00;00;00;00 - 00;00;22;00
Over the past year. We did some traveling around the globe through time. We spared no expenses. Hopping on flight 180, we visited everywhere from camp Crystal Lake and ancient ruins to Hull House and the Berlin Wall. We even went to space. But as wildly different as these places are from one another, they have something in common. They all have monsters.
00;00;22;02 - 00;00;48;18
Thankfully, we like monsters, so we spent the last year meeting them. 25 of them to be exact. We learned, we laughed, we loved. And today we're going to rank. We're going to rank. So hard, work so hard. As we established in last year's ranking, we are only including monsters we've met over the past Freak Skull year. That's the horror version of the fiscal year, by the way.
00;00;48;21 - 00;01;11;21
And instead of ending the year at the end of December, we end ours on Halloween. So here we are, combining our individual rankings. That's three in total between Zack, Danny, and Casey. We crunched the numbers and crafted this year's official collective ranking. So sit back, buckle up, and maybe carve some stakes just in case. This is the third annual how I Met Your Monster.
00;01;11;21 - 00;01;38;16
Monster ranking. You're listening to how I Met Your Monster, a podcast that explores the introductions to your favorite movie monsters. My name is Zack, I'm Danny, and I'm Casey, and together we dive into the world of horror to find out how filmmakers have introduced us to our favorite monsters time and time again. This is how I met your most.
00;01;38;19 - 00;02;00;10
Welcome to how I Met Your Monster, the show where we discuss the introductions to your favorite movie monsters. It is that special time of year again. It's Halloween, but that's not even the most special part. The most this, the most specialist part is that it's the end of our freak skull year. Yeah, I always want to say freak school monsters.
00;02;00;11 - 00;02;20;17
Freak school year. It's. This is the new year. Yeah. So it is it. But it isn't. It is when the balls demand it isn't. Which if you, Yeah. Horror balls drives around this time of year if you skipped our intro to this episode, why? But also the fiscal freak school year is like a fiscal year.
00;02;20;20 - 00;02;44;12
But for us, it's, monsters. And it ends on Halloween. December? Yeah. So, this is our third annual how I Met Your Monster. Monster ranking. We are ranking monsters. Not to be confused with ranking monsters, because some of them don't have penises. We do that too, though. You would think they don't. Yeah, and it's true. And I find a way to borrow a quote from.
00;02;44;12 - 00;02;56;28
Yeah, you can even wank just about anything. You going to find something without it? Where there's a wank, there's a way I have. I have a penis. Greg, can you wake me?
00;02;57;01 - 00;03;18;20
Oh my God. Yeah. So we are ranking, the past 25 monsters that we met over this last year from Halloween to Halloween. Is it bowl? Is it to bowl to say that this is my favorite time of the year? No. We already said this was the best time of year. So your favorite, one or the other?
00;03;18;26 - 00;03;44;20
Best. Favorite. So I'm excited. The past couple years, there's been some, push back between each other about some contention about. There still will be. I have things to say. I have a feeling this is my theory or my prediction is this year we are going to be so happy with all the choices. There will be no, quibbles or no upset argument.
00;03;44;20 - 00;04;09;06
No. No surprises. Deaths. Yeah. Yeah, we almost died last year. A lot of people, if you didn't listen to last year, it ends with like you hear sirens coming for all of us. Three sets of sirens and just, Joe, just, put this into perspective. We don't know how these monsters have ranked. Yeah. So each of us, myself, Danny and Casey have done our own personal rankings.
00;04;09;14 - 00;04;35;28
And then Danny's husband, the wonderful Cody, has put them together into one collective ranking. So we don't know. We know where the monsters land on our own personal lists, but we don't know where they're going to land on the final. The final? Final list, you know what I mean? So this is a surprise. This year we also went a little, not that it makes a difference to the listener, but, we've been enhancing our system.
00;04;35;28 - 00;05;02;24
We, you know, you had a little you got to have some changes every year. You got to fix little, little things just to improve it. Improvements. Yeah. Not seeing improvements, improving fix not we're not fixing it or improving it. So I think that will, that will have an interesting effect on what this ranking will be. And I think it'll be more, so I guess because it's, it is subjective, but I was going to say it makes it more, feels more official, feels like weightier.
00;05;02;26 - 00;05;31;07
Yeah. Because also we've also changed the way we rank the monsters, too. Last year, no lube at all. This year we went in dry and lubed up my size. They say like, Radiohead. Oh yeah. This year we've looked at some some special categories after that. And so this the previous ranking episodes, we've just kind of like we rank them on our own.
00;05;31;09 - 00;05;53;01
You mean rank? We went come on our own. This year's a little more objective than subjective. Yes, there is some subjectivity included. But yeah, a lot of the the base ranking comes from the base and everything. You just can't even say the fucking word. This is the. So, Danny, do you want to go over the categories on how we rank these monsters?
00;05;53;01 - 00;06;20;01
Since you you created the categories? Well, we did it as a team. The categories that we used for our ranking were based on a one through five. So you can get up to five points for a monster for each category. And there is scariness, effectiveness, design, lower intro kills. And then we added a little personal bonus just to give it, you know, Zach used it before.
00;06;20;01 - 00;06;48;05
I'm gonna say it again, a little subjectivity. This is, after all, personal ranking. So you gotta have a little, personal flavor. Yeah. So. Oh. That's it. You done? Okay. I'm done. So one thing I will say, and I know that I'm probably out numbered. I didn't like the lower one because I just don't. I actually don't like it when characters.
00;06;48;07 - 00;07;16;23
I like the mystery of a monster. It's interesting, you know? I mean, like, listen to it. So just to give an explanation of, like, what that would look like. So in the lower category for when we were voting and, and building points for each monster, if you were to click on the drop down option, one point would be no backstory, three points would be some interesting lore, and then five points, which is the max would be legendary lower.
00;07;16;26 - 00;07;36;22
So Casey, you're saying like maybe you actually don't like a lot? Yeah, I mean, I of course I like movies and monsters that do have it, but I like movies where there's not where people aren't able to figure things out. Do you know what I mean? Like, I like it. We they shouldn't count against it just because we weren't given a bunch of information.
00;07;36;25 - 00;07;56;20
Right. But I understand too. I just like those movies where. Right. So like you're saying, like when you do your monster, like if there's a monster you really like, but there's not a whole lot of backstory. He lost points because, yes, there was no backstory, even though you would have ranked him higher. Yeah. Oh that's interesting. Well, maybe that's why he did get they did get five personal bonus points.
00;07;56;20 - 00;08;14;14
Okay, there you go. That's where the bonus points as you can see. That's okay. That's that's what's good about this is we can refer back to our sheets to say, no, there wasn't lore. This is why it has five points. And I think that's just as valid okay. Yeah I like I like that. Yeah. So I was you know it's a it wasn't like I wasn't like upset about it.
00;08;14;14 - 00;08;26;12
I was just thinking about it while I was ranking it and I, I did I don't want to say I had a hard time, but my memory, especially if I don't care about a movie, I forget about them. I mean, even when I like movies, you know how many times I've watched Lord of the rings? I can't even tell.
00;08;26;12 - 00;08;52;04
You have the names of the people in that movie. I could, I even tried the fellowship, I don't know. Yeah. Dodo. Dodo. Fran. Frame. Jim. Fran what? Frame? Wise man. Frame. Frame. Dumb. Oh, guys, I just got a pop up notification on my computer saying Danny Slim's 37th birthday tomorrow. Oh. Take. Oh, geez. I thought it was like 20.
00;08;52;06 - 00;09;22;23
That was, like, so cruel. It was like the year 2017. Yeah. So forget. Oh that's weird. Oh that's really what that is. Yeah. That's insane Danny we, we met in school like almost 20 years ago. Not completely. Not like two almost two months, two decades ago that we met crazy 21 years ago. Yeah. Fuck consent. Who? I don't like it.
00;09;22;23 - 00;09;37;29
All right, guys, I don't know if I can do it today. I'm gonna I thought I go, I take a walk, take a brisk. Yeah. I'll see if I can take a brisk walk. All right. Well, speaking of a brisk walk, why don't we take a brisk walk to, I don't know, take whatever. Number 25 lives, camp Crystal Lake.
00;09;37;29 - 00;09;59;03
Let's take a. Yeah, we're let's take a walk. Oh, yeah. We should say Zach's a really good, editor. He edits all of our episodes, obviously. So for this episode, you won't know what I have to do. It won't? No, it won't be in real time. You won't see that we actually, I, we Zach mentioned in the intro that we, we have our tickets for flight 180.
00;09;59;05 - 00;10;22;03
We're going to be traveling to each destination that is. Oh yeah, aligned with the monster. So for example, whatever this monster is, we're gonna have to stop the recording, go to the airport, get on a plane, fly there, and then Zach's going to cut it, and then. So it's going to feel seamless. But we will be recording each entry in the appropriate location assigned to each monster.
00;10;22;03 - 00;10;50;02
So. So yeah, we'll take our brisk walk now to, let's say camp Crystal Lake and then wherever the next monster is. Let's see, maybe Germany, Doctor Caligari, then we'll have to fucking plan our trip. Go there. Yeah. Record and so feeling we will be going to Germany first. We've actually been recording this episode for like four years and know that, yeah, we not only are we traveling to all these places, we all love a good deal.
00;10;50;02 - 00;11;10;10
So we're waiting for like, yeah, you know, you want to get it a few months in advance for each flight. All right, well, let's, Danny wants to take a brisk walk, so let's walk to, wherever our first monster is and, meet our 25th monster, basically the dud of the bunch. And, let's see where this takes us.
00;11;10;10 - 00;11;27;03
Yeah, whatever this is, we fucking hate him.
00;11;27;05 - 00;11;30;21
Little.
00;11;30;23 - 00;11;45;23
He's ready. Like, He, I'm nervous. All right. The number 25. Number 25. Okay, so first, what's in the box?
00;11;45;25 - 00;12;04;23
That just needs to have a moment just to squeal. Yeah, I don't have my. My numbers are gone, so. Because I want to. You should really go. I want to know where I put them on my list. Yeah, it'll show up on here. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Oh. Cody thought oh, he's everything he thought of everything. You're going to love, guys.
00;12;04;23 - 00;12;25;26
You're gonna love this I oh, so much fun. It's a blast. Yeah. Don't worry okay. I'm going to love this. I married to a very efficient, creative person. All right, so, here we go. Let's start this, this monster wank ranking wanking. So did you mean to do that guy? Yeah, I love ranking. I mean, you know what I mean?
00;12;26;02 - 00;12;44;02
All right, let's let's let's see who the fucking loser is of this fucking year. What a dork. All right, it's the 2025 monster ranking. We're going to click this little button. That's it's glowing right now, by the way, in case you can't see it. And it says unleash the monsters. Are you ready? Oh my god. All right. This is what this looks like.
00;12;44;02 - 00;13;05;25
It's like we see it. Little animation. So we're going to start clicking on monster. And then we're going to see where it ranks right here okay. And if we want we can go to this drop down to check out think. Wow. So I, I think by the way we did say that Cody put all of these, took all of our own personal rankings and, and, put them into the definitive ranking.
00;13;06;00 - 00;13;24;12
But he also designed this fucking app that it's free. It's going to be using to, reveal these monsters to us. Because, like we said, we don't know how they ended up in the final ranking. So, this all surprise. Cody did this. This is a surprise that Cody made the fucking app, like. Yeah, overnight. He just did it last night.
00;13;24;17 - 00;13;42;17
Yeah. This dude's a unique name. I was literally sleeping. It was like, 1230. He, like, woke me up. He's like, what is this? Okay, what's that? It's amazing what he's mean. Is it okay? This is so cool. No. That's great. Cody. Now let me go back to fucking sleep. I love you, my beauty. Sleep. What are we doing here?
00;13;42;17 - 00;13;49;08
For the love of God, leave me alone. Yeah.
00;13;49;11 - 00;14;17;29
I love it. Oh, shit. Oh. You ready? Yeah. I'm ready. Drumroll. Purple. Yeah, I knew it like a loser. Doctor Caligari from the Have you saw Caligari? He doesn't even go here. Sorry. No Doctor Caligari. Okay, you're going to be surprised. Classic movie again. Cody walked me through this. I only saw the last place and I saw where Ivan ranked it.
00;14;18;05 - 00;14;41;11
Okay. And this is this is, closer to the metal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. Okay. Zack, you on this through that? Yeah, yeah. Casey and myself, we both ranked him dead last. And it was ten points with me. Danny put him at number 18. So the 25 still on the bottom half, but, but a lot closer to the middle, so.
00;14;41;14 - 00;15;01;21
Yeah, like I mentioned, good movie, classic movie. It was a lot of fun. It is. But him as a monster was kind of just like, Yeah. You know what I mean? He was. He was in the early stages of horror. Yeah. So it's not a this is not a surprise to me. No, it's not a surprise.
00;15;01;21 - 00;15;21;02
I didn't know he would be so low, but it makes sense. You know, when I like, consider everything I was thinking more of. The guy doesn't even talk as the guy doesn't even talk. And I think that was a thing, too, that I considered was that was when I was doing like my personal bonus was like, it's our first silent film.
00;15;21;04 - 00;15;43;29
You know, there is this sort of the inspiration that it had that he had, unlike Tim Burton specifically. And in terms of like effectiveness, he doesn't really do anything but he kind of does in terms of like how he gets Caesar to kill. And even though I won't spoil the movie if you haven't seen it, well, right. So ultimately he doesn't actually.
00;15;43;29 - 00;16;04;07
Yeah. But like what he represents is like kind of like this interesting take on how to show that, got it so hard to not spoil it, but like, well that also what is revealed. I thought it was an interesting way to do it. Yeah, yeah. And I just yeah, it just came down to, Let me see.
