13:52.57
Boxhuman
Had to watch rewatch the trailer and you’re already complaining.

13:53.86
jimbohaunted
Yeah, oh god I forgot about it all right. Mine is the new 2022 resident evil from Netflix if you thought you know what 2020 and two needs another fucking zombie series.

14:08.56
Boxhuman
What.

14:11.20
jimbohaunted
If you thought that but boy does Netflix have something for you I guess ah it is resident evil and in kind of like skin only like umbrella companies there umbrella companies other thing frozen. Okay I like the umbrella academy company. Whatever.

14:23.32
Boxhuman
Yeah Umbrella company The Umbrella Academy company. Yes.

14:30.56
jimbohaunted
Ah, they’re just like fucking umbreas at Netflix now I don’t know man if the witch or fights of an umbrella I’m fucking out like that’s it. We’re good. So we have this setup I believe I only watched that I I believe I only watched I did just watch like the none like None or 4 episodes. But I believe the setup is 30 years after the outbreak. Whatever it is kind of going back and forth from time at ping pongs a bit. And if you listen to my last podcast about stranger things I’m sorry for offending like most of the nation apparently but it’s I stand by it still sucks. Whatever do I like the way residents eve boy everyone hates Resin Eva by the way.

15:05.10
Boxhuman
Oh my god.

15:21.63
jimbohaunted
I like the way resin evil did the exposition because you actually could see it interacting with the story versus just like someone reading off a card this kind of bizarre for me, the acting is well done I like the casting Lance Riddick is amazing in this I actually. Ah, he was someone else from like this is great. But absolutely That’s all you need for me and like if you can make me go like who are you I thought I was a do from spartacus like holy shit that there’s an error.

15:41.53
Boxhuman
He he acted so well you thought he was some one else.

15:52.29
Boxhuman
With the one who passed? Yeah oh ah to share R A p.

15:56.97
jimbohaunted
Yeah I thought it was res and evil they’d bring people back. Yeah I’m not I’m not bringing that out. Don’t worry I mean hold on ah there go. But.

16:08.60
Boxhuman
There we go.

Advertisement

16:14.00
jimbohaunted
I thought he was the dude from Spartacus probably because like ah oh I can’t remember his name right now. But that guy was in the snake eyes movie I was watching I couldn’t get through because it was just no story just snake highs whatsoever there just like. Fight scenes are okay, fighting scenes and some cheesy dialogue. So maybe that was my mind was watching resident evil and then you have 2 actresses that are a bit believable. You know it’s. Dialogues a bit believable acting was a bit believable the cgi nuts whatsoever. it’s it’s horrible the cgi is just tremendously bad like god no it.

16:59.88
Boxhuman
Who is it like early two thousands bowed.

17:08.60
jimbohaunted
It’s not even that good I believe someone online compared to the starship troopers level cgi and.

17:08.61
Boxhuman
O is it like sci-fi from the early 2000 sp sci-fi channel.

17:18.54
jimbohaunted
I think and and here’s what it comes down to I think all the stranger thing money went to Netflix are they just gave strangers thing all the money and there was no money left over for any type of budget whatsoever for anything else and this sorely shows it just.

17:27.10
Boxhuman
And so.

17:38.69
jimbohaunted
It’s not ever seen the c incredibledible hulk not like Delu Regalll Mr. Fregno for listening high but the movie the None movie or the None movie the 1 with who’s that director James won ang lee that one too Joe James 1 did

17:51.80
Boxhuman
Ah, Lee Angley

17:58.10
jimbohaunted
Conjuring my Beth I own a well I a horror company and and late where we had like the pixelations you can actually see it pixelate out. Yeah, it’s that level where like god they they did actually some decent practical effects I like what is this go I’ll be practical.

17:58.52
Boxhuman
My god.

