Fun fact: Using a leg a lamb as a murder weapon likely comes from Roald Dahl’s short story “Lamb to slaughter” Where a suburban house wife murders her husband when he asks for the a divorce with a frozen leg of lamb, and then cooks and feeds it to detectives later, effectively destroying the murder weapon. Very in theme for a John waters movie
Fun fact: fewer crimes are committed on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. All those moms who would be off committing crimes are at brunch with their families today!
That and, on a somewhat more serious note, a LOT of criminals (yes, even some of those amongst the most depraved) love their mamas to the point where not only it can be one of their only positive traits and they can make a point of not comitting crime on Mother's Day for their sake, matricide is often frowned upon in the criminal underworld for those exact reasons...to put it mildly as prisons have shown us.
Lol Church was standing room only yesterday 😅 Mom's have a way of getting even the lambs who wonder the farthest to come to Church on Mother's Day 💐 😆 It was heartwarming to see so many happy mom's ❤ (Yep I am one of those wayward lambs 😂)
It’s an interesting detail that Beverly’s favorite bird she likes to watch is a Starling, which are invasive and generally disliked birds that toss other birds’ eggs from their nest so they can put their own eggs in for the other bird to adopt.
@@shotyslawa I guess Beverly would defend it as "well they are thinking of their own children, as mothers all do" or "it is their nature, you can't really change that"
Literally, clocked upside the head with a telephone and she doesn't bother begging for her life (Or. technically begs for her life but in the weirdest way) lolllllllllll
I mean, I guess it *could* be, but honestly, listening to a her talk about waiting tables when she obviously never has at any point in her life is more of a Rich Person Thing than a Badass Thing. Especially because it's a rich person saying something they experienced is worse than being poor. And especially because the only reason she did not die in jail is that she was richer than god and the idea of 'brainwashing' briefly had a lot more plausibility to the general public than it does today; if she were Jeff Bezos' granddaughter instead of Hearst's, there's no chance she would have avoided conviction.
It's Mink Stole's delivery, she always knew how to put stank on a line, you can even hear her on a hidden track on Marilyn Manson's Portrait of an American Family.
@@coolnerdlll6053 no they don't, in scream billy's mother was the original killer in scream, and this person is obviously saying that this is like a prequel to scream except stu's mom was the og killer instead of billy's, hope this helps!!
He's probably getting the lesser known ones out of the way first, then he'll move on to bigger ones, everyone's heard of. This channel is a celebration of all horror after all. Gotta get the word out on obscure movies
I wish I could show this movie to my mom but she doesn’t like me :( she yells at me like my father does she also rips her coloring pictures I made for her 😔
There’s a reference in SpongeBob that may state that Mrs. Puff was convicted of crimes before moving to Bikini Bottom. Maybe it’s a “Serial Mom” reference?
I love that there was a point in time where Waters requested the rights to Annie, I like to believe he didn’t tell the studio what he was using it for. My favorite part of that kill is the look she gives when realizing she’s going to have to waste a leg of lamb.
What's funnier about Kathleen Turner's casting in this film is that five years later, she would go on to star in Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides as the religious, domineering Mrs. Lisbon, who exerts control her daughters' lives and keeps them confined to their quiet Michigan suburb. In the same decade, Turner stars in two films that both take digs at domestic jobs and suburban life.
I remember one day I had a day off from school (might have been spring break?), and I asked my mom if she'd take me and my friend to see "The Mighty Ducks". We get to the theatre and she gets three tickets for "Serial Mom". I was in the 4th grade. It is now one of "our" movies. My mom rules so hard. Happy mother's day, ma! Love ya!
That’s such a cool story. My dad did something similar with the film Lone Survivor when I was 12 or 13. It was us and maybe three other pairs of fathers and sons in the theatre. First and only time I’ve seen my father cry watching a film.
I remember living in Baltimore when this was filmed, and I was in the 4th grade. My friend's dad (Joshua Shoemaker) had a single line in the movie as a reporter at Serial Mom's trial- I remember going to my friend's house and hearing her dad practice his line over and over. I haven't seen the movie in ages, so I might not have it exactly right, but I think it was something like "Mr Sutfin, how does your wife feel?".
