Fellow fiends, welcome to another terrifying and delectable episode of nightmare on film Street the horror podcast with zero credibility, but all of the blood ghouls. And Gore your puny heart can handle let's give a grave Welcome to our hosts John and Kim. Hello again fiends and welcome to nightmare on film street. I'm John Kim and this week we are discussing Legends of horror. That is legendary figures. Yep you in horror movie yet, not necessarily legendary directors or any well-known people, you know, this sounds like a real bad start because Wishmaster full of legendary figures in Horror. Oh, that's so true speaking of which We will be talking about 1997's wish master and 1993's leprechaun both involve legendary figures is Jim and the leprechaun mythical creatures. I don't think they're creatures their mythical. I guess they are creatures not go monsters in horror before we get started Kim what's keeping you creepy this week. Well, it has been two weeks since we've talked to you guys. So what's keeping your creepy this fortnight. Yeah, so it's been two weeks since we've talked to you guys in between that time. We caught escape room which is in theaters now did upload a picture on exclusive episode where we did a full review on that. So if you want to hear that that's at patreon.com slash Nightmare On Film street, but what did you think about escape room John escape room, it's pretty good had some fun rooms, you know, come come come for the Escape stay for Tyler labine forget about the ending. Yeah. The ending was not the best. But definitely set themselves up nice and tidy for a sequel which will definitely be probably in the works very soon. I would think so this seems like a franchise in the making hmm. And you saw what should be though because the the escape room model sets up for some really unique and fun movies in the same way that I would say Final Destination is really well set up for sequels because it's very compartmentalized and you have kind of a it factor for what? You are looking for with Final Destination which why I brought it up is going to say I was like, you know, we're getting a reboot but with that it you're just looking for fun unique kills that really fun premonition of the beginning and that's really all you need to do. You don't need to serve up a whole bunch of character development a whole whack of plot other than just people running away from death and in the scape room. It's just interesting rooms interesting traps and seeing some characters fall victim to Those traps. Yeah, so no potential sequel. You don't even need to explain them as an escape room. You just need to have four people five people in a room. And then oh my God doors locked were in the movie now. Yeah, so I will definitely be keeping my ears down for a sequel this movie was it was okay that but the Escape rooms were really neat and they were very ornate so it'll be interesting to see where they go from here because they've already done some really cool inside outside upside down. Yeah oven room. They're waiting for like this super crazy. Z Channel Zero no end house type segment of that franchise where just gets real friggin weird. Like this is the room that has a ghost in it. You're like fuck real quick before we move on though. What's like your dream opening for a new Final Destination movie while you think about that because I'm just Blindside you with that question me. It's set 80 years in the future and space tourism is a big thing now, so everybody's it's Exactly, like the first movie except an airplane going to France. We are on a spaceship going to the moon and we blow up on the fucking Landing Pad. We hurl ourselves across the Horizon. It's like it's a gravity but it's a horror movie and we snap back and he's like we gotta get out of the space pod. Like I'm so ready for like a final destination in space type movie. It's just so good. It's so funny. You say that because I tweeted about this a few months ago. My ideal Final Destination sequel is like Pilgrim Village. Age like 1602 Church burns down like all the villagers are like on fire. Yeah, and there's a premonition and then it's like the person with a premonition is also trying to derive the villagers thinking there. Which oh, this is so good. This is brilliant. Yeah. Yeah where my second pick is a wedding because Final Destination has a whole bunch of people who don't necessarily belong together. They're not friends. You have a variety of Ages weddings and incomes and stuff and what perfect place than a wedding. You got like Aunt Millie. You have a bride. Is made you have a cousin who's like 12 we flip that on your right here destination wedding on the moon. I need I need that. I need that franchise to go into space Kim Final Destination the final frontier or later Final Destination causing the witch trials. Yeah. Yeah first destination initial destination. Is that your moon titles? You're working on over there? No, we're good. Yeah, I'm working on potential titles for yours. I thought it was yours like first destination moon. No yours because we're going back to where it all began. And of course before we move on. I want to give a big shout-out to You are most recent patreon supporters. Sarah William. Chloe and Todd.

So those of you across the pond and the UK and wherever you're from can get a chance to listen and tune in this time. We're gonna talk glass the movie which comes out this weekend and play some trivia excited to see glass. Okay, but I mean as somebody who just re-watched. Double you excited to see glass that sounds like somebody who also just saw split again. Unbreakable is really good. I mean, I don't think anybody can anybody can argue with that unbreakable is fucking good and re-watching it. It's still fucking good split. It's okay. Yeah and glass feels like none of those so it will be interesting to see what it is. Yeah, it's I feel like it might shyamalan's conned me into seeing a superhero film and I'm really present. I'm really not okay with that. Yeah, unbreakable is a superhero as I get because it's dark and it's like brooding split is a little less dark and it's a little less brooding and it's just like but you this is sort of a horror film if you squint and and glass is not it's gonna have two hundred percent more flipped cars a hundred percent. So we'll see that's enough superhero talk. Let's talk about magical figures Legendary Legendary big first up Wishmaster from 1997. For centuries, it has remained hidden watching waiting. And now he is coming. He knows your secret hopes. He sees your private dreams and he can grant your every desire where were not read. Man, how about a million dollars, even if it kills you as you wish? Beg for your life pray for your soul, but whatever you do ready to play Don't Make A Wish careful what you wish for? So Wishmaster from 1997 directed by Robert kurtzman Wishmaster is currently sitting at a five point eight out of ten on IMDb 23 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Whoo. Yeah, and and a strong 2.8 out of five on letterboxed. That's actually pretty high for litter box. I know it's so insane that that's double the percentage you're getting on Rotten Tomatoes. Sorry. I just noticed a new Freckle, okay. Update everybody Freckle watch 2019. I got a new one starting off strong. It's a good New Year's resolution that I gotta give you credit more freckles. No, I don't want any more freckles. Okay. Well, maybe if you squeeze real hard, you can get freckles it ear or give myself an aneurysm one of the two at the very least of your problems are over. So wish master, I don't think I'd seen this movie before which surprises the hell out of me. Yeah. This is your movie. It would have been yeah. It was just too far off my radar and too far into horror for my parents to have allowed me to watch it. I wasn't allowed to watch this when it came in. There's another one of those ones where my dad told me the entire plot because you can't see it too. Scary. Let me tell you everything I might have rented it at the cottage but that was so long ago that I had no memory of it. It feels familiar, but mainly mainly because it it feels like a Tales from the Crypt episode Really Gonna Tales from the Crypt movie. So watching it. Like I was really unfamiliar with it, but I had this weird like deja vu like I should know what this is and I know what this is, but I don't know what this is in horror cameos