I love how I have dropout but I still watch episodes here
SAME
Same man, it's just a better video platform but they still deserve my $5 a month, the content is 🔥
same. I have dropout for like D20 and stuff, but this is a better video player, imo (though the captioning on dropout is much better)
What a mood
Same 😂
An unbroken tradition of horror episodes being the most supportive and friendly!
The horror movie episode feels like the most joyful and friendly. Great set of contestants
Honestly, great vibes from them all
And the most viciously competitive one was the musical theater episode.
Guy who watches serial killers Disembowel teenagers: Win or lose, this game's going to be fun.
Guy who watches Barbara Streisand belt out "Don't Rain on my Parade": I'll fucking kill all you fuckers if I don't win!
Similar vibe to the wrestling episode and then there is the cut throat world of musicals.
I love the vibe of this show. It’s a game show but the feel is just a group of friends getting together to do some nerdy trivia and they can just talk in between questions. Absolutely fantastic
Fun fact (on the topic of Betty White switching roles): On "The Golden Girls," Betty White was originally cast to blay Blanch, and Rue McClanahan was cast to play Rose, but they both agreed to switch roles, because they thought the characters both were too similar to roles they played in the past.
Betty was constantly going back and forth between sweet and nasty in her characters. In The Mary Tyler Moore show her character was an alpha b*cth who affected sweet for the public, then Rose Nylund and then the acerbic Elka Ostrovsky. She really knew that to keep things fresh she had to mix things up.
Fun fact: in Candyman, the main actress was hypnotized for the scenes where she gets visions, because the director wanted a real trippy expression from her. The actress demanded that the hypnosis stops when she started blacking out randomly throughout the day.
Um, Actually- as someone who saved my own butt after being caught in a rip current, the current is strongest UNDER the water. You swim to the SURFACE and then swim at a sideways diagonal toward the shore. This is life-saving information that should not have been left out!!!
The ocean is the IRL horror villain. Tidal waves are the slow chase you can never outrun!
However you are incorrect. That is true of undertow, not of rip currents which are strongest at the surface.
@@csn583 It's still insane to tell people to go under the surface of the water to swim away. As I said, I was caught in a riptide, and I was nearly drowning from the powerful force. What really saved my life was swimming to the surface because the water wanted to drag me down and keep me down. Perhaps that's because it's stronger at the surface, but that would mean surfacing for air is harder. So the main takeaway here is- do NOT go under the water. Stay up and try floating, if you're not strong enough to swim.
One of the best parts about Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is that Frankenstein creates the monster in the span of about one paragraph, and procedes to describe how beautiful it actually is. It isn't until he sees the monsters eyes that he gets freaked out.
He truly rated the rest of the monster a 10/10, but the vaguely discomforting eyes ruined the whole thing. Frankenstein is shallow as hell >_
The eyes aren't the only thing wrong, I think he also says it is abnormally pale, especially the lips.
It is also notable the movie is where we get the made from body parts from, The book doesn't say exactly what, or exactly HOW Frankenstein makes the monster
@@Sojoboscribe I know right! Every movie since just takes for granted he is dead people, but for all we know he grew him in a vat.
@madestmadhatter I think they say he's made of "filth"
.
I had the dead thing disabused from me rather forcefully when I asked how Frankenstein's concerns about him and a bride fathering a race of them would work if he just has human testicles
And, of course, the book monster is smart and articulate, with no groans and limited vocabulary,
Someone said that the most accurate adaptation of the real one was probably the one in Penny Dreadful.
It's one of those things where it *looks* perfect while still, but once it takes motion, the Uncanny Valley hits *hard*
Another reason space is so appealing to horror movies is because the victims can't just leave, like a lot of the time horror movies get really contrived in creating reasons for them not to run, but if you're in space, you're in space, the best you can do is an escape pod, and then you set it up so they're on the opposite side of the ship with the monster between.
Um actually Igor was a once hung criminal who was "friends" with the monster, by which I mean he was directing him to kill the men who sentenced him to be hung.
