1996: From Dusk till Dawn

1996: From Dusk till Dawn

Join us for a nostalgic trip back to the year 1996! We're exploring the culture, the music, and the message that films in 1996 offered, to determine whether they're classics, cult classics, or a product of their time! Jeff and David are enroute to Scarefest this weekend, but they're making plans to stop off at the Titty Twister for some piss-warm Chango beer, tequila toes, and vampire strippers. They'll be talking From Dusk till Dawn!

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.519
been doing all year long. We've broken down the fresh

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.039
films of nineteen eighty six, we examined the gritty cinemascape

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.600
of nineteen seventy six, and now it's time to check

this week, Amber Lewis and I discussed the John Landis

10
00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:02.159
vampire film Innocent Blood, which certainly left us hungry for

11
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:08.519
further conversation about bloodsuckers. David, are you a faithless podcaster

12
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.400
or a mean motherfucking servant of a film buy?

13
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.760
I'm a servant of the film buy.

14
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.000
David Burns is back. We are on our way to

15
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.719
scare Fast weekend in Lexington, Kentucky. But first we're gonna

16
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.439
head to the Titty Twister for drinks. That's because Dave,

17
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.319
I hear it's open from dusk till dawn.

18
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:35.920
Do you want to live through this?

19
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.120
On ancient ground? A terrifying April has been unleash. No

20
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:47.599
Five Strangers are our only hope to stop it. On

21
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:57.200
Friday from January nineteenth, the Showdowns is on from Lombard

22
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.840
Drug Duguez from Quentin Tarentino from dusk till dawn, Great

23
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:02.120
at a.

24
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.639
Cheap drinks, loud music, vampires, This will be one hell

25
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.560
of a night. Richie and Seth Gecko are on the run.

26
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.840
They robbed a bank and are now making their escape

27
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.120
to Mexico, leaving death and destruction in their path, while

28
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.560
also taking a family hostage to help them get over

29
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.120
the border. They managed to make it into Mexico to

30
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.080
their destination, the Teddy Twister, which is open dusk to dawn.

31
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.120
It is here where their story about two robbers just

32
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.759
trying to escape quickly turns into a horror story. The

33
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.439
group now find themselves surrounded by vampires and a new

34
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.319
type of survival ensues.

35
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.000
So happy to be talking about a vampire film that

36
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.560
absolutely kicks ass. After we after the debacle that is

37
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.599
John Landis's vampire film, You and Scott, You and Scott

38
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.039
would have shredded that one man. If that was an

39
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.960
eighty six episode, po missed out on it. I'm sure

40
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.840
Amber is not sad that she missed.

41
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.400
Out on it. I'm sorry, Himber, I'm sorry.

42
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.240
From Dusk Till Dawn opens at number one, grossing ten

43
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.400
point two million in its first week yep, and then

44
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.800
it falls to number three in its second week, being

45
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.199
beaten out by a combination of Mister Holland's Opus and

46
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.280
Bed of Roses.

47
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:24.520
Interesting.

48
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.719
I mean, mister Holland's Opus is a great film. It

49
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.080
is it is, but over from Dust Till Dawn come on,

50
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.520
well listen, I'll give Dreyfus the crown. But Bed of

51
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.560
Roses there, Yeah, that was like that was like that

52
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:39.879
shitty Christian Slater movie.

53
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:40.439
Yeah.

54
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.520
I don't remember what it's about.

55
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:42.560
I don't hear her.

56
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.719
It's something where he had roses, he delivered roses, I

57
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:46.199
don't know, and.

58
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.719
He within a bed. I don't know something.

59
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.879
Uh. From Dust Till Dawn would go on to gross

60
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.319
fifty nine point three million dollars worldwide, not a bad

61
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.439
haul for a vampire film that almost wasn't made. We'll

62
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:03.520
get to that here a little bit.

63
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.560
Yeah, it has some mixed reviews too, but I know

64
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.039
Roder Ebert loved it, loved.

65
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.879
It so Yeah, mixed reviews. Ebert was a big fan,

66
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:11.719
but a lot of a lot of people describe the

67
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.959
film as well made, if not overly violent, which is, ok,

68
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:18.720
it's a vampire movie.

69
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.920
Don't Yeah, it's Quentin Tarantino.

70
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.639
Come on, Well, okay, let's talk like these critics complaining

71
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.000
that it's overly violent. It is a vampire movie written

72
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.360
by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez. What what

73
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.879
what movie were you expecting to see?

74
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.240
Exactly? Hello, you know these two guys, you put them together.

75
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:36.839
What did you expect to happen?

76
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.040
K and be effects group is on board for this,

77
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.240
Like it's gonna get gory, and you know it's It's

78
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.759
funny though, because there was there was a lot of

79
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.480
stuff that was to gory, even for Tarantino. Like if

80
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.160
you've got the if you've got the Blu ray or

81
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.000
the DVD, you can see some of these extra scenes,

82
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.279
Like there's one day did you ever? I don't know

83
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.360
if you've watched them.

84
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.439
But I've heard something about there. There was one scene

85
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.199
that Quentin Tarantina got really grossed out by, but I

86
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.240
don't remember what it was.

87
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.279
Well, I'll remind you it was one of the female

88
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.319
stripper vampires. Her stomach kind of opens up into like

89
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.399
this mouth.

90
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.040
Yeah, she's in the film. You can see her.

91
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.360
Yeah, and her and and the dude, like one of

92
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.680
the one of the patrons gets his head shoved into

93
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.399
her stomach and she she kind of bites his head

94
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.120
off with her stock.

95
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:25.959
Okay.

96
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.240
QT was like, nah, that's I don't even want to

97
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.040
see it. He didn't even he didn't even watch it.

98
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:32.800
He just said, don't use it. I don't want to

99
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:33.519
see it.

100
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.560
Oh man, I want to see it.

101
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.360
It's yeah, it's on It's on it. It's out there.

102
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.240
You can I'm sure. I'm sure it's on YouTube. But

103
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.560
if not, it's it is one of the uh the

104
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.279
deleted scenes you can get on the on the disc.

105
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.759
Dave Clooney wins Best Actor at the Fangoria chainsaw Awards

106
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.920
and the Saturn Awards, and Best Breakthrough Performance at the

107
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.319
MTV Movie Awards. I can see think about that for

108
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.879
a second. George Clooney winning Best Breakthrough Performance. With his career,

109
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.120
he's already had think about the career well, I mean

110
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.680
he because he had a decent career up until from

111
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.920
dust till Dawn. He was a successful television actor. But

112
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.560
he really really wasn't the movie star, right? No?

113
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.600
I guess not really, which which I want to put

114
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.120
a little note here, which is kind of funny that

115
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.480
Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney were in The Golden Girls.

116
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.399
Looney was in The Golden Cord. I know, I know,

117
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.959
I know, uh I know. Tarantino played like an Elvis

118
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.480
personator on an episode What what what?

119
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.360
Clooney was a Coloney was a cop and in one

120
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:32.639
of the episodes.

121
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.000
Officer Seth Gecko.

122
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.319
Yeah, yeah, I just.

123
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.199
Well this movie also it wins Best Horror Film at

124
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.040
the Saturn Awards.

125
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:42.879
YEP.

126
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.959
Quentin Tarantino nominated for the Razzie Awards Worst Supporting Actor.

127
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.199
You want to you want to take a wild guess

128
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.000
at who who who beat him? Who won? Who won

129
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.800
the Worst Actor the Worst Supporting Actor?

130
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.480
I should say, I'm not sure who was it?

131
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.600
Well, okay, I'll give you I'll give you multiple choice here. Okay,

132
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.240
Marlon Brando for his role in the Island of Doctor Moreau,

133
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.800
who Steven Sagal for his role in Executive Decision. Val

134
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.000
Kilmer for Ghost in the Darkness.

135
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.399
What do you think at least say it was Marlon Brando.

136
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:27.560
Marlon Brando winning the Worst Supporting Actor was not meant

137
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.079
to be for quit you know what. I like The

138
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.600
Island of Doctor Moreau. I don't get it.

139
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.399
I didn't. I didn't like his performance. But man, there's

140
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.959
a lot of history behind that movie. So there's a documentary.

141
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.120
I don't think an on side trip, but there's a

142
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:39.639
documentary about that movie. Watch it.

143
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.480
That documentary is awesome. Brad Koso was like, you gotta

144
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.199
watch Brad Coso owns a physical copy of that documentary.

145
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.720
H I was like, really, and he was like, just

146
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.879
watch it. Yeah, I did. I loved it. It was

147
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.879
just as good as the movie. I wanted to watch

148
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.199
the movie after I was done with it, But I digress.

149
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:55.839
Dave.

150
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.759
Let's uh as you and Scott like to say on

151
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.439
a film at forty five, let's let's go behind the

152
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:01.000
lens here.

153
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.079
Yeah, let's it.