out the Wazoo in this movie, right so many people in this and in fun tiny security guard bouncer except Robert Englund who's like, I'm the art dealer more like, of course you are Robert. Yeah. He's in he's in a pretty good chunk of this movie is not as Ted Raimi if you're not a professor you're either. Freddy Krueger or an art dealer and sometimes if possible and evil one of all of those. Yep. Yep, pretty much. Yeah. I don't think he's evil in this he could he could have been evil had have been given enough time. He definitely looks like he wants to be he cares about his collection more than he cares about people but I mean throwing a really great party. Yeah. Oh the best parties exactly. So yeah, that's right way around through the plot of this. It's what opens really cool as my one of my favorite parts of the whole movie. It's got this like really Arabian Nights Vibe or in like a Persian Persian bath house. If you want to call it that I mean, I honestly think it's just kind of a king's Palace for a brothel. No, it's definitely like a den of inequity. I mean, hey, if you're the king you're like his wife is like at her mother-in-law's so that the palace has become the den of iniquity and the Persian Emperor weekend in Persia. We got the nacho dip nacho dip is made. Lives. Yeah, so he's got the gym at that point and obviously he's wishing wishing willy-nilly and all of his like hand crew are being turned into crazy-ass shit and the and it is like on fast forward with the special effects. I wish that scene was longer almost but it's kind of weird because we've already seen the title card. So you're expecting that to be a title card. It's a weird placement. Yeah, because we're already getting into the movie. We've seen the title. We've gotten a whole bunch of of Mythology via wall of text. Yeah. Well, it's narrated by Angus scrimm till we're ready to start and here we are in Persia and we're just doing this whole mythology thing where the Gin gets tapped trapped in the Ruby or the emerald or Ruby or Amber really whatever it is. It's a big red gem. Yeah the like his right-hand man. Like I guess that's his sorcerer. I think that's his sorcerer. Yeah, but his whole crew gets just obliterated in like Fantastical practical special effects way. Is my absolute favorite is the goopy gory? Skeleton that's running around for like oh, yeah half minutes. Yeah. I wish the Jin had like an Mo and that's okay and those creatures that we saw in the beginning where the exact same creatures from the party even though we'll talk about the party later because the party later does have some really great practical effects, but I love them like the mythological nature of what everybody turns into way back when yeah because one guy I like turns into a snake got another person who Is just like sort of sucked into a wall and Stow that that is wonderful. And you only see that wall for a split second. It's like let me see it more that weird woman was like turning into a tree thing loved it. Yeah, and and then Flash Forward in the future. Yeah, and that's when we meet Robert Englund. Who is this art dealer who's importing a very important statue with his assistant Ted Raimi who unfortunately get squashed by set statue. Oh, yeah, because the crane operator is drinking on the job, which unfortunately I didn't pay attention. Into the first time and John was like Kevin's is really important. You gotta see that he's drinking on the job. Yeah. Okay drinking on the job such a tiny detail that I was like, I really don't want to call this out. But I told they did. Well I had to ruin the movie. Yeah, you're like, oh, well, it's like when you watch a TV show and they go previously on all the important bits like oh, well, I you know how I hate is like hello. This is from Twitter centons ago. There's like, well, I know exactly how this shows playing out if there's one thing we could petition. One for in the New Year guys. It's intermissions and movies. Hey, I want to tack on to that bill just say hey. Hey, no more previously ons if you like, you know, what make them available and if you need them, you can click here to watch it. I don't want a click here to skip this I want to click here for recap. I want to I want I want us to opt into that. He kept on Demand by default. We are opted out. I don't think there's previously ons on Netflix. There are Not on every show and I find they only do it when you like left for a day or a month and come back to the season ago back on intermissions. Yeah. Well, I think they are important is as Cinemas expand to being date night event warehouses sure. They are beginning to offer more foods and beverages on their menus including in-house dining and drinking if you're drinking alcohol, you want an intermission? Okay 4p sure and not missing the movie I guess. Somebody who misses the movie a lot. I would like an intermittent. All right. I mean like there's definitely a case for him. But and that's the same reason why I don't drink in the theater because I was like, well, I'm definitely going to miss some of this film got to get that run p app. Yeah, but then you're looking on your phone and you're being a double assholes was just like squeaky shoes is about to get up and she was on her phone first. Well, I think the idea there is that you look beforehand and you're like, okay. I planned it out. Yeah because they're very vague about. All right, so I'm going to drink all the soda in the first third of the film so that By the second third of the film. Well, they say two things like when this character goes into this room with this painting you're good to go. And then while you go you click a button and you get to read what you're missing or if your theater is nice and it's like a small Repertory Theater. Like I hear the new Bev is in La they have the audio for the movie piped into the that's so smart. Yeah, it's hard to do in a Megaplex though, right? Unless you had a bathroom that's literally attached to your movie. They did that one set where it was somewhere in Niagara on the Lake. We went to see Sweeney Todd and I had to excuse myself. Well, yeah, like the Shah theater. It's one theater. They had screens in there and you could watch it's pretty good like the play while you're washing your hands and stuff. But yeah, it was pretty cool. And then I had to wait for like a break in the action so they would let me back in and I was like, oh my God, but I can watch it on the screen which I guess is okay. So, where are we in this film Squad? Yeah squashed. So after being squashed, of course the Gem Pops out some guy takes it Panza and it makes its way from person to person. Listen until the genie Jim is summoned again. And you know it sure it's like you're your basic Aladdin story you get three wishes, but the twist here is that not only do you get three wishes. It's that whoever summons the Jin after that Third Wish gives the Gin enough power to open the portal between like the hell and Earth and let like a bunch of baddies up. Yeah bad guys win. Yeah, that's what it is. So whoever summons the gin. Cannot have a third wish but he's he gives them a free wish. Well, it's yeah, right. Yeah, you want free one. You want to taste test this that's like the scene in bedazzled where he gets a burger where you gets didn't even get any fries. Yeah, but that's not a free wish because he's do you think about fruition when it counts towards his wishes and that's which I think is BS. Oh man. Yeah. So Alex, who's the or not going to refer to is Alexandra, Alexandra? You ever met anybody? Named Alexandra, maybe is the one that wakes up the Gin because she's putting it through her lasers or looking through this because she Rises like I don't know if it's necessarily because she breathes on it, but she does breathe on it. Okay. I love how we can completely twist and be very creative with all of the aspects of of the cultural Genies story that we have in North America. But Robin it that's we keep that that's how yeah out of the box sick classic Genie and they even say look know. It's not like that Robin Williams or whatever and it blew my mind that this movie came out after Aladdin. Oh, my mind was blown the whole film. I was like, I can't believe that Robin Williams is Genie exists when this movie came out don't you know, wow, I guess the the cartoons are forever. They don't they're not dated like live-action. Boom. Well, the only problem with the with