Velvet Buzzsaw (Dead Meat Podcast #48)

[@anxiousclown8918]

The only scene of Velvet Buzzsaw I truly enjoyed was that one scene where the public thought the dead body was just a part of the art piece and the children were playing in the blood. That scene really stuck with me. The rest was pretty disappointing imo.

[@MsMagpie]

I turned it off as I was watching it I didn't enjoy this movie at all

[@omega2595]

I think the scene that stuck with me was when the girl gets assimilated into public graffiti i thought that was actually really interesting

[@cannoliravioli24]

I agree 100%

[@shykunori]

That kill is awesome

[@manwithaplan1255]

Love seeing Chelsea angry at a bad movie. Usually its James doing that but its funny when it switches

[@jourdynne27]

“Lucy wants the Jeff Goldblum funko.” “That’s fine, Lucy. I get it.” Lmao

[@freshshrimpproductions6047]

I think the real problem with Velvet Buzzsaw is that all the best parts of the movie were spoiled in the trailer. The main reason I watched the movie was because the trailer was so damn good. The "art coming to life" concept was done well but they could have gone to much further places with it. Overall, I thought the movie was dishonest and disappointing.

Chelsea try that crayon thing on pumpkins-- super satisfying and if you use all red it gets real bloody. Painting the pumpkins white increases the effectiveness.

[@adamtherock2008]

The entire time watching this movie I kept thinking how this would be much better as a 30 minute Tales from the Crypt episode.

[@ledge1220]

I honestly thought this was a podcast about a new award at the end of kill counts...

[@ne10man]

ledge 1220 that’s amazing

[@plaguedoctor981yt8]

[@crisprat6391]

An hour of talking about a new award

[@thegreathufflepuff7877]

ledge 1220 Thank God I'm not the only one. Then I realized it was an hour long then I was like "Oh yeah the movie!"

[@thehighnoonsaloon7794]

"Velvet Buzzsaw for most pretentious kill goes to......"

[@josh7435]

Something I dug about Velvet Buzzsaw that I wish it went into more was when Jake's character was going over the events in the artist's life and investigating his past. I wish it did that more, delved into the lore of who this artist was, and maybe why his paintings are cursed now.

[@trevisaur9763]

"Do you find him attractive?" "Yeah!" -snap- "Okay!"

[@Nell-r0se]

"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" Me on this movie

[@kateinthegrass]

I could listen to the two of them say “JOHN DON DON” back and forth to each other for hours

[@filmfanaticx4212]

To me, the film feels like it's trying to be a satire of the art world with horror/mystery elements. If the trailers and the film itself did focus on the why of the killer art and the story behind Ventral Dees that Gyllenhaal investigates throughout most of the film, it might, MIGHT, have been received better criticism. It could have been more of a psychological horror in tune with say, Jacobs Ladder, than what came out. It's got solid ideas, but the killer art and Gyllenhaal's investigation do feel like two different plots merged together. And honestly, I did enjoy it. Not gonna say it's anywhere near Top 10, but it was semi-enjoyable. All in all, 6, 7/10, mostly for The investigation plot. Also, you do bring up great points and your reviews feel more comfortable, relatable and humorous than other reviews, even when I don't agree with them. Also also, all your awesome movie recommendations for really awesome movies! Even for the ones I've seen, thank you for reminding me of some amazing works of cinema.

[@Werewolf914]

When it came out I remember being fairly enjoyed by it like it was just a slightly above average movie that kept me mostly entertained but lacked potential, but then I completely forgot about it until I was scrolling through the Dead Meat podcast episodes and saw it and was reminded oh yeah that movie! There's very few parts I can remember but I'm pretty sure I liked it even though it had potential to be way better.

[@belfortpennmachida]

I'm a painter and tattoo artist and this movie made me want to punch art critics lol

[@Polygonyall]

awww i liked Velvet buzzsaw a lot, its a mess but its like a fun mess maybe because toni collette

[@tylerwade3682]

I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was the best part of the movie in my opinion.

