The Low-Budget Gumption of Shudder’s Goody Goody | SVU

0:05 A couple and their midwife settle in for a cozy home birth in a remote home deep in the woods. And then all hell breaks loose. Literally, it's Goody Goody on Shudder. I'm Matt Sinker.

0:20 And I'm Jordan Hoffman. With more movies, more series, more stuff going straight to streaming than ever before. I feel like the right time for a podcast that keeps track of it all, and that podcast is Film Spotting SVU. This week, we've got a review of Goody Goody, plus some related streaming recommendations. Pregnancy movies? Pregnant with Hellspawn movies?

0:44 We're going to find out. Plus, we'll also tell you about this week's new to VOD and streaming titles and a new game. Who's the Games Master this week?

0:55 You didn't get the memo? You were supposed to do it.

0:57 It better not be me because I didn't prepare anything.

0:59 It's me.

0:59 Okay, good.

1:00 Games this week. It's all coming up. Matt, where is it all coming up?

1:04 On FilmSpotting SVU. Welcome to Film Spotting SVU, I'm Matt Singer. Later in the show, we'll get to the rec seg, the recommendation segment, of course, with streaming recommendations inspired by this week's review. Plus, we've got a listener request, where we have listeners write in, ask us for something they can stream at home. And this time, we have a very interesting request. It is a request for an entry-level horror movie for kids. Hmm. What would we recommend?

1:41 We are official. This is the first episode in Spooktober. I mean, we are in spooky season officially. Yep, yep. Goody Goody's a scary movie. This listener, Rex Egg, is a scary movie.

1:53 We're going to be so scared.

1:54 I'm talking to Jordan.

1:55 That's always scary for me. I don't know what's going to come out of his mouth.

2:00 We're going to be seeing ghosts any minute. It's a very, very scary time here. Sam, maybe there's some scary music you can play in the background during this.

2:09 Scary version of the bazooka theme.

2:11 Of course. Bazooka.

2:19 It's the ghost of old home video formats. We're haunted by old Betamax tapes.

2:31 I recorded this on VHS on... What were they called? It was like SP or EP. People who are under the age of 30 have no idea what we're talking about.

2:42 Every time you tape something off a TV, you had a choice to make. Do you record it on SP, which meant that it would be better quality, but you'd only get two hours of tape?

2:53 Right.

2:53 Or on EP, and I may have the two reversed. EP, you'd get eight hours of tape. Eight hours for one tape.

2:58 Was it eight or was it six?

2:59 I think it might have been six.

3:00 It depended on the tape. Okay.

3:01 Maybe six. But it would be crappier.

3:03 Right.

3:04 It would look even worse than VHS already looked, but you could cram more stuff onto the tape.

3:10 Exactly.

3:10 And this was a calculation. And I don't think anybody ever recorded anything in the two-hour format, right? You always went for that. Because the tapes were expensive.

3:19 It's so funny you should say that, because now I'm remembering that when we used to do, and many families in the 80s did this, it was like, oh, we're going to tape this one off of the ABC movie of the week.

3:29 That's right.

3:30 And we would have these, we had a little mini library of all these cool movies we had. And you could cram three on a tape because it would be eight hours or six hours or whatever it is. But I remember like once in a blue moon, my dad would be like, oh, I love this movie. It's one of the greatest. You know, Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart.

3:47 You know what?

3:48 Tonight, honey, we're recording on the SP.

3:52 And we'd be like, what? Put the kids to bed, honey. We're watching an SP movie tonight.

3:58 It was like, what? Oh, my God. An SP. It must be serious. This is exciting.

4:04 Your mom is fanning herself?

4:06 Exactly.

4:10 Well, Gen X knows what I'm talking about. This is honest to God's truth.

4:14 SSP, Standard Play, EP, Extended Play, also called SLP. So we got it right.

4:20 Super long play.

4:21 You got it.

4:21 Standard Play and Extended Play.

4:24 Yeah. Well, there you go.

4:26 All right.

4:26 Well, listen. So the good news is that the first thing we're going to talk about is Goody Goody. Let's hear that trailer.

4:33 The moment we met, I knew that you were my midwife.

4:38 And I would love nothing more than to fill that role for you.

4:41 But I say this with no disrespect.

4:44 Don't have a home birth in the woods.

4:46 Fair enough. Goody, goody. More like gory, gory. Like I said, talking to Jordan can be really scary.

4:59 Actually, this low-budget, no-big-stars horror picture debuting on Shudder isn't that gory, all things considered. But it's still gross. Grossy-grossy. And unnerving. Unnervy Unnervy is set in the proverbial cabin in the woods, where a couple have elected to have a home birth. The mom-to-be, named Goody, is played by Samantha Robinson, and the supportive husband is Jason, played by Colby Holman. Also in the mix is Jason's sister Candace, played by Zoe Renee, who is a doula. But running the show is Sarah, played by Colleen Foy, who is an actual midwife with a degree of medical training. She's at least wearing scrubs or clothes that kind of look like scrubs. As we'll learn during some flashbacks, Sarah did

5:49 not think this particular location, cabin in the woods in deep winter, was a very good idea. She only agrees to do it because Goody admits that she was going to go ahead and do it anyhow, so Sarah feels like she may as well be there to make sure everything goes okay. Which it does not.

6:05 Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert.

6:08 Well, there'd be no movie on Shudder if it all went well. Now, even though Goody and Jason are loving and it is natural to be on the side of a woman who's giving birth, writer-director Raymond Creamer does a sly job at letting us realize that these people are pains in the ass a little bit, Goody and Jason.

6:26 For example, they only have loose leaf tea. No tea bags for them. Could you imagine? Okay. So things quickly go bad, and then they go weird. I'm not going to spoil too much. Suffice to say that this movie, even at 80 minutes, is something of a slow burn. Any horror movie involving pregnancy is going to be a, quote, body horror because, I mean, have you seen how babies are born?

6:49 Actual pregnancy is body horror. Yeah.

6:52 You figured by now they come up with an easier solution. I mean, can't Claude work on this to come up with something? Because, you know, babies are yay big and the thing they come out of is not as big. Design flaw. Anyway, so Goody Goody, it's very much a first film. Mr. Creamer clearly didn't have a big budget, so he struts his stuff with interesting lighting and wild editing and more vibes than story. Some might even ask, what story? But when you get to the finish line, there is some kind of payoff, which I am eager to discuss. But first, I must ask Matt Singer, this movie, any goody? I don't... God.

7:35 I thought it was... OK, I felt like I was watching a really good idea for a 20 minute short that had been stretched out to 80 minutes. The premise is solid. You know, Rosemary's Baby as a as a home birth gone terribly wrong.

7:54 That's a movie.

7:55 Absolutely. But I don't know if it was that, you know, this, as you said, the movie clearly was made on a budget. It has like literally four people in it. And it's one location. And I sort of admire the low-budget gumption of it all. I appreciate that you have someone making something clearly on a limited scale. And I sort of love that Shudder, the horror streaming service that we've mentioned but maybe haven't explained for people who don't know what Shudder is, I love that Shudder exists and I love that they back these little movies. I think that is fabulous.

8:32 The thing is about our streaming ecosystem that we review here on Film Spotting as View. We're used to things. They have to be either 20 minutes, 22 minutes or 44 minutes or an hour. And then it's a TV show. Or if it's a movie, it's got to be 80, 90 minutes. This, I think, would have been better as like a one off. Maybe it could have been a little longer, but like 45 minutes. I just didn't I did not think that they had enough material here. for a full feature-length movie maybe maybe that was some maybe it could have been a feature-length movie with a slightly different script or more locations more new.

9:09 Character new character more locations i mean they do they do flash back to like the doctor's office but like you could they probably just.

9:16 They could have filmed that in a different room of the house where the whole movie is set yeah.

9:20 I believe they probably did they had this cabin for x amount of days And, um, you know, this is the guy's first feature film. He's done a few shorts and it is impressive. It's like I said, it's 80 minutes, including credits. So it's really 76 minutes or whatever. And, um, it's a simple story, you know, pregnancy gone wrong, a little bit of clever stuff. When the, the turn that I mentioned, when you realize that the main character goody goody is kind of a pain in the ass and you're not as much on her side as he should be. And, Then there's some crazy stuff that happens. And then the director gets to, you know, do weird stuff with the lighting and get a little psychedelic. I mean, there's some interesting cuts in there that are just like, Hey, here's me.

10:05 I know how to make cool images, hire me Blumhouse so I can do your movie. And that may happen. I mean, that's how these things work. I mean, this is, this is, um, it wouldn't shock me. Yeah. That again, shutter is, um, a great service that has all the classics. I mean, they have a very deep archive of, of horror classics. And then they have a lot of new stuff that can sometimes be just like this, a calling card for a feature film. And then also new stuff from, you know, the Netherlands that wouldn't play in the U S but it's pretty damn great because it's a, but you know, they have a lot of international stuff as well. So, uh, yeah, I mean there, but there were some things I did like about it specifically. I like, so the main character is,

10:47 I guess is the midwife, right? Um, and what I liked about her is she, uh, and when we flash back and we realized that she never wanted to be there in the first place, it's like, she is aware that something's going wrong, but she also has the responsibility to keep things on track and keep everybody calm, even though that she knows there's something weird that's about to come into the, into the world. Um, I find that character dynamic interesting where like one person is aware of something and doesn't know when to reveal it to the others.

