Introduction to Vampire Flatmates

Speaker 1

Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast where every week, we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse, I'm Jason. Leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet. Oh, what are you bidding on? I'm bidding on a table Because this week we recommend what we Do in the shadows. Hell yeah, baby, one of the funniest movies ever, oh man. So what do you think of the movie?

Speaker 1

I know it's one of your faves. I've only seen it once before this time. Who doesn't freaking love it?

Speaker 2

It's so good what we do in the shadows and the song that they you're dead, you're dead so when my youngest daughter was a toddler and she was learning to speak, we were watching this show and she loved that song so much so she starts singing it everywhere we go.

Speaker 1

She's like you're dead, you're dead, you're dead, you're dead all the time she's like please, please, don't play this, just don't sing this like in your school. Just randomly you go to a funeral, she's easy you're dead.

Speaker 2

You're dead like stop it yeah, she loves that shit and she told my mom that she wants to be a witch hell yeah, when she grows up. I was like fuck yeah, girl nice you got a cool kid.

Speaker 1

You bought her like tarot cards and stuff, right?

Speaker 2

no, no, no, those weren't for her, but those are, those are for Ashley my life, my life, yeah, so um Taika, taika Waititi you know it's Taika Waititi.

Speaker 1

He's from New Zealand. Man didn't realize how much I love New Zealand. Shit right. This Lord of the Rings like that one show that I can't think of Well I mean, and also Mel Gibson movie Apocalypto. No, fuck me and that asshole.

Speaker 2

Okay's, you can just edit that part out, actually gonna enhance it. No, the the what's the one where he's the freedom oh, that was also filmed in new zealand. Oh cool, I'm brave'm brave for it. Part of it was Anyway, anyway, that was a lot.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that was a lot, so I love. The thing I love about Takabatidi is his awkward comedy. Or is this like offbeat, dry, small comedy? That's just hilarious. Yeah, it's like because everybody, you know they just like they're taking their life so seriously but they're all just doing something so dumb.

Speaker 2

Right. Yes, I think one of my favorite jokes from this movie is when they throw the scarf in the river and they're like, oh, stu would love that it wasn't even his scarf.

Speaker 1

It was a loose knit scarf. I mean we're werewolves, not swearwolves. I mean it's just like it's nothing but hitters. I think we drink virgin blood because it sounds cool. I think of it like this If you're going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.

Speaker 2

Which is true.

Speaker 1

I mean, come on, it's just. I think it's just like Taika really just had something special. Have you seen his movie Eagle vs Shark? That was the first one I saw. No, it's got Tremaine. What the fuck.

Speaker 2

That sounds amazing.

Speaker 1

Well, it's just like a very, very awkward movie and it's just like a very, very awkward movie and it's just like two really awkward people falling in love. Jermaine Clement's in it and he's like he's incredible. He's such a dick in it.

Speaker 2

It was like uncomfortable when I first watched it.

Speaker 1

Because luckily I've gotten better at watching it. The only thing I haven't watching things like this. The only movie of his I haven't seen has been a movie called Boy. That was his first like big, like his first big boy was his first movie where like people were like shit. This guy's got something you know as a director Never heard of it, and then he did. You know what we do in the shadows? He was also doing Flight of the Conchords at that time.

Speaker 2

And did he also do. Our Flag Means Death. Yeah, like much later.

Speaker 1

Cause he did that. Show's good what we Do in the Shadows, then Hunt for the Wilder People.

Speaker 2

Great. What we Do in the Shadows Might be One of my favorite TV series ever made. Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1

Like it really Like the last Season was great and then it was just like all right, let's end it and the last episode's like you just ended it.

Speaker 2

Did they really?

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's over. What Did you not watch the last season?

Speaker 2

I don't think we're done with it yet. Oh fuck, Sorry.

Speaker 1

Well, it's over, okay. And then you got. He did Ragnarok, probably like the best, one of the best Marvel movies, jojo Rabbit, great. That's why he won his first Oscar. He did.

Speaker 2

Ragnarok. Of course, the Screaming Ghosts are hilarious.

Speaker 1

Yeah, well, yeah, then he did Love and Thunder. Wait, wait, is that Love and Thunder? Yeah, Ragnarok's the one where he's fighting Thor, jeff Goldblum's heir, or where he's fighting Hulk, jeff Goldblum's heir, and then Flag means death. Death then Thor, love and Thunder. And I also haven't seen Next Goal Wins, but that was like a movie that got interrupted by COVID.

Speaker 2

I loved Our Flag Means Death. It's such a great show but like the fact that, like they took the idea of how men on the sea would just do homosexual stuff, just blow each other all the time yeah. But it was still considered kind of like bad. Yeah, they would just rape the boys. Yeah, I like the direction he went with it, where everyone's just openly gay.

Speaker 1

And really nice.

Speaker 2

And like happy people.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's wonderful. It's like, hey, what if we took the worst elements of it? And just like try to make it not terrible to watch.

Speaker 2

You look like a man who enjoys a soft garment, yeah.

Speaker 1

Because, like, wasn't it just from like listening to podcasts or whatever? Like it was one of those things where they always like they'd have somebody on the boat that would like give blowjobs to guys and everybody knew that was a thing, but if you were seen doing it they'd like kill you or something, but it was, everybody was getting it. So it's like guys like figure out, are you just gonna?

Speaker 2

let a guy blow you, or are you not?

Speaker 1

gonna let a guy blow you. Just be cool guys like. If you run into it, be like I, I got next.

Speaker 2

Because they outlawed women on ships, because it's bad luck. Yeah, what'd you think was gonna happen? Yeah right. Everybody's got it Not everybody can have a turn with the milk goat.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yikes, milk goat. Yeah, so you got Jermaine Clement. You know, everybody knows him A lot of the concords. He's also in like a billion other things. Yeah, tyke already went through um deacon's played by johnny bruh, which I don't really I can't think of what else he's really been in. I know he's in thor, love and thunder as like a small character, nice outside of that. You know, it's just in a bunch of you know, like movies from new zealand and stuff and I was stuff and our boy, our boy Stu, should we dive?

Speaker 1

in on some things. I got about Stu. So Stu, played by Stu Rutherford, had not played a primary acting role in a movie prior to appearing in this one. He was an extra and boy. Stu was a part-time business analyst for a Wellington company. He was hired for the film under the impression that he would be working on computers and that he would play a small part in the film.

Speaker 2

And he ends up as the heart of the fucking movie Everybody loves him so much.

Speaker 1

And by the end of the movie, like when we're like Stu he died. I'm like genuinely sad about it and then it's like he comes in and it's like let's fucking go Stu.

Speaker 2

That's my guy, but he brings them all together.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's so sweet oh fantastic. Oh, I love jackie's character, her transformation throughout the movie. Yeah, she's just like, oh, I'm never gonna get turned. And then it's like my husband, I, I'm his master now. Oh that's her husband. Yeah, like that becomes her familiar, yeah.

Speaker 2

Oh, I didn't know.

Speaker 1

At the end of the movie I almost missed that part At the end it's not like the very oh, I think it's mainly during like the credits.

Speaker 2

There's like some extra stuff during the credits.

