Poltergeist (1982)


The Poltergeist 1982 Review is here, and this one sits right in that sweet spot of childhood nostalgia and genuine horror. Back in the day, this was the movie that introduced a lot of us to scary films, not full nightmare fuel, but just enough to mess with your head when the lights went out, and the TV started crackling.
This week, Whitey, Damo, and special guest Bones dive into one of the most iconic supernatural films of the 80s, and the big question is simple: Does Poltergeist still hold up in 2026, or is it just a gateway horror that we've all outgrown?
Straight out of the gates, the boys tap into what made this film so memorable: the everyday setting. A normal suburban house, a normal family, and then chaos. No castles, no haunted mansions, just your lounge room turning against you. As Whitey points out early, the idea that something as harmless as a TV could become the centre of pure evil is what makes this movie stick.
Damo leans into the horror side of things, admitting that this one genuinely got under his skin as a kid. And it's easy to see why. From the clown doll to the tree scene and the infamous "They're here" moment, there are multiple sequences that hit differently when you're young. Watching it back now, though, the question becomes whether those moments still land, or if they've lost their punch.
Enter Bones, who brings a slightly different perspective. While most people have this film high on their childhood watch list, he admits it never really made it into his rotation. When you're choosing between Rocky, Raiders, or Predator, Poltergeist just didn't get a look in. And that creates an interesting dynamic. Is this movie elevated by nostalgia, or does it genuinely stand on its own?
What quickly becomes clear is that this film is better than it probably should be. The performances, especially from JoBeth Williams and Craig T. Nelson, give the movie real weight. The family dynamic feels believable, and when things start going wrong, you actually care. That’s not always the case with horror films, especially from this era.
The boys also break down the pacing, which is one of the film's more interesting aspects. There are long stretches of calm, almost too calm, before things escalate quickly. It creates tension, but also raises the question: Is it slightly too long in parts?
And then there's the logic, or lack of it. Why don't they leave earlier? Why does the family seem to embrace the chaos at times? These are the kinds of questions that always come up when revisiting older films, and Poltergeist is no exception.
But despite all of that, there's something about it. Whether it's the Spielberg touch, the balance of horror and humour, or just the pure nostalgia, this is a movie that still works more often than not.
So where does it land? Is it still a classic, or just a stepping stone into better horror movies?

Unknown Speaker (0:00): In a time when TV stations turned off overnight, who would have thought that the static screen they left behind could be so scary? In 1982, Poltergeist showed us that even man's best friend, the TV,
Unknown Speaker (0:17): could be used for evil.
Unknown Speaker (0:36): I think the poltergeist is a form of gateway drug for kids to enter the horror realm. Scary enough not to cause sleepless nights and without the gore that might cause PTSD. Poltergeist had the poltergeist. Poltergeist. How many times you think I'm gonna fuck that up tonight?
Unknown Speaker (0:54): A lot. Poltergeist had the perfect mix to ensure that everyone in the family could take something away from it. But does it work in 2026? Let's find out. Daymo.
Unknown Speaker (1:10): Welcome. Yep. Scary movie.
Speaker 1 (1:13): We should be doing this in the dark with a couple of torches under our chins.
Unknown Speaker (1:18): Yeah. We're in a campfire. Yeah. Campfire?
Unknown Speaker (1:21): I've got some thoughts on this movie in general. Spooky. Yeah. It's a pretty good movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:24): Yeah. I'm interested to hear what our guest, special guest tonight.
Unknown Speaker (1:28): Oh, is he?
Unknown Speaker (1:29): He calls himself number ninety eight. We call himself Craig Wing.
Unknown Speaker (1:32): Was it number 96? Was it that show where it used to be the Aussie show?
Unknown Speaker (1:35): Did Nabogail get a tits out?
Unknown Speaker (1:36): Yeah. I get that one. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:39): That number 69 was a firm favorite of mine.
Unknown Speaker (1:41): Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (1:43): Two men. Our great mate Bones wearing the LA Rams hat. Hello, mate. How are you?
Unknown Speaker (1:48): Hello, mate. Great to be back.
Unknown Speaker (1:51): Yeah, mate. Too long too long too long between drinks.
Unknown Speaker (1:54): Was it was it John Wick? Was that the last one you were on? Was that
Unknown Speaker (1:59): John Wick or Star Wars?
Unknown Speaker (2:02): I reckon No. It's think it was John Wick.
Speaker 1 (2:04): John Wick a couple of months ago? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (2:06): Definitely. Yep.
Speaker 2 (2:08): Honest. Stephen Bradbury of the podcasting world. It runs
Unknown Speaker (2:12): Oh, he's a Bradbury.
Unknown Speaker (2:14): And I've just
Unknown Speaker (2:15): Look. To in all honesty, a few people do need to fall over for Sloane to get a gig, and and we've had that. So he's up.
Speaker 2 (2:23): Say a lot about me or this movie.
Unknown Speaker (2:27): Well, I'm actually super interested to hear what Bones has to say because when I messaged him asking him if he'd be free to come on, he said, any chance of changing the movie? And I and I said, well, you know, I could have you on another couple weeks where there could be a spot. And he goes, no. No. No.
Unknown Speaker (2:46): I'll do it. I just wasn't much of a fan as a kid.
Speaker 1 (2:49): That's a that's a real Morgz type of answer. That that's sort of, you know, I wouldn't expect that from you.
Speaker 2 (2:55): Yeah. Would you would you what if if I put it this way that in 1982, probably more like '85, '86, when you're going down the video store, if poltergeist is there and you've got Rocky three, Raiders, Predators, you know what I mean? You're not Yeah. Reaching for poltergeist. So that's where I'm coming from.
Speaker 2 (3:19): I'm not saying it.
Unknown Speaker (3:22): No. I think
Speaker 2 (3:22): it's movie, it just was on the bottom of my list when I was choosing
Unknown Speaker (3:27): It was quite a competitive year. Yeah. Yeah. The eighties in general were super competitive.
Speaker 1 (3:33): In fact, there was good videos every freaking week. Every week. Just dropping. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (3:38): And that's and and I don't think there was ever a decade like the eighties when it came to the competition for movies, especially on a Friday night at the video show. Yeah. Like, you went down, you wanted a movie, you had to get in early, and sometimes just loiter around the return shoot.
Unknown Speaker (3:54): Oh, you I didn't do that.
Unknown Speaker (3:56): Okay. Occasionally loiter. Yeah. Yeah. And I and I waited for three to come in.
Unknown Speaker (4:00): Went to pounce when someone walks in the door. Do you remember when it
Unknown Speaker (4:04): Scanning in. When you it'd be behind the cover, and you think it was yeah. He looks behind you, like, fuck. It's not there. Fuck.
Unknown Speaker (4:13): Yeah. Yep. I hated that. I hated that so much.
Unknown Speaker (4:16): Hated it. Yep. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (4:18): Which was why in my video shop, but I think in yours as well, only the case is on the shelf.
Unknown Speaker (4:23): Yep. You
Unknown Speaker (4:23): know? If there was nothing there, there was nothing there. Yeah. To try and fill the shelf.
Unknown Speaker (4:28): Yeah. It's not there. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (4:30): It's when you'd have,
Unknown Speaker (4:31): like, seven of the same movie horror movie.
Unknown Speaker (4:35): You'd have seven of some land that came out that way.
Unknown Speaker (4:38): Have you got any other movies here? It's like, oh, they're gone.
Unknown Speaker (4:40): When when when the dark night came out and I had, like, 64 copies and they were all out, there was no way I could fill the 64 spots. There was, you know, there was five spots full of movies gone. Anyway, we are, of course, born to watch the movie podcast where we don't take ourselves or the movies too seriously unless, Damo. Unless it's during a snobbers report. Oh, and what about tonight?
Unknown Speaker (5:06): Got one.
Unknown Speaker (5:07): Yep. I reckon Jo Beth might get a candle.
Unknown Speaker (5:09): She's dabbled in the arts.
Unknown Speaker (5:10): Yeah. I like dark arts.
Unknown Speaker (5:13): The arts. Okay. I like it.
Unknown Speaker (5:15): The spirits couldn't get the top off.
Speaker 1 (5:17): They tried, didn't they?
Unknown Speaker (5:18): Yeah. They did try. Yeah. I'll tell you what, I think she's got a bit of a saggony wave going on.
Speaker 1 (5:24): That was a bit ghostbuster ish. Oh, you're talking about the actual amount of scruff?
Unknown Speaker (5:27): Scruffage. She's got some she's definitely got some scruffage. Right. And George Bush. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (5:36): Overs and Under's, gents, 1982 movie, 44 years old. That's really old. Really old. I'm gonna look. This is hyper conservative.
Unknown Speaker (5:49): Seven. I'm gonna start with our guest. I think we already sort of understand where he might be. Bones, overs and unders of seven. Do you remember first seeing it?
Unknown Speaker (6:00): Oh, definitely on VHS. I'd be under seven, I reckon. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (6:08): Yeah. A lot under?
Unknown Speaker (6:09): Or is this like movies you've watched once?
Unknown Speaker (6:13): Nah. I'd be like probably five, I reckon. Today was yesterday was six.
Unknown Speaker (6:19): Okay. You know, G Man was a demo one watch, Dragon Tattoo.
Unknown Speaker (6:23): Saw that. Yeah. Yeah. Aesthetic.
Unknown Speaker (6:25): Yeah. Well, you know, even when you're not What were
Unknown Speaker (6:28): you on that, Damon?
Speaker 1 (6:30): Oh, I haven't oh, no. Well You did more than one. I have seen both of them, and I've read the books. Yeah. So that should count as three.
Speaker 1 (6:37): As a snorze report? Yeah. I think I watched the Swedish one twice. I have. And the English one once.
Unknown Speaker (6:43): Oh, you were missed. You were missed for the smiles before for
Unknown Speaker (6:45): that one.
Unknown Speaker (6:45): Yeah. Damo, overs and under seven. First time seeing it.
Unknown Speaker (6:49): I honestly, I think I saw this at the movies.
Unknown Speaker (6:51): I reckon this would be in your movie. Will, I assume. Would have been about 10. Twelve.
Unknown Speaker (6:55): Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (6:56): Yeah. I was trying to give you a little Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (6:57): Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (6:58): It's $82.12. Yeah. I reckon I think because there's some bits in this that I remember so strongly that fading can scarred me for life. And and I reckon I've seen it probably five times, though.
