James leaning into the theme of each movie with his costume/character is always a fun part of the kill counts, but he's clearly having such a blast with this one especially. Glad to see this movie getting the attention it deserves too, I have a real soft spot for found footage movies taking the form of a TV show after "Ghostwatch" (though that was a TV special).

Honestly my favorite part of seeing this in theaters was watching the seemingly unending studio intros and everyone getting increasingly confused until the actual movie began. I kept thinking of Mike from killer klowns going "Another door?!?"

So glad to see David Dastmalchian in a lead role finally. He is a beast in every role he plays. Talent is an understatement

I would unironically watch a late night show with David Dastmalchian as the host. He plays that part so well

I absolutely ADORED the Christou bit in the beginning of the movie. In a very short amount of time it establishes a lot of things: - It's perfectly poking fun at cringe-worthy "psychic" shows. - Still manages to show why some of those acts CAN be effective against people mourning the loss of someone close to them. - Shows the dangers of charismatic performers (He fails miserably at first yet STILL manages to win some of the audience over in the next act by pulling some heartstrings). - Gives the audience an actual creepy moment by showing how Christou actually loses control of his act and body (He suddenly stops using the accent and of course his eyes rolling to the back of his head whilst he screams in pain and terror was AMAZING!)

one of my mates dads is best friends with the directors, and they never expected this film to gain as much traction as it did. can't wait to watch this kill count!

David Dastmalchian is SO fucking good in this. He just nails the whole vibe of the 70s radio/tv show host. Honestly, I’m not sure any other actor could’ve gotten me to emotionally connect to a character named Polka Dot Man.

When I saw this film for the first time, I thought that Jack was stuck in everyone’s TVs forever as a form of torture by the demon. Sort of a “you care about the show so much, why don’t you stay in it forever?” I was admittedly disappointed that this wasn’t the case. I also like to think that Lily was using her demonic powers at the end to get Jack to put her out of her misery. I don’t imagine it would be very fun to be possessed by a demon.

“FUCKING BULLSHIT” killed me 😂

I watched this twice. Once at home and once on a plane on my way back from Mexico. The flight attendants saw me watching it and were like "Is that Late Night with the Devil? " I'm like yeah it's a great film and they're like we can't wait to see it.

7:20 I got to meet Colin Cairnes at a Q and A for this movie in Melbourne, Australia. I asked him what was the difficult part about making this film and it was using specific cameras for tv talk shows as the cinematography in this film. He even went to the same university I go to, RMIT University. That was one of my favourite cinema experiences ever.

Fun fact! If you look closely enough you can indeed see Madeline's ghost throughout the movie.

i love how james REALLY puts effort into making every opening stylistic to the movie he’s talking about. Amazing work!

1:18 I love whenever James includes themes and scenes from the movies but I gotta say the ‘audience’ reactions are my favorite so far 😂

I truly think that Minnie is the real “villain” behind all of this. She’s pissed at Jack for basically selling her soul for ratings and then immediately finding someone else so she’s destroying the show while ruining Jack’s reputation. That’s why he’s not dead at the end. He has to live with it.

“You have successfully hit metal 17 times. You have won this photograph of motorcar.”

Completely took me by surprise when I found out this was directed by Aussies and filmed here in Melbourne. It's just so... 'American' Also Vicscreen is an agency belonging to the Victorian Government in Australia that provides support for locally produced and distributed films, for anyone who's curious.

This movie reminded me of a really good Tales From The Crypt episode. I could easily see this being a great double-feature with Demon Knight.

After the events of the movie, Jack Delroy was sent to prison for the fiasco that occurred on his show. Later on, he breaks out of prison, and hides with his mother who works at Star Labs in Central City. She infects him with an inter-dimensional virus as part of a long series of experiments, and he gets deadly polka-dot powers. Afterwards, Jack changes his name to Abner Krill, and moves to Gotham City. He loses his mind, becomes the Polka-Dot man, and he gets sent back to prison thanks to the Batman. This eventually leads to the events of “The Suicide Squad” (2021), where Abner dies on his first mission with the Suicide Squad.
