I don't think I've watched a podcast where Lucy doesn't make her appearance. She refuses to be unseen 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@xmasthyme]

Lucy is the queen of Dead Meat

[@heywoodjablome7535]

“I’m not going to be ignored, James & Chelsea” - Lucy

[@bernebelmont1857]

Lucys face taking up a non-small percentage of the screen at all times is so good

[@KnucklesGum]

Hey James and Chelsea! It was a lot of fun havin Chauncey around! I haven't watched any of her content, but I'll be sure to check her stuff out! Great episode!

[@anthonyfisher5936]

Dead meat never fails to deliver on podcast great work James and Chelsea

[@Nomhle.]

These podcasts keep getting better and better.

[@filmaru8556]

If only they would finally do a collaboration with me

[@NinjazNeverDie]

John Carpenter wants to make a Dead Space movie. Imagine that. But sadly that won't happen.

[@frozenbeam7114]

There are animated movies of dead space

[@colonist7832]

NinjazNeverDie it will never happen because the normies aren’t ready yet.

[@colonist7832]

Frozenbeam yeah but live action? Nothing

i like that lucy was just hanging around

00:51I love the way James face changed so much when he saw Lucy was going in front of the camera

[@bestof6597]

I love that Dead Meat a channel with 2 Million subscribers collabs with a smaller channel which only has 1k Sub So Awesome

[@spacepope87]

Chauncey is awesome!

[@snowmexican8558]

In the mouth of madness is super awesome! Him laughing and going mad at the end is one of my favorite movies scenes.

[@glambert169507]

Listened to this during my morning routine as well as my morning commute to school and it brightened my day! I loved hearing more about John Carpenter as well as laughing along to all of your jokes, keep up the great work!

[@fluffcake]

John Carpenter is a blessing, I love his horror movies and music and I’ll totally check out his other works !

[@amgelogarrison2493]

I love how Lucy is just chilling in the corner for most of the podcast.

[@starringvincentprice]

When Lucy comes into frame my eyes just focus on her. What a cutie!

[@Vorusen]

7:00 a good trilogy that doesnt have a connecting story is the cornetto trilogy of Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Worlds End

[@marcelldaubenhauser2397]

I love Lucy's guest appearances almost as much as the guest themselves. Awesome episode guys!

[@TheZasu123]

podcast about james and chelsea's top 10 favourite horror films + discussion about every one of them?

[@LeoMarciana]

Suicideinsilence that would be like 2 hours

[@TheZasu123]

@@LeoMarciana what's your point? I have listened to a podcast that lasted 3 1/2 hours it's pretty common to have 2 hour podcast's

[@LeoMarciana]

Suicideinsilence it’s not long for a podcast but they never do live-streams that long

[@dweetsauce8513]

Leo Marciana Yes they do. Look at all of our late night shows and late night podcasts.

[@PatrickBoyda]

I like that I can disagree with some of y'all's takes on movies and still find your content and your community so welcoming and encouraging -- it might not seem like a huge effort, but damn it goes a long way.Thanks for keeping your little corner of KZbin a bright place, yo.

[@biggiefitz6275]

Love how the kitty just sits there facing everyone like hes part of the discussion.

[@MrEggplant]

I love John Carpenter movies so much! So glad you guys dedicated a whole podcast to him. Keep them coming!

[@Polygonyall]

great podcast as always! Amazing editing chelsea!

[@scottreed7312]

The amount of work that Chelsea puts into these is pretty impressive. I like to think of myself well versed in horror and especially John Carpenter (he directed 3 of my favorite horror movies) and I still learned something from her research. I'm glad you guys covered Carpenter and I'm sure eventually James will get around to covering his movies for the Kill Count. Though I'm jealous that James gets to watch so many Carpenter films for the first time. It's sad he didn't like Christine, though I think he has changed his mind somewhat over the years, it's one the of best Stephen King adaptations and has one of his greatest scores which is saying something. Also, it has a great commentary, where John Carpenter apparently notices his crew in the background of one quick shot at the climax and calls it "cheese wiz" which I now personally use when something is not up to my standard.

[@Juno-ue9vs]

My All Time Favorite John Carpenter film is 1983 Christine love that film to death it Kickass!!!!.

[@CrazyBanana510]

I know! I hate that John Carpenter considers it his worst movie :( it's one of my favorites

[@root-beer]

Definitely! Prince of Darkness is also underrated

[@leonthewhitewolf3995]

Shiter :)

[@TheSperz23]

Thank you SO MUCH James & Chelsea!!! I'm a HUGE John Carpenter fan and this is MY FAVORITE episode!