00;16;04;09 - 00;16;26;22
Yeah. Like for scariness, I thought. I thought he was on the verge of scary. You know, he's not scary, but there is, like, this creepiness to him. I loved his design, so his design gave boosted him a lot. Oh, I put not I put not bad for effectiveness I put one he achieved nothing. Yeah same kills I just he was fine.
00;16;26;25 - 00;16;52;14
But yeah yeah he was fine. Yeah. He was like you know Caligari you're last on the list. So we're not going to spend too much time with you, but spent enough time. Yeah. By the way in Germany. Yeah, yeah. So okay, let's get on, center on the popcorn, throw the popcorn. Yeah. But, you know, if the most iconic horror movie of all time, like, inspired, like, the greatest filmmakers boot worth, I want to have.
00;16;52;14 - 00;17;15;27
Like, I want to Photoshop a picture of the fair that's in the movie. And you to see us three like throwing to me. Calendar. I don't even like the tomatoes. Yeah. Did you guys there is a like every year in maybe Italy or something. There's like a, annual food fight where they just throw fucking tomatoes at each other like thousands of people.
00;17;15;27 - 00;17;37;06
Hashtag wasteful. Well, yeah, that's the thing that's, you know, that's getting in my mouth. And then I heard that, like, the tomatoes are, like, not edible. Like, they're like, they're like rotting whatever is poisoning. So I'm getting hit by it. So I was like, oh, that's kind of fun just being a fucking food fight, Mel. Oh, yeah. Oh, and if you had, like, a fucking cut on your hand nice tomatoes.
00;17;37;09 - 00;18;03;13
Thank you. Tomato disease is the worst state of disease. Yeah, yeah. That's that's sick. And we. Oh, no. SD is the worst. But they're called stars now, so. Okay. That's stinky tomato infections. Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. What's number. Let's let's go to 24. I didn't go to the next one. Let's get on our plane first of all.
00;18;03;15 - 00;18;28;06
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Guys, I'm tired. We're here. That was a good first. It's been a long time. All right, number 24. This this this Deacon Frost makes sense for me. Okay. Yeah. He was. I think he was a little bit higher on mine, but. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay, this is. I was surprised by my ranking, but I should say, I did not intend for him to be as low as he did.
00;18;28;08 - 00;18;47;23
Yeah, this is like a swap, and he's like, I didn't intend for him to be dead last on my ranking. This is a swap from Caligari. Casey put him at 22, Danny at number 25, and I put him at number 19. Yeah. So we're like, on the same page. We're in the realm of, like, yeah, he was he was fine.
00;18;47;23 - 00;19;03;29
He was just like, yeah. You know he was a great run of the mill. Yeah, he was a good bad guy. But he wasn't like memorable like, you know, iconic. But he did the job just fine against blade. Trying to find him on my list here. Where is he? Deacon Frost? I think there were just things about him that were like.
00;19;04;01 - 00;19;30;12
It's sometimes a lot of these rankings. It's not about, like, one being worse than another. It's just they edge them out in some way because they do something, quote unquote, better, you know? Yeah. I think Stephen Dorff performance is fantastic. Yeah, great. In the movie, the tone and I do try to catch myself because I'm like, you know, on our blade podcast episode, we talked about how much we love the movie and how well it holds up.
00;19;30;15 - 00;19;51;07
So it has nothing to do with the movie. But I also don't want to take that into account too much. Yeah. You know, just about the monsters. And we should note that, you know, speaking of that, which we tried to focus on the monsters in the specific movie that we covered. Yeah. Right. So, like, there's, you know, sequels or something for saying, like, like, xenomorphs are somewhere on our list.
00;19;51;13 - 00;20;13;08
But we watched aliens, and so we tried to focus on the xenomorphs in aliens and not the whole series. Yeah. So. But with Deacon Frost, like, his highest point on my list was for effectiveness. I said he was nearly unstoppable because once he turned into that blood thing at the end, like the blood God, it was almost like he was all powerful.
00;20;13;08 - 00;20;37;17
Yeah, but obviously he wasn't. But, it was close to it. Yeah. And like, his intro was forgettable because. Yeah, I think that had a huge, Yeah, I just kind of. He's just kind of there. Sorry. Casey. No. It's okay. I actually did intros based on literally, like, I just thought and depending on how long it took me to remember the first time, you see, like, wow.
00;20;37;19 - 00;20;55;10
Like, yeah, there are some that I couldn't remember at all, so. Well, I mean, that's funny. I mean, that's legit. You know, if it's iconic, you, it snaps in your brain like that and you're like, okay, yeah. So okay. Deacon Frost, number 24. Yeah okay. Stephen Dorff, we obviously appreciate it. Also point out we love all these monsters.
00;20;55;10 - 00;21;09;00
That's why we covered them on the pod. Totally. It's just, you know, you gotta you gotta sit somewhere and some people sit in the back. Some people sit on the French says what it is. Yeah, some people on the top. Some people. Some people are top. Some people are bottoms. Some people are switch, you know. Yeah. Yeah.
00;21;09;01 - 00;21;36;04
Exactly. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. IMac 23. You ready? Oh my God, I'm scared. Oh okay. They were higher on my list. Were they. They were. Oh yeah. They got it. We got to remember to say the fucking thing. These are. Oh. So what do we think about this? Interesting. These are the, the vampires specifically from Abraham Lincoln.
00;21;36;04 - 00;22;01;14
Vampire Hunter. Ranking in at number 23. Here's what our personal rankings were. Oh, wow. Okay, well, the threes, these three monsters that we've revealed so far are just like each of our own middle and. Well, yeah, if that makes sense. Casey ranked the vampires at number 15. So, like, almost in the middle. Danny and me, 24 and 23.
00;22;01;17 - 00;22;24;01
So yeah, for me, they just weren't like, okay. They were just like the movie vampires, I love them. Oh yeah. The movie is a blast. Yeah. I also it didn't help that they were like racist vampires. Oh, yeah, I docked points for that. I was like, fuck you. I should make them more monsters. So. Villains. Yeah.
00;22;24;04 - 00;22;42;13
I just, I don't know. I do really like the movie. Obviously, we all, but I guess for me, because when I vampire movies in general, a lot of them are just run of the mill vampires, you know what I mean? Okay, but there are so many specific things that I remember about this movie. Yeah, I guess, yeah.
00;22;42;13 - 00;23;05;28
You know, that sticks with me as far as the vampires. Also, the lore was higher for me because of all of the revisionist history that they put in. Oh, okay. Great. That sounds good. That's good. You know, so that that's a good perspective because I put no backs. Yeah, I give them a one. Yeah. Just because I, I didn't know where they, like, came from.
00;23;06;00 - 00;23;39;27
Yeah. I mean, yes, but that makes sense. Like, I didn't think about how they, like, weaved them into actual history, which was really cool. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, that's a fair. That's what I think. I was, yeah, there was just some things that just didn't pop as much as other monsters. As far as the intro, like one thing you were talking about memorability for intros and sometimes, like our bits on the show, play into a lot of my decision making because it kind of it plays into the memorability.
00;23;40;00 - 00;23;50;07
Yeah. So for example, the the again, I don't even remember like the actual thing, but like the milking scene.
00;23;50;10 - 00;24;18;09
Yeah. Yeah. It's when he killed his mom. Like that's hilarious. And it's just good to see the scene play out. And the movie does have like a fun, very like, moody esthetic, which helps, because vampires obviously are very much like play into the shadows and everything of that is, emphasized quite a bit in the movie. So maybe I was unfair with putting them so high, but I think, I think I'm gonna remember like, oh, that's why only because I wanted to do something I wanted to highlight something else.
00;24;18;11 - 00;24;41;10
Yeah. Very cool. Okay. I feel like we're mostly okay. That was the one that was the most like. We're starting to. There's some differences and. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So let's okay. So now number 22. Number 22. Yeah. All right y'all ready for this. Denton Denton Denton. Yeah yeah yeah I got it wrong. Correct. Okay. Yeah. I was even surprised I was right.
00;24;41;11 - 00;25;06;11
Certain critters two number. Yeah. From Criticwire ranking it at number 22. Okay. Let's see where they landed on our list. Oh, wow. Almost. So this is a reverse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is totally reverse of what, just happened with the vampires. Casey came in the number 24. Danny 23, and I put him at 15. I don't remember anything about this movie besides the, the, besides the fast food scene.
00;25;06;14 - 00;25;26;29
Oh, okay. I can't remember anything about it. Yeah. I mean, that is probably the most iconic scene from part two. Other than the. Well, no, there's the the bunny rabbit, the the sheriff in the rabbit costume and the critter ball. Don't remember. They turn into it. Yeah. Those are the things all that stands out. I'm sorry. I'm just a fan.
00;25;26;29 - 00;25;45;02
Yeah. Like them. I didn't think they were scary. There wasn't a lot of lower birth. They ranked higher for me. Was. I actually thought they were fairly effective. If it wasn't for that meat barn, like, they were kind of just like tearing through the town and killing everyone and the where they could turn into a giant critter ball or crack ball.
00;25;45;05 - 00;26;04;11
I bought Kill time because, yeah, of the fast food scene. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. Actually, I should have ranked him higher because for everything you do for kills, I only put fine. And like, they skin that dude alive when they run over him with the ball like that. I did a solid. I had them in the background at three.
00;26;04;14 - 00;26;23;23
Damn, I forgot that was the one I kept popping in. I actually forgot the bunny rabbit scene, but oh yeah, the thing that kept coming in was when they peel the meat off that guy's bones. Yeah. Which now of Dog Man. Like, are they number one? You know what? But they're like, you know, I give them, for their design, their iconic.
00;26;23;26 - 00;26;47;15
I can't even picture one you can't picture, right? I can't I don't remember what they looked like. I keep thinking of gremlins. That's that's fair. I gave them two bonus points for their sense of humor because. Good. They are very funny, pretty effective. And, but yeah, for scariness, I just put on the verge, like, I give them two points because they're not scary, but they are iconic.
00;26;47;18 - 00;27;06;12
And I did the same thing. It is like it's kind of like Gremlins where it's like, oh, they were scary as a kid when I was younger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. Yeah. Now I'm thinking about the kills I fucked up there. They should have been higher on my list, but you did a disservice to this. I know have changed the the world's perspective on, on global tours.
00;27;06;12 - 00;27;27;00
Yeah. Great. Shall we move on, I forget. Yeah, I wish I remember, I know we're in this small town right now and everyone I know, it's like, I overspent. There's. I can't see any servers back. Where is it? Oh. Oh, it was pointed at the sign that says it's literally right in front of me. Rovers. But so it would go it says do not entry grovers bend over.
00;27;30;05 - 00;27;57;16
All right. Are we ready? Yeah. 21 here we go. Whoa. This is surprising. This is the death spiral from Uzumaki. Wow. This is surprising to you? Yeah, I had it a little higher, okay, I okay, yeah. Let's do this. See where they can reveal where we were. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm the outlier here. Yeah. Casey came in at number 17, Danny at 15, and I put him at 21.
00;27;57;18 - 00;28;21;04
Yeah, I mean, still in the middle or like, lower, but, I mean, it's it was, it was just, I mean, essentially it was just like a, you know, final destination death, but just means, you know, they worked for me on kills and, effectiveness really boosted them up because I gave them fives. Literally unstoppable and fucking brutal.
00;28;21;07 - 00;28;48;23
Yeah. Never hurt them. Is. There's really no explanation. Oh, wait. So kills you put fucking brutal. Yeah. Yeah. For death spiral or they put him in the washing machine. But these were the giant twisty fucking, snail thingy. German dude turns into a snail, and then the guy gets hit by a car, and then the opening is this Islanders all over again.
00;28;48;26 - 00;29;10;03
It's like, well, I have a I have trouble with ones that, like, don't have a physical movie set up right on Coast. Yeah. Coastal towns. Must it must be the salt in the air, I don't know. Yeah, but, I and I did have terrifying to just because it's death and thinking about death, you know what I mean?
00;29;10;03 - 00;29;31;08
It's just. Yeah, I have a four for them. Dude, I have not scary at all. Yeah, it does literally. Pretty good. I thought it was pretty quirky. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's interesting I see I, I yeah I can see where that's the beauty of these things. You know we go with our gut, we go with our instincts.
00;29;31;10 - 00;29;53;04
Death spiral. You're still in our top or bottom 25 so. Oh shit. They came in right where I ranked them 21. Yes. Oh, yeah. I didn't put that together. Yeah. See, that means my answers. You're right, I'm right. All right. Now. Okay. Now let's rank. We just left one village. We're in another village. Which one would we.
00;29;53;08 - 00;30;14;10
Which one do we prefer? Where did we just leave? Oh, I'd rather be in South Bend. Over. Oh, I would much rather be in Grover's Bend than I'd rather bend over. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Take off the tailpipe. Yeah, exactly. All right, let's get the hell out of here. Planes out to leave. Let's get to the airport. I wanted to spend more time in Japan, but that's okay.
00;30;14;12 - 00;30;39;13
So I do want to go to KC. We gotta go. Oh, basically, we're gonna all share this bicycle and get in trouble this week for a trip. But the cop in the flip flops comes out, and he's like, he's chasing us. Okay, we are now at number 20, y'all. Y'all ready for this burning thing? We go loved ones.
00;30;39;15 - 00;31;03;00
There he is. Good old loved and loved. Bartowski. Loved infidels. Yet? Zach is surprised. I'm a little surprised where we received everything. Oh, God. Dude, this is our biggest, split. Oh, wow. Number 220. And that's what I ranked him, so I am. So you're right. I think you're right about 20, which he landed in. Danny 21.
00;31;03;05 - 00;31;24;12
I ranked him at number 11. Dude, he's I have him on the verge of scary. Achieved very little. He is iconic. So five for design. Okay, let me, like, let me find him on my list. Five I did give him two bonus points. Two. And he still I did two bonus points. The fact that it's Warwick Davis.