Advertisement

18:16.74
jimbohaunted
It could be walking dead. You know if you’re going to copy the walking dead. Your models will just be walking dead and do practical effects and that’s what the strength of walking dead is practical effects and when they do a Cgi. It’s just like boring as fuck.

18:31.96
Boxhuman
Honestly I really enjoy I Think some of the best things from Resident Evil the movie. Um, ah yeah, and her her her Beaver shot. Um, that’s what they needed and.

18:37.70
jimbohaunted
Beside me which air that’s what needed in witchcraft shed needed my house. Oh I know a hundred percent

18:49.40
Boxhuman
And a lot of movie just and not anybody else just just me a jobovic. But um, yeah is the practical effects like I think everybody remembers Zombie dogs you know like.

18:57.56
jimbohaunted
Sorry you’re saying what resident evil movies did well.

19:06.22
jimbohaunted
Um, and that’s a shitty thing those major spoilers they bring Zombie Zogs back I’m pretty sure is heja.

19:08.80
Boxhuman
That’s what people remember.

19:14.65
Boxhuman
Yeah, see and that’s that’s the unfortunate thing because when you have really good practical effects. Those are the things that last that in people’s minds.

19:22.44
jimbohaunted
Think it’s engrossing man. Yeah I agree and that’s where I I have an opened mind with this I was excited I was showing someone sex education on Netflix. And like you know if you keep your Netflix on it shows is like random bullshit to you like a screen saver like resin evil has a this is how odd of it I’ve been I’ve been sick for ah like oh they have a tv show like what one does come out. Oh all the episodes are out already. Okay, and.

19:54.29
Boxhuman
This.

Advertisement

19:58.30
jimbohaunted
Was excited to see it because I like the Reson evil movies. Even the ones were cheesy as hell writing is just like action figure brain candy. Whatever it is this ain’t that it’s got parts of that in it. It’s got. But.

20:10.38
Boxhuman
Now how much do you think is is Mila Jovich then to it. Yeah.

20:15.63
jimbohaunted
Oh ninety like ninety percent honestly god it’s like Jackie Chan movie doesn’t work with fucking Bruce Wallace like what the fuck Bruce Willis like jumping around is desk table. No don’t work that way.

20:25.26
Boxhuman
Right.

20:33.65
jimbohaunted
Um I guess he’s doing diehire 12 but yeah I know the actor or actress can carry a movie or Tv show and the talent of resin evil is there like the acting is there which is unfortunate because everything else is like letting him down. Be frustrating as fuck i’ like I’m doing my best I can with this shit I wonder you why old be 1 Ka Nobi but not, you know you know it’s the man I can’t believe I’m doing this bullshit like. Student film for this guy named George Lucas now goodness but we have no one was at that level of acting here. Obviously not to disourage him when in the cast but come on like the guy had a body of work that’s longer than everyone’s been alive on your cast.

21:11.60
Boxhuman
Yeah.

21:28.58
jimbohaunted
So We have this. It’s Interesting. It’s got a family drama. It should be more interesting than this and the effects are just wonky and just the the writing is a bit Hokey. It falls down like there’s a guy. Who is like the lead scientist and hes but hard as sometimes he’s nice sometimes but whatever. But there’s unbelievable partsse this is where in a zombie film. You have to believe part of the World. You have to believe this and exist and that’s where I think Ro Evil goes like holy shit this could exist but you’re trying to figure shit out with the people. Yeah. And this is not that it is a zombie film where 2 little girls break into a highly secure Federal. You know, whatever Umbrella company really is federal level security like just 2 little girls like oh I’m gonna go go here who knows. Who cares as pain will say cares but like how does that work. They just like waltz on in through that this this top Security. No fuck that does that’s not believable. It’s not within the realm of possibility for me and then the other thing It’s just.

22:31.43
Boxhuman
Um, now.

