SimpliSafe's home security active guard outdoor protection is the only home security designed to prevent crimes before they happen. Paul, that seems impossible. Well, no, no, no, no, it's not. It's like having Batman in your house. Okay. These state-of-the-art features make me feel

What was Jason's favorite Halloween costume? Why is Spencer such a dumb, dumb, dummy?

And what movie made Paul so freaked out that he got scared as an adult? All this and more on today's Last Looks. Hit the theme! Did this get made? Trash can fires in Jacob's Ladder. Started out bad, now it's getting badder. Jason Zeno, down at the lock, that's where I seen him. How did he?

Tall John Sheeran, Jason Suss, balcony monsters about to puke. Do you die and ask what's its mission? And where the butt stops is another question. How did this get made? How did this get made?

What's up, my Lady Raven stans? It's me, your favorite uncle. Yes, your mother's brother, for those who find that a little bit confusing. Paul Scheer, here to talk to you about all the things that we might have missed from the film Trap. Now, Trap...

was a great film. There's no denying that. As a matter of fact, there might have even been a better title. Ghostbag from Discord thinks that the better title for this movie should have been That's So Lady Raven. Solid. I like that. Okay, anyway, thank you, Ghostbag, for that title. Remember, if you have an alt movie title or a tagline, submit it to us on our Discord, and we may...

We just may read it on the air. People, welcome to Last Looks. So much coming up on the show today. We're going to have your corrections and omissions. You know that, right? We're even going to have a deleted scene from our Trap Live show. Jason is going to join me to answer a ton of Halloween-themed questions that you sent to us on social media. And we'll get into stuff like what movies scared us when we were kids, what's our favorite Halloween movies. We're

our favorite costumes. It's a real Halloween extravaganza. And as always, I will reveal the movie for next week's episode. But...

I got to ask you a question because you've asked us a lot, Paul, when are you going to do another virtual live show? And the answer is we're doing it on December 12th. We are doing a holiday virtual live show. You can get your tickets right now. Just go to hdtgm.com. It is available to stream. It is available to watch later. There's no country restrictions. It is

very nicely priced so get your tickets it will never sell out but if you get them now they won't go up like the day or two before which is the way that i think it kind of works anyway uh so get your tickets for that holiday show and guess what we're bringing back jessica st claire for the holiday show because we have to i mean we need our crones in attendance plus philly we're coming back to this is a

I wish we would have saved it for Philly. Unfortunately, we didn't. But you can come out and see us in Philly, and we will recreate everything that you need from Trap. We will have a butcher in our audience at the Miller Theater on November 16th. And if you want to just hang out with me and Jason, people like Nicole Byer and Chloe Trost and Lisa Gilroy and Carl Tartt,

And Rob Hubel and Seth Morris, come see Dinosaur. That is our improv show. And we're going to be in Boston and DC. All these tickets available at hdtgm.com. My book still available.

because it's a book. And thank you so much for the amazing reviews I keep on getting. People are finding it. It blows my mind. I just always wanted to say thank you to this audience for supporting it. It means a lot to me. Anyway, that's it for the plugs. Let's get into some corrections and omissions. Set us straight, people. Fact check us, if you will. But first, Bombay Beach Revival, lead us in. Just wait one minute.

All right, we're going to the Discord. GT75 goes, I know this episode acknowledged that Spencer was dumb for getting kidnapped in the van, but it is even worse when we remember his story. When Lady Raven is talking to Spencer on the phone, he says that his captor asked him to help jumpstart his car battery. When we see the video footage,

Spencer doesn't have a car, the van doesn't have the hood up, and Josh Hartnett is in the cargo bay of the van. How exactly was the situation convincingly presented to Spencer as, hey, my battery is dead, could you give me a hand? Well, GT75, I'm going to give M. Night the benefit of the doubt, because here's what happened, right?

You got the butcher out there on the street with the van. He's like, oh my God, my fucking car. It's not starting. I got to figure out how to get a jump. He calls over Spencer and Spencer's like, what's up? And he's like, ah, can you help me? And Spencer and him are looking at it. He's like, you know what? I'm just going to leave it here tonight. I'll probably get an Uber home. He closes the hood.

And he goes in the back of the, you know, in the van and is getting his, pretending to get his stuff. And he's putting it together. And Spencer's trying to be a nice guy. He's like, hey, buddy, one quick second. Can you look at one thing? And then he gets him and then he pulls him in. So GT-75, it does make sense.