[@witchbreed1]

Great Podcast! I look forward to listening to more of these in the future! The best part of They Live was definitely the extended fight scene, it made cinematic history, just a straight-up slugfest between two characters with no sound effects or background music. Totally looking forward to future content, keep up the good work you two!

[@lil_nameless59]

The most underrated director of all time!!

[@urielt1504]

hmm... I love his work, and he is a no doubt an underrated genius, but he is too rich and famous to be considered the most underrated director OF ALL TIME. As an example, Andrei Tarkovsky pretty much died as a refugee with almost no international recognition, especially in America.

[@themoviereviewernextdoor5327]

What about Robert Rodriguez?

[@charlestrippyfan92]

I loved the podcast guys! Please do more episodes focusing on directors 🙂✌🏼

[@simplymakeup519]

I love the cat, and how he just randomly joined 🤣🤣

[@antoniobarajas4241]

She the cat is a she

[@Shoobadawoop]

Her name is Lucy 😋

[@darwyndehnke8217]

I was so surprised to see Chauncey here, this is awesome!! :)

[@austinsomers1155]

It’s pretty clear from all the rankings here that not enough people have seen Big Trouble in Little China.

[@van8ryan]

And THANK YOU, Chauncey for the IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS love!!! LOVE THAT MOVIE TOO!

[@willhuey4891]

yeah its one of my top favorite carpenter movies.

[@nevadadancer4629]

Fantastic podcast well represented by the 3 of you. Would love to see Chauncey on again in the near future. Lucy still the queen of the podcast 🤣

[@van8ryan]

Apparently, Disney had a HUGE fight with Maureen O'Hara (whom was in THE PARENT TRAP) as she insisted she had to have First Name Billing in her contract (which Disney didn't do) and constantly sued him throughout the 60s, only ending it just before he went into the hospital for cancer surgery (when asked about O'Hara, he merely said, "That Bitch"). Apparently, she was also the first actress who brought MARY POPPINS to his attention

[@SketchedSprockets]

Ive not watched alot of John Carpenter but now i wanna go on a binge and watch some of his movies. I'll have to come back and write down some of the ones you guys said where good~ Love the podcasts cant wait for next week!

[@johnnydiamond79]

Great video. I think Lucy really likes John Carpenter,too. She's so adorable☺. I hope she keeps sneaking into the videos. Hey,you should do a kill count on the Omen franchise,just a thought. I heard in the podcast that you guys liked EC comics. Well,I don't know if you know this or not but John Carpenter has his own publishing company called Storm King Productions. They publish this anthology that is a little bit like Tales From The Crypt but with a Carpenter twist to it. It's called John Carpenter's Tales For A HalloweeNight and there are 4 graphic novels in the series so far. I have them all because I'm such a huge Carpenter fan. They are really good and look great in any horror collection.

[@legendsnest1261]

I wish a podcast was one of the top videos of Dead Meat. They are so underrated

[@Primekillerboy]

One fun story about Starman is that Ted White mentioned he was 'playing some guy named Jason' and the whole production got SWARMED with people wanting his autograph for playing Jason. He was a very good sport about it and signed them but he was just genuinely surprised that a mass murderer like Jason had SUCH a huge fanbase.

[@audreysmith2691]

I don't care if I am not first to comment. This is a freaking awesome video. You are doing great man!!

[@JamesDavis-hg6xr]

I have so much time for prince of darkness and in the mouth of madness. Love the podcast, it’s forever improving. Love that Lucy is getting more screen time too !

[@wanderthisworld97]

I am only 7 minutes in and I feel like I have a viewing buddy with Lucy in the bottom left corner watching you guys.

[@willthomas2310]

For me it's.... 1. The Thing 2. Big trouble in little china 3. Halloween 4. They live 5. Vampires

[@annegrey3780]

You make so many Bowie references and I love it. My partner can tell when I'm watching the podcasts cause I'll suddenly be like "...like David Bowie!" then a few seconds later "Yay they said it too!". Also, the Buffy musical sounds awesome...but did it include original songs or the songs from the actual Buffy musical episode?

