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, welcome to the podcast on Haunted Hill, Episode 179.

Boom, might drop.

That's the end of the show, because I got the number right.

That's not the end of the show.

It's the beginning.

It's not the end.

As Jim Morrison just said.

It's just the beginning.

It's just the beginning.

As I said, my name is Gav.

I'm sitting.

My name is Dan.

I'm talking over you.

I'm sitting remotely with Dan.

Just jumps straight in there.

I was excited.

Waiting for no man.

Straight in there.

Aren't you, Dan?

Well, that's kind of the theme of the episode, I think.

You just get straight in, you dunk it right in.

That's what you do.

So this might be a filthy episode.

This might be a greasy episode.

Ah, I just turned you down a bit.

You just went very loud.

Oh, I do apologize.

I just dropped it on his virtual head for this episode.

If someone's like, guys, do you reckon you could do all the sound effects for this feature film?

Absolutely.

Like Sony comes to us in like the new Spider-Man movies, me and you just...

You've got a budget of 20 pounds, whatever is lying around your house.

Off to Poundland with you guys, off you go and get some stuff.

Okay.

We could do all right.

We do all right.

But they want us to do it with our mouths, not actual stuff, because I was going to do the sound effects like that.

That would make us actually sound...

We could do that legit.

No, like walking up the steps.

When I was a kid, my friend had a top loader VHS you could plug a microphone into.

So we used to record things off the TV and then dub over them.

Oh, shit.

And the one we did the best was, in our opinion, is nine year olds, was Knight Rider, the movie, The Pilot.

And we went to town talking over that.

We talked to the whole movie.

Did you do it on your own commentary tracks on the VHS?

Well, it was just, it wasn't even commentary.

It was just like, hey, have you seen my underwear?

Yeah, it's over here.

See, that's the shit you want to have when you're older.

And now, we used to watch that every weekend.

We used to be like, put our Night Rider film on, and we'd watch it and just be cracking up at our Night Rider film.

It's like you listen to your own podcast.

Yeah, but I was nine.

Cracking up to yourself.

But anyway, Dom.

Yes, thank you so much, Dom, for your support.

You greasy naughty man.

Yes, thank you for your support.

And this is what you get for your support and everybody else who supports us.

Thank you very much for you.

So every one of you.

As in the description thumbnail, you might need a bath after this episode because the two movies that Dom has selected.

They get greasy.

Are not going to make you feel good in some ways.

They will make you laugh.

One of them certainly will make you laugh.

So he selected Gaspar Ngo's Climax.

Yeah, sorry.

Climax from 2018.

That was my climax.

And I saw your own face.

That was my vinegar face.

And that has got a lot of rising bodies in it, lots of LSD, dancing and constricting, and it's got all sorts going on in that.

Also very violent.

So that's already going to make you feel a little bit grubby.

But he also made me watch for the first time ever The Greasy Strangler in 2016.

Now, I've been putting off watching this.

So it's not one that I've really wanted to watch.

Not because I'm squeamish.

I just thought, I don't know if I'll enjoy it.

I'll hold off on my thoughts until we get to our review later on in the show.

But it's certainly an experience and I'll hold off on my thoughts for now.

But The Greasy Strangler from 2016 an Climax from 2018, Don has selected.

He sent us an email, which I'll read out just at the end of the intro so that we know why he selected those and what they mean to him.

We've also got a surprise, which me and Dan only surprised ourselves with this afternoon by spontaneously doing this.

We have a guest speaker for The Greasy Strangler because the person in mind loves the film.

And I was just like, well, they should, because they also are podcasters.

And here we are, they're going to come on.

And that is my lovely Sarah.

She's going to come on and chat with us about the film, because she's a massive fan of it.

Her ideal night is that, then the fly.

Amazing.

She actually sat and ate popcorn.

Watch this with me, because we remotely did it together.

And then just throw the substance in at the end of that for a triple bill of oily, greasy, squelchy, slimy horror.

And you're away, aren't you, really?

Pretty much.

Yeah.

Anyway, so we don't normally do that, but she's coming on to join us, chat about The Greasy Strangler.

So I hope that's OK, Don.

You don't mind that.

We're not hijacking it in any way.

She will bring something to travel and take away if.

If anything, it makes Don's special episode even more special.

We don't often have guests.

Don't actually.

We did one.

I did an interview once upon a time very early on, but we kind of decided not to do interviews because I've had people.

I'd literally a couple of weeks ago, someone say, Oh, do you do interviews?

And I was like, no.

We've had a few guests on over the years.

We've had our friend Kate and we've had a couple of other friends, Andy and John come on.

But yeah, it's so difficult just to get ourselves organized, let alone a third or fourth person is very tricky.

I'm happy to guest on other shows, which I've done quite a few times.

But again, it's just trying to get schedules lined up with children and jobs and everything else.

Yeah.

You and I have been doing this for so long, we're in tune that we know we need to podcast once a month, twice a month, whatever it is, or three times a month sometimes.

We know we need to do that, so I think we both, it's quite a lot.

It's our lifestyle, it's a part of our lives, do you know what I mean?

So when you don't guest on someone else's, it's sometimes hard to arrange that, like you say.

Well, as I always say to you, Gav, and although you do all the technical behind the scenes bits for this show, I do a lot of the writing and research, so it's a collaborative effort.

When I guest on somebody else's show and you feel the same, Oh, when you don't have to do anything?

I just sit back and talk shit and it's brilliant, you know, particularly, and I'll give a shout out to Eternal Darkness of The Not-So-Spotless Mind, I've been on their show twice now, that's Kate and Matt.

