    I like how Roy Scheider is reputed to have made Blue Thunder just to make sure he wasn't available for Jaws 3

    Yeah, well, if he hadn’t made Jaws ll then we would not have had to endure Jaws lll.

    This reminds me of a common trope in "Is the world crazy?" plots: the character receives ambiguous information and doesn't ask follow-up questions.

    When Daker Bill is unsure whether he's inside a game he has that conversation with the bait shop lady. He asks some abstract, twisty nonsense and she goes back to asking about bait. This could be a sign she's an NPC... or just that she wants this unhinged, rum-soaked soon-to-be-murderer to buy some shit or get out of her shop.

    Dill Pickle could ask her follow-up questions to test her sentience. Like how Edward Norton in Fight Club finally starts asking people to explain exactly what they remember about Tyler Durden, instead of speaking in vague, cult-y code words.

    Dylan Baker is a man of few words; such a man prefers mystery.

    Here's a good article on Disney rides turned into movies:

    https://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20180408/33790/ride-screen-8-best-and-worst-disney-movies-based-rides

    First of all, even calling Mission to Mars an adaptation of the Disney ride is a big stretch. Secondly, I notice that all but one of these was made BEFORE Pirates of the Caribbean. That's right, at one time Disney figured The Country Bears was a better bet than friggin' Pirates. Sometimes our corporate overlords are dumb.

    Who can truly predict what will succeed?  “CutThroat Island” bombed

    In the episode Jason and Seth mention this movie possibly having Christian themes. I would say this movie is clearly anti-religion. 

    When the priest goes to Michael Ironside’s home to warn him about Mary Lou, he claims that he is protected because he is a priest. Later, when Vicki/Mary Lou comes to the confessional, he tries to stop her from attacking him by holding up his crucifix and chanting. Mary Lou is completely unphased by this and tells him there is no God Before killing him with his own crucifix. 

    This scene also has one of the funniest lines in the movie when Mary Lou complains that one of the worst parts of the afterlife is that there’s “NO FUCKING WINGS”. 

     

    Yeah at first I thought she meant wings for flying but now I think it could be chicken wings?

    I was 11 when that came out and remember even the trailer scaring the shit out of me. Same with the 99 "The Haunting" movie with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones.

    Finally saw them both as an adult and wondered how the fuck was I ever scared??? Also wondered how I was able to see The Ring in theaters at that same time and not those two.

    Yes The Haunting is terrible but not quite as fun-terrible as 13 Ghosts?

    One thing that didn't get brought up and I hoped would was that weird scene where Rebecca Ferguson meets up with Harry Hole at that restathurant, which even though it is closed (as some guy yells to her when she comes in the open door of the closed restaurants), Harry Hole is eating a meal there. Harry Hole asks her if she's hungry and she says she is and he pushes his plate towards her and his sausage is cut up into small pieces. She just looks at it and the camera pans in on the meat and the scene ends. What the hell?

    That may have been a reference to the cutup dead body from years ago.... ?

    Also, I read some criticism of this live broadcast, but I found no more shouting than most of the live HDTGM pocasts.