Meet the Vampire Household

Speaker 1

I didn't watch the credits. Jeez, guys, you just won't give credit to anybody around here. So this is, this is our first vampire movie, right? I think so. Is it like weird that it's like the best vampire? So when I think about vampire, if you're like, hey, do you want to watch Interview with the Vampire? What we do in the shadows, dracula, twilight or Well, I don't know If I put Lost Boys in there that's actually going to be tough to pick.

Speaker 2

Man, I haven't seen that one all the way through Lost Boys.

Speaker 1

I used to watch it as a kid. It's like how would I put it? Fantastic, it's so of its time. And ridiculous Vampire's playing fucking saxophone Hell yeah, it's so of its time and ridiculous Vampires playing fucking saxophone Hell yeah. It's everything you need. I'm trying to think you got the John Carpenter's vampires which you just got a shit. What's his name?

Speaker 2

Wood, something, wood, it's better than Dracula dead and loving it.

Speaker 1

Me and Natalie actually rewatched that recently and I thought it was like it was fun, what are the best my favorite guy he's in that one he's in John Carpenter's vampires. It's like he's just like a fucking cool guy.

Speaker 2

Oh it's one of those type of movies go ahead sorry no, like Dracula dead and Loving it when the lady is like floating away and he's like just walk or something and she's yeah, I don't remember shit about that, that one.

Speaker 1

We kind of watched it, I think we put it on like around like 10 pm and it's just like that's a good time to watch that one. Come on, let's put some jokes in here. That land, but I still liked it. Just the jokes weren't landing. It's hard, alright. So for this film, about 125 hours of footage was shot, most of which was improvisation from the cast. The process of editing that down to a 90 minute movie took almost a year. The directors have stated that they are considering making all the footage available online so that fans can edit their own version. Fucking cool, that's pretty awesome 125 hours on a 90 minute movie.

Speaker 2

I kind of like that idea Make your own movie with the shit we've already filmed. Yeah, that's kind of cool, that stuff with who?

Speaker 1

God I can't remember anybody's name today the guy from that's his toe for grace Like he. He like reedited the prequels and stuff like that to like make them decent.

Speaker 2

That would be a cool idea for a competition, like an editing competition, steven Soderbergh, who did like Ocean's Eleven and all those movies.

Speaker 1

He edited Indiana Jones to make it a black and white silent film. Nice, it's kind of cool. Yeah, I think they should put it on. I just would watch the footage I hope it's completely unedited footage and everything Just so I could watch, like them laughing at their own jokes, because that's what you know, if it's improvised, that's probably all they're doing is just laughing.

Speaker 1

It's 125 hours of just a bunch of New Zealanders like. Oh. Interesting fact, the building used for the exterior shots of the vampire's house used to be Peter Jackson's office. It's Peter Jackson, lord of the Rings in New Orleans, new Zealand, new Orleans. Same. He might have done something there For more Lord of the Rings in New Orleans, new Zealand, new Orleans. Same. He might have done something there for more Lord of the Rings facts. The hill where the vampires have a run in with the werewolves is the same hill filmed in the Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring, where Frodo and the hobbits are running from the black rider and hiding under the roots of the tree oh interesting and it looks like it's like next to a road they just pulled over off the side of the road yeah.

Speaker 2

It's like a bunch of hey, get in there, you short boys.

Speaker 1

So the movie initially didn't do very well in its homeland, new Zealand, so distribution to the United States was canceled. The directors were able to bring screenings of the film to the USA after a successful Kickstarter fundraising campaign, where it eventually became the most pirated movie of the year. Pirated, pirated, yeah, people just watched it online for free Sucks, because it could have made a lot of money.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I don't pirate things anymore, mostly because I don't know how it used to be easy.

Speaker 1

So the key influences for the writers were the Lost Boys. Dracula the 1992 Gary Oldman version so, like Deacon, was a character from Lost Boys, this is the way he was. Dracula that was Vlad's character was based off Gary Oldman in that oh nice Interview with a Vampire. Viego was based off Gary Oldman in that oh nice interview with a vampire.

Speaker 2

Uh, viego was based off of that um wait which one. Which character? Taika Viego, I know, but like which one in?

Speaker 1

interview. Oh, I can't. I would assume it was probably Tom Cruise's character, or maybe it was Brad Pitt's, I don't know. There's two of them that they could be.

Speaker 2

Which one's? In your opinion, who's the gayest vampire in Interview with the Vampire?

Speaker 1

It's definitely Tom Cruise.

Speaker 2

Not Antonio Banderas.

Speaker 1

Oh shit, I forgot he was in there that movie, kind of fucking rips dude. I still love it. I love that movie. I've only seen it once with Natalie because she's like we should watch it, and then we did, and Natalie because she's like we should watch it, and then we did. And I was like, oh, why didn't these guys do a movie again? Interesting fact Tom Cruise was supposed to be the original, was supposed to be Brad Pitt's character in Once Upon a Time in.

Speaker 2

Hollywood. Oh, I thought Brad Pitt also did Once Upon a Time in Mexico. That was a fun one. You mean the?

Speaker 1

Mexican, no, maybe yeah, with Julia Roberts.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

Speaker 1

That's the movie where he's in Mexico.

Speaker 2

No, the one that's in Mexico is when? I'm pretty sure it's Brad Pitt. I don't know, dude, I know they're all shooting up in the air and then a bullet falls.

Speaker 1

No, it's Antonio Menderes, william Dafoe, johnny Depp, mickey Rourke, danny Trejo. Damn that movie got everybody in it.

Speaker 2

Let's do that one next.

Speaker 1

All right. One more thing they lost the charred skeleton body during the shoot of Peter Peter Peter After throwing it into the harbor for a funeral scene that didn't end up making the film and not realizing it was drifting away. Taka Watiti commented on the situation, saying it was quite realistic looking. So we had to put a press release out saying that if anyone finds this charred body washed up on the beach, don't be alarmed. It's just a prop, nice, what if someone found someone is like All right, I can finally kill my husband, yeah, and burn him alive and throw him in the water and people would be like perfect opportunity.

Speaker 1

Oh this is that classic Taika Waititi?

Speaker 2

nonsense, oh no, they're all props, they're all props, everybody everything's a prop, um.

Speaker 1

So who's your favorite character in this?

Speaker 2

uh, I don't know kind of Nick Nick yeah, cause, no, he's not my favorite, I think the. There is no wrong answer well, I think the the main character, the guy that Viego yeah yeah, viego, yeah, he's just so cute, right?

Speaker 1

you just like you love. I like how dainty he is.

Speaker 2

He's a dandy yeah, yeah, I kind of love an idiot, dandy.

Speaker 1

It's so weird how well the TV show captured the spirit of the movie right, especially with the characters, because you know, like I always say, nandor is my favorite in the show. But it's just like if you told me, like all right, you can only keep one, you got to kick all the other ones off. I'd be like I'd rather just kill myself. I don't want any of these people off the show.

Speaker 2

Cause, yeah, it's just something about movies or shows about flatmates, yeah, even like the show flatmates, which is super fucking funny, and just roommates in general. I mean, friends had a pretty good run.

Speaker 1

Yeah, roommates in general, I mean friends had a pretty good run.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I like it less than these.

Speaker 1

But whatever it's just I don't know, it's just the way, it's just fun seeing. It's just the classic bit of hey, what if you have this weird characters that have these powers or whatever?