Unknown Speaker (7:11): Okay. That's
Speaker 1 (7:12): a that's a lot. But, yeah, I really remember some bits in this so strongly. This is and I've got this in
Unknown Speaker (7:20): my good, bad. This is a better movie than it deserves to be. This is I think the script's pretty solid.
Unknown Speaker (7:26): Well, I think Steven's Steven's. Yeah. Think the acting's really great.
Unknown Speaker (7:32): Yeah. Really good. But I'll I'll dive into it a bit further. Look. I look.
Unknown Speaker (7:36): You know what? I think I'm just over seven. I'm not gonna be eight or nine. I saw this when Luke was a kid. I made him watch it.
Unknown Speaker (7:45): I've watched this
Unknown Speaker (7:46): Made him watch it?
Unknown Speaker (7:47): Yeah. Well, you know, when you're looking for movies to sort of transition them
Unknown Speaker (7:50): Okay.
Unknown Speaker (7:50): Because you get sick of watching you really get sick of watching movies that are for them. You get sick of watching kids movies. Right? And you just are starving for something that you can sort of at least be remotely into. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (8:04): And so I thought, well, he starts asking about horror movies.
Unknown Speaker (8:08): So, oh, well, we'll just as
Unknown Speaker (8:09): I said, it's a gateway drug. I'll let you in. He he we watched it with him, and I watched it when with Bill a few years ago. So but I haven't watched it as a movie for, god, I'd say ten, fifteen, twenty years before that. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (8:26): So look, maybe eight or nine. I I really enjoyed this watch. Yeah. Like, I I think it's a better movie than I remembered. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (8:35): Which doesn't happen very often when we do this. No. Generally, I'm let down. Yeah. You are.
Unknown Speaker (8:40): Yeah. Like with American Ninja. Jesus. Which was abysmal. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (8:48): Did you get anyone defending American?
Unknown Speaker (8:50): No one defended it.
Unknown Speaker (8:51): We thought Sloane might have got you on the phone. No.
Unknown Speaker (8:53): Sloane actually Sloane actually agreed.
Unknown Speaker (8:55): Not you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (8:57): Yeah. I watched it. I knew it'd be coming up at some stage. I reckon I watched it about a year ago, and I thought I just got through it. It was that bad.
Speaker 2 (9:08): I was like Oh, god. Just destroyed his childhood memory. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (9:12): Yeah. I I gotta say the best thing about American Ninja is Gao's kick ass credit song. Yeah. The cabadero.
Unknown Speaker (9:18): Well, it was in it was bilingual.
Unknown Speaker (9:20): Mate, it's
Unknown Speaker (9:20): That's another level.
Unknown Speaker (9:23): Going back through the kick ass credit songs with Hirschfelda Yeah. Over the last few days, there's a lot of bilingual, mostly by Morgz looking himself out.
Unknown Speaker (9:32): Yeah. It would be him.
Unknown Speaker (9:33): Yeah. But Morgz actually, for the running man, did a bilingual where he actually plays Yaffet Koto's character
Unknown Speaker (9:41): Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker (9:41): And Arnie's character speaking German. He loves the German, doesn't he? The German.
Speaker 1 (9:45): And Japanese. German Japanese. Yeah. Yeah. He's a dick.
Speaker 1 (9:51): Anyway,
Unknown Speaker (9:53): let me strap in. I'm gonna tell you a little bit about poltergeist. Life is very pleasant in the close knit, frailing family until a host of other worldly forces invades their peaceful suburban home. It starts with just an occurrence or two, but soon their house is turned into a swirling supernatural sideshow. The forces at work are anything but friendly.
Unknown Speaker (10:21): And if the luckless freelings don't clear out soon, they'll all be swept off into nightmarish chaos. Astounding, absorbing, yet laced with humor and warmth. Poltergeist, polter see if
Unknown Speaker (10:36): you find.
Unknown Speaker (10:37): Oh, you
Unknown Speaker (10:37): got it?
Unknown Speaker (10:38): Fucking I've done it again. Poltergeist is a work of art, full of spine snapping chills. One hour, fifty five minutes rated BG.
Unknown Speaker (10:50): Okay. It was kinda hard to follow along with that one.
Unknown Speaker (10:52): Yeah. Well, it's a scary good family, scary things happen.
Unknown Speaker (10:56): They leave too late. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (10:58): Yeah. Standard. Could have just said that. Family, scary things happen. They don't leave.
Unknown Speaker (11:03): Yeah. They don't leave. I don't understand it. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (11:07): I don't understand it. And I've got a question in question time.
Unknown Speaker (11:10): Embraced it. They embraced it. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (11:13): Okay. They embraced it. Dad didn't look too good embracing it. I'll give you the fucking tea.
Speaker 1 (11:18): Well, that's when she was missing, but before that, they did.
Unknown Speaker (11:20): Yeah. God. Yeah. That looked terrible.
Unknown Speaker (11:22): Come have a look at this. Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:23): Yeah. Put the helmet on.
Unknown Speaker (11:26): Yeah. Mom was all over it. Yeah. I know. Hippie.
Unknown Speaker (11:30): Alright. Let's watch the trailer.
Unknown Speaker (11:34): The house looks just like the one next to it and the one next to that and the one next to that. A young couple live in it. Give Ken a kiss.
Unknown Speaker (11:49): You are so am I
Unknown Speaker (11:52): With their three children. And something more.
Unknown Speaker (12:10): They're here. Sweetie, mister Last night, do you remember when you woke up and you sit there? Uh-huh. Well, who did you meet? Who's here?
Unknown Speaker (12:21): TP people.
Unknown Speaker (12:23): Something's funny going on here next door. Something
Unknown Speaker (12:27): We were wondering if maybe you had experienced any disturbances.
Unknown Speaker (12:33): What kind of disturbances? I
Unknown Speaker (12:38): don't know what happened over over this house. I've never since seen anything like it. That thing is in there with my baby.
Unknown Speaker (12:53): They're hungry. Now Steven Spielberg crosses a frightening new threshold into a world within our own. Its form is revealed. What is it? Its focus is clear.
Unknown Speaker (13:12): And the games are over.
Unknown Speaker (13:38): Poltergeist.
Unknown Speaker (13:41): It knows what scares you.
Unknown Speaker (13:47): Oh, pretty good trailer. Long one. Long. But jeez, it
Speaker 1 (13:51): it's hot enough and so much shit going on in that house. Gives away a bit. It does, but you can't really work out when it's all happening. It's like it looks like it's really building up to one hell of a climax, this movie.
Unknown Speaker (14:05): It's like a Friday night in Vicky Point.
Unknown Speaker (14:07): Oh, yeah. Building up to a huge climate. Massive. Critical
Unknown Speaker (14:18): thinking. IMDb rates poltergeist 7.3 out of 10. Certified fresh 88% on the tomato meter. Mhmm. 79% on the popcorn meter.
Unknown Speaker (14:33): 0% on the cryometer.
Speaker 1 (14:35): I think you forget them one bit when Tweedy died.
Unknown Speaker (14:40): She gets over it for me.
Unknown Speaker (14:41): She gets some tears. Gets over Anyone cries? Signs you cry when the little bird died?
Speaker 2 (14:45): It reminded me of when Lily's bird died in my hand.
Unknown Speaker (14:50): By by your hand or in your hand? Did you
Unknown Speaker (14:53): No. In my hand.
Unknown Speaker (14:55): What? You were comforting the bird and it died.
Speaker 2 (14:57): There's something wrong with the bird. I picked it up in my hand, and then I said, I think it's dead. And then Lily bursts out crying like the kid in the show.
Unknown Speaker (15:07): Oh, god.
Unknown Speaker (15:08): It's almost like Yeah. Petey selling did you go and sell it to the blind kid? Go and sell it to the blind kid down the street then?
Unknown Speaker (15:14): Put a tape around her neck.
Unknown Speaker (15:16): Petey. He's a pretty bird. Yeah. That bit too did you notice too the the boy said I can't even remember what he's saying, the the the son.
Unknown Speaker (15:26): Bucky boover.
Unknown Speaker (15:27): Yeah. He said, when the body rots, can we dig it up and look at the bones? Funny. Was that some sort
Unknown Speaker (15:34): of bit of force foreshadowing? Yeah. Yeah. Definitely.
Unknown Speaker (15:38): Because it was and I was because I when he when I heard him say that, I thought, I'm gonna look to see if this little bird comes out. It didn't. But I just thought, what was the point of saying that? Like, it was just
Unknown Speaker (15:49): Well, that was just adding to
Unknown Speaker (15:50): the ordinary It was in the ground. Bloody hell. Into the cemetery. Yeah. It's already there.
Unknown Speaker (15:54): Yeah. You didn't move the place. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (16:00): Okay. IMDb equals 7.3. Now pretty good list here and a couple of Sloane's favorites. And and, Bones, I'm gonna let you let me know which ones you think are your favorites. Starting off with one that I think you love, The Guard.

Unknown Speaker (17:52): Son of bitch shit. So good. Couple of reviews. We're gonna start with a good one. Vincent Canby of the New York Times.
Unknown Speaker (18:02): Poltergeist is like a thoroughly enjoyable nightmare. One that you know that you can always wake up from and one in which at the end, no one has been permanently damaged. It's also witty in a fashion that Alfred Hitchcock might have appreciated. Oh, a Hitchcock reference. Hitchcockian.
Unknown Speaker (18:21): Is it? Hitchcockian.
Unknown Speaker (18:23): Wow. I
Unknown Speaker (18:25): tend to agree with it. I think it's a it's it's a no harm, no fuss scary movie.
Unknown Speaker (18:30): Well, I didn't I like well, it depends on how old you are because it
Unknown Speaker (18:34): I'm concerned that at your age, you were a bit scared.
Unknown Speaker (18:38): I wasn't scared this time because I knew exactly, but I know when I first saw it, it scared the shit out
Unknown Speaker (18:42): of me. Megan said the same thing.
Unknown Speaker (18:43): Scared the living shit out of me.
Unknown Speaker (18:45): Yeah. Bad review. Alma Halfordson of bbc.com. This is a film that tends to annoy as if it had been more taught and consistent. It could have been far more exciting.
Unknown Speaker (19:02): Okay.
