Welcome And First Impressions

SPEAKER_02 0:04

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. And I'm Jason. Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun. Cause this week we recommend Army of Darkness.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Yeah, Mike makes right.

SPEAKER_02 0:32

So, what did you think?

SPEAKER_00 0:36

You know, I got I was really confused at like how he reloads his shotgun so fast. But then you hear about that that guy with no arms or legs that shot his passenger while driving. So I'm like, you know what? People can do anything. People can do whatever they want.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

So what do you I want to know? Is this the first time you watched it?

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Yeah. Wow. I cannot believe this is the first time you watched it. It was fucking looney tunes.

SPEAKER_02 1:03

I know. It's great. Sam Raimi loves slapstick comedy. Just loves it. Oh. So when he first started, were you like, God damn it, are we going back to the same cabin again? Are we just gonna and then you're like, oh, okay. No, we're not doing that. That's nice. I just it's something that just feels so special to me that they just kind of keep going back to that cabin all three movies. It's so fun. Um, so do you kind of prefer this over Evil Dead 1 and 2?

SPEAKER_01 1:34

Or do you kind of prefer the cabin in the woods?

SPEAKER_00 1:38

I don't know. I mean, this one I I could I think I I I think I don't know. I can't. It's hard. I can't. I don't I can't understand this movie very much. It's so crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:53

I think it was this um Raimi just wanted to do something different. You know, freaking hilarious. He got the budget and was like, let's go. I want to make a Lord of the Rings-esque Evil Dead movie, and that's what they did, and it's amazing.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

Yeah, that is true. I liked it. I liked it a lot.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

Uh yeah, like let's talk about that final battle a little bit. How good was that? Like all the little skeletons running. You got evil as voices? Yeah, it's so good. It's like Helm's Deep, but with skeletons. Anyway, he got his car. Yeah. It's wild. And it's it's you know, like thinking about Lord of the Rings and like how long those movies are. And then it's like, Army of Darkness just did it an hour and 25 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 2:43

It's wild. I think the fellowship could have used like an Oldsmobile.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

It really could boy, Roto's feet wouldn't be nearly as tired. They get to Helm's Deep pretty quick. During second breakfast, they'd get Helm's Deep. Or not Helm's Deep. Wherever the Mount Doom or whatever it's called. Yeah. But yeah, just when I was watching the final, and it's just when it's the wide shots and you have all the like the um stop motion animated creatures. I'm like, God, so much love and detail went into this movie, and it's insane. And the world didn't.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

Why were the skeletons exploding?

SPEAKER_02 3:22

I don't know. That's just what skeletons do. I'm assuming it's like when evil dies, it just explodes. It's the only thing I can think of. Because that's usually what happens in movies.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

And their skeletons, why are they even hurt that badly by arrows? And they're like, ow! They explode.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

And I I'm assuming that's why they purposely made some that had a little bit of flesh. I guess.

Why Audiences Were Not Ready

SPEAKER_02 3:48

So this um I guess my next question is um this movie didn't do well at the boss like this. So I can't imagine why. Why does the world suck? Why is that how it is? They just weren't ready. I mean, I guess people were like, oh, evil dead, hell yeah. Let's get into it. And then they're like, wait, what the hell is this? Because it had like an estimated budget of 11 million and only gross like a little over 11 million, so it did not make its money back, most likely. If that budget doesn't include uh promotion. And I just don't know what people want. If this isn't enough, I don't know how to. No, but I could definitely tell see just people being like, oh hell yeah, Ash, find some more demon zombie thingies. And then they go there, like, what is this? This is a pure comedy. I'm like, that's so what's the second one? But I mean, even like the little guys, the little ashes, I mean, it's like the most creative movie ever. They're awesome. Low budget horror directors are the best. And then when they get the budget, they're like, we can still do this. It's like, we got this. It's like with John Carpenter, you know, all these low budget movies, and then you have the thing. The thing didn't even do that well during the box office. So it's just like, what the fuck are we doing here? What were people doing back in the day, Jason? They didn't have their phones or TikTok. Go watch all the movies and theaters. It was a nickel back then.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

Yeah, man. I remember it used to be like seven dollars.

SPEAKER_02 5:20

Uh yeah. I think uh it was like $80 to take me, my wife, and my mom to go see Project Hail Mary.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Oh man, it's like trying to take the kids to watch a movie. It's like a whole fucking paycheck. Yeah. Well, I guess that was actually like $45.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

But that's matinee.

SPEAKER_00 5:37

With popcorn.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

Oh, with popcorn. Jeez. I was like, mom, we're sharing the popcorn between the three of us. You get a small soda, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

I started bringing in a backpack full of snacks.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Yeah. I just love movie theater popcorn. I know, it is a lot better. Oh, we get the we get the popcorn, the cookie dough bites, and a soda. And it's like salt and sugar, and then afterwards we're like, we're so hungry, but we also have tummy aches.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Oh, yeah, you gotta get a tummy ache from all the corn.

SPEAKER_01 6:05

Yeah, all the carn. The carn.

Movie Tickets Popcorn And Regret

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Um, so uh Bruce Campbell.

SPEAKER_02 6:12

He's the king, right? He's the best. Long live the king. He's so good in this movie. He's he's like the funniest guy ever.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

And uh Yeah, he's amazing, and he's like the best representative for SMART.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

Yeah, exactly. He fucking loves SMART. Yeah, it's just like too bad it's not a real place. It's like now if you made this movie, it would be like sponsored by something. It'd be like Target. You can get this gun at Target along with his fancy stuff. Or if Michael Bay made this movie, that's what it would be because he loves to have sponsorships in his movies. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:50

Um, but yeah, love Bruce Campbell.

SPEAKER_02 6:53

He's it's wild how uncool he is and cool at the same time. Like he's you hear him talk and you're like, you're so cool. And then he's like tripping for five straight minutes and he's like the goofiest ass person ever. And but then he gets up and he's like, I'm the guy with a gun.

SPEAKER_03 7:09

It's like you are yes, you are.

