Oh, oh my 2006 I sure hope you guys know what you're getting into it this way. Oh, you know what? It's hard to say who's going to enjoy this more the people that did the that that the people that did watch it ahead of time and maybe unsubscribed from the show because of him or the people that have yet to unsubscribe. Enjoy the weirdness. That is Taxidermy. A' So Taxidermy affirm 2006 currently sitting at a 7 out of 10 on IMDb 81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes 83 percent on Metacritic and a 3 point 4 out of 5. Five on letterbox. It seems like the people who reviewed this movie have iron stomach. I was gonna say you already talked about some gross stuff. Yeah. So leading into this. I would really like to hear from you if you watch this movie for the very first time on our recommendation. Oh, yeah. And how many times you barfed? Yeah, or just work just barfed in your mouth. Not a full out in are barf would do I'll count that. What's the point of this movie where you are barfed the most I are barfed. When did I are barf? I did an air by me first. She should know that woman. When did I barf not barf barf are barf. It's when the guys are purging after all they're eating but it's Handled, I handled most of it. I had to look away at one point because I was just like this is this is too too much and then he just goes back for another one. So casual actually what I think got you the most was when the guy had the aerosol can that he just like put into his mouth. Yeah, it sounds like what is that and Really leading into it. Like what's he doing? Oh God. I really really not we haven't even touched the surface of the wildest stuff in this movie, but I would single section of this movie has something for everyone to hear. Okay. Good night. That was wondering how you were going to finish that sentence Oh, yeah, like II would also like to hear from everybody who has not watched this movie and listen to this podcast because it's not going to make any fucking sense to you. Yeah, it's this. Is the strangest film because as much as it is a gross Out movie it is definitely a piece of Cinema and saying that it it's got a point in a message and it's very Artful and cinematic and beautiful and the music is great and the visuals are wonderful, but then it is also really confronting and disgusting. Oh, yeah. It's cute and ugly shoot is I guess the 50 the stuff is very cute. It's got some stuff like where you're just like, oh man, they're so You together and then you like oh man, this is disgusting. This is horrifying. This is perverted. This is horrible. This is scary and I think that's because this movie is about life, right? Like life is all of those things. There is no life that is not marred by Tragedy by idiocy by Horror by love. Like it's it has all of those aspects just mashed together and you gotta take all of the worst parts. For all of the bad parts. Yeah, and I think there's a kind of a getting into the themes of we're going to get into these. I think there's a really nihilistic view of this movie in that if nothing matters at all and life is just this like beautiful happenstance. Then everything about life is beautiful, even the disgusting perverted gross weird stuff. Like if just if there's a really great monologue at the very beginning of the film, which kind of is a Around which I don't know if I notice when we first watched this movie because when we first watched this we were teenagers still I think which is I I'm going to side note side note side note. I had a much stronger stomach back then I don't think we were vegan at that point. So a lot of the like pig guts and surgery moments didn't really get to me as much as they did now. I he looked away just as much as you look away now and I think it comes down to if I knew it was special effects. I would have been able to watch but for a lot of them. Like it's a lot cheaper just to get a bunch of pig parts from the butcher. So I'm just going to not watch this stuff because it wouldn't make sense for them financially to not use a dead pig there. And I personally I just I don't want to watch that stuff, which is the same reason why I don't watch Cannibal Holocaust because I don't think I can just because I know it's real like that's just a little hurdle that my brain can't get over with you. Another Cannibal Holocaust is real but the animal there is some real animal. Views in that movie and I just I my brain we're not going there. Honestly. I'm okay with watching with watching things get hurt in movies because movies aren't real people or thing animals or things anything gets like hurt or killed on camera then I don't think so. No one is getting hurt in this movie. But I definitely believe they're using the affordable convenience of you know organs over certain parts from Um for sure be there's there's no way that in that surgical scene. They're not touring around the carcass of something because that's shit looks way too real. Yeah when they're cutting open like okay, so but you were talking about a monologue at the beginning of the movie. Yes. So sorry I side noted way too many times. That's okay. This film has a really great point in that it It's talking about for the end of a life to matter everything that came before it would also have to matter and then the movie becomes this visual assault of disgusting really weird characters and their lineage and how not everything is what it seems. But the the only thing I can take away from that is that we're supposed to see everything kind of at face value like in a way that we're like idealizing by not idealizing. Okay, does that make sense a little yeah, but get this really romantic but nihilistic way to look at the world like this is all beautiful and we're tromping around in pig shit. Yeah, like it's beautiful that we can be alive and we're watching people like death by caviar them. So yeah, this movie is really really crazy. So like you were saying the movie follows the lineage of one family. Quote unquote. Yes. Yeah, we got wolves. They like a grandfather a father and a son we see sort of tableaus of each of their lives. The grandfather is he's a pervert like this. There's there's no way to describe it as any other way. He's basically like a slave like a military slave. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I get the impression. It's like World War 2 servitude to like a lieutenant or an officer. Yeah, and he's basically treated like a slave. He has a Shack on the property. Yeah, and I would say this is pretty isolated out in the middle of nowhere in Hungary and he's made to do everything himself and he's basically sort of spit on and looked down upon from everybody. Yes aside. Well, and he doesn't really have much in terms of like leisurely activities. So in saying that he doesn't really have an outlet for being an adult male and so he's every scene we see him. He's just a disgusting. Pervert Yeah, he's and it doesn't seem that he there's any particular thing that sets him off. It's just whatever he can find and because he has so few resources, you know, sometimes that's the flame of a candle sometimes it's the guts of a pig, you know, like the ankle of a shoe out the window lazy starts masturbating watching two girls and having a snowball fight, huh. It's what I want. He also has kind of a wild imagination which makes it really interesting. Because this this first vignettes off the the next vignette after a baby is born and before that happens. There's a really weird dream like disgusting see everything needs to be precursor. Like this is disgusting. Oh, yeah where the servant guy is having sex with the Lieutenant's wife, but it's