THE PODCAST ON HAUNTED HILL EPISODE 184 - THE BOOGENS (1981) and SQUIRM (1976)
The podcast on Haunted Hill will contain spoilers and swearing. I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil's work.
One of us.
Hello and welcome to the podcast on Haunted Hill episode 184. My name is Gav. My name is Dan. We are together Gav Dan or Dan Gav. Gav.
Yeah, welcome, everybody. If it's your first time... Then welcome, Brent. If you're a returning guest... Then welcome back. And if it's your first time... No.
If you're a casual. Just if you're just whatever. Just slipping around the side. Just slipping around the side. Welcome, everybody. Thank you very much for coming along again. We don't normally just, if it is your first time, we don't normally just go.
But we don't script either. We are pretty much a freestyle. We're like 80s rappers of the podcast world, aren't we Dan? We are. I've always thought that about us. You never edit and we just freestyle it and whatever comes out of our brains at the time and place.
place in the moment in the universe then that happens and we record it and then you guys wherever you are in the universe indulging it orally in your ear holes and it's worked well for almost 12 years so you know
It seems to be fine. Yeah, fuck it. So, this episode is one of our... Episode 184. And let me just polish this crown up here.
And that's all nicely polished up for our king patron. I don't know what cream used to polish that, but it sounds sticky. It's my special man polish.
And I polish this crown up for our king patron, Kevin S. Fife. Well done, Kevin. Kevin S. Fife. I always want to say it in training man voice. Kevin, he selected... a couple of sort of creature features slimy get under your skin type
movies one of which i'd never seen both both new for me i've not seen okay so he selected 1976 squirm about the killer worms
which I, in my head, I seem to have muddled over the years with slugs. Yeah. But I've definitely seen it before.
because I remember a few parts about it. Same amount of letters, starts with an S, creepy crawlies, slivery.
That's me. Well, we did have, obviously in the 70s, not to cut you off about what you're about to say, but very quickly, we did have in the 70s massive animal love horror, didn't we? Just all so much animal horror, Dave, the animals and...
All sorts, all sorts. Yeah. And even the wee squirmies as well. Yeah. Yeah, so Squirm, and that's being paired up with a movie that neither of us had seen, and that is Buggins.
from 1981, which I'd never even heard of, never seen, until Kevin suggested it. Yeah.
I can't wait to talk about these two movies. So that's what he's going to be talking about. Obviously, he sent us in a fantastic email, which I'm going to be reading out just before we get into our reviews. So, Kevin, you are the king. You sit on the throne for this episode in your newly polished...
crown um and i'll try and fit in as many innuendos in your endo as i can because i know you're a big fan of our innuendos so there'll be a lot of those as much as i can anyway i'll try what i'm trying to say is i'll fit in as much as i can
He'll slip in as much as he can. Even that's an innuendo in itself. So...
How are you, my lovely friend? Yeah, well, no real complaints, really. I'll tell you what. There you go. Here's one. It's fresh in my mind. Otherwise, if it's anything past six hours, then you've got no chance for me.
down the gym earlier and just just people don't put weights away it's not many of them every once in a while you get someone that doesn't put the weights away and it's like trip hazards and shit or you just don't leave weights just there and this dude the first thought was on uh
barb hall type thing, whatever, which is for your biceps, and they just left weights on, was that? Okay, fair enough. And some other people got on there, then they just left them, but they were newbies as well, I've never seen these guys.
anyway and then he did it again but just with dumbbells and literally left them next to the bench between benches just there and just left them that is a trip And it's funny, when I went over to him, he had this sort of unique look and I couldn't help but look at this man.
And he's in his tight white top, quite muscular and that. And a little moustache. Not saying he looked like Hitler. Dark hair, sort of coming down to the side. A few tattoos. And he had an Indian tattoo down his arm. And then I looked at his flask, his little drink.
And it's a Red Hot Chili Peppers drink cup.
Oh, my God. You think you're Anthony Keyless from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And I was like, oh, my God. That makes it even worse. There's nothing wrong with chili peppers. I like chili peppers. But that makes it worse that you think you're just trying to be...
which is really bad and you're leaving dumbbells everywhere what you should have said to him Gav is see these dumbbells see these dumbbells mate put them away put them away put them away now put them away put them away put them away now that's what you should have said you see
if I'd done that I'd be hilarious because he would have known what's up and then he would have just been like yeah so what it's just the fact that and then he would have said I don't well I don't know where they go do they go here and you would have gone no you've got to take them on the other side I don't know
I don't know what that one is. I'm sure if I'd sat there for a while, I could probably come up with some beauts. And I was just taken aback by the whole, looking down there, it's like this flask, red hot chili peppers, and I was like...
Oh, my God. I had that Jaws moment. The camera went back and forth on me.
He thinks he's Anthony from Chili Peppers. This is really weird. The only time I've ever done that in my life is when I tried my best. When you were like 16 or something? I was about 13 or 14. Okay, yeah.
Identities are hard to discover, aren't they? And you'll understand why it didn't work for obvious reasons when I tell you who. I tried my best when I was 13 and 14 to look as much like Will Smith as I could. LAUGHTER
Don't, please don't tell me. You sort of just, I'm just going to, Mum, you got any boot polish or anything? No, it wasn't anything like that. No, it was basically, I came, during the summer, I had...
a moustache come in over the summer when i was about 13 and went back to school thinking i think i look like the fresh prince of bel-air
And we already dressed like some of my friends. We all wore the bright colours anyway and stuff, like the neon. Because I've always been into hip-hop, as you know, baseball caps and that. But I just, in my head, I just thought, yeah, I think I look like Will Smith.
So wrong. So, so wrong. But you don't know. I remember, because I've always been a skater. I wear the sort of skateboardery, hip-hopery type clothes. I always sort of have the, I guess, baggy jeans like I used to. But I had all my buddies I skated with all the time.
And the train station's where we skated just around the corner from my parents' house, which was brilliant for me. Except not brilliant for my parents, because all the kids would come back to my house and pie at my house. But apart from that, it was cool.
But for two days, randomly, I was just like to the guys, yeah, I'm not coming out skating. They're like, why not? I said, I don't know. I thought I was a raver.
For two days, I wore a record bag and like a duffel, like this kind of ravery jacket. And I walked downtown a couple of times with a beanie on as well. And I walked past them. And they were like, what are you doing, you idiot? I'm just going to go downtown. For two days, I thought I was a ravery.
And then that just wore off and I was like, oh no, I'm just me who skates, you know.
I've done that. Funny enough, with rave. It's an identity though, isn't it? When I was about 15, I decided to listen to rave music for about a month. And I still do like old school rave music, don't get me wrong. Like the old school stuff from the early 90s.
But after a month of listening to it, I was like, oh, I just missed the hip hop. So I went back to it. Anyway, that's enough tangents about that. And if we were covering the movie Identity, that would have been perfect.
It would have been perfect, but we're covering worms and mind monsters, so we're not. Even in itself, that's a sexual innendo. We've got holes of wiggly worms in two movies together. Before we get into what we're watching...
what we've been watching yeah a couple of watching now because that'd be rude if we were just watching something while we were recording um i just have a quick shout out to our friends over on the eternal sunshine of the not so spotless
sorry eternal darkness i always get the name wrong eternal darkness of the not so spotless minds kate and matt for anyone who hasn't listened to that show
Turn of Darkness of the Not-So-Spotless Minds. There's a Facebook page and you can find it anywhere you listen to this show, really. It's a great show. And we're friends with them. I've been on that show a couple of times. Obviously, Gav, you mentioned them in our last episode because you met up with them at Fright Fest. Yeah.
And I've known Keith for a long, long time. I don't think I mentioned the episode, actually. I do apologise. I was chatting away about those two individually, and I don't think I named the episode, and I meant to drop it, so I do apologise. No worries, no worries. So I was chatting away to them, and they gave me a little shout-out.
on the last episode which dropped a couple of days ago and i was chatting to them this afternoon and just said oh i'll give you guys a shout out so they've given me some specific messages to read out gab are you happy for me to do this
Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. Okay. Interpollination of podcasters. That's exactly right. Interpollination of podcasters. That could be a fantastic name for a podcast in itself. Yeah.
Kate says to let you know that she's also booked tickets to go and see the Nosferatu Radiohead thing. Because you mentioned that.
Cool. Yeah, I need to have a look in the cinema and go, I literally thought about today and thought, fuck, I need to figure out when that is. And I was just chatting about that to someone yesterday, actually, randomly. She said she's watching it in the beautiful city of Bath.
which is in the southwest of England. I'm going to watch it in the beautiful town of Shower. Oh, very funny. I see what you did there. She said, also...
Thanks for the shout out and tell Gav I owe him a pint for introducing me to Nick Vince as he's now one of her clients at Twisted Thorn Publishing. So Kate's got her own business now where she's...
publishing um manuscripts documents books etc oh so he's now one of her clients that's good because i in fact i've actually been trying to become one of her clients also because i've got a book too for her to do um
Yeah, that's really cool. It's nice to do that, though. It's nice to put people in touch with each other. Yeah, networking, networking. She also says, happy October. Love you guys. Oh, and by the way, I'm listening to a newest episode, which meant I put the wrong postcode in.
and drove and been driving for an hour in the wrong direction so i have to go back the other way now so
Oh, shit, because we were... Oh, no. Because you just listened to us chatting shit. Yeah, I did that once. I was driving along and I was halfway to London and I went...
what the fuck am I going to London for? I was supposed to go in literally the other part of the country. And I was like, oh, what the shit? Because I was really just into a podcast.
Matt, however, says don't get caught with a giant tentacle dildo rammed up your arse over the Halloween period while you're watching your 31 Stephen King films.
I will try my best. Sarah and I are on holiday in a seaside town, so if there's any chance of tentacles, it's going to be then, I guess.
I feel like that one might have been more aimed at me as I'm doing 31 Stephen King films, but even so, both of us probably should watch out for tentacles. I think everyone should watch out for the tentacles.
Kate also says, don't get tapeworms, because I told her what we were covering in this episode, squirm, etc. So don't get a tapeworm. They're so yucky, those really long, thin ones. Yeah.
So there you go. There's your shout-out, guys. As I said, go check their shout-out if you're not already listening to it. The Eternal Darkness of the Nautilus Spotless Minds. Yeah, very good. Good friends of ours. Indeed. And good people. Worms are weird, aren't they?
They fucking are mate. They are weird.
They are weird. I'm just thinking about that. Before we talk about worms and all that kind of stuff. Thanks for the message, guys. I do appreciate it. And I did very much enjoy hanging out with you guys at Frightfest. So hopefully we can do it next year. And, yeah, we should all get together.
at some point in some part of the country get everyone together somehow I don't know how totally agreed totally agreed I still haven't met Matt in the flesh it might we what would be more sensible is we just did a big teams thing everyone chatted today and we met up for like do you know what I mean
That would be sensible. That would be really sensible. But then you can't touch people. And I like to touch people. Maybe that's safer that we're through teams then.
Dan's locked in the corner of the room with Hannibal Lecter. Is he all right? Yeah, he's a bit of a toucher. He's a toucher. He likes to touch. They call him P. Diddy. They call him the toucher. So...
what have we been watching well gab i'm going to kick things off obviously it's october and we'll get into what that means for us horror fans in a moment but aside from our 31 days and all that kind of business
first of all happy october to all of you listeners and to gav and everybody daniel son spooky season is upon us um a couple of things i just wanted to quickly check off
um have you did you watch this finale yet of alien earth yeah sarah and i did it at the weekend managed to get together to do the last two episodes it's really good but i it was weird though because i was hoping it's not really spoiler i thought it was going to conclude possibly i was hoping almost it was one off but
I'm happy for it to continue. Same, yeah. Without spoilers. To be honest, it's made so much money for Disney Plus. I think people have enjoyed it, and it's probably done a lot of views.
It's been really, really good. And I think a lot of the actors in that who haven't been in stuff will go on to do big things or will see a lot of careers move forward in that. I know some of the acting can be a bit ropey at times, but I thought the story was great and it was a really different...
fresh take on the Alien franchise. Really enjoyed it. That episode in the middle though is still one of the greatest pieces of TV horror I've ever seen. That's episode five or whatever it might have been.
Really, really good. You never know. I might even throw that in for one of my Halloweens, just that one episode. It is so good. When you said it as a standout, I was like, oh, yeah, you could.
Yeah, it's so good. It's not that episode of Black Mirror with Kurt Russell's son. Sometimes I just watch that episode on its own. Because obviously Black Mirror is all independent stories. No, no, no, no. Because I pick and choose. I've gone back and watched that one a few times, actually. This is fantastic.
It's up Gav Street.
It's right up your street. Oh, it's right up my street. I watched my first actual, even though I know of Paul Natchy, Spanish actor, even though I know of him,
I've never re-watched any of his films I might have done I don't know so Sarah and I the other night quite late we watched Werewolf Shadow oh yes and that was quite good you know um it was i quite like his werewolf it's the standing upright it's just a man
It's like the old school Universal ones. He's sort of wearing trousers usually, isn't he? Yeah, it's not in all fours. It's stand-up. But it's like the Universal ones, but with more hair and more actual teeth and loads of hammer red blood.
And because it's Spanish, it's a different take on it, but it's a bit more visceral. And yeah, it works well. It's quite good. I quite enjoyed it. I've seen a couple of his movies. It's on Prime.
in the UK. Yeah, you know what you're getting with Paul Nachi werewolf movies? I've seen probably three, I'd say. He's done a few of them, hasn't he? Yeah. He's the Spanish werewolf king.
some might say okay well a tv show just one more tv show that i wanted to mention and it's marvel gav but it's called marvel zombies um so marvel did i saw the trailer yeah so marvel did the animated show what if
They did three seasons of that, which is basically taking what's going on in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but saying, what if...
this person became the black panther what if that person became captain america which is kind of something they've done over the years in their comics you know stanley's even gone as far as to say what if superman was written by marvel and he's done that sort of thing as well you know um but
One of the more popular episodes was the zombie episode. Now, Marvel Zombies is a franchise that's been going since the 90s in comics, and there's various takes on it to do with, you know...
all the zombies all the heroes become zombies and there's only two of them left or whatever it is if you can imagine what it must be like as the hulk as a zombie and all that kind of stuff you can only imagine so they made a four episode mini series which i'm surprised they didn't drop
for halloween but they dropped it at the end of september and i watched all four episodes in the same evening and it was it was so bloody and brutal and violent and really good and blade was in it i saw spider-man
spider-man ripping up there's one part of a spider-man it's not spoilers in the trailer he sort of does his webs to like 20 different heads of zombies so he's got like 10 webs in each hand then he does a big jump flips through the air
pulls really hard and all these 10, 20 heads will just come off these zombies with spinal columns coming out the back. I might. It's so good. I might see if Elijah wants to watch it with me tomorrow. You, I don't think you'll like it because you'll be too confused by who all the characters are because it's not all like mainstream stuff.
I'm just going to watch superheroes fight zombies. Blade is one of the best things in it. Blade is just, because obviously he's a vampire.
But he's also got the powers of Moon Knight in it. So he's called Blood Knight. So he's got this big cape and he can speak to this big Egyptian god. But also he's Blade. So he can just take out the zombie. He's not afraid of them. He's just like, I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
And he just takes them all out. I'd love to see where things place. I'd like to do this in more everything else. I want to see Dirty Harry versus Zombies. It's a zombie outbreak and Dirty Harry wakes up and he's like, oh man, you know.
So that, Marvel Zombies, highly recommend it if you're a Marvel fan or a zombie fan or a bit of both. Gav, have you got another one you wanted to... Just think about Clint Eastwood. What are you jive-talking, motherfuckers? What's up with you guys?
And then shoots him with his magnet. He's undead. And he blows through like five zombie heads together with the magnet. Dirty Harry. I watched a new movie, Sarah and I. We've been doing all right recently. We're going to look at a movie.
And without too much hardship, find one. We did it last time when I chatted to you before when we watched The Cave and some other bits and bobs I talked to you about, didn't I? I talked about weapons in that last episode, yeah. We found a new one.
um it was a good watch it so check it out i was like yeah okay um i felt it lost its way before i say what it is i felt it lost its way a little bit um towards the end i'd like to have packed up a little bit before um but it's called novocaine
I've heard of it. I've seen it on Prime, I think. It's on Paramount. I've got a subscription to Paramount. Yeah, that's where I've seen it. It's kind of like, yeah, Unbreakable, essentially. But it's a guy who can't feel pain. Ooh.
And he works in a bank and the bank gets robbed and the girl that he started banging gets taken kidnapped. I love that. Started banging. Started a relationship with. No, it might start. All right.
yeah and uh and she's taken kidnapped
So he's like, right, I'm fucking going after them. But it's quite funny whenever he goes to do stuff and it just doesn't feel pain. So all these big criminals, big old guys are hitting him, fighting him loads. He just keeps getting up. Look, look, please stop. The whole time, look, look, I'm telling you.
whole tire so it's quite fun if you want something new to watch which is original enough to watch um you know it's kind of like unbreakable it is different and it's kind of tongue-in-cheek um it's all right but i felt it kind of
dwindled a little bit went a little bit long and it should but yeah it's quite cool it sounds a bit like um kick ass because it's it's kind of yay kick ass and yeah uh
kind of not John Wick what's the other one I'm nobody kind of more that with that sort of character rather than John Wick where Keanu Reeves he kind of he's an assassin in a suit and he looks on the part this guy's just a fucking dude who works a bank with a shirt and tie so that's the sort of
difference if that makes sense that sounds all right yeah it's worth a watch i'd say watch it actually i'm not gonna say it's not bad it's actually it's more entertaining it's more worth watching than not so yeah yeah and other people be like no the ending's fine because it's just me in it so you know
the only other one I wanted to mention is a very old one which has been on my watch list for a long time from 1971 starring Mia Farrow
the version means baby is this was this yesterday's uh from uh 31. no
Okay. This was from about a week ago. It's called See No Evil or Blind Terror, it was called in the UK. And...
She plays a blind girl. That's so weird. Sarah and I have randomly came up and Sarah and I looked at the trailer at the weekend for this movie.
It's really good, really good. That's so weird. She basically goes to stay with her auntie and uncle and her cousin. Was it on Prime or something?
yeah i think that must have been where we saw and then we watched the trailer from that okay um and because she's blind she sort of
It was working away around the house. She kind of knows the house. And then someone comes in her house and kills the entire family. It was suggested to me.