[@M1XEDBAG]

I’ve never seen it but i will defend Toni Collette at any turn. She’s such a a beast of an actress

[@daffyphack]

I always appreciate when main characters aren't automatically written as heterosexual. But if the character's not well written (not necessarily having to be a good or likeable character) then that representation just rings hollow.

[@pokemaster1478]

Even tho there are hundreds of not well written straight characters… guess their representation rings hollow too

[@basicindiebro]

Tbh though as a gay man I recognize that not every character has to be well-written or good in any way. I think the best rep is when it's kind of a neutral thing

[@p.thomas8917]

i love hearing you two talk about this movie lol. it’s not a great one, but i liked it hehe. about the ending with the tattoo, while rhodora was sitting outside, the movers were taking ALL the art from her house because she realized that it was the art killing everyone. then while she was meditating, the tattoo came to life and killed her as like a “fuck you, you can’t get rid of all the art.” i just think it was supposed to like scare the audience cuz you think she’s finally coming to her senses and recognizing the problem, but then it’s like no matter what, art is everywhere. it also made me look at my tattoos and wonder how they’d kill me lol

[@Misace2500]

On April 1st Deadmeat should do a endings explained. And FoundFlix should do a kill count, completely throw us off

[@Bluechaos21]

You should do this horror film called Rubber It's about a killer car tyre

[@Sciencef1ction]

Cj Andrews couldn’t agree more, actually a great film, better than most (if not all) other horror movies coming out around that time

[@darkartsdabbler2407]

Max Elling who paid you to say that? Rubber is objectively terrible. Still, they should cover it

[@-4subscriberswithahammerad521]

Ah yes. We need more horror movies. He's almost run out. There's only like thousands upon thousands left.

[@AlexOvTheAbyss]

I thought this was an art drama with a tiny bit of horror sprinkled in. I get the whole "building suspense" thing, but it was like they built suspense to show the credits.

[@taya12020]

Daveed is in a great movie called Blindspotting. He was probably directed to be stiff unfortunately.

[@Deadpoolzilla]

Velvet Buzzsaw is just an overly pretentious episode of the Twilight Zone. Seriously, toward the end I was half-expecting Rod Serling or Jordan Peele to start narrating the ending

[@plaguedoctor981yt8]

[@Nell-r0se]

I completely agree, i really had an idea in my head of what i knew it could do and it just disappointed so much

[@overlordkujo]

Love how they mentioned Brave Little Toaster! Probably my favorite Disney movie, to this day.

[@jasonboaden1032]

The hand up the skirt moment, with the airplane sound, is followed by a shot in the next scene of a bald cat. That's as good as this movie gets. I laughed and then the rest of the movie just happened.

[@davebornthisway]

In relation to the beginning of the episode, where Chelsea mentions movies from childhood that weren't intended to be scary, but ended up kind of being scary... well, when I was a kid, the "pink elephants" part of Dumbo always scared me. I would always have to skip past it.

[@Timewarpiaman]

The 2D monsters from Doctor Who seriously got better kills than the way Josphina dies in this film.

[@spare5808]

Doesn't cut deep enough for horror or satire.

[@judeblank8569]

the artist they're referencing is Henry Darger and his art is amazing as is the documentary on him. I don't remember ever hearing rumours that he was a murderer.

[@idkbobta9856]

This movie was pretty much just that one kid in class that would have the best Pokemon cards you had ever seen but he just folds them in half and throws them in his back pocket.

[@shadowz52]

No offence to anyone that liked the film we each have our own opinions but I thought it was the most boring drag of a film I’ve seen in a long time.

[@ThaBotmon]

I don’t take it in offence. The kills were good (in my opinion)

[@TheTrickster1204]

It is not a horror movie, but Daveed Diggs is exceptional in it. The movie is phenomenal itself as well. It is called Blindspotting. I recommend it.

[@tylerwade3682]

I watched this the same time I watched Bird Box and I prefer this over Bird Box any day

[@Jaybirdjinx]

I actually really liked the movie but I did get your points. Loved the scene where Malkovich and Diggs see the art for the first time. Everyone else is chattering and the artists are just quiet. (had to check how to spell Malkovich several times cuz I am paranoid.)