22:42.82
jimbohaunted
Like this guy has to take these injections otherwise he might I don’t know die I just watch it first a couple episodes he he’s as lizzo would say he has a spas attack I just found out she got shit for using the word spas in her fucking song and she changed it and she got more shit. So fuck people today. that’s that’s today’s fucking thing fuck people but he he just freaks out. You know it shakes you know you don’t know if he’s gonna die or not and he has a timer like if you knew that you needed an injection. Every let’s say 12 hours when’t you set your timer for None

23:20.48
Boxhuman
Do you think that he and maybe this is a spoiler is he like a zombie. Okay.

23:21.97
jimbohaunted
Right? Doesn’t paid I don’t know honest to god I can’t even answer that if it was a spoiler and I don’t know I do know like 1 of his daughters has perfect wolverine blood that heals everything and some shit and other daughters like a vegan.

23:38.61
Boxhuman
Um, maybe the perfect. Maybe the the thing that he injects is the blood.

23:43.85
jimbohaunted
Of the perfect daughter I think I think so if they take the vials up. Yeah, but it’s it’s It’s interesting enough I’m I’m gonna say this if you are looking for a resident evil true to the video game. Obviously this ain’t it.

23:46.97
Boxhuman
Yeah, maybe but.

24:03.51
jimbohaunted
If you’re looking for Rusley Evil that he miovvich far as I know of this ain’t it if you’re looking for Rosin Evil that has great C or practical and this ain’t it either. What does practical the facts it does do them Well by the way I should not disparage that.

24:20.46
jimbohaunted
But if you just want to shut your brain off and watch like a soap bop if you want to if feel like man I really wish Miss Marvel had fucking zombies in it there you go this is this is your Tv show is that teeny level of like.

24:30.40
Boxhuman

24:37.74
jimbohaunted
Your brain shut off, you will enjoy it if you’re sick at home which I was That’s why I was watching this like yeah if you’re sick at home. This is your jam man. You can fall asleep and not give a shit. You’re like like up and like I did this I was watching I do this too many times in Movie. So I was watching firsts. No good None episode. Mostly good woke up around the None episode like ah fuck it I figure out those gaps in the Storylines fine someone escape from something someone did this there. There’s not a lot of stakes sometimes and sometimes there’s a lot of who knows.

But if you unfortunately bought it for Resin or resin up stranger things for you’re like man I I wish I watched something that makes stranger things for us look better I think this you found it. This is this is the niche. Maybe that’s why they bought it. Maybe that’s why Netflix dev developed this like we need to make stranger things for it look better in comparison. We made this movie. So yeah I’ll do I’ll go 3 out of 5 cthulus. It’s not horrible, but whatever. Yeah, no crap. That’s right we get through 3.

We don’t even know if they do. And I mean like the actors and actresses I don’t know these people they they sound familiar.

27:59.44

29:16.40
jimbohaunted
And we do research we look this up I still don’t know why I know that name I’m like there Reid I know I know her name because I trustsh her too many top.

29:27.84
Boxhuman
Terra read is in it for like but she’s not really in it in it. She’s in it really not very long which is very upsetting to be honest.

29:33.21
jimbohaunted
Yeah, that’s upsetting. Yeah because I really do like Tara Reid I enjoy her movies I we said Ter Reid move it. Oh great fucking sharknados to be awesome like no we g house Mike really.

29:47.43
Boxhuman
Um, yeah I’m looking forward to her Tara reads ah do podcasts.

29:53.55
jimbohaunted
Yes I think we need to make that happen I think that be my last like thing. Yeah I’m firing all you motherfuckers I’m hiring terra Reid to do a podcast tarries.

29:57.80
Boxhuman
Where she reads reads ah books and she’s going to be on audible.

30:09.12
Boxhuman
That’s a hundred percent I understand I get that I implore that ah but ah yeah, she’s not in it for very long which is a shame I liked the concept of this idea. This is a good.

30:22.20
jimbohaunted
Me too I.