Sorry to knock you off. YouTube channel. It's like a YouTube channel. I kind of watch where a dude just talks about films. He's on this. How random is that? How weird is that? You're watching that and I'll watch that. Yeah. It's just been on my watch list. Sorry. Anyway, the family gets killed.
The family gets killed. There's no spoiler, because I won't give anything away, but...
There's this horrible moment where she gets home late at night and doesn't realise everyone's dead because she's blind. And about three days later, the bodies are just lying there with blood everywhere. And she's walking around the house going...
uncle george smell something no not yet not yet and then there's like broken glass on the floor and you're like she's gonna stand in it and then you realize the killer's still in in the mansion uh it's really really really classy
great stuff um just a really good almost like a hammer horror almost but it feels like something that i don't know um
I don't know, it feels like a classy director. It's directed by Richard Fleischer, who I don't really know. But it's definitely worth a watch. It's got 6.6 on IMDb. I gave it 7 out of 10.
1971, See No Evil, Mia Farrow. I'm a fan of Mia Farrow. She does run Reboor quite well, doesn't she? She's brilliant in Rosemary's Baby. So highly recommend that. It's funny that you had it recommended to you. So definitely check it out, I would say, dude. You'll really enjoy that.
i will it's very it's very gab single location but she does kind of get out the mansion here and there but yeah it's good good stuff and it's a little bit of um a rural horror as well almost because yeah
There's some country bumpkins thrown in the mix as well. I've literally just started writing a script. I managed to get through nine pages the other day. I know the idea of the script. It is very...
not kind of cabin fever going to one location and it's very rural so yeah it's right up my street really what you're saying um uh i watched obviously weapons with my eldest recently
So I said to them, oh, the director did an alright movie before called Barbarian. So we sat and watched Barbarian the other night. And Charlie very much enjoyed that. Ask for a second watch of it then?
That's my I watch it twice the cinema. I watch it a fright fair and then I went to the cinema again and watched it Yeah, I so this actually probably my fourth or fifth you know of it
i've only seen it once but i really really really enjoyed it and i know that when i when i do get around to weapons i'm probably going to really enjoy that so as i said in the last episode weapons and barbarian we will do a double bill of that at some point on this show
Because I think they're both really... Well, I haven't seen weapons, but from what I hear, it's going to be a lot to talk about. And the same with Barbarian. You're really enjoying weapons. The director... Now, when the director did, he has a... I'd say... I would say...
unique writing style, but he's very much the Tarantino without that way, lots of play, lots of little stories in the movie.
you know we've got that in both films barbarian split two halves and you've also got a mini story in the middle as well you know and weapons kind of does that um in a different way just so it shows everyone's take of the day almost sort of thing um
Yeah, it was very good. So we watched that. They enjoyed that. And it's quite funny because he said when he was writing Barbarian that he just started writing it and he didn't know what was going to happen and just kind of let it go. And I don't like the end of Barbarian. I find it a bit weird. I like it when it's in the house.
When it leaves the house, it becomes almost a different film. It kind of loses it slightly, you know. I know what you mean. I remember the ending very well, yeah. And then Charlie said...
Do you want to do another movie? I was like, yeah, fuck it, all right. So we did a double bill. And we were going to watch Smile, but it wasn't anywhere around to watch without renting it out. And we didn't do that. I was like...
and i just kind of put on from dust till dawn while they're sitting there and then never seen from dusk till dawn so i just started watching that and um it's it's funny because from dusk till dawn is quite dated now in terms of a lot of things like
lots of times child is there going oh about some of the men in it and their actions and what they do and what's being said and uh you're like yeah yeah yeah and some of the visual effects are pretty bad like the uh
CGI stuff is real dated and looks like... What's that, 98? Something like that. So you can kind of give it a pass. It's a really fantastic film still. But at the same time, I was watching it like, I don't know if I'm going to keep this in my collection anymore.
does like it's okay i prefer i almost prefer just a movie about the gecko brothers yeah and not turn into that uh watching it now for like many years later looking at it I probably haven't seen it since we reviewed it many years ago for our Rodriguez episode.
I've got a huge tough spot for it, so I will probably keep it in my collection. I haven't had any reason to watch it again recently, but at some point I will. I think it's interesting. I think it's probably worth going back to maybe. It's interesting because I'm a hay accident.
yeah of course but I don't know watch it again it's like it's got some real classic bits in it some really cool bits but yeah I don't know talking of trying to emulate
Famous people. When we went to see that at the cinema, when it first came out... Look what I've got here, actually, randomly. Oh, yeah, that's the one on vinyl. Nope. Is that a Laserdisc? Yeah. Nice.
Yeah, when we went to watch that at the cinema, George Clooney's obviously got that huge tattoo all down his arm and children. And one of my friends, who isn't even my friend anymore,
He was very close with me and Rob and Dave, the guys I know very well. And he started getting that.
tattoo of George Clooney he got from his mid elbow to his shoulder the 90s have rang they want a tattoo it was it was like dude like this was before I started getting tattoos is this basically nowadays Anthony Kiedis down the gym
Yeah. Oh, no. And he's still got it. Obviously, he's got to live with that forever. I don't know him anymore. I haven't spoken to him for 10 years. Because I was watching it and it got to that end bit and he takes the jacket off.
He looks cool with it. In my mind, when I saw that when I was 21, 22, I don't know, fucking 19, 20, whatever.
Still a young kid, impressionable. I watched that, I was like, man, George Cooney is cold as fuck. Like, toes, he's fucking stacked and all the shit. He looks at him now, he's like, he doesn't have one bit of muscle on his arm. Nothing. He literally goes down like a beanstalk.
and it's just got this real shit tattoo on it. I was like, God, how times have changed.
I know, I know. Very scinted glasses. So, yeah, if you've got that tattoo, bad, bad, bad. I'm sorry, people out there, if you have tattoos and they're tribal tattoos. They are very 90s.
But what did you double bill it with? I'm guessing. Can I guess? No, it was Barbarian and From Dust to Dawn. Oh, sorry, sorry. I do apologise. That's a double bill. Perfect. Very nice, very nice double bill. I thought you were going to say...
Planet Terror, I thought you were going to say. No, no, it's nice to hang out with my oldest and just watch some horror movies with them. I was like, let's quickly go down and get some snacks and came back and everyone else was away, so it's cool.
Well, talking of which, before we get into Kevin's email then, very quickly, it's October, as we've said. So yesterday was the first day of October. I sat down with my two children.
my four-year-olds, and we watched Monster House, which we've reviewed on this show, and I know you're a big fan of as well. And they were glued to it for the full hundred and...
i don't know was it 140 minutes maybe um they absolutely loved it we got a bowl of popcorn and some halloween sweets and we all sat and watched it and there was a few moments where they were a little bit
oh daddy it's a bit scary but you know they're only four uh but they've really really enjoyed it so i'm planning on doing a few films with them this this because they're at school now they finish earlier they can come home in the afternoon we're gonna watch hubby halloween scooby-doo the reluctant werewolf
You know, all of these kind of stuff that we love, you know. I've got to pick a few that I think they're going to like. Goosebumps, the movies, another one I think I'm going to do with them. A couple of those. But I started my 31 Days of Stephen King. So it took me...
a lot of energy but i watched the original it from 1990 which is just over three hours because obviously these days people regard it as a film even though it was originally a two-part series and how is it as a standalone watch great
That's the only way I've ever really watched it, to be honest with you. Well, when I first watched it, it was over two nights on Sky 1. I didn't see it like that. I think someone recorded that.
on the same tape and i watched it in one sitting so i've only ever watched it in as one sitting but it works well it still holds up well it's got a fantastic cast all the way through it um i think i still prefer it to the remake
But the remake is fantastic, don't get me wrong. But it was a good way to start my Stephen King list. And then I watched Sometimes They Come Back, which is a great... I forgot.
I quite enjoy that. It's very much a Dan film. Bullies getting their comeuppance, a cool car, a bit like Chris. There's a lot of Christine in it, actually. And it's got that guy in it who was in Vamp.
nightmare on street 2 and a few other things you'd know him if you saw him um so it's good yeah so i'm enjoying it i'm enjoying it and you started your list haven't you you started with smile but you weren't that into smile
no i didn't really like you very much um yeah i'm gonna try my best i'm away for a week with the kids this month i'm away for a week
with Sarah as well this month. So that's cool with Sarah. We will bang out a lot of movies. So to be honest, the movies I don't do in the week with the kids, I'll probably bang out doubles with Sarah because we're away on holiday and we can do that.
Yes, I'm going to try my best. I've got a few things I want to watch. I can tell you, actually. I've planned a couple of things. I'm like, I want to watch these movies because I just enjoy these films.
i almost have like some autistic way of looking at all this and i i was like it has to be 31 and i must do this and i must and i give myself rules and make it unfun you know um i want to watch return of dead
Again, I really enjoyed that. I want to watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the one with Jeff Goldblum. I want to watch my VHS tape of Silver Bullet.
I want to watch Misery again. I want to watch Carry On Screaming again. Yeah, yeah. I want to watch the original Cabin Fever again. And I was going to watch Hell House LLC, but I might do all the Hell House movies as well.
Nice. I still haven't seen the fourth one. Well, the new one's just come out. Is that not the fifth one? The lineage.
I know you've seen the fourth one, and you talked about it about a year ago. Yeah, fourth's okay. Fourth's all right, actually. Yeah, fifth one's just coming out at the moment, and it's not found footage. It's not found footage. It's the first one going in cinemas, but it's actually just like a proper movie.
And obviously that's weirdy weird. Weirdy weird? That's weirdy weird. That's really weird. Because if you've got your hardcore fan bases, fan footage fans, it doesn't...
They're going to be unhappy if you go to normal, and they have been unhappy with it, I've seen. You've got to kind of stick to the formula after four films, haven't you? Yeah, I know. I'd be interested to watch Hell House as a not regular film.
but imagine if suddenly paranormal activity went to just a normal and then it's not scary anymore is it in the slightest you can do it the other way where like if they did a jay film that was a fine footage
Well, they did want to do the... Because if they ever make another one, it's going to be part 13, in fact. I do remember Adam Green said he went into an office meeting and they pitched him Friday the 13th and it was a foul footage movie. And Jason had a camera.
No, no, no. That wasn't many years ago, though, so, yeah. I'm looking forward to his next film, though, basically Frozen, but in higher balloons. Oh, nice. Jesus, that would be scary.
Yeah, and he actually went up and shot, like, you know, in balloons, so. I can quickly reel off.
my list if you want or shall i not bother with that um you can do i was gonna say very quickly i was working away earlier and i was in a lift and all of a sudden it dropped probably like a floor
Bang! It's just bouncing.
i was like what the fuck and then the doors opened up and then they tried to shut it goes oh i'm out of there hopped out and grabbed all my shit i was like fuck that i'm not going back in there and then after that i tried calling it again just to see and he's like nah buttons weren't lighting up i was like that's stuck somewhere i
told you i climbed out of a lift once when it was halfway through floors didn't i oh you did yeah yeah that was very silly but i didn't know any better i was only 13 or something doing my paper round so
I bet you were fucking going, this is the worst day to be dressed as Will Smith, getting out of this lift. I freestyled my way out of the lift. Yeah, Stephen King month I'm doing, and I tell you, it's really cosy.
i love most stephen king films i'm not doing i'm only doing horror
So, unfortunately, I won't be doing Stand By Me unless I can squeeze that in somewhere along the way. Essentially, you did do a TV show, but classed it kind of as a long movie. Yeah. And you're not really doing TV shows, are you?
I'm doing TV movies, but not TV shows. Yeah, that's right. So obviously I've done it. Sometimes they come back. I'll be doing Cat's Eye, Thinner.
Cell, which we recovered quite recently. Dreamcatcher, which I haven't seen for years. Maximum Overdrive, of course. The Dead Zone, the ice.
Children of the Corn, The Running Man, any excuse to watch an Arnie movie, and it is written by Stephen King, so I've got to watch that. Graveyard Shift, Tales from the Dark Side, the movie, The Dark Half. You could do the new Running Man as well.
I suppose I could when it comes out. It's out soon, isn't it? I think it's going to stream in as well.
Graveyard Shift, Tales from the Dark Side, the movie, The Dark Half, 1408, Gerald's Game, In the Tall Grass. I'm going to re-watch The Monkey. I only watched that last month and I really enjoyed it, so I'm going to watch that again.
The Mist, which, oh, that ending, now I'm a dad. I'm not sure if I'm able to take that. Misery.
As you can tell, towards the end of the list, I've got all the classics in here. Misery, Firestarter, Cujo, Christine, Sleepwalkers, Pet Sematary, again, now I'm a dad. Ooh, baby. Silver Bullet.
Salem's Lot, Creepshow. I suppose Salem's Lot is a TV show technically, isn't it? It was. It was premiered overnight. Salem's Lot and then Creepshow, Creepshow 2. Then I'm doing The Shining and Doctor Sleep Double Bill.
then carry and then i'll be finishing up the month with it chapter one and it chapter two so i'm bookending my month with it pennywise so i started with him and i'll finish with him so that's my stephen king and then along the way i might throw in
John Carpenter's Halloween, Who Be Halloween, that kind of stuff. You know, we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself this year, but I'm really looking forward to the coziness that comes with watching a Stephen King film.
I was in a car the other day, and I did a little bit of reading because I was a passenger. And I don't read very much, and it's a shame because I never finished it. But I started reading The Raft, the short story, which is the Creepshow 2. Yes.
And I was reading that and I was quite enjoying it. Then I went to sleep because I'm like a baby when I get in a car. If I'm not driving. His short films, his short stories are fantastic. You know, Silver Bullet was a short story, you know, and when done right, they can turn them into...
really great movies but that's what we've started watching but this is an episode that kevin s5 is the king of because it's a page so before we go into a trailer for
boogans from 1981 uh i'm gonna read you his kevin's email because he sent us a glorious email which i'm going to read out now do it do it now do it now so he says okay
I am so happy it's my turn again. I'm especially excited to hear both of your thoughts on these two creature features. At this point if you're paying attention and I think Dan might be but I'm not as confident about Gav.
My patron picks usually have a theme. My first two were big scary mansion movies with The Changeling and The Legacy. I really enjoyed covering those two films, Gav. That was a really good episode. I've still got to go visit that fucking house.
Yeah, that was a really great episode. My last picks were two of my favourite Jello's, or is it Jally? I still haven't figured out that. With Torso and Tenebrae, and again, that was a great episode as well. Now, I did notice, come on, come on, come on. I did notice, I did notice there was a feature.
with those actually so yeah this time around yeah absolutely so do appreciate that absolutely he says this time around i've chosen to go the ooey gooey route with the late 70s shocker squirm and the early 80s mountain cave crawlers the boogans
He says, okay, where do I start? The beginning, I guess. So I was born in July 1970. Oh, wait, that's going too far back. He's a funny guy. He's a funny guy. I like it.
As mentioned in my previous letters, I love the way he says that, my father got me into horror at a very young age and it's one of my favourite things he's left me with. Nothing was better than going to the drive-in with my dad to watch scary shit.
These two movies are no exception. I've got very distinct memories of seeing both of these films upon release. Squirm being at the drive-in where I saw a great deal of the 70s horror movies. Lucky, very lucky to go and see all that. I'm just sitting there back here going, it's such an American thing and it's such a...
a thing I'd love to have had as a kid my memories were going to drive through with my dad to watch horror that sounds so fucking cool my dad took me to watch Octopussy in the cinema yeah that's about it really
uh he says and i saw um the boogins at the local multiplex and by multiplex i mean it was a twoplex this was long before multiplex days but they called it a multiplex you know both of these movies have fantastic titles
I mean, both titles just sound scary as hell. What the fuck even is a buggin'?
The word is not even mentioned in the movie, am I right? It is actually mentioned once in the movie. And I thought at first I was writing it in, I was writing Bogans, and that's an Australian sort of, you know, hit type.
You know. Yeah, like a surf guy or something, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he says, but somehow the titles still work.
Then there's the amazing poster art. Both of these films have memorable poster art, but it's really the trailers for me. They both have grimy, gritty, scary-ass trailers. You know, speaking of trailers, I miss the horror movie trailers of the 70s and 80s, where there was literally...
one guy doing the voiceovers and he always sounded creepy as fuck he said
He puts a quote there, starting this Friday, check your local listings. Yeah, it was great, actually. Always, like, when a person started talking, you're like, oh, nice. We're in movie world again. We're back here. We haven't left for long. We're back sitting down looking at some movie. In a world.
Yeah, it's great. It's that guy again. It's that voice, you know. Yeah.
If you thought Jason Voorhees was dead, think again. You know, it's always that kind of thing, isn't it? I'm making that fake trailer with my son, Elijah as a ninja. And once I do it, I will put a voiceover over the top as well.
of course yeah he says okay i'm getting off topic which is par for the course on this podcast i was gonna say that's me all over and you yeah
yeah uh he says ha i love you all going off on tangents especially the sexual adventure stories that you share sometimes that's you as well it's not me it's always you and the endless conversations about kevin bacon's bacon
You again. That's me.
He says, OK, I need to focus. Another thing I love about both of these movies is the atmosphere. I mean, in Squirm, you can just feel how hot that summer was. And you can literally see and feel every bead of sweat coming down their faces. I felt like I could smell every camera.
characters armpits through the screen thank god there isn't smell-o-vision i say that's kind of how i feel with um frogs yeah i know what you mean yeah yeah yeah
He said, wow, after typing that about the armpits, I'm not sure if I'm either turned on or disgusted right now. Probably both. Disgusted. Then he says, and with the boogins, the snowy mountain setting is oozing with atmosphere too.
and the special effects chef's kiss nothing better than practical effects and these two movies really deliver i mean after you see the image of all those damn worms in the house you can never unsee that and the boogins can't honestly unsee those prehistoric turtle things either lol but i still
love the cheesiness of it all um i have a love for low budget low budget horror movies of the 70s and 80s and i have an extreme appreciation for the work in collaboration that goes into creating these shock treatments
I know you both agree, you even understand that more being movie filmmakers yourselves.