Speaker 2

But they also have to try to live together. They're also just Because you never think about oh, if I become a vampire, have these powers or whatever.

Speaker 1

But hey, they got to live. They also have to try to live together. They're also just, it's like cause you never think about, like, oh, if I become a vampire, well, what am I going to do?

Speaker 2

I know. Forever, for eternity. Are you just going to live by yourself?

Speaker 1

Do I want to live forever and have to clean my house forever?

Speaker 2

No, you just move to how they struggle.

Speaker 1

Just trying to live in normal everyday life, but everything's at night Just put down some newspaper. Yeah, please put down a towel. We're vampires. We don't put down towels. We don't do dishes. I haven't read into the dishes. It's like why are y'all even using so much dishes? You just bite and suck the blood, that's it.

Speaker 2

I'm so embarrassed when we have people over yeah, but then you just kill them.

Speaker 1

It's like oh, that is true, yeah, that is true. And then they have a fight and they hiss at each other and fall out. So good, yeah, just like, at like. I just love like, because nick's character is great. Mine is also viego, he's my favorite, um, and then probably I can't choose between stew they're all pretty fucking funny.

Speaker 1

That's impossible. But, like nick, just be just running around, I'm twilight, I'm twilight, fucking twilight, and it's like, yeah, if there was like someone around 2014 that turned into a vampire, this is just totally how they act.

Speaker 2

I saw a video today on TikTok about Twilight, but instead of her falling in love with the boy, it was a owl kitty, the cat with a really cute black cat.

Speaker 1

Yeah, Did you watch it? Have you ever seen the SNL parody where they're doing a parody of Twilight but instead of Vampire it's Bill Hader as Frankenstein? No, Say it.

Speaker 2

Say it, frankenstein no.

Speaker 1

I would say that, oh dude, you got to watch it. It's so good, it is funny. So what do you think about? I mean, I know it's different now because we have so many different shows and movies that have done the mockumentary thing, but I feel like this came in just right on time before it was just kind of like so is every TV show and like goofy little movie, going to be kind of a mockumentary where we're following these people around like I think it kind of started oh no, that was the office.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, and then parson rec, and then you got movies like this and now you have like five other different shows that kind of do the same thing I love it because it kind of gives you the illusion that they're normal people. Yeah, trying to live normal life.

Speaker 1

I think honestly, the mockumentary style, they could probably pretty much do it for anything. It's going to work. But you can't do another show like the Office set in an office doing that, because then it'd be like, all right, we're out of ideas with this style, let's put it to rest for a while and then come back. You can't do another vampire.

Speaker 2

Maybe if it was a different kind of office, like I think they kind of did the same thing with shows like veep, where they kind of kind you know what I mean.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I haven't seen that one, but I do know of it and like parks and rec, like inside the government. So yeah, yeah, those two work and those were like some of the first. You know few versions of it that we were really doing, but now it's just like there's a doctor one. Now I don't know. You had what we Do in the Shadows and you know like Modern Family was essentially doing it.

Speaker 2

Have you seen the one that's in like ancient Poland? Uh-uh, I'll have to look up what it's called.

Speaker 1

It's a mockumentary.

Speaker 2

Yeah, kind of what you. It's a mockumentary yeah kind of.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you even got ghosts. Ghosts is essentially a mockumentary, yeah, ghosts. But funny thing is which now I'm going to have to definitely watch it. So they're the police officers who arrive in the house after the fight between Deacon and Nick. Later, yeah, they got a spinoff show called Wellington Paranormal. It's on Max Wow, it's another Taika Waititi, jermaine Clement production. It features the same officers investigating and explaining away all sorts of paranormal phenomenon and, yes, I'm going to put it on after the podcast. Hell yeah, and there were going to be a follow-up movie titled Werewolves. Apparently it's supposed to be in production. I doubt it is anymore. It's also a mockumentary. The movie follows a group of werewolves living in modern day Wellington, new Zealand, I mean those guys were pretty funny.

Speaker 2

I could see how that could be. I would probably watch it. I would watch the fuck out of it.

Speaker 1

Especially if it's like the exact same characters plus two. Yeah.

Speaker 2

Well, I love how they were trying to chain themselves to the trees, but they're like you wore jeans.

Speaker 1

Yeah, the alpha males is getting so pissed off about it. It's like you're not supposed to swear I don't fucking care, we ain't got much time here.

Vampire Daily Life Struggles

Speaker 2

Y'all gonna lose those pants and they're just struggling to take off their clothes, so they don't rip their clothes yeah so good so they're like self hating werewolves. Yeah, somehow, I don't know, this is so fucking funny. So good, so they're like self-hating werewolves. Somehow, I don't know, this is so fucking funny. All right, so the show's called 1670.

Speaker 1

Is this like a Wow. It's got really good reviews. It looks funny.

Speaker 2

Oh, it's on Netflix.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's pretty fucking funny and they just like talk to the camera and yeah yeah, like the, the leader is this guy.

Speaker 2

That's the biggest idiot and but he's the leader and so I don't know. There's this one episode where they have to. There's a guy that's an alcoholic and so he tries to quit drinking and everyone gets mad at him because he was like the village idiot and they're like we need you to start. They have an intervention for him to start drinking again. Yes, they need some entertainment.

Speaker 1

Yeah, there's a user review on a or a featured review. It feels like a combination of the office, modern family and Monty Python meets the 17th century.

Speaker 2

It's really cool. I'm going to have to check this out. I'm going to put it on my list it kind of reminds me of him, like Henry Cebrowski too, Like.

Speaker 1

I'm in now. Definitely All right, bro, let's get in the shadows, shall we?

Speaker 2

Let's do more dark yeah.

Speaker 1

Just like the small little lines, it's like they don't overdo it. They just like the small little lines, it's like they don't overdo it. They just like say it, it's so subtle. Yeah, all right. So every few years, a secret society in new zealand gathers for a special event. Yeah, and holy masquerade. In the months leading up to the ball, a documentary crew was granted full access to a small group of this society. What an insane thing.

Speaker 1

I want to see it all up to that point too, just like them signing the contracts and everything, getting their crosses, and didn't it say they were also blessed, or something?

Speaker 2

Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1

So it's 6 pm. Diego wakes up from his coffin. He's got an alarm clock, he's got an alarm clock, sticks his hand out like tapping it, and then, like everybody, he opens it.

Speaker 2

So he like Raises halfway up, yeah, raises halfway up.

Speaker 1

And then he looks at the camera like eee, then raises and it's immediately I'm hooked forever for the rest of my life in anything Taco Aditi does. And then, like we learn, and then like we learned, he's like 379 years old, he's like super scary, he's like this is the scariest part.

Speaker 2

And then, like, opens the blinds, like oh my god, he peeks out real quick. Yeah, oh good, it's night.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's like it must really suck whenever, like, the power goes out.

Speaker 2

Oh man, yeah, he's like oh no and when I was in the army, we always had to have battery operated alarm clocks for that reason oh smart.

Speaker 1

So, um, he's going to wake up his other flatmates. We have a flat meeting. I can't do. Uh, new Zealand exit, so we meet Deacon. Um, I transformed. He's got the one of the best lines he sleeps in the closet he hangs upside down.