I misread that as "Igor was once a hung criminal" which I did not need to know :)
It's funny how they brought up the ocean at the end, because being in a ship in the middle of the Pacific is just as scary and confined in a lot of ways - the original Outer Space, and in many ways it still is. Plus if the ship goes down with the monster in it but you make it out alive, you can end the movie with a loooong pullback of the character just hanging on to a bit of wood in a vast ocean...but then cheapen it by revealing in the sequel they got really lucky and happened to get picked up in the nick of time.
@@jerodast or have the monster's arm burst from the water at the last minute
Um actually, Henry Frankenstein DOES have a hunchbacked assistant in the 1931 film, however his name is Fritz and not Ygor.
I love these horror episodes so much. The guests are always great and i feel like my lifetime of watching horror movies finally comes in handy
It's funny that they went on about how the Xenomorph that appeared in Alien wasn't one that was featured in the crossover AVP, ignoring that the Predator from the first Predator movie was also dead and every subsequent film in the franchise featured different members of the species.
Not to mention the question *actually* said "creatures from Alien" *not* "creature from Alien" so it clearly meant xenomorphs in general. It would be like if the question said "the forest dwelling creatures from Revenge of the Sith" and Mark implied the question said "Chewbacca" and wasn't just implying "Wookiees" Betsy should have gotten that point for actually bringing up what the question was looking for. Typically when people start picking apart the question, he'll say "that may be true, but that's not what we're looking for" Trapp f*cked up not looking at the wording of the question again.
@@RyanConnell5150 Even so, she shouldn't get the point, because she did not say "Um, actually" before giving her answer. Plus, arguably, the "creatures" refer to the creatures of all the various media. So for me, being exceptionally pedantic is in the spirit of the game. It's why there are certain points I think should have still been awarded, because being picky about wording is acceptable. Heck, the question is still picky in what was the correct answer. Would be like saying Pocket Monsters as the "incorrect" statement for a Pokemon question.
Um, Actually there WAS a hunchback lab assistant in the 1931 Frankenstein movie - he just wasn't named Igor. He was named Fritz, and was played by Dwight Frye, who is more remembered for playing Renfield in Dracula, also released in 1931.
Other than the name, the character Fritz is a dead ringer for the "Igor" stock character as immortalized by pop cultural memory. It's likely at some point the name just got mixed up with the later character played by Lugosi (that character also had a bodily deformation, but it was a twisted neck, the result of a botched hanging).
the haunting of hill house also not to be confused with the board game betrayal at house on the hill
Would absolutely love to see James A Janisse from Dead Meat do one of these episodes!!
Only if it’s both him and Chelsea!
14:11 why does Mark get the point? Betsy brought up the thing you were looking for. And the question was worded as "the creatureS from Alien" plural. Which would imply the xenomorph species, not the specific xenomorph from the first movie. That would be like saying "the creatures who live on Kashyyyk in Episode 3" and then Mark bringing up Chewbacca specifically. The whole question is worded around Franchise names (with the exception of Freddy and Jason)
Odd, it's true and, though no one mentioned it, Betsy did not say "Um actually".
It feels fitting that they are re-releasing this episode now right before January and the wave of terrible horror movies
you're not pumped for M-three-ghan?
re releasing? when was this first released
@@christopherrobinson8627on Dropout
@@christopherrobinson8627 The question about the Conjuring Universe movies should have been a giveaway that this is an old episode. If Conjuring 3 wasn't out yet, then this episode is AT LEAST a year and a half old, probably more.
@@jasonschuler2256 yes based on the fact they’re recorded remotely i would venture to say this is a substantial backlog
I actually got the Sadako answer (Japanese Ringu ftw, y'all) and felt the most overwhelming sense of pedantry of all time, while being 100% sure no one else on the panel would get it. Well done, writers!
I'd never even heard of Sadako until Dead By Daylight had her as a licensed killer, and to this day I still can't help but refer to her as Samara 😭
@MushPurTayTur even though they are drastically different characters?