Wow, by the way, great correction on Mission GT-75. Rocket Wesker, what do you got? Well, Lady Raven gives a monologue on stage about the importance of forgiving people and then asks the crowd to raise their hands in agreement. Everyone in the crowd, except for Cooper, raises their hand. This is likely used to show that Cooper can never forgive the person who caused him so much pain and turned him into the butcher, his mother. Ooh, not even, just like,

Wow. Giving me something to think about here. These corrections and omissions better than I thought they would be. Fun facts 47 says, this movie never returned to the fact that Cooper lied about Riley recovering from leukemia so they could get backstage access. Nobody ever congratulated Riley on overcoming her illness, which would have confused her because she had no idea what they were talking about. It would have been really interesting to see how Cooper would have responded when caught in his own lie. Well, I feel like

Everyone acted the right way. Honestly, I think everyone acted the right way. And then once he kidnapped Lady Raven, she's like, oh yeah, this girl doesn't have leukemia. Like, I think at that point you'd have to be like, now the gig is up. I don't think it was spread out around, but I don't know. I don't think I would just like go up to a person if I wasn't told by them that they were recovering and congratulate them on their recovery. Maybe I, I feel like that's a little bit of separation of church and state. I mean, really the only person fooled was, uh,

Did M. Night tell the person backstage? I'm not even sure that he did. I'm not sure that he did. Maybe that girl did say something. I don't remember, but she was great. Let's go to the phones. Katie, what do you got? Hey, Paul. So there was something mentioned in the movie a couple times about how he was always giving his wife jewelry. And I think the first time they mentioned it, it was with Lady Raven in the family room. And they were... It was kind of a way of him being...

being such a good attentive like caring husband like he was always giving her jewelry or he's bringing home gifts and my very first thought was oh he's robbing his dead bodies and bringing the jewelry home to his wife that's disgusting but also like oh that's a great character quirk right like what a weird serial killer thing to do and then they brought it up again and I just

I don't know. I just assumed that that's what it was. He was getting jewelry from the victims that he killed. And then I listened to the episode and then thought about it and was like, no, that's no, that he's way too OCD and he's way too obsessed with details. And that's evidence.

That would be evidence that he'd be bringing home and parading around on his family's body and in his home. And so I thought, that's crazy. That can't be what it is. So then if that's the case, it's just a character trait that he likes to go jewelry shopping for his wife a lot. Anyways, love the show. Thank you, guys. Talk to you soon. Ooh, great point.

Maybe he was using the money to buy jewelry, but no, the movie really makes it very clear he was giving her the jewelry that he found off the people. But he didn't kill women. I think he took money, bought jewelry. That's my reasoning. I'm sticking with it. Katie, great call. Next up, Lee from Ontario. Hey, Paul. I just listened to the trap episode.

And I have a fan theory about Josh Hartnett's character that I think is going to blow your mind because I think it ties two other movie universes together into one big shared universe. So check it out.

I think Josh Hartnett has, like, maybe superpowers in this movie because, I mean, he ate a bunch of poison, didn't kill him. He got tasered by so many people, more than a normal person could take. Plus, he's got to have some sort of superpowers because he pulled a bike spoke off of a bike at the end of the movie with ease, like he was just separating fucking wooden chopsticks. So if you think about Unbreakable and Split, we know people have kind of, like, grounded thoughts

superpowers there, right? And the villains in those movies have nicknames like Mr. Glass, The Horde, and Josh Hartnett's The Butcher. It seems like a no-brainer. That one, it seems, yes, that's true. I've decided. Now, here's the fucking crazy one. What we know about this movie is uncles are very important. Uncles are the best. Uncles, uncles, uncles. So,

In this super-powered killer, Josh Hartnett said that he loves killing people because their eyes go black or dark or something like that. So what other movie franchise has a super-powered serial killer who has the darkest eyes, the devil's eyes? It's Michael Myers, who... is Josh Hartnett's uncle in Halloween H2013.

It's murder runs in the family. I think that he grew up and he changed his name to escape his past. Just like Laurie Strode did in that movie. Holy shit.

They're all connected. I just, I figured you need to hear this theory, not theory. You needed to hear these facts because it's true. I've decided. Anyway, the podcast is amazing. Thank you guys for doing this for so many years. And your book was incredible. I laughed, I cried. I really connected with it. So thank you for writing it. And I hope you all have an amazing day. Lee.

You fucking nailed it. I agree with you completely. Yes. And yes, because I believe there was a title at the front of it was like in the M night universe or some wording that was like putting it. It was like the, the dark, the dark universe. Remember the mummy and that failed thing that universal was going to do. Um, yes, I believe that you are right. Um, I think that you jumped the shark a little bit on the Halloween movie universe, but I like it, but, uh,

To your point, you don't even have to jump the shark and go to Halloween. You can just stay in the split universe. And all of a sudden, you put all these people here. You got a league of villains. This is like when that team of all the bad guys from Spider-Man, the Sinister Six,

We're getting there. We're getting there. I love it. All right. This is from Thomas from the Traveling Museum. All right, Thomas, what do you got? Paul, this is Thomas. There's been a trend in Hollywood lately where there's trailers for movies or commercials that hide the fact that they're musicals and they kind of trick you into thinking it's just a normal movie. Is Trap one of those movies? I don't think so. No, this is not a musical.