30:24.80
Boxhuman
Idea um is the execution I don’t know so the concept is you know? um well for one you know in the 80 s um they were doing a ouija board reading in ah in a witch house bad things happened you know.

Advertisement

30:41.98
jimbohaunted
Yeah, yeah.

30:44.37
Boxhuman
Um I think only one of them survives which I believe is terra and years later. Um, they’re going to go to the house these new people and they’re going to do it all again. These new kids.

30:49.90
jimbohaunted
Right? yes.

31:00.41
jimbohaunted
Why not.

31:03.25
Boxhuman
Why not? um because it’s spooky and whatnot. So but the thing is instead of using a real like ouija board. Um, the house becomes the ouija board.

Advertisement

31:06.34
jimbohaunted
Paper you hot up.

31:17.51
jimbohaunted
Right? because they is pan out of the walls and stuff right? yeah.

31:22.00
Boxhuman
It’s painted on the walls and stuff and also on her 1 of the girls I don’t think there’s too much of a spoiler I well I mean she she swallows the plant shed which is a stone.

31:28.49
jimbohaunted
Breasts was the breast I don’t remember oh she swallows Kate Blanchett I don’t remember that movie.

31:38.43
Boxhuman
Yes, yeah, it was extremely graphic. Yeah, it was extremely visceral and graphic that she swallows Kate Blanchett um

Advertisement

31:46.20
jimbohaunted
Graphic like a pictures and stuff.

31:55.30
jimbohaunted
Well I guess people love looking at that one.

31:56.60
Boxhuman
No, she.

32:03.80
Boxhuman
Um, um so know she’s full as the plantit which I think is a stone and um, she kind of becomes the plantit herself because she’s possessed and she’s the one who’s going through the house and so basically the house is the ouija board.

32:13.21
jimbohaunted
Ah, yeah.

Advertisement

32:21.91
Boxhuman
And they’re trying to find their way out of said house and also trying to find the the reason why the house is haunted so again, this is actually really an interesting concept. It’s an interesting premise. Um. It was kind of fun looking for the clues inside the house. Ah, and I thought that was great. The execution. It was a little bit like early two thousand S Blum House you know the type of just like.

32:39.63
jimbohaunted
Lose clues.

32:54.59
Boxhuman
Hey we’re friends. We’re friends get a party hey guess what guys I got a ouija board where a raija board.

32:59.21
jimbohaunted
No, no, no, no hold up hold up. It’s not that good I watched the damn trailer again is not that good is people are reading plastic lines I don’t know if it’s because of editing or the acting I don’t know what’s off something’s off sometimes.

33:12.67
Boxhuman
Are you saying that I should go back in time and be in a blum house film from the early 2000 thank you I appreciate that? No no blum house now is I think a lot better I think.

Advertisement

33:19.00
jimbohaunted
Ah, you should you could do blum house now I mean I enjoy Blum House I I think a jarggernaut.

33:30.51
Boxhuman
What oh yeah, they’re a juggernaut but I think when they were None getting their feet wet. Um, yeah, they were throwing spaghetti so there was a lot of a lot of duds too and um.

33:35.50
jimbohaunted
Well, they’re just talking like spaghetti and seeing what stuck? yeah. You You just to be fair, It’s more dozen I had or that makes me sound better or worse I don’t know but I was trying to pump them up I was meaning like you you you take all the shots you missed or.

33:49.35
Boxhuman
I Don’t know what that sounds like Tmi I don’t want to know what you pump up. He I think you’re just actually making them sound worse to be honest, well.

34:00.43
jimbohaunted
Don’t make it get it out. You miss all the shots you take. But how do out my supposed do sound sorry Jason.

Advertisement

34:09.22
Boxhuman
Well I’m what I’m saying is they finally found their footing. They finally found I think um, a really good good um place that works for them. Ah, but some of the early 2000 ones were a little bit rough.

34:13.98
jimbohaunted
With the crafts that blood seemed worse than carry.

