out this.
Communication.
Devices yet so we we’ll you know, let’s try a different means and like maybe don’t skip to plan 9 right?
Like what about Plan 3?
Where’s Plan 3, You know, on the, the continuum of plans that they had.
47:43
But Plan 9 is, and I do too.
I like that when the aliens go back to the ruler and they’re like, we’d like to initiate Plan 9 and the ruler’s like, OK, great, have you tried it yet?
And they’re like, yes, we have.
It’s like, well, then why the fuck did you come to me when you’ve already done it?
47:58
You’ve already initiated Plan 9, you’ve raised the dead already.
So like, what am I going to say?
What if I had said, no, let’s not do Plan 9?
Like what would you do then?
You’ve already done it.
So I, I like that too.
But yeah, the the, I think it’s a little aggressive, but I like the idea that they don’t really want to be, you know, attacking the humans.
48:19
What they’re doing is they’re like, Jesus Christ, these guys are playing, playing, literally playing with fire right there.
They’re creating in Edwards words like some sort of they’re call it like solar night or something like that.
It’s like some sort of device that’s going to harness the light from the sun and then eventually it will create a bomb that follows the ray of light back up to the sun and blows up the sun.
48:44
I guess is the is the not only?
That though, too, the fact that they he even answered that is stupid.
You don’t need to then have like you haven’t reached this power yet, but there’s a power known as this.
What do you mean there’s a power like this?
49:00
You dumb assholes, you don’t know the power, but we’re going to tell you about the power.
It’s like you’re worried about them blowing up the universe and then you are, there’s a greater power and this is how you do it.
Like show them the equation to do it.
It’s like you don’t need to say that.
49:16
Like why?
Why would you do that?
You’re stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
So it’s just like, it’s not even like a real thing.
Like, yeah, they just left it vague.
Like, yes, there are greater powers out there that you don’t know about that you may stumble upon and you’re too dumb to understand and selfish to understand.
49:35
Again, could be a nice little point, you know, in red and, you know, red fearing McCarthy era United States, you know, to give like a new, you know, vision and to show things like, yes, here’s here’s another side.
49:55
But now it’s, you know, farcical.
Yeah.
You’re right, though, I do like when the when the alien is basically like, you know, getting heated and basically saying like, you guys don’t understand a thing, like you, this is dumb.
That’s, you know, what you’re doing is dumb.
50:12
Everybody’s dumb around here.
And then the woman tries to step in and be like, well, maybe you guys should.
Know.
That you’re trying to and then she’s like, shut up, woman out of here.
And then he has to explain.
He’s like, we only use the women for procreation.
50:28
We don’t.
I don’t feel like they are.
It’s a man.
It’s a.
Man’s back they’re not meant to be doing.
Research around here, she’s just been tagging along with which is also like, you know.
Like, because she’s in the film and she’s just sitting there, like, blithely in the background, like, you know, hands on her hips, twiddling her thumbs.
50:46
And like, when he’s doing that whole like, like, you know, spiel, I’m like, when’s she going to chime in?
And then, like when he does, she does, she gives her a fucking like, right hook and like, you know, you’re being hysterical, like, and it’s just, it’s just funny.
51:03
But the way that they treat her.
Earlier on, she accidentally like drops the gun with like the little gun and she’s like, he’s like, I don’t know, it’s like it’s jammed or something.
And then when she picks it, he says pick up, pick up that gun, let’s go.
And she picks it up and he’s like, oh, it must have that when I dropped it, it must have unjammed it.
51:22
That’s also The funny thing too, is like when like Tor Johnson’s like coming down.
I mean, she’s like he’s like fire with a gun and she’s like it’s jammed.
It’s like, it’s like, why would an electric gun jam?
Like like, like what, what, what have you built here?
51:40
The physics behind this?
Like for like the like this Electro jam, like you don’t ever play Fallout and like have like an electric gun or like a plasma rifle.
I’m like, oh jam, electric gun is a little.
For Clem to.
It’s so stupid, but also to like it also like kind of defeats the point to of showing like this enlightened society because they’re supposed to, you know, be like better than like, you know, the United States better than the world.
52:12
But then at the same time, it’s like can’t have it, like the true 1950s slag of like women are, you know, constantly.
Yeah, just off the.
Rockers, it’s.
The aliens.
You know, and you know, I being hysterical here.
52:28
No, no, no, it’s the aliens that slapped the woman and you know the man, you know the pilot here, he loves his wife, you know, very much.
And, you know, there’s like that whole, the whole the whole like ending it and then like winning by like luck is just like so like weird and stupid, like I don’t understand.
52:49
Like it’s kind of like.
So what was the point of all that?
Like, you know, there’s like, yeah, it kind of just.
Ends without much like reconciliation or anything.
The UFO flies off into space and blows up.
Blows up and.