154
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:03.959
We're behind the scenes. It's nineteen ninety six. I guess

155
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.639
I should keep to my own lane, right, that's.

156
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.240
Right in your own lane, Jeff.

157
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.600
This movie has quite an origin story. You want to

158
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:16.439
you want to share that a little bit?

159
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.360
Sure, So anyone who knows this was conceived by Robert Kurtzman,

160
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.879
who actually wrote the film's initial treatment back in nineteen

161
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.439
eighty eight when he basically co founded the special effects

162
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:34.360
K and B Effects Group. Apparently in nineteen ninety he

163
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:39.360
hired Quentin Tarantino to write this script, and he basically

164
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.559
paid him one thousand, five hundred dollars an agreement to

165
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.559
use K and B Effects to provide makeup in his

166
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:51.200
Reservoir Dogs, which is very interesting because who would not

167
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.039
want to work with Robert Kurtzman In my opinion, Well,

168
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:55.320
you bring up a good point.

169
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.679
The guy is amazing. We had the opportunity to meet

170
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.519
with him last year. I didn't want to leave. I

171
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:02.480
didn't want to leave that room.

172
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.000
He was just he was.

173
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.679
I was. I was fascinated discussing you know, his his filmography,

174
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.120
his work and film.

175
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:14.759
And he had actual work there, remember his original artils

176
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.360
that you don't see on screen, you could see there

177
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.080
in his work and it was just amazing.

178
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.720
Mind blowing. Yeah. You know, the thing is that Kurtzman,

179
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.399
you know he is he is a director in his

180
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.639
own right. I know, Dave, I know we got to

181
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.279
reach out to him and see if he'll he'll talk

182
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.080
with us. Next season with one of you know, one

183
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.919
of his films, but he had always intended to direct

184
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.440
From Dust Till Dawn. Yep, But given he had no

185
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.000
experience as a director, the film was over the top

186
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.000
of violence and gore no studios going to back it.

187
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.000
You know you gotta have you gotta have Tarantina, right, yep, yep. Yeah. So,

188
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.919
after after paulp. Fiction is a big hit, qt tells Merrimax, Hey,

189
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.519
my next movie is going to be From Dust Till

190
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:59.200
Dawn and then he uh, he asked his buddy, his

191
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.600
new his new buddy, Robert Rodriguez to direct it. Merra

192
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.080
Max green lights it and they start shooting this in

193
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.519
the summer of nineteen ninety four.

194
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.639
Isn't it amazing? Already seeing some of Quentin Tarantino's work,

195
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.759
you know what you get from him. And then when

196
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.120
you go to see this movie, even if you don't

197
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.840
know what it's about at first, it has that predator feel,

198
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.440
if you know what I mean. You go to in

199
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.519
the movie where you get, like the first half of

200
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.000
the movie, you think it's going to be completely something else,

201
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.279
but then when you get to the turning point, it

202
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.679
goes a completely different direction. For you, which is amazing,

203
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:33.679
and I loved it because when I got to that point,

204
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.159
it's like, holy crap, I'm watching a horror movie with

205
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.320
Quentin Tarantino.

206
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:42.279
Yeah, they were very the initial teasers for this were

207
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.720
very covert. Yeah, I should say, yep. I think about that.

208
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.200
Like you if you look at the box cover, you

209
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.559
don't see a single vampire. You don't see the word vampire,

210
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.159
you don't. You don't even in the movie. You don't

211
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.960
even see a vampire until what like an hour and

212
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.159
two minutes I think, Yeah, And the movie's like an

213
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.399
hour and forty eight minutes. So you're right. This is

214
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:04.960
a it's a road movie.

215
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:06.080
Yep.

216
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.639
So it's a crime road movie and I'm loving it.

217
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:10.879
Like this could have this could have this could have

218
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.440
not been a vampire movie, and I still think it

219
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.200
would have been amazing.

220
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.960
Well, that's the thing. That's what I love about this movie.

221
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.879
When it opens up, it opens up in your typical

222
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.000
fashion of a Quentin Tarantino, where you know, you get

223
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:23.240
all that dialogue going back and forth between people and

224
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:26.399
you're just listening to every word coming out of their

225
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.960
mouth because it's written so well. Because it's Quinton, you

226
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.600
have to you love those long dialogue scenes, right.

227
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.919
I love him. I absolutely love his dialogue. He is

228
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.919
I think he's probably if he's not the best, he's

229
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:40.960
definitely one of the best. Oh maybe maybe he is

230
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.279
the best. When it comes right, I feel.

231
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.399
I would say he is the best. Jeff, at least

232
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.080
in modern day he is the best.

233
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.360
Absolutely, Yeah, I'm not even going to debate it.

234
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:49.960
Nope.

235
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:55.080
One fun thing here about the release of this film,

236
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.279
h so this This was released in February. In May

237
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.440
of nineteen ninety six, the film was banned in Ireland

238
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:08.440
by Irish Film censor Board head Seamus Smith, citing the

239
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.720
film's quote irresponsible and totally gratuitous violence.

240
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.039
Shame on you, Seamus, shame.

241
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.360
Give the people a fun vampire movie. Shamous No, kiddy,

242
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.399
come on man, poor Seamus. Yeah, Dave, let's take a

243
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.639
quick break and then when we come back, I want

244
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.080
to dive right into this film soundtrack and score because

245
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:38.840
it's awesome. Welcome back, David.

246
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:39.600
Yep.

247
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:47.879
The score composed by gram Ravelle. Yep, absolutely awesome. He

248
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.879
he composes music for this film and The Craft in

249
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.679
nineteen ninety six, and he's got a pretty celebrated I

250
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.159
don't know if you call it filmography discography, I don't

251
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.799
know what co I don't know what you call it

252
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.120
for composers, but uh, filmography is good pilmography. Yeah, okay,

253
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.039
I'll tell you what though. My first thought when you

254
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:04.960
say his name.

255
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.960
The Creaky, same as mine, I was just, yeah, that's

256
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.399
his same as mine. Immediately want to crow, which is incredible.

257
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.000
It's an absolutely incredible film score.

258
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:14.799
It is.

259
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.840
And when you look at his work, I mean he's

260
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.200
got a lot of stuff where you you look at

261
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.320
his list right and it's like I've seen that, I've

262
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.000
seen that, I've seen those six and maybe you don't recognize. Yeah,

263
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.559
it does like memory doesn't recall. So some of his stuff, though,

264
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.919
hits hard though, like Sin City, The Crow, don't forget

265
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.519
this movie.

266
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.720
Blacks got a really good score Pitch Black.

267
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.039
Yeah, I forgot he did that one.

268
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.279
Yeah, I remember watching that movie. I was like, man,

269
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.279
that's a really standout score. I mean it's nothing like

270
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.480
John Williams or anything like that, but no, it fit

271
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.720
the movie perfectly, and you remember thus.

272
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:53.240
So Yeah, as much as I love his score, I

273
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:57.240
love the soundtrack twice as much. Yeah, And I'll tell

274
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.879
you right now. In ninety six, I wore this CD out.

275
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.000
I'm sure I loved it. I absolutely loved it, and

276
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.759
I'll tell you right now. The soundtrack more or less

277
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.399
sparked my appreciation for that bluesy Texas rock mm hm.

278
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.320
I mean think about we got zz Top and Stevie

279
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.120
ray Vaughan both offering a few songs. Likewise, with Tito

280
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.679
and Tarantula, who has a has a little spot in

281
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.159
the film they have they have a little cameo, a

282
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.039
fun one. Let's just let's just talk about this, uh,

283
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.360
this soundtrack for a second, because this is one of

284
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.000
the fun was remember in the nineties. This is something

285
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.279
that I feel.

286
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:34.840
I don't know.

287
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.720
I don't know if Quentin Tarantino started it. He might

288
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.320
have I but if he didn't, all I know is

289
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.600
it was his soundtracks that I reckon that I saw

290
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.799
that this was happening. He would add some audio from

291
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.759
the movie, like the sound like the soundtrack, like I

292
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.559
loved it, because the soundtrack for from Desktill Dawn actually

293
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:58.039
starts with George Clooney doing his everybody be cool speech.

294
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.080
Yeah, everybody be cool, you be cool?

295
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000
Yeah, and then it goes right into dark Knight by

296
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.840
uh by the Blasters. That song, man, I mean, I

297
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:10.360
know it's like a I think they're like a late

298
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.919
seventies early eighties band. The Blasters. Dark Knight is one

299
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.679
of the coolest tracks you could hear in a vampire

300
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:21.080
movie and it fits this one so good. You I

301
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:22.840
gotta ask, though, do you have you like, who's your

302
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.559
favorite on this soundtrack? Do you have a favorite? Do

303
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.120
you have a go to?

304
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:27.679
I mean I'm always a fan of Easy Top Man.

