Welcome to Eye On Horror any official podcast of ihorror.com This is episode 104 Otherwise known as season six, Episode Five. I think I have those numbers right but who knows anymore? I am your host James Jay Edwards and with me as always is your other host Jacob Davison, how're you doing Jacob?
Jacob Davidson:Doing better, Jaws recovering pretty well from my surgeries, so I'm pretty happy about that.
James Jay Edwards:He just gave me an idea for a new horror movie called JAWS
Jacob Davidson:it'd be very different kinds of Jaws.
James Jay Edwards:I'm glad you're feeling better. Did you get the good drugs?
Jacob Davidson:Um,
James Jay Edwards:good painkillers?
Jacob Davidson:Well yeah, I mean I got painkillers but like nothing that intense like the the real good stuff were these THC mints I got that helped a lot.
James Jay Edwards:All we THC is always the good stuff. Also with us as always is your other other host Jon Correia How you doing? Correia
Jonathan Correia:I got a low grade fever so apologies if my voice sounds worse than usual but you know still here still excited.
James Jay Edwards:We're getting fever dream Correia today.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, you are so delayed responses and out of you know nowhere things to think you see you do
James Jay Edwards:what?
Jonathan Correia:I'm one of those babies I if I get like minor cold or something. It's like full body shutdown full body egg should like it's it's it's funny. I could break. I can. I'm a tough woodsmen. So if I get injured like you know I can handle it. But if I get sick, no, it's big baby. Like I will. I'm the guy who's on the couch. Go. I have a cold Lindsey just put me out of my misery. Here's my will and testament. No, no, you just have a low grade fever. I tell my family. I didn't care for their casseroles.
James Jay Edwards:Well, I'm coming off of this. Basically it was 144 hour shift doing this youth hockey tournament for work. So as a result, I haven't seen anything new since last time we talked so this this catch up part of this episode is going to be pretty much all you guys. What are you guys been seeing? Let me live vicariously? Well.
Jonathan Correia:I finally saw 65 the other day. Did you guys
Jacob Davidson:No,
James Jay Edwards:I want to so but they didn't screen for press see that yet? though. Which is usually a bad sign. Is it a bad sign?
Jonathan Correia:Listen, we we No one saw that trailer expecting you know the next Oscar Bait, you know, fucking best piture of the year,
James Jay Edwards:but it's from the writers of A Quiet Place. Yeah, no. Oscar nominee Adam Driver.
Jonathan Correia:No one thought Adam Driver Fighting Dinosaurs with future weapons was going to be the next Citizen Kane and anyone who did as a fool. That being said, I enjoyed the fuck out of it. It was basically like a big budget B movie. With its concept. Everything about it was B movie, but elevated. And I had a lot of fun with it. I always have fun with with like the hard science of things. So some of the dinosaurs were more like giant reptilians that you could see like, oh, yeah, that definitely evolved into something else down the road. Things of that nature. One of the things I really appreciated about it was it's that you know, father and child, father figure and child traveling across big which is real big these days. Yeah, no, everyone is trying to do a Mandalorian Last of Us type thing
Jacob Davidson:All about the dads.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, it's all about the hot dads these these days. And one thing I liked about it was the girl he saves. They don't speak the same language. So there's like a language barrier between them. Which I was like, that's a really cool angle, but the entire movie, he's trying to teach her his words, but he's not trying to learn her. Her words, you know, typical white guy shit. But the dinosaurs were cool. There was a surprising amount of jumpscares and I'd say about 95% of them were very effective on me, especially the first one. The first one draws you in with this like beautiful, like, wide view of this like landscape where you're just seeing dinosaurs roam and it's like, oh, fuck, this is so cool. And me being a dinosaur kid was just like, leaning on the edge of my seat like looking at it and also just jumps out at my face. So I had a lot of fun with it.
James Jay Edwards:Do you remember that episode of the classic Twilight Zone where Basically, I think I might even be called Two. They're just two people on
Jacob Davidson:with Charles Bronson
James Jay Edwards:and B Witched, whatever her name is, Samantha from B, which she? Basically, the big twist on it, and this is, you know, 60 or 70 years old, so I'm not spoiling anything is their Adam and Eve. But the way that they explained it the language difference because they don't speak the same language is the the man who the white man who speaks English, he actually says these all well, we're stuck here. I guess whoever smarter will learn the other's language. So he's basically conceding that the woman is the smarter of the two because they turn into Adam and Eve and speak English, which is kind of ridiculous. Because, you know, Adam and Eve speaking English is kind of ridiculous. But anyway, that's how they explained it in The Twilight Zone. Language thing.
Jonathan Correia:I need to do a a big watch of The Twilight Zone. I feel although, because of our topic this morning, I did find out that Tubi has Grady on it, so I think I might be doing that first. But yeah, 65 is a lot of fun. Again, like, don't go in expecting like the most incredible thing ever, but it's a lot of fun. There's a lot of great like, action, and a lot of great, you know, running around and it's dinosaurs man, like, come on, and future tech, like that's cool.
Jacob Davidson:And how did the dinosaurs look?
Jonathan Correia:They look dope. There's a few moments where it was very menacing. Especially with like the T Rex that's kind of chasing them the whole time. There's a few parts with it. That's a little silly, but, ya know, dinosaurs were great. Adam Driver was, you know, perfectly fine in that role. And yeah, I enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun with it. And it actually has the, the girl who plays his daughter, not the one that he not the daughter figure in the movie, but he has a daughter that prior to the movie is the same actress who's also in Dungeons and Dragons, who plays Chris Pine's daughter
Jacob Davidson:in Oh, right.
Jonathan Correia:So it's funny because I saw 65 on like Thursday, and then saw Dungeons& Dragons on Friday. And I was like,
Jacob Davidson:I think that's Chloe Coleman. Yes. Yeah, she
Jonathan Correia:was great in both but
Jacob Davidson:and she's also in Avatar To/2
Jonathan Correia:Wow She's blowing up. She just did all of it. But speaking of Dungeons and Dragons,
Jacob Davidson:yeah.