53:04
Set on fire.
And like again too, because there’s, I think they hint at it at the end.
They say like, well, there will be more like, yeah, you just blew.
Up a one of their space, one of them.
You’ve been seeing a.
You’ve been you’ve been seeing a billion of them.
In fact, they’re it’s hitting the Hollywood recorder like, you know, flying saucer.
53:24
It’s all about, you know, you don’t need Cole Phelps there to be like, yes.
Yeah, they may be back.
Yeah, it’s it.
It does end as sort of like a superficial note of like it.
It almost feels like it was completely unnecessary as a whole narrative because nothing really ended up getting rectified.
53:45
And nothing really ends up happening in the movie either.
And I think that’s part of the problem with this movie.
Yeah, when we talk about it as a difficult film and that it’s hard to watch is that it is an extremely boring movie.
It really has no narrative flow to it.
54:01
As we’ve talked about a little bit like the editing is all over the place.
As Martin said, the same shots appear throughout the movie in different what’s supposed to be different times.
So but but again, it’s clear that it’s, you know, it was all shot at the same time and they’ve just edited it throughout, which which again, just kind of throws off the tonal atmosphere of the movie.
54:22
It just and again, there’s there’s one caught I can’t remember.
Exactly what it was, but it was like a scene with the Colonel and it’s such a like he’s talking and it jumps like so erratically it’s like, Oh my God, like so like like just like I’m not, you know, fucking it’s just like it like so amateur it’s like holy shit, like and I I.
54:47
Think, you know, it’s just it’s just overall a very tedious watch.
It’s it’s not entertaining.
It’s a little bit funny at times, but like not to the extent where you’re like going to have a good time watching it.
55:02
It’s you know, it doesn’t have anything outstanding to it that really makes you laugh besides the cigar joke about the the UFO, but.
Other than that.
Like I.
Would argue that this.
Is just a really overall bland movie.
Even at an hour and 18 minutes, it feels extremely long and it just I think that’s what makes it so tough to watch is it it has no real like audience flow to it.
55:29
Like there’s nothing that wants makes you want to continue watching And then when you get to the end, you’re just kind of like.
Oh, OK, that was a movie.
Certainly had some sort of storyline to it.
Just think about this too.
Ed Wood was a pretty prolific writer.
55:45
He wrote like 80 novels or something like that, Like pulpy novels.
It’s like, I can’t imagine the kind of storylines that were in those novels and how they, you know, progressed as a as a full book.
Because if it’s if anything is learned from plan 9 from outer space, the man can’t really write a cohesive narrative.
56:07
At least in.
This in this scenario where he was writer, producer and director.
So like, he had all of the, you know, he had all the power to make this a cohesive movie and this is what transpired.
So I don’t know.
It’s really not a good movie.
56:25
I don’t know.
Do you have anything that you want to add about it that we didn’t discuss?
I think that covers it, yeah.
I mean.
I, I, I don’t know if we’re not.
I’m saying we’re not.
Adding anything new to the stuff?
Yeah, I mean I.
Think except our two.
56:41
Cents.
Yeah, I think everything that we’ve.
Said has been said, but yeah, all right.
So on a scale of zero to 10 unnecessary belts in vampires wardrobe, what would you give plan 9 from outer space?
56:57
Give it a. 3 1/2 out of ton It has its moments like there is a charm to it.
I can’t I won’t deny that there is definitely some charm to it and I can see how it is in the so bad.
57:13
It’s, you know, funny like territory, but it just comes off like a too much as like a drunks, you know, stage play that’s being produced and it’s just a nightmare.
57:34
It’s like you say, it’s got some like fun ideas and like fun, like, you know, fun moments.
And it is a terribly made film, a terribly written film, terrible acting and Chris Wall being like the one really fun part of this film on.
57:52
But it’s not enough for me to be enamoured with it, like to fully be appreciative of the so bad it’s good.
So it’s 3 1/2 out of 10.
I’m glad I saw it.
I’m glad I got it off the book.
58:08
Maybe I’d watch it another time.
I think maybe watching it with a group of people again would make because we watched Troll two way back in the day.
We watched it together.
So we can you know, we’re ripping back and forth, but now we would do our watching in solitude.
So Oh yeah, bring how far time it is what it is and I’m not going to be thinking about that much.
58:32
Yeah, I would give it AI would.
Probably give it a three out of 10.
I think that it has some some moments.
I think that you can find some funny elements to it and probably it is more entertaining to watch with people.
58:48
You know, I think it I think it could have some some charm there.
But you know, as an individual film, it’s really not good at doing most of the things that it sets out to do.
Its narrative is really not good.
So the script is really suffers.
59:05
It really doesn’t seem to know a whole lot about what it wants to do.
I think that’s why we get such a really random assortment of ideas like there’s aliens, but they raise zombies and then also maybe there’s like sort of vampires running around.