Unknown Speaker (19:03): I've got it in my good to bad. Might be a little long.
Unknown Speaker (19:09): Yeah. Well, because it ends and then it
Unknown Speaker (19:11): ends like The double ending is unneeded.
Unknown Speaker (19:13): But it's good though.
Unknown Speaker (19:14): It's a good double ending.
Speaker 1 (19:15): Yeah. I think it's good. But no. There there's a lots of long you know, like when they're talking with the lady who's the psychologist Yes. Their conversations are quite long and they're whispering.
Speaker 1 (19:25): They are. I I felt it really relaxing
Unknown Speaker (19:27): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (19:27): Listening to their whispering call.
Unknown Speaker (19:29): Calm before
Speaker 1 (19:29): the storm. Yeah. And that's what I think it was. It was they had so many longer calm moments to then throw in to just to get you sort of relaxed and off guard and then go pow.
Unknown Speaker (19:40): Yeah. Slap you across the face. With some sandwiches. Yeah. Dog piss sandwiches.
Unknown Speaker (19:49): Okay. Hold on.
Unknown Speaker (19:56): Ordinary people.
Unknown Speaker (19:58): A good cast.
Unknown Speaker (19:58): I think the two leads in this cast are great. Yeah. I think Craig T. Nelson and Jo Beth Williams are amazing, actually. Really good.
Unknown Speaker (20:07): Really hold the movie together. I think her in particular. She's excellent. Yeah. She's excellent in this movie.
Unknown Speaker (20:13): I know. And, you know, there's something about movies with strong women, and it's so true. Like, whenever the shit hits the fan, mom tends to be the one mopping stuff up. Yep. Like, he's a bit hopeless when the shit hits the fan, the dad.
Unknown Speaker (20:29): Oh, he wasn't there near the end, though, I think. But
Unknown Speaker (20:31): No. But he he's he's looks like he's fucking hasn't slept from
Unknown Speaker (20:36): Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (20:36): Yeah. Yeah. And mom looks like fresh.
Unknown Speaker (20:38): Yeah. Well, I mean, his daughter's missing Yeah. Into TV land. So let's
Unknown Speaker (20:43): start with mom, Jo Beth Williams, Diane. I just wanna talk a little bit about her in the movie. Don't get a delve into her career.
Unknown Speaker (20:50): Well, she's not in A lot
Unknown Speaker (20:51): of She's not in heaps of stuff. No. In this, she's awesome. She's like super mom.
Unknown Speaker (20:57): Yeah. She's great.
Unknown Speaker (20:58): Really really good. She'd be good fun. Yep. You know, she she's pretty good sort. She's good sort.
Unknown Speaker (21:04): She looks far too young to have a 16 year old daughter.
Unknown Speaker (21:07): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (21:07): She's got a punch a punch shot for the weed, and there's no doubt. There is no doubt that old Steve O gets blown semi regularly.
Unknown Speaker (21:15): How old hang on. How old was the dad do you reckon in this?
Unknown Speaker (21:18): See, I reckon the I reckon the dad in real life, she's 33. Yeah. In the movie, she's
Speaker 1 (21:25): 32. When he goes to the police, he said, my wife's 32. Okay. My daughter's 16. So then you start going, well, Kate
Unknown Speaker (21:30): She's 16.

Unknown Speaker (27:44): It opened on 06/04/1982 and did 6,900,000.0 in its opening weekend. So nearly made its budget back in the first weekend. Really?
Speaker 1 (27:55): Success. Had good advertising campaign. I do remember it. Like, the ads were it was like, I want to go and see that.
Unknown Speaker (28:01): Well, you you could do a thirty second trial of that that would hook you ultimately.
Speaker 1 (28:04): Look. Because I I because I had an older sister and she's all of her friends and all talking about polar guys. So that's why it's like, oh, what's it? I've got to see this. This is amazing.

Speaker 1 (29:09): You don't need
Speaker 2 (29:10): to ask The kids originally said Rocky three, but then they wound themselves back to ET. So ET is the gift.
Unknown Speaker (29:18): It's a pretty good one.
Unknown Speaker (29:19): It had to be. Yeah. I'll tell you what, a lot
Unknown Speaker (29:22): of parallels between this movie and ET, I reckon. The bedrooms, the kids' bedrooms, the Star Wars.

Unknown Speaker (30:44): It is. The sketches are evil bastards. It's super scary.
Unknown Speaker (30:47): Yeah. It really is. It's a good movie. It's not a kids movie.
Speaker 1 (30:50): It it is, but it's not as well. Good call, Dame.
Unknown Speaker (30:54): I've got the dud. I've got Halloween three season of the witch. Oh, Jesus. The one where it's it doesn't have Michael Myers in it. It's got the masks, and they put the masks on and it and it eats the Is Jamie Lee in it?
Unknown Speaker (31:08): No. Okay. It's got it's complete they thought, no. We don't need Michael Myers for this to work. Wrong.
Unknown Speaker (31:15): Wrong. Season of the witch.
Unknown Speaker (31:16): Season of the witch. There's a
Unknown Speaker (31:17): I don't think I've ever seen it.
Unknown Speaker (31:19): Okay. Cute cutes
Unknown Speaker (31:20): all over America want silver shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Chellis, who is the guy out of Halloween
Speaker 1 (31:29): Doctor Loomis. Howling. Oh, oh, that doctor.
Unknown Speaker (31:32): The guy who no. The Dee Wallace's husband.
Unknown Speaker (31:36): That Oh, okay. On
Unknown Speaker (31:38): the on the beach.
Unknown Speaker (31:39): Yeah. Yeah. And and
Unknown Speaker (31:40): he's he's gonna uncover a plot by Shulver Shamrock owner, Conor Cochrane, which is to kill all the kids with these magical masks. Okay. It's not great. Jeez. Anyway, that's it.
Unknown Speaker (31:51): Now Snorb's report special 82. Oh, yeah. Look. You know, I had a
Speaker 1 (31:57): really quick look. Didn't have too much time, but I I watched this movie about a year ago. Beastmaster.
Unknown Speaker (32:02): Oh, singer.
Speaker 1 (32:04): And he's there, and he just walks across a is Tanya Roberts in
Unknown Speaker (32:09): this? Oh.
Speaker 1 (32:10): So he walks across the bush, gets to a big, like, a a a water big body of water, you know, with rocks. Lakes? Well, yeah. But it was like a like a rock pool sort of thing. And there happens to be a woman there swimming naked, which is pretty common occurrence when you go near a rock pool.
Speaker 1 (32:27): Is it Tanya Roberts? Tanya Roberts, and she has got a fantastic set of Stunning. And it's just a really good scene. And he sits there watching us swim. It's great.
Unknown Speaker (32:38): It's like
Unknown Speaker (32:38): five minutes of Tanya Roberts's nawks. Playing with his beast master. The only letdown of a view to a kill is that Tanya Roberts doesn't get a cans out.
Speaker 1 (32:47): Yeah. Well, that's pretty rare in James Bond, isn't it?
Unknown Speaker (32:49): No. They had an opportunity there and they missed.
Unknown Speaker (32:51): I think Grace James might have a bit of side boob in one of them.
Unknown Speaker (32:53): She gets them out.
Unknown Speaker (32:55): Side ish. Side ish. Side boob.
Unknown Speaker (32:57): Yeah. Well done. That's a good one. Yeah. Question time.
Unknown Speaker (33:06): Now, Sloane, I'm gonna direct this one to you because I think you're the perfect person to answer this for us. There's a footy game on. You ride your BMX with your Tufts to the corner store to pick up your case of beer. And you're riding back and the kids make you stack and you spill your beer and it's pissing out everywhere. And you run into the house with the most spraying beer in the history of beers.
Unknown Speaker (33:40): Does that happen? Or just go fucking hell and kick those beers and just walk inside and say, no. Fucked up.
Unknown Speaker (33:48): I think the kids play.
Speaker 1 (33:50): And this is the next one. How good was that BMX bike?
Unknown Speaker (33:54): Does old mate react accordingly to the kids making him crash?
Speaker 2 (33:59): No. Been the kids, but I've never been the guy on the bike.
Unknown Speaker (34:08): But but
Unknown Speaker (34:08): he And the 20 year old down the road beat the crap out of me.
Unknown Speaker (34:13): Oh, really? Oh, so you did. Right. Okay. But he It's a
Speaker 2 (34:17): different scenario with a slingshot, but yeah. He knows. That
Unknown Speaker (34:23): probably deserves a gift from the ass.
Unknown Speaker (34:25): Sloane slingshot a girl in the eye, lost his eye, and Sloane got the shit beaten out of him for it.
Speaker 1 (34:31): Fair enough. But the he he was in such a rush to get inside to watch the whatever game was playing. Probably the LA rants.
Unknown Speaker (34:38): LA rants.
Speaker 1 (34:39): And and he salvaged one six pack
Unknown Speaker (34:42): Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:42): And about three of them were fizzing Yeah. Holes in it. There would have been a couple more on the ground. And do you
Unknown Speaker (34:48): think those kids just ran off and got the rest of the beers? Probably.
Speaker 1 (34:50): But but but that BMX boat was the perfect nineteen eighties. It didn't have mongoose or p k ripper or anything written on it or Diamondback, but it looked like one
Unknown Speaker (34:57): of them. It did look
Speaker 2 (34:58): like it. Yep. That's the best thing about these movies for us.
Unknown Speaker (35:03): Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:03): It's just the nostalgia.
Unknown Speaker (35:05): Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (35:06): He's just driving up that he riding up that street and just takes you back.
Unknown Speaker (35:11): Yeah. That's the best bike. Yeah. I would love to have that bike now.
Unknown Speaker (35:15): I had a Mongoose.
Unknown Speaker (35:16): Oh, wow.
Unknown Speaker (35:17): Yeah. It was really good.
Unknown Speaker (35:18): Yeah. Luke had a Mongoose.
Unknown Speaker (35:20): On bikes.
Unknown Speaker (35:20): I like that. Remember one. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:24): No. You would have had something pretty good tufts
Speaker 1 (35:26): on a bloody Malvern star. Just bloody Mine
Unknown Speaker (35:28): mine mine had the blue tufts. Okay. Maybe I had a Scott. I can't remember.
Unknown Speaker (35:33): I had black tufts. Black tufts. It was the
Unknown Speaker (35:36): blue ones.