11:23 And the others, when she does reveal it, the others don't seem to care. It's a little bit of like, you know, it goes back to the blob. Why is nobody paying attention to the kids? The kids say there's a blob coming and the adults don't listen. It's just it's just a great. horror trope. Um, and, uh, I think that it was handled quite well in this. That was like the one thing that I think they, they really nailed in this. And, uh, I was impressed by it.

11:47 I also wonder if the character's name is Goody. Is she supposed to be like good wife? Right. Cause that's like in the crucible, they're all called Goody, Goody. Uh, I saw Goody, Goody rains dancing with the devil. I saw Goody Horowitz doing this. I mean, whatever it was, um, Right? Is that why they call her Goody in this? Goody Horowitz, you said? She was on the Lower East Side of Salem, Massachusetts.

12:10 It was Goody Horowitz.

12:12 Yes, I'm sure there is... Well, and also when you ultimately see what's... Yes. The child that is being born here, obviously the name is kind of a winking nod at whatever is happening. It's never entirely clear what's... what's, what's occurring or like what, what, what has happened in previously to enable this to happen? I wouldn't have minded maybe a little bit more of a, of a hint. I don't need a full explanation, but you're, you're not really, you know, you're not really given a clear sense of, you know, like, again, to compare it to Rosemary's Baby, like, we have a pretty good idea of why there isn't just a normal human baby being born. Oh, yeah.

12:55 There's the whole explanation, isn't there? And this, Raymond Creamer is very much a less is more director.

13:01 Yeah.

13:02 You know, there is, we mentioned there's only four characters, and one character disappears for a while, and, you know, it's up to you, the viewer, to figure out why or wonder why.

13:12 Yeah, there is. And there isn't right. There isn't a full explanation of that either.

13:16 Now that you mentioned it, I.

13:17 Will say there was there. Well, I don't know if I can really like fully like recommend this movie overall. There was one shot in this movie, which I will not spoil, but I wonder if you know which one I'm going to say. That I thought was one of the best shots in any horror movie I have seen in a while. Oh. And it was, and there's a lot of, as you mentioned, this goody-goody is gory-gory. The end of this film gets very gross and gloppy and bloody.

13:45 Yelling, they're yelling, yeah.

13:46 There's a lot of yelling. But the scariest thing in this movie is nothing that involves gore or blood or special effects. It is a shot of something behind the other characters.

14:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:01 And it's a lingering shot and it is beautifully composed.

14:05 Yeah.

14:06 And the use of focus and how that shot is deployed and how it's handled and the less is more quality of that. Yeah, it's good. I thought it was fantastic. It was a shot that I rewound. I wanted to see again. It's on Shudder. You can do things like that.

14:23 Yeah.

14:25 And honestly, I was like, of all, I mean, it's not like the gloppy, gory, gross stuff in this movie is bad where you go, well, this looks fake. This is dumb. But honestly, all of that stuff, as gross and as yucky as it is, to me, like you could put it all in one hand and just that one shot was more effective and kind of exciting to me.

14:49 than all the other really gory, explicit stuff combined.

14:53 Well, that shot of the lingering thing, there's something similar to it in Ari Oster's first movie. What was that called, where the kid gets their head cut off in the car?

15:01 Hereditary, you're talking about? Yeah, Hereditary.

15:03 There's something similar to that in Hereditary. But this was, I think, in a way, better. We should point out that Goody Goody's cinematographer is an individual by the name of Tristan Noel. Hats off to Tristan Noel. And incidentally, Goody... originates from a 16th century short form of the courtesy title Good Wife. Ah, Good Wife Baines, it's so nice to see you here in Salem, Massachusetts. How are things?

15:26 And it was used to address married women of humble social standing. So that's where Goody comes from. Yeah, you know, I don't know. It's a short movie. It's Halloween season. You want to see something you've never seen before? You could do a lot worse than seeing... Goody, Goody. I did think that one thing that was annoying.

15:43 You could do better, though.

15:45 You could do better.

15:45 Can I ask you one question, actually, before you get to that? You mentioned a few times about how Goody, the character Goody, is revealed to be kind of, I think, annoying? Was that the word you were using?

15:57 Yeah, she's not evil. She's not bad. She's just kind of like, she doesn't listen to the doctor.

16:01 She's very, well, but it's interesting how you're framing it in the context of this review, because to me it was just, I don't know. It felt more like I don't know if it's bad writing, but just convenient writing. It's like, how do we get these people to have give birth in a cabin in the woods when it seems like such a terrible idea? I mean, it's almost like you and you mentioned that the midwife, which I agree that the dynamic there is pretty good. But the midwife knows this is a bad idea and she rejects it.

16:33 And she doesn't want to do it. And then for the purposes of our movie, she has to do it anyway. And so she's along for this ride, but it does, you know, like, I don't know what kind of insurance the midwife has to pay, but if a woman comes to me and is like, here's my birth plan. I want to go to the cabin from The Evil Dead 2, and I want to have my baby there. I think I might respectfully decline and say- I know.

17:01 I think you're absolutely right. I think what they tried to sell, and it basically worked for me, is that this was a woman who, the main character- she felt an obligation. She's like, if I don't come along, this woman's going to hurt herself and hurt her baby.

17:15 Right.

17:16 And there's no one, like, I have to do it because I'm a righteous individual. And I feel like that's what they were trying to sell. They may not have sold it that well. And then the other things, it's like, I don't know, what is it? Like, the thing about the tea bags.

17:29 I feel like in a smarter movie, and maybe a movie that, because this movie is very kind of straightforward. I feel like there's room, if that's the character you're going to sell me, You could really make a satire about like bougie.

17:43 Entitled, yeah.

17:44 Entitled women or men or couples who think, you know, like who have these ludicrous notions about home births.

17:52 Yes, yes.

17:53 And think they know better than the medical establishment. And this is the result. And I guess you could say that that's baked into what happens in this movie. But it just, there's no snap to that. There could be, there's a lot of.

18:08 Meat left on that bone. I believe that you have put your finger directly on the essence, the essence of Le Cinema du Creamer. This is Raymond Creamer's way. He has a light touch. Less is more with Raymond Creamer. And Raymond Creamer did not want... I now believe Raymond Creamer to be a great auteur. He did not... He did not want to, to push it. I see. He wanted to make it subtle. I see. Like the, the indicators of her being annoying are that when she says she really wants to do it in the cabin in the woods, it's been her dream. And the fact that they refuse to have tea bags and only have loose tea, like it's annoying.

18:44 The tea scene really struck a chord with you.

18:46 It was like, cause it's like the only thing you learn about these characters. There's really not much backstory other than like, oh no, loose tea only for us. Like that's annoying. Get a, Frigging tea bag. So even if you have loose tea, get those individual bags that you can then put the tea in the bag. And anyway, so the the the. Maybe Raymond Kramer is a genius and we're all not.

19:07 What's going to happen is this. I love that my arguing against the film somehow made you like it more.

19:14 I'm doing a great job here. In X amount of years, Raymond Kramer is going to start pumping out really, really, really good movies. And then a few people are going to be like, hey, did you ever see his Shudder original that came out way back in 2026? It's called Goody Goody.

19:26 It's short.

19:27 It's very simple. But if you watch it, you will see all the hallmarks of of the future Creamer style. And it's really worth, if you want to understand Creamer in totality, you got to check out Goody Goody. So I say to you, the listeners, get ahead of the game. This is like watching Christopher Nolan's following before memento getting in.

19:52 I get it. You're trying to get in on the ground floor. That's always, that is always fun when you see, I mean, there's nothing better than that when you're at a film festival or something and you take a chance on a movie from a first time director or director, you don't know. And you, and you love it. I mean, I, I mean, we've had that. We both had that experiences many times. I can't say, I can't really join you in this case, but I love that you're enthusiastic and I would love for you to be right. I would love to see, uh, Raymond Kramer go on to do some interesting things. I mean, this is a movie with, again, for a movie that was clearly made for $ 0 in one location with four people. It's, you know, it has,

20:29 it does have, as I said, one of the best shots in any horror movie that I have seen in a long time. And there have been good horror movies this year.

20:37 Oh yeah.

20:38 And that shot can stand with the best moments in all of them. Maybe the rest of the movie cannot, but that shot definitely can. I agree.

20:47 I think we kind of agree, even though we sound like we disagree. I also like, there were some interesting edit choices, a little psychedelic. Sam, if you want to Bring up Riders on the Storm as we close this segment out because there's a couple of groovy parts.

21:00 I've always got it ready.

21:01 Don't worry.

21:02 There it is. I feel like I'm watching some of the more experiential montages in Goody Goody right now hearing Riders.

21:11 On the Storm. I didn't like those. I'll be honest. Those were some of my least favorite moments in the film because, as you said, this is a filmmaker for whom less is more. And those little glimpses of psychedelia or we don't really know fully what we're seeing. To me, it was like I didn't really get the sense that I was getting a glimpse of a deeper mythology. I felt like I was getting a sense of we got to have something to wrap this up and we can't really do anything too big. So what could we do in 10 seconds?

