- 1:49for Jill Roberts is about it. I'm gonna do the movie marathon.
- 1:57That's kind of, that's just our weekend plans, in general, I
- 2:01literally did that. After one of the problems I went
- 2:03to you do. Ya, is I'm, I went to a prom
- 2:09with a friend and we stayed at his friends house, like, the
- 2:12whole group of us that went to the prom together and there's
- 2:15like, They had a whole movie theater.
- 2:18Oh shit. Yeah.
- 2:19Like with the recliner Rich for everything.
- 2:21Yeah, Irish friend. Just got to see you all and yeah
- 2:28golf cart either way. Okay, that's not important.
- 2:30All right, so that's it. That's where Paul.
- 2:31We got our poll results today. Okay?
- 2:33Okay, so let's talk about Jennifer's Body.
- 2:36Okay. So we had somebody write in and
- 2:39suggest a theme for June and we both really liked it and it's
- 2:42pride month and we decided that we wanted to pick movies that
- 2:45worry. Either going to feature lgbtq
- 2:49characters or cast and crew or themes or themes, or they
- 2:54address certain things related to the lgbtq experience.
- 3:00And we decided to start with Jennifer's Body.
- 3:03Yeah. And we announced last week that
- 3:07all of our patreon profits, or whatever this month would go
- 3:13towards the Trevor Project. And in the spirit of that, I
- 3:16Hold some statistics that I feel like kind of tied into this
- 3:18movie. I think it's pretty notable
- 3:23about the fact that needy and Jennifer their relationship
- 3:27crosses beyond the platonic at times.
- 3:30Yes. And I've got a lot of stuff
- 3:32about that and that like in terms of deeper talking about
- 3:37the movie or just yeah, okay. Yeah I pulled a few different
- 3:41articles. I'm going to put the links to
- 3:42those in the show notes but I also wanted to pull some Mystics
- 3:46actually, from the Trevor Project website, talking about
- 3:49the difference that it can make to have an lgbtq affirming
- 3:55environment, as a teenager because I think that this movie
- 4:01can carry a lot of weight. Especially for people who maybe
- 4:04have grown up in a small town, and didn't necessarily always
- 4:07experience that. Yeah, so lgbtq youth, who
- 4:13attempted suicide in the past year.
- 4:16Percent came from a not lgbtq affirming home and 17% from a
- 4:21not affirming school as opposed to 10% from an lgbtq affirming
- 4:25home in 13% from an lgbtq school, okay?
- 4:30And then suicide attempt to rate by a community acceptance of
- 4:34lgbtq people 21% if they're in a very unaccepting Community is
- 4:39opposed to 8% in a very accepting community.
- 4:42So really having that support there is isn't just and I mean
- 4:49you and I have witnessed this with some some folks close to us
- 4:54and their experiences coming out or deciding whether or not to
- 4:59come out. Yeah, the fear, they feel how it
- 5:03will affect their families, how it'll affect their friends if
- 5:06it's going to damage those relationships, they have.
- 5:09Yeah and I think that that's kind of interesting to look at
- 5:13when we're looking at this movie, that is Anna.
- 5:16Very small town. You know, it's never like
- 5:20explicitly talked about what the lgbtq acceptance is in Devil's
- 5:25Kettle, but we've both been in a small town.
- 5:28I think we know what the feeling is part of the dialogue in this
- 5:31movie. Kind of, makes me think that
- 5:33it's of the not forgiving nature.
- 5:37Yeah, yeah, some of the people here.
- 5:40This have some very slurry type words to say yes.
- 5:44Yes. So I just And I thought that I
- 5:47would share those statistics and why it's important to have pride
- 5:50into like I'm talking about like private events where we have
- 5:55those Community celebration. Yeah.
- 5:56For lgbtq folks to get together and be in an affirming space and
- 6:01learn about their local resources and support local,
- 6:04lgbtq businesses, and get that support back in return.
- 6:06Yeah, so so part of the reason we're doing this this month.
- 6:10So, you know, if you want to make a donation, you can just do
- 6:14that. Yeah, it's totally acceptable.
- 6:17If you wanted to donate and get some content, just as a bonus,
- 6:20you can subscribe to our patreon for just one month.
- 6:22If you wanted to, you don't have to stay, we don't care.
- 6:25Just donate to the Trevor Project through us and then you
- 6:28can listen to some of our stuff. Yep.
- 6:30But if not just go ahead and donate to the many ways because
- 6:32they are a good cause mmm, okay. So Jennifer's Body released
- 6:38September 10th 2009 at the Toronto.
- 6:40International Film Festival with a wide release in the US on
- 6:43September 18, 2009 We watch it on Max.
- 6:48So, just Max just bags. This is this chest.

- 7:03friend named Max, you can stream it on YouTube Primetime, YouTube
- 7:07TV premium Hulu premium or prime premium or you can rent it from
- 7:12Google Play review do or if you have friends named YouTube

- 7:17If you wanted them to Jennifer's Body was written by Diablo Cody
- 7:21and directed by Karen kuzma. Diablo, mhm.
- 7:25Is that like? That's got to be a not real
- 7:27name, right? I have no clue.
- 7:30Do you think the parents to be like Devil?
- 7:32You are the devil. Maybe.
- 7:34Okay, maybe as possible. I don't know, I didn't look into
- 7:38her name. That wasn't part of my
- 7:39background research. I'm just curious continued music
- 7:45by Steve. And Barton and Theodore Shapiro
- 7:48special effects makeup by can be.
- 7:50Yeah, no, green onyx. Howard Berger.
- 7:54Yep. However, bird.
- 7:56You always want to see her. Starring Megan Fox is Jennifer
- 8:03check. Amanda Seyfried is an Eaton ET
- 8:06Les Nikki Johnny Simmons, has chipped of Adam.
- 8:10Brody, as Nikolai wolf, Kyle gallner as calling gray.
- 8:14Josh Emerson is Joan. Because L + JK Simmons as mr.
- 8:18Abuse key this, it's a weird little cast here.
- 8:21Yeah, I think the weirdest part of the cast is j.k.
- 8:25Simmons. Wearing a wig.
- 8:27He has a hook hand. Also, yeah.
- 8:29Also that yeah. Also, there's a bunch of like,
- 8:31little random one scene appearances.
- 8:33Like Chris Pratt plays a Cadet named Ramone.
- 8:36That was weird. That was very jarring to see
- 8:39Chris Pratt just arrived and Amy Sedaris.
- 8:42Plays need, he's mom again only in the Unseen what was she been?
- 8:50She's been in a lot of things. You would probably know her best
- 8:52is the voice of Princess carolyne.
- 8:54In BoJack Horseman? Oh really?
- 8:56Oh wow, okay, Travis budget or bug Ted?
- 9:01I think that this is bug Ted, oh, you're so wrong, is it
- 9:05budget? 16 million, 16 million, 60
- 9:08million. This was around the height of
- 9:09Megan Fox. So I think she's probably
- 9:12expensive at this point. Yeah, Amanda Seyfried was also
- 9:15pretty A popular. Yeah, and she's always, she's
- 9:19stuck around. She has decent roles, but I
- 9:22could never pin her. I think the weirdest role for me
- 9:25was to see her in Les. Miz witness?
- 9:29Yeah. Okay.
- 9:31Alright. Opening box office, 6.8 million
- 9:35worldwide, gross of 31 million. Okay, IMDb score currently is 5
- 9:40point 4 out of 10. I guess that's okay.
- 9:45That's, that's good for the horror movie.
- 9:47Yeah, it's definitely one of those that's obtained.
- 9:49More of a cult classic status, seems that way.
- 9:51Okay. I pulled three movies but I feel
- 9:56like maybe get a little bit more.
- 9:58Shit in horror movie discourse than I personally feel like they
- 10:02deserve theme. Yes.
- 10:03Movie said. I have taken too much shit.
- 10:05Yes. Any to come back.
- 10:07Yeah. Twisted Sister.
- 10:08We're Not Going to take it. Yeah.
- 10:09All right. Brixton.
- 10:11Being the orphan. Wow, you know, I think that one
- 10:15is making a comeback, especially, since the other
- 10:19movie came out this last year, dude, I thought I was give you
- 10:21so annoyed with first kill because of the, yeah, it was
- 10:24amazing. It was like, how are you gonna
- 10:26do a prequel? And Isabelle, Fuhrman is fully
- 10:28twice that age. She was in the first one.
- 10:30Let me tell you how fuzzy camera lens and a lot of makeup and
- 10:35she's already really short. Yeah.
- 10:37So that's, that's done, that's taken care of.
- 10:40Okay. Okay.
- 10:41The orphan Least July, 24th, 2009.
- 10:45They budget of 20 million in a worldwide gross of 77 million.
- 10:50That's one that we need to watch again because we only watched it
- 10:53that one time, it has a 7.0 out of 10 on IMDb.
- 10:57Damn, which, I feel like it's pretty good.
- 10:59However, when I hear people talk about it, I don't always feel
- 11:01like a lot of love for it. It is kind of weird.
- 11:05I think that it's getting more love now, though.
- 11:08I think my prequel helped a lot, it did like it.
- 11:11Right at the height. If you've never watched it or if
- 11:14you're not aware of everything with that I guess probably not a
- 11:17good time to spoil with the yeah just go watch it.
- 11:19Yeah. Okay.
- 11:22You'll agree with this one. Okay the collection.
- 11:25Yes. Are the collector?
- 11:27I mean still Yes. Collector people.
- 11:29Shit on that one too. Yeah both of them but yeah the
- 11:33collector. First one.
- 11:34Yeah. July 31st 2009.
- 11:38A bug head of six million, a worldwide, gross of 10 million.
- 11:44Six point three out of 10. It only made 10 million dollars.
- 11:49That's one that will have to talk about on here somewhere.
- 11:51Yeah. Okay.
- 11:53Third movie. I know for sure you're going to
- 11:54agree with me on this one. Okay, the Final Destination
- 11:58which is final destination for otherwise not as the 3D one.
- 12:02Yeah. Yeah.
- 12:03That one does need more love and if Here are full thoughts on it.