Aladdin is that it is a little dated because because it's Robin Williams, he's got all these pop cultural references. So I guess that's true. Yeah, you should do a kid now I bet they don't even like what I think Got it out there like yeah Johnny Carson like as a six-year-old my gonna know any of that shit. Yeah, my biggest problem with this film is the Jinn is too evil. Okay, there's no steaks because of how good he is at convincing people to wish things every single person. He interacts with is dead in dead or has sold their soul to him in 20 seconds or less and he's super efficient and that's great or whatever but those steaks and those scenes are so low for me because I've caught on pretty quickly by the time the Phantasm guy has cancer that he's getting whatever he wants and and honestly the way he gets people to wish is such a cop-out. Okay literally is like so you wish it right and they're like, yeah, I wish it. Yeah, like haha runs away like yeah. I mean in this movie, it's not even you can't yet. It's not even you don't have to say the word wish so you just like sure I mean You can now I'd love to see this I'd I wish I could I hope to have that wouldn't this rate would like for something and he's like, yeah, so so any any want or desire right? I'm fine with that that's not wish to to my name is about to be a consent. Those people need to know that they're wishing from a genie. So two things here one, they are bound by their word. He's Bound by there's he and he know he can't help but make wishes. So I mean like there's There's something built in there. But but two things that I think really address your point 1 this is a special effects Driven movie. It is all about chat is true. Moment-to-moment. What are we gonna do and the the craziest thing and I mean, I mean it's directed by Robert kurtzman who is a special effects guy. The weakest points of this movie is anything regarding CGI because it's a practical effects spectacle. But secondly there is this really great moment, which sums up everything where Alex Goes to talk when she goes to talk to the Master of all of these cultural myths and legends. I love her by the way. She's great in this movie so sassy and yeah really fun way, but when she's later when she's actually already become the gin and he's impersonating her. He's like her to like level 12. Yes, but he's still trying to be her but he's also joining it up like yeah her performance. There is great. Yeah, he is nasty like he's playing a nasty lady. Absolutely and she does a great job with it. And that's the scene I'm talking about. About because he's explaining to her and he's really boasting. Hey, you know if this gin character came to your world ruled by reason that is essentially scientifically driven, he would be unmatched and all-powerful and not only that no one would ever believe that what he could do is possible so they could all be tricked like, oh, yeah sure wishes come true. Yeah, whatever. I wish my entire family was dead and then boom they're dead. Nobody is prepared for it whatsoever. So they all fall for it because nobody believes it's real and to them. It's just words and words don't mean anything but words are everything for him. That's a really great point. I think that works for the character. They've created. Yeah, and it works for the universal you're talking you're talking about like moving I'm talking when I got a level of yeah believability. I do not believe this Gene exists. There are minute. There's maybe a world in which there's a gym that I would believe in and he wouldn't do that. Powerful, I guess I guess it's because the the rules seem a little arbitrary because he was like, I gotta get power first and then I got a convinced that girl that woke me up to make her wishes. Yeah. So you're like, I guess the problem is that he's not powerful enough to get her to do her three wishes yet, but he is powerful enough to do whatever the fuck else he wants to anybody exactly. Like he's you want them to follow this community. He's just yeah walking and snapping down bodies immediately. I'm not seeing him build and strengthen. Think that least in terms of him matching The Willpower of other humans. He defeats every single other person but her well from the beginning I guess he's not powerful enough to collect their souls immediately. Maybe hmm. I do love that. He needs to he needs to call in all the souls that are owed to him in order to take Fair. See I don't like that rule either. He should have to wait for them to die. I think once he's powerful enough. Otherwise, he would have had to wait but he's gained enough power that he He can do that. It is interesting. It seems like he has to call those souls in to gain enough power to take another form, but he didn't need to do isn't that he does that right before he becomes Wendy, right? I don't know because he becomes the dream boat before he claims their souls because that's how he turns the mannequin girl, which I have to say though, when he calls the souls her as the mannequin in the back room wherever eyes roll back. I love that. Okay, so that's my only thing Everett so they die. Many things no, but that moments my favorite and then the opening Arabian Nights thing. What is my favorite part of this one's eyes were like, you know, oh so good. I know exactly what my favorite part of this movie was and you know what it creeped the shit out of me as a kid. I actually remember being scared by this moment and it's such a see it. Well when I first saw okay, I was too young. Okay. I'm so creeped out when my dad told me about this moment. To be honest. I think I ended up seeing this like a week later. I told me everything because it came out when I was 9 so I if if I had a seen this when I was 13, I don't think it would have affected me very much but somewhere around 10 or 11 or whatever when Jack the Ripper came out of that paint. Oh, yeah, you were saying I completely forgot about it. It's just his eyes and he's pretty silly Jack Tripper. He's I know that's why I'm watching it. Now. It kind of made me laugh that I was scared by him. But yeah, he's a painting version. So he's not actually the Jack he's not actually Jack the Ripper. He's an interpretation and artists had of Jack the Ripper. Yeah, it's a rent, which is what All of the art that comes to life is okay. That's a good point. Very good unless it's a statue itself, but I mean really all art is a mirrored image of a thought of a thing right is that what makes art interested except for the sister because the sister gets thrown in that painting and it's actually the sister and the painting and then he lights the painting on fire or he lights inside the painting on fire. Yeah. He turns the painting to it a painting on fire. I don't really love that scene. I like that. He does that because she's she's so tortured over the over the death of her face, but I Just love. So final showdown when they're they're all at Robert England's house. He's having a big party. They have a really fun scene where Robert Englund wishes for the best party ever. And so the Jinn just like goes crazy and kills a bunch of people with piano wires. Piano wider death is great. It is pretty great. And that's probably the best CGI use of the film. There's CGI. The piano wires moving around is CGI. Yeah, the the Kane Hodder explosion CGI. You know great. I got to assume that they tried to do something else in that scene first, like it just didn't work out. Yeah, because like, you know, if you want to get through here, you gotta go through me. Yeah, surely I could have been a really cool practical effect ripping through his body kind of sad, right? Exactly. Yeah, maybe just didn't work out. That's right like the dummy or something and then like it's fine. We'll just do something about mostly turn him into glass shards of glass. Yeah, and then instead of like opening a door like literally walking through him. He like morphs through the glass. It's like where there was a door. He now makes it a solid sheet of glass and then we and then he explodes after a desktop wallpaper. Tony Todd is also a gatekeeper. He is the security at the party and he is great in that he gets a really long. He has an emotional Arc X. Yeah with the gin and then he eventually gets like in Houdini's water trick. Yeah, because he he preys on his on his desire for something big. To escape this fucking life that he has like, here's the opportunity