21:41 It may also have been a situation of like, hey, hire me to direct your rock videos on your TV commercials because I can do wacky stuff. All right, let's wrap it up now. Let's say Goody Goody is on Shudder. Matt Singer and I do not hate this film, unlike last week at Unabomber. We hate it.

21:58 Oh, compared to Unabomber. I mean, this is, this is Roseberry's Baby compared to Unabomber.

22:05 So I'm going to say to you, Matt Singer, as we crack open the shell of the Rex egg, what would you like to recommend that is some way related to Goody Goody for our listeners?

22:17 Well, we can't just go right into it. We have to establish that this is the recommendation segment.

22:24 Also known as.

22:25 Also known as. Wrecksig. The Wrecksig. Okay. Now that that's out of the way.

22:37 Yeah.

22:39 So you want me to go first?

22:41 I don't care.

22:42 All right, I'll go first.

22:44 Okay.

22:45 Now, I did think a lot about this. I thought about, you know, obviously pregnancy is the big question here, the big subject of our movie this week. And I thought about some options. And then I decided, you know, this is a movie about the terrors of pregnancy. Something that, I mean, I don't have firsthand experience, but I have, I guess, secondhand experience. I've witnessed the terrors of pregnancy in close proximity as my wife went through it twice.

23:14 And I thought, let me find something that maybe captures more of the terrors of pregnancy in a more grounded way, in a more realistic way. And so the movie that I wound up picking, based on what I could find that was on streaming at the present, is the movie Knocked Up, which is currently available on Netflix.

23:34 Now, hold on, hold on, hold on.

23:37 Let me finish.

23:38 All right.

23:39 Am I partly recommending this movie because it is covered at length in my new book, Funny Business, The Old School Wedding Crashers and Knocked Up Virgins Who Changed Comedy Forever, which happens to go, just by pure coincidence, goes on sale the exact same day this podcast drops. I mean, who's to say, really, ultimately?

23:58 Who knows?

23:58 The timing is convenient, but this is also the first movie I thought of, really, when I was trying to find a movie about the mundane horrors of pregnancy. And that is partly how writer-director Judd Apatow brings a personal touch to his own memories of being by his wife's side during her pregnancies. And supposedly the earliest seed of the idea for Knocked Up came from Seth Rogen actually pitching Judd Apatow on these big ideas he had. This is back much earlier in Seth Rogen's career. Now, if Seth Rogen has a big idea for a movie, he can probably get it greenlit somewhere. But back then, he's pitching Judd Apatow these wild sci-fi premises that would cost $ 100 million, and Apatow is like, you're never going to

24:51 get the money to do this, and you don't need that stuff. He's like, you're funny just being you. You're funny just sitting around at the Circuit City in the 40-year-old Virgin. You don't need that stuff. You could be funny just being a guy who gets a girl pregnant. And that was the lightning bolt moment. A couple of weeks later, he writes himself an email. The subject line of the email is pregnancy. And it contains the bullet points.

25:19 That became the spine of the movie. Who is the he?

25:21 Is it Seth Rogen?

25:22 This is Apatow. Apatow writes the movie.

25:24 Okay, yeah.

25:25 And the bullet points are things like a couple gets pregnant on their first date. The older sister of the woman has kids and represents its difficulties and complications. And going through this helps her adjust her life in a positive way. She doesn't like Seth. Maybe Seth admits... She is right at some point. And that's basically the film that they made. Seth Rogen plays this loser. He's an unemployed stoner, a nice guy, a schlump. He goes out with his buddies to a bar and he hits it off with a woman played by Katherine Heigl. They hook up.

25:57 She gets pregnant. She lives with her sister, the sister's husband and their kids. The husband is Paul Rudd. The sister is Leslie Mann, Apatow's real life wife. And the kids are played by their real-life kids, Maude and Iris. So while the idea might have come from this thing that was said by Rogan, and the character he's playing is, I mean, kind of based on him.

26:21 The Rogan persona, yeah.

26:23 Rudd is basically a stand-in for Judd Apatow. And aspects of both storylines really come from Apatow's life and marriage. And, you know, just one example is there's a subplot involving... Heigl and Rogan's gynecologist, like you go, which is something you do. You go meet gynecologists, you pick out the one you want to deliver your baby. And they picked out one and he promised them he would be there for their birth. And then of course he wasn't available when it was time for the delivery. And they had to go basically like hat in hand and to one of the people they had previously rejected and like beg them to show up and deliver the baby. And that's what happens in the movie. What happened to your doctor?

27:07 He's at a bar mitzvah in San Francisco. He didn't tell us, though.

27:11 Nice.

27:12 Lucky for you, I don't have any Jewish friends.

27:14 There's many examples. I'm not going to rattle them off, partly because you can read all about it in Funny Business, which is available right now in bookstores. And the pregnancy aspects of the film and the birth aspects are on point. They're famously at the end of the film. There's a spoiler alert. A baby is born. And there are shots of a real delivery, a real birth, which was something Apatow felt very strongly about, including over others' objections, because he felt that as shocking and as graphic as that is, that's the reality of what's happening here. And I think that that's one of the things that Knocked Up does well, is that it kind of strips away some of the glossiness of romantic comedies of other movies about pregnancy, Hollywood

28:07 movies about pregnancy. Some of the, you know, like some of the niceties that. Yeah.

28:12 Also like the screwball comedies. Like, you know, there's like a momentum that you expect Knocked Up to take and it doesn't always take it. You know, it sometimes zigs where you think it's going to zag. And it's very funny. My number one memory of Knocked Up is they're like, shopping for like a crib and they see a used crib, but it's like kind of dirty. And Seth Rogen just says like, ah, I scored a bunch of Purell on it.

28:35 It'll be fine. That just always stuck with me as like something I.

28:38 As a person who squirts Purell on things.

28:41 Like whenever I see something like by the side of the road, I'm like, ah, I scored a bunch of Purell on it. We can, we can take that.

28:46 So, so it's not, maybe not as gory as goody goody, but there are aspects of knocked up that are in their own way. Very, very, Stress and anxiety inducing. And so that's my pick, Knocked Up. It is available on Netflix and you can read a lot more about it and other great comedies of the 2000s in Funny Business, The Old School Wedding Crashers and Knocked Up Versions Who Changed Comedy Forever. Available now wherever fine books are sold.

29:12 If you're listening to this podcast, put on your shoes right now. Keep listening on your headphones. Walk downtown. That's right. Go to the bookstore.

29:18 That's right.

29:18 Go to the bookstore right now and buy it. If you can't do that, go to bookshop.org or amazon.com or one of the others, barnesandnoble.com. Buy this book. It's what you need to do to live a righteous life. That's right. Now, my choice is kind of knocked up. I have fond memories of that upbeat movie. I have a really dark, negative movie to talk about. And it is only tangentially related to goody goody. I might've mentioned earlier that no, I know I mentioned earlier that the thing that I responded to the most in goody goody is the fact that the midwife is aware there's a problem with But no one else in the room knows there's a problem.

30:00 And when does she say something? I find that tension to be, you know, it's realistic, like in life, like, you know, not to get too serious, but like there have been times in your life, I'm sure, where like you've gotten an email with bad news and you have to tell. someone else in your life, what you, what you know, and they don't, or maybe you got up early and saw the news and saw that there was, you know, an earthquake that killed 500 people somewhere. And it's like, oh crap, you know, this is terrible news.

30:24 And I'm the only one who knows right now, or even something as serious as like, I, I got bad news from a doctor and I know that I'm sick or something. It's that moment of when do you tell someone? And there was actually another recent, very bad movie that, that hit on this. Well, There was a lousy movie that we did not discuss in this podcast somehow called The Runner with Gal Gadot. It's not a good movie, but it has two interesting things. One, it has Anthony Dodd-Mantle doing the cinematography and he's great. And the other thing is like she's on her headphones, on her Bluetooth, and there's a mastermind criminal that's about to blow up London. Sure.

31:02 And only she knows and everybody else around her and all of London doesn't know. And it does play well with that. That's not the movie I'm recommending. Don't watch The Runner with Gal Gadot. What you should watch is a really serious movie that for a minute I felt like, ah, nobody remembers this movie. Then I looked it up and it was nominated for Best Picture, which I agree with because it's good. But I had forgotten that it did that well at the Oscars. The movie is called Sound of Metal.

31:28 Oh, sure.

31:29 Do you remember Sound of Metal? Yes, yes.

31:31 Very good movie.

31:31 Sound of Metal is a marvelous film. that stars the great Riz Ahmed. I say unto you, nobody beats the Riz. I mean, he really is great. And he actually was nominated for Best Actor as well as this being nominated for Best Picture. And he was great. And the movie was directed by Darius Marder and co-written by Derek Cianfrance.

31:53 Cianfrance, I think.

31:54 Cianfrance, that guy. A guy who makes decent movies. So the thing is this. The movie is very simple. It's about a hard rock drummer living a hard rock life. And then one day he goes deaf. And it's about him accepting his deafness. And it's a serious, it pulls at all the heartstrings and it's a serious movie about disability and learning to accept your fate and all that.

32:18 But there's a sequence of about, I don't know, it felt to me like an hour, it's probably 15 minutes of, When he's gone deaf, but he doesn't want to believe it. He doesn't want to tell anybody.

32:28 Right.

32:28 He's just waiting for his hearing to get back. But the way the movie plays with sound is very good. Outstanding. In fact, that won the best Oscar, the best sound, best Oscar, which it should have for that.