SPEAKER_02 7:13

Oh it's like I just wish, you know, like I had my ash that I could just throw in movies and beat up. Which, um, speaking of beating up Bruce Campbell, let's get into some facts. So during the scene where Ash is being pelted with rocks, fake rocks were used to get a more realistic reaction out of Bruce Campbell, and partially as a prank, director Sam Raimi pelted him with potatoes. Oh this cut was used. Raimi also told the special effects people to make the fight choreography as difficult as possible for Campbell, make him go through torture. Raimi says, since he had to memorize his complex set of moves against invisible enemies that would later be added in post-production, Campbell would be cussing and swearing to keep up and sometimes take 37 takes to get it right. Oh shit. It's like Sam Raimi literally spent his entire life beating up Bruce Campbell. It's so good. Um, so in the original draft, Ash lost an eye. The draft didn't go into medieval times until the second half, with the first half serving as a big budget recap of both Evil Dead one and two.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

I'm glad that they took that off.

SPEAKER_02 8:18

I wish we added 30 more minutes. Put that in. I'm down for it. It also would have shown more about Ash's personal life, such as college and working at SMART. The Raimys didn't think Universal would fund a sequel to a low budget indie film and planned to make it as a standalone partial remake on Universal Grinlit, a straightforward Evil Dead sequel, The Raymys decided to scrap nearly anything involving the original Captain of the Woods, aside from the brief prologue. So it's like, oh shit, they're gonna fund this whole thing? Well, we're just gonna make what we want, baby.

Bruce Campbell Gets Brutalized

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Um so there was a lot of there's like five different cuts of this movie. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 8:55

It's like theatrical director, and then like two other cuts that are like different. The Snyder Cut. Yeah, the Snyder Cut. It's uh 16 hours long and in black and white. Oh god. And every song in it is a very slow cover of a really good song. So ideas for a third Evil Dead movie were originally around since Evil Dead 2 had been released, and even before Sam Raimi started working on Darkman, which I don't know if you've seen that, Darkman. It's like a superhero movie where the guy gets burned and he has to wear uh bandages. Scott Liam Neeson, it rolls, bro. It's so good. Producer Dino DeLornitis, I can't say that last name, was already on board due to the success of Evil Dead 2. And when Darkman became a hit, Universal Pictures, who had a deal with uh his company, also stepped in to supply half of the $12 million budget. Raimi originally wanted to call the third film The Medieval Dead, which is a way better title.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

That is fucking cool.

SPEAKER_02 9:56

It's the best title. But Universal's like, nah, um, our suits are on too tight and we suck. Um he then suggested the title Evil Dead 3, Army of Darkness, after an idea by Irvin Shapiro, who died two years before the third film was made, as executive producer of Evil Dead 2, Shapiro had suggested Evil Dead 2, Evil Dead, and the Army of Darkness. When that film was originally supposed to take place in medieval times, he had previously come up with Evil Dead instead of the original Book of the Dead. Studio wanted to film the stand on its own from the rest of the series, so it was just titled Army of Darkness. The film is called Army of Darkness, The Medieval Dead, or it's UK release. I mean, the Medieval Dead is just the perfect title. And like, we just don't get to have things in this world, is what I've realized. Um and uh Bruce Campbell was displeased with the studio, delaying the film's release from summer 1992 to February 1993, which is a crazy amount of time between pushing the film back and its re-editing of it. There were issues because the studio was unwilling to pay an additional three million to finish the movie, and they were using the film as leverage in conflict with producer uh Laurentis. I don't know how there's like two eyes next to each other. I don't know how I pronounce that. Over over the rights to the character of Hannibal Lecter from Silence and Lambs, Campbell stated that he wasted a year of his life waiting for the film to get released to cinemas. Um, it was released in Japan as Captain Supermarket. What? That's amazing. They also that was also a better title. Captain S Mart. Alright, so here's all the uh different versions of it. So the film is infamous for having four different versions: an 81-minute US theatrical version, an 88-minute international version, a 96-minute director's cut, and an 88-minute US TV version. Each includes or omits certain deleted extended scenes as well as scenes that were re-edited in different order, depending on what version the viewer wanted. It's like, what? What are we gonna do with all these extra minutes? Completely just like reorganized the movie. That's insane. Part of this reason was that the MPAA gave Sam Raimi's director's cut an NC17 rating. And I'm like, It's not even that gory. It's like goofy, right? His subsequent recuts led to the international version that still received an R rating. After that, the studio handed the film over to outside film editors who recut the movie to the theatrical version with the aim of a PG-13 rating to no avail. The director's cut is the most complete version and contains the bad ending, whereas the US TV version contains two deleted scenes not included in any other version. Many more versions have since been released on DVD and Blu-ray, some with a director's cut, but including the happy ending and Hong Kong R3 edit that cuts the US international cut, director's cut together. R4, all four original versions have been compiled in a box screen factory set that was released both in the US and Germany. That's insane. Guys, just make the movie and cut it, alright? Let's just do it. I just don't see what would be the NC17 about it.

SPEAKER_00 13:05

That was one of one of my complaints about it. It was just not enough um blood and guts.

SPEAKER_02 13:10

Like, no, no blood.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

There's hardly any. Like when he shoots the deadites with uh with the shotgun, there's not there's like nothing.

SPEAKER_02 13:17

I mean, compared to the first two where it's just literally buckets of blood being thrown on Ash like every second, and this there's nothing in this. It's it's weird. Um so the bad ending that I said, so that's the version they wanted.

Cuts Ratings And Studio Chaos

SPEAKER_02 13:30

Um essentially, you know how it just kind of they're like, all right, get out of here, and he's like back at S Mart, like immediately. Yeah. Well, this one he goes, they take his car to a cave, he goes in, he's gotta say, like uh another like spell saying that he can't remember and go right. And then when he wakes up, it's like way into the future, and it looks like he's like in London or something. I can't remember what it is, and everything's destroyed. It's post-apocalyptic. Nice. So it's supposed to be, and then the fourth movie was gonna be um a post-apocalyptic, evil dead, and there was gonna be like Deadeye robots and stuff like that. Fuck yeah. Yeah, which they eventually got to uh in the show. Like they ended they ended on expecting to do that for the next season, and then it got cancelled, so Sam Raimi has never gotten to do his uh Ash versus uh future Dead Eyes. And it's like once again, we do not get the things that we deserve to get in this world.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

We need someone to take up the mantle.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:34

Complete the dream.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

This is so but such a bummer. It's yeah, so like the third season was supposed to end it ended on a cliffhanger with Ash waking up. I you know what? Actually, I kind of like that that we're constantly being teased to get it and we're just never gonna get it. We're like, maybe that's actually just kind of a good bit, actually.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

Maybe somebody will win maybe it will be rebuted rebuted someday. Yeah, just like shoot, don't think.