to escape Houdini did it in like under two minutes? Yeah. Yeah. That was good. It was great more than anybody else. That would fucking actually know what now, I'm going to keep coming back to that mannequin that mannequins the worst one because there's no way she's not fully conscious inside that mannequin, right? She definitely is because when he calls her her soul is in there. So yeah, she's in there. I'm trying to think there's any other cool deaths in that party sequence. Oh, there's a ton of great depths. There is the skeleton that jumps out of the guys body. There is the weird like ectoplasm e creature that comes at a Robert angles mouth. I don't even know what that was. Yeah, I don't know either no idea and filming that must have been hilarious because we've got this this goopy writhing thing on the floor. We just need you to put a tail on your mouth Robert. We just need you to a bob. What do me a favor put this down your mouth just like act really surprised by it and that's action got it. Oh perfect that's going into caves this crudite ha ha. This is nothing to have an anti But throughout the movie so this Alex and the Jinn are like psychically linked. So every time he claims the soul or kills a person via their own. Wish she gets like a mummy a dead zone flash most often when she's around police officers when her friends are dead. Why aren't they taking her in for questioning is just my first thought maybe because like her friend is dead the gym guy at the beginning of the movie and she's all like emotionally like Moon he's like, do you know her and he's like, yeah, he's working. On a job for me and then she has her like big psychic moment. She runs off and the head cop is like no Let Her Go Let Her Go. No, you need to question this mentally unstable woman. Yeah. Also she came to it crime see we all know the criminal will return to the crime scene didn't even ask her when she dropped the gem off like get some Alibi anything really I love how they just talk to her in front of the dead body too much even like bumps our way into a crimes like no, that's fuck. Yeah. Is he your friend? Did he look like this when you last saw him? I mean maybe that's just like the cold nature of a police officer. I remember a friend of mine who's like Uncle was a cop and we asked him about that like hey, so like you see like dead bodies because we're kids I guess it's something you're just like morbidly fascinated with and he's like, what did you see more more the job. You see more Donuts or more dead bodies. Yeah. Well the thing is he more he's just like you see more of he's like and I'm sure this is a common story with every police officer. Officers yeah, you just get desensitized to it. It's just like inventory at work. You don't even really think about it. He went to go see some guy who jumped out of a building and instead of thinking like wow, this is sad. He was like man my Egg McMuffins getting cold like he's just so cold to the world. Right? I think we get like that. That was all of our violent content. Yeah, but not with real people. Yes, it's true. Let's move on. Yeah, but yeah, so Alex this entire time haven't talked about at all. Yeah, cuz well she smokes a lot like Lot of luck. We could have paired this literally with Candyman because of the amount of smoking in the hospital. Oh, yeah. So her whole thing is she psychically linked to the gym. So she's basically trying to find out as much about him as she can. So she's as equally matched I guess for the final showdown. Hmm. So she spends the whole movie researching him which is fine and dandy, but then she goes to this final party where she knows she's going to meet the gym because you only have one wish left her sisters there the Jin knows that's her weakness. She knows that's her weakness and that he's going to exploit it. Yeah, so she goes to meet him and she has no fucking plan. Literally the final moment when she does her thing to it. Only just occurs to her the yeah, and her sister is literally on fire beside her. I just like bitch. Why didn't you stay a lot some time to formulate a plan first, even on the drive over you could have thought about your plan. Now, it's dead. You're too busy going like hmm. I wonder how I'm going to get the girls to win the next basketball - why does he teach basketball? I think we're just supposed to see that. She's like a caring person who gives back to the community. Immunity it's honestly because her life is so small this poor character fortunately. Yeah, she's but I mean, I guess they kind of fix it at the end because she has that little romantic moment where she's kind of like happy and aware of her situation, I guess and how much were sick things could have been so makes a little Bolder but she's appraiser or like a gemologist. I'm not sure her official title. That's the word they used in the movie lots of teaches. I guess it's community. Basketball because she can't be a teacher. I don't think they allow High School teachers to just coach basketball and nothing else. Yeah, but she also consults with that other teacher. So you assume she's part of Faculty. Wait, you mean Wendy? Hmm? Well she seeks her out because Robert Englund is character recommends her go talk to this woman. They could have just made her teacher, but I guess then why would she have the gemstone? Yeah, that's really had. She's just got to get the stone and pass it. She could she could be the person in the department. Of a university who studies ancient gem Department. I guess it's just kind of sad she lives with her sister and then when she's she's got to protect her sister, but so when she's obsessed about the Jinn and she's chain-smoking in her kitchen and reading her sisters like hey, I left early to give you the car and then she was like what Ford and it's so she could go to basketball the teach those kids and in that scene. You're just like, oh I bet you there's like an empty can package of cookie dough like in the garbage. Can under the sink or like she ate a whole case of Pringles or you know, something sad like that. Well, I think the smoking is the the externalization of guilt. Right? Like she her entire family died in a fire. She only had an opportunity to save her sister not her parents. So she constantly takes on that weight said she feels responsible for their death and I think smoking and breathing fire. This is her little representation. Yeah and just saying like I'm responsible micro suicides. Yeah, exactly. Just bring yourself down. It's fun. How much smoking is a story device in films in the 90s? Because nowadays people don't really smoke in film because it's not something that we do as much socially. Yeah. So if the cancer Gene might have been the first one in a long time, but if a if a character is smoking in a movie path like 1992, it isn't an intentional decision and it relates to that characters anxieties or depression or negative view towards life. Yeah. So what does she do? Wish what is her big? Wish the big wish is that so in the beginning of the movie they talked about how when she's doing the research for the incident. They focus more on the guy drinking on the job who was responsible for the death than the actual statue. I need to know more about what this statue is and where it's from and what it does. And so that's them laying the groundwork for her having all of this back story on what happened during that event so she could say I wish Michael tear and he wasn't drinking on the job on Thursday because this movie takes place over. Two and a half day and the jinns like Maja and then he realizes what he's done which undoes everything because if that guy's not drinking on the job that statute doesn't get dropped. The stone doesn't break out that guy doesn't steal it. She doesn't find it. She doesn't rub it Robert Englund has one of the greatest Showcases of it his Art House. I don't even own the Gin is still trapped inside. Yeah weird as fuck the room of dead. Forgotten God. Yeah. He's okay. That's good. I liked it. Yeah, so nice little tie up at the end. Remember like those lucky lat. I feel like with how powerful the Gin was. He could have figured out a way around that little wish will see that that's his weakness though. He can't help but but I think his ego had him granted before he realized what he was granting. I think I think he just like jumped the gun on that one and granted and then you have fuck. I think he