FeardotCom (Dead Meat Podcast Ep. 203)

[@tracerjames51]

I love that whenever Chelsea wants to talk about bad horror movies, she turns to early 2000’s horror movies about technology

[@HiddenBrother619]

Early 2000s has shitty horror and they barley know about the internet so its perfect

[@knightwing1224]

Man movies nowadays still barely know about the internet 😂😂​@@HiddenBrother619

[@Nougatbars]

I mean, I love the episodes about bad horror movies from the early 2000’s!

[@nailsarelife]

It's such an everlasting dumpster fire pit, and it's amazing!

[@Sadboi_Rook]

She turned into Yeardley Smith a few times in this episode 😅

[@thatkidwiththehoodie]

Y’all should do an episode on the scariest dvd covers/posters at some point. I remember being like 8 or 9 and the poster for the One Missed Call remake absolutely shitting me uuuuup. Horror movie posters are an underrated component of the genre.

[@jonesy1221]

Great idea

[@michaelmells6080]

YESS, THAT ONE SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME AS A KID!!!

[@thatkidwiththehoodie]

@@michaelmells6080 I blame that scream-eyed lady for all of my trauma. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT MADAM

Forgot about that one, with the teeth eyes, oof

We had jeepers creepers 2 on video and the front cover scared me so bad I couldn’t sleep

theyve put one on insta if you've not seen it already! its great

[@lazilybusy]

They made a short of it lol

[@sunnytheo]

The FearDotCom movie cover also scared the shit out of me at blockbuster as a kid! Glad I’m not the only one lol

[@cellavb447]

I came here to say this exactly!!!

[@il6yr8]

You’re not alone brother, I avoided it for that reason. Glad I did after reading about.

[@evabible9770]

Every time they imitated the ghost lady’s accent I died because they sounded just like John Voigt from Anaconda 💀💀💀

[@sheqaa_here2991]

Yes 😂

[@johnhicks8911]

I didn’t put that together, but now I totally see it 😂😂

[@erin1912]

LMAOO

[@limelantern5637]

It's so funny that they go from "We're so bad at business" right into the sponsor.

[@weeping_me362]

Had to go to an ad break to consult Hitman costs

[@tvheadd]

Lol, came here to the comments to say this ❤

[@mrenee6022]

As a long time fan, it’s just so awesome to see y’all keep making great content and how it’s all grown. The podcast always feels like I’m hanging out with friends and talking about movies with James and Chelsea

[@Shmloobers]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking feels like I’m chattin w friends listening to them

[@kristyfletcher2416]

I love when Graessle just feels compelled to jump in 😀😀 more Graessle! Fun podcast even for a not great movie 🩷

[@cousinmajin]

The part where Chelsea talked about the "hot scientist who hyperfixates on something gross like bugs or reptiles" trope made me laugh out loud because my fiance and I are biologists with hyperfixations on bugs and reptiles. It made me stop and think wait... are we... like super hot??? 🤣🤣🤣

[@ceciliabernal3241]

"define birth" is definitely going on the out of context compilation

[@ringtail14]

These are actually my favorite podcast episodes. Where they just talk about a mediocre movie fom early 00s. So comfy for some reason

[@jenschi3833]

Chelsea wants to cover mindless content. Love it.

[@Angelo-DavidFelix]

OMG she's Beautiful.❤

[@KhalbraeReal]

Udo Kier… he also is in the great Werner Herzog directed, David Lynch produced film “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?” Starring Michael Shannon and Willem Dafoe as main cast and Brad Dourif as a supporting actor. (The Blu-ray is oddly only released in Canada and Germany)

[@gothicgirly2002]

She can only play with a ball because she is a hemophiliac but plays in an abandoned steel factory lol😂

[@lilyeliza1998]

I’m painting a mural in my baby’s nursery and needed some fresh content, so of course my favourite podcast drops 🎉

[@kinkyxkitten666]

You're lucky. I'm single & lonely ❤

[@snackers199]

This was one of those movies where I vividly remember seeing the poster outside of Blockbuster all the time but never heard a single person talk about it.

