The Podcast on Haunted Hill will contain spoilers and swearing.

I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil's work.

I saw this when I come.

And be one of us.

Hello, and welcome to the Podcast on Haunted Hill, Episode 176.

My name is Gav.

My name is Dan.

And we are your intrepid hosts of the horror jungle of filmage.

But tonight, we're not, actually, generally are, from the title.

You can tell we're a bit of a horror-centric podcast.

We're not this evening.

We are getting our action groove on.

We're pumping some iron, Gav.

We're going out on a vengeance revenge mission.

Do it!

Yeah.

Do it now!

Do it now!

We are doing commando and Taken.

We are doing them.

And the reason for that is that this episode is Patron pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig.

Before we get into who the patron is and all that, good stuff.

How are you, mate?

Yeah, I'm good, thank you.

I can't complain.

Watched literally no films.

Oh, actually, I'm pretty good.

I had a health check and I was all okay.

So I should say, actually, I'm pretty good.

Yeah, that is good to know.

I haven't been watching many films, but I suggested to Daisy to watch Breaking Bad.

And I started watching the first episode of River and I was like, I remember this.

This is great.

I know you haven't seen it.

And I just cracked on.

I was forwarding through the boring bits of Skyler, which people would know.

You don't know what that means.

That's his wife.

It's been family stuff at first.

I was getting through that because I was like, I'll just get into the bits where he's making meth with Jesse in the RV in the desert.

Just give me the drugs.

Yeah, that sort of stuff.

I forgot for that.

Then it starts seeing all the gangster shit and the Mexican cartels come in and just the street stuff.

And I was like, I'll stop playing it all.

And then binge Breaking Bad.

And then I went and watched El Camino, which is the film which kind of shows what happens to Jesse.

But it's funny that it sees it like that because it's funny because you haven't seen it, obviously.

It's five seasons.

But watching this again, because I kind of forgot it, because about 10 years ago I watched it.

It got to the end of the fourth season and it kind of wraps up nicely.

But then it's like, why is there another season?

And it's another season where it kind of all goes quite dark and quite shit and it just ends up being all a lot more death and destruction and the finales of people and stuff.

So I was thinking, if you wanted to have a happy ending, you could finish on season four.

But if you're like, yeah, I could be a nihilist, I want more and watch season five.

But it's funny, I feel like it's a weird TV show to have like a bit where you could go, you could finish it and that would be it.

But there's another one if you want more stuff.

But yeah, and then I'll just start watching Breaking Better Call Saul again.

Which I do know that is, you know, yeah.

So a really good show still, really impressed how great that show is actually.

I still recommend watching it to you one day.

I definitely will one day.

Just sit back and go, I'm just gonna sit and watch this now.

There's two shows out of all the shows people ram into my ears that I should watch.

People tell me to watch Game Of Thrones, people tell me to watch Dextre.

That's me, but yeah, I did Dextre, it was alright.

There's two shows I do wanna watch, Breaking Bad and Sons Of Anarchy.

And I do really wanna watch both of those.

I've just not seen either of them.

I tell you what, at some point, I'm gonna watch Sopranos, I've never watched that.

Yeah, I've never seen that either.

Because I've heard it's a shit ending.

Game Of Thrones, I don't really like fantasy, so you know, it's up for life.

You wouldn't like that.

No, but Breaking Bad, I normally get to five season things, Walking Dead, five seasons, I gave up.

Dexter, five season, I think it was, and I went, that's enough, I can't anymore.

You get to a point where you're like, whatever.

So five seasons, something's enough.

But I do actually have the Blu-ray box of Breaking Bad.

If you ever get stumped with it coming off Netflix, maybe, I don't know if it would, I'm not sure, probably wouldn't, I suppose.

But a fantastic show still.

I was really surprised how good that show is.

Very good.

Unfortunately, I've not watched anything either since we last recorded.

Well, that's a lie.

There is one, well, there's two things I watched.

One of them is a story for our patron in a moment, about our patron in a moment.

The only thing I revisited, because I saw it was talking of coming off of Netflix, it was being removed and it had been on my list and I wanted to catch it again.

