All about Evil
01:09:01
About
September features a double bill of “Camp Horror”, and we kick off with “All About Evil” directed by Joshua Grannell aka Peaches Christ. A film for movies lovers everywhere as talking on your phone in the cinema becomes a capital crime; Elvira embraces her maternal side; and Mink Stole learns the end of that rhyme about snitches. “All About Evil” always felt set to be a cult classic and deserves far greater recognition. Now, with Natasha Lyonne’s star in the ascendant, streaming on Shudder and an excellent bluray from Severin Films, hopefully more people will get to see this macabre comedy - watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.

UnknownGood evening and welcome to Horror.
LeeI'm Lee.
ChrisI'm Chris.
AdamI'm Adam.
LeeAnd we are here for episode 151, who'd have thought we'd have made it this far?
AdamThe thing is.
LeeThe
Chrisone of us maybe, but.
AdamIt's it it does explain why we sort of top-loaded the first 30 episodes.
ChrisYeah.
LeeYeah.
AdamWell, yeah, after a while we got to like, we'll get round to it.
LeeYeah.
AdamBut.
ChrisBut they still keep coming, they still keep coming.
AdamThat's true. And reassuringly they keep making them. Yes, ones that are either worth watching or, you know, genuinely good or worth knowing about.
LeeOr worth ripping to pieces because you hate them so much.
ChrisOh, oh, oh, is that a hint?
LeeNo, no.
LeeSo, definitely not for this evening's episode, we are here for the first part of our Camp Horror month with the quite frankly spectacular spoiling it already. 2010 movie All About Evil.
LeeA movie that myself and Adam were marginally obsessed with when it first came out, and oh my God, does it hold up?
LeeBut before we get too excited, just to remind you all, there will be spoilers and there will be swearing, so buckle the fuck up, because it is coming.
Lee
AdamI think, I think before we, I think before we embark on our Camp Horror.
Adamthing.
AdamI've just going to read this out, which is a quote from Susan Sontag, which is, so we're, we're very.
AdamVery suffice on this, yeah, you know.
AdamYes.
Adamdefining, she had a essay notes on camp, and camp.
AdamA sensibility that revels in artifice, stylisation, theatricalisation, irony, playfulness and exaggeration, rather than content.
AdamNow.
AdamI'm not sure about the last part, but I think it does definitely embrace the two movies that we've picked, certainly.
LeeOh, without a shadow of a doubt.
LeeAnd I've got to say of all of my favorite sub-genres, it's this and comedy horror for me.
LeeLike I love my gore and slashers and I like my real horror.
LeeBut comedy horror and camp horror, particularly, I just love to bits.
AdamThey're they're pretty much the same.
AdamIn many ways, you know, I think, I mean, a horror itself.
Adamhas a camp element anyway.
Lee
AdamYou know, hammer can be camp, it's anything that's sort of, because, you know, as soon as it's melodrama, that's camp, essentially, on this, certainly on that sort of quote.
AdamSo I think it's, it's, it's a vein that runs through it and I think that's why.
AdamCertainly sort of people such as Peaches Christ embrace horror so much, you know.
AdamI think it's.
LeeYeah.
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah.
LeeAnd and I am going to get to you Chris because obviously I want your first thoughts.
LeeBut just while I'm thinking of it, because you've mentioned it, yeah, one of the main things I loved about it.
LeeI knew we were in for a good ride the first time we put this in the DVD player, when that title sequence started running and it was all those classic amazing movies that they switched.
LeeAnd I was like, right, this is someone who knows what they're talking about, really cares about horror.
Leeyeah, and I was like, right, this isn't just, because I think I'd heard about it from one person and they'd gone mental over it.
LeeBut I was like, well, it's only one person's opinion, but on person's opinions.
LeeLet's jump to Chris, Chris on your first viewing.
LeeWhat did you make of All About Evil?
ChrisSo.
ChrisNow, it takes me a little bit to fully appreciate a slasher.