Sadako was hit on the head and killed as a young adult by a rapist professor that was skeeved out by her testicles.
Samara got killed as a young girl by her horse crazy mother suffocating her with a garbage bag.
;)
They even get different looks, samara is way more blue tinted and drenched looking
I really liked this episode. I guess its good to have people who are genuinely interested in the topics who are, like, fascinated to learn all this trivia you're giving them.
To be fair Igor is kind of an assistant in Son of Frankenstein. He helps Wolfe Frankenstein find the monster and helps him bring the monster back to life but it's for his own gain to have the monster kill the people who had him sentenced to death and thus made his back broken when they tried
Everyone remembers Igor as Dr. Frankenstein's assistant from the Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein.
I love everyone on this episode but seeing Oscar's sweet and shining friend-shaped face brings me a different kind of serotonin straight to my core
They should do a reverse "Um, Actually" where all the questions are Real Life Skills and the last question is the only nerdy one lol
You could get survival experts like Les Stroud and Bear Grills to be the challengers
except the questions are like "where do you put the salad fork" "what form do you file for business taxes" "when are california nusicence laws cut off"
@@suemccashland "which way should you turn your tires when parked on a hill?"
"Should you pee on a jellyfish sting?"
"What's the ideal temperature to cook chicken to?"
Great episode, great energy and knowledge across all competitors.
ive never seen a single horror movie but the joy betsy has for horror movies makes me want to lol
You should. Good horror movies can be an amazing spectacle. Bad horror movies can be hilarious.
This was such a fun episode, it deserves more views! The camaraderie these three have was real fun, and it was great that it was so close and they all obviously knew their stuff.
the vibes of this ep are absolutely immaculate, i love these contestants!!
The reason horror movies in space are a thing is that it amplifies the claustrophobia and aloneness.
Jason in a forest, you can run and he will chase you. Jason in space, you can't go anywhere.
Jason in a forest, you can call the cops or park rangers to come and help (die instead), Jason in space, no-one can come (in a reasonable way or time frame) to help.
Um Actually, they never mentioned the date of the recording so I very confidently said that there are three Conjuring movies which would be correct today. Still got 6 points tho 😁
Yeah they uploaded an episode on November 18th 2022 which was 2 days before the Walking Dead season 11 finale and Trapp was talking about how the show was *going into* its 11th season and that there was going to be a Daryl and Carol spinoff and 3 Rick Grimes movies. But by thy time the series concluded 2 days after the Um Actually upload it had been known for months that there's 3 spinoffs: one with Negan & Maggie called The Walking Dead: Dead City, one with only Daryl called Daryl Dixon, and a 3rd spinoff about Rick & Michonne in place of the 3 films. And The World Beyond show had already aired in its entirety. So who knows how old that Um, Actually episode was.
Betsy is literally a treat every video I see her in, be it on here or on Dead meat. She seems like a genuinely rad person
I'm way too proud of myself for knowing the correct answer for the Ring girl when they didn't get it
shit I've broken the code! The SECOND he said "rip current" I said, "swim parallel to the shore" cause that's ALWAYS what fucks people up XP
I think the reason why Child's play/chucky franchise never went to space is because Don Mancini has been the creative force behind the series the whole time. As opposed to a lot of franchies like Friday the 13th and The Leprechaun movies the studio is in control with the creative direction. So they probably legit think "Oh, we havent done a space on yet and every horror franchise has to go to space at some point".
As a Floridian, the real life skills question for this one was super easy. In Florida, pretty much everyone learns in school what to do in a rip current since it's a given that you'll be going to the beach. I was actually caught in a rip current one time and I just relaxed, let it take me out and calmly paddled parallel to the shore until it spit me out and then I calmly paddled my way back to shore, all the while conserving energy. When it happened I was like "Oh I know what to do" and so I wasn't scared. Actually it was kind of fun the way the current just took me out and then let me go. If you were to put dye in a rip current and look at it from above, it would form a sort of mushroom shape with the current pulling you out to sea and then at a certain point the current just dissipates and spreads out. That's part of the reason to just swim parallel to the beach, cause you're working with the current instead of against it, and if you're lucky you can exit the current early by swimming out of the side of it.