- 12:07You can go check out the episode that we guessed it on with
- 12:09flyover state of fear. Yeah, it was our friend, Joe, we
- 12:13fully spent an hour and a half defending this movie with every
- 12:16bit of ourselves. We did it deserves it, it
- 12:20released August 28, 2009 with a budget of 40 million worldwide
- 12:26gross of 186 million because the Final Destination movies bring
- 12:31in money, whether or not, they're panned, it's true
- 12:33because we were talking about five not that long ago.
- 12:36Oh and that movie made a shit ton of money also 5.1 out of 10
- 12:41on IMDb and no I'm happy that I was expecting that one to be at
- 12:48least like a four because people trash on a way too much.
- 12:52Okay. We only have one tag line Abu.
- 12:55I know she's evil and not just High School evil.
- 13:01Oh, come on. It's aligned directly from the
- 13:03mayor. Is a lot of better lines if
- 13:07you're going to do that but that's not bad.
- 13:09That's okay, that's fun, facts. Okay, let's do this.
- 13:14So the rice of this movie where bought preemptively by Fox
- 13:17Atomic and October 2007 as a follow-up to Diablo Cody and I
- 13:23didn't write down his first name.
- 13:24Write-ins collaboration on Juno. Oh yeah.
- 13:27And so is this the follow-up to Juneau it is their
- 13:31collaborative, follow-up. It's not like not a sequel and
- 13:34it's all right. Like this was their movie that
- 13:38they did, after June. Yeah.
- 13:40Oh, wow. What if this is in the Juneau
- 13:42Universe, it can't be because JK Simmons is also in Juneau
- 13:46playing a completely different character twin brother.
- 13:49Doppelganger, he's got a hook hand here.
- 13:51Okay, maybe he's had a big transition into a wig.
- 13:55Yeah, he talks about his tragic, pass in the movie.
- 13:58He's like, we've all been through things.
- 14:01I can talk about that myself, but I won't, and then something
- 14:04along those lines and then you see him with his hook.
- 14:06Like wow, he really has been through some shit.
- 14:07That's some shit. Cody wanted to play on kind of
- 14:13The Duality of horror where a lot of times.
- 14:15We've got a final girl, it's always a woman standing yet.
- 14:21The horror genre itself can be very exploitative, especially to
- 14:25women, and women's issues and particularly things like rape.
- 14:30Hmm. Actually, I took a few different
- 14:32screenshots of quotes from her about the movie, but I just
- 14:37couldn't really Perry fries any better than how she said
- 14:39herself. Okay, there's this scene where
- 14:42Jennifer sitting alone smearing makeup on her face.
- 14:45I always thought that was such a sad image, she's so vulnerable.
- 14:48I don't know any woman who hasn't had a moment sitting in
- 14:50front of the mirror thinking, help me, I want to be somebody
- 14:53else. What makes it extra affecting is
- 14:55that Megan Fox's stunning and I had that same moment when we're
- 14:58watching it last night. You just heard like smearing
- 15:00that makeup on her face looking so unhappy and it's just like
- 15:02gosh, Megan Fox so pretty and but she still like It's part of
- 15:07like a whole Human Experience. Yeah.
- 15:11Men we're just gonna go ahead and talk about it.
- 15:14The kissing scene, which kiddo the between the two of them.
- 15:20Yeah. Okay speaking of the scenes
- 15:22media High, she said that if to protagonist of the film were a
- 15:25guy and a girl and in a particularly tense moment they
- 15:28shared a kiss. No one would say it was
- 15:29gratuitous but the fact that they're women means that some
- 15:32kind of a stunt, the same is intended to be something
- 15:34profound and meaningful to her and whose Emma.
- 15:36She further stated obviously we knew people were going to
- 15:39totally sensationalize it. They're beautiful girls.
- 15:41The same as hot. I'm not afraid to say that.
- 15:44There is a sexual energy between the girls, which is kind of
- 15:46authentic, because I know when I was a teenage girl, the
- 15:48friendships that I had with other girls were almost a
- 15:50romantic. They were so intense.
- 15:52I wanted to sleep at my friend's house.
- 15:53Every night I wanted to wear her clothes, we would talk on the
- 15:56phone until her ears 8. I wanted to capture that
- 15:58heightened feeling you get as an adolescence that you don't
- 16:01really feel as you grow up, you like your friends when you're a
- 16:04grown-up but you don't need to sleep in the same.
- 16:06Bed with them and talk at them. Talk with them, on the phone
- 16:08until 5 a.m. every night. I understand that.
- 16:12However, I think maybe the whole point of that, I think it would
- 16:16have been equally a spectacle if it were two dudes kissing.
- 16:20But like, that's kind of the whole thing about it is.
- 16:23Why does it have to be a spectacle?
- 16:25Yeah, no. I see what you're saying.
- 16:27I just think. Like, I don't think it was
- 16:29because it's two girls necessary, I think like, just
- 16:31like to just because we're so fucking heteronormative society
- 16:35and it's bullshit. And I hate it when people are
- 16:37like, oh, it's just an attempt to be whatever and it's just
- 16:40like, Gay people do exist, bisexual people do exist.
- 16:43Queer people do exist? Yeah and I actually I pulled a
- 16:48couple of articles about written by queer folk talking about
- 16:52their experience watching this film.
- 16:54Okay. This one is called a queer girls
- 16:57guide to Jennifer's Body. It's by Ava Burzynski and I was
- 17:01in the Michigan Daily last year horror side my own experience
- 17:05with queerness feel more similar to the intense friendship
- 17:07between needy and Jennifer than other pieces of media
- 17:09representing relatively real. Dick.
- 17:11Teenage love there's a sense of Terror and recognizing my own
- 17:13queerness when I discovered the concept of queerness a new
- 17:17nearly immediately, it fit there was no transitional period
- 17:20between my discovery of queerness and my recognition of
- 17:22being queer myself. So there was no time to warm up
- 17:25to this new identity. My own queerness can feel like
- 17:27it's a hard thing to hold. It's slippery.
- 17:29It's something that I can't seem to keep grass between my hands
- 17:33and I think we really don't get that time to sit with needy a,
- 17:37she's Thinking about these feelings that she clearly has
- 17:40for Jennifer that like us as an audience.
- 17:43It's clear. It's there.
- 17:44And I think, by the time she shares that kiss, she shares
- 17:47that moment. Everything just happened so
- 17:49fast. I think it's funny that she's
- 17:52having a moment, but then she is interrupted with very logical
- 17:56freaked out like what the fuck your wife, how are you still
- 17:58alive right now? Yeah, but you know, like like oh
- 18:01this is nice and then all of a sudden way, this person should
- 18:03be dead. Fuck is happening, that's what
- 18:06that's reasonable. Then I wanted to look at another
- 18:09side of it too. Little too late, the queer cult
- 18:12status of Jennifer's Body is Bittersweet this by Sarah from
- 18:17Seca. And it was in it was on a
- 18:20website called them in 2018, the friends, storied passionate
- 18:24relationship, deemed totally Les, big a by a classmate early
- 18:28on in the film, is the emotional context from which Jennifer's
- 18:30bodies, biggest feminist, statements, most of which are
- 18:33skillfully cloaked in fake blood and late, Aunt band, merger
- 18:36originated, women should always Aim to support one.
- 18:39Another patriarchy makes friendship between women.
- 18:41Terribly difficult and sex with men, a bore survivors are am
- 18:45Nipa tonight. The Reckless abandon of teen
- 18:47girls doesn't justify a salt. No one asked to be made into a
- 18:50monster but no one should be surprised when the monster of
- 18:52their creation invites herself over for dinner, statements that
- 18:57during the baffling age, that birds Twilight's chased vampire.
- 19:00Craze, were easier to wave away as bad movie making.
- 19:05So all of these people that just, it's it.
- 19:08Is a lot of messaging to digest. And some people would just
- 19:10rather not take it in. And this movie, got its cult
- 19:14status several years. Too late as a, this is what the
- 19:19article is summarizing saying that in the wake of the me to
- 19:23movement this movie became important to people.
- 19:26Suddenly when it's always had a lot of things to say and should
- 19:31have always been important to people.
- 19:32And it's just now that there is like political messaging that
- 19:36Straight women can also understand.
- 19:39Yeah, yeah. It's a shame that it took so
- 19:41long for it to become relevant, but it was always relevant.
- 19:44It just puts kind of not discussed.
- 19:47Yeah, they go on to say in the present era are women filmmakers
- 19:52doomed to only receive a claim and lip service for their
- 19:54conveyance has of pain in the future.
- 19:57Will we be able to Value those more severe depictions of
- 20:00gender-based violence? Without the context of an
- 20:02exhaustive international movement, or will those movies,
- 20:05as His body did almost a decade ago.
- 20:07Simply turn a good number of folks off.
- 20:10That's part of the reason I put off wanting to watch this movie
- 20:14for so long. Is that the advertising for it?
- 20:18Really kind of tried to sensationalized how hot Megan
- 20:22Fox is, and who she makes a lesbian joke towards her best
- 20:26friend or yeah, are bisexual joke or whatever.
- 20:29And it is all played off is very shallow and I had no interest in
- 20:33seeing it. And then, I listened to this
- 20:38unzip problems episode. Oh yeah.
- 20:40And they've had Karyn kusama as a guest before.
- 20:43And I want to say it was on that episode, but it may have been on
- 20:45a separate episode. Who is she the director?
- 20:49That was Diablo, she wrote it, okay.
- 20:52And I was like, okay, well now I'm really intrigued and
- 20:55watching this movie and we ended up watching it last October, I
- 20:59think. Yeah, we watch the last year,
- 21:01and it was so much better than I would have ever expected.
- 21:05Yeah, it's a good move. And I can't believe that it was
- 21:09under my radar for so long. I really bought into the social
- 21:15hype about it and I shouldn't have.
- 21:17But it really also does kind of go to show what the status quo
- 21:22can do to people, which is kind of the whole point of our
- 21:24fucking pride month theme with our movie.
- 21:27Yeah. But yeah I just thought those
- 21:30were some really interesting points and I'm going to post
- 21:32both links to both the full articles in our show notes that
- 21:35way. We folks can read them if they
- 21:38want to. Okay, now, onto some actually
- 21:41fun, fun facts, okay, when the movie was like, announcer,
- 21:47whatever that January, K&B went really hard into pitch mode and
- 21:51they spent almost two weeks like, collectively pitching in
- 21:54pulling up references because they the producers, and Cody and
- 22:00kuzma knew that they wanted to have more practical effects.