305
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.440
No, yeah, they got Mexican Blackbird, Yeah, they got uh

306
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.639
She's got that. That's yeah, She's yeah, that's a great song. Yep,

307
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:40.480
this is this. I'm pretty sure this is my introduction

308
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.519
to Steve Ray Vaughan.

309
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.080
H a good introduction on my dad.

310
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:49.120
Yeah, I mean, not not about to complain, No, I

311
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.679
just you know, I couldn't believe like what I was hearing.

312
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.120
I was like, what who is this? And you know

313
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.399
Mary had a little lamb WILLI the wimp?

314
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:57.679
I mean, that's it.

315
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.360
Just these are great eight songs. But you can't talk

316
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.879
about From Dust Till Dawn without talking about Tito and

317
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.639
Tarantula because they've got some some good songs. They think

318
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.320
they do uh what's the first one called when they're

319
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.039
really just laid into it and everyone's just you know,

320
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.440
the parties is getting out of control. I think it's

321
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:16.480
a angry cockroaches.

322
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.440
Angry cockroaches that are opening boxes. I think with one,

323
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.919
isn't it maybe? I think what's in there?

324
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.679
It doesn't even matter because, like I'll tell you right now,

325
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:31.919
the song that they do after Dark for Salma's Salma's dance. Yeah,

326
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:39.759
that song is so good. Absolute Well, well, well we'll

327
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.240
get to We'll get to Salma's dancing. I've got that.

328
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.080
It's right, Oh, I got that. Don't worry, we're gonna

329
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:45.440
get to that.

330
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.000
Yeah.

331
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.440
Uh. I will say this though about about Salama since

332
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.480
you know, since you, since you brought it up, you know,

333
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.559
I'll say I'll say this much for I mean, as

334
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.720
much as I love that song after Dark, the script

335
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.320
call for her to dance to a song called Down

336
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.759
in Mexico by the Coasters. And if that sounds familiar

337
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.920
to you, that's the song that Quentin Tarantino used in

338
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.039
Death Proof when Butterfly does her lap dance.

339
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.079
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

340
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.799
Yeah yeah. Apparently Rodriguez saw it and was like, now,

341
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.200
I'm not using that song. I got Tito, I got

342
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.519
the translus I'm in the band right, like he's one

343
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:22.480
of Tito and translate in the in the in the movie.

344
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:23.359
Yeah he is.

345
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.480
Yeah, a little little little cameo for for the director.

346
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.880
Love it when directors do that. Man m Night always

347
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.279
does it, and yeah for Hitchcock obviously was notorious for

348
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:31.640
doing it.

349
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.680
So yeah, I think I think the most if you're

350
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.039
talking directors that are always in their movies but are

351
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.160
very subtle and very shy about it, probably Carpenter is

352
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:43.759
the king, Yeah, because he doesn't want you to see

353
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.400
his face. He's always got his back to the camera

354
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.359
and he's like on the phone, or he's leaving out

355
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.799
the door. He's always doing something.

356
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:50.880
But yeah, always it'd be.

357
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.440
A great to you know, that'd be not to get

358
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.960
off topic because there's so much talk about from Doustal down,

359
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.599
but wouldn't it be great to do like a limited

360
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.519
like a like a one off episode where we just

361
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.599
talk about director cam like like Ranco.

362
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:02.680
Yeah, good idea.

363
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.839
Yeah, all right, listener, listeners, if you want to hear that,

364
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:08.799
you might want us know, we'll you know, we'll put

365
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.200
that in production. Dave, if we if we get to

366
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.720
risk get, if I get one person says I want

367
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.279
a director cameo.

368
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.559
Episode, we'll do it. About that sounds good to me. Yep.

369
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:24.039
This cast is huge. It is Listen. I almost I

370
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.640
almost regret that this is a an episode for nineteen

371
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.160
ninety six because there's so much to talk about, and

372
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.960
I know we we kind of rip right through these

373
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.960
We do these segments, but we'll be brief, but well

374
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.000
we'll be fair. So let's let's talk principal worlds. First.

375
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:41.000
George Clooney as Seth Gecko.

376
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.880
Yep, Dave.

377
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:48.680
Clooney's current asking price is about twenty million dollars per picture. No,

378
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.440
is that all he was paid. You want to take

379
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.519
a guess of what he was paid for this?

380
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.359
I want to say it's way under twenty million.

381
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.200
It is, you would be you would be correct in

382
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.519
that assessment. How about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?

383
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.759
Way under way?

384
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.200
He actually he was suggested for this role because of

385
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.279
his work on ER. So if that tells you where

386
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.759
he's at. Okay, you know this and this, that's like

387
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.480
what nineteen ninety four he's doing ER. This is before

388
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.640
like this is way before like Friends had set the

389
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.559
set the record straight with like getting a million dollars

390
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.880
each per episode, right, Yeah, and you've got some amazing,

391
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.359
amazing talent on er but and he's certainly he was

392
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.039
one of them. But yep, yeah, it's like I like

393
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.119
this er guy. Let's let's have him play a murderous outlaw.

394
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:38.759
Yeah. And it worked, and it worked.

395
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.039
It definitely worked. H I'll tell you what didn't work.

396
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.720
It's because of From Dust Till Dawn. H. You could

397
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.640
say that this movie is directly responsible for Joel Schumacher

398
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.319
casting him as Batman, and Batman and Robin.

399
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.640
So Schumacher came out of this movie, then.

400
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.799
Well, I do you. I don't know that though, if

401
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.559
you're Joel Schumacher and you're watching this movie because George

402
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.720
Clooney just kicks ass to the whole thing, and I'm gonna,

403
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:08.319
I'm gonna go I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and

404
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.000
go on record right now. This is my all time

405
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.759
favorite George Clooney performance. It's my all time favorite George

406
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.640
Clooney character. No one comes to mind when I'm talking.

407
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.240
When I'm thinking George Clooney, I can't think of one

408
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.240
person that I love more as far as like characters go,

409
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:23.720
can you.

410
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:25.000
I would have to go with you with that, Oh,

411
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.119
brother out that was awesome.

412
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.799
It is, But and he's what's fantastic in that he is.

413
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:31.960
But I'll give this one the nudge. I'll give this

414
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.039
one the lead because you are right. He is so

415
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:35.680
good in this movie from beginning to end.

416
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.599
I watched When I recently watched this, it was one

417
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.640
thing that was shocking for me was finding out how

418
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:46.720
often I quote in paraphrase Seth Gecko in real life.

419
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.559
There are so many catchphrases he has in this Yeah,

420
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.720
and I use them all the time. Yeah, And it's

421
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:55.759
just I watched it. That's where I got it. Yeah,

422
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.799
he is. He's the epitome of cool.

423
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.240
It's funny when I when I watched this movie, this

424
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.000
is the epitome of a Jeff Johnson film. It really is.

425
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.960
And I'm not just saying that because it's Quentin Tarantino.

426
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.559
It just has a lot of Jeff Johnson in this film.

427
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.319
And there's no doubt about it. Anybody that knows you,

428
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.160
you don't understand where I'm coming from on this.

429
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.359
Yeah, Hey, I will, I will happily take that compliment.

430
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.319
I will take that as a compliment because as you should. Yeah,

431
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.839
I love this movie. I absolutely love this movie. Quentin

432
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:26.519
Tarantino playing his brother Richie getto now Here's let's let's

433
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:28.559
just you know you kind of we're off Mike talking

434
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:32.839
about this and it's it's weird because when you first

435
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.960
watched this movie in nineteen ninety six, you know, we

436
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.880
were so much younger. Yep, he was cool, he was

437
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.759
I mean, he he's got some cool moments, don't get

438
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.920
me wrong, But but you watch it in this one,

439
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.640
he watched it as an adult, and he's and then

440
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.519
you clue into the fact, like, oh wait, he's he's

441
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.839
a sociopath, he's a rapist. He's creepy. He's unbelievably creepy.

442
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.559
Like the way he looks at Juliet Lewis m h

443
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:02.880
makes my skin crawl, even when they have that little

444
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.559
funny moment where he's imagining that she's saying something. Yep,

445
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.640
and clearly he's like in his own world. I mean,

446
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.400
that's a you need that bit of levity there, you

447
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:15.759
do to reduce the creep factor a little bit, but

448
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:18.359
he's still creepy. Dude, he is.

449
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.839
And I want to make a note here. I want

450
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:22.359
to talk about something really quick. I know we're talking

451
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.440
about the cast, but since we're talking about the Get

452
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.960
Go Brothers, when I'm watching this movie, specifically in the

453
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:29.680
beginning of well not really the beginning, but like the

454
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.400
first part where they're on the way to Mexico, specifically

455
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.079
when they are in the motel room, there is a

456
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.319
feeling here that I get from two other characters in

457
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.960
a complete other movie that really resemble what's going on

458
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.000
between Seth and Ritchie here, and that movie is of

459
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.480
mice and men. You really get that George Milton and

460
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.599
Lenny small vibe going on between these two characters. Am

461
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:57.079
I wrong?

