Cheers folks, hope 2024 has started well for you all!
Sure haz big guy ✌🏻🧔🏻♀️
You too Davy, cheers.
Davy, I was glad that you mentioned Castle of Blood (1964), I saw that movie last year. At first, I had low expectations. Then, I watched it and I thought what a masterpiece! I need to build up my Antonio Margheriti film collection. I only own Castle of Blood (1964) and Cannibal Apocalypse (1980). Margheriti was criminally underrated as a director.
Great hearing you mention Bergman! I look forward to hearing more arthouse references in the future
Topics I'd love to hear you fellas discuss:
--Horror films/performances that DESERVED more love from the Oscars/other cinematic awards
--Favorite MINOR characters in horror
--WORST creative choices made/directions taken in horror franchises
--Crossovers that SHOULD have happened
--AWFUL horror films that you would remove from existence if you had the power
--Favorite films by DECADE
Excellent ideas
Very glad that you’ve all watched over 1 and a 1/4 hours worth of film speak for us to digest. Thank you all for your time and thanks Pete for bringing it to us, cheers.
Cheers Trev!
These are some my favorite MD episodes with the crew just sharing what they're watching. Gotta give Craig the win -- The Wraith, Fargo S5 and shout out to Gymkata -- epic!
Love the longer episodes, more Den more fun. Thanks enormously.
Agree with Davy - Prince of Darkness is a rare steak, not junk food at all. I'm sure I rated it as Carpenter's best when you did his movies.
One of his best music scores also
Yeah, I love it. The "Apocalypse Trilogy" of The Thing, Prince Of Darkness and In The Mouth Of Madness are all wonderful, I think. Prince's exploration of religion meeting science is much, much smarter than it gets credit for. As Carpenter himself said - in America he's a has been, in Europe...he's an artist!
Great show! I'm going to rewatch and take notes.
The Von Erichs story is so friggin' sad that the biopic had to remove the death of TWO of the brothers (one was electrocuted at age six).
"Prince of Darkness" is pretty cool, but dear god what a dull male lead.
Speaking of "The Sopranos," a super underrated Gandolfini crime flick to check out is "The Drop." Upper tier Tom Hardy too.
Few recent watches for me:
"Popcorn" for the first time since I was a kid. All I remembered about it was the classic tagline "Buy a bag. Go home in a box!" but it's actually pretty good, with a neat movies-within-the-movie gimmick. Dee Wallace sure did show up in some horror movies.
"The Murder Mansion" (1972)-slightly bland variation of the "Old Dark House" plot, though the twist is decent. Wouldn't have minded seeing that hot chick naked, but no such luck.
"Day of the Animals"-loved it, good kills, and unhinged Leslie Nielsen is tremendous.
"Alligator"-good fun! the two scenes where it's on the loose in the city and at the party are so great, plus all the jokes about Robert Forster going bald are hilarious. gonna watch the sequel tonight, which is supposed to suck!
"The Lodge"-one of those movies where if you think about what's happening the whole thing falls apart and possibly too bleak even for me (christ, that's a graphic suicide scene!)
"The Devil All the Time"-more bleak stuff here, but this is a lot better, with a rapey preacher played by Robert Pattinson and a subplot about a couple who kills guys after the wife bangs them (seriously). A fun time for all.
I'm a few days late, but I've been watching a little bit here and there...
I kicked off the new year by rewatching Natural Born Killers. Still holds up thirty years later!
My first film of the year was the latest Blumhouse/Atomic Monster production Night Swim starring Wyatt Russell. It was so-so, but not as bad as the critics make it out to be. It just had a bit of an identity crisis, not seeming to be sure as to whether it wanted to rip off The Shining, Jaws, or Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
I also recently rewatched this obscure 1994 film called S.F.W. (So Fucking What). It stars Stephen Dorff as this slacker named Cliff Spab, who is considered a national treasure after being videotaped as one of five individuals being taken hostage for 36 days by this terrorist group at some convenience store. And the only other survivor of the ordeal is played by Reese Witherspoon in one of her earliest roles. Badass soundtrack to this film, too - Soundgarden, Rainbow, Monster Magnet, et al.
When it comes to winter time, 70s movies captured the season perfectly.
For example Silent Night Bloody Night, & Black Christmas.