I'm excited to hear how you feel about these titles. And yes, I will not be offended by anything Gav says about these two gems. Lol. Lol, kidding. My heart will be broken and I'll sulk for days. Don't sulk for days. I'll try and be gentle.
Seriously though, thanks for all that you do, the laughs you bring, the breakdowns of the movies you provide and the countless minutes of me being stared at.
by the person in the car next to me as I'm screaming at my radio, usually correcting something you've said or providing an answer to something you're trying to remember. Like, that happened in part four, you goofs!
Yeah, we do get things wrong, that's why. Yeah, we absolutely do, and it's generally me.
He said, also, I wanted to provide a suggestion to the show since I have a captive audience at the moment. Perhaps the patrons could give you the subject of the time team or the Bill Murray segment. Now that I have a suggestion, not that I have a suggestion at the moment, lol, I'll just carry on.
So that's a good suggestion. If anybody's got anything they want us to cover for World of the Strange. Yeah, Sarah and I do the same with ours, the High Strangers podcast. We sort of say, anyway, if you've got any episodes, and we do get round to them. Some of them we don't as much, but yeah, we can do, for sure.
So wrapping up, he says, anyway, one more thing. Dan, I know you love Kevin Bacon's bacon, but I'm a Kevin too. You know, thus I have bacon and I love bacon.
You could give this Kevin's bacon some love sometime too. I'm just saying. Nice. Kevin's bacon's pork. It should be rather than Kevin's bacon bacon, I was going to say. But yes.
Thanks, Kev, for inviting Dan for some bacon. Oh, next time I'm overseas, I'll be sure to stop by for some bacon. And then he says, OK, I'm done now. I'm going to go back to watching the Slumber Party Massacre for the gazillions time.
cheers yeah yeah classic yeah um kevin that's fantastic thank you for the baking comments and thank you for listening and your support and i hope that we do your movies justice um
Gab will be gentle with you, and I'll be rough with you. Just to say very quickly, on your note about filmmaking and low-budget films of the 70s and 80s, it's really interesting because... uh it was obviously filming shooting a movie around then even though we call it like
low budget and you look at them they are low budget they're well they're less a budget than a standard warner brothers movie or something else we're watching rosemary's baby or something so but they are but it's it was so much harder then because they're shooting on film and stuff so like nowadays
very very easy to get a camera just down your fucking local shop and start shooting or even shoot on your phone so yeah even though you are low budget i think there's something with them because there's less um where nowadays low budget films
There's a million of them, you know, so... And they all look good. Low-budget films now all look good. They do, and...
there's there's certain charm there's like if you can make a film it's incredible that you can actually make a film even nowadays if you actually get a feature film finished it's just an achievement in itself um but yeah back in the day
It's quite nice, even though they would be low budget, they still have a charm about them. There's always something nice about them.
and that's horror for you because horror can get away with being so many different things these days or a low budget or a grind house or whatever it might be And we appreciate the craft and the hard work, like you do, Kevin, that goes into some of these lower sort of cult, lower...
loved cult movies you know and i'd never heard of the boogans and we'll be covering that in just a moment yeah um but you can see there's a great acting storytelling gone into that and plot you know that kind of stuff um
and squirm that must have been hard to make because they had to use a lot of fucking worms and that would have been very pleasant oh yeah they're still pretty well made movies actually both films funny enough which I noticed were both
Quite well acted. Directed, I think the Boogan's direction was pretty sparse. There was not much direction. I think they were all just doing what they had to do, their job, and followed the script. But both of them had really solid acting, and there was definitely...
Think about that with low-budget films back in the day as well. Generally, most of the time, the acting was pretty good. Nowadays, you chuck on Amazon Prime and watch some fucking... Some shit someone's just made and put out. It might not be the best acting.
I wonder if that was because more in the 70s horror films weren't...
They were still like The Exorcist and things like that. So you were thinking, I might make this worm movie and then this might springboard me onto something bigger. Absolutely. Especially for actors as well. Yeah, yeah. So both of them, I think the acting is pretty solid for all these films. But anyway.
We do need to get to a trailer because this has been a long introduction. It has been a long one, hasn't it, Gav? It has. Shall we get on to an intro and then we can talk about this film? Yeah, let's go to a trailer for The Buggins.
is no escape the boogans the boogans from 1981 rated r for pirates
95 minutes. A few miners prepared to open an old mine abandoned decades ago after a deadly accident, not knowing that the mine's tunnels, which are connected to the surrounding local community houses,
by bootlegging tunnels hide a deadly secret are they that they hide the bogans yes if that's what even these are so
I'd never seen this before. This is my first watch. Same for you, Gav. So I went into this really not quite knowing what to expect. And I will just say it now. I really enjoyed this. It was fun.
Good acting, like you said earlier. The creature effects aren't great, but I can imagine maybe in 1981 they were passable. They're kind of along the ghoulies too. All right, well...
i'm literally looking at the photos when we when we review a film i like to pull imdb up and i i sort of scan it as we're talking i go back through photos just to remind myself the movie i look at the cast etc and i'm looking straight around one of the first pictures after
front cover pictures is the picture of the
The thing at the end, the little kind of happy looking creature. Hey, I'm a creature. That's what it looks like he's saying, but it's blood all over his face. But you've got to remember also, going back to our previous conversation last time round a second ago.
We were discussing the shot on film, blah, blah, blah.
These movies, there's no way at any point they went, hopefully these movies will be streamed in high depth 4K restoration. They wouldn't know what that meant. I don't know what that means. They're just like on film. On film, sometimes effect artists knew.
what they were getting like well we can hide that on film and you go to watch it and like it works this is not the case so do you know what i mean it might have been better when it first came out um well they only had one creature
They'd made one creature for the whole movie, so they had to be careful with it as well. They shot it in five weeks. That's impressive.
So I'll think in five weeks. To be fair, there's not a massive amount of locations, but that kind of makes it more charming and more homely in a way. I can see where you like it, Kev. I can see where you like it, Dan. And it's kind of up my street, but...
i do have the issue with like not really any direction it feels it's this direction of course but it just doesn't feel very pushed it doesn't feel like we could really ghost i'm gonna amp this up and dude come on dude you know um
And it kind of ambles for a little while, I find. But it's just, you know, it's just a case of someone like myself after watching many a movie sitting in 2025 watching this movie from so many years ago.
And, yeah, they are. Some movies were a bit more like that, a bit more slow burn, especially around that time as well. You get people in the cinema, you want them to stay in the cinema for a little while and stuff, you know. Stephen King gave it a glowing review in 1981 in Twilight Zone magazine.
He wrote a mini-review saying it's a wildly energetic monster movie. And my last bit of trivia is that the Buggins is actually a term that's used by miners, or was anyway, to describe...
A spooky feeling they got when they were underground in the mines, you know? Like the boogeyman. It's linked to the name of the boogeyman, yeah. So you feel like, oh, I've got the boogans at the moment. That just sort of means to...
So that's kind of where the name comes from in this. But yeah, should we go into the shaft, the mine shaft? Yeah, totally. Like I said, the movie's totally well...
The acting's pretty solid, everybody's just doing their thing fairly well.
Very well produced, I think. Yeah, I think everything in there, the way it looks, everything is not done by first-time filmmakers. Let's have a quick look at this, director. You carry on. Yeah, yeah, that's nice. So we start off...
very similarly this reminded me of wrong turn so you start off with lots of old photos sort of telling you a little bit about
you know like in wrong turn they tell you a little bit about inbreeding and that kind of stuff this starts off with lots of old photos and newspaper clippings about mines and mining um
and that there's been they found some silver in the mines and lots of people going there to get the silver and then the headlines start changing to there's been a cave-in
People have potentially been killed in this cave-in. Oh my God, there definitely are dead miners. Oh my God, one of the guys escaped and someone said that there's something weird in the mine.
And that's kind of just a little bit of backstory about this. So this is obviously set in the present day, 1981. Yeah.
But something happened many years ago in these mines, which we'll find out what it was. So again, if you like, if you want to see like an early version of the descent, this is kind of like for you, really. It's kind of along those lines, isn't it?
um yeah in a certain way you don't have the claustrophobia as those films as such um but it's it's it's done fairly well the director very quickly went on to do a lot of tv actually macgyver
tour of duty star trek uh a lot of the star treks the deep space 9 voyager borg enterprise charmed uh smallville supernatural 90210 um aquarius with david
No, Figme Jiggy from X-Files. Yeah.
um okay fair enough he's done a few things i don't know personally i just feel it kind of just goes along but then again maybe that's the sort of film you kind of want to make with what you have here in this material you know um i guess look they had five weeks
um and like you said maybe the direction was there but he was lucky that the acting was there but then again yeah five weeks it's a fairly quick turnaround and it's a fairly decent storyline
Now, something that this movie and a lot more in Squirm have in common is they both feel like they could be slasher films. They have the atmosphere of an 80s slasher film. Especially with the very pretty-eyed lady. She's very pretty-eyed.
She's in the house alone at times. But even then, though, my notes will say it later on when it gets that. It's just no tension there. It's like, come on, we can really push this, unfortunately. But I understand why.
Kevin likes these movies for that reason Kevin loves his and slashers as well you know so also Kev it would have been I'd say for anyone any patrons that send movies in when
what age were you or when were you where were you when were you when you first watched the films because like you know for me i've got many a film which people be like really so yeah yeah but it's just because i watched it at a certain age and it just brought
good memories and good thoughts you know indeed indeed
So we're in the present day now. So after learning, you know, through that newspaper clipping service in credits about the mine that collapsed and there was potentially more than just a mine collapsing, something happened in there. My iPad notes changed it to mine's got shit down. Mine's got shit down.
I've got shit down my mind.
So we meet these guys whose job it is. They are here to... They're surveying the mines, aren't they, really? Yeah, they're there to reopen the mines, check if they're safe. By smacking them with a hammer. Bang, bang!
Thank you.
That's pretty full on, but I suppose you've got to go full on with it. And I guess they're mainly there to see if there actually is any silver in these mines as well, because it was reported that there was a ton of silver in these mines. It seems like surveying them are health and safety.
check first of all yeah well it's a bit late because
You know, they've been closed since 1912. It does seem... Yeah, it's like they've got better with age. But at the same time, they might be wanting to repurpose them and use them again. If so...
You've got to go down there and do a health and safety jet. And the thing is, it's quite a dark thing to say, really. You probably don't want to go down with too many people, because if you do get stuck and die, there's not that many casualties lost.
Well, the main guys are the older fellas, Brian and Dan. We've got four blokes.
And then Mark and Roger, they're the younger guys who are actually electrical engineers who are there really just to help rig up the lighting inside the mine and the generator and everything like that. And setting dynamite. Setting dynamite. I love it. I'd love to throw a bit of dynamite.
I don't want to. And a mine. I've seen The Descent. I've seen these movies. Not in a mine. I just love to throw one into a lake or a quarry. What do you know? I'd love to throw one in. Yeah, but I'd probably blow my hand off, no more luck.
um so yeah they talk about the mines have been closed since 1912 and he says you know we need to check the beams
to make sure they're safe. And like you said, as they start walking in the mine, they start just banging them. Oh, that one on either side. No, it's just one guy. Basically, though, to show the situation of the chemistry of the people, we've got two older fellas that are just like, we've been fucking doing...
this for years where you like give a shit
Do you know what I mean? Whatever. Bang, bang. Yeah, it was just another day. We've done it so many times. It's fine. But then we've got two younger guys behind who are there to work. At the same time, they will party if they get the opportunity to. And they're young. But they're just a bit like...
naive and fresh kids on the block so they're just like what the fuck like smashing away at them like what are you doing
They keep saying, how much are we getting paid with this? Probably not enough. Because they think we might die any minute in here. Yeah, yeah, I would be with them as well. And you're right, they do want to party because, I mean, we'll jump ahead, but they have got a couple of girls coming to the towns, the snowy town, to party with.
some point so but we'll go back to where they are right now so then they come across a cave-in the first of many cave-ins and they're like well let's just blow it up with dynamite hang on a minute it's already a cave-in do we want to have more cave-ins
So they use some TNT and they blow up the mine. And this is where it's revealed, like, we want to get out of here because we've got a, you know, one of the guys' girlfriend is coming out and she's bringing her friend. And he said to his buddy, hey.
think you might want to hook up with my my girlfriend's friend and he's like yeah yeah yeah we'll see last time you tried to hook me up with a girl she was like quasimodo's sister
and uh he's like no no i'm sure this is she's gonna be hot it's gonna be fine and um they do actually end up having some amazing chemistry and getting it on it's quite sweet actually the story between them um how they sort of flirt with each other and stuff like that so
They explode the mine, boom, right, that's cool. We'll leave that, let the dust settle, and we'll see you guys tomorrow because, you know, we've got to go and pick up our girls. We'll come back tomorrow and carry on.
Digging our way through these collapsing mines. Great. Look forward to that. I'm going to go and get pissed. We cut to the ladies, don't we? Yeah.
driving down the road we've seen it many times it's the same sort of thing and then like is it a deer comes out yeah a deer walks out and they swerve around it and it's all snowy so they sort of go into a ditch a bit don't they they have to get out and walk um We see another girl.
Oh, no, sorry. Then they enter a cabin. They go to the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which we find out is going to be the rendezvous point of the couples, the young couples, to get it on for the weekend. Yeah, they're moving. Well, I think they're moving in there for a while while the boys do this.
It's going to take a while. It's good that the two people that didn't know each other got along because that would have been fucking shit if they'd been there for a while. I don't like that cunt.
Well, I think the bloke, the guys are friends, the two fellows. I think they're already friends anyway. I know they are, but I mean like the two girls are like, oh, you're like my friend, you're going to get on. What if they end up not liking each other? Do you know what I mean? Awkward.
Yeah, especially if they shag on the first night and then he shot his load too early or something. It's just a real awkward situation. He just literally jizzed as he walked into the room in his trousers.
First, let me see Crazy Ralph. There is a Crazy Ralph in this. He doesn't say a word until about 20 minutes towards the end. He just keeps spying on them. He's just there like a fucking pervert.
we've got this old man who's just spying on everyone everyone women men he's spying on everyone like he's like he looks like he's a god a bit crazy he's got a bit older in life and he's like maybe a little bit dementia or something because he's just like creeping around
and everyone does something he goes just runs past him it feels like a character from an edward film
now spoiler alert he is actually the only survivor from the old mine or he's the son of a survivor we eventually find out yes yeah so so he knows the secrets of the mines and he's not happy about them opening the mines up going back in which is why he's spying on
them the whole time now this girl who's gone in the house she's actually the owner of the household and she she goes down into the basement and lights the boiler she hears some spooky noises
and she's getting she's supposed to be prepping the house for these these two couples yeah she's grabbed the knife as well because she's been intimidated so yeah this is where you could look at it as like you saying like it's a serial kit it's very much a halloween setup yeah
She lights the boiler. She hears a noise. Something grabs her feet and drags her away. And that's the last we'll see of her. And that just leaves her abandoned car out in a ditch somewhere. So that's the end of her.
So, moving on. The morning, and the miners go back into the... Well, first of all, we see her car getting towed away by the police. The cops are like, well, I don't know where the owner of this car is, but...
That's pretty strange. We'll have to go finding her. So the cops are already on the trail now.
And then the guys, the four guys go back in the mine and they start following a very, very old map from like 1912. Yeah, so the next day it's basically back at work again. They all sort of set up, you know, they've all got their sandwiches and they've got their flasks.
And they're clearing the rocks out of the way and setting up the lights. They come to a dead end, though, don't they, in the tunnel? They do another dead end. And he says, well, this isn't on the map.
There's a very old map. He's like, I don't know. Maybe there's been another cabin. So they get a little bit lost. Meanwhile, the two dates arrive in town. They do also discuss that we need to get a new map from head office, which is going to be a problem because this isn't correct. This shouldn't be here.
What? How does that work though? You need a new map. So the office already knows about it. Why didn't the office give you the new map in the first place? Why do they all of a sudden have now this new map? And how do they know about this new map? You're the ones telling them about the dead end.
Yeah, there's no GPS or anything about that. How did they all of a sudden just go, oh, yeah, oh, it's this one. Why didn't they just give it to the first place? Anyway, apparently they somehow know, oh, we use our minds to tell where the tunnels go. Yeah.
Or maps for them. Well, they move a few rocks and they go through the opening and they find a pool of water. It's a little cavern, don't they? We as the audience see... something lurking in the water we don't see anything obvious just there is big trouble little china when they're walking through
to the uh the place and they see something yeah it's a bit like that we have uh we have cut back to the ladies who have been driving uh obviously not driving long no they are driving longest though and they stopped their volkswagen beetle very nice looking people actually and uh
just jumps out and goes running off like oh no fluffy or whatever tiger tiger he's called tiger tiger come here and they go running off after the dog that's our little side story of those guys and what they're up to
Cute girls in a Volkswagen Beetle. Yes, the lady with pretty eyes wears a cowboy hat and looks very attractive. You like it, don't you? Now, the guys, not only have they found the pool of water, they've also found a skull.
somebody's human skull. And then they find loads of skulls, a giant pile of bones, which no one really thinks about it. And so there's a really clever bit of writing later on where he says,
well if these were the miners they'd be scattered all around the place like where they died but this is like a big pile of bones like why would they someone pile up all the bones here obviously there's something down there eating them
So the girls car arrives in Tang and They get there they go into the house One of the girls is like I better test the bed out because me and my boyfriend are going to be using this a lot
She starts jumping up and down on it. It doesn't work very well because they're not going to use it. Well, they could do, but they break it within two bounces. Yeah.
absolutely he's gonna have to completely reinforce that bad if he expects to get some some good use out of it um the other girl says well i'm gonna go and take a bath and there's no hot water i know what i'll do I'll go down into the dark basement to check the boiler.
and make sure that the furnace is working okay. I know what you're saying, Dan, but in practicality, where's the boiler in the basement? Oh, I'm going down there, I want a fucking bath. That's where it comes to real life, but yes, it is.
a horror movie it could be spooky in the basement she goes down there on her own and something is watching her from the shadows we get a nice little pv in this jimmy savile or crazy ralph oh take off your top Um...