actually a pig carcass and he's fantasizing about her or one of the daughters. Yeah, because sometimes she's not there and then sometimes she's turned into one of like I guess her daughter's or somebody mmm and then there's a lot of shots where it's just he's just fucked for gonna carcass, yeah, but then later the wife has a baby and everybody like when the baby's got a pig tail which is kind of funny because I think you're supposed to gather it is actually his son I think so too because also when the baby's born like the Lieutenant's outside just sort of pacing smoking And and then a midwife comes out to basically say like babies here, but she spits on the ground, right? So it's there. It's like what am I trying to sacrilegious all my yeah, I don't know. They're just like he's disgusting. He's unclean. It's obviously this guy's baby because they hated him so they're gonna hate the child that that he helped bear. But yeah, what's really feel like what's really nuts is that you don't know up until Moment that he had sex with that woman right the Lieutenant's wife. I honestly never had the impression that he had ever. It's kind of just been in this conversation now that I'm like, oh, I guess that is his baby. Yeah, because immediately after the scene where he's having sex with pig guts because wuyuan all of his fantasies ended up with him, like being this like lonely masturbator, so it's he's very gross and he's a hard person to be sympathetic for but he's so sad, he's he does lead a very sad. Life, but then there's this really beautiful cinematic sequence where we're all of a sudden in a pop-up book and it's beautiful and it's gorgeous and it's snowing white feathers and and then he's like a like a child pervert. So like it's just we'll see you then. So here's the really hard part with that scene and I'm not going to try and like justify it but I think in part of it, you know, I don't think he has a type or a preference. I think he's just a very lonely man. I think every thought anything as an outlet and I think every thought that he has leads to sex because I think He is ultimately like the loneliest man in the world. Yes is part of what it is and he's reading a story about this girl who it he's also singing a song earlier about the loneliest girl in the world and how how lonely and sad she is and he's sort of sympathizing with her and that character and he sees himself in her and then, you know, unfortunately he twists and bends that story as well and to something super sexual and disgusting and devious. But yes, there is this this there is another amazing cinematic shot. Like probably one of the greatest sequences of the last 10 years. I was so good. It's incredible. They they make him draw bath. And I you know before you say this, I hold the believe that this is the thesis for the whole film. I'm with you. Yeah lead and Lead Me into it. No. No, you can talk about I'm just saying that like in in you describing it like this is the thesis for the okay. Well, I hope I can do it justice do it. He's drawn a bath for these two girls and what I think Only for the entire house. They're all going to have a bath in it. Don't the one bath for every second Saturday by the body. Yeah, of course, right? Let's all appreciate everybody else so far so smelly everybody you don't and Irish Spring if you're a an Irish bring person. I'm an Old Spice man myself. I don't care I whatever's cheapest. Yeah. I really don't care usually ends up being Dev Herbal Essences. So he he's drawing the back. He's not supposed to watch the girls take a bath. But who of course it's going to take a peek. And then later on when he comes in to throw out the bathwater, he dips his head and he's just like smell in this gross bath water and he's like running his face in the water. But then the camera starts to shift and we're doing like this 360 somersaults around the bathtub like the bathtub is constantly turning over and we are seeing different tableaus with the bathtub and we're seeing the bathtub used for four baths for putting animal parts into while they're cooking and then it flips over again and we're seeing it. At body being propped up and it for a wake a baby's been born and now it's a crib somebody's mixing bread into it. Like this one piece of furniture is being used for all aspects of Life. Mmm. It's like a serving plate that that all moments and memories are put upon I guess it's multi-purpose. What am I trying to say here? Yeah. What I think is so great about that moment though is that we have this really hyper sexual guy and he's very definitely trying to get the essence. Since of these girls, he's trying to smell them. He's trying to picture or imagine what they were doing in that bath water and he's trying to experience that moment that he's just missed kind of thing. But in in taking us on this journey through this tub and and every moment that it's been used for I think it's a great stand in for the movie as a whole and kind of for free even filmmaking if you want to look at it like typical filmmaking because typical typical filmmaking doesn't get this gross and we only want to see the girls in the back. Of water but life has so much more to it. And some of those things are disgusting or gross or sad or Dark Orb or strange. Yeah, and so filmmaking life. I think it's a great metaphor for seeing more than just the beautiful glimpses and showing the whole picture and how disgusting and all I'd that is and I don't know some of us weirdos think that's beautiful too. I don't even though I turn away from half of this movie. I'm just like wow, that is such a fucking Good movie. Yeah that that is the honestly I think that is one of like the biggest compliments. You can give a movie like this is that it's so shocking I guess and gross and it's just like kind of confrontational but you still appreciate what it's doing. Yeah, because if I think of this film wasn't as beautiful and very poetic and had a great interesting message and something to discuss afterwards. Not one to just watch movies that are really gory and confronting for no reason. Yeah, and I think a film would have to go to extreme lengths to justify the need to go there and the whole point of this film being disgusting I think is the point. Yeah, but like the craziest thing about it is that so the lieutenant comes in and sees him having fallen asleep naked on top of this this this pile of pig. A pig and shoots him in the head which is what brings us to the baby being born. You know, we're led to believe that it's his son. So now his legacy is more or less continuing on and then we jump cut basically 20 or 30 years to when that child is now an adult man and we see him and the grossest profession there is I don't even know if it's a real profession because it's not like an eating competition its speed eating is it just well? Yeah, I guess that's true. But I think there are also competitions where it's like I'm amount versus time. Yeah point is this guy is a competitive eater and it's super gross to watch but this whole segment is done like like Amelie ish. It's kind of cute and it's got this very Femme 50s nuclear family Vibe and everybody's got cute hair and perfect outfits with the cars are nice and the but they're eating all the time and they're throwing up on every yeah, but there's a lot of barf. Laughing. Well, there's so much bar and it's not even like barf. It's just liquid purging God. So gross. There's one guy who's like constantly eating all of the time even when he goes to the hospital to see his friend and while he's having sex later in the movie, but I swear to God he is chewing on food that he is throwing up like he's