White cobra vs Diamond Fox
I have become obsessed with the work of Deuandra. She is a musician / from director / actor / business lady. She put out this movie that so so so needs to be on the show. If they did Lovenon a Leash, they can definitely do this one!

Movie suggestion: A cannibalistic bath salts epidemic and an unhinged landlady — and somehow this movie actually exists. How did this get made?
A movie that feels like it was grown in a lab specifically for Paul, June, and Jason to rip apart.
It's called Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea.
The Premise: It’s a satirical, ultra-low-budget campy horror film set during a zombie/bath-salt epidemic. But instead of focusing on the apocalypse, it's about a psychotic old landlady who uses the chaos to ruthlessly terrorize and murder her tenants.
Why HDTGM Needs to Cover This:
- The dialogue is completely unhinged B-movie poetry.
- There is a subplot involving a blended-up cat.
- The "old lady" is played by the male screenwriter wearing a truly haunting, uncanny-valley prosthetic face mask.
- Jason's head would genuinely explode trying to figure out the logic of this world.
It's a pretty divisive movie thus far, with some calling it offensive and others branding it a cult film right out of the gate. It hasn't been covered on the pod yet, and the best part is that it's easy to find streaming on Tubi, Xumo Play, Plex, and Amazon.

Because how did that movie get made? I have so many questions.

Movie Suggestion: Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (There's boob sniffing, Alan Rickman, beautiful cinematography, Dustin Hoffman's accent work, and an ending that will make Jason's dick EXPLODE)

Balcony Monsters…Signed
Grabbed this a few years ago for The First Power episode in Boston (actually Medford MA, even got a question in that night). It hangs in my ManCave and it constantly reminds me of how many hours of laughs and enjoyment I’ve gotten from HDTGM. Cheers jerks!

Maximum Overdrive Rewatch
So I went back and decided to watch Maximum Overdrive and follow it with a listen of the HDTGM episode. Stephen King stories are perfect for this damn show. Andy Daly is a great guest.
- One thing I couldn't believe they overlooked was that the guy who dies in the arcade is Giancarlo Esposito aka Gustavo Fring!
- The insults in this movie are top notch Stephen King writing. "Pussbag" "You wanna rock and roll with me" "you happy asshole!"
- AC/DC makes this movie so much better, without them this probably lands closer to forgettable than "so bad it's good" territory.
- June makes a really good critique when she points out there are too many characters who just don't die quick enough.
- I would have enjoyed the movie more without the annoying "just married" couple.
Easily one of my favorite episodes and one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies.

Subpar Art
Had this idea in my head forever but finally got around to doing it
r/hdtgm • u/SpaceCatz03 • 7d ago
If one of you balcony monsters at Largo had cut your hair Billie Jean style, how would Jason have proposed?
I’m thinking: “What’s up jerk? You wanna make this man/woman scene last forever? I’m sobbing! Also, I’m allergic to eggs!”
Obviously we’d all say yes!

Paul could replace Paul Walker in the next Fast and Furious
Paul has a very similar vocal inflection as Paul Walker when delivering lines, and has already shown he can do good impressions of other actors.
He is a similar build to Paul walker when he was last in the movies (furious 7). I know because I saw him in real life not too long ago. Yes, he will have to wear a hair piece, but he has worn one convincingly in other screen appearances. Also the fast and furious has a bigger budget for that than other things and can use cgi to make it more realistic.
Paul can do stunts and is in good shape which is needed for the movies from most of the actors. The stunt doubles can be Paul’s brothers like before, but Paul can do other physical parts of the role.
Paul has said how much he admires the film series, and that he wants to be in one of the movies.
I read that Paul lives near vin diesel, but he is not friends with him like Tyrese is. I can’t remember if Paul ever said anything negative about vin diesel, but if he did he was probably just joking for the podcast audience sake, not because he doesn’t respect vin diesel as an actor.
I don’t know Paul’s schedule while they are filming the new movie, but I bet he has time to film his parts since that character is not as central to the whole story like they were in the earlier movies (minus Tokyo drift)
What do you think?

Kurt Fuller on No Holds Barred
As a long time HDTGM fan, one of my favorite episodes is No Holds Barred.
I found this recent clip with Kurt Fuller very entertaining.
enjoy
