Jeffrey HoffmanGUEST
Like very, two very different movies.
Jeffrey HoffmanGUEST
And it's like Bob Clark with doing a Christmas story and doing black Christmas.
Jeffrey HoffmanGUEST
Like they're two very different movies that a director that is very famous and known for something that everybody knows Bob Clark.
Jeffrey HoffmanGUEST
Probably for a Christmas story.
Jeffrey HoffmanGUEST
But horror fans know Black Christmas.
BlakeHOST
But Black Christmas was actually the film that inspired John Carpenter's Halloween.
BlakeHOST
Director Bob Clark, who was also the director of A Christmas Story.
BlakeHOST
and years after the movie came out it's wild I know wild years after the movie came out Carpenter asked Bob Clark if he planned on making a sequel to this movie.
BlakeHOST
And he was like, no, I don't want to do a sequel.
BlakeHOST
But he did give a hypothetical pitch for a sequel if he had one.
Brian HeilerHOST
Isn't
Jason LenziHOST
there that Bob Clark one? Young guy comes back from Vietnam kind of thing in the neighborhood.
Jason LenziHOST
Death Dream? Is that what that is?
Brian HeilerHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Theo BeidlerHOST
He could have never made anything again.
Theo BeidlerHOST
Some say that John stole the idea from Bob Clark, who wrote and directed the movie Black Christmas in 1974.
Theo BeidlerHOST
Oh, yeah.
Theo BeidlerHOST
It's about a motiveless killer murdering students at a university sorority house.
Duncan BirminghamGUEST
I'd seen it before and really liked it.
Duncan BirminghamGUEST
I think it's Canadian Bob Clark slasher movie about a killer in a sorority house.
Duncan BirminghamGUEST
But and I liked it.
Duncan BirminghamGUEST
And then and then the Blu-ray was like magnificent, looked really cool.
Witney SeiboldHOST
And see some of this stuff for the first time.
Witney SeiboldHOST
So that's my choice is Bob Clark's Black Christmas.
Witney SeiboldHOST
That's a great movie.
Witney SeiboldHOST
Yeah.
William BibbianiHOST
It is about the way men victimize women and the way men treat women as... things and it's so it's but it does so without feeling like we're indulging in a misogynistic fantasy which some movies fall into the trap of in order to portray a misogynistic killer we must luxuriate in the misogynistic horror no no no this is scary but is abundantly clear that these women are fully formed Interesting characters with real personalities, with their own hopes and dreams, and every time something bad happens to one of them, it is A, scary, B, a fucking tragedy.
Ryan ReynoldsADVERTISER
Mm-hmm.
William BibbianiHOST
Bob Clark had such a weird fucking career because he started off making some really fucking fascinating horror movies.
William BibbianiHOST
And then he made, like, A Christmas Story.
BrianHOST
Yeah, the original.
BrianHOST
So there's a director from Canada, Bob Clark.
BrianHOST
I don't know if you know who Bob Clark is.
BrianHOST
No.
BrianHOST
So he did Black Christmas, which some people consider that one of the earliest slasher films, if not one of the first slasher films.
RodHOST
Yeah,
BrianHOST
yeah, yeah.
BrianHOST
And this is Bob Clark, a Canadian director.
Scott WeinbergHOST
Here we go.
Scott WeinbergHOST
Over the top or Judd Nelson, John Hurt, Ray Walston, Elizabeth Perkins, Darren McGavin, David Allen Greer, In Bob Clark's From the Hip.
Scott WeinbergHOST
I have not seen this movie, so I guess I'll go over the top.
Scott WeinbergHOST
A weird legal comedy.
Mike MalloyGUEST
Adult movies, dramas, coming home being the big drama,
Mike WhiteHOST
but And what's the Bob Clark movie with the son coming home who's basically a zombie?
Eric ZaldivarGUEST
Death Dream.
Eric ZaldivarGUEST
That's the one that I was thinking that was horror.
Eric ZaldivarGUEST
But that one more specifically is horror.
Eric ZaldivarGUEST
Yeah, Death Dream.
Eric ZaldivarGUEST
And it also goes by Dead of Night, which makes things very confusing because Bob Clark already made a Dead of Night.
Eric ZaldivarGUEST
You tell me.
Gavin WhiteheadHOST
Christopher Plummer plays Sherlock Holmes and endows him with a level of compassion that just we never see in Holmes.
Gavin WhiteheadHOST
It's legitimately an amazing movie directed by Bob Clark.
Gavin WhiteheadHOST
I highly recommend it.
Lindsey FitzharrisGUEST
