Back to the old school format of summarising a horror movie. Great! It worked so well.
I was listening to Quentin Tarantino’s podcast recently. It can be found here:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-video-archives-podcast-with-quentin-tarantino/id1627069896
Similar format to to Hack the Movies. It’s Quentin Tarantino and the guy who co-directed Pulp Fiction or something. And in each podcast they talk about two or three movies. One after another.
But here’s where it differs: they’re not just going over the fucking movie scene by scene. They’re having an intelligent conversation about the movie. And I haven’t even seen any of the movies that they talk about or even 90% of references that they reference within these talks but I’m still able to listen, follow along, and enjoy it. This shit doesn’t insult your intelligence.
Well…usually. There’s like a 24 year old female co-host they also bring in for her own segments and she’s awful. Clearly just there to pander to some kind of diversity quota. We need to hear a woman’s perspective.
But all it does is highlight how fucking bad she is compared to Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. They’re having an intelligent conversation about cinema and then they kick it to Briana who says, “Dur…I like colours.”
Maybe it’s intentional. Because they didn’t have to get this 24 year old woman. They could have got somebody nearer to their own age. Somebody who actually knows something about movies and can have an intelligent discussion about it.
Oh. I looked it up. This is Gala Avary, daughter of the guy I never heard of who’s the co-host of this thing. Now it’s starting to make sense. Some of that glorious nepotism that everybody enjoys.
Anyway, on to the talented Mr Piluso.
0:15 – The co-host is Joey C from Screen Rant. He’s REALLY annoying. But maybe he’ll tone it down as we go on. Come on. Give him a chance.
This guy has an earing in each ear. When I was a kid, the rumours around the schoolyard were that if you had an earing in your left ear, you were gay. Or something. I’m not sure which ear it is. But one ear was the gay ear.
Because back then, this was the 1980s, straight men were getting earrings. But just one. It’s crazy. Why was this popular?
But here we have a guy getting BOTH ears pierced. This solves the problem of not knowing which ear is the gay ear. This faggot probably didn’t know which ear was the gay ear either. So he went to the piercer and said, “You better pierce them both just to make sure.”
Let me look this up. Is in this fashion now? I haven’t seen guys with pierced ears, either or both, in ages. Maybe I’m crazy.
Yeah. I searched for “guys pierced ears” and the results were:
“Which ear should straight guys pierce?”
“Is it normal for guys to have their ears pierced?”
“Do straight guys have both ears pierced?”
Shit like this. So it seems like this is still a gay thing. There’s still a stigma over which ear should be pierced. And the consensus seems to be that only gay men have both ears pierced.
This isn’t really related but for some reason, I’m reminded of a Dave Chappelle routine where he talks about how AIDS came from guys in Africa having sex with monkeys. And years ago I had a discussion with some nerd on the internet about this. This guy insisted that the whole routine was made up.
But no. I was taught the same thing. I was told that AIDS came from guys in Africa having sex with chimpanzees. It was somehow forbidden to have sex with a woman while she was menstruating so when their wives were having their period, these guys would go out and fuck chimps.
I don’t know if this is true. I don’t know how widespread this practice was. I don’t know what the religion was. But I was definitely told this, by a teacher, in a classroom, during a sex education class. This is what was being taught as late as 1994.
1:15 – Tony goes over his thought process on what movie to pick. “What do people on my show like? They like 90s kind of horror stuff.”
Just concentrate on putting out a good product.
1:30 – This guy says that he’s 26. What is he doing with his life?
Oh, I’m looking up the Wikipedia article for The Faculty. It says that the movie has “developed a cult following.” Tony used this exact phrase earlier in the review. Way to do your research, Tony. Wikipedia dot com.
3:30 – Tony is just reading a list of songs from this movie. He’s up to like 20. It just keeps going. This is not entertaining material.
5:15 – Now he’s listing everyone who appeared in the movie. Come on. This is terrible and he knows it.
Here’s Joey’s Twitter.

“Aspiring film editor and Barber but more importantly I’m a father to the greatest son.”
And there’s a picture of a baby. What? How did this guy…with a woman? I don’t think so.
11:15 – Tony answers a phone call from some scammer or something. Why is this happening?
I made it to 20 minutes. It’s tough to describe. This guy is annoying but…it’s watchable. But I don’t want to watch any more. So…I don’t know
