Chopping Mall LIVE! w/ Mary Holland (HDTGM Matinee)

26:41What's set up early on is that, I don't know, Jenny or Jesse or someone's having a crazy party at the furniture store. Which is like six people dancing. That woman, the married woman says we have to go to support her. Oh, okay. Because she gets so insecure about her parties at the furniture store. Yeah, and the turnout. No one ever comes to them. I'll tell you what. I really liked Suze in the beginning, but she really goes crazy. Also, guys, heads up. If your girl is still fully dressed, don't get down to your boxers. Like, don't you be in your boxers while she's still fully dressed. It's just as a little eager.

27:28The camera now has panned over just a handful of feet to couple number two, where this amazing interaction happens. I like pepperoni. Oh, my God. You smell like pepperoni. Well, that's the way you feel. Wait a minute. What? I like pepperoni. Oh. In that case... So many bracelets. Now, hold on a minute. Why did she start humming? This is... No idea! Here's what I think. Start humming. I have a theory about this. I have a theory. The actress went up to the director, and the scene ends, as written, the scene ends with, I like the smell of pepperoni. And then they're supposed to do it. She went up to the director, and she said, Hey, here's the thing.

28:23I'm a singer. Can we do a take where I face out, I start humming a blues ballad, but I will sing, and then you'll have that in the movie, and then that will make the scene that much more romantic and sexy. Wait, you have a theory about what happened next? He said yes. I have a theory. I have a theory. So you say that to me, I'll be the guy. Okay. Oh, wait, are you the director? Yeah, I'm the director. Okay, hi. This is so fun. Thank you so much for this opportunity. You're doing great, kid. You're doing great. Thank you. I don't know if you know this. I'm a singer. And I really think it would enhance the scene if I were to, I don't know, at some point when he says I smell like pepperoni, I'm insulted.

29:17Obviously. I'm sorry to interrupt. We have to shoot 95 more pages in the next hour. Okay. Alright. Thanks. and anyway so I was thinking I would just enhance the scene by like stepping out and like sort of having like a moment of being heard and then I'll just just throw but I'll hum a blues ballad you're gonna hum a blues ballad okay great as long as you pull your tits out you can do whatever you want sweetie

29:45you got a deal mister as long as you as long as you pull those B cups out you can do whatever the fuck you want B cups this is the crazy thing about this song You're right. It's like a lullaby. Yeah. It sort of reads as though she's, the character needs to kind of get herself there. Psyched up. Yeah. Because she's like, well, she later is proven to be a straight up crazy person. And then, all right, so then the camera pans from them. So it goes over to a guy going down on his girlfriend. Well, he's trying to. Or trying to. Michael. What? now. You know I don't allow that. So you allowed it last week, didn't you?

30:32You know I don't allow that? I seem to recall it. That's right. Just another lady out there telling another guy how much she hates being gone down on. I have to say, she may just be uncomfortable with it in a furniture store. Yeah. Perhaps. I can understand. Perhaps. I can understand. Or maybe she just keeps finding gum in her pussy. I know. He never stops chewing gum.

31:02And it's like, listen, you know I love it, but I don't allow it from you because you keep... I got toxic shock twice last year because there was gum in my pussy. Fucking... This guy chews so much gum. It's bananas. she's like I found a golf ball size big league chew again adding to my thing that everyone is disgusting and I think the idea is that the script was probably pretty bad and everyone's like I'm going to dress up this character I'm going to give my I'm going to give my character like a thing like a little tick like a character and you think there's a commentary there's three commentary tracks to this movie but I will let this one just wait are they from Protector 1, Protector 2 and Protector 3 it's just a lot of have a nice day I remember when we were shooting this scene have a nice day it was so hot on set this day have a nice day all three of them are real estate agents now they're great alright so this is just great.