James Jay Edwards:The king of transitions. Honor
Jonathan Correia:Honor Among Thieves. Yeah, that was that was trying to do a transition there. I don't know how smooth it was. But hey, the blade landed. That's all that matters.
James Jay Edwards:If you could walk away from it.
Jonathan Correia:I mean, I landed that, like the plane in Yellowjackets. So yeah.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, no, I really dug the Dungeons & Dragons movie. It's a lot of fun. You know, because it's like it just a fantasy adventure comedy. And also and also I do fig that falls within the realm of horror because you know, you got you got ghouls you got people eating dragons and monsters and stuff and splash melting gelatinous cubes. So yeah, no, I think there there was some decent scares in there.
Jonathan Correia:I love it when people say ghouls. Or ghouls. Ghouls is a fun word. I think it used to be brought back more Lindsey scared me the other day like she popped up behind me and I immediately just went AH GHOUL. I don't think she's I think she's still mad at me for that one. But
Jacob Davidson:and now it's forever recorded on the podcast.
Jonathan Correia:But Dungeons and Dragons. I played D&D in high school a little bit, but I wasn't good. And I wasn't the best Participant I was definitely the annoying ADHD kid who kept trying to derail everything, you know. And since then, I haven't really played but my partner Lindsey plays it all the time. And so it was really interesting seeing something where she's more of the expert in it than I am because usually like we go see a Marvel movie I go hey, that's the guy who eventually becomes you know, the green something sorry, sick brain come up with clever quips that fast but
James Jay Edwards:Thats the Iron giant
Jonathan Correia:Yeah.
Jacob Davidson:The Green Giant
Jonathan Correia:a big A becomes a green Iron Giant. But no, they definitely made something that was accessible for non D&D people that were but also capturing a lot of moments that are very D&D. So like very early on in the movie, Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez are stuck in a prison and how they escaped the prison is one of the most D&D things were because they basically I don't want to spoil it fully, but they basically escaped the prison in the stupidest way possible. And I could just picture like, you know, like the DM just being like, that's not your plan. And like, Yeah, we're gonna do that. It's like no, no, it's not alright, fine. Roll initiative. Holy fuck yeah. Okay, so yeah, yeah, yeah, escaped the prison that way, but like, you could feel the frustration behind. And I really enjoyed that. They did a lot of that and weren't trying to go super meta with a lot of things because you could have easily gotten meta with this and had shown the hands and do like a Lego Movie, you know, at the end where they show like the father and the kid with it. They could have done that, but no, they just went. Now we're doing like a funny fantasy romp set in the world of D&D and it was really cool. I had a lot of fun with it. We also got the D20. Giant popcorn buckets from AMC. We don't know what to do with it. I'm thinking like, plants or cookie jar or I don't know,
James Jay Edwards:I will forever be upset that they didn't end the series of Game of Thrones by just zooming out and having the whole show have been a bunch of kids in a basement playing Dungeons & Dragons.
Jacob Davidson:There was a joke alternate ending where it would have turned out to be a Westworld thing.
James Jay Edwards:I think the D&D one would have been better than the actual ending. So would Westworld, though,
Jacob Davidson:and also I got to say I really love the effects in Dungeon & Dragons because they did a lot of practical mix with CGI, like they had like, dragging people puppets and a lot of the monsters were practical, or mixed with CGI that looked pretty cool. Also, again with the ghouls practical effects ghouls is just like dudes and heavy makeup and with fake like some animatronics and false limbs and stuff. And also the graveyard scene is one of my favorites of this year. Because basically, they need information. So they have a spell where they can resurrect corpses, to ask a few questions. And it goes bad as well as you would expect it to go in a D&D campaign. So yeah, no, I really loved that bit.
Jonathan Correia:That was great. Because they showed they released a clip from that as like the first one where they resurrect the first buddy and they essentially waste all five questions, because you only get five questions and like, Wait, does that count as a question? He's like, Yeah, and he's like shit. Now we only have 4 questions. Is that when it got to that bit, I was like, Oh man, we already know this whole sequence a released a clip ahead of time. But no, it just keeps going they keep bringing up bodies and it was like a hey, were you involved in this battle? Oh, what do you remember before you died? Oh, so you died before the battle fuck we got to resurrect another one and they just gotta kept going. And it was so funny because again having that invisible hand of the of the players a DM in the back of the mind while it's going Lindsey is just like the DM would never let them keep going that often he would who would have just given up and like but let the movie have it you know? Also owl bear fucking awesome.
Jacob Davidson:Oh yeah. Oh bear ruled.
Jonathan Correia:My only complaint is there were no Beholders which is really sexy use a the image of the beholder align the marketing. But the beholder is is like big round guy with a big mouth at one eye and he's got tentacles coming out of it. It's very Lovecraftian looking at
Jacob Davidson:Oh, yeah, like, it looks like the Cacodemon from Doom.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, exactly. And I no beholders. I was I was so excited to see some beboulders, but there were only
James Jay Edwards:were there any kobolds
Jacob Davidson:No
James Jay Edwards:Kobolds were always my jam in D&D,
Jacob Davidson:we got the gelatinous cube,
Jonathan Correia:you got the gelatinous cube and there was a really great bit with a mimic. That was basically the whole labyrinth scene was awesome. But yeah, and then of course, Xenit Yendar was probably one of the best characters basically, like the group is going on this adventure. They run into this guy introduced to being just like, very straightforward. He's not joking. He's badass. He goes, this is the thing you need. And he gets there. He's basically like the ultimate NPC character in a movie where he's just there to get you to the thing that you need to go into the next thing. And then when they, when they go to part ways. He starts walking off and they're like, Yep, there he goes, walking in a straight line. Is it gonna go around that rock? Is he gonna go over the rock? You just see him like still walking. He just like walks over over the rock of the jumps. They're still going in a straight line. It was like just proving like, Nope, he was an NPC character. It was perfect.