Speaker 1

I transformed into a dog and had sex. That's what he did last night. He had a late night. Then we meet Vladislav, who is having sex, but whenever he opens the door it looks like it's in like a. Yeah, that was cool. It looks like we're seeing it from a top-down perspective. Yeah, it was badass. Fucking rules. I wish I had vampire powers. If I could just make openings seem like different.

Speaker 2

And then he opens the door a second later and there's nothing. Completely normal. All the people are gone. Yeah, everything Meeting in 10 minutes? Yeah, 20. 20.

Speaker 1

Okay, and then he goes to Peter's room with a chicken. He's essentially Nosferatu, of course. He's got a stone casket, his room is very messy and Viego wants to clean it up If you want I could just bring down a broom, you could just clean up a little bit, he's like they're like is Peter coming to the meeting?

Speaker 1

No, he's 8000 years old, he's not coming so at the meeting um, we learned deacon doesn't pull his weight around the flag, he doesn't clean up. Um, we learned that he's cool and rebellious, the young bad boy of the group at 183 years old yeah, um, but yeah, there's pissed off at him that he won't clean the dishes. And then he pans over the dishes, and there's just so much in the dishes.

Speaker 1

Covered in blood and there's notes that say please clean, oh man. And we learn he became a vampire when he got picked up by a vampire who turns out to be Peter, and they are still friends today. He's like yeah, I was just walking next to this old creepy castle and then a creature came up and got me and then he like drained my blood and then made me drink his blood and he like flew up and he said you're a vampire and it's like that's Peter, oh, good old Peter.

Speaker 1

And so Vlad is an older vampire from medieval times.

Speaker 2

That was pretty funny.

Speaker 1

He's a great guy, but a bit of a pervert, vlad the poker yeah. And then like, while like we're cutting in between him telling his stories, he's like he's a little bit old in his ways. We should get slaves. We learn he's 862 years old. He was a tyrannical back in the day. He tortured people a lot.

Speaker 2

He poked people lads love the poker well, I love how he can't get the faces right, yeah oh, and then they show up later.

Speaker 1

He's got the cat face so creepy. Uh, viego was an 18th century dandy. He likes he likes things clean. He likes he lays down towels. We see him like um gonna suck the girl's blood.

Speaker 2

Well, I love that's a little later.

Speaker 1

He's so nice yeah, he's just so nice. He just wants to give them, like their last, a nice night before they die. Um, and then, like deacon and viego, really start fighting about the dishes they fly up in.

Speaker 2

Hissing.

Speaker 1

And then we get the classic what we do in the shadow song You're dead. We see float vacuuming, brushing Peter's teeth, so and then we cut to uh, vlad, um, we learned that he was 16 when he turned, but times were rough back then, so now he looks 40.

Speaker 2

Yeah, he looks middle-aged at 16, we learned deacon was a nazi vampire, it's like.

Speaker 1

So, after the war which we lost, y'all might not know that, um, it was really bad to be a naz Nazi and it was really bad to be a vampire. It was really bad to be a Nazi.

Speaker 2

Yeah, just forget about it. So I had to get out of there.

Speaker 1

Then we get a bunch of pictures of them living together. It's great, they're like partying and stuff and just having fun. Viego came to the country for love, we find out he liked it. He so Viego came to the country for love, we find out he liked a human girl. When he told her how he felt she already had been married, she gave him a pure silver necklace that he can't wear. Even though he tries, he's like at first he puts it on, it's like steaming and he's like, yeah, and then he's like, oh, that's as long as I can wear it. But we also learned that the reason that he didn't get married to this girl was because his familiar at the time shipped him all around the world because he got the address wrong. Never thought about that being a problem for vampires man, the postal system was terrible back then. Yeah, we see that they play in a three-man band and he's terrible Like they're both.

Speaker 2

Like Vlad and Deacon are kind of good at their instruments. I mean, you have eternity to learn to trumpet Right, or is it just a horn without the the mouth?

Speaker 1

No, he definitely had the thing. I think he just wasn't using him. I thought he was doing a great job.

Speaker 2

I love how he was just playing so shitty and then he turned the music page, yeah, like he was reading the music.

Speaker 1

He wasn't. Yeah, he wasn't, because he picked up without even looking at it, right back where he's left off. So they're going to go out and they're getting ready. They can't see each other, so to get ready.

Speaker 2

They draw each other. Oh look, ghost Cop.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but they just like poorly draw each other or they walk around with like a coat, hanger and stuff and they're like oh, this is how it would look, Don't? They have cameras. Well, they're not yet. They don't have cameras yet. That was Stu taught them cameras and phones and all that. Oh, okay, good old Stu. But yeah, it's really funny, it's time to go. Oh, and this is we get like the line. It's like sometimes you see a guy and you really like his pants, so you kill him.

Speaker 1

Hell yeah, I don't know the clothes they were trying on. Most of them were splattering with blood. Yeah, it's time to go out and party vampire style, cut to them on a bus they can't go in any of the nightclubs because they don't get invited.

Speaker 1

Yeah, they want to go in. He's like oh, why don't you invite me in? It's like just you can walk in. It's like you're like they won't. They're like, no, either go in or don't. Um, so they go to a vampire bar where they can get invited in. Um, it's super dead, though. They're like this is the hottest vampire club there is four people, they all look like nerds and they just walk in, start kind of dancing but it was funny.

Speaker 2

Like when they're walking on the street and they see other vampires, they kind of hiss at each other and then, like they find the lady, she's like oh this guy, yeah, I've been draining them all night, yeah, and then you got like the two kids that were turning into vampires. We're gonna get a pedophile. Yeah, we're gonna kill a pedophile okay, good luck.

Speaker 1

Um, and then deacon, we meet his familiar jack. She's going to bring over some uh, virgins for him.

Speaker 2

Uh, the future, Guillermo, yeah.

Speaker 1

And she, uh, she wants to know when he will turn her, but he, of course, ignores her and tells her to go off.

Speaker 2

I'm really glad that they just glad I made the show. Yeah, it's just a continuation of this.

Speaker 1

It's so good. I won't say it's better because I love this movie so much, but it's just like right on par with the movie.

Speaker 2

I love it yeah.

Speaker 1

I didn't like when they spoilers, when they turn him into a vampire and he doesn't want to be a vampire. I'm like whoa we've been building, I wanted to see Guillermo as a vampire, and then he doesn't want to be a vampire and they unturn him into a vampire.

Speaker 2

I'm like whoa we've been building. I wanted to see Guillermo as a vampire. God damn it. So Viego.

Speaker 1

Yeah, well, he was, but he was just really bad. Yeah, he was like he didn't want to kill people and it's like well then, don't become a vampire. What have you been doing? Here, the argument. So Viego makes it a nice experience when he drains blood, since it's their last time alive. He smooth talks a girl and then goes to drain her and hits a jugular. Blood gets everywhere. He's like, oh, he's like open his mouth and just spewing straight into it.

Speaker 2

Why doesn't he just? I don't know, it's so funny, he's just covered in blood and he looks sad that she's dead she's so excited about like to get kissed yeah, she's like ooh, ooh, okay, what's going on here?

Speaker 1

um then, vlad, he's gonna feed on a girl watching TV. He tries to hypnotize her, but he's not powerful enough because his arch nemesis, the beast, defeated him once, so now he isn't as strong.