00;31;24;19 - 00;31;46;23
Wait a second. Okay. I gave you so you would have that lower. I said I gave him a four for scariness. He's fucking wild. Can you imagine running into him? The thing is, is he did scare leprechaun. It was one of the scarier monsters for me as a kid. Yeah, I like the idea of hearing, like, the little tap tap, tap tap of, like.
00;31;46;25 - 00;32;13;05
And then sings this, like, creature flash by. But as I got older, I just, I don't know, I maybe I'm just so. I love Warwick Davis and I love his performance. So maybe that affected the scary factor. Maybe it's a me problem. I don't know if scariness was just hard for me to rank, not hard for me to rank, but I just like, you know, like just yeah, I want to be actually scared and I'm not really normally.
00;32;13;05 - 00;32;39;14
So there are few things, you know, like the death spiral is terrifying to me because that's actually thinking about death and death. Yeah, yeah. See, this with also just a subjectivity comes into this objective kind of number system, which is good. But it's it works. Yeah. I think if they removed the scene where they're able to distract the loved in with by throwing shoes at him because he killed himself a polish that like that was like, oh, you're kind of hurting your chances.
00;32;39;14 - 00;33;02;28
You're my friend. Yeah, I gave him a you know, I did give him a two for effectiveness. He achieved very little. Yeah, but he's iconic, his designs iconic. He's got multi-layered lore. He's been around a long time. See, I did general info. I give him a names. I felt like we go more into it in into the other ones.
00;33;03;00 - 00;33;26;24
But it was just kind of like, oh, fuck that up. That's okay. No, but no, but that's fair because it's he's playing a leprechaun. And there is kind of common knowledge of what a leprechaun is, you know? So it's it's kind of implied that. Yeah, yeah, I got you. Yeah. You're okay. I'm also bitter. We could have done a trip to Ireland on this ranking, but we had to go work and that's like, for sure some zinger down.
00;33;26;25 - 00;33;49;15
Yeah. Jennifer Aniston moved out so we don't even get to meet her. Yeah. What? We decided they were like, they were, creating, like, a fucking MAGA Republican village. Yeah. The words, we gotta get the fuck out of here. All right, let's go. Right. Let's get the fuck out of here. Okay? Right. We're on 19, number 19.
00;33;49;17 - 00;34;10;11
Shout out to Stephen King. What number 19 was that is an iconic number from the Dark Tower series. Oh, careful to it's a dude. I was in the bookstore yesterday. Before we move on, who do you think has more books? I mean, it's not a like you could find out. It's not like it's just guessing.
00;34;10;13 - 00;34;28;19
Dean Koontz or Stephen King. I'm just going to say Dean Koontz, because that feels like the right answer. I don't know, I just I was just looking like, oh, each one had like five shelves of just them. And I was like, oh my God. I was just again, like, this is something you could Google. But this is just curious.
00;34;28;19 - 00;34;48;11
No, listeners, we're not, we're not we're not doing this. Oh, snow off, in your next, review on Spotify or Apple podcast, let us know what you think. Do you put Stephen King, who wrote the most? Let's take a guess. And you can't Google it. Yeah, I don't and don't say just write a number down. You don't have to give any context.
00;34;48;13 - 00;35;19;06
Just write like 24. You know, like great. Good review okay. Number 19. Is that upset? No I'm sorry guys. Okay. It's Howard Howe, number 19. From Tusk. From Tusk. Tusk is one of my all time favorites. But him as a monster. Yeah, I don't mind him. Yeah. We 19. We talked about combining, like, are we considering other quote unquote monsters?
00;35;19;06 - 00;35;41;10
And we were like, no, let's just keep it focused. Yeah. Let's see. Oh, okay. Pretty much. Wow. Casey. Yeah. Casey. Him in that gave him his followers. Well let's see here. So Casey ranked him at 14, Danny at 19 and Zach at 18 at me. So Zach you had 21 matching your 21 spot Casey at 20 matching her 20 and over 19 matching my 90.
00;35;41;10 - 00;36;02;05
Oh wonderful that also we are in Canada right now I should yes in case listeners are wondering. So I have him at literally unstoppable which I don't know if I meant to do that, but it probably should have been nearly unstoppable. But he did do what he wanted to do. Yeah he did it. So yeah. Yeah.
00;36;02;08 - 00;36;32;00
And I'm pretty scary because me too. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's not he's not traditionally scary, but. Right. It's right. The fact and then everything else. Yeah. Threes I had some interesting lore but I don't know if that came from like his ship story. Oh, yeah. Totally. Totally. Yeah. I gave him four on that one. Because the fact that so much, there's so much emphasis on his story, but then it just that's the whole reason.
00;36;32;03 - 00;37;02;08
Two reason is but then it's like, does that how do you factor that in. Yeah. Right. The highest thing I gave him was kills imaginative I gave him a four. And it's a pretty imaginative way to, to to kill somebody, turn him into a fucking walrus. I probably would have given him a five in that one, but I think, and this is more of a me problem, I had such, I was so anxious about watching this movie, and then it turned out to be not as like, crazy as I thought.
00;37;02;10 - 00;37;19;26
So that shouldn't be. It's not that I maybe it's more of a subconscious thing, but yeah, we had to push you to watch that. That was. Yeah, literally. They pushed me in the tank. Approve. And now he wants us to do Terrifier three for Christmas. I thought we're gonna say now he wants us to turn him into a walrus.
00;37;19;26 - 00;37;37;09
And you're changed, man. Danny, thanks to Howard. How, hard. How did you do it? How did you do it? All right. Do we want to stick around and have some tea with Howard or. I don't want to drink that tea. No, but it's just going to knock you out and turn you into a walrus. Oh, it's true.
00;37;37;11 - 00;38;03;09
So, let's move on. All right. If we move on, you'll know that we did not drink the tea, so let's see. Oh, yeah. All right, let's see, where did our flight land today? More than. Whoa. And just. Wow. Dirt. Well, we also traveled through time. Yeah. This is flight 180, number 18. This is the squid monster from possession.
00;38;03;12 - 00;38;35;23
Let's see where we, personally ranked them. It. Wow. Casey and I, same ranking stack. I hated this monster. Casey. We both ranked him at 30. At 13. Sorry. 13. And I put him at 24. It was a little bit hard to. This was tough. But I guess it ended up because it wasn't just that's the issue with this one in particular, is that the monster wasn't just the monster.
00;38;35;23 - 00;39;06;13
Totally, totally. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yep. It's the influence the monster's having and. Yeah. Yeah. Look was forgettable. No backstory skills were dull. At this. But we're okay. You must not remember the movie. It happens, but you do this. I have a five for being literally unstoppable. Like, oh, yeah, is undefeatable. And we're pretty sure, spoiler alert for possession.
00;39;06;13 - 00;39;37;15
Maybe it is the world zero. That's another thing. The movies. It's very the monsters, very abstract. So I think you may have taken something like from one element of it, whereas like Casey and I may have taken it from something else. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's valid. That's the thing is, like the kills were because of how it, see, I can't even properly describe this because of how abstract it was, but, like, did the squid monster kill anybody?
00;39;37;17 - 00;39;54;11
It was, Anna. Is that her name? And it was that her name? Anna. But that's the girl thing. It was like to me, they were the same. They were part of each other. Kind of. Yeah, she was. That's where I was going. They were fucking each other, right. But it was part of it. So there are two separate entities, but it's not.
00;39;54;14 - 00;40;13;05
It's, Spice Girls song when two become one. Like when when you fucking, you know, tonight is the night, you're just. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I thought it was separate things because, like, fucking squid monster just laying around on the bed all day, squirming around. Yeah. But in my mind, it wasn't really eating squid, I don't know.
00;40;13;08 - 00;40;34;17
Yeah, yeah, like the kills. Like, that's why I put doe. Because, like, it didn't kill anybody. Yeah. This one tough. And this is, it's just it comes down to like, the abstract. Yeah. Abstract liveness I don't know. Yeah. Love the movie, by the way. I know we're not talking about this movie, but. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fucking like masterpiece.
00;40;34;19 - 00;40;53;09
But that's what's so great about these rankings is because even though, Zack, you had the fact that Casey and I had this other perspective, it I mean, it puts at 18, which I think is pretty solid. Yeah. Like, oh yeah. Because even I would argue like the kills are great, but I had them more solid than anything because they are few and far between.
00;40;53;12 - 00;41;18;25
Which is fine. But that was just my approach. I think the fucking grosses kill the movie comes from Sam Neill's character when he kills the pilot. Oh, yeah. Blows about his name. Heinrich. No, I don't like, so much toilet death in this this freak skull year. Oh, I already have some ideas for movies that I want to bring in for next year.
00;41;18;25 - 00;41;50;12
And from what I can remember, I don't even know if they have indoor plumbing, so I think we're in good shape. Oh, are toilets okay? But, yeah, I believe, is it the Soviets? Is that Berlin Wall? I hear sirens. They're they're Soviet. Yeah. If you've ever seen Argo, I can go. This is like the end of Argo, where we're like, we're on the tarmac at the airport, and we're, like, screaming at the party like, go, go, go and all the, like, the the, the the bad guys are chasing.
00;41;50;15 - 00;42;14;22
They're running down the door like, well, like, we gotta get out of here. We're American citizens. We get to. Maybe we don't want to go back to America. This is not the greatest place, you know. But we're where it is. But then, yeah, I slam on the brakes. Yes, and I let the Soviet Union guys catch up because I want to talk real quickly about the squid monster some more, like, they're like, okay, we're listening.
00;42;14;24 - 00;42;32;00
But I do want to point out, you know, we talked, you know, if you didn't listen to our possession episode in Fuck You, by the way. I'm just kidding. The special effects artist for the squid monster like to put together his look. Thought he had a lot more time than he did. And when he came to set, they were like, we need this tomorrow.
00;42;32;00 - 00;42;50;00
And he's like, oh, I thought I had weeks. And they're like, oh, you need to put it together. And so they kind of mishmash some stuff and for its look, I liked it when it was on the bed all squirming around and it's got the tentacles. But the first two times you see it, I was kind of like, what is what is that?
00;42;50;00 - 00;43;10;26
Oh my God, it's weird and gross. Oh, I like it. I think I was just so shocked. I didn't know this was in this movie. So yeah, it kind of landed. It stuck with me a little. Right? Right. Okay, okay. Get the plane moving there. Kind of. Again. Wait. Okay. We distracted them. Zach did, like, a cool, like, little, distracted.
00;43;10;29 - 00;43;33;03
Yeah. He made. He's like, look over there. And they were like. Yeah. And then we took off. I threw him out the window because they didn't have tickets. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Have tickets. That's okay. Friends too. Yeah a franchise we actually covered last year. It's not our job to tell you what it is. Figure it out Dan you're right, I don't how many books Stephen King wrote, how many books Dean Koontz wrote in which movie?
00;43;33;03 - 00;43;51;14
We're talking about. But with that, the plane is taken off and we're actually fast forward about to land into our number 17 spot where you're like, oh, by the way, I should say, we all close our eyes and we keep the windows down, which seems irrelevant. Oh, and we put headphones in because the pants for the first will tell us where we are.
00;43;51;15 - 00;44;13;25
Right? Do we have our next pillows? Yes. I hate neck pillows. Me too. Yes. I have three seats so I can lay down. Oh, shit. That's nice. Yeah. Cases we every time. That's also this pushed us back another year. So this has been going on for years because we had to find three seats for case. Yeah it was so we had to work a little longer to pay it.
00;44;13;28 - 00;44;35;13
We've been doing overtime. Yeah I was going to say these these segue these Segways between locations are pretty thought out, seeing as how we don't know the numbers. And we've been recording this over the past four years in real time. Yeah, it's a very impressive Danny. It's longer than our discussions about the monsters that we're talking about. But but also whatever.
00;44;35;17 - 00;44;51;00
Along with setting up the ranking for us, the collective ranking. Cody's been buying all of our tickets and everything, so we've made him. But he makes sure to organize it so he's. Yeah. So. And then we have to like our travel agent, Venmo and PayPal and, you know, pay them back and all that stuff. Exactly. So very technical.
00;44;51;00 - 00;45;08;16
We put a lot into this, guys. This is years in the making. Yeah. So what do you think? Should we go, turn up. Yes, please. Yes, please. Oh, no. Oh, we gotta go back to 17. Oh my gosh. Jesus Christ, we're at 17, right? No. Oh, God. My God, is it 17? Yes. Yeah. Let me double check.
00;45;08;16 - 00;45;32;06
I'll check 18. See, look how great this system is. 18. It's Cody. It's just part of this, you know. Where are we going? So nice, doctor Morrow, we're getting on a boat because I don't think I can fly into this Doctor Morrow from the island of Doctor Morrow. Yeah. Oh, Casey. I'm sorry. Okay, so, I know Casey.
00;45;32;12 - 00;45;57;07
What? Listen, I gave him five bonus points just because I love the guy, I. I knew that he was not going to be that high on your list, so I gave him the five extra points. Okay. Just to give him a fighting chance. Yeah. So Casey, Danny and I both ranked him at number 20. Casey ranked him at number eight.
00;45;57;10 - 00;46;16;25
I think what pushed him over for me, he was pretty like either low to mid in a lot of my choices. But I think what gave him a boost was kills like even five for fucking brutal because like he technically doesn't kill, but he is like kind of like Howard. How it's like removing their humanity and. Right. Which I guess I gave him double because.
00;46;16;27 - 00;46;43;04
Wow. Interesting. And like he probably like off screen in the past killed a bunch of people in his experiments every. Yeah. Okay. Really just shooting. So what? So he also had the gift right away. And then it comes back, he's like, threw off again. Yeah. Fives for me for intro. And I love that intro. That's so.
00;46;43;04 - 00;47;11;13
And what was it? I'm sorry. Casey, we kicked off his. His design. Yeah. Oh, specifically because of the sunscreen. Yeah, yeah, it's. And then that stupid fucking hat he wears later and makes, first of all, put the nice in it and shit like that. Oh my God. Yes. And his right and his little doctor I don't know. Yeah I gave him threes for for look and, and intro right down right in the middle of the road because it is pretty.