32:44 Well-deserved, I would say.

32:46 It's on Riz. It's really on Riz to play a man in absolute panic of like, holy shit, I can't hear, I can't hear. But- I'm trying to get on with my day. He's got to go to the gig. He's got to play a show and everything. He's got to talk to people. And just the look on his face of like, I can't believe I am experiencing this and no one else knows. And I don't know, maybe, maybe I feel like I'm in a therapist's office right now, but that is a, um, a deep, that connects to me on a very deep level for whatever reason that taps into my anxieties of like being the only one aware of some heavy shit going down and no movie.

33:22 has ever really nailed it as well as this movie. There's a lot that else is going on in this movie, but for me, that aspect of it was the one that I was just sweating bullets when I saw this in the theater when it first came out. Now, it's funny. In my memory, I was like, oh, this is a little movie that not that many people remember from a few years ago. I'm like, oh, you dummy. It was nominated for five Oscars. It won Best Sound, and it won Best Editing, too. That's a big deal. It was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, as it should have been.

33:51 Paul Racey I don't know how he pronounces his last name. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Riz got nominated for Best Actor and it was nominated for Best Picture. So this is clearly a good movie. You know what it lost that year too for Best Actor? Riz should have won. I'm looking at it now. I see who did win and he's great.

34:08 Was that the year? Because it's the COVID Oscars, isn't it?

34:12 That's right. It's the COVID Oscars.

34:13 So isn't that Anthony Hopkins who won?

34:15 That's right. Anthony Hopkins in The Father is an amazing performance.

34:21 Right.

34:21 And he is, in my opinion, a close second place. I feel that the Riz should have won.

34:27 Right. I mean, Riz was. I mean, he certainly wasn't favored. I mean, if anything, the person that was expected to win was Chadwick Boseman. That's right. They even had the Best Actor Award last.

34:38 That's absolutely right.

34:39 In an infamous, disastrous moment because they assumed Chadwick Boseman had passed away a few months earlier.

34:45 Right.

34:46 He gives this great performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. He's going to win. It's going to be a feel good moment.

34:52 You're right. And then they announced.

34:54 The winner and it's Anthony Hopkins who, because it was COVID, didn't even come.

34:58 No, he was asleep. He was asleep in his Welsh castle.

35:00 So they literally like announce him and someone says, I accept this award on his behalf. And then it's like, good night, everybody.

35:05 It was a big anti-climax and a lot of people were upset. And here's the thing. God bless Chadwick Boseman, a terrific actor. And of course, beloved by so many and- Everything about him is great, but his performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was good. I don't think that, I think that Anthony Hopkins is the right person. I mean, that's probably.

35:27 Why he won, despite the fact that this beloved actor had passed away. I mean, that's why it was an undeniable performance.

35:34 He's so good in the father, but also I think I am a big fan of, of Riz Ahmed. And I think that this movie is great. And if you missed it, cause it was the COVID year. Like everything was weird that year. That's probably why you think it was, it was nobody remembers.

35:48 Nobody remembers it because nobody remembers anything that happened in that year, especially about movies.

35:54 Yeah. Yeah.

35:54 Yeah.

35:54 So if you have the stomach for it, it's a, it's a, well, it's actually ultimately the movie does end up. It's about acceptance and perseverance and moving on.

36:03 But you're right. It is a visceral experience. I think this is a really clever pick on your part because I see the connection. I see what you're saying. Honestly, I think that this movie does what you like about Goody Goody better than Goody Goody does.

36:15 Oh, for sure it does. Yes. Let's say that right away.

36:18 And it's such a beautiful experiential film where it really does put you into the headspace using that amazing sound design of this character. And it's a really powerful film. So that's a good pick. And I assume it was a Prime movie, right? Is it streaming on Prime? Is that where you can watch it?

36:34 Actually, it is streaming on Prime. Was it released by Prime back in the day?

36:38 I think so. I feel like it was.

36:41 It's on Prime. So if you get Prime, it's free with your subscription. It's also on Canopy, the service we talk about a great deal. Canopy is free with your library card if you live in most areas other than New York City.

36:52 Break.

36:53 So if you live anywhere other than New York, it's free on Canopy with your library card.

36:57 All right. Let's get to a listener request time. We alluded to it earlier, but I'm going to read the email we are answering this week. It says, Hello, Jordan and Matt. I am seeking some personalized recommendations for horror films to show my nine-year-old daughter during Halloween season. Here's the catch. I can only show her PG- or G-rated films.

37:22 And while I'd love to take advantage of the loophole that a pre-PG-13 movie like Poltergeister Jaws might offer, I fear that might be a little too much for her Disney-fied sensibilities. I am a SVE, streaming video enthusiast, and I have access to all the major streaming platforms. Love that SVU is back. Wish to voice support for Matt always screaming, Rex Egg! To begin the segment. So there you go. That is from Matt, not me, another Matt.

37:52 No, different Matt.

37:53 The father of Leia. Okay, so thank you for the email, Matt. Another fun, but niche request. A horror film that is appropriate for a nine-year-old with Disney-fied sensibilities. It's a tricky one because I have two daughters that are around this age. I have an almost nine-year-old and an almost 11-year-old. And this is something I struggle with because they, you know, they don't want something that's boring, but they can be overwhelmed.

38:24 It has happened.

38:25 You don't want them annoying you at 1 a.m. saying, can I sleep in your bed tonight, daddy? I'm scared.

38:30 That's right.

38:30 Get away, kid.

38:31 And my nine-year-old in particular is one who will be upset by... Movies with heavy themes, with darkness, and so.

38:39 Yeah, okay. Well, you know what? I may have botched this a little bit because now that I'm rereading the email.

38:44 You recommended Solo, didn't you? No, no. Well, no.

38:49 I recommended a movie, that's Disney.

38:51 Okay.

38:51 That is PG, that I saw at around the age of 20.

38:56 And look at how well you turned out.

38:58 Exactly. What could go wrong? But you know what? There's a difference between 9 and 10. And this movie did F me up a little bit as a kid. Uh-oh. And it's pretty well known for being like, Disney, what the hell are you doing? There's a couple. There's Watcher in the Woods is another one that's like, what are you talking about?

39:13 But this is a different one. Watcher in the Woods is an infamously dark Disney movie. But it's not on. It's so dark, it's not on Disney +.

39:19 Well, this one is on Disney +. And I know it's on Disney +, because literally- exactly one year ago today on October 10th, 2000. 2025, I wrote an article saying, oh my God, this lost movie from my youth is now streaming on Disney +.

39:36 Oh.

39:37 And the movie I'm talking about, well, can either of you guess? It came out in 83, Disney, PG, too scary for its own good, has a scene with spiders, and Has a scene with Jason Robars. Has a scene with Jonathan Pryce. Based on a Ray Bradbury. I feel like I'm playing the game now. Based on a Ray Bradbury short story.

39:56 I don't know.

39:58 All right. Deep cut, everybody.

39:59 It's a deep cut.

39:59 The movie's called Something Wicked This Way Comes. Have you seen it, Matt Singer?

40:05 I don't think I have.

40:07 It might have fell into, you know, there's a little bit of an age discrepancy between you and I. And this might have fallen in that crevice. Sam, have you seen Something Wicked This Way Comes?

40:15 I have not, but I remember the VHS cover.

40:18 There you go. It's scary. So Something Wicked This Way Comes is PG, but it would have been PG-13 now. So I apologize to Matt, the listener, because I failed you. But it is the basic premise. It's set in like. you know, Main Street USA, Americana, Gaslight 90s, you know, and the traveling circus is coming to town. And that is the wicked thing that is coming. It is a dark carnival, as we would say nowadays. And it's Jonathan Pryce in a demonic beard and a top hat. And he is doing magic tricks. And what he's actually doing is something nefarious. And the only ones who recognize that he is evil incarnate are the little kids in the town Where do you come from?

41:06 The dust. Where do you go to? The grave.

41:10 Yes.

41:12 We are the hungry ones. Your torments call us like dogs in the night.

41:18 And we do feed. And feed well. The movie really, really is a vibes movie. Because I, as a kid, I seemed to get it. like it made sense to me watching it again last year. I'm like, where, what the hell is going on? Like things don't seem to make any sense, but you get it. And the plot probably was chopped up in post-production a hundred times. But basically it's the, the two young boys in town are the only ones who know that Satan's come to town and the carnival is evil. And eventually it comes to pass and there's a big, a big fight scene. And the, but a lot of cool stuff with the carousel and, And like I mentioned, a scene with spiders, a scene with lightning rods. This is a lot of great imagery. And,

42:03 you know, I saw this. It came out in 83. I did not see it in the theater, but I did see it on HBO and whatnot soon thereafter. So let's say I saw it in 84 and I watched it many, many, many times. And it really imprinted on me. I'm trying to think, I didn't live in old-timey Main Street USA and go to carnivals. Where would I have seen that? Maybe old episodes of Little House on the Prairie or something. But I'm like, no, all of my relationships to that whole trope comes from this film that just has a great, great look. I don't know off the top of my head who shot it, who was the production designer, I don't even remember who directed it.