Speaker 2

I love how they go and like they talk about yes, see me. And he like knocks on the door yeah, but no, they go into. Like how he used to be able to hypnotize entire groups of people yeah, but now he's just reduced to talking to people through their windows at home and they don't even notice them.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's like it must be the angle she's watching TV.

Speaker 2

She can't see me. She can't see me.

Speaker 1

So then, jackie brings over the humans for them to feed. One of them is Nick, jackie's ex when she was 12.

Speaker 2

You think she's very confident until this.

Speaker 1

Yeah, then you're like oh okay, she's just as dumb as they are yeah, and I love it, and then, like the other, I can't remember the other girl's name. I didn't put it in here, didn't?

Speaker 2

she work with her. No, they went to school together.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and I guess she made up the nickname, the Jackie Jacks, jackie Jacks or sis.

Speaker 2

Yeah, she teased. She's there once in school.

Speaker 1

She's like oh, I didn't call you that. So, yeah, yeah, that was you, that was you. And so it gets her to come. They ask if they're virgins, but they aren't. Jackie's like. It's like yeah, you are Nick. It's like we dated, it's like I was 12. Because Vlad is like you don't, you're a virgin, you don't look like a virgin. And this is where I'll put it like this to you Would you enjoy a sandwich more if you knew if one had been fucked? I messed up the line? Would you enjoy one if you knew it had been fucked?

Speaker 2

Yes, it turns purity culture on its head, yeah.

Speaker 1

And then we got spaghetti worms they just put it like a cold plate of spaghetti.

Speaker 2

He's like I'm gonna go prepare dinner.

Speaker 1

It comes back with two cans of spaghetti or whatever and so essentially, they just like, they make him eat it and it's like, ooh, you just ate the worms. Now your penis is a snake he's like whoa, I'm fucking out of here. They made my penis look like a snake, oh no, it's a cobra, yeah, um. And then. So Nick tries to leave, but he can't get out. They chase Diego. Hits his jugular, uh, diego. So they chase um, uh, vlad hits the jugular.

Speaker 2

That's really funny how they're chasing around the house. Yeah, vlad hits the jugular. That's really funny how they're chasing around the house.

Speaker 1

Vlad hits the jugular of one girl and there's like blood splattering everywhere. You got the Vlad cat. He's like sucking up. Nobody's around him anymore and he's got his backpack on Next, thing, you know. Deacon's coming out of the backpack so I'm assuming he batted into it. Bat and then he gets outside. But Peter gets him.

Speaker 2

Oh, they're like oh, peter, got him, poor guy the way.

Speaker 1

Nick, the way like Nick talks and like looks at the camera and stuff is so funny and it's like how slight. He says everything. It's like I don't want to be here. They made me, they made my penis look like a snake. I'm out of here. I'm not into this, so funny and even as a vampire.

Speaker 2

He's just a goofy son of a bitch.

Speaker 1

He essentially stays the same. That's great. So then we cut to. Two months later, deacon dances while the others watch. That's great. So then we cut to. Two months later, deacon dances while the others watch and then we see Nick, who is now a vampire, struggling to fly inside the house, Like why the fuck won't you just come through the door? It's like I'm a vampire, I don't have to.

Speaker 2

He's like oh, the best thing about being a vampire is that you can fly.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's very good at it only been a vampire for two months struggling to get in the window yeah and we see, nick, I was just doing an erotic dance for my friends and you interrupted it, yeah oh, we see nick is wanting to learn from them, but he also thinks that they can learn from him. They're going out and now they're going to go out. And now we meet Stu. My guy, nick, tells us he doesn't know he's a vampire. It's like it sucks, because I really want to eat him. You can't hear me?

Speaker 2

Like I want to tell him but I can't. It's like we learn like Stu dated Nick's, but I can't.

Speaker 1

It's like we learned like Stu dated Nick's sister and they broke up and he's like, oh, now he's my mate, yeah, my best mate, yeah, very sweet Deacon, doesn't like? Nick Said he shouldn't have been turned and he's? He's just really jealous because he can get them into clubs now, because he knows people that work at the bars. So after the club, the, so they all go into the clubs. After the club the five of them are.

Speaker 2

It's really funny when they're on the way to the club and that one dude's like homos.

Speaker 1

Yeah. And they're also like they get in there and they're just like, yeah, this after. And then what? Yeah, nick's like telling everybody he's a vampire and everybody, oh wait, no, that's not. Yeah, that's a little bit later. So they, they all party, they're having a good time. After the club, the five of them are walking and walk past some werewolves. It's like thought I.

Speaker 2

Oh, they must really smell bad.

Speaker 1

Yeah, they all start kind of making fun of each other and then, like one of the werewolves, swear. It's like hey, what are we? We're werewolves, not swearwolves. All right, yeah. And then it's like why? Don't you go pee on something. And then, like they start pissing them off and like when the guy starts losing, like they're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, yeah, and then they have to like kind of breathe through it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, take deep breaths. It's like they're a support group with a disease.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's like a walking AA. Yeah.

Speaker 2

I guess like can't repeat is kind a disease. Yeah, it's like a walking AA movie, I guess lycanthropy is kind of a disease.

Speaker 1

You just never think about it. So, nick, he's going to tell Stu that he's a vampire. He's super nervous to tell him. And then he tells him and Stu's just like okay, yeah, literally almost Stu's the coolest guy. Stu is literally the boringest person on the planet and has no reaction to anything, and it's great.

Speaker 1

You kind of need a friend like he's a great friend when everybody's weird and crazy, you just need that friend to be like hey, you want to hear something crazy. He's like oh okay, do you need help with like computers and stuff? Yeah, she's a software analyst. Yeah. And then we learned vieiego. Vlad Deacon they all love Stu Deacon's going to start knitting him a scarf. Stu teaching Viego how to fight. He shows them phones, computers and cameras are like walking around like this what it shows, like videos of sunrises videos pictures of virgins.

Speaker 1

They're like I don't think she's a virgin doing that, um, and then he like learns how to like, show him like, oh, portable cameras and stuff, yeah it's great.

Speaker 2

Yeah, this is like the old nokia phones and stuff. Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 1

And then, uh, stew helps viego video call his old servant. Uh, he brings up the servant phil. Philip brings up the girl Viego liked and then Philip brings up that he didn't turn him and is like I'm 90 years old now. Viego's like just closes the bathtub.

Speaker 1

Just looks like eee Yikes and Viego, feeling sad, goes to see his old love at a retirement home and just stands out. They kind of did that bit in what we do in the Shadow Show, oh, which I think was it Laszlo or Nandor, like goes and visits an old lady, and it's kind of from this. I don't remember. Yeah, I can't remember.

Speaker 1

I think it was like season one or two. So we're at a party. Nick keeps telling people he's a vampire. Yeah, I'm a vampire. It's like, no, you're not. It's like, yeah, I'm actually a vampire. Yeah, deacon Viego and Vlad tell him he can't, but he keeps doing it. He tells two dudes and one of them says he's a vampire hunter. But he doesn't believe him. I'll give you my email. I mean he's talking to a guy at the convenience store cash register that's it.

Speaker 2

Is this the?