does that with all of them. It's his hubris as a gin because he's gaining power with every wish that he So he's only thinking about the power that he's going to get from that. Plus he's also so focused on well third. Wish this is it I get to fuck him rule the world. Finally. I do want to talk about that before we move on. Yeah. What do you think about the Practical design of the Jinn when he's not that Dreamboat? Ah, he looks like kind of looks like Freddie with horns. He looks like Jeepers Creepers Lawrence. Yeah, of course, this is like, I know Power Ranger villain. Okay, that's what I was feeling. Yeah. Yeah, like he was like evil like you looks alright vs. Robots. I really like them as the Nathaniel Demarest likely that his human form. He looks so fucking Sinister as a parent as a person. He was mean to yeah, like good mean but still mean and another thing I really liked was I like the design of his like layer thing. I thought that was really cool. We like the Hellraiser room. Basically the candles were fun and the Cerberus e dogs that he had it was fun it was Big he had quite the rush. Yeah, I think about a Jeep you don't think about them having a condo inside that lamb know. It's like the trapped forever. Like I get it being trapped and not being able to like do your evil bidding that's gotta suck but it's like somebody saying we're going to put you in prison, but in a weird turn of events prison is Disney World so fucking enjoy your you're gonna be bored, but it's pretty Lush in here and it's chair looked over pretty comfy. I mean and he had friends in there. I think oh so quick question. That I'm thinking about it. If you were sentenced to 20 years in prison, but prison was Disney World. What is the and you can only stay on one ride with somebody watching. What's the one ride you wish you weren't trapped? Oh small world. You would take the small world over the Hall of Presidents. Oh God. Is that a ride? That's not a tribe. That's a okay. Well, I mean like any building any attraction room thing. You can sit in small world small world were driving. I don't want to be on a tiny like stinky boat for oh, yeah that boat moves. So slow so slow. We're like the Dumbo ride where you're just like he just got up and down. Although at least her outside with like it's a small world. It's like fucking dark in there, which is like hot. Imagine. It's fine fits the theme, you know, you say it. I'm gonna sleep in your little dune buggy. I don't know if there's anybody that wouldn't pick It's a Small World Hollow president's is a little boring but it's like me. Okay. So what's your rating of Wishmaster is 90s cheesy, but it's my brand and 90s cheesy. I give Wishmaster 2 out of 4, but it's a it's a strong two out of four. I like it, but it's not a great movie. I am also going to go to 4 but it's like a load. Oh shit. Yeah like that Jack the Ripper love, you know, I like this movie because it's got that Tales from the Crypt Vibe and it's it feels very 90s would have been a really cool Standalone Tales from the Crypt movie. I gotta I gotta give you credit for that. That was a great. That was a great pole. Yeah, but I just I just felt like he was too powerful and you're right. It was in service of getting as many practical special effects moments in there, which they do which they did and they are all really great. Fun, but yeah, it's she just she just doesn't feel like a strong enough character to beat him and then she does and you're like, oh we knew it. Yeah, she's a pretty weak character. Yeah. She was I don't know if she was stronger or she had more to do because it's not her fault as an actress like she's doing perfectly fine. You know, she's great and it's just like her their back and forth is very nothing. Mmm. Not so it's a little bit made-for-tv Yeah, cuz you're at like the conversation between them where there's a bit of a power exchange. Change when he's Wendy is great. If we had that much like I am gonna kill you if you don't make wishes, but you better start making some wishes and she doesn't want to make wishes like that. That's a cool little area but that's five minutes of the movie mmm, but moving on we are going to talk about the leprechaun from 1993. The Luck of the Irish is being packed and shipped. To a little town in South Dakota whose luck may have just run out. I like I need the police is an emergency leprechaun. It's out its out of the crate. So leprechaun from 1993 directed by Mark Jones leprechaun is currently sitting at a 4.7 out of 10 on IMDb 23 percent on Rotten Tomatoes similar to wish master and also a two point three out of five on letterbox people on letterbox, like Wishmaster more than they like leprechaun. I love this film had like a better haze around it. Like the time was kind to leprechaun. I would say that I assume more people like Leprechaun, you know maybe it's that more people have watched leprechaun and continue to watch Leprechaun which whether or not they like it has them or fluctuating score on something like better box. That's that is true because it's definitely a holiday movie whether or not it intended to be I think a lot of people watch this in April around you'll that's a really good point St. Patrick's Day. Yeah of corner the market on st. Patrick's Day horror, I will admit I've never really liked this. This movie. I also don't think I've ever really liked this movie. I really tried to give it a shot in this watch. Like I was like, okay, I'm dropping all my feelings about but I do like the leprechaun. I like the franchise as a concept. I love that. He's gone to the hood. I love that. He is gone to space. I mean like I appreciate that people have done those things and I love the zaniness of it. And I do really appreciate that the leprechaun was Silly and campy and kind of cheesy from the get-go that I really appreciate a lot of other horror franchises have kind of grown into that Nightmare on Elm Street is one of them it started out not not to it's fault or anything. I love the first Nightmare on Elm Street. I love how scary it is Freddy is he was always kind of a trickster but he was a gross and gory trickster and he became more silly and fun as the franchise went on. I would say Jason. Oh definitely. Alicia changed and evolved. I mean Jason wasn't even on the top billing of the first film so but I love that Warwick Davis got to be and embody that leprechaun character so early on in the movie. Yeah early on in the franchise and it makes sense for that villain to how you going to really make a leper mischievous Little Leprechaun. Well that it being premise is a little silly. Yeah, how scary is a villain that's only two three feet tall going to be. Yeah and especially like he's cute. Have to be over the top because he's so small. Yeah, I feel like I don't have anything to add here. It's just like Parts like that. That's also kind of just like what I don't love about the movie. I maybe it's that I have an easier time with movies that are very I don't want to say sincere because I think this movie is from the get-go. It's it's really doing what it wants to do initially. I think I like it when a franchise starts out very serious and and then grows too. Something comical like Evil Dead I guess or from Nightmare on Elm Street Friday the 13th something about this being a comedy from the get-go is maybe what I don't love about it. It might even just be that he's a silly villain like, oh, we he's gotta find the people that took his gold until middle that the plot of this movie isn't great and the story isn't well done. Sure. But how did have been executed well introducing us to a feisty little Con killer from the get-go who's witty and has zingers and one-liners. What was the right choice agreed and they did a great job with that like if their mission statement their goals, they achieved them they check those boxes. They everything that they intended to do they did and it's all there on the screen. So it's a personal preference then is what it comes down to because I think everything that they were trying to accomplish they accomplished. Yeah, and then another big problem I have is that I grew up with Willow. So I grew up with Warwick Davis as a My Hero and I really loved him for saving the day and in this he sounds very much like himself like he's doing his voice just a little bit Irish. She so like that's a little traumatizing to me. It's it kind of crushes my soul a little bit. He's