John Dies at the End
01:03:06
About
It’s Adam’s birthday choice, so he’s wheeled out what he feels is an under appreciated blast of weirdness: Don Coscarelli’s “John Dies At The End”, adapted from the book by David Wong. A film in which Baron Afanas discusses penises a great deal; Mr Krabs has a Vegas residency; and the teacher from “Gremlins” isn’t taking this shit anymore. Will John die at the end? Will Lee’s opinion of the film change on a second viewing? Will Chris agree with Lee, or be right? Will Adam’s son have a sleepless night and necessitate a big chunk being edited out near the end? Listen and find out! Along the way we discuss “Masque of the Red Death”, “The Book of Boba Fett” and more selections from the series “Masters of Horror”. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND/SPEECH QUALITY ISSUES - THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED REMOTELY, AND ACROSS SEVERAL FRACTURED TIMELINES.

Lee Good evening, and welcome to horror. I'm Lee.
Chris I'm Chris.
Adam I'm Adam.
Lee And da da da da da da. It's a birthday. We're here for Adam's birthday choice.
Chris Happy birthday.
Adam Thank you. Thank you, everyone.
Adam It's one year older and apparently no wiser.
Lee That's a recurring birthday theme for all of us, I think.
Adam Yeah.
Lee so for those of you who don't normally listen, we will be spoiling the things that we cover, and we will be swearing.
Lee So, if you're easily offended, now is the time to get on your fucking.
Chris Bog off.
Lee Yeah.
Lee so in our usual format, we'll start Chris, have you watched anything horror related in the last two weeks?
Chris It's not horror related, but I'm going to get away with it because it's Star Wars.
Chris So we went back to watching Book of Boba Fett last two weeks after stopping because the first couple didn't quite grab our attention.
Chris But, I think we heard from someone that said, look, episode six, it gets a lot better. Should stick with it.
Chris So it's like, all right, we'll go back, put in the effort.
Chris And like, there's definitely there's bits about it that I really like.
Chris but I don't know what it was, overall, it just didn't quite have the same excitement as Mandalorian, but it definitely is getting better.
Chris so I did really enjoy episode five and six.
Chris I thought we were starting to get a lot more interesting.
Chris And I won't spoil it.
Chris Because we shouldn't spoil this, I guess.
Chris I'm assuming neither of you have seen it.
Lee I have.
Adam I have.
Chris You haven't had it yet.
Chris Oh, okay.
Adam I, I mean, I know that it's getting a lot of hate.
Chris Is it? Yeah, so I haven't read anything online about it.
Adam
Chris yeah, we just heard from someone that was watching it.
Adam Yeah, because yeah, what's been said that.
Lee I think.
Adam I think well, I just think a lot of people, I mean, to be honest, I mean we'll, we'll, we'll cover it on Mos Eisley,
Adam on, on an episode of Mos Eisley Happy Hour, which will be resurrected.
Chris Is it the, high expectations syndrome?
Adam I think it is. I think it's everyone really loved the Mandalorian.
Chris Yeah.
Adam But also because it's Boba Fett.
Chris Yeah. That is quite a, a risk.
Adam Well, I think in a weird way, much as we kind of said about watching it all in order, you kind of Darth Vader loses his impact because you know more about it.
Chris Yeah.