- 22:06They didn't want the effects to outweigh the story of what was
- 22:10going on. So there had to be like a really
- 22:12good balance that way the story. Like they didn't want to be such
- 22:16a spectacle that it was taking away from everything else
- 22:19happening. Exactly.
- 22:20Okay, they actually had a what do they call?
- 22:25It was a five station system for Jennifer's transformation and
- 22:31she goes through her whole cycle.
- 22:32Okay, stage one is beautiful Jennifer and then Two and three
- 22:36were strictly makeup, where her eyes become more recessed.
- 22:39And she would start to look playing like the rest of us
- 22:42stage 4 was some custom dentures that can be made for her and
- 22:46then visual effects and Stage for you is mainly facial,
- 22:48warping and reassessing her eyes, some more and having
- 22:51pinning effect to her irises and a variety of other musculature
- 22:54deforms, just bringing her cheekbones down more.
- 22:57And Stage 5 was a full-on as crazy.
- 22:59It gets, which you don't really see until nearly the end.
- 23:03And so they actually had this big Appliance for her jaw.
- 23:06But putting it on working with it, took hours and hours and
- 23:11hours. And it was so time-consuming and
- 23:13it wasn't realistic with their filming schedule.
- 23:15That they actually brought in a photo double just for the job
- 23:19Appliance. So they would get Megan Fox
- 23:20doing like all of her like staging and everything and they
- 23:24would have her go through the scene and then they would have
- 23:26the photo double in there with the job Appliance and they would
- 23:28kind of like merge the two together.
- 23:31Damn it. So yeah, they did as much
- 23:33practical as they could but there were moments like that
- 23:35where they had To. That's still cool, though.
- 23:38Yeah, yeah. Thatthat sounds like practical.
- 23:41So yeah. So I thought all of that was
- 23:45pretty cool. Yeah.
- 23:46Okay, Travis, I've got a question though.
- 23:50Okay. Do we know if they wrote that
- 23:54song for this movie, that the band was shoulder plays
- 23:57throughout? Where is this?
- 23:59An already existing song? I am pretty sure it was written,
- 24:02just for the movie you're going to have some information about
- 24:04them. Well, I didn't.
- 24:06Write down the full list of what was an existing song versus what
- 24:10was written for the movie. But I know it was a mixture of
- 24:12both and honestly, most of that soundtrack.
- 24:14I owned a real songs. Yeah.
- 24:19Oh yeah. I mean, I guess there were a
- 24:21couple of songs that played that I recognize to, but through the
- 24:25trees was written and performed by an artist named Ryan Levine.
- 24:28Oh, okay. Yeah, it was probably written
- 24:31for the movie. I'm assuming it was all right,
- 24:34now, can we go on to the good bed?
- 24:36Ugly and absurd. Yeah, let's do it.
- 24:38Okay. There's a lot to like about this
- 24:40movie. I do like that it has a lot to
- 24:43say, but I think that it's nice that on top of it having a heavy
- 24:49message. It also tells it in a fun and
- 24:52entertaining way, because I think a lot of times, it could
- 24:56either go one way. It could be like the messages
- 24:58week, but everything else is amazing.
- 25:00Kind of what you were saying with the effects.
- 25:02It could have stole the show or the messaging could have been so
- 25:06heavy. Ended that you don't really care
- 25:08about what all you're watching because it kind of it takes you
- 25:11out of it. Yeah.
- 25:13And I think the way that they did it in this movie, it's
- 25:16meshed perfectly because whenever I watched it as a good
- 25:21I liked it because it was just an entertaining horror movie.
- 25:25I don't necessarily even like and she's not like a vampire but
- 25:28she behaves exactly this, she's a succubus.
- 25:31Okay, so and I don't normally like those types of movies.
- 25:36These but something about this movie is just entertaining.
- 25:40I don't know, it's just a fun movie to watch and yeah, I mean
- 25:44I like all that it has to say I think that this may be really
- 25:47caught me off guard when we first watched it because I did
- 25:50not know where it was going. I did not know where it was
- 25:52gonna end up and we start off immediately with needy in a
- 25:56correctional facility. Yeah, I forgot about that.
- 25:59Yeah. And the way it's told just
- 26:03really threw me off guard. There is something so
- 26:06Heartbreaking about this movie in a way that feels.
- 26:10Very high school but also and I don't mean that I don't mean
- 26:14that in a diminutive way like there's a certain kind of high
- 26:18school heartbreak that isn't juvenile.
- 26:21It's just one of those early experiences you have in your
- 26:24life that shapes you as you go on.
- 26:26Yeah. And it's just it's so sad to
- 26:28watch that and kind of feel all of those things.
- 26:31Again for me like this as an adult.
- 26:35This movie is really good at putting you, like, you get in
- 26:38that headspace of a high schooler Which is weird but this
- 26:42is probably one of the movies that personally has had.
- 26:47That effect on me more successfully than any other
- 26:49movie that tries to get you in that headspace.
- 26:51Absolutely and I think that they know the small town a spell, my
- 26:56God. The every every little bit of
- 26:58it. Yeah.
- 26:58It's just the way that people are the setting, the one bar
- 27:03Town type thing, the way that the city ban will shoulder comes
- 27:07in. And they just served so
- 27:09dismissive of everybody because I think There's so much better.
- 27:12All right. And here's the other thing, to
- 27:14the sense of humor and listening to be, is exactly on-brand for
- 27:18me because it's very dark, it's very dark, but how small town is
- 27:25it to have a 911 drink special. Yeah, that was, that was an
- 27:30interesting. I was like, I was like that
- 27:32feels so wrong but also I could see that happening.
- 27:37Like I remember going to the hospital after 9:00. 11.
- 27:41Because I went to the hospital on base and they didn't, the
- 27:46cafeteria, didn't calm, french fries, I caught him.
- 27:48Freedom fries, it's like we're not even in war with France.
- 27:51They change them to Freedom fries.
- 27:54So I could totally see like a small town bar, like thing, like
- 27:58a river in have a 9/11 Memorial drink special and it's going to
- 28:01be red, white, and blue. And we're going to put them into
- 28:02extra towel, shot glasses. And we're gonna call him
- 28:04tomorrow and into our to. That's in it.
- 28:07So dark. Yeah.
- 28:11But also it's possible. Yeah, it is.
- 28:14It is it. Yeah.
- 28:16So the humor the sense of the small town, I didn't even think
- 28:19about that last night, but she did get to very tall shot glass.
- 28:24She says Tower one isn't all the way full.
- 28:27Is it out loud? Yeah it gets dark at times but
- 28:31you know, it's fine, it's good. It's good humor.
- 28:35Yeah, or like when JK Simmons says, we can't let this fire
- 28:39wind and Jennifer says it. I already did.
- 28:42Yeah, like it's so it's so messed up, but I've always been
- 28:45one of those people that the dark humor is how I cope with
- 28:48things. And I think there's so much
- 28:50darkness in this movie, and I think not only does the humor
- 28:54help you kind of break up that tension.
- 28:57But it also kind of helps you cope with how dark this movie is
- 29:00because you just feel like you were drowning.
- 29:01If it didn't have a sense of humor, infused within it.
- 29:05Yeah. Okay.
- 29:07Bad. The Bad?
- 29:09Hmm. I don't know.
- 29:12I can't think of anything right now.
- 29:13I honestly can't and maybe the more we talk about it I can like
- 29:18started thinking about some of the bad things but off the top
- 29:21of my head I can't think of anything bad about it right now.
- 29:26For me the bad I guess I do wish that we had some more of those
- 29:31like character moments like with those one-off characters that
- 29:35are also kind of important to the movie like Ramon is that is
- 29:39named Chris Pratt. Doctor.
- 29:42I can't remember what it is a mountain or something like that.
- 29:45He is kind of important because when needy says, she's going to
- 29:48go to the cops and Jennifer's like, okay, well I'm fucking one
- 29:52of the cadets. So what are you gonna do?
- 29:54Which in a bigger city would be like cool.
- 29:57He's a Cadet, but in a small town.
- 29:59Yeah. Like you said are like the moms.
- 30:04The moms are mentioned a lot and like I think especially with
- 30:07metis it's so sad because she's worked her mom.
- 30:10Do you think she's in there for she's talking about how she had
- 30:15this nightmare that needy was crucified on a tree?
- 30:18Yeah, that's right. I forgot about that.
- 30:20And then she says, someday, you're going to be crying out
- 30:22for my help and I'm not going to be there.
- 30:24And then later when she comes home after having hit Jennifer
- 30:27with her car and she's crying out, mommy mommy and her mom's
- 30:32not there. I think her mom, the short
- 30:35amount of scenes that we have with her.
- 30:37She's I don't like her. She's Tries to be too.
- 30:42Relatable to, I'm a cool mom. Yeah.
- 30:45Dylan, it just comes across as just the opposite.
- 30:48It's definitely a dynamic where it kind of makes more sense.
- 30:52Why Jennifer needy have glommed onto each other?
- 30:55As much as they have. Yeah, definitely.
- 30:58Okay ugly. I mean, boy, there's a lot.
- 31:02There's a lot of fuckin it's a really is let's bandmates.
- 31:07Yeah, let's go through these together, shall we?
- 31:10Yes, I have a feeling. Have the same uglies.
- 31:12Yeah, so we've got the band The date-rape be banned even though
- 31:15they weren't actually date. Rape, maybe they were date
- 31:18murdery, but they took advantage of a minor who is in shock after
- 31:23a building burned down around her and they're like hey can get
- 31:26in our van. Yeah, not only that they well
- 31:30for one. It's like a whole devil ritual
- 31:34that they do. But, you know, this is so lazy
- 31:36to. Yeah, you know that kind of
- 31:38pisses me off if you're going to perform in a cult.
- 31:40Ritual. At least we put a little effort
- 31:42into it. I think it's funny though.
- 31:43That they you think that it's going to be this ancient text?
- 31:47That's passed down from Generations but he's like yeah.