SPEAKER_02 15:02

Yeah, I mean, and you know, Bruce Campbell has cancer now, sadly. So oh yeah, you didn't know it, and it's like it's uh not curable, but it is but it is treatable, so he's essentially he's eventually probably gonna die. Um so he wouldn't be able to be in the movie, so I'm sure Sam Raimi's just like nah, we're not gonna do it. But you know, out of like a tribute to him, you could put like replace him with like Jack Black. No, no, please don't. Honestly, I was kind of thinking, you know who could do that? I was thinking Ryan Gosling is very funny. I watched Project Hill Mary recently, and he's very funny in it. Um and I think he and he's got like this he can be cool but also goofy, and he's weird. I don't know if he's got the chin for it. Well, yeah, nobody can do it if we're going based off gins. It's over. There's no way. But that's like the only person that I would probably be like, yeah, I'd watch it if they did it with Ryan Gosling. He'd crush it. That would be pretty good. He's kind of psycho in his head too, a little bit, I feel like. Um, oh, I did watch uh the new anaconda. Nice, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

It's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 16:15

My review of the movie is a lot of ideas not put together very well. It's just there the whole B plot of the movie, I'm like, what are why did we add that? It literally did nothing. I know. Except for the fact that they start filming like the girl that's a part of the B plot, and she kind of gets into the fact of being an actor, and I'm like, well, this is hilarious, but then they immediately destroy that scenario, and I'm like, huh? Why didn't you just make like the B part just being like flashing back to when there were kids since like the whole ending and climactic part of the movie is like hit Paul Rudd thinking of when he was a kid, and I'm like, I felt nothing with that. Not on my wild. Why didn't you have more of that in the movie? Um, Anaconda. It's funny. There are funny parts, but I'm just like, what are we doing? This is weird.

SPEAKER_00 17:06

But he throws the snake into the engine into the movie. Yeah, that was that was probably like the best part.

SPEAKER_02 17:14

We need to do the original Anaconda stuff. That movie rips. Alright, we're gonna get into the plot of Army of Darkness.

Plot Setup Medieval Mayhem Begins

SPEAKER_02 17:24

Uh, we want you to think what the point of the movie is. Good luck. It's to have fun. So spoilers for the point. Um, but if you want to leave us some fan mail, link in the description at the top. You click it, you can text us from our phone. At the bottom is our email where you can send us fan mail. We recommend emailback at gmail.com. Uh thank you. And let's get into 1992's Army of Darkness. I was one year old. Oh, 92. Uh huh. Yeah. I just popped right on out and was like, give me the army. I was eight.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Yeah, I guess I guess I was one like five months old. I didn't realize you were eight years older than me. Where are you? Are you in your 40s? I was eighty-four.

SPEAKER_02 18:12

Yeah, I was I'm 41 now. Oh, I didn't know that. You know, I feel like the last time you told me your age was at the beginning of the podcast, so it makes sense that you're not in your 30s anymore. Since it's been almost four. Ooh, we're actually coming up on our how many how long have we been doing this? Two years? No, way longer.

SPEAKER_01 18:28

I think we're like three or four. We're about to hit our year four, I think. I don't know. Wow. We need to do something special. Yeah. Like you guys should like and subscribe.

SPEAKER_02 18:40

People are like, we're gonna shut this off if you don't start. Alright, Army of Darkness, 1990, 1992, picking up where Evil Dead 2 left off. Ash narrates how he and his girlfriend Linda, played by Bridget Fonda, who's great. Um, and will later be in the uh Sam Raimi movie Simple Plan, which is another fantastic movie. Sam Raimi turns out good director. Um, so both supermarket clerks at an S. Mart retail store went for a vacation in the woods in Old Cabin. They discovered the book Necronomicon Ex Mortis, or Book of the Dead. And upon reading it, unleashed demonic forces as detailed in the previous films, The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. After reading a spell to defeat the demons, Ash is sucked into the time vortex with his ultimate bill and is transported back to medieval times. It's great. It's great. Um, yeah, and I love that we as soon as we start and he gets in medieval times, is like nothing like how the second one ended. Because they're all like, he's gonna save us. And in this one, they're like, Come here. We're taking you in.

SPEAKER_00 19:46

I love how the the knights were hitting the car with their small.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

What armor is this? It's impenetrable. It's okay. Um, so Ash is believed to be on Duke Henry, one of Duke Henry's men, a Scot at war with the English knights. A priest believes that he may be the one to defeat the deadites that he read about in the Noc Neck Necronomicon. But he is chained up with the other prisoners at war. He's taken to the Englishman's castle where he meets Sheila. What a great name. Sheila. Oh, look at that Sheila there. Who has found out her brother has been killed by the Duke's men. After some kids are done beating up Ash, he goes up and spits on him, pulls his hair, calls him a slut. I know she goes, come here. She's like, I love it. Then all the little kids like it's just immediately so much fun. It's just like immediately the best.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

It's funnier knowing that this is the director's goal in life is just to beat this. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

It's good. I get to see at Bruce Campbell's funeral. Sam Raimi comes up and starts smacking over the face. Come here, bitch. Wake up. Like you some more. But he'll never die. He'll live on on our movie screens. Forever. Father, son, house of Gucci, baby. So he's we meet Henry the Red, who is curious who Ash is. Ash says he ain't leading anybody but Jack and shit, and Jack left town. Such a good line. You ain't leading anybody but Jack and shit and Jack left town. The prisoners are thrown into a pit on the orders of Lord Arthur, who says that they are tired of dealing with them and the evils of the land. Henry the Red said they attacked first and are dealing with the same evil. It's like, come on, guys, we gotta fight together. The blood geyser was hilarious. Yeah. And then like he gets thrown down there, and it's like, there's just like two little monsters. It's like what caused the blood.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

It was some kind of blunder.