My grandmother showed me this movie back when I was in middle school and I've loved it ever since. Plus, that phone call scene gets me every time. Thank you, Mamaw for introducing me to this movie. I miss you so much.
Thank you so much for covering this movie!! I watched it as a kid with my dad along with "Death Becomes Her" and they were our go to when we needed a laugh. Glad to see classics like this become more known 🥰
this channel has covered some depraved scenes and movies but easily the most disturbing thing ive seen is james having his dog lick his feet. thats in my brain forever now i guess
Mr. Waters is a Baltimore legend. He used to walk from his home to the market for breakfast every day, and I would love those days when I bumped into him since I was working downtown back then.
I remember when he was directing Pecker in the neighborhood where I grew up. My foster sister and I found out, so I rode on the back of her bike while she peddled and we went to watch them film. We even got an autograph from him. It's one of my favorite memories.
That Wiggles reference made me so happy bc the kids these days will never know “fruit salad, yummy yummy” as a bop & that breaks my heart. Justice for Fruit Salad!
John Waters is definitely an excellent example of an “acquired taste”, but one that you become firmly hooked on if you give his films a shot and enjoy his willingness to follow his own rules and his creative originality. Serial Mom is arguably one of the best “mainstream” films he’s done over the years, and I’d dare say that it ranks up there with Polyester as my favorite film from him. He was recently released from the hospital following an accident, so I hope he makes a speedy recovery. The world just wouldn’t be the same without the world’s most delightful filth elder. ☺️
When I first saw the original Hairspray after seeing the 2007 movie I thought 'meh' or 'bland', then I enjoyed it closer tot he need (i.e. the bomb in the wig), then the next thing I knew I was looking him up, then coming back to Hairspray, then I was rewatching scenes from Hairspray, Cry Baby and Serial Moom over and over again
It’s funny that Matthew Lillard’s character is an archetype of horror which he will meet again 2 years later when doing scream. The casting director really knew what they were doing 🙏
I have such good memories of seeing this movie on opening weekend. The entire theatre was screaming with laughter! I’ll never forget it; we just don’t have theatre experiences like that anymore.
As a son of a serial killer mother movies like this helped me cope with things I did not choose in life. Thanks for covering this movie James. If you ever do Pulse 2001 Id love it!
I just took a look at his IMDB and the dude is everywhere. The Simpsons, Law and Order, Alvin and the Chipmunks, some kids show called Bubble Guppies...
I mean, he also made Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble and Multiple Maniacs, he's much more well known for those sorts of movies. heck, even the original Hairspray is much edgier and satirical than what the musical version made people think of!
This movie was such a delight. Thanks to Dead Meat for covering this, otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken for me to get to watching this movie.
I love the scene when she’s holding the knife over the head of the woman trying to watch Annie, and she looks at the knife, and says nothing, but she exchanges the knife as a weapon for the food instead. She says nothing, but it was as if you could read her mind while she was just looking at the knife. She was probably thinking…I’m too old fashioned for knives! 😂
I was scrolling the comments to see if I was the only one who had the same exact reaction! The way he just casually adds her name with JUST enough of a pause before saying “who’s this little baby’s mom” like BRO
So very glad he did the channel change because that kind of change is supposed to be (meaning not always there are of course exceptions) really good for metrics as now people who only really wanna see kill counts won’t look like inactive subscribers to RUclips so the channel appears to get more engagement and James (and the whole team tbh) deserves to grow
One of the best films you've covered on this channel. John Waters' satire is next level. I didn't know it released just ahead of the O.J. Simpson debacle but that makes it even more brilliant.
I love that you covered a John Waters movie!!! His overlap with horror and his embrace of the "trashy" makes him a personal favorite. Thanks for a perfect Mother's Day gift!
Glad to see this movie getting love! It's is one of my favorite comedies, and it's a perfect "access" film for people interested in John Waters. It's a good neutral ground between his earlier exploitation films like _Pink Flamingos,_ and his more mainstream work with films like _Hairspray._ It's twisted enough to scratch that demented "itch," but not super over-the-top.
If I had a nickel for every time a SpongeBob actor appeared it on the Kill Count, I’d have three nickels. Nickel #1: Clancy Brown (Pet Semetary 2) Nickel #2: Bill Fagerbakke (Jennifer’s Body Director’s Cut) Nickel #3: Mary Jo Catlett (Serial Mom) If you think that’s crazy, just wait until you see Shakes The Clown, which featured Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob himself, as a clown named Binky.
