I love this movie too. I have a phobia of them too. Along time ago I watched Arachnophobia with my buddies and they loved the movie. I have to say for the 1st time watching the whole movie I actually liked it even more and I finally faced my fears with this movie. Except in real life though lol .
I slept on this movie for so long and only watched last year for the first time. It has some surprising performances in and has some really scary spider scenes. Spiders jumping at ya will always get me 😅
Eight Legged Freaks is still really fun. And the CG for the most part is decent enough for the kind of movie it is. It’s like an early 2000’s Gremlins.
Last physical I had, my doctor just put two fingers next to my junk and had me cough. Way less awkward. Thanks Doc. lol But as a kid in the 80s/90s there was definitely a fear of having our balls grabbed due to scenes like this. It was definitely a "thing" back then.
I was 6 years old when this came out. I still remember seeing the poster on the video store and the trailer on TV. I hate spiders and I loved this movie, scared the crap out of me. Such an early 90's classic.
It’s true that spiders have an exoskeleton, it doesn’t make them prone to shattering upon impact from falls. In fact, their exoskeletons are made of flexible, tough chitin, which provides protection and some level of shock absorption. Because spiders are lightweight and experience relatively low terminal velocity, their bodies don’t hit the ground with enough force to cause them to shatter or break apart.
This movie absolutely gave me irrational fear of spiders! Such a great movie though, and it's about time you gave it the VERY famous treatment. Great episode!
The first scary movie I ever saw. Was watching it with my family as a child, my dad leaves for a few minutes just to jump scare me. He used his fingertips to tickle my neck. I was so scared, I think that was the first time I swore. I didn't talk to him for two days. Aaahhh memories.
The ball grab and cough is to check for inguinal hernias. The head turn is just so you don't cough in the Dr's face. For athletes like football players or wrestlers, it's common.
I rewatched this last month, and DAMN does it still hit hard. Goodman is the best! That end battle throws off the tone of the movie slightly, but it's still a blast. Great review guys!
I watch this movie about 5 times a week. One of my staples! I have a fear of spiders, I thought exposing myself to this movie when I was a child would help with that. 30 years later, still working on that.. 5:08
I used to have a pet house centipede. When they feed they wrap around their prey like a snake, and they spend hours each day cleaning every one of their legs.
So this is where The Collector(Juan Fernandez) first became fascinated with rare specimens. He’s the Dominican guy with Dr. Atherton in the beginning of the film.
Frank Marshall and Jimmy Buffett were, in fact, long-time friends and worked together a bunch. Podcast: The Ride has covered a lot of Jimmy Buffett lore and Frank Marshall comes up repeatedly.
The Mortician did a lot of things I seen. He was the head of "Recall" from Total Recall and he was on Star Trek Nextgen of the strategist in the episode Peak Performance
These "Australian huntsman" spiders are everywhere where I live...and I'm still a little b**ch when I see one because of this film. Pretty dope they used our spiders
Finally, someone else who knows that Sarah Michelle Gellar was NOT the OG Buffy, it was Kristy Swanson, and i always thought she played the character way better than Gellar, such an underrated movie.
If you guys hadn't mentioned the orkin commercial prior, I would have fell victim to the spider bit. But in your defense, it did get me a little bit. Lol
When I was 12 years old I had to do the turn your head and cough while this man was cradling my testicles. It was so I could go to boy scout camp which wasn't all that fun also. As a result I have avoided the doctor unless it was for an emergency room visit for the last 20 years.😅
I remember watching this when i was a kid with my older sisters and their friends and while watching a daddy long legs was coming down from the ceiling and my mum saw it was like look a spider my sister be like yeah yeah after abit my mum was like no seriously my sister and one of her friends looked up and they quickly jumped all in all this movie was great shame theres going to be a remake
Wait, is that how the climax went? I haven't watched the movie in decades but everything in the first two-thirds came rushing back to me through the discussion, yet I could have sworn that Goodman died in Atherton's place and that Bridges found the body right before the final confrontation. Serious Mandela Effect, I guess. Anyone else?
One thing that I always notice is that they say the spiders lack reproductive organs, but when they say this they are looking at a tarantula. If you've ever looked at one you'll notice they actually have ten legs; the front pair are used by males to deposit sp*rm in the female. Yeah, I'm a nerd... 😅
Can you guys do an episode on Mary Reilly (1996)? To me it's the third entry in the 90s Gothic trilogy after Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Tarantulas actually do touch legs during mating. The male then lifts the female up to expose the belly and then punches her abdomen repeatedly. Okay, he doesn't actually punch her, but that's what it looks like. 😂
I recently had a toilet spider crawl up my butt.. Luckily it was a Poop-Eating spider.. It must still be alive cause I haven't deuced in close to seven months. So far it's saved me $87 on my water bill.

