Ouija

🕯️🕯️🕯️ BC:SF attempts to contact the other side, or at least the ghost of Stiles White’s directorial career as we discuss 2014’s Ouija. 🕯️🕯️🕯️

Topics include: Pronunciation, the “McG Parasite”, recounting the Blumhouse run of the time, another Ben movie pitch in the Night Swimaverse, what kind of Ouija-kid were you, device talk and more! 

Movie Begins at 2:09

Comments

I’m imagining the commentary slump of Saw 3 thru 5, as Griffin doesn’t feel compelled to stomach the onslaught of gore, while David builds up the hype to the magnum opus of Saw 6, and every episode Ben’s just stoked about every scene, because everything’s wet, chainy, dirty

FW Wang

13 comedy points

Matt Koelling

Anyone else love Thoroughbreds? It's such an insanely underrated movie

Dylan Murray

The mighty 3!!!!!! It’s on Amazon for like $150 connects to Spotify

Laura Horstmann

Still rocking my SanDisk Sansa for MP3s. Otherwise I recommend Plex music as a way to store and organize your music

Donald W Pratt

You don’t even need to do that: the key is _buy your music_ download it, and sync it to whatever device you feel like using. Apple Music can’t fuck that up, even if you’re using an iPhone.

Richard Rush

Yeah this is a fun time capsule haha, I’m sure it will not be long before the subject is revisited

Rad Rodge

She is indeed incredible on that show

Rad Rodge

Rated Ouija-13

Jasper Francisco

David should go full hip hop simms and start carrying around a boombox on his shoulder

Ben mahorney

this is one of my favorite episodes in recent memory. i love when the movie sucks so bad they just ignore it and get nerdy about movie shit

ian

The De Niro archive is actually already housed at the University of Texas at Austin! I think they first acquired it a decade or so ago, but they’ve recently started research access.

Sam

shout out Ruf-Dawg from Gossip Girl also shoutout XOXO Gossip Kings 👑

Austin McDougle

Cassette! Cassette! I’ve been picking up cassettes, Ben. I feel validated it’s his suggestion for David’s music woes.

Danielle

I still have an old school iPod rocking my car. But the click wheel is broken so it only works in my car.

Matthew Comegys

Listening to this episode thinking, “stop talking about the movie and get back to complaining about how they don’t make iPods anymore.” (Not a joke)

Re: Blue Velvet episode. I originally discovered Blank Check by way of the Cracked Movie Podcast! Do my own movie podcast now, but our format is shifting back and forth between the 100 highest rated and 100 lowest rated films as voted by IMDb uses. No Lynch on either list, which is a little sad, but I could slip one in as we do get birthday picks (guess I ripped that off from P:TR).

Matthew Comegys

I use a 2005 iPod mini that I found lying around the house, and it works (mostly) fine. I bet a refurbished one would do the job nicely. I did have to buy a new charger for it but it was only like $8 on Amazon.

rachel

Thank you for calling them skeets like they are officially called

GirlDicta

I voted for Ernest…just saying

Jeffery Harharwood

The Luigi board?!

ian

When are we doing the episode where Marie identifies actors that have the "V" cut body?

Storm chaser Jay

I’ve been using the AIR FYC Cassette player, and I added a bluetooth tape for when I need something I don’t own, for now.

Andrew J. Eisenman

My ex gave me a Ouija board that she bought at “The Demented Toy Store” in Chicago. The Ouija board was fine but turns out that she was possessed.

Brandon Skidmore

Guys when I was 14 I stumbled upon the premier of Twin Peak and I never missed and episode for 2 years. Own the soundtrack on cassette. I'm currently rewarewatching the original series and the wave of nostalgia that are crushing my soul are unbearable. I cannot believe the caste the assembled for this. About 30% of the episodes have that perfect lynchian weirdness that makes me a 14 YO again.

Reed mikkelsen

The rdj tangent towards the end was dead on lmaoo

Chris

David!!!!!! The Poweramp app rules. Pop your albums in the music folder on your phone (if you have an iTunes folder you can just straight copy the whole thing). Buy albums from Bandcamp / rip cds / sail the high seas.

Shane Warbrooke

I’m reminded why I didn’t vote for this series.

