Endless Feature

We love movies. We love them far too much. We love them so much sometimes we buy them and don’t even get around to watching them. This summer, we plan to remedy that. We grabbed all the movies we own and haven’t seen, randomly selected them through a complicated "lay them on the floor and throw a clothespin" technique. Now we will watch, liveblog, reflect, and record our experience.

4 kids. 97 movies.
1 summer in search of the perfect wave. And by "wave" we mean campy cult film.

Episode #40 - Pieces (1982 - "Mil gritos tiene la noche")

Oscar: “This is one of the movies recommended by horror maestro Eli Roth, for his ideal 24-hour horror movie marathon. I trust everything Eli Roth says, so of course I had to get this.”

Oscar: Hey! (0:00)

Oscar: Yes!
Andy: Wow.
Jackie: This already feels like TV Carnage.
Oscar: Kind of a 70s, John Waters feel so far. (0:01)

Andy: Why does he sound like he’s from New York? We’re in Boston.
Oscar: They do have a Patriots banner there. (0:03)

Andy: I think I had that font. I think it was in Kid Pix. Sounds like The Warriors is starting.
Oscar: I feel like I’m playing Chiller. (0:04)

Oscar: Oh! He did Pod People!
Andy: Oh geez. (0:06)

Andy: Hey, I think I know who the killer is.
Stacey: Well, I don’t know. (0:07)

Oscar: Yes! Yes!
Stacey: Right to the chainsaw!
Jakcie: I love this. So little plot. (0:09)

Oscar: I think that’s one of the same voice actors as Pod People! (0:11)

Andy: I had a Professor Brown in college. (0:12)

Jackie: Do we know what college this is? (0:14)

Jackie: What?
Oscar: They’re like Crept and Mattress!
Jackie: “We’re just getting clothes without labels and trying them on for size”!? (0:15)

Oscar: What do they say about sugar?
Stacey: Rots your teeth. (0:18)

Jakcie: Is she wearing high tops?
Andy: Dude, it’s the 80s.
Jackie: Yeah, and I had high tops. But I was 6. (0:18)

Jackie: Wouldn’t you wait to see who’s coming before you get undressed like that?
Oscar: Not in 80s horror movies. (0:18)

Oscar: Is he going to skim her out of the pool?
Stacey: Nah, he’s going whack her over the head.
Andy: Nah, he’s going to hold her underwater.
Pause
Oscar: Oooh - looks like he’s skimming her! (0:20)

Andy: The Warriors soundtrack just wants to start. Just let it start! (0:22)

Oscar: It’s the Keystone Cops! (0:24)

Oscar: Oh my god! That guy was in Pod People! That’s the, “it stinks!” guy! (0:29)

Jackie: What the fuck?
Oscar:
Are they listening to Devo?
Jackie:
What the fuck?
Oscar:
This sounds like late-period Alice Cooper.
Andy: It sounds like they’re listening to “Funkytown.”
Stacey: Is he going to kill all of these people? (0:30)

Andy: The professional, televised tennis player is an undercover cop?
Jackie: That recognized her face?
Oscar: That’s like having Tiger Woods come teach. (0:35)

Oscar: They’re not even looking the same way!
Jackie: The professional tennis player, as an undercover cop, as a tennis coach. (0:37)

Andy: That Boston Globe reporter is getting a little nosy. Might need to take care of her, too. (0:40)

Andy: Woah. Nice hat.
Oscar: William S. Burroughs looks on. (0:40)

Jackie: This movie has some fast pace.
Andy: I think Lawrence of Arabia felt shorter than this. (0:41)

Stacey: Wow that tiny boombox puts out a lot of sound.
Oscar: It’s a Bose. (0:42)

Jackie: Wait, where is he?
Oscar: Movies like this have trouble with spacial relations.
Stacey: There’s another door.
Jackie: So, where is he? (0:43)

Jakcie: How did she not see the chainsaw?
Stacey: Well, he did have some flowers.
Jackie: Yeah, but it’s a chainsaw. (0:45)

Andy: No-no-no-no-no… ugh. No.
Stacey: So is your scene like that, Oscar?
Oscar: Not quite. (0:49)

Oscar: Is that a Friday the 13th poster on the wall?
Andy: Hey, it’s your room. (0:49)

Jackie: Why is she walking alone at night?
Andy: She’s a cop.
Jackie: I bet she doesn’t have a gun.
Andy: Yeah. She’s a tennis coach. (0:50)

Oscar: What?
Jackie: What?
Andy: What?
Jackie: What the fuck?
Oscar: I hope they never explain that. (0:51)

Andy: Now I kind of wished they never explained that. (0:51)

Stacey: We established a starting problem with the bike.
Oscar: I think it’s more they couldn’t afford to re-take the scene.
Andy: They’re renting that bike by the hour. (0:52)

Andy: So, what part of Boston is this green?
Oscar: It’s the part of Boston that’s in Spain. (0:53)

Stacey: So, is he going to break down that door?
Jackie: Nah he’s too -
Stacey: -stalk-y?
Jackie: I was gonna say classy, but then I thought better.
Oscar: More like they’re recording on someone’s property and can’t break the doors. (0:55)

Oscar: The screenwriter must have been so happy when they wrote that bit. (0:57)

Oscar: I’m not sure if the people who made this movie are from Earth.
Andy: They’re certainly not from Boston. (0:58)

Andy: Oh man, I think we might have a killing scene to a Sousa march. (0:59)

Stacey: I’m surprised they’re letting her get dressed before she dies.
Oscar: They’re not gonna let her put that top on. (1:01)

Oscar: So, uh, “here’s Johnny,” then. (1:01)

Stacey: So that’s why they let her put the pants on - so she could piss her pants. (1:02)

Andy: Why were you in the girl’s locker room, Kendall? (1:04)

Andy: Clipping. Wow, clipping.
Jackie: That was awesome. (1:05)

Oscar: Bastards! (1:05)

Oscar: That was not worth the false scare. (1:08)

Andy: Arlington’s not a days trip from Boston, movie. (1:08)

Stacey: “And by Saccharine I mean poison!” (1:11)

Oscar: It is New England. (1:11)

Andy: Isn’t this supposed to be the thrilling conclusion of the movie? Shouldn’t it be either thrilling or a conclusion? (1:13)

Oscar: Is he talking to Kojack? (1:15)

Andy: It is New England. (1:15)

Oscar: It is New England. (1:16)

Oscar: “Have you heard the new record by Huey Lewis and the News?”
Andy: I think we’re about to hear it. (1:18)

Oscar: That was some pretty restrained gore there. (1:21)

Oscar: What!?!?
Andy: Oh my god!
Oscar: Yes!
Stacey: He reassembled her! (1:24)

Oscar: What?
Andy: What!?!
Stacey: What?
Andy: It ends like this?
Oscar: I guess. (1:25)


Stacey: Not quite the epic proportions of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers or High School Confidential, but tries really hard. 2 Crushed Testicles

Oscar: Thank you, Eli. You have yet to let me down. 3 Bastards

Andy: Well, it is New England. 3 Endings

Jackie: Indeed, it is exactly what it sounds like. 1 Unlit Cigar