[@alexandredion2151]

Carpenter’s films really have a tendency to grow on you, initially I didn’t like Prince of Darkness at all. Now it’s on my yearly Halloween watch lists. The atmosphere is fantastic and I listen to the soundtrack constantly when I work. Excellent episode 💀

[@FrancescoTakesItEasy]

The Alan Smithee thing is a little bit more complicated. As a director you can't just take the pseudonym. You have to present your case to the DGA and argue that the finished product the studio is putting out is significantly different from the film you intended to make or delivered (like if the studio severly interfered during shooting or re-edited the movie without your participation). If the guild agrees you can take the name. But since Alan Smithee has largely been outed to the public the name is rarely used anymore. Look up the film "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn". It's a movie about a director whose name actually is Alan Smithee and who wants to disown his latest film but can't. The movie itself is terrible and ironically the director, Arthur Hiller, was credited as Alan Smithee.

[@potentiallypeanut5576]

These podcasts are just absolutely amazing. Highlight of my week!

[@christopherrobinhood9802]

The Starman movie and song situation is similar to how I felt when they didn't put Ocean Man anywhere near the advertising of Aquaman or the movie itself.

[@wcab07]

This was an amazing podcast, ive been waiting for a podcast about one director and there full filmography, Please do full podcast about Wes Craven & Steven King also please.

[@frederiktoftpetersen3834]

James i love your Mac from The Thing shirt, also good video :-)

[@m.a.cisback218]

In my history class I was waching this while doing an assignment and my teacher came over and said "what are you watching "and I said "a podcast " my history teacher said "from who?" " Dead Meat" and he started saying "cool I watch him to"

[@Joey7Z7Horror]

We seriously need the In the Mouth of Madness Kill Count real soon. I'm grateful it didn't happen before I watched the movie myself but we seriously need to see this, especially since there's not even a fanmade thumbnail of it online

[@CatChaos369]

The trick n’ treat t-shirt is beautiful!

I sit here listening in the dark wondering, "John carpenter marathon? Sure, I love watching things die!" Followed up by, "I'm not mentally okay, am I?" Lol

Friendly Correction - Guess Whose coming to Dinner in 1967 was the first Hollywood movie interracial Kiss , not The Omega Man :-)

[@omarnandhra8899]

Ive just started watching this channel and i love it

[@grace44018]

I love Chelsea but I wish we heard more from Chauncey in this! It might because they did so many movies. If they had just discussed one movie maybe they could have all chatted and asked Chauncey more for her knowledge and opinions? Instead it's mainly Chelsea telling us stuff which normally I love but there's a guest!

[@AngelofChaosMad]

I think this is my favorite podcast for now. John Carpenter is my favorite director. The first film I saw as kid was "Halloween" and since these moment, I became a horror fan and, of course, Carpenter's job. Thanks for this podcast and... do you want dead meat...? 🎃 P.S.: Sorry for my English.

[@van8ryan]

Well, Carpenter was friends with Kurt Russell after doing the TV movie ELVIS (in-between ASSAULT ON P13 and HALLOWEEN), which is why he vouched for him for ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

[@rollovers9435]

OMG I WAITED A WHOLE WEEK FOR THIS IM PUMPED

[@MsRiley1980]

I remember watching the movie Body Bags as a teenager in my hotel room when I vacationed in Las Vegas with my aunt and uncle. I was like what the hell is this? But I ended up enjoying it. My favorite segment was the one with the gas station.

[@esotericpaladin6894]

The films Wes did after taking over John's contract for Alive Films were: The Shocker (1989) and The People Under The Stairs (1991).

[@knowyourenemies7]

I love y'all and Chelsea does a fantastic job with these podcasts but.... Toledo is in Ohio and OSU owns Michigan, GO BUCKEYES

[@zehermanator2710]

Dude I wanna see a Christine sequel, just imagine it...A hellspawned car has sat in this junkyard for decades and still runs, no rust, no paint chipping, no damage at all and this high school kid's fascination for the car gravitates towards it, throughout the movie the kid's insanity grows out of control while his bestfriend tries to snap him out of it. Imagine the ending being a death race between an old school car and a new school car.