Unknown Speaker (35:37): Silver with black tufts.
Unknown Speaker (35:39): Yeah. Really good. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (35:42): Now we've sort of touched on it. Does Diane look too young to be a mother of three in this movie?
Speaker 1 (35:49): Yeah. Well, I do have this in listen to this that so there was a novelization of this after. I've probably got it here. Oh, do you? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:56): So Steven Spielberg wrote the book, but he I mean, wrote the screenplay.
Unknown Speaker (36:00): I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:01): But he yeah. Obviously, then there was a novel about it, and they go into detail that actually I think she's maybe the stepmom or he's the stepdad. I can't really work it out. Really? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (36:12): Yeah. Like, they go in a little bit
Unknown Speaker (36:13): of detail about how there's age. So there's a possibility that Carol Anne and the kids the twins or the the boy and the girl he owes.
Speaker 1 (36:20): It was something. Yeah. It it could be something like that. Yeah. There's definitely something different.
Unknown Speaker (36:24): I
Unknown Speaker (36:24): can handle that. I can
Speaker 1 (36:26): handle that. Diane is actually Stephen's second wife and only Dana's stepmother.
Unknown Speaker (36:31): Okay.
Speaker 1 (36:31): Robbie and Carol are Anne and Diane's other children. Okay. That's what in the novelization, though.
Unknown Speaker (36:36): So that's that in the movie.
Unknown Speaker (36:38): That may yeah.
Unknown Speaker (36:39): So from what we know, she's a child teen mom Yeah. In this in the movie.
Unknown Speaker (36:44): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (36:45): And Steve's creepy. Yeah. Steve was a teacher at school. Probably. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (36:50): She went to Craver High. Yep. Yeah. Fair enough. Case closed.
Unknown Speaker (36:58): Why don't why doesn't Robbie just close the fucking curtains as if he's if he's afraid of that tree?
Unknown Speaker (37:03): Oh, it's in my bad. Oh,
Unknown Speaker (37:06): fucking hell. Honestly Do you know what? The curtains are closed after the tree's gone.
Speaker 1 (37:13): Yeah. But that tree had nothing going for it. Right? He said, we built the house around the tree.
Unknown Speaker (37:21): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (37:21): The tree had no leaves.
Unknown Speaker (37:23): Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:24): It had faces in it. Yeah. Literally, it had heads, basically. And there is no way that would be used as like the feature piece of this house. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (37:34): Because it was the worst looking tree ever. Too close to the house. Yeah. I know.
Unknown Speaker (37:37): And too close to the pool.
Unknown Speaker (37:39): It was yeah.
Unknown Speaker (37:39): It was a hazard.
Unknown Speaker (37:40): It was just a horrendous tree.
Unknown Speaker (37:42): That pool would not have been approved. He might have a
Unknown Speaker (37:45): good scoop when it does flower that tree.
Unknown Speaker (37:47): Well, it didn't have I don't know. It's just a big stump.
Unknown Speaker (37:51): Robot cleaner. Robot cleaner. Should Diane be so cruisy about the chairs moving in the kitchen? She's literally thinking that it's like, oh, this is so much fun. No.
Unknown Speaker (38:04): No. No. Something is wrong here.
Speaker 1 (38:08): She because there was no harm and it was kind of all fun that she actually thought this is wonderful because they came out and originally thinking they're friendly ghosts. This is Casper. Oh, it's Casper. Yeah. This is this is all friendly shit, and it was.
Speaker 1 (38:22): So she thought it was great. Like, no harm. Hey. They're putting it you know, moving moving me around, slide the kid along the floor. This is great.
Speaker 1 (38:30): Have a ride. Put the footy helmet on. But yeah. They so this is and this why also I think the movie is good because you they do they they're friendly at first, kind of. They're just you know?
Speaker 1 (38:42): They're not harming them. They they interact with them, and there's no one dying or anything. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:47): Think I don't think at any stage it's okay. Any bump in the night,
Unknown Speaker (38:53): you're like,
Unknown Speaker (38:53): what was that?
Unknown Speaker (38:54): No. Fuck that. I'm with you. I'm with you, bud. They're not friendly.
Unknown Speaker (38:57): Yeah. This this is never gonna end well. Now the I've got a question here as well. Like, what what's the time frame here? Because it it feels like it's they've been in the house for a long time dealing with this.
Speaker 1 (39:11): Once she disappears, you're talking?
Unknown Speaker (39:13): I think before she disappears because she no. And once she disappears, looks like they've before they go to the psychologist or the or the Spengler in the university
Unknown Speaker (39:25): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (39:27): It feels like it's been a long time because dad looks terrible.
Unknown Speaker (39:30): Well, and he hasn't been to work for a a couple of weeks. He got the flu. Is it yeah. Got or was it was it weeks or was
Unknown Speaker (39:35): it family's got the flu.

Unknown Speaker (40:06): Yeah. Kind of.
Unknown Speaker (40:09): What when the shit starts going south in the storm and Robbie and the tree, why do they leave Carol Anne alone in the bedroom? So the eldest daughter Yeah. Well, because Robbie's
Unknown Speaker (40:24): been kidnapped by the tree. He's been stuck outside.
Unknown Speaker (40:28): Yeah. I get that, but do you leave the daughter alone in the bedroom, or do you get her downstairs where she's with you?

Unknown Speaker (41:24): Shut up, Marty. So where do you
Speaker 2 (41:27): find these people that actually believe you in '82? I thought they'd all be straight to the asylum.
Unknown Speaker (41:32): No. But, you know, you know what I loved about this movie is that they almost didn't they didn't want to believe that it was true. Yeah. But it was they they they became believers. So it was like, well, we've been taking the piss up until now.
Speaker 1 (41:51): And that's why they didn't go to the cops because they knew that no one's gonna believe me. We're gonna go find some supernatural And and that's scientist, psychologist. But and that's
Unknown Speaker (42:02): what I loved because, like, say, for instance, like in Ghostbusters, like, are they're in it for the dollars, but Spengler and Stance believe. Yeah. I'm not sure that these three guys truly believe in what they're doing. Although They had evidence
Unknown Speaker (42:21): see the car.
Unknown Speaker (42:22): Yeah. They had evidence where it moved over a period
Unknown Speaker (42:23): of seven hours. Of my favorite parts of
Unknown Speaker (42:25): the movie. That is funny.
Unknown Speaker (42:26): That's one of my favorite parts.
Speaker 1 (42:27): You know? Uh-huh. You guys are okay? He opens the door. Have a look at this bedroom.
Speaker 1 (42:32): There's shit floating around everywhere.
Unknown Speaker (42:34): So it takes me to to Ray Parker junior, who is he's on the monitors with the headphones on and and, you know, the Ghostbusters soundtrack playing in his ears. You're supposed to be monitoring sights and sounds that you've got earphones on with Stevie Wonder's greatest hits playing.
Unknown Speaker (42:56): Look it up in the sky.
Unknown Speaker (42:57): Just not even focused.
Unknown Speaker (42:58): And all the charts
Unknown Speaker (42:59): were going Was it The photo did you see the picture he's drawn?
Unknown Speaker (43:03): The ghost
Unknown Speaker (43:04): in the face? Yeah. He was he was doodling, wasn't he?
Unknown Speaker (43:06): Yeah. But that's what he saw. He's come down the fucking stairs.
Unknown Speaker (43:09): He's still not really focused.
Speaker 1 (43:11): So that that I I've got that in one of my goods or bads, but that was there was so much shit going on, and everyone's obviously, everyone, look at the stairs. Look at the stairs. The charts are going up. You know what it was? It was WWE.
Speaker 1 (43:24): The ref looks away while the guy pulls out a chair and smashes the other bloke on the head, and the ref's completely oblivious to what's happened. Then he looks over and he counts him out. It's like it was it was such a WWE ref move.
Unknown Speaker (43:39): It was.
Unknown Speaker (43:39): Missing everything. Okay. Alright.
Unknown Speaker (43:43): Now Should have had the black
Unknown Speaker (43:44): and white striped shirt on Definitely. Sitting
Unknown Speaker (43:47): there. Now I'm actually
Unknown Speaker (43:48): well, I'm I'm I'm actually quite lucky tonight to be on the podcast with two of the great dads. Alright? If people say to me, who were great dads of my mates? I wouldn't say Morgz. I'd say Gao is possible.
Unknown Speaker (44:05): Okay. But two of the great dads are Damo and Sloane, just so everyone knows. Very invested in their children.
Unknown Speaker (44:12): Sometimes.
Unknown Speaker (44:12): Spend a lot of time with them. You know, your children are older now. Yeah. But when they were younger, extremely invested, and even now, like, dancing and all stuff, you were both extremely invested fathers. Right?
Unknown Speaker (44:24): I I come a very distant third in this group here. Right? And I think I'm not a bad dad either. But, Sloane, you have younger children now. Almost one of them probably around sort of around the ages of these kids.
Unknown Speaker (44:39): Are you really letting them back into that bedroom after all the shit's gone on? Aren't they playing in the master bedroom or in the lounge room? What the fuck are they thinking on the night that shit goes south?
Speaker 2 (44:53): It is unbelievable that he wants out of that house so badly. He's tripping over push bikes. And then he says, I'm just gonna go back to work. And she thinks, will you be back? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:08): I'll definitely be back. No. I won't. And everyone falls asleep, and he goes, is she I'm not no one we're at the Holiday Inn already. Gone.
Unknown Speaker (45:16): Yeah. I see it. Totally.
Speaker 2 (45:18): Yeah. No. I'm sorry. You finally got your little girl back Yeah. From the guts of the monster, and you leave him in the same bedroom.
Unknown Speaker (45:28): Yeah. It's it it actually fucking annoyed me.
Speaker 1 (45:32): I suppose it was just that I can't remember the the lady's name, the the superstar, the hero, Tangene, or whatever. Yep. Whatever.
Unknown Speaker (45:40): She said this clean.
Speaker 1 (45:41): This house is clean. Right? Which meant it's finished. It's all good. However, in still saying that, it's like, I'm not taking the chance.
Unknown Speaker (45:50): I'm out of here. No. We're leaving this we're gonna demolish this joint.
Unknown Speaker (45:53): Mate, I am as soon as she's
Unknown Speaker (45:55): gone burning it down.
