No.
Marcus ParksHOST
Art the Clown?
Zach CreggerGUEST
No.
Henry ZebrowskiHOST
Oh, God.
16 MINS LATER
Marcus ParksHOST
the, one of our new horror icons.
Ed LarsonHOST
Yes.
Marcus ParksHOST
Uh, we're very excited to have the actor who portrays Art the Clown, nay is Art the Clown, David Howard Thornton.
Marcus ParksHOST
Thank you for being here.
CodyHOST
Right.
CodyHOST
There was an Art the Clown LED light that is now hanging in our bedroom, facing our bed, which is a terrific place to put that.
CodyHOST
So that showed up there, a couple different Art the Clown things, and some of the Chucky stuff.
CodyHOST
life-size figures, um, were, were there and some other stuff.
CodyHOST
And then now they're just like, you'll find them year round for like those popular ones.
Jon DraperHOST
This is about absentee parents and isolation, loneliness.
Jon DraperHOST
These elements, regardless of whether or not someone's getting filleted head to toe on screen, isn't really Art the Clown about an absentee dad disguised as something that's supposed to make a child feel better, but in essence horrifies them? I hate it, but it is.
Jon DraperHOST
Granted, I have not seen anyone from that camp say that, and we could literally get someone from that camp on this show if we wanted to, who helped make those first fucking couple of movies.
Jon DraperHOST
I don't know that Uncle Creepy would greenlight that and say that that's correct, but I don't think I'm far off From the concept of it, the fact that it is a clown, that although many people find clowns scary, the reality is they're supposed to entertain children and make you feel childlike.
Jon DraperHOST
No,
B-Show BrianHOST
that's right.
B-Show BrianHOST
Because when you were talking about Art the Clown, the first thing I thought of was Pennywise.
B-Show BrianHOST
This universally accepted symbol of something that's supposed to be an entertainer and something that's innocent and pure, but it's the one inflicting damage.
PhilHOST
But I'm telling you, this movie genuinely surprised me.
PhilHOST
And frankly, if Art the Clown, who I'll just say I think is maybe a tad overrated, or maybe not overrated is not the right word, but I think is perhaps overhyped, Buddy certainly, again, if Art the Clown can be an icon, Buddy has every reason to be a new horror icon.
PhilHOST
And again, I think it's the sort of the look of the anthropomorphized animal coupled with just the straight horror and almost demonic nature of the character itself.
PhilHOST
it's really something that you can almost laugh at in a nervous way, but also be terrified at the same time.
Dan MurrellHOST
That would be kind of effective.
Dan MurrellHOST
Chucky, I could see Chucky in a little, in a little detective's hat and a little notepad doing a, doing a crime scene, but he's an agent of chaos, so how, how, how would he really be committed to solving a crime? Art the Clown, he could maybe solve the crime as a bit may- you know? So I, yeah, maybe Art the Clown, but like your Jasons, your Michael Myerses, there's not much to work with there.
Dan MurrellHOST
There's not much bumbling going on there.
Dan MurrellHOST
So I, you know, I would throw that kind of element out completely.
Dan MurrellHOST
Uh, Pinhead, I don't think, uh, he's, he's a little, he's a little too serious.
Dan MurrellHOST
So I'd say it's probably between Jig- in my man- mind, I'd say it's between Jigsaw, Art the Clown, and Chucky.
Dan MurrellHOST
Give me a pilot for each one of those.
Dan MurrellHOST
Christopher Brickner, uh, thank you again, says, "Do you think the standard length and pacing of many older films like Dr. Zhivago makes it harder for modern audiences to get into them?" Well, I don't know if it makes it harder for any modern audiences to get into them.
Jake BostonHOST
I will say that.
Jake BostonHOST
We've got an Art the Clown puzzle.
Jake BostonHOST
We've got a 3D lamp of Art the Clown.
Jake BostonHOST
A whole bunch of Art the Clown here.
Jake BostonHOST
I don't know who's getting that backpack.
Jake BostonHOST
Some coloring books, it looks like.
MarkHOST
[laughs]
MattHOST
Even when we went and did the step and repeat with Art the Clown at the restaurant, I, even that, I was like, "I've had enough with the photos."
MarkHOST
[laughs]
MattHOST
"I j- I just wanna eat my meal." [laughs]
Killjoy JakeHOST
This is brand new for the podcast, you're welcome.
Killjoy JakeHOST
We saw a leaked text message conversation from Mike Gianelli, who is of course the original Art the Clown, saying that he's going to have some sort of role in the new Terrifier film.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Now this is really interesting, because we've learned recently that Mike Gianelli is actually going to have some sort of killer role in Stream 2, a movie that has allegedly already been shot.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Now it seems like he's going to be a part of Terrifier 4, you know, being actually a part of the Terrifier franchise.
Killjoy JakeHOST
He was, of course, Art the Clown in like All Hallows Eve and the short films, whatever, but he hasn't been a part of the franchise since then.
Killjoy JakeHOST
You know, he wasn't involved with Terrifier 1, 2, and 3.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Now I know I had a whole great big theory about, you know, people from the first Terrifier movie being a part of Terrifier 4, but now I'm starting to think that maybe Damian Leone was talking about, you know, the first one.
Killjoy JakeHOST
Not Terrifier.
TimHOST
So it's kinda hard there.
TimHOST
They put Art in probably the smallest area that they could have put Art show in.
TimHOST
Uh-
BradyHOST
Dude, the Art thing is chaos.
TimHOST
It really is.
TimHOST
Um, if you haven't seen, Art is literally, this is not a spoiler, Art is over-
BradyHOST
Yeah
TimHOST
... by like where, um, uh, Transformer Ride is.
Count CreepyheadHOST
That's cheap, which I think that's what they were doing.
Count CreepyheadHOST
Um, but they had like, uh, Fake Jason from Five was more than Art the Clown, which was like, dude, other than Robert England, I don't think anybody has the right to charge more than Art the Clown right now.
Count CreepyheadHOST
So I don't know where you're fucking coming from, but whatever rate he sets, you guys need to be below that.
Count CreepyheadHOST
Yeah, for real.
Count CreepyheadHOST
No, stop it.
Count CreepyheadHOST
So yeah, I'm good for conventions as well.
Count CreepyheadHOST
I got Art the Clown.
Count CreepyheadHOST
I would come out for the Chodo Brothers or Chucky, but he never does conventions.