00;47;11;15 - 00;47;34;14
You know him in that intro I'll never forget I did so not okay. Yeah. That sunscreen. He would be number one on mine if they ended up taking his idea to make him half dolphin. You. You can't beat that. I'm sorry. Like giving up. Yeah. Dude. Howard. Howard fucking lose his mind. You. Yeah. Oh, God. We got have to get them together.
00;47;34;14 - 00;47;50;04
That would be. That's a good point. Yeah. So. Okay. I know he just got off the boat, but I think we have to get back on to it. Actually, they don't have a boat. It's just a raft. So this could take us even longer. Oh, yeah. Wherever are going. Okay. We are now at our number 16. Y'all ready for this?
00;47;50;06 - 00;48;21;22
The raft is coming in. Let's see where it's taking us. It's okay. So it took us to a state that is has no coastline. It's landlocked. Yeah. Okay. Sorry, guys. The collector from Demon Knight. Oh my God, in Billy Zane in the membrane. That's crazy. Casey. Number 23. Danny 17. Me number eight. I feel good because it's close to where I put him.
00;48;21;25 - 00;48;42;09
This is where, like, this is like, I think in this part of our ranking, like, in these middle numbers, someone's going to get really upset because I think there's no way or excited somebody, top ones are going to be in this, in this bit. But, dude, he's so funny. I don't it's another movie. I don't remember anything.
00;48;42;10 - 00;49;07;26
Oh my God. I put a three for scariness. He's pretty scary. He's pretty fucking effective. Number three is look as badass number I gave him four. Multi-layered lower. Yeah. I was split between law and uninteresting law. Yeah. Three and four. Because it's like the whole demon thing is, like, you know, it's like, I kind of wish I gave him an extra point.
00;49;07;29 - 00;49;28;00
His intro is pretty fucking memorable. When he punches the fucking cop through the head and his head gets stuck on his, and I didn't remember it at all. Yeah. And then even if you if you take it a step further when he introduces himself that he can, like, summon these demons, that's a great scene where he's out kicking the dirt and he's like, oh, fucking bow dunk.
00;49;28;00 - 00;49;46;14
Oh, dang. He fucking. That's true. I did give him an extra point just because he's played by Billy Zane, and it's honestly such an underrated performance. If you haven't totally, you should check it out for that alone. Yeah. And I gave him a I gave him three extra bonus points for Sense of humor because he's really fucking funny.
00;49;46;17 - 00;49;57;18
Yeah he fucking yeah two is across the board for me. He wants fucking, Thomas Haden Church to wipe up the blood from the doorway. And he, like, flips the sponge out of his mouth like it's.
00;49;57;20 - 00;50;24;09
Anyways, you guys don't remember that. That's okay. I don't remember to. I should also point out that and with the scoring system, a lot of these, a lot of our choices have like, the same score. So then that was where we would personally tie break our own choices to get our personal ranking. So like I have him like I mean it's out of however many 30 something points with our personal bonus.
00;50;24;11 - 00;50;47;07
Like I had him at 19 and then I bumped him to 17, so I did. Actually. I was giving him like the benefit of the doubt because there were a lot of things I liked. But yeah, yeah, it just it I think it's tough when you're like a human character, even if you have like human surface level. But I mean it more like he's kind of just looks on surface.
00;50;47;07 - 00;51;05;25
On the surface is like this, like funny cowboy kind of character. So it's hard for me sometimes to be like, this is an iconic monster, you know, like, so that's I'm glad we have these other elements, but that it does kind of have an effect. I mean, he's kind of like, I haven't, I haven't read The Dark Tower, but you seem to be a fan of it, Danny.
00;51;05;28 - 00;51;30;16
And, I know we did. I think we did talk about some some, similarities between him and and, the fucking stand. Randall Flagg. Randall Flagg. He's got, like, the trench coat and the thing and, what hurt me here. He's pretty mid across the board, except for kills. I give him a massive, but it's just he's on the verge of scary in my.
00;51;30;16 - 00;51;50;16
Yeah. You know, he's like, there's something there that's unnerving. And it's. But it's what he does with his powers as a monster that I thought was, landed for me more than just kind of like surface level scariness. Right? Because you also have to take into account the end when he turns into, like, the winged devil, which kind of hurt for me.
00;51;50;22 - 00;52;07;21
I love that look, you know? Okay. Do it. There's another movie on on, that will show up. And I know the character kind of has a similar turn. I thought that one is a little more effective. Okay. Yeah, I, I yeah, I know what you're talking about, and we'll get there, but yeah, I agree. Okay.
00;52;07;24 - 00;52;26;16
All right. Number 16. Not bad. Yeah, yeah. And now it looks like someone thinks we we were the ones who were trying to steal their car. So we should probably. We should be, like, running away from a lot of these guys that you noticed. We're not just like Libor or fleeing. Yeah, oddly enough, the one place I felt kind of like a nice little, I don't know, like, there was no tension.
00;52;26;16 - 00;52;51;25
Was the the island of doctor, our there were like, later there's a raft. Number 15 with that. Yeah, right. 15 guys ready? No. Okay, so the Kronos device from Kronos. I'm happy with this. Where did I. It could have been a lot lower. Yeah, yeah, I thought it would. I thought you guys would have it, like, so low.
00;52;51;27 - 00;53;13;14
Well, can you, can you just use the first. Oh, yeah. The ranking. Sorry. Oh, okay. Casey. Number 21. Danny. Number ten. And I put a mat, or I put the device at number 16. As you can see, I feel like 23, 25. We're just movies that I didn't remember, so I didn't know. I don't remember anything about.
00;53;13;17 - 00;53;29;02
I thought when we did this, you guys, I don't. I think you guys were as big a fan of it as I was. Correct. Right? Yeah. I didn't care for it, but it was. It was one again where I, I liked it more after our conversation about it got you. Yeah. But I still I just don't remember a lot of it.
00;53;29;02 - 00;53;53;04
I remember Ron Perlman. My thing was like I'm, it's nearly I put it as nearly unstoppable. Same. Yeah I thought the design is iconic that look. And maybe it's because I just remember like posters and stuff like that and oh yeah, I have a soft spot for Carmel del Toro in the way that he likes his, his the the world and his imagination and the way he designs things.
00;53;53;04 - 00;54;11;08
It's just beautiful. So yeah, that was iconic. Kills were pretty low. That hurt it. But then I kind of gave it two extra just because I. I love the movie. Yeah, I gave it a bonus point for, just being different. Like it was. Yeah, yeah. You know, that's not a type of monster you see all the time.
00;54;11;09 - 00;54;36;14
Like a immortal bug living in a. Yeah, like. Oh, yeah. Gold plated gas device. Then, you know, remember, it looked like, you know, it almost is like, there's not many devices that you get besides, like the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser. Yeah. This and that case, you're not going to rank that because you have the, the, denim bytes, terabytes, the center bytes.
00;54;36;14 - 00;54;51;27
Yeah. So yeah, it was definitely it's definitely unique. I mean, yeah, I'm actually really happy with this. This is a lot higher, as I put it at number ten, I thought this would be much lower. So it landed at 15. I put it at 16. So I'm the most straight I guess. Yeah. So Zach like kind of one.
00;54;51;27 - 00;55;14;18
So I kind of won this one. Your prize is a Kronos device you got to put on your wrist right now and rub it until it pokes me. Yeah, that's what it's that, it's, if you rub it long enough, it will eventually poke you.
00;55;14;20 - 00;55;32;16
Ron Perlman has given us some dirty looks, so let's get the hell out of here. All right. So, rub, rub in the device. It just poked me. Let's get the fuck out of here. Yeah. We need. Hopefully we can find a cure for Zach in this next location with our next monster. Let's see what it is at number 14.
00;55;32;19 - 00;55;57;11
No, no! Help! No! Can I make a deal with the devil? Satan? End of days. Coming in. What? Did you have this number for? God. This can't happen again. I'm. I'm guessing that Zach had this stopping number one. Yeah, this is number one. There's no fucking way. Because that's about to reveal it. Where? Where we rigged everything. Okay.
00;55;57;11 - 00;56;23;18
Oh, I said number four is this I was right. My number four. Oh, my God. Came in at number 14. Casey, you put at 18. Danny at 22. So another movie. So I don't remember anything about. Again, I don't remember like, anything about this movie. Okay. Except the end when he, like, turns into, like, his final form.
00;56;23;20 - 00;56;44;12
Yeah. And I did like that a lot. Okay. You don't remember his intro when he takes over that guy in the fucking. That's my. I get in the back me and then he goes and pulls that girl's titty out and kisses her in front of her husband. Blows up, blows fucking. Well, I remember it now, but I just remember so.
00;56;44;14 - 00;57;06;15
So to be honest, the most the highest I gave him was effectiveness. Nearly unstoppable. And, I don't even basically almost defeats Arnold in the end, he's literally doing I don't even remember what he's doing in this movie. That's it then. That's a pro. He's kind of like a little problem. Nips. We'll see. That's it's like he's literally unstoppable.
00;57;06;15 - 00;57;28;24
He's fucking Satan. Arnold. Just stop. I got his Arnold just stopped his mission. So like where I. That's why I had to dock him a point. Okay. Don't be upset with me. I love Satan, okay? I know you just I know God, his look is badass, both in human focused and Gabriel, he had that fucking mad slick as hell.
00;57;28;27 - 00;57;52;10
And then you get when he does turn into the demon version of him. Also badass. Huge bust through the church. Awesome. I agree multilayered Lord, he's fucking devil. I did some interesting lore as it is. It's like I was like the devil. His intro is very memorable, saying, solid kills. And then let's see, I gave him three pointed fine kills.
00;57;52;10 - 00;58;11;01
I felt like I don't remember any of the kills he fucking. The only one I remember is, Ludo or Ludo? Ludo? Ludo? Is it Udo Kier? Is that his name? Yeah, he punches into the face. What about when he is like. What about when he pisses fire into the fucking Kevin Pollack's van? And blows them up?
00;58;11;03 - 00;58;30;09
That's really. That's good. And again, good. It seems like I gave most of my bonus points for Senses of Humor. I gave him three bonus points for his sense of humor because he's like, I'm silly around here. Like a silly monster, the way that he fucking fucks with Arnold by showing him the night that his family was killed.
00;58;30;12 - 00;58;52;29
Remember that in the apartment? And he's like, you're going to relive this? And he's like, he's fucked up, man. He's well, he's Satan. Number four. Oh my God, you guys. Sorry, Zach. But listen, because you we we lucked out because you put him so high. He he's in the middle, you know, he appreciated you, and he did remove the Cronus device from you successfully.
00;58;52;29 - 00;59;12;01
Oh, yes. Oh, God. Satan. Yeah. That's it. Thanks, Satan. Thank god. Thanks, Satan. Yeah. He is, however, giving Casey and, I'll take whatever looks to me. So what? I want to run away because I'm scared. Because he's about. We haven't told him that. I rage at 22 and I don't want. But where are we at New York?
00;59;12;03 - 00;59;29;01
We're in New York right now. Yeah, New York, New York thing. I want to go. Yeah, I tell you that I have a soft spot for New York. Yeah, same depending on where you go. They just don't go to Times Square. It's the Times Square. Times square. It's. This fucking movie takes place at fucking New Year's Eve in New York City.
00;59;29;01 - 00;59;50;11
I like to go to Times Square. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to put on a diaper. I mean, I always have a diaper. Number 13. Oh my God. Oh, this should have been. This should have been Satan. But, Okay, let's see who stole that spot and who's sitting there pissed that, Yeah.
00;59;50;14 - 01;00;23;00
Wait a second. Wait, is the god carnivorous vines beat out Satan? Plants. I can't help remember character. Let's see, I remember these. So these are. These are the carnivorous vines from the ruins. Let's see where we put them. I mean, kills brutal, effectiveness. Unstoppable. Danny. Danny. Really scary. Danny, can you show us where we. Can you show us where we all right, but I got press.
01;00;23;03 - 01;00;43;25
Oh, okay. Well, Casey and I are on the same page. Danny, we have been. Yeah, on the same page. Can I have, what's your on us together? Casey. And they do not have the same sensibilities when it comes to horror. And whatever brought us together this year brought us together. You guys are ten, 11 carnivorous vines. Yeah, I put them at number 22.
01;00;43;25 - 01;01;08;20
Yes. Yeah, it kills her. Brutal. Memorable. Yep. Intro. Yeah. Law is going to hurt for me because there really isn't much lower. Right. Kind of. It's implied where the okay. These ruins it's pretty cool. There's the thing with the locals kind of protecting it, but I was like, not enough. We go, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I put pretty effective forgettable in terms of their look because they're fucking plants.
01;01;08;22 - 01;01;27;07
There's plants everywhere. That one. Yeah I actually was, I did pretty good and I think it may have had something to do with taking into account like, which maybe is wrong, but kind of their location is it feels like part of them, like they, that's like their body and they're kind of like woven in with it.
01;01;27;07 - 01;01;49;07
So yeah, I just like that. Like if it was carnivorous vines and it was set in the fucking town from leprechaun, I'd be like, oh, it's kind of lame. But the fact that they have this awesome, like ruins in the temple and all that, it helps. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I put the yeah, they're fucking terrifying and literally unstoppable.
01;01;49;10 - 01;02;10;02
Oh, Casey hates plants, Casey. Not scary, I hate them. Yeah, they're going to eat you. Wow. You're scared of plan. Oh my God, would you would you be scared of, Venus Flytrap? No. Would you not be terrified of these vines? If you were on this? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they would be. I mean, they can mimic sound.