Speaker 1

vampire hunter. No, no, it was one of like two guys at a bar. But the guy's like, oh yeah, I'm a vampire too, I can turn and everything. And then Nick turns, like don't lie about turning into shit. So and then Deacon and Nick fight. Nick eats the french fries Like don't lie about turning into shit.

Speaker 2

So, and then Deacon and Nick fight. Nick eats the French fry.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, but like so Deacon and Nick, their fight, like Nick keeps running around. I'm Twilight. Like shut up, you're not Twilight.

Speaker 2

He's like I'm Dracula man, and then they have like a bat fight and just kind of start floating around.

Speaker 1

It's great. And Deacon ends up winning and rips Nick's jacket. And so they go to this diner and Nick who's this Deacon? Flew off and Nick's just sitting there and once his jacket got ripped, he's like you ripped my jacket. And then they get back into the little like diner or whatever and he's just like sitting there and he's just like looking at the camera. What's the thing with his jacket? It's just like they ripped my jacket.

Speaker 2

It's so good. The jacket that's a copy of Deacon's. Yeah, it's like just the reverse colors. Yeah.

Speaker 1

So Nick, who's upset, eats some fries and vomits like crazy it's. Like you know, I don't mind the sun not being out during the sun but chips it's my favorite food.

Speaker 1

I can't eat chips, oh regrets. So deacon tells jackie that he was gonna buy her, but nick took her spot. She said if she had a penis she would have been turned in, turned into a vampire by now. Everybody's just biting each other's dicks. I fucking love Jackie D she. I forgot. Like I kind of forget about her whenever I watch this movie and I'm like that's right, I forgot. She's like kind of hilarious. So Viego explains that he didn't kill. Um, what's, what's the girl that he's in love with?

Speaker 2

Catherine, paul, oh, the 89 year old. Yeah, yeah, I can't remember.

Speaker 1

It's like Catherine, something like that. He didn't kill her husband because he saw how happy she was. Then, like we see him, he's got his little necklace, he opens it. There's like a picture of him and her in it, and then he like scans it and then makes a bigger picture and like puts it on his coffin and then closes the coffin and then all of a sudden he's jerking off in the coffin can vampires see at night? Yeah, they got night vision so next morning Peter is screaming, otherwise they'd just be bumping into the show.

Speaker 1

That is true. So he got caught into the sunlight and is burning and he died. Oh no, and then like Vlad like like get some water. Vlad comes in with like a tiny bucket of water. That was it. And then, like Peter's dead. He's like I was too late.

Speaker 2

And then he like runs at the camera turn it off.

Speaker 1

Our friend has been killed in a fatal sunlight accident. Um, and then we learned peter was attacked by a vampire hunter. He killed him, but the sun got him. Nick comes down to see and it's uh, we see that it's one of the guys earlier. He told that he was a vampire. They're super pissed at him. Deacon nick fight again. Um, they're. It's a really dope kind of fight like, because they're kind of running all around the thing and that was cool. And there's one point where he's like laying on the ground on the roof and he's like get up and stand on the ceiling like a man. That's pretty good. And then the fight is interrupted by a knock at the door. It's the police. They came to check on the forced entry and shrieking Diego hypnotizes him, but he's not very good at it and they act like everything is normal and just act like the police. They let him walk through the house.

Speaker 1

You still have the two Deacon and Nick floating and they point up at where Nick is in the corner of the room. He's like oh, you see that you've got no fire alarms in here.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah. When they go to Peter's room, yeah, they look past all the skeletons and everything Like this is a fire hazard.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and then they, they see, like the hunter down on the ground, they're like, oh, he's just too drunk, it's like you're just going to leave him down here. It's like you, like he's on the floor and they're like, oh, what's this? You see this, this is adhesive, it's opening out, it's a fire hazard. And then, like they're about to go up and we get a little cut, to like Viego's, like we can't kill the police because it just more police show up. And then I think it's Deacon's like let's just what other safety stuff they have to say first, um, so then they have a trial for nick, um, and they call it. And then, like they start, it's like it's just like, if they call it, problems we have with nick and the first one is about stews.

Speaker 1

We're like, but we really like stews, we're just yeah, um, and so due to his crimes, he is banished indefinitely and he has to have the shame parade, um, and he's like, so I can come back. They're like, no, well, indefinitely doesn't mean forever. It's like, well, you can come back eventually. They're like, oh, so like a week or a month.

Speaker 2

He's like, no, not a week at least five months, and then he's like so they're gonna.

Speaker 1

Um, he's gonna be punished with the procession of shame. Like you got to get out of here. Like Stu, you can visit as much as you want, and so, essentially, the procession of shame is this he's walking, he's like shame yeah they're all circling him.

Speaker 2

Shame.

Speaker 1

And it's like very small and not a lot of like love and like gusto put in it. So then, to like love and like gusto put in it. So then it's, several months later they've got an invitation to the unholy masquerade at the church of despair yeah, and all the undead come vampires, zombies witches and banshees I love the zombie guy.

Speaker 2

He's like we have to keep for ourselves from like lifting our arms and going yeah it's almost like a version of like Colin Robinson.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's not like quite fully there, yet we learned that Viego went as from one and two one year every year they have a guest of honor, and Vlad thinks it will be him, but it isn't. It's just arch nemesis the beast. I wonder who the beastis, it's the beast. I wonder who the beast is going to be. So the beast is being built up as a crazy monster.

Speaker 2

He always has to fight. Yeah, they always keep showing the picture, the drawing of the monster.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's got like a penis on the chest, like three penises on the chest. It's got like chicken legs. It's wild. So, um Viego, he wants to go as blade, like you can't go as a vampire hunter, but he's also a vampire.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that's right, like half vampire yeah.

Speaker 1

He's a half, half blood breed. He's a day Walker day Walker, that's what they call him. So Vlad looks terrible from the stress. Um, he turns around and he's just like. He's like old, gray, like wrinkly skin, and he says he's not going. This is like, just leave me here to do my bidding, my dark bidding. What are you bidding on a table? So then Deacon and Diego arrive at the party. Jackie is there, and it turns out she's a vampire. Now, way to go, girl. We learn. Nick bit her.

Speaker 2

Just turning people willy nilly yeah.

Speaker 1

And Deacon is mad that he bit her servant. We see Stu came to the party. Oh no, not good. And then we finally meet the beast who's actually Vlad's ex Polly Love it. It's just like it's just some girl. We finally meet the beast who's actually Vlad's ex Polly Love it. It's just like it's just some girl. Yeah, it's just cute, yeah. So she's meeting everyone and she sees Stu and Viego, and then Viego lets out that Stu is a human.

Speaker 2

Dang it, Viego. He's trying to tell people that he's like a witch. Yeah.

Speaker 1

Because, like she shakes his hand, it's like oh, you're very warm, are you a demon? She's been like yes, I am, I am a demon. I'm a software analyst. Yeah, god, it's so good, it's really. I guess they turn like Stu and the zombie into Colin Robinson.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it was really funny whenever Stu was talking to the zombie and then the zombie's like so let me ask you a personal question are you pre-deceased? Yeah, he's pre-deceased, but then when Stu gets up, he like has the instinct to bring his arms up, but then he puts them down yeah, so good.