34:25.00
jimbohaunted
Like what like what? what? What? what.

34:29.20
Boxhuman
I’m trying to remember some of them because a lot of them were forgettable I’m sorry they were.

34:33.28
jimbohaunted
But we know who’s not forgettable D Wallace and D Wallace is in Ouja house.

Advertisement

34:42.60
Boxhuman
But I thought you would go say Zencastr or your fucking shoes your fucking zero shoes or whatever.

34:44.94
jimbohaunted
No no my ex e r o zero shoes. No that they’re fantastic d well as she might have a pair but she can’t have mine I’m very jealous of theming though. Just. Tech up of my shoes by zero shoes x e r o s h o e e s dot com and you know use promo code later on but I love D Wallace and when she was in it ah made me excited to say by Deve Wallace and we got Tara Reid and Misha Burton if I remember who who that hell that is.

35:18.78
Boxhuman
Yeah, so started.

35:21.56
jimbohaunted
Ah, so excited and that was it. It was like my girlfriend is a good witch and I’m giving the delivery actually better props than it should so I just I don’t understand things like I don’t know. And there’s some really good horror people like we have Tiffany Shepis is in this like there’s some really good individual actors and naress but they just can’t pull together for some reason this is the right.

35:49.78
Boxhuman
Yeah, no, they I think I think it was the writing I think a lot of it was the writing in kind of the directing. Um.

Advertisement

35:58.71
jimbohaunted
And directing the editing like could also be an honest I God I’ve seen this in movies before maybe just pologing for my own acting there’s there’s some stuff in editing. There’s like what did you do? Maybe that’s what this is. It’s just like they just.

36:14.62
Boxhuman
Or honestly, what happens a lot in the movie biz from what I hear especially in horror um is that you know ah producers get involved or you know companies get involved.

36:16.94
jimbohaunted
Bosh.

36:33.41
Boxhuman
And they say we want you to cut this. We want you to cut that we want and then it makes the story weaker and more watered down and just a lot more chaotic and so and that could have also happened. It could have been maybe ah, a bigger story or a.

36:40.28
jimbohaunted
Yes.

Advertisement

36:52.12
Boxhuman
More robust story and you know, corporate and interference said No no, no, we can’t have that and that and that you got to cut all that.

36:58.30
jimbohaunted
Yeah, which is I believe why we picked this for James Squared because damn it this is a good premise a fucking house is the ouija board. Are you shitting me? That’s awesome.

37:04.64
Boxhuman
Yeah, it’s a great promise. Honestly, honestly if we could remake a movie I would love to see this roommate I would love to see this roommate because ah, that’s a good question.

37:13.95
jimbohaunted
Does know what you want? What was the budget this movie.

37:22.11
Boxhuman
Honestly, the wiki for this movie is not very expansive. Yeah, that’s exactly it. It was a movie. Um.

Advertisement

37:24.29
jimbohaunted
No, it’s kind of like it was a movie. They actually spent less money on promotion than okay, it gross up any movie that grosses less than my yearly salary. That’s not like a indie darling bullshit thing. Yeah needs to.

37:45.70
Boxhuman
Yeah, yeah, which again is a shame because I feel maybe again, it’s a good premise So I’m thinking maybe the writer did have a good script and it just got watered down.

37:49.92
jimbohaunted
Something is horrifically wrong with you.

38:00.62
jimbohaunted
Yeah, and it was 2018 ah yeah, release may fifth 2018 so it’s like you can’t even blame straight on pandemic.

38:04.40
Boxhuman
No, it couldn’t have been was it are you kidding me? Oh it felt like it was from the 2005 era no offense it did

Advertisement

38:15.64
jimbohaunted
Now and just really poorly done I think.

38:19.54
Boxhuman
Yeah, and I and it could have been good and I think that’s where I I really push for movies like that because it’s like it. It did have a great premise it had um it does have a great poster.