462
00:22:57.640 --> 00:22:59.680
You are one hundred percent ride. I've never even thought

463
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.880
of a about the connection there. Yeah, you've got the

464
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:09.279
the responsible, smart one, You've got the dangerous not so

465
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:13.279
smart one, right, and that whole loyalty, the whole a

466
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.400
bro am I my brother's keeper thing that's happening here.

467
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.960
I never even thought about that, Dave. That's a that's

468
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.519
a great point.

469
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:20.039
Yeah, that's what the vibe I got.

470
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:22.720
I love that scene. By the way, it's it's it's

471
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:23.920
it's unsettling.

472
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.440
Oh god, it starts.

473
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.359
It starts off kind of fun.

474
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:26.559
You know.

475
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.640
Seth comes back, he's he got some hamburgers, and then

476
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:31.680
all of a sudden he's like, wait, where's the hot

477
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.400
you know, where's the hostage. I think that's one of

478
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.079
the most brilliant shots or scenes in the film. And

479
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.319
because we don't see yeah, and the editing is is

480
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.599
just unbelievable. It's off the charts in this In this moment,

481
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:44.759
one of the better moments of the movie as far

482
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:49.480
as cinematography, as far as editing goes. We don't see

483
00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:52.960
what Seth is looking at. He's staring at us, we're

484
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.880
in the room, and the look of horror on his

485
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:03.319
face and we get these micro second inserts and Dave,

486
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:05.799
I mean, even if you're not blinking, you you can't

487
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.119
see like you get you know that it's you see

488
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.720
like blood splatter and you see flesh, but you don't

489
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.400
know what you're looking at, honestly, right, And just the

490
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:19.240
calm delivery he has where he's like, what is the

491
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:24.240
matter with you? And you know, and dude, Tarantino, nothing

492
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:27.519
wrong with me, brother, And what is the matter with you?

493
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.200
Like that slow tension as it builds. It's a it's

494
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.519
a horrific moment for the for the for the movie.

495
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:36.319
But it's one of the better scenes, I think one

496
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.279
of the better definitely one of the best acted scenes

497
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:38.880
in the movie.

498
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.279
There's so many good things in this movie, so many

499
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.319
good things, but I think that is a pivotal moment,

500
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:46.759
but before the two characters for the whole thing. And

501
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:48.440
I agree, I think that's one of the best scenes

502
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:49.039
of the whole movie.

503
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.640
I'm just and you gotta wonder, like before they start

504
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.079
the before the camera start rolling, does does Quentin Tantina

505
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.599
just say, hey, really go for it? Lay into me?

506
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.000
Because he when he slams him up against the wall

507
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.119
on his hands or like smashing his face and he's like,

508
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.720
you know, tell me you understand, and you know say

509
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.799
you know, he's like repeat after me, Like that does

510
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.039
not look like they're holding back at all. No, it's

511
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:13.920
a it's a it's a powerful moment. Yeah, And it's

512
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:16.920
the first time where you're like, you know what I'm

513
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:18.920
on I'm I'm on board with Seth. I like him,

514
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.720
And I think that's the moment where you get the

515
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.480
inclination like, here's our hero, this guy is gonna save that.

516
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.640
He's a like he says at the end of the movie,

517
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:29.680
I'm a son of a bitch, but I'm not. You know,

518
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.160
I think this is the moment where we're like, this

519
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.240
is this is the guy that's gonna save the day?

520
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.119
Well you yeah, it sets that up and you get

521
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:38.480
that a little bit follow up later in the r

522
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:40.960
V when they're in the Mexico border and you know,

523
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.440
they're holding Juliet Lowis hostage in the bathroom and obviously, uh, Richie,

524
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:46.920
Richie won't shut his damn mouth up.

525
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:52.759
Yeah, you know, Tarantino, you mentioned this. We did We

526
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.440
did Psycho three last last week on our Patreon and

527
00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.880
I know one of I know, one of your one

528
00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:02.880
of your issues with it was that Anthony Perkins, who

529
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.880
directed Psycho three, didn't put a lot of effort into

530
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:13.279
his performance. He was maybe distracted Dave. Quentin Tarantino declined

531
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.240
to direct that he was asked to direct this several times.

532
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.680
He declined, specifically so he could focus on the script

533
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.559
and his performance as Richie. So you gotta love you know,

534
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.799
Quentin Tantina said, Hey, there's only so many hats I

535
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.359
can wear here.

536
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:28.400
I respect that because if he had directed this movie,

537
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:30.119
I don't think he could have put in the performance

538
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.599
he did as Richie. There's no way, no way.

539
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.519
I agree. I agree. It's been a great performances. This

540
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:41.240
is the third time he is on screen with Harvey Kayitel.

541
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.680
Harvey Kytel playing Jacob Fuller, the priest, the preacher who

542
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.680
has lost his faith. It's it's kind of cool to

543
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.240
see Kayitel in a role like this because he is

544
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.039
always he's Winston wolf Man, He's he is the cool

545
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.119
guy it is, you know, he's mister White, He's the

546
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.920
guy that's running shit, you know, And here he's very vulnerable.

547
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.720
Yeah, I mean he's lost his faith, he's yeah, and

548
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:12.680
he's trying to protect his kids and you know, give

549
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.279
them some kind of memory here, which is why they're

550
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.680
doing what they're doing. And then he runs into this.

551
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.839
So I mean I like the character.

552
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:20.359
I really do.

553
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.359
It makes you feel and pull you into caring about him.

554
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.759
Yeah, But as vulnerable as it is, I do appreciate

555
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:28.759
the fact that he's also he gets tough when he

556
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:33.160
needs to, yep, specifically with with Seth Gecko, where he's like,

557
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:36.480
you know, Seth tells him the plan like you're gonna

558
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.160
take us to Mexico, and then you're phrase like, my

559
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:41.880
children are not going anywhere with you, you know, and

560
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.039
he kind of makes us stand stands his ground. But

561
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:47.200
I love the way he stands his ground when they're

562
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.200
on the road and sets like looking through his wallet

563
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.119
and he's kinda he's kind of jabbed at him, you know,

564
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.519
he's he's instigating, and he's just like, you know, I

565
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.920
think I've gotten about us up close and personal with

566
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:05.559
you as I intend to. Let's keep this friendly. Popsky

567
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:11.240
tells awesome and his transition from faithless preacher to hero

568
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.319
to creature of the night. He I mean, if you're Harvey,

569
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:16.640
I tell you gotta be having fun here. You're like,

570
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.119
you're getting to play a little bit of everything in

571
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.559
this one.

572
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.400
You do. One of the one of the things I

573
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.839
love with him was when they got trapped in that

574
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.319
room and they knew what they were going to have

575
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.359
to do, and he basically I think he'd already been bitten, right, Yeah,

576
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.200
he had already been bitten. He'd already been bitten, so

577
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.079
he had he turned to his kids and told them, what,

578
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:35.480
you know, promised me that you're going to kill me

579
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.319
if I turn and then they do that half ass Yeah,

580
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.160
I promise, sure.

581
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:39.759
Shared ad.

582
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:43.519
And then he was like, no, you are going to

583
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:45.440
promise me that you're gonna do it.

584
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:50.000
I love his son, Scott. You know you don't believe

585
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:51.799
in suicide. You wouldn't do it. He's like, it's not

586
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:56.359
suicide if you're already dead, even less time for you, Scott.

587
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:56.920
Yep.

588
00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:59.559
To count to one, I'm gonna get down three. He's like, right,

589
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:05.000
I'll do it. Let's talk about Catael's kids, his daughter

590
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:10.359
Kate Fuller, played by the very rock and very lovely

591
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.359
Juliette Lewis.

592
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.599
Yep, so she has an innocence about her. Okay, yes,

593
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.880
but she also has the other side of that. You know,

594
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:25.799
she knows when to be the loving daughter to Jacob,

595
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:31.720
she knows when to be the punk ass sister to Scott. Right, yeah,

596
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:33.880
but she often knows how to protect herself. You know,

597
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.160
she knows how to protect our family. She's a very

598
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.720
well rounded character if you really look at that, and

599
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:40.240
she she's it so well.

600
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.079
She does such an amazing job here. And I love

601
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:46.319
I mean she, like you said, innocence, she's so virtuous yep.

602
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:50.279
And this, and it's such a hard left from what

603
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:54.759
we see her do earlier, like a year or two earlier,

604
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:58.400
which she's in Natural Word Killers, Oh God, playing Mallory Knox,

605
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:00.680
which is also like but I mean, I think it's

606
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.079
between Kate and Mallory Knox's are probably my two all

607
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.079
time favorite Juliet Lewis performances and characters, and it's her

608
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:09.079
work in Natural War Killers. You know, she's she kind

609
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:12.839
of because she befriends Quentin Tarantino at that time, and

610
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:14.519
that kind of leads to her getting cat like. He's

611
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.359
a big fan of her. He's like, yep, you're Kate,

612
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.640
you know, come on it. I love her in this

613
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.720
movie though, because she she plays you know, she's scared

614
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.039
what she needs to be scared, but she needs to

615
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.799
be Yeah, but there's also like this Stockholm syndrome thing

616
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.599
that's happening to the family, the Fuller family. Right. Yeah,

617
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.759
you want to talk about supporting players, Sure, let's do it.