Something's watching her in the shadows and she does sense it. She senses, but then it's her dog. It's bloody tiger. He jumps out. Oh, you goddamn dog. Everybody hates the fucking dog in this film. Sarah's like, what is up with their problem? What is the problem?
with the dog dog doesn't do anything wrong but they're just like fuck you fucking piece of shit it's like directors i hate dogs
Put a dog in it so I can take out my vengeance on them. The two guys hate him. Even his owner hates him. They're just always like, Tiger, you little son of a bitch. But he does scare his owner in the basement. It's not very nice to do that. So she leaves the basement.
and again something moves in the dark as she walks up the stairs she doesn't see it but we as an audience do and then another shot of crazy ralph spying on them
from the woods so he's there again you get a lot of that throughout this film it literally just it just be weirdo again weirdo again but mark and roger the two young guys the electrical engineers they get back to the cabin
And they see the girls. Very quickly, they have been assigned by the older workers that one of the guys has to go and get the plans. And he's like, what the fuck? We're about to go pick up the girls. Well, tough.
You're going to have to, you know, you could be back by three in the morning if you get on with it. Oh, for fuck's sake. So one of them knows he has to go at some point to go get the plans for the mine. I think that evening, as far as I could tell. Yeah, he goes and does it a bit later on.
Like, right, we want to at least go say hello to the girls. And he's not happy about it, but he's got to do it, otherwise none of them can work. So Roger immediately starts rogering Jessica. He's like, hey, Jessica, straight in the bedroom. Roger Moore, shouldn't he? Hello.
He takes her straight in the bedroom and they just get straight to work. Meanwhile, the dog is barking at the basement door. Shut the fuck up, you stupid dog. Poor dog.
um it looks like the dog from the burbs doesn't it a little bit the same dog that was in the same actor unfortunately we don't have that burb sound effect
uh from the music score of the dog and the keyboard synthesizer unfortunately i don't know if that would have worked but yeah i feel you trisha um and mark
They start talking, Trish and Mark, and they've not met each other, so they get to know each other. She's like, got any beers left? He's like, yeah, help yourself. He's thinking...
she's got a pulse this is great she happens to be like mildly attractive which is great okay do put yourself in his situation and obviously she must be on the way up going like well i guess i'm going to probably hook up with him regardless because when it comes down to
She might be like, she might have walked in and went, oh, no. If I get pissed, it won't be as bad. Because you've got to think of their situation. In a little mining town, there's...
their buddies are just gonna be fucking the whole time they're not gonna see them again so it's like well what we could do i'm gonna have to oh fuck it i might just bang him
But this is a great scene because there is genuinely good chemistry between these two actors. They start to get to know each other. The acting's totally solid for this film.
and the writing because this is also used as a device to get some exposition in here and he he tells her you know me and my buddy we're electrical engineers we got paid paid a ton of money to come here to this town
and do this job and we just got you know help with the electrical work while they're reopening these mines we don't know much we've never done anything like that before tell me about yourself she's like oh i'm a journalist um i'm a writer i'm a journalist um
and I've known you know Jessica for however many years and
basically i'm looking for the next big story and i really want to write a good story or something so i'm always on the lookout for like interesting things i feel like one day i could be a famous journalist so they're chatting away and suddenly there's a knock at the door and it's the sheriff
And he says, oh, hello, I'm looking for the owner of the house. And they say, oh, well, we haven't seen her. He says, oh, that's strange. We found her car in a ditch and she seems to be missing.
So, unfortunately, Mark has to go and interrupt Roger's sex. He bangs on the door and he's like, this better be good, Mark. And he's like, well, yeah, I mean, the cops are here, so get your ass out of here now. Pull out and come in.
Yep.
So he goes in the living room and they're sort of talking to the cop. They say, well, look, we can assure you none of us have seen the owner of the house. He says, OK, no problem at all. Just, you know, if you hear anything, let me know. There's always a sheriff in these small towns. The sheriff in Squirm is a...
Price fucking asshole. We'll get to him. Fuck me. He's an asshole, that guy. So, we've now got a missing woman and some sex and some minds.
So their boss back at the mine is packing up for the night. And the creepy old guy is watching him. Dun, dun, dun. There we go. What's he up to?
The four guys, the two couples head out for dinner and drinks. Yep. And they leave the dog at home. Leave that fucking cunt alone. Leave him at home. God, they hate him.
They arrive at the pub diner. Actually, when she leaves, the lady was the pretty eyes.
don't know her name um she she uh she actually is like you be good now and i was happy that she bent down and not because she bent down happy that she bent down and placed the dog down
I thought she's... And just throw the dog as I thought was going to happen, but didn't. Just literally drop kick it. So they're not as bad as call it a cunt. Jesus Christ. While they're out...
because they get to the pub zone and we'll come back to the minute while they're out there are more noises coming from the basement which scares the dog it goes into the basement and then it shits itself runs out and hides in a cupboard yeah
Poor little thing. It's called tiger, though. Who calls a fucking poodle tiger? Do you know what I mean? You've got to call it something like fluffy or something like you said. You can't call it tiger. So, in the bar...
The girls meet the boys' bosses and they play pool and they're having a good time chatting. And again, it feels genuinely good. Acting, writing, chemistry. Very natural. Did really well here.
Roger has to leave with the keys to go and get the plans from the truck that he mentioned. And he says to his girlfriend, stick around, play pool with these guys. Stick around.
Stick around. No, she's laughing away, and there's these old fellas, like, come on, little lady, you can stay here playing with us, that sort of thing. And she's like, well, yeah, I could do this. Is this a setup for, like, a category in Pornhub? Are we just...
about to literally set up into like being rowed by two old fellas on the pool table is this is this what's about to happen here it i didn't even call that sarah called that
Go for the pink and not the brown. Yeah, exactly. It seemed like... I'm sure I've seen this video before.
Maybe you should chalk up my stick for me. Yeah. Well, they start talking to her about the skeletons. She thinks, oh, this could be my big story. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's cool. And again, it all feels very natural and it moves at a nice pace. Roger arrives, moves the truck back at the house and he walks in and there's a mess everywhere where the dog was running around. You fucking little dog.
Stupid fucking dog. He does hear some strange noises. Yeah. And he says, Tiger, you son of a bitch, where are you? And he can't find the dog anywhere. And he says, yeah, if you know what's good for you, you'll stay hidden. Hopefully I'll never see you again.
um and he's then he has to go get some sleep so he gets some sleep and he goes to bed sets his alarm um we cut quickly back to mark and trisha flirting at the bar she tells him he's got a nice face and he tells her she's got a nice face
You can tell he's relieved about that. You've got a nice face. Oh, you've got a nice face. Strange. Oh, you've got two eyes. Me too. Hey. You've got five. What? Five what?
five what gav five eyes oh okay um anyway back to roger he hears some noises coming from downstairs he grabs a beer uh he he he slips over in the garage
and something grabs his foot and pulls him under the truck. Oh, yeah, yeah. We are doing the, which, you know, it is.
It's not really just Jules that came up with the idea. It's just a way to fucking do it cheaply. Not showing the monster. Just showing some tentacles. With this, though, it's a good way to sort of build up a little bit more suspense slightly. There isn't very much suspense in this film. I feel relaxed.
direction and music score possibly but um with that though you can have like a tentacle come out and grab and pull someone in which is quite quite like oh you know yeah and you're not sure what it is is it a tentacle is it like a claw
No, do you know what it is? And what's going on? Why do you think it's doing it now? Why is it in the garage? Why is it not in the mine? Didn't anyone see it come out?
Well, because they find out there's a secret entrance to the mines in their basement, don't they? We've all got a secret entrance in our basements. So that's how it's getting into the house, because they disturbed it when they blew up the...
Okay, I see. So it's hungry and it's coming out looking for food. But he manages to escape from whatever's under the truck. And...
He can't see anything under there. But then suddenly, something jumps on the back of him and his throat is slit. Yeah, because they were slashing. And that's him done. That's him done in. Roger is done in. She's only had one bonk out of him. Yeah.
And obviously this is what makes it a bit more intriguing because he was the one who was supposed to go and get the plans for the new mineshaft. So with him not being around, it doesn't cause suspicion.
And what they've done here is also killed off what we thought was one of the main characters quite relatively early on. Yeah, you could look at it that way too. Yeah, which is good. So the lovers return back to the cabin. Boobs.
they leave jessica um playing pool with the old fellas because she's absolutely railing them it's a guild it's a guild it's a guild gang bang yeah
So she's destroying them at pool. But the lover has returned back to the cabin because he says to her, you know, I could light a big fire and we could, you know, maybe see what happens. But they get there and...
Obviously, Roger is missing. But they don't really give a shit about that. They just start getting it on in front of the open fire. Don't worry about your friend missing. Just crack on. They make love by the open fire.
And we get a POV in the kitchen. And it's the dog again. The fucking dog interrupts them having sex. In fact, the next day he says to Jessica, well, last night your goddamn dog almost made it a threesome.
I was going to say, I just need a dog to start licking his arse. Oh, I've heard that tale many a times. Sorry, you've heard that story, right? Not really, but yeah, okay.
that urban legend about um uh someone was getting it on with a girl and oh yeah and then it's the dog started looking his ass and he thought she whatever she's doing feels great and then he turned around and it was her dog and he's like
Yeah, well, it's going to happen, I'm sure. Yeah, I was interactive while a dog wants.
um in canada um it's it's worse growing up when you're younger and you you like when you like just learning about masturbation and you're a young lad you know and you found like a page three
picture in a newspaper so brilliant and then the dog's just looking at you so oh no what's he looking at watch me stop looking see these are the kind of sexual
discoveries and tales that Kevin's here for. Yeah. Gav was watched by a dog. I'm not, no, I'm just, oh, yeah, actually, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there you go. I'm pulling that from somewhere, aren't I? I mean, the story, obviously. Yeah, yeah.
So they make love by the fire, the dog interrupts them, and that's that. And the morning time comes. And they all presume Roger has sort of gone off with the truck, you know, to do whatever he needs to do.
Mark leaves Trish in bed. They're in love immediately after one night. Yes, after their one night, drunken night, they're both totally in love, obviously. And Jess says, Tiger is missing.
Yeah, totally. And he's got to work with the other guys who have gone set up lights in the cavern bit they found with the big water thing. And obviously still unsuspicious and unaware of the fate of their mate.
yeah yeah well when they go back well they find the dog by the way um the dog's just being a dog and they have a go at it again another another reason to shout at the dog
and then when they get back to the mine when mark gets back to the mine the other guys are there and they look the vandals have been here and suddenly someone's boarded up the mine all over again and they put crucifixes all in front of it and someone's written death
On the doors of the mine. It's pretty elaborate vandalism, isn't it? This graffiti is shit. Death. Unless that's his graph name. It could be his tagging name.
yeah death but why the crucifix is banksy early banksy this is mad early banksy yeah so um meanwhile the girls are cleaning up the house because 1981 women clean up the house gap of course and they're even baking
They're baking, getting the house ready for their boys to come home later on. So that's all happening there. And the old man, we see him then steal some TNT from the... TNT! Dino Mine!
yeah yeah so he steals some tnt from the truck um now we're in the mine now and mark's setting up all the lights and they're actually taking samples because they're trying to find out if there's
silver they can find any silver in there because you know there's supposed to be loads of silver in these mines and they start questioning the bones so this is what i mentioned earlier they really talk about and i've made a note here about how good the scriptures they really start questioning you know
Because they don't do this in horror films. If there's a big pile of bones, they would often just go, it must be the old miners. But they go, well, hang on a minute. The miners would be scattered all around the place. This is a pile of bones. Somebody's put a pile of bones in a big pile. Very strange.
The old man's lurking in the shadows in the mine watching them. It was page-free newspaper, Mac.
Jessica, meanwhile, discovers that the truck is still in the garage, so she knows that Roger never took the truck to go to the mines. Trish is investigating the...
the mine story she goes to the local newspaper office and gets information from the local council and she finds out all about what happened at the mine so she's really building up her story she thinks there's a good story here god there is a good story for you here trish but
You're not going to like how it ends, my lovely. Jessica calls her at the newspaper office and says, go and tell Roger that Mark is missing. Sorry, go and tell Mark that Roger is missing, I should say.
so she's also find out that one miner did survive from 1912 and he said we were attacked by creatures down there
Like having crabs, I suppose. I was attacked down there by creatures. And I went on holiday. Highland. So, in the mine...
The boss, Brian, starts hearing noises. And we know that the creature is almost upon them. However, before we get into any creature malarquies, we have a shower scene. Gab, I know you're...
enjoy this yeah but there was a nudity so it's kind of a fairly tame shower scene really but um it was pretty lady and she's in the house alone and um
She does hear some noises. She hears a fucking lion's roar, pretty much, coming from the basement. She's in the shower, and she hears a dog barking away, and she's like, shut up, as they all do, because they don't like the dog. And after a while, she's like, oh.
that sounded a bit weird actually so she does actually stop and this leaves the shower running doesn't turn it off because i assume she thinks she's about to just get
back in. And very well, she's about to have a fight and a tackle with a monster. That towel impressively stays on like super glue. It covers every part of her that you shouldn't see very well. Everything. I'm looking at a picture right now.
That looks like a sumo nappy on her. Which is fine. I'm not trying to be a perv and get a glimpse, you know. But it's a shame. Anyway. While she's getting out of the shower to investigate what the dog's barking at and hear the strange noises.
We see those weird pentacle claws.
Lifting up the floor vent. And the dog's there looking. The dog's quite small and low to the floor. And the dog's like, oh, and we keep getting kind of the dog's POV with the camera. So the grate's coming up. And the dog's going back and forth, going, oh, oh, oh, barking away. Oh, you little bastard, why?
And this is the time when the dog's actually doing some good. The whole time you're dissing a dog, the dog's letting you know that something weird's going on. And then all we hear is...
where the dog is pulled into the grate just literally like pulled inwards and the grate just then gets put with some claws kind of come up almost like tentacle claws and pull the grate inwards and making it a bigger hole yeah Jessica comes down and she sees the broken vent.
and she starts getting pulled in then by her feet she thinks the dog uh she doesn't know she didn't see the dog get pulled in did she so i think she feels like the dog's possibly falling down there because i don't know whatever reason then all of a sudden
Her arm gets grabbed, and she's kind of being pulled into it. Yeah. She manages to get her arm out there, but she's got blood all over her. She hears more of this sort of weird roaring sound. And then something...
is chasing her yeah she's running down a hallway then runs into like a pantry turns and shuts the door and this thing just like literally just
kind of like if you remember reanimator with the dead corpse in the downstairs just literally pushes the whole door over from the top downwards off the hinges and fucks her up
Yeah, and then sharp claws slice her neck, her chest, her face. Unfortunately, she is killed. And she collapses, yeah. We're soon dead. Yeah. Back in the mine.
The two older fellas see something in the water. Hey, what's that over there? I don't know. Go over it. I'll wait out and see what it is. Oh my God, it's Roger. Dead Roger with his face all ripped off.
This is weird. I wish that had been you and that was your actor at that point. Oh my God, it's Roger. His face has been ripped off. His face has been ripped off. Yeah, brilliant.
And this is where the old guy now does a little bit of talking. We've got 20 minutes of the movie left. What is going on? He comes in and basically says, it's got a dead goose. Essentially. He says...
you let it out i tried to warn you i tried to stop you and you wouldn't stop going in the mine and you let them out you've let them all out and they're like what the fuck are you talking about crazy ralph what what have we let out and then he reveals he's got a
dynamite loaded tnt um and they realize um they suddenly realize oh my god there's a tunnel that leads directly into the basement of the house where we're all staying oh my god that's how it's getting into the house yep
And he says his dad was one of the original miners. So he wasn't a survivor, but his dad was one of the original miners. And they were all attacked. And then one of them gets attacked.
and poured in the water yeah and this is where the old man says uggins so it is said kev is
He throws TNT in the water, but he himself, the old man, gets attacked as well, and he drops it. Stupid man. Drops the TNT. It explodes, causing a cave-in. Yeah. Great.
Yep. Trish gets home. Jessica, where are you? Jessica? She can see signs of a struggle. Mark's speeding back there. He's like, oh my God, if that tunnel leads...
to our house and whatever is down here is it's on its way to my girl trish who i've only known for 12 hours i better speed there immediately so um he does like completely oh my god yeah like panic yeah trish
sees blood on the floor and she heads to the basement. Why? I don't know. If I saw blood, if my friends were all missing and there was blood everywhere, probably not going to go down the basement on my own. Just saying.
Sorry, Gav, but if me and you are staying away and you disappear and I see blood everywhere, sorry, mate. Even if you're just having a nosebleed in the basement while you were trying to get batteries for a flashlight, I'd be like, no, I'm not going down there.
Sorry, Gavin. I've seen too many horror films. Mark grabs the cops on the way to the house. So they're all speeding to the house now. And Trish has armed herself with a pitchfork.
great good weapon choice actually probably go for that myself it's quite good it's it's one of those things where it's hard if you're swinging it around for it so long but you can keep things away good for zombies i'd say good zombies
it's just to push him away keep him away from you keep it away keep it away keep it away now you can get him in the head you can get him in the torso highly rated pitchfork as a weapon guys whoever in that scenario yeah that's more tips from gavin dan
more tips from us however unfortunately trish finds her friend jessica's body and just as she spots it her foot is grabbed and she's dragged off yeah um
and she falls down and the creatures we sort of see the creature's teeth sort of a close-up this is the most we've seen of them really now they're sort of like
Sort of Ghoulies 2 style. Yeah, and... It's alright. The direction's a lot better here as well, by the way, towards the end. The sheriff and Mark arrive at the house and they're shouting...
What's going on, you guys? Is anyone here? And immediately this little thing, they see it.
on the floor and he's like what is it is it dead because he shoots it doesn't he the sheriff he shoots the creature and he goes he puts his face literally an inch from the creature's face what the hell is this thing and then we all know what's going to happen
it's not that silly moment in Prometheus oh god yeah same thing yeah he puts his face right to it and it bites his face off pretty much
So they kill it. Well, it kills the sheriff, sorry. Mark spears it with this big stick. But this has started a fire now because of all the ruckus going on down there. And there's a load of gasoline on the floor.
So this place is going to go up soon. Trish and Mark say, well, there's only one way to escape because we have to go in the tunnel back to the mines. Yep. Okay, let's do it. What, there could be more of them in there? Fuck it. The house is on fire. It's all we can do.
