woo please be good. or, yknow. at least dont get stuck buffering every minute.
streaming sites istg
aw its shudder. i do generally like the movies they back
oh well thats a new one
aaaand this logo was entirely in stopmotion. ah indie films..
oh i guess its the future. ngl i thought this was another studio logo
oh it was. they fooled me fuckin hell we're up to like, ten at this point
wwooooo television!
thank u thats useful info this is just a segment of what the 70s were like in the us
including satanic panic
i never really thought about when that was... ngl i thought it was the 80s
this movie is about a night time tv show well. from what i gathered
hi im the main character lets see if i make it through this
hee hee he told a funny joke its just like the real shows
look theyre planting horrible animals on him just like the real shows!!!
sutble.
oh dear.
but also jack is in a cult named the grove. cos why would he not be in a cult
oh look one of them is dressed as an owl. and his late night show is called night owls. wonder if the devil's just gonna be offended at the imagery
"owls jack, really??? the goat symbolism is RIGHT HERE!!"
oh well ok scrap the wife storyline then
ooh thats a good cover
oops its jerry springer now so his show went to shit ratings fell through the floor and now we get to watch te tape of the episode he filmed in the hopes it would turn around the shows ratings
thats a great setup im excited
ooh behind the scenes. so exclusive
oh its a halloween episode that does explain the theming i suppose
god damn poor cleo all the guests are spiritually themed charlatans and then theres just here tryna keep the vibes alive with some music
oh yeah they have a live band. thats usually a thing with late night shows right idk man the netherlands only has one, its only a few years old and it definitely doesnt have a live band
i. get most of my dutch news from it.
itd be neat if they did a demon themed thing at some point actually
i dont know what that means :) who is reggie jackson
what is the yankees parade
>priestess watched an american film and is surprised when she gets lost at cultural references
gotta say i think night owls is a really fun name for your audience i'd love to be called a night owl
his first guest is a medium whos like I CAN HEAR THE DEAD but also when i dont wanna hear em anymore i can turn it off!!!! wonder how thats gonna go
oh he's a cold reader.
hey ur not supposed to guess that ur supposed to let someone from the audience do that so u can hook in on that
the medium's bombing. he guessed the name of someones living ex wife
ok tried peter time to try another extremely common name
yeah i'd say that too buddy the devil leans forward in his chair
a messenger u say
jack meawhile decises to clowsn on a guy with a very nice skeleton costume
whyre u bein a dick to him jack these guys back here didnt e ven bother just sittin there in their 70s best
omfg he knows we read the twilight series together how did he know!!!!!
oh no he got a hit
he somehow guesses edmond ended his own life without fault so that's interesting unless he knows these people but idk what angle theyre going for here
god i hate spirit mediums you gotta be sick to be able to do this to grieving people
guess we'll see where the movie takes this
girl in the audience didnt buy that for one second
oh. hes having a bad time now. that's fast
ok well we're trying to cut to ads sir and our ratings are already pretty bad so if minnie can wait a few minutes that'd be great
ok well if he's faking it he's doing a great job of it.
ok well tell her we're back in five minutes if she wants to try again
omg bts! how special.
ok so thats for the next guest which. thats.
interesting.
for late night television.
the medium wants to leave but one of the producers is like NAH SON UR STAYING
aw man i wanted him to just be a charlatan. i mean he still might be but i doubt that with this line
we find out the main funders of the show are in the front row jack isnt happy about it
....is. is that ai art those are really weird looking pumpkins and bones.
cmon lads you didnt have anyone on the team who could draw that...
...is that a dig at james randi magician who made it his life's work to unmask mediums and psychics
ok well randi didnt look like this guy ever
or penn and teller. idk if randi ever had vegas shows.
but i know penn and teller continued his medium/psychic debunking
oh they might be a little more. "psychic powers are real we are just trying to find them" as opposed to "people who say they talk to the dead are hurting people and taking their money"
yeah hes. hes a believer
oh nvm he straight up IS one of these liars aw man
idk if im relieved or disappointed
fucking hell ok no he's some weird mix of james randi and a regular charlatan, this photo is him debunking uri geller (its kinda hard to see but the guy is holding a spoon and he just mentioned spoon bending) which is something james randi did i shouldnt get hung up on this but here i am rip
ok yeah no he's just james randi. i think i miscronstrued his comment about the warrens and he was making fun of them and their ghost hunting
ok yeah they even included the money randi would award to anyone who could prove their powers (surprise no one ever claimed it) hes just james randi lol rip i shoulda let this scene play out and wait
idk if im just overly passionate about this shit but the netherlands has given a lot of spirit mediums a carreer when they're all just charlatans that thrive off of people's suffering by lying to their faces like its nothing
so Ive always liked James Randi's work in debunking these frauds
but i'll try to stop going on tangents about that now during this film
meanwhile the medium proceeds to continue his pre-ads coughing fit
Car (his names carmichael and i forgot his first name sry) explains cold reading to us in an attempt to debunk the medium cold reading is guessing for information until your target (yknow, another person in the room) reacts to something you're saying and then sticking to that information and developing upon it to make them think that you know things about them while in actuality they gave you all of that information themselves
its really common with mediums
...