618
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.079
Let's talk about the hardest working man on set. We

619
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.240
gotta start with Cheech Marin. He's playing the border Guard.

620
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:45.599
He's playing a character named chet Pussy, and then he's

621
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:49.039
the elusive Carlos the Gangster at the end.

622
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:53.480
Of his speech his advertising for the Teddy Twister there

623
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:56.039
when they first arrite's just dude, I lose it every

624
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:58.119
damn time you.

625
00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:59.680
Want to you want to break that down for us, Dave?

626
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.000
Can you repeat, though, how I could break that down

627
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:03.680
without getting really vulgar?

628
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:06.519
Oh, I wouldn't ask you to do that. I don't

629
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:07.960
even know if i'll I don't even know if i'll

630
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.720
drop that that that clip right there, Like part of

631
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:12.200
me wants too, but then part of me is thinking,

632
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.519
you know, we might, we might offend some people.

633
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.000
But the factor goes on and on and on. It

634
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:19.359
is so hysterical.

635
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:24.359
As as perverse and crude as it is, it is

636
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.920
all the more hilarious. It is like, I got you want.

637
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:31.960
It's so funny. You absolutely it cracks me up. It absolutely,

638
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.400
it absolutely cracks me up.

639
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:33.880
Yep.

640
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.240
But I mean he's playing three characters here. They never

641
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.880
share the screen. This isn't like an Eddie Murphy thing

642
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.119
where they're on the same they're all uh the scene

643
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.839
in it together. But they're quick. They're quick moments. You know.

644
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:47.240
Probably Chet is the one that gets the most screen time,

645
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:53.519
which that makes me happy because he's character. But I

646
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:58.039
kind of wonder, like, is this a situation where one

647
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.079
person drops out and then all of a sud and

648
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.400
it's like, you know, well, let's have let's have fun,

649
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:04.319
Let's have cheach play like multiple people. Because Carlos the

650
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.039
Gangster was Originally it was intended that Eric Strada was

651
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:11.359
going to play that role, and I didn't see anything

652
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:12.559
about why he didn't do it.

653
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.759
But no, I didn't. I didn't either, But I'm glad

654
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.440
it worked out that way because I think it worked

655
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:17.119
out to the better.

656
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.440
If this movie, If this movie, this movie is fantastic.

657
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.000
But if they could have used anything, they could always

658
00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:23.880
use more cheech Marin.

659
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:24.680
I agree.

660
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:25.799
That's where I'm at with it.

661
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:26.680
Same one here.

662
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.200
How about how about our buddy, uh Tom Savini, I

663
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:31.680
say buddy, because we've we've we've.

664
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:33.440
We've talked hung out with him a little bit and

665
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:33.960
talked to him.

666
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:39.079
Yeah, the machine sex machine dude.

667
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.200
When he shows his pistol again every time he shows

668
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.960
that off and then use of it later obviously, Yeah,

669
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.319
the cod piece of his character there, man, and I believe. Yeah.

670
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.400
And then his buddy, which we we'll get to, who

671
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:54.519
hangs out with a sex machine. Yeah, I know, we'll

672
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:57.319
talk about him too, but yeah, Thom Savini was awesome.

673
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.200
This dud dude. Talk about badass.

674
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:03.079
Well, I'll tell you. Let's talk about badass. All the

675
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.559
work you see him doing in the movie using the whip.

676
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.240
Yep.

677
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:11.880
So Savini is a noted uh whip master you know,

678
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.640
or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, everything you see,

679
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:16.680
that's that's all real. That's all one hundred percent real.

680
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:20.279
He can use a whip. The use of the use

681
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:23.200
of the whip for his character. That's actually a reference

682
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:27.359
to Simon Belmont from the nineteen eighty six Nintendo game Castlevania.

683
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.720
Ah, that's awesome.

684
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:33.200
So again, I love the lawyer anytime, whether that's whether

685
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:36.839
that's uh Kurtzman or whether that was Tarantino. I love

686
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.880
little Easter eggs like that.

687
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:40.119
Yeah, yep.

688
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:43.599
Savini's fantastic though. I mean he's in he's in stellar

689
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.599
shape too. I mean when you when you watch what

690
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.640
he's doing in this Yep, I think I think he's amazing.

691
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:50.839
You want to talk about his buddy.

692
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:55.359
Yeah, good old Greg Nickotaro buddy as a sex Machines buddy.

693
00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:59.400
Everybody who knows him knows that he has a huge

694
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.599
history of special effects makeup, uh, and obviously is a

695
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:06.640
big part of The Walking Dead, huge part. I guess, uh,

696
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:08.559
you know, doing all the special effects and stuff like

697
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.199
that for that show. But he's got a history of

698
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:15.199
doing a lot of that, and he's not in it much.

699
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.079
No, he's he's he's got he's he's got a notable moment. Yeah,

700
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.639
because he's he's the long haired biker who gets threatened

701
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:26.199
by the codpiece gun after sex Machine uses his bullep

702
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.000
to steal his beer. You know, you know, he's he's

703
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.840
got I think he brandishes like a switchblade or something

704
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:33.599
like that. You know, Savina just looks down at his

705
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:38.360
crotch and like the gun pops up. It's all right,

706
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:44.000
you take the beer. It's it's only pists warm chango. Anyway,

707
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:48.519
got to talk about Danny Treo playing Razor Charlie the Bartender.

708
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:51.719
Danny Treo is awesome and everything that man does he

709
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:53.159
is amazing. He is.

710
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:56.320
You know, I love I love how just how how

711
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.679
polite he is. At the beginning when he like clon,

712
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:03.199
he's like, you know, a round of shots and he

713
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:04.920
pours one and drinks it himself, and he's just he

714
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.400
just wags his fingers like you can't be here, yeah,

715
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.360
like you will here, Yeah, this is this is food,

716
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.679
you know. But he's like, they have a certain client

717
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.719
tele that thereafter, so that when people go missing, the

718
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.639
one who will go looking for him. And he's like, yeah, exactly,

719
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:20.880
I see I see people, I see kids, but yeah,

720
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:21.559
you can't be here.

721
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.039
And there's where Jack Jacob comes to the rescue again.

722
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:28.199
Yeah, oh Jacob, you say this is for truckers. Yeah,

723
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:33.559
he's got his RV license or whatever. He's fantastic man trail,

724
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:36.960
like the face off, like when when Traio vamps out,

725
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.679
he's got you know, he's flexing his traps and you

726
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:42.360
know he's he's got the fight with sex Machine. I

727
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.079
love that moment. That's such a fun, over the top

728
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.000
battle as far as I'm concerned.

729
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.559
Wasn't his character named Razor Charlie Razor Charlie. Yeah, which,

730
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.079
and Jeff, you and I are going to get to

731
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:53.719
meet him.

732
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:55.840
Yeah, you're absolutely right. We're going to be talking to

733
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.280
him what December?

734
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:01.639
Yeah, I think yeah, yeah.

735
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:03.079
I definitely actually I want to talk to him. I

736
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:04.400
don't know how much he'll be allowed to say, but

737
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:07.679
i'd love to talk to him about Tim Travers. Oh yeah,

738
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.840
the Steps of Seed. You know, we had him on

739
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:12.920
the show last season. We talked about you know, they

740
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:15.960
were they were filming it at that point and Treos

741
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:17.519
in it, so you know, maybe he'll maybe he'll give

742
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:19.480
us a little tidbit, you know, a little exclusive.

743
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:21.920
Don't forget. We kind of had that the first introduction

744
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:24.079
of Danny Trejo, who we just recently talked about The Hidden.

745
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:25.880
Remember that's right, we were talking about.

746
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.320
Trayo was hit. I remember that Treia was hidden in

747
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:34.519
The Hidden, That's right. Fred Williamson playing Frost, Oh yes,

748
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.760
I'll tell you. I love his character. But there's I

749
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.440
think it's kind of a weird choice when he kind

750
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:42.679
of goes off on a tangent about that Vietnam story.

751
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:44.800
I know that we need to be distracted so Tom

752
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.840
Savini can vamp out.

753
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.800
Of course we do. Yeah, but it's just it's a it's.

754
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:50.960
A weird choice, man, where because he kind of he

755
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:52.880
kind of gets a thousand yards stare and he just

756
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.119
starts talking about how he's wiping out a whole platoon

757
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:58.960
Viet Calm.