Jacob Davidson:And on the folk horror side of things I saw Enys Men the other day by Mark Jenkins, and I thought was pretty effective and very weird and surreal. Like characters don't even have names like the lead is just called the volunteer, played by Mary Woodvine. And yeah, it's basically set in the early 70s at this small uninhabited island off the coast of England. It's like this wildlife preserve where this woman lives alone in this cottage and she's observing the plant life for something. And as time goes on, just he starts to see thing like she sees these kind of hallucinations of like maybe shipwreck victims or like the original inhabitants of the island and like her own weird and traumatic past, and it has a real kind of dreamlike quality to it. Like I saw it theatrically and I feel like it had kind of a mesmerizing effect. There He really just kind of hooked me in. And like, I felt like I was having trouble discerning, you know, like what was real and what was actually happening in the context of the movie. So, ya know, I dug it like it really towed. It really did a lot with such kind of minimalist, plot, cast and budget.
Jonathan Correia:Oh, yeah, definitely adding that one to my list always on the lookout for new and interesting folk horror. But on the opposite side of the spectrum of horror, have you guys heard of the TV show Swarm?
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, I actually watched the first episode on Amazon. I've heard of
James Jay Edwards:it. I haven't gotten to it yet. Let me tell you list. It
Jonathan Correia:is nuts. It is crazy. It was co created with Donald Glover. And it's basically, ah, It's hard. It's a little hard to describe, but it's kind of like it's it's like a it's like a female serial killer show. That's like in the realm of the like House of Psychotic Women. You know, the type of stuff that like, were in that book. And it follows this fan named Dre played by Dominique Fishback, who is absolutely phenomenal In this show, she is fantastic. But she's obsessed with the singer who named Nyjah, who is basically Beyonce, and like, the thing about the show is that keep saying like this is based on truth or true events, any, you know, you know, when they usually have that warning, if any similarities to living people is is not true? No, they say any relation to living people is a Yeah, no, we're going for that. And it's really weird because you keep thinking like, why do they keep saying that, and it's mainly because they change everything up. And like the final two episodes like, you get into this kind of groove with the first few episodes and then it just flips it on its head again. But she basically loses her best friend and sister in the first episode, and that kind of puts her on the spiral where she goes on this killing spree, killing people who say bad things about the singer Nyjah while she's on her quest to get close to her and all this and there's some really great cameos Rory Culkin is in the first episode, and you get to see his penis, you know, so that's, that's cool. You get to see a Culkin penis. I will always it's kind of like when
James Jay Edwards:is it really him or is it a stunt penis?
Jonathan Correia:I would hope it was I mean it's it's it's honestly not flattering at all because he's like pressed up against a glass bowl of strawberries. So like I started referring to a miss Strawberry Shortcake but you know, but I know there's some like gnarly kills there's there's a lot of stuff going on like after first kill. She immediately like goes into the fridge and like stuffs pie into her face. But she like does it with like her two middle fingers. And it's it's a very weird, very uncomfortable, very like, oh, what's going on type show, but it's really well done. There's already some really great academic writing about it and its portrayal. But I think it's I think it's a really great addition to the, you know, psychotic women genre, those type of performances, you know, up there with like, you know, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane type deal,
Jacob Davidson:right?
James Jay Edwards:Mommy Dearest?
Jonathan Correia:Yeah. So yeah, it is kind of like Yeah, Mommy Dearest meets like Atlanta. A bit. Yeah. But it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend it. It's very, it's very easy watch. Like, each episode is around like a half hour or so like you could plow through it in an afternoon. But yeah, between that and Beef, the A24 show that just hit Netflix. We were halfway through that. And that was phenomenal to about Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, getting to like some road rage, road rage incident. And they basically just continue fucking with each other. And like destroying each other's lives, essentially. Like, there's a whole thing where Steven Yeun's character gets her driver's license, or driver's license plate number. And so he goes to her house because he's a contractor. And he's like, Oh, hey, I noticed that your roof was leaking all this stuff. So she invites him in and he's like, going through everything. He thinks it's the husband that like flipped him off and was honking at him. And then once he connects the dots and is like, No, it was her. What the fuck? Hey, can I use your restroom? Just pisses all over her bathroom. And like, there's this great realization where she realizes what happened and she's chasing him down the road screaming and they start playing music. You can't hear anything. But Steven Yeun just has like the dumbest fucking smile on his face as he's running. Oh, man. And that's just the first episode. It just keeps escalating from there. And yeah, it's really good. Yeah, so if you're looking for new TV to watch and TV shows that you can blast through very quickly. Swarm and Beef are both phenomenal. You had me at A24 TV,
Jacob Davidson:ya know, they've been doing pretty good with that.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, their TV division is really good too, because they also put out Ramy on Hulu. And then there's that, that space show where it's like astronauts out in the desert training.
Jacob Davidson:Oh, yeah, with Tim Heidecker and John C. Reilly and Fred Armisen.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, I started watching that but I think it was on Stars or something. So I had some like, weird weekend pass thing and it wasn't working or something. But their TV department doesn't put out much but it puts out bangers
Jacob Davidson:Thats true. On my end, I've got to see a lot of great repertory or recently. Like last week, they at the new Beverly they did a double feature of the House of the Devil and You're Next which of course, both late 2000s early 2010s Classics Yeah. And and AJ Bowen and Barbara Crampton, Adam Wingard, Simon Baron a bunch of people were there. So that was pretty cool.
James Jay Edwards:Was Ti West there?
Jacob Davidson:Sadly, no, yeah.