Not only do you feel the cold coming from the screen when watching the films, because the actors do look genuinely cold, but the movies also feel Christmassy despite a serial killer going on a rampage.
The opening scenes to Silent Night Bloody Night, Black Christmas instantly sets you in the mood compared to other movies set at Christmas with the fake snow & the actors sweltering in their winter clothes because it was filmed during the summer.
Great show as ever. Some good recommendations for me to check out 👍
Yes I loved Ghost Story/Circle Of Fear from 1972-73..very good show wished it had lasted longer
Fun show! Have to say I didn't like Silent Night cause there was no dialogue in the whole movie, which was annoying. Craig, thanks for mentioning Fargo, great new season!
I’ve never followed wrestling and had no idea what the story was about but The Iron Claw blew me away. Definitely more a story about the brotherhood than about wrestling necessarily like you said. It hit me hard though. 2nd favorite film of last year. The time jumps didn’t bother me, I found everything to be very easy to follow. Interesting to hear that a brother was left out though.
Great show as usual - taking notes!
Love you guys! Keep doing what you do and I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2024!
Cheers Jason - 4K celebration in 2 weeks and the previously revealed 5 Guillermo Del Toro faves the ep after that!
Thanks gents! Twas a long episode that flew by!!!
15mins longer than a lot of em..but did feel long! As long as people enjoy it I guess :) Cheers
The Netflix movie Dan talked about was directed by Sam Esmail who created Mr Robot the series with rami malek
Welcome back boys!
Missed you guys. Hope it was a great holiday and no one got coal in their stockings!
VFW kinda kicks ass!!
ONLY coal! Thanks my man, same to you!
Check out some of the Korean and Japanese horror movies. Audition, I saw the Devil, gozu, Ringu…. They have a much different style than we do in the West. Some great 80s Hong Kong Action flicks too.
Prince Of Darkness is steak!! Well said Davy. I can’t understand the hate for this. Loved it then. Love it now. Love it always. Great show guys.
Oh I do enjoy Prince of Darkness, but plot-wise it's a little goofy. Carpenter's music is especially effective and creepy throughout.
@@craigkaminski I hear ya. Great call- I watch this every year or so. Love the vibe and the dream sequences of the devil coming out of the church is eerie as hell.
Box of delights , bbc series broadcast in run up to Xmas 1984 . Watched it as a kid at my grandmas house , now watch it with my daughter every year . Check it , childhood memories
Love it, I have it in my Patrick Troughton collection!
Ah , a kindred spirit ! My daughter and I also love Jim Hensons Story Teller . ( she won't entertain Hawk the slayer though 🤣 )
Great show.
Kudos to Davy for noting the Triffids problem with the John Wyndham estate. I think there is still another good Triffids movie out there in the future if the right director can solve it.
(No M. Night with his water.)
Cheers and thanks to everyone for all of your insights.
Cheers, I'm a massive Wyndham fan. I think he's up there with Kneale and Wheatley for UK horror of that era.
I do not believe enough people can say they read the book. But that movie is something significant from my youth on saturdays huddled in front of the tv watching The Ghoul or Sir Graves Ghastly telling mom we best need to weed the garden right now.
Good show gentlemen! Some good recommendations for me to check out!
Cheers, let us know if you do!
Love these episodes (I haven't watched it yet) but just a comment first: have you guys seen the documentary movies in search of darkness? Great documentary that is a loveletter to 80s horror movies, if not I would recommend it!
Yep, I have the 3 on bluray and the sci-fi spin off. Terrific stuff even if the first is a bit...basic for big fans.
@@DavysFlicks Thanks Davy I wasnt aware there was a scifi spinoff going to check it out! Thats why ur the King of movie knowledge.
Craig: What did you think of the ending of Fargo? I love all 5 seasons of Fargo. One of the best TV series ever.
the 4th season was a let down
@@user-ov9sg5bs3e I liked all seasons. I’m rewatching all of the seasons now. Just started season 3.
@@jimave the 3rd season is my favourite although it's not critically acclaimed, but I love its dark sinister vibe. and the main villain played by David Thewlis is probably one of the most disgusting yet charismatic villains I've ever seen.
I liked the final episode of S5, although I thought there would be more action when Roy was caught. I thought Munch would flip out in the final scene too 😅 but overall I enjoyed the season.