758
00:36:57.760 --> 00:36:59.519
And his vampire effects were creepy.

759
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.679
Oh he was he's got some of the creepiest vampire effects.

760
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.239
His face is almost like predator. Yeah, I gotta. I

761
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.679
gotta wonder though, if you're frost like, is the titty

762
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:12.079
Twister or the best place to smoke cigars and stack dominoes?

763
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.199
Like he he seems like he wants like a speakeas

764
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:18.159
he's like someplace to just relax and and there.

765
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:19.880
You could never get set up.

766
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:26.280
You know, if if Samahayak is stepping over my table,

767
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.079
would still let heels.

768
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.960
You can step over my dominoes, She'll step on your dominoes.

769
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:40.519
Uh, saving talking about supporting players, saving the best for last.

770
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.280
I gotta, I gotta be honest. Satanical Pandemonium, What a

771
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:48.639
cool name. That character name is a reference to the

772
00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:55.559
nineteen seventy five nonsploitation horror film also called Satanico Pandemonium.

773
00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:59.360
Nice and the fact that I just used the phrase

774
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:04.039
unxploitation horror film somebody. I never thought I'd say, listen,

775
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:05.800
I'll tell you right now. As soon as I found

776
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:07.559
that out, I was like, we gotta find this movie.

777
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:09.320
Yeah we do, we need to watch it.

778
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:12.880
Yeah we Oh yeah, here's here comes the follow up.

779
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:14.480
The from Dustill. Now we're gonna be We're gonna do

780
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:18.840
an episode on none splitation horror film Satanaco Pandemonium. I

781
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:24.039
like it, Dave, this is peak samahayak Oh with adult

782
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:26.800
I mean now, I don't know if you've seen her recently,

783
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.760
she only gets hotter. There's some kind of supernatural thing

784
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.440
happening here. She she's she's like the Smoke Show of

785
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:35.039
smoke shows.

786
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:37.039
As far as she's earned, she is a beautiful lady.

787
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:41.840
But here man she reads the script mm hm. And

788
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:45.559
because she is terrified of snakes, just like Indiana Jones

789
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.800
and David Burns's true, she doesn't she doesn't think she's

790
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.679
gonna do it. And Rodriguez, he kind of leads her

791
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.280
to believe that Madonna is hoping to get cast in

792
00:38:56.280 --> 00:39:00.119
the park. So she goes to a therapist for two

793
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.519
months to overcome her fear of handling the Burmese python

794
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:05.239
that she's got.

795
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.960
So here's the funny things. Sorry, here's the funny thing. Jeff,

796
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:13.000
I did not know that detail about her being afraid

797
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:17.599
of snakes. So when I watched this again, when the

798
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:19.480
snake came around her face for the first time, you

799
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.280
can see her face a reaction like oh.

800
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:24.599
Crap, Yeah she holds together.

801
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:27.480
She does, but right then and there like she must

802
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:29.840
be afraid of snakes. So when I went and looked

803
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:33.199
at the holy crap she is, well, she's.

804
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:36.360
Just starting her dance and the thing slithers up like

805
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:39.039
between her cleavage and then goes like like like rubs

806
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:41.119
right across her cheek and goes up into her hair.

807
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:45.079
And she's got to look like she does yeah, like,

808
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:48.599
oh crap, Yeah, what are you gonna do that dance?

809
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.639
You know, maybe set there for two months, maybe maybe you.

810
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:55.079
Can and if you mean not, pay can't.

811
00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:02.559
I'm sure that dance is one hundred percent improvised by Samahayak,

812
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:08.400
and Rodriguez's only direction was fal the music and moved

813
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.840
to it. Boy. Yeah, it's one of the greatest dance

814
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:16.519
like you know, like sexy dance scenes in a in

815
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:18.920
a movie. And I'll be honest with you, like she

816
00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:21.039
I know, I've read where she said, Hey she was

817
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:22.800
she was she was relieved she didn't have to do

818
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.880
it nude. Yeah, she's like the she's the star attraction

819
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:26.719
of a strip club.

820
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:29.840
You don't need her to take it off, No, you don't.

821
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.360
It is mega watt hot ye regardless, And.

822
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.840
I can tell you right now, I will happily drink

823
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:37.000
beer off her foot.

824
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:43.599
Let's let's think about this. We're improvising the dance. Yeah,

825
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.440
you know, Quentin Tarantino is that he's he's he's no,

826
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:48.119
there's been a lot of talking about her. He kind

827
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:49.079
of has a thing for feet.

828
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:50.599
He's got a fetish at that, there's no doubt.

829
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.239

And I like, let's do it.

835
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.719
Yeah, all right, I'll tell you what. Let's let's we

836
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:12.239
got we got some cameos here, uh, cameos before they

837
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.599
were famous. I'm gonna there's something new at you. Okay,

838
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:19.239
I'm gonna add it after they were famous. All right,

839
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.239
So let's you know, I know, and you you already

840
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:26.800
mentioned Greg nicotiro yep, the lovely Kelly Preston is the

841
00:41:26.840 --> 00:41:29.920
newscaster Kelly Hoague. This is like a like another two

842
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.880
minute scene. You're not It's like you're watching it on TV.

843
00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:34.880
Plus you see it like for a split second, like

844
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:35.480
in real time.

845
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:36.159
Yep.

846
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:38.840
Do you know how she got this this this role?

847
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.639
No. So.

848
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:45.239
Originally, when Quentin Tarantino is looking to cast this movie

849
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:48.400
before it comes out, he meets with John Travolta, who

850
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:52.360
was one of his idols growing up. He tells John Travolta,

851
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:55.840
I've got two movies for you that you're perfect for.

852
00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:59.679
I got a vampire movie where you're the lead. You're

853
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:03.639
You're is Seth Gecko. I've got another movie where you're

854
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:05.440
not the lead, but you're it's a pretty you're a

855
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.960
hitman called Vincent Vega. Travolta is looking at pulp Fiction

856
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:11.199
and From Dust Till Dawn in front of him, and

857
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:13.920
he says, I'm not doing vampire movies. That doesn't interest me,

858
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.000
which was a good that's a good call for him,

859
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.039
because remember he wins the Academy Award for Us he

860
00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:19.039
does pulp fiction.

861
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:19.639
Yep.

862
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:24.440
Meanwhile, his wife Kelly Preston is there and Quentin's like, oh,

863
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.920
you know what you'd be cool for the newscaster, well,

864
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:29.280
name of Kelly, and she she takes the role. It's

865
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.360
a little, little small cameo, but she does it just

866
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:34.599
because they're friendly I don't know how you get John

867
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:38.400
Saxon in a thirty second cameo playing the FBI agent

868
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:39.199
that she's talking.

869
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:42.039
To barely in this movie, barely in it. Yeah. When

870
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:43.840
I first all said, holy crab, John Saxon, I always

871
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:46.519
remembering how it was Lieutenant Thompson from Nightman m Street.

872
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:50.639
But well, and he's never coming back in this movie.

873
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.000
Like, no, you get one little little little shot of him. Yeah,

874
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:57.280
you know he's fat, he is, he's he's Nancy's dad

875
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:59.159
from a Nightmare on UM Street. But I always remember

876
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:03.400
him from Enter the Dragon. Oh absolutely, I love him

877
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:07.719
The Dragon. Yeah, all right, I almost I had to

878
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:10.119
hear his voice to to know who he was because

879
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:11.559
I know him now. But then I was like, wow,

880
00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:15.679
look how young he is. John Hawks playing Pete Bottoms,

881
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:18.760
the clerk at the Benny's Wordal Liquor.

882
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:19.239
Yep.

883
00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.199
You know, at this point in his career he's doing

884
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.599
good work as a as a that guy, and he's

885
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.360
several years away from his star making performance and winners,

886
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.599
but where he's winning all those awards because now he's

887
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:34.119
John Hawks. But you watch this this role and it's like, wow,

888
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.840
look at him mm hmm. Which you know, it's kind

889
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:38.719
of funny, Like I know, I know, Uh, they wanted Beshemi,

890
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:42.360
Steve Ashemi to play the role, but he wasn't. Oh

891
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:43.480
he would have been great in it. He would have

892
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:47.599
I'll tell you, yeah, I'll tell you that the person

893
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:49.679
I wish we had more of in this movie. Mm hmm,

894
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:52.639
Michael Parks is the Texas Ranger Earl McGraw.

895
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:54.039
Yeah.

896
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.159
And it's funny because now, like this movie comes out

897
00:43:56.159 --> 00:44:00.239
before Kill Bill and uh, Planet Terror, but now you

898
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.039
have to see this as taking place after those two

899
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:08.920
movies because he's in those movies. They Tarantino and Rodriguez

900
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.880
love this guy so much, Michael Parks that they're like,

901
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:13.960
we got to have more of him. Let's and we

902
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.280
love the character. Let's just keep Earl mcgrawl coming back.