James Jay Edwards:Well, he was in boat or he was really directed. Yeah, it
Jacob Davidson:gets Yeah, he gets killed in You're Next as being the underground film director. Got some laughs
James Jay Edwards:playing himself in You're Next? Yeah, pretty much.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, no, they both still hold up really well. And it made a pretty good double feature since they're both basically about home invasions. And to get excited for Evil Dead Rise, I went to the Alamo screening of Evil Dead 2. And it was fun. It was an Evil Dead 2 party screening, you know, so they gave out little little props, little chainsaws, gummy eyes, everybody got a little Necronomicon notebook. And yeah, not just Evil Dead 2 is still just such a fantastic movie to watch on the big screen with a crowd and, like, I gotta give kudos to the fans because like, there was like a kid with a chainsaw with like an actual, like full sized chainsaw prop and dressed as Ash and like other people dressed as the characters. And yeah, now just makes me more excited for Evil Dead Rise. And coincidentally, tonight, at the arrow, we're doing a Easter screening of Donnie Darko, which was actually shot at the arrow, and we're playing the original Evil Dead in a double bill back, that's a movie, you know, Donnie goes to see in the context of the movie. So you know, it's just all these Evil Dead screenings all around
Jonathan Correia:around. That's awesome.
James Jay Edwards:This brings us to our topic, which was kind of inspired by an Onion article that I think we all saw. And by the time I can send it, by the time I could send it to Correia, he had already posted a screenshot of it to our Instagram. And it said, Tubi's CEOs, scouring Goodwill for DVDs to upload. And we've made no bones about how we love Tubi and Tubi is there, there has so much stuff on Tubi, they were kind of doing a little Tubi recommendations Tubi tribute episode right now. And one thing that I learned while preparing for this episode, and I don't know if you guys figured this out as well, is that Tubi the the categorizations. And listing is not, it's just scratching the surface. Everything that they have does not show up in their categorizations. And I, I find that the best way to approach Tubi is to go to Tubi. And if you want to see a movie, type it in the search bar, and probably 50% of the time it's there. I mean, it's crazy how much weird stuff is on Tubi. So we have come up with some stuff that maybe you wouldn't have found on Tubi. And we want you to check out on Tubi. And more importantly, it's available on Tubi. We came
Jonathan Correia:up with this idea a few days ago. And then after we did our own scouring did our own searching. I don't know about you guys, but I found a few Tubi divers already people that like do mass recommendations and do some like really great deep cuts out there. So I just want to say my list that I know our list aren't swayed by any of these recommendations and stuff that we found but I just want to give shout out to all those that are doing the deep dives that are doing the recommendations because Jay is right like Tubi is great. We fucking love Tubi here. Some of their categories suggestions are just amazing. But if you're just going off of like the category suggestions, you're just scratching the surface of what they have. And that Onion article is perfection because as we all know, Justin Liberty shared that one of the uploaded videos on Tubi was from directly from a VHS screen of the movie, but he won't disclose which one it is so I am making it my mission to try and find that movie organically and I haven't Yet, but, man, there's a lot of great stuff on there and there's a lot of shit on there too. So yeah, let's get into this.
James Jay Edwards:Yep. How do we want to do this? Do we want to go? We want to like alternate picks and who wants to start?
Jonathan Correia:Well, I know I know. Well, I don't know what your guys's other choices but I do know one title that at least Jacob and I are recommending. So if we want to do that for one first.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, let's go for it.
Jonathan Correia:Because Tubi has the complete Freddy's Nightmares. Yeah. Which is incredible because I know it's also on Scream Box but that requires a subscription but be able to just watch all the episodes of Freddy's Nightmares. I mean, that warms my heart. It's one of the few bootlegs that I own is Freddy's Nightmares. Although I don't recommend bootlegs, that's bad. We shouldn't do bootlegs, but I mean, come on. It's Freddy's Nightmares.
James Jay Edwards:For a long time. That's the only way you could see it. I mean, we I mean, yeah, we we don't condone bootlegging, but if it's one of those gray market things where that's the only way you can get it. I mean, I'll be the first I've always said it. I'll be the first one in line to buy a legitimate release of Freaky Links. Until then, I have my bootleg.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, sometimes you gotta make do with what you got.
James Jay Edwards:Exactly, exactly. But now instead of bootlegging Freddy's Nightmares, you can go to Tubi.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, now that was a big deal last year. I remember. Like it was, you know, it made a lot of news sites that Freddy's Nightmares is finally getting kind of a digital release after being in obscurity for so long. Which, considering it's a part of such a huge horror franchise is pretty surprising. I only watched a couple episodes because I think they used to rerun it on the SciFi Channel or something long time ago, or might have been the El Rey network either way.
Jonathan Correia:Also Chiller they definitely had.
Jacob Davidson:A chiller. Yeah,
Jonathan Correia:remember Chiller? Chiller was a great time to be alive man.
James Jay Edwards:And Fear Net.
Jacob Davidson:Fear net. Yes, gone too soon. Yep. But anyway, and
James Jay Edwards:Back when there was Horror TV.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, no, Freddy's Nightmares is a lot of fun because it's pretty much what it promises. It's a Nightmare on Elm Street anthology series. And some of the stories don't necessarily involve Freddie himself, you know, being involved. But there are a lot where it's basically just kind of anthology format where Freddie you know, like, is going around killing people in Springwood In fact, the opening episode the pilot episode No More Mr. Nice Guy is pretty infamous. Because it's Freddie's origin story. It's about what led up to him being burned alive by the parents of Springwood and turned into the dream demon, and it was directed by none other than the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's on, Toby Hooper.
Jonathan Correia:I was about to say if you don't mention who directed it, then we are we are doing a disservice. Yeah,
Jacob Davidson:I could not I could not i had to.
Jonathan Correia:But it's fun dude. Like it's it's it came out during that time when there was a lot of like horror anthology series that weren't necessarily great. But they they hit that camp Note, really well, because I think Friday the 13th The series was around the same time too.
Jacob Davidson:And Monsters
James Jay Edwards:Tales From the Darkside.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, Twilight Zone reboot.
Jonathan Correia:And then of course, Tales from the Crypt came out a few years later, it just like blew them all out of the water.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah. And it's funny too, because like Freddy is basically the Cryptkeeper for the show because he does all the intros and outros and does a lot of puns and gags and you know, keep in mind this is for television. So you know, there I guess we're, you know, there's limits. He couldn't quite do as much violence or cussing as in the films but he you know, he has a lot of fun.