Lee
ChrisI think I've said that before.
Christhis this has got everything going for it.
ChrisSo now I I was trying to see who I recognized.
ChrisI do only recognize Natasha Lyonne.
LeeYeah.
AdamNatasha Lyonne.
ChrisYeah, Lyonne.
ChrisOkay.
Chrisyeah, from American Pie originally and or at least that's the first thing I saw in and then Russian Doll.
Chrisbut yeah, and she always comes across as as likable but deep and slightly edgy.
Chrisbut yeah, and so so I guess what I would like is is for both of you to to tell me it to talk about it so that yeah.
ChrisI think I want to fully appreciate it from your perspectives first.
LeeThat's fair.
LeeThat sounds good.
LeeAdam, would you like to.
AdamWell, I well on the sort of back story of it, who was it who recommended it to you, Lee?
AdamBecause I can't remember.
LeeSo I used to listen to a podcast called Drunken Zombie.
LeeAnd they used to have a guy called Patrick who used to call in.
Leeand he was mental, like seriously, he used to, when he used to do his phone ins, he used to do it walking down the street and he'd just stopped to scream at people in the street.
LeeLike he was entertaining, but he was a big part of the LGBTQ scene in, New York at the time.
LeeSo when the film got launched, he got invited to the opening thing.
Leeand he did a whole episode on it basically saying, look, me and my boyfriend got tickets, we went, we got lost on the way to the theater, it was pissing down with rain and we weren't ready, we didn't have time to eat, like, I got to the theater and couldn't have been less in the mood for the film.
LeeHe said, and I came away having one of the greatest cinema experiences of my life because it was, the film was outstanding.
LeeAnd all the hype and everything that went on with it was phenomenal.
LeeAnd he just raved about it so much and obviously he mentioned that Mink Stole was in it and Cassandra Peterson was in it.
Leeand I was like, oh my God.
LeeLike I need to get hold of this.
Leeand it was still in a pre-order situation, so I pre-ordered it.
ChrisSo.
Leeyeah, and when it turned up, I I held on to it for two days because I was like I can't watch it without Dean and Adam.
LeeBut I was like, oh, I can't wait, yeah, and that first time of just us sitting down and cracking a beer and watching it was like.
ChrisRight, so let me let me interject slightly then, so why, I don't know why, I'm slightly uncomfortable with it.
ChrisSo because it's got everything going for it and I just can't tell if it's just me.
Chrisalmost like if I watched it a few times, but is it something about the fact that they're kind of meant to be real.
ChrisWell, I mean, they they are real in the film, what's happening.
ChrisBut so I don't know if that somehow puts me slightly.
AdamWhat, what you can't quite g for them as they are, the murders.
ChrisWell, or just the whole idea of of
ChrisYou know, potentially snuff films seems odd.
AdamIt's it's certainly one that you it's it was weird because someone asked what film we were doing next.
AdamAnd I explained it was all about evil.
AdamAnd it was, oh, and then I was like, oh, it's all about evil and I then realized probably a lot of people don't know the film.
AdamSo I put in a little explanation and it was like.
AdamOh, it's like a black comedy about a cinema owner who starts making their own snuff films.
AdamAnd it was at that point that I thought, that really doesn't sound like a comedy.
ChrisNo.
AdamIt sounds like a film you didn't.
ChrisBut that's it, that's it. So that that's the bit that's.
AdamI didn't.
ChrisBut that's it. So so the actual the film is enjoyable, but it's somehow just that feels like it's hard for me to fully get over that as a, you know, a slogan for it.
AdamMaybe that's, maybe that's where the.
AdamThe element of camp comes in, I think.
ChrisYeah, so absolutely.
ChrisSo that like if if it wasn't, I think I would probably hate it.
AdamYes.
AdamThe absurdity of it is what sells it.
ChrisYeah.
AdamIn that sense.
LeeI I loved that that absurdity and the fact it's such an original idea.
