You've seen Faces of Death, right? I have. Yes, of course, right? And you saw it. Yeah, I love all that stuff. Oh, it's awesome. It was great. It was great. Is everybody is everybody hip to the remake that's out this weekend? In theaters? Yeah. I know. Yeah. No. Why have you even know it was in theaters? Thank you. Why have they not made a bigger deal about the remake of it's kind of a remake, kind of not a remake? Why haven't they made a bigger? Everybody and their mother has seen Faces of Death. Yes, and everybody who wanted to go, I would have made plans. Exactly. It's so easy. Oh my God, Kristen, just mouthed I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it. You've never heard of Faces of Death? No. Oh my God. Tell me you've at least... You've heard of women. No, I would believe... You've heard of that. Wait, say that again? I've heard of women. They should have heard of that. Thank you. They like all that creepy stuff. Exactly, exactly. So the three women I'm surrounded by... No, no. I did not speak up yet. Have you heard of it? Well, I've heard of it. I have definitely never seen it. Like I said, like I said. I don't really know outside of it. It's just a compilation of different deaths, right? So, Rachel, do you want to explain it or do you want me to explain it? You can explain it. Okay, so Faces of Death, I don't even know. I want to say... I can't tell you what year it came out. Like I didn't see it when it first came out. It was... I would bet you never saw it. Actually, the history of it is it was a bomb when it first came out. Like it didn't do well in theaters, but it did great on like VHS and DVD. And it became like one of those movies that everybody saw at home because people were like, sweet, let's rush to the theaters and watch a snuff film. So there wasn't... It really didn't do well in box office numbers. 1978? I couldn't have told you what year. I definitely didn't see it in 1978. Wow. The... But that was one of those... Like I said, like nobody saw it in... Nobody saw it in the theater, but everybody saw it. That was one of those where you'd get either a group... It was a big date night movie too, where it was either a group of people, a group of friends, dates or whatever it was, and everybody would sit around the TV and you would pop on Faces of Death. And the whole movie was a... I don't want to say a compilation, like it was just like one right after the other. It was one right after the other, but not quick clips. There were situations in theaters where you saw death. Is there a plot though? Say again? Is there a story that is interwoven with all of the scenes? No, no. Like you saw, there was a play... There was definitely a plane crash. Wasn't there a beheading? I remember the monkey. Thank you. That's what everybody goes to. What happened with the monkey? Everybody goes to the monkey. So isn't... I don't remember where it was, but it's all these people that sit down. It's a group... I want to say it's four or five people that are out to dinner. Yeah. And they sit down and then they're around the dinner table and then through the middle of the table, a monkey's head pops up and you can tell the monkey's under... He just gets his head up and then they start chiseling the monkey's head to eat the brains. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Oh, it's great. Yeah. The monkey's alive. Well, yeah. Well, not at the end. Not at the end. Spoiler. Oh, no, not at the end. No, but you know. Yeah. And it's all real, no special effects. So what do you mean? Like all these scenes, the movie, just hearing of it always scared me because I did assume it was real. I'm asking you so many years later, have they uncovered that maybe some of this stuff was not true? Do you want the spoiler or not? I'm not going to go back and watch this. I don't spoil the one that's in theaters now. The one that's in theaters now is getting great reviews and it's not it's not done the same way as the original faces of death. They're almost calling it like a meta remake of the original. It's 1978. I'll spoil it for you. None of it's real. Oh. None of it's real. I thought you were going to get the other direction. No, you can't release a snuff film. I guess it's not really a snuff film. It would just be a movie of capturing footage of people dying. But none of it was real. Now, I think that when Rachel, when you saw it, you thought it was real, right? Or you went in with the mindset of this is real, right? Of course. Yeah. And everybody did. Everybody did. And it wasn't until years later that you would learn through, I don't even know how I ended up learning, but you learn none of it's real. It's not you're not really watching a beheading. You're not really watching. But like even even like the like I just caught out of the corner of my eye, that that was the box, the VHS box. You'd see it at the video store. Yeah. Oh, of course. And it was like warning, don't tell your parents or something like that. Like it was it was great. I don't remember how I learned or maybe I had read about it at some point. But that was that was like