still chewing on something during the whole Purge section. It's so nasty. Can you imagine being one of the audience members of the spectator sport smells? So bad, it'll be fucking horrible. Yeah, because Emma gasps it smells disgusting the stomach acid from 30 obese men would be overpowering because like in between rounds, they're going to throw up like okay we go to the scale and we chompa chompa chompa some soup. And then we like barf out the soup and I got okay, here we go headcheese time. We got you a nice big old brick ahead cheese not about the head sheet that meat Jello and then you're gonna barf it right back up and then round 3, but you know, oh man, oh gnarly So the story during that second segment, it's kind of a love story. It is about to speed eaters to speed eaters who fall in love and they get married and they have a kid and similar to the first sequence the father of the kid the limit you just kind of questioned on whether the line is Flowing smoothly from Grandpa to grandson or if there are some, you know different genes in the mix. Yeah, I think every Every child that we see in this movie is raised by a father that did not that but think that isn't their biological father because the lieutenant is very clearly not the biological father of the man. We see in the middle section and the Man in the middle section raises a son that is definitely not his own and is in fact the son of his fucking bitter rival. Mmm, and that's really interesting too because the this film discusses a lot of ends and about the Innings of things and it's interesting that we're watching a full circle, but for each of these individual men, they are the end of their line. Yeah, it's wild but and all kind of obsessed with Legacy, right? Yeah, like you could say that the character in the beginning is very lonely because he's not going to have kids. I mean, he's probably just lonely because he's a weird horny Grosso but grow so well, yeah, but I mean like if you'd like to be obsessed with sex in some way at least by a Ethically is to be obsessed with your legacy and and the the man in the middle clearly wants some sort of Fame and it really hurts him that he can't be a glorious. Yeah, right wants Speedy eating to be recognized as a real sport and he's basically training so that the day it's recognized. He can be the top. Yeah and like even in his his winter years whereas a bitter old 500-pound monster blob was in town, right? He's like, oh, you don't know who I am. There's a barfing method named after me. Like that's what he's holding onto like that's the only thing that he's training his fat ass cat. Yeah. So what's really interesting? Is that the only character in this movie who sort of achieves any long-term Legacy, maybe not even just for himself, but maybe for his entire family is the character at the end who doesn't care about any of that like he's One artist in the in the entire family. He's the one person who has essentially immortalized himself. Yeah. So all of these characters are hoping to to live forever either through through name or by Blood and he is the only one that does it and what's really interesting about him to is that he dies with almost no identity. That's not necessarily true man where I'm really jumping ahead here. It's okay. So I mean the so he the son of the Native eater is a very gaunt skinny creepy man, who is a taxidermist and with the biggest taxidermy shop in the whole world. Yeah, right. It is huge. What a Taxidermy an elephant if you want it. He's fucking Taxidermy a gorilla in this movie. Oh, that's so there's also a bear but he's got the dainty enough fingers to do a little unborn fetus as well. Which is that was so interesting and how he got the guy put it on a fucking keychain. That was a short film I would have just that so invested for him to just drop it off its Like a paper bag and he comes and gets it at the end of the movie and it's a fetus that's been turned into a keychain so weird and he says that he's fucking he says that he's a doctor. I don't know that he is I don't know because I don't I have no idea. He's also the character the beginning who's giving us our speech that's giving us sort of like the thesis of the movie because he discovers our last protagonist in his final work. Yeah in his final work. He's like tldr he's Mead himself, it's one of the weirdest grossest things that I've ever seen and there's no music and it's like you can hear a pin drop and like except for the sounds of guts being taken out right machine whirring occasionally. Well, that's because that machine is like rolling up his fucking intestines outside of himself and he's sick stuffing himself was strong. He like so's himself back up and when he pulls a cord it cuts off his head saws off his arm, and he's kind of just become like like a Venus de Milo As David kind of object and now he's on display in an art gallery. Of course. This wasn't before he taxidermied his really sick father as well because the cat's 8. Mm. Yeah, so his father is a piece of shit and he's absolutely bedridden. He has clearly never stopped eating the amount. He's always eating. In fact at this point. I think he's just eating meat bars. I don't even know what that is. Yeah, and he's eating them with the foil on. Yeah. Yeah now that the foil helps them. Slide down if yeah, because you can eat like 500 in an hour versus like 400 if you take the foil off. Yeah, it helps lubricate or something. It's like what do you competitively eating for man? I also think it's interesting that the third segment is the only one where the father has survived in. Yeah, like the Legacy child's adulthood. It's the only one where we have the adult child interacting with the father. Yeah and kind of it's the first time we see the oh Old world interacting with the new world we've been introduced to which has something to say about progress I think and because it's the first time the characters have to deal with not being liked their father's Legacy. Yeah, the fact that he is completely the opposite of his father because I'm sure the speed eating champion was very very different than his military father and I'm sure there was the same head-butting there, but because it was a different time that man probably We didn't live into his senior years. Yeah, and he's definitely a thousand percent different than his biological father who I'm sure no one ever told him about exactly but I thought that was really interesting way to depict modern times because that's something that a lot of adults are dealing with now for kind of the first time is that their parents are living so long and kind of we have adults who are retiring who have parents who are still alive. Yeah. You'll have three or four generations that could in some respects be living under the same roof. Hmm his cats though. So he's an asshole to these cats and he just like he it's like he has more pride in the cats than he does in his son and I get the impression that no matter how much food this kid eats. He would never gain a pound, right? Yeah. It's just like his type. Like he's got this very anemic. Look. Yeah and the cats themselves though are eating like 15 20 kilograms of butter. And ones just like butter just butter just nutritious butter and you know one day when the cage by the way, these cats are so big and fear all that. They're kept in a fucking cage. It's not even a cage just half of the room is Walled off with yeah with a gate. Yeah. It's a cat prison. Basically. Well the gate doesn't close all the way when they're getting into a bickering fight back and forth and when the sun storms off the cats come out and they fucking eat dad because they've