Best Spider horror movie. yet to be topped.
Best horror comedy eight-legged freaks
Seeing John Goodman running around wearing a pesticide tank sprayer makes me wonder how he would've done as one of the Ghostbusters.
I think he'd be a good fit honestly!
True he would have bin great I say haha
... Surprised that never happened considering he was friends with Akroyd.
"AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES?"
@@JohnnyBurnes Well, they did Blue Brothers 2000 instead.
John Goodman was the best character in the movie.
As a kid, I thought he WAS the main character.
*me seeing Tony clean shaven*
"Where's the rest of ya..."
Like people who defend themselves in court? You'll die watching the Darell Brooks hearings!
Spiders don't scare me, but beardless Tony does.
I have arachnophobia and I love this movie so much, I just squint during the spider scenes
I love this movie too. I have a phobia of them too. Along time ago I watched Arachnophobia with my buddies and they loved the movie. I have to say for the 1st time watching the whole movie I actually liked it even more and I finally faced my fears with this movie. Except in real life though lol .
Eight legged freaks is still good, i rewatxh it every year
I slept on this movie for so long and only watched last year for the first time. It has some surprising performances in and has some really scary spider scenes. Spiders jumping at ya will always get me 😅
Is it one you recommend?
@kdusel1991 for sure! A solid movie. Have rewatched and probably will again. And I have arachnophobia 😄
Eight Legged Freaks is still really fun. And the CG for the most part is decent enough for the kind of movie it is. It’s like an early 2000’s Gremlins.
OMG YOU GOT ME WITH THE SPIDER IN THE END YOU SOBS...that was good though, I looked up at my phone and my heart skipped a beat

"That's right I'm big, I'm bad"
The "ball cough" is a check for hernias
Thought it was for prostate exams!
Tony got taken advantage of
Last physical I had, my doctor just put two fingers next to my junk and had me cough. Way less awkward. Thanks Doc. lol

Thanks for the episode.
51:18 That was Family Ties. Vaguely remember seeing it on TV as a kid with the intro. As a kid it was, "Hey, Marty McFly is in this!"
I was 6 years old when this came out. I still remember seeing the poster on the video store and the trailer on TV. I hate spiders and I loved this movie, scared the crap out of me. Such an early 90's classic.
I haven't watched this movie in a long time. I always check my shoes and slippers for bugs before I put them on because of this movie.
I was scared to take a shower for a month after seeing this movie.

Thank god for Hack the Movies!
Still love the hell out of this flick. Also Tony is quite handsome, nearly clean shaven.
I feel like this movie with the Dr Death thing came out before Kovorkian made headlines but they were pretty close. 80s/90s kid here. lol
Thank you Tony for constantly using character names when describing the movies. I wish some of the co-hosts would do the same. 😊
This movie absolutely gave me irrational fear of spiders! Such a great movie though, and it's about time you gave it the VERY famous treatment. Great episode!
FINALLY. Do you have any idea how many times I searched this title for no reason?
Speaking of Dr. Death: Jack Kevorkian. There was an HBO movie about him and was played by Al Pacino. You know who else was in it? John Goodman
The first scary movie I ever saw. Was watching it with my family as a child, my dad leaves for a few minutes just to jump scare me. He used his fingertips to tickle my neck. I was so scared, I think that was the first time I swore. I didn't talk to him for two days. Aaahhh memories.
You should totally review Eight Legged Freaks Tony.
THIMBS UP!!! Love the animation at the beginning countdown.
The ball grab and cough is to check for inguinal hernias. The head turn is just so you don't cough in the Dr's face. For athletes like football players or wrestlers, it's common.