42:45 But it's a really handsome production of that vibe. So if you're into the dark carnival trope, this movie is like a lodestar for that. It's really good. I remember one line I do remember is like, there's a scene... Where the boy and Jason Robards is the dad. And he's like nine, the kid, and the dad is Jason Robards.

43:09 He looks like he's 72. They talk about that. He's like, he was a late, I'm a late father or something like that. And there's a moment when they're up late because they're nervous about evil coming to town. And the clock chimes 3 a.m. And Jason Robards goes, 3 a.m. The soul's midnight.

43:27 Yeah.

43:28 And I just remember that blowing me away. Like, oh, there's a midnight that's even more midnight than the midnight I know.

43:35 3 a.m.

43:36 Is the soul's midnight. And now watching it again, I'm like, what the hell does that mean? Like, 3 a.m. is the soul's midnight? There's only X amount of hours at night. I mean, does every hour have a new name? So anyway, that's just one of the joys of the experience of this film. It was directed by Jack Clayton. who directed The Innocents in 1961. So he's not a nobody there.

43:57 And this was during Disney's dark period, right? This is pre-Disney Renaissance when they were throwing shit against the wall.

44:03 It's literally and metaphorically. They were doing some darker stuff.

44:06 Dark Cauldron. Black Cauldron. Sorry, The Black Cauldron. All the other movies that made Disney nearly.

44:13 The most terrifying film of all, Oliver and Company.

44:17 Oliver and Company. Tron also, although Tron did make money. The Black Hole. These are all the Disney mistakes that nearly bankrupted the company. And this was one of them, which is why it is not a celebrated film today. But it's on Disney +. Maybe the nine-year-old girl may freak out during one or two scenes, but I think she can do it. Matt, listener Matt, I think your daughter can do it. Watch the trailer with her first.

44:41 There's one scene with spiders that'll F her up, but in a fun way, because spiders are real. You've got to learn about spiders.

44:47 I mean, he is asking for a horror movie. It's tough because you don't want it to be too scary, but if it's not scary, it's got to be.

44:57 Something wicked this way comes.

44:59 Something Wicked This Way Comes. It has a really cool poster. I'm looking at the Letterboxd page.

45:04 It was shot by Stephen H. Burham, longtime Brian De Palma collaborator. And when I wrote this piece last year for Decider.com, I remember linking to it on my social media and a couple other Gen X people. A friend of the pod, Russ Fisher. Matt, you know Russ, right?

45:19 Sure.

45:19 Russ Fisher was like, I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid. I'm like, yeah, me too, a little bit. I think we're just the right age. Sam, I don't know where you were. We're around the same age and you missed this one, but you say you do remember the VHS box.

45:30 Oh, definitely. Yeah, but I was a scaredy cat then, scaredy cat now. There's no way I would have asked to see this. Did not have HBO.

45:37 Got it.

45:37 I wasn't going to encounter it accidentally.

45:40 Understood.

45:40 Well, yes. Something scared stays very far away from something wicked this way comes.

45:46 Yeah. It's the same DP that did De Palma's Mission Impossible, The Untouchables, Carlito's Way, Body Double. I mean, he's the real deal. So I don't know. That's my recommendation. Give it a shot. Let me know what you think. Send us an email.

45:58 Should I show this to my children too, Jordan?

46:00 Not the younger one. Not the younger one. If she's too scared, she's going to be too scared of this.

46:04 All right.

46:05 But the older one, yeah.

46:06 Okay. It's important.

46:07 I believe child psychologists believe that parents who have more than one kid should occasionally focus.

46:12 Silo off.

46:14 Exactly.

46:14 And do a little special. And we do do that sometimes.

46:17 Yeah. We have done that.

46:19 I have watched things with my oldest that the youngest has not seen.

46:23 This might be one of them.

46:24 Yeah.

46:24 Okay. All right.

46:25 Well, if she mentions wanting to see something scary this Halloween, which she has not done yet, maybe we'll watch that one as well.

46:35 Is she scared of spiders specifically?

46:37 My oldest, she hates bugs. She does hate bugs. And she freaks out at not just spiders, but like any bug. Like literally if I hear that noise.

46:48 You know it's a bug.

46:49 I have a pretty good sense that there's like a tiny fly in her room.

46:53 Well, there's one scene in this movie that may be too much for her. But we'll see.

46:58 We'll see.

46:58 Ray Bradbury's fantasy tale of light and darkness is getting closer.

47:06 Something wicked this way comes.

47:08 Well....

47:15 My pick, and I thought a lot about this because, like I said, I have kids, and this is something that I deal with. And, you know, like, not just horror movies. Like, my kids have gotten into Indiana Jones. I started showing them Indiana Jones movies. But we've watched three of them, but we haven't watched Temple of Doom yet because I feel like that one is too intense, especially for the younger one. And I don't want to deal with, you know, her... having nightmares about people pulling her heart out of her chest or something. Like, that's just too far. It's too much. From personal experience, I will say my kids' favorite horror or horror-adjacent movies are the 90s Addams Family movies, but those are rated PG-13.

48:02 So if we really care about the rating that strictly... then maybe don't go for that. But those are the ones that they've seen those and liked those and watched those. And they actually, like recently, the youngest has seen both and likes them and actually asked to rewatch them recently. So that is something that it's technically PG-13. I think some of that has to do with more with like the risque kind of humor than the scares. But my kids can handle those and like those a lot. But I do have a honest-to-goodness G-rated horror film for a family audience. It is also on Disney. It is a Disney film. It is on Disney +. It was made all the way back in 1949. It is called The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. And this was one

48:55 of Disney's so-called package films, package films that the Disney company kind of resorted to to making these things during and after World War II because Disney's finances were kind of stretched so thin, both monetarily and like physically, like a lot of the animators, they were serving in the war.

49:16 They just, the company was stretched. And so, he instead of making features which of course was what the company became so famous for in the 30s making feature animations like full-length stories they started releasing collections of shorts they were easier to do they were cheaper to make And so instead of things like Snow White and Pinocchio, you got The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, which is two totally unrelated short films, each about 30 minutes long, each with their own narrator. You have Basil Rathbone narrating the Mr. Toad section, and you have Bing Crosby, of all people, narrating and singing the Ichabod Crane section. Oh!

50:04 When spooks have a midnight jamboree, they break it.

50:09 Up with fiendish glee.

50:11 Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed is the Headless Horseman. He's the worst. That's right, he's a bird on Halloween night.

50:20 This sounds great. I've never seen this. I've never even heard of this.

50:23 Really? Oh, this is one that I liked as a kid. The story of Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman, presented and sung by the ultimate voice of horror, Bing Crosby. That's great.

50:36 Actually, I will say.

50:41 It is a G rated film and I, you know, children can handle it, but the headless horseman section, while it is brief and it does include a lot of slapstick comedy, it is scary. It is. If you want a G rated horror film, this will fit the bill.

50:59 And this is live action.

51:00 This is live action or animation. This is animated and it has beautiful Disney animation and it has, you know, like wacky physical comedy with the headless horseman. The headless horseman is swinging a sword, trying to behead Ichabod Crane, who's like. Bouncing all over his horse. And like the horse is riding him. And he's on the back of the headless horse. It's like a very strange. Almost Sam Raimi-esque tone. Where it's like hilariously funny. But also really scary.

51:35 And one thing I thought you could do. As a recommendation for our listener. If you are worried about. It might be too intense. Is again. It's two shorts. that are totally unrelated. And if you watch them in order, it goes Mr. Toad and then Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane.

51:56 So check in, Mr. Toad, are you okay? You want to continue or you want to stop? No, no, no.

52:00 Invert them. Watch Ichabod Crane first. And if it's a little scary, Mr.

52:05 Toad is delightful.

52:06 It's not scary. It's whimsical.

52:08 It's fun.

52:08 It's a toad who drives really fast. And by the time it's over, the... terrors have faded a little bit and you're not thinking about as much about the headless guy trying to murder Ichabod Crane.

52:22 It was the very witching hour of night that Ichabod pursued his travel homeward. The sky grew darker and darker as one by one the stars winked out their lights and driving clouds obscured the moon from sight.

52:35 Have you ever driven through Sleepy Hollow, New York?

52:37 No.

52:38 It's legit. Like we drove by through it once or twice because Anne's cousin used to live not far from there. We drove past the cemetery, like the main road. Is there a covered bridge?

52:51 Because it's all about the covered bridge.

52:53 They lean into it like they don't mess around. It's like you are in the cemetery. This is the cemetery of Sleepy Hollow. It's exactly what you want it to look like. It's just I'm like, this is great. Hats off to them. You know, I've never been to Salem Mass, but I've been there.

53:07 Well, and this was one that I liked as a kid. I liked both halves, but I definitely watched, you know, this was probably one I had taped off the Disney channel on one of those EP VHS tapes we were talking about earlier, and I watched it a lot. That said, I was a kid who was raised on Ghostbusters, so maybe I wasn't afraid of no ghosts or headless horsemen.

53:29 So perhaps I was I don't know. Maybe I was able to handle it a little better, but that's my pick. It's a G-rated horror film. It is The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

53:41 I love it.

53:41 I can't wait to see it. It is streaming on Disney +. Let's recap all the recommendations.

53:46 Let's do the recap.