903
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:20.119
I think it's fantastic. I need to his dialogue. Man,

904
00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:25.159
it's it's some of the best in this movie. That man, Yeah,

905
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:28.519
it is, it is. Yeah. It was sad to see

906
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.360
Michael Parks get shot. I did not like that, you know.

907
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:33.599
No, and the way he went down that the whole

908
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:34.920
scene was really well done though.

909
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.800
Come on, yeah, but you think, what's that go? It's

910
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.440
like it goes almost like thirteen minutes, fifteen minutes something

911
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.719
like that. Yeah, you don't think about tension building until

912
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:45.719
he goes to use the bathroom, and then Seth Geko

913
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:48.039
walks up said, what are you doing? You let him

914
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:49.719
use the bathroom, you know, and then you're like, oh, wait,

915
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:51.119
we're in the middle of a situation here.

916
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:53.800
And that's a really cool then too, dude, because when

917
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:56.880
it opens up, you get the slow opening, you get

918
00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:58.760
this long drawl of dialogue. You don't even know the

919
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:01.760
two main characters are already in. They're waiting and what's

920
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:05.400
going on, you know, until they you see about the news,

921
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.280
you know, the bank robbers and stuff like that. But

922
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.039
they' already there in the store. That's so cool.

923
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:13.239
I gotta tell you. There's a there's a great audio

924
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:17.000
commentary that Rodriguez and Tarantino does. They initially did it

925
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:18.519
for the Laser disc and they just have kind of

926
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:22.480
added it onto the DV the DVD collector's editions and

927
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.159
the Blu rays that kind of thing. But they're talking

928
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:28.800
they have I mean, they have such revere the reverer

929
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.559
for this guy, and they're talking about his performance, and

930
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:34.760
they just wanted to let him go. He just kept

931
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:38.360
going and they just were fascinated by his by his uh,

932
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.840
his his delivery. Yeah, he's he's amazing.

933
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:42.880
Yeah for sure.

934
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:49.800
You had mentioned nikotiro m h. Howard Berger the B

935
00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:53.280
in K and B effects group. Mm hm, that's the

936
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:55.880
He's the trucker vampire that bites sex machine.

937
00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:57.239
Yeah, you know, so.

938
00:45:57.199 --> 00:45:59.239
Another think about it. You're you're on the set, You're

939
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.599
you're doing all this USh effects. You need all these

940
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:04.000
extras to play vampires. Just jump in, have a good time.

941
00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:06.679
To use your crew as absolutely the best way to

942
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:07.000
do it.

943
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:10.800
All right, I got two more. This one's an easy one.

944
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:12.760
I don't think we've ever talked about a cameo by

945
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:16.800
a non living person, but we have a special shout

946
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:20.199
out to uh big Kahuna Burgers. Oh yeah, when Seth

947
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:23.639
walked in with those burgers, you saw the logo eating

948
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:25.440
Bighna Burgers. That's awesome.

949
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:26.039
Yep.

950
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:29.400
I love. I love the fact that these movies are

951
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:33.760
loosely connected, you know, and the roer Riguez Quentin Tarantino

952
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:35.280
shared universe, if if.

953
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:37.320
You will, it's like the Stephen King world where like

954
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.719
a lot of his movies take place in the same world. Yeah,

955
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:41.159
so does this? This is so cool.

956
00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:44.400
I think it's fantastic. I'm gonna leave you with one more.

957
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:48.320
I told you that I had a and after they

958
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:51.000
were famous, Okay, which is a weird way of saying it,

959
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:54.880
because you know your famous, you're famous. But uh, what

960
00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:58.960
can you tell me about Mark Lawrence? Mark Lawrence does

961
00:46:59.000 --> 00:46:59.639
that ring a bell?

962
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:01.000
Does not ring a bell?

963
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:04.320
Jeff, and he is playing but well, you're I'm gonna

964
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:08.039
blow your mind. I think he is playing the elderly

965
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:11.239
motel owner otherwise known as mean old bastard.

966
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:14.679
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, you know, okay, I was just

967
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:15.440

968
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.960
I'm doing my homework like you are. We want to

969
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:19.039

Stun on mids Days. Yeah, Dave, let's for the Star

997
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.280
Trek fans that are listening and just now finding out

998
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.719
that we have a Star Trek podcast. While they're taking

999
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:58.480
a minute to look that up. Let's take one last break,

1000
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.480
and when we come back going to be time for

1001
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:09.400
keeping it real. Welcome back, David and I have been

1002
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:14.440
discussing from dusk till dawn. Dave, It's time to keep

1003
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:19.039
it real. H Three questions that we always ask on

1004
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:22.960
nineteen ninety six. Let's start with my favorite. One of

1005
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.320
our favorite actors. Billy Zopka was dominating Dojo's high school

1006
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.599
cafeterias and college swimming pools in some of the best

1007
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.960
movies in the nineteen eighties. Then he's notably absent from

1008
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:38.840
Hollywood for most of the nineties. My question is what

1009
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:43.000
about zob Dave replaced one actor from this film with

1010
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:50.760
William Zopka Richard Gecko. Richard Geko? You yeah, Zopka as Richie? Yeah?

1011
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:54.079
Wow? I really think can't pull it off?

1012
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:58.119
Absolutely, I don't know he listened. Zopka is known for

1013
00:49:58.119 --> 00:49:59.480
playing heroes in my in my.

1014
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.639
Book is he.

1015
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:06.559
Could he play? Could he play a scumback like Richie Gecko?

1016
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:07.280
I don't know?

1017
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.079
Oh yeah, come on, come on, Jeff, let your love

1018
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.920
go a little bit and see the side that he

1019
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:15.599
could play a bad guy? Yes. Wow.

1020
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:19.480
Here's the thing, though, Zopka is a good looking cat Man.

1021
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:21.320
If he puts the moves on Juliet Lewis, She's probably

1022
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.519
gonna be like, Yeah, I'm gonna She's gonna fall for it.

1023
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:28.480
Uh she she she will ask the fantasy question in

1024
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:34.320
real life. Probably we have a whole different movie than listen.

1025
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:36.159
I you know, you know, I'm a big fan of

1026
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.880
William Soka. I'm actually gonna give him a little bit

1027
00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:42.119
of a break in this one, Okay, I'm gonna give

1028
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:45.360
him more of a cameo. I see him playing Pete

1029
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:49.400
the clerk at Benny's Word Liquor, Okay, and I almost

1030
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:51.519
feel like there's a there. Maybe there's a moment where

1031
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.159
in the in the midst of the chaos, where they're

1032
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:58.159
firing at each other. Give me just one moment where

1033
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:00.960
there's like a two guys run out a bullet scene

1034
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:05.760
and he gives like a nice swift kick to Richie's face,

1035
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.840
you know something. And then and then Seth you know,

1036
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:11.280
comes in and saves the day. I don't know. I

1037
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:12.960
think he would have had fun. I would have loved

1038
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:16.320
to see William Zakka talking with Michael Parks. I like

1039
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:21.480
it sequel, prequel, remake, Dave, if you had control of

1040
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:24.920
this ip, What would be your pitch to this studio

1041
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:25.679
to revive it?

1042
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:28.000
So I know they've done a sequel. I know they've

1043
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.320
done a prequel. So what I would like to do

1044
00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:36.239
is I want to make a series on either HBO,

1045
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:41.679
Max or Netflix where I can expand on characters and

1046
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:43.880
obviously get away with a lot more because I can

1047
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.480
be on those streaming services to make it adult where

1048
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:48.840
it needs to be. That's what I would want to do.

1049
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:51.960
I will tell you, I don't know if I'm gonna

1050
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.440
make you happier, break your heart, but if I'm not mistake,

1051
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:58.000
I don't know. I'm pretty sure they did three seasons.

1052
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:00.400
They did a from Dusk till Donal did day series. Yeah,

1053
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:04.159
and they fleshed out all the characters. So I think

1054
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:04.960
it's on Netflix.

1055
00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:06.039
I've never seen it.

1056
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:07.079
We'll have to look at it.

1057
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:08.760
But I knew it should have been one, but it

1058
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:12.159
already is one. So there you go. I'm gonna go

1059
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.159
a different way, Okay.

1060
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:20.440
Given that this movie evolved into direct to video horror

1061
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:24.960
franch Given that this movie evolved into a direct to

1062
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:27.239
video horror franchise, because it was like I think there

1063
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:31.280
was like two sequels. Maybe three before the TV series,

1064
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:34.440
because I know there's like Texas blood Money, there's the

1065
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:38.559
Hangman's Daughter. I'll tell you what. I'm wanting a legacy

1066
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:43.920
sequel though, Okay, starring Juliette Lewis, who's still out there

1067
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:48.400
in Mexico slaying vampires. They think of her as having

1068
00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:52.679
a feared reputation, kind of similar to Ben Derris and Desperado,

1069
00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:56.519
where the vampire Din. Yeah, so imagine like the vampire

1070
00:52:56.559 --> 00:52:59.239
Din's kind of questioned whether she's real or she's a legend.