A musical is a movie in which song is used to convey feelings and emotions that are in a scene. This is a movie where the music is, what do they call it, diegetic? Like it's organic to the setting. So there's not a musical there.

concert movie? Maybe, but they're only there for 20 minutes. So no, it's not really, it's not a musical. It's not a musical. I'm sorry, Thomas. I would agree with you, but you're wrong. Vin from Columbus, Ohio. What do you got? Hey, Paul. I have a quick correction on the whole uncle thing. In Indian American families and probably other Asian American families,

Families, oftentimes the word, the term uncle is used sort of across the board with any family male friends. So when M. Night was clarifying that he's actually her mother's brother, he was just saying that, yes, I'm an uncle, but I'm actually a family uncle, not like a friend uncle, which is often used interchangeably. Anyway, love the show. Thanks. Bye. Okay. Sure. Okay. I guess. I guess. I guess.

i don't love it but let's go back to the discord for another uh alternative uncle theory sean mcbee writes i think that m knight clarifies that he's lady raven's mother's brother because lady raven pointlessly mentions it on stage that her dad left when she was seven so this uncle wants to make this stranger know that he's related to the good parent well here's my issue and i'm going to go back to vin from columbus

Who cares if he was a family friend? He could call himself uncle. Like we don't need to like, we don't need to know like, oh, I mean, blood is thicker than water. I mean, why are we doing all this? But anyway, you guys were really fascinated by the uncle conversation. I mean, we did make a t-shirt about it, which I love and is available now on TeePublic. Alistair Simp writes, just pointing out that in the movie Old, M. Night also played the little boy's friend's uncle.

didn't acknowledge what side he was on there. So if we're going back to the idea that this is something that is in Indian American culture, then Vin's theory is out the window. But speaking of the movie Old, Portable Jeff said, Paul, since you auditioned to be the hotel guy character in Old, what character would you like to play in Trap? Honestly, I think this movie is brilliantly cast. I love everybody in it. I love the backstage manager. I would have liked to have been the M. Night part. Honestly, I would have liked to have been the M. Night part.

And I would have been like, I'm her uncle. I mean, I really just like a friend of the family, but I, you know, I look out for her or I may have wanted to be with the guy who came out of the stairs. I would like to be like that singer.

That'd be fun. So many great corrections and omissions this week, but we can only pick one. One that is truly amazing. And honestly, I am a little stuck. I'm thinking about where this all goes, but I think the one that really gets me, look, we've said that Spencer's a fucking idiot. We've talked about the leukemia, but I think Katie is

is the one that may have to win because that jewelry thing makes sense, but then it doesn't make any sense. And then it's the whole crux of how the wife found out. So, Katie, you have uncovered the most interesting correction and omission, I think, about Trap. And by the way, everyone was aces this week, but that was above aces. So because of that, you get this amazing song from Ashante Dijon Cooper. Hit it. Win, win.

Thank you, Ashanti, for that song. Check out more music from Ashanti by following her on Instagram at Ashanti. That's A-S-H-A-N-T-I-D-E-J-E-A-N-N-E dot music.

I'm sure I mispronounced it now because I've said it so many times. And remember, if you want to submit your theme song to us, you can email your theme at howdidthisgetmade at earwolf.com.

Okay, coming up after the break, Jason will stop by to answer some Halloween-themed questions that you sent us.

for this Halloween episode. Ooh, spooky. But first, take a listen to this bonus deleted scene from our Trap Live show where we talk about the asthma inhalers in the film. Anyway, but Lady Raven is not afraid to take a moment and acknowledge a person's existence. Okay, I like that. But in my mind, I was like, oh, they only had the stadium for a certain amount of time, like big, big shots. And they just, this poor actor fell and they were like, we got to keep it.

That's the one we got. No, I think it is. I think June's right. But what makes it tricky is that's the moment where he looks at her and goes, you think you're whole. No, honey, no, no, no. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. We'll be quiet. You guys work this out. No, no, no.

The moment he's referencing is seeing her with her inhaler. Because if you have asthma, as I do, you're not a whole person. Oh, no. Well, but you're a person in pieces. Oh, no, because I'm taking a steroid pill every day to control this breathing. Wait, wait, wait. But if she's using the inhaler, then she knows she's not whole. Then you could just steal the inhaler.

This is the thing. Why doesn't that come back? They make such a thing to foreground it and be like, look at her weakness. I think there was a world in which they shot it and didn't use it in the third movie that was a part of this movie. I do have that deleted scene and it does not come up in that scene.

I appreciated the inhaler though because I feel like there was a time in the late 90s or maybe it was earlier. Oh, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. No. The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. There was a lot of movies where asthma, not having an inhaler was the thing. It was the stakes of the third act. And I... Very Three Ninjas. Yeah. I miss it. I miss it.