great though. He's amazing. He's great. Yeah, but yeah, I'm just like well, oh so mr. O'Grady locks. Leprechaun in a crate in his basement after having a heart attack while trying to hide the evidence of his of his deceased wife and this leprechaun who's trying to murder him for stealing his gold now follow me here does mr. O'Grady go to Ireland because his mum has died. Okay, and he's bringing her ashes back to be scattered on the Family Farm but instead of bringing back her ashes. He steals a leprechauns gold and smuggles the gold in the urn so he doesn't actually Bring the ashes back. What's up? He could do both he could put him down. He gonna put the gold in the urn ashes on top hidden everything know especially from if there's anything that mr. O'Grady is it's great that is very true and drunk whole bottle of Jameson to himself from the air. I assume from the airport to his house like he finishes that bottle off in the front yard. There's no way they'd let him drink an open bottle on the airplane, but I don't know are Ireland different rules. Could be so Flash Forward how many years 10 years 20 years? I don't even know Fast Flash forward to the sometime early 90s. Here's yeah. I can't remember what her dad's name is Torie and Dad have yeah, I don't remember does he have a name JP Morgan or something or JB? It's like a two letter type a name got it. He goes by its initials. I can't remember what they are and I didn't write them down Jeep dad. So he buys this Dusty old farmhouse and Like we're gonna live here, we're gonna tear in a paint it like it's a toy play and then he exits the movie. That's it. Yeah, he gets bitten and he's gone. Like he's only around to drive Jennifer Aniston to the set and to instruct them to to paint the goofiest colors on their house like primary blue house and then bright red shutters. Yeah, no primer and nobody has power washed the house now, we're not going to sand It or Not Gonna coat it prime it nothing. We're and in fact. Painting that's the first thing we're gonna do we're gonna live here, but the whole movie John this bugged me the entire movie and I know you know this because you watched me sit through it. Yeah, like with my me wringing my hands. Nobody dusts. There are cobwebs. Like Webby ass gross hanging dangling Corner crammed in just everywhere. I want to say pounds of cobwebs, but there's probably a pound of cobwebs of them all, but that's a lot of cobwebs luck. Everywhere throughout the entire house and nobody dusts and they are staying there. But no we're going to paint the exterior. Somebody needs to wash the floor do some dusting and get some ice for the freezer. I mean clearly this was a time before HGTV the DIY Network. They haven't watched the homeowners specials whatever they're called The Love It or List it but no wonder why Jennifer Aniston is threatening to go to a hotel the whole movie. Literally the whole mood of the tarantula in the basement at me. Leprechaun, and nobody has dust it. Yeah, the entire film the whole movie. They are State they are sitting on couches and there's cobwebs. I can't handle it. I can't I cannot deal with it. I know that it made for a spooky set and like especially when that leprechaun is rolling around those Halls on the skateboard and this spooky cobwebs are everywhere that like fucking dust you wieners and they like they're paying a paint crew. Who were there the whole time like two or three days overnights as As well because you know, they're part of the family now. Yeah, they really are as soon as they show up its cousin Ozzy and Uncle Nathan little baby Alex. Why didn't they hire a maid crew atmosphere? Mmm. But yeah, I would assume that you would the painting would be the absolute last thing you do the exterior. Also, I mean, why are we harping on this weird? Like we're just your are your choices in Decor are terrible like I would change that signing that looks just like real wood siding company. But this is the first film in the franchise, they could have gone with anything for their plot and they're like, okay. So who are our main characters for this movie going to be like, okay. How about an eight year old kid because you need like a kid hero, you know Gremlin who knows more about taxes and insurance then his adult Campania and then you need like one of those like simple smart small town guys who's kind of goofy and stupid for people to like, you know laugh at and joke with and empathize with so you need him and then you need a dream. I'm boat. And if we're going to have a Dreamboat then we also have a girl that's gonna you know, be love with him and that's going to be what's makes her stay there because it's small town. She's from LA and she wants that California life. So it's like why is it a paint crew that are the main characters of this movie and what are they called three guys that paint three guys have paint one of them is eight is eight years old their future proofing with that name because eventually they will be three guys right now. They are two men and a baby. Early, did they plan on being an overnight paint crew the whole time or day decided to stay with Tori? Because her dad gets bitten by a cat pecan and yeah Yep. They're like, well, we can't leave her alone here. And this dust wagon. I think that's exactly what it is. But can we get we're strangers. Well, yeah, I know they're strangers. But let's let's maybe dad knows him. Maybe let's just focus on the cat the kitty procon kitty leprechaun can work on for a second here because that whole sequence Once how it unfolds fucking crazy so weird. So it is a weird scene so dream Boat Leaves Tori at the truck. She's in the back of the truck. She's like rifling through for primer. Whatever the guys are at the house. They are painting. She's alone at the truck and then underneath the truck Little Leprechaun caressing her leg broad fucking cloudy Blue Sky daylight and she's just like, oh no one foot off the ground. It's not as he crouched down behind her. Well, I Not a touch. Yo, ankle it's not even that he crouches down behind her reaches in front of her and caresses from the front because he's caressing the front of her leg and she's like, oh Nathan don't do what are you really here? Nathan? It's so sunny out and then one day things like wha let's go. She gets weirded out. Yeah, and then the leprechauns scratches her she switches should have infected her. She should have became a leprechaun. Oh, that would have been so fucking great curse of the leprechaun that Come in the end of the movement leprechaun is like werewolfism. I like it. And then your and then like her transformation is just her getting greedier and greedier. All right throughout the movie like why are you being such a bitch story but by the end after like leprechaun has melted and fallen into the well, she's like now, where's me go? Like that one has great credits and then just like eyes piercing through Blackness and then just maybe like a Jennifer Aniston kackley leprechaun laughing. Oh man. Can't wait for that sequel It's Gonna be lit. But so after she gets scratched she falls And she's screaming dad runs from the from nowhere. Dad was not in the scene he comes from from I don't know the break table. My dad. He senses were tingling is everything. Okay well and she's just talking about how some like something somebody scratched her and she's like 80 was caressing my leg. They go on as maybe a catch like I know the difference between a cat and a man caressing my leg the what your dad this is why also cats don't caress legs. Can we stop Sinker breath? Yeah, we couldn't come up with something else. That's full of fucking the sword so much. My yes, I had such grazing my legs so dads like the guy, you know what I hear a cat over in this tree trunk and there's literally a leprechaun in a log railing. It was just a cat we're Mound old and so he's sick this whole arm into the Drita Renee come here cat like the show like a rabid cat is gonna do whether or not they're actually a leprechaun. They're gonna bite your fucking hands. They're also gonna hide any animal is hiding is ready to put our you know, Corner any animal that's why I'm getting it. What if it was a bit like a possum or a raccoon who was like rabies anything rabies do yeah, you stick your whole goddamn. You got bit. Of course. It's on you Dad. So then in like a weird turn of events. We leave The Farmhouse we're all rushing to the emergency