It’s just kind of all over the place.
59:21
Doesn’t really know what it wants to do.
I don’t think the editing is good either.
And I think that’s what makes it seem like such a long movie, even though it’s not.
It’s, you know, it just feels like we’re constantly seeing the same footage over and over again or being like in the same situations, even though time has supposedly fast passed in the film and all that makes it feel very stagnant.
59:46
And so I think that’s all of those things together make it a really difficult film to watch.
Hard to justify spending the time on it.
Although, as Martin said, I think probably everybody should watch it at least one time just for historical sake, you know, just to say you’ve seen, you know, one of Edward’s worst movies.
1:00:08
It’s probably, you know, a talking point that you might find.
But other than that, you know it’s.
Not it’s not something that I would recommend to most people to just sit down and watch.
It has a place for like bad cinema, but ultimately I don’t think there’s really much value besides like the to say you’ve seen it.
1:00:30
So 3 for me.
It was definitely difficult to watch.
And I think I I.
Certainly had to take a break, and I know you did too.
This isn’t that sad.
It’s an 80 minute film and you gotta let me put this on.
1:00:46
Hold for a second and go do something a little bit more interesting.
Just sit and then.
You’re like go clean the cap box or something.
Just kidding.
All right.
So yeah, I think we’ve got what we’ve got.
We’ve got four more weeks, right?
Because this is actually going to be a five week series or May has five weeks in it, so it’s going to work out that way.
1:01:08
So that’d be fine.
So we got a lot of, I don’t know if we’re going to like announce all the ones that we’re doing.
So no, I think it’d be fun.
Yeah, we’ll keep them a.
Secret, but we’ll we’ve got some cool ones in store we’ve been talking about I said the full series.
I don’t think it’s actually cemented yet, so we’ll be able to switch off if we find something that we like better, but we definitely.
1:01:30
Have some?
Ideas for the next week?
So yeah, we’ll be returning weekly here in the month of May for difficult films all month long.
So that should be fun.
And then hopefully we did want to do Mortal Kombat 2.
We’ll probably get to it eventually, but it may not be within May, even though I know it is releasing next week.
1:01:49
So hopefully at some point we’ll be able to do that one too, since we did do the first one and that was one of our earlier episodes pretty early in the in the show.
Better 2021.
It just feels like forever.
Yeah, maybe.
1:02:05
Maybe it does.
I’m hoping it was a long time ago.
It was.
It does.
Because it was like, great, it was your first movie after COVID.
Yeah, that’s true.
Also.
It ruined my life.
And I pray to God.
Pray to God.
1:02:22
Done.
Just like Karl Urban.
Carry the fucking film to victory.
Make it a.
Karl Urban Film.
Yeah, Carl Urban.
And then it has some other people in.
Well, he’s Johnny Cage and yeah, he’s he’s it’s not, you know, scorpions actually not just used, you know, Spectre from Headley.
1:02:44
He’s just white guy named Cole Fell.
This guy, oh, he’s lineage down the line.
Bullshit.
Get triggered just thinking about it because I got it’s those one of those Pansy ass, like whoever the fuck wrote a Pansy ass.
1:03:02
People who don’t like her like write shit for Hollywood and they’re like, I’ve never read Batman before.
So I don’t really get the whole what’s going on.
So this is what I’m going to do with it and make it my own.
1:03:20
Fuck off.
You want to do that?
You write something for a product that doesn’t, you know, have an established Lauren shit.
Write your own shit.
Fuck off.
Sorry beds aren’t working.
1:03:40
But yeah, I think it’s going to be fun.
We got some nice films picked out and stay tuned.
In fact, one thing Ryan’s going to have to do, he’s going to have to also push out some of our older episodes of difficult films that we watched, like Mako.
1:03:57
That’s right.
Yeah.
That’ll be a good idea.
Yeah, I could push out some like find.
Some of the episodes or are like 4 hour marathon on Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice.
Yeah, maybe a an.
Edited version of that one, like cut cut down.
1:04:15
I almost couldn’t make it through the whole thing.
Oh, listen, you know that was early in the.
Days and yeah, I can’t even remember how we stretch that out to I was probably me but like our Suicide Squad too.
But like, just like, you know, there’s a lot of early talk, you know, Trump era films we can put in there, like, you know, Suicide Squad, Justice League.
1:04:39
Yeah.
The Terminator, Genesis, the RoboCop, you know, reboot.
Yep.
A lot of the Costas Mandalore trilogy of Saw.
I’m just kidding.
That’s not that’s not.
You watch those because they’re better, OK.
1:04:56
You don’t need Jigsaw.
You need Costas Mandelore.
There you go.
There you go.
All right, well thanks for listening to our episode on Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Hope you enjoyed.
We are going to be back all May long with Difficult Films Month.