been starved for food for so long. Yeah, but in like And final like okay fine like you love these fucking things. Why don't you lay with them forever? He Taxidermy is his father and has Taxidermy is the cats inside him. So the tails are coming out of the wounds that that were caused by the cats like rather than trying to so his dad back up. He just used the cats to fix the hole. I think he's just got the Tails pinned to him. Like you don't think the cats are inside they might be inside and but they're definitely just I think hanging off like he's just got the three Tails like Awards like you know, how you keep a raccoon tail? Hmm. Okay. All right, the definitely means he killed those cats. He will he definitely did because you see when he's actually Taxidermy his Daddy's got those huge scratches down his back. I think he had to fight to get out of there completely forgot about yeah man, this movie is weird. It is a weird movie. I really hope you guys watched it like one like I can understand if you couldn't make it all the way through. I mean literally the opening scene in this movie is a guy shooting fire from his dick, so I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry about that really sets you up though because this movie is astounding on so many levels that you could still be surprised at the end of it after the opening scenes are like just some guy like blast and fire out of his teeth. It's so so weird, but then you get to see this thousand pound man, and it's kind of cartoonish and really funny but it's still visually confronting just is hugely fat man. And then you have the vomiting in the middle and you're just like, what is this movie and what am I'm going to see next and it literally shows you every I can't I can't think of anything else gross that could possibly have been put in this film. Yeah, they did it all. Why are we still making movies? It's so fucking strange. I it's so hard because you got to walk this fine line of like do I really want to defend this movie? Is this a thing? I want to do with a fuck. Yeah. I'll defend his movie. Whatever. We got this movie. We rented this movie on a whim blindly we were just like oh this looks good. Let's check. Check it out. I think we might have seen a trailer but the trailer gave them nothing. What am I gonna say? And you know what? I think we weren't 19th. Yeah, and in 1980, it's astounding that we enjoyed it. I'm always I'm just so confused now watching it. We watched this movie we fell so in love with it that the second we heard Blockbuster was closing we ran over and the like there was any concern that somebody else would buy one copy at the store and we bought that very copy and it's Jill has that really thick Blockbuster cover on it. We are probably the only people that rented it and then now own it. Yeah, it's weird. It's so bizarre. I hope you I hope you had a chance to see it. I would love to hear your thoughts about it. And also just like if you didn't make it through I want to know where you stopped. That's that's all like that's fine. It's okay. You'll come back to it one day maybe but it's definitely not a movie for everybody of all of the moments in this film. Yeah, which would you say was the most? Klee confronting I know I'm saying I don't think grossest but definitely the one that like personally which one hit resonated with you the most as being disgusted. So the lavish that's so hard see setting what's really interesting. Now, you're saying that I'm thinking about it like, okay. What is it the which which one made me put my hand over my mouth the most right? The first sequence is very sexually disgusting and the the second sequence is Is physically disgusting and the third sequence is sort of existentially discussed like more viscerally de. Yeah, so I mean like the they're also tapping on just like really interesting aspects of human life. And I think they're all confronting in we have a way it's like we fuck we eat we ship kind of it. Yeah. Yeah, we fuck we eat we die. Like that's basically all it is, right. This movie's not life. I'm say that that's all the movie is but I don't know like it is so hard because it's just like well, I mean the the competitive eating and the barfing is pretty disgusting and that's really hard to watch. But oh, wait a minute. I mean also like the guy taking his guts out and stuff. That's that's pretty gnarly to see and like I couldn't like that feeling you have when your belly but where is hand is like flipping out like a kidney or something. He has like a really his organs are really clean. He's definitely not a smoker like his boys are really Great shape he would have lived till he was 95. Oh Gary, see how clean and like pink those organs were that's why I'm they had to be real. I think all those archive something. Yeah. I'm not there and I don't think that they're like using cadavers or anything. I think that's that's kind of a gray area there. I don't know if feeling is ready to go there. It's got to be something like a pig or maybe a monkey like a scientific something. Yes got their those organs are too flippy floppy or they have a really great. Gelatinous like somebody who's crafting perfect little organs and tiny little tiny little molds. Yeah, like I have eight kidney molds and they were they were so perfect and it watching them pull them out. I was like, oh God. Yeah, they're things are slippery and cutting like this in the cutting. You have the kind of husband. Yeah. That's that's pretty that stuff's hard to watch or where he's got to like cut that like layer of skin around like his heart and take a muscle. Yeah, because he's also still hooked up to a machine. It's like keeping him alive while he's it's like an iron lung. Or something. Yeah. Yeah, but then also you got to remember like that opening sequence is pretty fucking horrible and its own very specific way. So I don't I don't know which section of this really yeah after I asked you I was like, I don't think I can pick like each one of these segments is is a gap it you fall into and then crawl back out and fall into another look like it's they're all pretty good. We've moved away thank oh God, but then it's also very funny and it's also Like it makes you smile and laugh and it's like life. It's got it all now. Now I'm saying at this point in my life. I do not think I could see this in a movie theater when we first discovered it. Yeah, when we first discovered it if it hadn't been in a theater near us or not. We have to go for the sound and to be disgusted and it'll be great and it'll be gross but I don't think I could stomach it and now the like barfing in cinemascope. I don't know if I need that. Yeah. Yeah, can you imagine like yeah, 5.1 7.1 surround sound. Oh, yeah, like sounds like he's barfing right beside and I have this like weird ego trip and be like I can eat popcorn during this movie. I'm thinking the photos. Yeah, I don't think I could do that today. That's so funny. I feel sorry for anybody that discovered that at a film festival like Premiere and had no idea what they were getting into. Wow. You're like somebody who's not really into these movies is like had to review it. Hey, I gotta say though. I mean like if I was at a film festival and I didn't know anything about this movie like basically the way we first saw it, I would not have as strong a reaction as if we were at a film festival and I knew nothing about like Gasper. No, he's irreversible and watched it blind going in like that movie would destroy me. If I didn't know what was coming next like seeing it now like the first time we saw it we knew that there is a very it is still destroyed me. I needed a deposit