Ep. 78 The Wrong Kind Of Proof (Deathproof)

Folks, I genuinely wish there was a fatality that Stuntman Mike had in Mortal Kombat where he runs over a guy's balls just so I could hear, Baltality, Stuntman Mike

wins.

Hi folks, I'm Ian.

Ian, it's great to hear from you.

I was trying to wiggle my way around and not try to say anything about this turd of a movie.

So I wanted to say something about Death Race and Jason Statham and how good that movie is in comparison to this fucking turd.

But, of course, we're talking today about the 2007 American slasher film.

And I wouldn't even consider it a slasher film.

You know, that's funny, brother.

You've seen that because...

I went on Wikipedia earlier on just to kind of look up random fucking trivia about this.

And obviously right on that opening page, it's like you said there, 2007 slasher film.

And I was like, what the fuck? And then like Tarantino gives an explanation.

Like it's not a straight up slasher film, but it falls into the slasher genre.

And I just was like...

I mean, it has elements of, like, the stalking thing, which Michael Myers did in the original Halloween, but, yeah, to put it in the slasher genre, I was a bit like, calling bullshit there, unless someone has other facts that they want to write in and tell us that Evan and I are both wrong, and it is, in fact, a slasher film.

I'm kind of with this.

I think it's more of a psychological thriller.

Yeah.

than anything else.

Yeah, I mean, it's obviously exploitation's its main sort of inspiration, isn't it? So if I was to put it into any genre, it would be an exploitation film.

But yeah, Slasher's a bit out there.

It's a bit out there.

It's a little bit...

I don't understand why they would say that on Wikipedia.