I was in a very light ripcurrent that had a very similar speed to my swimming speed. It was strange to practically not move while in it, only to be able to stand up and walk out of it.
It's probably not what you guys wanted corrections on, but for public safety, rip currents (more popularly known as riptides) are stronger beneath the surface of the water, making them much more dangerous.
So the 90's house on haunting hill was filmed at universal orlando. The coaster at the beginning is the hulk in islands of adventure. I was working a shift at the backwater bar at IOA and that movie came on on the TV and it threw me off lol
Everyone remembers the hunchbacked assistant in the 1931 Frankenstein movie because that character does exist. He's just not named Igor. In that movie he is named Fritz.
Um actually, the original script had you saying "candyman" THIRTEEN times, not five. They ending up changing it to five during filming because they thought that listening to the actors say the same word over and over thirteen times would bore audiences
I mean, probably if they said it really fast, it wouldn't be boring, but it would be hilarious :)
Um actually in Pokemon Sword and Shield people discovered that because the battle timer was shorter, if you run a defensive stall team using all shiny Pokemon the animation that happens on reveal adds just enough time that it is a tactical advantage and you could win running the time out.
I think the "Xenomorph from Alien" correction is my favorite one since "Large Luigi."
My quick research of igor just now shows that the hunchback with that name originated in a public conception of the story through a combination of points from various comic sketch parodies of frankenstein, and other monster stories, from the 1960s
Great group of contestants. Really fun episode.
Um actually you didn't include videogame questions so now you have to do a horror video game episode! Still great episode.
growing up in socal has drilled riptide safety into my brain I was READY with that answer
I was was almost SCREAMING at work saying “ITS SADAKO, NOT SAMARA!”
Hell yeah! This episode is definitely one of the all time best.
I always thought the voice was a bit. Cool to see the person behind such an unique voice
Um actually, the Frankenstein movie was based off of a play/opera of Frankenstein which is, in turn, based off of the Mary Shelley novel. This is the reason that the monster does not speak whereas in the book the Monster is rather talkative and philosophical!
Ed and Loraine were also part of Ammityville Horror
the 1999 version of House on Haunted Hill is *amazing* and the soundtrack gives me nightmares when I listen to just it.
How the hell have am I just finding out that Candyman is based off of a Clive Barker story?
It's funny because most of the Hellraiser sequels were actually regular movie scripts that they bought and then just like added Hellraiser into it lol
Betsy didn't say um, actually on the Ring question!!
Is that her actual voice, or is she doing Chuckie Finster?
Fun Easter Egg, in Lepricorn in space, you can see the Mellenium Falcon.
Perhaps a better name for "What's wrong with this picture?" would be "Picture Imperfect"
(Um, actually) I always thought that the neck bolts and the monstrous walk are not original to the movie of 1931, but those were already part of the character from the several stage productions of the same story.
I wonder if the Igor thing is a combination of Dracula and Frankenstein where when people think of Igor, they're actually thinking of Renfield. I'm not sure where the hunch back comes from though.
i would like to thank this episode for unintentionally leading me to one of the scenes referenced in the opening sequence of Chainsaw Man
Ok we need to get James Rolfe in on one of the horror themed episodes. Make it happen Nintendo.
Fun thing about horror in space is the "there's no escape" fear has a double meaning. You can't really escape the killing floor because...space, but also that you are so unlikely to escape this movie monster that it'll chase your ass to another planet
"Airplanes...tell me what they aaare".
Gold.
Great episode as always. I really hope to see more of this. This is honestly my favorite thing to watch on this crappy app
I enjoyed a lot how much fun they were having!
Holy crap the chemistry is awesome and this episode was hilarious
I actually just remembered "the haunting" the other day. Been trying to remember it for years. Only thing i remembered was the lion head fireplace scene.
I love your show guys
I loved The Haunting. Scared the hell outta 13 year old me.