LeeYou know, a lot of independent filmmakers, as we've said before.
LeeWe'll take kind of very well-trodden stories for their kind of first attempt.
Leewhereas this just felt so original and so fresh.
Leeyeah, and that was what I loved about it.
LeeAnd it's it is a very dark tale, as you say, if you if you think about it on paper, but it's handled so well and with such a a great level of comedy.
Leeyeah, that I just, I I I loved every minute of it, and I still.
AdamSee.
AdamSee, I think, because also around, around the time that you got this.
AdamBecause I I remember you actually, because you you had to sort of explain it to us.
AdamAnd obviously, you mentioned, like Peaches Christ who wrote and directed it.
Adamand didn't, didn't you get a letter.
AdamWhen you ordered it, Lee, like because it was obviously from.
LeeDirect from her, wasn't it?
AdamOr like from her website.
LeeIt was no, no, no, that was that was a different one from someone else.
Lee
Adam
Leebut yeah, I think when I pre-ordered it, it was supposed to come with like a signed copy of the poster or something as part of the pre-order.
Leewhich unfortunately didn't.
LeeSo I was a bit put out about that, but.
LeeBut then I enjoyed the film so much that I genuinely was like, you know what, I have.
ChrisForgive that.
LeeI have had my money's worth out of this DVD over the years because I think this must have been the maybe the dozenth time that I've seen it.
LeeWhich is why I was most surprised when I told Jennifer about it and she went, yeah, that doesn't sound familiar at all.
LeeSo she sat down and watched it with me tonight.
Leeand absolutely loved it, but she did say, it does give teachers a bad name, because that Miss Morehouse, is her name, is an absolute prick.
AdamWas her.
LeeWas her exact words.
AdamThat that's prob, that's probably weirdly enough the only bit of this that sort of works to a different time or gives you an insight into a different time.
Adamwhere that is seen as an absurd thing.
LeeYeah.
AdamWhereas now it would be, no, genuinely do make sure you've intervened on this, because, you know, school shootings are now a thing.
Lee
AdamI mean, not not to put horrible sort of moments into it or whatever like that.
AdamBut apparently that is the number one cause of teenage death in America these days.
AdamAbove accidents, drugs, anything else, yeah, that is the most likely reason.
AdamSo I think now it would probably not, that bit would probably not be as overdone.
AdamEven though it is the whole thing about, if you like horror films, you must be a weirdo.
LeeYou must be a weirdo.
AdamYeah, it's the it's kind of like the Satanic Panic thing and stuff like that where it's like you play Dungeons and Dragons, therefore.
AdamIt's the same reason that.
ChrisYeah, yeah.
AdamI can't remember which is which Toy Story, there's a toy shop that won't sell Harry Potter because it's like Harry Potter stuff, because it's.
AdamIt's yeah, the entertainer will not sell Harry Potter stuff because their owner is like hardline Christian and is like it's magic and wizards and stuff, so it's the dark arts.
ChrisSo it's like corrupting, yeah.
AdamIt's satanic, yeah, so.
LeeOh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
AdamNot only that.
LeeOh, yeah, yeah.
AdamYeah, absolutely.
AdamNot not only that, but also call yourself a businessman.
LeeOh.
AdamYeah, let's ignore one of like the the most successful fucking franchises.
ChrisYeah.
AdamYou know, but anyway, I mean, but that's sort of beside the point.
AdamBut, but I remember when we, when we watched this.
AdamNow, here's the thing.
AdamI would, I would have at the drop of a hat recommended this film to anyone.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd I yesterday was literally the second time ever that I've seen it.
AdamI've only seen it once at yours, Lee, because I couldn't get hold of a copy of the DVD.
AdamBecause it was a fairly limited run and it was gone.
AdamBasically.
AdamI think, I think at one point I did see because it was one of those things where it was like, oh yeah, all about evil.
AdamNo, I'll I'll get that because I'll watch that again.