Unknown Speaker (45:56): She's gone Tangina is her name. Tangina.
Unknown Speaker (45:59): Tangina. Yeah. They call her Tangina. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (46:02): Fair enough. Tangina, please. Jeez.
Unknown Speaker (46:05): I could've put that I wonder what that could've rhyme with in my if I didn't Well, it's because there
Unknown Speaker (46:10): is a house in this movie. What? There's a house vagina. When the when the cupboard opens up at the end, that's a vagina.
Speaker 1 (46:18): Oh, the big hall the big gateway. The big yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:21): The it's a dead set I gotta gotta question Steven Spielberg and how he uses the Sarlacc pit in Poltergeist.
Unknown Speaker (46:31): Oh, is that what yeah. I see
Speaker 2 (46:33): the tongue coming out together. Yeah. The tongue. Yeah. That's outrageous.
Unknown Speaker (46:38): Yeah. Well, they'll they're good pals.
Unknown Speaker (46:40): Good pals. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (46:41): Yeah. I think it's just one of the poorest parenting decisions. As soon as they're back and she goes, this house is clear. I'm like, thanks, Tanjina. Let's get the fuck out of here.
Unknown Speaker (46:54): I'm still Yeah. I'm paying 4 Maoris to move my house without me there.
Unknown Speaker (47:00): Yeah. I'd just leave the shit there.
Unknown Speaker (47:01): Whatever it costs. Yes. That'll be $33,000. Excellent.
Unknown Speaker (47:05): Who cares?
Unknown Speaker (47:06): Boss, you're paying for it.
Speaker 1 (47:07): Yeah. No. Look. If you've had, you know, your daughter missing for two weeks by the TV spirits Mental.
Unknown Speaker (47:13): That's mentality. Absolute mentality. Born to watch only fans. Firstly, we welcome the perp back. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (47:26): Which is nice. She really yeah. She double double dipped this week with American Ninja Yeah. And Dragon Tattoo and is quite interested in the possibility of an OnlyFans voice voice sex line.
Unknown Speaker (47:44): Yeah. Yeah. Because Morgz would pay big bucks.
Unknown Speaker (47:46): Morgz Morgz wouldn't pay. He'd expect a freebie.
Unknown Speaker (47:50): Yeah. He would. Yeah, Perp, don't be sucked in thinking you've got a good customer. Tara, the the one out of 10 Canadian. Tara from Canada.
Unknown Speaker (48:02): Haven't heard about it from her back from Tara for a while. Well, you might have heard from her. You've kind of seemed to have something going on.
Unknown Speaker (48:09): No. No. I haven't heard from her either.
Speaker 1 (48:12): Bloody hell. You know what? We got no gal and no morgues, yet Canada still came up tonight.
Unknown Speaker (48:17): Yeah. An awful lot. Yeah. But in saying that with him. He was right there.

Unknown Speaker (48:23): Fine. You were right there.
Speaker 2 (48:27): Right there. Right there.
Unknown Speaker (48:30): Right. Alright.
Unknown Speaker (48:32): We got a review on the website. Oh. Now I just need to throw this to you guys. I'm not sure if someone's taking the piss here, but I'm gonna read it anyway because whoever if someone is taking the piss, that's fine. If not, Jimmy Hay from The US Of Fucking A.
Unknown Speaker (48:47): Wow. Welcome to the team. Yeah. Three stars you gave us. Three stars out of what?
Speaker 1 (48:56): Hey. That's in the higher levels of mediocrity. Yeah. Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (48:59): Too many lickouts is the heading of the Oh, it's just Morgz monologue. Hey, guys. Ginny Hay from The USA. First time caller, long time listener. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (49:11): Just wanted to call in and say good day. Been listening for a while, and you guys are really moving the needle slightly. Boo. I reckon you guys missed a good movie in 1986 's The Wraith with Charlie Shepard.
Unknown Speaker (49:26): Oh, mate, with the car racing thing. Yeah?
Unknown Speaker (49:27): Or the movie with a great cast and one of my all time favorites. Yeah. I'm telling you this is really big in car industry. Seen it. Definitely in the top five car flicks of all time with a really good supporting cast.
Unknown Speaker (49:41): It is big supercharged mayhem. Yep. This is the kind of movie that I like to watch on a Sunday arvo with your favorite snack. Mine is a pack of good old pork crackling.
Unknown Speaker (49:52): Well, that's yeah. It's good square meal. Like it?
Unknown Speaker (49:55): Yeah. I would love it if you guys gave a review soon. Love listening to your show, although a little less of Morgz on the land bullshit and Whitey licking himself out would lift your show, I reckon. It used to be about the movies and not about your own celebrity. The stats you guys get on the movies is awesome, but it's your show.
Unknown Speaker (50:18): See you boys, Ginny.
Speaker 1 (50:20): Well, I think the fact that he's brought up the race shows that it's Legit? Some yeah. Legit. Because that's that's not something a movie that any, you know, anyone would just bring up.
Unknown Speaker (50:33): Yeah. Okay. Well, let's go.
Unknown Speaker (50:34): The legit now you think it's taking the piss?
Speaker 2 (50:37): Top five car movies of all time. That's a massive call.
Unknown Speaker (50:41): Yeah. No. It's Jimmy from The USA. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (50:45): Jimmy. Jimmy, I'm disappointed with three stars. Like, if you're a long happy listener
Unknown Speaker (50:51): I'm happy.
Unknown Speaker (50:51): You could bump us to four or five. Like, come on, Jimmy.
Unknown Speaker (50:55): But We had
Unknown Speaker (50:56): to take two off for Morgz.
Unknown Speaker (50:59): Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (51:00): Well,
Speaker 1 (51:00): morgues, you know, how he's takes over, like, 50% of the talking. Yeah. Morgues sucks. Yeah. He he needs he needs to dial it back a little bit less about himself, and we might get it to a three and a half star.
Unknown Speaker (51:12): We might get three and a stars. Thank you, Jimmy. Share to your friends. Share to your enemies, and we might do the Wraith. Easy may not.
Unknown Speaker (51:24): I bet you it's on YouTube, this movie. Oh, it's definitely. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (53:57): way. Really? Reckon I did bucks. Mate, I reckon I didn't go dishwashers in the nineties. No.
Unknown Speaker (54:04): Mid nineties. I reckon. I reckon we didn't get a dishwasher in the mid nineties.
Speaker 1 (54:09): I I actually we had one. We lived I lived in Terry Hills from about eighty to eighty five, and we definitely had a dishwasher there. Yeah. But that's sort of like But then we went to Forestry

Unknown Speaker (54:49): Yeah. Done with your goods? Yeah. I'm done with my good.
Speaker 1 (54:53): Okay. Tomo. Good. I I actually did like the start with that flickering light from the static Love TV. The start's amazing.
Speaker 1 (55:02): And then the dog does the exposition of the family goes and they got they're all eating shit at night, aren't they? They're, you know, packs of chips and crap in their bed. Yep. Dog goes to everyone, so you get to meet everyone just by the dog. It's a dog walk through.
Unknown Speaker (55:13): Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of
Unknown Speaker (55:15): Did you notice when before he goes, the dog goes into the oldest daughter, Dana's room, there's a guy runs from behind the
Unknown Speaker (55:22): I did not know. Are you
Unknown Speaker (55:23): shitting me? Crack in the there's a crack in the door, and just before the dog goes in, a guy runs behind the door. Are you shitting? Deadly serious. Go and watch it again.
Unknown Speaker (55:33): It's at the very start of the movie. Go and
Unknown Speaker (55:35): watch it. I did not notice that.
Unknown Speaker (55:36): There a guy runs behind the door to hide.
Speaker 1 (55:38): She's got another bloke in there.
Unknown Speaker (55:39): Probably. Or Fair, Deacon. She brought no. Actually, I think it's one of the crew. Like, that was Oh, you oh, so it's not someone is in there has written heat because she's asleep.
Unknown Speaker (55:48): I was just oh, maybe. No. She'd be Well She'd wake up fucking up.
Unknown Speaker (55:52): Oh, I
Speaker 1 (55:52): thought you meant that she's probably some bloke's trying to sneak out.
Unknown Speaker (55:55): Maybe he is, but there's definitely someone in the room.
Speaker 1 (55:57): I'll have to check that out. Look. The the clown and the tree, those two things I remember so clearly. The clown bit scared the shit out of me. The lightning thing, I I learned the count.
Speaker 1 (56:09): I learned the count from this Yep. And I did. And I always and I I remember thinking, that is brilliant. 1234. 123.
Speaker 1 (56:17): 12. One tree comes through the window. Scared the crap out of me, and I thought it was so brilliantly done. I really liked it. But that clown thing, how he looked, then he looked, and he looked, and all of
Unknown Speaker (56:30): a sudden the freaking thing's there. The movie's really patient.
Unknown Speaker (56:34): It is.
Unknown Speaker (56:34): Like, the movie can really hold the suspense.
Speaker 1 (56:38): It's really like, the bit too where they're at the table, like, is Carol Anne and the mom. She goes to get something underneath the sink, and she turns around all the chairs on top of the table.
Unknown Speaker (56:47): Yep. And she's like, oh. But before that, the glass breaks and then the cutlery's bent.
Speaker 1 (56:53): That's right. The the son's looking at the spoon going like, it's like Yuri Geller's been in the house, bending spoons. Yeah. Like but I just that that was so spooky to just turn around and all of a sudden because I Whitney came into the room when I was watching that. She said, what was that?
Speaker 1 (57:10): And I said, Hooper had the chairs cut on the table. I said, oh, you didn't say that, but she went, no. And I just rewound it. And I said, are you here? She's at the table.
Speaker 1 (57:18): She goes under the thing, and she looks around. And Whitney was like, oh, oh my god. Like, was just really spooky. Really yeah. Just really good and scary.
Speaker 1 (57:26): I love Tanjina. Right? Tiny little you would not think she's gonna be like one of the heroes of the Yodet. Yodet. Is that her name?
Speaker 1 (57:35): That's her job.
Unknown Speaker (57:35): She's Yoda's wife.
Unknown Speaker (57:36): Oh, Yodet. Yeah. Right. She's a Yodet. Yes.
Speaker 1 (57:40): But she had balls of steel.
Unknown Speaker (57:41): She's amazing. She Fuck. I'm going in the room.