room because Dad's been bitten pretty bad and the doctors like I don't know. We're probably gonna have to keep him here until well after the end credits you guys better go on and have your own Adventures Yeah by yourself. So from that point on Jennifer Aniston's like I guess I'm going to hang out. With the paint crew. Yeah, and so they're at a diner and there's like some character development where we learn Jennifer Aniston may be a vegetarian but not a very good one. And then the Aussie and the kid Alex. Are they take one of the gold coins? They say, oh my God, they literally go ahead. Let's follow that fucking rainbow and they find the end of the rainbow kinds of Wordsworth Asiago sex only eats one because he's biting it to see if it's real gold. So he's got a cold. Yeah. How does that happen? I'm a bite at see if it's all I swallowed it. That's the only reason his characters so dumb. It's for that moment because none of the how would that ever happen if maybe he got scared. I mean like accidentally swallowed it sure maybe maybe because it's a cartoon world, but we didn't mention so the leprechaun has followed them on a tricycle that he found in the garage. Thanks Josh that leprechaun even though he's been trapped in a crate for like teen years or whatever has definitely been stashing miniature Transportation Systems in that shed this entire time because he goes into that shed is like it Cavern of toys for this leprechaun. Yeah at one point he comes out in a car that's like souped-up. Yeah, he's going I'm mad max-style armored car. It's pretty great. He finds a car at the pawn shop. He's got the pogo stick. He rides skateboard. He rides rollerblades. Like every option does leprechauns got it. I also like that the leprechaun nose. Silly everything is because just him riding on the tricycle. He's aware. It's silly even he's giggling to himself like this is fucking hilarious and he's just yeah, he takes off he falls him into town and unfortunately, they leave one of them coins with the pawn shop owner who does not deserve to be killed don't you think though would have been better if the leprechaun like Cape Fear style attached himself to the bottom of the truck? Yeah, that'd be great because he's got he's full of belt buckle. He is he's a walking Buckle. Yeah also, Do you think in Cape Fear that he had to string together more than one belt to time self under the carriage of the car? I don't know. I guess you could just get like a big fat guy felt, right? And then that how are you good? Maybe he holds how does that work? There's no way that it's at that's even possible. That's fine though. It's a movie. Okay, not the movie we're talking about right now infinitely more terrifying. But yeah, the leprechaun really gives nobody an opportunity to give them the gold back. He is very much kill first gold questions later because he's feisty and Happy to be free. I understand it's like Skilling. Yeah, he's feisty so I don't know if this is a hundred percent the legend of the leprechaun like the mythology of it was he just some greedy guy who sold his soul for gold because he mentions that in the movie. No, I think they're actually just mythical creatures. They're like a no more. Yeah, but what's their origin like an amp or wasn't just like God created the heavens and the leprechauns like they had to have come from somewhere. R I think they just live in the woods like fairies, right and they have gold and they're very greedy and you can trick them and take their gold but they don't like it. Yeah, I know they don't like it and I get that I guess I just liked that in this movie. They actually gave me a reason for it like why he needs that gold so bad because he's traded his soul for it's why he's Eternal I guess right like he live forever, but he'll always be fighting to keep this gold. It's like that idea. I think that's that's interesting my favorite thing though about the Is the shoe? Oh the shoe thing. I think that's such a fun little like that. He's a cobbler and he's possessed like a possessed cobbler. Oh, you just mean the idea that he's a cobbler by trade. Yeah, but not the part where they're trying to get away the second time they throw shoes and they're throwing shoes and he's like hey, but he's gotta polish all those shoes but he's almost not even mad. He's not even like oh, yeah, but like a cat with a laser pointer. Okay, we like sure. Davis like okay in this scene, you're a cat and we've been throwing toys that shit. Like what if that was just his entire motivation. Yeah, because when you when you use a laser pointer with a cat the cat knows that you're doing it because if you stop that cat will look at you me like make with the lasers but like during the kids like how yeah, I guess was a hunter named. Yeah, like they can't they can't avoid it. But yeah, they would love to be doing anything else and they know it's just a weakness of this you look even if you put it on the ceiling they're not they can't reach it, but they are fucking gonna watch without laser. Was there staring at man? I miss we gotta get a laser pointer and a cat. Oh, oh what what else happens in leprechauns? Like Hills got the Pogo which is pretty cool the pawn shop, except the cuts aren't great. Now the cats are ever see him jumping on the Pogo and I get that's hard like, yeah. I think he they pad that guy out. Right? Like I was talking about this Warrior watch. Yeah. I think they definitely tried to and it didn't work out. So there's just cuts of the pogos motions some guy and then Warwick Davis be like, yeah. We're Davis is really giving his all in this movie I got It's totally yeah that cop that pulls him over to is really giving him a hard time. Especially given that the cop thinks he's a kid and he's like, all right, you little fucker gonna pull over get out of the goddamn car you like you dis guy thinks he's talking to a child isn't it? A little late? Like even in this universe Little People definitely exist. Yeah, so maybe this is a guy coming from like, you know, like a birthday party or a play like treat him like an adult human being maybe he has a beard. Scene where they're trying to look for four-leaf clovers toward the end of the movie is really bizarre because there's just like a green floodlight on the entire area. It's like halfway through the movie they decided like, oh we can use themed lighting and yeah interesting things because so after a few escapades at the house where they can't beat the Leprechaun on their own and the leprechaun possesses the phone for a minute which is kind of interesting. He puts his hand through the phone because I guess he's got a crush on Jennifer Aniston, but so she escapes that's when they're throwing the the shoes she escapes because She's gonna go see mr. O'Grady who's now had a stroke and is in a mental facility. So she's going to see if he has any secrets on how to defeat the leprechaun. But from that moment on the film changes in style the camera angles down. The Halls are all interesting and like these are weird Turf didn't weird in the light and maybe that's supposed to be scary because she's really worried that the leprechaun does followed her so down every like Corner she turns he could be there because there's a few It's where their Shadows that may be a leprechaun and then it's not it's just a broom closet but it's warped in night Mary in a way that the rest of the movie isn't themed because the rest of the movie like bright daylight with painters paint and a half. Yeah, but once it's like once Darkness descends on the set, they all bets are off. Yeah, and they were like, we're going to use some green floodlights. We're gonna get crazy like a really cool shot where she's stepping off the truck and we just like continue to tilt with her and just like we stay on like a 35 degree angle for a while. Yeah, and this this movie is really to her sneakers. Yeah. Yeah, like she's wearing these sneakers with these like puffy pink socks and we see them a lot in the movie. Maybe it's because the leprechaun so obsessed with shoes though. It is so short that might be why okay perspective were see if also if love were standing there. That's why I'm saying. Yeah. And yeah if he were standing there this is the view we would have from his like 3-foot eyesight eyeline. Yeah. So leprechauns got a foot fetish then so he doesn't like to the growing that likes her feet. He likes Shining. Is Vienna foot fetish