not even 5 minutes later too god damn
the medium walks away in offense cos i guess he thinks hes on the jerry springer show
then jack reveals the medium's fit was likely about his wife, who he nicknamed minnie dun dun duuuuun
these two talk away while we hear the mediums stomach roil away in agony becuase 1970s tv show microphones were just That Good(tm)
then he vomits some black goo i think i'd ask the medium to leave at this point, idk
hi let me remind everyone ur in a cult
WHO DIS
we'll have to wait.
squinting in is this ai generated suspicion i mean if thats a pumpkin its kinda gotta be right
what is that shape
ur new jacket doesnt go with ur pants either mr car
why are there four glasses weve only had three people out so far i guess maybe t heyre prepared idk
oh yeah one of their guests is an author and im not an expert on 70s book covers but idk man that just doesnt look 70s to me
like this is a really similar cover from around the same time idk i feel like it shouldve looked more painted. coulda prompted ur midjourney or whatever you used for that
woo a satanic cult! whats more halloween than a satanic cult
or. an abraxan. cult who is abraxas
oh the satanic dictionary
srsly how many ancient demon books are there
the cult burned to death but hail they managed to save a child from the ruins.
here she is in a stark white gown as is uniform for the possessed young woman.
here we cgi'd her onto a roof cos. we couldnt get the actress to stand on the roof, for some reason oh the writer of that book talked to the possessed girl btw.
the doctor's name is june, the girl is lily
aw shes even dressed in prime fashion for demonic possession. how thoughtful.
also thats the lady whomst the doorst shutsts on in the previous behind the scenestststrs
man why is it always girls or young women. why cant demons ever possess a 55 year old overweight road worker with rhinophyma nah gotta go for the cute girl in the onepiece dress and the occassional pinafore
god damn lily u gotta make it awkward right off the bat
shes like my whole cult died n it made me sad but you'll make it through this mr delroy
my boy abraxas talked to your boy satan and he said so
stares at the camera
OMINOUSLY!!!
i somehow know which camera is currently active
is it ai art or is it noooot? lets haave a loook
what is this?
what is going on with the inputs?
why does the owl have 9 toeeeees???? its ai!
movie why did you do this
seriously i'd rather you have no cutaways at all
now im sad ;_;
they got turned off and abraxas is very confused
jack im sorry but lily is hella possessed rn and i cant control her
he's like HELL YEAH MONEY june tells jack that lily was saying jack's name and that it seems she remembers him from somewhere
so. thats a thing
fuckin hell what indeed oh christou is the medium. i dont think i said his name
they keep having lil talks and props backstage during the bts scenes relating to whatevers gonna be on stage later and its very funny
meanwhile not!randi is still trying to debunk the medium (he doesnt know he died and stuff) the movie does imply christou was a hack who had a script to help him along
so who knows! maybe satan killed him for being a lying dick.
or abraxas.
or someone.
maybe even jesus
but probably not jesus.
so lily is uh. psychi..cally.,. infested i guess
oh lilly has two l's oops
oh jack asks so is it abraxas psyuchiciaslly infesting her?? and june says nah man its just one of his cronies and idk about lilly but if i was possessed by a demon id be fuckin pissed off someone tried to downplay it like that fuckin hell theres a lot of history on abraxas
i knew about how old the ars goetia was but theres even more and that is a little spooky
lilly's like i call my demonic infestation mister wriggles cos im thirteen and thats not stupid at all (that is stupid)
(especially when youre thirteen)
(cos then everything is stupid)
(and also lame)
omg juuuuuune you cantg say that someone should make a uquiz "which demon is inside of you?????"
get some taylor swift lyrics in there for some of the questions
anyway the sound system malfunctions, glass explodes, Car tries to explain it but Lilly says it was her demon
jack's like can we talk to ur demon pls it'd be killer for our ratings June's like no
Car's like yeah lets do it this is bullshit anyways :)
the audience is like HELL YEAH
cant forget the sponsors. gotta go to ads rn. we'll make crazy numbers we're about to summon SATAN or abraxases crony who cares it'll do the numbers
disapproves. does not think we should be summoning abraxas or satan or anyones cronies i took the devil costume off after act 1 for a reason jack cmon this is too much
hell yeah time to fuck shit up
june be angry
i am so ready oh my god pls powder my face so im ready for the cameras
yeah so gus (the music guy) is upset
jack's like look man if satan comes out the exit is over there n u can leave and also sorry if the world ends rn
im a douchebag, gus! Cant you tell from my sidemouth cigarette?
