Can we please all just thank Chelsea for doing all of this research to bring us well-informed, structured and entertaining podcasts? Love the Dead Meat channel and our Mum and Dad ❤ ty Chelsea and James
This is why this is one of the only podcasts that I willingly watch. I’m such a nerd and I LOVE when people dive into subjects and really analyze them! 🤓🥰
my dad is a pilot (and I've picked up a few things). lightning strikes don't really damage planes because they aren't grounded. they just kinda bounce off. chances are you've been in a plane thats been struck by lightning and haven't even noticed.
The Crow gun incident is actually pretty crazy, there's an old Unsolved Mysteries episode that goes into the chain of events that caused the gun to go off and it also goes into Bruce Lees death too and their family curse. It gets a little supernatural when connecting them, but the gun information is really informative.
I respect the hell outta Chelsea. She puts the work in every week and gets shit done. Research (and a lack of patience) would drive me nuts. A round of applause for Chelsea!
@@punkuke However retrospectively fits better in context considering that her annoyance is based on a previous experience, and that she is expressing annoyance rather that making any physical action, which the use of 'retroactively' would imply.
@@andrewmcleod3659 While it does fit slightly better, both words are correct here. Besides, it's unnecessary and plain rude to correct people about things like this.
My heart bled for Chelsea, but at the same time watching her lose her shit while James just looked at the camera like "Oh man, y'all. I'm dying, but if I laugh, she'll kill me" had me cracking up.
@@arumidden I looked at it frame by frame and it looks like the air from him turning his head did it, not unusual for those figurines that are propped on their feet
Despite the depressing nature of the subject matter, I adore Chelsea's commitment to fact-checking and sourcing all of the claims. The dedication of going through rabbit holes of internet rumors to ensure the episode's accuracy is something else.
I think it’s a length thing. I don’t regularly watch due to time but certain topics that really interest me I’ll stick around for it. I also listen on apple podcasts a lot on my way to work and during my lunch break. My guess is it’s a similar situation for other people.
59:42 is my favorite part and I keep laughing- Chelsea: The Passion of The Christ James: *About to say something but pauses. Realizing and looks back down*
We appreciate all the time and effort that you put into these episodes Chelsea. I always look forward to the podcast and how in depth you go on the topics while making it a chill and enjoyable time.
My copy of the Exorcist has a 'making of' special which includes talk about the curse with interviews with the cast and crew and wierdly I find that special is scarier than the film!
Hey, I'm a Cast Member and it has been confirmed to me, that it is still a real skull on the ride. Here's the full story if you don't know it. When building the ride, Imagineering was not happy with how fake the skeletons looked. They reached out to UCLA, who provided them with real skeletons. When technology got better and more convincing fake skeletons could be made, the real ones where given a proper burials. The only thing that could not be replaced was the skull in the head piece in the Captain Quarters. That is the only confirmed skull left in the ride.
Great video guys! Some additional details on Brandon Lee’s onset death. As Chelsea mentioned, the film’s crew decided to make their own dummy rounds, which normally have the bullet and the casing but no primer and no gun powder, from normal live ammunition. The crew removed the gun powder but not the primer. At some point, this faulty dummy round was placed in a weapon and the trigger was pulled. The remaining primer contained enough force to project the bullet out of it’s casing and lodge it in the gun barrel. Later, this same gun was used to film a shooting scene using blank rounds which contain the primer and gun powder and omit the bullet. The blank round combined with the leftover bullet stuck in the barrel effectively created a live round and killed Brandon Lee.
The examination of the 'Brave Little Toaster' curse was a brilliant example of this phenomenon. Another factor to consider is that many people who are drawn to the arts struggle with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, which sometimes (but definitely not always!) lead to bad outcomes.
It's super cute and funny when Chelsea rants about the research and references The Human Centipede. That said, thank you for doing the research. It sounds so tedious.
Stranger: "If you watch this movie..there's no telling what will happen to you." Protagonist: "...small price to pay for salvation." *Process to watch movie*
Except nowadays it goes more like: Stanger: Watch at your own risk. Protagonist: Okay, lol, whatever you say, old man! *Proceeds to watch* Stranger: WhY dId YoU wAtCh It??? Protagonist: Yo, I streamed the whole thing, lmao. It was pretty spooky! Stranger: Y O U D I D W H A T ? ? ? Y O U I D I O T !
