0:03
popeye the Slayer Man I am uh you know
0:06
that I love horror Allan only likes
0:09
horror when Mickey Mouse is involved
0:11
apparently Or or Popey or Winnie the
0:14
Pooh I'll see that So yeah So um uh
0:19
Popeye the Slayer Man It's it's you know
0:22
what the title is what the movie is
0:25
There is a it's great There's an old
0:28
abandoned warehouse and with the with on
0:31
the warehouse it says Anchor Bay which
0:34
might be a tribute to the Anchor Bay
0:37
Entertainment Company that put out a lot
0:40
of classic chorus They put out uh 700
0:43
versions of Evil Dead I love Anchor Bay
0:45
but Popeye the Slayer Man is a one of
0:49
those public domain horror films of
0:52
which there's a bunch of those these
0:54
days And uh I I like them when they kind
0:59
of hit the right tone You cannot take
1:01
this movie seriously There's just no way
1:04
to take this movie seriously It's
1:06
directed by Robert Michael Ryan with a
1:09
cast of uh people you've seen pop up pop
1:13
up so to speak in other horror films The
1:19
uh Popeye is we learned uh an ex cop
1:23
Jason Robert Stefins who I met this dude
1:27
okay he's been making indie movies for a
1:29
long time and he is I mean he is built
1:32
like a brick s house okay big guy so the
1:37
only thing I think they added were the
1:39
forearms which are very accurate to the
1:42
design of the original Popeye and what I
1:45
want to So does the movie entertain yes
1:49
From uh the opening scene in the
1:51
warehouse where from the darkness a can
1:54
of opened spinach rolls into frame which
1:58
got a burst of laughter from the
2:00
audience Um there is contaminated
2:06
warehouse This contaminated spinach uh
2:10
has now created the monster that is
2:13
Popey And like a lot of slasher/horror
2:17
films that I think you know like a
2:19
character like Freddy you know in
2:22
Nightmare on Elm Street or other um
2:24
horror icons that are like likable
2:28
because they do good things They they
2:31
take out the bad people And that's why
2:34
Popey the Slayer Man is something of a
2:37
hero He kills He doesn't really know
2:40
what he what he's doing And some of most
2:43
of the time he kills the people who
2:46
really deserve it in in a movie where
2:49
you'll find splattered
2:52
heads broken bones and some really crazy
2:57
dumb deaths that get a burst of laughter
3:00
from the audience So it's in theaters
3:02
and on VOD I'm recommending it I had a
3:05
blast Fun in a theater and I think it's
3:09
worth checking out Again this is also
3:12
leading Allan and I to consider we can
3:15
decide right now there needs to be a
3:18
category at award this of public domain
3:22
slasher movies There's enough
3:25
movies that in fact the Oscars has a
3:28
rule If there are enough musicals you do
3:32
know there's an Oscar for best musical
3:35
If enough musicals are made in a year
3:38
where they've got five that could be
3:40
nominated that the Academy does it If
3:43
there are and I believe there already
3:44
are enough of these public domain horror
3:47
films that will be a category at award
3:49
this But I had a blast and um yes it was
3:53
gory It delivered the gore So I had a
3:56
good time Allan any thoughts you saw the
3:58
trailer earlier I saw the trailer I am
4:00
definitely going to see this Uh do you
4:02
say it's coming out limited release or
4:04
is it coming limited at AMC it's at AMC
4:07
theaters now Like just search the movie
4:09
Okay And I grew up I grew up I grew up
4:12
watching the cartoon and I will say that
4:15
like other characters I don't want to
4:16
say how Olive Oil Sweet Pea may make
4:20
appearances You'll see Um Pluto is not
4:23
in it but Pluto's rights have not come
4:27
out yet They're not public domain yet
4:29
And I believe I think he said Wimpy was
4:31
the same in the same situation as Yeah
4:33
Wimpy Although there is a character
4:35
that's interested in hamburgers
4:39
So there might be a little reference but
4:44
Would he pay you Tuesday for a hamburger
4:46
today he would Yes All right And so far
4:50
I have three public domain slashers that
4:53
would qualify at the moment Popey Slayer
4:55
Man Neverland and IHeart Willie
4:58
So it' be hard to do it Screamboat is
5:02
not out yet That's Mickey Mouse All
5:04
right that's four There you go I believe
5:06
we have Critical Mass I'm recommending
5:09
it if you love horror and you like to