All right. So Halloween is around the corner and we decided to go to you, our discord community for some Halloween themed questions. So Scott, what do we got? Hey, Paul and Jason, this is Brett from Los Angeles.

My question is, what was your first scary movie you remember watching as a kid? Like it stuck with you. For me, I remember, it's not really a scary movie, but it has scary parts, was Big Trouble in Little China, which I know you guys did an episode on for Blank Check. So tell me what's your favorites, what sticks with you since you were a kid. Thanks again.

That's an interesting question. You know, I wasn't really a horror movie person when I was a kid. Horror scared me. Oh, same, same. So much so that I'm not a horror person as an adult. I would say the times that were where I was exposed to scary movies were accidentally. Like, I remember being a little kid, little, I mean, not a little kid, but like a young kid and seeing...

Some like I seen like 20 minutes of a Friday the 13th, I think, is that Camp Crystal Lake? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I saw 10 to 15 minutes of that on TV and was like horrified.

The scene in Poltergeist where the guy looks in the mirror and his face melts off of his skull. Terrifying. Like there are certain moments in certain things that I saw when I was I'm going to say like nine, 10, 11 years old. I saw The Exorcist and I saw A Clockwork Orange. And both of those movies like truly rocked me. Yeah.

Like what's so scary about those movies? I think like sometimes for me anyway, like I'm coming in like not having seen anything. And I remember seeing Freddie's face. Cause I think when we were growing up, it was Freddie and Jason were really like,

Those are the main people at the box office. Those are the scary people. Yeah. Jason and Michael Myers. Oh, yes. Michael Myers, yes. Because I'm a little older, so Freddie didn't come along until I was a little older. Okay. And Freddie had a little bit more camp to him. Right. But Jason and Michael Myers were these stoic and leather face, were these just murder machines. Right.

It's like, you know, I, so I really did avoid it. I think the ones that I liked were the ones that I found myself like gravitating towards psycho, like psycho was something I could handle. And I was like, okay, psycho and jaws were like, I felt like, okay, I can, I can hang on something that is scary, but I could actually tolerate it. And I felt like that was the safe space. I also loved,

I loved the movie, like the omen, you know, I, cause I was like, Ooh, this is an incredible story. You know, the exorcist I love. I remember loving and in high school, like the omen, the exorcist, those are the movies that I, the horror movies that I would go back to. Cause I thought that, I mean, they're amazing movies versus the, I, you know, it wasn't until way later in life that like,

the, the nightmare in Elm streets or the, the, the fun to watch with a group. Yes. You know, uh, rent. Cause it was always for me and I'm sure for you too, it was about renting a movie where you would watch with a group of kids in a basement, you know, and you'd watch motel hell or you'd watch these crazy eighties, you know, gonzo slasher, you know, I spit on your grave kind of crazy movies, you know? Well, like, I think that like,

I was lucky because by the time I was like getting out of high school or yeah, like in that zone, scream came out and scream kind of started to deconstruct everything. So then I got into like the meta version of it, where it's like the faculty and all these other fun. It like, there was a, an era of, uh,

We understand horror movies and we're having fun like with them. But I got to tell you, I got freaked the fuck out by a horror movie recently. Not even recently within the last couple of years. As an adult. Was it Megan? Was it Megan? I was so scared of that robot. She dances so crazy. Hereditary fucked me up.

Like it fucked me up. Like I, and I haven't been like, and that's a weird feeling as an adult with children to feel like, oh, I'm scared of a movie. Oh yeah. Yeah.

No, he does such a good job, Ari Aster, of getting under your skin. It's, he's really exceptional. Oh God. Like it got me. I remember I was watching an airplane and then I was staying in a hotel in North Carolina by myself and was frightened. And there's no reason to be frightened. There's nothing like, but it's like, I was.

I'm scared. I didn't, I haven't felt that way in such a long time. Ooh. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. But I don't consume a ton of that content, you know, like I've never seen an, an Annabeth movie, Annabeth or Annabelle. Annabelle. Yeah. I've never seen a conjuring movie. I've never seen a purge. Yeah. Oh, I'm sure they're a blast, but I don't ever, those aren't movies that I'm like, oh, I got to watch. Although I got to watch the substance, you know, I'm excited to watch the substance. I'm excited to see smile too.

Okay. I didn't see Smile 1. I've never seen a Terrifier. Oh, I don't want to. Terrifier, to me, is exactly what I don't want to see. I've never seen a Saw. I've never seen a Hostel. Those are the ones that I don't love as much. I'm like, give me the Evil Dead. Give me the Others, whatever. I'm more in that vein of like... Wait, was the Others the Nicole Kidman one? Yes. Great. Love that movie. Love that movie.