Speaker 1

So, like Jason said, everyone's kind of starting to figure out that Stu's a human. Uh, they try to get him out, but everybody knows now the beast confronts him, they all want to eat him and they worry he could be like a vampire hunter. So they just can't let him go. So they tell him to tell the room what he does, and then he just goes on and on about what he does. He's like a computer analyst and stuff. And then by the end of the speech the beast is like all right, you're definitely a virgin.

Speaker 2

And that one lady. He's like I can smell a virgin from a mile away. He's like shut up, go a mile away or a thousand feet away and smell yourself. Yeah, so good.

Speaker 1

So they're going to attack. So good, so they're going to attack. But Vlad shows up. The Beast's new boy toy confronts him and they start to fight.

Speaker 2

Well, she forgets who he is.

Speaker 1

He's like I'm your ex-lover, well because he comes in with a mask on and he's like don't you remember me? And she's like name someone else? And he's like no, that was five years before me. And then he goes to take off the mask. But he's having a hard time and the viego's like let me help.

Speaker 2

He's like, I got it, I got it, but he takes it off. And then he's like, and he takes a split second, and then he goes the dramatic effect, like, look at her, like the reveal, it's like me oh, it's so good.

Vampire Social Life and Clubs

Speaker 1

Beast, asshole, arsehole, don't call me asshole, don't call me beast. So, vlad, during the fight, he looks like he's going to die. It looks like the other vampire is like sucking his energy out, I guess. Then Stu impales him. Yeah, hell yeah, and then they run off. They celebrate Stu, stu, stu, stu, and then they smell off they celebrate Stu, stu, stu, stu. And then they smell werewolves. Uh-oh, we see that the wolves are chaining themselves to a tree. They're worried about the pants ripping, they're all so stupid.

Speaker 1

And then the one guy is like the alpha male is like hey, you see all the size of that tree. You know how big you get when you turn.

Speaker 2

That's a branch yeah.

Speaker 1

One guy's like oh, I forgot the combination. He's like why did you get a combination log? It's like because I lost my key. And then they see Vlad has a fur coat on. They're like man, that's really disrespectful. And then the moon comes out and they're all getting angry and upset and turning.

Speaker 2

They all look pretty silly, it's like quick, take off the clothes you want to keep.

Speaker 1

They're all trying to kill them all and they all turn into werewolves. They're all kind of silly, like very big, fluffy werewolves.

Speaker 2

But they're kind of horrifying. Yeah, they're like the way they film. It is horrifying.

Speaker 1

But it's also like the silhouette is kind of goofy at the same time. But, it's awesome. I fucking love werewolves, dude. So they get chased by them and have a fight.

Speaker 2

The cameraman gets eaten.

Speaker 1

And then we see Stu getting thrown around and eaten. Poor Stu RIP.

Speaker 2

Oh man. His body was like disemboweled and his face was eaten.

Speaker 1

Oh, it's great. Nick is sad and Deacon goes to console him. He tells him this is what happens as a vampire. You think the movie is going to cut to being real serious and sad. It's just something Taika likes to do in his movies. It's like this is what happens as a vampire you have to watch them die. Then he's like like humans die all the time you got like they'll be in a pile of leaves and then leaves blocking their windpipe you make a mascot of crackers and get attacked by geese, ducks and geese, he's got one.

Speaker 1

Uh, if I know stew, this was probably the way he wanted to go, disemboweled by werewolves, blood and guts splayed under the trees, his face torn to shreds and then like Deacon's, like I hope I could help, and Nyx is like, oh my god, so good. So then we see the cops we saw from earlier. They find Stu, who they think was attacked by dogs. They find a random dog.

Speaker 2

They find sue, who they think was attacked by dogs.

Speaker 1

They find a random dog, really cute dog it's like see, tomorrow we're going to cut down this dog. The dog, like, looks at the camera like oh sweet dog, and then he takes him over to sue.

Speaker 2

He's like, look what you did and then he's like, tries to get away a little bit. They're like, oh, he's trying to get back at it yeah, it's so funny.

Speaker 1

That bit alone it's one of the best bits. Oh, it's so good. So we cut to the gang. They're all very sad over the passing of. Stew. Viego says that vampires don't feel anything, but he says that he sometimes thinks that he does, and then we get like a shot of the picture of like stew, peter viego, deacon vlad nick, and it's just like for a second. I'm like damn, they had a family here. For a split second they had a family and then they throw the scarf in the river.

Speaker 2

Yeah, stu would have loved this scarf.

Speaker 1

But then it cuts to black and suddenly we hear a phone call from Nick, who is a surprise. Turns out Stu's alive baby. He didn't die. And then all of a sudden, the werewolf boys start coming in and we learn that he's a wolf.

Speaker 2

Now, yeah, we get the shitty reenactment like scene oh, of the FM jumping off the structure.

Speaker 1

It looks like old, like true crime, like series, like on true TV or something, where it's like just really shitty looking and it's great. It's like, yeah, next thing I knew I woke up and I was on a stretcher and then I stumbled out into the middle of the woods and I woke up and these guys gave me pants. It's great. So. And then the vampires and werewolves.

Speaker 2

I love how they're all naked too just standing there.

Speaker 1

They're all just standing there with no pants on, the vampires and wolves. They all start getting along. It's like we thought they were going to pee on everything.

Speaker 2

It's like don't lick anything, don't urinate on anything. But, it turns out that they're all pretty friendly.

Speaker 1

They all start shaking hands.

Speaker 2

Yeah, they're having a great time partying.

Speaker 1

They're like stew Everybody loves stew and because of that, we all love stew. Catherine and Viego are together now. Catherine is the that's the girl's name the 89-year-old, the 96-year-old. So they're together and he turned her into a vampire, viego. Some people freak out a bit about the age difference. They think what's this 96-year-old lady doing with a guy four times her age? They call me a coffin robber or something.

Speaker 2

A cradle robber Cradle, robber Right. I think he said cradle snatcher.

Speaker 1

Cradle snatcher, yeah, and so then that's pretty much the end of the movie. And then, through the credits, vlad got back with the Beast, and then he's like you see, whenever you get back with an ex it takes a minute. But then you realize why you broke up. And then we see Jackie who is giving a bunch of a list of things for her husband who is now familiar to do, like she says I love you, but I am your master. The leader of the wolves are messing with, like the other ones, cause it's like, you see, I love being the alpha here. See, if I start laughing, they all start laughing.

Speaker 1

And then I can mess with them and be like why are you laughing? He's like uh. And then they all start laughing and he's like now, why are you laughing? He's like uh, it's like they start laughing and then Stu's like. He's like why are you laughing, stu? It's like cause everybody else is laughing.

Speaker 2

It's like see he gets it.

Speaker 1

I'm the alpha male, yeah, male Male, yeah, I got it at the end. Um then, it's the end, except there's an scene.

Speaker 2

Oh, it's where deacon's like. You will forget everything you saw over the last hour and a half beautiful, perfect oh man, I just want to say this is a fucking five-star movie.

Speaker 1

Yeah, this is like everything I like in a less than 90 minute movie. It's perfect. It's straight good bits all so funny from beginning to end. Like this is a rare comedy that I watched while taking notes 7 30 am in the morning and was still laughing all the way through hell. Yeah, like a lot of the comedies we do, I don't like some of them. I don't have that reaction to right and I did, with this one, that amazing.