And that was Life from 2017.

Yeah, yeah, I like that one.

God, that was, I'd seen it once before, but this time around, it was even better.

The creature in it is really good, isn't it?

It's a really good effect.

Although it is kind of just alien, really.

It's a remake almost.

It's nice because all the cast are likable people, you know.

Yeah.

And it's got a bit of budget to it.

And like it's nice for those guys making film.

It's a contained film.

It's like one, you know, one area, so to speak.

I thought it was really good.

And I actually popped it up a notch to a 7 out of 10 from 6.

Yeah, that's in my film collection.

Yeah, it's decent, really decent.

There is another film I watched which I'll get on to in a moment then.

But before we talk about our Patreon and my holiday with him recently, let's talk about what you've been up to, because I know you recently went to Horrified.

Yeah, as most people know who on the social medias know, we went to, as Deadbolt Films, Horrified, a new convention in the south of England, because most of the horror conventions are kind of midlands and upwards.

Birmingham, Manchester, that sort of thing, a lot of them.

So it's nice to have a new one started, and they went off with a bang with it and make it like a proper big event.

Robert England was there, Lance Henriksen, loads of people.

Really, it was fun being there as a trader with people with other stalls, because we got really friendly of all the other stalls, all the other people selling stuff and that.

And they're all like, you've got to come to the other conventions.

And it's weird, though, because we were selling ourselves as Deadbolt Films.

We did make 350 quid from selling some comics, which was just on the side, sort of like, we've got these comics here and people are liking them.

The Eldritch Lust ones obviously make good money, because people like the tentacles and the smutty tentacle comics.

I love the octopuses right up inside them.

But which is really interesting, because every person that bought those comics were all female.

Wow.

Yeah, it's not men buying those comics, which is really interesting.

We made loads of friends there.

If you are listening to the show, because we promote the show, if you're listening to the show and we saw you, it was great to speak to you.

It was tiring, pretty draining.

But yeah, it's really good because we released Amanda on YouTube.

Do check that out people, if you like the old footage movies.

We released that night before, so we basically people come up to the store and I'll be like, what you into?

And someone would be like, I like Slashers.

OK, cool.

Take this flight.

OK, we made this movie.

And I'd pimp out and someone would go up on social media.

I'd just say a thing for Shadow of Death and we'd be tagged in it.

Like deadbolt films and they say, oh, we went up to and they said, what what what do you want to watch?

What sort of things you think?

And I said this, and they gave me this and I said, I loved it.

And then they sort of pimp it.

And loads of people were watching all of our other stuff as well.

And it's really cool.

I got to speak to Andrew Robinson, who's the dad in Hellraiser.

Yeah, which was really interesting.

I was chatting to him.

I didn't realize.

I looked down at his pictures because they always have photographs of different films.

You could choose which one you want them to sign, which movie.

And he was Scorpio and Dirty Harry.

Oh, wow.

He was the bad guy in Dirty Harry with the nose plaster and really crazy hair and the turtleneck.

I was just like, Oh, my God, you're in Dirty Harry.

That's like, Wow.

And then we talked about Clive Barker a bit.

And luckily, I didn't scold him because I thought I was going to scold him, but actually he schooled me when I checked later on.

I thought Clive Barker directed Warhead Rex and he didn't.

And he was like, No, I think he'll raise his first movie.

And I was going to say, Yeah.

And I was going to go, I don't think it is.

And I was going to start trying to debate with Andrew Robinson this.

And I think Andrew Robinson's name, I do apologize if I got that wrong.

But no, he was right.

But yeah, it's cool.

It's a really good convention.

Nice to meet lots of people and hang out and just hang out with film people, film nerds and talk movies.

Every person go by, you're like, nice t-shirt, because they would have like these amazing t-shirts.

Then you just have like a next five minute, ten minute discussion about Brain Dead or something.

It was fucking great.

That's why I love wearing my horror t-shirts.

Yeah, I was telling you before we recorded, I've got a new John Carpenter t-shirt, which is basically all of his movies on VHS stacked up in a pile.

