Well, I assume the shots where she's not really saying anything and the boy body is visible are the mask, and the closeups of her face are her. It's kind of impressive given the time period the movie was made in and the minuscule budget. Plus the fact that people are still arguing about it 30 years later.

WOW. That mask is disturbing on levels I didn't even know existed.

To each their own, I was thoroughly entertained. I think this is one of the funniest episodes they've done.

Please don't do Star Wars. Total waste of your talents. It's been done to death by everyone.

My personal pet peeve is 'hun'. People think they're being cute but it's kind of condescending.

Yes! This is all I could think of when they were discussing that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK2jFO_DaRQ

Please do Halloween 3. I suggested it over a year ago and it really needs a Paul/June/Jason dissection. I love Carpenter but that movie is just nuts. Killer Celtic Robots! Child murder! Tom Atkins!

Wait, did I miss it or did you guys not talk about the shark roaring?

Thanks for the nightmares!

And Michael Caine's famous quote: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!"

In case anyone is unfamiliar with the roaring shark. The shark can also stand straight up in the water (who knew?) and appears roughly 40 feet long. It's also worth noting that Mrs. Brody is flashing back to events she never saw. Oh, this movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqiWWmAEfTA

To be fair, I don't believe previous director/actor specials failed to engage with the movie nearly as much as this one. I kind of felt like this was a special Kevin Smith episode, where they occasionally referred to the Wild Wild West. Like I said, I don't mind so much because there was some great stuff in there, but i can understand why someone else might not have enjoyed it (especially if they aren't Smith fans).

I did feel like the movie wasn't dissected as much as usual, but at the same time how can I complain about Kevin Smith's insider stories about Jon Peters' spider obsession?

I can't wait to hear you guys talk about all the disabled & racist jokes they crammed into this movie. It's nuts.

It's funny, because one of my favorite things in the podcast is when a guest or (usually) Jason are completely broken by a terrible movie and just cry out to the movie gods asking 'WHY?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!'. I guess because I can completely empathize with that feeling, as some movies simply don't deserve intelligent discourse. It reminds me of those rare occasions on MST3K when Joel or Mike & the bots were driven over the edge by a particularly bad movie (e.g., Manos the Hands of Fate, Invasion of the Neptune Men, etc.). I actually thought this episode suffered a bit from Jason not being in the studio and June Diane being absent, but it was still quite good.

I'm not sure Silverstone had much of a career before this movie. The only truly popular, breakout role she had up to this point was Clueless. And those Aerosmith videos.

Honestly, I think this movie killed Gene Siskel.

Wait, people are actually complaining about an interview with Danny Trejo? What kind of upside-down, bizarro world did I wake up in today?

I would love to see Jessica on again, she was great.

@dan It's not about the mockery really, but as Paul points out, this movie needs to be discussed. There are so many things about this film that are just nuts. I'm aware of what they were going for in terms of an anthology series, but it would be interesting to hear Paul, June, etc. discuss what went so wrong.