Speaker 1 (57:43): Oh, I know. She was great because she came in and you're like, what the hell is this little bloody woman with the high pitched helium voice? She was awesome. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (57:53): She's great.
Speaker 1 (57:53): Jerry Goldsmith hits all the beats for the scares too.
Unknown Speaker (57:56): The the as I said in the trailer, the score is really sneaky good.
Speaker 1 (58:01): Yeah. And but he he he hits the beats. So when the clowns heads you know, the music just builds for that. And when the beast comes, the music hits. He just hits the beats really good.
Speaker 1 (58:10): Yeah. And and once again, he is a super legend. But I think scary doesn't mean you don't don't need to be gory. You don't need to have deaths to be scary. So I've I've found this spooky, this movie, just like the movie, I think, the others with Nicole Kidman.
Unknown Speaker (58:27): Oh, the
Unknown Speaker (58:27): others? It's a really good movie. Just spooky, scary movie.
Unknown Speaker (58:30): Unsettling. But
Speaker 1 (58:31): it yeah. And but not any any gore or anything in it. So that's what I like. Okay.
Unknown Speaker (58:37): Yeah. As I've said, the acting in the script just seemed too good for the subject matter. The the acting is incredible. Yep. This movie is so believable.
Unknown Speaker (58:48): You believe every word that people say. You are engrossed by them except for some of the kids stuff, but the adults are just unbelievable. Awesome. It they all buy in. We've already talked about Jerry Goldsmith.
Unknown Speaker (58:59): The start is great. The bedroom, great. Sony Trinitrons. They got the Sony Trinitron in the bedroom. They got Sony Trinitron in the lounge room.
Unknown Speaker (59:06): They got the mini Trinitron on the bench in the kitchen.
Unknown Speaker (59:08): Are they
Unknown Speaker (59:09): all Sony? They're all Sony Trinitrons. Right. Yep. The first time the hand comes out of the TV and she says they're here Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (59:16): Is so good. We always the the the parents are asleep. Yeah. The hand comes through on us.
Unknown Speaker (59:22): The the ghosty hand. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (59:24): Yep. That's really, really good. Dogs always know. Dogs always know. And you know what?
Unknown Speaker (59:31): I always and this is again, I catch, like, Molly just looking into a corner of the house. Oh, really? And I'm like, what the fuck is going on there? Oh, Jesus. Right.
Unknown Speaker (59:43): What I've seen poltergeist. I know the dogs know what's going on. You've already mentioned the chairs. Great. The storm, the tree, and then the the whole carolina being sucked into the wardrobe is so intense.
Unknown Speaker (59:58): Yeah. So good. The guy the guy licking himself out, you know, we caught the car. It moved over seven hours, but it's okay because I caught it on time lapse. And he's like, seven hours, You're fired.
Unknown Speaker (1:00:15): And opens the door into the fucking room of death. Everything's spinning around.
Speaker 1 (1:00:20): Toys were moving and talking and yeah. Almost the best part
Unknown Speaker (1:00:24): of the movie for me.
Speaker 1 (1:00:25): Here's a uh-huh. Yes. Right. Okay. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:00:28): That's a good great story, mate. Yeah. Yeah. Have a look at the shit we're looking we're looking at.
Unknown Speaker (1:00:32): But, again, the patience of Craig T. Nelson just to let him talk Yeah. Get him out and then just embarrass him is amazing. So fucking funny. Again, like, mom holding it together, She's like a warrior.
Unknown Speaker (1:00:45): All the women in are in positions of strength in this movie, and they're the warriors. I love that. When when they when they're there and Caroline first talks when she's in the house and the dog shits itself and runs, she hears the voice of the dog again. Dogs know, mate. Dogs know.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:08): Again, I love the surprise of the scientists because I think they literally don't think what they do is real. So they they're like, oh my god.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:19): Oh, they were blown away.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:21): You can buy that. Right? Yeah. The ghost scene where they come down the the the stairs And they filmed it. Is unbelievable.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:28): And then they had that on video. They could slow it down and, you there's you could actually see all the individuals. People. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:34): Yeah. It's so good. And I've got a even the dog knows it's time to leave. So when, like, the kid the boy gets in the cab and the dog walks out and he just looks back and then hops in the cab.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:44): What about that kid? How old was that kid? Eight?
Unknown Speaker (1:01:47): Eight. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:47): Just put him in a cab.
Unknown Speaker (1:01:48): Yeah. He's off. I said, where's he going?
Unknown Speaker (1:01:49): I done to his grandparents' house. Tangina. Don't understand, Jon. Who puts that kid in a cab?
Unknown Speaker (1:01:55): And then and then really from the rescue so when they just when they start the rescue, once once Tanjina turns up to the end of the movie, the movie's great. Yeah. Like, all the bits you probably could have cut out. There's probably ten minutes you could probably cut out of this movie. It's okay because that last twenty five minutes just goes at a million miles an hour.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:17): It's really cool. Okay. Bad. Damo.
Speaker 1 (1:02:22): Bad. Well, I've always said a couple of things already. What did I say? Oh, the charts and that the old bloody the old WWE ref, but you couldn't dig a pool in that place without hitting a coffin. Mate, if you dig in a pool that's like 10 feet deep, you're gonna hit- You're hit coffins.
Unknown Speaker (1:02:43): There's more coffin than dirt.
Speaker 2 (1:02:46): What a Yeah. If you're gonna put a pool in, go big, deep,
Speaker 1 (1:02:50): long Deep. Yeah. Down down past go past the coffin level, and you can go a bit deeper. Yeah. So that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1 (1:02:57): That's the only sort of little flaw that is like, you would have been digging up, digging foundations, digging pools, digging shit.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:04): Yeah. You're you're gonna at least knock one of them.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:06): Did you notice Billy from Prette digging the pool?
Unknown Speaker (1:03:09): Yeah. He's one of the pervy walkman.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:11): You see, yeah, he just and that's why I and started to think he's full on the she's 16.
Unknown Speaker (1:03:16): Go to school. But the mom
Unknown Speaker (1:03:18): The mom's listening. Listening and laughing.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:19): Yeah. There's there's no fucking way the remote is working across the house. Oh, that goddamn neighbor. 1982.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:28): There is
Unknown Speaker (1:06:29): no way that
Unknown Speaker (1:06:30): remarked. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:32): Look. What I I've I'm a late adopter on fashion, but I'm an early adopter on technology. TVs. Now in in about '82, I got one of the first VHSs, v VCR players that had a cabled start, pause, remote. That's all it had.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:50): Alright. Start and pause is all it was, and it was a flick up and down. That's all you need is pause. That was it. Just pause.
Unknown Speaker (1:06:57): Pause was super important. Not stop. Pause. Yeah. Because I was thinking, you know, we could use this for Hawkeys.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:03): It's 1982.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:04): It's just
Unknown Speaker (1:07:05): it's the guy that created What
Unknown Speaker (1:07:07): do we need? We need
Unknown Speaker (1:07:08): a pause button. We need
Unknown Speaker (1:07:09): a that's fine. Step one. Because in
Unknown Speaker (1:07:12): the eighties, all movies have Easter boobs. Yeah. So we need a pause button.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:16): I know.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:18): How do you think we're gonna stop at this point of the movie? Pause button in.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:22): Yeah. Yeah. I know. There is no fucking way those remotes are remotely on the same frequency or working through
Unknown Speaker (1:07:31): Layers of war.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:32): 10 or 15 meters away. It's not happening. Just not happening.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:36): And it sucked.
Speaker 2 (1:07:37): Be honest, your remote control cars, one controller would you you'd be steering three different cars out in the street Yeah. And everyone would be blowing up with each other.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:46): Oh, yeah. You would be.
Speaker 1 (1:07:47): But can't you override the remote too and just, like, press the channels? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:51): Definitely. I've got the creepy workers. It's just really unnecessary and really
Unknown Speaker (1:07:56): It was yeah. It was a It's a bit strange.
Unknown Speaker (1:07:59): Yeah. But then again, there's a it really shows its time. Yeah. 82. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:04): Because the mom's Didn't give a shit. The mom is, well, was 16 when she had the baby. That's right. That's right. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:09): And the movie's ten or fifteen minutes too long. I think there's probably some scenes at the start that could be you could probably lose a minute out of some of them or ninety seconds out of some of them and easily lose ten minutes. I think an hour fifty six is just an hour forty five, hour forty, hour forty five would have been really slick for this. And building over a cemetery. Rookie era.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:34): Do you reckon it really happens? Well, you'd have to. Right? Maybe in the in the seventies, shit like that's happening. Like, yeah, just wouldn't happen now, I don't think.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:45): But in the seventies, they're just moving the headstones and building over the bodies. Yeah. How bad is that?
Unknown Speaker (1:08:51): Well, I
Unknown Speaker (1:08:51): don't know.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:51): Maybe they did exhume them. I don't know. But yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:08:55): Tell you what, there's a lot of there's a lot of bodies in that cemetery where they're they're gonna build his house up on the hill. Oh, yeah. Shit.
Speaker 1 (1:09:01): Yeah. That's where that's where it just opened your eyes a bit. It's like when he told that story and oh, but there's all this here. We'll move it. And then you go, hang on.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:11): Right.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:12): I thought it was really cool. In this area, though.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:15): Yeah. Like, I've It was the
Unknown Speaker (1:09:16): It was gold mining town.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:18): It would have been decades and decades ago as well.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:20): Presta Verde. Were they miners or whatever that were coming down the stairs that had some with

Unknown Speaker (1:09:32): The guy that was hiding in the bedroom at
Unknown Speaker (1:09:34): the start.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:34): But, yeah, at least you know what I like? I like that it was just a regular cemetery and not some Indian burial ground. Right. So I think that that you know? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:09:46): I think
Speaker 1 (1:09:46): it's It was it was because it had headstones and shit.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:11): You look at smalls Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:13): And you get a sort
Unknown Speaker (1:20:13): of risk because of it.
Speaker 1 (1:20:15): So we've mentioned this before, Kramer versus Kramer.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:18): It's kind
Speaker 1 (1:20:19): of an unusual scene. She's in the she's in bed with old Hoffman. She jumps up. Oh, she dusty's girlfriend? Yes.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:25): Okay.