- 31:49Just printed off the internet especially cuz they had books on
- 31:52the back of the van. Yeah, they had done all the
- 31:54research they really didn't it's kind of like Child's Play where
- 31:59I think in the Chucky show how Charles Lee Ray get started is
- 32:05he just buys a voodoo for dummies?
- 32:07No that's that's Tiffany. And she finds the Chucky doll
- 32:12and she's trying to perform the ritual.
- 32:16She's got Voodoo for dummies know.
- 32:18I think that if there's a flashback of him whenever it's
- 32:21him and Tiff when they first start together, he gets that
- 32:24book and any warrants. How to do all of that?
- 32:27I think it's something along those lines, either way.
- 32:30I think it's just funny that they just make it something, as
- 32:32simple as that. Yeah, I think it's ugly that
- 32:36they took advantage of a tragedy and made it about ourselves and
- 32:40pray. Fitted from it.
- 32:41I think the worst part about that is, it's so realistic.
- 32:43Yeah, it really is, I could see a band doing something like
- 32:48this. I think it's ugly the toxic
- 32:52friendship. Dynamic between needy and
- 32:54Jennifer. Yeah.
- 32:56Yeah. She's Jennifer's a bad friend.
- 32:58She really is, and way that people react to their Quest
- 33:02relationship and shame them for it.
- 33:04Yeah, which is weird, I think, Chip and need.
- 33:10He's relationship is kind of ugly.
- 33:13It's very high school in a way that it's not going to last.
- 33:16Like maybe they would say together for a couple of months
- 33:18when they first go to college, but then they're going to break
- 33:19up. They're not well suited for each
- 33:21other. Yeah.
- 33:23II feel bad for chip in that situation because you seem like
- 33:26a good dude. It's just the needy is wrapped
- 33:30around Jin's finger. Yeah.
- 33:31Chip is very insecure. And I'm not saying it's without
- 33:34reason because definitely he sees the dynamic.
- 33:39Being the two of them, but also just like sometimes like oh, are
- 33:43you really going out dressed like that?
- 33:45Oh yeah. Like things like that.
- 33:47It was stuff. That was high school.
- 33:49Yeah. Again, it's very high school and
- 33:52I just think they're not well suited to each other probably
- 33:55not. No.
- 33:56So but they loved each other. They exchanged love you as when
- 33:59he was dying. Yeah.
- 34:02Okay. Yeah.
- 34:03So that's some of the ugly. There's more to be had, what
- 34:06should be discussed but Over on absurd.
- 34:12She's not fine. She's just hovering.
- 34:15Yeah, that was funny. She's just flying all the people
- 34:21that gave me Evil Dead. Rise Vibes.
- 34:23Yeah. Also, just how insane that fire
- 34:31is. I forgot how intense that scene
- 34:35is. I was going to say that was
- 34:36probably going to border on my ugly because that, that reminded
- 34:42me of the one video that's on line.
- 34:46Yes. Of the bit.
- 34:47I was thinking of that too. I wonder if it's inspired by
- 34:51that. I assume it has to be at least
- 34:52partially. Yeah, because you don't expect
- 34:54to see everything go down in there but you see Ugly bits of
- 35:00all of that. One of the bar patrons, when
- 35:02fact is Diablo Cody, who has a fear of burning to death.
- 35:06So she was like, cool. Let's put me in a suit and
- 35:09pretend that I'm going to burn to death.
- 35:10So I can conquer the Earth. Did they?
- 35:13They wouldn't let her actually burn.
- 35:14They would I was going to say that she getting the fire suit.
- 35:17Okay, she tried to argue and say that she should because Burt
- 35:21Reynolds did it and they pointed out that Burt Reynolds almost
- 35:23died when I don't know the full story behind.
- 35:25Why it because of her rental is there have been so many other
- 35:27people that have done it. But is there something about
- 35:30Burt Reynolds where fire is especially if he's not a trained
- 35:33professional and he did his own fire stunt.
- 35:35So she was trying to argue that she should do her own fire
- 35:37stunt. And I said no he's he's pretty
- 35:41stupid and doing you would be too if he's pretty much, I think
- 35:46my absurd is the moment where that football player is
- 35:50grieving, his friend's death, and he's just in the football
- 35:53field screaming and there's a super dramatic zoom on his face.
- 35:57Where the heavy metal music is playing.
- 35:59And then the JK Simmons, character hitters him screaming
- 36:03out in the woods. And he's like, that's right, let
- 36:06it all out. Like, that whole scene is just
- 36:09so absurd. Yeah.
- 36:12Okay, so scale of 1 to 10, where is this for you?
- 36:19I'd say probably in a, that's actually what I was going to
- 36:21give it to you. Okay, cool.
- 36:23Yeah, there's a lot to love about this movie.
- 36:26Um I'm sorry that I can't think of much bad about.
- 36:29I'm sure I'll think of the bads as we talk about, I'm sure we'll
- 36:32get there. It's not good enough to give me,
- 36:35give me a 10 but it definitely connected with me and you know,
- 36:39it hits, it does a good job of hitting.
- 36:43Okay, you ready to talk about it?
- 36:44I'm ready. Okay, so we start off with some
- 36:48POV shots, outside of the house. It's nice spying on Jennifer.
- 36:52We are believe it or not and media race.
- 36:56Jin loves her some Fall Out Boy because above her bed, she has.
- 37:01I'd say about 20 posters I think only one of them is Fall Out,
- 37:05Boy. I think they're all different
- 37:06bands. I thought it was all Fall Out,
- 37:07Boy. I thought she had like a shrine
- 37:09to Fall Out Boy. No.
- 37:10Okay, that's a certainly middle poster.
- 37:12Well, The most important than if there is no, the most prevalent
- 37:17that Sunita is in a correctional facility, she has a bunch of
- 37:21fans that write her letters and send her gifts, and she's not
- 37:25allowed to wear real shoes because her file has her labeled
- 37:27as a kicker boy, she kicks the shit out of people.
- 37:30Like she I think that's the only form of violence that she can
- 37:33do. She can just kick.
- 37:35She can't punch. She can't shove.
- 37:37She just kicks the shit out of you and it's impressive that she
- 37:40manages to knock that orderlies to thout During she's wearing
- 37:44slippers and the bones in your feet are really delicate, so
- 37:48manages to fuck her up. Yeah, yeah, she like straight up
- 37:52Kicks, one of the employees there and then they throw her
- 37:56into solitary confinement. So we learned that she is from
- 38:01Devil's Kettle. There's like a Whirlpool
- 38:04underneath this waterfall and they don't know where it goes to
- 38:08and they said scientists just throw a bunch of shit in there
- 38:11and they've never found where he comes out.
- 38:13It's funny that that's the case and then at the end you see
- 38:17that? It's like not even that far.
- 38:19Yeah. He where everything came out?
- 38:21Yeah. Did you guys not find the Bowie
- 38:23knife and all of the balls that their own?
- 38:25Yeah. And it's not like they threw
- 38:26that away. That long ago.
- 38:27It's been a month. Come on.
- 38:30So all of this started three months ago, Jennifer's spin form
- 38:35is terrible. She's on the guards team.
- 38:37It's terrible. She's not good for him.
- 38:40She shouldn't be the captain. It's infuriating.
- 38:43It's not the worst I've ever seen but it's not like Captain
- 38:46worthy. So need he's like voiceovers
- 38:51talking about how it's weird that you know, the babe in the
- 38:54nerd would be best friends. But sandbox love is eternal.
- 38:57So even from right there like yeah, and this is when her
- 39:02friend calls her out for being was it like was both friends or
- 39:06something like that. Les Begay is the cane, they
- 39:09actually is not just another. One of the Uglies is a lot of
- 39:11the language that's used in this.
- 39:13Yeah, especially the r word is used a lot, Jennifer tells needy
- 39:17that they're going to go see Low Shoulder that night and she
- 39:20needs to wear something cute. And he explains that wear.
- 39:23Something cute is a very specific coded language and
- 39:27Jennifer speak which means that you can't look like a zero, but
- 39:30you can't be cuter than her. Cleavage, is Jennifer's thing.
- 39:34So need he's allowed to show her stomach, which I just think is
- 39:39so funny because that is that is how girl rules tend to go, is
- 39:42it? Yeah.
- 39:43Okay, there's all these little unspoken things chip is a little
- 39:48bit upset because he's not getting the spend the time that
- 39:52he wants to with needy. Which, you know, I guess that
- 39:56there's I can understand that. Like you want to be able to
- 39:59spend time with your girlfriend and if she's constantly being
- 40:02pulled away because I think before this, they had plans to
- 40:05spend the night. Yeah.
- 40:06Yeah. Together.
- 40:07And then she just cuts it off because Jennifer comes in
- 40:09without an invitation, he calls her out.
- 40:13Saying that she just does whatever Jennifer wants to do
- 40:16and needy. Is in complete denial.
- 40:18She thinks that she's in control.
- 40:19It's like we have everything in common ships.
- 40:22Like you have nothing in common. Yeah there's such opposite
- 40:26people it's really just one of those.
- 40:28They've been friends for so long.
- 40:30Yeah because I when you watch them in this movie, they they
- 40:35just really aren't ever really on the same page.
- 40:40I liked them talking about Melody links who's like me.
- 40:43Elaine isn't even a club. It's a bingo hall with Taps.
- 40:46Those are the bars before Harlan.
- 40:50Had an actual bar, and the bar was the pizza place, right?
- 40:55No before that then even okay? Okay?
- 40:58Was there was a steak house that finally had beer but you had to
- 41:02go into the back room which was invited and then after that, it
- 41:07was the Mexican restaurant. Eventually we got there but that
- 41:11was like, probably ten. Years after this movie came out
- 41:14of here. Yeah, it's Harlan.
- 41:17Harlan is just now officially a wet county, right?
- 41:20Like in the past couple of years.
- 41:23Five years ago, I think it was like moist five years ago where
- 41:26it was like, is where you would have to go to the restaurant.
- 41:29Yeah, you couldn't have a bar, you can go to a restaurant and
- 41:32get beer. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of, I
- 41:34guarantee you that this is a dry county, whatever they are or
- 41:37moist County Elise. Okay, and needy says he's not
- 41:45wrong. It is just basically a bingo
- 41:47hall with Taps and a sticker toilet and I got offended at
- 41:50that because sticker toilets are an important part of clubs and
- 41:54dive bars. Yeah they're awesome.