53:47 This week, we also had Something Wicked This Way Comes on Disney +. That's for our listener, Matt, who's looking for- Horror films he can watch with his daughter. And then in our main rec seg, we recommended Knocked Up, which is available on Netflix and, of course, on VOD. And Jordan recommended Sound of Metal for more experiential horror of knowing information that other people don't and the dread of that.

54:12 That's available on Prime Video. It's available on Canopy.

54:15 And Sam just slipped us a note. You know, I gave a shout out when I was talking to Something Wicked This Way Comes. About The Watcher in the Woods, which came out a few years earlier. Betty Davis is in it. I think it's Holly Lynn Johnson also. Is she in that? You know, she's in For Your Eyes Only. Not streaming anywhere. Disney has put.

54:36 That in the same. Yeah, it's in the vault.

54:39 With Song of the South. They've just locked it up.

54:44 I have watched it and I watched it like when I was an adult. I did not see it as a kid. I watched it as an adult and I was like, this movie is unbelievably dark for a children's film. It's kind of crazy. So I'm not surprised.

54:55 I don't know that I've ever, I do remember the ad quite well.

54:59 Look closely. What do you see? What do you think you see? What does it mean? Where does it begin or end? And who knows the answer? Betty Davis, Carol Baker, David McCallum, and Lynn Holly Johnson.

55:18 The Watcher in the Woods. I remember the commercial. Well, you know what? Nobody cares. I just remembered the ad. I'm not going to get into the whole story about it right now. We have to move on to the game.

55:34 Okay.

55:34 All right. Well, so that's it.

55:35 Sam, you don't need to put the anecdote sound in there. He was about to go into it and he bailed out. So just crisis averted. Yes, you can leave it out.

55:44 There really wasn't a part. It's just the story was I saw the ad a lot. That's the story. If you would like to get a personalized streaming recommendation, you can, free of charge.

56:30 see all of the movies. There are well over 100. It's more than one page. And I recently revisited that because a couple weeks ago I wanted to recommend Death Trap. And I thought, didn't I talk about Death Trap already? And I had to go back to this page. And I said, oh, yes, I did. So I'd forgotten some of the movies. A lot of good ones there. That's what's happening. But now, Matt Singer.

56:52 Yes.

56:53 It's time to load the dice and get the cards ready. I believe it's time to play a game.

56:59 Let's do that.

57:05 All right.

57:06 I am in charge of the game this week, which can only mean one thing. It means the return of America's fastest growing quiz sensation. Portmanteau to toe.

57:38 I was hoping for this.

57:39 For listeners. Yeah, I'm too lazy to come up with a new game now that I have a good one. For listeners, a portmanteau is a new word formed by the blending of sounds and combining the meanings of two distinct words. So I will give Sam and Jordan the plot synopsis of an imaginary movie that I have created by smushing two movie titles into one and whoever buzzes in first and gives me the portmanteau title. We'll get the point. So, for example, this is just an example.

58:07 If I said the heroes from multiple Marvel universes join forces to defeat a new threat and then challenge him to a NASCAR race where they are joined by a hot shot driver who needs to get over his anxiety following a massive crash while he also falls for a beautiful doctor, you would say... Oh, boy.

58:30 Avengers, Days of Thunder.

58:32 Avengers, yes. Avengers, Dooms, Days of Thunder. Oh, yes.

58:39 Dooms, Days of Thunder.

58:41 Avengers, Doomsday.

58:42 Doomsday hasn't come out yet, so yes.

58:43 Well, that's why it's a safer theoretical example. Avengers, Doomsday, and Days of Thunder.

58:49 Now, is there any theme to this?

58:51 There is.

58:52 There's always a theme.

58:53 Okay.

58:53 So there are– this time I've made seven portmanteau titles. Yep. And to make things just a little easier, there's always a theme on this game. And this week, in honor of Goody Goody, one or perhaps both of the films in each portmanteau title include the word good everyone will include the word good wow keep that in mind good good for you good for you good for you my friend okay Are we ready?

59:30 Let's do it. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

59:32 Here we go.

59:32 Yeah, good.

59:33 All right, good. Good for you. Okay, here we go. Portmanteau number one. A brilliant lawyer is assigned to defend two Marines accused of murder, but claim they were only following orders from a brutal superior officer. But while the lawyer investigates the case, he discovers... The existence of aliens.

59:57 And then is invited to join.

59:59 I'm going to go a few good men in black.

1:00:02 That is correct. A few good men in black. He's invited to join a top secret organization that polices the extraterrestrial creatures using high tech weapons and a gadget that can erase memory. Sam is on the board first. One to nothing.

1:00:16 I got one good.

1:00:17 All right, here we go. Portmanteau number two. A woman trapped in an unhappy marriage and miserable in her job at a big box store contemplates an affair with her dreamy co-worker, but instead decides to become an elite hacker who helps a journalist investigate a woman's disappearance in Sweden. Oh, eh, eh, eh. Jordan.

1:00:44 The good girl with the dragon tattoo.

1:00:48 Jordan is on the board. We are tied one to one. The good girl with the dragon tattoo.

1:00:54 I haven't seen the good girl since it came out. I couldn't come up with good girl.

1:00:58 I was hoping that it would be, you'd figure it out, Jordan. You didn't let me down.

1:01:02 That's a Mike White production.

1:01:03 Jennifer Aniston, right?

1:01:05 Yeah, good movie. Good movie.

1:01:08 Okay. We're tied at one. Portmanteau number three. A British investment banker inherits a vineyard in France and rediscovers his love of wine. He then delivers some wine to Indonesia, where he falls in love with a British diplomat. Jordan.

1:01:29 Jordan. A good year of living dangerously.

1:01:34 Jordan has taken the lead two to one. A good year... A Year of Living Dangerously. A Good Year of Living Dangerously.

1:01:42 Ridley Scott.

1:01:42 Very nice.

1:01:43 Good Year of Ridley Scott. Peter Weir.

1:01:45 Ridley Scott and Peter Weir.

1:01:47 Peter Weir did A Year of Living Dangerously. Very good movie. Sigourney Weaver.

1:01:50 I've never seen A Good Year, actually.

1:01:52 No, nor I. I heard it was very bad, but we'll see.

1:01:55 Ironically. Yeah. Okay. So Jordan has up two to one. Here's portmanteau number four. Although Henry looks like a cherubic little 10-year-old boy, His cousin begins to suspect that he is secretly a violent psychopath. Then the cousin makes an even more shocking discovery. A magical mask imbued with the powers of the god Loki, which he uses to wreak havoc and occasionally mess with the family's dog. It's a question.

1:02:29 It's a buzzer with a question mark at the end. Is it the good son of the mask?

1:02:34 It is indeed The Good Son of the Mask. The Good Son, the Macaulay Culkin thriller, where it was like, I'm done being the cute child, even though I'm still a cute child. I'm now a killer. And Son of the Mask, the sequel to the misbegotten sequel to The Mask, one of the worst comedies ever made. But it's a good movie for Sam because he just tied it up.

1:03:01 I never saw A Good Son for some reason. I just never got around to it.

1:03:03 Oh, I saw that movie probably too young many times. It was like an HBO rotation movie. The Good Son.

1:03:10 You know what I have seen? It's kind of ripped a little bit from The Bad Seed. Have you seen The Bad Seed? Which I think is like an early 60s, late 50s. I have seen The Bad Seed. That is a very entertaining picture.

1:03:21 Yeah, I think I could be wrong because I haven't seen it since I was a kid. But I feel like the end of that movie involves... Elijah Wood, who plays like the cousin, like hanging off a cliff and Macaulay Culkin trying to murder him on a cliff.

1:03:33 Wow.

1:03:33 That's my memory. Maybe I'm inventing it, but that's my mind's eye of that movie. All right.

1:03:38 Wow.

1:03:39 All right.

1:03:39 Two to two. We have three left. It's anybody's game.

1:03:42 This is exciting.

1:03:42 This is exciting. I'm very excited. Portmanteau number five. And appropriately, the film is the fifth installment of a beloved action franchise about a dogged cop who this time gets dragged into a wild adventure in Russia, where his son is being held by the authorities. Not only do the frenetic chases and shootouts that ensue bring the father and son closer together.

1:04:11 Yeah, I saw this movie.

1:04:12 Jordan knows that one.

1:04:13 I don't remember the name. No, but I don't remember the name of it, though. I did see it, yeah.

1:04:17 They also allow the father to investigate the disappearance of his daughter and then follow her trail to California, where he discovers she has gotten swept up in the seamy world of pornography and maybe even snuff films.

1:04:33 Okay, I know both of these movies, but I don't have the word good in there.

1:04:38 Then you don't know these movies because it's definitely in one of them. Sam's looking very quizzically. I, I know, I, I, I know, I know, but it's, I guess I don't remember the name of the fifth movie in this franchise. Do you want to, do you want to say the name of the franchise and see if.

1:04:56 That helps Sam? Here's what's annoying is that, um, ah, nevermind. I just, I just, I just cut off another story that we don't have to get into. It's the, it's the fifth Die Hard movie. It's the fifth Die Hard movie with Bruce Willis and Jai Courtney. It is indeed. If I may use that name.

1:05:15 Sam, do you remember the name of the fifth Die Hard movie?

1:05:19 It's not Live Free and Die Hard. It's not. That was the fourth one. That's the fourth one. So the fifth one has the word good in it.

1:05:25 It does indeed.