and take A break before winners but and that's but that's knowing. It's even knowing it's coming. Can you imagine being in a movie theater not knowing anything about it going? I probably would have had a little cry in the bathroom and come back. Like I probably would have been like I don't think you would have been alone you Brett. I'm sure you would have seen a bunch of cries in the men's bathroom during them. Yeah, but yeah this It's A Hard movie to watch. I think it's totally worth it. I think there's plenty of stuff to to love and hate about it. But Kim all in service of the story. Oh, yeah, great story asterisk. Great story. What's your rating of this movie? Four out of four? Yeah, you give us a for it's my birthday movie of course is the four out of four. Yeah. It's hard to give this movie afford a for knowing that other people are gonna see it for this movies of four out of four. Like it's a fucking it's an art film. Boom. We just excused everything in this is a any complaint. This is an art house film guys. You know what that means? You have to like it. Well, I think we're at an interesting point in this day and age to wear a lot of things are being challenged in life. What's what's socially right and what's acceptable and and I think film is one of those things that needs to be protected because it is Art and we don't necessarily need to like or agree with the characters and what they do. Nope. I'm talking particularly about like the sexual appetite of the character in the beginning. Yeah. That's what makes it really hard to say that you love this movie I think is because he is kind of disgusting. Oh, yeah, his morals are borderline, but one he's of a different time. Not that that excuses that but also he's a fictional character and you don't have to agree with him to say that the movie is good and I think the fact that the film confronts you is good. And that's why we need to protect art and the things that are fucked up because if the world becomes PG and we don't have art being R-rated. Yeah or NC-17 or whatever what? It restricted like then we have lost our voice completely so art needs to be disgusting and needs to be wrong and needs to be Politically Incorrect and we have to put ourselves up to watching it even when it's gross because I think there's a point in that the fact that we come away from it being disgusted helps us put ourselves somewhere on the the graph of morality. Yeah, and if you if you just Like close all those doors, then you're just ignoring it and you're just everything is just green and dandy when that's not true. Not at all. And I think that's exactly what this movie is trying to say. Yeah, four four four out of four disgusting gross. I looked away. I love it. Alright moving on. Let's talk about something that is not as gross, but definitely a lot easier to like we're talking about 2018 s November Modern Marvel chioma what secret Summit Testament he sent his just tasters Yuma happen hate him. So November from 2018 currently sitting at a 7 point 2 out of 10 on IMDb 79% on Metacritic 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a 3.7 out of five on letterbox. Got love that Rotten Tomatoes rating. I know it's pretty high 96% guy. Yeah, you know, I didn't write down how many critics reviews but it's probably not a ton. Do you remember did it play it multiple festivals that we went to and I think it was Where do we Fantasia right II know it made the festival circuit. I think it went to Fantastic Fest definitely but yes, we we sought out of Fantasia in 2017. What's really interesting is that we didn't know much about it and we decided you know what let's go to this Larry cone documentary instead. We missed the actual theatrical screening of it, but caught up with it in the screening room that that Fantasia has for the Affiliated press basically just watch a movie on a laptop. And God it would have been great to see this movie in the fucking theater would have been good mistakes were made. What are you gonna do the great documentary that we saw them? Yeah, totally where do we start with this movie? I'm gonna just jump the gun and say that this is probably one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Oh, yeah, and it is so soupy and so beautiful and it's a black and white film. So it really plays with contrast and the coloring is Part of the story in parts of the like which parts of the film are dark and which parts of the film are bright so much so that our care our lead characters look entirely different based on what scenes they're in and whether it's a very light washed out white foggy scene or if it's like a black dark soupy seen I haven't seen a modern-day film utilize black and white in this fashion and a really long time. I'm really looking forward to Robert Eggers the lighthouse. Oh, man. And it's going to be another great black and white movie. I can feel it. But this movie it looks like an Inkwell. The the blacks are so black and the whites are so white but it makes everything on screen look like a ghost and or just like like Shadows on a white canvas. This movie is fucking gorgeous. Yeah and something to when you're really playing with lightness and darkness and creating high contrast is it really makes your cinematography pop because your so focused on composition because you're not distracted by color that when things follow the rule of Threes or if things are centered on the screen, which is I find is more popular in film than in like any other artistic medium are usually off center a little bit. It really stands out and it's really visually arresting there's a lot of really great moments in this film and it's completely aware of it because we'll stay in those scenes for a long time. The moment that comes to mind to me is when The boy Hans is standing in front of the window. Just laying his like harmonic or whatever but there's so much atmosphere in that scene because the cabin is dark outside is just pure high contrast white and then it's picking up little flecks of dust. So there's so much atmosphere in that scene. You can literally see the space in between the camera and him and the wall he's against because of those flecks of white dust they're fully fully aware of how I feel the shot is because he stays there for a good like five minutes and I could I could have stayed there the whole movie over here. We are watching some bike Springs talk. Yeah, and it's gorgeous. There are plenty of great shots like that specifically with characters. Just standing in doorways. We're yeah, like the light from outside is just like beating in in behind them, but we still are able to make out the detail of the characters as well, which is is hard because usually it's just like, oh, hey look us. Low-end standing in the sun. Fuck this movie looks great talking about the bikes Rings though. It's one of the first things you see in the movie. It's called a crap and it's kind of horrifying. Yes in Whimsical and wonderful all at the same time. Yeah. The first one we see is definitely very scary and you don't know what to expect because we're just sort of getting these landscape shots and everything is like a burnt black and or covered in snow and sort of Of Baron and then we just watch this figure made of like a pinwheel of South's. Yeah with a cow skull as a head. Yeah. It's just sort of like tromping around and you don't know where it's going. Like it looks it's a possessed object. That's exactly what it is actually but it breaks down a door and goes into this little barn where a cow is and it's a cow's skull that's on top of this this structure and they sort of stare each other for a quick minute. Like they're they're