Dr Frankenstien has a hunchback assistant named Fritz
great guests
Traps bee stung face is amazing. Maybe he's a clay face and we never knew.
Turns out the Nun 2 isn't out until September 2023.
I want to toss Mark some love. I don't think you see such a good reference for how a person can be charming as him this episode.
Could you imagine if House from the medical drama went around saying "Ding Dong, you're dead"
The warrens lived in our neighborhood. I grew up walking distance to their house. So weird to hear they have so many movies.
One reason why horror franchises in space are more terrifying is because unlike a mansion on a stormy night, the victims are actually stuck in one place. They cannot move outside or else they'll die. There is also no help, and one wrong move, and the entire spacecraft goes down, or at least I think so.
A special horror episode out just in time for New Year's! (Yes, I know it was on Dropout first, but even the free version couldn't be for Halloween?)
They released a Christmas episode in July, guess they're spreading the joy around lol
They released an episode on November 18th 2022 with the first question talking about Season 10 of the Walking Dead finishing, and how there's a Carol and Daryl spinoff and 3 Rick Grimes movies in the works. 2 days later the 11th and final season ended and we all had known for months that it's just a Daryl spinoff now and the 3 movies are now a Rick & Michonne series. They don't care about timeliness when uploading the Dropout episodes here.
Just in time for Halloween!
Everyone knows the assistent in the 1931 Frankenstein movie is called Fritz, come on guys! 😉
This was a great episode!
I was hoping for a 3way tie at the last question.
This episode technically became a podcast 😂
This is the only version of this where I had any idea of the answers.
This is wholesome, but also how do they not know so many of the answers???
Wait, how long ago do they record these if the latest Conjuring and Nun movies hadn't been released yet?
These are still on zoom so this would have been during the pandemic
Possible correction on the Frankenstein question. The 1931 film is adapted from a play, which may have originated the damaged brain. Not sure about the neck bolts, didn't find any images on a quick google search.
Um actually, I'm not sure about the actual story, but the movie CandyMans are Incredibly inconsistent about calling him. Ffs, one of the FIRST attacks is him killing someone who didn't say it 5 times, rather the person who said it ONCE in addition to someone else's 4....He loves to break his own rules.
"The only thing more terrifying than the last 12 minutes of this movie is the first 92."
I love that they're basically just saying "The end of the movie is not as scary."
No it's basically saying that the first 90% of the movie is so bad that it's scary.
Normally comedy would make fun of a concept after it happened. In the case of Jason X, MAD Tv did a parody of Apollo 13, called Apollo the 13th, Jason Takes NASA in 1998. Jason X came out in 2001. I would bet real money the writer of Jason X was watching MAD Tv and called up the execs at New Line really quick.
Um, actually, then that isn't the ring, it's ringu
Lol it's new years and they post the Halloween episode. I love it!!!!
Years of watching Dead Meat has prepared me for this day
Um actually there is a hunchback assistant in the 1931 Frankenstein film but his name is Fritz.
fun fact: Pazuzu is a commonly used in Gorillaz lore and imagery even appearing on the Gorillaz D-Sides album
Um, actually... The Candyman is a memetic being with reality shifting abilities. Although the movie appears to contain his origins, recall that these were always conveyed orally and thus are subject to unreliable narration. In reality, Candyman is much older than the 1800's. He is an immortal concept. Just like Helen and Anthony were eventually drawn in and became part of candyman lore, so it was in the 1800's when Daniel Robitaille was murdered - he was not candyman, he *became* candyman.
Lol, when was this filmed? The nun 2 isn't out until later this year by estimation, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It came out in 2021
Umm actually. Pazuzu is the professor's gargoyle thing in Futurama
"Doesn't that just make you believe in God tho"? Betsy from left field killed me and everyone else who didn't see that comming.
When is the series going back to in-person?
The Hills Have Eyes 2 really should have been called The Hills Have 2 Eyes.
I believe there WAS a hunchback assistant character in the Universal Frankenstein, but his name was Fritz, not Igor.
