    Midsommar (2019)

    Well obviously the Swedish friend was from the community! He was explaining all the circumstances. He said it like a million times. That makes it seem like I didn't actually watch the movie. I'm positing a theory. I think the main girl was one of many women put out into the society at a very young age only to be brought back for the ritual. Like some kind of reverse rumspringa. I don't think there's anyway she could speak the language that fluently after like six days. She also bought into the system too fast. Maybe the drugs are an explanation, but I like my theory better. I also don't think her "sister" killed herself. I think the community did that to disorient her and create the right circumstances for her to be Queen of Summer or whatever it was. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying I think that makes it more interesting.
  2. I was at the show and my friend and I felt there was one major omission. When Tommy and Megan knock on the Sheriff's Door, HE SHOOTS THROUGH THE DOOR WITHOUT WARNING! Unless we are both remembering wrong, the Sheriff is unaware of Jason as a threat. Which means that is just how he answers the door. How many doors does that Sheriff go through in a year? I just did the math on an inflation website. The average door today costs between 75 and 125 bucks. That would be between $33.53 and $55.89. If his door is shot out everyday, he's out between $12,000 and $20,000 a year. I laughed so hard at that and was shocked it didn't come up. Even if Jason had been a threat, you still want to make sure it isn't your daughter, who stops by frequently. Also, I didn't catch this at the live show, but Paul said if they had focused on the whacky kids more, it would have been like Salute Your Shorts with a killer. Salute Your Shorts DID have an episode with a murderer. His name was Zeke the Plumber. I don't remember the legend behind him; but he's like a combo of Freddie and Jason. He has a creepy mask, but makes wisecracks and I think visits the campers in his dreams. Correct me if I'm wrong fellow SOS fans.
  3. Rubber (2010) might be too good of a movie for the show but it definitely has a lot to talk about as a tire explodes people who get in its way.

    Midsommar (2019)

    I agree. I don't think this movie is bad enough to do on the podcast, but it's definitely just a ripoff of movies like The Wicker Man. I think there's actually a lot of interesting things to discuss (the girlfriend character was from this community, right? That's why she speaks Swedish at the end?) But, I felt the same way about hereditary. I laughed my ass off when the head flew off. I did get scared by the end, but I was also like, "isn't this just Rosemary's baby, with a slightly older child and more willing adult?"

    Event Horizon (1997)

    I wonder if it's popular in Italian cinema because of that Saint (can't remember which one. Lucy? Cecilia?) who rips her eyes out so she'll never have to get married? Freaked me out badly. Glad I'm not the only one. I LOVE does the dog die so that I am at least prepared for the death of a dog, but I didn't know they could prepare me for this kind of thing. Thanks! Sorry it took me three months to acknowledge this.
  6. I know it is too late to reply to this topic and get it on air, but did anyone else consider the "Voice" is a member of the Trump Family? The name of the disease they picked to wipe out everyone they don't like (including brown people from Samoa) is SNOWFLAKE?! In the movie, Statham and the Rock represent the "Hollywood, liberal" elite of the CIA (the deep state?) who would be happy to see the Trump presidency go down! I really won't try to make this political, but what if the Rock is trying to mount a Republican primary challenge, and he's starting with this movie?! (). Could be right? Particularly when you consider that Hobbes and Locke (Rock and Ryan Reynolds) are the names of the two philosophers who developed the Social Contact, which says that if the government is not protecting your rights, you as the people have the right to alter or abolish it...

    Episode 224: Starcrash: LIVE!

    FYI I laughed really hard at the idea of Space Jean Valjean. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think the connection is to Guardians of the Galaxy, I think Starcrash is a prequel to The Greatest American Hero. School Teacher, Ralph Hinkley (later changed to Hanley because of John Hinkley Jr.'s attempt on Ronald Reagan's life) gets a red and black suit with a crazy amount of powers. But he doesn't have the manual so he doesn't know every power. Still, check out the link that allegedly attached. Mr. H bears a striking resemblance to Acton/Akron or whatever his name is. Both are curly-haired blondes in red and black costumes. I think the aliens who come down in the pilot of Greatest American Hero were inspired by Acton's unlimited powers and gave Mr. H the suit so he could do more good on earth. I'm also pretty sure Stephen J. Cannell was watching Starcrash when he got the idea for one of the most out there American TV shows of the last 40 years. Also, am I the only one who thinks George Lucas was like, "you know what, there was not enough skin in Star Wars. We're almost done with Empire, but when we get to Return of the Jedi I'm going gold bikini over black. Instead of taking a gorgeous woman and making her look like she's wearing a diaper, we're going to take a gorgeous woman and make her look great. It'll be Halloween costume for years to come." Who knows? Pics of Greatest American Hero

    Mad Max Trilogy

    Too good. Doesn't belong on this podcast. Well, at least Mad Max and The Road Warrior. Beyond Thunderdome is up for grabs.

    John Carter (2012)

    Totally agree. A solid movie that most people never saw. It isn't The Godfather, but it isn't terrible either.

    Home Alone (1990)

    Disagree. One of the best movies of all time.

    Godspell (1973)

    I agree Godspell is embarrassingly stupid, but I think people like the music.
  12. OOH! Great choice! Care-a-lot! We care a lot!
  13. Yup! Needs to be done. Jason even alludes to it in one of the episodes. I can't remember which one, but he says something about "Give my brother back his bike" but can't remember the movie. I love it, and the theme song kicks ass, but it's totally ridiculous.

    BASEketball (1998)

    Huh. I think it totally holds up. Super dumb, but funny.

    Event Horizon (1997)

    Disagree with OP. I think this movie is really scary. However, I have a real problem with (SPOILER ALERT) someone ripping out their own eyes. I couldn't sleep for a few days when this came out. I think I was 14 or 15.