[@LucidValkyrie]

Okay, you guys got me. Saying "we're so bad at business" and rolling straight into an ad read made me laugh 😂 love you guys and the podcast! ❤

[@miniyorha]

Typically I watch these at work and I had a VERY hard time not bursting into laughter multiple times. Appreciate James holding that push up position for so long too mid-air. 👏🏻

[@macabrevoid]

28:00 Idk if James or Chelsea will see this, but the “body falling apart in the tub” James was probably thing is of is the disappearance of Elisa Lam, a real (unaliving) case where Elisa (who suffered from mental illness and depression) went to a hotel by herself and an infamous elevator security camera shows her trying to “hide from something or someone. Several weeks later her dead body was found in the water tank at the roof of the building rotting in the water, the residents of the hotel stating they were finding weird things in the water and it was black in coloration. It’s a super tragic and bizzare story, definitely reccomend The Red Thread’s video about it since they go over theories and Elisa’s life before her death.

[@thefilmaddict5925]

I decided to watch the movie before this episode came out, I regret it so badly

[@jenschi3833]

It was a chore for sure

[@thefilmaddict5925]

@@jenschi3833 indeed

[@Lyric-515]

Dude... same. Like I had an open mind but it was still very very bad.

[@thefilmaddict5925]

@@Lyric-515 I was just getting pissed off as it went along

[@tratsie4112]

Bro same, i could never recover the time i wasted on this movie.

[@blackZabdi]

"we're really bad at business" hey guys rocket money haha that got a good laugh from me

[@GrapeDogMoody]

My only comment about this movie after I watched it is: This is 2000s as fuck. Also wild coincidence, but as James started mentioning the coyotes, I started hearing my neighbor's dogs howling outside. I kept pausing the video mid-howls to see if it was me or the video. 🤣

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I do that now and then when I am alone but hear something moving that I didn't realize was from what I was watching.

[@mnoir7257]

"The colors, Duke! The colors!".... I say this all the time and no one ever knows what I am talking about.

[@loriisgorey]

Polidori could be a reference to John Polidori who wrote ‘The Vampyre’ which is one of the first vampire novels and is based on Lord Byron.

[@SeattleWaffle]

This movie makes as much sense as The Snowman, perfect for a double feature

[@aaronking5640]

That is probably the movie I hate the most

[@ElizabethThompson-tj7qw]

I feel for James noticing one comment about a way of wording something and becoming self conscious about it... We all understand and the good people don't want you to feel that way. Love this podcast and all who create it!!

40:56 sorry not sorry but when James starts slowly descending and the camera lingers on him I lost my shit🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@VickyScreams]

I love episodes around not great late 90s/00s movies i grew up with. Ones I've somehow seen a lot of times despite never really liking it.

[@little_punk_doll8975]

I was 15 and living in france at the time, we didn't get many promotion for new horror movies so I watched this one and house on haunted hill a lot growing up. It has that weird "nostalgia bad" ring to it that I watch it sometimes still haha

[@Sammyswifey]

SERIOUSLY LOVE THE PODCAST

[@RealBradMiller]

I love the Dead Meat podcast so much! Whatever Chels does with it, games, good movies, bad movies, etc.

[@EzekielHurley-bh1sd]

That quote from Stalin wasn’t him being evil, he said it to highlight the U.S. military's tendency to give more importance to a “single” casualty if it was an American soldier than to the million civilians who perished if they were non-American.

[@timothyedwards2162]

The cover and CD art scared the hell outta me as a child lol

[@hindsightjustin]

51:03 might be the funniest moment in internet history 😂

[@drguthrie7621]

The transition between "We are really bad at buisness" to and ad read was golden comedic timing 😂

[@user-cz3sl5gr3n]

I actually like when yall say "I wrote down", gives full context that you don't quite remember 😊

Dammit guys -- I thought it was safe to listen to this podcast in my cubicle because I've heard it before, and then "hot take --" and now people are listening to me giggle in the quiet office 🤣

[@Look_look_at_my_cats]

I've never watched this movie but it was one of the movies my husband had in his huge binder of dvds when we were first married so I'm very familiar with the cover image and yeah, it kinda freaked me out a little!

[@dusthymn8187]

The cover terrified me as a kid i remember seeing this for sale at dvd stores

[@jeanninebrice9107]

I love when Chelsea makes James laugh, it’s the cutest damn thing 🥺☺️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😍

You guys should do Pulse next. Same feel.

This pod is always a fun listen! Thanks Chelsea and James.

[@chrissteadman1900]

I am absolutely around your age and I also remember being freaked out by that movie cover. So excited to see it covered on the pod (even if the movie sucks)!

[@wraithslyr1]

Thank you so much for doing a episode about this movie. This was the first and only movie I hated so much that I left the theatre mid screening

[@andreoid42]

THE SUMMER OF '84. That's where the decaying body in the tub is from.

