    The Princess Bride (1987) & Ryan Skonnord

    In a low-key celebration of covering 100 movies, Diana chose The Princess Bride (1987) to discuss with her true love. On rewatch, it became more and more obvious how Cary Elwes formed the prototype for her perfect partner. The movie was one Ryan watched with a girl he was dating at the time.

    While home sick in bed, a young boy's grandfather reads him the story of a farmboy-turned-pirate who encounters numerous obstacles, enemies and allies in his quest to be reunited with his true love. Stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, Fred Savage, Peter Falk, Peter Cook, Mel Smith, Carol Kane, Billy Crystal, and directed by Rob Reiner.

    'Saw' (featuring Lucy Buglass)

    'Saw' (featuring Lucy Buglass)

    It's the most terror-filled time of the year. This episode, we're taking a look at one of the most influential horror films of the 2000s: James Wan's 2004 release Saw. In addition to seven (soon-to-be eight) sequels, the film kickstarted Wan's directing career long before Insidious, The Conjuring, Furious 7, and Aquaman. But is Saw just a disposable bit of "torture porn" like so many of its imitators?

    Lucy Buglass joins the show to help us tear into that very question. We'll discuss how Saw serves as a springboard for not only Wan but also screenwriter/star Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man). And we'll consider whether the first film's legacy is upheld by its sequel. We'll even ask the question everyone has been wondering for the better part of 20 years: did Saw invent escape rooms?

    So keep your pig mask handy, queue up your creepy puppets, and prepare yourself for a modern horror classic. We want to play a game. And it's Saw.

    SYNOPSIS

    Photographer Adam Stanheight (Leigh Whannell) and oncologist Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) regain consciousness while chained to pipes at either end of a filthy bathroom. As the two men realize they've been trapped by a sadistic serial killer nicknamed "Jigsaw" and must complete his perverse puzzle to live, flashbacks relate the fates of his previous victims. Meanwhile, Dr. Gordon's wife (Monica Potter) and young daughter (Makenzie Vega) are forced to watch his torture via closed-circuit video.

    Saw (2004)
    Would you like to play a game?

    Tonight, the AHH! Crew is down to play and makes their choice to cover a film that launched a thousand other movies, James Wan’s Saw!

    Despite the many sequels of varying quality, Saw is undoubtedly one of the most influential horror movies of the 2000s and gave birth to the “torture porn” genre of horror. What makes this movie scary? Would Jerry Stiller have made a better Jigsaw? How much blood would YOU spill to stay alive?

    Also, here are the hilarious “Living with Jigsaw” videos we discussed on the show:

    Episode 84 - Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Episode 84 - Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 softcore porn adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" seems like a bunch of 14-year-old boys got their hands on a camera for the first time, googled how to do cheap practical special effects, and then forced their friends to act in it doing laughable foreign accents.

    It’s weird that one of those immature boys made "The Godfather" and the other was Hannibal Lecter. But, it's true. And it's weird that this movie won three Oscars. It's not weird, however, that Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves were the friends asked to do foreign accents, though. That one made perfect sense and it’s unintentional comedic effect is the best part of this movie by far.

    So what was advertised as a very faithful retelling of the famous 1897 book is actually an absurd, campy bastardization. The strong heroine of the novel is instead made to be a starry-eyed ingénue (played lazily by Winona Ryder), and the evil villain, Count Dracula (played by Gary Oldman—who is chewing more scenery here than necks), is made to be some sympathetic, deep-down sweetheart who only wants to make love, not blood.

    Um, no.

    Then we have one of the greatest film actors of all time, Sir Anthony Hopkins, turning in the worst performance of his career as Van Helsing, who is used primarily as comic relief in this one—and to explain all the dozens of rules the audience has to know (but then the movie disregards completely). 

    There's a bunch of boobs, buckets of blood, and boatloads of bull honky, but beware, because, boy oh boy, Bram's baby has been blackened not brightened.

    Episode 36 - Liar Liar

    Episode 36 - Liar Liar

    The 1997 Jim Carrey/Christopher Darden vehicle, "Liar Liar," is about a child who makes a birthday wish, just for one day, that his slimy lawyer dad cannot tell a lie. When the boy's wish is granted by some unspecified demon, his father is stricken with a case of Tourette syndrome which ultimately results in his arrest, the loss of his job and severe bodily harm. Oh yeah, this is a "fun" comedy.

    Jim Carrey plays Fletcher Reede, an irredeemably despicable attorney who cheats on his wife, exchanges sexual favors for career advancement and considers spousal abuse to be a laughing matter, but the audience is supposed to think he's a swell guy because he occasionally likes to tickle his son who he lovingly refers to as "Creepy."

    Christopher Darden, one of the prosecutors who famously bungled the O.J. Simpson trial, has an uncredited cameo at the beginning of the film where he asks Jim Carrey how his trial went. This is not a joke.

    Maura Tierney plays Audrey Reede, a pathetic divorcée who spends most of the movie deciding whether or not to move her child from L.A. to Boston and marry a guy she hates out of nothing more than petty spite for her ex-husband.

    Join us as we discuss how this movie rips off "The Twilight Zone" twice, Jim's history with clowns and whether this movie should be rated G or NC-17.