32:18A little insight. You'll notice he is chewing gum in every scene. When he's in bed with the very, very attractive Susie Slater, he is chewing gum. He was chewing four or five sticks at a time. And it's really annoying and it's really funny, and that's all because of John. He's an incredibly inventive actor. But I agree! I thought John was an excellent actor. That was my opinion. I was like, this John guy is good. Look, he made a choice. He's really good. I wanted to ask you guys about this thing, because I was confused about this. The full body lace leotard, was that ever a thing? It's actually back.

33:07Oh, yeah. Like a bodysuit? Yeah. Okay. All right. Then that's normal. All right. That checks out. I never saw stepping in and pulling up a lace. Keep in mind, that scene is at the shopping mall. The locker room at the shopping mall. Where everybody from the mall just showers up and hangs out. See, I thought that locker room was just for the pizza place employees. Really? Now, that's even crazier. You're right. Can you imagine a pizza restaurant? Can you imagine working a shift at even most of the pizzeria? Where the front of the house looks like what we already saw. The guy's wiping his spatula on his thing, and there is a full-on spa-level locker room where people are just hanging out.

34:08Oh, I would love that. um there there's so much to kind of get into i do like i do oh you okay yeah all short-circuiting lasers yeah lasers tell four people in the audience um well and also like okay yeah i love i loved that they had the idea sneak out through the vents well it's that okay it's that thing of like, it was like they wanted it to be teenagers, but it wasn't. And the idea that the first thing they decide to do is we need to get some weapons. The guys are like, we need to get guns. And that they go off and send the women into the heating vents. And then they get overheated in less than a minute.

34:54In less than one minute, it's as if the heating vent is 500 degrees and they are being cooked inside. They said the heat was turned up. Yeah, sure. And the heat in those two people across heating vents really get hot. I've never seen... I think they didn't figure out... The heating vent's not that wide to be able to be two people shoulder by shoulder. That's a lot. That's like a five-foot wide heating vent? That seems big to me, right? Bruce Willis is in there in Die Hard and I feel like it's supposed to be small. But this is a mall. Yeah. Maybe you're right. A lot of area. A lot of square footage.

35:33Yeah. And a lot of just like very easily accessible firearms. And paint stores. I've never seen a paint store in a mall. They pull a gun off a discount rack. It says 30 % off and the guy picks up a handgun. Like there's no case. Like there's no, there's no, like they don't even pretend to go behind the counter. It's like front of store items. It's like where an impulse buy is. It's like where they put M &Ms and stuff because you're like, ah, fuck it. Except that it's like a shotgun. A rack of shotguns. And the bullets seem close by too. They don't search for anything. Load that shit up. Right, two, three.

36:18How do the robots find the humans? I don't know how they found them. They're patrolling each floor. What's that? They're patrolling each floor. Right, but like... Do they smell them or... I think they can hear them, but not very well because they get into a gunfight at one point with one of them. The other two don't show up. Well, this is the interesting thing because to me, at the very end of the movie, not to jump forward, but the woman... No spoilers, Jim. The woman, our final gal, saves herself just simply by hiding under a shelf. And... They could have done this the whole time. They had just all gotten under a table somewhere.

36:57Here's the thing. And just kibble in front of them. In front of their faces. And just stayed there. The robots weren't looking for them. Right. They kept going and finding the robots. Because the robots are just patrolling and killing anyone on patrol. All they needed to do was close the doors to the furniture shop. The robots were doing them. What's that? The robots were just doing them. They were doing themselves as robots. They weren't really looking for trouble. So you're on the robot's side. Kind of. Yeah. I think I am now. Do you understand how big this is? No, it's huge. That you are on the side of robots?

37:32Your sworn enemies? It did really feel, though, that they were trying to rile the robots up. Hey, I agree. They were possessed. All they had to do was hide until morning. That's it. All they had to do was hide until morning. Yeah. Which they easily could have done. But they didn't know that. In any store under any display. But they didn't know that because the minute they went to go hide, the robots kept on, like, lasering through doors to, like, go get them. I would love it, too, when the robots would hide somewhere. And then, like, when the one robot killed Gum Chewer and then, like, set his body, and she came in and was like, oh, my God, oh, my God, you're dead.