[@gavinp.6061]

0:53 **Lucy has entered the chat** 1:05 **Lucy has left the chat**

[@jessicalamont4493]

Hey @Dead Meat you guys know he did a little bit of a narration to a song called Tech Noir by GUNSHIP right? One of my favorite songs of all time!! His part always sounds like poetry to my ears along with the song's melody. Also has a bunch of cool movie references you'd be familiar with

[@shanaelavelle8199]

Would LOVE more Chelsea and Chauncey team ups

[@tylerabshier3523]

The Death Wish remake stars Bruce Willis And is directed By Eli Roth

[@AA1891]

Big Trouble In Little China is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@shogekimura]

how could you guys forget about Tim Burton when talking about auteur theory! love all your videos I put on the longer ones while im working. makes the time go by very nicely

[@Sword_Man_YT]

This was great!! 👍

[@robot54312]

A great episode about my favorite director. Escape from LA is actually really good, in my opinion, and I'm also a big fan of Christine. Though The Thing is still my favorite, of course! Love all his work (that I've seen; never watched Dark Star, Ghosts of Mars or Village of the Damned)

[@rouenation]

Vampires is one of his best movies and it works as a modern western also. Memoirs of the Invisible Man had some great effects for the time. Escape From L. A. felt like a parody of the Escape From New York the Gremlins 2 was a parody of Gremlins. Lockout (2012) is a great homage [or rip off depending on who you ask] to the Escape films. Ghost of Mars had an interesting reveal but devolved into a lesser movie like Doom. The Ward had an ending that felt a little rushed. If you want to see a young Jeff Bridges in some great roles I would suggest TRON, Against All Odds, 8 Milliom Ways to Die, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot King Kong (1976), Cutter's Way & The Fabulous Baker Boys. B~)

[@drew_harrison]

This is the second time after a Monday morning livestream I’ve came back to an old episode of the podcast and James is using the same mug as in the livestream

[@kaih2227]

Actually hyped for this episode Carpenter is my favorite director. Great podcast.

[@JamesH72]

Fun podcast as always, I really enjoy these discussion. Would love to hear your guys opinion about the gore factor in horror movies. Whether modern horror movies have more or less gore due to fan demand, or increase in effects technology, or studio demands, etc.

[@thespacecowboys3994]

[@Galactic321]

I'm sure this a while ago at this point, but Chelsea mentions doing an episode in horror comics. If this is still a plan you should try to get In Praise of Shadows on as a guest! Just watched him breakdown the whole history and thought it would make a great crossover.

[@mx.sarcastiblaster1170]

Aw, I love Body Bags! It's such a weird, fun, goofy little anthology film! And Carpenter is having the time of his life hamming it up as the host between segments. You should check it out!

[@LDH-qn5pd]

Another fantastic episode! I’m so nervous about y’all watching Ghosts of Mars. Loved that movie as a teenager but now it’s such a mess. Would make for a great one-off Kill Count. Enjoy and keep up the great work !

[@thiefofhyrule8000]

Carpenter is the greatest director of all time. So much prolific work. Cheers.

[@tylerwade3682]

John Carpenter is one of the best horror directors of all time. Him and Wes Craven were the go to directors when I first got into horror. Halloween is still my favorite horror movie and next to that is The Thing.

[@ricardoaldopetti4405]

He also participated and won on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".

[@Meat_and_Potatoes]

Oh cool! New podcast up! Have u guys seen the trailer for "Ma" yet?? Trailer Reaction for that one!!

[@solidsentinel1285]

The best way I’ve found to get younger people like me but aren’t old movie nuts to watch the thing is to say that John Carpenter made the among us movie

[@TylerKingNuReview]

I know that this video is a year old, but PLEASE tell me that since this was made, you've seen all of the ones you hadn't when this was filmed

[@tylerabshier3523]

I hope you guys review urban legend sometime. It’s my favorite horror movie from the 90s

[@dimavanzijl7807]

I never was in the horror theme but when i saw the first video of Dead meat i am loving almost all the horror movies and watched them

[@ullrick513]

Hey James! I would like to say I love all your Kill Counts, Podcasts and every other video. I have a question for you though, how long does it take to make a Kill Count? I would like to know the process and how long each part is. Because I would like to know what you have to do to post great videos every Tuesday and Friday. Again I would like to say I have been subscribed and been watching for a long time, don’t let us down ( though I know you won’t 😋 ) and keep up the Amazing work James! {btw this is just an account I’m on so a kid named Alexander sent you this XD}

[@van8ryan]

MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN is extremely underrated. YES, it's got Chevy Chase in it, but he's not too bad, Sam Neil's awesome as the villain, and the effects are INSANELY good. No, it's not Carpenter's best, but he's most of the reason MEMOIRS didn't suck as much as it could have.

[@Malkav65]

Christine may not be scary but it *is* great. Loved the characters and their relationships, the story, the effects, and the theme is one of his best! Sad to hear Carpenter doesn’t like it