Yeah, but big enough that you can read them all.

And I went out and about for the first time in a long time, for some drinks with friends.

And everywhere I went, people were talking to me, people knew who John Carpenter was, it would start conversations.

I had two or three conversations with people about it.

Netflix, Netflix are going to have a John Carpenter documentary coming out.

Yes.

I don't know.

I'm not even sure if I've made it yet, but I know that's been announced.

Yeah, so it's really cool.

We're going to try and go some more horror conventions, because it was just really good fun.

I saw some bears.

Nice.

Yeah.

I went to a gay bar.

No, I didn't.

I went to the zoo.

Yeah, I was trying to go along the bear cheeks bottoms thing, but you just went straight into the gay bar.

Yeah.

No, I took my kids to the new Bristol Zoo is moved.

And we went there a couple of years ago, but we didn't get very far because they were tiny.

But this time around, we got to do the whole zoo.

And it's a much bigger space.

And the only reason I mentioned this is because it was so fucking cool as horror fans and obviously haven't recently watched Cocaine Bear.

And there's this bit called the bear walk, where you walk through.

You're basically about 100 feet above a forest on a walkway with Fancy the side, of course.

And there's three grizzly bears that live in the forest below.

You get to watch them.

Yeah.

And Jack was so hyped because the one animal, there's two animals he wanted to see at the zoo, a slime monster.

I don't know what that is, but he wanted to see a slime monster at the zoo and a bear.

And when he saw the bear, he was so stoked.

His heart was racing, because I was holding him, his heart was racing in his chest, and he was so happy and couldn't believe he'd seen a bear.

And then in the next enclosure, which you can't really see where the seam is, but there isn't a seam, there was two wolverines, and he was like, but that's not Wolverine.

I was like, no, no, no, Wolverine isn't a guy in a yellow suit, played by Hugh Jackman.

Wolverine is a real animal.

And there was these two wolverines, and they were fucking vicious, man.

They were looking up at the people looking at them, like they wanted to climb up and eat us.

They were looking badass.

They're like a small bear, but with the legs of a cat, like a lion.

So you can imagine a bear, but with longer, very fast legs, a massive razor blade claws.

They look badass.

But I just wanted to mention that because 20 minutes from my house lives three grizzly bears and two wolverines.

And now I feel very pleased by that.

Yeah, that's amazing.

It's really cool.

Really cool.

So that was a little day that we had.

One other thing I want to mention before we get to...

That's near your house.

20 minutes.

Oh, after I've come down with larger sometimes.

It's really cool.

I'd love to do it again.

Yeah, yeah.

One other thing I want to mention before we talk about our patron and get into that patron goodness is this is the first podcast we've recorded in 11 years of podcasting where we haven't used, and this is not a promotion in any way, but we haven't used Skype.

We've relied on Skype for 11 years.

That sounds a bit like an advert.

And Skype...

Do you have problems with Skype?

And Skype closed as a business on the 1st of May.

Well, it's weird though, because I turned on my iMac, because my iMac is so old, I'm asking to use now my laptop here.

My iMac is so old, I can't update to teams.

There isn't even such a thing.

I can't find it.

But I logged into Skype, because like you said, and Skype just came up as normal on my iMac.

Yeah, it just doesn't do anything, though.

Oh, OK.

So we've upgraded and we're using Teams.

But it's exactly like Skype, really.

Probably not quite as good.

But yeah, I just wanted to mention that, because it's quite historical, really.

I was here over the years, Skype getting dissed a bit.

And I was like, no, Skype's fine.

Yeah, I have no issue.

I miss it.

It does what it's supposed to do.

Yeah.

And it was considering it was free.

I don't know what this can do, which is any different.

Not a lot.

Yeah.

It might be able to record it.

I think you look a bit more crystal clear.

Yeah, I do look a bit more alcoholic.

Even though I don't drink, I look a bit really like stone pale.

But I think it's just because I've got the curtains open there.

I've said I look like an 80s American wrestler today.

He does.

He's got a really cool, shiny head and a big beard.
