The Podcast on Haunted Hill

The podcast on Haunted Hill will contain spoilers and swearing.

I am the devil, and I am here to do the devil's work.

I saw this when I come.

And be one of us.

Hello, and welcome to the podcast on Haunted Hill, episode 175.

A minute ago, I gave Dan a totally wrong number, and he went along with it, and then went, no!

Jesus.

Just before we started.

Welcome.

If it's your first time, welcome back.

If it's the...

Hang on a minute.

If it's your first time, welcome front.

That's it.

If it's...

If you're a regular listener.

Welcome back.

And if you like to pop along now and again, pop him around the side.

I have to write it down.

My brain just goes, no, we're going to put these words in different orders, and you're just going to say it.

And I'm just going to smile at you while you do it.

Every episode.

And every audience could be like, why don't you just get a little fucking...

Do a little catchphrase, can I?

A little thing, jingle, I could put into it.

Welcome, everyone, to episode 175 of the podcast on Haunted Hill.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to you.

It's my birthday.

You.

It is my birthday episode.

Exciting.

Very excited to discuss the two films I've picked, but also very excited to just be happy and birthday boy.

I'm the birthday boy.

And Dan, and Dan dropped me something earlier, which I was shocked with.

And I think it's a problem with Facebook.

Dan did not get one birthday message from anyone like on this page, like the comments, not one person.

And I'm like, that has to be a problem with Facebook.

That has to be.

I think.

So one of you out there, did you do it?

And if you didn't, that's fine.

But like, I'm sure people did.

I just find it so weird to not one person, not even a random person.

Do you know what I mean?

Because you get people just, oh, happy birthday.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's fine.

It's so weird.

What was weird was not even on my Facebook page, Dan Bone, you know.

But my wife thinks it's something to do with the decline of the use of Facebook or something.

Not many people use it.

I don't really use it other than for the podcast that much.

I didn't do it because I sent it to you in person, not in person, but on WhatsApp.

So more personal.

I prefer to do it more personal.

I'm really not that bothered about it.

The only reason I mention it is because 17 years of using Facebook on that old.

It's the first time really, but it's not bothered.

I had all my WhatsApp messages, text messages from my dad, of course.

Text messages, you know.

That's more personal anyway.

I've had all my cards with, you know, money in and whatever.

Less is more.

I got, for my birthday, I got lots of chocolate.

I got some 0% rum, which I'll be indulging in later on.

I got some, a big stack of tattoo vouchers.

I'm going to get a tattoo, Butterfly Memorial for my mum.

Just to finish off my sleeve.

What else did I get?

Oh, I got, really generous for my in-laws.

I got a lovely cinema voucher, which will probably last me at least a year to 18 months.

So that's decent as well.

Depending if Holly would actually bring anything good out.

Yeah.

Well, there's always going to be a couple of Marvel films for me to sneak along to.

And there's a couple of things coming up I want to see.

I could segue into what I saw the other day.

I actually went to the cinema, went to my son, and I watched a Minecraft movie.

I know this is a horror podcast.

I really enjoyed it, though, to be honest with you.

Fingmejiggy, what's he called?

Jason Momoa or Jack Black?

Yes, Jason Momoa.

He is channeling, without the voice though, he's channeling Macho Man Randy Savage.

Ooh, brother!

Without the voice, though.

But he's got exactly like the way he is, his pink leather jacket tassels and the glasses.

But he's an idiot, though.

He thinks he's like real cool and he's an idiot.

And he's a failed 1989 champion of an arcade game.

I really like Jason Momoa.

It's really fun, though.

I like Jason Momoa.

He played it really fun.

But it's getting a lot of slack at the moment, that movie, because children in America mainly are spitting and throwing their popcorn at certain times in the film.

It's a cool thing, because we were there and there was somebody said something, and then they all just clapped.

It's like an order.

And I was just like, Elijah's clapping.

I was like, this is strange.

This is it.

It's something to do with when certain characters are introduced.

There's things that you have to do, and it's based on stuff in the game, which I've never played my own.

Oh no, is that funny?

Yeah, but so in the UK, I know, and in some American...

They've created a monster.

They're sort of saying, you know, when you go watch this, you have to behave.

You can't just like shout things out or throw things.

That's so funny.

I didn't, it's a different generation.

So I don't know.

Well, I can segue from that because talking of Jason Momoa, I watched on my birthday after a very busy day, because I took the kids to the beach.

It was a beautiful day.

My daughter rode a donkey.

Then she went on the ghost train with me and cried, which is brilliant.

Yeah, we had a really good time.

My son got to meet loads of pretend dinosaurs.

It was a good time.

When we got home and my wife put the kids to bed, I settled down for Fast and Furious 10, otherwise known as Fast X, in which Jason Momoa is the bad guy in that.

Oh, definitely watch it.

He plays a very camp, almost gay.

I'm not sure if he is supposed to be gay, but very camp, but massively hulking bad guy in sort of very pink tassels and his nails are all done and he's got his hair all done with little jewels in it.