Speaker 1 (1:20:26): And stands in the hallway while Hoffman's kid is there talking to her for about a minute and she's covering herself up, but she's fully nude.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:37): That's not ideal.
Unknown Speaker (1:20:38): It was like the other week. Remember I was talking about Jamie Lee Curtis
Unknown Speaker (1:20:42): in one
Speaker 1 (1:20:42): of those movies where she's standing up out of the spa talking to some kid. This is Hollywood. It's weird. So that was '79.

Speaker 1 (1:21:24): Nolte's going, what the hell is going on? Chases her. All the kids come out of their classroom, like they're high school kids, and she's there in the hallway naked, and Nolte gets his jacket and covers it around him. We get a quick hint of snobs in that.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:48): school teachers. She just takes clothes off and runs. I don't know why. Yeah. No.
Unknown Speaker (1:21:52): You don't know why
Speaker 1 (1:21:53): because all you're looking for is snobs. Now let's go to nineteen ninety one's Victim of Love. Oh. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 1 (1:22:03): Piers Brosnan. Steamy scene with a really good looking Piers Brosnan, '91.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:08): Oh, yeah. He's Remington Steele. Yeah. It's he's looking real Remington ish. Remington Steele.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:12): Was Now they're of here.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:13): Close-up shot. Yeah. Close-up shot of a really healthy cube of ice in the hand. Cube of ice with a with a drip coming off.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:26): I like it.
Speaker 1 (1:22:27): And it's moving down towards some skin. Right? Is it nipple? And there, where would you rub that ice?
Unknown Speaker (1:22:34): Belly button. Nipple. On her back.
Speaker 1 (1:22:37): Goddamn it. It's all at the back. Biggest con job scene in the history. It's it's I'm gonna put in a complaint to the Snorbs Council. You can't get a ice cube scene and use it to rub it on a neck.
Unknown Speaker (1:22:50): Or a
Unknown Speaker (1:22:51): shoulder blade?
Speaker 1 (1:22:52): No. There was no mistake in it. There was no mistaking. I was just thinking, oh, we've got a good setup for a goddamn good snobs report here, and it was a ice cube on the back.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:05): Well, nothing just ridiculous. Nothing's gonna bring those snobs to attention like an ice cube.
Speaker 1 (1:23:10): Yeah. So victim of love, missed that.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:13): Okay.
Speaker 1 (1:23:13): Absolute joke.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:16): That it?
Unknown Speaker (1:23:16): That's it for support cook burnout.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:19): Okay. Well done. Enjoyed that.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:20): Listen to this. Feel the twist behind the Listen to this. Now, Sloane,
Unknown Speaker (1:23:31): you got any trivia, anything behind the scenes you'd like to share with our brethren?
Speaker 2 (1:23:37): Just the
Unknown Speaker (1:23:38): parole And our two female listeners.
Speaker 2 (1:23:40): Just four kids, both passing away. So I didn't really
Unknown Speaker (1:23:45): Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:46): Deep dive into anything else to listen to this. Yep. I don't believe. Yep. Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (1:23:54): That's alright. That's alright.
Speaker 1 (1:23:56): Damo? Yeah. No. I had that only the one about the this being the oldest daughter being the stepdaughter and then the two kids were there from those two in the novelization. That's the only thing I've got.
Speaker 1 (1:24:08): Just trying to explain that family.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:10): Yep. K. Now there's a massive running debate about who actually directed Oldenice.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:16): Toby what's his name?
Unknown Speaker (1:24:17): Toby did have that. Texas Chinese New Massacre? No. And but Steven Spielberg produced it. Now Spielberg was contractually banned from directing another film while making ET.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:28): This came out the same year as ET. Oh, right. But he storyboarded at least half the shots, served as a second unit director in some outdoor scenes, and was on all is on set for all but three days of filming. Wow. The Directors Guild of America opened an official inquiry.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:46): There has to be an investigation.
Unknown Speaker (1:24:48): Thanks,
Unknown Speaker (1:24:49): Tubes. Founded in Hooper's favor, and then Spielberg took out a full page ad in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter praising Hooper's work. The cast is split. Some say Hooper directed anything everything. Others say Spielberg was calling the shots.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:03): Nobody can definitively tell you who directed poltergeist. Wow. Yeah. The real skeletons.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:11): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:12): So in the pool scene at the end, real human skeletons were used on set.
Speaker 1 (1:25:16): Yeah. So cheaper than the plastic ones?
Unknown Speaker (1:25:18): Jo Beth Williams had no idea till well after production wrapped. Original effects artist Craig Reardon confirmed it was simply cheaper to buy real skeletons than plastic ones.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:28): Where the hell do you buy real ones?
Unknown Speaker (1:25:30): Yeah. I
Unknown Speaker (1:25:30): guess. Skeleton shop. The bone factory. Many believe this is the true origin of the poltergeist curse, which we'll talk about.
Unknown Speaker (1:25:42): Oh, this sounds scary. We'll have to get
Unknown Speaker (1:25:45): the lights off. Spielberg's hands are actually in the movie in the scene where the flesh is being ripped off Marty's face
Unknown Speaker (1:25:52): in
Unknown Speaker (1:25:53): the mirror. The hands during the ripping are Steven Spielberg's. That's my that's the only part
Speaker 1 (1:25:58): of the movie where it did get really A bit, like, gory and fake ish. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:03): The clown nearly killed Robbie in real life. So the the prop arms gripped Oliver's neck so tight that he couldn't breathe. Wow. Right? Spielberg initially thought he was acting, but he wasn't directing it so he couldn't call cut.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:22): You're doing great, kid.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:24): And exactly. So the PG rating changed Hollywood forever. Poltergeist was given an r rating initially since there was no PG 13 option at the time. So they got the PG 13 for this movie. Right.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:38): There you go. It stayed forever.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:40): It's it's m it's got m on it.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:42): It's got m now.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:42): Yeah. It's got m now. A b m m a.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:44): Yep. M a. Quotables. Anyone good at any quotables? I've got a Tanjina.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:49): There you go.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:50): I actually really like this line. It was a really long monologue of hers.
Unknown Speaker (1:26:53): Yes.
Speaker 1 (1:26:53): But she and she's and she said, like, it keeps Carol Ann very close to it and away from the spectral light. It lies to her. It says things only a child can understand. It has been using her to restrain the others. To her, it simply is another child.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:09): To us, it is the beast. Yeah. Mate, that bit was like, oh my god.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:15): She's really good.
Speaker 1 (1:27:16): Yeah. And that's only just the bottom part of it, but she just she explained because we don't know what the hell is going on. No. We have no idea, but she explains it so well. And you and you're just like, oh, wow.
Speaker 1 (1:27:29): She's like the interpreter for the What?
Unknown Speaker (1:27:31): For the audience. What about when they fall through, they come back through
Unknown Speaker (1:27:36): In their gunk?
Unknown Speaker (1:27:37): They look like they're covered in, like, chicken jelly.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:39): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:40): Yeah. Know what You you got the chicken in the fridge, and on the bottom, it gets all that fucking foul jelly.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:45): Where they got it from. Yeah. Yeah. That's horrible stuff. And jelly.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:49): Yeah. That yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:50): Oh, it's rank Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:52): No one eats that shit.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:53): No one eats that. If if that would be a dare. Get someone to eat chicken with jelly.
Unknown Speaker (1:27:59): Yeah. That shit that's come there the next day. Fuck me.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:03): What are you fucking thinking? Any quotes, Sloane?
Unknown Speaker (1:28:06): No. Only had they here.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:09): Yep. One Degree of Kurt Russell. I believe there isn't
Unknown Speaker (1:28:14): anything. I didn't look. There's Spielberg. No. Don't think he was in this.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:17): Jerry Goldsmith. We'd have to have
Unknown Speaker (1:28:19): a look. Backdraft.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:21): Was he? Yes.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:22): Goldsmith's Backdraft. I'm pretty sure.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:24): Yeah. I've done Backdraft for something. Yeah. Yeah. I can't remember it.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:27): Film school. I think you're right. So
Unknown Speaker (1:28:40): some films leave a mark on the box office. Others leave a mark on the people who made them. Cursed films. We'll start with Poltergeist because it's a good place to start, and we're obviously doing the movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:56): Yeah. Coincidence.
Unknown Speaker (1:28:58): Family moves into a haunted suburban home. Their daughter gets swallowed by a portal in the closet, and a tiny psychic woman named Tanjina shows up to fix everything. Dominique Dunn, who played the eldest daughter, was strangled to death by her ex boyfriend just month after the film's released. Holy shit. She was 22.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:19): Then Heather O'Rourke, Carol Anne, the little girl, collapsed and died during emergency surgery in 1988. She was 12 years old. Two more cast members from the sequels, Julian Beck and Will Sampson, also died within a few years of their films. Oh, and it's saying that the filmmakers used the films, the skeletons, real skeletons, which people believe were the reason for the curse. Number two, The Omen.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:47): 1976, The Omen, Gregory Beck, Lee Remick, who is stunning. This movie is really, really fucking good.
Unknown Speaker (1:29:57): Yeah. I saw it when I was
Unknown Speaker (1:29:58): a kid. Need back and watch The Omen. Is really quite scary. Yeah. Alyssa bizarre incidences during production.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:09): Both Gregory Peck and the screenwriters planes were struck by lightning on separate flights. A tiger handler was mauled the day after working on the film. Stunt coordinator Alf Joint was seriously injured in an accident and special effects consultant, John Richardson, who designed the film's most gruth and death scene, a decapitation was in a real car crash in Holland in which the passenger was decapitated. Wow. A road sign nearby reportedly said, Omen, 66.6 kilometers.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:43): Oh my god. I don't know if that's true, but sounds pretty fucking good.
Unknown Speaker (1:30:47): Yeah. At
Unknown Speaker (1:30:49): some point, you stop saying coincidence and start quietly backing out of the room. Number three, The Exorcist. We've done The Exorcist, one of the great movies I gave at Yeah.
Speaker 1 (1:31:00): I underscored it at four seven five.
Unknown Speaker (1:31:01): The set burned down. The whole set burned down. Yeah. For the room where the exorcisms were filmed, which is precisely the room you'd wanna you'd want the fire to take. Nine people connected to the production died during or shortly after filming.
Unknown Speaker (1:31:18): Bloody hell.