1071
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:04.920
I'm gonna call it from Dusk till Dawn a sacina

1072
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:10.599
de vampidos, which is Spanish for vampire killer. Oh, okay,

1073
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:12.159
I like to have a cool you gotta have a

1074
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:13.159
cool catch title.

1075
00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:16.360
Yeah, I really like that a lot. I we all

1076
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:18.039
get behind that, Jeff.

1077
00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:19.599
Yeah, and you know we didn't get a chance to

1078
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:21.360
talk with her, but you saw her, you know, we

1079
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:25.440
were We saw her at Still Citycon. She put her

1080
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:27.880
in an action movie. She's ready, she was Oh, she

1081
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:30.199
was shredded. She looked, she looked amazing.

1082
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:30.760
Yep.

1083
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:34.199
I could totally see her, you know, running around killing vampires.

1084
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:35.760
Absolutely, I'd love it.

1085
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:41.920
Yep. Dave DVD extras. In nineteen ninety six the DVD.

1086
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:46.599
The DVD format is initially introduced to US markets. We

1087
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:50.280
love these compact discs, the high definition, you know, the

1088
00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:54.079
great sound. We're tossing our VHS tapes out, which we

1089
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:58.440
shouldn't have done. No. Yeah, But for centophiles like us,

1090
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:04.880
exclusive special features were always French and Spanish subtitles, scene selection,

1091
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:10.159
production notes. They just no frills. What DVD extra would

1092
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:13.480
you want on your DVD for this film? And I'll

1093
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:15.760
give you some choices. Here. You get an end character

1094
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:21.000
audio commentary, You can have a making of documentary or

1095
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:25.840
the ever growing popular Amber Lewis Actors roundtable.

1096
00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:29.360
So here's what I would want, Jeff, I want a

1097
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.599
making of documentary, but doing it into the style of

1098
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:35.000
the modern crime documentary, be where we cut to like

1099
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:40.360
interviewing police and showing like reenactments of scenes on what happened. However,

1100
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:43.199
this one would be like an unsolved mystery episode as

1101
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:46.039
we opened with the bank robbery, discussioning the two main

1102
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:49.800
robbers family their past, and followed their crimes pretty into

1103
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:53.199
escaping to Mexico. But there was much more. They just disappeared.

1104
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:54.239
We don't know what happened to them.

1105
00:54:54.239 --> 00:54:54.519
We don't.

1106
00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:54.760
Yeah.

1107
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:58.639
Oh okay, So you're talking like a faux documentary, correct, yep. Oh,

1108
00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:00.639
I would love that because, like you were talking documentary.

1109
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:04.400
And here's the thing, Like the Collector's Edition DVD that

1110
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:08.239
I've got has a full tilt bookie and it's like

1111
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.639
a hour and a half long. It's like feature length

1112
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:13.480
long documentary on the making of this movie. And anyone

1113
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:15.480
that's a fan of From Dust till Dawn, I highly

1114
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:19.880
recommend it because you get to hear everything. Yeah, and

1115
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:21.480
you know, like I said, I mentioned that there's a

1116
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:25.440
really great audio commentary. So for me, while I love

1117
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:28.840
your faux documentary, uh, I'm gonna go with the Amber

1118
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:32.840
Lewis Actors round Table and Dave, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1119
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:35.280
I'm gonna pull up three of the film stars that

1120
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:38.599
you can currently check out on the convention circuit right now.

1121
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.159
So I'm gonna I'm gonna ask Tom Savini, Juliet Lewis,

1122
00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:43.440
and Danny Treo to do the actor's round table.

1123
00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:46.159
Oh nice, Okay, that's my that's my pick.

1124
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:49.920
Here, got to ask you film's legacy, let's talk about

1125
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.559
it has this Uh, let's let's talk about how this

1126
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.000
movie is aged over over time. Would you say this

1127
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:58.039
is a classic, a cult classic, or just a product

1128
00:55:58.079 --> 00:55:58.559
of its time.

1129
00:55:59.280 --> 00:56:01.320
There's no doubt at the it's it's I'm gonna say

1130
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:03.599
it's a cult classic. At this point, it's a cult classic.

1131
00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:03.800
Dude.

1132
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:06.079
Absolutely, Yep, yeah, that quite absolutely.

1133
00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:09.039
So let me ask you this, Uh, let's talk about

1134
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:11.679
how this film impacted pop culture if at all. Do

1135
00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:14.159
you know you have any thought? I got some thoughts here,

1136
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:15.639
but I want to I want to see what you think.

1137
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:18.639
So. I know, when we talked about Scream, we talked

1138
00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:22.079
about the audience, you know, getting smarter, and I think

1139
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:24.599
this movie kind of fits that mole too, Jeff. You know,

1140
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:27.239
the vampire genre had been done a lot, and even

1141
00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:30.320
though they have the same cliches in this film, it

1142
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.480
is done in a way that still shocks and makes

1143
00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:35.159
an audience laugh. It kind of brings that together, you know.

1144
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:38.800
And again I will talk about this is a tale

1145
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:40.679
of two stories. You know, we get that first portion

1146
00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:43.639
of the film where we have a typical Quentin Tarantino

1147
00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:46.440
film bank robbers trying to get away. We get the

1148
00:56:46.519 --> 00:56:49.159
usual long dialogue scenes, but then we try we get

1149
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:52.719
that the destination film that literally flips the script, you know,

1150
00:56:53.440 --> 00:56:56.519
and this is again in a time in nineties when

1151
00:56:56.679 --> 00:57:00.000
the audience has gotten smarter and you need to chant

1152
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:03.400
change that script. You got to change that formula. And

1153
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:06.760
it's exactly what Quentin Tarantino did here. We had Quentin

1154
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:08.880
Tarantina films up to this point. We knew what he

1155
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:13.760
could do. He's a fantastic writer, fantastic director, and we

1156
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:16.159
kind of didn't expect to see this and this is

1157
00:57:16.199 --> 00:57:17.440
what we got. And I think that's what took it

1158
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:17.960
by storm.

1159
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:22.320
I think you're definitely onto something there because he has

1160
00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:27.639
established himself as like the action packed crime movie guy,

1161
00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:30.159
right with the reservoir Dogs in pulp fiction, and then

1162
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:32.239
out of out of the blue, he's hitting us with

1163
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:39.000
this over the top, campy vampire horror film and it works. Man,

1164
00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:42.159
it works, yep. I think, you know, in addition to

1165
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:45.960
several sequels and a TV series from Dustill Down benefited

1166
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:49.679
from a merchandising boom. Let me think about that. Everywhere

1167
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:53.760
you looked T shirts, action figures nowadays, you can there's

1168
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:57.400
Funko pops, there's a video game, and you know, you

1169
00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.280
kind of you kind of briefly mentioned this when we

1170
00:57:59.360 --> 00:58:01.159
when we started this at the top of the hour.

1171
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:04.159
It's one of the more quotable films of the nineties.

1172
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:08.679
HM so so much. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised

1173
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:12.280
to realize I've been paraphrasing a quote of this thing

1174
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:17.039
for you know, past almost you know, three decades, right,

1175
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.199
And sometimes I I, you know, I say something and

1176
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:21.639
I'm like, oh, that's that was some cool shit, or

1177
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:24.519
someone says, oh, I love you know, you know, shame

1178
00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:27.519
on me, because like I, that was seth geckout.

1179
00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:30.440
You know what is Isn't it not strange? Though we

1180
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:33.280
get two horror franchises that both come out in ninety six,

1181
00:58:33.320 --> 00:58:36.199
that both do something completely different that was needed in

1182
00:58:36.239 --> 00:58:38.559
the horror genre. Isn't that crazy?

1183
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:41.920
It's it's a it's it's a coincidental thing. But it's

1184
00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:44.760
also it's a it's an amazing thing. Because you know,

1185
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:48.039
when you talk about what's what what what's the best

1186
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:50.760
year for for cinema in nineteen ninety in the nineteen nineties,

1187
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:53.519
I don't have that answer. I honestly don't, you know,

1188
00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:57.360
but just just based off of what we've been talking about,

1189
00:58:57.440 --> 00:58:59.000
you know, because I can think of somebody like ninety

1190
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:01.840
four is a stellar year. Ninety nine was an amazing year,

1191
00:59:01.840 --> 00:59:06.119
but ninety six did like it did some real service

1192
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:09.760
or for Hollywood in general. It brought back the slasher film,

1193
00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:12.360
it brought back the vampire film. It made it made

1194
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:15.800
bad guys cool like it was. It was cool to

1195
00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:19.639
like the bad guy in nineteen ninety six. So we

1196
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:21.440
have we have from Dustill down to thank for that.

1197
00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:22.800
We do well.

1198
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.000