I'm hoping for a third invitation, I believe, sometime in the future, I'll be coming back on that show again.

When I get on with those guys, because I know Kate especially, and me and Matt seem to just gel, just put my feet up, just get a bit more sweary than I normally would, I don't know why, and I just sort of take the piss, you know, just have a great time, relax, don't have to worry about it, just freestyle it.

Yeah.

I'm like a freestyle rapper in the booth.

Freestyle podcaster.

Yeah.

Yeah, baby.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Oh, he's bringing it up.

So let's get this elephant in the room out of the way.

Don, we're going to be talking about Will Smith.

No, I'm afraid he's got a new song out.

You know, any 50 year old married man who should really be still apologizing for his antics at the Oscars three years ago.

Of course, what sort of song would they release?

They'd release a song.

They'd release a song they probably would have released and should have released when they were 16 in their band DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

But instead he's released it now and it's a song that's called Girls, Girls, Girls, I Like Pretty Girls.

Ain't no girl, ain't too pretty for me.

And it's just terrible.

And then he performed it, I say he performed it.

He half-arsedly wrapped it in the middle of London.

In the middle of London, loads of people around him just kind of standing there and everyone just kind of looking.

The odd head nodding.

But for such a big crowd, that must have been quite embarrassing.

He must have been like, I'm just going to go with it.

You want him to do the classics.

You don't want a new song.

That's weird.

But it seemed like it was like, oh, please like me.

Yeah.

So there we go.

So Gavin, my friend, I hope you're well.

I know you are.

You look well.

And let's talk about what we've been watching.

You also look well.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks, my friend.

I got a very shiny head because I shaved it today.

Look at that.

It's that time of year again, where we've not much got much clothes on.

I've got no top on.

I'm wearing a string vest and you've got nothing on.

That's just how we rock it on for The Greasy Strangler.

He doesn't look like Rabsy Ness, but he actually looks more like a basketball plaque.

It's more like a basketball vest.

It's not a string vest.

Well, you know what I mean.

But you've been watching some TV shows, you said.

Anything you want to mention?

No, not really.

I've just been watching stuff.

No, I've been watching the normal, my go tos.

My go tos is Sunday In Philadelphia.

There's a new season of that coming out soon.

Yep.

But yeah, that's a go to for me.

Night Times, that or Family Guy, be rocking that.

I haven't really been watching.

I did watch a few things with Sarah last time I was with her, but I don't know if it's such a long, it's been quite a while ago now.

When did we last podcast?

It feels like ages ago.

It probably wasn't though.

No, not really.

I don't think I've seen Sarah then.

So I've not got much to talk about.

I've been following the P Diddy Trial every day of Law and Order or something, not Law and Order, it's a program, Law and Something on YouTube, a channel which follows it completely.

And I've just been doing that really, and being creative writing music, and I pulled out the old pop album the other day that I started.

Oh yeah.

Like four years ago.

And a few tracks in there are pretty good.

I was like, oh, I might just do a little bit of music.

So I've been toying with music a little bit because we're just, we're slightly halted with Deadbolt Films at the moment, trying to make a feature film.

Unless anyone out there wants to give us a few hundred.

A hundred thousand pounds?

Well, no, it's probably like 300, 400,000.

That'd be great.

Yeah, thanks.

We'll take a hundred.

We'll take a hundred to start with.

We've been working on the Tell In, which is Ben's film, which is really fantastic.

A little short film.

We've got the other ones we're good to do.

We're working out.

One's going to be in Mexico and one's set in Japan.

So we're going to cheat that, obviously, cause we can't afford to go there.

We're going to cut some trailers up for those ones.

And that's nearly finished, be doing that.

But yeah, been trying to get 2.5 second shot of a chainsaw going through some guts.

Last Monday, we set it up for ages.

This whole body with all these, we even got sausage skin and packed it with spam and stuff.

And we did all this stuff, made all these effects, all this elaborate stuff.

And I had to hold the body with a chainsaw next to me, go, rrrr, at 11 o'clock at night in the front garden.

For sure, neighbours loved it.

Smoke machine, everything, a massive light, to be the moonlight.

Chainsaw, and it all fucked up.

It's like this 2.5 second shot.

We've spent hours setting this up and it hasn't worked.

All right, OK, let's try again another day.

Shit like that, you know, and it's like, for fuck's sake.

It's so hard to make films.

It really is at times.

It's so hard.

So many things against you to make a film.

If Jackie Chan can throw himself through a window 50 times to get one 2 second shot, then you can do it.

I believe in you.

Yeah, we get it.

It's just an issue.

We've gone through numerous chainsaws that just get breaking on us.

We went and bought a brand new chainsaw and the blade was too small.

It doesn't match the shot before, which is a massive chainsaw blade.

And then we tried to change the blades and it jammed.

And I was like, this is not good.

So yeah, I've been doing that stuff.

When you buy a chainsaw, make sure you go in covered in blood and dirt.

Well, we finished doing it because we had so much fake blood that Ben and I made.

We made buckets of fake blood.

It all went out onto the street and this car came by this mini.

It's quite late at night with these teenagers in it.

And they're like, what are you guys doing?

And we're like, well, we're making like a, it's like something for a TV show.

Oh, oh, can we, can we watch?

Can we come out?

It's like, no, you know, you can't carry on.

You're like, but there's men just at that point, there's blood pouring down his drive, which is a down slope goes into the road and it just, it kept making like a lake of blood at the end of his road.

We were like fucking out, we had to get the hose out at like one o'clock in the morning, brushing it down with moonlight on us.