Yeah, I don't want to see anybody's body getting flayed. That's not fun for me. I take no joy in a human centipede or any of that kind of stuff. Yeah, I can't do it. I just can't do it. All right. What else we got, Scott? All right. I have a very important question from Emily Aaron 10 who wants to know,

Fuck, marry, kill. Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, or Michael Myers? Wow. Really hard. I think I'm going to marry Freddy just because if I'm going to spend my life with him, he's at least a conversationalist. He's funny as hell. Yeah. You know, I mean, he's got the jokes. I agree with that. I'm on the same page there. Ah.

Um, and then, but I mean, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are so similar to me. And I spent quite a lot of my life because I wasn't super familiar with either of their mythologies, just conflating the two of them. Yeah. Um,

so I mean, I guess, you know, who wears the hockey mask? That's Jason. Jason wears the hockey mask. So I guess I'll fuck him. Cause that's just two Jason's right. And that's going to be, that's, that's powerful. That's very powerful to fuck someone with your, to fuck someone with your own name. That's like, that's your name squared. Yeah.

You gotta do that. Yeah, that's like... If you have that chance, do that. There's power in that. And so then I guess I'm... So I'm fucking Jason Voorhees and I am killing... Although he, I believe, is unkillable, Michael Myers. Yeah, I'm with you on the Freddy because, you know, like we said, he's fun. And then I have to look at

You know, what I think about Jason is there, like I've seen Jason movies where he's all made a, like a bugs and a lizards and all. I don't need all that. Like Mike Myers is just a disturbed kid, right? He's, he's grown up. He's just Austin powers. Wait, am I doing the wrong Michael Myers? Oh no. Now we have done it. All right. So that, yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to kill a Voorhees. I'm going to, I'm going to fuck Michael Myers and that, you know, that's it with the mask off.

Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. And this is a real conversation topic. When did fuck, marry, kill become the totemic question to ask for everything? In every scenario now, we are asked...

from the audience, from this audience, all the time, fuck, marry, kill. I'd say every time you pull questions, Scott, there's at least one to seven fuck, marry, kills in there. When did this happen? This is like a weird thing, and I know that they've changed it, right? Like, there's like a new way to do fuck, marry, kill. Oh. Because it's a little, I mean, if you think about it. Oh, let me guess, it's woke? Let me guess, the woke police came for fuck, marry, kill. Eh.

Like it is a crazy, even like, cause that was to me as a child, you're like, okay, I get it. I get the premise of it, but it is like when you take it down at a level, you're like, wow.

killing so i'm killing someone because originally when it was only when it was positioned to you or at least when it's positioned to me it was always like women like beautiful women it wasn't like i wasn't like a uh it wasn't like freddie or jason i have no problem uh killing freddie or jason i don't know you know sure sure but when it's like fuck marry kill the original charlie's angels you're like whoa whoa whoa yeah i gotta get in here don't do kate jackson like that

Oh my God. Yeah. That really has become like, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's like, it's now I think passed through cultural relevance and is now I believe annoying. Like I would be happy to never answer a fuck Mary kill for the rest of my life. Well, I mean, I agree with you too. I don't fully get it. Uh, I like this one that, uh, somebody started called, uh, make out Mary and move on. Pfft.

Fuck, marry, kill. All right. What else we got? All right. Fuck, marry, kill. Sorry. All right. Joseph Wernon wants to know corn mazes for or against. Seems fine. Seems harmless. Here's what I'll say. I've never been in a corn maze.

Wow. I don't think, I don't think I've ever been in a corn maze. You know, I don't think I've actually, well, yes, I have been in a corn maze. I was in a corn maze, uh, last Halloween. Uh, there's a big one out here in LA where they have like a pumpkin patch and it's big, uh, big fun, uh, uh, corn maze. Here's the thing. It's just a maze made out of, uh, you know, uh, there's nothing to it. You like a maze. You don't like a maze. Uh, we did have a human giant sketch called corn maze, which I, uh, it's still one of my favorite ones where, um,

Rob is breaking up with a girl and then he and and then sends her into the corn maze where she's forever lost. And and it pulls out and you see all these women just lost in a corn maze of his own design where he's kept them forever. So I think corn mazes are something that like if you didn't do as a kid, you know, it's strange to go to as a childless adult.

Yeah, you can't go to a corn maze for fun. I can't be wandering around a corn maze asking kids, like, how do I get out of here? Hey, you want to come explore this path with me? The thing about corn mazes, too, is it's farm-based, right? They can just cut through it. And I'm looking right here. I just typed in corn maze on Google. There are so many corn mazes near us, Jason. Oh, Jesus. Like a ridiculous amount of corn mazes. No thanks.