SPEAKER_02 21:52

Yeah. That would be rad. So a prisoner is thrown to the pit and explodes with blood. Explodes. I can't talk. Ashes. Next, but he pleads that he doesn't know Henry. Sheila throws a rocket ash and he falls into the pit. Sheila's ruthless, dude.

SPEAKER_00 22:07

She's so mad.

SPEAKER_02 22:08

And in the pit, a dead out rises out of the water and starts repeatedly punching him in the face and doing backflips. Oh, I love it. I just love that all the creatures are like, what are their powers? Punching and scratching and just prodding him. Instead of actually ever trying to kill him, it's always just like, I'm just gonna hurt you a lot. And then everybody else dies immediately. Ash gets tortured. He's too strong. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

His bones are tough.

SPEAKER_02 22:36

Lord Arthur then orders his men to use wall spikes on him. The priest yells to Ash, uh Ash, the strange one, to use his weapons. He throws down the chainsaw and cuts the Jedi in half. Yes. It's so good. Um, another creature emerges and he's like a deformed little creature. Uh he fights him off and uses his belt to try to escape. He narrowly escapes the spikes. Your shoelaces are untied and punch it. Then punches Archer Arthur. It's like, what are you talking about? Didn't have shoelaces. Did they have shoelaces back then?

SPEAKER_00 23:07

Uh I mean, no. I don't think he. I mean, they just had boots. They did have laces. They had the lace up there like. Oh, that's true. The leather and stuff, but not.

SPEAKER_02 23:17

If you're from medieval medieval times, leave us some fan mail on whether or not you had shoelaces. So he uh frees Henry and his men. Everybody just gives up. They're like, ah, he wins. Yeah, he owns the castle.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

He's like, let him go.

SPEAKER_02 23:32

We're like, all right. They're like, well, his dick is bigger than ours. Uh you and Ash you win. What I mean at that point, I guess they're just like, he has stuff that uses gasoline, which we don't know about yet. And his gun goes, yeah, his boomstick. His arrow, weird arrow shooting device explodes. It's weird. Um, Arthur regains his composer, decides to fight Ash, but Ash has his boomstick. Shop smart. SMART. He threatens them to not lay a finger on him and wants them to find out how to get back home.

SPEAKER_00 24:11

Yeah, that was funny.

SPEAKER_02 24:13

Who wants some? Everybody. And it's iconic. He like raises it up and it's just like, How are you so cool, Bruce Campbell? How are you so cool? It's like he nobody wears a denim like button-up better than him. I have many times. You have denim button-ups? I have had twice. And I do not look good in them. I'm too skinny. I feel like I'm too skinny for them. I used to, especially like when I was in high school, because I had like this whole like 70s vibe going. Nice. Like super like long hair, b like band shirts, like Sled Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. No, I couldn't grow a facial hair now. Um and then I'd try to wear it and I'm just like, I don't look good in it. Then I was like, I don't look good in any of my clothes. Just wasn't your time. I didn't gloat up yet. So Ash is now living a life of luxury, being fed grapes and being fanned.

SPEAKER_00 25:07

That is so gross. But I mean, that's why everybody ate hair.

SPEAKER_02 25:10

Hey, I mean he goes, I mean, this is so Ash though. Just like surrounded by ladies. Hey, baby. Um, Sheila apologizes, like, hey, you remember that time I spit in your mouth and your eyes and your ears, and then I slapped you and it's pulled your hair. It's like, he's like, Don't worry, baby, you'll be doing that again soon. The priest says that he has to get the Necronomicon or the whole country will be turned evil. Ash doesn't care though and just wants to go back home. Then an old woman turns into a dead eye, and it rules. And Ash makes quick work of her, though, then changes his mind and wants to find the book. They strap him with a new medieval hand. That was fun. Groovy. Groovy. He crushes the cup. Yeah. It's just like, uh, I love a nice little like it's like a lock and load, except it's his hand instead of a gun or something, and it's great.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

It's just what a good idea. He could have put I feel like he should have had more attachments for it.

SPEAKER_02 26:08

Yeah, like uh you can take, like you can put like, you know, take it off and then just put like his gun on it that you can use. I mean maybe that's what the future one was gonna be. Oh, hell yeah. He like it starts off with he has the medieval hand, but then both his hands get chopped off, and he's like, what am I gonna do now? And then like they just put an attachment with a chainsaw on one hand and an attachment with a gun on the other. Yes. I just wrote your movie. You're welcome. Give me money.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

All the hard work is done. I went, we just need filler.

SPEAKER_02 26:39

I studied film, so I should be able to make that movie. Give me budget. Ryan Gosling, are you free? Um, so Sheila talks to Ash. Ash says he is only helping to get back home. Sheila made him a robe, but Ash is rude, and Sheila slaps him. Then he grabs her, undoes her hair, and says, Give me some sugar, baby. Give me some sugar, baby. It's like, what? It's like very classic old Hollywood, which is something Sam Raimi loves, you know, that like, ah, you're a piece of shit. I hate you, bitch. She slaps him, it's like, let's make love.

SPEAKER_00 27:14

And it's like it's the only way to quiet an outspoken woman is to kiss her.

SPEAKER_02 27:19

It's just such a classic, like, 50s Hollywood and like all the old uh ne like noir movies. It's just like, shut up, stop being mean to me, woman. Give me a kiss, let's make love. Who started this fireplace? Didn't even know you had one. Let's have sex in front of it. So he is off. Off. Ash starts his search for the book, which is located in a cemetery not

Tiny Ashes And The Magic Words

SPEAKER_02 27:43

far away. The priest tells him he must recite an incantation to receive the book. Claw to varata nicto.

SPEAKER_03 27:50

Yeah, he's like, okay, I got it. Yeah, I got it.