So they head in the tunnel and the creature manages to get through the flames and chase them through the tunnel. Mark gets grabbed by the creature. Trish crushes it with a rock.
she does a good job or you're just saying she crushes it with a rock she crushes it both yeah good job Trish yeah she smashes it with a rock um they find Brian um
And he's like, oh, guys, thank God you're both still alive. And immediately he's strangled by this creature. Yeah. So they have to start running again. And behind them, it's quite scary, this bit. As they're running, you can just hear this weird roaring sound.
coming from behind them as they're running. They're like, keep going! Keep going through the mines! Mark throws some TNT over his shoulder. Boom! They close the mine for good. Absolutely.
They limp back to the car. It doesn't end well for them. All that's happened. They get back to their house. That's now burnt to the ground. There's nothing left of the house that they were supposed to be staying in.
And that's the end credits. Playing over the house on fire. All their friends are dead. Both their bosses. No jobs. Also, how are you going to explain this to the cops?
yeah totally um it's okay i feel like like i said i feel like
i think the director could like some of the performances and some bits are okay but i feel like a bit more suspense to the movie i feel it's lacking and i think that also is the lack of a good score as well i think it could have really made this i think the score
Could have just given it this load of atmosphere and made it real creepy a bit more. But overall, it's a fine film in a way. It's kind of slow. If you haven't got patience, I think you might struggle.
but it's fine and i can see the sort of nice sort of film as in going back to on regular viewings or like when it's cold or I'm going to sit and watch that film because I could tell you could get to know the characters a bit on repeated viewings the town a little bit it's not got huge scope
like twin peaks you see loads of so many people in town but you do see enough to keep you knowing it's a little town and it's i think it's fine in that sense um will i go back to it i don't know will i give it a thumbs up yeah i'll give it a thumbs up but it's a real slow one i think you went
be able to watch this as a standalone film fan, you've got to be a horror fan. I think what happens with Kevin is he saw this at a young age with his dad at a drive-in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Oh, yeah, of course. Oh, no, sorry, no, sorry. He saw this at a multiplex, but still, seeing this at the cinema at a young age. Okay, yeah, yeah.
um my summary of it i actually wrote down i said the setup is better than the execution yeah for me i really enjoyed the whole movie but the last 15 minutes um it just kind of
It's a bit of a shame, really, that the last 15 minutes doesn't really live up to the rest of it. I preferred it when you couldn't quite see the creatures and we were getting to know the human characters. But overall... Do you think that's in the writing of the script originally or do you think it's because of...
a short time of filming and maybe that's a sort of rush to end. Well, I think it was what you just said because apparently the last day of shooting was 20 hours.
so they were obviously so they were just trying to get everything in so that's why that last bit is a pretty quick rush job um and it's funny enough a producer said to me once we make a film he said to me make the film the ending last um film the ending first
Fair enough. Well, my plus points for it, though, are, I've really enjoyed it, I will say, but my three plus points are great script, great characters, and a really good story. For 1981, this is quite a fresh story.
mines we've seen a million mine films now but this is a really interesting original story for its time really well acted really well written so i i enjoyed it i gave it six out of ten
So not like a massive score, but I still give it 6 out of 10 and I had a lot of fun with it. And I will go back and watch it when I'm not reviewing it so that I can actually just watch it. Yeah, that's how you go, watch it. It's a very much different thing where we're actually sitting here having
critique stuff not critique is in a bad way but we're just we're commenting and critiquing we're just seeing stuff and it's wherever we see we observe and make notes of because it's interesting to talk about so sometimes that can come out as critiqued in a bad way but um but
Yeah, it's fine. It's all right. And I can see how you like it is if you're into it from watching it as a younger lad. Well, thumbs up from both of us. The Buggins is on YouTube.
um it's also on prime if you want to buy it or rent it but it's on youtube which is why i watched it and it's a fairly decent copy so yeah never heard of it always love checking out a movie i've never seen thank you kevin thumbs up from us both but
Talking of squirmy wormy things, look who's walked in the room. Bill Murray's here. And he's got his worm. He's not even trying to pretend it's anything but his penis.
Just because you've drawn two eyes on it with a permanent marker doesn't mean that it's a little worm, Bill. No. Yeah. Oh, you're putting it in a sandwich. He's putting two slices of bread around it now.
It's not a bacon sandwich. We talked about those already, Bill. That is not a bacon sandwich. Just do your job. Please take us into World of the Strange. Hi, welcome back to World of the Strange.
I'll see you soon.
of the strange world. Strange world. It's a strange world. It's a strange world. Thanks, Bill. Thanks, Bill. So... because we're covering yucky squirmy creature features i thought it might be fun maybe not for us to take a look into some creatures that live on the human body
some of these are living on you right now gab we'll get we'll get into that nice no and i'm genuinely like one of them
yeah yeah i totally believe you absolutely but it doesn't affect me i'm still all right i'm 48 and i i'm still going to write so it's cool whatever well let's start with the classic from school head lice
That is a classic. And it sticks with us, because as parents, you have kids, and they get headlines, and you have to deal with that bullshit.
let me add that the knit nurse used to come into school and check your scalp oh okay what i've got a job doreen oh what is it janice i'm a nurse
Ooh, lovely. That'd be rubbish, wouldn't it? Their job was to... comb through with their fingers grubby five and six year old sculpts and if they found a bug they'd send a letter back to the parents and say go out and buy a really expensive burning shampoo
to use on your child's hair for the next week to kill all the bugs it's the sort of era they're probably pedos so you know because you wouldn't want to do that normally as a job would you come on
funny side story last year we went away from my mother-in-law's 70th birthday and as you know my mother-in-law loves fancy dress gov
And her name is Nora and she wanted everyone to dress up as something beginning with the letter N. I went as Nostradamus. I don't know if I remember sending you the pictures of that.
I don't know. I'm not sure. But Alice, there's a point to this. Alice went as a knit nurse. Amazing. So she bought a sexy nurse's outfit and a giant cone. So it's great for you at the end, apart from when she's knitting your beard. But...
But to add to it, because the kids were only three, we bought them bug costumes and they were knits. So they went as knits. So she was the knit nurse and they were the knits. I went out of a nurse for a while.
Not for a while, only a few months. But when we got together, pretty much the first thing she said to me is, don't ask me to wear my nurse's uniform. And I was like, what? At no point had I even said this, but I think she'd had it too many times from them saying...
you can wear your nurse and she's like I deal with diarrhea puke blah blah blah it's not sexy and it's like yeah it's cool I don't have any interest in you wearing your nurse's uniform
The problem we've got as young British men is we grew up watching the carry-on films. To us, we think nurses are going to be super hot. But when you actually go to hospital to have your tonsils out, the nurses don't look anything like that.
are just some old battle axe who's like eat your ice cream you do get a battle axe type of figure in the carry on film zone
I still think, you know, I need to start the side podcast, carry on podcasting, because I've got space on the other podcast place that I pay for monthly, which doesn't get used up because me and Sarah are so slow with our podcast at the moment.
um uh we should do it just one movie just one movie
We need to pick the fun ones. We've already covered one on this show. Yeah, well, we need to pick the fun ones because I think some of the older ones are not so much. But the job is that you kind of have to do the whole lot. That's a problem. Yeah. Well, back to Head Lice. Yep.
so tiny insects they live in your hair and do you know what they feed on i didn't know this they drink your blood yeah from your scalp yeah that's it
No, they're not dangerous. It's a good way when the kids go, I don't want to wash my hair again. Don't use that comb. You just let them know that they're eating blood from your head. They generally come round. Tiny vampires are in your hair. They come round to it.
Um, so they're very itchy, very contagious, but they're not dangerous. Obviously shampoo kills them. Is that you doing Bruce Smith rapping again? What did I say? Dangerous, not contagious.
They're not dangerous, just itchy and contagious. There you go. That is rough, man. I didn't even see it. And what are you going to do with that itch? You're going to scratch it. Scratch, scratch, scratch. But what you've got to watch out for with them is they lay eggs.
and what a lot of people think is they've got rid of the the head lice but they didn't realize they've still got the eggs left and they they sort of implant them into your skull a bit and then
well into your scalp and then a week later they hatch oh and you've got knits all over again so yeah that's why it stays around in school for weeks and weeks and weeks because the kids just pass them backwards and forwards
They just must be rubbing each other's heads against each other. Like, yeah, give me the nits. It's like four or five six-year-old kids are just the yuckiest. I know. But they only feed off of clean...
scalps yeah so you there you go there's a tip for kids don't wash um on to the next creepy crawly then gav and i've had this once ringworm
Ringworm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had ringworm. Now, ringworm isn't technically a creature or a worm, but it is a fungus, which is a living thing. And it can infect any part of your body.
so if you get it in your hair your hair could fall out and it always gives a pattern of a ring a circle now i had it on my elbow weirdly because when i used to kit box i used to we were doing we were doing um elbows
for a couple of lessons in a row and i was really hammering my elbow into this big pad okay and i grazed it a little bit but also after we got really itchy and then i had this perfect circle on my elbow i went to the doctor and he said oh you've got ringworm
And I told him, I think it was from Gitbox, and he said, yeah, you'll need to tell your Gitboxer teachers to wash the pads. So I told them and they disinfected all the pads.
like that weekend he said he got his jet wash out in the garden poured loads of disinfectant over them all because obviously you know we're all going to get it if you know but you can get it on your feet and that's what's known as athlete's foot that is technically ringworm
And you can get it in your crotch area where it's called Jock's Itch. I'm not telling you where I've got it. It's called Jock Itch.
But it's very easy to treat with cream, sprays, powders and pills. But ringworm. Should I say had? Had. Yeah. Let's talk about the hookworm. Cool name. Okay.
They're very rare in the USA and the UK and Europe, but they're very common in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
enters your skin. But a hook's like a shape. But a worm's just going to make any old shape. So why is it called a hook? Before we get... Let me guess here. It's the nature of what it does. It does some sort of hooking motion and sticks into you.
it's how it looks when it's inside your stomach. Oh, right. So it's like it hooks in. So basically, walking around in Asia, Africa or the Middle East with bare feet, if you step on any soil that's got poop in it,
you might get a worm into the bottom of your foot. They then crawl up, somehow get right up into your gut, and they will not go away until you take very, very strong treatment and medicines for them.
um they can make you cough they can make you not be able to breathe very well they can give you terrible stomach cramps and they hook into your gut so like they're sort of like um an upside down question mark it kind of looks like so
Hookworms. Not pleasant. So if you're walking around those parts of the world in bare feet, watch out. Alright? Yeah, totally. It doesn't sound very good. Well, here's one from Matt. From the Eternal Darkness and the Not-So-Spotless Mind. Tapeworm!
Tape worm, tape worm, tape worm. I was going to start saying, tape worm, tape worm, you're my tape worm. It's like Tom Jones, isn't it?
wow now you can get a take one from infected beef pork or fish so any infected meats really apart from poultry and if you have it then when you poop
you will see tiny little eggs in your poo. And you'll see pieces of worm in the poo as well. I don't like it. Well, if you think that's bad, a worm, a tapeworm, can grow to 30...
feet long inside you. I don't want to think about it. And it gives you diarrhoea, cramps and rapid weight loss. I don't like it.
Now, it's really important you get treatment straight away, because if they're left inside you, they can cause a brain cyst, which can cause anything as low as headaches, all the way up to seizures, confusion and death.
Imagine hanging in a tapeworm and die from tapeworm. How did he die, tapeworm? My wife went to Marrakesh about 13, 14 years ago, and...
she drank some water that she shouldn't have done no and she got um it wasn't called a tapeworm but it was a a worm of some kind can't remember what it was called now
and she was so ill i didn't see her for two weeks didn't want me to come over she'd lost so much weight in those two weeks i barely recognized her because she couldn't even barely drink water and we got her to the doctor and they were like oh yeah you've got a worm a stomach worm like we need to
you need to take this medicine and within like a week she was like better again and then managed to eat and hold the food down but she was so ill oh god yeah crazy hope no one's eating while listening to the podcast let's move on then to face and eye might
Also known as the Demodex, which is a great name for a monster, isn't it? You've summoned the Demodex. A hard electronic dance duo. I'm going to see Demodex tonight.
demon decks yeah demon dicks so basically face and eye mites are tiny tiny spiders that you pick up throughout your life
And by the time you hit 60, you've usually got 2,000 or 3,000 of them living on your face. Nice. Get in there, guys. Have a party. Cal's really happy about it. He's got some mates. Well, that's what we'll do about it.
You've also got them living in your eyelashes and your eyebrows. Have a little party. But if you get too many of them, they can cause eye problems. I bet they turn racist as well.
Racist? Yeah, they started to colonise in either side. They all start changing. They all start getting their own little countries in my face. I'm on the right side. Yeah, I'm on the left side. And they start getting racist. Oh, you're getting a bit political there, Gav.
The bugs in my face are racist is what I'm saying.
but you they're almost impossible to see because they're so so small but they are technically spiders so that's why it's not a problem and i don't discuss it so tell sarah you know she loves spiders she's got lots of tarantulas and spiders yeah we've all got spiders living on our faces amazing
She can hear. I don't need to tell her. You can hear that. Kevin's got a beard. You've got a beard. I've got a beard. Guys with beards have probably got even more of them living in our beards. I've got a fucking rainforest in there.
So, yeah, spiders on faces. Let's move on to scabies. Excellent. It's something I love to say in the podcast. Sometimes known as the human itchy mite.
It's got eight legs, which it uses to burrow into the top layer of your skin. It's not like Marmite, is it? Ichimite? Ichimite? Do you want some Ichimite on your... It sounds like a Japanese Marmite. Yeah, I want some Ichimite. Pick some Ichimite.
Their favourite areas to feed on humans are the groin. I was going to say the bum hole. The armpits. Between your fingers and your toes. Okay.
And then your belly burn, Kev. Wow. We hate belly burns. I don't like it being touched. Your body will tell you if you've got scabies because you'll get a rash. Now, you can get scabies from another person.
So you can get it through sex, but you can also get it if you just touch another person's skin. You can even get it if you put on the shirt of somebody who's had scabies or sit on a chair or toilet seat or sheet.
Scabies is like super, super contagious. With all these things then, there was a patient zero. So what did patient zero do to form scabies? They're that skanky.
Well, I don't, you know. And then if you bang someone and you get scabies from banging them, that's a scabby lay right there. Scabies.
Let's move on to another one for me and you then. Bellybutton bacteria. Oh, no. Don't like it. In the folds of your navel, there are glands. It's like the beginning of a movie. Is that the first lines of the movie?
In the folds of your needle, one man must survive the belly button fluff. And it's going to be Nick Cage. Oh, how do I get in here?
It's like in a space. I'm in my own belly button. Sold. Green lit. I want to see that. There's an episode. I think I've talked about this before. There's an episode of Ren and Stimby where...
Stimpy goes inside, he folds into his own belly button and makes friends with Jeremy the belly button elf. I think I've seen that one. And they become really good friends.
But in the folds of your navel, glands make sweat, oil and other things. And these things will attract bacteria and repel others. If you smell a strange smell coming from your belly button, Gav, it might mean that you've got...
belly button bacteria so go to the doctor guys spell your belly buttons if you can reach it i can't get anywhere near mine yeah i've got a really deep deep
deep hole to my belly button you've got quite a cavernous I have it's really weird I've always thought that about you really long balls and really cavernous nasal picture it ladies picture that enjoy my wife's got a really deep belly button as well um and
My son takes after her. My daughter has an outie, but my son has a deep belly button as well. So it must be something... Gav, what's your mum's belly button like? Not something I never thought I'd ask you. I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't know.
But look, if you notice a funny smile coming from your mum's belly button or yours... It's weird! If you're sniffing your mum's belly button at any period in your life, it's weird! Go see the doctor!
Go see the doctor. Oh, God. Goodness me. Hip-hop little throwback there. That's weird. Okay, the...
i think that's pretty much all of them the one i was going to talk about is actually an urban myth which is the one where we all know about the tiny catfish that swims up the man's your ether franklin if you go swimming in the amazon river and then uses this little
things to stick inside you and you have to slice the penis open to get out that is an urban legend there is no such fish that does that we've all heard about it we've seen them talk about it in films and stuff but
That isn't real. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just thinking about how glad it is. And then you've got, obviously, like, the classic scary boyhood tale of stand-by-me and getting leeches on your dick. Yeah, oh, God, goodness me. But...
But those are just a list of creatures that I thought I didn't know an awful lot about. You didn't know an awful lot about. I think the most disturbing one in there is, and I haven't got anything you can do about it. God, I do. Well, the only thing...
is I can't do anything about the fact there's a couple of thousand tiny spiders living on my face right now. No, I don't mind. I've got one over is an orgy. That one over is a full-on 48-hour rave.
To be fair, it did say by the time you're 60, you'll have a couple of thousand. So I've got a few years yet. I've still got some years to get some more tagalongs. Some face spiders, spider faces. There we go.
Well, Bill, have you got anything you want to add to that, you strange man? Whoa! We don't want to see where those bugs are. Pull them pants back up. I thought it was Richard Gere that did that with the hamster. I don't know about that.
Alright, okay. Well, Bill, take it out and take us out of here as well. Don't take it out. Keep it in, but take us out. That's all the time we've got for this week on Worldless. Next week, though.
Gimme iron. Hairless pets. Weird. It was a violent summer storm.
Millions of volts slashed the earth. That was the worst storm we've had since I was knee-high to a duck. Folks talked about it and started getting things back to normal.
when Mick hit town for his vacation. Well, it's straight ahead about five miles. But things weren't normal. There were changes.
Little mother bit me. I never saw him by like that. Strange, frightful changes. That night, it all started. Stop doing that. I'm not doing anything.
This was the night of the crawling terror. American International presents... Squirm. They came from everywhere.
millions of writhing, seething creatures oozing out of the mire that feed on human flesh.
You sweat, but you don't dare move. Terror grips every nerve in your body. You want to scream, but you can't.
Your heart beats so fast it feels like it's going to burst Jerry?
A new experience in pure fright. Squirm from 1976, rated X, an hour and 32 minutes. A storm causes some paradigms to break and...
touch the ground to join millions of man-eating worms out of the earth and into town where they quickly start munching on the locals. There we go.
Written and directed by Jeff Lieberman which I recognised the name when it came up. And he actually wrote Satan's Little Helper. Have you ever seen that film?
