Comments

I was just checking to see if someone mentioned this. It was just a guy that kind of looked like Loomis.

Christopher Oxentine

The deep fake of Loomis in Halloween Kills "isn't that bad" because it isn't a deep fake.

Sara Syd

Can I pls request Big Trouble in Little China for WLM! It’s all time! You know it!

John Kay

Loomis saying "Oh, Michael.. God damn you." And then unloading half a mag added a whole star to this movie for me.

Tanner

I love that tekken movie.

Mark D Myers

The Halloween-Multiplicity crossover would have to be called Michael-plicity, right?

Tim O'Connor

Listening to this episode now and I want a Halloween Multiplicity movie, Loomis (Pleasence) vs Leeds (Harris Yulin) Leeds makes clone after clone of Michael and Loomis is the only one who knows their weaknesses of being shot SIX TIMES!!!!! yes I'm aware they Pleasence is dead and Yulin is older. However let's Tarkin the crap out of it.

DMAC

For nearly 40 years I've managed to avoid this movie until today. I haven't listened to the podcast yet so I spent the whole movie dumbfounded that this was an WLM episode. And than I got to the end and I understood. Chef's kiss for Loomis losing his shit like that.

John Locke

Anybody else in absolute awe of Andrew having never seen Berry Gordy's Last Dragon and wish like hell you could be there for the first viewing????

Adam Ray

Re: Steve's comment about how it's an underdeveloped idea to have more than one Michael Myers in a movie, if both players pick Michael Myers you don't get a red one and a blue one, you get one Nick Castle and one Rohan Campbell

Smaug

Release the Friday 4 cut! 4! 4! 4! 4!

Ray

Good Gawd gentlemen, another classic bit with the "Late Night Cafe" roster of n'er-do-well's that were lucky enough to have it stay open until 2AM!!!!!! Fan-fucking-tastic.

Chris MacLeod

Here's a fun fact about Halloween (2018): The eastern European-looking guy who played the doctor(Haluk Bilginer) is actually a really talented Shakespearean actor here in Turkey. He even portrayed Antony in Antony and Cleopatra in London's Globe Theatre, but for my generation, he's best known as the voice of Buzz Lightyear and Diego from Ice Age. So, imagine our shock when we saw his head smashed in. It was hilarious!

Eren Keskin

Glad to finally hear y’all talk about the last dragon good to know you like it lol, it’s been my listener request for like 6 years

Angel Echevarria

This is an all timer for the bits. I want an animated show of all the horror icons voiced by the boys

Ryan

I think it deserves a commentary.

profondo robbo

You slayed this movie at the Halloween Marathon 2018 - so you were kidding.. lol.

Doug Dee

Jamie Lloyd could have told the bullies in school she was Punky Brewster for Halloween, and they would have believed her.

CharlesGrodin'sToupee

My favorite line is from the guy at the power plant. He sees Michael get out of a tow truck, wearing a mechanic’s jumpsuit. He’s wearing a mask of course, but it’s literally Halloween. The guy looks at him and says “What are you, some kind of Hell’s Angel?” Kills me every time! 🤣😂🤣

Melissa Benjamin

A great one. One of the best fours and one of the best spooky season atmospheres of any movie ever made.

Pete

Last year's Halloween-time virtual show! - Andrew

We Hate Movies

My guys steered me wrong -- my initial instinct was correct! - Andrew

We Hate Movies

I actually had the novelization!!

Chyanna Turner

Episode is in the can! - Andrew

We Hate Movies

Oh I love that “The Last Dragon” is on their minds. An episode on either feed pleeeeaaassseee

shaka

I’m so glad he did the noooo

Tom Mann

Been waiting to here you guys cover this one!!!! Honestly it's one of my faves in the franchise!!

Chyanna Turner

A movie I think about constantly. So happy you’ve finally done it.

Hassan Khalatbari

Also you guys should do the Last Dragon. It’s such a fun silly movie. Any movie that has Sho’Nuff, the Showgun of Harlem must be watched

Dan sulin

The gun the shrieff is using at the end is also the same type of gun that Muldoon (tries) to use against the raptors in Jurassic Park. SPAS-12. Very famous movie gun

Les Whinen

Somehow .... Loose Loomis returned! The boys kill every impression and I have never seen this Halloween yet, excited to view tonight 😎

Watch_N_Rewatch

they didn’t deepfake loomis in kills! it was one of their construction supervisors done in real makeup.

Nick Haerter

Are y’all gonna do Leprechaun 4 with the Dead Meat folks? 😁

Nuña Bisness

Now I need a movie with CGI Loomis and RFK Jr.

Kevin Pires

Episodes on an Elm Street movie and a Halloween movie in the span of only a couple days? This is practically a dream come true! Looking forward to giving this one a listen tonight. I think the only pre-Rob Zombie remake and DGG trilogy movie they haven't done yet is Halloween 5. I so often mix up events in 4 and 5, I nearly forgot the cult of Thorn stuff isn't in this one.

Busiris

The David Gordon Green trilogy is amazing.

Christopher Oxentine

Freddy's phone call to Leatherface has me dying

Gregory Baffuto

I do like how I think they've mentioned that Michael is just a little too conniving or a planner in every Halloween episode...my guy is just a genius unappreciated in his own or any other time

G Goldhar

Halloween Kills rules, I wont hear otherwise!!

Gregory Baffuto

That theme songs always hits so hard in October.

Dan sulin

Saw a copy of the movie on YouTube off a vhs. NBC movie October 1989 with seasonal commercials. I knew there’d be censors and cuts but I had to watch it. Good times.

James Gibson

I just spit coffee at “his uncle feeds women to the creature from the black lagoon” from Eric 👏👏👏

Kenneth Tribett

It was! I think it was either the head makeup guy or one of his assistants! Came to comment that lol, not to be an “uhm actually” but because I thought that was genuinely fun and impressive lol

Wesley Hall

I thought Loomis in Halloween Kills was a guy on the crew who looked a little like Donald Pleasance, so they put him in some prosthetics? I think they touched it up with CGI, but I think it's a little more "real" than most deepfakes.

Adam Shreve

Not to be *that* guy, but INVISIBLE AGENT is technically a "4" sequel, and there's still time to do a commentary this month. I believe the terms and conditions of the "Walsh Tier" clearly state that...jk jk jk. Great ep.

Mark Ibarra

I just watched Howling IV the other day and it is awful for 98% of the movie with an absolutely spectacular ending. Everyone is over dubbed with their own voices so the dialogue is incredibly loud and disembodied. Worth watching but quite bad!

FiddlersGreenDay

Shit Earl…it’s Ted Hollister!

Jonnie Sea

Ends defender here. There are (maybe) dozens of us!

Matt

This one will always have a special place in my heart. My wife and I had just moved into a new place and I spent the day building furniture watching this during AMC Fright Fest.

Joe Barrett

Eric chose violence today

John Carruthers

Well shut my mouth, Andrew just said they already did it.

Tim O'Connor

I would have expected Friday the 13th Part 4, but I'm not complaining 😁🎃

Tim O'Connor

So buzzed to listen to this. The WHM Spooktacular is literally one of the highlights of my year! 🎃🍿😂

Johnny Collins

This is one of my favorite movies to watch in October! The late 80s and fall vibes are just too good!

Courtney ❤

This is my 3rd in the Halloween Franchise ranking! (H78, H18, H4, H3, H20, H2, then the others flow down and end with Zombie's.

Leesha Olivier

Love Halloween 4 so glad to see it's getting the 'L' treatment, even if it only stands for "like"... 😂

Bellissimo