SPEAKER_02 27:52

Shut the fuck off, all right? You think I'm an idiot? I can't remember three simple words. And he seems super sure he knows it. So entering a haunted forest, an unseen force, evil wind essentially is back.

SPEAKER_00 28:06

Yeah, what the hell? And it was so close, you think like then they cut away his shots. He's like further away. Yeah, you can't even see what's behind him.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

It's classic. Yeah, it's uh it's like the first two. It's like just the evil wind is what I like to call it. Yeah. Um, it's like it's essentially what is happening in the happening. But it you just don't get the perspective of the wind at the trees. Trying to kill everyone. This is just a bitter happening. Um, so uh Ash, yeah, so it's following him through the forest, fleeing. Ash s ducks into a windmill to hide. He sees himself in a mirror and destroys it, shattering it. He's like, I know what mirrors do in this universe. I know that's exactly what I thought. You're like, nothing bad will happen if I destroy it.

SPEAKER_00 28:51

I just thought, did he was he just being an idiot and smashing a mirror, or did he know that the mirror was gonna become a copy of himself?

SPEAKER_02 28:59

Previous Evil Dead movies, like uh uh Ash comes out of the mirror and starts beating him up, and then he has to like fight the mirror. I know how this ends. So um then all his small reflections of Ash climb out of the shards of the mirror and torment him. They ram him with a gun, fire at him, trip him, uh, spike his foot with the nail, which is the most painful of all of them. He is then tied up like Gulliver Stravels. Oh yeah. You can't have a giant and some small people and not tie somebody up.

SPEAKER_00 29:30

I know it was great when he skewered him with that fork. Yeah, it's like, oh, it's so good.

SPEAKER_02 29:35

Um, and one of the reflections dives down Ash's throat and and uses his body to become a life-size copy of Ash. We'll see soon. But I love that after he jumps in, only like drinks the steaming.

SPEAKER_00 29:46

Like, what the f you can hear it scream it out of his belly.

SPEAKER_02 29:51

Oh, but and then this is where, like, with this, um, like the two deadites were great at the beginning, of course. But once we get here, this is where it's like, hell yeah. We're we're cooking here. Sam Raimi's got ideas and he's putting them all in this movie, and it's gonna be fantastic. All the little ash is fantastic, it looks great. Now it would just be like shitty CGI versions, and it would just look like muddy and stupid. But like, it's this hilarious, it's great, and then he dives down his throat, and then he runs outside, and then he's like starting to like kind of resident evil. It's like I don't know how you shoulder eye what you call that. Uh like when two cells like oh yeah, metamorphic. Yeah, it's essentially that. And then I love like the moons out, and then they go, oh essentially, and it's great. Oh, and then they're like, they're running, then he starts kind of crab walking down down like the hill, and it just it's it's everything. It's everything, it's so good. And it looks there is like a little jankiness to it, but that's what just makes it better. Yeah, just makes it better, and then he fully like pops out, and it's like it's like, what the hell? He's like, I'm bad, Ash. You're good, Ash. Goody little two shoes, goodie little two shoes. After which, uh Ash shoots him, chains him up, cuts him up, and buries him. Evil Ash says he will come back for him.

SPEAKER_00 31:15

You got something on your face.

SPEAKER_02 31:17

Yeah. Good, bad. I'm the one with the gun. Um, and I love how it starts, you just see like a giant eye on his shoulder, and he's like, oh my god. And I'm like, this is rad. So good.

SPEAKER_00 31:31

That's what made me think of uh Resident Evil. Yeah. They do that quite a lot.

SPEAKER_02 31:34

Oh, I know. Which I mean, it could be like a big inspiration since you know they all love like Western media, and there's a lot of inspirations from those. So when he arrives at the Nebrocon Necronomicons location, he finds three books instead of one. Two of the books are cursed, um, and uh Yeah. One sucks him in it and he has to climb out. He's got a weird long face situation.

SPEAKER_00 31:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:00

It's great. And it looks amazing. And it's like, how do they do this shit without CGI? It's like it's insane. It's great. The amount of craft in this movie is so exciting.

unknown 32:10

Ah.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

Uh the second one bites his hand, flies up, and bites him all around. And then he gets his. Yeah. He really gets abused in this movie. It's like if Bruce Campbell was like, I'm actually suing you, Sam Raimi, after this movie.

SPEAKER_00 32:28

Yeah, I wonder if he told him what was gonna happen in the scene. I mean, you kind of have to, right? He's like, Yeah, oh, in this next scene, you're gonna get the shit kicked out of you by a book.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

Yeah, and he's like, Alright, so I've already gotten beat up by little me. Ruby. And after determining which is the real one, it's like, ah, so this is obviously the right one. That's just that's just classic shit. That would happen to me, be like, there's three options. I picked the last that could have been the last one.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

I know. What if Indiana Jones would have picked the wrong cup at first? Like, damn it.

SPEAKER_02 33:03

Um, and after determining which one is the real one, Ash attempts to say the magic phrase that will allow him to remove the book safety.

SPEAKER_00 33:09

Necktie.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

Klaatu, verata, necktie. Klatu, verata. Like there, I said it. It has been said. Um, so because he cannot remember the last word, honestly, the easiest word out of all of them to say. He tries to trick the book by mumbling missing words. He then grabs the book from the cradle and rushes back to the castle while the dead rise from the graves all around him. And it's just a bunch of skeletons popping their arms out and grabbing him, poking his eyes, poking his nose, putting his entire stages, entire hand in his mouth. He like breaks one hand off, he's like, ah, I did it. And then the one just trips him immediately. Oh, it's so good. And but he finally gets away, and I love it, and they pop their heads out, and they're like, There's something like every skeleton in a movie that comes to life can only have like in my head, just have one voice. Ah Hey, what you talking about? I'm a skeleton. And I don't know why. They just all have like that weird voice to do it. Well, they they have to. So he during Ash panicked, rides back to the town. Ash Ash's evil copy rises from the grave and unites the deadites into an army of darkness.

SPEAKER_03 34:38

I live again.