No. Very independent movie. Check it out around Halloween now. Check out Satan's Little Helper. Put it on your list to watch, possibly. Okay. Yeah, he wrote that. It's quite an interesting one.
He directed a couple of things. Just before Dawn, he did the screenplay and directed. Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That classic ending. If you haven't seen it, go check it out. Not going to spoil it.
this film's all right not too bad like i said before we had a we had this space of uh in the 70s a spate of animal uh horror everybody they all just thought everybody was fucking scared of every animal and everything existed i think jaws probably helped this um
and we've got bear many a bear movie uh night of the animals um alligator got leslie newton wrestling bear back a bear in the rain um you know it's um
uh it was a thing it was definitely a thing which happened over a period in time i love it apart from when animals are not treated well that's the only time which is hard sometimes they are sometimes they're not um do you like this sub-genre
Yeah, I do. I like body horror or... squirmy stuff so i like this i like slugs i like frogs yeah i got to be like i don't like the squirly squirmy worms in this it was a bit like
And this is sort of, they were really finding their feet with practical effects. 1976, really finding their feet with practical effects. Brian De Palma absolutely loved this movie, which is strange, because they actually sampled.
the squealing pigs from one of the Godfather movies as the noise that the worms make. So it's like a circle there, strange circle. Tarantino likes it as well. He really likes it.
And I have seen it before. Probably this might be my third watch. I've watched it.
a long time ago, and then you gave me a VHS copy, which I watched immediately. And that's why I used to watch this again. I thought I had a VHS copy. Yeah. Yeah, I dug out the attic.
ready for this um and it's definitely a fun a fun watch um and you've got to remember it's 1976 very early you know mid 70s and it feels quite well produced again it's got like kevin said in his email
You can really feel the heat of the summer coming through, the storm brewing. And we know what it's like just before a storm. You get like a real heat, don't you? Just before the lightning and the thunder break that atmosphere.
It's well produced. It has a bit of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre type vibe because it's a small, almost redneck town called Fly Creek, which apparently doesn't exist in real life. They made it up for the film, which, you know, nothing new there.
It does feel like it has a higher production value than the last film, which you can see it does. It's got more things going on. Even though...
Even though the boogans is very well polished and produced, I understand what you mean. It feels like they had a bit more... The effects alone in this are really, really good. You know, when you see the worms crawling in people's faces. And obviously, you know who's in the makeup department.
Who was it? Oh, really? Tell me, tell me. You've got Rick Baker. Oh, of course. Doing make-up design. And you've also got Rob Bottin as well. Oh, my God. So they were cutting their teeth on movies.
That's part of the reason. Both very... good effects artists yeah particularly particularly with the roger character who gets worms go in his face and then goes a bit crazy for the last act of the film he looks great like a zombie full of worms
Yeah, absolutely. It looks really good, actually. And I have to give a shout-out to Norman Page, because he is the makeup artist, where Rob Bottin is the assistant, uncredited assistant makeup artist. And this would have been...
early on of these guys just learning stuff and rob boateen coming on possibly via rick getting him on rick baker and the other thing is um
You know, they used real worms for the most part. There's a lot of fake worms used here and there. The effects is going to be that face-off, but it looks really good. The production would order shipments of...
250 000 worms at a time and they'd get these trucks full of worms delivered and they just kept losing them because worms just escape um and they ended up apparently the production of this film ended up wiping out the new england fishing industry's supply of worms
for a year because they had to buy so many worms that new england's fishing industry couldn't do anything for a year because they didn't have any worms yeah because this film would use so many of them
that's crazy millions and millions and millions of worms now i want to just point out again going back to what i was saying the actual as i said and we didn't really pick up on it those guys rick bacon roboteen were in the makeup department
not the special effects department yeah so they didn't do the special effects in this so that's really interesting but they were just in makeup but they must have just been using this as fucking film school ah de palma loved it so much he actually used it
There's a poster of Squirm in Blowout. Nice. So he wanted to show his love of it by putting it in his movie. That's right. I know you love Blowout, don't you? Yeah, it's a good film. Yeah, so...
It's definitely one that is a fan favourite. It's a cult favourite. It's not one that I've watched. Like I said, this is probably my third watch. It's not one I've watched a bunch of times, but it's definitely a fun watch. What's that supposed to be, Sylvester Stallone and John Travolta?
Yes, it was supposed to be, yes. And Kim Basinger.
Or was it Martin Sheen and Sylvester Stallone or something like that? And Kim Basinger was close to being cast in it as well. So he might have had a very different cast. Martin Stallone.
But the guy who's like playing these inbred type kind of characters, you know, the guy's just really... Yeah, Roger. He...
He just plays it so well. He's very, very good. They picked a very good person to play that because he looks very, very natural. I have no idea of the actor's own temperament in life.
It looks very good what he's playing.
Well, again, I think everybody does a bloody good job in this. I really like Mick, the main character, because when he first shows up, he's kind of a spectacled sort of nerd, almost like the early...
I'm the worm guy, Matthew Broderick, funny enough, we covered in the last episode. I thought of Matthew Broderick as the worm guy when watching this. Yeah, but he goes full on investigative...
private detective doesn't he when he starts trying to figure out what's going on and and then you've got the amazing chemistry between him and that horrible sheriff who's just such an asshole um and it's just like taking girls back to the jail banging them in the jail and
so you've got a really nasty piece of work so when the worms finally get him you're really pleased to see that and what is that with that sheriff's hair
What is that? It's like all these quiffs going all over the place. It looks like a fucking, in the sea, the waves in a tornado are just splashing everywhere and they're just stuck.
Yeah, and then you've got like, I don't know, it's just there's a lot going on here really. You've got the mother, the crazy mum. Yeah, who's just spaced out. We don't really know what's going on, but presumably she's just been like that since her husband's died or left.
We don't really know. Then you've got the horny stone sister who's just pulling joints out of her cleavage all the time. Who reminded me of the receptionist in Hostel, the guy with glasses.
Don't know why. They both had the same sort of thing about them. It's really weird. And, I don't know, Michelle and I both agreed on this one. That girl, she ain't worth going all that fucking trafficking for. No offence, but I don't know.
Seems like a lot of effort. Well, I don't know. He loves her, so... I guess. He loves Jerry. That makes me sound so awful. This film starts with a...
this is based on a true story. Which apparently kind of is, but isn't really, because no one ever died from...
Yeah, the director was doing it, wasn't he? Once upon a time with his brother or some shit like that, and they were just doing it. His dad was doing it, and he watched it and went, oh, I can make that movie. And just literally that, just watched that, and went, oh, I'm going to make a movie about...
worms coming up they even they even include that in the script because roger at one point says my dad used to take my little toy train put the batteries in the grain um but it's very plausible you know so the basis here is there's a huge electrical storm
um out in the middle of nowhere and it causes the power lines to go down and yes worms as we know from matthew broderick in godzilla worms
do come out of the ground when you shove a load of electricity i think anything would to be honest with you it is um this this movie just it feels at the beginning we have all this storm going on and it starts just like that and it's night time it's thunder and lightning and just worms
occasionally close-ups are screaming and it's such a dark sombre start of the film is this what this film is going to be that is this setting the tone of this film because it is dark and bleak as
fuck it's just like there's no happiness here in this film i thought it was going to go worse than it does though because it's just like
Do you know what I mean? Then all of a sudden it's daytime and it's like, the birds are singing and stuff. It's like, fucking hell. It isn't a happy ending for the majority of the characters in this film. Everybody...
everybody almost gets eaten by the worms there's a surprise at the end but everybody else gets chowed down by these worms and boy when they get you they get you
And they use really great close-ups of the worms, don't they? These worms with little mouths and teeth in them. Yeah, they've used a very good lens. You can get really in there.
and again 1976 so yeah rain thunderstorms small town we love all of this um we get warm close-ups strange squealing as the lightning strikes and that's because they're being forced out of their soil
and it's the morning time the storm's over we've got a nice blue sky and we get a farmhouse and we get a lady in the shower this is um jerry the older of the two sisters who lives with her mum and they lost their dad a while back
And she's in the shower. And there's a man working outside. And that's Roger. And he's sort of watching her through the window. Another pervert in this film.
And Roger is secretly in love with her. Although, as you said, Gav, he is a little bit of an inbred redneck. I don't know if that's a politically correct term, but he does seem like he may be the spawn of two related people.
Dad owns a worm farm. My dad owns a worm farm. A country person of Inbreston. Inbreston. Inbreston.
It's very inbreasting. Could you tell me more? Yeah. He's got a permit on her a bit, and she goes downstairs, and her mother goes outside and speaks to Roger and says, Roger, it's hot. It's all very thick.
A thick, thick accent. So whereabouts is this? I don't know my dialects of America. I believe it's around Tennessee type. I'm not quite sure. Okay.
But she's like, Roger, it's real hot outside. Come in for a lemonade. That kind of thing. And Roger goes inside and has a drink, you know.
She says, it's going to be 90 degrees today. This beginning here is really kind of like...
I don't know, it's kind of a bit lacklustre for the first thing to get me into this movie. What's going to happen? What's going on? I'm just in the kitchen, kind of just listening to a bit of dialogue. I did notice that.
But mum says to her oldest daughter, Jerry, Oh, you've got your date, have you, turning up in town? This guy called Mick. I don't really know how she's met him, but she knows this guy called Mick who's on his way to meet her out in the middle of a bumpkin nowhere.
How has this happened? This is very much pre-internet. There's no internet. Yeah, what's going on there? How have they met? I don't know how they met. It might...
i might have written it down and he's just like my god i've got to drive however far it is to you because wow i've got to get a bus um silly boy
And they talk about the mum, mum starts revealing her crazy nature. She's like, there was a strange storm last night, wasn't it? She talks a bit like weird, like she's not quite there. And then Alma comes in, who's the other sister.
And she joins them and she's like, oh, you're meeting Mick today, are you? Oh, great. I can't wait to see what this guy looks like. It's all a big info dump, this kitchen. Yeah, basically. Roger comes in for a drink of lemonade and Jerry says to him...
Roger, she sort of flutters her eyelids and says, is it possible you can give me a lift to town? Or, even better, can I just borrow your truck? I've got to go and pick up my date. And he's like, can't let you borrow the truck. It's my dad's worm truck.
And basically, him and his dad, who live in the next farm, they run a worm farm where they just basically get worms and sell them. And that's how they make their living. And he says, Dad won't let anyone drive the worm truck. And she's like, oh, go on, Roger.
Go on. And he's like, oh, go on then. Make sure you look after the worm truck. So she's got the truck to go and pick Mick up. And this is where we meet Mick. So we cut to a bus.
travelling through the countryside and it gets to a tree that's fallen down and there's some flooding and the bus driver turns over and says looks like we've got to go back to town
The road's all got a tree in the middle of it, and there's all sort of flooding going on here. And Mick says, I'll get off and walk.
It seems to be that he's gone to a shop on the way there and gone, I think, I hope...
Other people have tennis rackets because I've got just one racket. I'm assuming they've got tennis and I'll just pick this up. He's just bought up random stuff, presumably from a store on the way there or he's been sold it by someone who's looked at him and said...
sucker. I'm going to send him a load of shit. Everybody except for...
Jerry hates him in this movie because he's a city boy to them. So when he says, how far is it? And they're like, five miles. And he's like, oh, and he goes, you probably get yourself a compass in amongst all of that. And he says, it's flooded as well you probably got yourself a scuba
scuba gear as well and he's sort of laughing at this boy who's got like a tennis racket and all this other stuff like you said so he's like you know what this girl's worth it i'm gonna get off i'm gonna walk for five miles through marshy swampy forest now so off i go
We get a lot of inserts of the cables sparking on the ground just to remind us, the audience, that this film is about worms that have been electrocuted and then made iller.
so it reminds us of that several times so get a quick shot of that and then we see mark trudging through the woods with his bag tennis rackets probably got skis in there and everything else
There's mosquitoes biting him. Yeah, he's spraying stuff on it. He's a proper city boy, isn't he? He falls into some mud up to his waist. Luckily not like fucking quicksand or some shit, you know?
well i did think ah quicksand fantastic because i love a bit of quicksand in a film yeah but now it's just mud and that's where jerry is she's laughing at him she's just wandering around stoned out her face no no no it's jerry's and it's not alma
Oh, is it? Sorry. Yeah, correct. But my problem here is, how the fuck did she find him? Considering his bus broke down five miles from where he's supposed to get off. He didn't contact her, did he?
There's no mobile phones. It's 1976. She's just assumed that he's there. Okay. But she finds him. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Plot point, plot hole over. And they walk back to the farm together.
They get in the truck that she's borrowed and says, this is my neighbor's truck. He runs a worm farm. And Mark's like, a worm farm? People eat worms? And she's like, no, not that kind of farm.
They sell the worms for fishing and stuff.
Why would he think people are eating worms? No, he's milking a worm. I'm milking this worm on the worm farm. We're making out this guy who's a bit thick, basically, because even though he's a city boy, you know, these...
guys have probably got more knowledge than he has he even says to the bus guy when he's about to get off uh do you know where there's a toilet it's like there's trees just go behind a tree he's thinking with his penis isn't he
Yeah, but come on. He's thinking of this penis. So they drive back to her farm and they discuss...
Last night's crazy storm, huge storm. At no point, she's like, right, come on, finger me in the bushes. At no point in this film. Bloody hell. Is she?
There's no point in getting on a bang. I think they kiss maybe once after he saves her later on. He keeps trying it. He keeps grabbing at her. But she's like, I'm busy. But it's surprising. I thought she was being mad for it.
Well, before they get back to the farmhouse, they stop at a diner and they walk in and there's all the locals in there and they're discussing the electrical problems. There's basically no electricity in town.
The fridges are off, you know, nothing's working, no air con. And it's all because of this big electrical storm last night. Mick goes up to the counter and says, Hi, can I get a large egg cream, please?
A large egg cream. Do you want a large egg cream, Dan? And they're like, what the hell is an egg cream, boy? And he says, oh, it's like a little bit of chocolate. She says, so you want a chocolate milk? And he's like...
Well, yeah, but in the city, we call it a large egg cream. Fuck off you.
When we open up, I didn't see this, Sarah spotted it out, but when we open up the shot of this restaurant, we see the sheriff and he has his hand up on the lady's skirt. Yes, he's a dirty bastard.
This is the lady that he'll later take back to the jail and bang in one of the beds. He's also having spaghetti with him. Romantic. Yeah, they're eating just regular whack-looking spaghetti.
Now we get my favourite line in this whole film now, which is he drinks a little bit of his egg cream and then spins out and goes, there's a worm in my egg cream. Yeah.
Apparently, fans of this film, squirmists they're called, or squirmers, they love that line.
so much, and I think it's a brilliant line. There's a worm in my egg cream! But rather than them apologise, oh sorry, we served you something with a worm in it. Yeah. They...
The sheriff comes over and says, why did you spit on the counter? Well, before that happens, the lady says, what are you doing? Do you put that there? What are you doing? He says, I didn't do that. You should apologise. And she's just like, fuck up. It's definitely for her the customer's not right.
it's really much more like he's an outsider i'll do whatever i say whatever i want to this person i don't give a shit sort of thing so then the sheriff is just like yep that's true we all get together because we're all down folk all locals just hops up on the counter there and starts
giving him shit for him. He says, what, are you a city boy? And he's like, yeah, I am actually. And he's like, yeah, well.
Why don't you get back in your truck and go back where you came from? And he's like, what do you mean? There was a worm in my egg cream. Why am I in trouble? He says, why did you do a juvenile thing like that? And it's like, just looking at him and saying, doing a childish thing like that.
uh it's really weird they just don't believe him at all they just think he's just there to pay trouble and he looks like such a nerd he's definitely not there to but he's not like got a long hair and a mustache or something in a leather jacket you know what i mean so weird
Well, he gets back in the truck. Well, they both do. And she says, well, I've got the ice I needed because they had to pick up ice because their bridge is broke. Because the power cut. No, it's the power cut.
Now, I feel so sorry for him. This is the first time he's going to meet his potential future mother-in-law. He is going to have the smallest dick ever. He's holding a giant block of ice. He's soaked his crotch and his shirt. Those balls are going back inside.
And he holds it all the way back in the truck for her. It's a really weird thing to do. Why doesn't it go in the back of the truck? Because there's worms in there. In the back of the truck? Yeah. Full of worms? It's full of worms. Boxes of worms. Oh, right.
It's quite funny, when she puts the block of ice on his lap, he does go, and squeal, because you would. If someone put a giant block of ice on you, you would squeal.
You know what I mean? It is cold, isn't it? Is that being a documentary, a Charlie Sheen documentary, where he's cracked out of his head and he's trying to do a movie and he just can't get...
Can't get this bit right. So he's like, I know what I can do. And he just goes to the toilet, puts an ice cube up his ass and comes back again and does the scene. Amazing. Yeah.
It's a classic acting technique. It's going to give you that perk coffee can't do at that moment in time. My favourite part of that whole documentary was when he described the time him and Nicolas Cage were really high on a plane.
And they knocked on the cockpit door and they let Nicolas Cage and Charlie Sheen fly the plane for a little bit. Just a passenger plane. Just fly it. Imagine hearing that on the tannoy.
Bing bong. Oh, this is your captain, Nicolas Cage. I've just done five lines of cocaine. And then, and this is your copilot, Charlie Sheen. And you'd be like, oh, we're all dying. We are dying today. Yeah.
Imagine what they're telling their friends. Oh, we let Charlie Sheen and Nicholas Cage fly the plane earlier. Yeah. Yeah, it's a different time. Very different time. So we get home and Jerry introduces Mick to her mum and her sister.
And he says, what should I do with this ice block? She says, put it in the fridge. I hope he's still going like, shit, it's so worth all this. He grabs her and he gives her a quick kiss. And then mum says, take him upstairs and get some of your dead dad's clothes. They ought to fit him.
so great this is going from bad to worse i'm soaking wet and meeting my my girlfriend her sister and her mum and now i'm gonna wear the dead dad's clothes
And then she says, although he's a smaller, skinnier fellow than your papa was. And it's like, oh, great, now you've seen how I look. Jesus Christ. He is, though. He is. Now, Roger...
He's got his truck back, of course, but he is upset because he looks in the back of it and all of the crates of worms are empty. And he tells Jerry, he says, 100,000 worms missing from my truck, Jerry.