bearing each other down. Then you you expect this thing that you learn to be called a Kratts to kill the cow, especially once it grabs made of knives. Yes, just fucking made of knives and skulls like it looks like a death machine, but then it just grabs the the cows chain and brings it outside like it's taking him for a walk. And then when the cow won't come at the site's pick up speed and turn into like a fucking medieval helicopter and the cows just like all right, I guess I'm cool with this and just lies them across town over to wherever he's supposed to bring him. Yeah, this we haven't really said this is kind of a it's primarily a folklore film. So well, there is kind of a romantic story. That's the thread or like the main Arc of the film. A lot of the film is comprised. I would say of vignettes of different folklore elements from Estonia. There's there's some really great depiction of ghosts fuck and lineage kind of with deceased ancestry and Also really interesting depiction of the devil who comes into the play and a physical representation of the plague. So watching this movie there's so many fun little tidbits to get out of it. Despite it being overall. I'd like a tragic romance. It's kind of a little mermaid story like yeah, it's Christian Andersen. I love him. He loves someone else. I have to kill him with a dagger and become bubbles story unrequited love up the Wazoo. Yeah, they feel a lot of short stories or they've taken like dozens of folktales and sort of Spun them together into this one little village the Kratt specifically that I was talking about earlier. Is this object that's like a farm tool and you piece it together and then you get a soul from the devil. I think you're supposed to get your soul and put it into the Kratt and now you have this sort of steampunky. Soul slave you can get it to do whatever you want, but the weird thing is that they have lives of their own. Yeah, they are like a sentient version of the objects. They're comprised of yeah, it's like rat needs work. My last Master didn't give me work. So I strangle him. Okay, cool. That's great. I guess like these things are like equally fun and Whimsical and funny and horriffic. It's bizarre, and I'm so kind of like pitiful they're they're sad on and stomped on and And used like ladders sometimes and they're just these like menial possessed object, which is really interesting because they are souls like and typically Souls of real people. So they're treating each other like absolute shit, right? What's really interesting is the the one main craft that we keep seeing with the the head family Hans has father's Kratts. Do you think that's his mother? No, so I think they're just possessed objects. I don't think they're made of Souls. I think the devil just animates the crap because it's okay. So we do in the in that gorgeous senior talking about where hands is in front of the window. We see our lead characters father come and ask for currents like the raisins like blackcurrants because he wants to go meet the devil because he needs a craft but he wants to trick the devil rather than signing his name in the book with his own blood. He's just gonna squeeze some currants together and sign with currant juice to trick the devil into giving him. A soul for a Kratts but I get the impression that had he have signed with his own blood. It would have been his own soul. That went into the Kratt. No, I think his soul belongs to the devil. So if he dies the devil gets to take his soul or if the Kratt dies or if the crab dies, okay, mine if the wish becomes fulfilled, I gotta say I am always nuts about any folklore where the devil can be tricked. I love it. I also love Creative depictions of the And the devil is wonderful in this movie. He is this zany childlike buffoon almost. Yeah. He's a Jester but he's in the same sense. Like he's very menacing because he's not enhanced and unpredictable. Even the scenes where he's in a good mood. I'm tense. I watch him like I watch Joseph and creep. Okay, you know what, I mean like you could do something at any minute and I need to be Be ready to like react to you. He's pretty great. And he's just so silly. Like when the dad is first trying to sign his name / fake out with these currents in the book. He's writing on the Devil's Back. The devil has gone hands and knees on the ground so you can have a helmet table and it's just such a silly visual image. Yeah, and like maybe it's an Estonian turn of phrase. They were not quite getting but like he's joking around with him about like, oh well while we're here we can make your pants dance. You want to make your pants dance. I'll make it. It stands like I have no idea what that means. But the dads like maybe next time Lana. He's just mischievous and and odd there's one scene where he's walking through a field the devil and he just fucks with some like goats that are filled you just chases after them like because he's just like a big kid. Yeah. He's so bizarre so bizarre and the thing is like once he knows he's tricked. It's like he doesn't do anything about it. Really? No because he's just he's been tricked end of story. Yeah. I'm angry about it and I'm gonna I'm gonna To be really aware of it next time but he doesn't go and hunt him down because like he's been bested. I guess it's against the rules, right? Yeah, because once once he signs his name in the book with the black currants after he's left the devil starts to lick it up like oh so tasty so great and then he realizes oh this isn't blood this is fruit. I hate this shit and just like spits in into the camera. It's pretty great. But yeah, like you were saying the majority of this movie is this tragic love story. So Lina is is our lead and In love with Hans, but unfortunately Hans has eyes for this baroness who's come to town and she is doing everything. She possibly can just to get him to see her but he won't and it seems like without the baroness around she would have been the one that he fell for. Yeah, because there's there's nobody else young in this Village. It's just the two of that's very true. They are completely faded to be together and everybody in the village sees it like they are supposed to be together. But because he can only see see the baroness she's completely invisible to him. Yeah, so sad because they think it's essentially their Halloween, right? Like it's leading into November where the Dead come back and walk and eat dinner with them. He Hans sees his dead mother and she sees Lena and says, oh what a what a gorgeous woman she's grown up to be and like they kind of have this moment where it's like, oh, you're gonna marry her it's gonna be great and when Lena sees her mother who's very young as a ghost She definitely died very maybe even during childbirth for all we know he may have never can you fucking imagine that story. She's never met her mom, but every Halloween she gets to see her. Yeah. Damn, that's wild huh, but she says I have somebody and Mom says that's very good. I'm very happy and then disappears. It's like she's only coming back to make sure that her daughter has someone like that's her unfinished business. Yeah, right. Yeah, and it seems like for all of the other ghosts their unfinished business is like treasure they've buried they're all very concerned about the treasure. They have buried elsewhere that no one's gonna find we're not worried about it not they won't even give it to their living relatives. They just they never want anybody to get it. They can't take it with them, but they don't want anybody to touch it. It's crazy. Yeah, there's a really interesting depiction of like greed and just a weird societal how