12:45 I love Kevin Smith's work and I like how you guys seem to mention him and his movies a lot. Funnily enough I have the complete Clerks 3 funko pop set including Randal Graves!
19:12 I actually have the historical reasoning that I’ve read about before Essentially white was seen as a rich person color and that wearing it outside of the Labor Day season meant you had the money to keep your white clothes pristine and clean and it also was a sign of not having to work hard
I honestly miss my mom since today’s Mother’s Day 😔…my mom passed away around December last year and I plan on visiting her grave today to show how much I miss her and loved her 😌
My mom passed in 07. It gets easier but I've never stopped missing her. I listened to our song, her favorite song and just spent some time journaling. I hope you feel her energy at the cemetary today
When Molly is licking James' toes, you can see how uncomfortable the poor woman holding her is. She's just got that 'I so don't want to be here right now' face.
The way I understood the white after Labor Day was an English tradition, that when common people started to be able to afford white clothes, the elites made an agreement to not do it. To show what class someone was if they wore white after Labor Day. But who knows. lol
Unlikely, since Labor Day is a US holiday originating in the 19th century, and has never been a thing in the UK. I'm British and never even heard of the tradition until I watched Serial Mom (I was very confused by the whole courtroom scene as a result). As far as I know it's very much an American thing.
So excited to see you cover this. It has always been one of mine and my moms favorite movie. We have a tradition where we watch it everytime we make our go-to pasta. It's so underrated.
Great video as always, Dead Meat crew. Also, yes, Sex World IS a real movie. Its a hardcore parody of West World, where the resort matches people with robots to best help "solve their individual problems." Its surprisingly good.
22:50 You know, I always think about how the To The Numbers bits play context less in the yearly montage and this one seems like it's going to be a weird one.
I know Cathleen Turner as the title character from the BBC's radio adaptation of the VI Warshawski novels. It's so weird seeing her play so differently, quite opposite the hard-nosed, smoking, Chicago city slicker, unmarried, private investigator.
18:36 Not the first bit of on stage antics by Donita of L7. One of her and the band’s most famous antics is throwing a used tampon into the crowd at the 1992 Reading Festival.

11:58 That part was really funny. I love Waters's line delivery.
3:22 SHAGGY AND WILLIAM and MRS. PUFF!!
19:12 I actually have the historical reasoning that I’ve read about before
Essentially white was seen as a rich person color and that wearing it outside of the Labor Day season meant you had the money to keep your white clothes pristine and clean and it also was a sign of not having to work hard
6:16 I never thought I'd ever hear James talk about gooning
im a little traumatized im not gonna lie.
oh wait until you hear Chelsea talking about it on the podcast
@@christopherlau6982 Specifically the Hellraiser: Hellworld episode. It was… something all right. 😂
I honestly miss my mom since today’s Mother’s Day 😔…my mom passed away around December last year and I plan on visiting her grave today to show how much I miss her and loved her 😌
My mom passed in 07. It gets easier but I've never stopped missing her. I listened to our song, her favorite song and just spent some time journaling. I hope you feel her energy at the cemetary today
@@MentalAmanda hopefully I will 😌
my dad shared the same feelings yesterday I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're well and your time yesterday was well.
The fact that I just heard James saying “gooning at the wheel” is mind blowing to me.
15:50 its lamb and mint jelly. which is usually used for lamb or some other meats vs. something like a pbj. its honestly pretty complimentary
This is one of my favorite movies of all time and I’m SO happy it finally got a Kill Count! Thank you James 🙌🏻
5:44
You know that you gonna have a bad day when Shaggy is mocking you
James A. Janisse picked the right horror movie to cover for Mother's Day today.
21:25 this really does sound like something Miss puff would say
We just need a cop fish to go “Tell it to the judge”
When Molly is licking James' toes, you can see how uncomfortable the poor woman holding her is. She's just got that 'I so don't want to be here right now' face.
Lol the I don't get paid enough for this expression
"Sigh, being an intern suuuuucks..."