- 41:56Like that's usually the best bar if you find one of those around
- 42:00here. Yeah, for I guess it depends on
- 42:02your personality. I didn't write much about Chris
- 42:06Pratt. I just wrote.
- 42:07He's a baby cup. I might know.
- 42:09No just says, oh yeah, Chris presence movie and that's it
- 42:13because he's just shows up for a second and then he disappears
- 42:16because she he's trying to hit on Jennifer.
- 42:20He is over age. He's an adult and they've fully
- 42:24had butt sex. Yes, they have talked about the
- 42:28butt sex. Yeah, because Jennifer says that
- 42:31she's not even a backdoor, a virgin, and that hurts.
- 42:33By the way, I had to sit on a bag of peas in this Flags, the
- 42:36next day. Yeah.
- 42:39So they go to talk to the band while they're sitting up and
- 42:42Nikolai is immediately. Giving off red flags.
- 42:45Yeah. Jen's like, I'm gonna go buy you
- 42:48a drink and he's like, how are you gonna do?
- 42:50Then she goes on her play. Hello Teddy with the bartender.
- 42:52I love that phrase. Oh, it's so needy, goes to play
- 42:56some pinball. She waits for Jennifer to come
- 42:59back and see over here is the to debating whether or not she's a
- 43:02virgin and I love that both needy and Jennifer have like,
- 43:06are like, okay cool. They're going to try and rape
- 43:09her. So, We should really emphasize
- 43:10the whole virgin point. So I maybe they won't want to.
- 43:14And that's like Italy tops complete opposite effect because
- 43:18later they find out they needed a virgin for the ritual.
- 43:21So she had been like, oh no, I've had so much sex.
- 43:24It would have been a whole different story.
- 43:26I do appreciate needy. Straight-up confronting the band
- 43:29though talking about her. Like that's my friend.
- 43:32You're talking about her being a virgin.
- 43:33You guys are being super fucking creepy.
- 43:35Yeah, yeah. She's you know, for as much of a
- 43:39nerd. She is like, she's not fearful
- 43:42in the way you would think she would because she's willing to
- 43:44confront them when the fire started.
- 43:47She's the one that pulls Jennifer out and she's like
- 43:51trying to take care of Jennifer throughout all of this.
- 43:53I don't even really think she's supposed to be a nerdy
- 43:55character. I think just compared to
- 43:58Jennifer she's just looks like a nerd.
- 44:00She won't. That's just the way that she
- 44:03looks. That's not to say in a bad
- 44:06thing. She you know, it's just that's
- 44:08just how she is. But But she's never really wants
- 44:11like, ever acting as a nerdy person.
- 44:12She's pretty much having a normal high school experience
- 44:17from what all I could see. Yeah, well, being a nerd is a
- 44:20part of some people's normal high school experience.
- 44:22Travis he has a fucking boyfriend and she's best friends
- 44:25with the most popular girl in school.
- 44:26That's not normal. I was best friends with the prom
- 44:31queen and I had a boyfriend and guess what?
- 44:33I was a nerd. Yeah.
- 44:35Well you were a corner than everybody then the rest of us.
- 44:41Okay. So the fire starts and I like
- 44:44that. They included like stampeding is
- 44:46part of the issues with that because that is a very real
- 44:49thing that happens with fires and things like that is that
- 44:53stampedes can also like kill and hurt people.
- 44:56Yeah, if anything, I've been more aware of the dangers of
- 45:01crowds over the last few years because just in general Crowds
- 45:07Are terrifying, especially when They're in a panic.
- 45:11So yeah, the band is playing the only song that they know through
- 45:15the trees that treaties soccer Anthem by the way.
- 45:20Yeah. And it's so funny how it becomes
- 45:22like the town's motto, it's like other people that slow dance to
- 45:25the every move you make, well, how did you pay attention to the
- 45:30lyrics? A lot of this seems to be
- 45:32foreshadowing that they had this whole thing staged here.
- 45:35Because, yeah, it all hits to this event because I think that
- 45:39there, The plan was for them, they start the fire here and
- 45:43that they were going to use this and just have a song.
- 45:45Oh shit, we happen to be playing this song about it and it
- 45:47relates so many levels of yeah, we're going to be the big heroes
- 45:51of the whole event. So some people are getting out
- 45:56needing Jennifer, two of those people that get out and Jennifer
- 45:59is clearly like in shock. Yeah.
- 46:01Also, she's just out of it. Just, it's not important now,
- 46:06but it kind of will be later foreign exchange student on That
- 46:09is just chilling in there. He doesn't say much.
- 46:11And then all of a sudden a giant beam falls on said yeah sorry
- 46:16not just single him out but it's somewhat important later.
- 46:20So they are days and the band Nikolai.
- 46:26He's drinking is a are you guys? We should get somewhere safe.
- 46:29Like the back of my van. Yeah.
- 46:32And just just trying to do the right thing here, you know, and
- 46:35the right thing I think is for us to just get away and go into
- 46:37the back of my van and then Papa, papa, papa, papa and need.
- 46:45He's like, no. He's like, come on, it's fine.
- 46:48And she's like, no. And Jennifer is like, God, need
- 46:51you to shut up. But she also still looks like
- 46:54she's not very comfortable with the situation, but she's just,
- 46:57she was in shock before and she couldn't speak.
- 47:00And then she was being taken advantage of in this situation.
- 47:04Yeah, absolutely. So she gets in the van with them
- 47:06needy stays behind and drives off.
- 47:10And she caused chip. Who chip is just as soon as he
- 47:15was like, are you okay? Yeah, so he's a good dude.
- 47:19Yeah, he cares about her, but he's also like doesn't care
- 47:23about Jennifer. Yeah, he's like, oh, you're
- 47:26okay. That's okay.
- 47:27So, Jen got in the van with a bunch of creepos.
- 47:30Okay. Whatever fucker just come over
- 47:32to my place and it's like, come on, man.
- 47:33Like at least be a little bit sensitive.
- 47:35You know, that he would have tried to put it inside of her,
- 47:37if she'd come over. Oh, absolutely.
- 47:39Ali. But he was also like you would
- 47:41have one still like a step and a half above Nikolai.
- 47:45Like like come somewhere safe. Like the back of my van.
- 47:49He's like, hey do you want some comfort in my bed, come
- 47:51somewhere safe like under my sheets.
- 47:59So, the doorbell rings in it looks like nobody is there, but
- 48:04Jennifer has actually snuck in into the kitchen and she looks
- 48:08fucked up. Yeah.
- 48:10She's covered in blood. She's not talking to needy.
- 48:14She raided the fridge and starts to eat a rotisserie chicken but
- 48:17then throws up this like demon, tar, I like before that though.
- 48:21She's called out on it, but I needi need.
- 48:24He's like, what are you doing? She said, Mom, it's everywhere.
- 48:31And I'm actually not. Yeah, it's just like I didn't
- 48:39even know what to call it as I called it spiky black vomit
- 48:44because think of the Symbiote from Venom.
- 48:48Hmm. Spider-Man.
- 48:49It's just a black sludge that moves around.
- 48:52Yeah. Hey it's this is also Spider-Man
- 48:54movie. Yeah.
- 48:56Yeah. You know what?
- 48:57Juno Spider-Man crossover. Once again, JK Simmons Jacobson
- 49:05glue This Together. Sure.
- 49:07You're right. And then like, Jennifer kind of
- 49:13throws media up against the wall and ask, if she's scared and
- 49:16then she runs away sniffs all over.
- 49:20It's a very strange scene. So, I cussed of the next day of
- 49:24school and Jennifer just fine. Yeah.
- 49:27She she's also very mean. Too needy.
- 49:30Yeah. Well she's like glowing at this
- 49:31point to she's feeling fantastic.
- 49:34Yeah. And it's just everybody's like
- 49:40crying throughout the Halls. They've all like everybody knew
- 49:45somebody at the bar that night. Yeah, that's that was another
- 49:48thing where she's like D do you not know what happened?
- 49:53Like, there was a fire last night.
- 49:55Everybody there died. And then she's like, anybody, we
- 49:58know, and she's like, we know, Everybody.
- 50:00This is a small town. I'm kind of surprised that
- 50:03school is still in session that day.
- 50:04I know in most situations, it would have been cancelled, but
- 50:07yeah, continue on for whatever reason and we go a sad Montage
- 50:11of everybody, coping with all of the death that has happened.
- 50:15And yeah, it's sad. But throughout all that, you
- 50:18just getting shots of Jennifer just thriving, she's being
- 50:22herself and unfazed by the whole situation and she seduces
- 50:27Craig's. Best friend.
- 50:28Jonas, yes. And she tells them that one of
- 50:32the last things that he said to her was that he always thought,
- 50:36Jonas, and Jennifer would make a really cute couple.
- 50:39And so they go into the woods and he's still crying.
- 50:43But he's also thinking he's going to get his dick sucked.
- 50:46He's got a lot of confusing emotions going on and I will say
- 50:48the actor played this really well.
- 50:50Like with his facial expressions like he was like sad horny.
- 50:53He was like I don't know what's happening.
- 50:54I mean I think it's pretty fair to be happy because like Touches
- 51:00his junk but then immediately follows it with a question.
- 51:02Like, are you sad that your friend died?
- 51:05Like how are you supposed to fill in this situation?
- 51:08Very conflicting, emotions. That's what I'm saying.
- 51:10Like, I think he acted it really well.
- 51:12He did a great job with it, so she starts to seduce him and
- 51:17then he throws him up against a tree.
- 51:20Also before, then I think it's amazing that it almost turned
- 51:24into a Disney movie. Yeah.
- 51:26All the animals of the nature, all natured gathered.
- 51:29Around to watch these two fog. Now, I'm curious if this was
- 51:32filmed in the same place as the most recent season of stranger
- 51:36things, because it feels very similar to like where they would
- 51:39meet before walking into the woods.
- 51:40That's what I was thinking too. I got this like it's such a
- 51:43similar Vibe. Yeah, so yeah, this is where
- 51:48he's doing the crying and JK Simmons is out in the parking
- 51:51lot going on and he I think he's like.
- 51:55That doesn't sound like healthy crying.
- 51:57Yeah. He's kind of goes.
