PodCaust Episode 73: Get off my lawn

[Abraham Smashington]

What's with these kids today and their bippin' and their boppin' and their hippin' and their hoppin'? We don't get it and we kindly invite you to get off of our fucking lawn. During all of this we discuss the use of CGI vs. practical effects, the fact that adults still talk shit, and just what did ICP mean when they rapped about going chicken hunting?

Now which is which exactly? CGI = Bad? That's confusing.

Oh and Lawnmower Man is a Stephen King adapation in name only. Literally, only the title Lawnmower Man is related to Stephen King. Everything else was from other script the studio had.

[Nathan]

The Who. Nice.

[Abraham Smashington]

CGI = bad if practical was an option for the most part. We love us some old school Bottin makeup fx.

Not an iPod user, don't subscribe to casts (at all) = odd man out.

*sigh*

[Nathan]

Just go to itunes. It will stream even if you're not subscribed to it.

[Abraham Smashington]

I just posted on your profile Barr. That will open up no problem.

[Howard]

Sweet. I'm actually heading home from the office. I'll listen to this at home with no earbuds.

[Ed Hocken]

Oh you calling me out about B-Movies and going through the video store. I myself used to do that, but at the time it was searching for tits. Fast forwarding through tons of shitty 80s comedies and edited soft core porn flics.

But the horror section, I never went down that isle. No way.

[Abraham Smashington]

HAha. How ironic.

[Abraham Smashington]

You know. Because you're gay. You're a gay man. GAY.

[Ed Hocken]

Yeah I got that. Like I said, it's really complicated.

But I do remember those tape boxes that you had to squeeze out. Plus you could see the really old tapes because the tape boxes were huge.

[Captain Russ]

I had the same problems in middle and high school as the Ceej.

Not a juggalo, just a pussy.

Also: CG does not belong in a horror movie. Cleaning up those squibs and bloodcondoms (a Savini mainstay) is part of that industry.

I doubt the cleaning products those companies make would be of much use if they went full on CG gore.

It has it's place in some of the lesser blood taps, but for the really over-the-top stuff, practical will always look the best and get the best reaction.

[Abraham Smashington]

Haha. Just watched Brain Candy the other day. The whole "YOU'RE GAY! I know it, hell even dogs know it!" is still stuck in my head.

[Captain Russ]

I want to invent a pill that gives worms to ex girlfriends...