Colin

There's this flood of music you can find online, some people might call it torrential

Trevor Talley

Terribly sad that Douglas Smith’s fine work in The Bye Bye Man went unremarked upon

Eleum Loughney

House of the Dragon got hit hard by the writer’s strike last season but the things Olivia Cooke is able to do on that show with just her eyes is insane.

Antonio Melgar

I think I might’ve voted for this series back in March…but damn, Pulp Heroes probably would’ve been better, huh?

CT

Episode poll! Which conversation did you enjoy most; Mike Flanagan’s career musings, Olivia Cooke miscellaneous, portable music player talk, The Boogeyman box office game, Lin Shaye shoutout, or Griffin snitching on Barry Josephson?

Dustin

and Cate Planchette

DJV

None of that has anything to do with your comment being annoying, but alright.

Justin Hoover

I promise you, I get that. Annoying comments usually aren’t that deep. Also you genuinely used “triggered”? Yeesh.

Justin Hoover

Sorry. Didn’t mean to trigger you that wasn’t my intention. Just having fun.

Peter Klaven

I’ll never understand why some people care so much about what movies the hosts watch. They’re entertaining to listen to talk about anything who gives a shit what movie they’re talking over?

Justin Hoover

How dare you call Daemon Targaryen a bastard

Matthew O'Reilly

I keep a few albums on my phone at any given time! I use MusicBee on my PC to manage my library and DoubleTwist on my Pixel. I also use DoubleTwist as my podcast app. Neither are as good as old iTunes + iPod, but what could be. Also, I have a few invites to Redacted (formerly PassTheHeadphones), which is currently the best private torrent tracker for music. An inferior successor to the late, great What.CD. Technically "publicly giving away invitations is prohibited," but this is sort of a private community? DM me if you're interested.

DW

Could David get a Zune?

Ben Thomson

Maybe it’s my new crazy pills, but I kinda like the table top series cos it feels like the beginning of spooky/cozy season 🍁🍂🧩🎲

Chas Ellenburg

If you're looking to expand on Weekend at Bernies and make it a series, how about Mannequin or Men at Work?

Kevin

Ooh wee! They're talking ouija to me.

mikey GOLDSMITH

dBPowerAmp rip everything at whatever quality you want (even the 24bit from your HDCDs), convert to whatever quality you want. mp3tag to tag everything, and do bulk renames.

Christopher Teuma

I'm honestly pretty Sad Flanagan is moving away from TV last I heard he was doing the Dark Tower

Spencer Pommier

i still have mp3s/albums downloaded in my Apple Music app that i sync from a library on my computer. i think it’s possible to use the app like this alongside streaming, although i haven’t tried bc i still use Spotify.

jacob p. cupps

Board now 😴

Manish Agarwal

David saying he kind of likes John Moore is a baffling take!

Title Nerd

I love this show so much. Always makes my day.

Deren Ney

David's solution is an older Android phone that supports Micro SD cards. Slap in a 500gb card in one. Delete or disable every app that isn't the default music player or find a decent music player app (I have one literally just called Music Player). Yes, you'll need to download all your stuff from an official website or go through the effort to torrent it or whatever. If you haven't maintained your personal download library for the last like 15 years it will suck ass to start over, but I never stopped. It's been worth it.

Onslaught Six

This film is bright enough to kill a vampire.

Tom Lowery

Funny timing with the RDJ talk at the end, clearly recorded before the Dr. Doom announcement

T.C

maybe she wanted to talk about boobs

Jordan B. Anderson

Oh I remember you— Christ dude, we were literally trying to contact my dead grandmother.

Alexis T Akridge

Also, Witchboard is the superior movie about a parkers brothers property

Ray

We would have been watching American wedding or the Waterboy and Highlander 4 right now but nooooooooo 😂😂 We gotta do better for them and ourselves. Loving the convo anyway. Can’t wait for the new dungeons and dragons episode though.

Peter Klaven

So I don't believe in ghosts or Ouija boards, but the one time I used it we let go early without closing "the link" and the guy I was with tragically passed a couple years later. On my birthday. Very coincidental. And sad. But also ghosts?

Ray

i was the kid that claimed i wasn't moving it but i was trying really hard to make it say stuff like 'boobs'
