My mum worked in a video store and I got to see this as a preview tape (with timecode on the top) and was asked whether the video store should get rental copies (I was what...6 or 7?) I loved it and kept that tape for years until I mistakenly threw away all my tapes when I assumed dvd was infinitely cooler (and later canned all of those for blu rays and now can those when 4K discs come out) The store never got any more copies of Freaked in even with my flowing recommendation and thus I was the only one of my friends to have seen this for decades

2021-02-20 15:41:20 +0000 UTCThis is one of my childhood favorites. My dad would show my sister and I obscure movies and this was one we would watch repeatedly. I watched this episode with my boyfriend who has never seen the movie. His reaction to it all was the best.
2020-04-27 20:35:47 +0000 UTCI appreciate RLM doing a review of this film. I can't believe I have never seen it or heard of it. I squeed when Jay brought out the Freaked action figures. I must find Freaked now and watch it. My boyfriend who introduced me to RLM had no idea what Suncoast or Media play was. I'm like dude, I spent so much time and money in those stores, I really miss them. Stay safe ya'll

2020-04-16 22:30:35 +0000 UTCI forgot to say thanks for introducing the youtube generation to this film. I always appreciate when RLM introduces me to a film I haven't seen and I'm like, "Whoa, this film is crazy."

2020-04-14 12:15:34 +0000 UTCThose creature designs look way more Basil Wolverton then Ed Roth. And if you haven't seen his art, look it up!
2020-04-13 21:31:16 +0000 UTCSpeaking of John Hawkes, he is in Too Old to Die Young, which is well worth a watch. If you are into that sort of thing.

2020-04-13 20:20:32 +0000 UTCI too was a huge fan from the HBO repeat viewings as a teen, and having forgotten its existence for 2 decades a few minutes of watching it on YouTube and I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair. Alex Winter's brand of humor is so elegantly refined.

2020-04-13 14:09:55 +0000 UTCAs I listened to Josh and Jay describe this film, I knew only Josh and Jay had to be the ones to review this film. So I tracked this film down and watched it. It's actually pretty good. Jay's right in that the comedy is stupid, but it does hold up. Stupid comedy has it's place compared to stupid comedy because remember "insert reference here". It's the difference between legendary comedies like Airplane or the Naked Gun series and the Friedberg/Seltzer movies.

2020-04-13 12:54:43 +0000 UTCAnother fantastic reView!! Jay I watched Society recently because of the recommendation and it’s great! That slow burn of watching a teen getting gaslit and that finale will sit with me for a while.
2020-04-13 12:38:13 +0000 UTCI knew Keanu Reeves was the dog, but I didn't know John Hawkes was the cow... ... ... wow, what a weird sentence... :/

2020-04-12 18:51:30 +0000 UTCHoly crap, Jay has Freaked action figures?! Awesome!
2020-04-12 18:27:32 +0000 UTCThis would have been my favorite movie as a kid. I’m sort of sad that it passed me by. Thanks for sharing though! Also, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strata-cut_animation it’s dope y’all.

2020-04-12 16:42:46 +0000 UTCThank you for introducing me to this amazing film! Looks wild!
2020-04-12 16:28:59 +0000 UTCMan! I remember watching this with my dad when I was a teen, he had the VHS. What a throwback, Id love To see this again.

2020-04-12 16:20:15 +0000 UTCI really thought I was the only person who knew about this movie. HBO used to play it a lot back in the day. I have a feeling at least Jay and Josh grew up with HBO when they were kids. Especially after name checking PCU, which they also played a bunch. Keep up the great work, guys!

2020-04-12 13:17:21 +0000 UTCI am happy, but I really want you two to review Example Show on Netflix, even if just as a joke. Keep up the good work, stay safe guys. We will need RLM in a post coronavirus world!