I see a pattern for almost all of these podcasts. Chelsea "I had to do a ton of research for this" James "Yeah, I just had to drink a martini and show up"
Nothing can be worse than the twilight zone movie tragedy. Three people died including two children when a helicopter fell on them decapitating two of the three.
@@dannymiller7187 I know i'm a year late to this comment, nut that was such a wholesome comment. It actually made me smile, especially after seeing all of the hostile comments i've seen today. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for being good people.
Bless Chelsea for working her ass off for the research. I knew most of the facts since I’ve researched these films too, but it’s fun to hear the banter and opinions that aren’t mine or the writers of the articles
Joe Raft was also the voice of Weezie the penguin from Toy Story 2. I know him for his work with Pixar (and his untimely death) but didn't know he wrote Brave Little Toaster, which is interesting because the end of Toy Story 3 always makes me think of the end of Brave Little Toaster. Those 70s/80s kids movies are so dark.
real skeletons in movies were actually sort of common in the 80's. the skeletons in movies like texas chainsaw massacre part 2 and phenomena i've heard were also real.
Love this podcast omg!! It’s seems so natural and you guys have such good chemistry together. Stumbled onto the practical folks content a while back and have been loving this channel ever since. Always excited when I see notifications for this channel, keep it up!!!
Loved the Podcast. I'm glad you guys went the honest route with this and not the sensationalized, overly dramatic route most channels take. Also, Joe Rogan was good friends with Phil Hartman. I wonder if that's why Joe was so agressive with Andy Dick on his podcast and on News Radio.
This episode did not go how I thought it would, and I love it so much. Everything you guys do is such an interesting take!! Thanks for another amazing podcast episode!
Lucy could sense the stress Chelsea was feeling and kept trying to keep her balanced. This is why I love cats. I love this channel as well. So well researched and presented. James and Chelsea are a fantastic team! 💜
Suzanne MenuetTGB lol, if you really want to know just look up his channel, he is a big TH-camr, friends with jacksepticeye and pewdiepie. If you don’t care then don’t look it up :)
I’m not skeptical with paranormal activity because I do believe in spirits and ghosts, but I’m not sure how much I believe in curses. No matter what, great podcast guys!
First of all, you go Chelsea! We all really appreciate your research. Secondly, I love when Lucy shows up and just sits in front of the camera. She is just like my cat
In high school, there was a kid in our theatre department who would say "Macbeth" before every show. It got to the point where if he didn't, something would go wrong, so I think we reversed the curse on itself.
Look at the credits on any movie, see how huge that list is (if you're a marvel fan you've seen a LOT of names), of course someone involved probably died, if not during the movie, sometime shortly after. It's not a curse, it's just the sad truth that if you take a long enough scope, any story is going to involve death.
Chelsea’s out here giving the “Dead Meat” name a depression side! Thank you for all your hard work this was sad but interesting I remember. Ring told about the little girl in poltergeist when I was like 12 and my mum thought she got septic shock from a tampon or something (this put me off tampons for life by the way 😂) and was giving me the talk on why if you use tampons you have to remember to change them then I just used pads!
If I had even half the concentration and dedication that Chelsea has while doing research, I would have finished my undergrad in four years instead of five. Thank you for all the hard work!
You're only supposed to refrain from saying Macbeth in a theatre. And if you do, you have to go outside and run around the theatre counterclockwise three times and then knock until someone let's you in. I had to do it, circa 2011.
@@jamiehowell3856 Oh I've never met anybody who actually believes it, but we do it because it's tradition and you're a little afraid of what will happen if you don't.
I always find it funny when horror fans aren't also into true crime. as a fan of both, I love this episode. just makes me giggle that Chelsea is like "I hate this, this is such a downer"
I took a break from dead meat just before the channel hit 1.5 million and just 2 weeks ago I came back and have been binge watching the channel and I have to say it is still amazing and even better than when I took a break! Keep yo the amazing work you two all your hard work is really paying off! Also congrats on two million!!