- 52:01Low Shoulder gained Fame, through the tragedy.
- 52:06Just, you know, it's just important to throw that out
- 52:08there. It wasn't just that they were
- 52:09there, but like now they're saying that they like saved
- 52:12people. They're being interviewed by a
- 52:14radio station, and they have taken credit for rescuing
- 52:17people, from the fire, which is such bullshit, and you would
- 52:21think that there were enough survivors there to see them.
- 52:25Just casually walk over to, maybe they saw them take Jin.
- 52:30I think it's probably one of those things that either the
- 52:33people that survived that weren't saved by them, are
- 52:36either going to be like, oh, I guess I just wasn't paying
- 52:39attention to what the band was doing or they'll be like yeah
- 52:43all day somebody save me could have been the band.
- 52:45I'll say that. The band save me.
- 52:46Yeah, sure. That's a cool story to tell ya.
- 52:51This is also where need he's mom wakes up and tells her about
- 52:54her. You messed up dream.
- 52:57So weird. I say that to her.
- 52:58What would you say that to totter After experiencing a very
- 53:02traumatic night? Yeah.
- 53:05And her mom doesn't really seem that concerned about what need
- 53:07he's gone through either. Yeah.
- 53:09She's like you have this tragedy has affected me.
- 53:13Yeah. So Jennifer doesn't care about
- 53:18the tragedy. She just cares about being hot
- 53:21and feeling happy and strong chip.
- 53:26Calls needy and asked to meet at MaComb Park and so they meet
- 53:29their in. Apparently, he lives like next
- 53:31door to the casals and that's how he learns that Jonas was
- 53:36found murdered murdered. I also like during that
- 53:40conversation when Jennifer's on hold she just takes a wider and
- 53:44lights her tongue on fire and we watch it.
- 53:45He'll like it's is really cool. Yeah so it's been one month
- 53:51through that whole time, people have been morning, killing
- 53:54singing. Through the trees and a
- 53:56candlelight vigil. Yeah.
- 53:58Which I'm sure that that would happen but at the same time I
- 54:02would if that were the song of My Tragedy, I would be so upset
- 54:06that's a ghost. Like don't you dare play that?
- 54:10I'm not sure why the fuck these guys come on.
- 54:13Hello shoulder is releasing through the trees was a benefit.
- 54:16Single three percent of the proceeds are going to the
- 54:19families affected and need it goes what about the other 97%?
- 54:24And those are girl. The beginning.
- 54:26Yeah. When go from the beginning he's
- 54:27going shut up needy. They're being so generous.
- 54:29They save lives. I think it's so fucking like the
- 54:32only person that has room to actually talk about this is
- 54:36needy because she was there and she points out the whole thing.
- 54:40And this girl here is like, no, no no, their National Treasure,
- 54:42they saved lives are such good people.
- 54:45She's like, they literally dared.
- 54:47I saw them kidnapped my best friend and potentially rape her.
- 54:50I don't know why. I have you noticed that
- 54:52Jennifer's been acting weird? Yes.
- 54:54Because of them. Yeah, she's always been kind of
- 54:56like this, she's always been me. Speaking of Jennifers, she's
- 55:00feeling bad and she doesn't look great for her.
- 55:06She looks fine. But I guess by her standards of
- 55:10how she's been presenting herself.
- 55:12She, she's looking more pill. Yeah.
- 55:15They literally like they just don't put as much makeup on her.
- 55:17Yeah, that's all it is. Yeah, and she says, I guess it's
- 55:20just wearing off and he's like, huh, I like this part here.
- 55:24So call And what's the Kyle gallner?
- 55:28Yeah, his character is the second demo version of Kyle
- 55:31gallner that we've discussed. We previously discussed some
- 55:33being emo on our Nightmare on Elm Street, remake episode and
- 55:36we're gonna discuss them being a white trash jerk later this.
- 55:41Oh my God, you're right. So not only is it pride month,
- 55:45it's also a month. I like how he asks Jenna.
- 55:50He's like, yeah, there's going to be a late night showing of
- 55:53Rocky Horror. I thought you would want to go
- 55:55So she's like I don't really like boxing movie.
- 55:57Yeah. And he's like, it's not a, you
- 56:01know what? Fuck me.
- 56:02I'm not gonna do this. Yeah, he like it if you think of
- 56:05that cross his face that this isn't going to be worth the
- 56:09discussion, he's just like, okay I totally respect that because
- 56:13it takes a lot of courage to do that.
- 56:15But to realize even though she is so pretty, that she's not
- 56:19going to be into your interest. Be like, you know what?
- 56:21Fuck this. I don't want to talk to you on
- 56:23the other hand, though. Part of me wonders.
- 56:26If it was just like a joke on her part because that's the as
- 56:29much as I love Rocky Horror. I could see me making a dumb
- 56:32joke like that. It felt deliberate.
- 56:35I think that she was just trying to get under his skin.
- 56:37Yeah. The only reason because she
- 56:38doesn't care about him but as soon as needy says that, she
- 56:43thinks that he's cool. She's like, oh, really, okay?
- 56:46And then I was reading something else about how she picks her
- 56:50victims and how it's always in proximity to needy.
- 56:54It's Seems like, you know, so she expresses that, you know,
- 56:58she likes calling their clothes from being in class together and
- 57:01that's what changes Jennifer's mind.
- 57:03And then, of course, later, she goes to, she goes for a chip, so
- 57:06there's like some more of that connection between the, two of
- 57:09them, that, that charge, and that tension.
- 57:11It doesn't make sense though with the football player, but I
- 57:16think she was just looking for a victim there.
- 57:18Yeah. So yeah, she changes her mind
- 57:23and asked calling out so they're going to go.
- 57:26Yeah. She's like I'll text you my
- 57:28address. Meanwhile Chip says he went to
- 57:31the Super Target so small town. Like I wanted the Super Target
- 57:36and he bought some wear condoms to be.
- 57:38The reason that you know, she comes over.
- 57:41But would you safe with these condoms?
- 57:43Yeah, extra safe. So Ian, chipper doing it.
- 57:50And I want to point out the condom, snapping up against his
- 57:53being being like, yeah, again such a high school virgin move.
- 57:58Like we're going to snap it because we think that's how it's
- 58:00supposed to go. Yeah.
- 58:01She's and what you're going to say something because, you know,
- 58:04they never did the condom on a banana thing.
- 58:06So he's just like Snap. I'm just, yeah, he didn't learn
- 58:10how I wish we'd seen, who, like wins because it just didn't.
- 58:18And this is all So that's going down while Colin is driving over
- 58:24to hang out with Jen and his whole drive over.
- 58:27He's vibing out to a goth emo version of I can see clearly
- 58:33now. Yeah, I love how into it that he
- 58:36gets though, like, when he's singing, I find that relatable
- 58:40because that's how we all are when we're in the car.
- 58:42But by ourselves and, you know, you're just trying to like, get
- 58:44into mood. And I, a lot of people talk
- 58:48about this like, like the parallels between the scenes
- 58:52weren't, you know, it's a very mild first time, sex scene
- 58:59between needy and Chip and then we've got Guts and Glory over on
- 59:08the other side of town with Jennifer and Colin.
- 59:10I got some Glory. Yeah, I mean, I bet it's
- 59:14killing. Yeah.
- 59:15Okay yeah, I can't think of the right word I wanted.
- 59:17So that's what I want was in the okay.
- 59:19Yeah. Where is she's just like,
- 59:23there's no hesitation she's going right for it and then all
- 59:27of a sudden it's just a blood-soaked Fest.
- 59:30Yeah. She gets to the end of it.
- 59:32She gets she gets right to the point.
- 59:34Ain't it is creepy though. So you pull.
- 59:38He pulls up in front of the house and it's developing
- 59:41neighborhood. I don't think any of these
- 59:43houses are occupied by still under construction.
- 59:45And he is not at all concerned by the fact that he has to climb
- 59:48in through an upstairs window. Yeah, the front door is locked
- 59:50but there's a light on upstairs. Yeah so he goes up there and he
- 59:55can hear music playing and then she confronts him takes off his
- 59:58pants and then she needs some hopeless.
- 1:00:01Yeah and she shows her eye. As soon, and that's when he
- 1:00:07realizes like, oh shit, you're actually a succubus.
- 1:00:11Yep, he gets killed. And so needy.
- 1:00:14Meanwhile is like seeing visions, kind of what's
- 1:00:17Happening. She saw visions of the bloody
- 1:00:19Jonas and blood coming through the ceiling.
- 1:00:21And she freaks out and ship is like, man.
- 1:00:25I'm so good at sex, - this is a good bit of humor here because
- 1:00:29she's she's moaning, because she's freaking out.
- 1:00:33Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:00:35Well, you can see like whenever she starts at first, he's like,
- 1:00:38whoa, smiling. Wow, I'm really doing it.
- 1:00:40This is awesome meal. Yeah.
- 1:00:46And Sunny D, freaks out, and she drives away and if she's driving
- 1:00:50home Jennifer Lopes across the street.
- 1:00:54So needy has to Swerve to avoid her and then Jennifer like jumps
- 1:00:57on the windshield and completely fucks up Nittis.
- 1:00:59Mom's car. Yeah, fuck that.
- 1:01:01That sucks. He gets home her, mom's not
- 1:01:06home, she crawls into bed and then all of a sudden Jen appears
- 1:01:09in bed too and they kiss, like they have a full moment before
- 1:01:14need. He's like, wait, what the fuck
- 1:01:15is happening? Yeah, she just has like a real
- 1:01:18moment there and they started going over everything.
- 1:01:23The events that led up to this. Yeah, she's like, you're my best
- 1:01:26friend and I haven't felt good. Not telling you everything.
- 1:01:28So, here's the story of what actually happened and basically
- 1:01:31she got in, Back off, low, shoulders car and they started
- 1:01:35to drive away. And she realized something was
- 1:01:38really off, and she was like, please don't rape and murder me.

- 1:02:17I can't believe she actually gave them her name.
- 1:02:20Like, if they don't have your name, it probably is not going
- 1:02:23to be a successful. Well, it already wasn't
- 1:02:24successful because she's not a virgin.
- 1:02:27I think it's fucked up but also a part of the dark humor that
- 1:02:31they start singing. 8675309. Yeah, it's so fucked up.