James Jay Edwards:But in its initial syndication, it did air like 10 o'clock at night, so it is a little more crazy than your average TV .
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, yeah. My favorite is the one where Freddy goes into Morton Downey Jr's dreams and torments him. That's great.
James Jay Edwards:Okay, so to catch up with you guys. I'll do another TV one. That's from my list. They have both seasons of Space 1999 Are you guys into the show at all?
Jacob Davidson:I never saw it, but I have heard a lot about it. It's a
James Jay Edwards:British show from I think it's from 74. So it so it's funny, it predates Star Wars. But the thing is, it got a push in America after Star Wars and all those other science fiction TV, you know, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in 25th century, when all those were coming out, it did get pushed onto American TV. And basically it's about it's kind of a crazy concept, because it's about it's called Moonbase Alpha. And it's and this is how crazy people are. This is five years after men first landed on the moon. This is 1974. And they thought by 1999, which is the year it is set in that they were going to be bases on the moon. So it's kind of fun, but anyway, they're storing toxic waste on the moon. And the toxic waste blows up and blows the moon out of Earth's orbit. So the whole round Under the show The moon is drifting around with the people of Moonbase Alpha on it. And it is it's a it's pretty much British science fiction it's what you expect it to be. It stars Martin Landau which is cool. Yeah. Which is really cool because it's an early show of his and you know if you're into that British science fiction kind of stuff Space: 1999 Nine will scratch the itch.
Jonathan Correia:I love British sci fi. Red Dwarf is one of my all time favorite shows ever smegging love that show. There's a couple other I don't know how much I didn't realize we're gonna talk so much TV but two quick ones.
Jacob Davidson:I got I got one. Oh yeah, go for Yeah, no, like, this is definitely top of my list on the TV recommendation side of things, but they and honestly I just found out about this because of this episode. So I'm pretty stoked. Turns out
that to be has Tremors:The Series on available. Oh, the Sci Fi one. Yep. The Sci Fi Channel One the original one because yeah, back in the early 2000s. After Tremors 3 there was a tremor spinoff series that aired for only one season on the Sci Fi Channel. And I remember being a lot of fun like it's just basically kind of a monster the week episode and they have other monsters asides from graboids like there was a giant killer shrimp in one episode and just like a killer plan, and also Christopher Lloyd is in it as a supporting character who worked at like some area 51 type place where he was a mad scientist who made monsters that are now on the loose. And yeah, it's basically just Bert and the residents of the town just dealing with the fact that they're a monster tourist trap, and even have a recurring Graboid named El Blonko. The white Graboid who's like the Moby Dick to Burt's Ahab,
Jonathan Correia:that sounds great.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I mean, it's goofy, but you know, it's tremors so you kind of go with it. But it has a lot of monsters. So I'm always down for that.
Jonathan Correia:Tubi like, I didn't expect us to be bringing up TV shows. Because on my list, I have Lovecraft Country, which because of the Warner Brothers deal, just went to that and I will recommend Lovecraft Country till the day I die. That's such a perfect season. But if you really, if you really are sitting there and going, guys, I have way too much time on my hands. I really need to kill it with as much soap opera and gothic-ness and just you know, I need to kill as much of my life as possible. They do have 26 seasons of Dark Shadows on Tubi at each season. Each seasons like 40 episodes. So like there's a
James Jay Edwards:Dark Shadows was a soap opera. Yeah, back then. So yeah, 26 seasons. And I mean, it was it was not just your average TV show. It was it was like days of our lives, but with a vampire.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah. And it completely different from the Tim Burton movie. I remember. Growing up when I was sick, it would always be playing on the Sci Fi Channel during the day. So I would watch like random ass episodes of interest to like what the fuck is going on? It's a soap opera, but there's a vampire. And so yeah, I might watch a couple episodes, but I'm not going to try to watch every episode. That's that's quite quite the load.
Jacob Davidson:Indeed. On the movie side of things, ya know, this selection is insane. Like it has one of my favorite all time scarecrow movies. Scarecrows available from 1988 is basically about like a group of robbers that hijack a plane and then one of them betrays the others and jumps out with the money. And they end up in this like weird little abandoned farmhouse where it has all these scarecrows and go figure scarecrows come to life and start hunting everybody down. And also, it's just funny because like I put in the word Scarecrow, and they're like at least over a dozen scarecrow movies on Tubi. So you could watch scarecrows that have a double feature of that with Larry Drake's Dark Night of the Scarecrow.
James Jay Edwards:One thing that I found on there and I was happy was on there because it's a little hard to find on demand or digitally, I guess, is an if anybody who's in the sound of my voice knows that I love this movie Compliance.
Jacob Davidson:Oh, yeah.
James Jay Edwards:This is the movie about bait bait. There's there's a Netflix mini series about the actual case. But there was this guy who would call up fast food restaurants, and pretending to be a cop. And he would get them to basically torment and torture their employees and strip search them and everything just to see how far he could go. And the Netflix miniseries is called Don't Pick Up the Phone. And it's about the real case, but compliance is the fictionalized version of it that isn't that fictionalized. If you watch the Netflix thing and Compliance, they stick pretty close to what actually happened in the real world and that That's what makes it so terrifying. It's just so dirty. The things that happen in this movie, to this poor girl is being accused. But ya
Jacob Davidson:know, I only saw it once. And I don't think I could ever watch it again. It's just Yeah, it's,
James Jay Edwards:you know, shower after it, but if you haven't seen compliance, it's on Tubi.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, that's one that I think I found the blu ray at Dollar Tree one time and I just haven't been able to bring myself to it just because that subject matter is very rough. But I've heard really, that it's done really well. Just, that's it. That's a hard, that's a hard thing to witness that movie.
Jacob Davidson:It's roug man.