[@a.q.5775]

The artist and movie Chelsea was mentioning but couldn’t remember was Henry Darger “In the Realms of the Unreal” It’s a weird little lifetime that’s chronicled Really interesting and REALLY influential artist/story.

[@omega2595]

I have to thank you guys i used to be afraid of almost every thing and when i first started watching your videos i was still afraid but over time after watching your guys videos I've grown out of being scared of almost everything so thank you very much for being a horror channel that stuck to it's original premise

Daveed Diggs gave one of the best performances of 2018 in the film Blindspotting. It's my favorite movie of 2018

[@Neat0_o]

When jake G said, “something truly god damn strange is GOING ON!” I feel over that edge of loving this film. Yeah it’s not Oscar worthy but it’s still a good film

[@nic.d8709]

Theres a novel about art restoration and conservation during WWII called The Monuments Men. Its incredibly thorugh and interesting. Chelsea's talk about her interest in art restoration reminded me of it :)

[@Cage1408]

Daveed Diggs is in 'Blindspotting', which he also co-wrote. Fantastic film, I recommend it.

[@jimmyfission2132]

When I was, like, 3 I had a "nightmare" about a penguin on a motorcycle. I woke up screaming and crying because there was a penguin on a motorcycle. Even weirder (maybe): my twin sister had the exact same dream and exact same reaction.

Funny that Dead Meat is reviewing a movie with an actress from Fresh Meat (Zawe)

[@Aisyen]

Ikr I've been thinking about this for an hour 😂

[@claystripe6514]

Daveed Diggs starred in Blindspotting, which was the best movie I saw last year. Definitely watch it if you get the chance

[@danielcruse6686]

First thing I want to add is that James and Chelsea should check out Blindspotting. It isn't horror but Daveed Diggs is the lead and it is a phenomenal indie movie that addresses racial politics and gentrification. Secondly, the best part of this movie is Jake Gyllenhaal critiquing the choice of casket at the funeral of one of the other characters.

[@crizmeow8394]

Has anyone played or seen someone play an RPG game called IB? It has a similar concept to this movie but its way creepier, that's what I was expecting

[@sage_in_palmmall5301]

Velvet Buzzsaw, but Ongo Gablogian from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is the main character.

I could listen to you guys talk about movies for hours on end. This podcast quickly has become one of my favourite.

Daveed's been in a few movies and shows! He was in Blindspotting

23:21 Daveed Diggs was in the movie Wonder from 2017 playing Mr. Browne.

[@adambuckley2270]

I never really got the Daveed Diggs stiffness u til I watched Snowpiercer where he feels like a cardboard cutout

[@12345663484]

Pretty sure daveed diggs performance is just cause of his character. Check him out in Blindspotting, kills it there.

[@lightswitch8868]

Literally hate myself. So i was watching this episode and i paused sometime around 8:59 to go eat. After that, i went to bed, and was completely surprised that Bucket of Blood kill count was up, and i was slightly mad i didnt know ahead of time. Then i come back to watch this and hit play and james immediately tells us “bucket of blood is coming out”. Lesson; never stop what your doing because you might miss something

[@cecelia996]

I enjoyed this movie but I'd love to know more about why things are happening. Maybe more about the artist, like I dont want everything explained but just a bit more info, also Velvet Buzzsaw is a term for oral sex

Josephina’s death is the only one I like because I think that she was insignificant in general and the art is supposed to be the forefront, and she was just using it for her own gain. Other than that I agree with what you guys said.

I don't know if the blood in the painting is just for spookiness or if they were trying to reference the history of Mummy Brown paint. It was a popular paint color through the centuries, starting during the European Egypt-is-so-cool phase of history. During that time, paint companies acquired actual mummies, ground them up, and added the corpses to the paint (seriously). The color is gorgeous, but rather gruesome when you think about it. Many artists were not aware their paint contained corpses. Mummy Brown only just stopped being produced in, like, 1964 or so, when the company ran out of mummy bodies. The history of it is really weird and interesting. But I might be giving this movie too much credit.