Speaker 2

I'm going to have to check out all of this guy's stuff, yeah.

Speaker 1

Hunt for the Wilder People is always on stuff that one's really funny.

Speaker 1

I don't know if Evil vs Sharks is on anything. I know his newest one, last Goal, or whatever something like that. It doesn't have great reviews, but I think it's on Hulu, whatever something like that. It doesn't have the great reviews, but I think it's on hulu. Have you ever seen jojo rabbit? No, oh shit, you're gonna love that one. That movie is jojo rabbit. Taiko atidi uh plays a boys version a. So you know, like nazis, um, they had like the thing where, like little kids were like in, like these little nazi, like nazi academies yeah stuff like that.

Speaker 1

So it's like from the perspective of that, a boy like in that and so, like his um, he kind of has like a imaginary friend that's taika watiti as hitler, and so, you know, taika's doing like, he's kind of like flamboyant type of like silly goofiness and it's really funny. But it's like um and like, of course, obnoxiously, people like around that time were like oh, it's like this isn't like we shouldn't do this, portray a character like this. But then like, if you actually fucking watch the movie and have a brain, yeah, you realize that it's all satire as the kid like starts to see, like the like, how bad nazis are and like, oh, this is all shitty and stuff.

Speaker 1

like the imaginary character of hitler like becomes more and more kind of like mean, and like he's starting to see what hitler actually is, not like a friendly guy but, like you know, a and it just seems like the entire fucking world didn't understand, like people on the internet didn't understand it.

Speaker 2

I just I hate the internet Because they never tried.

Speaker 1

Like there's just so many shows have come out and people have bad takes on the internet. Yeah, and I'm just getting sick of it and I haven't been looking at my phone anymore. I just Just got to take a break. It's like, think about it and don't go on the internet and talk about it. Talk about it with your friends or wife or husband.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

And this is why I don't have a negative podcast. I have a positive podcast because I want to talk about how much things I like, yay.

Speaker 1

Anyways let's talk about the good, the bad, the ugly, which is our first category. It's where we discuss the good of a film, something we like, the bad, something we didn't like. The ugly, something that didn't age well, the fine, something that did age well. My good is Taika Fucking White TV baby and Tremaine Clement. Just kind of it's the whole movie Concept idea. It's all Five out of five yeah, I love 10.

Speaker 2

Whatever you want, I think mine would be just. Anytime you can subvert expectation. Uh, and taika does it so well? Yeah, and just the idea that vampires are just silly and stupid vampires are people too, you know.

Speaker 1

It's like our vampires, like one of us they're not all I mean they are.

Speaker 2

They are monsters, yeah, like they're also have feelings.

Speaker 1

I meant to ask you this at the beginning, so, like, if you had the choice, if, like, someone came up to you and was like I'm a vampire, would you want to become a vampire? Would you say yes or no? Yeah, fuck, yeah, man. Yeah, I would, too, no problem hypnotize people and shit. Let's go. Oh, be easy, be easy. I fucking hate.

Speaker 2

You know what I?

Speaker 1

hate Fucking sunlight dude. Yeah, I would love to be. It's the worst. I love staying up as late as possible. Nighttime is the right time. Just like and you know like I don't think you like feel pain or anything as a vampire. You like heal and become like the perfect version of yourself, essentially oh, that'd be so nice if you can still be horny yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I mean all the vampires I've ever seen vampires are hell of a horny dude vampires always bone in. I would be sad about not being able to eat french fries, but I would just, I'm sure I get over it.

Speaker 1

I would just go somewhere where people are eating french fries, and then I'd, you'd eat them after they eat the french fries.

Speaker 2

Just a little salty.

Speaker 1

I do love wine. That would be the worst part. I guess they can, they can they can drink drunk blood. Yeah, they have to drink a drunk guy's blood. Fucking rules alright. So would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire?

Speaker 2

interesting.

Speaker 1

I like werewolves more in like cinema, yeah, but I'd rather be a vampire I feel like vampires have more self-control because you don't get to have fun as a werewolf.

Speaker 2

You're just constantly stressed out about being aware of yeah about the next time you change into a werewolf and murder everyone?

Speaker 1

yeah, it's got to be stressful. It's got to go to like live in alaska when it's like daytime all the time. All right, I just meant to ask you that at the beginning, but now it's at the end, so, uh, for the bad, I got nothing, and I mean fucking nothing no, I don't either.

Speaker 2

No, no ugly, either I don't yeah for the nothing.

Speaker 1

I said. I got nothing and I mean nothing. It's all great, it was my only ugly is that, like after Thor, love and Thunder, people were kind of be like do we have too much Taika Waititi, and what I say to that is you have that opinion. You can keep, keep listening, but shame on you.

Speaker 2

Shame on you, shame on you. I liked Love. We're going to do this procession of shame, shame.

Speaker 1

Shame and the Fine. It spawned a fantastic show and it really helped boost Taika Waititi's career. Fuck yeah, man, One of my favorite directors.

Speaker 2

So Badass, yeah, got anything. I love New Zealanders, oh yeah, all New, zealanders, yeah.

Speaker 1

And the fact that they didn't think this movie was funny enough makes me think there's funnier shit down there there could be and you know honestly, it could be one of those things where you know, maybe in New Zealand they're like this is just how we are this is like the comedy we always see, so maybe it's not special, and then he brought it over here and it's like super special. Maybe they're all vampires.

Speaker 2

Maybe New Zealand doesn't like vampires, you know. Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1

I don't know.

Speaker 2

You never really see cultures that are so anti-vampire. Yeah, you really don't Like New.

Speaker 1

Zealand. Fuck you New. Zealand. Actually, it seems like a really nice place.

Speaker 2

It seems like a really nice place, I don't want to go there.

Speaker 1

There's like no animals there that kill you, but they do have a drug problem, like everywhere.

Speaker 2

Nah, and they always get video game releases first, because I guess the time zones start in New Zealand. They're like the first ones.

Speaker 1

Oh, hell, yeah. Well, what are we doing here? It also had there's this dope show that's on hulu. Uh, that the director, what's her fucking name? Jane champion? Um, she did like the piano. Uh, bright star. Uh, the power of the dog that had benedict cumberbatch recently she just recently won a uh oscar for that movie.

She's from new zealand, so sam neill from jurassic park, by the way, nice uh, but it's a really good like kind of like murder mystery, like lost child. That's cool show. It's got Elizabeth Moss in it from Handmaid's Tale. Y'all should check that out. But for my double feature, which is the category.

Speaker 1

We're actually about to start doing now I chose the movie Hunt for the Wilder People it's got Sam. Neill in it. It's got the kid from Deadpool 2. For anybody that doesn't like because I don't think if I said his name anybody would know it's like julian dennison, sure? Um, it's just a really fun, you know it's. It's fucking taika. You're like taika, you're gonna like it.

Speaker 2

It's probably a movie no one really ever talks about, and you know, there's like not a lot of opinions or anything about this film out there, so we'd love to give our first opinion.

Speaker 2

Some people say it's more of a documentary.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you know, we just so we're going to cover that. I hear it's about like sword fighting and rolling trash cans in a desert. It seems like a, like a real dreamy indie film that I can't wait to see.