I HAVE A SPIDER FEAR BECAUSE OF THIS MOVIE
nice too see you got all the merch out after cinemassacre failed... are you still right next to Calldor or di that get bought by Blizzards too??
Eight legged freaks is awesome.
My favorite TPB episodes all have Philadelphia Collins in them. BAAAMMMM!
The ball coughing things is to check for hernia, had it few years ago.
I watch this movie about 5 times a week. One of my staples! I have a fear of spiders, I thought exposing myself to this movie when I was a child would help with that. 30 years later, still working on that.. 5:08
I used to have a pet house centipede. When they feed they wrap around their prey like a snake, and they spend hours each day cleaning every one of their legs.
I catch them when I find them & release them in my basement to help control the spider population.
You should look up the giant asian variety! Went down a rabbit hole mid-episode and now I want like twenty of them.
So this is where The Collector(Juan Fernandez) first became fascinated with rare specimens. He’s the Dominican guy with Dr. Atherton in the beginning of the film.
Frank Marshall and Jimmy Buffett were, in fact, long-time friends and worked together a bunch. Podcast: The Ride has covered a lot of Jimmy Buffett lore and Frank Marshall comes up repeatedly.
Loved this review. I was obsessed with this film as a wee lad. Good job
Hi Tim!!
54:20 a longer scene of Goodman hunting backed by For Whom The Bell Tolls would have been epic.
About time
Who is this beardless stranger and what has he done with Tony?
Such a good movie! Thank you for reviewing this!
I watch Arachnophobia a Month ago it’s really good i used to watch this movie a lot when i was a kid.
The guy that's snacking is also in total recall
he also played an alien that data beat on star trek tng
This one is gold Tony, great movie!
Hell yeah love this movie John Goodman rules in this movie
Remember the eye cake
More TPB talk would be rad!
The old lady that plays the original doctors wife is the same one Jerry steals the marble rye from in that episode of Seinfeld. 😃
The Mortician did a lot of things I seen. He was the head of "Recall" from Total Recall and he was on Star Trek Nextgen of the strategist in the episode Peak Performance
Does anybody else remember a B&W version of this on cable?
It added a little more of a classic horror to it
Tony, my man. Glad you finally got around to this classic, but I'm asking yet again - where is "Malibu's Most Wanted" review with Manny Muskets?
These "Australian huntsman" spiders are everywhere where I live...and I'm still a little b**ch when I see one because of this film. Pretty dope they used our spiders
Ive never seen arachnophobia, except a few clips on tv when i was little. Ill be watching it tonight so i can watch tomorrow! Review Stay Alive (2006)
Finally, someone else who knows that Sarah Michelle Gellar was NOT the OG Buffy, it was Kristy Swanson, and i always thought she played the character way better than Gellar, such an underrated movie.
Jimmy Buffet also had a cameo in Hook (also co-produced by Marshall).
😂😂😂 love that cg spider 🕷 over the screen

Take a shot every time Tony calls Jeff Daniels, Jeff Bridges. lol
15:13 I'm not sure if all tarantulas do it, but the males do hold up the females front legs so they don't get merked while inseminating them.
Gross
Full circle moment
@25:52 Chekov's nail gun.
Love this movie
Ally McBeal is streaming on Hulu.
Dan Conner doing whatever it took to feed his family.
Wait, is that how the climax went?

I saw a clip from a movie the other day that I haven't seen in over a decade and I'd love you to do a video about it, Ultraviolet with Milla Jovovich.
One thing that I always notice is that they say the spiders lack reproductive organs, but when they say this they are looking at a tarantula. If you've ever looked at one you'll notice they actually have ten legs; the front pair are used by males to deposit sp*rm in the female. Yeah, I'm a nerd... 😅
Sent this to Goodman and Frank Marshall.
Tony's muscles are getting really distracting; i feel like this show is setting unrealistic expectations for mens' body health
this movie fucked me up more than any movie as a kid
Sure is
we need a children of the corn ranking lol
Can you guys do an episode on Mary Reilly (1996)? To me it's the third entry in the 90s Gothic trilogy after Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Really just here to see how many people said it's to check for a hernia..
Squeeze the balls and cough is to check for a hernia
I'm not sure spiders die from falling so easily. Maybe Tarantulas, but even then I'm not so sure.
Noice
Fire in the Sky eye stab scene is 😬
I need to get used to seeing Tony with less facial hair.
I swear I didn’t even notice until I saw your comment. I was distracted by his outfit. Lol.
Me too! It's weird for him to not have a full beard!
@@kdusel1991 I think it was for his Halloween costume. I’m assuming the beard will be back!
Frank Marshall did Alive after this, not Congo.
hi tony can you show me how to have hair like you. your old long hair style was the best. show me how
Arachnophobia is backnophobia
Wait how does Tony somehow look less clean shaven without a beard 😆
Rock n Roll
47:04 you're banned
Eight Legged Freaks rules.
Tarantulas actually do touch legs during mating. The male then lifts the female up to expose the belly and then punches her abdomen repeatedly. Okay, he doesn't actually punch her, but that's what it looks like. 😂
I recently had a toilet spider crawl up my butt.. Luckily it was a Poop-Eating spider.. It must still be alive cause I haven't deuced in close to seven months. So far it's saved me $87 on my water bill.
Could you pls make a review of "Blast" from 1997???
Where is the main host, Crystal? Bring her back! Bring her back! This is a travesty!
Link to the hat, Tony
This movie made me deathly afraid of spiders as a child. Do not show your young children this movie!
I agree with this 1000%