38:14And then the robot was like, ha-ha, I'm here. Like, the robots had, like, real dramatic flourish to them. the robots seemingly also opened their hands never seem to open doors but there's one door that clearly looks like it should be opened by being pushed but they're just kind of I wonder if I have that clip but I don't know if there's Paul can you wait one second? How do I know that actor? Well I had the same Can somebody tell me what movie from my childhood I know him from? I had the same thing. He is kind of around in like, I think an adjacent movie, but I found it to be more interesting about where he is now.

38:57Where is he now? He is this gentleman. Oh, what are we going to see? Whoa! By the way, by the way, I'm on board. He is, he has a headshot up on his IMDb. He's shirtless. That is not a headshot. his pecs are out he's a silver fox is that a dad bod no no that's not a dad bod I'm still trying to hone in on exactly what a dad bod is that's like a well worked out man that's a hunky bod right does he have a tooth around his neck he is now a talent agent what if that was your agent I'm sure like that for your agent. What if you were like, hey, man, I want you to keep repping me, but you've got to take those shots down.

39:52It's super weird. Yeah, but I think he's on General Hospital, too. Got it. He looks so familiar to me, but I think he just looks like somebody else. Well, he looks like John Travolta a bit. So every time you're kind of looking at him, it seems familiar. A little bit like Jason Gedrick. Iron Eagle. Oh, yeah. How about that? This is, whenever they do come into contact with the robots, they get into this, like, firefight with them, and it seems like a lot of firepower is being thrown at each other, and it always is missing. And nobody uses power. Yeah, they're just openly firing at this robot. And seemingly hitting.

40:38And then the lasers are, there's so many lasers that are everyone's a bad shot in this movie like so many lasers not hitting what I can't my big thing is this movie features people constantly just standing in the line of fire and not getting out of the way really well I have a lot of issues with the way that people react when one of their friends catches fire I had that too They just like, what a shame. They look, they stare, they stare their friend down like, hmm, watch her burn. But by the way, that's Susie, or Suze, and you know what? It's her fault. They were safe in the heat duct. But there was a long time where she was laying in the middle of the floor like this.

41:31Oh my God, yes. She could have crawled away.

41:37While the robot, slowly lumbers towards her from behind.

41:55I thought it was going to run her over. Yeah, that's what I thought. As if that was the setup, but I'm sure the robot couldn't do that. And so instead, it shoots a laser at the kerosene can she's carrying as she goes up in flames. And she goes up in flames and no one does a goddamn thing. And they look at it. They scare her down. Guys, because I think what they realized is like, this lady's bringing us down. She's having panic attacks left and right. Like, we're going to let her go right now. Yes. And we're going to honor her from 10 feet away and watch her body burn out. Respectfully. Yes. Watch her burn.

42:36I think you're right. I 100 % think you're right. I would love to just straight up re-watch this whole movie right now. The also, oh man, I also like when they do kill one of the robots. It's like, what's that? And the guy's like, robot blood. Oh yeah. What? No. It is not. The crazy thing about this gang of friends too is whenever someone gets upset, like when the brunette woman has some sort of a moment where she's yelling at her husband or something. Oh my God. immediately cover it with, I'm so sorry. I guess it's just the situation. She says this exact line. I guess I'm just not used to being chased around the mall all night by killer robots.

43:20I literally just pulled that up. It is the dumbest line. It's unbelievable. Because one of their friends is like, we're dead meat. And you're freaking around. It's like, really? Your friends have been killed? Before you press play, these jeans are too high-waisted. First of all, they're khakis. They're khakis. They're khakis. These khakis are too high-waisted. I know women love high-waisted pants. It's got to stop. Really? Whoa, wait on, Jason. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Jason. Oh, sir. Have you ever tried to wear low-rods? I can see everything in this.