AdamAnd by then, I think there was copies changing hands for sort of inflated prices and it was like, oh, well, you know, didn't see the thing.
Adamand so the fact that they've released a Blu-ray, Seven have released this on Blu-ray, it's fantastic and it's on Shutter.
AdamSo more people hopefully will see this.
LeeI'm definitely going to pick up the Blu-ray of it, because I've still got the original DVD copy that I've got.
LeeWhich, I mean, which is it's fantastic quality for a lower budget release.
Leebut yeah, if it's on Blu-ray, I will absolutely be getting hold of that.
Adamthis couple.
AdamYeah, getting quick, it's got the soundtrack on CD with it.
Lee
Adamand, like loads of, it's got the extras that were on the DVD that you've got and additional stuff as well.
LeeYeah.
Adamso, and it's all pretty good and it looks it looks great as well.
AdamBut I think at the time, particularly Dean and then and through Dean, I was getting into John Waters' stuff.
AdamAnd again, we were bringing them around to you, Lee, so we.
AdamAnd that is definitely how I feel All About Evil is.
AdamIs it feels like a John Waters film.
LeeYeah, absolutely.
AdamI I ended up, when I was watching it, I ended up with like a load of sort of fantasy double bills in my head of what you could pair this with.
AdamAnd one of them was Be demented.
LeeYeah, without a doubt.
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah.
AdamThat.
AdamThat which is probably on an equal pegging with Female Trouble being my favorite John Waters movie.
AdamSo, Be demented is the story of a director who kidnaps an actress.
AdamIn like a famous but sort of not doing anything worthy actress and forces her to make good films.
AdamIt's like they're basically like an artistic terrorist movement.
Adam
AdamAnd I think actually that.
ChrisThat's another idea.
LeeIt's funny you.
LeeI was going to say Jennifer said exactly the same, she was like, this would be a perfect double film bill with Popcorn.
LeeAnd I was like, that's another one of my favorites.
ChrisOh, yeah.
ChrisYeah, you have mentioned that a few times.
AdamI also think because of the classic sort of like the classic nature that Debora is going for, I mean, that's that's just immediately fantastic.
LeeYeah.
AdamI get the feeling that that was either someone they knew or it was a joke that sort of was the basis of why she's called Deborah.
AdamBecause there was no, it's Debora.
Adambut I like like she makes sort of stuff that's.
AdamObviously like very, a lot of it is historically set, supposedly.
Adam
AdamAnd so again, the other thing I was thinking you pair it with is Theatre of Blood.
LeeYes.
AdamYou know, because I think in a very similar and even the fact you end up with a rooftop like demont at the end sort of would feel very Theatre of Blood as well.
AdamAnd again, I think it's like Theatre of Blood where it's that that has that sensibility where you're like.
AdamYeah, that if this was real life.
AdamThis is ghastly people.
ChrisYeah.
AdamBut it's not real life, so we can enjoy this, and it's just fucking mad.
LeeIt's one of those fantastic movies to enjoy with like.
LeeI've seen this film probably seven or eight times on my own.
LeeBut it is a great group watch.
LeeIt is one of those.
ChrisSo that's it, that's what I was thinking.
ChrisYeah, definitely, I think it would have worked fantastically well.
LeeGet a few of you together, a few too many beers, chuck this on, it is absolutely perfect.
Leeyeah, and it's a it's a lovely short film as well, it's, you know, hour and 39 or whatever.
LeeYeah.
LeeAnd the story moves along really nicely, it doesn't have any slow bits, it doesn't feel rushed any time.
LeeIt's just, yeah, it's just.
ChrisThe characters are all great.
LeeYeah.
AdamIt gets, yeah, it gets it gets into the premise quickly and doesn't even let up.
ChrisYeah, yeah, it's very true.
AdamThere's there's almost like a jump scare where it's like, Deborah, Mr. Twig, like cover up the murder of her mom.