James Jay Edwards:It'll make you feel dirty. You know, and, and the fact that it is actually true is what is that's what makes it dirty. You know, because the whole time you're like, this would never happen, this would never happen then you realize this happened.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah
Jonathan Correia:staying on the subject of ones that are phenomenal, but hard to get access to The Stepford Wives the original one is on Tubi as well. And I will never stop recommending that one till the day I die as well, because Stepford Wives is such a phenomenal movie. And you know what the Frank Oz was a lot of fun, too. I'll give it that. But the original man is just harrowing. There's like, so many great tense, building moments. And it never got like one or two DVD releases. And that's it. And it's hard to find on other streaming services, so shout out to Stepford Wives. That was the one that made me go. Oh, Tubi fucking rules. That was the first thing I found on there. And I was like, okay, cool. So you guys don't just have a fuck ton of Asylum Films on here.
James Jay Edwards:Although they do have a fuck ton of Asylum Films.
Jonathan Correia:Do they ever Yeah,
James Jay Edwards:Try typing in shark.
Jacob Davidson:Just wall to wall shark movies. On another note, the selection of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax movies is off the chain like they've got so many different episodes available to watch. You know, they got The Touch of Satan, they got The Slime People, Monster A Go-Go, Manos The Hands Of Fate, Time Chasers. So Black scorpion. They Yeah, they just have so many great episodes available easily to watch for free. So you know, just if so ya know, if you if you want a selection of Mystery Science Theater 3000 type movies and they always got a lot of Rifftrax stuff. You know your cup runneth over. Oh, yeah.
Jonathan Correia:I love how they have both Mystery Science and Rifftrax on there. Because for a while, how I was watching those was on Pluto, because they have the channels where they're just playing it 24/7 But it's nice being able to fire it up. But also the Pluto channels for Rifftrax and Mystery Science Theater are great if you have like, I got 15 minutes to kill, Let's just throw in a random episode that's already playing. And it's fun to jump in and jump out, you know?
Jacob Davidson:Yeah.
James Jay Edwards:My next one is a movie from the mid 70s called The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. Have you guys seen this?
Jacob Davidson:I don't think so.
Jonathan Correia:No, but that's a creepy ass title.
James Jay Edwards:It's Jodie Foster, when she was a child star, and she basically is this fiercely independent teenage girl who will do a lot of things to maintain her fierce independence. And Martin Sheen is also in it. And you just say Jodie Foster and Martin Sheen and you could probably guess, some creepy stuff that happens in it. But yeah, it's um, it's one that I remember from my childhood and, and, you know, as being just one of like, not really a gateway horror movie, but I remember seeing it on TV and just going Holy crap. This is you know, it was one of those ones that I lost sleep over when I was like, you know, a five year old kid so Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane on Tubi.
Jonathan Correia:Gotta love that. Tubi has the ability to with Tubi you have that ability to find those deep cuts from your child and of like, what was this random ass movie that I saw a scene from? You look it up and it's like, where's it available? Fuck, it's on Tubi.
James Jay Edwards:It's always on Tubi.
Jacob Davidson:Yeah, that should be their slogan.
Jonathan Correia:One that I haven't watched yet, but I been looking stuff up. I was looking for things to recommend for me to watch later to is Have you guys heard of The Blood Beast Terror?
Jacob Davidson:No, that doesn't ring a bell.
Jonathan Correia:It's from 1968 and it stars Peter Cushing. It's a low budget show. Shocker. in which a 19th century entomologist's daughter undergoes a metaphor says metamorphosis. Wow, that's these big words when I'm sick. I'm not going well into a giant death heads moth which needs human blood to survive. So her father creates a giant moth to keep her company but only succeeds in unleashing more blood sucking tear. It's a horror movie starring Peter Cushing and a blood sucking giant moth. What? What? do moths drink blood? Is that even a fucking thing? Did they not know that back then.
Jacob Davidson:I don't think so. But you know, hey, there's a blood sucking moth what are you gonna do?
Jonathan Correia:I'm gonna watch it that's that's what I'm gonna do the posters for it are insane. Kino Lorber put it out on Blu ray not too long ago but it's on Tubi. for free so yeah, that's what I'm gonna be doing later today to celebrate Easter is watch Peter Cushing and blood sucking giant moths apparently.
Jacob Davidson:There you go. And in terms of more recent stuff, I was pretty happy to see that they had one of my personal favorite found footage horror movies Apollo 18 available. Like you guys remember that?
James Jay Edwards:I almost put that on my list when I saw it on there.
Jacob Davidson:Okay, well good thing I was able to get in on that. Yeah, no, I mean, for those who don't remember like Apollo 18 was like this found footage movie from 2011 where there's like a legit to be the real like tapes taken from a lost NASA Apollo mission to the moon.
James Jay Edwards:There were only 17 Apollo missions except this was supposedly the 18th that they don't talk about
Jacob Davidson:the secret one Yeah. Which also reveals why we didn't go back to the moon there's a
Jonathan Correia:reason we never went back
James Jay Edwards:because that was the tag line. Yeah, yeah, remember
Jacob Davidson:the tag line although it is genuinely creepy like just the there's this like scene where they find the corpses of cosmonauts buried on the moon and it just really haunts me still and it has some it has some wild twists toward the end. So yeah, I mean if you're in the mood for found footage, you know between that's definitely a highlight for me although there's a shitload of found footage movies on Tubi to choose from.
Jonathan Correia:Shitload is
Jacob Davidson:correct. Yeah, even got the original Blair Witch Project.
Jonathan Correia:And Blair Witch Project 2
Jacob Davidson:Oh, yeah.
James Jay Edwards:Which everyone should watch Book of Shadows. My next one is a movie from the mid 80s. Mid the late 80s called Grotesque.
Jacob Davidson:Oh, yeah, I love that movie.