She's like, oh, my God, we haven't touched the back of the truck. We just sat in the front. That's all we did. He said, what am I going to tell my dad now? What am I going to tell my dad? So Roger.
His dad comes over and gives him an absolute roasting. His dad's great casting. He is. He comes across very natural. He's got like three teeth. That's the IQ number too.
He says to him, he says to him,
You don't understand. That's our living. You're going to have to dig, dig deep for those worms, Roger. You're going to have to replace every single one of them. We can't just get another 100,000 worms. But the acting's absolutely fine here. So this character is presumably acting a bit.
But yeah, it comes across for pretty good. Jerry and Mick drive off and this is where she tells him about the type of worms that are in the local area called blood worms. And these worms bite.
And he said, well, how do you know which end bites? And she goes, well, you'll know because it's biting you. And he's like, okay.
helpful thank you for that he must be like i don't know what i've got myself into here is this my life is this the life i want to have straight away i'm just going around in trucks and it's just all talking about worms
Is this the life I've just left for? Holding blocks of ice. On my laps. And just with people who don't really like me. The town that doesn't like me. I've already had the local sheriff have a go at me. I can't just go in this cafe anymore. So that's that out. So what's the plan?
What is the plan? What can I do? She's like, do I go to the cafe? I can't. What do you mean? I've already been banned from it. Already? It's because there was a worm in my head cream. It just turned up. I'm a bad boy for life.
Now, I don't know what Geri's job is, but she's something to do with collecting antiques. I don't understand it, but basically... No, it's not defined. She's...
got to go to someone called Mr Beardsley's house because he told her the other day, I've got something real cool that I think you could help me sell.
So she's like, let's go there. And he's like, I haven't had time to change. I'm still in my wet ice clothes. And she's like, too late now. Let's go. I'm late. All the clock stopped because there's no power. It's starting to suck. Why did I come all the way here? I stayed in New York.
Jesus Christ. Now, it gets even worse, Gav, because when they get to Mr Beardsley's house, Jerry finds a human skeleton in the back garden. Mick! Mick comes over and goes, oh my god.
It's a human skeleton. I don't know. For me, if I was like, I was so desperate for sex, I've gone and done this whole fucking thing. And I'm literally like, I'm like days into this now. And I'm trying to get laid. I'm really, I'm dedicated. I'm meeting family people. I'm pissing off.
neighbours and pissing off the local sheriff. He breaks into it.
He goes into a dentist office in a minute as well. The amount of shit I'm going to do, I'm going to get laid. But then I find the dead bodice going to be like, I tell you what, though, it's kind of made it a bit more fun. There's a Scooby-Doo type of shit going on here. And I'm kind of banging Velma. And that's how I'm seeing it, you know.
Nice. Yeah. Velma or Daphne for you? Well, this one here looks like the one with glasses, doesn't it? Is that Daphne? No, Daphne's a blonde one.
Velma's the glasses. Yeah, so this is Velma. Yeah, I reckon this is a Velma situation. Nice. Do you ever think Scooby-Doo gang get it on in the back of the Scooby wagon? Scooby-Doo gang bang. Oh.
Of course. And what do you think Scooby joins in? No, I think he probably does that awkward look and he keeps saying, look away, Scooby. Okay. Look away, Scooby. Not in the mirror of the van.
Shaggy's laced to Scooby Snacks with weed and they're all getting stoned and he's like, come on, let's have a big orgy. Oh, Shaggy, put Scooby out. He's still looking. Thelma's glasses have come off.
there we go they're all getting steamed up um so Fred's mocking Shaggy for his like skinny body there's another tangent for you there Kevin you never thought you'd think about the back of the mystery mystery you know what all the mystery is now they don't be in the van
Mystery machine, sex machine. So when they find the skeleton, he says, I think we should go and tell the sheriff. So she says, you're right, let's go. So they run off, they tell him.
Come see it. Come see it. Is it Mr. Beardsley's house? And he's like, you better not be playing around here. When they get there, of course, the skeleton is gone. Someone's taken it.
And the sheriff goes absolutely nuts. It's almost like a Scooby-Doo episode, this is. He says to her, if your daddy was alive in 10, you're Fanny. As we all know, Fanny Tannins.
Fanny means vagina in the UK. But in America, fanny is a butt. You get some vagina slaps going on.
But he says to her, you stop playing around with this guy. If your daddy was alive, he'd turn your fanny. Well, hopefully your dad's not doing the vagina snaps, because that'd be weird. And just when it couldn't get any worse, he says,
I'm going to go and I don't want to hear any more from you. Don't pick up that phone or anything. And then as he walks off, Mick goes, don't pick up that phone or anything. And the sheriff hears him. Yeah.
Don't wake him up anymore. He's just like, my role is to be a complete city arsehole in disguise because I don't look like that sort of character and he's just...
giving shit to everybody, fucking putting worms in glasses of milk at the restaurant. It's fucking, it's like Sid Fishers. Well, cut to Alma, the little sister. Now, she is quite, um...
Sexual, I'd say, is the word I use. She's sort of sitting there with her legs open talking to Mick while Mick's changing into dry clothes. Yeah, she doesn't outwardly show sexual, but she definitely...
it seems to come across you smoking weed all the time she definitely seems to come across as very uh free love and uninhibited uh and it is around the era isn't it you're coming out of the 60s it's not too long so like this is still going to be a thing but you know
because you wonder what's going to happen because at one point and they've obviously done this on purpose at one point when she's talking to him with her legs sort of open now she's got trousers on but she then reaches into her cleavage you think what's happening now and then she pulls out a really massive joint
you know oh jesus and she says you got a light it's a massive joint it's the smallest toothpick i've ever seen
Oh, there is a later on, maybe. She's got a big joint later, maybe. They're so thin, it's just... I don't know, it seems to not have been worth a point. No point, really. But I bet you the weed is pretty damn strong around there.
I don't know, I wouldn't say so, but I reckon it's in abundance, so that's why. Well, they share the joint while he gets dressed, and he asks who Mr Beardsley was.
And basically he's an antique dealer and he's missing now. So he's starting to build a case in his head. He's starting to put it together. Then they go to the local bar together. And that's that. She tells them all about how the local bar is where all the...
the winos hanging out and they go there stoned out her and her friends go there stoned out of their tits and laugh at all the toothless old men they must be growing weed or like there's just like a crop around naturally grows because they
just have wheat constantly. Well, with a mum like that, they're probably growing it on their own farm because she wouldn't know what's going on, would she? They go back to his place and she makes her speciality.
Do you know what that is? A scrambled egg sandwich. It looks disgusting. Oh yeah.
and that says i've made my specialty scrambled egg sandwich is your specialty you what you scrambled some eggs and chucked it in some bread and butter two bits of bread i do love an egg sandwich scrambled egg fried egg sandwich but it's not a speciality
by any stretch. Yeah, I would go scrambled egg sandwich. Do you want something to eat? Yes, please. I'll get you my speciality. I get crisps. Yeah. My speciality. It's not much for a speciality, but anyway, she says it is.
But there's a funny moment where Mick goes to this bar to ask if anyone's seen Mr Beardsley recently. And while he's in there, the... barman who is crazy says yeah i've got a few antiques kicking around here on my own and he goes under the bar and then he stands back up with a diver's helmet on
And he says, this old thing, dong dong, it's real old. We don't hear, yeah, that's good. We don't hear that much. We can't hear you. And it's just like, what is going on? What is this character?
coming from he's really funny though the farmer yeah it's just a fun character um they say to roger do you want to join us for some fishing later on okay yeah well that's fine
Let's go fishing with Roger. So they set a little plan in motion where they're going to start distracting Roger because they think he might be something to do with this as well. Yeah.
There isn't much worm action going on for a horror movie. There should be more horror of the thing which is the antagonist should be...
doing a bit more horror going on a bit of a slow burn almost to it there aren't a lot of worms yet you're right not yet it does get ridiculous it goes to like it's spinal tap to 11 in seconds it's just like watch
When she opens the bedroom door and a tsunami of worms comes out. And it's a really quick shot. So you're like, why are we not hanging on this longer? That must have been a lot of effort to do. A lot of effort. Just clearing it up.
his effort so can we have this shot for longer but no now Mick's trip isn't going very well because he now has poison ivy on his leg yeah um
She says, you're going to need some of this joint because you've got poison ivy all over you. But while he's sort of sitting there chatting in the dining room, there's a worm crawling down the wall behind him. Just a quick shot. And then it's gone in the next shot.
Oh, there's your worm, Gav. There's one worm there. I need someone being killed or something. And he starts placing things together and he says, hang on a minute. The worms are missing from the back of the truck. Mr Beardsley's missing. The skeleton's vanished.
there was a worm in my egg cream he says it so much there was a worm in my egg cream back at the diner something strange has gone on here i think it might be to do with the worms stop saying egg cream there's a worm in my egg cream
um what happens next oh yeah they're trying to figure out whose bones they are um so they they want to figure that out but they find the bones don't they they find a skeleton don't they in the trailer
yeah it's in the back of the worm truck and they they well they don't even decipher who it is but we don't get to that just yet yeah so they're on the fishing boat and roger seems annoyed that
the city boy is taking the girl who lives next door to him away from him because he I think he thinks him and Jerry are going to end up together and Mick's plan is I'm going to go I'm going to leave you two i'm going to leave you with this rapey redneck
on a boat in the middle of a lake it's a it's a weird plan uh he's just met he's made this much effort and then he's gonna throw a lot of this effort down the drain that she's impressing her she's just like he's like that'd be good you could save this redneck he knows nothing of
this person he doesn't have a history of him he doesn't know he knows nothing at all and he's just like stay with him i'm gonna go but she knows what he's like and she's saying no it's like trust her or maybe don't do that at all but he's like i could go find some more information
You came to get laid. Yours lays there. You're leaving with some hick. Weird.
possible rapist and you know just a side quest has turned into main quest and you're like fuck this shit I'm gonna go decipher what's going on with the dead bodies because it's more interesting than the the chicka powwow I came down so they've got
They've got a box of these killer worms that they're using as bait, and one of them bites his thumb, and that's his excuse to go back to the shore. So he runs off to go and investigate, leaving...
poor old jerry with roger and roger's sort of staring at her staring at her butt and yeah dribbling meanwhile the box of worms gets knocked over and
The worms start making their way along the bottom of the boat towards Jerry and Roger. And Roger's very close up behind Jerry now at this point. Meanwhile, Mick snoops around Roger's worm farm.
He finds the skeleton. He rips off the jawbone. Takes off the skull. Puts them both under his shirt.
If this sheriff catches him, he's dead. And why all of a sudden has he just decided to be, I'm fucking a now detective and I'm going to rip fucking jawbones from skulls so I can go and do a teeth fucking analysis and cross-reference?
What the shit? Where does this come from? And just when he's thinking that he's being sneaky, he bumps into stoned Alma. She's like, what you got under your shirt, Mick? And then he's like, oh, it's a skull. He just shows her it's a skull. Look.
And she says, oh, can I come with you? And he's like, yeah, why not? I could really do with the help of a 16-year-old stoned woman. And why all of a sudden are you hanging out with the girl you're trying to get on with, sister?
Anyway, cutting back to said girl, she's got, Roger said, I've got a surprise for you. Oh, God. Oh, God. Warning. Warning. And then just grabs hold of her tightly and tries kissing her. And she pushes him over.
pushes right over so he falls into the boat and we didn't earlier we had little signs of wormage going on possibly in the in the boat and all of a sudden yes the wormage is true he is it all goes around
and he's in a swamp and it comes out and his face. They're going his cheeks and his temples. Yeah. He's got about eight worms hanging off his face. Really good makeup. He's got like worms within and out of the face. Yeah. It's under the skin makeup. And it can't
And that's kind of now his look for the rest of the movie. Yeah, he's the worm guy. It's like a worm zombie.
It's like taking over his brain. It is, it is. And I didn't know if that's what they were going for, particularly at the end when he's almost worming his way up the stairs and the worms are pushing him up the stairs. You know what I mean? It's almost like he's become one of them. He wades off through the water.
screaming in pain with these worms in his face. And that's the last we see of him for a while. She doesn't know if he's dead or alive. Back to Mick, Detective Mick, Dick Mick.
He's now going to go cross-referencing x-rays with the jawbone he's just ripped off a skull. Because he doesn't care about getting laid now. He cares about hanging out with being a detective who's sidekick, the stoner.
and them guys just doing this whole fucking thing so what is going on man what are your priorities what is your agenda what are you doing
He's all over the place. He breaks into a doctor's or a dentist's office and Alma's like, what are you going to find? He's like, I'm looking for an x-ray that matches this skull.
And she likes a joint in the doctor's office. She likes a joint everywhere she goes. She's fucking Snoop Dogg.
and then he holds it up to the light, the x-ray, and he says, this matches the skull with the missing teeth. This is Beardsley's skull. Why is this? How does he know this for sure? Does he do this regularly? What is that? How is this?
conclusion come to him so quickly now while he's talking to stoner stoned elmer a worm riggles out of the skull's eye socket and away from them he doesn't see it
yeah it's it's so funny it's such as because of the nature of worms it would be easy just to put in a few buckets of worms and pollination somewhere they just don't do it it really is a slow burn it's not like there's gonna be a problem like the jaws of the shark was going wrong
so that's why it's only in it for a little bit at first. This you could put in loads of worms at any point, but you don't, you'll see like one worm, which is such a small amount.
it's like you miss it and if you look away for a moment you miss it and to be honest i did sarah said to me oh worms came out oh okay it's like i didn't rewind it because it's i've seen a worm and it's just one worm so it's so funny that it's literally next to nothing to
that point you say in that doorway when it's just a fucking wall of worms actual worms not cgi now we get a really pointless shot now of jerry in the shower
And I'm all for a shower scene, you know me, but she turns on the shower and while she's bending over, some worms start coming out of the shower head. It looks horrible.
But then they just vanish. They go back up because they're just put in reverse. So that's that. That was the end of that scene. Pointless, in my opinion. But it kind of sets up what happens later on to her sister, I guess. Jerry tells Mick...
What happened with Roger? Imagine that. How did it go on the boat while I left you with Roger? Well, he tried to kiss me and molest me. Then I pushed him over and then some worms...
dug into his face yeah then he fell in the water and ran off screaming and bleeding so why the fuck did you why the fuck have you come down here and just left me on a boat with this dude like what the shit well alma says to him well
i'll tell you what we were doing while you were almost getting raped by roger and the worm guy uh we found out that the skull is beardsley skull she's like why are you doing it on this why are you hacking out with my sister doing this investigation it is weird
And he says, let's go to the worm farm to find Roger. He might be still alive. No, don't go and find the rapey worm guy. It's like if Rob Zombie did a Scooby-Doo episode. But they drive off because they do want to find if Roger's alive or not.
I don't know. They arrive at the worm farm. Mick gets out of the car and starts searching for Roger. But meanwhile, Roger's creeping up behind them in the car. We can't see him initially. We just see him in the rear view mirror.
But when you do see him, he looks great. He's like a full-on, almost Romero zombie, isn't he? He looks great. Really good facial makeup and stuff on this. I do find the sheriff, and like, oh my God, he's sitting there eating.
His date is eating spaghetti. So you're just the whole time going, please. Well, just before that, the reason they go to the sheriff is because Mick finds Roger's dad lying on the ground.
And he's like, oh, my God. Oh, yeah, sorry, yes. And he goes over to him, and his chest starts pulsating, and then he rips open his shirt, and his torso is just worms. Full of worms. This is our first sort of actual shot, yeah.
of some horror yeah so they go to the sheriff and they find him and the whole time you're there going come on it's got to be worms at some point in a second you're going to eat a worm and it's not spaghetti it has to be
And it's just like, I don't understand it. I guess I'll have to just sit. It would be perfect because you've just shown that horror scene. It'd be absolutely perfect for one of them to have some, put a worm up to their mouth. Or even just...
cut to it perfect cut from worm to spaghetti because what there is actually again
There's a bit of a scene where they go to the police station and the cleaner says he's not here. I think he's gone for dinner with his date. If they'd have cut that out and they'd have cut straight from those worms, straight to him going...
sucking the spaghetti into his mouth because it's almost like um the substance is seen now because there's a lot of close-ups of spaghetti being sucked into mouths which is it's trying to get you to go like it wants you to want the worms
But it's weird because you've just had a scene where you've shown loads of worms. So why are you now hiding this? Just show us a fucking worm. It's, you know, going into mouth would be perfect because it shows us a dickhead and we want that. But, you know.
He's poking the bear now, though, because this sheriff's already been annoyed with him a couple of times. Now he's going up to him and telling him, the skeleton was Mr Beardsley, Roger is missing, and his dad is dead. And he's like...
You've got about 20 minutes till we've finished all of this spaghetti, son. That should be enough of a head start for you to try and start getting out of time before I hunt you down. What is he, John J Rambo? 20 minutes before I finish my spaghetti.
That was Liam Neeson, and I went straight to him. You've got 20 minutes before I finish my spaghetti bolognese. If you're not out of town by the time I have eaten this final meatball, I will find you, and I will kill you.
Mr. Neeson, the garlic bread's going to be another 20, so you better change that. Okay, it's going to be 40 minutes, and then I might have a tiramisu for dessert. No tiramisu, Mr. Neeson, I'm very sorry. Oh, for God's sake, do you have any cheesecake?
No. And it just goes in the kitchen and just takes them all out. Yeah. Cheesecake massacre. Taking worms. Cheesecake massacre. Liam Neeson. I'm surprised. That'll be out soon.
the amount of stuff he's doing at the moment he's probably actually making it as we know he's just wrapped on it 10 minutes ago that's that done that's the cheesecake massacre what do you mean there's a script for part two okay i'll do it
Or maybe it's taken four is they've taken his cheesecake. They took him. They took his wife. They took his daughter. Now they've taken his cheesecake. Those bastards. Yep.
There we go. So, he goes into the bar. Sorry, no, no, we've done that bit already. Dinner table. That's right.
uh they they go back to the beardsy's house i don't know why he's i've got to go back there i've got a feeling i'll find out some information if we go back there
He's not Magnum PI. Why is he doing this fucking investigation stuff? I don't know where it's come from. At no point is he... He didn't say early on like... So tell me about yourself when you're walking through the woods. I'm really into being a detective.