ChrisYeah.
AdamAnd then the next thing you know, oh, we'll drug this one because she was annoying.
AdamYou know, which is.
AdamBut it's a conversation that's obviously taken place off screen.
ChrisBut you don't see anything cuts up to that.
AdamYou don't see anything that cuts up to that.
Adambut I like that, yeah, like you say, it just gets on with it.
AdamAnd.
ChrisAnd also it just.
ChrisIt seems to do everything right.
ChrisYeah.
AdamMaybe I think it's again, it's one of those things where I think if it's if it hits if it hits you on the wrong note or whatever like that, I think it could be.
AdamBecause I know like I watched the making of, which is got Joshua Granelle, aka Peaches Christ.
Adamand the producer and the majority of the actors are in it.
AdamAnd also that that completely threw me because the one thing I was going all the way through.
AdamWas because I was trying to remember who, Stephen was like because I was like, I know you from fucking something.
LeeOh, Sarah Connor Chronicles.
AdamYeah, it's the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
AdamAnd I was like, oh, yeah, that finally that penny dropped but only afterwards.
AdamAnd.
LeeHe was also, he was brilliant in, he was in a show for, I think it was a Netflix original called Backstrom, which was, which was basically him living with a slightly mental detective, who was played by the guy who gets turned into a fish from House of 1000 Corpses.
AdamOh, Bill.
LeeHader.
LeeYeah, I can't remember his name at the moment.
LeeI've only got one screen, unfortunately.
Lee
LeeBut yeah, and and that's a fantastic, that was another one when I saw it and I was like, oh, man, that was such a great series.
LeeBut they just did the one and and didn't go back to it, unfortunately.
AdamYeah, Thomas Decker, who plays Steven.
LeeYeah.
AdamWho is also in, I've never seen it, but he plays David McGowan in John Carpenter's remake of Village of the Damned.
LeeOh, okay.
Adamso he must be like the main creepy kid.
AdamAt Midwich.
Adam
AdamAnd he's in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
LeeOh, he's he's the main character, I believe in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
LeeWhich, yeah, I don't worry.
LeeThomas Tecker, I'm not holding that against you.
AdamBut but obviously because I mean it's funny, it's funny that you said obviously you recognized Natasha Lyonne, Chris, Mink Stole, who played Evelyn, the like the librarian who gets her lip song shot.
AdamShe is a John Waters regular, John Waters basically had a has a repertoire a repertoire company, essentially.
LeeOh, that's the last thing they.
LeeAre we reputable?
AdamOh, that's yeah.
AdamNot reputable.
Adamyeah, they're called the Dreamlanders.
AdamBecause of John Waters does John Waters' Dreamlands Productions.
AdamSo she's in loads of
AdamShe's in most, I think, I think she's been pretty much every John Waters film.
LeeYeah.
AdamGive or take.
Adam
AdamBut so but she's also in but I'm a cheerleader with Natasha Lyonne.
Adamand she was on like Married With Children, so she sort of does stuff here and there.
AdamBut really she's it's for John Waters that she's known.
AdamSo she was definitely a familiar face when watching it.
AdamMe and Lee both already had an obsession with Natasha Lyonne.
AdamI mean, with me, it was mostly because of Confessions of a Trick Baby.
Adamwhich is just a a fucking mental film.
Adamit's actually, it's actually the sequel to a kind of the sequel to a film called Freeway.
Adamwhich is basically Red Riding Hood told through the prism of like a trashy, true crime movie.
Adambasically Reese Witherspoon gets picked up by, a predatory nonce played by, Keith Sutherland.
Adamand rather than like get Granny eaten, she just takes his gun off him and puts him in a fucking wheelchair.
AdamBut he's still coming after her, even though he is like, covered in reconstructive surgery stuff.
AdamAnd Confessions of a Trick Baby, Natasha Lyonne plays a character called White Girl and, basically she ends up escaping from.