01;02;10;05 - 01;02;31;07
Dude, that's the rats. Don't really put them up. That's what put them up to. Really scary is because of how they have evolved. That scene is so good. Fuck, I love that part of that. And I didn't even think of it. Yeah. Listeners, if you haven't seen The Ruins, you should. I don't even want to. I won't say any more if you haven't listen to the episode, just watch it for that.
01;02;31;07 - 01;02;51;07
And I won't say what that is, but you'll know it because, yeah, yeah, check out the ruins. And while you do, while you're watching the ruins, we're going to find a way off of this, Mayan temple. Yeah. They're literally shooting arrows at us, and somehow we've. We're dodging them. Really? Well, Zach just did ten backflips in a row.
01;02;51;07 - 01;03;09;28
Yeah, well, it's just because, just a different arrow. It's each of them with the fuck. It's just Harry from Dumb and Dumber with a bow and arrow, and we're like, yeah, they're all really. But none of them can be terrifying. But you're a terrible shot. All right. Yeah. Let's get the fuck out here because this is terrifying.
01;03;09;28 - 01;03;32;27
And hopefully let's check. Okay. We're not infected with carnivorous. And then there's going to be some upsets coming, and I'm not happy about it. Oh, for you, I'm good for pulling cases. Like I feel good about this. All right. I mean, the ones that I really care about, I'm fairly certain you do too. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's see.
01;03;32;28 - 01;03;52;06
I think we could probably do this. OKC did not mean that. No. You do know, do you? I was like, oh no there's only one. There's only one that I care about. And it will be in the top five okay okay I think I have a feeling our top five will be similar. Yeah. But I've eaten my words before.
01;03;52;08 - 01;04;16;16
Let's see if this monster at number 12 eats their words. Oh, okay. This is just in a violent nature. Yeah. Let's see what we got. Oh, that was my number 12. Well, yeah. So this was all very easy. Were like your point for point. Yeah. Casey ranked him at 12, which he landed in in our definitive ranking Danny at number nine.
01;04;16;19 - 01;04;37;07
And I put him down at number 14 about halfway. Him well, Casey was brutal. More brutal than him, apparently. Yeah. His kills fucking brutal. His look, I like what they were going for. I really don't like his mask. Like, I like the idea of what they were trying to accomplish with. Yeah, they're trying to create something iconic.
01;04;37;08 - 01;05;03;04
Yeah, and I give him props for that. But, I just didn't care for the old school firefighter mask with the circles with the cages on them. And, yeah, that was pretty much threes across the board, except for kills and effectiveness. He's literally unstoppable. And the brutal, like some of the most fucking most brutal kills I've ever seen.
01;05;03;07 - 01;05;31;24
Yeah, not totally the most, but like, holy potatoes and I really can't. Sure. Bonus point. Just, because I was, I was oh, that's the thing. I gave him a bonus point because I love the idea of the movie of being in the necessarily a killer's POV, but following them as opposed to the third. Okay. Person. Yeah. Intro I thought was pretty memorable because there was like a bunch of hype with the movie being like, oh, it's totally following the killer's perspective.
01;05;31;24 - 01;05;49;28
And it's like, damn, do something different. So the movie starts out and you're like, okay, how are we going to get into this? And the camera just kind of sits on the ground for like a long time. And then if I can comes up like a zombie and that's great. It feels like, like a nature doc meets Friday the 13th.
01;05;50;00 - 01;06;08;02
So it's pretty cool. So if you're in that headspace where you want to see something a little more experimental, this is, a good movie to check out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, movie was great. Really good. He's a really good villain. I think I just, you know, I put him low because of his is not low. His look.
01;06;08;04 - 01;06;30;26
Well, I, I'm sorry. Like, I, I gave him low scores in my ranking for just for his look, you know, okay. It was a little like, I don't know, it was like a Jason copycat, but also just. Yeah, not. Hello. Yeah. Anyway, so your fancy is much like my fancy, but he's he's still about halfway, so. Yeah. Yeah.
01;06;30;29 - 01;06;53;15
Okay, let's leave the woods. Where it where the. What were the woods called? I think it was like upstate New York or something. Is where the woods were. The classic, the forest, the ancient forest and upstate New do not enter the woods of upstate New York. I was it lands. I used to tell people that, like when I moved to Oklahoma, they're like, oh, you're from New York?
01;06;53;15 - 01;07;14;27
Like, I moved from New York, you know, grew up in Pennsylvania but lived in New York. But I lived in Syracuse, New York when I lived there. And so it's like, oh, you came from New York, and everyone just assumed New York City. And I'm like, yeah, like 99% of New York is. Yeah, country. Yeah, I think 80% of New York is Oklahoma.
01;07;15;01 - 01;07;37;07
Yeah, basically. Yeah. So I was like, no, I just came from the fucking woods. That's why we're the Cursed lands. The Cursed lands, as I said, or as I says, as the guide said, oh, this is our living. We're almost in our top ten. Oh, my God, that's crazy. Okay, number 11, number 11. Here we go.
01;07;37;10 - 01;07;58;24
Oh, the flesh eating virus from cabin fever didn't make the top ten. I'm okay with this. Find out why. Oh, Zach, you say it like I thought you were. Like what? You were 13. No, I said I'm okay with that. I'm okay with it. Not making the top ten. Okay? 13 for me, 14 for Danny, seven for Casey.
01;07;58;26 - 01;08;19;07
Being a big Eli Roth fan. Casey, I can see just. It's not just that. Okay? It was fucking terrifying. It's literally unstoppable. Yeah. A design I put badass, but I guess that I was just thinking about all the disgusting things that it did, which would have been kills. Just. Sure. I think that's a fair read. Yeah, yeah.
01;08;19;09 - 01;08;44;00
It was fucking brutal. So, Yeah, I okay, so I put, fucking brutal kills, fucking terrifying scariness for effectiveness. I put nearly unstoppable. But I almost changed it to literally unstoppable. I should, I should, I know I should have given it that extra point. Yeah. Because it's like it's just in the water. Yep. And they spread it everywhere.
01;08;44;00 - 01;09;02;12
And once it's in, it's like you can't stop it. And so, I mean, I'm with you guys. I have fucking terrifying, literally unstoppable fucking brutal. I actually thought it would be higher and I was surprised because I think if we didn't have a point system, I maybe wouldn't have put it as high. Totally. But I think what really hurt it was design and lore.
01;09;02;14 - 01;09;18;02
I gave it a one. Yeah, there's a lower. We even talked about that on the show, like there's just nothing which is against the design in case. Yeah, to your point, you that's what I like. Yeah. Yeah yeah. So maybe we'll consider that next year where if we, if we keep lore, we can keep it a little loose, like.
01;09;18;04 - 01;09;34;27
Yeah. Well there might be a way to, to do it. We'll have to talk about it. But you know another category for like how it fits into the just the movie itself. Totally. Yeah. Because that's good because it does work in the movie that there is no backstory. You're just like with what the tone is, right? And it shouldn't be.
01;09;34;27 - 01;09;54;18
It shouldn't be docked for that. It should be. Yeah. So so we are going into our top ten. Do we want to do a recap now. Yes. Yeah. Okay. And we are going to get into it really. We're just going to rundown from 25 to to number 11. So this isn't going to be as seamless as I probably should have written them down.
01;09;54;18 - 01;10;11;18
But bear with me. So Zach or Casey, you guys want to read them off. And I'll just click there. You click through and we'll read them as fast as you can to do it. Like do it fast. Yeah. Breathe really high. Just 20 minutes. You want to do this, just click. It just changed into I'm wearing a lot of the flesh Adidas.
01;10;11;18 - 01;10;33;11
And I'm doing the gym slash outfit. You you're right. Now tell me it's Nike. It's just that flash costume from Spirit Halloween right now. I think you look like in my head. I mean, I see you, but as I close my eyes and you're doing it, you look like. So you look like Kevin Kline's character in The Big Chill, where he's going for a run and he's got the the little tiny shorts on.
01;10;33;13 - 01;10;57;26
Oh, I love that movie so much. Yeah, it's very good. Okay. Number 25 is Doctor Caligari from The Cabinet of Caligari. Oh, Caligari 24. Deakins Frost blade 2323. Vampires Abraham Lincoln oh 22. You say the monster. I'll say the movie. That's good. Great. Okay. But in we're not going to start over. It's going to seamlessly just keep going.
01;10;57;26 - 01;11;25;26
Is that okay? Okay. Number 22 Crites. Oh. Critters two okay. Critters number 21. That's by a monkey. Number 20. This is much better that my brain is so much better loved and loved in Bartowski from leprechaun. Number 19 Howard Tusk. Number 18, the squid monster. Possession. Number 17, Doctor Moreau. Island of Doctor Moreau. Number 16, the collector. Tales from the crypt presents.
01;11;25;26 - 01;12;01;09
Diminished number 15. The Cronos. Cronos. Number 14 Satan. End of days. Number 13. Carnivorous vines, the ruins. Number 12 Johnny Nature's Johnny the Serpent and flesh eating virus from Cabin fever. Now, don't keep going, Danny, I won't. Okay, let's get into our top ten. Yeah. Easy. Don't drink that water just before we're about to leave. Just don't drink the water thing, okay?
01;12;01;09 - 01;12;24;26
She's got canned. Well, it's like, just don't use the bottled water. Carbonated, right? That carbonated water. Yeah. We're safe. No. That's almost. Yeah, but I didn't put that in there. But if you just to make the water, it's safe. Yeah. Deleted scene. Oh. Okay. Number ten, we're in our top ten. That's crazy. We know we spent a whole year, the whole freak school year, meeting these monsters.
01;12;24;26 - 01;12;44;20
Yeah, and here we are over the course of a few hours, I have to say that I'm really fucking happy that one of my monsters made it to the top ten SPSS one. Just I, I was very worried that a specific one was going to be a big upset for me. And, Oh, I can't wait to find out what it is.
01;12;44;22 - 01;13;02;05
Okay. Oh, I think I know. Do you oh, I know, I'm sure, I'm sure it's number ten. I rated that person a lot higher than you probably think. Okay. All right. I'm sure they're number ten. Yeah, there is a rating. There's one that I. It's obviously in our top ten and I now I'm wishing it was our number one I know it well.
01;13;02;09 - 01;13;21;29
Oh never mind I did not rate this person. I did not rate this person really high but I damn it, I know who it is. I bet you it's on this show. Let's see, let's see. Oh my God, I was at next. Oh, you been worth saving because you don't know who we're talking about. Yeah, you made it to the top.
01;13;21;29 - 01;13;45;13
Let's see. Okay. Oh, who is it? Number ten is me. Forget it. Number ten is John Donovan from Thanksgiving. Another Eli Rock movie? Yeah. He's got the 11 over ten spot back to back. Casey. Number four. Wow. Danny 12. And, I put him at 17. Oh, I mean, that's my type of movie, you know? Totally, totally.
01;13;45;15 - 01;14;06;06
My type of monster, I should say. You know, I have him at 17, but, his his scores were pretty run of the mill. Like, it wasn't too bad for me. You know, for his look, I put pretty good. Yeah, I liked his look. It was a fun. That's a fun slasher costume. You know, the the the the mask is.
01;14;06;08 - 01;14;28;07
Yeah. It's solid. It's simple. All right. Simple is good. You know, you're talking about Johnny from in a Violent nature. And they're obviously going for a look. But Yeah. Well this one I think has the comedy on its side to. Yeah. You know like the comedic element. It's, you know imagine it. I gave him a four for kills imaginative kills.
01;14;28;09 - 01;14;52;00
Oh I did fucking brutal I did try this or crazy okay. So put him high intro and kills for me and effectiveness I had him at near. Oh let me yeah nearly unstoppable I thought dude yeah I probably should've went brutal on the kills because now that I'm thinking more like I forgot some of them like the dumpster kill, which is also, I think his intro officially.
01;14;52;00 - 01;15;17;29
Yeah, yeah, that seems pretty crazy like that puts you high in the list. Yeah. Which it did. It's that means number ten. Yeah. Yeah I love John Carver. And like I put forgettable for intro because to me when I think of like the, the intro intro of that movie, I'm thinking of the, the shopping, the Black Friday scene, which has nothing to do with him.
01;15;18;01 - 01;15;42;14
But you're, you're not remembering when we actually meet. Yeah. So that's why he got a low score there. But, other than that. Okay. Yeah, I think this is a really solid placement for him. I think this is, it it kind of colors everything that we individually like about monsters. Yeah. If it's. He really like it really, like, carves out the top ten.
01;15;42;16 - 01;15;59;15
Really is like the jury and the ignition. I was looking for a bigger reaction for that. Guys. Got, Thank you, thank you. Who else? Who?
01;15;59;17 - 01;16;21;26
Wait, are you mocking me or impersonating? Why would I mock you? We're not mocking you, but mama mocking Pooh. So back to, the the monster thing. I, Oh, yeah. This. I actually gave him five bonus points as well. Oh, that's another reason, dude. Perfect for a reason. Or just. Or because I like him. Okay. Just love I don't know.
01;16;21;26 - 01;16;41;14
Yeah. Just just have to be a good reason. I just wondered what your points are for. Yeah, I just, I don't know, because I like the slashers. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I wish. And he's nice to my personal bonuses. He's nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm excited to rewatch Thanksgiving. That'll be a fun. That's a very fun movie. Okay.
01;16;41;14 - 01;17;06;28
Yeah. Great. Good cast, great kills, perfect level of comedy. Yeah. Okay. Are we ready to number nine? Let's do it. Massachusetts for digesting our food. Oh, and we're on our way to. Oh, I keep getting happier and happier as this fucking thing goes on because there's more chances. Demonic for this is so much higher. I don't I don't know, that's not.
01;17;06;28 - 01;17;28;02
I guess I'm just surprised because it's so new. So I was like, yeah, where's this going to be on everyone? This is the demonic forces from the beyond. Whoa. Okay. That ranking, let's see, Casey, number 16, Danny number five. And they did make my top ten with number nine. It's a lot of number nine. Okay, good. Keep.