44:07I also think she has an issue with clothing. I think she just likes tight and high clothing because she at one point gets injured on her arm, does not take off her sweater, just wraps her sweatered arm where the injury is. So she's put a bandage over her sweater where the wound is. And then so it's bleeding through the sweater, which is then bleeding through the bandage. That is, by the way, a surefire way to get a wound infected. Yeah. Well, even before this scene, as soon as they're attacked in the furniture store, I mean, the women are all half naked. And as soon as they're attacked and, like, run to the back room, they all start putting on their shirts.

44:44They've all been fucking in front of their very close friends. Half naked and, like, then get dressed for the robots? Yeah. Well, their life, they gotta get out of the mall. They gotta go get a suit. But I agree with June. I understand. I agree with June. in the rest of the movie, they should have been naked. I agree. I also think, like June, the movie would have been better if the women didn't wear tops at all. What I'm saying is, like, ladies, get the fuck out of this mall now. Don't bother putting a top on. Let those things flop around. Get out of here. Get your priorities straight. June and I are on the same page about this.

45:23Finally, finally.

45:28Well, let's hear the dumbest line of all time. I guess I'm just not used to being chased around a mall in the middle of the night by killer robots.

45:39Good boyfriend. My favorite part is same character, Brunette, is at one point has a calculator and is making calculations. I got that too. You have that too? Okay, good. I mean, you could explain it either way. I couldn't understand what this was even about. So before this scene, when they're driving to the mall, they're in, I think, okay, and correct me if I'm wrong, they have started a business with their wedding money. An auto repair. An auto repair business, the two of them. And she's great at it, and he's not so great. I like that. And I think what we're supposed to think is because they're not that great at it that the business is not doing that well.

46:25But they're still going to try to have a fun night. Right. I thought it was we spent all of our money on this auto repair shop. We can't go out and party, so let's go fucking them all. That's what I thought. We spent all our wedding money opening this business. Oh, so you're saying they couldn't go out to dinner? See, I felt like they spent all their wedding money on the business and so now had to, like, fuck in front of other people for money.

46:55But I'm serious. What is this? Well, I think... What is she calculating? Well, I think this is her having a mental breakdown. But we're here. Like, I have a theory here. According to my calculations, provided we survive the night of course, we're going to be in Hawk to this place for the next 85 years.

47:19How many tune-ups is that? Just a sec. She's so annoyed that he asked me. Two million. Nine hundred thousand four hundred and thirty-one. Maybe we should raise our rates.

47:38That's the we're going to need a bigger boat of this movie. What is she saying in the beginning of that? That she's 85 years? Now I think I got it. I think she thinks that they are going to they are going to be financially responsible for the damage in the mall? for the damage done to the mall by the robots that have literally murdered their friends they should not be small business owners so while hiding from the killer robots she is calculating their financial responsibility she's so convinced they're gonna get fucked somehow by the system. She's like, if we manage to survive the night against killer robots, we're for sure going to have to pay for the damage to the mall.

48:27Well, that's why I feel like... The mall will not be responsible. She should be like, we're going to be rich. Set for life. But that's why I feel like she's having a clear mental break. It's like, should we just hide here? Well, I'll just calculate how much... And that means that she's also calculating damage. Like, we blew up that cigarette machine. Flower vase. I'm going to go with that and say it's 200. It doesn't even look like she's hitting a calculator either. It looks like she's just tapping a notebook. But look, it's not even a long-form calculator, so that means that she's not made a single mistake.

49:01She's like, 200. It's a very basic calculator. Well, look, I think that they basically were like, hey, look, we need this scene because the movie right now is coming at 64 minutes. By this logic, she could just as easily be like, oh no, we killed that janitor. We did this. She's taking personal responsibility for everything. And I thought for sure that her mechanic skills were going to come back at some point to help dismantle a robot. That never happened. Well, they don't even let the girl who's good at shooting fucking shoot a gun. After she's shown, she can sharpshoot. Like, bam, it explodes.