publicly these villagers behave because they're definitely all very impoverished. And borderline starving and you know living very rough lives. And for some reason the baron is daughter like leave their back door unlocked and the villagers like it doesn't matter whom so many of them just break in and are stealing clothes and Underpants and food and bread and just because they can't yeah, it's wild. I think they even say that the Barons mother is on her deathbed and doesn't even have a dress to wear to die in basically. And so this woman who feels bad for her gives her one of her dresses despite the fact that she's the person who's been stealing her dresses for like months now and she's the reason she has addresses man and like there's no there's no regard for it. Like the she wants this last dress that she's stolen. She's trying to sell to Lena and Lena has a ring. She goes. Oh, well, that's you know, that's okay. I'd like your silver brooch, but for a ring you can have a strip of silk and just like rips a piece off the bottom and gives it to her like doesn't have Any care for it? She had think it doesn't mean anything to her. She doesn't understand and it's just not hers and somebody else wants it. Hmm. Smoothie kind of breaks my heart though. It is very sad the best part about this movie despite the fact that it really expertly and vaguely depicts. These really wonderful folklore stories is that it has such a beautiful and poetic and complete understanding of love and unrequited. Love ya and How beautifully and tragically it depicts it like Hans at one point. So both Lena and Hans are not above using magic or the quote. Whatever you call Magic in this world to get their beloved and for Hans. That's the baroness and for Lena, that's Hans and so Hans at one point tries to do the same thing that Lena's father does and trick the devil into getting his own Kratts, which he's built a Snowman on the bed. Ness is property and I don't know if it's supposed to be this like wonderful thing that he's going to show her or if he's just looking for like a mentor. But either way he goes to sell his soul to the devil trick them with some currents. But because the Devils on the up-and-up now but the currents he forces Hans to sign his name in the book and unfortunately because the Kratt is made out of a snowman. He's a time sensitive crap. Yeah, which is so unfortunate because this Kratts is so well. Well spoken it's the most profound character in any movie ever. Oh he is so full of great stories and knowledge and he's so inspiring that we become Hans in those scenes like with our hands on our chin just listening to him tell his story just enraptured with his tales because the Snowman having been made from snow which is water that has evaporated and gone into the clouds and falling back down is eternal that the water that comprises the Snowman has Been in the the Nile in Egypt and in Venice and just It's Been Everywhere forever for all time and it's seen countless lovers this professor thing their love for one another with poems and and songs and sonnets and it's he tells him all of the things about love and like how to love and how to profess it and sort of teach him how to talk to the baroness. But yeah, it's and what's crazy is that it even says to him that this is the first time he's ever had the ability to speak and he knows that his time is limited and he explains to him that it was a foolish Endeavor to make a snowman because I'm already dying. It's like once he understands his own existence he begins to weep which is really just him melting but good God does it look good, right and fuck think that this that hope this movie tears my fucking heart attack watch only. He's becoming a puddle. Yeah, like not even in my mind just like super sad for her. Runs and Lena, but like this snowman is well, it's just but like the Snowman is sort of a filter that's explaining the feelings that Hans has like Hans can't express it. But he has he sees the same looking Hans that he's seen in every other in every form. Yeah lovelorn person every poet everybody of ever and he sees he sees Lena and Hans together in the Moonlight and I call though Hans thinks he's seen the baroness and you know, Lena is pretending to be the bear. - he understands that these two people love each other. It's so sad. Yeah, you know, what's you know, what's even fucking worse than this is the old witch in town when she when Lena is expressing this hurt that she has over Hans and how Hans will talk openly about how much he loves the baroness and how she will just listen to him talk about her and pretend that he's talking about her Lena because she knows the baroness will never hear those. Words, so those words are for her and one she even says after she after she finishes that she says poor Hans like she's still feel saddle-sore him. Oh man and the which has been through this herself. She's an old woman now, but she even says I was once 16 and waited for a boy to come meet me in the haystack and he never came and now I'm old like it's just like all of a sudden her life went by because she waited for this guy who was never coming. Going for it's fucking horrible. It's really it's sad and wonderful at the same time something interesting too is that the baroness even has this interesting element? She sleepwalks and pretty precariously. She always seems to end up on the roof. Yeah, and it's because all of these lives are converging on her property that she keeps surviving. Yeah people keep rescuing her and at one point it ends up even being Lena who's come there to kill her as per the His instructions as per the like the love spell you gotta love that like house love spell work. Well, we just we kill her and then he loves you like damn magic works every time gotta love them practical witches, right? Also, there's that moment where we're Lena is getting dressed to be to pretend to be the baroness where she's gonna go meet Hans at the lake and the which is there and they're talking about it and Lina's very excited and another woman from town comes Xin and she's just talking nonsense about like get and drunken and stealing money from the church and then just like putting a curse on the priest and whatnot. But like watching all of those the like sort of three generations of women just kind of like talking and being warm with each other in a way. It's like this is my Steel Magnolias. I'll never watch Steel Magnolias, but I will watch a fucking witch and two women talk about curses and boys, especially because later on she has the priest like auna on a lie. Yeah, they've essentially lobotomized him with potions. Yeah, because they don't want to be replaced by another priest who will just be worse than the original priests. Oh, yeah, they're just bringing him down a couple notches. So they can like control and her fucking what is it that she does? She's okay. Yes, so she's stealing money from the church because it's sacred. So if she goes to the pub and buys drinks with it'll come back. It'll come back to her. Yeah, and the the fucking which is like, oh what it'll just walk down the Treat and climb back up into your pocket like it's from Jesus. It will so fuck it like the the the Snowman melts just as he's like finally giving like Hans the courage and the the advice to like how to speak to the baroness like just talk from your heart and you can do it and like he's not a poet but he's like, you're like like a calf like a young cow you breathe like a cat. Yeah. Is that good? He goes, that's great. That's beautiful doing it. Poems but Raiders were about to have this penultimate moment where Hans is running after the baroness and