you when you finally learned that it none of it was real. You were like, oh, well, that kind of sucks. The monkey, the none of it is real. Now, is that is that monkey scene based on something that that goes on overseas? Yeah, unfortunately, that was that was based on real life. But none of the none of the stuff in the movie is real. I mean, there there may have been before somebody's like my next part. The there may they may show a car crash that is real footage or something. But the actual deaths that you see are not real. So I had nothing to be scared of. No, I mean, it's still even. I don't like scary movies. So I still would have been frightened. But I really thought I mean, the cover, like you said, everybody reads, experience the graphic reality of death close up. Yeah, I'll pass. It's not real. Because that's out. Yeah, but that's out. That's that. Of course. We're all curious. I listen, are you great? I'll go back to the sports section at Videotown and see what new WWE VHS is. But it was banned in countries like yes, because people I'm telling you, there was no internet like Twitter didn't exist for people to go. It ain't real. Like it was all word of mouth. And again, it wasn't like people saw it in the in the theater. So you watched it in the privacy of your own home. And it was secretive that you were watching faces of death. And I can remember watching it a couple of times. As a matter of fact, one time that I watched it, I was with Milkman. And his one of his one of his friends was there. That's where Diggin' for Worms came from. You didn't invent that term. No, no. But what the girl that I was sitting on the couch with, Doug for Worms during the during faces of death. Well, she didn't want to watch the movie. She wanted to occupy herself. OK, so she was hiding from the screen. Yeah. And I was having a snake. It's not a remake of the original. And it's not even the same like. We're going to examine it. This is almost, I don't want to say flip the script, but it's almost how we examine how we see death. So they're going to try to pass it off as no. No, no, no, no, you know, Charlie XCX is in it. Really? Yeah. By the way, it's not a limited release. I'm looking at the theaters. It's everywhere. Is it really? I didn't think it was like Art House. Like you had to go to like the Angelica. No. But I didn't think it would be like in in 5000 screens. There's three screens within 10 miles of us. Oh, wow. So it got a bigger release than I thought. You know what? Maybe it does well. Maybe it maybe it crushes it this weekend. And this. So if they flip the script, so was the first one good? Yes. Was it more like a presented as a documentary? What do you mean? Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I can see that. If you flip the script on a documentary, I'm thinking mockumentary. Like, is this one comedic? I don't I don't know. I don't think it is. I don't think it is. Maybe it is. I have no idea. I have no clue if it's a comedy or not. What does Ron Tomato say? The exploration of the original films, infamous, is it real or not? Conceit continues as a woman working as a content moderator for a major video game platform, discovers what appears to be reenactments of murders from the original film. Awesome. Nothing can be trusted. She must determine whether the violence is fiction or unfolding in real time. See weren't there cases that are were rising from the original and they played out in court because of copycat deaths? And like, was that all fake? Was that all just like urban legend? Oh, that I don't know. I don't know. I'm looking at Faces of Death on DoesTheDogDie.com. The new one, the new one. Do you think it beats Mario this weekend? Uh oh. What? There's an upvote for is there is is there a sad animal? There was a sad animal in the first one. That monkey's head got popped open. Hi, Elliott in the morning. Elliott, what is wrong with you? What do you mean? Not, Tyler, you don't need to see it. It's awful. I went down to Elon and these dudes put it in. And the first thing I saw was a dude jumped out of a window. Right. And he is a puddle on the ground, but he's still alive. Yes. And he's breathing shallow and he's just a puddle with a head. Can I show a guy that stole something in Indonesia and they just cut his arm, his hands off. Remember that? That was a good scene. They just like they sharpen the knife and the guy standing there. And I'm like, they're not going to do this. And off goes his hand. Can I ask? Can I ask you this? The movie's great. The movie's awesome. The but it's disturbing. It's not real. It's not real. Yes. Oh, yes. The first one was no, it wasn't. Oh, that dude, that dude that tried to kill himself jumping out of a window and didn't. That was real. It's not nothing in there is real. Can I ask you this? Did you ever when's the last time you saw it? I think I've seen it like 20 years. If you go back and watch it. Oh, listen, when the first time, the first, the first couple of times I watched it, I thought it was real and it's disturbing. And then you learn it's not and you're like, oh, all right, that