5:27 The 'Suburrb' Jordan Peele reference, ugh! This is why I love dead meat dude, he adds these bits without drawing ALL the attention to it. :D
The way I understood the white after Labor Day was an English tradition, that when common people started to be able to afford white clothes, the elites made an agreement to not do it. To show what class someone was if they wore white after Labor Day. But who knows. lol
I mean it does kind of make sense that a seemingly arbitrary fashion rule was dictated by a bunch of rich assholes.
I’ve heard it my entire life 😂 I think it’s just a joke at this point
Unlikely, since Labor Day is a US holiday originating in the 19th century, and has never been a thing in the UK.
I'm British and never even heard of the tradition until I watched Serial Mom (I was very confused by the whole courtroom scene as a result). As far as I know it's very much an American thing.
@@aziraphaleangel Ok, fair enough. These things always have more than one origin story.
Considering he just passed away, now might be a good time to do an extended series of Kill Counts on Roger Corman's Poe Cycle
They don't consider comment recommendations, email them if you want to be heard
I never expected to hear a Suit Life of Zach and Cody reference in a kill count but I love!
I never knew this day would come
11:00 that kill always reminded of the beginning of Jason takes Manhattan
I didn’t know a Mother could be a serial killer 😂
Lowkey missed out on covering Psycho but hopefully the franchise can get covered one day
This was the first DVD I ever owned… at the ripe old age of 7! My mother nearly turned into “Serial Mom” when she found it…
Me: I’m not sure I’ll like this movie but I’ll give it a fair shot
Matthew Lillard: *shows up*
Me: I AM 100% IN SUPPORT OF THIS FILM!!!!!
Literally one of my favorite films! Happy Mother’s Day to every type of mom 💕
So excited to see you cover this. It has always been one of mine and my moms favorite movie. We have a tradition where we watch it everytime we make our go-to pasta. It's so underrated.
Your channel has been a favorite of mine and I believe will remain in my heart for years to come! Thanks for the coverage, and fun!!!
Man james, you've just been KILLING it, i am so proud of you guys for just not only improving but also staying strong through everything. Good job.
“Honey they missed autumn big time” 😂😂😂 that’s one of my favorite jokes from Zack and Cody!
5:27 Get Out has just forever changed how people say suberb and I couldn't be happier about it
Poor Molly 23:06
Wait, Did You Make A Sleepwalking Camp: Unhappy Campers Reference?
6:40 Absolutely loved the phone call scene and subplot with Kathleen and Mink, I keep going back to watch just because it’s my favorite scene.
Great video as always, Dead Meat crew. Also, yes, Sex World IS a real movie. Its a hardcore parody of West World, where the resort matches people with robots to best help "solve their individual problems." Its surprisingly good.
Nice! Beat me to it by an hour. I got SW on laserdisc.
Um shut up
22:50 You know, I always think about how the To The Numbers bits play context less in the yearly montage and this one seems like it's going to be a weird one.
Molly looked so confused at the end there. Perfect unintentional comedy.
I am so happy this episode came out when it did bc it put Serial Mom on my radar. I just watched it with my friends and we loved it so much!
I know Cathleen Turner as the title character from the BBC's radio adaptation of the VI Warshawski novels. It's so weird seeing her play so differently, quite opposite the hard-nosed, smoking, Chicago city slicker, unmarried, private investigator.
The sandwich Mrs Jenson is having is a lamb and mint jelly sandwich they are often that green and mint goes well with lamb.
I couldn't get past the Suit Life of Zach and Cody reference in the sponsored segment, lmaoooo, I'm still cry-laughing. 😭🤣🤣🤣
18:36 Not the first bit of on stage antics by Donita of L7. One of her and the band’s most famous antics is throwing a used tampon into the crowd at the 1992 Reading Festival.
Those were the days. LMAO The L7 scene was my fave especially the close up shot of their pants had me laughing so hard at the theatre😂😂😂😂
JAMES PLZ NEVER STOP THIS CHANNEL AND PLZ KEEP MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!!!!
One of my favorites! Great to see it on the kill count. Awesome episode! Thanks!
Perfect movie for Mother’s Day 😂
Yes
Underrated horror comedy.
11:09 scream sounds familiar
Sergeant Newdeputy Anderson: He's Dead! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
R.I.P. Roger Corman. (Age 98) 😢😔😞🫡.