But corn mazes in the dark, I've done that. That's scary. Okay. I can see that. Sure. Yeah. I mean, any maze in the dark is scary, I guess. All right. What else we got? Rebecca Johnson. Hang on a second. Scott, shut the fuck up. Paul, will you Google what's the biggest corn maze? Okay.

I'm so curious just because I'm like, wouldn't it be cool if you entered a corn maze that you were guaranteed it was going to take the whole day to get out? Okay. The largest corn maze is Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove, Illinois. The map is made up of four smaller mazes and has nine to 10 miles of trails.

It has multiple checkpoints, three bridges, a perimeter path, and no dead ends. Uh, it's, uh, and basically, uh, it will rent out and has a theme. So in 2023, the maze celebrated 30 years of Jurassic park and featured scenes from the film. And, uh, yeah. So other large maze, uh, other one, if you want to go closer to California, uh, cool patch pumpkins is a 63 acre maze that has a CPP.

Yeah, CPP. They know what's up. And Cool Patch Pumpkins has won the Guinness World Record twice for the world's largest corn maze. I do think it would be interesting to go into a corn maze that you needed to bring like food and water because you knew it was going to just take. It's a corn maze that's on like six acres of land. Yeah. I would be intrigued by that.

Um, this year is by the way, uh, I told you that one has a theme every year, the Jurassic park one this year, the theme is, uh, John Deere tractors. And I got to tell you, Jason, I'm looking, I'm looking at the over, let me just, I'm going to share my screen for one second with you. Cause this is the corn maze. The, the one I just told you about. Oh, wow. Isn't that crazy? Holy cow. Oh, that's cool. See, that's, that is interesting to me. I will say that is, uh, what we're looking at is a, uh,

a giant-ass corn maze that has... Is this what it actually is? Yes. Or is this a rendering? No, this is what it is. That's it? Yeah. Wow. Okay, that's pretty cool. People should look at that. Yeah, just look at the Richardson Adventure Farm. But it's basically...

it's like a carved out painting of like, there's a picture of John Deere. Here's what I'll say. How is there not a Blumhouse movie that's just set in a corn? How has there not been a children of the corn maze movie? I think as corn mazes at a certain point, they run out of steam. The Hubie Halloween. Uh, okay. I didn't see Hubie Halloween. You should. I think it's pretty fun. I'll watch it. Sure. Um, uh, it seems too scary.

All right. What else we got? All right. Got this question from a lot of people, but Vintage from the Mitten wants to know, what was each of yours favorite Halloween costume as a child? Well, I can tell you this. I am realizing my son has this problem, too. I wanted to dress up and really trick people that I was this other thing.

And no matter what I got, I was like, well, I'm not, I don't look exactly like this other thing. And I would get kind of paralyzed by it. So the one year in particular that I remember was,

I've had some cool costumes at Indiana Jones. I had a ninja, but this is the costume that I remember the most because it paralyzed me the most. I was Jack Nicholson's Joker from Batman. Whoa. And I got a mask, a Joker mask. Not, I didn't paint my face. I had the Joker mask and I was dressed in a purple tuxedo or, you know, whatever the suit and I would go around.

And because of my voice, couldn't sound like Jack Nicholson's. Now I'm about to tell you the creepiest thing of all time. I would just go up to people's houses and just hold my bag out, but not say a word because I was worried. Couldn't be voice accurate. Yes. And so people would like, so, and the mask was a little bit bigger on my head. So I did look like a Mike Myers just standing there like, Oh, and who are you? Silent. Yeah.

Well, okay. And who, and where, which house were you from? Silent. Like I was creeping people the fuck out. And yeah, that was the one that I remember. I was like, Oh, I may, I may have messed up on that one. My mom made me two.

incredible costumes that were, I would say most of, I would say these two costumes were the, to me then and for the rest of my life were like the most iconic Halloween costumes I had. One of which was Darth Vader and,

And one of which was a storm trooper. And they were both, my mom made them and they were super like detailed and incredible. And the storm trooper, I think I wore like two years in a row. Well, now what kind of, what kind of shielding are you wearing there for storm troopers? What do you got? Like what's your, so she would, she would get like the, the off the rack thing so that it had the mask on.

Okay. And I think a chest plate. Okay. And then my mom made all of these arm guards and leg guards and all of the, all of the white armor was, it was like, you know, she sewed a whole like white armor set.

each piece was, I'll bet. I'm certain there's somewhere a picture of it that I will find and, and I'll try and put it up or something. I want to see that thing. But, um, they were, it was incredible and they were, all I wanted was to access star Wars. Um, and then later in life for most of my, like, I'd say thirties, um,

Every year I dressed as Princess Leia with the wig, the buns wig and the long flowing dress, except with my full beard. And so I did that for, I mean, for probably 10 years in the early 2000s, I was Princess Leia. All right. So you'll be happy to know that this year, my youngest son is going as Boba Fett.