So kind of like Minecraft.

But this obviously came out two years before.

How funny.

I know you are going to agree with what I'm about to say, but I have such a fucking hard on for the Fast and Furious movies.

There is something about them that is just so ridiculous.

It was only like two years ago for me, I think it was, wasn't it?

I hadn't seen any of them.

Not one.

You got the box set, didn't you?

And I went, right, that's it.

And I went on this weird autistic thing where I was just like hyper focused on gathering these movies wherever I could at the fastest I could, at cheapest I could.

As fast and as furiously as you can.

It was that was definite.

Fast and Furious, you collect the Fast and Furious movies.

So like Charry Shop here and there.

Oh, that's cheap.

Oh, that one's on Blu-ray.

Nice.

I had a mixture of them.

And I went furthermore.

I got rid of most of them.

I did keep the only one I've kept is Hobbs and Shaw.

Yeah, really good.

That one is.

I remember out of all of them, that was one I really enjoyed.

But I did also, I don't know.

I enjoyed all of them in a way.

There's quite a few.

Even the second one is such a Tokyo Drift.

Such a different film, but actually okay.

It's kind of like your Halloween 3 season of The Witch.

I think the third one is Tokyo Drift.

Oh, okay.

The second one is called Too Fast, Too Furious.

No, it's the third one then.

Yeah, sorry.

Which is like Season Of The Witch.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're fun.

They're fun movies.

I'll check that out though, because it's popcorn action, isn't it?

It's on Netflix in the UK and Vin Diesel has managed to bring everybody back who's dead or alive.

Didn't he have some beef?

Didn't they?

He had some beef with the Rock, but the Rock shows up in it in an after credit scene.

I'm not spoiling it because you can't really spoil these movies really.

But anyone who's been in it, whether it's Gal Gadot, Helen Mirren, Jason Statham, everybody shows up in it.

I think Kurt Russell is the only one that didn't come back.

I thought her name was Gal Gadot.

I think it's pronounced Gal Gadot.

And I was thinking, isn't that the name of the bad person in the Smurfs?

No, that's Gargamel.

Oh, not Gal Gadot.

I thought her name was Gal Gadot.

What a weird name.

That's just me.

And yeah, it's good fun.

And look, I'm not going to spoil it for you.

All I will say is if you want to see Vin Diesel drive a car, down a dam, whilst he's chased by an avalanche of fire, then this is the movie for you.

Yeah.

He's lucky that he managed to be like a star of like a movie, which happened to spawn a massive franchise, isn't it?

Because he doesn't really do that.

Well, there's only one more.

There's going to be one more and that's it.

And then he's like, well, I'm staying fat on that boat.

Because he said, you know, he wanted, he always apparently he always saw 11 movies in the franchise.

It will be 12 if he include Hobson Shaw, because that's like a spinoff.

But he always reminds me of a baked bean.

Yeah.

Or a baked potato even.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But a potato baked potato with a baked bean on its head.

He doesn't try to be anything more than he is.

That's fine.

I'm not.

And he's looking good.

It's 2023, this is now, but he's looking good and muscly, you know.

Yeah.

And I know everyone makes fun of him on that yacht.

There's only one picture.

Come on, everyone's been there.

Yeah, I'm still there, man.

Look at me.

I've got my dad bod going on.

It's fine.

I'm still down.

Jim's down early.

I'm feeling strong.

Yeah.

Well, you're Dwayne Johnson and I'm Vin Diesel on a yacht.

I'd rather be...

somebody commented on that saying, I'd rather be on a yacht without a shirt than with a shirt without a yacht.

Do you know what I mean?

And I agree.

I'd rather be on that yacht without a shirt.

Yeah, but you could also be on a yacht with a shirt.

That's true.

Anyway, moving on.

I haven't really watched much, to be honest with you.

Well, there's only one other thing I wanted to mention.

It's very dark, very deep, and it's on everybody's lips at the moment, especially parents.

But I sat down.

I had insomnia again, Gav, you'll be pleased to hear.

Oh, no.

Did you break it, by the way, on the third day?

I did.

I did.

But I had it again.

But it wasn't so much insomnia.

It was just I got woken up at 2am by one of my kids.

They went back to sleep after five minutes, but I couldn't go back to sleep.

So I got up.

That is a form of insomnia as well.

I got up and I watched all four one-hour episodes of Adolescence.

Have you seen it yet?

No, I know.

For technicality points of view, with the one takes, I need to.

No, I haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, I mean, that is the main reason I wanted to watch it.

I'm also interested in the whole Andrew Tate incel thing.

So it was interested to see a take on that.

Oh, I don't know what it's all about, to be honest with you, really.

Yeah, it's elements of bullying, cyberbullying, Andrew Tate's a penis.

incel stuff.

Do you know what I hate about women haters?

Is that they soon forget that they actually came out of a woman.

Well, actually, they don't, but that's a whole other thing to go into.

Oh, is it?

Yeah.

But anyway, this is technically one of the most incredible things I've seen just to watch.