she'd be smelling them or caressing them something. I think the only thing I've discovered in this entire episode is that I don't like the word caress. No, it's not a nice word. Ah gross. It's like a dry version of the word moist dude. Are you one of those people that hate the word moist? Okay. I was just Hamming it up got it. My favorite word. Favorite favorite word is nebula. Yeah. I like that word. I've heard you say that before. I have another favorite word. Oh, I forgot. Do you have a favorite word? No, but that is fucking hilarious. I have another favorite word but I've forgotten it my favorite word. I don't really have a favorite word. I like for some reason. I like undulation. I don't like that. I did I think I just like uvula and I like it when I like nebula is really far removed from what I said, but I see what you're saying, but you have to Late to say you sure yeah. I know I like it in like a like a descriptor that doesn't quite make sense. Like if you are going crazy and you think everything is connected or there's some sort of weird metaphysical twist and reality how it's like an undulation. I don't ask what your favorite definition was. Okay. I just have like what words do you like to say or the sound of yeah, I think right now my favorite word might be rude but um, Villa definitions your monster. I like using really contrived words. Like I make a purpose whenever I'm writing things to use words that are like out of fashion. Sure like I use amongst instead of among like amongst. Yeah. I use swell a lot and fancy you like old-timey turn-of-the-century slasher do britches. Yes. And like unnecessary alliteration. Yeah, if I can make you rhyme in your head, I'm fucking doing it. Yeah, I can't believe you don't have a favorite word. No don't really I'm not a favorite Sky. It's why I always hate doing list not gonna break it up that old problem with that brick on is a good word leprechauns a good word. It reminds me of work Davis and the weird finale of this movie, you know, thankfully and I will say this is super great. Ozzy doesn't die in this movie. I I really like that Ozzy doesn't die. That would bum me out so much. Yeah, you're right and it's a great setup to because he's accidentally swallowed a coin leprechauns gonna need that coin back. He's got claws weight through his stomach to get to it. Like we could just as easily have a scene where the the leprechaun is playing in his intestines, right? Oh that will see that would have been good but we have would have been but if it wasn't I know yeah, I know. I know I know what I do have to give this movie for credit for is that despite how obvious it was that Ozzy swallowed that coin is I forgot when the leprechaun is all excited because Jennifer Aniston has given him his gold back. Yeah, he's like all like cutesy County and he's like when it's 3 and I was so happy for him because I was like, oh look at him. He's got his gold. I didn't realize there were still 15-20 minutes left in the movie or whatever. Yeah. I forgot Ozzy had eaten the coin. So like congratulations Veil over my eyes. I totally forgot. Yeah, and I was like, oh my God, there's a cool. Oh no Z. It's a good move. Which I think is what you're supposed to feel. I do remember being very surprised when I when I first saw this as a kid and it really got me and yeah, it's still works. It's still very good. I'm glad you forgot that sauce. And I was actually kind of sad for the leprechaun in that moment. I was so happy when I was he was so cute about it Houston Danny's like okay, we're going to count the golden egg, but it was a really sweet scene. So how would you rate this movie? Um, it's actually a really bad movie is a very bad movie. I'd and the crazy thing too, though. Of despite how bad it is. You can really see the Jennifer Aniston is a legit actress in this like she's actually not bad in this movie for an early role obviously, but I'm saying like there is there is a very good actress inside that person that you're seeing on screen. Okay, so I will say she's very compelling to watch I see star power in her whatever that whatever that je ne sais quoi is when you see somebody who became famous Chicago famous. Yeah, like I'm I To watch her. Yeah, and like I'm not a huge Jennifer Aniston family. I don't like the character that she's playing. I don't think it's well played unfortunately, but she delivers what she's given. Well, yeah, but I'm I'm definitely watching her in it. So like she I get what you're saying. I think the characters awful. Yeah. No totally agreed. Yeah, but she sells it. Well, I disagree. I don't think she she does a good job and it's moving. Okay. What do you think? She I think you have to give her credit for? Having whatever that that thing is. Yeah, the long way of saying 1.5 out of 4 right that we're saying. Oh, yeah, and that's purely because I like the leprechaun. I think we're do business. Awesome. There's nothing else really redeemable about this movie. I don't like the story. I think it was a silly decision to put why are the there? Why is there a paint crew? Why are we setting up this dad daughter relationship only to dip dad immediately. Why are there seven seat? Equals like that's the thing like it is so thin this movie like the fact that we've got so many of them it just goes to show how much people like the character. Yeah because it is solely for the character and I think because this character is a like a legendary figure that cannot be killed. He can be brought about by a different scenario every single time. He comes back. Yeah, somebody just needs to happen upon his gold which when he's dormant or whatever which will happen at the end of every movie. He cannot protect it. Yeah, exactly and I like it. Always going to find people any money which is which is gets you to like a really sensitive producers. I do videos. So your rating. Yeah when it happened for yeah, exactly. So of course not that we are necessarily the final opinion on this but based on our criteria Wishmaster is the better Legend film. Yeah, but I do want to say that before we move on. I watched leprechaun returns not too long ago. Ago that one came out just recently from sci-fi. It's on VOD. Now, I enjoyed it. It's also not great story wise but they do a nice way of so they kind of run can the sequels as was the fashion of 2018 and it takes place right after the first one which you know, I like that because I didn't keep up on this equals. I'm not up on all the the plots of those and I think that's what's so great about that move recently. Most people have seen the the original Least know the origins of that villain. Yeah and you're definitely winning back the Casual viewer. Yes, you get a new audience exact without a younger audience and and also the Casual horror fan who does not see all of them. Yeah. This is an event because it is been so long so you can get people that like me haven't seen all the other ones or don't watch them religiously. So that was were just a really smart decision. Yeah, and it's what I always I mean think it's everybody's talked about this to death, but it's it's it's it's also does service to the original movie as well. Like you're not completely nixing it and rebooting it Child's Play, but you are at least saying I can't this movie exists and it's still good and and you should also watch it and we're not going to get rid of it entirely. We're just going to add on to it a little mmm. But yeah, I think the kills are awesome the actor who plays the leprechaun it isn't Warwick Davis in this one. It's a new actor, which I can't remember his name. It's like Lucas Porto. I can't remember them. He Actually really good and his one-liners are great. They do kind of they don't do the exact same leprechaun. He's still feisty. He's so witty. He's still silly. He's got an updated outfit. He's got a different hair and different style. He's good. He's really good. The Kills are great. Did I ever say that kills our great? Yeah. He's great special effects. Yeah. I think I actually like it more than the first one. But either way let us know what you thought of Wishmaster and leprechaun I'm certain you've re-watched Leprechaun the last little while I'll if not, you are gearing up to watch it soon. I have no idea when st. Patrick's Day is but I know it's Mom wear around my said April but it is I think it's March still a little cold outside not quite warm yet. It's coming up soon.