Adamwhat's the a juvenile hall where she's like, she's an American cult store.
AdamYeah.
Adamlike her, and basically she escapes and goes on a lesbian killing spree with, another inmate and it's, yeah, again.
AdamVery fucked up, very John Watersy.
AdamAnd it's sort of, yeah, it's a trajectory where you feel like, I can see why All About Evil sort of is definitely in in her wheelhouse, you know.
ChrisYeah, yeah.
AdamBut the other name that you probably, you, did you recognize Stephen's mom?
ChrisNo.
LeeYou will after their next episode.
ChrisCome on.
ChrisI won't.
AdamThat was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
ChrisOh, right.
ChrisOkay.
AdamSo.
LeeThat's.
ChrisOh.
Adam
LeeWhich is funny that he had the poster above the bed of Elvira.
AdamFunny or questionable because it does suggest he's not one out of his got money.
ChrisWell.
AdamAnd I'll leave it there.
ChrisBut so so how many references were actually in this in total?
AdamI think there's only that, that's the only Elvira reference that he's just got the poster.
AdamBut but oddly enough, that's right for his room.
AdamHe's got all the horror modern model stuff and the other horror film posters and stuff like that.
AdamElvira's Elvira would be an obvious thing in there, even if Cassandra Peterson wasn't in the film.
AdamAnd obviously.
ChrisSo when was when was Elvira big, what was?
AdamI'm not even.
AdamGoing to rise to that.
ChrisNo, okay.
LeeSo.
Leeso I I think Elvira's mainstay was in the eighties.
Lee
LeeAgain, it was that thing of they had a they had a late night slot and they had lots of films that were public domain, but just whacking on some old black and white horror movies didn't necessarily get the audience in.
LeeSo they were like, well if we get a host.
AdamIt's a tradition, isn't it? It's a it's a very we've spoken about it before the American tradition of you had horror hosts.
AdamBut Elvira was Elvira was the sort of in the eighties and nineties was the recognized horror host.
Adam
AdamAnd yeah, so, but I mean, obviously, I mean, she's still, I mean, she's still out there, she's still presenting and doing this and that and everything else like that.
ChrisOkay.
Adamand yeah, I mean, sort of but like I say, I mean, obviously, we'll get more into that next week when we cover Mistress of the Dark.
AdamBut.
AdamI have to say, she's fucking good in this because there is not a hint of Elvira.
ChrisThat's interesting.
AdamYou know, this if you.
AdamWell, here's that is actually that is brilliant because that is my proof of concept.
AdamChris has watched this and just thought there's an actress playing someone in a drag.
LeeYeah.
LeeAnd didn't.
ChrisNot at all.
AdamWhich is.
AdamYeah.
ChrisNot not that I mean I often don't recognize people very well, so I may not be the perfect here, but yeah, no, it's funny how that. I mean, reminds me of Marilyn Monroe.
ChrisThere was there was a story about her on the underground and she was not dressed up as that and as she would normally be, nobody noticed her, and she's talking to this reporter, and then she gets off, steps out into New York City, and just starts doing her moves, and suddenly she's people are clambering around her and she's like, oh yeah, she's now become this, everyone recognizes her.
ChrisBut when she's just being normal, she can get away with it.
ChrisIt's like it's funny how that.
AdamWell, I think.
ChrisIt's it's it's noticing the characteristics.
AdamI think it's but yeah, I think certainly in terms of like Elvira, Elvira is a costume.
ChrisYeah.
AdamYou know, it's not it's not even like an image or something like that.
AdamYou know, you you can probably see Keanu Reeves walk around and he might look like John Wick.
AdamOr he might look like Constantine or whatever.
AdamBut yeah, Elvira out of the costume is utterly un-Elvira.
LeeYeah, it just goes to show you how much of a character she'd created.
LeeSo as you say, it isn't just the look, it's actually she created this entire persona.
AdamPersona.
AdamEssentially, it's drag.