And we've been working on his costume. And I am very happy because what you just described is what I'm doing. I got him the base costume, which is kind of like a big pajama. But then I got him gray pants. I got him some like things for his knees. I got him like things for his arm. I got him a sack. He is awesome.

Ready to go. I've been so psyched about this costume, but he is all... I told you, we've been talking about Star Wars a bunch. I've been watching a lot of Star Wars with him. He's now getting into the Clone Wars. I was just going to say, are you watching the episodes of Clone Wars where he's a kid? Yes. Where Boba Fett is your son's age. Yes. We started to... We watched the one where Boba Fett does that, like a heist mission. Yes. Yes, right. And so I've been...

You know, look, he wants to watch so much. I mean, I spent the weekend drawing Cad Bane pictures with him. You know, so he's all over the map because the Star Wars, the Star Wars Legos game has brought him in so many different directions. So we're finding things and he's really enjoying them. So Cad Bane, one of my all-time favorite. I like started, I jumped up and started yelling and screaming when Cad Bane appeared in live action Star Wars in The Mandalorian.

That was so good. I love it. All right, what else we got, Scott? Okay, Kevin Langley 3 sent in a Halloween movie hot take to get your comment on. He says, the Halloween movies are basically...

the Fast and Furious franchise of the horror genre. Okay, well, is that all he says? That's it? I can't speak knowledgeably about this, but didn't we do one where they were in space? You know, I think flawed premise because he's making us do the work

Flawed premise. No. Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say. Here's next thing to retire after fuck, marry, kill hot people's hot takes. I'm not interested in other people's hot takes. I got to take the fall on this one because when I put out the call, I said, feel free to send in your hot takes. All right. Well, Scott, then you fucking fucked us, Scott. Here's the other thing I want to put with hot takes being banned. Shoot your shot.

People say, shoot your shot. I'm done with shoot your shot. Shoot your shot doesn't mean just do something stupid. Shoot your shot. I had to go up to her and I had to go up to Kylie Jenner and fucking ask her to marry me and shoot my shot. It's not going to work. Here's my thing. Shoot your shot on a basketball court. Don't shoot your shot in the parking lot at a Ralph's. I feel like in the sense of...

A basketball will potentially go in the hoop if you're on a basketball court, but people are now saying, I got to shoot my shots. Like, you know, we're near, this will never, you're not in the game. You're not even in the game. Don't shoot a shot. You're not in the game. I hate to shoot the shot. It's I hate shooting the shot. I hate a hot take.

All of these things are not conversation starters. They're conversation enders. I'm just like, I'm out. And here's the thing, I guess is what this person wants us to say is like, well, Halloween started off as a very simple franchise and then it's grown into crazy things. But the truth is it hasn't grown that much. It,

I mean, yes, there's like that season of the witch, which is an outlier. And then there's like, but it's always fucking strode. And it's, it's, it's the same fucking thing. And the David Gordon green version, same fucking thing. It's it's no, it's not. Yeah. I don't think it's that either. And so I think your hot take is in fact, Michael Langley three cold as ice.

Oh, you know what? Did I remember his name right? I deleted him from the screen already. Wow. You know what I wanted? Okay, well, let me see. I have one thing here. I just want to see if... You know what, people? While you're looking it up, I'll say it's spooky season, so people should be watching one of my favorite TV shows, Evil. The King's show, Evil, which is on...

Paramount Plus, I believe, or Peacock. I can't remember whichever one. It's Paramount. It's got to be Paramount. Oh, yeah. Fantastic show. That's a great show. Love it. But also, I want to really recommend the reboot of Scare Tactics, which is now back out on the air. Really? I love Scare Tactics. Yes. I know. You were maybe the first person who I ever heard about Scare Tactics from back in the day. So Scare Tactics sold, or they at least transitioned the rights to Jordan Peele.

Oh, funny. Yes. And Elon Gale, who is behind Fuckboy Island and The Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor franchise. Elon, movie producer and everything. So these two have teamed up. It's great. It's great. Oh, that's great. I like that. Speaking of Jordan Peele, I did this the other day. I want to see where you fall on this. Jordan Peele was on The Tonight Show and he ranked his top six horror films

I'll give it to you and tell you, I know you're not into horror, but these, I think transcend, right? They transcend. Well, number six saw, which by the way, I have to say, I saw saw recently. I seen saw and, uh, it was way better than I thought. I seen saw. I seen saw. And, uh, Carrie Elway is great. It's, it's a, it's much more of a thriller fun. So he says, yeah, it's not like it's, um, it's less crazy than you think. It's good. Um, saws is number six. His number five.

Is Get Out, his own movie, which honestly, I got to say, I don't disagree. Oh, I agree. Yeah. Number four, The Shining. Home run. Great one. Number three, Psycho. Yeah. Great. Number two, The Exorcist.