01;17;28;04 - 01;17;42;18
What is this is nine. Jack put it at nine. Oh, so I'm right. I love being right when we're right. Yeah, yeah. When I don't know. It was just very all middle of the road for me I mean I you know I did I really enjoyed the movie and I do like them but yeah. Yeah. Middle of the road.
01;17;42;18 - 01;18;05;27
One of the middle of the road ones, I didn't really I gave him the, you know, highest rankings for, effectiveness and kills same literally unstoppable and fucking brutal kills. Yeah. I had I had literally unstoppable and imaginative. So. Okay. Okay. Yes. And then everything else for design was a four. Laura was three. Like, we get some stuff, but it's nothing.
01;18;05;29 - 01;18;33;01
It's a little it's the movies. So you know, it's it's very, Lucio foggy. A lot of his movies are kind of like logic is kind of there and then it's not. And. Yeah. Yeah, almost feels like arthouse horror, but yeah, we talked about it on the episode a little bit, you know, with the, with that Gina movie is a lot of style over substance as they sometimes totally, rip doesn't mean they don't make sense, but, they do.
01;18;33;04 - 01;18;51;01
There was a lot of, emphasis put on to, like, the effects in the cinematography and the score and all that stuff, and. Yeah, and there's that famous, quote from I don't know if it's a famous quote, but David Lynch said he's less interested in kind of like what you understand about his movies, but how you feel?
01;18;51;03 - 01;19;16;11
Oh, sure. And that's very much this movie. Yeah. This is, I think, more digestible in terms of logic than a traditional David Lynch movie. But you can kind of see the a similar, I don't know. Yeah. Similarity. Yeah. So speaking of David Lynch, there's, an interview clip that I see that pops up on the internet every once in a while where he's like giving an interview and someone's like, can you say a little bit about the movie?
01;19;16;11 - 01;19;33;19
Like, can you talk about the movie? And he's like, he's like, well, no, like that's that's what the movie's for. Like, yeah, that's the same. And then you'll just watch the movie like, I don't like I put myself into the movies such as watching this or two. Why would I explain a thing that I spent all this time crafting?
01;19;33;19 - 01;19;50;29
Yeah. He's like, why do you want to talk about it now? Like, that's the movie. That's like, that's funny. What a guy. Yeah, a guy. Go see it. I'll tell you where it's located. Yeah. All right. So this was a fun we did end up. Listeners are probably wondering, we did spend a little longer here because we're here during, Mardi Gras.
01;19;51;00 - 01;20;08;04
This is in Louisiana. We did party. Yeah. And while we were here, our basement flooded. Yeah. And we had to come sell. Oh. Yeah, we. What did you say, Casey? Some hornets. Well.
01;20;08;06 - 01;20;39;01
I thought you said something dirty. Oh, you get it? That's a yeah. All right. Oh, but it isn't. Anyway, we celebrated Mardi Gras, but we were with a bunch of Italians, so it was mostly Italians. That's why. That's why my basement flooded. Oh, Italian, okay, I see. Yeah. Oh. Okay. Number eight. Let's see. My guy still got a fighting chance.
01;20;39;03 - 01;21;02;17
Oh, my God, I cannot believe that your guy beat my guy. This is, to be quite frank, case. He's going, not like me anymore, okay, I don't care. You're just wrong. This is. Oh, this is a juncture from I Saw the Devil. A, It's so bad at remembering to say that. So. Great. So it's dramatic, a great villain.
01;21;02;17 - 01;21;25;02
I love this this. Oh, is he a great villain? Danny? Oh, okay. This might be the most, like, disparity we. Yeah. Controversial. This is a kind of a big upset for Casey. I mean, he still made your top ten. Or the top ten coming at number eight is King. Casey, you put him at number two, Danny 16, and I put him at 12.
01;21;25;04 - 01;21;46;08
Well, he's fucking terrifying. Yes, his work is also terrifying. He's absolutely brutal. He's he's pretty good in the, you know, let me see what. I didn't even say, but he. Let's see. He's terrifying. Nearly unstoppable. He's badass. Doesn't have a backstory. His intro is unforgettable. He's fucking brutal. And I gave him five bonus points. Damn. Okay.
01;21;46;13 - 01;22;07;21
As points come in, I wish I, I didn't really I utilized bonus points. I'm like one. Well, I also knew that you guys weren't going to agree with me. Yeah. Oh. But, to be fair, even though this movie is, like, really outside of my, like, wheelhouse in terms of the movies I like to watch. Yeah, I thought it was fantastic.
01;22;07;24 - 01;22;29;15
And honestly, I put him at what hurt him because, yeah, it kills. I have fucking brutal. His intro is memorable. What hurt him for me was design and lore. Totally. It was just like I had. Not bad for design and general info for lore, and it just kind of but effectiveness I did. This is where I could see myself.
01;22;29;15 - 01;22;53;01
Maybe I went to low. I gave him a three for pretty fucking effective because he does get the movie in terms of like what we're shown, it is stopped multiple times right? It is like the point of the movie. So I tried to incorporate that. But I haven't for really scary, like terrifying. So he is pretty high, like, I, you know, five, four.
01;22;53;03 - 01;23;11;05
It's the, it's design. And Lord, that hurt him for me. He would have been much higher if there was something there. Yeah, I did give him a five for scariness. I put fucking terrifying. Yeah. Just because he's it's almost scarier that it's not like a monster. He just like a. Yeah. I mean, he's like a, you know, like a Lovecraftian monster.
01;23;11;05 - 01;23;33;13
He's like a person. And that makes it. Yeah, that makes him scared. He has this look in the movie that he gives sometimes where he looks sort of like he's not there for a little bit like the president. Is there a second? There's a vacancy in his eyes. Yeah. That's that's the kind of thing that upsets me because you're like, oh, I, I know I can't reason with like cthulu, but.
01;23;33;14 - 01;23;53;16
Right. Yeah. I could with you in the fact that I can't makes it scarier. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, and we've talked about it too, like with, with humans, it's scarier to me. I mean, do you guys know who the, Golden State killer was? I, I've heard the. Yeah, I've heard of that, but. So he was he was a serial killer, I think.
01;23;53;18 - 01;24;12;23
I don't know exactly the numbers for him, but I think he killed, like 12 people. But he also raped about a lot of women. He was also known as the East Area Rapist. And they didn't realize that he was the same person. And for, like the 2000. So he had two and he got two nicknames. Three. He was also the Vidalia ran sacker because he also robbed a bunch of homes and shit like that.
01;24;12;24 - 01;24;30;07
They did not know that this was a deli. And he that's he loved, you know, he loved. Yeah. I think it was Vidalia. It might not have been Vidalia. It was somewhere in California, the Vidalia. And it was a town. The onion thief strikes okay, don't make fun of me, because if I'm wrong, people are going to think I'm an idiot.
01;24;30;09 - 01;24;54;23
No, no, it's that. Anyway, I love that name. So they didn't know that. They did not know that he was all three of these people until genetic genealogy. Wow. Connected them all. Until DNA connected them all. And then genetic genealogy. Genealogy found him just a few years ago, thanks to, Patton, Oswald's wife. She was the one that stuck.
01;24;54;26 - 01;25;16;04
Yeah. Oh, shit. So, she was in the middle of writing her book about him when she passed away. Patton Oswald finished it. And the day that she. The day that he released the book was actually the day that the man was Abraham. How is it that that was a movie about. I know Oswald and his wife figuring this so damn, that's besides, I didn't know any of this shit.
01;25;16;06 - 01;25;38;27
Full story. But so I listened to, like, a 20 part series on this guy. And it was the only time in my life that I lost sleep because I was terrified. Oh, because of the stuff that he would do. And, like, he would break into people's homes and he would rape women, but he would do it to couples because he wanted the man to be there.
01;25;39;02 - 01;25;57;13
And he would take the man in a different room and tie him up and put him on his stomach and put dishes on his back so he could hear him if he moved, and then make him listen to him rape his wife or partner or whatever in another room. And so, and then also, yes, murdered 12 people as well.
01;25;57;15 - 01;26;28;24
This is who this man reminds me of. So, like, thinking about, like how I literally didn't sleep. I was listening to this podcast series, and I didn't sleep for, like, a week because of it. Because I was terrified of the idea. God. So Jesus Christ checks out. It makes sense. Yeah. And I'm glad that he's made it to our top ten for that reason, because you are, our in-house serial killer expert, our in-house serial killer, our in-house true crime expert.
01;26;28;27 - 01;26;51;11
True crime. There we go. Do we want to sit with children? I just got really fucking bummed out. I'm sorry. I got really excited. It's okay. Let's see who number seven is. Maybe it'll make you happy. Oh, this is going to put us. Maybe we can talk about somebody fun. Let's see. Number seven. Bring it home. Oh, okay.
01;26;51;14 - 01;27;10;27
How I didn't. Okay, okay. Number seven vampires from from dusk till dawn. Are you upset? Well, it's a click. The rings click the rings. Are you not happy with where it's on me? I like high or low. I am happy it should be lower or something else. I'm not happy where this landed. But I'm happy for somebody else.
01;27;10;29 - 01;27;38;21
But let's see what I know. It's so funny. Whoa, Zach, the GoPro. Holy shit. This is crazy. So the vampires from From Dusk Till Dawn wear my number one person. Weird. Day number six. Casey. Number 19. So me and Casey could not have been any different. Or, you know, we're pretty far away. Fuck you guys.
01;27;38;24 - 01;28;10;13
That's okay. They still made the top ten some happy top ten. Crazy. Yeah, they were so with no memories to me. Let's see. I'll go down. I'll go through my right. Yeah. Let me. I want to know what your, scariness five. Fucking terrifying. Yeah. When you get like, specifically, I, I was always so scared of Danny Trejo's vampire when he, like, jumps on the fucking pool table, and he, like, signals for sex machine to, like, basically, like, bring it on.
01;28;10;15 - 01;28;31;09
And then he's got that. That what just was. Danny Trejo jumps on a table and signals sex with Sex Machine to bring it on. But you know, he's also going to get the muscular and he's he's got those big like shoulders. And it's just like, oh my God. If he doesn't that to me. And I you know, he's muscular is beautiful big shoulders and he's he's just summoning you for sex.
01;28;31;09 - 01;29;04;24
And like Jesus says, bring it on. Sex machine. Let's see. Effectiveness nearly unstoppable. Same. They were very effective. Look is iconic. Some interesting interesting lore more so with like the you don't get a whole lot of it throughout the movie. But then at the end, spoiler alert if you haven't seen on, but you get the, the camera pulls back and you see the, the huge temple, like they've been doing this for a long time, probably ranked him higher on that one on it's honestly, I see I actually did two.
01;29;04;26 - 01;29;23;05
There's still number one that general gaming he's like that's only I I was more general info on that one because I almost I'm not. See this is where I should have taken from cases where it's like, I actually should have given points for how little we got, but we got like just the it's like a sweet spot.
01;29;23;05 - 01;29;47;13
Yeah. I feel like you and I might be on the same page with intro and kills, I'm guessing intro. Unforgettable. Same. That switch from it's genres is just one of the greatest. One of the greatest. Kills. Fucking brutal. Lots of fucking brutal kills. Like brutal and fun and like, so each one is you. You actually highlighted this and kind of brought it to my attention.
01;29;47;13 - 01;30;06;19
Even more is that if you actually pay close attention, there are so many specific little details that are added that it's like, truly blink and you'll miss it. Or just like kind of off to the side and it's these great kills. They're not wasting anything in this movie. Totally. Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, you know, I that's that's great.
01;30;06;25 - 01;30;28;06
I keep it five bonus points, for their architecture skills because of it. Well, there you go. That is for me, your number one. I give one extra point for, Salma Hayek. Iconic dance. Oh, yeah. Okay. Awesome. Okay. Yep. And that will bring them up to. Yeah. Yeah, I just don't. They're fine. I don't like the way that Salma Hayek looks at all when she turns into a vampire.
01;30;28;06 - 01;30;47;26
I actually really hate it. So. Snake. Vampire. Yeah, that's fair, because honestly, I like it when vampires are shot and, she was like, one of my bisexual awakenings, so, I mean, she's. Wait, you like it when the vampires are hot? Yeah. Okay. Because, I mean, she's hot before she turns into this. That's what I mean. And then they took that away from her when she was a vampire.
01;30;47;26 - 01;31;11;13
Gotcha. I don't I'm not into it. I was here for Danny Trejo, and and the shoulders outside, the big shoulders. Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's number six empires. All right, we're on the dude. I'm so like. I'm so surprised. But also so ecstatic that one of my monsters is still in the in the. They've got a fighting chance.
01;31;11;18 - 01;31;32;17
There's one that I'm very surprised. I'm right. I have a feeling that we're all talking about the same one. Know I'm happy about it too. But yeah, I'll tell you why. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Okay, so we are leaving the US-Mexico border, but we're leaving Mexico. We were we were in Mexico. Oh. That's true. Okay, we're leaving Mexico.
01;31;32;17 - 01;32;08;01
Let's see where we're heading. Oh, there's second time to Mexico on this, right? Yeah. It's true a third C third over the world here. What's the three time the ruins. Ruins just to go and then, Kronos. Kronos. Yeah. I got oh, oh. Whoa. Top five, number six. No. Number six. No, no, but but he's I actually made it up like, number six is death from a final destination, which, you know, this thing should be number one.
01;32;08;04 - 01;32;27;03
Yeah. Let's see. I'm very curious to see how he ranked it and why that should be number one. Did he say it from Final Destination? Yes. Yeah. Okay, let's see what we got here. Okay. It's in all of us in the top tens. Yeah. Casey. Number five. Danny seven. And, I ranked it at number ten.
