They have a version of Hercules that's very silly.
TylerHOST
Um, they made Lifeforce.
TylerHOST
They worked sometimes with real directors like John Cassavetes or, or, uh, Franco Zeffirelli.
TylerHOST
Runaway Train was them.
ChavezHOST
Wes Craven would become legitimate in a way that Toby Hooper never did.
ChavezHOST
Even though Tobey Hooper would direct Life Force, Chainsaw 2, and Poltergeist, which is probably his biggest hit.
ChavezHOST
But the controversy even 40 years later is that Spielberg directed that.
ChavezHOST
Wes Craven kind of revolutionized horror in a way with Freddy Krueger.
Dusty LaneHOST
Worked on David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone, which is a Stephen King property.
Dusty LaneHOST
Toby Hooper's Life Force, Martin Scorsese's Amazing Stories, which we talked about recently, Richard Donner's Lethal Weapon, Chris Columbus's Adventures in Babysitting, John McTiernan's Die Hard.

46 MINS LATER
Dusty LaneHOST
fuck.
Dusty LaneHOST
And just as suddenly disappears as if there was never a globe to begin with.
Dusty LaneHOST
The crew can't raise him on the radio and his life force is no longer showing on the scan.
Dusty LaneHOST
But he is in there mesmerized by what looks like a pool of mercury all of a sudden.

Robert LambHOST
This great s- I thought he was a good Gurney.
Robert LambHOST
Um, ob- obviously by the time, uh, The Next Generation comes out, already a veteran of stage and screen and TV with, uh, let's see, his first theatrical film role was back in '75, and other prior genre credits included '81's Excalibur, '85's Lifeforce, '85's The Doctor and the Devils, and then of course he had been in Generations previously.
Robert LambHOST
And of note, he'd go on to play Ahab, uh, Captain Ahab, in the 1998 Moby Dick TV miniseries-
Joe McCormickHOST
Hmm

Kait ThompsonGUEST
space vampires
Luke FieldHOST
sexy naked space vampires land in london and they are fighting patrick stewart um and steve rall's back Yeah, very much a pulpy, almost like a throwback to the Hammer, like almost the Quatermass movies.
Courtney ReumGUEST
I think all these, not all these, but many of these health companies are converging toward the same thing.
Courtney ReumGUEST
They have different entry points and whether you're Equinox Gym or Aura or one of our companies like Lifeforce, eventually you're also going off the same consumer, but you're building trust or having your hero product, your entry point at a different place.
Maggie Sellers ReumHOST
There's also an interesting conversation in pop culture right now about what is too optimized.
Maggie Sellers ReumHOST
And I think that we have a very healthy balance of letting data inform how we can better our lives.
Darren GayHOST
And what do you got for a pairing? What's your first pick?
Duncan ShieldsHOST
I'm going to pair it with Life Force.
Duncan ShieldsHOST
Nice.
Duncan ShieldsHOST
Which is another wackadoo bonkers B movie with copious nudity.
Duncan ShieldsHOST
Yeah.
Duncan ShieldsHOST
It all comes out of his face and coalesces into a ball in the middle of the helicopter.
Darren GayHOST
I remember being so excited to see Life Force because I read the review
Duncan ShieldsHOST
