9ES311: Trash Talking 5.0

I know that we’ve talked about “Late Night With The Devil” before on this show but it’s a rare thing that all three hosts manage to see the same movie within like 2 months of its release date. So here we are, your one stop shop for news and reviews of “Late Night With The Devil”.

 

It’s been well documented that Keith and Jon are pretty big horror fans, but as has been discussed a bunch during this 311 episode run is that Scott has very different tastes for his spooky delights. Late Night With The Devil impossibly checks boxes for all of us and honestly might be one of those rare horror movies that you can recommend to just about anyone.

 

Except maybe people who think you should burn your copies of any Dungeons & Dragons books. Those people will not enjoy it.

 

Anyhow – we’re about two months away from Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson and we really needed to talk about the crazy shit that came out of Tyson’s mouth this week. This is the man who once said he wanted to eat another man’s children so why are we all acting surprised?

 

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time – Keith runs through a list of famous people who are banned from buying fancy Italian sports cars and Jon watched The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar so we deep dive into Roald Dahl a little bit. Keith and Jon are firmly Team Roald, but Scott needs some convincing.  If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

9ES306: Madame Why

We spend a lot of time in this episode talking about the fact that Scott chose to watch Madame Web instead of literally almost any other movie that has come out in the last 12 months. Why did he choose to do that to himself?

 

I mean, I’m not going to expressly say that we were going to make him watch Madame Web the next time his turn came up for “Best Movie Ever” but I am also not going to say that we were not.

 

Think about it. Scott is a busy guy. He’s a dad. He works at the hospital and has to get up at ungodly hours to do so. He’s got a movie date night with the wife and he chooses Madame Web. Scott’s got kind of a history of sometimes making questionable decisions so maybe this isn’t a complete surprise but come on now. COME ON NOW.

 

He should have just watched The Running Man.

 

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time –  Scott and Jon watched the trailer the new “The Crow” movie and apparently it looks pretty bad and glossy. Glossy and polished are not words that I associate with The Crow. We also talk about Scarlet Johansson’s propensity for being robots. Maybe she’s  a robot! I think it’s important that you go back and re-read that sentence and mentally pronounce ‘robot’ correctly. Then we dive into the Battleworlds/Secret Wars Marvel run of 2015, which I’m sure we’ll return to next week because there is just so damn much of it.  Enjoy the show!

Sophie has no voice! The boys hold it down and get all manly by talking about pro-wrestling and Mike Tyson. Every time I pay attention to our episode number it seems like it is getting closer and closer to a hundred. What a thing. Oh, and don’t forget to vote for us (and your other favorite Montreal things) at Cult Montreal’s “Best of Montreal”9es 82 (1)

Oh yeah, there’s a point where we talk about the NHL Entry Draft and both Scott and I are right and wrong about how it works. The last place team has a 20% chance of picking first (down from 25%) but, since there is now a draft for 2nd and 3rd pick, they can drop as low as 4th pick overall. Source.

Tuesday’s Coming: The Greatest Mysteries of All-Time

Scooby-dooby-doo, where are you? You’ve got some work to do now. You’ve got to go check out all the great cartoons you helped create!

The cartoon mystery genre has always been wicked. It’s an easy format, it’s usually pretty repetitive, it’s the goofiest, most absurd thing out there, and it’s somehow timeless. If I come across an episode of Scooby-Doo nowadays, I truly believe that I enjoy watching it just as much as I did when I was a kid, even though I’m watching it in a whole different way now. I used to just dig the funny stories. Now I dig how ridiculous every single episode is, from start to finish.

But Scooby-Doo ain’t the only mysterious marvel out there, and that’s even better. After Scooby-Doo made it big, a lot of other similar shows came to be, for indefinite periods of time, with crazier and crazier premises, but always centered around some sort of mystery-solving team. I don’t know how people came up with these shows, but I guess they may have just combined random ideas and run with it. Like, what do you get if you teach a cowardly shark to play drums, solve underwater mysteries, and do a Rodney Dangerfield impression? JABBERJAW!

My favourite of these post-Scooby-Doo weirdo mystery cartoons has to be The New Schmoo though. Ever heard of Shmoos? They’re a species that were created in the classic cartoon strip Li’l Abner. They’re basically little white blobs that have eyes, a mouth, two legs, but the ability to stretch themselves into any form. They also reproduce asexually, don’t eat anything, and are very aware that they are delicious to eat. They’re so eager to please others that they’ll even commit suicide so that they can be prepared as meals for those who wish to eat them. Think I’m making this up? I’m most definitely not.

So I don’t know who was looking at a Shmoo one day and thought “hey, let’s make one of these things solve mysteries with a skinny nerd, a big dumb yokel, and a lady with an unidentifiable accent”, but I’m happy somebody did. Because now I get to watch stuff like this:

Unfortunately, that’s the only full episode I’ve ever seen. Like most failed cartoons from that time period, there hasn’t been a DVD/VHS/Anything release of the show, so it can’t really be watched anymore. Bummer.

The mystery-solving cartoon format, however, is alive and well! Adult Swim launched a new show called Mike Tyson Mysteries in late 2014, which stars Mike Tyson as a dumber version of himself, Norm Macdonald as a foulmouthed pigeon, Jim Rash as a gay ghost, and Rachel Ramras as Tyson’s adoptive daughter. If you have Netflix, go watch this show – it’s hilarious.