01;32;27;06 - 01;32;51;07
Okay. Yeah. It's terrifying. Unstoppable kills are great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, effectiveness, I think is what pushes it up. It's it's I put really scary and literally unstoppable. But design I actually didn't give it a one. I gave it a two because I do kind of like the little ripple shadow effect. It's subtle. Oh yeah.
01;32;51;07 - 01;33;10;24
Effective. So I was like, I'll give you something for that, you know, and this kind of I did an extra bonus point for Tony Todd, which I think also I was gonna, I was going to pull him into, look, but because it's not ever confirmed, I was like, let's vote, let's do the votes. Separate. Yeah. And intro.
01;33;10;27 - 01;33;35;17
Unforgettable. I think it might be on this list. It's probably aside from one other thing that we haven't met yet. It's probably one of the most, with you iconic, I would argue, one of the most iconic opening. Yeah. Ever. And then kills. I have fucking brutal like, especially the shower scene. Like, that's the one that just pops, right?
01;33;35;17 - 01;33;56;22
Yeah. Oh, God hurts. I'm like, oh, God. It's just. And then miss, Luton. Oh. In the head. They just torture her. Yeah. One of the next. Yeah, yeah. I have imaginative for kills, but probably should have done fucking brutal because you mentioned that shower scene and he's like his eye. Well I was like eyeball. It's like just like blood shot like instantly like oh yeah.
01;33;56;29 - 01;34;14;20
Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. And he's I hate it. Death you dirty dog coming in at number six. Dirty. That's funny I did get he lost one point. He that was one point for scariness I was going to have it out of five. I put it to four because I was like, you know what?
01;34;14;22 - 01;34;36;19
I need to learn how to embrace that. This is an inevitability, you know? Yeah, it's scary. But also, you're getting older, having birthdays, I mean, terrified. Yeah. Yeah. But this isn't even this isn't even just death. They're. This is about trying to escape death. That's true. Not so. Yeah, it's vengeful death. Yeah, yeah. It's death. Who went to art school, and it's very creative.
01;34;36;22 - 01;34;52;03
Who's going to be number four? Oh my God. Wow. We are in our top. Okay, this is a moment. We're in our top five. Yes, Danny, let's run down. Let's go do it from ten, 10 to 5 real quick. Let's do. Okay. Let's do the same system as last time thing. Okay, great. Can't wait. Number ten John.
01;34;52;08 - 01;35;16;14
Thanksgiving number nine, demonic force. The beyond. Number eight. Control the. I saw the devil. The I saw the number seven vampires from dusk till dawn. And number six. Number six, death from final destination. Okay. Number five. Okay. You think you know that's the. The plane that we've been flying on is flight 180, and this is the final destination.
01;35;16;14 - 01;35;42;11
And yet we have five more stops. So thanks. Interesting for, not being too bitter about this. Yeah. And for not you were exploded and now you've. We were rebuilt as we were able to ride you. Oh, yeah. We were like, that's for you. 25. Yeah. All right. You guys ready for our top five? I'm nervous, I think I know what this is before we get on the road.
01;35;42;14 - 01;36;04;29
I'm so scared. I am kind of in shock. Yeah, about, about sex. I'm, like, shocked, but it's something I'm not. Yeah. There he he made the top five. PJ that's that five. This is good talking about, right. Yes. Big Daddy Mars ghost love. Oh, yeah. Big daddy Mars, ghost of guys. You gotta love them. Oh, I always say now I'm like, I wish I just put him in number one.
01;36;04;29 - 01;36;26;04
I just he's just so. Well, let's see the ranks. Yeah I'm interested to see here. Let's see where do we put him. Wow. Okay. Oh. So okay, here's the thing. So you, sack number one was. Wait, what did you have? I, I had vampires from from dusk vampires and Big Daddy Mars, don't you? I love it so much.
01;36;26;07 - 01;36;50;14
So really quickly. Zach. Yeah. If we were just ranking these like we did last year with your number one, and number two have been same. I mean, probably because I think, like, I think when you're going through the rankings, like you're still kind of it's still flavored by our. Yeah I know it's it's just still kind of surprising.
01;36;50;14 - 01;37;06;09
Yeah. Yeah it would do interesting to see if I had this structure. Yeah. If it would be. But I mean next year what if we do. We'll do a list. We'll do better. We'll do this and then we can go back, be like, what would you have had it? I definitely I definitely would have been in my top five.
01;37;06;12 - 01;37;26;13
I don't know if they would have gone to, but I had number 11 because I don't it. Well, obviously it wasn't middle of the road. He was almost made my top ten. But I gave him five points because I wanted him to be higher on my list. Okay. So okay. Like, you know, by following the rubric, he was not as high as I wanted him to be.
01;37;26;14 - 01;37;45;05
Yeah. Why was I so stingy with my bone at my personal bonus point? I know this should have, I. Should I give it one? I should have given it five. Because this I feel like this gave everybody that I love. So iconic. Yeah, that's I wish I did. I just gave it a point because an extra point I said the Crimson Wind alone makes this movie legendary.
01;37;45;10 - 01;38;05;27
And he's right. It was it was just so much fun. And I don't remember a lot about this movie, but I remember that I fucking loved it and we had a lot of fun. And Big Daddy Mars is hilarious. So yeah, I agree, scariness fucking terrifying. I remember like, I think I did pretty scary. I think we talked about this.
01;38;05;27 - 01;38;26;22
I was like, this is the first time in like when I was a kid watching in a movie, putting myself in, like, the protagonist's shoes and like, being on the mountain and seeing him just, like, create this army and just be like, oh, la la la la la. Yeah. Like they're coming for me. Oh my God. Like, terrifying.
01;38;26;24 - 01;38;45;29
Literally unstoppable. The crimson wind. You can't. It's wind. Right. And it's crunching. You can't stop it. So you did I why did I do? I did nearly unstoppable. Because I think because it's him, I didn't nearly die. Okay, so like the the you can never kill the Crimson wind, but you can kill Big Daddy Mars.
01;38;46;01 - 01;39;14;21
That's true. Badass. Look, some interesting lore. Unforgettable intro. Because you see them interesting. Laura, I'm sorry. We have to talk about this. And you two, I put legendary, okay? That whole backstory of the Crimson Wind and just that whole story of it being, like, unearthed and the spirits coming out and the fact that they're on see others that damn Big Daddy might should have been my number one.
01;39;14;23 - 01;39;35;03
Yeah, I think so. I should have been mine. Number one, I fucked up, well, I didn't remember the lore, so I gave him. That's probably why Big Daddy Me was intro, which I don't see him. Yeah, exact. It's very forgettable. Well, he didn't remember. I think it's Jason Statham. Just kind of comes over the hill and you just kind of see them all.
01;39;35;03 - 01;39;52;00
So this is what I was telling you about. Fucking terrifying the first time you see it. Yeah. He looks and he's like scary but not he's like controlling a whole army speaking fucking gibberish. But he's yelling it. Oh, with with everything. He's meeting it with your kid. You remembered it when you were a kid because you were scared.
01;39;52;01 - 01;40;09;10
That's true. Yeah, I didn't, I didn't remember watching it for the first time as a 35 year old. Like, to be honest, not to get so, like, picky about, like, creative choices. But this is where I would have loved to have seen a little bit of a, a slower burn and a build up, like maybe get some close ups of like.
01;40;09;13 - 01;40;32;23
And what he's like, ripping the heads out in the spine or whatever. Like it kind of he's this far away shot and it just it kind of gets lost. And then little by little throughout the movie, you're like, oh, he's the leader. Okay. Got it. Okay. We're oh, that's it's not. Yeah. It's it's but I, I mean it starts with a wide shot, but then it goes in close ups of him screaming and Andrew Riley just fucking away.
01;40;32;25 - 01;40;54;11
But this is the choices that can I imagine if like I'm trying to think of like an iconic guy I don't know. Imagine if I'm trying to think of like an iconic, I don't know, like Bates Motel or Psycho like, imagine if we had just seen, oh, I kind of want to spoil it. The killer. Like walking up to the shower.
01;40;54;18 - 01;41;13;12
You don't want to spoil psycho. You so, like. Oh, to be honest, in college, I saw it with. I was watching with, a friend of mine and his girlfriend, and they had never seen it, and I was watching them watch it, and they were. But I minds were shattered a ton of years ago like this. Oh, God, don't say that.
01;41;13;12 - 01;41;30;26
That's crazy. But I did give Big Daddy Mars four bonus points for inventing a new language. That's good. Yeah, I like it. Okay, big Daddy Mars, I'm so happy you made the top five. This is. I am happy about it, too, because, like I said, I wanted him to be higher. That's why I gave him the bonus.
01;41;31;01 - 01;41;51;16
Awesome. All right. Let's. So, flight 180, we had to make a few, adjustments. We did tinker it a little bit to make it space travel friendly all the way to Mars. But it was. But now we're taking the hot air balloon. Yeah, yeah. What is this? This is your jet to vacation or what? It's. It's got our two holiday to jet to holiday.
01;41;51;18 - 01;42;13;10
Yeah, we're taking the hot air balloon. I fucking like scientists. Oxygen masks definitely drop down on US flight. Yeah. Our, flight route 80 also becomes like, a a hot air balloon. Yeah, it has a little balloon at the top of it. Oh, God, I love I want to rewatch that. I just want to. I just want to make a movie about that backstory.
01;42;13;13 - 01;42;33;09
Why do you why don't you rewatch it again to see how many close ups are in the intro? Yeah, I probably do anyway. And then we'll, and then we'll come back and we'll record this over again. Yeah. We'll do all this. We had four years to do this. Fuck. All right, number four. Here we go. We're. Oh my God, I don't even remember Jason Voorhees.
01;42;33;13 - 01;42;53;14
Friday the 13th. You just see him. Hi. Specifically Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, the final chapter. Yes, yes. There is a distinction I do. I have to say I love seeing the guy's name on the list. But I didn't rank him as high as I thought I would, so I'm okay. Usually. Like, not. It's not like I was fighting for this.
01;42;53;14 - 01;43;16;01
Yeah. Wow. Okay. You put him higher than I did. Yeah. Number three for me. Number four for Danny and number nine for Casey. Damn. Okay. Okay. I mean he's Jason, like, you know. Yeah. Not very scary. Yeah, but he's he's just Jason. Yeah. Yeah. It's like it's tough. Exactly. Casey. Like, when you're in a franchise with 12 movies, it's like, okay.
01;43;16;01 - 01;43;37;20
Also, not even diminishing returns. Just kind of like familiarity, kind of. Yeah, go against it. And as I stated, in a text the other day, he is the dumbest slasher that exists in this one, which you well, remind me because the ending. So I started part three the other day and realized they show the end to part two.
01;43;37;20 - 01;44;00;19
You know how they will show that end or two and how he, like, thinks that the woman is his mom? Yeah, yeah. So he's like, oh, you know, good God, you need a hug more than anything. He's very confused all the time. Yeah, yeah. What put him hi for me is the design is iconic. I think it's of course it's Jason Voorhees.
01;44;00;21 - 01;44;22;00
The lore is legendary for me. It's the fact, like, with his mother and him drowning, though in this is. But. But it's. They do remind you like his his backstory. Yeah. With all the newspaper clippings and all this, you know. That's right. That's right. Yeah. Like it's fucking for my bad. Yeah. That's okay. And then I give him five bonus points because it's just.
01;44;22;02 - 01;44;45;14
But like kills imaginative. Nothing crazy. Oh. Intro. Pretty memorable. Yeah. It's the hospital scene. I actually made it up a little higher. Now they think about it. Oh, I see, that's where I scare them. That's where I scored them. Low. Yeah. For intro. Yeah. Because it was like. It's just like if we made a joke that like, his intro is him getting wheeled into the morgue.
01;44;45;16 - 01;45;05;08
Yeah. And it's not like you think of Jason at a camp. And not that he has to be there, but the fact that he's not at a, you know. Krystal. Yeah. It's just, you know. Sure. Well, yeah, I put unforgettable, but I don't know, maybe it's because of the dancing. Oh, yeah. I mean, it is honestly, like, that's a great sequence with Axel and,
01;45;05;11 - 01;45;24;10
Oh, that. See, with this fucking aerobics video he was watching. Yeah, yeah, but, but I was thinking, Crispin Glover, and I was confused, but I. Oh, but no, I didn't forget that party. We should do a separate bonus ranking. Or it's just like the best dances in the movies that we've covered. Yeah, yeah. We should. It's a good idea.
01;45;24;12 - 01;45;45;01
I'll do. Okay. Yeah. Not surprising that he's in the top five. No surprise. Surprising that he's not number one. Maybe I'm trying to think of what because I do. This is in my top three of Jason movies. I love it. I'm trying to think of another version of Jason that maybe would go higher. I don't know, like maybe six.
01;45;45;03 - 01;46;09;22
Why not eight? Seven, is fine. And eight. Oh, I'd probably put seven as like my favorite. Jason. I love when he takes off his mask in part seven, the new blood. Same. And it's funny. I hate when he takes it off an eight. That's. Yeah, that's true. It's pretty rare that. But I love his outfit in, part three.
01;46;09;25 - 01;46;31;23
I love the simple. He has, like, the green jacket. He gets the mask. It's just, like, simple. It's clean. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm sure we'll do seven. We'll do it. All right, so this triple feature at some point. Oh, Mary, that was good. Right. Of the 13 seven. And, Firestarter I don't know. Number three.
01;46;31;26 - 01;46;45;12
It is sad to leave camp Crystal Lake. You guys, I've been wanting to come here since I was a kid. We're finally here, and we're already on the road. Oh, my God, I know our three monsters. I don't know where they're going to be. I love them, I know, I love that we took a plane to camp Crystal Lake.
01;46;45;18 - 01;47;06;06
We have not opted out of that. We've taken rafts and cars, but like, they're like, no, we're. Well, we were taken as we came from. We came from a hot air balloon floated down to Crystal Lake. We literally look like aliens, like coming down from space. Literally. We came from Mars. We should also point out, Big Daddy Mars did follow us.