[@jaderabbitart7316]

So, I used to love this movie, need to watch again, but one more similar concept this movie feels like it uses elements from that I think of is the Japanese versions of One Missed Call, with the red candy ball. I was obsessed at the time of this movie with Japanese horror and that’s why I think I liked this movie. Lol

[@Chimcharlover13]

As someone who just watched this for the first time in my life last night, I can confidently say that all the critics, and James and Chelsea, are full of it. The movie wasn't bad at all. It was honestly pretty creative and a lot of fun. I personally gave it a 70%.

[@brico9785]

34:07 I’m 32 and I remember people being allowed to smoke inside and inside restaurant when i was a teenager.

[@cozyburrito686]

I always look forward to this podcast! It's one of the best on the internet!

[@ASMukbangR]

Hey Dead Meat! I'm a massive fan and I want to propose something... Drunk horror. Same format at drink disney but with horror movies. I'm begging u haha. I'm autistic and horror is my special interest, I watch ur videos all the time and they really help me. Love u guys!!!

[@shiftybea]

One of the reasons they stopped doing DD is because they just don't drink as much as they used to. They've moved on 🙂

[@CSReed]

I think for the Reality Disaster Shows, it’s referring to the stuff the would air on SpikeTV? Like I remember watching some list special of accidents caught on camera, like a soccer stadium collapsing and what not?

[@figsdried]

Always so obsessed with the way they look at each other but James gazing at Chelsea at 1:06 is really peak 💕

[@noirweiss]

Udo Kier is definitely one of the greatest to ever do it! His role in Lars von Trier's "riget" (Kingdom in English) has stayed with me since I was 6 years old.

[@tootsymusic5785]

I love so much when they talk like the ghost lady

[@basicindiebro]

Your podcasting studio always looks so cozy

[@ex-ternal6384]

For the full month of Halloween I did a horror movie binge, and that included ALL, of the Puppet Master movies. Noooot, really worth it, but man did I have fun. Keep up the amazing work guys!! Always a banging' video!

[@fingerknives4130]

Who knew rolling around in a dumpster fire could be so much fun! Chelsea randomly pointing out Molly’s lack of volume control had me dying. Thanks guys.

[@salmonsdontdie4952]

I saw this in theaters when it released 😂. The only thing I remember is Stephen Dorff, and the director of House on Haunted Hill.

[@Zolthux]

Me: hell yeah shitty 2000s movie discussion ep! Chelsea: "i wanna talk about garbage today" We cookin today

[@bigshotfilms7741]

We have another banger on our hands

[@patrickbrown9018]

The ghost being a little girl is a reference to innocence lost, also, a tactic to get attention on her murder, folks more likely to look for a missing kid than an adult.

[@tammyburgett1896]

This podcast is so soothing 😌👁😌

[@TraynArt]

Regarding reality disaster shows, I think it’s referring to shows that were just compilations of disasters caught on tape. Fox used to air them all the time. They would show videos of planes crashing into crowds at air shows where dozens of people died instantly for example. Or people being swept into a flood and eventually drowning. This is the first time in years I’ve thought about it and just realizing how messed up that they would air all of that on prime time.

[@SurinaSlackArt]

Though I'm in full support of this podcast ripping apart horror movie trash, I'm wondering if Chelsea still plans on doing a Phantom episode, bc I honestly am still looking forward to that

[@johne.nobody2946]

This is such goals. Not the movie, this channel.

[@JehBasquiat]

I loved the promotion website for this back in day when I was a kid 😂

[@crizmeow8394]

I assumed it was my bad I didn’t understand what was going on and that I should have paid more attention. Turns out this movie just doesn’t make sense lmao What really gets to me is the potential something like this had, obscure websites on an era when that was fresh and new, pain and suffering being channeled into a website, something I believe Japanese horror movies have used to great effect, clues left by a victim who calls out to its killer in abstract tech, we could have had it all. But no, it’s just a mishmash of spooky things that don’t connect.

[@jessz7819]

I remember watching this movie ages ago because I found it at the dollar store and thinking about how hilarious it would be to see James and Chealsea tear into it, so this is a Dream fulfilled right here.