49:42Then the next thing when everyone's shooting guns, she's like standing there without a gun, like cowering behind a mannequin. It's like, give her the fucking gun. Okay, I've got another question. When they're like, when it's her idea, smartly, to create a diversion using the mannequins, why are they hidden amongst the mannequins? If your idea is, let's put the mannequins out so the robots shoot the mannequins, don't mix yourselves in. because it's, it's, the mannequins allow you to go hide. That's the point. You're not like, ooh, now we're camouflaged within because they'll just shoot everything.

50:21What, are you stupid? Fucking go hide somewhere. And they're all like.

50:30You fucking assholes. Listen, I think when you know it's a mall movie, you expect that our characters are going to be pretending to be mannequins at some point. I think they worked backwards from that. This movie needed more music. I feel like this movie needed more weird 80s music. I mean, this is rejected John Carpenter music. It's like...

50:56I do, before we go to the audience, because there's more to talk about, but I do want to talk about... Like the opening montage? What? Like the opening montage? Well, the opening montage. I want to talk about... Oh, yeah, that opening montage. Yeah. Well, let's talk about that then. Because I wanted to, can anyone describe why the dads were fighting over the video game thing? Like, so a kid is playing a video game. A dad, or I assume a dad, knocks the kid out. Then he starts playing. Then another dad's like, get out of there. And he starts playing. It just seemed like an odd, like, commentary on, like, is that what was happening in the video game places of our time?

51:28Things that happen in a mall, you know? I guess it felt like the whole opening was, okay, this is, you know, consumerism at its height. but it's also like clumsiness at its height. Like this is the age of, you know, excess and also like we all forgot how to walk. Well, especially when you see some big boobs. Like when those women in bikinis come out, the guy is like carrying a bunch of boxes. He falls. And then he's like a dog whose eyes pop out of his head in like an old Tex Avery cartoon. He's like, I got to get those. Ahoga, ahoga. I don't even understand that instinct of a guy walking out the street.

52:11That's not real. That does not happen. I would love it if the guy saw the women on the escalator and just shit his pants.

52:22That's the equivalent of what's happening. And who were those women, by the way? It was like a beauty competition. At the mall. But they do do like, they do, they do, guys, they do do like modeling, like searches and stuff. Yeah. Oh, okay. Mary. I would buy that. I would buy that at the mall. Mary, that's a good segue. How were you discovered? Well, there I was. At House of Almonds. At House of Almonds. I did work at a Discovery Channel pop-up store in a mall. Brag. Really? And there was a locker room. Oh, wow. No, there wasn't. Aw. was there a luggage tent in the middle of the mall floor that just in case you fell from an upper story the empty luggage also had stuffed animals in the tent it was full of stuffed animals our hero falls off into a just oddly not a luggage store just like a luggage pop up because that's the most common thing that you would maybe have in a mall luggage store oh my god Oh, I do want to talk about, this is the thing that blew my mind.

53:27So whenever the robots would kill somebody, like, thank you, have a nice day, right? They would say that. So when our lead actress kills the robot, like gets them all dead at the end, she says, have a nice day. And to me, I'm like, wouldn't you want to subvert it? Wouldn't you want to like, like there's nothing clever about it. I did have a nice day. Yeah, we were like, yeah, like have a nice life like you know like it's just simply like oh yeah you said that now I say that like it's like and not even the full phrase either and also I couldn't understand why they were programmed to say have a nice day if they are they're not like welcome robots at the mall customers are only there and they're only working at night they're only there at night to catch thieves I agree I did think though that that final line like I feel like they didn't nobody had like a line like you buck in a boat like you know go back you know now you're on the discount rack like there's a million things you could say or like you know like I always thought you needed another coat of paint like whatever the thing was Paul how many of these did you write one two let me get my calculator out two million four hundred and fifteen no but it's like that like it just is so anticlimactic and then she walks away from saying her have a nice day line with that limp and i really thought for a moment thought it was going to be like usual suspects like a kaiser soze moment where that limp went away and she was like the robots were all my idea i'm a robot and lasers come out of her eyes um but yeah the ending is really anticlimactic.