- 1:02:39Yeah inches says that. They went all Benihana on her,
- 1:02:42but it apparently didn't kill her and he's like, are you sure?
- 1:02:45Yeah. Are you sure you just didn't die
- 1:02:47and come back and Jennifer said she woke up hungry and like her
- 1:02:51instincts, just took her Danny Diaz house but she didn't want
- 1:02:54to hurt me D. So then she leaves and and she's
- 1:02:59leaving the house. She runs into I met from India.
- 1:03:02Yeah, the guy that had The beam collapse on him in the fire and
- 1:03:06she says, does anybody know that you survived and he shakes his
- 1:03:09head? No, she goes just your house
- 1:03:11family. Know where you are and he shakes
- 1:03:12his head. No.
- 1:03:13And she goes come with me and, you know, at first, he probably
- 1:03:17was grateful thinking that she was going to help him and then
- 1:03:19instead she just eats him. Yeah.
- 1:03:23And she said that she's unkillable when she's full of
- 1:03:27she like demonstrates by cutting her arm open and I just like
- 1:03:30heels in front of them and he's like, you need to leave.
- 1:03:33Eve, go. I can't do that, but get stuck
- 1:03:38you. So people are less impacted by
- 1:03:42Collins death and there is a cynical part of me because I
- 1:03:45think some of it is that there's just been so much tragedy.
- 1:03:49And there's only so much room. You have to retreat back to
- 1:03:52further tragedy. Yeah, you're kind of numb but
- 1:03:54also part of me is like is it because he's not a jock.
- 1:03:59Are one of the cool kids at the bar like he's not part of a big
- 1:04:01tragedy like he's just another in a string of murders and he's
- 1:04:04got a weird kid you never get anybody reacting to all men that
- 1:04:07he's not even once brought up after the fact they just think
- 1:04:10they JK Simmons brings him up. He says on that from India, died
- 1:04:13in the fire, he's the only one that cares.
- 1:04:18Okay. So needy is researching succubi,
- 1:04:23I love that. This is a Trope that just in
- 1:04:26your high school library, you can find books on telekinesis
- 1:04:31you can find it on Satanic rituals.
- 1:04:34Well, I do love that when she's telling chip about her research,
- 1:04:37she says our library has an occult section.
- 1:04:38She goes. It's not very big.
- 1:04:41I love the hand waving that. That yeah.
- 1:04:43But yeah. So basically a succubus can
- 1:04:46occur when A ritual is supposed to use if your region but
- 1:04:50doesn't use a virgin and then I'm she needs to feed to stay
- 1:04:55full or to stay healthy. And when she's at her weakest
- 1:04:59she can be killed by a beast blade to the heart.
- 1:05:01Yes, it's also worth noting this kind of reversal on puberty
- 1:05:10that. Once a month she has to drink on
- 1:05:11blood. Oh wow.
- 1:05:13I didn't even think about that. Yes.
- 1:05:14The total reverse. Yeah, I didn't come up with
- 1:05:16that. That wasn't one of them.
- 1:05:18Yeah yeah. Wow but yeah basically how it
- 1:05:22changes your life forever just you know a reversal on how it
- 1:05:25changes your life forever. Basically.
- 1:05:27Yeah there's a lot of reversals of things like that in this
- 1:05:30movie. Yeah.
- 1:05:32So Chip invites needy the dance? Well, he doesn't even really
- 1:05:36invite. You just says, hey, I bought my
- 1:05:37tickets because that's what you do.
- 1:05:38When you're in a relationship in high school.
- 1:05:40You don't have to say, do you want to go to the Vans?
- 1:05:41It's just like hair about the tickets for the dance.
- 1:05:43Yeah. Also, we didn't realize that we
- 1:05:45were picking another, basically, Prom movie.
- 1:05:48Yes, open up June but they never necessarily say promise.
- 1:05:51It's just a mouse. Yeah.
- 1:05:56And needy tries to explain everything that's going on.
- 1:05:59She explains how Jennifer's like feeding on people and especially
- 1:06:03boys and that's how she's staying glowy and healthy and
- 1:06:07strong. And that the stance is going to
- 1:06:08be like an all-you-can-eat buffet and that it's not see for
- 1:06:11chip to go, but she's gonna go to keep an eye on her and they
- 1:06:15basically break up. I don't understand why she That
- 1:06:18leap to assume that Jennifer is going to attack the entire
- 1:06:22school when her a ho limo so far has been isolate people and do
- 1:06:25it privately. I think a part of her research
- 1:06:28involved. Also watching carry.
- 1:06:29Yeah it must have been chilly and there's going to be a bucket
- 1:06:32of blood and that's gonna fall one somebody and yeah.
- 1:06:36It's all going to go to hell pretty much yes but yeah they
- 1:06:39break up. It's sad that I feel bad for
- 1:06:41chip so we cut to everybody getting ready for the dance and
- 1:06:47needy is Is standing by the punch bowl, keeping an eye on.
- 1:06:50Everybody chip is still going. He hasn't told his mom about The
- 1:06:54Break-Up. Yeah, and his mom is, in fact,
- 1:06:57you know, like asking if she is, he gonna go pick media up and
- 1:07:01he's like, I'm meeting her at the dance because okay, any
- 1:07:03pictures with your sister, notice how he doesn't have a
- 1:07:06car. How was he supposed to pick her
- 1:07:08up? If he didn't have a car, they're
- 1:07:10just going to walk together. I guess I think they live within
- 1:07:13walking distance of the school. It seems that way I guess, but
- 1:07:16she hands him pepper spray because there's a Young boys out
- 1:07:18there, getting targeted. So, take this to protect mom.
- 1:07:21I've been using the Bowflex. Yeah, my penis is so big.
- 1:07:25It hurts my girlfriend to have sex, she ran, and she cried and
- 1:07:28she broke up with me after. That's how big I am.
- 1:07:33Jennifer is also getting ready and this is the scene where
- 1:07:36she's smearing the make up on her face.
- 1:07:37You can tell it's been about another month because she's
- 1:07:40yeah, she's like, I'm more tired and her hair's falling out.
- 1:07:45So Jen is behind ship in the park and she stops him and tells
- 1:07:50him that needing Colin were actually having sex on the reg.
- 1:07:54You could tell she was so upset. That was a good move because he
- 1:07:58was insecure about Colin earlier because Colin approach them
- 1:08:01together. He's like, by the way needy.
- 1:08:03I'm glad that you're still alive.
- 1:08:04Yeah. And how dare he be happy my
- 1:08:07girlfriend's alive, but she was kind of gushing over a call and
- 1:08:10talk about how cool and Grady is, and that's why.
- 1:08:13I mean, they just weren't a good match.
- 1:08:15They were such a high school relationship.
- 1:08:16Yeah. And so then she's like, seducing
- 1:08:19chip basically. Yeah.
- 1:08:21Oh, guess what? Low?
- 1:08:23Shoulder decided to show up at the dance in the middle of their
- 1:08:26sold-out Nationwide tour. How generous of them?
- 1:08:29We only hear that one song and I swear if this if they were
- 1:08:33allowed to live and continue their career and they would be
- 1:08:36known as one-hit wonders. I do love that they have a very
- 1:08:40Maroon 5. Look about them because as
- 1:08:42they're performing the ritual, Dirk the guitars.
- 1:08:45This is like, I'm not so sure. I want to go through this and
- 1:08:47Nikolai is like do you want to keep working at the cat at the
- 1:08:51as a barista? Or do you want to be like that
- 1:08:53guy from Maroon 5 because? All right, and then they take a
- 1:08:57look like Maroon 5. Yeah.
- 1:08:58There will completely change. Yeah.
- 1:09:00I got a little bit successful. Needy senses what's happening.
- 1:09:06Yeah, like she's an action with Jennifer and she senses what's
- 1:09:09happening? Yeah, when she walks around and
- 1:09:10realizes that Jennifer never showed up, yeah, she was way
- 1:09:14off. Off.
- 1:09:15So she runs to try and save chip, Jennifer has taken chip to
- 1:09:20The subpoena and Aquatic Center and he's just like you know,
- 1:09:25that this is weird. I don't want to keep kissing
- 1:09:27you. The vibe is off and I've never
- 1:09:29actually really liked you and so Jennifer's mad.
- 1:09:32And unfortunately needy is a little bit too late because by
- 1:09:35the time she gets in there chip has.
- 1:09:38He's bled a lot. Yeah he's he's not looking so
- 1:09:41good from his own words. He was already dead.
- 1:09:44He's just Is brought back because she entered the scene.
- 1:09:48Lame, lame. No, that's such a Cheesy line.
- 1:09:51Did I on? Yeah, I like, no.
- 1:09:56Come on in. He's trying to have a deep
- 1:09:58moment. They're either way.
- 1:10:00So he is 17 and this is DB exactly.
- 1:10:04So she finally needy finally stands up to Jennifer and says
- 1:10:08everything. She's ever wanted to say to her
- 1:10:10about how she's not, you know, the queen bee anymore and how
- 1:10:14she's kind of Of a shitty friend and she's not like the most
- 1:10:17popular girl anymore and how people just don't care about her
- 1:10:21and she has to have laxatives to stay skinny and hitting all of
- 1:10:24the insecurities. Yeah.
- 1:10:28And so they're like fighting and that one point ship stabs
- 1:10:32Jennifer in the stomach. And so she leaves.
- 1:10:35And after she leaves chips, chip dies.
- 1:10:37Awesome. Before that, though, they did
- 1:10:38that thing where she starts flying.
- 1:10:40Yeah, she can fly to all the Hoppers.
- 1:10:43She doesn't fly, she hovers but that was She's like, oh, she can
- 1:10:46fly now. Chief says, she said, I've been
- 1:10:49flying. She's just hovering and engines
- 1:10:51like, why do you always undermine everything I do?
- 1:10:53I mean for real, why would you undermine that?
- 1:10:56That's impressive. You can, you hover needy?
- 1:10:59You can't make that sound unimpressive.
- 1:11:03Great. So now, we're back to the
- 1:11:04beginning of the, maybe in needy bus in to Jennifer's room and
- 1:11:08says, you killed my boyfriend, your terrible friends.