LeeYeah.
AdamIt's much.
AdamIn the same way she you like, for example, obviously Peaches Christ is in the film.
LeeLooking amazing, I've got to say.
LeeLike just.
AdamBut you would not necessarily recognize her out of drag.
Lee
AdamSo.
AdamBecause but apparently when I was watching the making of, like, Joshua Grenelle, Peaches Christ, whichever you want to go.
AdamI mean, that's he it's Joshua Grenelle is who's the credited director.
LeeYeah.
AdamSo, you know, and Peaches Christ is a credited character.
AdamSo it's yeah.
Adambut apparently when they were making it, he, would, obviously if he's playing.
Adamhe's the only one who can do the Peaches Christ makeup.
AdamLike, you know, drag queens do their own look.
Adamand so if he was playing, if he was going to be on set as Peaches Christ in the film, he would have to come in in full makeup.
AdamNot the not the dress and the hair, but in the makeup.
AdamYeah, and so they said it was a very weird experience filming it.
AdamBecause the makeup looks disdainful, it's like.
LeeYeah.
AdamIt's like, it's naturally done to look slightly sneery.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd loads of the actors said, we really lost confidence if he was ever in the makeup, because we were he he immediately looked like that.
ChrisIt feels like.
LeeYeah.
ChrisYeah.
AdamYeah.
LeeYeah.
AdamYou know.
LeeI was trying to work out.
LeeHow tall Joshua Grenelle must be, because there's a point at which he's clearly, obviously, when he's as Peaches Christ with the massive wig on and the heels.
LeeBut there's a point where she's standing in the door of the and everybody else is coming through and is, you know, sort of a third of the door up and she has to duck to get under the door.
LeeAnd I was like, he's got to be a really tall dude before he before he goes into change because he's just, yeah, massive.
AdamOh, yeah.
AdamAnd you've got Heckle, who is another San Francisco drag queen.
AdamIn there as well.
AdamWho is named after, the Icelandic volcano.
LeeOh.
AdamThat we talked about in the Northman.
LeeOh, right.
AdamYes.
AdamYeah.
AdamBut like Peaches Christ, so.
AdamPeaches Christ is like quite big in the San Francisco, is big in the drag drag scene in San Francisco and all over, really.
Adambut hosted a thing called Midnight Mass for 12 years, which was like a, basically it was showing cult and excuse me.
AdamShowing like cult cinema and, like modern and old.
AdamMostly like a lot of horror films, obviously.
AdamAnd getting guests into talks like have guests like Mink Stole and Elvira, but also like Linda Blair, RuPaul.
AdamMary Warhoff and John and John John Waters and sort of like were all guests there.
AdamAnd yeah, basically that ran for about 12 years and was like a massive regular sort of thing in San Francisco.
AdamAnd he he still now does a horror house every Halloween.
LeeNice.
AdamAnd apparently like Peaches Christ's horror house is some of the best ones on the on the scene.
AdamYou know.
AdamAnd yeah, and Midnight Mass is now the name of Peaches Christ's podcast.
AdamWhich is basically the same thing, they just go through, they do what we do, watch old movies and talk about them.
LeeOh, I will be listening to that next week.
AdamWell, fun, funnily enough, I did notice that one of them was the launch party episode for this.
LeeOh.
Adamfor all about evil, I listen to that and that was really, that was really good.
AdamAnd it had on there like the composer and oh, and the the guy who plays the school principal.
AdamWho in the because there's a short film that Peaches Christ made called Grindhouse, which is and that was pre Tarantino Rodriguez.
AdamAnd and which is basically the plot of this, but it was like a short that it was like he he describes it as a proof of concept.
AdamThat it's almost just like, right.
AdamI've got this idea, but actually I can do more with this idea.
LeeYeah.
AdamSo I think it was just it's it's but it that is included on the Blu-ray as well.
LeeI'll definitely be that up in the week.