38:31.19
jimbohaunted
A great poster. It does have a good poster by the way I think we actually mentioned this before in a different podcast. We probably never release the post is the best thing in the movie.

38:40.84
Boxhuman
Ah, yeah, yeah, it really is. It’s very eye catching. It’s and you know honestly if we they did do um, a reworking of it. This could really work and it could be a good movie.

38:53.64
jimbohaunted
And yeah and it’s so fresher you all frustrating him. It’s got Chris Muy in it with the awardwin answer for fucks sakes.

39:09.64
Boxhuman
Oh really, oh let’s.

39:12.82
jimbohaunted
Did Captain Phillips and whiplash and Castle Rocky the twin pigs bar walk him but he was doing all this stuff. These are great actors these are individually arguably and solid actors and actresses. They do not work together. Well.

39:17.31
Boxhuman
Ah, the individual.

39:30.67
jimbohaunted
Like there’s no chemistry whatsoever. There’s no cohesion. There’s no nothing. That’s I think I think right I think they did. There’s some scenes and the editors like well we need to do something wrong.

39:38.71
Boxhuman
Yeah I think so I think it’s just it’s a watered down. Whatever it was supposed to be because it it just didn’t rise to what it could have been and it could have.

Advertisement

39:56.11
jimbohaunted
Yeah, it this Barton in it whoever hell that is she’s perfect. Genius I think she was a good wishitch I don’t know.

39:56.20
Boxhuman
Been really good it it she had and she had great jeans she was wearing some great jeans. So what do you think you would give this movie then.

40:11.44
jimbohaunted
God I was dreading that question. Maybe I’ll give this like a pull I don’t know take pile of fuck you no I’ll give us a ah welcome to stream and yeah of shit.

40:12.94
Boxhuman
I know.

40:30.97
Boxhuman
Yeah I was going to say a 2.5 for me. Yeah, because again, there were some things that I liked in it. Um I think just something went wrong, something went wrong in the process because you can see people trying.

40:31.29
jimbohaunted
Ah, 2 tip Byfi for you. Okay.

40:50.00

40:54.87
jimbohaunted
Yeah.

41:00.74
jimbohaunted
It and it did fall man. It wasn’t and it was not special effects. The special effects were fine. The does lighting the the individual components of this was fine. It’s just something really.

41:08.66
Boxhuman

Fallout, The Ghouls

Published

on

Episode four of Amazon Prime’s Fallout was a great one for character development. It was also great because one of my personal favorite actors was involved.

Let’s discuss.

The story

This episode’s story revolved largely around Lucy and The Ghoul. He’s still dragging her about on a rope, but we aren’t sure why. While she can track the Head, she certainly hasn’t shared that information with the Ghoul.

What he wants her for soon becomes clear, when he barters her for vials of the medication that keeps him from losing himself to the ghoul illness.

At first, Lucy thinks this is a step up. She’s taken by a robot surgeon named Snip Snip to get a new thumb. Since, you know, The Ghoul shot her thumb off.

However, after stitching a new thumb on, Snip Snip takes her to his masters. Who then say they want him to cut her up for her organs.

Lucy manages to escape and even frees the other people trapped by these organ brokers. In doing so, she comes into the possession of many, many of those vials that The Ghoul needs so desperately.

Meanwhile, Norm is starting to suspect that all is not what it should be in Vault 33. While the rest of the vault is preparing to elect a new overseer, he takes Chet and sneaks off to Vault 32. There, they find some horrific sights. Long dead bodies, next to messages scrawled in blood. There are especially bodies around the door that leads to Vault 31, where someone has written We Know What’s in There on the wall.

Of course, we don’t know what’s in there. But I’m sure we’re going to find out.

Norm continues to dig, checking for information on the old Overseer’s computer. And he finds that the door to Vault 32 was opened by a Pip-Boy. To be specific, it was a Pip-Boy owned by Norm and Lucy’s mother.

