MM28 - Shriekquels feat. Andrew Hudson
Added 2024-10-09 15:16:18 +0000 UTCMovie Mindset brings you a bone-chilling double billing based on the scariest concept in all of cinema: The Sequel!
That’s right, returning ghost Andrew Hudson of E1 & Pop That Corn joins Thrill and Hexe for a Movie Mindset first: an episode centered around the Shriekquels of two boovies we’ve covered before:
Drawing (bright red) first blood is the zombie movie of all zombie movies: 1978’s Dawn of the Dead! George Romero’s colorful follow-up to the Ur-Zombie flick Night of the Living Dead, with twice the social critique and much more than thrice the headshots.
And the final girl? 1986’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, the movie that answers the question “how do you make a worthy sequel to the greatest movie ever made?” With a joke so cutting it could clear a forest and a mic drop that hits harder than its Torch Song needledrop.
What do these movies have to say about America? How could they possibly hold up to the classics they follow?? Did the casts play pranks on each other on the set??? Listen to find out! If you dare…. Mwahahahaha
Come see Andrew & Will live at our 11/4 Election Eve show in LA with E1: https://link.dice.fm/b1eb3de54f54

2024-11-14 01:05:27 +0000 UTCYeah Andrew it's really "awful" to rewatch one of the greatest movies ever made. How soft is this guy?

2024-10-28 22:19:46 +0000 UTCI was just about to comment on that after hearing Hessa list their names. Knowing McFarlane, that can’t be a coincidence

2024-10-22 00:48:38 +0000 UTCI believe the funny ‘clown song! from Dawn also was the theme of a 70’s game show. Maybe ‘The Dating Game’ even (or one of those) which given the context of the film makes it even funnier. Also yes, goddamn, they die love a good pie fight in the 70s - sadly finally kind of went out of style in the 80s.

2024-10-20 17:54:19 +0000 UTCI made sure to catch TCM2 before listening, and very glad I did. Just want to say, kudos on the edit Hesse. I really enjoyed hearing more clip drops from the films being discussed! Podcasts really need to be way less afraid of doing that.

2024-10-16 21:31:31 +0000 UTCWould love to see a ghoulie screamset episode on Argentinian director Demián Rugna and his movies “Terrified” and “When Evil Lurks” both of them are fantastic “When Evil Lurks” is the only COVID movie that will ever accurately depict what 2020-2021 actually felt like and it doesn’t even reference COVID here’s to hoping for 2025 :)

2024-10-16 02:55:38 +0000 UTCYou should be more mad about the fact that I very intentionally never mentioned that in the BTS Kit Carson says Stretch is Lefty’s illegitimate daughter lol

2024-10-12 06:21:59 +0000 UTCI dunno if anyone had mentioned it and maybe it’s just a coincidence but the main American Dad sitcom cast characters are, Roger, Steve and Francine. Is there a Stan in this movie? Need to rewatch and IMBD is vague. It’s probably just my personal bipolar mental breakdown but….

Dustin Nelson
2024-10-10 17:36:48 +0000 UTCWell that comes AFTER Dawn so....
Dustin Nelson
2024-10-10 17:34:03 +0000 UTCApparently in the original script its "Slaughter" not Sawyer, which explains some stuff in the TCM game since their license is just for the first film and its unused materials/characters
Dustin Nelson
2024-10-10 17:31:50 +0000 UTCA little bit here and there but not a whole segment
Dustin Nelson
2024-10-10 17:30:12 +0000 UTCThat is franklin though
Dustin Nelson
2024-10-10 17:29:25 +0000 UTCHaving a huge amount of BTS knowledge on both TCMs it does bug me hearing "Pa Sawyer" because it's been confirmed multiple times by the writers and Hooper that the cook/Drayton is an older brother and not their dad
Dustin Nelson
2024-10-10 17:29:02 +0000 UTCthe gag where dennis hopper finds a skeleton in the wheelchair and starts talking to it like its his nephew and then it cuts to stretch and there's a completely different skeleton in a wheelchair next to her