You guys are beautiful, wonderful people and it's amazing how you put so much effort into your videos. I listen to the podcasts here almost every night as I fall asleep. Love the work you guys put in to this! Keep up the great work!
At least Disneyland used to have multiple human skeletons on pirates of the Caribbean but they removed all of them accept for the skull on the headboard
my old latin teacher thought the devil tried to stop the excorcist from being made and that's why it's cursed. he was a very superstitious guy. edit: he also thought watching any horror movie won't summons demons but that it would "open doors"
I remember seeing the news of Elizabeth O'Rourke's death on the news when I was a kid. I knew about her dying before I knew about what happened to Dominick Dunne. The earliest celebrity death I remember hearing about on the evening news, though, was Clara Peller. Because the opening statement that the newscaster gave wasn't "Clara Peller has passed away," it was "The 'Where's the Beef' lady has died." In contrast, the opening statement for Elizabeth's passing was "Elizabeth O'Rourke, the little girl known for her work on the Poltergeist series, died earlier today." Heather's death and Judith Barsi's death are probably two of the most heartbreaking of all time as far as child deaths go. The first celebrity death that really affected me, however, had to be Jim Henson. That one hurt and I remember how crushed I was when I heard the news.
I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite episode, Chelsea need to do more episode that make her go a little crazy. Because it was so funny to watch. Plus they are both really tired, and James might be a little tipsy. They were also just bouncing off one another😂
I remember watching what I believe was the E! True Hollywood Story about the Poltergeist curse, and it was so creepy and upsetting. I think there was something that happened with a member of Zelda Rubinstein's family during filming, too.
Yeah I did my dissertation on Poltergeist and I absolutely understand your pain and rage! Seriously, Poltergeist has a higher body count among the cast then in the entire series.
Depressing fact about Heather O'Rourke: She celebrated her birthday on the set of the first Poltergeist. Because she couldn't drink with the adults, Spielberg promised to buy her a drink on her 21st birthday. Ouch.
This was amazing and you guys are AMAZING. Honestly though I'm a little upset we didn't get a mention of The Crow. That movie has some validity in my opinion with all the accidents that happened.
It’s funny that you mention the way they got the skeletons for Poltergeist, because in the beginning of Return of the Living Dead two characters actually have a full on conversation about how shady the practice of getting skeletons used to be and they actually say there’s a skeleton farm in India! James Karen was also in Poltergeist and ROTLD both, which makes another fun connection.
Chelsea is very correct with the lightning strike statistic and no, you don't feel it since you are not grounded. It's like a car. It's also very rare that something bad happens in connection to this.
Aw Chelsea thank you for going through Chinese manifestos it’s the sign of a great TH-camr matpatt does stuff like that all the time it may not feel great but it helps a ton keeping people engaged
The Macbeth Curse has to do with saying it in a theatre. Outside of a theatre, I do not think it matters. At least, to some people. For others, they do not say it anywhere.
House of Wax could be considered cursed on these lists. Nobody died or got hurt, but while filming the movie in Australia, the entire studio got burned down, because they (stupidly) used real fire and real wax. The movie was filmed in 2004 and they were aiming for a Halloween release. But due to the studio burning down, and prolonging filming, it got pushed to May 2005. The only cast members on set were Chad, Elisha, and the actors playing Bo and Vincent. Maybe it doesn't count because nobody got harmed, but it was shocking.
Hey James and Chelsea, yes planes are made to handle electricity. I work at a FedEx hub and our planes have these little... wire stand things on the wings. I can't remember the name of em or even the explanation for em (been a while since my class on it) but I believe they basically ground electricity. Hope my vague info leads you to a more solid answer. Keep up the great work, you two!
I love that you stated you're filming late at night...I always just assumed you guys were next to an awesomely bright window that lit you two! XD Would have never known it was not natural light (other than the fact the light is 100% consistent the entire time XD )
The lore behind Poltergeists is that kids and young adults have a lot of emotion and the ghosts are attracted to that. They feed off the emotions that are all over the place. So that's why kids are the center of a lot of those claims.

my old latin teacher thought the devil tried to stop the excorcist from being made and that's why it's cursed. he was a very superstitious guy.
edit: he also thought watching any horror movie won't summons demons but that it would "open doors"
I remember seeing the news of Elizabeth O'Rourke's death on the news when I was a kid. I knew about her dying before I knew about what happened to Dominick Dunne.