1:05:26 Because the second part.

1:05:27 It does indeed.

1:05:28 It's like good something Die Hard.

1:05:31 A good day to hardcore? A hard Die Hard?

1:05:33 Yeah, it's hardcore is the second part.

1:05:35 A good day to die hardcore?

1:05:37 Oh, a good day to die hardcore.

1:05:38 Sam, got it.

1:05:39 What is it? What is it?

1:05:40 It's a team effort.

1:05:41 A Good Day to Die Hardcore. A Good Day to Die Hard and Hardcore. Paul Schrader's Hardcore. Paul Schrader's Hardcore.

1:05:51 Yes. The fifth movie in the Die Hard franchise is a pun. A Good Day to Die Hard is what it's called. Who could remember that? But then, of course, I knew Hardcore.

1:05:58 I could. It's one of the dumbest movie titles ever. How do you forget A Good Day to Die Hard?

1:06:03 It's a very bad film.

1:06:04 It's a terrible movie.

1:06:05 It's very bad.

1:06:05 It's awful.

1:06:06 It's absolutely awful. Well, maybe that should be a nobody. I think we might want to just keep it tied.

1:06:11 We're doing that collectively with the listeners. We're all getting there. We all got there. But yeah, no points.

1:06:16 That one was for the love of the game.

1:06:19 So we're still tied with two portmanteaus left.

1:06:22 Here we go.

1:06:25 Portmanteau number six. In a faraway land, two former friends with magic powers are caught on opposite sides of a battle between the autocratic ruler of their kingdom. Eventually, the two powerful sisterly women are able to bury the hatchet and expose this evil ruler. Then, they celebrate their victory by going to work in a fast food restaurant populated by all sorts of eccentric oddball characters. Okay.

1:06:58 I know the second part.

1:07:01 Yeah, I know the second part, but I do not know... the first part at all.

1:07:07 Not at all. Can you read it again?

1:07:09 Okay.

1:07:09 Can you read it again? I'm going to just give you some clues.

1:07:12 Yeah, give me some clues.

1:07:13 It is part, perhaps even the second part of a two-part film. A recent two-part film.

1:07:23 Oh, boy.

1:07:25 Perhaps these former friends. Oh, Sam. Uh-oh.

1:07:29 I love this. Wicked for Good Burger.

1:07:31 Wicked for Good Burger.

1:07:34 Oh.

1:07:35 Wicked for Good and Good Burger.

1:07:38 Good Burger.

1:07:39 You got it. That's a description of Wicked for Good, but I wasn't thinking it. I wasn't thinking it. Well, I didn't want.

1:07:45 To make it too easy.

1:07:46 Yeah, the singing part.

1:07:48 I should have maybe mentioned it was a musical. Maybe that would have been a better... I left that out. All right. We have... Shiz University.

1:07:54 Yes.

1:07:55 And as I would just like to point out, that was.

1:07:58 That's right. Wicked for Shizburger.

1:08:00 Nobody beats the Shiz. Nobody beats the Riz and nobody beats the Shiz. That was one with good in both titles, I just want to say.

1:08:07 It was a shared.

1:08:09 Okay. So we have one left.

1:08:10 They call that in biology, they call that covalent bonding.

1:08:16 So it's three to two, Sam. Jordan can tie it, and I have no idea how he would settle the tie, because I only have one left.

1:08:23 All right, here we go.

1:08:25 But he can tie it, or.

1:08:26 I'm going to try.

1:08:27 Sam wins. Here we go. A teenager's world is rocked when she discovers her mother is sickened with cancer. While she prepares for her school's musical... She encounters a dirty and disheveled man who claims to be a time traveler from the future, who says he needs her help in altering that future to prevent the rise of an evil artificial intelligence. Well, clearly I know the first part.

1:08:56 Yeah, we know the first one. Because we just talked about this.

1:09:00 We did. Yes, that's correct.

1:09:01 Film spawning SVU.

1:09:03 The other one is another recent film. We did not talk about it on the show, but it came out earlier this year.

1:09:11 And it's about time travel?

1:09:14 Yes.

1:09:16 It stars. Would you like to know the star of the film?

1:09:18 Yeah, we're going to have to.

1:09:20 Sam Rockwell is the time traveler.

1:09:24 I didn't see this.

1:09:25 Clearly.

1:09:27 Okay.

1:09:27 Don't say good luck. Don't die. something like that. Don't say good luck.

1:09:34 Don't say, don't say, I got it.

1:09:36 I got it. Don't say good luck. Have fun. Don't die.

1:09:41 You got it. Don't say good luck and good luck.

1:09:44 Have fun.

1:09:45 Don't die. Don't say good luck. Don't die.

1:09:51 It's a tie, but it's my turn to host the game. It's been a couple of times, right? You guys posted. So it's a tie officially.

1:09:58 It's a tie, but Sam wins. I would like to point out, by the way, that Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is actually a pretty cool movie. It's not a masterpiece.

1:10:05 Wait, so you did see it?

1:10:07 I saw it. I forgot. I didn't remember.

1:10:09 I described it in detail.

1:10:12 There's so much weird shit going on in that movie. It's like an omnibus film, really. It's a collection of short films with a very loose thread connecting them. And I had forgotten that there was time travel involved. Now that you say it, I do remember that.

1:10:25 Time travel involving a dirty and disheveled man who's trying to stop a rogue artificial intelligence.

1:10:30 I mean, that is, that is the central premise of the movie, but I kind of forgot that. Uh, good, good, good movie. Good game.

1:10:35 That's great.

1:10:36 I love the portmanteau to toe.

1:10:40 There we go.

1:10:41 The other here, I'll just run down as I did the last time. Here are the other ones that I didn't come up with descriptions for, but as I was trying to come up with the names, I had the school for good and evil dead. Oh, I had good time after time. And this one, I was like, well, I can't do that, but I definitely want to say it on the podcast. The good German knee year zero.

1:11:06 All right.

1:11:11 That's all I got.

1:11:12 That would have been tough.

1:11:14 Hard to write a plot synopsis combining those two movies.

1:11:19 That was awesome. And now is the time on the show when we very quickly run down What's coming new to streaming that is available if you want to pay a little extra, if you already subscribe, or what's direct to streaming? And I'll get the story started. First, by saying, these are theatrical releases that are now available to rent and buy. So they're just out of the theater, or they may still even be in the theater. Fall 2!

1:11:48 Fall 2! Dead Point, a fight for survival on Thailand's Mount Kwan, directed by the Sparig brothers, who did Predestination, Jigsaw, and Daybreakers. I saw Fall 1. You loved Fall. And I really liked Fall. You loved Fall. I really did.

1:12:02 I know you do.

1:12:02 You've talked to me about it. I love it. It's just a great, simple movie about two dopey girls who climb up to the top of a tower and can't get down. I don't know what Fall 2 is about. I know that it was in theaters, and for a minute I was like, I want to go see it.

1:12:15 It was in and out. It's about people trying not to fall off something. I think they're on a mountain this time.

1:12:22 You know what I love about Fall? The first Fall is- They almost fall? The person who directed Fall also did 47 meters down. So this guy loves things that are too low and they're too high. That's what he loves. He doesn't like being on sea level. Anything other than that.

1:12:38 That's boring.

1:12:40 Fall 1 is quite good. I love that movie.

1:12:43 I admit I never saw Fall and I have not seen Fall 2 Deadpoint.

1:12:48 Next up, Insidious, out of the further. I'm done with the Insidious franchise. No interest. Willem Dafoe in Kent Jones's Late Fame. I heard this was quite good.

1:12:59 Okay.

1:13:00 Kent Jones has made some very good movies. He directed– oh, he did the documentary about Hitchcock, Hitchcock Truffaut.

1:13:06 He did that.

1:13:07 He did that other movie. It's a woman's name. It's like called Bertha or Sarah or.

1:13:12 Are you thinking of Diane perhaps?

1:13:14 Diane. That's what he made, Diane. Well, you know, it's a name. He did that movie Diane. which starred Mary Kay Place and Estelle Parsons, Andrea Martin is in it. It's really, really, really good. It's a character driven drama. So it's not like fall two or anything.

1:13:31 Right.

1:13:31 Late fame. I haven't seen Willem Dafoe. I think plays an act, is an actor or a writer or something who's never quite been a success his whole life. And then at the end of his life, he becomes a success.

1:13:41 He's a poet.

1:13:41 He's a poet. And he gets sort of, yeah, this collective of young poets sort of celebrates him. He was never, never famous. And they champion his early... Did you see it, Sam? I didn't, but... You just know that you don't know more about it. I know the plot description.

1:13:55 Okay.

1:13:56 It sounds very touching and probably very good and a fulfilling drama.

1:14:00 Ken Jones is a very good film critic as well.

1:14:02 Yeah, yeah.

1:14:02 He got his start as a film critic.

1:14:04 Yes.

1:14:05 And he also used to be the headmacher at the New York Film Festival and Lincoln Center. And then he's left.

1:14:10 He's pals with Scorsese. He's done things with Scorsese as well. So, yeah.

1:14:15 Yeah, I've met the guy. Have you met the guy? Nice guy.

1:14:17 I don't know if I've ever met him. I'm not sure.