SPEAKER_02 34:39

Yes, it's so good. Um, he returns to the castle, everyone is cheering him on. Get the fuck out of my face. I was like, shit, I forgot they said the fuck. I said, fuck it, this baby. It's just it's such a great, just great line, just how like serious he is. It's he delivers the line great. It's like when you're just not in the mood and someone's like, hey, hey, you want to talk to me? And all you want to say is get the fuck out of my face.

unknown 35:05

Perfect.

SPEAKER_00 35:08

I'll just done he is with all this bullshit.

SPEAKER_02 35:11

Jesus Christ, we're gone through three straight movies of this. So uh despite causing the predicament faced by the medieval soul so initially demands to be returned to his own time. The priest gets pissed and tells Ash that because he didn't say the phrase, the evil will come to get the book

Army Of Darkness Final Battle

SPEAKER_02 35:27

back. Lord Arthur, um I don't know if I'd want to go back to working at Smark. I don't know. He's the man loves his job, Jason. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:36

This is what it's like to like your job. Like a Hank Hill of the propane accessories.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

Propane and propane accessories. Um Lord Arthur says they will honor their word because that's what they do. Um everyone is upset at him. Ash tells Sheila that he doesn't have what it takes to help them. Sheila says he said he would save them, but he says it was just pillow talk, baby.

unknown 36:01

God.

SPEAKER_02 36:02

They're like, what are you talking about? We don't have pillows.

SPEAKER_00 36:04

Oh, I get punched so much if I said these things. Right? Uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:08

You would be divorced.

SPEAKER_00 36:10

Maybe I should just try to awaken my inner Ash.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:13

Just be a real misogynist.

SPEAKER_02 36:15

Yeah. Real womanizer, but also like you're funny and cool at the same time.

SPEAKER_00 36:19

Yeah, but well, I kind of joke about it a lot. And I get I get kind of a sigh at the rolling of the eyes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:26

Well, it's like every it's like that deep like misogyny that's rooted in every man. Yeah. And like the because we're not straight up shitty people, but we're a little shitty, kind of just we'll say it as a joke.

SPEAKER_00 36:37

You let it trickle out instead of just a full flow.

SPEAKER_02 36:40

And then we all meet like in a group and we just talk about our wives and how much we we wish we had the real power like we used to. And then we just watch our manosphere uh streamers and just be like, that's how it should be.

unknown 36:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:55

No. We're kidding. We're kidding. We're not like that. I promise. I promise we're not like that. Even though I've said like bitch like five times talking about Sheila, and it's just like um Sheila. Sheila. However, Sheila's crap captured by a flying deade.

unknown 37:12

Cool.

SPEAKER_02 37:14

She's taken an evil ash who has awakened all the skeletons in the cemetery and then maxed on Sheila, and now she's a deade. No, Sheila. I I love the look of the Deade. I love it, especially like when like women are turned into the Deadeights, you know, they have like the angler faces and they just kind of look fucking sick, baby. Um like the veiny, like Yeah, and like rigid cheeks and very pointy, and it's like accidentally touch your face, you're gonna cut your hand almost. So Ash becomes determined to lead the humans against the skeletal deade army and tells Lord Arthur that they will get Henry the Red's men and they will fight with them. Reluctantly, the people agree to join Ash and it's Lord of the Rings time, baby. Back with the army of the dead, we see Sheila's been turned into a dead eye. I may be bad, but I feel good it's so good! So cheesy come on everything in this movie is good. So Ash using the his scientific knowledge is from textbooks in the trunk of his 1973 Ultimate. He creates bombs, trains the men, and gets help from Henry the Red. Then the Deadites come playing flutes, bone drums, they've got bagpipes, and it's like we're doing this.

SPEAKER_00 38:39

It's got the skelet the skulls xylophone kind of things. Every bone trope we got in the book. We got every bone baby.

SPEAKER_02 38:51

So the army chang charges and the living shoot exploding arrows at them just before they explode. It's like I love it because he's it's like, all right, light your arrows, pull back, hold, hold, like the fuse is like right at the explosion. Everybody's like, oh, we gonna do this? We gonna do this? But it works beautifully. Um the one skeleton screaming after getting hit. It's always so funny. Oh, skeletons? Just they're the sickest things on the planet. That's why we got a skeleton in our kitchen, which we do. I have a skeleton in my kitchen. His name's Germa.

SPEAKER_00 39:41

There's a there's a house not too far from ours, and they have two skeletons out on their porch all year round. Yeah, that's awesome. And every season they decorate them differently and put them in different positions. There's just a permanent fixture in the neighborhood, and I love it.

SPEAKER_02 39:57

During Valentine's Day, are they prosed and they're smooching, you know? It's like they put a swing out in the front yard and they use it like a sex swing for Valentine's Day.

SPEAKER_00 40:08

I don't know if they've come that far.

SPEAKER_02 40:10

Do they have like a really short one and for like St. Patrick's Day, they dress them up as a leprechaun? No. No, they should go. Um I love it. Like during Halloween, going back to visit my mom uh like around that time. On the way, like on the people on the sh street that she lives on, they have like one of those like giant ones like 10 feet tall. Those are amazing. Sick. They used to like keep it out all the time, like would put it like a Santa hat on it and stuff during Christmas. They seem to I don't they didn't put it up the last couple years. So I'm assuming pretty tough to take up and down. I'm assuming the kid that probably lived there does not live there anymore. So they probably are just like, eh, dude, that's following. Um, but skeletons, cool. They are cool, love them. So then more come from the south and are hit with exploding catapults. Sally forth. Uh, but they keep coming and make it into the castle and they look unstoppable. But Ash comes out and says new and improved old mobile. Uh now it has a giant propeller on top and is armored up. It's got like the snow piles. It's got like log stakes sticking out the sun. Amazing.

SPEAKER_00 41:19

I love his like all his whole getup is is totally uh uh fuck road warrior. Yeah, everything's very mad max road warrior, yeah. But the spinning wheel. It's like, man, too bad. Sending them flying through the air.

SPEAKER_02 41:39

Too bad. Uh everything's going great. And uh until he sees Sheila, who looks normal, uh, he tries to stop the car and wrecks it, and then uh Sheila turns him back into a deade. It's like, hey Ash, how many times you gotta fall for this trick?