was good. I've lived my whole life. I'm 60 and I've lived my whole life disturbed thinking it was real. No, can I ask you that? Plenty of people that side with him. It's not real. Who can't believe what you're saying. It's not real. I can't comment because I haven't seen it. The can I ask you this? Did you ever see Star Wars? Yes, Elliott, I saw Star Wars. Were you were you this troubled when the lightsaber took the arm off? Elliott, just bearing that to the dude that's sitting in a puddle of his own organs, I think it's real. OK, Tyler, when I say he's sitting in a puddle of his own organs, you see just miles of intestine and blood. It it's not good. It's also it's also not real. I disagree. Wait, hold on. Well, I'm telling you, what is it? Angry mob. What does it say right here? What does it say right here? Well, that's your own notes. Take it from the an article I was reading. Yes, you face is of death is not real. Wait, thank you, sir. What Sarah? What they're saying it was who's they? They say the film utilized stock footage of autopsy, morgues and a real bear attack and actual slaughterhouse footage of animals. But 60 percent was fake. Yes, but then they use stock footage. Yes, you could show plane crashes. Right. So that's half the film is real. OK, can you back up for a second? Can you back up? Yes, be kind, rewind the. You can show. Yes, if they showed a slaughterhouse, that's fine. You could show that in movies. You can't show somebody actually dying. You can't show somebody actually getting their arm cut off. So like that part's not real. So if you told me they showed stock footage of a plane crash, you could go. I could go I could go into a theater now. I can't think of a movie, but I could go into a theater now where they show footage of a real life incident based around a movie. But you wouldn't go, oh, the movie's real. That moment that they show in there is real. Faces of death is not real. Oh, OK, but we have gone from zero percent. No, yes, to 40 percent. What? Why can't I think of an example? Let me create a movie, right? Let's pretend the Force Awakens. No, let's pretend that I'm making the Mighty Ducks, which is not a real movie. But if a TV, excuse me, if a TV inside the movie is showing the miracle on ice game, that's real. So you're going to come in and go, oh, no, no, that's real. That's real. No, you would go like that little moment is real. Yes. Again, having not seen it, all I can do is laugh. But I hope you think the bad thing is real in the guy. I have not seen it. But people who have is it streaming, pull it up. Well, someone who has seen it now respond to Elliot's Mighty Ducks comparison. Oh, you want me to see if the original is available at home? What are you not at your house? You say is it streamed online? Yeah, yes, streaming on. Oh, yes. Yeah. Can people pull up Netflix? See if it's on Netflix right now. There's no way it's on Netflix. Why it's going to be the number one movie this weekend, not the remake. The remake. But if I owned the if I had those streaming rights to the original, I'd be hearing that nonstop. I'd have a face as a death marathon. Amazon Prime video. OK, pull that up. We'll watch and hear it. And you'll tell me no whether or not. And that may be one you still have to buy. It's not actually on the server. Hi, Elliot. The morning. Hello. Yeah. Hi. Who's that? Yes, Jason. Yes, sir. What can I? Yes, sir. What can I do for you? I've seen about I think they've made like two or three of those faces of death. And I've seen all of them. Now, didn't they? I was going to say after the first one found such at home success. I do want to say I don't think I saw like faces of death, too, or faces of death, three there and there may have been more than that. I definitely remember faces of death, too. But I never watched it like like you stuck with the original. It's not like the Godfather where people were like, hey, the second one may be better than the first one. But the first one was fantastic. Yeah, the first one was good. I think the other ones they didn't do as well as the first one was. But I vaguely remember in the first one, it was like a senator or somebody had committed suicide in front of all and a whole council member. Now, that's a true story. That's a true story out of out of Pennsylvania, where that. Yeah, and it was on a snow day and everybody was home from school and everybody thought that the guy, what was the senator's name? Is this the bud Dwyer? Yeah, but Dwyer that he was going to resign that that was it. So they had a press conference and he pulled a gun out of the envelope and ended up shooting himself on on what was carried nationally. And he's saying that was in one of the films. Yeah. Yeah. The I don't want to fuck out to me the most. I don't remember that. But was that on a TV behind? Was it like? I don't know. We're on the video. Wait, wait, was bugged. Wait, thank you, sir. What? There are so many messages saying it is real. It's not real. Oh, wrong. It's not real. Hold on. Where I'm going to. There's a whole reddit saying that everyone thought it was completely