55:19I mean, they kill it and then the guy that they think is dead is like, nope, I was fine. Toilet paper. And the only people who did not have sex survived the movie. And that's how it should be. The fornicators were punished by the robot gods. Well, let's go into the crowd and let's talk to them about some stuff all right here we go oh my gosh you are uh you've done this show you've sang our song so many times let's see uh sir your your name uh your title for this film and besides chopping mall and your question my name's tim i'd go with the original title kill bots yes the movie was called kill bots it was released in the theaters and then pulled because no one wanted to see a movie called Killbots.

56:12They released it a few months later as Chopping Mall was much more successful. And the doctor that you talked about who's at the top of the movie, his name is Dr. Carrington. And I was wondering if it's possible that he's the father of Michael Carrington and this is a shared universe with Grease 2. Wow. Talk amongst yourselves up there. I'd say maybe, but he wasn't British and Michael is, so it just doesn't seem likely. stupid question tim stupid question sorry uh next question let's see next question what's your name your alternate title and your question uh my name's chris the alternate title i think should be um laser bots laser bots got it love it because they didn't chop anybody you're right they did not chop uh i was just sometimes throat punctured puncture bots they uh they roadhoused that first guy.

57:09Yeah, there's a lot of throat ripping and I don't understand why they wouldn't just use lasers at all times. Always, always use a laser. Well, I guess I don't also know, like, what would a chop be? Well, like a slicing them up. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. I was just wondering if they had any lawsuits from all the big name advertisements that were in the movie, like GE and Coca-Cola and all those. Yeah, nothing was covered in the movie. Like, nothing at all was... I think all those companies were happy to have this as a representation of their products, especially probably the paint company. It's like, apparently our paint is incredibly flammable.

57:49And so many different shades. Look at all the different shades. That's not a good sign for somebody redoing their house. I mean, that store blew up. It really did. That was the one shot that was... I mean, she, in what? I'm going to say one and a half minutes, emptied 70 gallons of paint. They quick cut to her being like, crank, crank. She opened so much paint. Okay, your name, your alternate title, and your question. My name is Bree. I'd go with Furniture Store Fuck Sesh Interrupted. Say it again, Paul. Wait, what is it? Furniture Store Fuck Sesh Interrupted. Okay. It's a longer title, but I like it.

58:31I like Fuck Sesh Interrupted. What guest appearance from another How Did This Get Made movie all-star would be better to help improve the film. Would it be Gene Simmons' character in Runaway or Hollywood Montrose from Mannequin 2 on the movie? Wow, this is interesting. So we've done a few mall-based films. Who would we like to see? Mall-based and robot-based movie. So we have Gene Simmons as the evil inventor of the spider robot from the Tom Selleck movie Runaway. I will say, I I don't know that I would choose Hollywood, but I would have loved it if one of the characters in this movie was a come-to-life mannequin in the mall.

59:14So if they were at the furniture storage and then one of the mannequins was just like, I'm here too, let's do it. What if when the robots were firing at the mannequins, one came to life like, oh, I'm going to die. Like, here's things I want. I don't want aliens versus predator. I want mannequin versus robot.

59:41Okay, MBR. Okay, so your name, your alternate title, and your question. Name is Robert. Alternate title would be Chop Till You Drop. Oh, I like that one. Good. There's no chopping. It's more pinching. Yeah, okay, but I'll take it, yeah. And my question is, are the robots possessed? Because they're totally fucking with that guy in the beginning of the movie, the guy inside the security station. What's going on with that? I don't think they're possessed. I just think they're hilarious.