SPEAKER_00 41:53

As many as it takes, right? He's always trying to get late. But then he like uh he yeets her into the pit.

SPEAKER_02 42:06

So when things are looking bleak, Lord Arthur sees Henry the Red's men coming to help. Evil Ash makes his way to the book, followed by Goody Two Shoes. Um Ash, uh he fights off the dead men and Sheila, who he stabs and throws off the castle. Evil Ash, who has the book at his fingertips, now has to fight Ash. Ash gets to the upper hand though the through the whole battle and catches Evil Ash on fire, but he comes back now just as a skeleton. They fight more, including a hilarious punch vest.

SPEAKER_00 42:40

Oh, he has the best death, too.

SPEAKER_02 42:45

Ash falls to the ground and evil evil boy jumps onto the cattlepill, and Ash sends him off to the sky where it explodes through the catapult being on fire. They win! Yes. Crush it.

SPEAKER_00 42:59

At this point, Ashley's on the phone talking to her friend, and she's like, she stops because she's I guess so surprised at at what's happening on the screen. She's like, Jason, what the fuck are you watching?

SPEAKER_02 43:12

Good thing she'd have watched the whole movie. She would have hated it.

SPEAKER_00 43:14

Oh yeah. She would have hated Ash. It's like he's he sucks. He's like, this is everyone, everything I want to be.

unknown 43:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

It's all in one man. All in one man. I I don't know. I don't think I'd look too good if I had a little bit bigger chin. I wouldn't go with the small face I have.

SPEAKER_00 43:32

Yeah, my face is too fat right now for a big chin.

SPEAKER_02 43:35

I love that uh like people at home are just like imagine me with the tiniest little face. And then you're just like a the largest face you've ever seen. And then they're gonna see us like y'all look like normal people. Dude, I got a big face. Yeah. I always wonder like if we ever did do a video podcast, which I never honestly really ever want to do. But like if 'cause you know, that when you listen to podcasts. Then you see who the people behind the voices are, and you're like, Oh, that's what y'all look like?

unknown 44:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:06

It's like I wonder if people are gonna be like, Oh no, they look similar to what I thought they looked like, or they're gonna be like, Wow. They're gonna be surprised. It's pleasantly surprised. Jesse's that skinny. So they win. The priest brews a potion that he must drink and recite the same words he couldn't earlier, and then he will go back to his time. He says goodbye to Sheila and heads off. I guess in this version he says the words right. Uh we cut to him at S. Mart telling his story to uh Sam Raimi's brother. Uh he says he still didn't say the phrase correctly, but then the deade are back in attack. But luckily, S. Mart has plenty of guns.

SPEAKER_00 44:43

Yes, he's got a well, he's got like a repeater rifle now.

SPEAKER_02 44:45

Yeah. Hell yeah. And then he kills the deade, kisses the girls. Oh to the king, baby. And that is Army of the Darkness. Fantastic. What a good hour and 25 minute movie. So fun to watch. Jesus Christ. Something that we have learned from the past two movies we've watched. You can do a lot with an hour and 25 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 45:08

I think I'm gonna w get have the older two kids watch this for Halloween. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:14

On YouTube for free, apparently. Don't watch it that way, by the way. Because that is a crime. Because you need to give Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi more money. Yeah. Fun the chin, baby.

SPEAKER_03 45:28

Fund the chin.

SPEAKER_01 45:30

So Jason?

SPEAKER_02 45:34

I think the point of the movie is if Sam Raimi wants to make an medieval dead movie, let him. And if he wants to make a futuristic post-apocalyptic dead dead movie, let him. I wonder if in the future Ash has like a golden chin, like a robot chin. That'd be great. Or like his chin gets knocked off. Yeah. And then like they put one and it's even bigger. Yeah. Made out of metal. Like jaws. Then at that point, if we also do the hand idea, maybe you just like give it a. Is he more machine than man? Maybe you just like do a classic Jaws thing from uh um uh uh uh uh James Bond Moonraker and then silver teeth. I'd be down for it. I really wish they did a fourth one. Like I just want to know the title of it. Like, what would futuristic evil dead be called? Future evil post-apotholyptic dead. I don't know. I'm just I just want to at least give me a title, Sam. Come on. We're on a first name. On a first name basis here, okay, Sam. All right, we're gonna hit up our next category.

What Works What Does Not

SPEAKER_02 46:40

The good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. It's where we discuss the good of the 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. Um you know what? Like, the good for me is stop motion. Yeah, fucking putting your hands on some stuff and creating something. That's what I like in my movies. Beautiful, it's great, it's silly, and it just looks so good. It looks so good for none of that's real.

SPEAKER_00 47:13

And you know, so sometimes like cheesy movies are they're so bad, but they're also so good. Yeah. And I've because I I was watching like this kids' movie with my daughters last night, and like it was so bad, but it because it was so cheesy. But at the same time, it was kind of yeah, hilarious. What movie was it? Uh it's something like the kids of Disney Queen, like evil queens, and they all go to school together. Oh, the couldn't even think of it. I can't yeah, don't know. So bad. At the same time, it was kind of funny.

SPEAKER_02 47:54

Um, I do have something so you said like a movie that's like bad, but it's so cheesy and it and good. Um, there's nothing bad about this movie.

SPEAKER_00 48:01

So no you're right.

SPEAKER_02 48:05

No, so it's no, I get it. It's like so over the top, and it's a core ball of that movie.

SPEAKER_00 48:10

I love I love how uh uh Bruce Campbell is just the perfect character for this type of movie. Yeah. And there couldn't be, I don't even think there could be another Bruce Campbell.

SPEAKER_02 48:21

It's like you don't want him to die, but you want him to go through every torture ever. Because it's like you know you know it's gonna be hilarious when he gets hurt and it's gonna be badass when he wins and says a line that's cool.

SPEAKER_00 48:34

It's gonna slip on a banana peel and just make it look incredible.