I say that in quotations because it's actually Lena in this dress that she's traded everything for. Yeah, and you're going to have a moment you hope you think where she's going to be revealed to him and he's going to realize that he loves her and that without all the clothes that she's this woman destined to be with him because he's chasing after her with a ring right like he's going to ask her to marry. Marry him and on his way there the devil appears because the Kratt has melted and completely in the Kratt. It's dead and the devil wants his payment and so he twists his neck and body is in the wagon with the locking ring in his hand. She can see it. Yeah, and she's just like running after him, but she can't catch up. It's like simultaneously like he doesn't no one knows it but yet but no one was around to catch the baroness and stop her from walking off the So the previous night when Hans was meeting Lena at the lake under the Moonlight. She had died. She didn't quite commit suicide, but she she fell off the roof. So there are you know, while his black horse is carrying him and his hey ridden cart across the road. So too is like a white funeral karat white funeral Carriage. They they pass each other just a white horse and a black horse Crossing each other in the road man, like and like that's what you're talking about at the beginning. Beginning of this episode saying that this movie uses color to tell its story like we see that with you know, like would even with the Snowman and with with the devil a lot, but just having like this this pure white and dark black and Cara just sort of passing each other and fuck. This is this movie hits you hard but it's gorgeous and it's creepy and it's atmospheric and it's fucking hilarious to write like those scenes where we meet the the plague essentially They way that they fool It Is by putting their shoes like putting pants on their legs and shoes on their hands so that way when the plague comes into the barn and they're all laying down the plague just sees a bunch of asses confused. Yeah and passes by and it works is the thing like death comes into the barn and is confused and leaves and everybody's a cool. That was close. A bunch of dummies. Oh boy. Yeah, it's hard to keep talking because we kind of covered the main story which is this this really tragic romance, but there's so many wonderful elements that you get a real feel for what the stories are like in there and they're interesting fairy tales. It's got a very Hans Christian Andersen Vibe. Yeah Anderson. I don't know how yeah Anderson. Hey Hans Christian Andersen, but those stories are so wonderful and so Whimsical and and Tickle but in the same sense, they aren't Disney fide. They they have that really Dark Twisted sometimes scary side and this film kind of encompasses all of that. Yeah, it's not it's and I can't I can't talk more about the Kratt. I mean, I've I could talk more about it. But like I don't that feel like I'm doing a good enough job explaining. I think you guys really have to see these Kratz for yourself. They're really bizarre. So funny after you understand. What a Kratt is it? It's like this creature dearly. Why aren't these in every movie? Like why is this the first time I've been to introduce to this creature? Yeah it it's already Dracula or Frankenstein to me. You know, what? Yeah. I want more of them. Yeah, they should be in every move. They should be like, this is like the the h r Giger version of Beauty and the Beast because I got Beauty and the Beast of the clocks talk and they make dinner and stuff like these things are the stuff of nightmares, but they will till the soil for you and they will grieve yourself. I'm with you so weird, right? That's that's what makes me think that it had some sort of personal connection to them. It's probably just that it understands the loss of life is what it is. Well, he's been in their family for so long as he yeah, I guess it's true because like it's the family Kratts. Mmm. Okay. What's your rating Kim? It's your birthday. I'll let you go. First prize the prize. My writing is a four out of four. Yeah, I could never give this movie less than four out of four. Or it is this was like it is beautiful and it's poetic and it's perfect. We were trying to figure it out. Do you remember was this your like number one pick in 2017? I can't remember it was on my top list. I don't I don't know remember what number I had it at I think mine was likely lowlife was probably my number one. Yeah, I think mine that year might have been 10 Cloverfield Lane this by 2017 remember that sounds about right? I think it was like 10 Cloverfield Lane then November. I think we both had November at number 2 such a good movie. Buckle of this movie and if you haven't watched it if hopefully we've convinced you to see it is on shutter. It's really hard movie to Google because it's just called November and if you Google November 2018, you're going to get a lot of farmers almanacs. So it's November 2018. You can write Estonia if you're searching for it because it's an Estonian film but it is on shutter and you definitely need to see it before it is not on there anymore. I don't know how long they have it but it's beautiful. It's gorgeous and oh somebody tweeted at me that it's on DVD now to we can get. Oh, yeah. We can get a region 1 DVD.

I couldn't think of a weird punny title for pinatas, but I'm going to quiz Kim on her knowledge of Estonian and Hungarian. Folklore spoiler alert, I'm going to be terrible. I'm actually Hungarian but the face. Yeah, I might father's side. We had a lot of Hungarian food so I could do food. I could do like dumplings and stuff. I could do good on that quiz, you know, it's really funny like Hungarian your partly Hungarian. I'm partly Dutch. They don't believe in seasoning those people. It's just like just boil it throw salt on it and you're good. Oh man, the really salty like my This one's soup that we ate it so much as kids but I don't think I ever really enjoyed it. But you just eat it. By the way, I've heard so much about this soup for years and I have not been able to pin down what type of soup it is just broth with carrots circles and it's so salty and so peppery that it's like spicy. I'm sorry. I thought it's like the bright is pepper broth. It's parrots and pepper in water. I was confusing this with another soup you guys doing glass do and glue now what is due to its? That's just a A kid named we had for its to with dumplings got it. But because the dumplings are like glue in your mouth like do like oh, whatever. Did you talk about it like being glue inside your guts. Yeah. It's gonna stick to my ribs. Never didn't together.

We're celebrating Kim's birthday on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street, and we're doing it the only way we know how: with super-gross foreign horror movies! In a continuation of Greedy Guts month here at NOFS, Kim has handpicked two of her favourite (and two of the strangest) films to come out of Eastern Europe. Join us as we giggle our way through the perverted, puke-filled fairy tale that is TAXIDERMIA (2006) (https://nofspodcast.com/screams-heard-around-the-world-5-beautifully-disgusting-moments-from-taxidermia/) , and awe at the lush and lovely spirits of NOVEMBER (2018) (https://nofspodcast.com/bright-solstice-fiends-top-10-traditional-witches-in-film/) . This week, Patreon supporters (https://www.patreon.com/nightmareonfilmstreet) can enjoy an exclusive companion episode where we continue the conversation on TAXIDERMIA and NOVEMBER with a little game we're calling "Pin The Tale on The Phony”, available at http://www.patreon.com/nightmareonfilmstreet.