[@egsbenedict]

I had serious trauma as a kid from horror movies, My brother forced me to watch IT and for 3 years if someone wasn't immediately outside the bathroom door, I would fill sprint out the bathroom NO MATTER WHAT, but House on Haunted Hill will forever be my favorite horror movie, Because it was the first one I could not only get through, But also rewatch, The second one even ups the gore and scares, and the other one I could watch was Ghost Ship

[@shaylove7704]

Man the box art for this flick used to scare the hell out of me as a kid funny how that’s also the scariest thing about the movie too

[@bearianna]

I also have seen this movie twice! It might not be the best, but between the face on the poster (which did freak me out as a kid!) and the particular style of the website itself (very early 2000's edgelord 💙🖤) I have a personal soft spot for this one, even if it isn't scary per se. 😅

[@dennyawright21]

This sounds similar to South Korea’s Nth Rooms. It had some dudes that went by “Doctor” and “Godgod”. This movie is tamer. Real life is a real horror show man. Yikes. I laughed when Chelsea gave James crap about his hot take of Feardotcom and Seven. 😂. It’s great when a couple can tease each other. Lol

[@jenniferkovalick2959]

I haven't thought about this movie in years! I might have to find it to watch.

[@ouijacorn]

I remember seeing the poster for this at the theater the year it came out, which would have made me about ten. Of course, it scared the shit out of me, but I think it also came creeping back to inspire my interest in internet horror years later. Needless to say, I was disappointed to find out the movie's bad. (Also, the way to stop people from going to the website is to just say something bad but not paranormal will happen if they do, like their information will get stolen or something.)

[@NerdyNick95]

This was a movie that my mom bought at some point not long after it came out on dvd and I don’t think anyone in our house ever watched it. And I’m pretty sure it’s still in my moms old dvd collection even though she passed away a long time ago haha

[@stephiiiless]

I remember going to warped tour 03 and at the restaurant people were smoking inside. I wanna say it stopped here in WA before i started high school. So yeah middle/ late 00's

The cut to the ad section after saying “we’re really bad at business” was perfect. 😂

[@ConLustig]

Wrath of God on the weather channel for sure and a few history channel shows I believe

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Ill be honest. When they were talking about how the cover art looked like Blade, I was super confused how they were seeing Wesley Snipes for a couple seconds.

[@OGFacelessKing]

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s FOX was always showing those Most Deadliest Storms/Animals/etc specials and they were really popular

[@TheeFinalBoi]

I think the "reality Disaster show" is a reference to the show Seconds From Disaster (2004). It wasn't a reality show but they'd explain timelines, through reenactments, of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, etc.

[@grayson3347]

I honestly think this is top 5 podcast episodes.

[@michaelgil6383]

This movie was weird but the end was great. Guy takes a shot to the heart like a champ.

[@willhargreaveshf]

Knew this was gonna be a good one when Chelsea made exactly the same joke at the top as she did for the Stay Alive episode

[@claireredfield2473]

gosh if you think Jefferey Combs play a weird character in this, please cover Frighteners on the Podcast. He is a riot in that.

[@victoriarodrigues8250]

they were SO mf funny in this episode i can’t believe i’ve never seen this lol i’ve been giggling the whole time

[@dusthymn8187]

This isnt my favorite horror by any means but id be curious to know if any other late 90s kids were terrified of this dvd cover when walking past it in a target or blockbuster? Man that woman was freaky. I wish the movie was as good as the poster, can’t wait to dive into this episode thanks james and chelsea. Edit: seems like chelsea was one of those kids.

[@briankaslewicz6130]

Yes, same with Ghost Ship which was around the same time. Aside from the opening scene, that movie was fairly bad.

[@thaterinb245]

The cover of this movie is burned in my brain. I’d force myself to not look at it in Blockbuster when I was younger 😂

[@dusthymn8187]

Me too 😭 this and Dead Alive where the girl is pulling her mouth open and theres a zombie skull in her mouth.

[@zarbrinazada726]

It was said in the movie that as a child her favorite toy was the ball because she had Haemophilia and was scared of being cut and that why she a child version of herself since it was the only time she was happy and safe

[@AreYouNormalBass]

The discussion around "do you as the police tell the public not to go to the killer website" is actually handled a little in a similar thriller movie (no ghosts, just bad guys 😔) from 2008 - Untraceable. It does have some pretty gnarly kills though its not explicit (think its a 15). And that also has a weirdly stacked cast. Maybe I should request coverage of it one day because its also that fun brand of 2000's horror trying to tackle early-ish internet/tech culture

[@89benx]

I remember smoking inside restaurants going away. It was between 07 and 10 depending on where you were. Restaurants tasted better after that 😂

[@ManiacMayhem7256]

The visuals are amazing ill give it that. Ebert didnt like the movie but he said everyone should see it for visuals alone

[@steveoconnivo9666]

I remember watching this moxie when it came out but i literally can't remember anything about this movie.
