Phantasm II

And I have such interesting vague memories.

One is that I think my brother knew somebody that worked at a movie theater and the very first time I was ever taken to the projection booth to see how movie theaters operated, I remember distinctly Phantasm II was the movie that was being shown.

So I have a memory of me seeing Angus from a projection booth And only vaguely knowing who he was at that point in time.

I mean, it was 1988, so I'm like 12.

So which one are you referencing, Adam?

I'm thinking this is one from about four or five years ago.

This is the one that has that cut of Phantasm II that has the uncut priest murder.

And a really weird transfer of the movie, in my opinion.

Yeah, yeah.

I, I think I was at, I think I was at a babysitter's house, and they were watching Phantasm II maybe.

Mm-hmm.

And there are a couple scenes in that that I could, like Gus Van Sant's Psycho style, recreate e- precisely from memory-

You come to us.

this summer the ball is back phantasm 2

it's only a dream it's a dream no it's not

rated r things have changed in a major way mike is weird now

Really? It's awesome.

And that's a great way to end Phantasm 1.

But then Phantasm 2 starts right there.

Well, it doesn't start right there.

Uh, Russell's here as well, joining us on our Phantasm fall journey.

We're doing Phantasm II, the one where Mike looks a little different.

[laughs] The action-y one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'd... see, unlike with Saw, we can't really speak to the future ones as knowledgeably.

'Cause with Saw we're like, "Dude, when it gets to VI, this guy's gonna come back." With, with Phantasm I'm like, I remember one character from Phantasm III, but I don't really remember the general tone and everything.

I'm just remembering that character's signature weapon.

what do we have on the roulette today? Well, as well as all the things that we've gathered so far this year, our patrons nominated some wonderful things.

In honour of Reggie Bannister, Jasmine recommended Phantasm II.

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Yeah, which I thought was a lovely idea.

So that one feels like-

And I remember that the actor who's in so much stuff, who's like the lead in Phantasm II-

Is it, that plays Mike?

Yeah.

Looking like normal Reggie Bannister.

No, the star-making turn in Phantasm II for this dude.

In the first one, he's great.

We love our boys.

I think we can safely say that the U.S. government is directly responsible for the death of Reggie Bannister at age 80.

Yeah.

Well, I know the last time we talked about Phantasm III, he was in hospice, I think, at that point.

Yes.

Okay.

We have Croc from Lake Placid 2 versus Tall Man from Phantasm 2.

Well, this is

similar.

No, no,

there's not.

But I feel like even in Phantasm 2, the tall man is quote unquote killed.

They like destroy his body and he still comes back.