AdamThe the person who plays the principal in All About Evil plays the mother in because here's Drag Queen, no, real name.
Adamwhat is it is it Spence, but what is it it's come on.
AdamTimmy Spence, thank God for that because I was going to say Jimmy.
AdamSo, but Timmy Spence, whose drag queen name apparently was Lois Turd.
LeeOh.
AdamSo, yeah, and yeah, really sort of there's a lot of, I think there's the nurse in this played the original Debora.
Adambut.
AdamNatasha Lyonne actually got the job because she was in a film called Slums of Beverly Hills.
LeeShe she's done quite a lot, hasn't she? She has done a ton.
Lee
AdamI've got I've, well, I've got the, I've got the details here, so.
AdamFirst major acting first acting role was the age of six in Pee-wee's Playhouse and her first major film role was a 1996 film Woody Allen's, everyone says I love you, at the age of 16. Like many child stars, she drifted into alcohol and drugs at an early age, consistently working, but more often attracting press for run ins with the law than the films she was in.
AdamShe eventually became addicted to opiates and slowly began to see parts becoming less frequent, often due to erratic with her often erratic behavior blamed.
AdamIn 2005, after a downward progression, a heroin addiction, and eventual homelessness, she was admitted to hospital for a collapsed lung, hepatitis C, and a heart infection.
Adamwhile she was in hospital, she missed a court appearance over an alleged assault, and, basically was going to go to jail.
Adambut she managed to avoid this by opting into the court appointed rehab program, which sort of got her off got her off the smack.
Adamand then but she was really close friends with Chloe Saveni.
ChrisSo say when did you say when did you say this was?
AdamThat was 2005.
ChrisFive.
AdamAnd then, Chloe Saveni sort of like encouraged her to to keep trying to do stuff, you know, to do more, you know, go get back on the horse.
ChrisThat's Yeah.
ChrisI guess she's clearly.
AdamBecause she'd done a lot of stuff.
AdamShe'd done a lot of amazing things.
ChrisShe's clearly got skills and.
AdamYeah.
ChrisYeah.
AdamWhile while she was, you know, while she was
Adambattling addiction issues and stuff like that, she was she was still working, she was still in quite a few films.
AdamAnd yeah, so she sort of went back most through stage and then got more film and TV roles and stuff like that.
LeeI sort of get the impression that that she almost brings.
LeeHer real life philosophy to her characters sometimes, not not specifically but yeah.
LeeIt's like it's interesting how it it feels like you're getting something real from her.
AdamThen in 2012, she actually had to have open heart surgery because of the amount of damage that the drugs had done to her.
AdamAnd yeah, I mean it's, I mean, it's she's a tough bastard.
LeeYeah.
AdamYou know, it's very, it's quite Deadpool, you know.
ChrisYeah.
AdamVery quite Deadpool, you know.
AdamBut yeah, I think so you've got that.
AdamYeah, well, yeah, anyway, but yeah.
AdamYes, but it's still.
AdamBut it's still, it's still.
AdamAnd she's in a remake of a bucket of blood.
AdamWhich is one of the films that does get mentioned in this, because I think they that's one of the posters at the start.
LeeYeah.
AdamSo.
LeeOh, yeah.
AdamYeah.
LeeBecause like you said.
LeeYou like.
AdamThat.
LeeThat's a remake of Bucket of Blood.
AdamYeah, that's the one he's in, the the remake, the, 1995 TV remake, apparently.
LeeOh, I don't.
LeeI must have it.
LeeI need to rewatch the original, I saw that I saw that once when I went through a period when I first kind of suddenly realized that I liked black and white horror that wasn't the original stuff.
LeeLike I suddenly started picking up on the 50s and 60s stuff.
LeeYeah, and just went through a spate of just watching tons of them.
Leeyeah, and I watched it then, but again, I watched so many at that time, they all kind of blended into into one, unfortunately.
LeeSo.
LeeI should take it back off the shelf and give it another go.