SPEAKER_02 48:38

I wouldn't be surprised in this movie if they pulled out a banana and a skeleton ate it, ate the whole banana, and then like the peel even falls out of their stomach, and then he runs and slips on it. I can see that being a bit in this. And once again, I will make Evil Dead 4 if you let me. I already have two ide I have three ideas. Nobody's stopping you, Jesse. I got four ideas. I got the two-hand situation, the jaw situation, Ryan Gosling, and now a banana pill bit. What more do you want from me? I could make this movie easily. Um, the bad. Uh, for the first time ever, it's too short.

SPEAKER_00 49:17

I don't know if it's too short.

SPEAKER_02 49:18

Give me five to ten more minutes. This would be even better. I would actually loved if they gave like 10 extra minutes on the beginning.

SPEAKER_00 49:28

Um, even just on the recap?

SPEAKER_02 49:30

Yeah. Just give me more of it. Just give me more, especially if we're not gonna have blood for the rest of it. You know, give me 10 minutes of just like gruesome evil dead blood and guts.

SPEAKER_00 49:42

That is true. I I think there should there could have been more blood and guts.

SPEAKER_02 49:45

Yeah. But I mean, I guess like everything that he fights is, you know, it's already dead.

SPEAKER_00 49:51

Yeah, but it yeah, like like you were saying before, he was just drenched in blood the first time.

SPEAKER_02 49:57

Um oh, we didn't really even man, just kind of powered through the whole plot. Didn't even talk about how dope bad ash looks. Yeah. Like with his face like all scarred and like. I don't know. He wasn't buried that long. He was buried like maybe a day.

SPEAKER_00 50:11

He's good ash. He got his face stuck to a stu a hot stove. Yeah. And then looks fine. Nothing. Nothing happened. I mean, he did have like a few scars and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 50:20

This guy gets a little dirt on him, and then all of a sudden he's like a decaying corpse.

SPEAKER_00 50:26

He did look pretty rad though.

SPEAKER_02 50:27

I I'm assuming there was probably something cut out that like made his face look like that, maybe. Like he was set on fire. It's like I would love. And if you know, like let us know if there's like what version I have to watch to see how he looks like that. But then just like with his helmet and everything, it's just amazing.

SPEAKER_00 50:46

Yeah. I burped. I didn't know. Well, he didn't, he he had both hands. Yeah. Where what what the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 50:51

Yeah. What his hands grew back?

SPEAKER_00 50:52

Well, I mean, I guess if he He could have had like an evil chainsaw. That would have been great, dude. Yeah, chainsaw fight.

SPEAKER_02 51:00

Yeah. Well, I guess we man, that'd be two chainsaw fights in one one year. That and Mandy. That's not too many, I don't think. I don't think there is a limit of how many chainsaw fights there can be. All right, so uh for the ugly, I got nothing. I think it's uh it's it's it's on point. It's uh it did it. Perfect. Everything it was supposed to do, it did it, and more. You got anything that didn't age well?

SPEAKER_00 51:27

I can't. There's nothing.

SPEAKER_02 51:29

I mean, like even in the things that you can see the seams on, it's it doesn't matter. I don't know. It's just it just makes it better over time.

SPEAKER_00 51:38

You can tell that it's just it's his action, like his too long. Yeah, yeah, it's way too long. Fantastic, it looks amazing. I know, I loved it whenever he throws the chainsaw down and he gets he's like jumps up like Super Mario and grabs it, like locks in, and everybody's like, yeah! Yes.

SPEAKER_02 52:01

I would have loved to see watching this in the theaters would be amazing, you know. Bring it back, baby. Uh for the fine, I put uh Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. They'll never die. Right here. They will pointing at my heart. Oh, yeah. I'm pointing at my heart. Until your heart dies, and then we gotta pull it out of it. Yeah, pull it out to pull Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell out.

SPEAKER_00 52:22

And they're like, thank God you left it. Oh god.

SPEAKER_02 52:26

Man. Good thing he made this curse on himself where if he dies, we get to re be reborn again. We're free. I do that. I do that.

SPEAKER_01 52:36

Uh, you got anything? Uh for the fine?

SPEAKER_03 52:41

I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_00 52:42

This I just I love the stop animation. Yeah. That kind of thing. The little skeletons. Yeah. So I want to shake their hands and say thank you for what you've done and contributed to cinema.

SPEAKER_02 52:58

I'm gonna bite you. Um, yeah. So we're gonna hit up

Double Features And Next Pick

SPEAKER_02 53:02

our next category. It's double feature. It's where we recommend a movie to go alongside this movie. I chose a Peter Jackson movie. And it's not Lord of the Rings. It's the Frighteners. Nice. You ever seen it? I don't know. It's uh yeah, it's so it's um, yeah, it's Michael J. Fox who just like sees ghosts and he like talks to him, and there's like a demonic spirit appears, and he may be the only one who can stop it from killing the living and the dead. It's goofy, it's funny. Uh before Peter Jackson was like Mr. Lord of the Rings in big budget giant CGI movies, he was like, I do horror movies at rule.

SPEAKER_00 53:39

Yeah, um, so yeah, that's uh So my mine is uh as soon as this movie was was finished, another movie started playing immediately after, and it was Spaceballs. Ooh, and I was and I was like, Holy shit, I haven't seen this forever. And then as soon as Lord Helmet walks in, I'm like, yep.

SPEAKER_02 53:58

I think my my favorite bit from that whole movie is like uh they like it's like they're in their spaceship, and it's like, yes, they're combing the air area right now. It's like, have y'all found anything? And it's like, we haven't found shit. And then they also have a giant comb in the desert.

SPEAKER_00 54:19

And Lord Helmet's like, instead of force choking him, he just shoots him in the dick with a laser. Yeah. Like, what is happening? Uh yeah, space balls.

SPEAKER_02 54:31

Spaceballs, blazing saddles, young Frankenstein, the three best movies ever made. Young Frankenstein, I think, is my favorite. Nice. And then there may be maybe because that's like one of my wife's favorite movies. But it's got to be normal. Gene Wilder. Come on, man. That is incredible. So, Jason, this next movie, this will end the movie. This next movie will end the movies that we are doing because these are movies Donnie Darko made us think about. We'll be doing 12 Monkeys. Nice.