James Jay Edwards:There are a bunch of movies called Grotesque. This one stars Linda Blair. And her and a friend of hers are going up to see her parents who her dad is like an old Hollywood special effects guy. And on the way up to there, they live in like the mountains. On the way up there. They run afoul of this punk rock band that that follows them and decides to you know, it's kind of like a home invasion stalking slasher basically. But um, it's kind of a twist a minute because, you know, everything. Nothing is as it seems in this movie. So but it's a it's a crazy little. It's, it feels like a Troma or a Full Moon movie. And who knows? Maybe it is, but it is. It's a crazy little movie. Grotesque is
Jonathan Correia:That's actually one of the things on what's called. Tubi as well as they have a whole channel dedicated to Full Moon and the old Empire movies, which is great, because I know Full Moon has its own streaming services and stuff. But the fact that most of those titles are on Tubi for free. Fantastic. And I do plan on watching one there's a there's one film in particular I'm interested from Full Moon and it's called The Evil Clergymen. Have you heard of
Jacob Davidson:this one? Yes. Oh, yeah. With Jeffrey Combs.
Jonathan Correia:Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton directed by Charles band. It was supposed to be a part of a anthology film that was going to be released under Empire where this was the third story which was based on HP love, HP Lovecraft letter, not a short a letter that HP Lovecraft wrote. And the other two stories that it was going to be like a sequel to Trancers and Dungeon Master. But Empire collapsed before the movie ever got released. So they did a full restoration and release of it and all three films are now available separate on Tubi, the Trancers is one I think is like Trancers 1.5 or something, but each one's about a half hour long. So yeah, I'm definitely gonna be checking that one out a little bit later. It's yeah, I got Barbara Crampton Jeffrey Combs David Warner plays the evil clergyman and Helen hunts in it because remember, Helen Hunt was in a bunch of Full Moon Empire movies back in the day so yeah, sounds fun
Jacob Davidson:in terms of horror comedies again stuff I discovered that as on to be and just just want to let people know is available they got Death Becomes Her on there.
Jonathan Correia:Oh fuck yeah dude.
Jacob Davidson:And look there's the more people I can get to watch it's a watch that becomes there the better because Death Becomes Her is an incredible movie.
Jonathan Correia:What are the all times then that's the thing is that like, we were trying to focus more on like deep cuts or finding stuff that we really liked, but there's so many great like solid ones. And then also right now Warner Brothers is selling off a lot of their library to to be in a bunch of other ones to have on their streaming services. So there's a lot of modern stuff like I think they have all The Conjuring movies on there now. Yeah. Oh, yeah,
James Jay Edwards:even the newest one. That's what one thing I discovered I'm like already they have The Devil Made Me Do It right on Yeah.
Yeah. Faust:Love of the Damned the Brian Yuzna movie.
Jonathan Correia:So so there's a great mixture of stuff like that. There's of course a lot of Asylum films like I saw one called the Headless Horseman, where it looked like it was they were trying to turn the Headless Horseman into like a Ghost Rider type figure. But Jacob I think you said someone said it was more of a knockoff of Faust. I don't know. I you know, and I don't I'm not going to recommend Apparently it follows that more in line. that one. But I do recommend people watch the trailer for Headless Horseman because it's fucking ridiculous. That's what I was doing at midnight last night.
James Jay Edwards:Cool for my last one. Um, it's a documentary. And it's one that probably everyone has seen, but if you haven't Room 237
Jacob Davidson:Yeah. Oh, that's
James Jay Edwards:yeah, it is. This is the movie that it basically is about The Shining. And here's a warning if you're going to watch 237 If you haven't yet watch The Shining one more time because this is going to change the way you look at The Shining. It basically is a bunch of it's not like a behind the scenes it's like a bunch of conspiracy theory kind of things, you know, like they cover the fake Moon Landing they cover the the numerology in it, they cover that the Native American you know, angles to it, basically all these things that people think are behind them, and some of them are probably hogwash. Some of them there might be something, the thing that really got me about Room 237 was one guy played The Shining backwards over itself, and it lined up pretty crazily like like, the two images lined up pretty well. So anyway, Room 237 Yeah, it's kind of a good companion piece to The Shining, and it's on Tubi
Jacob Davidson:from my last recommendation. Again, this was something I just discovered by going through it. I was happy to find that Pandoram is available on Tubi is this sci fi horror movie from about 2010 that I feel like has a lot in line with games like Dead Space feels like a survival horror game brought to screen Yeah, I really loved it. And you know, now that I know that it's available like this I'm definitely gonna give it a rewatch.
Jonathan Correia:The last one I'm going to go into becuase I love fantasy and Tale of Tales is on there and that's been on my list for a while. With Salma Hayek, John C. Reilly and a bunch of others. Just looks awesome. And there's that incredible shot of Salma Hayek Eating a heart for something I don't know. I haven't seen it yet. But Tale of Tales, that's going to be the second after what Evil Clergyman and Tale of Tales seems like the perfect Easter double feature for me as sounds good to me.
James Jay Edwards:Double Feature. I have a few honorable mentions, mainly because they're not really horror, but it's stuff that I was actually kind of happy that I was able to find on Tubi one is. I don't know if I'm gonna say this right goon Shane and the zoo. It means in ancient dog. Yeah. It's a short film by Luis Manuel. And it is a I say famous, but it might be infamous. It's only about 15 minutes long. And it's something anybody who's been to film school has seen. It kind of reminds me of the the movie in The Ring that gets shown in the, you know, the one that curses you because it's just just as creepy. You know? It's a surreal imagery.
Jonathan Correia:It's like a French experimental film trying to capture a nightmare, right? And it wasn't Salvador Dali, like either an inspiration or like, involved somehow or something like that.
James Jay Edwards:I'm not sure if he was involved with it or not. And it was directed by BunWell, who was one of those? Who was one of those extremists back then. So yeah,
Jonathan Correia:it was uh, it was infamous because it was one of the earliest examples of like, certain like editing techniques, like you have the infamous shot where the guy's going to slice the woman's eye with like a razor and they cut at the last second to Cow's Eye being cut open. Yeah, yeah. Oh, gnarly stuff. I love that movie.