I’m sure that won’t be relevant later.

What worked

The more I see of this season, the more I like Lucy. She is growing and evolving as a person, just like Wilzig told her she would have to do. She is becoming harder. But her kindness and values haven’t changed yet. She is still a good person. I love that.

I also love the dark, creepy storyline with Norm. I love how serious he is, especially when compared to the rest of his community. I especially love that, even as emotionally disturbed he is by what he’s learning, he seems passionate. And from what we’ve seen of this character, this is possibly the first thing he’s felt passionate about his entire life. I am impressed with the writing and acting that have allowed us to see his lack of passion with minimal focus. He is a fun, well-written character.

Finally, I’d like to shine the spotlight on Matt Berry. He is a delightful actor known for What We Do in the Shadows and IT Crowd. And he is playing the remarkably funny role of Snip Snip, the robot surgeon. His voice lends an extra level of humor to an already funny premise. This was another example of the great casting we’ve seen so far on Fallout.

In the end, this was a great episode from all points. It was fun, heartfelt, and dark. In short, I have no notes. I’m only excited to see what happens in the next episode. 4 out of 5 stars (4 / 5)

Nightmarish Nature: Giants Among Spiders

Published

on

So, as you may have noticed, we have a special fondness for spiders here on Nightmarish Nature.  Well, they are kind of the spokes-critters for horrifying animalia, perhaps because they are so freakishly different from us.  Or maybe it’s because I find them a little disconcerting for all that I try to take the “you mind your business, I’ll mind mine” approach, at least if they stay outdoors. Or just because I really like to draw spiders for all that I prefer not to find them sharing my home (though I’ll gladly take spiders over other bugs or mice or larger critters who didn’t get an invite).

Anyway, this segment is devoted to the largest Giants Among Spiders, as if you didn’t have enough to worry about already.  And the top place is contested based upon body mass or leg length.  Most of these are tarantulas, which globally take top place among the large arachnids.

I’m hungry… I bet you are…

Goliath Birdeater Tarantula

The Goliath Birdeater Tarantula of South America is the biggest brute of spiderdom, weighing in at over 6 ounces.  They build funnel burrows and are known to eat birds (although rarely), mice, lizards, frogs, and snakes, but largely any big insects including other species of spiders.  They have urticating barbed hairs that they fling at would-be attackers as an irritant to escape.  And people even eat them after they singe the bristles off. Here’s a National Geographic video showing this spider in action, in case you wanted to see a giant spider take out a mouse.

And with the longest legs, we have the Giant Huntsman Spider of Laos, with a leg-span of 12 inches.  Their legs have twisted joints and they move in a crab-like manner, which furthers their impressive appearance. ‘Cause they’ve got legs, and know how to use ’em.  They prefer to live in underbrush and cave entrances.  These are like the big relatives of their Australian cousins, which we’ve all seen online and developed a healthy aversion to.

Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater & Brazilian Giant Tawny Red Tarantulas

Next we have two more South American species: the Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater, which boasts one-inch fangs, and the Brazilian Giant Tawny Red, believed to be the longest-lived spider with a lifespan of up to thirty years.   Both are in the tarantula family and have urticating hairs, a word you probably never read much before today unless you are in the hobby.  So apparently South America is not the best travel destination for you if you struggle with arachnophobia, though I suspect you’d figured that out already.  (I wouldn’t recommend Australia or Southeast Asia either.)

Face Size Tarantula

And finally the Face Size Tarantula, which has a very terror-inducing name reminiscent of the Face Huggers of Alien-glory.  Anyway, these spiders have an 8-inch leg-span and live in India and Sri Lanka.  They look kind of like big hairy wolf spiders with stripey legs, sometimes with pink and daffodil coloring.

American Horror Story Delicate, The Auteur

Published

on

The finale of American Horror Story Delicate aired last night. And if you were watching along with us on Threads, then you already know that it didn’t live up to any of my expectations.