1:14:18 I've met the guy. Yeah, like once or twice. All right. Also, Spider-Man Brand New Day. Everybody knows about Spider-Man. We don't have to say too much about it. But if you missed it in theaters, you can rent it for not $ 3. 99 yet, for probably like $ 14. 99, but get the whole family together. And lastly, Adam Wingard's Onslaught with the star Adria Arjona. She plays an army sniper fighting genetically engineered super soldiers.

1:14:43 Hey, there you go. Yes. From the director of The Guest, that premise certainly has some potential.

1:14:50 Yeah, Adam Wingard made The Guest. He did some of the recent King Kong movies.

1:14:54 Yes.

1:14:54 And he started off his career doing more low-budget horror films, some of which are good and some of which are not good. Now, theatrical releases going to streaming channels. If you have Peacock, which is the channel that nobody has except for when it's the Olympics. But maybe Disclosure Day will, if you missed it in theaters. I like Disclosure Day a whole lot. I think Matt liked it somewhat.

1:15:16 I liked it. I think you liked it more than I did.

1:15:19 Yeah.

1:15:20 You got more caught up in the disclosures.

1:15:24 Yeah.

1:15:24 What with the star lug of it all. Okay. And other recent stuff that's now new to streaming, Zoe Kazan, the granddaughter of Elia Kazan, but also an actress and filmmaker in her own right, has adapted East of Eden for Netflix. Now, what makes this intriguing is that East of Eden, of course, is one of Ilya Kazan's great masterpieces.

1:15:47 It stars James Dean and others. And the book, East of Eden, is famously 3,000 pages long. The movie is just a sliver of the book. This series is going to do it up right. So the parts, I would imagine the parts that people.

1:16:03 And made by, and again, it's Ilya Kazan's granddaughter is the one making it, which is kind of surreal.

1:16:09 Yeah, so the premise, you know, I would imagine that the stuff that, if you've seen the East of Eden, the original from the 50s, That section, which involves lettuce. There's a lot of lettuce in that. Wilted lettuce. I'm serious. If you've ever seen Wilted Lettuce, it's about wilted lettuces and brothels. That's what East of Eden is about with James Dean.

1:16:27 I got to say, with that material, why you wouldn't call your movie Lettuces and Brothels? That's a better title than East of Eden. I'm sorry.

1:16:36 The Trask Brothers, the eternal struggle between good and evil. Am I not my brother's keeper? No, it's about wilted lettuce at the brothel.

1:16:43 That's right.

1:16:43 Florence Pugh. Everybody loves Florence Pugh, myself included. I adore her. She's wonderful. She is in the new East of Eden, as is Christopher Abbott, the very handsome and brooding actor, Christopher Abbott. That's on the Big Red One Netflix.

1:16:58 The director of Fall would not make East of Eden. North of Eden or South of Eden, maybe. But East or West of Eden? Not interested.

1:17:07 All right, a few more and then I'll knock it over to Matt. We've got Carrie. Stephen King, the original film version.

1:17:16 Another former movie now being turned into a television show. A sign of the times, says I.

1:17:22 I mean, Carrie has been in every format imaginable. Of course, it started off, it was the first novel that Stephen King wrote. It made a mint. It allowed him to quit his teaching job at the age of 25 or something like that and devote himself to writing ever since. He's been pounding out Work ever since Carrie, a big, big, big, you know, the story of Carrie was that he started writing it and he threw it in the garbage. It's like, ah, this sucks. And his wife, who's a writer in her own right, Tabitha King, fished it out of the garbage.

1:17:48 And she's like, Steve, this is all like, what happens next?

1:17:51 And he's like, I don't know.

1:17:52 I'm not going to write any more of that. He's like, no, this is good. Finish this. And so behind every man is a great woman. That story is a great example of it. Which service is it? We don't have it written down.

1:18:02 It's on Amazon.

1:18:03 On Amazon, yeah.

1:18:04 It's a Prime Video release.

1:18:05 It's the guy.

1:18:06 And it's Mike Flanagan.

1:18:07 It's the Flanagan. He's the guy.

1:18:08 Doctor Sleep, Haunting.

1:18:10 Of Hill House, Gerald's Games.

1:18:12 Yes, he has a lot of horror experience. He has a lot of Stephen King experience. It seems like the perfect marriage of film or TV maker and subject. And yeah, it's a miniseries version instead of a film or another film or a remake or Carrie the Musical. I assume it's not a TV version of Carrie the Musical, although I might be excited if it was.

1:18:37 That would be interesting. I mean, I'm a little carried out, I guess. I mean, the original Carrie, Brian De Palma, Sissy Spacek, Amy Irving, John Travolta is a masterpiece. Came out right, you know, they turned that around quickly. Like that really helped King. become Stephen King was the fact that the movie version of Carrie came out just when his like second or third book was coming out. Carrie was a big success. And then, of course, there was a remake, The Rage, Carrie, the prequel or whatever. And then there was a musical, which was a notorious bomb.

1:19:07 But now it's back in TV form. Also on Netflix, Animals. Ben Affleck's kidnapping thriller with Ben Affleck.

1:19:16 I just love how you say Ben Affleck's name. You always say it that way.

1:19:19 I think it's pronounced Affleck. I think that's what he does. Only by you. Well, I don't want to give it an Afflectation. I'm going to say it's Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington, Stephen Ewan, who I love, and Gillian Anderson. She's hot. She's having a hot 2026. She's in everything. Animals. Also on Apple, here it comes, the big one you've been waiting for, Matchbox the movie. Much like Barbie was about a doll, Matchbox is about a car.

1:19:48 I guess a reunion of former childhood friends takes a turn when they get embroiled in a dangerous international plot That involves driving a car upside down in one of those cool loop-de-loop tracks, I hope. John Cena is in it. Sam Hargrave, who directed the Extraction movies, which are dumb, but actually not that bad from a choreography point of view.

1:20:13 I think Extraction 2 is particularly impressive from the how the hell did they shoot that point of view. So that's Matchbox with John Cena. What are you going to do? Matt, you take it from here.

1:20:23 All right. And finally, also available. These are all on October 9th. Finally, on Disney Plus and Hulu, the Oasis concert documentary, Don't Look Back in Anger, which I'm looking forward to seeing. I didn't get to see Oasis on their reunion tour, but I certainly listened to a lot of Oasis in the 90s. So I will be watching that.

1:20:44 And finally, on October 10th, Also on Hulu is Adam Scott in Hocum, which was a theatrical release that's now going to be available on streaming. Look, it's October. This is when horror movies are, that's what everyone wants. And so that's what's, there's a lot of horror films and also Matchbox for some reason. In terms of next week, we're unsure, but because it's terrifying-tober, whatever we're calling it.

1:21:16 Spooktober.

1:21:17 Uh, frightening Tober. We are, we're talking about a few options. Uh, one of which is the Carrie limited series, which we just discussed. Maybe we'll watch a couple of episodes of that. And if we liked it, we could even, you know, keep watching it on a future episode potentially. Or the other thing that I think is already available to stream. That's, It got like– I don't even think it ever actually played in theaters really, but it played– it went straight to VOD is Soulmate or Soulmate. It's S-O-U-L-M, the number eight T-E, which is streaming on Hulu, which was supposed to be like the big– we're taking Megan, the horror movie, the recent horror movie, horror comedy, Megan. And, oh, it's so popular. Everyone loves it. We're going to make it

1:22:07 a cinematic universe. And they made a sequel and they made a spinoff in the same fictional universe. And then Megan 2 bombed, absolutely just pooped the bed in theaters. And basically when that movie pooped the bed, I think that was the writing was on the wall for Soulmate. And they kind of just, they just kind of dumped it on VOD. And now it is on Hulu, but...

1:22:30 I mean, could it be worse than some of the dreck that we've watched on this show? I don't know. I think maybe Carrie might be more interesting, but I'm sure it would also be a lot longer, even if we watched just a couple of episodes. But maybe we'll have to do that.

1:22:42 I have a hunch Carrie might be the more rich meal. Yes. But hats off, though, to Soulmate. I wish you well. I did really, really like... If you Google my name and review of Megan 2.0, I actually did stump for it pretty hard. I'm the only one.

1:22:59 I know.

1:22:59 And that was why I thought that might be a good thing to review on the show. But we'll see.

1:23:04 We're going to discuss it.

1:23:05 It'll be something scary adjacent, I think, is what we're saying here.

1:23:09 Yes. And Matt, by the way, people listening, if they live in which town, can they see you and get an autograph of your book?

1:23:16 That's right. By the time you're listening to this, it's on or after October 6th. Funny business. My new book is available. You can order it online. You can buy it at your local bookstore. I will be doing a book signing October 6th, the day it comes out. At Barnes & Noble on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. If you want to come get a signed copy in person. Bilga Abiri, the great film critic, will be joining me there doing a Q & A and discussion. And then that weekend on Sunday, October 11th, I will be at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena, California. La La Land. My first book signing in L.A. I didn't do one for funny business. And at that one, I'll be having a conversation with Tim Grierson, the great film critic. Oh, nice guy.

1:24:05 By the way, you screwed up the name of your own book. You didn't do it for opposable thumbs is what you meant to say.

1:24:10 Sorry, sorry.

1:24:11 My stand corrected. Yes. That's all right. So this week, that's where I'll be. And then we can talk about the other signings when they come up, when they get closer. But yeah.