- 1:11:11And they're fighting, she's got a Box cutter and she's crossed
- 1:11:17out Jennifer because that's something that Jennifer had
- 1:11:19always do to needy. If she was like us on action in
- 1:11:22life across that meaty. Yeah.
- 1:11:24So she crossed out Jennifer and they're fighting and they're
- 1:11:27hover fighting. And then what really gets
- 1:11:31Jennifer is when needy rips off for BFF necklace?
- 1:11:34No good. It seemed to hit like the human
- 1:11:38part that was left in her. Yeah.
- 1:11:40And in, that moment is, when meaty stabs are in the heart.
- 1:11:43So we can do A turn and then, as she's stabbing her in the heart,
- 1:11:47Jennifer's mom, walks in like, what's the Ruckus up here?
- 1:11:50You all and then she just finds needy on top of Jennifer
- 1:11:53stabbing. Can you imagine that?
- 1:11:56Because they must have grown up in each other's houses, like,
- 1:11:59the moms must know each other's daughters, as well as their own
- 1:12:03daughters at those Point. Yeah.
- 1:12:04Well liked and I had friendships like that in high school.
- 1:12:07My best friend's mom, made me birthday.
- 1:12:10Cakes regularly, you know, like it just, you get that kind of
- 1:12:14dynamic range. I'm very comfortable with each
- 1:12:16other's families. So can you imagine walking in
- 1:12:18and seeing this person that's basically been another daughter
- 1:12:21to you murdered your daughter. Yeah, it especially I feel like
- 1:12:26she has been entirely out of the loop on everything here.
- 1:12:29She said, Jennifer has been having a normal life and then
- 1:12:31all of a sudden, she finds like my daughter's hot.
- 1:12:34Yeah, I win someday. She's not as high, but, you
- 1:12:37know, I month later, she's always back on top.
- 1:12:39Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:12:40She barely eats anything. So, I'm saving a ton on
- 1:12:42groceries. Yeah.
- 1:12:46So yeah she is arrested during the prison and she reveals that.
- 1:12:52What many scholars don't even know is that if you're bitten by
- 1:12:55a demon and don't die you absorb some of the Demons abilities.
- 1:12:59Yeah, forgot to mention in that scuffle.
- 1:13:01She did get bit by Jennifer. So she's seen flying.
- 1:13:05She is. Excuse me.
- 1:13:06Hovering yeah, she hovers. Her way out of solitary
- 1:13:08confinement and bus her way out of the prison and then she
- 1:13:12hitchhikes to catch the last leg.
- 1:13:15Below shoulder tour and we see Clips throughout the credits of
- 1:13:22Low Shoulder, being on tour and partying, like rock stars and
- 1:13:24doing cocaine, and then oh here's needy.
- 1:13:28It's credits like that are always satisfying.
- 1:13:31Yes, that's a great way to end in.
- 1:13:33Just show the people that deserve it to just get it.
- 1:13:36Yes. All right, I'm not even sad for
- 1:13:39those douchebags fuck those guys they would have been one hit
- 1:13:41wonders. Yeah.
- 1:13:43Okay so that's the truth. It's all right.
- 1:13:47How you feel about it after talking about it.
- 1:13:49That's like 1/8 is the right, right?
- 1:13:51Scored for it. Yeah.
- 1:13:52So think so too. I think.
- 1:13:57I don't know. I can't put on my finger exactly
- 1:13:59what it would take to improve the writing.
- 1:14:02I think it's really solid film. I think part of it is just that
- 1:14:04it's kind of heavy and I always feel sad after watching it and
- 1:14:07yeah, yeah well it's a good mixture, it is heavy.
- 1:14:12But it does have a good mixture of Comedy as a good mixture of
- 1:14:15like pure fun horror but it also has some dramatic moments to it
- 1:14:19has a lot of everything. I think it measures everything
- 1:14:21pretty well. Yeah.
- 1:14:23It's just one of those movies to me that you know I like it.
- 1:14:26There's not Early much also I would do with it.
- 1:14:28It's just said it is what it is. It's an eight Talia.
- 1:14:31Also agrees, it's an eight, she was pretty relaxed or most of it
- 1:14:35but you know what really got her going when Jennifer was talking
- 1:14:39chip and the park? Yes started Barkin that freaked
- 1:14:42her out Bark in the Park. Yeah.
- 1:14:44Hmm. Zoe was on the couch for most of
- 1:14:47the movie too. Yeah.
- 1:14:48So she watched it. Yeah.
- 1:14:50This is a big hit throughout the everybody loved it.
- 1:14:53Yep. Okay who did you relate to I
- 1:14:58think it's going to be somewhere between calling and Chip are
- 1:15:07related to them both in a lot of ways.
- 1:15:09I think chip was. I don't know, I didn't really
- 1:15:17relate to most either of these guys in high school because
- 1:15:20those weren't really me. I didn't really need to, I
- 1:15:23guess, you know, I could maybe I'll relate to too needy in the
- 1:15:28situation because I also was in one of those friendships growing
- 1:15:31up where I was friends with, like, one of like the popular
- 1:15:36kids, except we grew apart, like a middle school.
- 1:15:40Because like, we were young friends, we had that sandbox
- 1:15:42friendship with in, As We Grew Older, like the high school
- 1:15:48politics and stuff like that. Just kind of like pulled us
- 1:15:51apart. So, you know, he went on with
- 1:15:54his popular friends. I went on with my My nerdy
- 1:15:58little friends and, you know, except she doesn't really do
- 1:16:02that with Jennifer. She still sticks with her, I
- 1:16:04don't know. I think it's pretty clear from
- 1:16:08our discussions throughout that I relate to needy.
- 1:16:10Yes. Okay, dream sequel.
- 1:16:17I think that because we never have like actual confirmation
- 1:16:20Jennifer's dad, you know what I mean?
- 1:16:22Yeah, maybe, maybe she survived it and maybe she went on to
- 1:16:27become a famous actress. Starring the Transformer movie
- 1:16:32is maybe where actually we have actual Jennifer now.
- 1:16:36Yeah, okay. Yeah.
- 1:16:37You know, I think I could And like they're both out there it's
- 1:16:41like two different like you think that they would like she
- 1:16:45would seek out Jennifer to try and get her revenge.
- 1:16:49Yeah. She would like be getting hints
- 1:16:51that she notices a, there's another succubus in the area.
- 1:16:55Ooh, yeah. And she's trying to track it
- 1:16:57down. Only to find out that she never
- 1:17:00killed Jim. Okay.
- 1:17:04Alternate tag lines. Best friends for nether.
- 1:17:12Oh, I like that. I could actually see that being
- 1:17:14on the poster. Okay, nice, perfect.
- 1:17:18Okay. I have a review.
- 1:17:20Okay. And I knew how we both felt
- 1:17:22about it. So I found a more negative
- 1:17:24review. And this one's pretty short.
- 1:17:27It just says highly overrated, and this was written in 2021.
- 1:17:30It's an IMDb review, went out of 10, okay?
- 1:17:33Why did some People give this such high marks, the plot makes
- 1:17:36no sense, the writing's bad, the characters have nothing to them,
- 1:17:40Jennifer's a terrible friend, and we can't care about her.
- 1:17:44I never want to watch this again at so bad.
- 1:17:46What the heck is this writing? Who the heck are these
- 1:17:48characters? Okay, so I can kind of see it
- 1:17:52from maybe a character development standpoint.
- 1:17:57If you don't feel like you get enough of the characters because
- 1:18:01we hear that needy and Jennifer Don't have a ton in common but
- 1:18:05do we really get? We don't really see them before
- 1:18:10the incident. We just get to see them after
- 1:18:15this event plays. I guess.
- 1:18:17I don't know. I guess it depends on if you
- 1:18:19want to have that in your movie. All right.
- 1:18:22Do we have any listener reviews? Yeah, we got a couple here.
- 1:18:27They're all on Twitter this time.
- 1:18:28Okay, so we'll start off with Kevy Kev.
- 1:18:32He says loved it. A unique Twist on.
- 1:18:34Mythic succubi Megan Fox oozes sex appeal, but it was really
- 1:18:38exercise perfectly in the movie Amanda Seyfried, that's how you
- 1:18:42say her name Seyfried, always said Seyfried, but Amanda
- 1:18:45Seyfried nailed her role, great Gore and defects 8.5 out of 10.
- 1:18:50I agree with all those points. It is a good balance it.
- 1:18:53Like and again that was the whole thing that pushed me off
- 1:18:55about it. I was like okay cool we're just
- 1:18:57playing off of Megan. Fox being hot and we are but
- 1:19:01it's balanced just right in the story.
- 1:19:02For what the story is trying to do.
- 1:19:04Yeah, it's important to the story but I don't think that
- 1:19:07it's important to the plot is things like that or into the
- 1:19:12pot. Okay.
- 1:19:14Next up we have Tyler. He says this movie was pinned
- 1:19:17critically because it was promoted wrong.
- 1:19:19Jeffrey's body is for people who like fun and who support Women's
- 1:19:23Rights and Wrongs, it's campy gory and the soundtrack, maybe
- 1:19:26the best of all time, Colin was really jamming in that car.
- 1:19:31Yes, he was he was gym and hard, Sear.
- 1:19:34Kyle gallner gets into it, he really gets, he takes the hinges
- 1:19:40off. And the final one from Mac,
- 1:19:43wheelie boosts the definition of hot garbage.
- 1:19:47I wish I knew more about why you think that I'm cute?
- 1:19:49Yeah, I'm curious to he did. However, he posted another thing
- 1:19:53saying, although, apparently it was based off of a real thing, I
- 1:19:56think the title of the movie was based off of a whole song, which
- 1:20:00I think is a whole different like discussion to have in and
- 1:20:03of itself. But I don't have the chance to
- 1:20:07watch that before we were. I didn't either.
- 1:20:09But if you guys want to watch it, he then posted in our RV
- 1:20:13Twitter to. Yeah.
- 1:20:14So it, I actually think I might sounds interesting either way.
- 1:20:20Yeah, care to elaborate boots. Either way, that's it.
- 1:20:25That's it for the review. So we got.
- 1:20:27All right, all right. And I believe that that's
- 1:20:29actually it for this weeks episode.
- 1:20:30All right, so next week is actually an episode that we've
