Half in the Bag: Censor

Movie theaters are starting to open back up and long-delayed blockbuster sequels are finally starting to be released like Fast and the Furios 9, A Quiet Place 2, and The Conjuring 3, so naturally Mike and Jay decided to talk about a small, surreal British movie. It's Censor!

Enid going off the deep end and killing people is catalyzed by the fact she has clear mental issues caused by her sister disappearing and clearly not getting the help or the closure she needs, not the movies she so desperately clings to "to create a story', as a side character says at some point.

[@codyb3232]

As soon as they started talking about "video nasties", my mind went straight to The Young Ones and that song that's been stuck in my head for the last 15 years -- a great reminder to get the DVDs out and give them a rewatch!!

[@WildBluntHickok]

I think they cut that song because it was an unlicensed cover tune, I might be wrong though. I know for sure they cut the Bob Dylan cover in the final episode for that reason though. Also on one of the musical numbers there's a "band member" who isn't in the band. He just got into shot holding a musical instrument and no one questioned him. The band (Madness I think) spotted it after filming was already done and they weren't allowed to do a retake.

[@MrFox-wn5jt]

This is a pretty good movie, but what I liked more about this HITB was Mike and Jay discussing The Young Ones (still love that show!) and the Video Nasties era here in the UK. They could get a hell of a lot of mileage out of just discussing this topic, and it'd be fascinating to get their views. Hintedy-hint-hint.

I can't handle how perfect Jay's acting is here. I love Star Trek and yet I can totally feel his pain.

Jay's been such a kind friend and business partner for 10 years - letting Mike go on tangents, dress up in a uniform for a skit, go on a quiz show where he doesn't know any answers, watch Jj Abrams reboots, and edit in clips constantly

[@lutherheggs451]

I love the people who cry about the Kelvin time line and LMFAO call Star Trek "woke" now, because they clearly have no clue that Star Trek has always been woke where everyone lives in a socialist utopia.....2 of those movies were far from terrible and Into Darkness wasn't awful even though it was just Wrath of Kahn.... People also seem to forget that the odd number Star Trek films are generally on a scale of terrible to awful.

I sometimes wonder if Jay has a draft of a screenplay he’s written of this kind of film, and that if he does-better yet-he gives it life by making it into an actual film. I know it’s one thing to recognize greatness and talk about it insightfully, but Jay’s knowledge and passion for these kinds of films-and his clear creativity in various ways and ideas for how scenes in films they discuss could be done better, etc.-make me think he could really do it and do it well. Regardless, at least he’ll always give these awesome, insightful talks, and it’s great to see Mike’s openness in being in on this one.