01;47;06;08 - 01;47;23;26
So he's going to be with us for trip, right? The crimson wind, the crimson wind followed us there. Number three. Number three. Guys, this is where. What is it going to be? Oh, my God, this is Jack. I need a little suspense because I was. I love that this is our top three because this is my top three.
01;47;24;02 - 01;47;47;28
Okay? Okay. And not mine. This. It's very weird, actually, that this is like is very close. So it's not. Yeah. Okay. So far and I alternated these over and over again. Oh really. And I could not settle. So let's see you guys. You ready. Yep. Number three. Here we go. The T-800 the Terminator. Wow okay. Sorry I ruined this one for you guys.
01;47;48;02 - 01;48;10;20
Did you. Let's see what we got. It's not it's not low. Yeah, but I think this is it because you know. Oh I had it at number. Oh, okay. Exact same. That's me and Casey both ranked the T-800 at number six. Then he put them at number two. But he did make our top three. So, yeah, I mean, specifically the first Terminator movie.
01;48;10;20 - 01;48;39;15
The original. Yeah. Terminator. Right. And to be fair, was not a huge fan of it. Okay. So there were things that I did not remember. I specifically do remember that I fell asleep three times trying to watch this. Oh, no. So, so he had mostly five, though. Really scary. Literally unstoppable design as iconic. I put some interesting lore.
01;48;39;15 - 01;48;56;29
I don't know if that's true or not. I played the legendary. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So I don't so I don't remember, intro. I put not bad because I know that you guys, it took me a while to remember it. Well, and see, that's the thing I did. Unforgettable. That's where you're coming in with electricity and the.
01;48;56;29 - 01;49;26;20
Oh, and he's naked. You get to see this beautiful. But you know his button. You do see his his his dangly side, his robo schlong, his robo schlong. And see this is where a little bit of subjectivity came in, for me, because if we were doing Terminator two, I, I personally would have given him iconic intro. I only gave him a memorable for this one because although it is the first time we see it personally, for me, I always remember the intro in part two a little bit.
01;49;26;21 - 01;49;50;09
I watched part two. Yeah. So that's where maybe actually, you know why I put it here? Because I also grew up more watching part two. So this one, like, feels fresher. Okay, I don't know. Sure. Yeah. Then I give it an extra five points for bonus because I just love it. Okay. Yeah, yeah. The only thing I like, the only reason I donate or the, the lowest score I gave him was a three for kills.
01;49;50;11 - 01;50;11;03
I just gave him solid kills because, yeah, he just he shoots people and, Okay, that was me too. And he's kind of, like, takes his time a little too much. There's too much of a dramatic pause. It's like, do should terminate. Like you're supposed to like that's all you have to say. But always gets a true just terminate.
01;50;11;05 - 01;50;29;20
But yeah, I almost had one. And it was those reasons why he did. Okay. He does scare me, though, because I am legitimately afraid of robots and yeah, yeah, I yeah. So yeah, it's not very, relevant these days to be to have this at such a high number. Dude, what a top five we have. This is.
01;50;29;20 - 01;50;53;09
I know it's a good one. Wonderful. I know we're about to reveal our top two, and I just love that these next two are going basically head to head fighting for the number one spot because they're like, they're totally different, but they're also very similar. Yes. Yeah. I mean it's so indie vibes are very different. Yeah. But so let's have the yeah, let's reveal our number two.
01;50;53;11 - 01;51;24;03
Who didn't make the who didn't make the number. Who's the fucking loser of the. No. Don't you dare. Who lost this? Don't you dare. Oh my God. Okay. Oh my god. Carnivorous dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. Our number two, monster for this 2025 monster ranking. Let's see where we all ranked them. On our no list.
01;51;24;05 - 01;51;47;01
Okay, so you and I are on the same page. Danny. Casey. Yeah, both ranked it the these dinosaurs at number three. I ranked them at number five. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's from a movie that is, you know, might be the might be the least horror movie ish on our list. Comes to our best monsters. Oh, yeah.
01;51;47;01 - 01;52;12;04
They're horror. I gave it five for kills, five for intro, five for design. Where it kind of lost points was effectiveness. You know, they're obviously effective, but there wasn't really, you know, they get thwarted pretty easily. Not that's not fair. Not pretty easily. But like the the humans escape kind of like that, you know, by the end there's no real.
01;52;12;06 - 01;52;31;16
Yeah. It's sort of I don't know, for effectiveness. Yeah. Just pretty I is pretty middle of the road. It's not bad like they do. I put, I put nearly unstoppable. I mean there's so many of them and they all you know, maybe I was a little too. Yeah. My luck. My lowest score for them was, two in kills.
01;52;31;19 - 01;52;51;13
Just because they're like, what they just doing what they do, they just eat nedry. Yeah, but it's still the coolest on the face. And. Yeah, it's true. And then the creatures are being told they've got the whole, like, clever girl scene. Yeah, but they're not being like, you know, like what is number or number four option for that is imaginative.
01;52;51;18 - 01;53;09;27
They're not being imaginative. They're just hunting. They're just doing what they I mean, I guess you could be imaginative, but they're like they're just doing what they normally would do. The guy a toilet, they're still really good. Like, don't get me wrong, I love it, but just objectively speaking, I was saying like, okay, you put them at all interesting.
01;53;10;03 - 01;53;33;04
No no no no, it's interesting, I think give them a bonus point, for having to deal with people because they didn't ask to be brought back like shrew. You're right. They were just like, fuck, we had it. I just do this because I love this movie. That's funny. Still my top five carnivorous dinosaurs. Yeah, cool. So that means that means there's only one left to do.
01;53;33;08 - 01;53;56;12
Number one. And interesting. I won't spoil what it is, but it is a monster that we met in the same triple feature. Yeah. Oh that's true. Yeah. So that's fun. One of the ones that our triple feature of this one was one of our lost. The crates. The crates. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they have pork crates. We really fucked them with that one.
01;53;56;12 - 01;54;16;29
It's like. Yeah. Oh, no, I would I will spoil it. All right. Are we ready? Number one Cody said that there's a he added a little more color and flavor to this. Oh okay. Oh good I'm excited. Let's see. Are we ready. Oh we're ready. Number was oh we know who they are. Yeah. So we're flying off or flying off island.
01;54;17;01 - 01;54;41;19
The island how thing. Yeah. Perfect to to end 1010 1010 1010. And we're just going to keep flying and fly, right. We're just gonna keep going and flying. Yeah we did. We run up. When you think about the directions we took, it's a little, Yeah. We could have done a little bit more strategic. We're on travel. We're on flight 180.
01;54;41;21 - 01;55;10;04
Yeah, we've just still our number. Oh, yeah. Still number plate when 80 took us everywhere. And we just found out that life finds a way and 180 has to do with death. And. Oh my God, in poetry, you guys, like friends of the cast is just unparalleled. All right, number one, read it. 003210. Yeah. Zero more. I'm so pleased with the animation reveal.
01;55;10;05 - 01;55;35;14
Bamba bam bam bam. Xenomorphs from aliens. Specifically from aliens like, yes, yes. Why? It's there's so number one DC and rank one. No. And they're number one spots. I put them at number seven. Wow. This was the only monster that I had. Incredibly strong feelings about. Okay. Yeah, I feel like you could probably do that. Yeah, yeah.
01;55;35;15 - 01;55;58;00
But, yeah, every time I kept trying to move things around, I was like. Because I had, T-800 carnivorous dinosaurs and, xenomorphs, all with the same score. It just so happened to be that way. So, like, Mark, I was like, how do I do this? And these guys are just brutal. And their looks are truly, genuinely so iconic.
01;55;58;00 - 01;56;22;18
Everything about the even the lore in this one is more middle of the road. I have it at a three because we don't really, you know, this isn't a Prometheus, but intro, unforgettable design, iconic scariness, fucking terrifying effectiveness. I did nearly unstoppable for the final act of the movie when they're near the Queen, they kind of are a little bit more reserved.
01;56;22;21 - 01;56;42;20
So they're not quite the, you know, vicious. Like, yeah, you don't kind of play by any rules. Monsters. And obviously they're defeated by human. Kills. I actually, for some reason only gave a three for solid. Oh, why I did fucking brutal, I think. Yeah, I don't know why, but I did give it a five bonus points. Yeah.
01;56;42;20 - 01;57;06;04
Yes. Yeah. I kind of look nearly unstoppable. Fucking terrifying. Yeah. You do get with the lower. You do get a little bit from Ripley at the beginning when she's like in her. Yeah. In that like board meeting and they're like what happened. What happened here. What's going on that they do get their name in this the military, the captain or whatever he does call them xenomorphs.
01;57;06;06 - 01;57;24;29
So just, advice for future monsters if you want to give you a little higher on the list, pray to God. Someone calls it, you know, gives it your name in that movie. Yeah. That's gonna have a big impact. Yeah. That's iconic. If someone would have said Bartowski. Yeah. You get shot right up to the stars, buddy.
01;57;25;02 - 01;57;49;29
Yeah. Which he did. And, leopard got in space. In space? Yeah, yeah. So maybe maybe next. Maybe this, upcoming freak school year. We'll do leprechaun in Space. Yeah, we'll have to do a xenomorph. Maybe Dana masters. So one of my favorite monsters. So. Yeah. Yeah, they're just. Yeah. Just classic. I mean, I don't know much say about an H.R. Giger.
01;57;50;02 - 01;58;11;01
This film is directed by James Cameron, based on a movie by Ridley Scott. I mean, it's. Yes. And Winston in the movie, Stan Wilson, who worked on both of our two monsters. Top three posters. Oh, my God, we love. This is the year of Stan. This is why. Oh, and we stand. Stand! Oh my God. Oh, yeah.
01;58;11;03 - 01;58;30;07
Oh, I need to watch that. We did our watch along for that, right? A little while ago. I was like, why do you feel like I watch that recently? Guys, I'm really happy with this. Yeah. Almost is. Me too. Like, it's that fine line of like, it's so expected that you want there to be a surprise, but you'd be upset if there was.
01;58;30;07 - 01;58;49;07
And this was a number one. Well, I think I think well, I had different thoughts. Oh yeah. I was like, no, I totally get it. Pleasantly surprised that Big Daddy Myers made the top five. Me too was your number one, I don't remember. Fuck you. You do remember. Oh, no. I was being serious. Okay. Yeah. The vampires from From Dusk Till Dawn.
01;58;49;09 - 01;59;10;24
Yeah. Should we take a look at where we have it? Okay. Button here that says view full rankings. Oh, yeah. Oh, look at this. Wow, dude. There's Cody. Cody continues to surprise. Very cool. Zach, do you want to give us a rundown? Oh, let's just do our top ten. I don't want to. I can say all these monsters again.
01;59;10;26 - 01;59;37;04
All right, top ten, John Carver, number ten. Yeah, I'll say I'll say number ten. You say Casey, you say the monster. Zack, you say the movie. Okay, this is this is important stuff, okay? Yeah. Number ten, John Carver, Thanksgiving. Sorry, I can't see it on my screen, so, Oh. See, you didn't know. It just took me a second to think what I was supposed to do.
01;59;37;06 - 02;00;06;10
Number nine, demonic force beyond number eight. Killing tool. I saw the devil. I almost said the. I saw the devil again. What are the in this title? Yeah. So bad. Number seven. Vampire from dusk till dawn. Number six. Death. Final destination number five pretty much goes, y'all. Y'all. I'm just following your guys's energy. Like Danny sets the tone.
02;00;06;10 - 02;00;48;08
The Casey files number four, Jason Voorhees is Friday the 13th, part four, the final chapter six noodles. Trace. Uno. Dos. Yeah. Twix TI 800. Because I don't know how to say. Well, I'm just going to say The Terminator because, I have about. That's number two in dinosaur. Carnivorous dinosaurs. Oh, I sure did. Oh. And, and we, I was that's number two.
02;00;48;11 - 02;01;14;09
Carnivorous dinosaurs. I'm I'm I'm Jurassic park, Jurassic park. Okay. David, I don't know. Oh, by the way, I should say our number one. I have a little xenomorph. Oh, I should bring my. Here's the only relevant ones I had where some vampire toys and, as you know, morph. Damn. I got a few xenomorphs.
02;01;14;09 - 02;01;40;14
I should have brought them in. I got nothing I can't do a good. I'm trying to think Ripley doesn't have, So. Bill Paxton. Yeah. The number one Dreamworks, man. Aliens. That was terrible. That was so good. Aliens. Okay. And then Cody said he added a little thing. This is fun. Facts at the end. Oh, I don't know what this means.
02;01;40;17 - 02;02;04;04
Let's find out. Find out together. Let's see if he's being the closest ranking. Danny's personal. This was the most aligned with the final definitive master ranking. Seems a little fishy. Always get this. Put this together. I know, hosts alignment. Casey and Danny had the most similar tastes, while Casey and Zack had the most different. That sounds weird.
02;02;04;07 - 02;02;27;17
Yeah, no, I'm usually middle on the road. You would think Danny and Casey would be most different. Yeah, well, because usually we are opposites, Danny and I. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Fun fact universal top five. The dinosaurs of Jurassic Park were the only monsters to land in everyone's top. Oh, wow. Awesome. Fascinating. These are really, really good. Do we need to give Cody arrays for this or doing this?
02;02;27;17 - 02;02;52;26
Yeah, maybe we'll start paying him. That'll be his raise. Final fun fact biggest disagreement Satan from End of Days caused the biggest split with an 18 rank gap between Zach number four and Danny number 22. That's funny. That's cute I love it. Which is. Yeah, it's almost like it's kind of like last year, you know, we had a, a disagreement with Sutter Kane.
02;02;52;28 - 02;03;22;04
And yes, there looks are kind of similar, like suave K. Yeah. You like this dude's. You love your sexy claim. Boy, Carey has such a thing for them.