Just finished watching society of the snow on netflix.. Great remake
Drooling over that Coffin Joe set.
Wipe the drool off! ;)
1:22:47 kinda like Godfrey Ho with Richard Harrison? Lol. If i remember correctly, Godfrey had directed Richard for a single role, but then spliced it into like 20 or so movies made from odds and ends that he found in a closet
Prince of Darkness is worth watching for Alice Cooper as a homeless guy who kills a man with half a bicycle. How good was John Carpenter's weed at that point? The mind boggles.
EPIC show! 🍺🍺
Great vid
Regarding the Von Erich’s fans are better off watching the documentaries Heroes of World Class, the documentary that WCCW & Kevin Von Erich made and The Triumph & Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling.
Both are pretty detailed the first one more so, don’t sugarcoat anything, and honestly it’s better to hear what went on from people / talent that were actually there.
Triumph And Tragedy was terrific. Kevin's line about being the oldest of 5 brothers and now not even being a brother....man
@@DavysFlicks Hearing Kevin say that was rough, especially for him I’m sure. Triumph & Tragedy left out a few things but overall did a good job.
The documentary that Kevin worked on a couple years before selling the rights to Vince was more thorough, mentioned some talent that Triumph & Tragedy glossed over, and gave more of a history lesson on the promotion.
Thankfully I was able to see one of the Von Erich’s live, as I saw Kerry wrestle Ted DiBiase in ‘91.
@@BlackMoore82 That's awesome. The only old school guys I've seen live were Piper and Flair at a house show in Glasgow and Hogan for a TNA taping here. Loads from the attitude era and beyond but....the icons were before my time.
I'm surprised the soundtrack for VFW wasn't noted here, it's very much a (successful) homage to Carpenter to boot.
Just finished:
Echo on Disney+
Obliterated on Netflix
Ferrari film (2023)
Has anyone of you seen "Suitable Flesh" (2023)? I think you guys would enjoy it.
Not yet, but looking forward to it. I love anything with Barbara Crampton.
what? no love for “Hard Target” with JCVD by John Woo?
It's fun, but it's got nothing on The Killer, Hard Boiled, A Bullet In the Head, etc.
I've....never liked any Van Damme. But my buddy Sam had the recent UK Bloodsport 4K on his blurays of the year vid.
@@DavysFlicks gotta love Bloodsport…the best made action 80s story that is based on bs thrown out there by a conman.
any thoughts on a movie Let Me In?
We discussed that on a prior what we’ve been watching episode
ty @@seaoftranquilityprog
Love it. Brilliant remake of Let The Right One In....and it's a Hammer film!
@@DavysFlicks was the original any good?
@@tommymaier3017 100%.
La piedad
I've tried, but S5 of Fargo is absolutely terrible. That show was already going downhill, but stil had redeeming moments. This new season is barrel bottom and full with too much agenda and unhinged social commentary. Offensive, honestly. Written terribly.
Leave the World Behind, was okay predictable to me,.... the line that everyone misses, trust should not be doled easily to anyone, especially white people! Thanks Barack!
Watched "The Wicker Man" original 73 version for the first time. Very disappointing.
A total classic.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Just seemed dated, understandably. Not scary. Not even shocking.
I didn't think it was all that when I first saw it 30 years ago. But it tends to grow on you. Folk horror, in general (at least for me), does that. So I'd say give it another shot in a few years.
I bought that movie on dvd way back because it was supposedly a classic, watched it, and felt the same way. I’ll give it another spin, maybe it’ll grow on me. 🤔
@@Jamie.Laszlo maybe a decade. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The fourth is actually my favorite of the Death Wish movies 'cause it combines the stupidity of part 3 but brings back some of the nastiness of part 2. And it's got the better one liners ("I was making a sandwich", "How many children have you killed with this sheeeit", and so on).
What a carreer path for J. Lee Thompson. From "Guns of Navarone" and "Cape Fear" to "Happy Birthday to Me" and the scummiest of 80s Bronsploitation. "Kinjite" is quite the film to go out.
And even before Navarone, some of my favourite British films of the 50s - Yield To The Night and Ice Cold In Alex. And for Den purposes, of course, Conquest and Battle in the Planet Of The Apes series. A true journeyman.
I think they made like nine films together, something like that. I love DW4 too, it's so much better than its reputation.
