Legion Podcasts - All Shows

Welcome to the 106th episode of the Friday Nightmares Podcast, as we continue to go through adventures in technology and 2025 horror movies.

My name is Heather Powell, and I'm one half of our hosting team, and I am located in Waterdown, Ontario, Canada.

And with me, as always,

Mr. Smokeshow Crawford, coming to you from the town of Swartz Creek, in the county of Genesee, in the state of Michigan, in the United States of America, in the North American continent, in the Western Hemisphere, on the planet Earth, in the Milky Way Gats, fully vax-boosted and waxed, and ready to climax.

And if you can, please get me wet, and feed me after midnight.

I'm the man with the glorious beard, aka Mother of Cats, aka the man who with the mungus ego, aka Scott Howson, aka Scotty Too Hotty, aka Spanky, aka Hey Scott, and aka one half of the premium podcasting duo that is still trying to figure out how to navigate this technology since Skype went down.

Honestly, you would think that as we already recorded 20 minutes and we lost it, at least it was only 20 minutes.

We haven't done that in a long time.

But as I just, the only thing I want to carry over from that previous conversation is we just want everyone to know that Scott and I would definitely die in a horror movie.

We would die probably first.

We are not the ones that will make it.

Do not bank on us.

We'll probably split up.

I will definitely be having sex somewhere.

Scott will probably be too busy with his garden and we would both be dead.

There's not even a question.

Do not follow Scott and I at all.

No, you're doomed for failure if you follow.

Honestly, we are not even role models.

We're like the opposite of role models.

Role models are what you shouldn't be in life when it comes to horror movie survival.

We can't even figure out fucking audio softwares, let alone.

Right.

You know, we would joke that we were part of the premium podcasting duo, but I'm starting to wonder about that nowadays, too.

Well, like the thing is, we're just not like as big of nerds as like Tim and Daniel.

It's true.

Like we have other interests besides horror movies.

We just don't want to say the uncomfortable thing out loud, right?

Exactly.

We're very popular.

100 percent.

Like for example, you have a garden, and you need to monitor that garden, and I bring in fucking foster dogs that sleep with me and keep me up all night.

So we're really busy.

Yeah, totally busy.

The garden life is just so much, and then the foster dog mom life, just too much, Tim.

Tim with five kids.

I know.

Oh, look at me.

I'm a parent.

Oh, I'm so busy.

Oh, I live in Australia.

Look at me with barbecue.

Oh, man, Tim's barbecue.

It's almost as yummy looking as him.

That's right.

Yeah.

And I'm hard.

I know.

That's good.

You got to be hard for something as we go through this list.

Don't worry, it will go down.

Yeah, it'll get very flaccid very quick.

Yeah, there's something we forgot to talk about that makes it want to hide.

But we'll jump right to the first one that we both watched some time ago, Clown in a Chord Field, which is based off a series of books, as Scott had said in our previous recording that you're never going to get to hear.

Are you a friend of Friendo?

Quinn and her father have just moved to the quiet town of Kettle Springs, hoping for a fresh start.

Instead, she discovers a fractured community that has fallen upon hard times after the treasured bay pin corn syrup factory burns down.

That still makes me laugh, the corn syrup factory.

As the locals bicker amongst themselves and the tensions boil over, a sinister grinning figure emerges from the corn fields to clean the town of its burdens.

One bloody victim at a time.

This was really entertaining.

I enjoyed this film quite a bit.

It's a 96 minute runtime.

Scott said it earlier that it was like a 90s slasher, and I think that's a really great comparison.

Yeah.

The kills are a little bit like they do pull away, and the understanding of that is this is actually a series meant for children, like young adults, which is why it kind of pulls away when the kills happen.

But I did find it really entertaining.

And even though the plot was kind of paint by numbers and you knew what was going to happen and none of it was really shocking, I liked that it moved quickly and it got to the point.

Yeah, I completely agree.

Like it was it didn't waste your time.

And yeah, it's just one of those fun slashers, not anything new.

It's very predictable in a lot of ways.

You see the twist coming.

But I do like the comedy that was in this because it was the director of Tucker and Dale vs.

Evil.

And there were definitely some lines in this that were quite hilarious.

And yeah, just all around, I just had a fun time with it.