The earliest celebrity death I remember hearing about on the evening news, though, was Clara Peller. Because the opening statement that the newscaster gave wasn't "Clara Peller has passed away," it was "The 'Where's the Beef' lady has died." In contrast, the opening statement for Elizabeth's passing was "Elizabeth O'Rourke, the little girl known for her work on the Poltergeist series, died earlier today."
Heather's death and Judith Barsi's death are probably two of the most heartbreaking of all time as far as child deaths go.
The first celebrity death that really affected me, however, had to be Jim Henson. That one hurt and I remember how crushed I was when I heard the news.
No one:
Chelsea: this is depressing
Also Chelsea: *laughing*
I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite episode, Chelsea need to do more episode that make her go a little crazy. Because it was so funny to watch. Plus they are both really tired, and James might be a little tipsy. They were also just bouncing off one another😂
Who else watches these podcasts at 3 am lmao.
I remember watching what I believe was the E! True Hollywood Story about the Poltergeist curse, and it was so creepy and upsetting. I think there was something that happened with a member of Zelda Rubinstein's family during filming, too.
Yeah I did my dissertation on Poltergeist and I absolutely understand your pain and rage!
Seriously, Poltergeist has a higher body count among the cast then in the entire series.
Depressing fact about Heather O'Rourke: She celebrated her birthday on the set of the first Poltergeist. Because she couldn't drink with the adults, Spielberg promised to buy her a drink on her 21st birthday. Ouch.
Love the podcasts! Keep up the great stuff James and Chelsea!
This was amazing and you guys are AMAZING.
Honestly though I'm a little upset we didn't get a mention of The Crow. That movie has some validity in my opinion with all the accidents that happened.
Shout out to the Freddy Kruger action figure in the background hitting the nay nay
Some say... he still hits that nay nay... to this day...
It’s funny that you mention the way they got the skeletons for Poltergeist, because in the beginning of Return of the Living Dead two characters actually have a full on conversation about how shady the practice of getting skeletons used to be and they actually say there’s a skeleton farm in India! James Karen was also in Poltergeist and ROTLD both, which makes another fun connection.
That one omen one was scary. With the sign and everything
Chelsea is very correct with the lightning strike statistic and no, you don't feel it since you are not grounded. It's like a car. It's also very rare that something bad happens in connection to this.
Aw Chelsea thank you for going through Chinese manifestos it’s the sign of a great TH-camr matpatt does stuff like that all the time it may not feel great but it helps a ton keeping people engaged
I came in excited and ready to see a conversation about movies surrounding curses. My heart wasn't ready.
The Macbeth Curse has to do with saying it in a theatre. Outside of a theatre, I do not think it matters. At least, to some people. For others, they do not say it anywhere.
House of Wax could be considered cursed on these lists. Nobody died or got hurt, but while filming the movie in Australia, the entire studio got burned down, because they (stupidly) used real fire and real wax. The movie was filmed in 2004 and they were aiming for a Halloween release. But due to the studio burning down, and prolonging filming, it got pushed to May 2005. The only cast members on set were Chad, Elisha, and the actors playing Bo and Vincent. Maybe it doesn't count because nobody got harmed, but it was shocking.
You may have hated researching it, but I enjoyed the podcast!
Hey James and Chelsea, yes planes are made to handle electricity. I work at a FedEx hub and our planes have these little... wire stand things on the wings. I can't remember the name of em or even the explanation for em (been a while since my class on it) but I believe they basically ground electricity. Hope my vague info leads you to a more solid answer. Keep up the great work, you two!
I love that you stated you're filming late at night...I always just assumed you guys were next to an awesomely bright window that lit you two! XD Would have never known it was not natural light (other than the fact the light is 100% consistent the entire time XD )
The lore behind Poltergeists is that kids and young adults have a lot of emotion and the ghosts are attracted to that. They feed off the emotions that are all over the place. So that's why kids are the center of a lot of those claims.
51:57
Moments like this is what life is all about.
Chelsea’s in-depth research and her infectious laugh are the two reasons I enjoy the podcast