real. Everybody did think it was down to find out it's only 40 percent real. No, it's more than that. Wait, where is it in here? Where is it in here? I got to find it where it says it's not real. Much of what happens in Faces of Death is not real. Beginning with the names, both Alan Black and Conan Leclerc, who made the movie, the latter meant to sound like the word killer with a French accent. We're pseudonyms for John Schwartz, who was a TV editor. Hold on. Well, that's just their names are fake. Here we go. Faces of Death presented itself as educational fair, an anthropological study of different cultures. Where's the part where it says that it's not fake? Kept proving Schwartz was nearing. He started making things up and shooting snippets to embellish what he had already had shot, the person falling to their death from the top of the building. That's not real. But it does not sound like it said that. You just added that. Right. The alligator making quick work of the screaming animal control officer, which include a genuine alligator, but a dummy stuffed with a dead pig. That's not real. Well, I mean, yes, the alligator did attack something a mannequin. Then there's the monkey in the audience. Then there's the monkey deal because they don't want to believe they don't want. This is like this is this would be well, never mind. We did help them with childhood trauma if they learned it was fake. The but you don't want to let it go. In what might be faces of deaths, most infamous scene, a group of four unsuspecting tourists sit down for a most unusual dining adventure at a restaurant somewhere in the Middle East, a mustached waiter claps his hands and another brings in a screeching capuchin out of the back, placing its body in a hole and fastening a wooden collar around its neck so its head sits level with the table. Then as their wives gasp and discuss the two male patrons take mallets. They've been offered and whack the primate skull until it's cracked open. Not real. Can we do fellow phone calls? Even the descriptions are faker or not. I know it's awful. Descriptions are terrible. And it did so well when it came out banned in 46 countries. Yes, what I read. Now, the movie did did end up getting banned in a couple of countries. Yeah, faces of death is not real. Thank you. The very first sentence you read said many of the scenes. Yes, because the alligator attack is real, but not on a real person. It's the mighty ducks with real in the background. It's the exact same thing. Line one. Hi, Yelena, the morning. Hello. Yeah, hi. Who's this? I'm going to go with Fred. Yes, Fred. What can I do for you? Okay. So I saw all of the movie. Well, I think I saw all of them. I know that my buddy, when we were snowed, I said in high school, brought over at least four of them. Okay. I had a hard time. I had a hard time watching them, actually. We all did. But yeah, just to give you a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little just for clarification, they were basically like true crime drama where they do a lot of it's based on a real story, something that actually happened like the game organ getting attacked by the alligator. The snake rank or again, that gets put in the death by a great scene by the way of Grand Rapids under so major snake. Right. Yes, and they're reenactments. They're reenactments. Yeah, they were all real things. They filmed reenactments, but the thing that set the faces of the Death series apart from normal reenactment stuff is at the end of each segment when they showed all the autopsy footage and whatnot, that part was all real. Yeah, but that's okay. No, but that's okay. No. I'm still in the sports section. Yeah, so like after the shark attack, when they showed the person that had bled out, missing a leg. Great scene. That was actually real. That was their actual autopsy. Yes, but the attack wasn't. I can show autopsy pictures. I can put them up on screen right now. You're probably one of those weirdos when the smoking gun first made a name for itself and published all those celebrities' autopsies. You probably were the first one to look at them. I don't think I was the first one. And if these are reenactments, as someone who's been behind the scenes and starred in one, you should have been more protective of it. Sarah. Elliot. I almost said rescue 911. No, it was America's most wanted. AMW. Yeah. Yeah. I was the first one to get a starring role. He had a role. I played a gym worker. Oh, yeah. Gym worker. Did you get nominated? No, and I don't like the tone. I don't like the tone, really. No, but I didn't do it to get nominated. No, I did it to help capture bad guys, which we did too. But yeah, it was good. America's most wanted is caught a lot more than two. But yes, no, that was good. That was great. That was great. That was great. Yeah, that's a reenactment. Reenactment. What I can think about is the rescue 911 episode that traumatized me, the kid who got her tongue stuck in the yuhu bottle. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be number one. The sequel is getting great reviews, so good for Charlie XCX.
