From Hell

Also about TV news.

Um, mine would be the Hughes brothers' 2001 movie From Hell.

Oh, God.

Johnny Depp plays Inspector Frederick Abberline, a Victorian-era Scotland Yard detective who uses opium and absinthe and laudanum to induce these, like, psychic visions that help him track down the serial killer Jack the Ripper.

And that's based on- Fucking love that movie ...

From Hell was a, um...

Fuck.

Who's the Watchman? It is.

Like, and if you, somebody let you borrow their freaking mask and you put it on, you just felt their sweat right on the mask, and I'm just like [scratching]

Hell yeah.

Bro, that's disgusting.

Your, your mask gonna be-

Yeah.

But when Martin ended, hell, we didn't even know.

We was like, damn, when that shit, uh, that shit ain't coming on no more? Hell, I ain't know that shit c- I ain't even know that shit went off the air.

I was like, damn, it's fucked up.

Uh, you know what? Here's a movie I fucking love that I don't know if everyone loves as much as me.

I'm taking From Hell.

Hell.Oh, that's a good one

It, it's Jack the Ripper-

Johnny Depp is the detective who's trying-

Yeah

... to track it from hell down.

The movie is nowhere as near as good as the actual book it's based on.

if you wanna call that a horror movie.

Dude, From Hell and then Sleepy Hollow back to back.

Yeah.

From Hell was Jack the Ripper.

We used to, we used to watch Sleepy Hollow all the time.

Never heard of it.

It's funny, actually.

Yeah, it's exactly.

I would agree with entirely, you know, films like From Hell, which are with the Johnny Depp film.

what they do is they they draw people who suddenly think oh i i'd like to know more about that or read more about that or look it up and suddenly you've got people that become interested in the subject which is fantastic

yeah i think the more people that can bring opinions and ideas and research to the area you never know maybe maybe will it be sold you think or is that part of the charm of it that it never can be properly

I enjoy things that are Jack the Ripper kind of theme, especially like that era, you know, when Ripper was around.

Kind of like watching From Hell with Johnny Depp.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Nice, nice.

It was mandatory, and now it's not so mandatory.

Now they're just like, well, whatever, you know, we don't even do it during football, during Sunday night football, then what's the point? But the Pledge of Allegiance is kind of irrelevant to this movie from hell,

which,

you know, has nothing to do with America except its lead actors, Johnny Depp and... heather graham and also very peculiar choice of directors but actually great uh the hughes brothers best known for menace to society and dead presidents

Let's try the Tom Cruise mummy movie.

Neither of which I think actually book of Eli might've made some money, but the mummy obviously did not.

Um, so that's, that's a, that's a little interesting artifact here is like, yeah, somebody at 20th century Fox said, let's get the Hughes brothers for from hell.

Well, the Hughes brothers, since Book of Eli, one of them, Albert, directed a short series of video game footage.

You're gonna hear the review of Outpost 3 with Scott Lehman.

You're gonna hear the review of From Hell from Jason Debray.

You're gonna hear a review of The Countess with Raylee Perkins.

And we'll wrap things up with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, reviewed by The Beckman Thank you for choosing Rank and Review.

I believe this was done by someone with a working knowledge of dissection.

An educated man? That's preposterous.

So we're gonna talk about the 2001 film From Hell.

But before we talk about it, I'm gonna talk about what movie it made me think about.