1:00:09That's what I meant by they kept looking at each other like, get a load of this. I also like the guy holding up a centerfold and just like, oh, yeah. Did that happen at work? Fuck yeah. But I think your question speaks to a larger point, and what you were saying too, Jason, and the personality of the robots, it's hard to pin down because they don't, I can't believe I'm going to say this, they don't feel evil to me. Wow. It doesn't feel like their motivations are purely bad. From someone who questioned the moral goodness of BB-8. I know. You are on board for three murderous robots. No, I think they felt...

1:00:54Misunderstood? Question mark? They felt like spoiled brats. You know, but they didn't feel... So they were the teenagers of the movie. Yes, they felt like teens. Like a bunch of male, white male teens. That's the teen fuckfest! That's the teen fuckfest! So they weren't invited to the fuckfest, so they went out and killed them? Interesting. All right, we've uncovered something. I don't know what. Sir, your name, your alternate title, and your question. My name is Bill. Alternate title is Mall of Killmerica. question is during the scene that they had the furniture storgey they see a lot of good it fucking works a lot of good fucking work a good punning over there doesn't it feel good to say doesn't it feel great to say storgey the song that was playing during that when they were dancing was a song called street walking followed up with the line it's the best that i can do which is the theme for Roger Corman's street walking movie as well so this is also a shared universe with street walking wow alright so we're going deep into the Roger Corman everything here the Corman verse I love that street walking you know the one thing that I noticed in this movie too and it's just again goes to like the laziness of some moments of it some all of it is a PA announcement was like attention, there's a lost child in the lingerie department.

1:02:21And then they go, answers to the name Stephen. Answers to the name? That means somebody was like, Mark, Peter, Billy, William, Frank, Mitch, Glenn, Gary, Marcus, Ross, Ross Geller. Why would you ever go like, But even when it finally works, when you go, whose name is Stephen? Through process of elimination, we found out it's Stephen. I think I've done everything. Stephen? Yes. It's Stephen. By the way, smart kid. Found him in the lingerie department. Kid gets it. Your name, your all title, and your question. My name is Cecily, and I don't really have a good title. I don't really have a good title.

1:03:11Easily avoidable decisions, the film. and then I just wanted to point out that on the Wikipedia page there's a blurb where it says that it's one of the only films where when they aired it on TV they had to make it longer by like 20 minutes like they extended it to a 90 minute film that is amazing what? because it couldn't make I guess they probably have a two hour slot that TV needs to fill so with the full credits and everything and commercials and opening montage It's only 77 minutes, so even a 90-minute movie is the normal two-hour filler. That's crazy. Where did they find this extra footage?

1:03:50They added the scene where the virgins are watching the old movie. They just extended that for a really long time. They showed 11 minutes of that movie.

1:04:04You saw the third act of a monster movie just close up on a television in the furniture store. Who has a good question? One last question. Tonight, by the way, everybody asking questions are getting some comic books from our friends over at Coliseum of Comics and also zines from Daniel Joel Katz who makes his own zines about movies. Who has a good one? Who feels really confident? Oh, wow, this guy feels really confident. All right. No animated hands. All right. Because you have a book. I see a book. Books always make me feel like there is some thought here. All right, let's see. Oh, and a blazer.

1:04:40And a book and a blazer. All right, let's see. All right, sir, here you go. Your name, you're all telling. We're going to Largo. I wore a blazer. I like it. It's respectful. And a pocket square. I want people to start dressing up as the characters from these movies when they come here, but you didn't do that. Here you go. Name's Brian. Rambo Graham. Okay, great. So I want to bring up the women in the beginning with the bikinis. They're wearing sashes, and what they said were the Park Plaza Mall, The future is now. Have a ball and take the kids. So they were like a walking advertisement for the mall.

1:05:18That's amazing. Take the kids. The future is now. What if you just like saw them wandering independently? So there's just a woman with a sash that says take the kids.

1:05:33Yeah, they have to stay together. Some creep's like, I got the go-ahead. I got the go-ahead that I've been looking for. I finally got a message from God.