Like the characters were all like enjoyable and not painting the asses, not someone I just couldn't stand, like besides the ones that deserve to be killed.

Yeah.

But like all in all, I thought this was just a very fun, entertaining slasher film.

Not going to be in my top 10, but it's I'd give it a seven.

It's fun.

Yeah.

And there were some lines that did really make me laugh.

Like there was one line where one of the characters gets hurt and she's like, oh, no, girl, like, it's really bad.

Like, that made me laugh.

Like, it's something like it's so bad.

Like, when looking at her injuries and I laughed out loud, I'm like, that's the thing I would say.

That's, yeah.

Um, again, this is not gonna, as Scott says, probably not gonna be on a lot of people's top 10s, but was it easy and fluffy to watch?

Yes.

Is it good for like a Friday night chillin?

And you want to throw something on that doesn't require a lot of brainpower, which is clearly a problem for Scott and I, because we can't figure out technology on how to record.

So, yeah, we need lots of dumb things to entertain us.

I'm special.

Oh, we have no idea what's going on 95% of the time.

This is why we don't talk about politics on this podcast, because we can't even figure out fucking online shit.

Yeah, I'm too dumb for politics.

I just go outside and stare at my plants and go, this is good.

This is life now.

We're both just like foster dogs and like works really busy.

Like everybody's work is really busy and like drinking.

And you're like garden.

We don't have time to be mad.

We're mad.

Don't don't get us wrong.

We're still woke as fuck.

But we just don't talk about it.

It's exhausting.

Yeah, like our two countries are a tariff wars.

And that's the biggest problem with Friday Nightmares.

Is that we can't afford the tariffs it's got.

And I keep putting on each other.

Maybe that's the issue we're having.

We're coming across tariffs that came across all the recording software.

And it's fucking with us.

Now they've come for Friday Nightmares anyway.

I digress.

Corns, a clown in a cornfield, also known as.

Corns in the clown field.

Corns, cornfield, corn in the clown field.

That's a sequel.

Yes, that's going to be done by.

No, it's it's going to be the remake that's going to be done by.

Who is it that used to do the really shitty movies that we used to watch all the time?

Not Asylum.

Is it Asylum?

Asylum is one of them.

Uncorked.

That's the uncorked version of the movie.

Uncorked according to the Clownfield.

But if you want to watch the actual film Clown in a Cornfield, it is available on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Video, and Amazon, both video in the US and United States.

And Cineplex here in Canada.

And I think it's worth the rental personally.

I think you'll have a good time with it.

It's fluffy and fun and sometimes that's what we need.

Exactly.

I definitely agree.

I think it's definitely worth the rental.

It's something easy and fluffy to watch.

We're all about easy and fluffy here on Friday Nightmares.

So the next film I watched was an Ozzy Cunt film.

I joked earlier that Tim made this film.

He was actually in It Is a Shark.

This was actually a really good, like not really good film.

Historically, it was cool to see the scuba diving suit, but it does drag out a little bit.

This film is an 85-minute runtime and it feels a lot longer, which is a real shame.

Yeah.

A ragged team of divers attempt to salvage a sunken car from a river are thwarted by a highly aggressive bull shark.

So I really like that they used a bull shark reference in this.

And the shark footage is actually pretty good.

It's basically a group of divers that have been hired by mobsters to go and retrieve stuff from this car.

And of course, there's a shark that stalks them.

And I would say the highlight of this is that it's supposed to be in the 1920s or 30s, so you're seeing like old school scuba material that they would have used to go under, which I thought was kind of cool.

But it does drag, like the story does drag out a lot.

So unless you're a real shark fan or historical horror movie fan, like you like to see like older pieces of equipment represented in movies, then I would say skip this.

But otherwise, I think it's worth a watch.

Now, I know you haven't seen it yet, right?

No, not yet.

This is one like I wasn't sure.

Because I remember you saying you watched it, but it didn't sound like you recommended it to me, so I didn't bother.

No, in old days, I would have when we had nothing else to do.

But those days are long gone.

Yeah.

Now have a lot of things to do.

So if you're interested in your shark film completus or you really like historical horror, this is available on Apple TV, Google Play, Flick-Fling, Matt Woods who's an premium podcast host, like the best probably, better than anyone from Australia.