Let’s discuss.

The story

We begin with Anna being ushered off stage and into an ambulance. Dex is there because Siobhan called him.

Once in the ambulance, though, the blood starts to spill. And it’s not just Anna’s. She soon finds herself in the clutches of the coven, giving birth in the most anxiety-inducing place possible. And when the baby is born, he’s taken away at once.

Because that’s the agreement that Anna made, without fully realizing what she was agreeing to.

If Anna’s going to get her baby back, she’s going to have to make another sacrifice. She is going to have to join the coven herself. Is she strong enough to do it? Is she strong enough to raise a monster?

Leslie Grossman, Emma Roberts, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Ashlie Atkinson, Michaela Jaé (MJ) Rodriguez, Billie Lourd and Juliana Canfield in American Horror Story Delicate.

What worked

This episode did have some fun elements. As a practicing witch myself, I appreciate the addition of Hestia in a positive light. Especially when this season was so focused on motherhood, womanhood, and sisterhood, Hestia was a lovely goddess to include.

For those who don’t know, Hestia is a goddess of the home and hearth, but not a maternal goddess. She was, in fact, a virgin goddess. So Adeline’s devotion to her made sense in a real-world witchcraft way. Adeline was supposed to be a symbol of female love and support. Including Hestia in this made that crystal clear.

This was made most clear with the behavior of Siobhan. She was a perfect example of a toxic person who uses sisterhood to use and manipulate others. This can be seen clearly in the flashback that begins this episode. We see Siobhan show kindness to Anna, who she wants to use while being cruel to the woman who shared her story at the start of the meeting. For Siobhan, kindness is a currency she spends to get something. And that is clear.

What didn’t work

Sadly, those two elements weren’t enough to save this episode. My first concern is that this ending had more holes in it than Swiss cheese.

This wasn’t just a matter of having questions left after the ending. These were elements that we should have seen and just didn’t. Why were the witches diluting and working with blood near the end of the episode? Why didn’t Dex Senior get what was coming to him? What the hell was with those pointed green heels? My largest question, however, is this.

Did Anna imagine all of this? Did any of it happen? We don’t know. Consider the ending. I don’t want to spoil too much of this, so I’ll only point out Anna’s gown. It’s bloody in one scene and newly clean the next. This is only the example I can share without spoiling the ending. But we have no proof that any of these things happened to her.

While it’s fine to leave some questions up to the viewer, there were too many here. Rather than feeling mysterious, it just felt incomplete. And seeing as how this episode was much shorter than a standard one, this could have easily been corrected.

I would also like to hold some space for how this season ruined the good message of the book Delicate Condition. This novel was bloody, gory, and disturbing. But it also had a beautiful message about sisterhood, and women supporting women through motherhood, career choices, and life in general. There is so much pure, sisterly love in that book.

This is entirely missing from this season. It’s often turned on its head, with women betraying each other for their own selfish desires. And honestly, I hated that.

Finally, this season finale is another example of an ending ruining a good season. AHS Delicate wasn’t without its charm. Some episodes were great fun. There were elements that I truly enjoyed as a horror fan, a witch and a woman. But this ending just soured everything good about the season. It spoiled all of the enjoyment I had. Much like Sabrina, Dexter, and the podcast Dolores Roach, the ending ruined everything that came before it.

In the end, this finale was disappointing. It didn’t deliver on its promises, it did a disservice to the source material, and it was poorly executed. This series is more than capable of better. Delicate Condition, the novel, deserved a better interpretation.

However, as a long-time fan, I can honestly say that in twelve years of content, I have genuinely disliked a season and a half of American Horror Story. This one, and the second half of Double Feature. So while AHS Delicate was a disappointment, I am looking forward to season thirteen. In the meantime, I’m going to rewatch Coven and look forward to better stories to come. 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5)