gus tells him most of the crew is scared and knows about the medium's death obvs this doesnt stop jack
were gonna go talk to satan now. or abraxo. or whoever
gee i wonder how that'll go
no need miss june im already here :)
demon cant get out of the chair cos it possessed a 13 year old girl seeu wouldnt have this problem if u possessed a burly person but noooooooo
oh no an eye!!!!
omg she upset the demon. that wasnt very nice of u dr june
ooh demonic mockery. why dont they ever do that in the churches for real
like ppl only ever seem to scream and then fall down
live a little at first at least, cmon
omg abraxos dont tell him!!! kyaa so embarrassing
june tries to bring lilly back but it doesnt look like it worked
lily starts flying like a right little alice in wonderland
it seems lilly is back or at least car and jack seem comfortable enough to intervene
jack's like hi im evil can we get u to do that to the little girl like, once a week pls we do this at my cult alll the time dont worry about it!!
then hes like ok lemme cut her free with this real ritual knife we have for halloween for some reason
meanwhile gus is told off for not liking the satan shenanigans
also doesnt like the satan shenanigans but for different reasons at this point in the movie i feel like if satan were to manifest car would offer him $100k
oh but we did just learn car didnt know the medium died until just now. so. lets see if that comes into play
but uh yeah night owls doin numbers. so jack and his producer are very happy
fuckin hell cleo is still waiting to bring the vibes poor miss cleo the more shit goes down the harder its gonna be to bring it back with those soothing 70s jazz tones
Acea: yeah let her sing gdi
lillys like idk what happened also look from this angle it looks like my nose lights up hee hee
car is like "i wanna make it clear i care utmost about this girls wellbeing [about to go off into a debunking rant" and june takes offense
lilly pulls away from junes hand which isnt surprising rly since june wrote a fuckin book about what she went through and, yknow, is now on tv with her
junes all like weh weh jack we shouldnt do this on tv this is evil but THEN WHY DID U WRITE A BOOK
WHY AREU ON THE SHOW
car is somehow going to prove that what happened with lilly was bs by using gus as a volunteer
he said it was hypnosis so thats what hes doing now to gus i mean
Car hypnotised Gus and and the audience to somehow all see the same thing
gus does not think his wife would still love him if he was worm(s)
oops Car can't snap Gus out of it. Lilly is having fun tho
oh nvm he's fine. the effects just went a bit wild :) that was gross and kinda cool
im glad hes ok
i mean at this point who knows if u can do that
couldnt see it. disappointed. or did see it and is disappointed it was fake. who knows
they show the tape back and that Car suggested to Gus how to behave which is kinda cool like it means he hypnotised the audience at home as well, so yknow, the viewer
meeeee Acea: Whys there a lil monkey
its a tumblr meme
live gus reaction
gdi well u better pay her for waiting
they show lilly's tape from earlier and omg shes still possessed so that wasnt hypnosis.
ffs jack was like pls go one frame at a time!! and i thought it was gonna be subtle but NAH MAN HERE'S A GHOSTLY WOMAN WITH A SOUND EFFECT TO BOOTH its his wife btw.
still in full debunk mode
lilly electrocutes jack somehow
this is a thing she does now electricity up the wazoo
its probably a bit late for that
cos. she looks like this now
yeh im sure if christ didnt work "lilly to me" will work just as well as it did the first time
ffs can u stop with the gods please
but uh yeah hes a satanist now cos of course hes a fraud.
HAHAHA HE REALLY DID OFFER HER THE MONEY THAT'S GREAT
but yeah it didnt work theyre all dead except for jack and the background music as demonstrated by the hard of hearing subs. and the audience is running out so theyre probably ok too
took u long enough, god damn
stares demon down still grateful for the ratings
this should be good
pondering if he should mention theyre about to cut to ads or not
:)
its gus! I miss him already.
jacks like nani but everyone died and lilly had two faces
jacks having flashbacks to his older episodes
please bring back the tarantula i do not wish to have the giant worm upon me thank you
oh yeah he also kinda exploited his dying wife for television cos she came on an episode and died two weeks later so, theres that
terribly sorry were subjecting you to the memories of our host that wasnt supposed to happen please standby
omg its perpetual tv i. assume
are we in jack's hell
look man give me nine more minutes and i will
oh u know only my soul
oh
hey its skeleton guy! knew you shouldnt have made fun of him
what could his sacrifice beeeeee
dun dun duuuuuuun
lilly's eyes turned green when she was possessed, just like minnie's eyes
he says to the camera
he imagines mercy killing his wife at her request but when he snaps out of it its actually lilly??
...thank you for watching everybody this was Night Owls with your host Jack Delroy
hes trying to break out of hypnosis
rip
omg siblings again. maybe i should try to write a movie with my sister Joker: Honestly, this feels like this should have been a tvshow rather than a movie - like each scene should have been an "episode" of Jack's old show while cutting back to the behind the scenes with the "final" being that weird recap-mishmash
Joker: Also no AI art eye-catches
yeah i agree i think that couldve worked real well
have a bit more of a slow build up
and yeah no ai art haha