Great. And his number one, Nightmare on Elm Street. Great. I think that's a great list. I think that's a fantastic list. Saw is the only one I haven't seen. The rest of those I've seen multiple times. You know, The Exorcist, The Shining, I think incredible. These are all also like auteur driven horror movies. By the way, I have to say, when you watch Nightmare on Elm Street, the first one, it's

way better than what it's become. I mean, that's the other thing too. These things start to become these other things. I would just, the only thing I would put in there is the omen just because I thought I love the omen. And oh, and also, I'm sorry. Also for me, I think because it was so part of the, like I said earlier, the period of time when you rented scary movies and watch them with people was Rosemary's Baby.

It was like a guaranteed, like a spooky, scary, you were gonna watch that movie and then make out, you know, that was, that was what that was all about. Um, all right. Is that all we got, Scott? We could do one more. One more. All right, guys, let's do it. Todd Van Meter wants to know, have either of you left a place because you felt a weird presence or something felt off? I can answer this one that,

That I, that will implicate me more than anything. I, it was my anniversary with June and I decided I tried to find a fun place that we could go like a little like staycation. We just had kids or just had a kid. And it was like, we didn't want to be a warrior for that long, but we were like, let's just go take a night. I did some research and I found this, like, I thought very cute, quaint boutique hotel.

When June stepped inside because of my penchant for all things immersive and haunted houses and all these sort of gatherings, June thought that I was walking her into a immersive hotel and refused to believe me that it was not like she was not part of a, uh, some, uh, this wasn't a ruse and, and, and would like,

entered into the room with such hesitation and was like nope i nope nope and then was like we gotta go i don't believe you and we gotta go and so june left because she thought i was bringing her into some sort of like overnight haunted house we went to another hotel down the road

Oh, you did in fact leave. Oh, that's so funny. She refused to believe you. Refused to believe me. Oh, that's incredible. And then she was like, well, I got a bad feeling from this place. It is bad. And it was, this is like what, it was a really nice hotel. The guy actually refunded my money because he thought it was, he was like, I don't even know what happened here. Oh, that's so funny. I love that.

That's great. And to answer the question, no, I never have. I've never had that sense, that feeling. I've been in places where people have come, like a hotel in New York that I used to go to a lot, that I had multiple people who came to my room be like, oh, I don't like this room. I don't like this place. This place gives me bad vibes. And then there was like a lot of noise coming from the room above us.

And then, uh, then realized that that room was not, there was no room above us. It was just the, um, the, the, like the attic and the roof. Um, but I just never, I'm not, I don't know. I did. I'm not on, uh, in tune with that frequency. Um, I never experienced it, but like friends of mine who like were there were like this place, you shouldn't stay here. This place is creepy. Yeah.

Oh, wow. But you didn't feel it. If you didn't feel it, then I just didn't. I don't know. I like it. I do think it's like a I do think it's a frequency you're either in tune to or not. You know, I agree with that. I think that like I'm open to things, but I'm also not getting visitations all the time. Yeah.

And that's the way we end it. All right. Happy Halloween. Happy spooky season, everybody. And if you are dressing up as a character from one of our movies, send us a picture. Oh, yeah. By the way, send us a picture. Send us pictures of your how did this get made?

costume inspiration, whether that is from one of the movies we've covered or a joke that we've made or whether it's us that you're dressed as, whatever it is, send us those pictures. One of my favorite things of all time was our Halloween tour last year where we were able to kind of... It was so great. Yeah, I loved it. It was really, really fun. All right, so send us those pics. We'll see you next time. Bye for now.

All right. Thank you, Jason. And thank you to everyone who wrote in with a question. Thank you, Scott, for putting that all together. But now it is finally time to announce our next film. Next week, we'll be going from a serial killer who's big to a serial killer who wears wigs. That's right. Not really a rhyme. A serial killer who's big to a serial killer who wears wigs. It doesn't really work, but I'm trying. That's right. Next episode, we'll be watching the 1999 thriller

of The Beholder starring Ewan McGregor, Ashley Judd, and Jason Priestley. Yep. Uh,

Here's a breakdown of Eye of the Beholder's plot. A private eye shadows a female serial killer of men all over the USA as he occasionally acts as her guardian angel. And by the way, that is a bad breakdown of the film. Rotten Tomatoes gives us a 9% score on the tomato meter. And Jay Carr from the Boston Globe writes, Eye of the Beholder is yet another example of how bad movies can happen to good people. And that is true. I mean,

A lot of good people in this movie. A lot of good people in this movie. And this movie is a slog. Anyway, listen to the trailer for Eye of the Beholder. There are people we should never watch. There are moments we should never see. And there are obsessions we should never follow. What did I say? She went north about a half hour ago. Joylo!

Ewan McGregor, Ashley Judd. Eye of the Beholder. What are you doing? Don't do this to me.