Ian Woods
2024-10-10 14:57:00 +0000 UTCRight, another thing: in "the half has never been told", it's alleged that "zombie" was a term first coined by caribbean slaves describing the slaves who had been worn down and emaciated by the working conditions. Old-timers, relatively speaking, who were barely alive and just going through the motions. So, another race thing to ruminate on.
Doug Cartel
2024-10-10 14:09:21 +0000 UTCDid I Mandela Effect a memory of TCM2 being covered in a past season? Maybe it was touched on during the TCM1 episode?
Boaz Corey
2024-10-10 13:42:58 +0000 UTCCrazy that TCM 2 is the same year as Blue Velvet, Hoosiers, and one of my all time fav movies River's Edge. Hopper was Hoppin'
Ben_Grimm_13
2024-10-10 12:22:37 +0000 UTCNow that I looked it up when was”OC Stuggs” —Altman apparently made it a few years earlier and the theaters run was after 1986. The 85 date is just when it was copyrighted
Hardcore Virgin
2024-10-10 11:01:24 +0000 UTCOC Stiggs was 1985. 86 Hopper was in Blue Velvet. Rivers Edge Hoosiers and TCM2.
Hardcore Virgin
2024-10-10 10:53:53 +0000 UTCI now need Hesse to break into every episode with a correction or elaboration. Gold.

2024-10-10 04:13:08 +0000 UTC“It is something from something”—she’s really bringing her a game here.
Hardcore Virgin
2024-10-10 04:05:53 +0000 UTCI would think Evil Dead II would be the perfect example of a great horror sequel alongside Dawn, but I've never seen TCM2 so what do I know
Gordon Schmidt
2024-10-10 04:00:27 +0000 UTCI only realized just now why their last name is Sawyer.

2024-10-10 03:21:41 +0000 UTCI appreciate the accountability

2024-10-10 02:40:24 +0000 UTCI realized that while editing the ep and felt stupid for not noticing it before lmao. 26 uncredited library tracks!!

Jake
2024-10-09 22:55:23 +0000 UTCLove the MM pods and appreciate that recounting the plot of the movies during an open discussion must be tricky.. but the use of "like" is out of control this episode. Sorry to be that guy! Maybe it's just me

James Wallace
2024-10-09 20:08:41 +0000 UTCmaybe it's my personal obsessions, but between the location, the small-business fascism, and the horrific human meat, I've always heard "I love Dallas because Dallas loves prime meats!" as a JFK rattle

2024-10-09 19:31:46 +0000 UTCI’m a zombie movie fan and a helicopter pilot. When they refuel the helicopter they stick the nozzle in the step you’d use to climb up to the top of the helicopter, not the fuel port which is on the other side.

Eric Murphy
2024-10-09 18:09:16 +0000 UTCOn the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack. A lot of the music (the muzak, goofy clown tunes and the weird triumph music at the end) is library music. Romero loved using library music. IIRC, the Euro cut has more Goblin in it.
Jim Veil
2024-10-09 18:00:10 +0000 UTChaxan, thank you for your explanation about the death of protagonists before night o the living dead. my perception is that movie mindset only comes from a place of love so i wd be surprised if any commenters say anything. the rest of this meaningless comment will express......ghoulive 5evah!
wailing ken jennings
2024-10-09 17:56:23 +0000 UTCRomero originally tried to get Dawn made in 1973/1974, after his career was stalled and he was deep in debt post-Crazies. In his first draft the zombies were intelligent and had more or less taken over the operations of 70s capitalism, including a kind of regional distribution system sending butchered human meat out into the world in trucks. He tried to get it made at AIP, which was interested if Romero made it an all-Black cast and cast a sports star in the lead. AIP was probably thinking of Jim Brown, but Romero's first impulse was to get the dude he'd just made a TV documentary about. So I like to think that somewhere in the multiverse there's a low budget, quick and dirty version of Dawn that came out in 1974, starring OJ Simpson.

Doug Cartel
2024-10-09 17:14:06 +0000 UTCGotta say, Romero made a great call making 'Dawn of the Dead' about Americans killing off vast hordes of natives to clear a space for treats.

2024-10-09 16:58:38 +0000 UTCWould be amusing to see someone compare/contrast romeros' critiques of americas violence culture via zombie movies with that dogshit zombie film Range 15 or whatever chapo reviewed years ago
Doug Cartel
2024-10-09 16:45:59 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to hear it. Deadmalls did a video from Monroeville Mall and found all the fake plastic plants are the same as the ones in the Dawn of the Dead, with 40 years of dust on them.

GG Allin Dulles
2024-10-09 16:03:21 +0000 UTCForreal the bridge scene in TCM2 with "No One Lives Forever" blasting over it was more exciting, like i5 was every weird, silly and grim thing I enjoy in media all at once and left me wanting to see every 80s movie I'd never heard of before. TCM2 made me realize I've always loved this stuff and to stop letting the crap baggage from my religious upbringing stop me from accepting it. It was like how people describe taking stuff like DMT