1:05:45Take the kids. This is the original poster for Kill Bots, just a big picture of the robot, which they clearly then just replaced with a mall. Obviously, we had an opinion about this film, but there are other people out there that had a different opinion. It's now time for second opinions. Here's David and Kate. I have an opinion, but here it does not matter. At how did this get made? Second opinions are much better. Amazon has them all. Paul reads them out with glee. Second opinion bring much joy to all of you and me. Kumate.

1:06:25And now here's Kate. Hey, hey, just saw a really bad movie. Hey, hey, it couldn't end too soon Hey, hey, it was a super bad movie But I'd do just about anything for Jason, Paul, and June Now I've got an opinion and it's pretty low But there's just some people for whom that isn't so This is their opinion, their second opinion Amazing! Wow! Good job! both winners holy moly that's how it's done that is how it is done Kate, David amazing, wow those were awesome, holy cow that was just great a lot of people are going to be driving home tonight really angry you should have gotten up there you said you were gonna, you should have that's the way to come come with some lyrics that was awesome Very good.

1:07:28That was great. All right, so obviously second opinions here are a little bit hard to find. Still waiting for a full band to show up someday. Does anybody have anything? Like people with saxophones and guitars. Where can we set up? All right, this one is from. Can we get a sound check? This one here is from Robin B. McGorm. This was back in 2013. Security robots. Yes, they sound good. Trained to kill and shoot all trespassers. Even forget to listen to all orders. and commands sound like little terrors to me. Well, on the first night, they do their job at a shopping mall that has some shop assistants staying for a bit of fun.

1:08:08The fun you do when your folks aren't home to interrupt your basic needs. When your folks aren't home at the mall. And then, first class entertainment that will not be forgotten too soon. Different and surprisingly marvelous to watch. plenty of action and suspense that you wonder where the little horrors are so you have to be on your toes at all times. Sit and relax, grab the popcorn, put your feet up, and rate this an A-plus grade for an unforgettable enjoyment of a wonderful show. It's like an odd... A wonderful show? A wonderful show and seems to have this idea like these little terrors getting in and mixing it up.

1:08:52These scamps. Yeah. These incorrigible kill bots. This one got me a little bit... I want to unpack it a little bit. This one was just written as one of my all-time favorite 80s horror movies. It's been a while since I last saw this movie, and it still gives me that guilty pleasure of seeing robots kill those teenagers. Uh-oh. That's not a guilty pleasure. That's a red flag, my friend. Just like the feeling I get when I put kittens into buckets of water, this movie makes me feel what other people call alive. And then goes, favorite scene was when the girl gets her head blown off by the laser beam.

1:09:39Dot, dot, dot. Love it. So if you... Dot, dot, dot. I directed this movie. I'm a creep. If you ever encounter Rob Robles, beware. and then finally this is from the Sultan of Sexy I believe it it goes like this if you were in your 20s back when this came out like I was, all you cared about was how much skin you saw and how much gore got thrown at you there could have been a bit more skin but I guess we can't have everything it's worth the money even if Miss Maroney kept her clothes on darn it five stars

1:10:25so there we go were these all written by the director these oddly also are all written within the the late 2000s this was written in 2010 that last one the guy who likes to see teenagers get killed that was in 2017 and then the first one was in 2013. These people are checking into this movie a little bit later. Well, I think we talked about everything there is to talk about. We really got a whole viewpoint in here. But let's talk about what everyone's got going on. Mary, what do you want to plug? You can follow me on Twitter at mholland85 and I post about shows that I'm doing here at Largo and at UCB and other things coming up.

1:11:10You're going to be on Veep the Season, which is very exciting. Yes, on Veep the Season. I did an episode of Drive Share on Go 90. Yes, Drive Share, which is on the show that Rob and I did, Rob Pupil and I, and that's on Go 90. Yeah, super fun stuff. Yeah. June. Raise and break it comes out March 24th. Right. The third season.