I fucking love Columbo. I watch Columbo all the time. I fucking love it. I'm just well up for waiting for, I just, I'm like, I want a case. I want a case. But you're not actually a period of investigate. No, I'm just, I'm just a dude.
but I'm on a case anyway. Wow. I'm actually just a tennis guy from New York. And I've got a tennis racket. Do you have a tennis racket? No. No, while they're at Beardsley's Farm...
looking around he does find some bloody clothes on the floor at the dinner table though is it was like maybe a bowl of like black beans or some shit but it was apart from that it was a bit of bread and two chickens
So what's going on with this? What's going on with this? He hears a noise coming from behind a door, like a shed door.
uh it goes to open the door but he doesn't and what we hear is like the sound of i guess worms you hear like a like millions of worms but he doesn't open the door and he figures out because he's a detective gav
Just by looking at these bloody clothes and hearing that noise. The worms did it. I figured it out. Yeah. The worms did it.
Then they have to go home and have dinner with their crazy mum. Yeah, this is the dinner which I was just speaking of, because this is where the tree comes randomly, falls in the house, correct? Yep.
It's so weird. So why does this happen now? I understand. We didn't have any shots beforehand building up to it. It just happened. What is going on?
Yeah, so it's dinner time. They're sat around the dinner table. They all know that there's a lot of dead bodies. Mum has no idea. She's just cross that her young daughter was annoyed by making the dinner. She makes it so uncomfortable.
She's like, you should have made the dinner for him. He's a guest in our house. He's been there for, what, a couple of days now? He must be like, I haven't even got a hand job. I don't know if this really is worth it, but I've got a detective case I wanted.
I've got it. I've taken it on. She says to her youngest daughter, make sure it's a good dinner because it's been many years since we've had a couple of hungry men around the dinner table in this household. She's invited Roger as well. She's got a soft spot for the local...
nutbag that lives next door on the worm farm however obviously roger's not coming to dinner because we know he's running through the woods with worms in his face um so the it's a really really really i've written here it's a really weird atmosphere
all right dinner because mum's acting more and more detached and mental yeah and just when things can get any worse and to be honest with you i've been to many a dinner dinner party where i wished this would happen just to make things more interesting or just so i could go home
A fucking tree just cleaves through the middle of the kitchen, on top of the dinner table, out of nowhere. It's quite a bizarre choice.
and it's obviously it's because of the worms are trying to get in the house and they've uprooted the tree because they go outside and have a look and underneath the tree there's just a ton of worms squirming around and he runs off to go and get a
Get some gasoline. We're going to burn them. And when he comes back, the worms have all gone. Back in the ground. I've written in brackets here, how fucking fast are these worms? They're super worms. They're super fast worms.
Fuck me, they're super fast. They're like, he's gone. Go, go. You've probably got one which is the leader.
Shout out commands, keeping an eye on all the people. Let's make it really mysterious for them. Go, go, go. Eerie, come on, people. Tip this tree, guys. You're nearly there. Yes, tip the tree. We've done it.
No one is actually hurt, considering a tree smashed through the kitchen table, but that they were all eating around. No one's hurt. No one pissed themselves. They're all fine. Jerry and Mick are really confused.
about what's going on and then again just out of nowhere light bulb he says i know what it is it's the power lines and how are you what are you just what who have you where are you you're not indiana jones look at you
He remembers that Roger told him his dad used to use his toy train to get worms out of the ground, so he puts it all together. It's strange casting. I feel like this should be cast by a different character, to be honest with you. It's a bit weird. I'd love to have seen.
Someone a bit more, you know. Stallone, imagine a Stallone doing that. A young Stallone, hey, come on, it's the worms. He says to Jerry, right, I'll go off and do some more investigating now. Why? Don't.
Don't tell your mum about any of this. Why? What's going on? She doesn't have a clue. She doesn't have a clue about anything anyway. Why tell your mum? What's the matter? What's your involvement with her mum? Nothing.
So while Mick's off doing his Magnum PI, the three girls, the mum and the two daughters, they start tidying up the house. They've got a tree in the kitchen to sort out. But rather than help, Alma says, oh, I'm going to go for a shower.
stoner and his sister says well there's no hot water so good luck so she goes upstairs and what comes out the shower again worms um
Mum notices from the tree that there's a little hole in the ceiling. A little glory hole. We know what's going to fall out of this glory hole at some point. And it's not Kevin's bacon. That's Kevin Bacon, not Kevin F5's bacon. It could be either.
Mick says I'm going to go and grab some wood to board up the house where's the nearest place I can get wood and she's like there's a sawmill
a mile away but how are you going to carry the wood back he goes i'll just figure that out when i get there he's got no plan this guy i don't understand i reckon this guy is actually having a mental breakdown
and come out of a relationship he's probably got a family of two children that dependent on it all of a sudden he's just like right that's it you don't want me around to the wife that is taking really badly he's like fuck it all of a sudden just answer the fucking random thing in a shop saying
man what city man wanted to come down to a redhead down here to i don't know probably get it on but i don't know at some point but just come down hang out oh
Yeah, and then they just communicated telepathically together and they just met in the woods and then he's just turned into a detective. It's very bizarre. But...
it's what makes this movie fun we're having a lot of fun talking about it and it's it is a lot of fun it's better than it not have been a boring movie you know
So he's carrying this massive, and I mean massive, piece of wood. Is he supposed to be trying to be Schwarzenegger? Because there's a bit later on where he's got his T-shirt he's set on fire and he's walking through the woods where it'll stick. Is he trying to be a predator?
i know arnie well he does his commando with this bit of wood on his shoulder but he's attacked he's like roger attacks him but this is like 70s so he's pre-arnie he is basically arnie we call him carny
The worms. It's the worms. The worms. That sounded more like Dracula. They want to suck your blood. The worms are coming for you.
uh roger attacks him throws him down into a gully and he looks i've written he looks all wormy because he does he looks so all wormed out right now and we don't know if the worms are getting to his brain or what right now but he's he's acting like an absolute
Crazy worm man. He throws the giant piece of wood down on top of Mick's unconscious body. They just throw stuff at him. And then...
That's all we see of Mick for now. Now, cut back to the bathtub. She's left the bath running because she's a stoner, Gav. She's come back downstairs. And the bath is overflowing with worms at this point. Neville must have set up for this.
Bring more buckets in. We need more buckets of worms. We're almost ready to shoot. She goes back up a candlelight and it's a very slow walk up the stairs with the camera in front and she walks along. So the camera's going backwards and she's walking towards the camera, walking along with a candle to her face.
It's quite good actually. It's quite nicely done. Yeah, because her mum says, what's that noise? And she says, oh, I've left the bathroom. I don't like the sound that they kept making for the worms. It's kind of a...
yeah just weird sound um and yeah she just opened the door this is our shot of the fucking a wall of worms and like it's such a quick shot though it's i don't know why they didn't leave it i'm guessing it probably wasn't real worms for
this but i don't know but somehow they got a door what's a door six six and a half foot yeah seven foot they got at least that many high worms
And they just fire them all out the door. It's a tsunami of worms when you open the bathroom door. It looks great. And it's also disgusting at the same time.
I like the fact that the sheriff is now like, yeah, great. I'm getting it on in one of my cells with the lady. Yeah, brilliant. We've eaten spaghetti. Now we're getting it on. And he's just going to be swamped by this just next to him.
doesn't notice. It's literally just next to him. Loads of worms coming in the police cell. Loads and loads. She says to him, he says, what do you think of the accommodation? Because they're in the jail.
And she's like, what's the food like? And he's like, oh, the bread and water you can eat. And they're like, he's just a dirty old fucker, isn't he? This is horrible. But Mick wakes up in the pit and there's worms all around him everywhere.
So yeah, this is where he goes all ash from evil dead, rips off his shirt, makes a torch out of... How does he light it with his lighter, I suppose? He lights his shirt on a stick.
And he realises... I imagine he might even have x-ray eyes for all I know. Well, he uses the fire and it repels the worms, so he realises the worms don't like the light, which is why they're hiding in the darkness and in the dark soil.
But he can't find his glasses. He does have Elmer. He can't find his glasses. So he has to just climb out the gully and hops back with his bad leg back to the house with a flaming torch like a hero. Meanwhile, back to the sheriff.
pretty disgusting she's uh feels something i don't know where she feels it i think you can probably guess oh stop doing that and he's like i'm not doing anything because you're doing it again oh stop it
Yeah, but then she gets annoyed and it's like, I wonder where he's going. He might be going down south. It's like that movie where the rat goes in the woman's sleeping bag and crawls in her.
What movie was that? I think that was a Forchy movie. Possibly. I don't remember now. Yes, the worms start pouring in the room, the jails, vents, and, yeah, they get killed by the worms. Which is great.
And the last shot of that is just a toilet overflowing with worms. It's not a nice shot, really.
um then we cut to the bar the local bar and all the locals are in there and it's night and it's all the lights right because there's no electricity and they've all got candles and then one of them says what's that sound and then he holds his cigarette lighter near the floor and it's like that indiana jones bit
Yeah, yeah. The floor is just worms. Wiggling. They all get on the bar and start screaming. It's quite cheaply done here because the camera's down low filming upwards. Then it's just shots close-ups of worms. You never see it at the same time, so I presume they...
at that point they're like let's get through this quicker we don't need to put the itchy worms here at the moment i assume assume they will die in the barn because i think everybody in the town is going to get wiped out um back at the house roger
the zombie roger worm guy is peeking through the window at jerry so he's still there what's he thinking no yeah she's already said no to you on the boat she's not going to want you now you've got a face full of worms but he's peeping in the windows
um jerry starts seeing worms everywhere and she says um where's alma mama where's alma she's upstairs having a bath and then roger suddenly just grabs jerry
Mum has no idea any of this is going on. She's sitting in the armchair knitting or something. Just no idea that...
Her daughter's been attacked by a zombie monster worm guy. The other daughter's been missing upstairs. There's a tree in the kitchen, mum. There's a fucking tree in the kitchen. No, well out of it. I didn't care.
She must be on some good meds. Mick arrives home and he sees billions and billions of worms all around the house. Shirtless Mick, I might add. He walks inside the house. He says, Jerry!
Jerry! And the floor now is just all worms and it does look really gross. That's where he finds mum wormed. Mum's been wormed. Wormified!
It's just like, it reminded me a bit of Stephen King's character in Creepshow when he gets all the moss all over him. Geordie, whatever. Geordie, yeah. It's just all over him.
But again, the light repels them, so he uses the light to part the worms at the Red Sea. I want to know what's going on here. Why is...
Why did Roger become king of worms, or just, not even king of worms, just one of them, but a human one? Why not anyone else? And why, what's his agenda? He all of a sudden still wants the woman, so he's tied her up in a loft.
And we've got our weird guys coming from City who really must want to get laid at this point now. You know, he's put a lot of effort into this whole scheme. Yeah, because Mick goes upstairs. Now...
this is very confusing because there's this it sounds like he hears singing coming from the attic but it's actually the score um but it's confusing they shouldn't have used a voice because it's like a little girl going
I thought, yeah, I thought it was supposed to be up in a loft and trying to put him up. But I think it was just a scorer. Roger coaxing him up just so they could kill him. It's such a weird thing. Yeah, it's weird. But Roger pulls him up into the attic and he sees that he's got...
jerry up there um tied up don't know what he's planning on doing maybe infecting her with worms maybe just i don't know but then he fights mick um
And Roger falls down into the floor and is eaten by the worms, we think. He cuts Jerry, Mick cuts Jerry down. They climb down the ladder. But Roger stood alive in the worm sea.
the sea of worms and he's sort of swimming through these worms and you know at this point
Her entire family are dead. Then somehow the worms push Roger up the stairs or he...
he is a worm, because it looks like he's sort of worming his way up the stairs, but I think it's these worms pushing him up the stairs. It's so weird. It's really, here, it's actually really quite disturbing, actually, if you look at it. I was like, this is really disgusting.
And they're climbing out the window, Mick and Jerry, and Roger bites Mick on the leg. And just before he bites him, his head's sideways, and he opens up his mouth. It's such a good shot.
I was like, that's proper horror movie stuff. It is disturbing. It is. Yeah. But Mick clubs him to death with a flashlight, and then they climb out the window into a tree.
And they wait there, and then the morning comes. And they fall asleep, and then just some guy doesn't think anything of these two people and calls them lovebirds because he assumes that they're in love, so they sleep in trees. Hey, what? He says, hey, lovebirds.
Just to let you know the power is fixed. He said, God damn it, this entire town has been without power. You'd think someone would pick up the phone when the lines were fixed, but no one has. I've tried ringing and not a single damn phone in this town is picking up.
the worms are all gone so I assume we assume as an audience the entire town have been wiped out leaving just Mick and Jerry but all of a sudden
alma pops out of a big chest and she's been hiding she probably fell asleep stone to be honest with me probably was just probably thought it was the bath got in it and uh she's still alive and then they see her
She runs in the house, they reunite, and that's the end credits. So actually Alma, Jerry, and Detective Mick do survive. This is bizarre, this film. It's...
It should just be a straightforward creature feature, but the fact that you've got Mick who goes rogue detective halfway through... It's a very complex thing going on.
You've got Roger the worm gun. We don't know if he's infected in the brain with worms, if he is the king of the worms, or if the worms are controlling him, just pushing him along. Crazy mum.
Horrible Sheriff. It's brilliant. It's absolutely brilliant, this film. If you've never seen it, guys...
You've got to check it out. It is just out there. Out of the other one we watched, it's got a lot more thing crazy shit going on. So just breaking it down with you here and just trying to work out the actions of people, which we still don't know why.
end of it we don't know why Mick's just gone into some fucking
Everything you can think of, Bruce Lee, James Bond, fucking, you know, everyone. Where's this come from? Where's this come from? But we got along with it and it's kind of fun. So, yeah, thumbs up for this one. I'm probably not going to repeat viewing too much of it.
but um it was fine to watch the movie so thank you kev i didn't yeah dislike them like you probably thought i was going to uh the other one the latter uh no the earlier one um was more um
uh a little bit slower for me but um and not so much going on but this one it was a lot more sort of fun there's a lot of crazy going on and quite gross at times and those some of those shots are quite horrific like proper you can imagine those as photographs in like fangoria or you know
sort of thing yeah yeah all all um all my cards on the table i actually went into recording with you for this episode liking the boogins a bit more but
Now we've talked through Squirm, I think Squirm is the better movie. Yeah, it's better. It's got more money to it. I really like Buggins, though. I did like the Buggins. You know, it's fun. I'll go back to the both. It's got a certain charm to it, for sure.
people would be like oh this is perfect they'd really get it you know but thank you kevin um really
you always pick what all of our patrons do but really crazy wonderful films you know i'd never seen the legacy before you put you pick that one and i've never seen the boogans and you pick that one so i'm really really pleased
to review these and that's why I love doing the patron pics so that's that thumbs up from us both for both your movies we'll take a short break now get out of it
And we're back again. And we're back again to say goodbye. Bye. Well, first of all, I need to remove the crown from Kevin. Thank you so much, Kevin, for your pics. I'll pop that back in the...
box ready for the next patron in a few episodes time but that's been a fun one that was episode 184 let's talk about what's coming up next gav gav gavster yep tell me tell me tell me
Our next episode is our Halloween episode. Oh, it is indeed. Episode 185 will be our Halloween special. We'll be talking all things Halloween. And as has been tradition for many years now...
we will be covering the next instalments of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween. So we'll be covering A Nightmare on Elm Street, the sixth one, which is called Final Nightmare.
I don't remember it at all. And we'll be covering...
Halloween 6, The Curse of Michael Myers from 1995. See, there's these times you think, there's only a short amount of time in this planet, we're here, and then you have to cover Halloween 6, the producer's cut, and it makes you go, oh my god.
question everything but that means next year we'll be able to do Halloween H20 yeah I know which is great
So that's what's coming up for our next episode. After that, episode 186 will be going found footage on your ass with Ghostwatch from 1992.
And the similarly themed found footage in a TV studio, Late Night with the Devil. Amazing. Both really good. Really interesting talks, both of them. Yeah, 1992 and 2023. Huge.
gap in them but similarly themed and i'm really looking forward to to watching those and talking about them with you and after that episode 187 will be a director special mr fulci
We'll be looking at Fulci. We'll be covering two of his more less batshit crazy, but still batshit crazy films. City of the Living Dead from 1980.
And 1981's The House by the Cemetery. Oh, that's interesting. I love both of those. A lot of crazy weird bugs in those as well, so...
good zombies uh we can get in deep down with mr falchi and find out all about how he how he does his thing and why he does what he does and his style and all that kind of stuff and his back catalog you know how it goes that's what's coming up
Halloween episode next, then fine footage, followed by 40 episodes. So three great episodes coming out. And we'll be edgy. Nightmare on Elm Street 6, did you say? Yeah, Nightmare on Elm Street, Final Nightmare.
Yeah, Freddy's Dead, the final right now. Oh, okay. Thought it was different than the title. It was the one that they sort of teased was going to end the franchise. And actually, they did only make one more after that, unless you include Freddy versus Jason, which was two more after that.
But yeah, so there's only really two more Freddy's after that one. And there's only, well, there's a couple more Halloweens. I don't think we'll go past the original series, though. I don't think we'll be getting into Rob Zombie territory or the remakes.
Well, that's funny and interesting because it would have been interesting to have a conversation about the Rob Zombie one.
I mean, we could do the Rob Zombie 1 and 2. I don't know about Part 2, but I think Part 2, we've got a lot of problems, is hassled a lot by the studio.
well i'll tell you what we could do gav we could do the friday the thirtieth night round street remake and rob zombies halloween
Because I've only ever watched that Nightmare on Elm Street remake once. I remember thinking it was absolutely awful. No, that's not the Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
no way we've done our bad we have a private I'd like to like do conversations we can have a good
films we can have a good conversation about yeah yeah totally totally I think I think Rob Zombie's Halloween I think justified for a good conversation yeah I quite I quite enjoy it interesting look at it and it's someone's just taking it different ways
So, you know, yeah. That's what's coming up next. Before we say our goodbyes and goodnights, though, I'll do a little bit of housekeeping and admin, and then we can say goodbye to everybody. Okay.