True premium.

Actually, my role model is I want to be like Matt.

It's a bit of shame this one as I think there's something decent here yet it didn't pay out.

The concept and the idea is a great one and unique way of getting a shark into an attacking scenario.

So he kind of goes on to say that it felt a little cheap and that's fair.

This is low budget.

So know that going into it if you choose to rent it.

And we're talking about Fear Below.

So the next one you saw because I don't know what that is.

So the next one is Predator Killer of Killers.

It is a Hulu original or probably Disney Plus original for everybody else.

It's not America.

But this is a kind of filler movie for the Predator series.

So, you know, we had prey and it's done by the same director, but it's all animated and it's an anthology.

Fun.

Yeah.

And it's I'll read the synopsis real quick.

The hunt begins while three of the fiercest warriors in human history, a Viking raider, ninja in feudal Japan and a World War Two pilot, are killers in their own right.

They are merely prey for the new opponent, the ultimate killer of killers.

And yeah, it just there's three different stories that kind of jump around to different timelines of history.

And there are different types of the outcha or the Predator, as some people would know.

And the animation, while kind of lacking a little bit, the story itself was really awesome.

And it actually ties these three stories together by the end and kind of ties in to other works of the Predator universe.

And it has me excited for Predator Badlands that will be coming out very soon.

But this was, if you are into the Predator history, lore and all that stuff, and you just want and you don't mind animation, I definitely recommend this.

This had some really awesome scenarios.

I thought all the stories were great.

And like the tie up through all of it worked out really well.

Like this was just a really fun idea that they had to bring up to kind of fill in that gap between the live action movies.

Okay.

Okay.

And it's available, you said, just on Disney.

I hope it's on Hulu and Disney Plus.

Yep.

And let's see.

Sexy Matt Wood gave it a 7 out of 10.

And very nice.

He's like, he said, conflicted here.

I'm not a fan of anime, but a big fan of Predator.

That said, I thought the animation looked fantastic.

Very realistic.

Cool stories with a decent wrap around.

The gore was good and the Predators looked ace.

Awesome.

Yep.

So yeah, he really enjoyed it.

And then, yeah, I think Tim absolutely loved it, if I remember correctly.

And you're now hearing him on his podcast and him being a huge, huge Yautja Predator fan.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's a big fan of that.

But yeah, this is for me, I definitely recommend this because, yeah, I had a freaking blast with it.

Okay, good.

Good to know.

I'm not a big anime fan, but it sounds like if you all joined it, it must be a good one.

Yeah.

And I would say it's not even anime.

I would say it's more almost like, I would just call it animation.

It doesn't have that anime feel to it.

All right.

I'm here for it.

This Elma and the Wolf in the Weed, did you watch it?

I did not.

This is one I've been curious about.

Yeah, I don't remember it that well.

So that tells you that it wasn't that great.

Well, and also it's been a while since we recorded too.

Yeah.

I kind of remember a bit of it.

After a violent animal attack, paranoia spreads through Spiral Creek, but when Deputy Ren Accord gets too close, his son vanishes and the reality begins to fracture.

So I believe this had some mythology to it as well regarding wolves.

I know Tim gave it three stars and was like not what I was expecting, interesting film, but not when I rewatch.

I think that's really fair.

I remember being interested in it, but also kind of bored to the point that I really don't remember it well.

Matt gave it three and a half stars.

Great story, well written, well shot.

You really feel his emotions, bravo.

I would agree, I remember feeling the emotions, and I do agree that the goat and the werewolf in it were very cool.

But I don't fully remember the ending, and I don't know if it's just because so many other things have happened, and it's just didn't stick with me.

But a lot of other people are saying that it's at least three and a half stars, so that tells me that it's probably worth the watch for some folks.

But I would say be prepared for a little bit more of a slow burn.

So you may want to watch it, Scott.

It's 89 minutes, so it's worth the watch.

So it would only be about three hours for me.

Yeah, only be about three hours.

So which means you're probably not going to watch it because I feel like your time is really limited.

We are down to only one child for this week, so I might be able to squeeze it in.

You finally got rid of the other one?

Yeah, we put him up for adoption.

No, he wouldn't do his grandparents' house for the week.