Unknown Speaker (1:31:19): Two of them played characters who die in the movie, which is a level of commitment to the craft most actors would perform. Suffolk. Yeah. Director William Friedkin was so unnerved that he had a priest bless the set. Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn both suffered real physical injuries during filming, and audiences at early screenings reportedly fainted, vomited, and fled the cinema.
Unknown Speaker (1:31:41): That yep. Number four, Rosemary's baby. We've all got a bit of the sameness here about the devil and
Speaker 1 (1:31:49): Well, I'm thinking you're not you're not doing any sort of
Unknown Speaker (1:31:51): comedies here. The following year, Polansky's wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family. One of the most horrific crimes in Hollywood history. Composer Christophe Camida died from a brain injury shortly after the film completed. Producer William Castle, who received death threats over the film, suffered a serious kidney failure and was reportedly heard screaming, Rosemary, for God's sake, drop that knife while delirious in hospital.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:21): The apartment building used an exterior location, The Dakota in New York. Twelve years later, John Lennon was shot and killed outside it.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:29): Oh, well well, jeez. Okay.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:31): The Beatles are part
Unknown Speaker (1:32:31): of curse. Yeah. It's a long time. Far out.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:34): Croaksy would have known that.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:35): Yeah. He would have. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:37): Okay. So not really a curse, but a tragedy. The crow. Yeah. Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, was 28 years old and days away from rapping when a prop gun misfired and killed him on set.
Unknown Speaker (1:32:48): A bullet fragment became lodged in the barrel during a previous scene when the blank was fired at launch launching to him at fatal force. The film was completed in his memory using body doubles and early digital effects. He was gonna be a superstar too, Brandon Lee. He was totally he was gonna be he was pretty good. Now we mentioned this one the other week, the Twilight Zone, the movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:11): Oh, yeah. Because the director was on the nose for some movie.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:16): Less of a curse, more of a crime. During a night shoot for John Landis' segment, a helicopter was deliberately flown low over actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, Micah Dinh Lee and Renee Shi Yi Chen, aged six and seven. The helicopter crashed, all three were killed. It later emerged the children had been hired illegally working in violation of child labor laws in the middle of the night without their parents' knowledge on set. Jeez.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:43): Director John Landis faced manslaughter charges, but was ultimately acquitted. It remains one of the most soberingly sobering and illegally significant events in Hollywood history. Two to go. Superman. I was waiting for this one.
Unknown Speaker (1:33:58): The Superman curse is one of those curses that keeps on giving. Unfortunately, Christopher Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down in a horse riding accident in 1995 and used a wheelchair until his death. Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane, experienced severe mental health crisis. Lee Quigley, who played baby Kal El in the opening scenes, died at 14. The curse seemed to follow the role itself.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:21): George Reeves, who played the nineties fifty Superman, died of a gunshot wound wound in 1959 in suspicious circumstances. Oh. Last one. Apocalypse Now. Less of a curse, more what happens when you spend sixteen months filming in The Philippines and everyone has a nervous breakdown.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:42): The production was a genuine disaster. Martin Sheen had a heart attack on set of 36. Marlon Brando arrived overweight and unprepared. Francis Ford Coppola threatened suicide multiple times. Typhoon destroyed the sets.
Unknown Speaker (1:34:55): Harvey Keitel was fired and replaced. The film went so far over schedule and budget. It nearly destroyed everyone involved. Coppola's wife documented the chaos in the documentary Heart's Darkness, which has just been released on Blu ray, and it's fucking incredible. The making of Apocalypse Now.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:11): The documentary was arguably more terrifying than the film itself.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:15): Is this where they got the idea for Tropics Under?
Unknown Speaker (1:35:17): Yeah. It's exactly that.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:19): Do we do did we know that? Did we say that?
Unknown Speaker (1:35:21): Talk about Hearts of Ducks.
Speaker 1 (1:35:21): Oh, okay. I can't remember. I was like, holy shit. This sounds like Tropic Thunder. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:25): So there you go. A few cursed movies. Yeah. But but this
Unknown Speaker (1:35:29): poltergeist one, that's, you know, the two the two daughters dead Dead. And, like, pretty soon
Unknown Speaker (1:35:34): Yeah.
Speaker 1 (1:35:35): Not good. Young. It's pretty horrible.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:37): Not good. Let's lift our spirits. Yes.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:52): Oh, that bit. Yes. Credits.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:55): Song Damo is on the mic.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:57): I am. I am.
Unknown Speaker (1:35:58): Can't wait for this one.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:00): This is called They're Here.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:03): Oh, I like it.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:03): Don't know where you
Unknown Speaker (1:36:04): got that from.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:05): What do you think of that, Sven? Amazing.
Speaker 2 (1:36:06): That's one out of the box.
Speaker 1 (1:36:08): You've said it a few times tonight. Very original. Hello. Very original. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (1:36:14): Alright. Now this is not a self lick out, like a a morgue's, you know, protest song against Marvel or something. This is actually a song about the movie Poltergeist, and I thought I'd do something different. Shit. Alright.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:27): That'd be good. You wanna make it about the movie we're doing, not just about yourself.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:31): Not about me hiding something. Yeah. Is it gonna be about you smashing
Unknown Speaker (1:36:34): the surf pool apart or anything?
Unknown Speaker (1:36:37): Oh, jeez. The surf pool is good, though. I I've got a Melbourne trip coming up, and I'm gonna try and maybe squeeze one in. It'd be freezing though.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:44): Oh, too cold.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:45): Is it heated? No. No. No. The water keeps moving.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:48): They can't.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:49): Yeah. Alright.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:51): It'll be
Unknown Speaker (1:36:51): like it right out here.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:52): It'll be it'll be about like 14 degree water or something.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:55): Can do it.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:55): I can do
Unknown Speaker (1:36:56): it. We're a steamer.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:56): You can do it.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:57): Yeah. You can do it.
Unknown Speaker (1:36:58): Yeah. Alright. Here we go.
Unknown Speaker (1:37:01): They're Chuck

Speaker 1 (1:37:11): Everything's fine. Carol Ann's laughing on the TV line. Static whispers come play with us. Then she's gone in a flash of dust. They're here, they're here, Rattling doors and floating feet.
Speaker 1 (1:37:27): They're here. They're here pulling babies through the sphere. This house is clean. It's full of screams. Clown in the corner, tree at the window, mom's on the ceiling, dad's a hero.
Speaker 1 (1:37:45): Portal opens, the light pulls tight. Save our baby into the night. They're here. They're here. The dead don't rest.
Speaker 1 (1:37:54): They just interfere. They're here. They're here. Took the headstones, but the bodies are near. They're here.
Speaker 1 (1:38:04): Poltergeist Solar Pier. They're here. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:12): Is it? Demo, that's without a doubt one of the better tunes we've ever had in a kick ass credit song.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:19): Oh, it's a pretty easy one, though. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. Great.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:24): Great job. For Hirschfeld to get his hands on that.
Unknown Speaker (1:38:29): There. Like
Unknown Speaker (1:38:30): Yeah. There. Already here.

Unknown Speaker (1:39:04): Three from three. Yeah. She is the best part of this movie by a long shot.
Unknown Speaker (1:39:07): There's a lot of good parts in this movie Yeah. But she is awesome. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (1:39:13): The rank. Oh. Rank. Now this this one, I found this difficult. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:39:53): What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (1:39:55): Bird burials? 20. 20. Still keep trying to get over that death. Static TV?
Speaker 1 (1:40:00): I really don't know. Static TVs. Static TV. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:40:04): Okay. Done. Bones. Oh. How many static TVs are you giving Poltergeist?
Speaker 2 (1:40:14): My memory of these movies were it was scary, like Damo said. But on the rewatch, I wasn't scared at all. I got a I got a bit of a jump at the end with the clown and the skeletons in the pool. I don't think it stands the test of time. If Lily and Kai watched it, I don't think they get scared at all, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (1:40:43): But in saying that, it is a classic nostalgic three and a half out
Unknown Speaker (1:40:49): of 3.5. I thought you were going to
Unknown Speaker (1:40:52): piss him off. I was going to go. I thought he was going to two and a or something. No. No.
Unknown Speaker (1:40:55): I'll take three and a half. Damo, what about you? How many static TVs?
Unknown Speaker (1:40:59): I think it's a excellent movie. Yeah. I really do. I really think it's a bloody good no gore. Great.
Speaker 1 (1:41:05): I love that. I'm just so sick of just those blood fests, but this is a good movie. Well acted. Pretty good effects. Not too bad.
Speaker 1 (1:41:15): I I actually really think it's a good movie. I'll give it three seven five.
Unknown Speaker (1:41:18): Yeah. Damn. You you you feel on the frequency through the static TVs.
Unknown Speaker (1:41:25): Same remote control.
Unknown Speaker (1:41:26): Same remote control here. 3.75 for me. I really enjoyed watching this again. It's not scary. I I don't think it's Spooky.
Unknown Speaker (1:41:36): It's not scary. Isabel's shitter pants when the skeletons came out of
Unknown Speaker (1:41:40): the pool. Yeah. There are
Unknown Speaker (1:41:41): a couple bits. She watched the last sort of forty minutes with me. I just think it's got a sense of dread and there's I think that the acting is far too good for the subject matter. Like, I really do. I think the mummy's amazing.
Unknown Speaker (1:41:55): She's so good in this movie and why she didn't do heaps of I know. Is beyond me.
Unknown Speaker (1:42:00): She's great, Angus.
Unknown Speaker (1:42:01): Yeah. Really disappointed that she didn't get get more goes at it. But now where does that leave us and where does that put Poltergeist in the pantheon of Be about middle? The rank
Speaker 1 (1:42:16): Maybe a little bit above middle? Rank
Unknown Speaker (1:42:18): ish bank. Actually, it's 3.67 Oh. Static TVs, and that puts it into position one one seven. Well, actually, that's not true. Like,
Unknown Speaker (1:42:33): puts it in
Unknown Speaker (1:42:33): an equal position one one zero, a 110. There are a lot of movies on 3.67.
Unknown Speaker (1:42:43): I imagine. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (1:42:44): There is scones. Oh, Avatar? 6,000 SUXs.
Unknown Speaker (1:42:50): Oh, Rubber Cop. Rubber Cop. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:43:15): Three Fingers of Pain, Logan. Static TVs. Okay. So it's in pretty good company.