James Jay Edwards:Yep. Yeah, it's yeah, it's crazy. If you haven't seen it's worth watching once but there's no plot to it. It's just a bunch of horrifying imagery. And another thing that
they have on there is Project:Alf. Which if you guys watched Alf if anyone watched Alf you know that the seat the series ended with Alf getting captured. And Project: Alf was a TV movie they did after that to basically to tie up that loose end. So
Project:Alf is on there, which is kind of cool. And also the other honorable mention I have after talking with Andrew Gordon McPherson, they have Dark Side of the Ring on Tubi. Ah, so if you want to see we talked kind of a lot about Dark Side of the Ring. When we when we were Talking with Andrew. Now you can see it on Tubi Dark Side of the Ring
Jonathan Correia:Yeah. It's also on Hulu if you're paying for that. So if you don't want commercials, but yeah, Dark Side of the Ring since we talked to Andrew, I have watched all of that and Tales from the Territories and let me tell you, they're both so good. But Dark Side of the Ring dude, especially season two and three. The first episode is always like a two parter, and it's always the most depressing movie or story ever. And then the follow the like, third episode is always like, Alright, here's the craziest, most dangerous motherfucker to have walked into the ring. Like, second or third season goes hard.
James Jay Edwards:I think Chris Benoit was one of those two partners, wasn't he?
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, he was the first one holy shit was that heartbreaking.
James Jay Edwards:Oh, that's that's a horrifying story.
Jonathan Correia:Yeah, I wouldn't recommend watching that first thing in the morning or right before bed watching that show. It's very sad. But it's phenomenal. Very good. For recommendations, I just want to again shout out to all the Tubi divers out there. There's there's actually a podcast called Tubi or Not Tubi where they they do deep dives and look into it. I'd recommend looking into them. They have some great recommendations. But also Doug Tilley from Cinema Smorgasbord, that podcast, he and he was the one that I discovered like late late last night after I already made my list. He apparently is putting out like random lists, but he had like a big thread. I'll share it later on our on our Twitter but like he had so many great random recommendations everything from like The Swingers Massacre, aka Inside Amy, which is a 1974 movie where a lawyer starts murdering people when his wife starts enjoying the swinging life a bit too much to like The Manhandlers, Blackbelt Angels, which I found and looks insane. But yeah, stuff like Love Me Deadly. Don't Let the Riverbeast Get You!, which is a 50 throwback Creature Feature from New England. So I figured that would be a good one to let you know about Jacob, that seems right up your alley.
Jacob Davidson:And it does, it really does.
Jonathan Correia:But yeah, I mean, we we are scratching the surface on what is available. And I'm just so happy that there's a bunch of resources because I really wish Tubi would just be like, Alright, here's all of these movies, you know, and you could just like put in the parameters of just genre. But the 200 that they recommend for each of their things is just scratching the surface man, but they really are doing the Lord's work over there.
James Jay Edwards:Yes, they are.
Jacob Davidson:And for my last recommendations, I also want to emphasize that they have a surprisingly expensive anime section, including some favorites of mine, like Cromarty High School and Ghost in the Shell, and Blue Submarine no.6.
Jonathan Correia:I thought you were going to bring up their Italian and Giallo collection that they had there because they have a whole section and it's like 200 movies of
Jacob Davidson:snow. But again, there's so much to dig through. You know, it's just, there's so much I could talk about, there's just there's too much man, there's too much
Jonathan Correia:I can picture Jacob having that like existential crisis of do I recommend the anime set selection or the Giallo section? I can't take it I don't know what to talk about
James Jay Edwards:recommend both
Jonathan Correia:The smoke just starts coming out of his ears like ah,
James Jay Edwards:but of course, the biggest recommendation that we can give you on Tubi
Jonathan Correia:and this comes from all three of us
James Jay Edwards:all three of us. Read it is Yes,
Jacob Davidson:RAMPAGE! RAMPAGE!
Jonathan Correia:RAMPAGE!
James Jay Edwards:They have Rampage on Tubi so if you have not seen Rampage first of all, why are you listening to us because well, it is the official movie of the podcast.
Jonathan Correia:I mean, in their defense, I don't know if we've mentioned Rampage in a couple episodes.
James Jay Edwards:Because we've had a couple of guests we always trail off on mentioning Rampage.
Jonathan Correia:I think that should be a part of our interview process how you always start off with how did you get into this and then we ended up Rampage. What's your opinion on 2000? A Dwayne The Rock Johnson starring vehicle Rampage? Did you feel it gave enough homage to the original video game? And do you want to see king crab in the sequel or the giant lobster?
James Jay Edwards:Okay, cool. Well, like we said, even these deep dives are just scratching the surface Tubi has. They always say onion articles or satire, but I wouldn't be surprised if that one's true.
Jonathan Correia:The CEO of Tubi himself shared that Onion article on Twitter he was like Wait are The Onion is The Onion following me?
James Jay Edwards:He wouldn't surprise me they have so much great stuff. So like I said the best way to see what they have on Tubi is if you just think of a movie, type it in the search bar because it That's how you'll find out if it's there. So, yeah, let us know your deep dives on Tubi if we miss something, which I'm sure we did, because there are, there's just there's too much. There's too much to search for. Our theme song is by Restless Spirits. So go give them a listen. And our artwork is by Chris Fisher. So go give him a like, you can find us on any of the socials under @EyeOnHorror or at ihorror.com, which is the site we all call home. And we're gonna call it an episode for this week. So yeah, keep watching Tubi. And let us know what you love there because we just let you know what we love there
Jonathan Correia:and Tubi if you're listening if you want to sponsor us, because we're not we are getting no money for this huge shout out to you guys. But if you want to kick us something, we will be happy to keep praising your product because we love it. We're fans. Alright,
James Jay Edwards:so we are out of here. So we will see you in a couple of weeks. So for me, James Jay Edwards.
Jacob Davidson:I'm Jacob Davison
Jonathan Correia:and I'm Jonathan Correia.
James Jay Edwards:Keep your Eye On Horror.
